Cr Dear Sirs: You buy your horse shoes and nails; your grandfather, if he was a blacksmith, made 'em. You can't afford to hammer them out by hand, when you can buy as good, or better perhaps, ready mado to your hand, for a little more than the cost of the iron. ' What do you think of a painter who goes on buying his linseed oil and white-leatl, and mixing, and tinting by hand, and charging his time for work that is far better-done than he'can do it, done by machin ery, done as your horseshoes and nails are made. - , ; Mistake isn't it? Y - He is wasting his chance in the world. There is no better stuff to do business with than good horse shoes and paint; and no better work than putting them on. Good horse- shoes well put on: It's the putting 'em on that makes you a blacksmith; . no matter who makes 'em. Who wants to go back to old times, and make his own horse shoes? - Between us two, that painter don't know how to make good paint he used to; but paint has runaway fromshim. - Yours truly, F. W. Devoe & Co. P. S. Smith & Yelverton sell our paint. Dr. Dade's Little Liver Pills cure Jiiver ills.Sold by HigginsDrug Co, RAILROAD ACCIDENTS. It is our boast that American rail roads are the finest in the world, that we have the brighte&t- railroad managers in the world and the finest service, but accident after accident and disaster after disaster proclaim the fact that we are far from having the safest service. ' An efficient bulle tin just sent out by the Interstate Commerce Commission shows that during the past year 9,984 persons were killed in railroad wrecks and 78,247 injured! There figures are the more startling when brought into comparison with reports from Eng land. The English roads haul more passengers than ours, yet during the past year there was not one passen ger killed in England. It is true that we have a much greater mileage than England, and our roads extend over a long territory, but even tak ing these facts into consideration, our casualties are out of all propor tion. "Mr. James J. Hill, of the Great Northern Railway Company, was recently asked by the New York Journal of Commerce what he would suggest as a means of preventing such accidents. He replied that until the public realized its own danger from the neglect oi those whose duty it is to protect trains, there would be no relief from the liability to ac cidents. He addmitted that the dif ficulty in enforcing discipline and the careless familiarity with wrhich men take not only their own lives, but the lives of passengers into dan ger, would not be prevented until those who were responsible through criminal neglect were punished criminally. It has been charged that the num erous accidents on American rail ways are due largely to the fact that the managers of these roads are so bent on making money that they do not take the proper precautions. But we think that the figures would show that it is more expensive for rail roads to have accidents and pay damages for the passengers whom they kill or maim than it would be to spend the money necessary to pre vent accidents. However that may be, it is certain that the people are becoming very much aroused on this subject, and if the accidents do not stop they will call the railroad managers to account and will resort to extreme measures, if necessary, to protect the life and limb of pas sengers. Resolution of Respect. Whereas, In the Etneral Fitness or Things, God, in His infinite wis dom, has removed from among us our comrade, S. L. Derr, and Whereas, Comrade S. L. Derr was at all times a most loyal and conscientious soldier, therefore be lt !

Manchester, England, Oct. 5. It was to-day announced that owing to the hard times and depression in the cotton industries between forty and fifty thousand people in the poorer parts of the city were nearly on the verge of starvation.

