A Weekly Democratic journal devoted to the material, educational, political and agricultural interests of Halifax and sur rounding counties. tdyAdveitising rates reasonable and furnished on application- Utah's Republican convention at Salt Lake City Wednesday sent uniu stiucted delegates to the St. Louis con vention, but pledged them to free silver. They are against MeKiuley and positive ly for Allison. An appreciative critic of Col. Iogorsoll declares that owing to his success us u lecturer ''ho will have dollars to burn." Whereupon the Philadelphia Ledger Bays how he expects to take them with hini is not stated. By the aid of the X rays physicians in Pittsburg the other day located a piece of needle in the foot of a child, after the foot had swollen to double its ordinary size, and found just where to cut to remove the needle. Here is the way the canvass stood among Republican candidates on 4th as given in the New York Mail and Ex press, Rep.; McKinley, 235; Reed, 53, Mortou, 54; Allison, 34; Quay, 25; un known or unpledged, 34. McKinley has 64 majority over all others. A Boston Transcript correspondent says: "1 think most of the members of the New Eogland Manufacturers' Asso ciation who went to Atlanta last fall were convinced that they could make as much money iQ the South in ten years as in the North in twenty years." If all of Bob Ingersoll's teachings were like the following, his name would be blessed: "Love is the only thing that will pay 10 per cent, to borrower and lender both. Joy is Wealth. Happi ness is the legal tender of the soul. 1 believe in the democracy of the home." The gold output of the United States will be materially increased by the redu lion made on Saturday in the rates for suiclting gold ores from $15 to 81) per too. This will allow a profit on ores running 820 per ton, which could not be marketed before. The reduction is due to improved metlods. During a sto'm the other day a me teorio stone dropped and buried itself in a yard in Chicago. The owner of the yard, who saw it fall, dug it out. It weighed 1 1 pounds and was hot. Perhaps this is only a little forerunner of the red hot things Chicago is to receive in th5 future. The war cloud in Africa is looming up in dark and ominous proportions. British troops are being poured into South Africa. President Kruger has told (iovetnor Robinson that negotiations between the Transvaal and Great Britain will be hope less if troops are sent to Cape Colony. Iu the meantime the Boers arc arming themselves and getting ready for war. If anyone is auxious for war they can get their till of it by goiug to Cuba, Abyssinia, the Soudao or South Africa. Who was it that said something about an era of universal peace and an luter national court ot arbitration? Such talk is rather piciuature. Men may cry "Peace! peace!" but there are wars and rumors of wars all over the world. That wa3 good news, if true, that the X ray will absolutely kill the germs of 'diphtheria and typhoid fever. We are told that the statement is made without reserve and that the decision was reached when the last of the germs which bad been exposed to the ray failed to show signs of life under the glass the deadly bacili rmuining idle and inactive in the uiidi, of the beat and most templing Citation of human tissue. The Turkish government is said to have expressed its determination to re move all missionaries who have shown any sympathy with the suffering Ar menians. Since no Christian missionary could have witnessed the atrocities to which American men and women have been subjected without an exhibition of sympathy and indignation, it is safe to say that all the missionaries it present in Turkey would come under the eontem plated ban. President Cleveland is now enga ged iu the arbitration of the claim of Italy against Colombia, all the papers in the dispute having dually been presented in accordance with the couventiou be tween the di-putants. The case involves damages amounting to Dearly 81,500,000 on accouot of the persecution of Ernesto Cerruti, a wealthy merchant, and Italian consular represen tative during a revolution in Colombia about ten years ago. Editor Hal W. Ayer, of the Gluca gon, announces that the Populists will have no further negotiations with the Republicans. Mr. Ayar says that the Popu.ist proposition looking to fusion with the Republicans involved the principles of both parties, whereas the counter proposition insisted upon by the Republicans was for spoils and for spoils alone. Mr. Butler and the other Popu list leaders have realized this and propose to repudiate all further overtures by the Republicans. The only thing which the Republicans can now do will be to endorse the action of the Populist convention. To introduce my large work, I will offer until May 1st, when I will close my gallery here, one doaen cabinet photo graphs and a 14 z 17 crayon for $5.00. G" at gallery, above Mr. E.T. Clark's sloie, and see samples of crayon, pastel and water ooiors. Don't miss this chance if you want a fine portrait. Very respectfully, '! ,s Paul M. Taylor. A million aud a half Baptists will soon be demanding the release of Rev. A. J. Ilia., the Cuban evangelist imprisoned by General vVeyler. Rev. T. K. Tiehenor, corresponding secretary of the Southern Baptist convention, has issued an address to the Baptists of the South. He calls on the denomination to raise a fund to defend Diaz and to care for him and his family. Ir. Tiehenor says that Diaz will not dare to touch a mouthful of food prepared iu the Spanish pilsoo fur fear of being poisoned. Diaz is an American citizen. 