ORANGE COUNTY OBSERVER.; H illsF^^ THURSDAY, May 5, 1898. Published Every Thursday. JGSEP H XT HAR IIIS 7 P u b 17s her and Owner. Congressman Kitchen, of this Dis trict, in order to avert the increased internal revenue taxation on tobacco, and at the same time provide rev enue to conduct the war, has intro duced a bill to coin the silver bul lion now in the Treasury : also to issue, if necessary, §500,000,000 of Ie gal tender notes, redeemable at sta ted periods, until 1909 We return thanks to Representative Kitchin for a copy of bis bill. * * While everybody is more or less interested in the war between our country and Spain, don't let us for get that matters ot importance will soon claim our attention at home. The Democratic County Executive Committee has called the Demo cratic primaries, to elect delegates to the County Convention, for Sat urday, May 14th. The County Con vention will meet on the following Saturday. May 21st. This Conven tion will elect delegates to the State, Judicial and Congressional Conven tions. Millions Given Away. It is certainly gratifying to the public to know of one concern in the land who are not afraid to be generous to the needy and suffering. The proprietors of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, have given away over ten millions trial bottles of this great medicine and have the satisfaction of knowing it has absolutely cured thousands of hopeless cases. Asthma. Bronchitis, Hoarseness and all dis eases of the Throat, Chest and Lungs are surely cured by it. Call on W. A. Hayes, Druggist, and get a trial bottle free, regular size 50c. and Si. Every bottle guaranteed, or price refunded. —“Sure an’ the trouble is with the twins, mum. One of them is cryin’ because he swallowed bis rat tle, and the other is bowlin’ out o’ sympathy, and betwixt the two of them bawlin’ I can’t tell which one swallowed the rattle.”—Harper’s Ba- The Oreat INaval Battle^ at Alauilla. London, May 2d.-The Madrid correspondent of the Times describ ing the engagement at Manilla, says: “The Olympia, the Boston, the Raleigh, the Concord, the Petrel and the Monocacy, entered the bay under cover of darkness by the smaller and safer Bocachia channel. The forts of Corregidor island gave the alarm by firing on the intruders, but they seem to have inflicted no serious damage. The American squadron moved up the bay, and at 3 o’clock in the morning appeared before Cavite. Here, lying undei the shelter of the forts, was the Spanish fleet. “Soon the Americans opened fire. The Spaniards replied vigorously, and the combat continued without interruption for four hours, during which the Don Antonin de Uiloa was sunk, the Castilla and Mindanao were set on fire and the Reina Maria Christina and the Don Juan de Austria were seriously damaged. One or two of the smaller craft were scuttled by their crews to es cape capture. Others took refuge in a small neighboring creek empty ing into Baker bay, where presum ably the American ships were una ble to follow them. But not one surrendered.” Paris, May 2.—A dispatch from Madrid to the Temps says : “No Spanish warship surrendered and the majority perished. Two Spanish commanders were killed while resisting to the last moment. “The Spanish losses are estimated at four hundred men killed, besides many natives.” The Best Remedy for Rheuma tism. From the Fairhaven (N. Y.) Reg ister. Mr. James Rowland of this vil lage, states that for twenty-five years his wife has been a sufferer from rheumatism. A few nights ago she was in such pain that she was nearly crazy. She sent Mrv Rowland for the doctor, but he had read of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and in stead of going for the physician he went to the store and secured a bot tle of it. His wife did not approve of Mr. Rowland’s purchase at first, but nevertheless applied the balm thoroughly and in an hour’s time was able to go to sleep. She now applies it whenever she feels an ache or a pain and finds that it al ways gives relief. He says that no medicine which she had used ever did her as much good. The 25 and 50 cent sizes for sale by W. A. Hayes, Druggist. Why He ixINot C^oisiM An Old Negro’s Idea of the Big Guns Now in Use. zar. —M. L. Yocum, Cameron, Pa., says: “I was a sufferer for ten years, trying most all kinds of pile reme dies, but without success. DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve was recommend ed to roe. I used one box. It has effected a permanent cure.” As a permanent cure for piles DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve has no equal. W. A. Hayes. — Mr. Isaacs—“I sells you dot coat at a gread sacrifice.” Customer—“But you say that of all your goods. How do you make a living ?” Mr. Isaacs—“Mein frient. I makes a Hcbmall profit on de paper and string.” Bucklen’s Arnica Salve. The best Salve in the world for Cuts, Bruises, Sores, Ulcers.

