HE TABLED THE BILL.
Letter From Lee, of Haywood, Who
Tabled Hileman’* Bad Bill.
Waynesvillf., N. C., April 4.
To the Editor of the News and Observer:
In regard to the assignment bill which
seems, in some way, to have passed the
Legislature, I desire to say that Mr.
Smith,j.of Stanly, introduced a bill to pre
vent preferences in assignments, as 1
understood it; after having had several
conversations with him in regard to it,
when the bill was reported by the Fi
nance Committee, Mr. Smith told me
that it was not the original, but a sub
stitute, understood to have been pre
pared by Hileman, Chairman of the
Committee. I was opposed to the Smith
bill, and when I learned that it
had been amended, at the in
stance of Mr. Hileman, I was
more than ever opposed to it, believing
that mischief would result to the busi
ness interests of the State if radical leg
islation should be had along this line.
And Mr. Smith came to me aud said that
he would have nothing further to do
with it, inasmuch as the substitute had
changed the purposes of his bill. Sub
sequently I called up the bill aud moved
to lay it on the table, stating at the time
that it was a dangerous bill. The mo
tion was carried by a large majority, the
Democrats voting in the affirmative sol
idly.
I never heard of the bill any more
until I noticed in the papers after the
Legislature had adjourned that it had
become a law.

PASSED BOGUS CHECKS.
An Alleged Fruit Tree Agent Swindles
Merchants With Forged Checks.
Special to the News and Observer.
Goldston, N. C., April 10.
On last Friday, the sth inst., a young
man passing himself off as a fruit tree
agent, and working for J. Van Lindley,
I passed through here and had a check on
the National Bank of Greensboro with I
J. Van Lindley’s name to it, and drawn
in favor of A. M. Nichols, cashed by
Bynum and Paschal. They only sent it
off yesterday and have as yet heard noth-,
ingfrom it, but they are now sure it is a
forgery. Mr. J. W. Mclntyre, of Gulf,
(next station below here), was here yes
terday, and said the same man was in
his store and got one off on him exactly
like the one cashed here, for the same
amount (#10). He sent it to the bank
Saturday and the bank returned it say
ing it was a forgery, and there is no
doubt but Bynum and Paschal’s is too.
The fellow was about 5 feet 11 inches
tail, dark skin, dark hair and mustache,
and weighed about 150 pounds. He
may have defrauded others above and
below here on this road, (C. F. & Y. V.)
He ought to be caught and punished.
The Forger Caught.
Greensboro, N. C., April 10.
A white m >n named Cau-ey was cap
tured and p’a :ed in jail here to-day for
forging the name of Mr. J. Van Lindley,
of this place tocbecks, and passing them.
He had been doing this successfully for
S' runtime without being caught. Last
night, however, he was discovered in a
barn asleep.
Uamage to Farms by Rain.
Special to the News and Observer.
Franklinton, N. C., April 10.
The recent rain storm and cloud-burst
was very disastrous to farmers in this |
section. Some of the large farms are!
damaged at least #SOO to #I.OOO. All
fertilizer that was put in the ground,
and in many instances the entire soil, is j
washed away. Cotton planting will be
thrown behind at least ten days.
The Stronghold ol Health.
s soon carried by the assaults of malari
but if Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is em j
ployed as a bulwark against the disease !
absolute safety is attained. The tnos |
virulent forms of disease bred by miasm;*
tainted air and water, soon yield to the
creative and combative infiflence of this
efficient safeguard, which fortifies the
system as no other medicine up to date i
has ever done. It counteracts a tend
ency to rheumatism, neuralgia and kid
ney complaints, overcomes indigestion
nervousness, constipation and liver trou
bles, improves the appetite and promo
tes digestion. Taking for all, it is pr >- 1
bably the most useful family remedy i
existence, and is popular as well as effec
tive. Use it systematically, not at irreg
ular intervals.
The Lincolnton correspondent of the
Charlotte Observer pays a high tribute
to the magnificent speech of Judge j
Sehenck, who defended Z W. Ward, Jr ,
for killing John Logan, colored. It was
“the speech of his life,” and his client
was acquitted.

Gentlemen:—Having seen Mexican riustang Lini
ment extensively advertised here induces me to tell you
how useful it Is to persons in the livery business I have
used it for the past 18 years on my horses for almost every
thing that horses are subject to. For sprains and stiff joints
Ido not think it has an equal, and for such things as
harness galls and rubs it is wonderful.
I once had a very fine driver who was thrown from his car
riage in a runaway and so severely bruised about his shoul
ders and breast that I did not think lie would ever be able
to get on a carriage again. I remembered, however, what
Mexican Mustang Liniment did for my horses in case of
bruises and had him use it constantly, and in about two
weeks he was as good a driver as ever, and not an ache or
pain remained.
I know you must get tired of receiving such letters, but
I thought I would add one more testimonial to the useful
ness of Mustang Liniment. Yours truly,
W. H. LANCASTER.
