He says that there are over 1,000 deaths every year in North Carolina from typhoid fever, the av erage cost of medical attendance and medicine being $30; average loss of wages during sickness, about $60; that by proper measures at least half the cases are preventable; that the an nual preventable loss to the people and State of North Carolina alone from typhoid fever is not less than $385,000. The bulletin says smallpox prevails in twenty-seven counties. PROCEEDINGS OF THE HOUSE AND SENATE (Continued from first page.) tols, spring and air guns. Mr. White wanted to strike out spring and air guns. He thought this was paternal legislation, the State doing what should be left to parents and the heads of families. Mr. Thayer sent ant amend ment allowing until Aug. 1903 to dispose of such stock on hand. Mr. Wellborn offered an amendment not to apply to Alleghany, Ashe and Watauga. Mr. Webb, Mr. Godwin, Mr. Brown and Mr. Travis favored the bill. Mr. Beasley op posed it. Mr. Spruill, the veteran of the body, made a humorous speech say ing, 'T notice we young men alone are opposing this bill because we remem ber the joys of our boyhood: If this bill passed I shall ask for a bill put ting the little boys under glass cases. I don't want the Senators to deprive we boys of our cannon crackers Xmas for I love to hear them." t After adopting all amendments and exempting counties of Alleghany, Ashe, Watauga. Edgecombe, Montgomery, New Hanover, Wake and Brunswicn., by a vote of 22 to 15 the whole thing was then tabled and the defeat of the measure was greeted with applause on the floor of the Senate and in the lob bies. MR. WOODARD'S PERSONAL PRIVILEGE. Senator Woodard then rose to a question of personal privilege and had the clerk to read an editorial from to day's News and Observer headed "Will be Neither." Mr. Woodard called upon the Spnntnrs to witness that the edi torial was false. He did not mention the News and Observer, criticize the people of Durham, assail any Senator or assume superiority in his speech on the Durham bill yesterday. The state ments in the editorial are "false, defa matory and libelous and- not born ont by the report of the preeeedings in the same paper." He had known the editor of the News and Observer since boy hood and had been his friend since childhood but he would not ask to re tain such friendship when it was to be purchased only by attacking those that the editor attacked and supporting measures the ObserVer favored. He was not surprised that the editor quoted, Republican authorities, for his well knc?n fusion proclivities made his radial quotations like Elyses re turning t his own. He bestowed on the editor's editorial his "commissera tion and contempt." PRISON PAROLE BILL.

HAAS BROS., Bakers L CATARRH a Case of Five well-known lawyer, of Chicago. 111., writes the highest praise, for it is reliable and will never disappoint you." Mrs. J. C. Garrett. There are two things that the whole medical profession agree about concern ing catarrh. The first is that catarrh is the most prevalent and omnipresent dis ease to which the people in the United States are subject. All classes of people have it. Those who stay indoors much and those wk go outdoors much. Working classes have it and sedentary classes have it. The doctor finds catarrh to be his con stant and ever-present foe. It compli cates nearly every disease lie is called upon to treat. The second, thing about catarrh on 50c on We act aJl times ere cm the lookout for the best interests of ovir evistomers srvd with the ready cash buy anything in gen eral merchandise thet we clI see Send save them money We hecve just succeeded in buying but c $500G stock of staple goods, aJl new; the busi ness has only run about ten months or a year.

We are looking for this stock on every train and as soon as it arrives we will place every thing in it at about 50c on the dollar. CURED Years' Standing. which all doctors agree, is that it is dif ficnlt to cure it. Local remedies may give relief but they fail to euro perma nently. Sprays or snuffs amount to little or nothing except to give tempo rary relief. Catarrh is frequently located in inter nal organs which cannot be reached by any sort of local treatment. All this is known by every physician. To devise some systemic internal rem edy which would reach catarrh at its source, to eradicate it permanently from the system this has been the desire of the medical profession for a lonK time. Forty years ago Dr. Hartman conf ronted this problem. He believed thon that he had solved it. He still believes he has solved it. He cures thousands of people annually. During all these years Pe runa has been the remedy upon which he has relied. It was at first a private prescription, afterwards manufactured expressly for him in large quantities. This remedYt Peruna, is now to be found in every drug store and nearly every horn in the land. It is the only reliable internal remedy ever devised to cure any case of catarrh, however long the case may have been standing. Mr. Camillus Senne, 257 West 129th street, New York, writes : " I have fully recovered from my ca tarrhal troubles. I suffered for three years with catarrh of the head, nose and throat. I tried all kinds of medicine with out relief, but at last I have been cured by the wonderful rem edy called F.e runa. " I read of Pe runa in your almanac, and wrote you for advice, which I followed. After taking one and one-half bottles of Peruna I am entirely cured, and can recommend Peruna to anyone as the best and surest remedy for any catarrhal troubles." Camillus Senne. A course of Peruna never fails to bring relief. There is no other remedy like Peruna. Its cures are prompt and per manent If you do not derive prompt and satis factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
