WHEN BABY IS COMING USE Mother’s Friend. Woman’# greatest dream cf beauty and glory is when nature has chosen her to become a mother. Every faculty is keenly alert and her nature the finest as she fore sees theioy, the ambition, the success and the life-ions: satisfaction coming, coming nearer, day by day, in the dear and innocent being so soon to see light, and the very uncertainty whether she shall see a sweet girl face or a brave boy face beside her on the pillow, adds zest to her expectancy. Then, if ever, sho should take care of her physical, mental and moral health. MOTHER’S FRIfcND applied externally throughout pregnancy will relieve the pain of parturition, and no mother and child can fail to be healthy, hearty, strong, clear com plex ioned, pure blooded, calm nerved and cheerful in disposition, who are mutually influenced for months by the continued use of Mother’s Friend.

The annual meeting of the trustees of the University was held in the Gover nor’s office yesterday at noon. Governor Aycock presided. The following were present: Governor C- B. Aycoek, 0- M. Arrufleld, C. T. Bailey, R. H. Battle, V- P. Bryant, F. H. Burke, Josephus Dan iels, W. H. Day, R. A. Daughton. It. M. Furman. J. W. Kenan. RAH. Lewis. P- B- Means, Chas. McNamee, Jas. Parker, Cl. B. Patterson, N. A. Ramsey, Z. B. Walser, H. Well, and President Venable. president Venable s report. President Venable, who was present, made the following report: To the Board of Trustees: Gentlemen: According to the sugges tion made at your last meeting, a full re port as to the condition of the Univer sity has already been placed in your hands. Since the publication of that re port, the University has suffered a groat loss *.n the death of Henry Farrar Lias coot, Professor of Latin. For six years Professor Linseott has been connected with the University —one year as Instruc tor and five years as Professor. His scholarly attainments were of a high or der and he made a deep Impression upon both students and faculty. During all these years he has served the University faithfully and well, cheerfully doing everything in his power for its strength ening and development. He will be greatly missed in the class-room and in all that makes up the life of the Uni versity. It only remains for me in this* sup plementary report to transmit, the re ports given by the professors of the va rious deartments placed in their charge. It is gratifying to see that all report growth and increased efficlbnsy in their departments. The Department of Medicine at Chapel llill has had 75 students in attendance this session and will be unable to prop erly instruct a larger (lumber unless increased laboratory and lecture space is furnished for them. The Department at Raleigh, in which the last two years of the medical training are given, has open ed under most favorable circumstances. The thoroughly satisfactory manner in which the work has been done this fall insures the future success of the school and the indications are for an attendance next session of as many students as can bo accommodated- The Doan, Dr. Hu bert A. Royster, writes enthusiastically as to the future of the department, and I agree with him fully that it is des tined to be one of the most important in the University. It seems to me that it would be wise, as soon as practicable, to establish in connection with it a De partment of Dentistry, and, I trust this will bo done in the near future. The of Law has a regis tration of students exceeded only once in its history. As soon as possible, consid erable additions should be made to the Law Library. More use is made of this collection than of any other section of the General Library- The Department of Pharmacy has an increase o. out thirty (30) per cent, over the largest number previously in at tendance. It is doing excellent work for the profession in the State. The scientific departments all report that good work is being done. Some are overcrowded with students and more room must be secured lor their work. This is especially true in the Departments of Biology and Chemistry. Tn oil of them books, charts, models, and appara tus are needed. The character of the work done is shown by the following facts: The Geo logical Department has sent out within the past two years eight men who have places in the U- S. Soil Survey, and sev eral others who have positions in mining, scenic geological work, or State surveys. A large number has been sent out by the Department of Chemistry, twelve within the past two years. Since Sep tember, ten applications for trained chemists have been received which could not be filled- The present laboratory af fords space for only about twelve men in the highest analytical classes. More space is pressingly needed so that more men may be trained. Our young chemists have made a fine reputation for themselves and the University, and it wilt not do that any should be deprived of the opportunity of securing this train ing. Some further evidences as to the char acter of the work done in these depart ments may be given. Thirty-four scien tific papers have been published from them within the past two years. At the Pittsburg meeting of the American Chemical Society one-ninth of all the pa pers presented came from the labora tory of the University of North Caro lina- At the meeting of the Scientific Societies in Washington, the University was represented by fourteen delegates and six papers were presented. As a further evidence, it is gratifying to know that the Carnegie