In most cases there are both

clements to consider.
When such patients are OBJ

Colitis means literally inflam-
alton Of the colon or large intes-
tine. There are glands in the
colon which normally secrete
mucous, and in mucous colitis
the inflammation occurs around
these glands, causing the pour
ing out of a great mass of COM
pact mucous which when dis
charged looks like a gelatin cast
of the bowel. These periods OF
discharge of mucous are accom-
panied by considerable pain or
cramping in most cases. They

for him either by his secre-

retary, dropped heavily on the
assemblage.

Shoes, when they are not worn,

full, were / not to mention its
achievements. Credit is due this
board for the reduction of over $9.-
100000 in the States bonded debt
which made it possible for the High
way Department to carry on its OPP
erations in 1880 without issuing
bonds to finance the road program.
l cannot speak too highly of the con-
sistent and valuable support this
commission has contributed to my
administration.
WilmlngtOn'S Funded Debt
The last annual report of the trea-
surer of the city of Wilmington fixes
the bonded Indebtedness of the city
at more than $13,O0O,OOO. Some of
these bonds are serial in form but
a large number run from 20 to 80
years before maturing. In the city's
sinking fund there is something over
$4,000 that has arisen from
amounts received from infrequent
sources and deposited from time to
time; the one exception being a reg
ular payment of $4,000 annually
from tax receipts of the Mayor and
Council. This irregular, uncertain
and insufficient provision for an ad-
equate sinking fund can only lead
to heavy taxation in a few years
when the debt service of the city
will be exceptionally large. In the
interest of the citizens of the town
it seems to me important that steps
be taken to set this funded debt on
a sound basis, and to do this an
amount actuarially determined
ought to be regularly put aside and
invested so that as the bonds ma
ture there will be in the sinking
fund a sufficient sum to retire them.
Having called attention to this lnat-
ter, leave it to the consideration
of others closer to the situation.
Pardon Board
l bring to your notice the work of
the Pardon Board since the General
Assembly last convened. The menu
bers have met is times, heard "a
cases and approved two pardons.
Such conservatism by officials whose
duty imposes grave responsibility,
merits your confidence and will, l
believe, receive general appreciation.
