Neuralgia, Sprains,
;Pain in the Back and Side.
t There Is nothing more painful than these
diseases; but the pain can be removed and
the disease cored by use of Perry Davis'
Pain Killer.
This remedy Is not a cheap Benzine
or Petroleum product that must be kept
away from Are or heat to avoid danger
of explosion, nor ia It an untried experi
ment that may do more harm than good.
Pain Killer has been in constant use
lor forty years, and the universal testimony
from all parts of the world is, It never
falls. It not only effects a permanent cure,
but It relieves pain almost Instantaneously.
Being a purely vegetable remedy, It Is safe
lh the hands of the most Inexperienced.
The record of cures by the use of Pad
Eilleb would fill volumes. The following
extracts from letters received show what
those who have tried it think:
Edgar Cady, Owatonna, Minn., says :
About a year since my wife became subject
to severe suffering from rheumatism. Our
resort was to the f-iXK Kn.UK, which speedily
relieved her.
Charles Powell writes from the Sailors'
Borne, London :
I had ben afflicted three years with neuralgia
apdjiolent spasms of the stomach. The doctors
at Westminster Hospital gave tip my case in
despair. 1 tried yourPjajf Killib, and it (rave
rne immediate relief. I have regained my
strength, and am now able to follow my usual
occupation.
O. H. Walworth, Saco, Me., writes :
I experienced immediate relief from pain in
the side by the use of your Path Ktt.T.ya,
E. York says:
I have used yottrPAtw Kim-eh for rheumatism,
and have received great benefit
Barton Seaman says :
Have used Pain Eillh for thirty years,

rheumatism and lameness.
Mr. Burditt writes :

Phil. Gilbert, Somerset, Pa., writes :

THE RAIL, ROAD TVAR,
Gov, Jarvia Answer Senator Vance
A Reply to Senator Vance's Address
f o the People, of October 2, 1881
Balelgh News Observer.
state of nobth carolina.
Executive Depabtment,
Raleigh, Dec. 3, 1881.
Capt. 8. JL Ashe, Editor Netos and Ob
server:
Dear Sir: The following paper was
prepared to bespread upon therecords of
trie commissioners at tneir meeting tne
10th of November. It was read by Com
missioner Vance, and for reasons deem
ed sufficient it was not put on the re
cord, I now beg that you will publish it
with this note. Truly, yours,
Thos. J. Jabyis.
My conduct as a commissioner of the
Western North Carolina Railroad hav
ing been misrepresented and unjustly
criticised by. one of my associate com
missioners and by the assignees and
their supporters, I deem it a duty I owe
to myself and to the trust I have had
in charge to place upon record the facts
in the case, as I understand them, and
the misrepresentations that have form
ed the basis of these criticisms.
Although Commissioner Vance and
myself have not been in entire accord
in every particular in our action as
commissioners of the Western North
CarolinaRailroad,yet I havenotquestien
his motives or criticised his course or
permitted any one else to do so in my
presence. I know he has discharged
this duty, as he does every other public
trust, as he believed in the best inter
est of the State. But while I concede
to him this perfect integrity, I claim
for myself the same honesty of pur
pose, and I deeply regret that I nave
not enjoyed the same measure of ex
emption from criticism by him.
The strictures by-Commissioner Vance
of which I complain are contained in
the three extracts which I shall make
from his recent address to the people.
The statements made by him in these
extracts, so far as they refer to me, are,
to say the least, inaccurate, as 1 think 1
will be able to conclusively show. Not
supposing the commissioner, intended
to misstate tne tacts, l would nave paid
no attention to them had not infer
ences ana conclusions oeen arawn
from these misstatements prejudicial
and unjust to me. In fact, the com
missioner himself, assuming these mis
statements to be true, expresses his as
tonishment at my course.
The first extract 1 wisn to make re
fers to my action on the question of ex
tension, and is the following, to-wit:
"Although l invited a suspension or
action on the part of the other commis
sioners, and promised to explain to them
in full the reasons for my course, this
was not accorded me.
The show the inaccuracy of this state
ment of the commissioner, I quote his
own letter:
Washington, May 12, 1881.
Governor T. J. J arcis :
My Dear Sir: Circumstances com
ing to my knowledge since our meet
ing in Raleigh induce me to withdraw
my consent to the extension or time
asked for by A. B. Andrews, president.
No legal application by the assignees
has yet been presented, as Andrews
promised, and I have reason to believe
there will not be soon. I will explain
fully when I see you. Meanwhile please
notify Andrews that I do not hold my
self responsible any longer to accept
the proposition, when made. He ought
to know at once.
1 will be at home early next week
and can go over the work with you.
