Pain in the Back and Side. i There is nothing more painful than these diseases; but the pain can be removed and the disease cured by use of Perry Davis' Pain Killer. This remedy Is not a cheap Benzine or Petroleum product that must be kept away from nro or heat to avoid danger of explosion, nor is it an untried experi ment that may do more harm than good. Pain Killer has been In constant use for forty years, and the universal testimony from all parts of the world Is, It never f ai Is. It not only effects a permanent cure, but it relieves pain almost Instantaneously. Being a purely vegetable remedy, it is safe In the hands of the most inexperienced. The record of cures by the use of Pain Killer 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 Pain KiLLxa, which speedily relieved her. Charles Powell writes from the Sailors' Home, London : I had been afflicted three years with neuralgia and violent spasms of the stomach. The doctors at Westminster Hospital gave up my case in despair. I tried your Pain Kilub, and it gave me immediate relief. I have regained my strength, and am now able to follow my usual occupation. G. H. Walworth, Saco, Me. , writes : . I experienced immediate relief from pain in the side by the use of your Pain Kxr.T.gn, E. York says : I have used your Paut Killer for rheumatism, and have received great benefit. Barton Seaman says : Have used Pain Killeb for thirty years, and have found it a never -failing remedy for rheumatism and lameness. Mr. Burditt writes : J.t,n2tTait9j8iTe relief In cases of rheumatism. PhU. Gilbert, Somerset, Pa., writes : From actual use, I know your Pain Killeb 1b the best medicine I can get. All druggists keep Pain Killer. Its price Is so low that It Is within the reach of all, and It will save many times its cost In doctors' bills. 5c, 50c. and $1.00 a bottle.

I see in your paper of a recent date a report of the proceedings of a meeting of tbe citizens of Chatham county at which certain resolutions were passed con demning my action as one of the com missioners of the Western North Caro lina Railroad. I recognize the right of the citizen to criticise, and, if he chooses, to condemn the conduct of his servant. This right is a part of the foundation upon which our system of government rests, and its exercise must never be denied or abridged. It is also essential that time shall never come when it will be con sidered indelicate or improper in a pub lic officer to respectfully show the peo- le. if he can, that they have been mis- ed by the information upon which they acted. The truth is what the people want, and this they will, sooner or later have. The sooner they get it, the bet ter. Give them this, and they never err in their judgment. Sometimes they go astray because they act upon infor mation and statements which they be lieve to be true, but which are in fact false. In this way the people are often misled, but as sure as day follows night truth will light up their pathway and they will ultimately reach correct con clusions and form infallible judgments. All this I verily believe, and believing it, I have never "been afraid to submit any question, in which I felt that truth was on my side, to the people. Nor am I afraid of the verdict of the people of Chatham on my conduct when they get all the facts the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth in the case. It is to furnish these facts upon which they may form their more ma tured judgment that I address you in this communication. It will, no doubt, be remembered that in the early winter of 1880, Mr. Best came to Raleigh to negotiate a pur chase of the Western North Carolina Railroad. He came with the pronounc ed assurance of his ability. He was an tagonized by a very strong and a very respectable sentiment in the State. The Mud Cut circular, conceived in a spirit of spite and issued in secresy, full of misrepresentations and mischief, created in the State a condition of things which made the future of the Western North Carolina Railroad very uncertain, to say the least of it. The proposition of Mr. Best to buy and complete the road without further cost to tbe State, coming right upon the heels of the Mud Cut boom, precipitated upon me a condition of things which required me to trust him. I was cau tioned in my ways not to do it. I felt that the best interest of the State re quired me to do it I did it. The road was sold to him. He then made a speech, and, like hi3 Pittsboro speech, it was taken down by his own short hand reporter. He told us that-in less than sixty days he would be at work, and felt that I had done well and that all was safe. Time wore on and noth ing was done by this "railroad builder," as he styled himself. On the 21st of May only eight days tefore the expiration of his sixty, he wrote me that his associ ates refused to organize and that he feared they meant no good to the State or himself and that he wished to sepa rate from them ; that he could find sev eral gentlemen in all respects more de sirable, and that, free to act, he was satisfied a few days would suffice to put him in position to pay the State its dis bursements and vigorously to begin work. This letter was sent all the way from New York by special messenger, and contained a request to myself and co-commissioners give our consent to his associates assigning their interests. We replied that we did not have the authority either to consent or object and that we refused to do either. They did, however, assign