So uniformly successful lias Dr. Pieree'a
Favorite Prescription proven in all forms
of Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling
of Womb, and Leucorrhea, that, after over
third of a century's experience in curing
the worst cases of these distressing- and
debilitating ailments, Dr. Pierce now feels
fully warranted in offering to pay $300 in
cash for any case of these diseases which
he cannot cure.
It Stan us Alonc. The Favorite Pre
scription " stands slone, as the one and
only remedy for these distressingly coti
aoon forms of weakness, possessed of such
positively specific curative properties as to
warrant its makers in proposing, and
binding themselves to forfeit, asvwe, the
undersigned proprietors of that wonderful
remedy hereby do, to pay the Aim of $500
in legal money of the United States in any
case of the above diseases in which after a
fair and reasonable trial of our treatment,
we fail to cure. No other medicine for
the cure of woman's peculiar ailments is
backed by suoh a remarkable guarantee ;
no other medicine for woman's ills is pos
sessed of the unparalleled curative prop
erties that would warrant its manufacturers
in making such an offer ; no other remedy
ha such a record of cures on which to base
such s remarkable offer.
Therefore, insist on having Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription and turn your back
on any unscrupulous dealer who would
insult your intelligence by attempting to
foist upon yon some inferior substitute,

Discussion or Fbyslelaas Tneory
That It's Gerns Disease.
Greensboro Dispatch.
Th&death of Dr. Caldwell from an
operation for appendicitis, baa caused
much discussion here as to the fre
quency of fatalities of this kind in
Winston for the pant twelve months.
That city, Gensboro and High Point
seem to form a triangj, in which the
disease has been peculiarly and dis
tressingly troublesome during that
period, with the storm center of noaiig-
oity at Winston-Salem. The death
rate is sometimes terrible. At yl local
hospital here, there has never been a
death from appendicitis, three patients
having beefl discharged as cured last
week. Nexrly all the Deaths in the three
towns mentioned for the pist year
have been from appendicitis. A physi
cian - u ere says mat as a ruie wnen
patients are sent off they are past help.
Discussing the cause of so much ap
pendicitis, another physician present
advanced the opinion that it was a
germ disease, and said he would not
fear tp, bazar his professional reputa
tion oa the prophecy that in less than
five years the profession would recog
nize the germ theory. He declared
that it was contagious, instancing one
town where every case, out of a great
many, had been confined to a particu
lar community. A layman present
gave roller mill flower as the cause,
while another said it was the result of
too high living, especially in eating
quantities of meats and highly seasoned
food. Whatever the cause, it seeing
that it is fast becoming a scourge of no
mean proportions. It has often occur
red to tnis correspondent, that the
physician in these three communities
at least, even taking in Charlotte, would
institute a specific line of investigation
into the cause of its grevalence, and
peculiar malignity in the communities
named. The government, which sends
experts to investigate the cause for dis
ease of the vegetable and animal world,
might be induced to send experts and
aid in the investigation. It certainly
is a serious matter, when it is consid
ered that within twelve months nearly
a hundred otherwise healthy, robust
middle aged people have been called
from earth in a radius of less than
thirty'miles, from the same trouble, and
as many more perhaps have been at
death's door. The ravages of even a
small pox epidemic is nothing in com
parison. If there is any local cause,
such as water, atmosphere, contagion,
a particular kind of food, or bread of
merchandise, used in these particular
places, it would be a great blessing to
the people for it to be found out, be
sides the value of such disepvery from
a scientific standpoint.

Tbe Boy anal Ibe Bis Bee.
Atlanta Constitution.
A little boy once caught a little bee.
What will you do with me?" asked
the bee.
I will put you in a box and keep
you in my house," said the boy.
That will be cruel,." replied the little
bee
"Oh! no, that will be fun," said the
boy.
"How would you Hke to be caught
and be kept in a cage?" asked the bee.
"Jolly well," answered the boy.
"Well, then, I'll tell you what I will
do," said the bee. "If you will let me
go, I will get my big brother to come
here and get you and put you in a cage
and see how you would like it."
The boy agreed and away flew the
t)66s
Very soon the little boy saw a mam
moth bee coming toward him and his
heart began to sink. It did not seem
to be such a good thing to be imprison
ed after all, and he decided to try and
get away.
Turning on his heels he ran as fast
as his little legs would carry him, with
the big bee right behind him
Faster and faster the bee flew. When
the boy found that he could run no
farther, he eave a loud scream and
well, what do you think? He wolte up,
for this whole story was a dream.
"I might have known that," said he
to himself. "For that little bee would
have stung me when I first caught it
But I shall never ill-treat any dumb
creature."

