-BY- A. H. MITCHELL- Entered at the Post Office at Eluabeth Cit ond class matter. ELIZABETH CITY, Jan. JJgoo. While men, get youi belongs ings together and prepare to move. Butler says you must be whipped out of the State. The Boers are getting the best of the British in every engager ment who have abandoned all hope ol releaving Ladysmith. Only one judge is to be elect ed next August, and that to fill the vacancy created by the death of Judge Greene, in the tenth distiict. Mr. Donnell Gilliam, ol Edge combe county, has v:: uounced himself a candidate fur the Dem ocratic nomination for Congress in Second district. The Butler wing of the popu lists will hold their national convention in Lincoln Nebraska This is hoped to be a winning way to extort Democratic con" cessions to a republican ally. The Raleigh Times Visitor says that a North Carolina won man, Mrs. Emma Van Dusen, formeily Miss O'Daniel, Hills boro, has been sworn in as a deputy United States marshal in Texas, The total value of all the pro petty in the State, real and per sonal, including, railroads, tele graph', etc., is iound by the State Auditor t) be $269,000,000 this being an increase of 4,000, 000 oer last year. James Kelly, of New York, Was sentenced to two years' im prisonment the other d y for the theft of a pug dog. Mrs Lilly Mason, of thirth fourth street, the owner of the dog, said be fore the court of general session, that the pug was usually fat and ugly. "I would not sell it for any amount of money, " she ad ded. "When I lost it I was so broken up that I was confined to my bed for months." Pritchard has delivered his widely heralded speech against the proposed sufTerage amend ment, and the world moves along just the same. The as persions of the speaker against the white people of the State, which he misrepresents, are dis creditable and must have so im pressed his auditois and pecular lv those Senators who make it their first rule of action to des fend the States which honored them with places in the highest lcgi?lative body in the country Tjere is much truth in the old saying. "It's a dirty bird that befouls its own nest." Winston Sentinel. "Whip this gang out of the State," says Butler, meaning the white people who are pushing the amendment. Does that ren egade sou of North Carolina stop to consider that this "gang" whom he talks so flippantly about "whipping oat of the State" represents the wealth and intelligence of the State? Does he lose sight of the fact that it was this same "gang" that made the State what it is one of the grandest Commonwealths in this glorious Union of States a State whose sacred soil it is a pity to have desecrated by the foot of a thing like Marion But ler? Henderson Gold Leaf The attempted assassination of Senator William Goebel of Kentucky, by some unknown cowardly villain on Tuesday, January 30, 1900, was one of the most high-handed plots that a cowardly assassin could be guilty of. The act itself the way his life was attempted was unlike Kentucky methods of dispatch ing an e ntiny. Senator Goebel was a brave man, peculiar in many ways, and was specially bright aud intelligent. The plot seems to include others beside the coward who fired the bullet into Mr. Goebel's body. It may be unfolded Politics"frnd bad blood are at fever heat in the Blue Grass State. The hope is that Goebel, who has been inau gurated as Goverror, may live to serve his terra. May God save the Commonwealth. MANTEO. Mrs. S A. Griffi 1 is very ill. Miss Helen Evans is in Eliza beth City this week haviug Dr. White work on her teeth.

Our weather prophets aie pre dicting another freeze for Feb ruary. It makes us feel like ut tering maledictions against weather prophets when we rem ember the freeze of last Febru ary. Wc can only hope their prophecies will be like the majority of others, not recorded in the Bible. The guests of the Tranquil House are a jolly lot. They are always playing practical jokes on one another and sometimes they are pretty severe on the victim, but they are given aud taken goodnaturely, and strange to say, no matter how rough the prank, they unanimously decide it is all "wright." Mr. Borroughs, who repre sents the interests of the Monu mental Fruit Co. of Baltimore in the oyster industry here made a flying trip to Norfolk Tuesday morning. It is rumored that the Monumental Fruit Co. aud Cal lahan & Bro. are going to estab lish an oyster packing and can ning plant here, and probably Mr. Borroughs went to Norfolk to look after machiuey for the plant. It will be ol great help to the oystermen here and bring ing a large amount of money to Roanoke Island.

In a recent letter from Wash ington, D. C, to an old friend, Major G. A. Studer, for "twenty years United States Consul at Singapore, says: "While at Des Moines I became acquainted with a liniment known as Cham berlain's Pain Balm, which I found excellent against rheuma tism as well as against soreness of the throat and chest (giving me much easier breathing). I had a touch of pneumonia early this week, and two applications freely applied to the throat and chest relieved me of it at once. I would not be without it for anything.' For sale by W. W.