their interests, and it turned out afterwards that his new and more desirable associates were Messrs. Buford, Clyde and Logan. They became his new associates and furnish ed the money that saved the contract from failure and whatever conse quence that might have attended such failure. Mr. Best and his new associ ates soon quarreled. Whose fault it was I do not know. Their qnarrel still progresses. After Mr. Best and his new associates quarreled and separated, he came to me with his complaints, state ments and explanations. I positively declined to take any part in his quarrel one the one side or the other. The fight was transferred to tbe Legislature and etill I kept silent, although assailed and maligned day after day. So much for his first scheme ; now to the second. In 1872-73 a verv liberal charter was granted bv the Legislature of North Carolina to the Midland North Caro lina Railway Company. Sometime last fall (t think it was) Mr. Best got con trol of this charter. During the win ter he repeatedly told me it was his plan t6 lease the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad and to extend it to Salisbury. He said he was advised by the best of counsel that he" conld com pel, through the courts, a reconveyance of the Western-road, and that he would soon begin a suit for that purpose. The suhject aoout wnicn ne wisueu w imx. with me was the lease of the Atlantic road. I listened to him patiently, at tentively and respectfully. I did not say to him, as I might have done, "Mr. Best, 'a burnt child dreads the fire.' You came to me less than a year ago to buy the Western road, with the strong est assurance one man could give an other of your ability to do anything you promised. I trusted you, although warned not to do so. I even took the responsibility to call the Legislature together. You left me after the Legis lature acted, telling me you would soon be back in full force; that soon I would see car load after car load of picks, spades, shovels, wheelbarrows, powder, dynamite, drills, etc., etc., passing by Raleigh, soon to be followed by tons upon tons of steel rails, all on their way to the Western road, for you intended to bring them in at Morehead and take them up the Nortbi Carolina Railroad that the people of the State might see them. I looked for their coming; I listened for the- news" of their coming, and 1 looked and listened in vain. In stead of thatthe air was full of rumors, and day after day I was asked, When is he coming r My friends grew timid ; my enemies grew bold. I inquired, What is the matter T and you replied, All will be right.' Meanwhile the contract was executed and then we . all took fresh courage. You re turned at once to New York, leaving behind - you - the most positive assur ances at your, speedy, return, ready to comtrieace work hi good earnest. , Yoa did not come, but painful I rttmora of your failure did. ach day added .to the mb.arrasameot8 aa dayi after day passed and no Best, no implements, no rails; no money came. I asked some of iny friends and telegraphed to others to go to New York to see wnat was me trouble and to aid in removing It, if possible. They went and they found you, as they, told me, utterly broken down. You appealed to them for help and they responded, some in , one way and some ia another, geYeraJ thous and dollars in cash had to be raised at once to save the contract, and the float ing debt, amounting to $30,000 more, had to be paid off. Right there in that great city, the money centre of this continent, the city in which , you haye been able to command hundreds of dol lars by a few hours' labor,4 you appeal ed to those friends of mine to help you raise that sum. . Even in this crisis yon would not risk one dollar of your own money to fulfil your contract to the State and to redeem your promises to me. I was in great danger, the Wes tern Road in a critical condition, and the best interests of the State in peril, all because you failed to keep your promises. No, Mr. Best, I cannot trust you again ; "a burnt child dreads the fire." I say I might well have talked this way to him, and, had I consulted" my own inter ests," I would have done so. I did not do it because I did not think of my own interests. It was alone the inter est of the State to which I looked. I thought I saw in Mr. Best a man full of energy, of fine intelligence and an un conquerable will just such a man as would undertake great enterprises and do much for them, if he did not accom plish them. I was willing to trust: him a second time because his scheme look ed to the development of the State, and I felt it my duty to encourage it no matter what the risk to myself. Effort after effort was made to repeal his Mid land charter, but I stood by him and his charter, determined to give him another chance. The Legislature adjourned about the middle of March. Mr. Best left the city about that time. It may have been a short while before. I heard nothing more of his Midland scheme till the middle of May. On the 30th of April, when the extension was granted on certain conditions to be subsequently performed by the assignees of Mr. Best, it was not known to me that Mr. Best would ever be heard of again in this connection. Nor had I heard of his Boston syndicate when, on the 14th of May, I reaffimed my action as one of the commissioners of the 80th of April. I was first told of its successful organi zation by one of Mr. Best's attorneys on the 15th of May, and I then told him I had signed