Tit AT DEBT. .
It is a Htball one. to be sure,
and apparently not worth seri
ous thought, why not pay It?
Why be compelled o suffer the
mortification of a dun? Why not
take that little thorn outof your
finger at once? It will fester if al
lowed to remain and cause half
the trouble. Why not relieve the
conscience of that little load? .
You contracted the debt know
ingly and willingly. Did you
mean to pay it? Certainly you
did, then why not do it at once?
Every day's delay increases mor
ally the amount of your obliga
tion. Remember, too that your
Tittle debt and another man's lit
tle debt and a thousand other
men's little debts, make a little
fortune for your creditors Ex.
An announcement that will
prove interesting to the medical
profession generally and to the
people of all sections of the state
has just been made by the health
department at Raleigh, to t h e
effect that hereafter rabies will be
treated at Raleigh after the Pas
teur method; and that the State
will offer this freatment to pa
tients at actual cost.
The News and Observer says
that Dr. C. A. Shore, State biol
ogint, has equipped the State
Laboratory of Hygiene and now
has it ready for the treatment of
patients who have been bitten by
mad idogs. He is prepared to
make a diagnosis ol rabies from
the brain of the animals and will
treat the patient who has been
bitten, with an assurance of re
covery if the victim ot the bite is
brought to the laboratory be
fore the disease! has developed.

t. The Morally Stunted will take
notice that snakes are more bold
and dangerous since the advent
of prohibition, just as they pre
dicted. In Charlotte a few days
ago a snake bit a colored man
and it was so long before any pf
the remedy could be found that
the victim came near cashing in.
And in Raleigh this week a'small
boy, walking peacably along the
street was attacked and bit by a
snake. No mention is made as to
the remedy in this case, but the
fact that the snakes are going
boldly into the towns, in the
busy haunts of men, to attack
people is evidence that the de
scendants of that serpent which
first deceived our Grandmother
Eve are as wise as theirgreat an
restor, and they are taking nd
vantage ol the scarcity of the an
xidote against tneir poison.

William Jennings Bryan, of

as tne democratic party could
have entered for the presidential
race. It possesses the merit some
what unusual in recent elections,
that the candidate for the vice
presidency has the confidence of
his party so fully that no appre

campaign and go back also on
