Roanoke Rapids. Jan. 20. Some time asro there was an effort put for ward to organize a building and loan oconnintinn and considerable stock was subscribed. The holidays came on and the work of organization came to a standstill. Now that the holiday season has passed the agitation of the question has resumed somewhat, and it is hoped that soon Roanoke Rapids will have a real live building and loan association. ' It is said thats mallpox i3 raging in some sections of the county, es pecially in the lower end. One phy sician below Scotland Neck reported more than 100 cases examined in one day recently, so rumor says. In the Enfield section it is said the disease is creating some alarm. Necessary precautions are being resorted to, but some say since the authorities cannot enforce vaccination, the disease is dif ficult to handle. This immediate com munity has had no cases reported yet and it is hoped none will develop. The members of the Baptist church "severely pounded" their pastor, Rev. Jesse Blalock, some : evenings ago. Quite a large lot of good things were presented the minister by the admir ing congregation which he received .as gracefully as the occasion permit ted. '' A representative of the Beaver Company, of Buffalo, N. Y., came some days ago and is going over the situation with the officials of the local Beaver board mills. What they pro pose to do in regard to resuming op erations has not been made public, and the people generally know noth ing of the causes that prompted the close down last week. It is certain that it is not because of any financial troubles, the the Beaver Company is one of the country's strongest insti tutions. Aged Man Tells How He Killed His Wife. Philadelphia, Jan. 20. Tottering under the weight of his 80 years, William Eberwein stood in criminal court here today and told of his wife, 15 years younger, having pleaded with him to kill her and how he committed the deed. Judge Walling fixed the crime at murder in the second de gree and imposed the minimum penal ty, solitary confinement for not less than seven years or more than 14. Eberwein, who is a veteran of the war between the states, told the court that his wife was an invalid and that one day last October he came into their home and found her lying at the bottom of a stairway, down which she had fallen. He offered to have her sent to a hospital, but she would not SO. ;: . '"You do it .William,' " Eberwein alleged she said. "'Do what?' I said," the prisoner continued. "'End it for me. It is no sin when I'm suffering so.' "I had a board in my hand that I had brought in out of the yard. I lool:ed at her and guessed it would not be a sin.' '"Go William, she said; 'go on.' "I tapped her on the head with the board and I tapped her again. She didn't moan much, and once when I stopped she kind o' Whispered, 'Go on, it won't be long.' "So I kept on tapping and she got quiet." ' WOMEN BEST MARCHERS MEXICAN HORDE. IN Wives Give Up Seats on Burros to Men on Way to Marfa Baby Born on the Road. Marfa, Texa., Jan. 18. Footsore ragged, almost famished from their three days' march on foot for sixty seven miles over a wind-swept moun tain road, the. 3,300 Mexican Federal soldiers and generals routed from Oji naga, Mexico, by the rebels, with 1,067 women and about 300 children and infants, arrived today within few miles of Marfa, whence they are to be trnsported by train to Fort Bliss at El Paso. The rajrged remnana of the Huerta army, which sought asylum in this country rather than face possible ex termination by the rebels, on Tuesday will be formally Interned at Fort BIIsb ai wards of tho Government. They are to be held there ..indefinitely on the footing of prisoners of war. It will be the first time the AmerK can army has been i u..n ter, feed i d clothe u.i. o ..u of afr.reign t mi; wn i 1 disarmed ger.erals. N ., f tho e i which.

