SETTLED AFTER FOUR HUNDRED
YEARS. '
The boundary dispute on the
line dividing Brittish Guiana

and Venezuela has at last been
settled. I
Chairman Martens on deliver-
ing the decision said the conten-

dred years. ' ,

The arbitration committee has
'been sittmg in Paris. The de-
cision was unanimously reached
and was promulgated on the 3rd
mst. Hjx-Fresident Harrison
was attorney for Venezuela. The
Venezuelan representatives, it
feeems, feel some chagrin and
the EDglieh representatives an
eaual amount of elation.

mouth of the Orinoco river and
the gold fields..
' It will be remembered that
Presides -Cleveland, applying
tV.p Alnnroe Doctrine, defended
Venezuela and demanded of
Great Britian that all the terri
tory in dispute be open to the
decision of the arbitration.
Great Britian seemed to grab a
good pari of the territory and
agreed to submit the rest to
arbitration.
After exhausting every effort,
the president sent a message to
Congress that looked like war
befween Great Britian and the
United States. The principle
as too great for the president
to yield and Great Britian could
hot afford to go to war with her
best neighbor and patron on
account of the little strip of land
in dispute. 'So the president's

ROBBING THE RAILROADS
The Durham Herald notes that
tKore are damage 'suits on the
Durham Superior Court? docket
for, 104, 999, 98, : for prosecution
against raileoads. The Herald
says that while some of the suits
are frivolous, it does not mean
that t damages will not be
awarded. The Herald thinks the
railroads recieve injustice in this
matter.
The - ; States ville Landmark
very forcibly adds : -
''The fact is tKat railroad
damagev suits in JNorth Carolina
have reached the point where
their ridiculousness and unfair
ness are manifest to all right
thinking people. We do not
mean to say that there are not
cases in which the railroads
should be compelled to pay dam
ages. There -are instances in
which 'they are clearly liable
and should be nunished f or nesr
ligence. . But every fair-minded
XT 7
man who has given; this matter
any attention knows that many
of the damage suits brought
against railroads, probably a
great majority of the suits, are
absolutely unfair and unjust, and
in hundreds of instances the
, ttr , , '
and compelled to pay
damages, when as a matter of
right and justiCe they are in no
wjse liable.
We can refer . to this matter J
with absolute freedom, because
The Landmark is under no obli
gation whatever to the railroads.
We carry no railroad pass and
we receive no railroad money,
directly or indirectly, for any
purpose whatsoever: but our
J. - .
ideas of honesty and, justice com
pel us to say that, in our opin
ion, a large number, .: if not a
majority, of the damage suits
brought against the railroads in
North Carolina amount to little
hess than highway robbery
Tnougn well aware tnat many
readers will not assent we quote
with endorsement the following
clipped from the speech of

atber Ride a Cow Than Milk a Bicycle.'
A fafrher: went into Messrs.
Mitchell '& Co?s , bicycle store
and asked for a grass blade.
After being informed by Mr
Mitchell that he did hot deal in
farming implements, Ke proposed
to sell the farmer a bicycle.
When told the price of it, the
farmer said he had rather invest
that amount in a crood cow.
"But," said Mr. Mitchell, "how
foolish you would look Tiding
over the country on the back of
a cow." "Not o foolish," re
plied the farmer, '?as I'd look

A'MOTEER TELLS HOW SHE
SAVED DAUGHTERS LIFE.
I am the mother of eight child
ren and have had a great deal ' of
experience with medicines. Last
summer my little .daughter had
tbe r dysentery m its worst form.
We thought she would die." I
tried everything I could think of.
I saw by an advertisement'- in our
paper that Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
was highly recommended and
sent and got a bottle at once. It
proved to be one of the very' best
medicines we ever had in the
house. It saved my little daught
er's life. I am anxious for every
mother to know what an excellent
medicine it is. Had I known it at
first it would have saved me a
great deal of anxietv and my
little daughter much cutTering.-
