To Whom it may Concern : We understand that the present Legislature will be asked, within the next few days, to enact a law establish ing in Guilford County a dispensary and to this end petitions are now be ing circulated In this county. These petitions will be placed in the hands of both Democrats and Beoobli- cans in order that the question of poli tics may be eliminated in the consider ation of the matter. We are of opin ion that the question is not one of politics and in order that the people of all parties may feel free to express themselves by means of these petitions, we address this letter jointly to the citizens of Guilford county, asking that the question of politics be elimi nated from its consideration and as suring the voters of all parties that no political advantage, if it lies in our power to prevent it, shall be taken of either party by reason of the members of that party being either in favor of or against the dispensary. ' This, in our opinion, is a question for the people irrespective of party af filiations. Respectfully, (Signed) A. M. Scales, Ch'm'ri i Guilford Co. Dem.Ex. Com. Zeb. Vanc Tatlob, Secretary. !

The West Indian Service of the I Weather Bureau. f i .. . The extension of the work of the weather bureau in the West Indies is proceding at a rapid rate, under the efficient direction of Prof. Willis L. Moore, chief of the bureau. Originally established as an emergency service to meet the demands of naval and commercial interests for warnings of i destruc tive storms in the Gulf of Mexico and adjacent seas and islands, un der the act of congress approved July 7th, 1898, it has now passed beyond the experimental stage and has already demonstrated the value of the warnings by the forecast of the Windward Islands hurricane of September 10th and 11th, 1898. j Regular observing stations un der the direction of skilled and trained observers of the weather bureau have been' established at Kingston, Jamica, Port of Spain, Trinidad, .Willemstead, - Curacoa, Santo Domingo, Santiago de Cuba, Cuba, Basseterre, St. Kitts, and Bridgetown, Barbados. .. Meteoro logical observations from these points are now regularly cabled to the department at Washington, which is thus enabled to obtain prompt information of the origin or approach of hurricanes for which warnings will be telegraphed to West Indian and southern coast ports. I ' Active work has also been per formed by the weather bureau in the matter of establishing sections of the climate and crop service in Puerto Bico and Cuba, for the purpose of determining climatic conditions, a knowledge of which is so important for the develop ment of the agricutural resources of the West Indies. The issue of a weekly crop bulletin has been commenced by the section director at San Juan, and a similiar publi cation will shortly be issued from Habana, Cuba. Bulletins are printed in Spanish for local distri bution, and copies translated into English are published in the Unit ed States. Twenty volunteer sta tions have been established in Puerto Rico, and the work of es tablishing a larger number of sta tions in Cuba is well advanced. Use Gardner's U. S.

Jackson, a private of Com pany M, Two Hundred and First New York, in camp at Greenville, owing to his use of liquor, has got ten himself into trouble that will doubtless take many lawyers to unravel. Last Thursday night Jackson got on a first class - spree and wound up by taking a young negro woman, Mattie Earle, before a negro preacher and" marrying her. Friday-the young man sobered up enough to realize the disgrace ful mess into which he had gotten himself, and came before a magis trate and told what he had done. He concluded by asking the magis trate for a divorce. When the re ply came that there was no such thing as divorce in this State, but that the law was very strict as to miscegenation, the man seemed paralyzed. The authorities' ar rested him, and he is now being held to answer for violation of the miscegenation laws. It is now a question whether the law, being so stringent in regard to miscegena tion, the marriage can be consider ed legal. ' La Grippe Is again epidemic. Every precaution should be taken to avoid it. Its specific cure is One Minute Cough Care. A. J.

A Rich Strike. . Colorado Springs, Col., Jan. 28. Great excitement exists on the' Mining Stock Exchange here over a fabulously rich strike in the Isabelle mine at Cripple Creek. Assays from the strike run from $40,000 to $100,000 to the ton. The stock jumped faom 97 cents to $1.50 per share to day, over 100,000 shares changing hands. Six; weeks ago the stock sold at 22 cents. . .

Rowland, of the Johns Hopkins University, is con cluding a seriet of office tests of his new multiplex telegraph appal . rat us, and expects to give it a line test in a few days. : The line test will be made be tween Philadelphia and Jertey City. One sender and one receiver will be losated in each city, and the attempt will be made to send four messages each way, or. eight mes sages in all, simultaneously over one wire. Prdfessor Rowland thinks that a much greater number of messages may be sent over one wire at the same time by means of his instrument, but at present he has developed it only ta- the point of eight. i The experiments are being con ducted in two rooms of the physical laboratory of the Johns Hopkins University. Two young lady senders are in one room, operating instruments that resemble the key boards of typewriting machines. In the other room is the receiver, which is a most ingenious device. The number of sending machines must correspond with the number of messages to be sent, but each re ceiver takes four messages at the same time. The method of .separ ting the currents and recordin eaoh message without any mterru tion from the ethers coming over the wire at the same time is the mysterious part of the invention, which. Prof essor Rowland does not care at present to reveal. Anyone able to operate the simple keyboard of a typewriter can send a message, and the only attention the receiver needs is to keep it supplied witb paper. The letters of the alphabet are placed about a small wheel. This wheel is whirled around by the electric current, and the letter wanted is stamped upon paper. In this way the message is spelled out in plain letters, without any need of a skilled onerator. The receiving machine looks somewhat .AmnliA.t.d r Ia unf .nlti.l aha but Professor Rowland says it is really very simple and not apt to get out of order. The principal feature of the in vention is the device for separating the messages and having-, each properly received.' This is done by a small brass wheel, about which revolves a flange having on it several cone shaped projections. This simple-looking apparatus does the work, but just how is, of course, a secret with Professor Rowland. .Messages over the same wire may be sent simultaneously from different points, thus increas ing the commercial value of the device. 1 r; 1 Professor- Rowland has been working on the invention about two years. The first receiving machine he made has been practi cally dismantled, and the two; re ceivers with which the line test will jbe made are new. He is now busily engaged in perfecting some of the minor details of the ma chines, and expects to be ready! for the final test within a few days. Baltimore Sun.

