"Carolina Western X -miff I e- '' Weaverville, Jan. 25. A mad clog! made Its appearance near Here on Sunday after noon and temporarily disturbed the quiet peacefulness of the day. , It. was first seen at Mr. Robert Wearer's, wn;re ik.uu. line nd : highly prized dog. -The rabid bmte a; few- indmentsUiter tftlaoked the nttl daughter of Mr. Robert Chambers, could, eet to the child.. Her hand showed an .abrasion, but i't is 4Ihou&fot that she -was not brtiten, but onb matched. rf.VRini's dog was later bitten by the same . rabid our, but, .strange to say, escaped and disappeared. Mr. Weaver killed his dog. sAt the late regular: communication of Blackmer Lodge, A. P. and A. M., located here, the annual election of officers was held. T. H. Weaver, 'tsq.;' is- the retiring worshipful toaster. .Mr. G. P. Weaver was elected to succeed hdm a W. M.; A. F. Weaver, senior Warden; C. P. West, junior : warden ; T. H. Weaver, secretary; Dr. J. A. Keagan, treasurer. The lodge is . one ifv, rviAaft anri fwst known in this sec- 'uuv v i wv fc " tion. a- severe and unusually heavy rainfall continued here during mOst of last, night. The rain began about ten o'clock and con .timiMi steadily (throughout tdie night, ceas- oniy -at about nine o 'clock iMs morning. The prec'ipi tatdon aimounted to about one and one-half inches. Only one wagon passed through the vll ' lage yesterday enroute for Ailheville. Some curiosity,, if not anxiety, is expressed here as to whether the untJaunteti1 'teamster ever rekohed his destina'cion. None has had the temerity to xry.xnis iauiis mw oughmud today, at least, ifcas not yet got this Oar on thear way to the cfty if any one brave enough has begun such journey from that Vast" stretch-. of fertile country im mediately north of he-re, whence Ashe villift draws so Iarsre a part of her supplies. In the' Klondike region travel continues, but here the conditions tare differenlt; ther. they do not have county commissioners. Before the roads were 'turned wrong-slde-out there passed along this Burns vllle road at this season'of the year from fifty no one hundred wagons dally, doing the large traf fie between the city and north Buncombe. Do the merchants mliss this trade? Is there any remedy? . - , A RAILROAD POSSIBILITY. A Winston special to, the Observer has mentioned the prospective survey of a rail road from Kernersville to Reidsville, and in the Winston papers a good deal has been safd about 'the building of a railroad be tween these two points. We have under stood that the Southern railway comipany is behind this movement, and if so it may mean a good deal. It has been suggested to us that this' is the revival of a project which has been discussed quite a good deal in the past, by whj'ch the Southern would render itself independent of the North Car olina T!aila4. This plan comtemplates a line via Reidsville, Kernersville, Winston, Mocksville and Mooresyille, and thence di rect to Gastonia, crossing the Catlawba a- bout, Stanley Creek. By sosch a line not only ' would independence be secured, but thirty-five to forty miles in distance saved, and Charibtte, Concord, Salisbury, Lexing ton, Thomas ville and High Point' be left out in the cold that is to say they would be off the main line and on a local line. What the effect upon the North Carolina railroad would be in the event of this sug gested line being built and the forfeiture of the lease, the reader may speculate upon for himself.' Perhaps the Seaboad Air Line or the Atlantic Coast Line would lease it. If not. and if ft were left to be operated by the state and 'the private stockholders, it is hardly imaginable -that it could pay run ning expenses, 'isiterest on its bond and seven per cent, annual dividend on its stock, tapped as it would be at Chartotibe by the Southern and Seaboard, at Salis bury, by the Southern, at Greensboro by the Southern and Cape Fear atfd Ya'dMn Valley, etc. Charlottte Observer. FELL INTO A WELL. Last Saturday night - Isaac Marshall, a colored nmn who is employed by Mr. W. A. McDOnald, after finishing his day's work started to his home on Greene street. In stead of going around the road, he decided to take a. shorter rout through the eld back of W. D. 'Leak's old restaurant. Mars-hall was not unfamiliar with tMs route, . but - the nsight . being unusually dark, he was ; unable to follow "the, path closely and was obliged to grope his way through -Che gfioomy blackness in a zig-zag dire'dtlon... He had (traveled onQy a short distanJce in' this . manner.: was horrified by - feeding the ..earth . suddenly give way be meatih -Ms feet and in less than a Jiff y the stars were more than twenty feet farther from "h tan he had stepped into an: old well. ' The 'Well was dry and' clean, ' but these favorable conditions afforded - little consolation to the unfor'tunjalte colored man ,at the bottom. . He set up a yell 13ia. -was not long in acquainting the surrounding commiwiity with Ms condition and willing hands quickly responded to his appeal for . help. A strong rope was procurred, ; one end of wnich "was extended to thb man In the hole and several able-bodied men grasip ed the othter and soon had Marshall again on top of Che ground.

The United States department of agri culture has granted a further extension of the calttle quarantine regulations in- North Carolina. The federal quarantine regulations pre venting the shipment of cattle from North Carolina in the quarantined district, which have not been operative since November 15, went into effect January 15. A large number of cattle shippers in North Caro lina and Virginia -were excluded from ship ping their cattle to the north, and not a few of them were unacquainted with the regulation. Many complainlts were received here by Commissioner Smith of the agri cultural department, asking Chat some ef fort -be made to have the time of limita tion extended. In Virginia the same con dition of affairs existed and the authorities there succeeded in having the time ex tended until February 11. The matter of securing further time for t!he shipment of cattle froin North Caro lina was placed in the hands of Mr. J. C. L. Harris, attorney for the department. 'Mr. Harris laid the maJtter before th federal authoities- last week.,' He showed that North Carolina had been discriminated a gainet, inasmuch "as Virginia had been granted the extension of time for the en forcement of the quarantine regulations. Yesterday Mr. Harris wlas appraised ijy telegraph of the decision of the deptartnwnit to grant North Carolina shippers further time for the shipment of their cattle. Be lowxis a copy of the telegram: . "Washington, D. C, Jan. 24, 1898 "J. C. L. Harris, "Raleigh, N. C.

Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours ; a sedi unent or settling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys. When urine staims the linen it is evidence, of kidney trouble.