Besides General Mercado and mi ling with the United States calvmy men who acted as guards were iht Federal Generals Castro, Aduiia, l.un da. Orpinal and Romero, all of them shorn of their swords, but some of them still retaining on their uniforms the bits of gold braid which had bee ; torn off or worn away in the flight from Ojinaga. The picturesque march afoot through American territory of so many foreign soldiers and women with their baggage abounded with incident. The birth of a child, the death of several wounded soldiers, the search for. water in the desert, the constant straggling away from the line of the march and the rounding up aga'.n of scores of refugees were some of the difficulties which the United States cavalrymen, commanded by Major McNamee, had to contend. The Mexicans, guarded virtually as prisoners, outnumbered the escorting American soldiers ten to one. Viewed from a hill top the on-coming army as it zig-zagged through the mountain passes and reached back ward into the dusty distance ten miles away, was a picture of exhaustion, although the prospect of soon reach ing the railway and ample supplies of rtions seemed to revive fresh courage Since they were routed from Oji naga by General Villa's rebel forces and compelled to cross the border into the United States at Presidio, Tex., eight days ago, the Mexican soldiers have had only scant food supplies. Their march of sixty-seven miles to the nearest railway station after they had been disarmed and held prisoners by the American troops was made possible by the establishment of the three camps provided en route. But these camps were supplied with limited rations, because all foodstuffs and water had to be carried by wag on from Marfa. Many of the foreign ers were poorly clad and , without blankets, so that their suffering at night was intense. Hence the hope ful look that apepared in the faces of the dirt-begrimed men and women when they were told that the march was almost over. It was particulaly remarked by the American officers that of . all the marchers the Mexican women were the best. There were instances of women who yielded their places on horseback or burros to men who found themselves tired out with the walk. This confirmed the prediction of General Mercado that the women would in no way impede the march of the column, as they were all hardy, accustomed to an outdoor life and capable of enduring as much fatigue as the men. The marching column was stretch ed over a great distance to prevent confusion and to reduce as much as possible the suffering from the dust that rose in great clouds from the well traveled road. All semblance of he uniform ranks of any army was gone., it was a curious mingling of people and animals, and in places the women', with their red dresses and 'hawls gave a touch of brilliant color j to the scene. Wherever there was pace in the line or between a horse's leg3 there was almost sure to be a mongrel dog determined to follow its master, wherever he went. ' A little group of women by the road-side, formed by the permission of those in charge, attested the birth of a child. . The old women who attended, an ncunced that a little girl had joined the procession, and the news traveled down , the entire line, arousing a fire of conversation. A rooster, saved ty a doting master from the wreck of Ojinaga, crowed his triumph from the back of a burro to which he was care fully attached with a leather string, A little boy sang in a low tone a wild lr, half Spanish and half savage, and the music loving natives crowded clos er to encourage him with loud ap plause. The procession passed a rude cross stuck in the middle of a little pile of stones. It marked the spot where a man bad been killed. Many crossed Ui'.mselves at sie-r: of the emblem Children perched on the top of bur ros that were almost covered by their burdens of domestic property, laughed and beat the animals with s.icki. The men who had tobacco dexterously rolled straw paper cigarettes as they . radfred along;. Now and then some cue staggered to the road side and T ! i:. who rc: a rest. a o to-night '.Vis nrd i.i- inns who had been through the battle;. and who had endured exposure, hu'- ger and misery, and who had turned - their backs on their own country, look-;!;.' ed forward hopefully to life in a new ; and strange land. . - v .

It may not indicate or ganic disease of the lungs. Even though the cough Is a functional dis turbance it Is of sufficient gravity to demand prompt attention. The dropping of mucus from the back part of the nose into the throat Indicates nasal catarrh. Sometimes this roes on a long 'time before the patient pays any attention to it. It la stated on good authority that mu cus dropping Into the throat In this -way in apt to excite catarrh of the stomach. At any rate, the condition ought to be corrected as soon as pos sible. ' Mrs. Bourland. of Frankston, Texas, found after using Peruna that not only did the incessant cough disap pear, but the dropping of mucus into, the throat , had also ceased. Read -wh-t ahe says: "For 'twenty-three years I was a constant sufferer from chronic ca tarrh. I had a severe misery and burning In the top of my head. There was almost a continual dropping of mucus Into my throat, which caused frequent . expectoration. My entire system gradually became involved, and my condition grew worse. I bad an Incessant cough and frequent at tacks of bilious colic, from which it Beemed I could not recover. My bowels also became affected, causing alarming attacks of hemorrhages.