the extension. On the 25th day of May, Mr. Best and some of his Boston friends came to Raleigh and had a conference with the commission ers, and developed fully their Midland scheme. This was the first time that Mr. Best exhibited any ability to go forward with it. I was very favorably impressed with the gentlemen he had with him. I was asked if I would give their scheme my endorsement. After alluding to Mr. Best's former failure so delicately that it touched the sympathy of some of his friends, I told them I would. When asked if we would help them to get the Western road we told them the commissioners had no power to put them in possession of the road. They replied they knew that, and that it was our moral influence they were after. I told them they could have that as soon as I felt confident of their ability. There was much talk about what would satisfy us. The result of this talk was the mem orandum of the 25th of May. The Mid land project had my full sympathy then and it has it now. I would be false to myself, false to my record, false to my State, false to her people and to her best interest, did I withhold from such a scheme anything in my power to push it forward. No mis representations of Mr. Best or any of his new-born supporters could sting me into withholding from it any sup port that I can give it. I have done all for it that I could, and I utteriy deny that I have done anything or failed to do anything inconsistent with my promise of support made in the paper of the 25th of May. In that paper I promised "to use all the means in my power to procure the Surrender and re assignment of the interest heretofore conveyed by the State of North Caro lina to W. J . Best and others in the Western North Corolina Railroad Com pany to be made to W. J. Best, W. W. Carutb, D. J. Sprague, W. S. Denny and Lewis Coleman." Before I was required to do anything, the Boston syndicate was required to do three things, to-wit: First, to make a deposit of $250,000; secondly, to obtain a lease of the At lantic and North Carolina Railroad; and, thirdly, to prosecute the work "vigorously on the Midland road from Goldsboro to Salisbury." The first was done promptly and the second as soon as it could be. Who is prepared to say that the third and by far the most important of the three things has vet been done? It is some hundred and fifty miles from Goldsbo ro to Salisbury, and upto the Clinton meeting about ten miles, I think, had been graded. It will cost some two millions of dollars to complete the road from Goldsboro to Salisbury. The grading of the ten miles, I suppose, cost ten thousand dollars. Can it be safely said that this small amount done, in comparison with what remains to be done, tbe time had come when the commissioners were called upon to act? I think not In ourletter of the 1st of August to the assignees we -said: "If they" (the Boston syndicate) shall continue to vigorously prosecute the work of constructing and Duuding said road" (meaning the Midland) "we shall in good faith literally comply with our part of the agreement" (referring to the 25th of May agreement). Have they yet constructed or built a mile of road? Here I might rest my case. But I concede that they have done as much as they well could do in the time they had, and that they have complied with the spirit of their agreement So have I. I did not wait, as I might have done, till they had built and constructed sev eral miles of road, but having faith in those whom I had met, I commenced as early as June my efforts to bring about the re-assignment referred to in the agreement I have steadily pur sued that course, using all means that I considered legitimate and proper, be cause I felt that the success of the Mid land scheme in its entirety was of such Value and importance to the State as to require me to do it There is a differ ence of opinion among many good peo ple as to the propriety of my . having made this promise of the 25th of May, as well as a difference of opinion as to whether I have kept it t This difference of opinion, however, like most others, results, I opine, from the difference of meaning given to certain words. In this case, I take it that the words, "all means in our power," furnish the grounds of difference. It may be that ft was unfortunate that more definite words were not used. Be that as it may, I have always proposed, and do now propose, to be my. own judge of the ' means I shall use. I am always glad to have the approval of my fellow men, but . I must first of all have the approval of my own conscience. With out that, their approval would be worth but little. In this case I hare It most unqualifiedly. I have gone over with, myself carefully and in detail all that I have had to do with Mr. Best and his schemes, and I can say of a truth I have not done or said one thing that I did not' believe honorable and for the best interest of the State. My conscience does not reprove me, let the tongues and pens of others lash me as they may I Knr hSAr fst tha vhrrfa . "a 1 1 muni in I our power. No reasonable man will say they required me to do anything un lawful or immoral. Now the particular "means" which I am censured for not using is my failure to vote for Commis sioner Vance's resolution at the Clinton meeting, declaring the contract of the assignees forfeited and throwing the Western road back upon the State. I could not do that, Decause I believe it would have been both illegal and im moral, and, if so, I was not required