11c was a patriot of the revolution 20 years ago. To escape arrest ho threw himself into the sea, hoping to drift back to shore lit uightfall. But he floated so far out that he could not get back. A passing ship picked him up and carried him to New York. He was converted in this country joined the Baptist church, aud returned to Cuba as an evangelist. The New York Press says: Henry Ward Beeeher's sermons were stolen all over the country, and maoy a backwoods parson rode into prominence on them. Ouce upon a time the famous preacher visited a small town in the western part of this State, aud, remaining there over Sunday, of course attended el) inch. He was surprised to hear the preacher deliver in an olThatid manner one of his own sermons, preached in Plymouth church about three months previously. After the service he met the gentleman and congratulated him. "It was a most ex cellent sermon, and splendidly delivered," he said in his deep, hearty voice. "By the way, Brother Blank, how long did it take you to prepare it?'' "Oh, er," smiled the delighted parson. "I er I was not more lhau an hour and a half, I should say not more." "Indeed! Well, I wrote that sermon, and I remember it took me a mouth to think it out," Mr. Beecher replied, glueing his heavy eyes on the other. The poor parsou gasped, dropped a tear and went off to pray. Another week nearer the St. Louis Convention, and there is no break in the MeKiuley lines. They have been strengthened. lien. Alger, of Michigan, has pro nounced for McKinley, without reserve. The combine, it is true, is working to break the forces of the Ohio man's boom. The leaders arc casting about for some man of the opposition to unite upon. There was at one time talk of uniting on Senator Quay, and, later on, of taking up ex President Harrison. This talk only shows the desperate straits which the bosses are in. They arc concentrating all theit energies now on preventing Mr. Mc Kinley 'a nomination on the first ballot. The action of the Republican State Convention of North Dakota makes the Northwest solid for the Napoleon of protection from the lakes to the base of the Rockies. It is impossible to see how the force of this popular uprising of the Republican masses in t'avur of Mrjor McKinley can be thwarted or beaten by the great party bosses who have hitherto had a monopoly of making and unmaking Presidential candidates. The leaders of the Populist and Re publican, parties met in Raleigh last week tu effect fusion and as both sides were after the spoils the scheme failed to materialize The Populists demanded that the Republicans take the full silver pledge, and allow them to name the Governor and certain other officers The Republicans declined and proposed State iusion. they to have the Governor, Sena tor and other officers. This proposition waa rejected by the Populists, and both the Republicans and Populists have is sued addresses. Skinner aud Cy. Thomp son, it is said, will urge Republican and Populist fusion over Buller's head. Butler is joyful over his victory and un less the Republicans accept his terms it H pretty certain that there will be no Iusion oi Republicans and Populists this year. The situation grows more interesting each day and even the wisest and most experienced politicians arc forced to stop and ask,"Where are we at?" There are all sorts of rumors afloat. some say the Populists and Republicans will agree on a plan of fusion before the State convention, others think now is the time for Democrats and Populists to pull together, while others say let the silver men of the State stand together in the fight. Things are mightily mixed and there is no doubt about that, but we shall see what wo shall see and there is some consolation in that, Frank E. White.

Sample iree. For aale by W. M. Cohen, drueeist. Weldon, N. C. II1S SKILL CKl'Slll'D. Riiacuk Rapiis' Serenity Ifaurtd ty a l-'iglit Which Resulted Fatally-Other News Notes. Roanoke Rapids has beeu very much under the influence of the torrid wave which has lately been sweepiug over the eouutry and our "oldest inhabitants" say they have never experienced such weather duiing the long time which they have passed within the city limits. The town has been rather subdued ou account of the heat and nothing occurred to disturb its serenity until last Saturday night when a very unfortunate incident took place. Some young colored boys had been skylarking around during the evening and finally a dispute arose between two of them which cluminated iu a fight. One of ihcui, Ferry Jones, threw a stone at the other belligerent whose name was Charles Taylor and struck him on the left side of the head just below the ear in the spot whore anatomists teach us the skull is very thin. The result was that the boy Charles Taylor dropped as if shot by a galling guo aud when some of his companions went to his assistance he was entirely unconscious and died in a very few momeuts. This occurred at about eleven o'clock and a mcs-ngc was immediately telephoned to Dr. Gary, the coroner of your city, askiug him to come up in the morning and bold an iuiiust over the remains. The boy, Ferry Jones, who threw the stone made no effort to escape and was arrested and handed over to "Squire Brown" who kept him in custody until the next uioruiog. The Coroner accompaincd by Dr. I. K. Green of Weldon, wcie on hand Sunday morn ing aud the inquest Was held Dr. Green Viry skillfully performed an operation and showed to the jury the exact nature of the wound and a verdict was soon rendered to the effect that the boy came to his death on account of a blow from a stone thrown by Ferry Jones. There were several witnesses who saw the whole occurrence and Jones did not deny that he threw the stone, so it was plain sailing. After the verdict was rendered Jones was sent to the jail at Halifax where he now is and his trial will come off iu May. The boys around here have been care less in using stones as missiles and "Squire" Brnwn has warned them that they must give up that ainusemeut. On Sunday we were fortunate in hav ing the Rev. Mr. Wilcox to preach at the new Baptist church, and Rev. Mr. Tillery preached at the school house which is "en rute" from its former loca tlon to the corner jf Second aud Hamil ton streets. Notwithstanding the iucou venience of having to get through the scaffolding, which has beeu built around the school house, Mr. Tillery had a large congregation and the same may be said of Brother Wilcox's gathering. Major F.mry who has been a little un well in Richmond, has returned home and we are glad to stale is very U'ueh better. He spend.