Rockwell writes that pure water has eradi cated malarial fever from the town of Vineland, N. C, that the water question has been receiv ing attention "all over the coun ty' and that good water is now i be had "almost anywnere. IIc auus: Pure water nas uone uit ,-ork. Here m our town v,t have an artesian well. All traces ot maiaiut av .w cd. The change m rue appli ance and feelings of the inhabi ting is marvelous. They ap- pear white and red instead ot pumpkin-color. They leei strong and are fresh and energetic in stead of being tired before breakfast, and disposed to lean up against something and think all the day long, when they would like to be at work or down at the store talking politics. There is no more sale for quinine in any quantity. There is the same old 'bad air in the town all day and all night in summer and lall. The creeks and the rivers overflow, and the swamps are reeking with decayed and decay ing vegetation as before times. But traces of malaria have disap peared. "Pure water has done the work!" This is strong testimony. We hardly know what to think of it. If malarial fever can be guarded against in the simple way above described, then that town, city, village,, or hamlet which will hereafter suffer that disease will find no sympathizing friends any where. Why not? Because there can hereafter be no excuse for the prevalence ot that fever. This remark will not apply to places where pure water cannot be obtained, if any such places there be."

Mr. Richard E. Sherman, a Chicago electrician, has invented a plan to carry the mails through the air by means of electric cars traveling on a wire cable. The inventor says he has discovered a new principle of harnessing the electric current without the use of a return wire. He has succeeding in convincing the postal authorities that his plan is practical. Mr. -Sherman's description of his combined mot)r and carrier is as follows: "The whole arrangement weighs 32 pounds. The motor alone weighs 18 pounds, and its strength is one-fourth horse pow er. "It will be operated by a sin gle wire without a return circuit. "All parts of the carrier except Ih 2 motor are made of aluminum. The cars are detachable from the frame and can be taken out aud changed in ten seconds. The motors will climb an incline of 20 per cent. The speed as regu lated before the carrier is started on its trip by simple attachment. It will run no faster down grade than up. It cannot jump off the wire even at a speed of 100 miles au hour, "The power required to ope rate tlie carriers at a speed of sixty miles an hour is exactly the same as is required to run an ordinary arc light.''

John Tierney, a well-known hotel clerk, who has been clerk at the Paid Hotel iu Macon, Ga., was arrested on a warra it from North Carolina, charging him with burning a hotel at Hender souville, N.

Pollocksville, Jones county, will hereafter be known as the "walled citv of North Caroliu.a" Pollocksville, it seems, had a hog law; that is, they impounded stray porkers that wandered about the citv's streets. This made the people outside the town wroth. They didn't propose to have the freedom of their swine abridged in any manner whatso ever. Thereupon they had the Douglas Legislaiure to pass an act requiring a fence to be built around the town of Pollocksville. Free Press. CAUGHT ON A TRESTLE.

O.O.F. The program was devided into two parts, the first being devoted to Shakespeare, in which Mr. Deming read several selections from the Bard of Avon's most famous tragedies. Three scenes from the beautiful drama "Par thenia and Ingomar" were given as the second. In this Mr.Dem ing and Miss Thurston were seen to excellent advantage. The efforts of both were frequently applauded and the audience was more than pleased with the en tertainment and the ability of the entertainers." RALEIGH CHURCHES TAX ED.

It is the opinion of some good lawyers that the present Supreme Court of North Carolina is a very weak body. We heard one of the ablest lawyers in Eastern Carolina say that there was one lawyer on it, and-he is one of the best, who did not know enough law to understand a legal argu ment. Wilmington Messenger. 1 new in this branch of A DEATH DEALING MAID EN. A TEXAS GIRL WHOSE HAIR JCGX VEYS AN ELECTRIC SHOCK WHEN HANDLED. The Buffalo Gap county in Tex as claims a death dealing maiden whose fatal qualities lie iu her hair. The young woman "is 21 years of age and says it is only recently that her singular power became manifest. Her hair is of the course jet black variety and so exceedingly long and thick that when she suffers it to hang down it completely envelops her person, and the curling ends sweep the floor as she walks. It crisps and crackles and sparkles when she combs it and at night gives out a strange wierd light. In point of fact, she possesses a genuine article of "shining hair." So strong is the current of electricity playing constantly through her hair that one strand ot it will convey a shock to the person who is so bold as to touch it. She discovered her singular power one night recently when she stooped'down to fondle a kit ten. Her loose hair fell all about the cat with a crackling noise, killing the poor creature instant ly. Since then only a few people have had the hardihood to exper iment with the matter, but all who have touched her hair are convinced of its electric power. A young physician in the neigh borhood, who went to test the case in the interest of science, al most died of the repeated shocks he received thereby. The young woman herself is greatly annoyed at the sensation she is creating and threatens to to cut off her hair if people don't stop bothering her about it, but her father and mother look upon it as a miracle and are afraid for her to" tamper with it." as they say, lest some injury be fall her.

The decision of the Supreme court regarding the Mortgage law has relieved business to a great extent. But it will still work a great hardship to the farmer, who has been iu the hab it of buying his supplies on time. The Supreme court decides that mortgages given for a present consideration are valid, but that a mortgage given for a past debt is Onlv ail pvii!nr rvf ,L.bf Heretofore, when a farmer could only make a partial payment on the mortgage given to secure supplies furnished, the balance remaining was carried over to the succeeding year and the amount included in the mortgage given for the present considera tion. Nearly every farmer who buys his supplies on time owes something on the debts of past years. No new mortgage can secure this indebtedness, and all past debts must be settled Ufore the new mortgage may be given. THE CITYCOUNCIL.