Miller "Writes Clearly and Pertinently On This Dreaded Disease, Editor Argus: At this time when Diphtheria is so prevalent in our community I feel that some gen eral information would be acceptable to our citizens pertaining to this most dangerous disease, and I here with submit the following matter, obtained from the very latest and best authorities on the subject of Diphtheria. ' Diphtheria does not arise de nov. Every case has its origin in a previous case, either directly or remotely. The Bacilli may enter the body through the inspired air; they may be taken in the mouth with -toys or other articles . upon which they have lodged, or by kissing, and some times by accidental inoculation. As a rule, the bacilli first gain a foot hold upon the mucous membrane of the tonsils, nose or larynx. Direct infection is the cause in the great majority of the cases. There is no proof that the bacilli are contained in the breath of a person suffering from the disease. They are dis charged in great numbers in the saliva and mucus from the mouth and uose, and in pieces of membrane which are coughed up; they are not present in the urine or forces. The most contagious are those of pharyn geal diphtheria of severe type and long duration, chiefly on account of the amount of discharge which ac companies them. The cases that are least contagious are those in .which the membrane is limited to the laxyn.1 and lower air passages. Direct infection may occur from persons convalescent from diph theria, whose throats still contain virulent bacilli, or from persons suf fering from a mild form of the dis ease, which is not recognized as diphtheria. In the latter way it is often spread in schools. It has been shown that a person may harbor virulent bacilli in his nose or throat, and may even communicate the dis ease to others, without himself suf fering from diphtheria at any time. The length of time during which a patient with diphtheria may con vey the disease to others is some what uncertain. Transmission is possible so long as virulent bacilli remain in the throat; and these are frequently found two weeks after the membrane has disappeared and the patient is regarded as entirely well, and in a few cases they are found five or six weeks, or 1- nger,af ter recovery. Indirect infection is not uncom mon, and may occur from the bed or clothing of the patient, irom the carpet, furniture, wallpaper or hang ings of the room, from toys or pic ture books, from dishes, feeding-bottles, or drinking cups, from swab-biushes- used for local applications to the throat, from spoons and tongue-depressors, and from surgical in struments with which tracheotomy or intubation has been done. Diph theria may be carried by a third per- son, out rareiy, except- uy uue wuu . . i - j. i . "who has been in close contact with the patientr-either ... the 1 physician or nurse. The, frequency of diphtheria in physicians families bears witness to the great danger of infection in this manner. The incubation of diphtheria is short. In most of the cases in which it could be definitely traced it has been between two and five days. Second attacks of diphtheria, while more frequent than of measles or scarlet fever, are relatively rare. It seems to be established by recent ob servations that the immunity con ferred by one attack of diphtheria is of comparatively short duration, amounting probably to a few months only. Instances have recently been reported where a second attack oc curred within two months of the first, although Antitoxine was used. The use of Antitoxine is attended v,tt nr. aorious conseauences, and is ' the best and safest treatment for diphtheria. The following figures are from report of the Health De partment of Chicago of cases treated with Antitoxine from Oct. 5th, 1895 to Feb. 28, 1899: Patients injected first Died day disease appeared, 355 1 2nd day 1,018 17 3rd' " 1,509 57 4th " 720 82 Later 469 119 Totals, 4,071 276 It cannot be too often emphasized that the danger from diphtheria is not over when the throat has cleared. The most frequent cause of death af ter this time is heart paralysis, less, frequently paralysis of respiration, nephritis, or broncho-pneumonia. The Antitoxine must be given early, for if given late it can not un do the mischief already done by the diphtheria. Cases of great severity often pass the period when recovery is possible before Antitoxine is given. - The period may in some cases be four days, in others it may be less than twenty four hours. The tissues most susceptible to the diph theria poison are probably those of the nervous system, the heart and the kidneys; and the consequences of its action may be seen in the pro duction of nephritis, in heart failure at the height of the disease, or in later paralysis of the heart. In the cases where sudden death has followed Antitoxine injections, the evidence that Antitoxine was the cause of the death is not conclu sive. That so very few alleged in stances of this have occurred among the great number or injections which have been made, is sufficient to es tablish the fact that 'Antitoxine it self is harmless. At the present time, after Antitoxine has been in use for over seven years, no evidence has been adduced as to its danger or in jurious effects which should deter any one from its use. Those which have been reported are to be regard ed in the light of accidents for which the Antitovine cannot be held re sponsible. After seven years of test ing on so extensive a scale as the prevalence of diphtheria all over the world has made possible, it would seem quite unnecessary to cite statis tics in proof of the value of this remedy. When a case of diphtheria occurs in a family or institute, every child that has been exposed should re ceive an immunizing dose of Anti toxine. This is a peint which has not received at the hands of most practicing physicians the attention which it deserves. There can be no doubt that for a limited time from three to four weeks the Antitoxine confers almost complete protection. As diphtheria is contracted, not from the breath of the patient nor the air of the room, but by receiv ing the bacilli iuto the mouth or air passages, all possible means should be taken to destroy the bacilli dis charged, and to secure absolute cleanliness in everything about the sick-room. Nurses should never be allowed to eat or sleep in the sick room, and an, antiseptic gargle should be usea lour or nve. times a day. The hands should be hept clean and only such dresses worn as can be easily washed and disinfected. It is the nurse who is most likely to contract the disease on account of the continued exposure, 1 The carpetSjhangingtf, upholstered furniture, -everything in fact not necessary for the patient's welfare, should be removeed: especially toys, books, cushions, etc. The room should be a large one, if possible with an open fireplace, well venti lated, and fresh air should be allow ed in abundance. The floor should be washed once a day with a solu tion of bichloride, 1 to 2,000, and dusted often with cloths moistened in the same solution. All handker chiefs, bed linen, ana clothing re moved from the patient should be treated as in a case af scarlet fever. Pieces of membrane and other mat ters discharged from the patient should be put into a solution of car bolic acid, 1 to 20, or of bichloride, 1 to 1,000. Old muslin or absorbent cotton should be used to cleanse the nose and mouth of the patient and burned immediately. All vessels for the reception of exporation or other discharges should contain bichlor ide, 1 to 2,000. The bed linen should be frequently changed, and every thing kept scrupulously clean.. In the room should be a large bowl of carbolic acid, 1 to 40, or some simi lar solution for cleansing the hands, and a tray of the carbolic soluction for spoons, syringes, or other things used in the treatment of the patient. All spoons, cups, or other dishes used by the patient should be care fully sterlized by boiling. No milk or other food should be allowed to stand about the room. Take no chances; every case of sore throat at this time should be treated as if a genuine case of diph theria. This contribution has for its pur pose solely, one object, that to ac quaint the citizens of Goidsboro with the nature of this terrible scourge, and ii possible, to assist them in driving it out of our midt-t.

All esti mates of next month's vote hover near fifteen millions. This means that 1,072,014 mora ballots will be cast next inoath than were cast in the hot campaign of four years ago. Many gold Demo crats will vote next month who did not vote four years ago, but there will not be a million of them, and we must look to the general increase and immigration for the remainder. The poll of four years ago includ ed 393,900 votes cast for candidates other than McKinley and Bryan. The Prohibitionists polled 208,914 votes; the Socialists, 87,814; the Socialist-Labor, 39,739; the Populists, 50,373, and two other-candidates re ceived abodt 7,T)0. The odd candi dates will poll more votes this year than did like candidates in 1900. It is perhaps within prudence to put the total vote of the hopeless candi dates at half a million. Judge Par ker will certainly gain half a million votes over Mr, Bryan's strength four years ago, one half of which gain will be recorded in New York State. . m- Still Alter the Old "Mullet.'
