Zeilin & Co., Philadelphia In vew of the fact that Golds boro is to have another mammoth tobacco warehouse, the con struction cf which is to be gin- at an early day, no time should be losst in getting commensurate prise bouses un der way to meet the require ments of the tobacco buyers. Withoutufficient prize houses we cannot expect Goldsboro no matter how many sales ware houses we may construct to at tract buyers to our market:-and without Jbnyers we can do noth ing. It behooves our wide awake and progressive business men, to get together and secure the early establishment of more prize houses- The tobacco buys ers are now prospecting as to where they will locate for the coming tobacco marketing sea sons and determining their luca tions. and thev will not come to Goldsboro unless they can be as sured of priz house accomoda tions and the best way to as sure them of this is to show them the prize houses.

CLISGMAX- Trial" of the Men Captured on the Competitor- Findings of the Court-martial to be Sub mitted to the Gov nrnment at Madrid- Havana. May 8. At 8 o'clock this morning a court-martial opened at the a s. senal here for toe trial of the me u who were 'captured by a Spanish warship on the alleged filibustering schooner Conpeti- tor, belonging to Key "West. The prisoners were Alfredo Labored, born in New Orleans; Owen Milton of Kansas; William Kin- Jea, an Englishman, and Elias Bedia and Tehoi dore iVlazi, both Cubans. Capt; Ruiz acted as president of the court, which consisted of nine other military and naval officers. AH the accus ed pleaded not guilty. Several witnesses admitted that when the men vvere captured they were not armed and offered no resistance. Despite this fact, however, the prosecutor, Lieut. Suartz, asked the court-martial to convict the prisoners of fili bustering and tu impose the death sentence upon all of them. Counsel for the defence made a review or tne evidence ana demanded the acquittal of JV aza. He argued eloquently agaiust the others being sentenced to death and declared that the evideuce showed that mercy should be extended to them. The court-martial has as yet rendered no judgment. It is said tuat us nnaings win oe suo- mitted for approval to the Gov ernment at Madrid. During the course of the proceedings a let ter was read from tne American Consul General, Ramon O. WiK hams, protesting against the trial. Mr. Williams abstained from attending ;he court- martial. Gen. Liuares reports that his command has" succeeded iu dis lodging the forces of Jose Maceo in the intrenched camp occupied by them in the province of Sauti ago de Cuba. In the fighting that took place before the rebels re treated, seventeen of the insur gents were killed. The troops, accordiug to the report, losionly two kilied and seven wounded. Another official report issued to day stated that the combined forces of Generals Altimara and Inclan have driven the rehels under Antonio Maceo into a dif terent position in the hills at Guaramaya, near Bahia Honda, province of Piuar del Rio. The report makes uo mention of any rebel loss, but states that the Spaniards have seven killed and twenty-five wounded. Anong the latter are oae captain and fvo lieutenants. The rebels bands of Regino and Alfouzo have burned about sixty houses in the town of Laguinallis, province of Matanjsas.

In curing con sumption there's nothinglike taking Time by the fore lock. .Doctors sav consumption can't be cured ; they have arguments to prove it. But -when they see it cured right under their face and eyes by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,, they admit that there's something wrong' about their arguments and something wonderful about the "Discovery." It isn't miraculous. It won't cure every case ; but it cures a suprisingly large per centage of cases , even When the patient is pretty far gone with a bad cough, and bleeding from the lungs, aad reduced al most to a shadow. Consumption is a blood disease. The lungs want a fresh supply of pure rich blood and plenty of it ; that is what the "Golden Medical Dis covery ' ' gives them. It is a blood-maker. It gives the blood - making functions power to produce a large quantity of the nourishing red corpuscles which make healthy life-giving blood.. This stops the wasting ; drives out the impurities ; heals me ulceration and begins a rapid building-up process, of solid, substantial flesh and vital energy. It isn't only consumptives who need the " Discovery." It cures every form of chronic blood-disease and all scrofulous and eruptive affections. Mr. Isaac E. Downs, of Spring Vallev, Rock land County, JV. y., writes: For three years I had suffered from that terrible disease, consump tion, and heart-disease. Before taking Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery I had wasted away to a skeleton; could not sleep nor rest, and many times wished to die to be out of my misery. Step by step, the signs and realities of returning health slowiy but surely developed themselves while taking the " Discovery.' Today 1 tip the scales at one-hundred-and-eighty-seven, and am well and strong. The 'Golden Medical Discov ery ' has also cured my daughter of a very bad ulcer located on the thigh. After trying almost everything without success we purchased three bottles of your Discovery which healed it perfectly."

