Dunn, N. C. Uncle Sam Orders a. New IVeap- on of Warfare. Uncle Sara lias ordered a ter rible weapon of warfare. It is the new Gathmann gun, invent ed by Louis Gathmann, -of Chi cago. It will be of lS-inch bore and will throw 600 to 800 pounds of gun cotton a distance of five miles. This new Gathmann arm, says the iS'ew York Journal, is -a high explosive projectile, with a jun ior firing "it. "It makes possible- the use of ; enormous chnrgps of gun cotton in shells disctiarged from high power i-iiled cannon of the most mod ern construction and the long est effective range. It practi calljT converts the modern can non into a torpedo tube and the modern explosive projectile into an aerial torpedo. It has long been a dream of artillerists to use high explo; sives in projectiles. All at tejupts to do so h ave proved abortive or inefficient. Dyna mite guns have been compara tive failures on account or" the low muzle velocities required by the use of compressed air. Tlie low velocity entails two weaknesses which render the gun useless to a great extent. First,- it gives an extremely short range to the gun and makes accuracy of aim impossi ble: It can , be stated definitely that the Government is satisfied by the tests of the Gathmann gun which have just been com r lb ted at Sandy Hook, that those weaknesses .and others peculiar to air-djmamite guns have been eliminated, and that at last a weapon has been pro duced whose range and accura cy equal those of any modern high power rifle. The central idea in Mr. Gath mann's invention and the one which has required a -long se ries of most careful experiments, is the use of wet gun - cotton - in a shell with comparatively thin walls and an open base, to be used in any approved form of rilled gun with "either prismatic or smokeless powder as the pro pelling force., The shell used contains a much larger amount of explo sive material to its total weight than has heretofore been used with guns fired by a powder charge, and the inventor's in tention is to construct a gun capable of carrying a torpedo charged with several .hundred pounds of an explosive such as wet gun cotton.

Smallpox is. spreading in ou; Stale. It now extends literal ly from' the. mountains to tht. sea, being present; at five differ ent points to say nothi ng of its j attending physician, prevalence in the adjoining All persous who have been States of Virginia and South ' exposed to smallpox should be Carolina. It is now liable to I vaccinated immediately and de make its appearance anywhere tai'ued or quarantined in com at -any time. It is our duty to fortable quarters for 15 days warn the people and to hov." ; from the time of exposure un them a ' way of escape. Thai : til the danger of "their having it way is vaccination. When a! has passed. Before leaving the c;u:e that is even suspected of j house of detention they should being smallpox occurs in your com m unit v vaccmate'4. iv-vaccmatca T 1 A if it, ha xe; i t : 4.-.J I aone oetore, ana above tilings see that the-child vaccinated.- . Unfortunately the- proverb "Doctor's differ, r? is all too true, but we beg of your not to lis ten to tnuse wlio having 'no eon nee tiOU V'lti) the case whatever, take it upon themselves to denvh'OX, every th rug that has been in . -. . ... . .i. .-,. i.r.- -i ii - .li- th at it . is smallpox, cainng l chickenpox or something of the so rt , and e n co u ra ge resistance to vaccination ,'ind other recau tions. In several instance in this;State where there was a riisnute amonii the doctors the disease has invariably proven to be smallpox. No quarentine can compare with vaccination in euiciency as a preventive measure. We append a, circular of the board, just 'prepared, entitled "Smallpox It's Prevention. Read it : r Smallpox is one of the ".most contagious and oncof. the most loathsome, of all diseases. It is- now widely scattered over the-LInited States, and is prevailing at a halt