A good story was being told on the streets yesterday of a negro's idea of modern warfare. An old negro was asked if he was going to Cuba to fight. “No, sah, dis chile ain’t er gwine no whar. Ain’t you heerd about dem big guns what dey got now ?” “No, what about them ?” “Why, dey’s de most powerfuBesi guns you ever saw. They shoot fif teen miles, then the ball rolls six miles and blows up and it rains rocks and bullets tor three days. Umph, uin! Dis chile ain’t gwine to no wa’.”—Raleigh News and Ub server. —It is a great leap from the old fashioned doses ot blue-mass and nauseous physics to the pleasant lit tle pills known as DeWitt’s Early Risers They cure constipation, sick headache and biliousness. W. A. Hayes. [Kansas City Star.] Very soon after war begins in earnest Americans will be reminded that war means loss and burdens, possibly sorrow and privation even to the victorious. In that event tl e natural consequences of war should be m ( et with that silent fortitude which is the highest form of courage. [Winston Journal] ( The People’s National Bank of this city is U S. depository, and as the revenue office cannot tike checks, the bank attends to orderng stamps for its customers We lei rii 1 from the revenue office this mornng that a gentleman from the country recently sent the bank §11 for a brandy stamp, but neglected to en close the necessary papers there with. The bank therefore could act send the stamp and returnod to him a cashier’s check for the amount ask ing for the papers to be sent biek with it. Upon receiving the check the countryman immediately paaed and tacked it securely upon the tar- rel of brandy and sent it on its ois sion. When be found bis error ibis morning he told Mr. Reynolds that he never had seed a white stamp be- tore and thought it darned curicus, but guessed she'd go all right. — A torpid liver robs you ot am bition and ruins your health. De Will’s Little Early Risers cleaise the liver, cure constipation and all stomach and liver troubles. W. A. Hayes. —Never put off till to-morrow what you can get somebody else to do for you to-day. —Thity five years make a genera tion. That is bow long Adolph Fisher, o( Zanesville, O., suffered from piles. He was cured by using three boxes of DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve. W. A. Hayes. — If fresh air could be sold in bottles ali other health tonics would be run out of the masket. — Children like it, it eaves their lives. We mean One Minute Cough Cure, the infallible remedy for coughs, colds, croup, bronchitis, grippe, and all throat and lung troubles. W. A. Hayes. — General M. W. Ransom sold one day last week on the Tarboro market, to Mr. Will Hart, of that town, 948 bales of cotton from his Northampton farm, for which he drew the amount of §23,837.—En field Enterprise. —The farmer, the mechanic and the bicycle rider are liable to unex peeled cuts and bruises. DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve is the best thing to keep on hand. It heals quickly, and is a well known cure for piles. W. A. Hayes. Preparing for War. In preparing for war, Congress will use all efforts to reduce suffer ing in the East and North The South does not need their help in ihis line. We have Rice’s Goose Grease that cures all forms ot rheum atism, gout, croup, coughs and cold? Sold by all druggists and genera! stores. Always guaranteed. [Salisbury Sun.] A colored woman at Spencer Thursday afternoon, while the train load of soldiers was passing, watch ed them, and, negro-like, uncon sciously held her mouth open. After the train was gone she found sh* could not shut her mouth She had opened it wide enough to dislocate her jaw. Dr. J. S. Brown found it ne cessary to pul the woman to sleep belore she could shut her mouth. The Message of McKinlay Will say don’t let your store of Rice's Goose Grease fall into the hands of the Spaniards.

Smithfield Herald : Not long ago two Mormon elders approached a certain man’s house hi this county with the intention of spending Ihe night there. One of them address ed ibe gentleman of the house in this manner : “Sir, ibe Lord told us to come here and you would allow us to spend the night.” “That may be true,” replied the farmer, “but I have seen the Lord since and he re quested me to tell you to move on.” Newton Enterprise : A gentleman from Gaston tells us ot two effects the war talk is having in that coun ty. It has made it impossible for farmers to gel any fertilizer unless they have the money to pay down. Fertilizer dealers will not run the risk of being able to collect their notes in the fall. Another effect is the unprecedented activity in matri monial affairs. The report some bow got oat that Gov. Russell had said that be would leave at least one man at home to each family Consequently there has been a great boom in iho family establishment business. Charlotte News : Quarter Master Rivenbank, of the Confederate Vet erans, received a very interesting letter this morning from Col. Julian S. Carr, of Durham, saying that he would be here for the 20th with 100 Confederate Veterans, from Camp R. T. Webb, ofDurham. He writes to inquire about board and room ac commodations. The expenses of the trip will be met by Mr. Carr at the cost of about §700. Most of the veterans who will accompany him are unable to pay any part of their expenses, and Mr. Carr wants to know where good board and accom modations can be bad for them at reasonable rates. Concord Times: R. W. Allison. Concord's oldest citizen, who is now in his ninetieth year, informs us that he was once postmaster here. He was appointed in 1833, by Post master General McLean, and served three years. Mr. Allison was a Whig, but was appointed by a Dem ocratic administration. The post- office was in one of the Reed build ings. The postoffice at that time was fourth-class, of course, and paid the postmaster about §150. Mr. Al lison informs us that mail was re ceived here three times a week. Concord was on the route from Greensboro to Yorkville, S. C., and the mail was carried overland, as there was no railroad then. Statesville Mascot: Dr. J. F Long sued E L. Freeze, of Shiloh township, for a §42.50 doctor’s bill and the trial was had before W. C. Mills, Esq., Monday. In the course of the trial Mr. Freeze set up a counter claim, alleging that on one occasion a cow belonging to Dr. Long was “conjured,” that he was sent for and ‘ unconjured” her and that his services were worth §15 As he only trade one visit profes sionally to the cow, ’Squire Mills cat down the fee to §2, the same price as one ot Dr. Long's visits to Mr. Freeze and gave judgment to Dr. Long for §40 50, the balance of his bill This is the first judicial ruling on the fee of a “conjuring” practitioner in the Slate and will no doubt be of great interest both to the legal and medical profession. Winston Sentiuel : A man by the name of Parker, who lives in Davie county, claims that he was boiso- whipped a few nights ago by a fol low named Smith, assisted by th^ latter’s sou and nephew, Parker’s story is to the effect that the men came to his house late in the night while he was in bed and demanded admittance. This being refused they took a rail and broke down the door. One of them grabbed his head and one of his legs, and carried him out of the bouse and gave him an unmerciful beating and left him for dead. He fainted while they were beating him. The Times says Parker was in Mocksville this week, and several people saw the lashes on bis legs. The wounds had the ap pearance of being cut with a knife more so than with a whip. He got out a warrant for the arrest of the three men, bat they have not been arrested. The men who did the whipping charge Parker with re porting the men for blockading.
