Something about j Drinking.. In 'Warm
. Weatber.
,; Drinking is a habit.. Some people drink lit
tie, not because their constitutions require
less than others ; It is their habit These peo
pie inever perspire ;so much as those who
drink, more.. The more that is drunk, the
more water passes away, or the system would
sufier.' As it U. the strain sffects It. The
skin, the kidneys, bowels, lungs, are all drawn
upon.. The result Is, as may be expected, , ex
haustion. For this reason the man who drinks
much water, particularly ;durlng the summer
and In the hottest weather,' Is less ab!e to en
dure fatigue. The water Is of no benefit to
him that is, the excess; ' It must pass" away,
and this requires aa effort of the system,
which Is the sweating process. It Is a bad
habit to drink water so much ; a false thirst
Is created. - We . should drink only what is
needed. "J The habit of drinking more will soon
be otercome, 'and the person, will feel .much
stronger and more capable of bearing fatigue
In winter, little fluid Is; needed1 beyond what
our food furnishes ; in summer, some more,
but not much.'-,-V-? T , .;

AND BVTHEBFOBD BAILBOAD.
The Journal In its leading editorial yesterday
morning . insists with great truth, - that -the
early completion of this railroad Is most im
portant to the material' welfare of this city.
To this we assent, : but do strongly dissent
frpm the further proposition that thia im
portant result can only be attained by first
surrendering the road to the bondholders-
residents of another State.
But is the surrender of the road necessarv f
Mr. Martin in his last regular report to the
stockholders, presented for acceptance an Act
passed by the Geueral Assembly of North Ca
rolina, ratified February 8tb, 1872, entitled
" An Act to Enable the Wilmington, Charlotte
and Rutherford Railroad Company to Com
plete Its Road and Extend Its road to the Ten
nessee Line," and in connection therewith, he
saia : " ine Act presented to you to day for
your consideration - having. passed it was con
sidered entirely practicable to finish the road and
prevent foreclosure: '-' " s " :"'
" lhe principal bondholders had made up
their minds to assist materially in the comple
tion of the road from Wadesboro to Charlotte
by the use of the Second Mortgage Bonds and
stock. The whole negotiation would have
been successfully carried through but ior the
decision of the Suprsme Court of the State,
made at Us fall term, dissolving an Injunction
granted by the Superior Court of New Han
over county, against the use by Western
Railroad Company, of Fayettevile, of $500,000
juco vaiae, ui me Donas oi your company
placed in the 8tate Treasury, to secure the
State from loss by reason of the exchange
maae oy your company with the State and
which by acts of the Legislature had been a
first, then second, and now a third lien upon
the property of the company. At the time of
the donation of these bonds to the Western
Railroad they constituted a second mortgage
upon your road, by some learned in law after
lour millions, by others after two and a-half
"millions. . . . . - .
"Whatever maybe .their legal staius, it is
quite evident they would entirely defeat the
sale of the Second Mortgage Bonds, authoriz
ed by the act ratified 12th of March; 1870, au
thorizing the Issue of $2,500,000 bonds,
- "Efforts have been made to obtain these
bonds from the Western Rail Road Company
but without success."
Now here, Mr. President Martin ' says dis
tinctly, that but for the obduracv of the West
ern Rail Road Company it was "entirely prac-
ucaDie to nnisn the Koad and prevent fore
closure." We have positive information that
this only impediment in Mr. Martin's way has
been removed and a satisfactory compromise
has been proposed between the W., C. &. R.
R. R. Co., and the Western Railroad Company.
Hence we quote Mr. President Martin as our
authority lor saying; the, Road can now be
completed by the stockholders and fore
closure prevented. "LUera scripta manet."
We shall bold Mr. Martin to the record.
Again. Mr. Martin estimates the annual re
ceipts of the Road at about $304,000 an under
estimate we mink. These receipts greatly
Increase with every mile of Road extension.