Institution has appropriated SI,OOO to aid Professor Duarden in his work upon the corals. The American Association for the Ad vancement of Science has appropriated Slf.O to Professor Baskerville for his re searches upon Thorium. The National Academy has added S3OO for the same work and the Welsbach Light Company has presented him with preparations to be used in this work valued at SI,OOO. These appropriations and gifts have been made because the great value of the work already done was recognized and there was promise of yet more valuable re sults. The growing reputation of the Univer sity in these lines draws students to our laboratories, but 1 am confronted by this serious difficulty. These laboratories aro already congested to a point which threatens the excellence of the work. I have''already pointed this out to the Trustees. making the only suggestion which sbemod feasible to me. The pres ent chemical laboratory cost about $lO,- 000- It was adapted to the instruction of ]."O men. but is not largo enough for 367, the present number in the classes. In 1900-01 the number was 253: in 1901-02 it was 356. Both the medical and phar THKNKWB ANDOBSKKVKB. FKIDAY MOHNINO, JAN. 30, If 031 nrnoy departments are dependent upon the chemical laboratory for valuable courses in their schemes of instruction and for the success of these departments it is imperative that abundant space and opportunity for work be provided in the laboratory. If a new laboratory is erected, costing $25,000, the Chemical De partment can be accommodated in it for sometime to come. The Departments of Biology, including botany, can be pro \ ided for in the present chemical build ing, and the classes in histology, bac teriology, and physiology can then have the space at present assigned to them and in addition that which the biological department has been occupying. If the State is able to make any provision for permanent improvements in its institu tions, this money should be appropriated and the relief given. Otherwise, I am at the end of tny resources in providing for the chemical, biological and medical students. hen I undertook the administration of University affairs two and a half years ago, 1 found the Alumni Building incomplete and no funds on hand for its completion. I have collected nearly $9,- 000 for this purpose, and some subscrip tions are still unpaid- This has been probably the hardest task which has fallen to me. The sum collected com pletes the $36,000 contributed by the Alumni for the building. It is very ne cessary that the installation of the De partment of Physics in this building should be finished. Part of the first lloor has been equipped for the purpose, but the basement still remains untouch ed. I do not believe that I can success fully appeal to the Alumni for this pur pose. They did not propose to do more than place the building at the service of the University and I have exhausted all \ means known to me of increasing the [ fund. It will require $5,000 to purchase I and install the necessary physical and electrical apparatus and fit up the six rooms of the basement as laboratories. Until this is done, the department is greatly hampered in its work. The Board of Health recommends that the University secure and utilize certain springs for its water supply. This by no means nullifies any work hitherto done upon the water-works, which were wisely planned and economically con structed- It will probably require $1 000 to purchase the right to the water shed and construct the gathering basin and pipe line. A subsidiary engine is need ed at the pumping station, as the present one is in constant use and any break in it may leave the University without wa ter for weeks, stopping the heating plant, the lighting plant, and causing great risk in case of fire. This engine would cost about S3OO - the damages awarded the mill owner on account of water withdrawn from the erpek by the University, amount to SI,OOO. I know of no fund from which any of these sums may be paid and yet they must be provided from some source. Lastly, the University lias been forced to pay interest on so much of its appro priation from the State that by March Ist it will amount to nearly $1,2000. This has caused a deficit for the year. 1 am making every effort to keep down the expenses of the University and to collect all that Is owing, but unless re lief comes from some source, a further curtailment of expenses will be necessa ry. This means a step backward on the part of the University which will be most unfortunate to the University and the young men of the State- I do not think that I eould have foreseen the ex traordinary demands which have been made upon the resources of the Univer sity. This was in addition to his full and elaborate report already printed in these columns furnished to the Governor and by him transmitted to the General As sembly. President Venable also gave a verbal report of the progress and needs of the University. On motion the Gov ernor was requested to make known to the legislators the present pressing need as set forth in the president’s report which he will transmit to the General As sembly The most pressing need is the erection of a new Chemical Hall, to cost $25,0C0, and $5,000 to fit up the basement of the alumni building with necessary apparatus. The following were elected the Execu tive Committee for the encuing year: A- B. Andrews, R. H. Battle, F. H. Busbee, J. S. Carr, J. W. Graham, T. S- Kenan, R- H. Lewis. M. D.. Fred Philips, Z. B.