dozen points in our own State to-day. There is danger of a widespread epi demic among our people. Under these circumstances. every eruption appearing alter two or three days of headache, backache and fever ; or even af ter merely a general bad feel ing especially if most promi nent on the face and hands, should be regarded as smallpox, and the proper precautions ta ken promptly and continued until seen by a reliable physi cian. x Be not deceived by false prophets who seek popularity by prophesying smooth things and call it .chickenpox. Ac cording to oire' of the highest authorities, vith a very few ex ceptions, chickenpox .is confined exclusively to childhood up to the age of 12, and is rare after ten. So if the patient is past childhood it is almost surely sin a 11 pox, alj hough it may be a "mild attack. .But rhild cases can cause the severest form in the un-vaccinated. Fortunately, thanks to the genius and courage of the im mortal country doctor, Edward Jeuner, we have almost sure protection against the disease within the reach of all in vac cination. If properly done it is practically as certain a preven tive as a previous attack of smallpox itself. In Gin-many, with its fifty million of people, in 1871, before vaccination was matte compulsory, the number of deaths from smallpox was 143,000, while in 1807, under compulsory, vaccination it was only 216. When smallpox is ."'''S--nt in a community (hose who !! v been vaccinated before should be vaccinated again as its vif-1 tues disappear more or less with -time. j There seems to be a prejudice! against vaccination on the part I of some. This prejudice is due j to ignorance of ttie facts. .1 he i effects of vaccination' are really i serious so seldom that they need not be taken into account. I With the improved virus from ! the cow there is not the slight-! j est danger of transmitting such j human disease as consumption, j scrofula or syphilis. j Having this sure preventive! right at hand, a panic on thej subject of smallpox is utterly j inexcusable. Those who are ; vaccinated but only those ! can laugh at smallpox, and go on with their usual business! in -confidence. ' j Whenever smallpox appears in a community it is all impor tant that the sick person should iCjfai a t ' cd Trom the 1 is soon as possible. No oiif should visit- him, and only his physi cian and-nurse should see him. In fact, -when smallpox is pre- ; virs of rnercrsympathy V Li. or curiosity should not bo paid to anv case of sickness until its nature has been declared by the ; iakea 'tngrougli bath and put be or ; on cieaii cuoiiies irom tiie skiii out. i ne clothes in. wliieu tbev were exnoned should be boiled re I or'. otherwise disinfected before ! being worn again, or removed j from the house. The poison of ! smallpox can be carried in the j clothes for an indefinite, time. Atter the .death or recovery jot. a person who has had small- ! contact witli hfm should be dis- I infected in the most thorouiih I ma-auer ov me noaicii omcer. - 1 j 1 '.lit. . i 2 . Under the law (chapter 214, Laws of 1803) vaccination, quarantine, etc., are under the control of the county superin tendent of health, or the medi cal health officer of a city or town where- there is one. . ; Ample powers are conferred I by sections 23 and 25 upon i IJoards of County Commission- ers. and the authorities ot cities and towns to enforce the neces sary rules, the language of one of the sections being that they are authorized to make such regulations, pay such fees and salaries' and. impose such penal ties as in. their judgment-may be necessary for the protection of the public health. , The, reason of such laws , is that the State does not permit individual citizens . for a mere whim of prejudice to en-danger the health and lives and busi ness of their more reasonable neighbors. Let everyone be vaccinated promptly. JlICIIAilD II, LEWIS, M. D., Secretary State Board of Health. A.