The operating expenses of the Road are es
timated at ou per cent or its receipts, which
deducted from the estimated income, would
leave $152,000 to be applied to the payment of
interest aue Donanoiaere. The total Interest
due bondholders cannot exceed $160,000, even
If the $600,000 issued by President Sloan be ad
mitted to have been a legal issue, and of this
there is serious doubt;
Se that in the very worst aspect In which
the present condition of - this Road . may be
viewed we cannot Dut come to the conclusion
announced by Mr. Martin in the last meeting
of the stockholders that the Road can now
be completed and foreclosure prevented."
In spite of these facts however; In spite of
the removal of the only alleged hindrance to
the completion of the Road, viz : the refusal ef
tbe Western ' Railroad Company to Comoro.
mlse; la spite of the further fact that Mr. Mar
tin was elected President of this Road bv the
Stockholders, as their" servant, to protect de-
. J J J ,x - - , .
icuu auu auvauco utetr interests, ne now ap
pears as the strongest advocate for the sur
render of ! the Road to tbe Bondholders,
and :for its foreclosure, which ho has thus
admitted was unnecessary. .
In the estimate above we have made a verv
full allowance for the operating expenses of
tne j&oaa. uy reierence to Mr. ii. S. Union's
report to the stockholders in 1870 it will be
seen that Mr. Guion states these expenses as
only 86 per centum of gross receipts.
Under these circumstances shall this impor
tant Railroad, so valuable to Wilmington, in
which the city holds stock to the extent of
4000 shares, and in which also many of our citi
zens nave liDeraiiy invested, be quietly sur
rendered and sold for the benefit of a few
Bondholders, who have bought its Bonds at
fifty per cent discount? The dolngso, would
be suicidal by us. .
The Road is estimated, exclusive of the fran
chise, as worth $6,000,000. The Bonds on ac
count of which lhe sale of the Road is now
sought only amount to $2,000,000 for which
less than $1,000,000 in cash was paid. , The ex
pense of completing and equipping tbe Road
to cnanotte win not exceed $1,000,000 more.
do that for an expenditure of $2,000,000 these
Bondholders, whose liberality Is vaunted in
the-' JournaV1 will get possession of property
worth over $6.000,000 J .. ,i -,
' But the Bondholders we are told propose to be
very magnanimous If no opposition is made' to
this . little -" job;" Let us see what they do
propose. . ""r ' !
They offer to give stockholders .certificates
of equal shares of stock in the new. road with
those now held by them this, though, after
nrst issuing to tnemseives f s,uuu,uuu of pre
ferred stock and first mortgage bonds thus
seen ring to themselves a clear profl t of
$6,000,000, the excess of profit over which they
generously surrender to the stockholders, and
from this liberal proposition they even, ex.
pressly exclude the city of Wilmington, of
whose nnanciai anairs Mr-- Martin has, until
recently, Deen tne guardian. i ; t

1 ' ; SUGGESTIONS FOB SUMMER. 1
It is of great importance that the system
should be in a' vigorous condition when the
hot weather commences. - The effects of a
high temperature upon an enfeebled frame
are always more or less disastrous. ; The loss
of substance and the declension of nervous
power, occasioned by excessive heat, can only
be compensated by the active, healthful and
regular exercise of all the bodily functions by
which the waste of nature la replenished and
the vital energies renewed.' The great utility
ol Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as a means ot
toning, invigorating and regulating the or
gans of the body, is universally acknowledg
ed. As a tonio it stimulates the flagging ap
petite and accelerates digestion ; as a correc
tive it neutralizes acidity of the stomach and
relieves flatulency ; as an alterative, and mild
aperient it regulates the liver and the bowels;
aa an anodyne It promotes tranquil sleep j as
a wholesome stimulant it imparts firmness
and elasticity to the relaxed and trembling
nerves, and as a blood depureat it purifies the
vital stream. The value of such a speciflo to
the weak and debilitated is beyond all "esti
mate. To invalids wilted down by the sultry
heat of midsummer, it is as refreshing and
vitalizing as the cool night dew to the sun
scorched flowers. Composed of vegetable
elements only, with a basis of pure diffusive
stimulant, it la safe and , palatable as well as
mediciaaL In fever and ague districts, and
wherever the natural conditions are condu
cive to epidemic disease, it is considered the
best safeguard against malarious infection,
and the speediest remedy for Intermittent
and remittent fevers.