Yours, truly,
(Signed) Z. B. Vance.
This is the only letter or message of
any kind I received from him on this
subject, and there is not the slightest
request or invitation in it for "a sus
pension of action on my part." On the
the contrary, the letter left me com
pletely in the dark and entirely at lib
erty to take the course I should deem
best under the circumstances.
The second quotation I make is upon
the same subject, and has in it a simi
lar inaccuracy. The commission says:
"I quote the following letter to Gov.
jar via in answer u uisui iuo ioiu ui
May, in which he implied that he would
wait and hear my explanation." My
letter referred to is as follows:
Raleigh, N. C, May 13, 1881.
Hon. Z. B. Vance:
My Dear Sir: I am just in receipt
of yours of the 12th inst, and have in
formed Col. Andrews of its contents,
and given him the notice requested.
On Monday, the 9th instant, Col. An
drews presented me with the paper pre
pared strictly as agreed upon with all
the suggested amendments, made and
signed by Messrs. W. P. Clyde, A. S.
Buford and T. M. Logan, assignees. He
wished to have it presented to each of
the commissioners at once, but t told
him to wait till we met to examine the
work, as that was our understanding.
He will so present the paper when we
can be got together. r
I have been recently very much en
couraged with the belief that the pres
ent owners are abont to begin, work in
earnest on both liqes of the road, and I
shall regret to learn that you have in
your possession any facts to prove that
they do not so intend to act.
If it shall turn out that I am right as
to their purposes, I trust that no ques
tion of reasonable time shall prevent
their going on with the work. If, on the
other hand, it shall turn out that I am
decefved and that they do not intend to
work on the Ducktown line, you will
find me ready to do my full duty in. the
matter.
I am determined, aa far- as in me her,
to-havethis road completed without
further costs or. trouble to the State,
and I believe by proper management it
can be done. To declare the contract
forfeited throws the road back upon
the State, a thing I shall be slow to do
as long as there is any reasonable pros
pect of the work being done in any
reasonable time.
I am, truly yours,
(Signed) Thos. S. Jabyis.
This is the only communication of
any kind the commissioner . had from
me, and in this I submit there is hot the
slightest intimation that I would wait
and hear his explanation. The fact is,
I did not know he wanted me to wait,
and, therefore, could not have intimat
ed a purpose to do so. I think if there
is any intimation of my purpose in my
letter, it is that I felt my pn ? esponsi
bility in ttie matter, and then I intend
ed to meet it in niy own way.4 I told
him it was either to ? declare the cbc
tract forfeited, and throw the road back
upon the State, or to extend tfte time.
On these alternate p?oposittoiB3 1 think
I gaye o uncertain, sound. Said' I to
biQtt'4 aiB (tetenninedt as far as - In me
lies, to have this roafl conipleted ; with
out further costs of trouble to the State j
and J believe by proper management it
Jan be done, To declare the contract
orfeited throws theroad ; back opon
the State, a thing I shall be How4 to. do
as long as there Is any reasonable pros
pect of the work3 being: done in any
reasonable time. Now, might I not well
say, judge of my astonishment when I
saw that the commissioner had stated
that he had invited me to suspend ac
tion till I could hear him, andtnat,-X
had intimated I would do so? But, to
enable one fully, to understand my ac
tion upon the question of extending the
time in which the assignees were to
complete the road to Paint Rock and
Pigeon River and to completely acquit
myself of thexmjuqt reflections made
by the commissioner upon this action,!
will give the facts in the case.
. At the meeting of the commissioners,
held in Raleigh on the 30th of April, an
agreement was "entered "into between
the commissioners on the one side and
Col. Andrews, representing the assign
ees, on the.other. The agreement was
to the effect that if the assignees would
reform their application for an exten
sion of time by inserting certain prom
ises in it, which have been heretofore
published, and the assignees themselves
sign it, the commissioners would give
the assignees a four months' extension.
