Both eyes were totally onna ana tnese op erations were determined upon s a last resort by Dr. Kohler. it was decided to make the hrst trial upon the eye that had been blind lor ntteen years. A num ber of physicians and surgeons were invited to witness both op erations. Many oi tnem at fi rat, nrnfps?f( tn hp skfint.ioal ne X' - - to the value of the operation, but admitted alter the hrst toal that they were convinced that it was a signal success. -Ihe patient was carefully prepared lor tne operation, and me uiscuscu cc as icluuvcu. Then a corresponding piece of the rabbit's eye was removed, tion, the lid carefully pulled down, and tne eve bound so that not a ray of light could enter. About a week atterward an examination was made of the eye. It presented a natural ap pearance, and it was found that a complete and thorough union had been effected between the original and engrafted portions of the eye. The second eye was then pre- pared for the operation. An examination showed that a, lar ger portion of this organ had to be removed than from the first eye, as the disease was deeper. Lh. very particle of the diseased organ was removed, and a sim ilar portion taken from the rab bit. Some days must necessar ily pass before it is known whether sight has been restored in this instance, but not a per son who saw the operation douots tor a moment that sue- cess will meet ' the specialist's eltorts, and that the young woman will again see.

Bean tha 1 Tki lied too Haw kmn Bcct Eagastert at j6 STY Swear Not at All- A curiously dramatic story has been recalled by the death of the Rev. John B. Adger, D. D. It illustrates both the in genious piety of the man who is now dead, and the fatal re sults that sometimes instantly follow profanity - and ungodli ness. It further demonstrates that Dr. Adger's religion" was of that heroic type that dared fight evil no matter under what conditions it was encountered : to him every place was the right spot at which to unfurl the ban ner of the Church and make a stand for right. The incident alluded to took place in the northern portion of this State at a time when, during the civil war, the ravages of the Federal army had been complete. Sher man's horde of soldiers, with their attendant stragglers, had invested the piedmont section. Raids were being made in all directions. Houses were daily looted and, then burned. Stock was being driven off, old men were openly insulted and even the women, and children were shown no consideration by the invaders. Dr. Adger then lived near Pendleton and was in the very storm centre of the depredations. Day after day his home escaped ravage, and a hope that the owner s calling would render his roof free from pillage had begun to be enter tained. Expectation was in 1 . error, however, ior nothing that could be removed or de stroyed was overlooked by the men who had stubbornly fought their way southward to be transformed into spoilsmen of a very low character when the goal for which they had striven was finally reached. One day a party of raiders belonging to General Stone- man's cavalry were attracted by the house, which .had thus far enjoyed immunity from spoilation. Thither they di rected their wray and proceeded to take everything that was of value. From garret to cellar the old home was sacked by the soldiery in such a boister- ous manner that tne ladies were frightened and the ser vants rushed from the premises. Profanity was falling from the lips of the men in showers, the most obscene language fairly flowed from them and dirty ep ithets were applied to everyone whom they encountered. It was this profanity that stirred he soul of Dr. Adger. He stepped boldly forward, and, ooking the ruffianly-looking captain squarely in the eyes, said: "Sir, I have not objected to your thefts and the other in dignities that you have heaped on my home and family. I suppose that I am compelled to bear such treatment in time of. war and have consequently held my peace, mit you nave no right, sir, to use the profanity of which both you and your men have been guilty, and I consider it my duty as a Chris tian and the head of this house to object." I This simple speech wrought the great brute up to a point of renzy. He swore more vio- ently than ever, unheard-of profanity welled from his ol scene mouth as he thratened the old gentleman with person al injury fur having dared to V surest that it was wrong to ake in vain the name of the 00 Creator. A strange denoue- ment resulted. The soldier when in the paroxysm of ragejg lad worked his lody until his pistol was loosened in his bol ster and foil to the ground. There was a sharp report, a cry of pain, the profane otlicer reel ed and fell to the ground, dead. The bullet had gone straight to 1-xini.t Kot L'lma' 1 1 r runpft or man or reverence lor uod. . -. , t Charlestpn News and Courier. The best way to kill a false- lood is to let it lie.

In 1898 North Carolina built more cotton mills than any State in the Union. A bill has been introduced in the legislature to repeal the dis pensary at Fayetteville. The dispensary there went into busi ness July 1st, 1897 and on Jan uary 1st 1899 it had made a net profit of $10,271.70. The negro Arch Mclver, who killed Mr. Howie near here last summer, was convicted at Troy last week and sentenced to be hung in March, says the Aber deen Telegram. A negro boy about ten years of age attempted to swing on a passing freight trajn nearyVshor ville and was thrown under tQ cars anc received injures from which o died; A little chiW of Collin Anthor ny in Halifax county, left in the house with another child, played in the fire with a broonj from which its clothes caught on fire and it was burned so badly that it died. The colored graded school building at Durham was de stroyed by fire last Wednesday night. The cause of the fire is unknown. The building and furniture cost $7,500. It was insured for $4,500. Mr. Henry W. Bagloy, a brother of Worth Bagley who was killed on the torpedo boat Winslow in the Spanish war, has been appointed confidential clerk to Col. Tasker H. Bliss, collector of customs for the isl and of Cuba, and left Raleigh last Friday for Havana to begin his duties. The criminal court at Wil mington adjourned last Thurs day. Eleven negroes were con victed and sentenced to the penintentiary. Three of them were convicted of burglary and sentenced to 40, 30 and 25 years respectively in the state prison. A young man named, M. W. Enoch, of Stokes county, a brakemam on the Southern road was run over by a freight train at Charlotte last Thursday night and injured so that he died in a few hours. Ho was coupling cars and slipped down on the track, it being covered with ice. At the annual meeting of the Grand Lodge of Masons in North Carolina held in Raleigh last week the following officers were elected for the insuing year : R. J. Noble, of Selma, Grand Master; B. S. Royster, of Oxford, Deputy Grand Mas ter; H. I. Clark, of Hamilton, Senior Grand Warden ; Walter S. Liddell, of Charlotte, Junior Warden ; William Simpson, of Raleigh, Grand Treasurer ; John C.