LKVV A LOCAL TAX.
T Have
His; hi Scaools
TowasBls.
1st Each
The following information concern
ing the advance of the work of educa
tion inj North Carolina was yesterday
given put by the State Superintendent
of Public Instruction :
A number of citizens nt at Horn-
Tny Institute, Buncombe county, Jan
uary 1st, to disquia the question of
levying a local lax in the entire town
ship to aid in the establishment of a
township high school. Superintend
ent Reagan was present and explained
his views, which were tho approved
by the County Teachers' meeting held
in Asheviiie some weeics ago. xne
plan is for the township to levy a tax
sufficient, ith the general county ap-
propnation to maintain a higa school
in the township for eight months, and
permit every school district in the
township to send, pupils to this high
school as soon as they shall have com
pleted their common school branches.
Those who were present heartily
fevored the plan, and it is their purpose
to establish this township high school
before the next year .begins. Another
meeting for perfecting this arrange
ment is called for the 9th of January.
Supt. Reagan writes that it is the
purpose to have at least one high
school in each township, and in order
to do this, the teachers have organized
themselves into a campaign committee
for the purpose of interesting the pa
trons of the different districts in the
various townships. Supt. Reagan says :
"I think we will have no trouble in
carrvine these townships for local
tax."
Supt. C. W. Massey, of Durham,
writes that the citizens of Mangum
township will in the near future vote
special tax to establish a high school in
this townshiD. The Dublic schools all
run about seyen and one-half months.
It is the Durnose to establish a
public high school in each township.
Five of these have already been es
tablished. .
Supt. . P. Ellington, of Rocking
ham, is working upon the same plan.
He writes: "I am hopeful of getting
one entire township to vote a special
tax as soon as the spring opens."
Fentress township in Guilford county,
recently voted the tax in the entire
township.
It is significant that the advance
movement of township high schools is
in counties that employ superintend
ents for their entire time, who work
at the business all the year around.
Mounter and Taylor
Atlanta Constitution.
Mounter and Taylor were two dogs
who lived together on Mr. Bentley's
farm. Mounter had made up his
mind tnat Taylor should not go across
a fence ahead of him, and when he
did so there was certain to be a fight.
One day Taylor not only jumped tbe
fence ahead of Mounter, but whipped
him in tbe fight that followed. Moun
ter made up bis mind to get even, and
the next day he showed Taylor where
Aunt Nancy, the cook, had left a
iar of preserves uncovered in the
smokehouse.
Taylor was very fond of sweet things,
and Mounter thought he would eat the
preserves and be punished for it, but
Taylor did much worse than that ; he
kept pushing his head into the jar to
get the very last slice of preserves and
the small neck of it slipped over bis
ears. When he tried to pull back, he
could not get his head out. Mounter
sat laughing at him aa only a hound
dog can laugh. Poor Taylor Blapped
and slammed around with the jar fat
on his head.
Aunt Nancy, mistaking him for
some dreadful wild beast, screamed till
Mr. Bentley brought his gun. Taylor
came very near being shot, but just in
time his master saw that it was a dog
with a brown preserve crock on his
head instead of a wolf that had got
into the smokehouse. When Mr.
Bentley broke the crock, he hit Tay
lor's head pretty bard, but that was
nart of tbe punishment. Aa the two
dogs walked off together, poor Taor
said, "I'll never eat preserves again as
longaslTive." -
And Mounter said, "You'd better
promise yourself not to jump over any
more fences Ajhead of toe."

HO.TIB-mADB RURAL MAIL BOXKS
Wallace's Farmer.
A Perry, Iowa, correspondent writes:
"Is there any law to compel a rural
mail carrier to put mail in a home
made box, wnen he refuses do so un
less the patron buys a patented box?
Our house is only forty feet from the
road."
A couple bf yearayigo this same ques
tion came up and the postal authori
ses gave us their ruling as follows:
First. There must be a certain num
ber of patrons on the proposed route or
else it will not be established.
Second. Every patron on this route
must have box of sonte kind in which
his mail can beput and in which he
can place mail for transmissiop.
Third. If the ' patron wishes to be
sure that his mail will not be tampered
with, he must have a box which the
key that the agent carsies will unlock
but which can be unlocked by no other
other key except the one in possession
of the patron. If he wishes to run the
risk of theft, any kind of box, so far
as we can ascertain, will do, but if this
mail should be stolen he must not
complain'Of the government. He as
sumes all the risk and "Uncle Sam"
has nothing further to do with the
matter. 0
As to the kind of box, "Uncle Sam"
insists only one thing; that his key
must unlock It. There are fourteen
different makes of boxes which he has
examined and approved and it does not
make any difference to him which of
the fourteen kinds are used on any
route. It is evident, however, that it
will be better for all the patrons on one
route to use one kind. The 12 paid
for a box, and this seems to be the
price at which they are selling general
ly, is simply security, and it is certain
ly a reasonable price to pay for a box
which our Uncle aforesaid can unlock
and nobody else but the patron himself
t Makes Brother JHrKelwav Tired
Charlotte yews.
It does make one a little tired to hear
a'Southern newspaper comparing the
secession of Panama with the secession
of the Confederate States, and justify
ing the latter by the former. In the
first place the Confederacy seceded as a
matter of principle. The Pahamans,
or the immortal eight, including one
Indian, and any numberof fleas, were
strictly after the cash. The Confeder
acy had an array and navy, a seat of
government, an orderly and constitu
tional government with elected legisla
tive, judicial and executive officers,
and it was able to carry on the greatest
war of modem times without the help
of any other nation. Panama could
not have moved a peg, and would not
have dared to except for the protection
Ufforded by a little band of United
States Marines and the use of the
United States navy to keep Colombia
from landing troops on her soil.
Furthermore, as a constitutional point,
the right of the Southern States, prior
to th8 wnr, to seceda from the Union
has been granted by the students of
the Conslitution on the other side.
The Colombian constitution distinctly
forbids secession. It is really an in
sult to the South to be putting that
flea-bitten junta on the same plane
with the Confederate States of
America, or that opera bouffe insur
rection with the war between the
States. '