C-, Jan. 29. —Two im portant eases will come up before Judge Boyd in Federal court next Monday. One is against I. N. Ebbs, of Hot Springs, former representative in the State Leg islature and Republican candidate for United States Senator against Senator F. M. Simmons in 1900. Judge Bovd will adjudicate the question of extradition to Mississippi. Defendant Ebbs was arested on a charge of forgery said to have been committed while he was special attorney for the United States in the land claims department and assigned to duty in Louisiana and Mississippi. The arrest is fuid to have been resultant from a disputed expense voucher. Ebbs appeared here for trial in December but the government was not ready with its testimony and the case was continued un til February 2. the defendant giving bond for his appearance. The other ca3e which will come up is against Henderson county and is in many respects like the well known Wilkes and Stanley county bond cases. It is a suit to -recover interest on bonds issued by Henderson county in aid of the construc tion of the Asheville and Spartanburg Railroad. This interest was paid for a number of years, but on the decision of the North Carolina Supreme Court in the Wilkes and Stanley county bond cases, the county authorities of Henderson de clined to pay it any longer. The amount of the bond issue was one hundred thous and dollars. The plaintiff is the Travel ers’ Insurance Company. The case will be hoard on an agreed statement of facts. Attorneys for the plaintiff are Capt. Charles Price, of Salisbury, and Boone and Biggs, of Durham: for the defence 11. G. Ewart and O. R V. Blythe. From remarks which General Julian S. Carr made here last night while stopping over for a few hours on his way to Bee ton, it may be put down as certain that he has not given up hopes of being chosen by the Democratic caucus for Sen ator- He said last night that he did not believe that any one now In the race would be elected- Greensboro Industrial News. (Special to News and Observer.) Greensboro, N. C., Jan. 29. —Mr- Henry J. Dexter, of New York, president of iv-r. Fentress Mining Company, arrived in this city yesterday with a number of gentlemen and with his party is regis tered at the Guilford- The party left this morning on a special train to inspect the company’s properties, which are situated in this county. Tin; Fentress Company has just closed a contract for machinery and equipment and as soon as materials can be delivered a stamp mill will be erected. The company within a few days will have its present mine equipped with ten stamps. The parent industry of the town of Gibsonville, the Minneola Mill, owned and operated by the Minneola Manufac turing Company, of which J. W. Cor.e is president and J A. Davidson secretary and treasurer, will this year enlarge the scope and capacity of its plant to such an extent as will practically triple the population of the place. The present equipment of two hundred looms will be increased to five hundred. The main structure of the plant will be doubled in size to accommodate the increase in the weaving department. A new spin ning mill with a capacity of ten thousand spindles will be erected on the vacant lot east of the present plant. Conveniently located nearby will also bo an up-to-date new finishing plant at which will be fin ished all the products of the mill- To keep pace with other improvements the company will build a large number of tenement houses for operatives. The High Point Electric Company was chartered yesterday, the capital stock being S2O-000- This company expects to supply electric power oa a large scale and will enlarge its plant as fast as the demand increases. Mr. Oscar Richardson will have charge of the company just be fore it was chartered. An electric power letter stamping ma chine will be Installed in the postoffioo here in place of the hand power machine now in use. "Whiskey and Our Factory Population. To the Editor: The writer lives in a large factory town. Our people are largely steady and industrious and were it not for the’effect of rum would be independent. Conditions otherwise are favorable. Our people realize this and there is now in the hands of our Senator a large petition from the citizens of the town praying for the passage of the London bill. Nothing less will satisfy us, nothing less should satisfy the whole State. Thank God for the Anti-Saloon League and H. A. London. North Caro lina is rapidly becoming a State of looms and spindles, and the needs of this large class of her toiling citizens should, by no means, be ignored. With every turn ing spindle comes additional responsi bilities. It is said that the factory class is inferior. This is not universally true, in many instances some of the noblest are to be found there. They are crea tures of circumstances due to various causes, chief among which is the whiskey evil. I say, after much observation, that the saloon is mostly responsible for the educational, financial, and especially the moral leanness of the factory population -1 have several times known fathers who lived as parasites upon their poor child ren, draw the last pittance earned by the children, and spend it with the white aproned vender on Saturday night. These same men and other drunkards signed the petition gladly and pray that the temptation be removed. The question confronting us today is not a political question, and to argue that, it will wreck this or that party is as flimsy as it is fallacious. It rises far above partizanship and takes its place in the sacred precincts of the moral realm, fastening its clutches ou the conscience and says, “You ought,,” party or no party. The fact is, it will be the unify ing, perpetuating act that will make our party stronger than before, else the greatly augmented sentiment of the best of our people and we believe the most, will forget it not. Is the preservation of the Democratic party of mare import ance than the manhood of our sons and the virtue of our daughters? Is a seat in the next General Assembly worth more to a man than the consciousness of having rendered his State the most valu able service? Any man, when duty is plain and paramount, who will cringe and bow and scrape and lay liis anxious ear to the ground to see what are his future prospects for a seat in some covet ed official chair, is a coward before high heaven and is not worthy of the slightest recognition by any party who wants a true man. But he never makes a greater mistake. The Legislator today is the cynosure of all eyes—and the eyes of the people of our State are eagle eyed, and we have declared once for all that any man who caters for future recognition from the public must be a man, not a thing, a high souled rr.an, inflexible in convictions, unimpeachable as to record, daring for the truth. There lies before me a letter dated July 3rd, 1902, from the Liquor Dealers’ Association of.North Carolina, laying an assessment upon all manufacturers, deal ers, bar-tenders, and drummers. This letter states that this money is “to meet the vital issues” and ‘‘continue our vigil ance until the Legislature shall meet and adjourn.” Gentlemen, what does this brazonry mean? Can it be that in our Legislature there is a single man that is purchasable? What does it mean? Can it be possible that money, and blood money at that, shall influence our legis lation to any extent and fasten the yoke faster upon us and our children God forbid! We can not believe it. We have confidence in our legislators and believe that each would resist as the lowest in suit the slightest insinuation that they could be influenced by anything other than the right and voice of the people, and the cry of both which comes up from all quarters with ever recurring frequency is: God help our honorable body to rise to the Imperative demands of the hour, pass the London Bill, and set the Old North State free. E. R. WELCH. Roanoke Rapids. N. C-, Jan. 28. Stabbed Near tho Heart! (Special to News and Observer.) Asheville, N. C..