The suggested amendments were hand
ed Col. Andrews, and then, at his re
quest, the exact form in which the ex
tension was to be jdrawn up was dis
cussed and agreed upon- It was then
written out by meread ever and agreed
to by all the commissioners. This pa
per, not signed, was delivered to him in
the presence -of all the commissioners
and with their approval. It was then
agreed that the commissioners would
go over the road on the 16th of May. I
had. to go to Spartanburg on the nth,
and could not go. before, and Commis
sioner Vance had to return to Wash
ington, but felt Certain he could get
away by that time. On the 9th of May,
Col. Andrews, as before stated, handed
me the new application, reformed
strictly as agreed-upon. I told him to
hold it till we met on the 16tb, and we
would then sign the extension as agreed
upon. This was entirely satisfactory
to him. He did not question that the
commissioners would keep their prom
ise, but remarked to me that he would
go en with his preparations to let the
work to contract on the 18th, as adver
tised, and that he hoped to be able to do
so while the commissioners were up
there. - On the 13th, I received Com
missioner Vance's letter, requesting me
to notify Col. Andrews of his with
drawal. This I at once did by a written
notice, and in that very notice I pledged
myself to stand by my promise; and it
was to this written pledge I referred in
my letter to Commissioner Worth, and
it was to this, I presume, Mr. Badger
referred when he told Commissioner
Worth that I had already signed the
extension.. As soon as Col. Aadrews
got the notice of Commissioner Vance's
withdrawal, he came to see me and
asked me what it meant. I told him I
did not know, that the letter of the
commissioner left me completely in the
dark. He then asked me what he had
better do. I told him to go on with the
work, that I had no doubt it would all
be made right when the commissioners
met. He replied that he could not
afford to enter into new contracts which
required the expenditure of large sums
of money upon such uncertainty ; that
he must know absolutely before the
18th that the extension would be signed
or he would be compelled to abandon
letting the work to contract. I still
urged him to go on and that it would
all be right. He replied that until the
action of Commissioner Vance the ver
bal promise of the commissioners was
sufficient, but now the extension must
be in writing before he could spend
money on the faith of it. I replied that
he already had my agreement to the ex
tension in writing. "That is only one,"
said he; "I must have two before I can
know I am safe." He then asked me
to telegraph Commissioner Worth to
come to Raleigh at once. This I de
clined to do. He urged me to do so on
the ground that the commissioner
would come on my telegram, but not
on his, and offered to pay all the expen
ses of the telegram and of the messen
ger from High Point.' I still declined.
He then said there was nothing left
for him to do but to go or send a mes
senger to Commissioner Worth at his
home in Ranolph. I replied promptly
that was exactly what I would do, were
I in his place. His final determination
to send a messenger to Commissioner
Worth was not reached until about
night on Saturday, long after the pas
senger train had left. After he conclud
ed to send a messenger, he asked me
to write a letter to Commissioner
Worth. This I readily did and wrote
the letter which Commissioner Vance
denominated "urgent," and which h,as
already been published. In that letter
I told Commissioner Worth of Commis
sioner Vance's withdrawal and of my
idea of the situation, to-wit, that he
and I had to take the responsibility to
extend the time or to stop the work.
On the return of the messenger on
Monday, the 16th, at Col. Andrew's re
quest, I drew out my consent to the ex
tension more formally than I had done
in my note to him on the 13th. In thus
detailing what took place between Col.
Andrews and, myself, I have only at?
tempted to give the substance. We
were together on Friday, and several
times on Saturday and talked much
about the matter. The situation gave
us both much concern. He was anx
ious about the extension and I about
the work on the road, which I feared
was about to be stopped. I could not
Conjecture what the circumstances
were that had come to Commissioner
Vance's knowledge. I remembered
that in our April meeting the commis
sioner had expressed the belief that the
assignees did not in good faith, intend
to work on the Ducktpwn Jioe, while I
expressed the heiief ' that they did. I
wondered if were possible that any
facta had reeently come to his knowl
edge to'strengthen him in that belief.
Such thoughts as these were running
through my mind, as any one can see,
when I wrote my letter to him. On the
other hand, Col. Andrews gave me the
most positive assurances that he. did in
tend to push the work on the Duck
town line as soon as the extension was
a fixed fact. I believed him. It was
important to him to have this question
settled at one, and when lis pro
posed to send a messenger to
Commissioner Worth I encouraged him
in it. I not only felt .bound by my
agreement of the 30th of April, but I
felt to break up .that agreement was
likely to lead to a stoppage of the work
on the road. Entertaining these views
and feeiing this necessity of sl prompt
decision, I could not have suspended
action on my part even if Commission
er Vance's letter had contained an in
vitation to me to do so." When the Best
contract was made I had high hopes of
seeing both lines of the western road
completed, and notwithstanding one of
the leading journals of the State de
nounced any man as an idiot who be
lieved that a spadeful of dirt would
ever be thrown on the Ducktown line,
yet I have believed that the -contract
was such as to insure the completion of
both lines, v It is true that work under
this contract had been too long delayed,
but it wag then, in my opinion, about to
be begun in good earnest. Impressed
with these beliefs and inspired bj these
hopes I could not let the wishes of any
man, however much I esteemed him, in
fluence me to do anything that tended
to longer hinder or delay ; this work.
Hence I did not hesitate to sign the ex
tension.' i r ' . ' v T t r " 1
