A. @. l.. IMPROVEMENTS.

Weldon, N. c., Jan. 14.-The At
lantic Coast Line is having surveys
made from Weldon to Garysburg, a
distance of two and a half miles, for
two miles of track and a new steel
bridge over Roanoke river, the bridge
to be longer and higher than the
Seaboard bridge, and to cost in the
neighborhood of $1,000,0OO.
Since the destruction of the COM
pany's bridge by the freshet of 1877
the Coast Line has been using the
tracks of the Seaboard Air Line and
the Seaboard bridge to come into
Weldon.
The Coast Lines new route and
bridge will bring their trains into
Weldon overhead. and they will use
the second story of the new passen-
ger station to be erected, and the
Seaboard will use the first floor. The
tracks from Garysburg to Weldon
Will be double track, and the i'm
mense steel bridge will be construct
ed for a double track. The bridge
proper, with it's trestles, will be over
half mile long.

HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM.
Ie II an Internal Disease and Re-
quircs an Internal Remedy.

The cause Of Rheumatism and kim
dred diseases is an excess Of uric acid
In the blood. To cure this terrible dis
ease this acid must be expelled and
the system so regulated that no more
acid will be formed In excessive quan-
titles. Rheumatism Is an internal
disease and requires an internal rem
edy. Rubbing with Oils and Lini-
ments will not cure. affords only tenn
porary relief at best, causes you TO
delay the proper treatment, and al
lows the malady to get q firmer hold
on you. Liniments may ease the pain,
but they Will no more cure Rheuma-
tism than paint will change the fibre
Of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered a
perfect AMI complete cure, which Is
called i"Rheumacide." Tested in hun
dreds OF cases. II has effected the
most marvellous cures; we believe II
will cure you. Rheumacide gets at

New York, Jan. 12.-The bonds up
on which Rhode Island will demand
payment of North Carolina, though
held by individuals, have been given

their secretary, they made public to-
night letter written to Governor
Pothier, saying among other things:
while the holders Of these bonds
have no intention Of restricting in the
slightest manner the use to which
they should be applied, they would
be gratified if their proceeds were

Providence, r. l., Jan. 12.-Pro-
posing that the State Of Rhode Is
land should take legal action to re-
cover from the State of North Caro-
lima payment of coupons on bonds is
sued by the latter State in 1859, the
bond-holders' committee of North
Carolina today sent to Governor
Aram J. Potheir these bonds amount
ing to s511,00O. The original issue
amounted to s13,000,O00, distributed
among the individuals in various
parts Of the country. 1t is under
stood that the State paid the coupons
for only three years.
A few years ago the State of North
Dakota secured judgment against the
State Of North Carolina for the
amount due individuals in North Da-
kota, but the decision in the case was
not broad enough to cover bond
holders in other States. AS an in
dividual cannot bring suit against a
State, the bond-holders now desire
the State of Rhode Island to take the
matter up and endeavor to have final
payment made in all cases. Cover
nor Potheir referred the proposition
to the General Assembly.

Will Resist Payment.

Raleigh, n. c., Jan. 13.-North Car
ollna Will resist to the utmost of the
law the payment of s4S4,OsO of repu-
dated special tax bonds accepted by
the Rhode Island legislature as a do
nation from the New York bond
holders committee
Gov. Kitchen said tonight that the
Indebtedness of the State was divided
into four classes in 1879 and the
bonds accepted by Rhode Island
come under the fourth class. which
were repudiated by the people of
North Carolina and clause had
been put in the State constitution n
forbidding their payment unless rati-
fed by a vote of the people.
Gov. Kitchin said in part:
For years the holders of these
bonds have been hawking them
about the country trying to give for
elgn States a sop to sue a sister
State. Great States like New York
ana Mlchlgan and others had the op-
portunity of such gifts and with g..
high sense Of propriety have declined
them. 1 will not criticise Rhode Is
land for l believe when full informa~
ton Is disclosed it will be seen that
her people have been duped as were
ours when the fraudulent bonds were
negotiated"
These bonds were issued by the
carpetbagger legislatures of 1S6S69.
Former Gov Glenn declared they
were issued by a legislature not le-
gally organized and constituted: were
part of a plot and conspiracy to
defraud the State and when placed
on the market were sold for mere
bagatelle. The State, he declared,
never received any value for them.