Appetite I “None o’your dainty eaters forme,” said a thrifty farmer. lie was right. You can’t work if you can’t eat. We know our tonic reconstructor VINOL will make your appetite come back, be cause it has done so in 985 out of every 1,000 cases. Those who are not satisfied get their i|| money back. VINOL gives no false appetite, but makes your food taste well and nourish you. W. H. KBNC DRUG GO., DRUGGISTS.—THE HOME OF VINOL. TEMPERANCE IN RANDOLPH. An Enthusiastic Meeting of Citizens Demand Belief From the Saloon, (Special to News and Observer.) Ramseur, N. C., Jan. 2'.).—At an en thusiastic mass meeting of citizens held resolutions were unanimously adopted fa voring a law to prohibit the manufacture, sale or importation of liquor in Ran dolph county, requesting their represen tatives to work for the London hill, and saying: “That the people expect the men they have honored with their votes to put themselves on record in away that the people may know whom they are serving, whether they have the b» st interests of their constituency at heart or whether they are coloring to the liquor power. The best element in our county and all over the State, is thoroughly aroused on I this question. They expect no dodging.! dickering nor compromising.” The resolutions are signed by Y. M. C. Johnson, Thomas A. Mcffitt, 1. F. Craven, committee. They Want the London Bill. (Special to News and Observer.) Denson, N. C\, Jan. 29.—We venture chc ! assertion that there is not in North Carolina a village and community need- ! ing protection from th> liquor traffic more than ours. The population is less than five hundred, yet there are five 1 flourishing • bar-rooms. In addition to the saloon in the village a great number of government distilleries encircle this community. The effects are disastrous. Benson is in the midst of a fine agricultural sec tion and but for the liquor traffic would develop rapidly. the shipping trade from Benson is im- 1 mense. Thousands of the jugs go from this place, carrying ruin with them. While Mr. Abell’s anti-distillery bill, ; and the decree of the county commis sioners conditionally to stop the sale here after April Ist, may help the con ditions here, yet for future protection by all means let the London bill be passed. Concord Zealous for Temperance, (Special to News and Observer.) Concord, N. C., Jan. 29. —Our citizens met in mass meeting in the court house on the night of the 26th in the interest of temperance. Mr. W. R. Odell was made chairman and .T. 13- Barrier sccre- 1 tarv. There is a threat to run a liquor j men’s ticket in our next municipal elec- I tion. This probably called forth the movement for a meeting. Resolutions were adopted appointing a 1 committee of three ladies and two men to act for the body of our people, in se curing the better observance of our lo cal option law; urging all officers to greater zeal in preventing its violation; requesting our Senators and Represt nta tives in the State Legislature to use their : influence and votes to secure the pass- I age of the proposed legislation known as i ‘‘the London bill.’’ L'quor Men Say They Have no Fear. (Special to News and Observer.) Wilmington, N. C.. Jan. 29.—Prohibition ; and dispensary issues will probably be submitted in the coming municipal cam paign, but the liquor men say they are I not fearful of the consequence. This j confidence seems to be warranted, too, , for a very large percentage of the city's I population is foreign. The idea of local 1 self-government is also strong with the vast majority of people and they object ! to any legislation that will not give them « voi’e in saying as to whether liquor I shall bo sold in the town or not. The Fowler Bill Endorsed. (Special to News and Observer.) Wilmington, N. €., Jan. 29.—A special j meeting of the Chamber of Commerce ' was held yesterday afternoon and the Fowler Currency bill was thoroughly dis cussed and endorsed. Copies of the en dorsement were ordered sent to every nieber of the House and Senate and ac- | tion was taken, looking to securing an j endorsement of the bill by other trades j bodies in the South. On account of the press of liis private j business Mr. James B. Atwater has felt compelled to resign as county commis- i sioner, and Mr. Robert W.
