At Washington, N. C, Jan. 28th, 1905, at the breaking of day, the ! spirit of "Cousin Bettie" Mrs. Bet- ue ivianoney wingea us way oacic to the Heavenly world. Her life was one of usefulness and self-sacrifice in the highest and truest sense. It was her pleasure to do good, not a duty, and to many a life has brought joyand gladness,and to a sad broken j heart bid the weary spirit iave"laith ; in God." . j -The world has been made better and richer by her having lived. In October 1904, she had asevere stroke of paralysis, affecting her en tire left side.This was a dispensation of Providence she conld not understand, but uttered not a word of complaint, and said that if it was His will that she snould go in aud out among her frieuds again she would be glad, if not, it would be well. Her faith in God was simple and complete, and me meeting or ner saviour was a looked -for joy to her. It was her req est that she be buried at Durham N. C.

John Mahonv who prec.icd nere many years. T-j her ioved ons who attended thai, sad.soleuin service at the church and saw the grave close over that faituful body, it was a parting of sor row and a loss of a dear, true friend. Bui, to "Cousin Bettie" it was a joy, tor iu heavensh-was happy in being with Him whom she loved, and to again greet her loved ones whom she Knew on earth. "Faithful, even until death." A. U. K. Circus Brings $15O,OG0. Columbus (O.) Dispatch. The Sells-Forepaugh circus was sold a auction Tuesday for $150,000, the only oid. The auctioneer went through the form of crying for other bids but not another offer was made, anil in a stentorian tone the- auction eer declared the Sells-Forepaugh shows "sold for $150,000, and a very cheap price, gentlemen, but we must take that since we cannot get more." Lewis Sells stepped to the front of the platform and informed those present that the purchaser was J. A. Bailey. The terms, he said, were cash. Only five minutes was re quired to sell a property that has been thirty years in the making. James A. Bailey gave out the fol lowing statement: "The Forepaugh-Sells Bros, show is now the sole property oi James A. Bailey and the Ringling Bros. A half interest was sold to the Ring ling Bros, after the auction sale. The chow will be operated next year by myself and the Ringling Bros., and while the name has not yet been de cided upon.

Think for a moment of the extra strain you put upon the stomach in the Winter. The hearty food, the late suppers, aud the lack of exercise and out door life all weaken and strain the stomach, laying the loun datiou tor poor health and suffering. Chronic stomach troubles, nervous irritability, and serious bowel and kidney diseases have often daied from a week of extra "good living." Nearly everyone is bothered with more or less neauacnes ana DacK aches, furred tongue, poor appetite, dry, hacking cough, heartburn, spots before the eyes, dizziness or vertigo, sleeplessness, lack of energy, loss of flesh or a general weak, tired feeling. Now is the time when Mi-o-na is needed to repair the ravages and wastes the hearty eating of Winter has caused in the stomach and diges tive system. Thia is the only known agent that strengthens the stomach and digestive organ?, so they can and will readily digest whatever food is eaten. A Mi-o-na tablet tak en before each meal will remove all irritation, inflamation and conges tion in the digestive organs, and . so strengthen them that they will ex tract from the food ail that goes to make good rich blood, firm muscle, and a sound, healthy body.

The Boston Traveler objects to any federal control in the location of newly-arrived immigrants. - It is moved to take this position because Immigration Commissioner Sargent has.shown an inclination to induce immigrants to go south, where cheap lands aud a mud climate await them. It does not appear in the Traveler's comments why it opposes a-sisttd coloniz itioii in the south. It goes on to say: "Immigration mam pulators cannot relieve, but can easily aggravate the shiitlessness and de pravity with which the south has now to contend. Sach a scheme as proposed will offer unlimited op portunies for fraud and corruption and continued in operation for two years will result in one of the great er scandals that the nation has ever known." The entire article does not mani fest a friendly disposition towards the south, and it almost seems that the appearance of the Traveler's ar ticle is due to a desire to see immi grants continue to flow into the cot ton mills and other industries of New England. As the native peo ple disappear from the industries immigrants are needed to take their places. We may do the Traveler injustice but it is difficult ta see what other. motive prompts it to oppow the turning of immigrants from the eastern cities to the u cultivated lands' of the Soutn. A nen her fraud nor force are pos-ib'e in ihe hand ling of immigrant,. thre seems to be no good reason why the g veru- ment shou d not pUco before all available information. the n itiuq Traveler's pictures of fiaud and tor- ruption are strictly imaginative, and the Traveler's statements of the ef fects of immigration upon the South are absolutely without foundation.