by my promise to do it Why do I say it would have been both illegal and im moral ia me? It would have been il legal, because, on the 30th day of April, the commissioners gave the assignees four months' extension of time, con ditional upon the assignees doing cer tain things. These certain things were done by the assignees as speedily as pos sible. Had none of the commissioners signed toe extension, I have not the slightest doubt, and never had, that, af ter the assignees performed their part, a court of equity would have compelled the commissioners to do theirs. But I did sign the extension on the 13th of May, butjnore formally on the 16th, and Commissioner Worth on the 15th. The granting of the extension was on the 13th of April, and not when Com missioner Worth and myself signed it, nor on the 17th day of November at the Clinton meeting, as some have suppos ed. Had I voted with Commissioner Vance at tbe Clinton meeting, I would have been voting, as I believe, to force the state into a lawsuit on tbe Western road, in which, after long and expensive sive litigation, she was, in my opinion, Douna to re oeaten. i nad no legal right to gut the State in such a position. It would have been immoral in me to have so voted, because I had time and again specifically promised that I would give a reasonable extension. I promis ed Mr. Best, while he was interested on that side of the question, I would do it for him, if he needed the time. I prom ised his assignees that I would give it to them. I voted for it at the April meeting and signed it in my own hand writing on the 13th and 16th of May. It would have been immoral in me to have violated that oft-repeated promise. I have never deceived any one in this matter, or concealed from any one my purpose m reierence to it. l have all the while declared it to be my purpose to stand by the extension, if the as signees continued to perform their part oi tne agreement I have said the actual granting of the extension was at the meeting of the commissioners in the city of Raleigh on the 30th of April, and not when Commissioner Worth and myself sign ed the extension, or at the Cinton meet ing, when we voted uphold it The fol lowing paper, unanimously agreed up on the commissioners at said meeting of the 30th of April, is, I think, conclu sive on the question. The paper is as follows, the italics being my own : "The commissioners having consider ed tbe application of Buford, Clyde and Logan, assignees of W. J. Best and as sociates, for an extension of four months' time under the contract in in which to complete the Western North Carolina Railroad to Paint Rock and Pigeon River, and being of opin ion the causes set out in said amlica tion are sufficient to entitle them to the extension asked for, it is agreed by us, the said commissioners, that the time be and is hereby extended four months in which to complete said road to Paint Rock and Pigeon River under the said contract; provided, the said applicants snail comply with all tbe conditions and requirements set out in their said application. This paper was, as I have said, unani mously agreed to, and was delivered to Colonel Andrews, not signed, but with an agreement that it would be signed by us at our meeting, which was ex pected to take place two weeks hence, upon the application being reformed in tbe particulars there agreed upon. This paper is valuable for another purpose, it snows what tne commis sioners thought of the merits of the grounds upon which the extension was asked. : It shows that, notwithstanding mere naa been delays on tne part or the assignees in pushing the work, still tne commissioners unanimously de clared "the causes set out in said appli cation are sufficient to entitle them' (the assignee?) no the extension asked tor." Having said this much in explana tion of my course as a commissioner, 1 suomit tne question at issue to tne ver dict of that tribunal to which I have never yet been afraid to appeal the people. If they shall say I have erred. 1 regret it. I did what I thought was right One more word and I am done. The Midland road is for North Carolina, and being so, I am for it It would do much for tbe development of the State if built. I trust the Boston syndicate will see their way clear to continue the work., If they do. I shall do all in my power, consistent with my ideas of right and the best interest of the State, to make the Western road a part of the Midlahd system, and no amount of ca joling or abuse can change my purpose. THOS. J. JAR VIS. Number of Cotton Factories in the State Wilmington Star. Georgia claims to have some fifty five cqtton factories. Georgia leads in the size of its factories if not in num bers. Its spindles equal those of an i five Southern : States , combined. Bu North Carolina is second in the num ber of its spindles, and possibly first in the number of its mills. At any rate, we are assured by a gentleman of this city who is in a position to know, that he has an accurate list of the cotton and woollen mills in North Carolina, and that to date the figures stand thus: cotton factories, fifty-three in opera tion, six others completed nearly; to tal cotton factories, fifty-nine. There are four or five woollen mills in opera tion. We are confident that in five years we shall have tne hundred cotton mills in operation. The Georgia mills, all of them, average 12 per cent profits, some of them much more. .... HABITUAL GOSTIYXSI is the bane of nearly every American, woman.
