A Good Indication.
Charlotte Observer : If the pat
ronage of excursions and circuses
and the attendance upon schools
afford any test of the financial con
dition of a people, surely ours ar -not
as poor as some would have us
believe. There were never as many
excursions run in North Carolina in
any preyious season as were last
summer and nearly all were largely
patronized. The circuses in the
State this fall have 'drawn great
crowds and the schools never opened
with as many pupils on their rolls.
People will give up money for
pleasure which thej will not sur
render for more, important things,
and the school attendance is, we
believe, accounted the best guage of
the prosperity of a people. Judged
i by this standard and leaving the
others out. of consideration, North
Carolina was never so prosperous
before.

An Organized Oitiicr of Tbieves.
Ha leiqh, N. O., Nov. 1. A day
or two ago a quantity of corn was
stolen from a mill in Orange county
and pursuit of the thieves was made.
This has resulted in the startling
discovery that Jaryis Williamson, a
white man of that county, who posed
a3 an earnest church member, was
the head of an organized gang of
thieves, the operation, of which he
had conducted for fifteen years. All
the other members of the gang are
negroes, and Williamson and Beren
of them are in jail at iiillsboio.

of Ayer's Pills, with the most satisfac

attack that did not readily yield to this
remedy. My wife, who had been an
Invalid for years, also began to use
Ayer's Pills, and her health was quickly
restored. With my children I had no

preceded by constipation, and I soon
had the pleasure of knowing that with
children as with parents, Ayer's Pills,
