There was quite a storm iu the Enfield section Thursday uight. Very little ruin fell. Tho vineyard of Mr. Win. Bur nett was very much injured, a number of vines being blown dowu aud others hav ing limbs broken from them. The grapes wtre also injured, but the crop will still yield abundantly. Flower gardens were also injured, ; George Barden's horse became fright ened at a train a few days ago and he was thrown from the buggy, receiving a severe cut on one temple and bruises on hils body. The buggy was smashed. ' The Improvement company is not pushing things now, preferring to wait until the fall when business of all kinds will be in better condition. The summer ia a dull season for all enterprises, but when fall is here the company intends to go to work with energy and erect a hand some hotel, besides engaging in other en terprises of a prnti table nature. The health of the town is excellent. There has been remarkably little sickness this spring. This fact is attributed by cbservent citizens to the use of driven veils in the town, the water from which is much purer than that taken from the c!d fashioned wells, became it does not is&nd and absorb impurities from the at i losphere. The crops are generally good, the stands being excellent, but cotton is much Siter than usual and good fanners say a ilte fall will be required in order to get a full yield. . KoGeld is a line trucking section and the industry is developing into considor 1)lo importance. I'crbaps more figs are pipped from that point than from any other potut iu the State, and good prices are always realized. Mr. J. J.

The crops are fairly good, but are lat er than usual and are suffering from the cold weather and too much rain. The stand is generally good, but little work can be done and "chopping out" is slow. There is complaint of scarcity of labor caused by the exodus last fall, and the gravitation of able-bodied bands to the trucking centres where wages are thought to be higher. , Summer visitors are already beginning to arrive for the benefits they derive from Panacea and Sbaws Springs. Mr. I'ullen says he has received hundreds of applications for board, and will have both his hotels full. Others can be accommo dated at private houses. Mr. J. L. Shaw is putting up a two story brick buiiding, or rather adding a story to the one already erected. It is the only brick building in the place. A contract has been made for the chapel of the Female college. It will be 32xli0 feet and when completed will have cost So, 000, It will be finished in natural pine, oiled. The seats will be the latest improved folding opera chairs and the building will be the handsomest auditorium iu the State. It is hoped it will be completed iu two or three months. The trustees of the e jlloge have sold a large amount of the additional stock of the company and it is confidently ex pec ted that the whole of it will be disposed of in a short Mm', by the Bev. I,.

It is doubtful whether one could be made to pay. The local patronage is not s-uff.- cient to sustain one, and dependence upon outside help is precarious. There is a good deal of dysentery in this section, though none of it has devel oped into seiious illness. It is mostlv confined to infants and children. The price of cotton is not encouraging to farmers. On Saturday a small quan tity sold for the low price of 87 till per hundred, less than cuuld have been real ized for it last fall. Nothing has been heard lately of tho handsome hotel to be erected at l'amcia Springs aud the projected railroad to that place. If tho company has any movement of the kind iu contemplation it has not been made known. In the meantime it is pushiug the sale of the water in every direction.

The people of Whitakers are taking steps to secure a branch of the Hitch road which runs between Hamilton and Tarboro, having a deep water outlet at the former place. They want competi tion with the Coast Line. The road, if built, will run through a fine agricultural section and would also reach large quan tities of timber of various kinds. The Wilmington, Onslow & Eastern Carolina road has been equipped and put in operation to Jacksonville, and the com pauy has about agreed to extend the line to New Bern, a distance of forty miles. This road has already developed consid erable interest in the section through which it passes, and bids fair to be no small factor in the development of that section. The Atlantic Coast Line has perfected arrangements by which through trains with Pullman sleepers and buffet cars will run from Charleston to Cincinnati, making the distance, 700 miles, by the new schedule, which has already gone in to effect, by way of Columbia, Asheville aud Knoxville, iu twenty-six hours. This schedule gives through Pullman cars to Spartanburg, Saluda, Flat Rock, Hen. dersonville and Hot Springs. The new departure is regarded as important. The extension of the Atlantic and North Carolina road from Goldsboro to Fayetteville, arid thence to Charlotte, has been brought to the attention of the pub lic since the adjournment of the Legis lature, but no definite action has been taken in regard to it. Between Fayette ville and Charlotte it would pass through some exceedingly fine country rich in mineral deposits and timber resources while between Gold.-boro and Fayette ville it would penetrate a fiue agricultural section, which has none of the advantages of railroad transportation. The Wilmington and Wcldon road has adopted the "Quick Acting Automa tic Brake" which is operated much mom rapidly than those now in use and is not considered dangerous. It has also adopt ed the "Frost Dry Carbonator Light," which is fed by compressed air stored underneath the car which is forced up thiough gasoliue and gives a bright, clear light equal to the electric light, and far superior to it so far as simplicity of man agement is concerned. This is the only road of the Atlantic Coast Line between New York and Jacksonville which has adopted this new and improved feature in lighting cars. The Cape Fear and Cincinnati and the Charleston and Norfolk are other projected enterprises of considerable mag nitude. The former is to run from Southport to Cincinnati, and the latter from Charleston through North Caroliua to Norfolk, crossing the Carolina Ceu tral between Maxton and Cronly, the C. F. & Y. V. near Black river aud the V. & W. about Dupliu Uoads or Burgaw and thence to Norlolk by a route not yet dctcimiued upon. an oi.ii cam:. At the homo of Dr. J. T.