Congress adjourned sine die last Saturday at noon. The appropriations of this congress will reach a, billion and a half dollars. The Senate failed to confirm the nomination of Judge Ewart and the President, it is said, will re-appoint him Judge of the Western district of North Carolina. The United States transports Morgan City, Senator and Ohio have arrived at Manila with re- enforcements for General Otis, who reports all the troops on board in good health. Since Dewey has been made Admiral of the Navv he is the highest officer in it and will re ceive as pay $14,500 a year.. Of this amount $13,000 is the pay of an Admiral and he is allow ed $125 per month extra for furnishing quarters.' "William R. Merriam, ex Governor of Minesota, was ap pointed Director of the Census Iry President McKinley Satur day and the Senate confirmed the appointment just before adjournment. William Warren Morrison, 17 years old, and a "devil" in a printing office in Boston, Mass'T, has fallen heir to $20,000,000 from a kinsman in California. When notified of his good luck he did not quit his job but kept on at work. The Cuban Assembly mem bers consider that the planting of General Fitzhugh Lee's flag staff twelve feet in the ground, a sure sign that the United States intend to occupy the island permanently, and are suspicious of the good offices of the Americans. ; The citjr of Richmond, Va., has directed a conditional quar antine against Norfolk, Ports mouth, Newport News, Hamp ton and Suffolk to prevent smallpox from reaching that city, and have ordered a house to house vaccination of its citi zens. Before the adjournment of Congress that body re-enacted the grade of Admiral and con ferred the same on Admiral Dewey. Secretary Long tele graphed Dewey of the fact and ordered him to raise his flag in dicating his rank. On receipt of the telegram the flag of Ad miral was raised on the flag ship Olympia and all the foreign vessels and American ships in port at Manila fired the -customary salutes. An Old Pioneer.

A Mount Carmel little girl caught fever from attending the high school commencement and wrote the following for the Register : , "Lang Solomon was a. man who hyeo ever so many years ago, and in the county that hr governed he was the whole push. He was an awful nice man. and one day two women came to him, each one holding onto the leg of a baby, and nearly pulling it in two, and both claiming it. King Solo mon wasn't feeling right good and he said, 'Why couldn't the brat have been twrins and stop ped this bother. And he called for his sword and was going to chop the kid in two and give each of them a piece of .ir, when the one of them who was the real mother said, stop Solo mon, stay thy hand. Let the old hag have it. If I can't have a whole baby I don't want any.' Then Solomon told her to take the baby and go home and wash its face, for he knew it was hers ; and he told the other wo man to go chase herself. King Solomon built Solomon's Tem ple and is the father of all the Masons. He had seven hun dred wives and three hundred lady friends and that is why there are so many Masons in the world. My papa says that King Solomon was a warm member and I think he was hot stuff. That's all I know about Solomon. Jonesboro Progress. His Life Was Saved- Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonderful deliverance from a frightful death'. In telling of it ho says: "I was taken with Typhoid Fever, that ran into Pneumonia.

David Bagley, of Raleigh, brother of tho late Ensign Worth Bagley who was killed on the torpedo boat Winslow at Cardenas, has been appointed a cadet to the Naval Academy' at Annapolis by President Mc Kinley. The town of Scotland Neck has quarantined against the towns of Halifax, Weldon, No-' folk, Portsmouth and Suffolk on account of smallpox at thoso places. Two negro men employed by the Greensboro Nurseries- near Greensboro, were killed by lightning during a thunder storm last Thursday evening. They took shelter in .a barn which was struck. A special from Marion to tho Charlotte Observer of Saturday says: "Tho smallpox in Mc Dowell county is thought to bo stamped, out. There were six deaths from it in this county. The death rate was aoout 50 percent. The buildings in which the smallpox patients were confined havo been con demned by the board of health of the county, but the owners of the houses in which tho pa tients died have refused to al low the buildings to bo burned after being offered by the board of health what the structures were worth. It is not known what action the board will tako in regard to the matter. Yes terday, while being fumigated, one of the houses caught fire by some means and was entirely destroyed. Dr. Caviness returned from Carver's Creek this (Friday) morning, where he held an in quest yesterday morning over tjie body of the young colored woman, Mary Eliza Blue, who was found dead in McKay's Creek Wednesday, The verdict of the jury was "that the wo man Game to her death by a blow on the head with somo blunt instrument in the hands of one Joe Ray." Ray disap peared 'Wednesday1 night and a pose is now out searching for him. It seems that Ray. with whom the woman lived, had many quarrels with her. and that after she disappeared, he tod the negroes that she had gone to Dunn and would never return. He also told his wife to come back and live with him ; that the Blue woman would never bother her any more.
