By a vote of 184 to 11 the House
ot Representatives decided to pro
pose a constitutional amendment
making Senators elective by the
people.
Two men were killed and seven
injured on the American ships in
the bombardment at San Juan. The
ships were not injured, and the fleet
sailed for Key West after the bom
bardment.
Since the declaration of war the
United States navy has taken nine
Spanish steamers, nine schooners,
two sloops and several fishing
smacks, not to mention the destruc
tion of the Spanish fleet at Manila.
The value of the ships taken as prize
money is $3,000,000. The Spaniards
have taken one American boat val
ued at $40,000.

.A. 11 Honored ^OI1.
It is with a great degree of pride
that we chronicle the success of a
son of a sister C unty and town
We refer to Mr. Wi lia»n App Jones,
son of Mr. James E Jones, of Hills
boro, N. C., and grandson of Mr. T.
K. Glenn, one of Person County’s
oldest and most intelligent citizens.
Mr. Jones entered Wake Forest
College in 1889, where he developed
a phenomenal capacity as a student,
graduating in 1893, with aegree of
A. B. After a year with t he Dal
ton Farrow Tobacco Co., Winston,
N. C , he returned to Wake Forest
for special work in Chemistry and
German. In 1895 Mr. Jones began
studies in Johns Hopkins Univer
sity of Baltimore, and there, as we
learn, he has attained to a remark
able success and distinction. For
two years he held a North Carolina
scholarship and in June last was ap
pointed Senior Fellow of the Chem
ical Department, an honorary as
well as lucrative position. He was
elected also by his fellow-students
President of one of the Chemical
Societies ot the University, and re
cently has bad the honor of being
elected to the Phi. Beta Kappa So
ciety of Maryland by reason of his
scholarship.
He will on June 14th, next, be
graduated from the University with
the degree of Doctor of Philosophy,
having secured the highest honors io
the gift of the Hopkins University.
Mr. Jones’ career is an honor to
North Carolina and his college; and
we doubt not that he will be heard
from in the scientific world.