- his time 1 etween Weldon aud the Rapids and is a great favorite in both towns. We are pleased to say there is a prospect of Mrs. Emry returning hen so n as she is very popu lar here. Mr. Chankr is not in town at preseut but we hope it will uoc be long before he returns. The brick yard has started and in a short time the building of the cottages for the use of the operatives of the Roa noke Mills Co. will be under way. The contract for ihe extension of the cinal has not been let as yet but will be in a few days and before long we expect to have a busy town. Nearly every one of the trees planted last winter is living and now that they are beginuing to put out leaves they add a great deal to the appearance of the town, Mr. Wrenn, the popular contractor from Lynchburg is still here, or least he is in the vicinity, but Dame Rumor has it that he spends a good portion of his time in your town. He was one of the favored guests at the very pleasant ger man given in Weldon last Thursday, and reports that he spent a most enjoyable evening. The water in the Rjanoke is very low now a fact which the disciples of Sir Isaac Walton deplore, as they say that it there is not a rise in the water that the fish will not be able to get over the falls near Weldon and so will not get up here. Mr. Burton, of the firm ofChesterman & Co., of Richmond, reports the new mill practically finished as he is only putting on a few fiuishiog touches. The water wheel has been placed in position and is a fine piece of work. Pimples, blackheads, freckles, tun and sunburn removed.

Mott thinks that the results of the fusion cuiifcruuue uiuaus a coming to gether of the silver men in North Carolina, and a prominent Democrat, discuasiug the situation, advocates such a step. The highest compliment ever paid a College comes from the Forum which selects the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanics as one of the best fifteen technical sohools in the Uni ted States. Rev. Arthur Eldridge and another col ored man, named Mitchell, got into a row at Rural Hall, Forsyth county, Wednesday when the latter struck the former witta.a rock, inflicting a wound which resulted in Eldridge's death. There was a woman in the case. The bluebirds are chirping now, and the mockingbirds sing all night long. Spring is here, indeed, and there are a good many fine frills to her dresses. Since the failure of fusion But ler and Prilchard have decided to play lone hands. The Washington correspondent of the News aud Observer sends the following brief interviews with the fusion Sena tors : "Now that the Populists and Republi cans have failed to fuse, what is your plan ?" was the question I asked Senator Butler and Senator Prilchard separately to day. Senator Prilchard replied: "The Re publicans will just go along as if nothing had happened." When asked to defiue the meaning of this, he said he believed that fusion would take place in the counties practi cally as it had dono before, and be had no fear of not being returned to the Senate, nor did ho have auy idea of ruu niug for Governor. Senator Prilchard said that "nine tenths of the couuties wanted to co operate and they know what they are talking about and Mr. But ler can't deliver them to the Democratic party." I called Mr. Pritchard's attention to a statement made to me by Senator Butler, namely, that "every proposition adopted by ihe Populist committee had beeu adopted unanimously." Mr. I'litch ard said that was strange because Skin ner had told him that the proposition of the Republicans had been rejected by only one majority in the Populist com mittee. Mr. Butler asked me to make the statement given above formally and in the exact words used. In answer to the question what was his plan, Mr. Butler said that there were 70,000 (The Pro gressive Farmer claims 150,000, How is that, Mr. Butler? Ed. News.) Pop ulists in North Carolina, if there were one, and they proposed to stand to gether and fight it out alone until No vember, unlcas some one came to help them. I asked him did he think the Democrats would give up their name lo joiu the Populists. He said people were going to vote for silver in North Car lina this year irrespective of names. He said he would be unwilling lo endorse any silver man put up at Chicago, because such silver man could only be nominated with the connivance ami consent of the gold loni who would thus connive for the purpose of ilhl.iing and thus defeating the silv. r forces. He said he thought, how vcr, the gold men would wiuk at a iiver mail being put up, it being, as they thought, a sure way of beating the silver man." ADVERTISEMENTS.

Five years ago my little boy was sudden ly seized with a severe lameness, appar ently in his right knee, which Borne phy sirians said won rheumatism, while others said it was hip disease and that it was Incurable During the next winter and spring he became rapidly worse. We took Jimmie toaspccialist,whoHaidit was hipdiscase. At this time the affliction became so severe that we could not move him with out causing screams of nguny. He le canie reduced in weight to 3-1 pounds, and was hut a shadow of his former self. We had about given up hope when we read of a cure by Hood's Sarsaj ariiln of a similar case. We resolved to try this medicine. Jimmie was decidedly improved after taking the ilrst bottle. He was even ettes" after the second.
