CHANGE OF FORM.
With this issue we change the form
of our paper from a four to an eight
page sheet. This change has been
made necessary in order that we might
meet the demand lor special position
advertisements. 1 It is also done that
we may group our subjects to better
advantage. Forf example, we have
set aside an entire page for the es
pecial reading of our farmer friends,
and will be glad to have communica
tions on farms and farming from any
oi our readers who would like to con
tribute to the columns of this page.
The town locals will be found on
pages three and seven, editorial on
page two, telegraphic news on pages
one and eight, fiction on page five,
and financial clippings on page four.
It will thus be seen that each sub
ject will be treated separately, and
those wishing to read only a certain
class of matter may find it in a mo
ment. It will be our endeavor to
make every page as attractive as
possible. .
THE .ROBIN SON IMPRISONMKNT CASE.
The reading of the whole matter in
the Robinson-E wart case of contempt
and imprisonment has satisfied us as
to two points :
1. The most remarkable forbear
ance, serene temper, and calmness of
statement and comment of editor
Robinson, and
2. The high-handed tyranny and
vmdictiveness of the judge presiding

Under the abo ve headline the Smith -
field Herald says.
"It is all foolishness to talk of the
silver craze and its advocates being
fools, when its advocates all along
through the century have formed
such a brilliant array, of intellectual
lights. Take as examples Washing
ton, Jefierson, Jackson, Calhoun.
Thurman, Carlisle, Morgan and
Stephenson."
He is like the republican party,
claiming everything in siht. Out
of the eight men above mentioned
only two have made any open decla
ration for the silver of the Herald
(16 to 1), and one of those "great in
tellects" (Thurman) was never heard
of outside of 'his own State until this
year, and then only appeared as a
flash in the pan.
This is another of his misleading
statements. !
The first register of deeds of Or

never been defeated. Ex.

"The Herald census shows that there
are 155 4 more Women than men in
Morganton. Maybe that's what makes
it the best town in the State."
The Morganton Herald has the
above in its editorial columns, but we
notice in the locals that Mayor Bris
tol and Chief of Police Wall are do
ing business too. They arrested, con
victed and imposed fines to the
amount of $86 50 from thirteen law
breakers. They deserve some praise
as well as the ladies.
The Commissioner of Immigration
at the Port of New York reports a
heavy increase in immigration. So
far about 45,000 more immigrants
have landed at that port than for a
corresponding period last year.
There has been a marked increase in
the number of women and children
brought oyer to join their husbands
and fathers, which the Commissioner
thinks goes 1 to show the returning
prosperity of this country.
The developments in the Beaufort
insurance frauds show that some peo
ple are willing to go to any length to
get money. In a recent conversation
with a gentleman from Beaufort i he
stated that in one instance it was cur
rently believed that a man had mur
dered his wife in order to secure the
insurance on her life. We trust that
the guilty will be punished to the full
limit of the law.
During the past few weeks nearly
$1,000,000 has been invested in North
Carolina in cotton miils and other
manufacturing enterprises. All this
goes to prove that an era of solid
prosperity is dawning in the Old
North State. Let our people go to
work and encourage outside capital
to make investments among us; it
will prove a benefit in more ways than
we could imagine.
The United States cruiser Colum
bia arrived on this side after a most
successful trip across the Atlantic.
Her speed was remarkable, and fully
demonstrates her ability to overtake
any merchant ship afloat. Although
she did not maintain a full head of
steam for the entire trip, the record
of the ocean, made by the New York,
was only a few hours better than hers.

regiment of North Carolina National
Guard, has written to President Col

herself the fastest sailer afloat, and if
the English boat beats Ker she will
indeed be a marvel of speed.
In Spain gold and silver are carried
at a fixed ratio. We have not heard
that Spain is bothered with too much
silver. Tarboro Southerner.
No; Nor gold either.
The first tax paid by a music-in
strument dealer came into the State
Treasury from Wimington. The tax
is $250. It is the first paid in two
years. Ex. .
Nervous debility is a common com
plaint, especially among women. The
best medical treatment for this disor

