It contains an account of the meeting of Congress on De cember 10, 1799, and it is notice able that both branches (the Sen ate and House) 'proceeded to the President's house to present him their address in answer to his speech at the present ses sion." Imagine the Senate and . ermnent. House now proceeding to the President's house" in a body! Although published on the 4th of January the latest ne vs from E irop? printed in thia old paper was dated trv3 24th of ths pre ceding October. All of this for eign news is about the battles fought by the French (under Napoleon) on one side and the Russians and Austrians on the other side. Among the advertisements in the Gazette is one for the sale of "A stout, healthy, active Negro Wench." Tnis is a reminder of the fact that Negro slavery ex isted in the State of New York as well as in every other North ern State, and was abolished only when it ceased to be profit able! The other old paper is the New York Herald of April 15, 1865, and it is in striking contrast to the Herald as now published. It is only four pages with six col umns to th i page, but eery line place ior an exposition to cele brate the completion of the Pan ama canal will be the capital of the United States. New Orleans San Francisco? "A plague on both your houses!" The Secretary of War has just returned from the Philippines by way of Asia and Europe, bring ing the somewhat trite informa tion that our Malayan acquisition from bpam is not ht for self-gov- Well, what country ever was fit? The real differ ence is that the Philippines are less lit, or least fit. It is a posi tive benediction to some coun tries like India, Egypt and the Philippines to be governed by an Anglo-Saxon people. All chil dren need guidance and control, and these peoples are not onlv "half devil and half child," but "devil, ostrich and orphan child in one." The President's message is the most voluminous ever printed, and is generally considered to be an important and up-to-date doc ment. Few readers will peruse it from end to end, and the epit omies furnished by the press are excellent as time savers. Tne President earnestly favors the fortification of the Panarnal ca nal, and surely if it is wTorth dig ging, it i3 worth defending. Without fortification it could be destroyed by a few pounds of dynamite in a single night. To fortify the canal i no challenge to the peace of the world. In ternational interests demand its protection. The Secretary of Agriculture i i . i 1 i ; nas now compieteu nis most op timistic of reports. The value of eially ladies, to walk. In the first place, there is not a decent walk-way to any entrance; in fact, thjre is no walk-way at all. People on business to the ciurt-house in rainy weather must wade through the mud shoe deep nearly in order to get there. Why cannot decent walk -ways be made from either directions? Two walks are badly needed from the north entrance, as also from the east, west and south. Be sides this, the ground should be dag up, the brickbats and rocks thrown aside, plats laid off and grass seed sown. What's to hin der the commissioners .'rom do ing this? Nothing. The tax payers of Chatham would gladly give their consent for this very small improvement and would like to see it done. The county's wood yard, for the sake of decency, should be moved to some other place, and the chips should be hauled away. Get a move on you, gentlemen, and make the court-house square a thing of beauty, and in the fu ture it will not be an eyesore and a reproach to the citizens of the J town and county.

Of course this record. that tragic event created intense excitement. Much space is de voted to the operations of Sher man's army in this State- The latent news from Sherman was dated at Goldsboro April 10, that his army had begun its march on Raleigh. Thi3 old paper contains extracts from editorials of "The Confederate." then published at T?-?h which cannot be - I without a pathetic smile, so con-j ndent of succe33 even then was the editor. Strange to say this old Herald has les3 than a column and a half of editorial and news matter on its two inside pages, nearly all those pages being filled with pat ent medicine advertisements. POPULATION OF UNITED STATES. The census" bureau has at last officially announced the popula tion of the United States as be ing 91,972,266, an increase of about 15,000,000. or 21 per cent over the census figures of 1900. In addition to the above men tioned population in the States of the Union, there are several million in our island possessions, making a grand total of 101, 100.000 in the dominions of Uncle Sam. No other country has ever made so rapid a growth in popu lation, and this vast population pkicesthe United States in the forefront of civilized countries. This 'population is much larger than that of GreatBritain. France or Germany, exclusive of- their cobsial possessions. This great increase of population must be : e i- l-i o rrif1p Cif vprv eraui.viii J " - D - every true American, also most gratuymg . to of oar country i;i iu taat those even who are ncv past middle age may see an ag ricultural output equalling in val ue one trillion of dollars. The recommendation of the Secretary of Agriculture to elim inate middle-men and for co-operative organizations of farmers and co-operative societies of con seiners to get together, shorten ing the distance between the farm and the dinner table, is well read ' worthy of consideration and ac tion. Tnere is expectation that the recently elected congress will be less under the hypnotism of the express companies and more mindful of the popular demand for a parcel post than past Con gresses have been. The Presi dent in his message urges legis lation authorizing the Postoffice Department to transport pack ages in the mails at reasonable rates with reasonable limitations as to bulk and weight. The pres ent mailing conditions are mo3t unreasonable, having been dic tated by the express companies to throw the cream of the carry ing business in their direction The backwardness of our coun try in this modern postal facility is shameful, for the parcels post i3 extant even in such countries as China, Japan, Africa, Aus tralia, Asia Minor, Turkey and Korea, to say nothing of Euro pean countries. - Senator LaFollette is by odds the "independentest" Senator it the United States. Most Sena tors, when invited to the white house for consultation, accept the honor as a command. Not so Senator Follette. He wrote the President a little note saying in substance, "I 'will, if consist ent with my eense of duty, ap prove your appointments to the supreme bench, but beware that your appointees have clean rec ords or I'll oppose their confirm ation by the Senate." Ends Winter's Troubles. To many, winter is a season of trouble. The frost bit ten toes and fingers, chap ped hands and lips, chilblains, cold sores, red and rongh skins, prove thin. But such troubles fly before Bucklen's Arniea Salve. A trial convinces. Great est healer of burns, boils, piles, cut, sores, ecxema and sprains. Only 25c at all druggists. The Oldest Hen Dea.

That's why he wants to help some one now. Suffering so long himself ht feels for all distress from backache, ner vousness, loss of appetite, lassitude and kidney disorders.
