The thirty first congress of the German Chirurgical As sociation opened liere to-day with a discussion of the first treatment of the wounded in battle. Prof. Von Bruns, de tailing the formed practice re sulting from experiences in Cuba and South Africa, declar ed that antiseptic bandages were undoubtedly ideal for the battlefield, superseding anti septic treatment. Prof. Bergmann introduced several patients to illustrate the desirability, as far as possible, of not molesting wounds by probing and other operations. The most remarkable case was that of a man who attempted to commit suicide with a small calibre gun. The bullet pene trated the heart, but the wound healed quickly. Subsequently X-rays revealed the bullet lying 011 the right ventricle, bound ing with each beat. Eventual ly it became encased, and now moves rhythmically with the heart, not causing the least in convenience.—Berlin Dispatch. "A neighbor ran in with a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem edy when my son was suffering with severe cramps and was giv en up as beyond hope by my regular physician, who stands high in his profession.

J., the old negro nam ed Noah Rtby is the oldest mau on this continent. He was born at Edenton, N. C., and has just celebrated his 130 th anniversary. If he is really so old he is in all probability the oldest being who ever lived on this continent or who now lives in the world. A dispatch tells this, but we are decidedly sceptical of his age. Raby is blind and toothless, but his memory still remains clear. He was born in Edenton, N. C , and the dates he gives of past events have been verified for the years he claims."—Wil mington Messenger. TIIK GIIIOAT DISMAL SWAMP Of Virginia is a breeding ground of Malaria germs.

It is materially essential that every white man, who is re quired to pay poll tax should have lfis tax receipt oil or be fore May Ist, 1902. No danger confronts us on account of the educational qualification among our people because those that cannot read and write as pre scribed by the Amendment to the Constitution, could vote on Jan. Ist, 1867, or prior thereto, and if not in this class, they are the lineal descendants of some person who could, and hence the white people of Har nett county will not be effected along this line by the new law. This part of the Amendment to the Constitution has been considered the most vital part of it—and is, to all except the white people—the part that effects the white people we are now eudeavoring to impress upon the public. That is Sec. 4 of Chap. 11, of the Adjourned Session 1900 of the Legislature of North Carolina which re quires that "before he (the elector) shall be entitled to vote he shall have paid on or before the first day of May of the year in which he proposes to vote, his poll tax for the previous year as prescribed by Article V. Sec. 1, of the Constitution." This section only applies to persons between the ages of iwenty-one and fifty years. Those voters who are over fifty will not be effected by this part of the law. But those elecors who are less than fifty will have to 6ee that their poll tax is paid on or before the first of May 1902—unless the County Commissioners have released such voter on account of pov erty or infirmity—or they stand a good chance to lose their vote in the coming election of this year. The tax required to be paid is the poll tax for the year 1901 .and not for 1902 as some have understood it to be. We will have an entirely new registration in North Carolina this year to put in force and op eration o u-r Constitutional Amendment which was so triumphantly ratified at the August election 1900 and in this registration it will have to be shown that these poll taxes have been paid bv those who are of taxable age and applying for registration. The Secretary of State of Louisiana informs us that a number of worthy men were not put upon the permanent roll because this feature of the law was overlooked. This was also true in another state in which franchise laws have been recently passed, but there's no reason why this should occur in this state and especially in Harnett County. Then let every patriotic cit izen bestir himself to see that every white man obtain this in formation and get himself on the permanent roll this year— which will con\aiu all that is noble, true and good of the electors of this grand old com monwealth. Mcglt'ct n«:ins Danger. Don't neglect biliousness and constipation. Your health will suffer permanently if you do. DeWitt's Little Early Risers cure such cases. M. B. Smith, Butternut, Mich., sa3 r s, "De- Witt's Little Early Risers are the most satisfactory pills I ever took. Never gripe or cause nausea." Hood & Grantham. Home of the Easter Lily. There is a striking anomaly in the fact that Bermuda, the home of the Easter lily, was called, on its discovery, "the Isle of Devils. Although the lillies of Ber muda—the fields white' with their satiny leaves, the air heavy with their fragrance— have been known arid loved by all visitors to the "isles of sum mer," they did not become "Easier lillies" until so recent ly as 1875. It is said that they wf>re introduced into the United States in that year by an Amer icau woman who brought a few plants to a Philadelphia florist. Charmed by the beauty of the flowers, he cultivated the plants carefully from the bulbs until he had a number. Other florist purchased from him, then bulbs were imported from Bermuda, and now the lily is grown here profusely in all the hothouses. —Exchange. OASTORXA.

There is a sad man going west, who was sent to New York by a big manufacturing concern to get "next" to the steel crowd, this means the hob nobby with the bevy of great brained, long-pursed and full blooded gentleman who make the Waldorf-Astoria their head quarters. The westerner pro ceeded to get "next" immedi ately. He was invited to sit in a little game of poker. The first night he lost $7OO. The next night he lost 1,800. Then he wrote his firm and told them that if they wanted to get "next" to a gang of men who kuew no limit but the starry vault of heaven they would have to allow him poker mon ey. They wrote back and told him to open an account in a bank for poker and that they would adjust it at the end of two months. He did. At the end of eight weeks he was $B,OOO out and he informed the company. The day they got his letter he got this wire: "Come home.

'•I was ca'led," said a phy sician, "to attend triplets. The three youngsters, a few weeks old, lay side by side in a crib, and it was a physical impos sibility to tell one from the other. Each had a different ailment. The mother knew that one'had a cough, but did not kuow which it was. Moth er and doctor waited for a cough, before deciding to which of the trio it belonged. "A different medicine was prescribed for each, and the anxious mother was perplexed to know how she should avoid giving the wrong medicine to the wrong child. , The doctor came to the rescue by placing a piece of red flanel around the neck of one bottle and a strip of similar material around the arm of the child to whom it was to be given.