Senator Pritchard today introduced in the Senate his amendment to the ap propriation bill which is designed to be the first step towards carry ing out the suggestions of the President for the care of, the Con federate graves. This amendment provides for an appropriation for the preliminary work. It is as follows: "To enable the Secretary of War to make a thorough examination and report to Congress as to the number of Confederate cemeteries in the United States and the loca tion thereof, and the Confederate soldiers buried in other than Con federate cemeteries and, the loca tion of such cemeteries with the view to ascertaining ; the best method of caring for the Confed erate cemeteries and also for i the removal, where practical or desir able, of Confederate dead from private cemeteries to such. Confed erate cemeteries, the sum of $10,000 is appropriated." 1 As the amendment explains on, its face, it provides simply ! for paving the way for the work. This is probably all that will be done by this Congress, but after the information has been ascer tained it is lully expected that the work will go on and that the graves especially in distinctively Confed erate cemeteries, will be cared for The smallest things may exert the greatest influence.

Senator Frye continued his. argument for the ratification of the peace treaty with Spain in today's executive session of the senate. He talked for an hour and a half and again made the only speech of the day's session. -" " . The principal questions under consideration today were those re lating to payment of claims against the Spanish government, the x rea sons for agreeing to pay Spain for the improvements made in the Philippines and the reasons for ex tending to Spain the benefit of an open door policy in her former possessions. There were various interruptions by other senators, who, however, confined themselves to questions. In reply to one of these questions relating to the President's instructioas, Senator Frye said the commissioners were in constant communication with the President and that the latter had cabled them on more that one occasion to use their best judg ment on reaching conclusions and recording results. . He said that the question of claims of American citizens against Spain bad occupied much of the time and had been the subject of much anxious thought, on the part of the commission, but that there was no other practical solution of the problem in view of the poverty of Spain, and, in fact, no other policy was compatible with the reputation of the United States as a nation which knew how to be generous as well as just. He said there were about $12,000,000 of these claims, and possibly the amount might reach $15,000,000 Spain had agreed as an offset to this concession on our part to pay the claims of , Spanish citizens against the United States govern ment, but Senator Frye admitted that the aggregate of these coun ter claims was not large. Senator Frye also said that the commissioners had felt" that they were justified in drawing upon the generosity of this country in agree ing to pay $20,000,000 to Spain for the improvements made by the Spanish government and in con ceding to them for a term of years the same privileges as claimed for the United States in the matter of trade in the line of the precedents set by the most civilized nations. Great Gritain's policy had been in the line of a constant extension of the open door policy, but whether or not the United States meant to adopt this policy upon the whole, he felt sure tii.it history would commend the course ia the present instance. ! Deters Poor Men. ' Sacramento, Jan. 27.- A special committee appointed to investigate the scandals connected with the election of a United States senator filed its report today. I The committee finds that Howard S. Wright, Speaker of the Assem bly, received from U. S. Grant, Jr., through his manager. Milton J. Green, $900 as a gift and $750 as a loan. Milton J. Green, the report further states, as the duly appoint ed and accredited agent of U. S. Grant, Jr., expended large sums of money, exceeding in the aggregate $20,000, to secure the election of a Republican legislature. The committee finds that D. M. Burns, Robert N. Bulla, W. II. L Barnes and the other senatorial candidates, except Grant, expended np money and promised no patron age to promote their respective candidates. r lt is recommended by the com mittee of investigation "that the expenditure of large sums of money in aid of the candidacy of a United States senator is wrong and repre hensible in that it is calculated to corruupt morals, to debauch the political system, to deter poor men of ability from entering 1 upon a senatorial campaign and to give to the rich an unwarranted and un justifiable advantage over men of equal ability, and qualifications, but of limited means. The receiving of money by legislative candidates from probable senatorial candi dates, either directly or indirectly in aid of their candidacy, is repre hensible for the same reason." egro Troops and White Officers Hecoxnmended. Washington, Jan. 27. Surgeon General Sternberg has made pub lic the report of Lieutenant Colonel OfReilly, chief surgeon of the De partment of Cuba, relative to the British method of caring for troops in the tropics. As a result Dr. OBeilly recommends that troops intended for Cuban service should be recruited in the South and be colored, with white officers, to a great extent. They should be sent in November after the rainy season. No improvement is needed in the ration, and night service should be avoided. Fresh Garden Seed at Gardner's, cor. opp. postoffice.