Great Nations to Be Represent ed at the Eclipse of the Sun The greatest event in astron omy in the year ioo will be the total eclipse of the sun on May 28, says a New York ex change. While ths sun will not be en tirely obscured in New York, it will be darkened to such an ex tent as to make an interesting spectacle. The line of total eclipse will pass through the Southern States from Virginia to Louis iana. All the noted astronomeis of this country as well as those in all the universities of the Old World, are already making ar rangements to observe the daz zling spectacle. The governments of Great Britain, Germany, France and Austria have notified the United States that they will send to this country observation parties to note the phenomena of the total eclipse. Our own government is mak ing extensive arrangements both to receive and entertain the scientists from abroad as well as to note in behalf of the scien tists of this country the spect acle of an eclipse which occurs in its own territory. The House Committee on Ap propriations has reported favor ably an item of $8,000 in the urgency deficiency bill to defray the expenses of the observation of the total eclipse of the sun. Of this amount $3,000 is for the Smithsonian Institute and $5, 000 for the United States Naval Observatory. President McKinley, Secretary Gate and Secretary Wilson have asked Congress to hasten the passage of the appropriation in order that the money asked for may be available in time for the purpose intended. Speaking of the matter Cap tain C. H. Davis, U. S. N., sup erintendent of the naval obsers vatory, says: "This eclipse is visible at Washington only as a partial eclipse. The path of to tal eclipse passes through New Orleans, Mobile, Raleigh and Norfolk. It is necessary to select observing stations at several points on this line to which pro perly equipped parties from this observatory may be assigned. 1'he instruments used in observ ing the transit of Venus in 18 74 and 1882 are available for this work. 'It is unnecessary to dilate on the importance of the work. The United States has usually co-operated with other parties in such observations. Foreign parties representing their own governments will be in this csuntry, aud it is desirable that the United Slates should not be behind hand in an astronomical event which occurs in its own territory." Professor Willis L. Moore, chief of the government Weath er Bureau, has had prepared un der his direction elaborate stir veys of the sky for determining its probable cloudiness along the shadow7 path of the eclipse in the United States These observations were made by Professor Frank Bigelow who says : "The total eclipse of the sun which is to occur May 28 next is of special interest to the people of the United States because of its unusually convenient place Qf happening in the Fast Gulf and Middle Atlantic States. "The cities of New Orleans, Mobile, Montgomery, Raleigh and Norfolk all lie within the shadow path of totality, and this is certainly one of the most uni que conditions possible, as it will enable thousands of persons to see that most wonderful spect ac7e of astronomy, the solar corona. "The track of the totality of the eclipse begins on the Pafcific Ocean west of Mexico at sunrise, trends due eastward over Mexico enters the United States very near New Orleans, and extends northeastward over Mobile and Montgomery, Ala., near Atlanta, Ga , over .Raleigh, N. C, and leaves this country in the region of Norfolk, Va.,and Cape Henry. It then crosses the Atlantic Ocean ard touches Europe at Coimbra, Portugal, takes in Algiers and Northern Africa and terminates neai the north ern end ot the Red Sea at sun. set. "The sun's eclipse, therefore, may be observed in the United States in the morning hours from about 7 o'clock and twenty minutes to 9 o'clock, local mean time and in Africa and Spain in the afternoon after 4 o'clock." The central pathway of dark ness, wherein the eclipse will be total in the United States, is fifty five miles wide. Professor Bigelow's work on the cloud surveys shows that the elevated grounds of Georgia and Eastern Alabama, which is higher above the sea level than any other por tions of the track and a remote from the coastline as possible, has the minimum of cloudiness for that region His Life was Saved. Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonderful deliverance from a frightful death. In tell ing of it he says : "I was taken with Typhoid Fever, that ran into Pneumonia. My lungs be came hardened. I was so weak I couldn't even sit up in bed. Nothing helped me. I expected to soon die of Consumption, when I heard of Dr. King's New Discovery. One bottle gave great relief. I continued to use it, and now am well and strong. I can't say too much in its praise.'

C5 bi: There is a learned man In Michigan who would rather have a rare speci men from the animal, vegetable or mineral kingdom than a high political office. Working for him is a sympa thetic son of Erin who professes as much interest as though he knew all about these things, a bit of shrewd ness that nets him many fnvors. The other day he went rushing to his em ployer with a letter stating that it was from his brother Mike, a coal minor in Ohio, telling how they had dug out a serpent turned to stone 50 feet long and as thick as a barrel. The savaut never stopped to renl. He took the first train and reached the little mining town by the shortest route. The next evening he was bark and only grunted when his eager em ployee greeted him. "Did yez iind the schnake?" ventur ed his man. "Yes. The snake in the ease is that brother of yours. He's the greatest liar unhung. His serpent 50 feet long and as thick as a bnrrol was the petrified root of a tree 13 inches in length and half an inch in diameter." "There's no loirs av our name, sor. It must be the thing shrunk, sor, after they put it in the sun." Detroit Free Press. THOS. C. JONES, WITH MOSES WEISE1, Late of S.