KESLT NOTES.
. We have lots of girl babies here
but Dot don't feel like waiting for
them just the same.
I have been informed since my last
report that Mr, j.T. Edgerton says
its a boy, which stands No. 40.
Mrs. B. B. Rhodes, of Wilson, is
visiting her daughter here, Mrs. Dr.
Pennington. Hope when she leaves
that she may carry with her an in
creased admiration for Kenly.
We had five rains here last Satur
day night and Sunday which were
perhaps more beneficial to crop s than
any rain during this year. The feel
ings with regards to the cotton crop
are much better than they were two
weeks ago.
Mr. Jarvis Edgerton desires a cor
respondent of the following descript
ion: Female, unmarried between
seventeen and twenty years, good
looking to others. If such a one
will send him their address, they will
receive reading matter that will be ed
ifying and probably productive of
good.
At .this time, Tuesday morning, I
am called to see the child of Mr. J.
H. Davis die, age about nine months.
It breathed its last at 7:15 p. m. It
was thought some days ago that the
child was improving but it is only a
reiteration that hope is a delusion.
We extend sympathies to the bereav
ed parents and say of the child:
Sleep on darling take thy rest,
Dernot feel at all folorn;
Jesus says thou shall be blest
In the resurrection morn.
Well, as I intimated last week I
went to the picnic at Zion last Friday
which I found was represented by a
very large number of people of all
ages, from the old grandmother to the
other end of your imagination.
Some of which squalled as though
thsir feet had been poulticed with live
coals of fire. One mother told me
that her's was crying because some
body got its piece of chicken. The
people were so accomodating with
their edible viands that I eat myself
to unreasonable weight just to oblige
them, so much so that I went in the
church to lead the singing, the ca
pacity for expansion and contraction
to give power to the vocal organs
was a failure and I could do nothing
more than simply whine and squeak
from the throat. I took a lady to the
picnic and had to contend with a
great many blushes from being teased
but it the ladies will come to the same
determination .that I have we will

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn tat there is at least
one dreaded disaie that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical traternitv. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The1 proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers, that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for
any case it fails to cure. Send for list
of testimonials.

LITERARY NOTES.
The forth coming international
yacht race gives an additional
strength to the article on "The Yacht
as a Naval Auxiliary," by the Hon.
Wm. McAdoo, Assistant Secretary
of the Navy, in the August number
ot the North American Review, Mr.
McAdoo writes brilliantly regarding
the future of the naval militia.
The North American Review for
August opens with a paper on "The
Menace of Romanism" by W. J. H
Traynor, President of the American
Protective Association, and Andrew
Lang, the well known English writer,
contributes a piquant article on "Ten
dencies' in Fiction." A most sea
sonable pape is that on "What to
Avoid in Cycling," by Sir Benjamin
Ward Richardson M. D., and in
"The turning of the Tide," Worthing-
ton C. Ford, Chiet of the Bureau of
Statistics at Washington, asserts that
the commerce of the country has
turned from depression toward
prosperity. "The new Administra
tion in England, is ably treated by the
Right Hon, Sir Charles W. Dilke, M.
P., who gives a forecast of what may
be expected in British politics from
the Unionist administration.
Not since "The Anglomaniacs"
has there been so clever a society
satire as Henry Fuller's "Pilgrim
Sons," which is published in the Au
gust Cosmopolitan. The problems
involved in woman's use of the bicy
cle are so startling and so numerous,
under the rapid evolution of this art,
that one welcomes a careful discus
sion of the subject y so trained a
mind and so clever a writer as Mrs.
Reginald de Koven? The Cosmo
politan illustrates Mrs. de Koven's ar
ticle with a series of poses by profes
sional models. A new sport, more
thrilling than any known to Nimrod,
more dangerous than was ever expe
rienced by even a Buffalo Bill is ex
ploited in the same issue in an article
on "Photographing Big Game in the
Rocky Mountains," before shooting.
The idea that ten cents for The Cos
mopolitan means inferiority from a
literary point of view is dispelled by
the appearance in this unmber of such
writers as Sir Lewis Morris, Sir Ed
win Aronld, Edgar Fawcett, Tabb,
W. Clark Russell, Lang, Sarcey
Zangwill, Agnes, Repplier, etc. Nor
can we entertain the idea of inferior
ity in illustration with such names as
Hamilton Gibson, Denman, Van
Schaick, Lix, Sandharn, etc, figuring
as the chief artists oi
issue.