[For the Observer.
Nothing brings us so near to God
as humility. Nothing removes us
so far from Hirn as pride
W. H. N.
An Enterprising Druggist.
There are few men more wid
e
awake than W. A. Hayes, the Drug
gist, who spares no pain to secure
the best of everything in his line
for his many customers. He now
has the valuable agency for Dr.
King’s New Discovery for Consump
tion, Coughs and Colds. This is
the wonderful remedy that is pro
duffing such a furor all over the
country by its many startling cures.
It absolutely cures Asthma, Bron
chitis, Hoarseness and all affections
of the Throat, Chest and Lungs.
Call at above drug store and get a
trial bottle free or a regular size for
50 cents and $1.00. Guaranteed to
cure or money refunded.
— S. E. Parker, Sharon, Wis.,
writes:—“I have tried DeWitt’s
Witch Hazel Salve for itching piles
and it always stops them in two
minutes. I consider DeWitt’s Witch
Hazel Salve the greatest pile cure
on the market.” W. A Hayes.
Each regiment of North Carolina
Volunteers is now not only divided
into companies but into battallions.
Four companies form a battaihon,
three battallions form a regiment,
each company has a battalion and
each battallion has a Major. The
Majors of the three battallions
of the First Regiment are Geo-ge
E. Butler, of Sampson county. Geo.
Rutzler, of Charlotte, and W. G.
Smith, of Asheville. It will be no
ticed that a regiment now has twelve
com] anies instead ot ten.
Uneasy lies the head that wears a
crown, yet some of the wearers of
crowns are fairly well paid for their
uneasiness. The income of the Em
peror ot Russia for one day is about
$25,000; that of the Sultan of Tur
key, $18,000; Emperor of Austria,
$5,000; Emperor ot Germany, $8,
000; King ot Italy, $6,500, and the
King of Belgium $6,500. The Pres
ident of the United States receives
about $130 per day.
— S C. P. Jones, Milesburg, Pa,,
whites:—“I have used DeWitt’s
Little Early Risers ever since they
were introduced here and must say
I have never used any pills in my
family during forty years of house
keeping that gave such satisfactory
results as a laxative or cathartic.”
W. A. Hayes.
The first stockings ever made
were worn in Italy about the year
1100; people before that bandaged
their feet in cloth.
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 Mr. 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.
—Late to bed and early to rise,
prepares a man tor his home in the
skies Early io bed and a Lillie
Early Riser, the pill that makes life
longer and belter and wiser. W.
A. Hayes.
—The Raleigh Post says: Ensign
Worth Bagley, is not only the firtt
American soldier or sailor to fall in
the present war, but the first real
Southerner to fail in the uniform of
the United States service since the
Mexican war, fifty years ago.
—The Cuban question and politi
cal issues sink into insignificance
with the man who suffers with piles.
What he most desires, is relief. De-
Witl’s Witch Hazel Salve cures
piles. W. A Hayes.
—The next session of the North
Carolina Teacheris’ Assembly will
be held in Asheville, June 14th to
ihe 18th. An interesting programme
has been prepared.
— S. M. Geary, Pierson, Mich.,
writes :—“DeWitt’s Witch Hazel
Salve is curing more piles here to
day than all other remedies com
bined. It cures eczema and all
other skin diseases.” W. A. Hayes.
—If this war business be closed
up in time for the 4ih of July won’t
the boys burn powder.—Wilming
ton Star. Yes; and it it is not
closed up before then, won’t the
boys have to burn a great deal more
powder ?
— One minute is not long, yet re-
lief is obtained in half that time by
the use of One Minnte Cough Core
Il prevents consumption and quickly
cures colds, croup, bronchitis, pneu
monia, la grippe and all throat ami
lung troubles. W. A. Hayes.
Charlotte News: At the ap
proaching term of the June Crim
jnal Court there are four capital
cases to be tried. This is something
unheard of in the history of Meck
lenburg county.
Kinston Free Press: Mr. J. M.
Mewborne, superintendent of the
penitentiary, came Friday afternoon
from Wilmington. He had been to
inspect the Slate farm at Castle
Hayne. He informs us that 5,100
acres of the State farms are planted
in cotton, 265 acres in lowland rice,
4,700 acres in corn, 600 acres in pea
nuts, 700 acres in wheat and 1,500
acres in oats.
Durham Sun: We were shown
to-day some of the richest and pret
tiest copper ore we have had the
privilege of seeing in some time. It
was taken from the copper mine of
Dake, Baldwin & Heartt—all Dur
ham men—situated in Granville
county, near Virginia, the copper
mining section. This ore is taken
out at a depth of seventy feet with
great ease, and is pronounced very
rich.
Durham Herald: Jule Carr de
serves a eulogy one mile long, for
the assurance to our brave boys,
that while they are away, at the call
of duty, fighting against Spain, he
will fight against “want” in their
homes here. This is one of the least
items of Jule Carr’s generosity and
noble christian character, and no
eulogy of ours can exceed that one
which he is building up at the Sav
ior’s right hand.
A woman in Newton besought
her son not to volunteer, and fol
lowed him to the train begging bun
to stay with her, but he refused, and
when the train left bearing her bov
away, she was so overcome that she
sank upon the platform in a swoon.
We have no respect for patriotism
that excels love for a mother, wheu
there is no necessity for it in the
particular individual. That boy may
be a good patriotic citizen but we
should hesitate to rely upon his pa
triotism, or any other quality in him.

Aza Old Idea.
Every day strengthens the belief of emi
nent physicians that impure blood is the
cause of the majority of our diseases.
Twenty-five years ago this theory was used
as a basis for the formula of Browns’ Iron
Bitters. The many remarkable cures elected
by this famous old household remedy are
sufficient to prove that the theory is correct.
Browns’ Iron Bitters is sold by all dealers.

THE MEW WAY.
YEOMEN used
to think “fe
male diseases ”
could only be
treated after “lo
cal examina
tions” by physi
cians. Dread of
such treatment
kept thousands of
modest women
silent about their
suffering. Thein-
troduction of
Wine of Cardui has now demon
strated that nine-tenths of all the
cases of menstrual disorders do
not require a physician’s attention
at all. The simple, pure
-t w^w 1^1
WW
taken in the privacy of a woman’s
own home insures quick relief and
speedy cure. Women need not
hesitate now. Wine of Cardui re
quires no humiliating examina
tions for its adoption. It cures any
disease that comes under the head
of “female troubles”—disordered
menses, falling of the womb,
“whites,” change of life. Itmakes
women beautiful by making them
well. It keeps them young by
keeping them healthy. $1.00 at
the drug store.