DANGER OF SPREAD OF SMALL Pox,
The U. S. Cruiser again flies the
yellow flag, at Diamond Point quar-
antine station, and men and officers
are restricted to the vessel. Late
last Friday evening a case OF fever
developed which appeared suspicious,
and as matter of precaution Sur
geon Stoner ordered the crusier
placed in quarantine while the case
was being diagnosed. 1t will be re-
membered that the ship arrived
several days ago, with q case of well
developed smallpox on board since
which time the men and crew were
all vaccinated, and since the vessel
was released from first quarantine
over 100 men had been paid off and
discharged and are now scattered
through the United States. The
wives OF several officers have arrived
and the officers have been visiting
them. If the suspected case proves
to be smallpox. fears are entertained
that the spread of the diseese may
be far reaching.

THE WELLINGTON DISASTER One
of the most terrible experiences on
the Great Northern track at Wei
lington. Tuesday morning, by which
scores of lives were lost in land
slide, has caused q thrill of horror
wherever the details have been made
known. Three trains had been stalled
for days. 1t appears that the delay
had caused much feeling on the part
of passengers who had been impOr-
tuning the officers to make an at
tempt for release. On Tuesday
morning three trains of the Great
Northern which had started on the
attempt were swept from the tracks
at Wellington. into deep canyon by
an avalanche of snow. and later an
eye witness declares that nothing
could be seen in their place except
smooth snow, where the train had
stood. Buried several hundred feet
in the canyon, were mass OF
wrecked cars, engines and many
helpless people. A few were by dill
gent efforts released, but it is admit
ted that the missing SO far ap-
proaches list of 48 persons, Mrs.
CovingtOn. of this city, appearing to
be in the list. is now reported to
have been rescued.

REV. f. NJ. Sweet, pastor of a
southern Methodist church OF Law
ton, Oklahoma, believes that Halley's
comet is the veritable Star of Bethlc-
hem which heralded the coming of
Christ, and inaugurated into oar
cherished holidays the Christmas
season, a period OF peace and good
will among men. While DR.. S. does
not deny the possibility of the star
having been special appearance for
that one divine purpose of revealing
the birth of the Christ-in fact, he
argues for the divine significance of
the phenOmenOn-Out holds that il
more probably belonged to one of the
classes Of natural stars-most prob
ably comet. He bases his belief Of
its having been the same which is
now approaching the earth, upon the
fact that. dividing the year, 1909, by
Seventy-siX, the number OF years in
which the comet recurs, there is left
but a period of nine years, indicating
that, allowing for the natural varia-
ton OF such bodies, Halley's comet,
in all probability, appeared at the
time of the Saviour's birth.

lT seems that Mike Fisher, who
has been running Drcamland" Us a
dance-hall. in a park near Seattle,
and has been indicted by the
Grand Jury for admitting minors
thereto, and place in which liquors
are sold and held in 81 200 bail, pro
poses to awaken public sympathy by
adding some less objectionable fea
lures to its management. He pro-
poses to combine church exercises
with popular amusement. Taking
cue from Dr." Matthews, the SEN
sational Presbyterian preacher, he
proposes to combine picty with plea
sure, in hiring some well-known and
talented preacher of the Gospel to
deliver exhortations, with vaudeville
acts before and after the sermon.
He has in support of this cause the
habit of the Saviour himself, whose
delight seemed to be to teach and in
Struct publicanS and sinners. See

flowing with those evidences of this
