WILL BEAR PATIENT DELIBERATION.
'Wayne McVeagh, the attor
ney for Capt. O M Carter, says
with reference to the finding of
the court martial against his
'Client-that, ' 'a record so saturated
-with, errors of law is impossible
in a country governed by law to
-afiirm findings." But few of us
liave , the data from which to
form a conclusion save from the
ihe general principle that the
court martial heard the evidence
and so found. We heard a dis
criminating lawyer who read the
vidnce closely say that not
withstanding the finding of the
court he always regarded Capt.
Carter as innocent.
With the Dreyfus case fresh
ton our minds we think it well
enr-:gh to suspend judgement
and taot feel too much outraged
that the findings are not
out due care.
y Will Buy American Stock.
British agents at New Orleans
are authorized to buy American
mules.; The number could not
be learned .. but the . St,:. Loiiis
market anticipates a supply of
from 3,000 to 5,000 i on , the first
order. No explanation looks so
plausible as that Great Britian
expects war in the Transvaal."
A Chicago r dispatch of the
27th says a rush order was re
ceived by a firm of horse dealers
there to purchase all th1 e horses
they can get weighing 1,200
pounds. ...... ; i
Dr. Grissom Insane. 1
The Raleigh correspondent to
the Charlotte Observer says that
Dr. Eugene Grissom is an in
mate of a Cqlarado asylum. H
is now recalled that when his
troubles arose lii our State and
he was ousted from the super -intendency
of the insane asylum
some claimed that he was
not sane at the time.

day clipped from tM Monroe
"Enquirer and is probably the
effusion of Brother Ashcraft
who doubtless speaks whereof
lie knows. Our chief incentive,
however, comes from a reply
promised us next week by one of
our wittiest correspondents.
Dewey is a genius of war
"but he is a genius of discern
ment and discrimination who can
seramlft thfi truft from thfi false
interviews with him.
Duiing the ciyil war, as well as
in our late war with Spain, diar
rhoea was one of the most
troublesome diseases the army
had to contend with. In many
instances it became chronic and
the old soldiers still suffer from
it. Mr. Dayid Taylor, of Wind
Ridge, Greene county, Pa., is one
of these. He uses Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy and says he never found
anything that would give him
such quick relief. It is for sale

Child Dies of Hydrophobia.
Dollie May Landreth, an 18-
month's old child, died in Ashe-
ville Thursday afternoon of
what is believed to have been
a genuine case of hydrophobia.
About a month ago while play
ing in the hall she fell down and
screamed when a bull dog sprang
on her and. bit her fearfully.
Hydrophobia was not I suspected
untii the child's symptons were
far advanced. She died amid
the most distressing convulsions.
You assume no risk when you
buy Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. M. L.
Marsh & Co. , will refund your
money if you" are not satisfied
after using it. It is everywhere
admitted to be the most success
ful remedy in use for bowel com
plaints and; the only one that
never fails. It is pleasant, safe
and reliable. ,

Invention For Dimming Flectric Lights.

William Bonner has invented a
a means of dimming electric
lights at will. A very costly way
has been found before but this
promises to be n, perfect success
and quite profitable to

Under the Apple Blossoms. .
v"H6w sweet, how pure they
are," she said, breathing the
f ragrance of the : apple blossoms
oh the branch he bent down to
her. - - . ; -
"Like your like a maiden's
love, '' he added, with designed
sentimentality.
"And how quickly they wither
and come to "naught another
similarity, " she said, with malice
aforethought, y .
' "Or turn hard and sour and
fill us with pain and anguish, if,
like silly little boys, we think we
like them, " he amended, grimly,
aware of hr object. -
For half a second she looked
into his scowling eyes with 're
lenting twinkle growing in her
own. : ' ' '7

tience they grow sweet and
wholesome again; and and de
licious for domestic uses pies,
for instance," she whispered, be
tween a laugh and a sigh. , X
The scowl turned into a be
wildered l stare. ."Then heaven
sent him a spark of intelligence.

seizing her hands, "Mabel, I
adore apple jpies."
'And and, Jack, I make very
good ones," she murmered, de

New York Is Painted Red.
New York had the grandest
naval parade today according
to program 'that America ever
saw. The procession was esti
mated to be ; nine miles long,
though Hhe most important
vessels were flanked by lighter
craft. Tlio naval pageant pro
ceeded with the piympia in the
lead up1 the North River and
turned around a steak boat, then
took position fronting the
mosoleum of Gen. Grant where
a salute was fired. It is esti
mated that a half million spec
tators witnessed the imposing
scene. Rear Admiral Sampson
on the New York took second
place by the courtesy of Rear
Admiral Howison. The bunting
u sed for d ecor ation in the great
city might be counted in miles
rather than yards and it is esti
mated that New York has a mil
lion visitors to participate in the
ceremonies of reception.