LEASE. The West Rejoices That the Road Has Been Converted From a Burden to a Source of-Profit to the State. (Asheville Citizen.) Editor The Citizen: I note in the Raleigh Observer of the 27th, inst., that the Xinston people are up in arms denouncing the leasing cf the Atlantic & North Carolina railroad to the Howiand Improvement Com pany, calling the act fraudulent and the company tryanuical, setting out that a committee on resolutions re ported a strong preamble and resolu- the lease of the State's road to the Howiand Improve- jment Company, and resolved as foi- 'OW8. itat that we will exert our 'rights and throw off this tryaunical yoke of oppression that &has been fraudulently heaped upon us." .Do ihe pejpio of IviusLon under take to say tuj.L ootfciuor Acock uod irauduienily heaptd oppression upon them? l tLuuii, alter a little deliberate thougui, tuey will surely retract that resolution. There is not a jury of twelve honest Christian men inNorth Carolina that will agree that Gov. Aycock would commit a traud of any nature on any portion of the people of North Carolina, uov. Aycock saw the effort to wreck aid lose the road to the State, and to stop these efforts to steal it, made a lease that will yield the otate an income. I wonder if those over there remember how lo iuai road has been run as a . thing for their accoaxoua iiU by a rnaaagonc . i tneir notion -.u i. . , ale i-eas -.... .fciVery riu Carolina, . -o au uta eat in tnat railroad and .t- ouiy way ney can get a penny uc oi it is to have it yield an income j tne State at large. Up to the date of its lease to the Howiand Improve ment Company, it had been a burden rather than a profit, .and no one but those living along the line, it ap pears, have had any benefit in low rates, that could not extend to others in the State, and the income was too small to improve the road so as to make it yield an income to the gen eral State fund. Gov. Aycock has now put it in shape to yield the State an income and in the hands of a sound financial company that will put it in the best possible shape to benefit the whole State, and this re flection on Gov. Aycock for leasing it and this reflection on the Howiand Improvement Compapy is the usual cry we hear from the East when they don't get their whole loaf of bread. believe J voice the sentiment of the Western pottion of this State when I say we heartily endorse Ay- cock's lease of the road. We know the Howiand Improve ment Co. will promptly meet " the payments on the lease and put the road in the best possible condition We also know the state has an able railroad commission and that they can soon find out if the Howiand Co. are charging tryaunical rates and coirect them. If the road" was simpiy running for expenses and yielding no income to the state then all the state was bein tryannicaliy robbed. And if either the railroad commission or the legislature lends a hand to shut off this income to all tne people who do not live along that line,-they should rise up and demand the sale of the road and cause whatever there is above its in debtedness to be put into the State treasury to apply to educational in terests. This railroad has been a source of slander and blackmail and dispute for years. It is now in shape that we know exactly what it is worth to North Carolina. Whether it handles One pound or one million pounds at a high or low rate, let the state keep it that, way or sell it. S. A. JONES. Waynesville, N. C , J&n. 30, 1905. Letter to B. H. Griffin.

IlEFJTIflJ. DOWNFALL OF THE BEEF TRUST. THE The United States Supreme Court Hand Down a Unani mous Decision That is Sweeping and Un qualified. An unanimous decision of the United StatesSupretne Court relieves alike the cattle raisers, the butchers and consumers from the acts of a grevious trust. This decision is re garded as of the highest importance, it being broad, unqualified and sweeping. Judge Grosscup, whose decision was thus reviewed, says the decision of the high court institutes a movement "to bring corporate ownership within the reach and rea sonable confi lence of the people at large and thus to rcpeopieize and re- publicanize. again the industrial own ership of the country." The monopoly that unduly taxed the food of all has been knocked out by the court of last resort , for It is enjoined from acting in con certfor the purpose of depressing the price tof cattle on the ranges xt is enjoined irorn a tins' in con cert for the purpose of increasing the price of dressed beef and other meats to the consumers of the United States. It is enjoined from continuing its system of blacklisting small dealers tu order to compel them to conform othe regulations of the trust. It is enjoined from receiving from railroad companies or other com mon carriers rebates by means of private car lines or other devices. It is enjoined from agreeing upon charges for cartage and delivery of meat. The trust whose oppressive acts are thus stopped- controls a trade amounting" to six hundred million dollars a year. It consiststs of Swift & Co-, who handle a business of two hundred million dollars; Arm ur & Co., who come next with a trade amounting to one hundred and ninety million dollars; Nelson, Morris & Co., whose annual business foots up ninety-five millions, and the Ham- j mond company, which has a snug business - aggregating seventy-five millions a year. All these combined millions relate to the very food of , I)t-M lIU- - i Judge Grosscup's order directed against the beef trust was issued June 2, 1902, and the members of thej trust have daily violated it a thous- j and times ever since. What will be their punishment? They are in con- j tempt of court, as Mr. Debs was ' when he disregarded Judge Gross cup's order in the railroad of 1884. Mr.. Debs was sent to fail for six months. Can Judsre Grosscup con- sistently do less with the persistent , violators of hisorder in the beef trust Thfi fnr hisr nackers have the fail in front of them, and the extent and nature of their banishment is a mat-' ter of interest now.outrunning every other feature'of the epochal decision, Tt. i. niaiml. however, that the bis packers will now proceed to merge their interests in one huge corpora- tion, thus setting up a huge trust in place of the secret gentlemen's agree' ment. But such a trust would still be subject to federal control, and it can do none of the acts that the com bine was enjoined from doing, beef trust should be dissolved, competition in meats which are arti - cles of food should be enforced com - petitors at both ends competition on the cattle farms as well as in the butchers' stalls. As Judge Grosscup savs. the entire industry should be repeopleized. " ' i Telephones and Telegraphs. The average number of messages per telephone per year was in 1902 in the country 2,190, and the net in come of each was $9.36 in the country as a whole. There are 4,151 systems in the country, and their capital stock stood in 1902 at $384,534,066. Their total revenue in that year was $86,825,536. The number of tele phones in use in that year was 2,315,-: 297; the total number of switch boards was 10,896.