AMERICAN WOMEN VERY l'OH.LAU IlECAfSE THEY ARE APl'llOACHA II I, K. lhiron Straus said that American wo men were so popular in Mexico that it interfered with tho wheels of justice in that republic. "Tho American women," he said, "go about Mexico as they would in this country, while the Mexican wo men are caged up like birds. The only way to make love to them is to stand off some one hundred yards and stare. "The pretty senorita sits in her room window and you can only look at her There is one chance in a hundred of getting.au opportunity to speak to one while she is in church, but that is the only place. Last summer a New Yoik merchant and his beautiful daughter stopped for a few days in the little town where I was sojourning. The young lady was one of the handsomest that I have ever seen light hair, eyes like bits of Heaven's blue, classic form and all that was lovely. Well, can you imagine what astir she created among tho young Mexicans, who are held so far away from the native women? "The eon of a wealthy plauter used to stand for hours opposite the window of this American girl. One day the father went to the City of Mexico, leaving the girl unattended for a few hours. The young lady walked to the hotel from the station and was followed by the Mexican admirer. As she was neatly home the young fellow rushed up to her, and im planting a kiss upon her forehead ran away for dear life. "When the father came home there was a little excitement. He had the young fellow arrested, and the next day he was brought before the judge, who gravely asked what the charge was?" " 'Assaulting a woman,' spoke up the New Yorker. "What did the prisoner do?'' "'He ran up to my daughter on the street and kissed her.' "lie kissed the lovely young lady?" asked ihe judge, as he left his desk and carefully scrutinized the fair American, '"Yes, sir.' " 'Well, who wouldn't?" remarked the judge, as he left tho court room. And would you believe that was all the satis faction the New Yorker could get in Mexico. A Wouder Worker. M'. Frank Huffman, a young man of Burlington, Ohio, states that he had been under the care of two prominent pbvsi cians, and used their treatment until he vvas not able to yet around.

He was persuaded to try Dr, Kino's New Discovery for Consumption Coii'dis and Colds and at that time was not able to walk across the street without resting.

JEWISH INFANTS IN RUSSIA STOLEN AN1I SHIPPED TO EOYI'T AS IIAIT FOR CROCODILE HUNTERS. L V. M. Atkinsuu, an English traveller who was at the Leland yesterday, has recently visited Moscow and othci Rus sian cities. He declares that the Jews are persecuted most cruelly, and portrays riot where a dozen Jewish infants were torn from their mothers' arms aud thrown in the streets. Mr. Atkinson says that every stranger coming to Moscow who has a long nose is obliged to go before the Russian authority and prove that he is not a Jew. It appears that the Jews cannot leave Moscow uutil" they have signed a document stating tha they have no pecuniary obligations in the city. Mr. Atkinson states that London philan thropists are endeavoring to get the Jews to emigrate to the Arabian shores of the Red Sea, and negotiations have been be guu with the Egyptian government. "You have no idea of the cruelty in flicted upon the poorer classes of the jews, related tlio traveller. "ror a year or so hundreds of babes have been stolen and shipped to various ports ou the Nile to be used as bait by the croco dile hunters. Of course, they are not all eaten up by animals but now and then oue is caught. The crocodile hunters place a baby on the shores of the stream and presently the lazy animals come out of their beds after the infant. When the crocodile get near the little one and within shooting range of the hunters who are coneealed in the bushes, they are shot. The little babes serve as a bait to briug the animals on the banks, and by this means it is possible to get many animals which could not be reached in any other way. It has been said that the hunters have let the crocodiles approach too near the babes before firing and theii first shot being ineffectual the little one was eaten up. At any rate they are used for bait. You thiuk it queer that a wholesale kidnapping of babes is not no tieed in the newspapers. That is not strange. You don't know Russia. The papers there can only print what the government approves of. If an editor gets any news that is sensational he must first submit it to some official before using it. That is Russia." From the Chicago Herald. INFANCY TO OLD AGE. Nothing is more remarkable than the faet that a mediciue which is powerful enou''h to cure the most horrible form of blood poisouiug can be given with im punity to a little child that is ailing; and yet this is the record of Swift's Specific (S.

It is germ destroyer, a puri fier, a great remedial ageut"; it is powerful and yet harmless; it is a medicine that contains no mineral poisons; it i-s com p mnded from uature's own laboratory and works on nature's Hues to cure dis ease; it restores, revives and reinvigorates the syrtem; it may be used as a tonic by the most delicate woman; it may be given to build up the constitution id' a little child or it may bo employed to restore to health the unhappy victim of blood pois oning.

And the next instant she was shaking hands "for dear life." "Time?" called the friend. "How many?" was Mrs. Cleveland's inquiry. "Forty-seven." "Pshaw! 1 can do better than that; give me another chance." And she smiled aud shook hands with the populace for sixty seconds more, at the rate of sixty five to the minute.

The more sensitive nature of the fe male sex renders women much more sus ceptible than men to those numerous ills which spring from lack of harmony in the system. The nervous system givts way, sick headache is frequent, the appe tite is lost, and other ailments peculiar to the sex cause great fullering.
