the proceedings ot the recent Meth

his location means he was not put

still holding his ordination papers.

today gave to the press the fact 'hat
he had pardoned Willis II. Pro-den. '
of Wayne county, a brother of ex
Governor Curtis H. Urogdei:. It
has been a remarkable tr.se. Ibog
den was last September conyicted of
killing F. II. Sassar, in July last,
and sentci ced to six years' imprisi
oiur.ent. The Governor g'ves the
following reasons for granting the
pardon :
"In this case there was no malice
or premeditation, but it was one of
those unfortunate acts which might
be committed by any good citizen.
Brogden got into a figtit with S.tssar.

contained in the act, to an amount
not exceeding tiie paid-up cash capi
ta of such bank. To secure the
payment cf these circulating notes,
North Carolina -1 per cent, bonds or
G per cent, bonds shall be deposited
with the State Treasurer in amount
e qual to the circulating notes to be
issued io any such t ank. The bonds
so deposited shall be held exclusively
'for the senility cf tlie circulating
notes until the latter are redeemed;
hut any bank may return any part
of its circulating notes for cancella
tion and withdraw ratably the de-
wired collaterals. Upon the ties

"I rannot forlcar to express my joy at
Jlie relief I have ol.iainod from tlio use
of AVEK'S Sarsajiarilla. I was alilictod
with kidney tronWes for about six
months, suflerin- really with pains in
thu small of my back. - In addition to
this, my body was covered with pimply
eruptions. The remedies prescribed
failed to help inc. I then began to take
AVER'S Snrsaparilla, and, in. a short
time, the pains ceased and the pimples
disappeared. I advise every young man
or woman, in case of sickness result
ing from impure Wood, no luittter how