It is said that the com mittee finally will agree to an amendment requiring that every claim to be arbitrated under the treaties must first be submitted to the Senate, Senators from Southern States who have opposed the treaties because of the efface they might possibly have on repudiated State bonds, held abroad have agreed to accept an amen ent of that character. TWO HUSBAND MUR DERERS. Last week Mary Rogers was to have been hanged iu Windior, Vt. for the murder of her husband, and later on Kate Edwards wiil be hanged in Pennsylvania. She, ton, killed husband- her own, by the way. Petitions in great numbers have been presented to the Governors of the two States urging them to exer cise their powers to prevent the hanging of the two women. Gover nor Bell says, however "No;" and Governor Penny;acker aleo says "No" to all petitions. They are to be handed. This raises a question a3 to mur deresses. Wherein do murderese. differ from murderers, who are al ways with us? The o.ie kills as surely as the other, and just so long as hanging remains a legal penalty murderesses will have to line up with murderers, unless indeed they have beauty, we-alth or poweiful iriends, when a jury will release them even more freely than it turns loose murderers to kill more per sons. The long and short of it Is, Mary Rogers and Kate Edwards have strangely enough been found guilt y of murder, and they have now no more chance than men in their posi tions would have, and it is difficult to see wherein public sentiment and I the public authorities are wrong in ' : a. i, . l. au. l ..1 l-..- 4 1 . ; ,bWluS are :la;" atc ucau RESINOL ART CALENDAR And Record of Baby's Doings.

The New York World thinks that President Roosevelt should convene the fifly-ninth congress in special session as soon as convient after March 4, to enact tariff and railroad legislation along the line of the Pres ident's position. The World says that discussion of these! que&lons dur ing the past month shows a con stantly augmenting body of public sentiment in support of the Presi dent, that the democrats in congrets are already committed to these measures, and the republican lead ers are the obstructionists, and adds: "In a regular session they can sec rete themselves behind the appro priation bills. Iu a special session they would have to fight the Presi dent in the open. Few of them have the courage for that." This is doubtless true. Mr. Roose velt is a hard fighter when he once gets started, and he is evidently in earnest in his efforts for railway leg islation. He has struct a very popu lar chord in this position, and is re ceiving from all over the country many expressions of thanks. Cer tainly there is need of railway legis lation, and this is a good time to work for it. If a special session of congress be convened there can be no excuse for delay. It will be up to the republican leaders to i-how their hand, and the millions of p o ple who are now clamoring for re lief from au unjmt railway tax will know where they stand. COL. T. II. BAIN. A Brother Officer of the State Guard Writes of His Sol di ry Record. The "Army and Navy Journal" officially announces, this week, the staff of Gov. R. B. Glenn, and it is wi'.h pleasure that we note the reap pointment of Col. T. II. Bain as in spector General of the Natienal Guard of North Carolina. Col. B.iin was appointed Inspector General on Gov. Avcock's staff in 1901, and in reappointing him to this position Gov.Glenn but pays another tribute to the efficieucy, faithfulness and zeal of this highly accomplishtd officer.