E Robinson & B.ro.t druggets, ' For more than a quarter of a century this country the world, in fact has been making strides in industrial expansion following the railroad era, the dawn of which, as a factor in human progress, was scarcely more thau a generation ago. During all that period, science has been striving to open new avenues for the creation of wealth, until we have become the heir of all ages, when to live is sublime. The South now comes upon the field of human activity, the heir of all that science and art have ac complished without the costly experience through which other" sections have had to pass in the dpveiopment of their natural re sources. The hundreds of mil lions of dollars, spent. by other sections iu learning how to build railroads, how to make iron and steel, how to manufacture cotton how to extract gold from refiac tory ores, all at the lowest cost, have brought these industries to a point of perfection scarcely dreamed of a few years ago. The South inherits ail of these ad vantages, and can do in a decade what it has taken other sections a quarter of a century to accom plish. Economic changes in finance and in the world's general busi ness interest brought about these reyolution'z'ng influences of modern inventions changes be yond human control, are now forceing the world's manufacture ing interest to the sources of cheapest production, the place where the raw material is found n the greatest abundance and the most cheaply turned into the finished product. This means measure its force carefully that the South is to be the greatest, manufacturing country of the world. The attention of the business world is now centered upon the South, The great rail road operators, who built the railroad system of the West and Northwest: the men who pio neered the mighty movement of population into those sections daring the last quarter of a cen- turyjthu world s financial leaders, who practically dictate the course ot investment m this country and abroad, are all now centering their activities upon the upbuilding of the South. Th tide of population has turned this way, and from Virginia to Texg,s there is heard the tramp of an army ot settlers already numoermg at least 1UU.UUU a year. Within three years the South will be receiving ilOO.OQO new people annually, Th-a ma jority of these incomers will be tz JJ T .1 -1 xarmers irom me iNortn ana West Americans by birth; but there will also be thousands of the better class of Germans and Scandinavians, many skilled, mechanics, and a number, suffi ciently large to make a mats rial impression upon all b'usiaessand social affairs ing generation, and in this light can appreciate the importance of fitting the boys and young men of to-day by thorough industrial or technical training for the re sponsibilities and the opportunis ties of to-morrow. CAPITAL IN INDUSTRIES- While readers of the Manu facturers' Record in general are familiar with the fact that an unusually large number of cot ton mills have been constructed in South Carolina, the actual fig ures, as indicated by reports riled with the secretary of State, are truly surprising. Since Jan uary of the present year fifteen different plants have been pro jected in that State in as many different towns. While they are not large, the combined capital being but a little over 81,000,000, they strikingly indicate the in terest which has been taken in the textile industry by the peo ple iu the State, and the confi dence that 'hey hove in its future prosperity. Most of the mills in question will be constructed by nomo capital. It is ueedless to say that there is a large quiouut of idle money in the South to-day, which will be placed not only in cotton mills, but in many other factories, as oon as tbose who control the funds feel confident that such in dustries will be successful. The South really needs little eutside capital to greatly increase the number of its manufacturing plants. It has the money within its boundaries. Of course Southern people are not adverse to the investment of Northern capital, but it is to be feared that too often this is so much thought of that the question of invest ing home money, if it may be termed such, it almost disregard ed. South Carolina people are teaching the residents of other States a lesson iu this regard which should be heeded. Balti more Manufacturer's Record Mr. D. P. Davis, a prominent liveryman and merchaut of Goshen, Va., has this to say on the subject of rheumatism: "I take pleasure in recom mending Chamberlain's Pain Balm for rheumatism, as I know from pers, sonal experience that it will do all that is claimed for it. A year ago this spring my brother was laid up in bed with inflammatory rheumatism and suffered intense ly- The first application of Cham berlain's Paim Balm eased the pain and the use of one bottle completely cured him.