Since the article which we quoted in our

with such pertinent paragraphs as the
following: .
"When 20 dozen eggs wilf buy a

and do a little thinking?
"In several sections of this State
farmery are making a good thing of
shipping holly, mistletoe and other
evergreens to the cities for decotating
purpose during -the holidays. Stokes
farmers might get something out of
this.
"Eggs are selling at 27 cents in

Trinity College deserves better treat
ment than it receives from some
sources these days. Instead of being a
temple where the minds and hearts of
the youths of the State are to be devel
oped and trained, it ts characterized by
some as a sort of headquarters for the
dissemination of politics, the inculcation
of bad social teaching, and a place
where a portion of ill-gotten gains are
donated, in order to appease the wrath
of an outraged public. The man who
makes allegations like these, against an
institution which hag tHe history that
Trinity has, nd which now claims to
be attempting to carry out the high
purposes for which it was brought into
being, is taking a risk that most men
would prefer to avoid. The college is
passing through the rocky period of its
history one that is unusual, but one
one that t very real If the colors it
flies from the mast-head are real and
true, if the men who are in charge of
the college are Ood feariog and God
serving men, who are earnestly trying
to do the best they can, if the trustees
are honestly aiding these men to prop
erly administer the affairs of the col
lege there is absolutely nothing to fear.
The eternal principles and greatest as
pirations of the Methpdist church are
underneath it, and its growth and in
fluence will be co-ordinate 'with the
blessings of God upon this great de
nomination. And when the old col
lege shall come into the possession of
its own, and be clothed with the right
eous vindication, which is sure to come,
it will then be pitiable to behold the
humiliation and utter confusion of any
who have stood in tbe way of its on
ward progress.
But UUle Hope of Peace.
Paris, Jan. 7. Official and diplo
matic circles claim be without informa.
tion regarding the contents of the Rus
sian reply to Japan, but the tone is dis
tiactly pessimistic, and there are but
slight hopes of a peaceful exit from the
position, in which Russia add Japan find
themselves.
The diplomats are making inquiries
as to the attitude of the powers in case
of war, that to be adopted by the United
States being regarded as particularly
important. To the Associated Press
the Japanese minister said today:
"The attitude of the United States
would mean much. She has negotiated
a treaty with China for the opening of
three ports in Manchuria to the com
merce of the world. These ports have
been occupied by Russia and thus her
treaty rights have been violated.
"Japan is not guided by selfish mo
tives, but is acting in the interest of all
nations. I hope the United States will
clearly understand our position and
will favor us with her support."
What a Boy Did.
Southern Farm Manaztne.
Earl Burchfield, a fourteen-year-old
boy of Attalla county, Mississippi, hs
made this year, unaided, four bales of
cotton and one hundred bushels of
corn, besides a bank of potatoes and
other vegetables found about a well
regulated farm, worth on the market
about $500. That boy is to be com
mended. Although but fourteen years
of age, he seems to have been pretty
well educated, and if he sticks to the
school he is now attending he is likely
in a few years to become one pf the
best educated men that the South could
have. But he had better be on bis
guard ; before he knows it be will haye
a lot of social reformers of vagrant
minds on bis trial with a child-labor
law. In an adjoining State they tried
to pass a law laying the foundation for
the prevention of anyone becoming of
value tc the community as a producer
before the age of sixteen. But they
failed, though they have been having
a grand hurrah ever since over a
skeleton-like compromise. It will be

After supper these winter nights it is
long time until bed time. Much
depends oa how our boys and girls
employ the hours from five to nine oi
ten o'clock. If you live in a town or
village, young man, it is a great temp
tation to go up town and trifle the
hours away with nien who ought to be
at home with their families but who
trefer to waste the time in senseless
gabble about the stove in tlfe grocery
or the drug store. Do not go near
them, boys, w beseech you. Use
these four hours every night in im
proving yourselves. If you have had a
poor chance in school here is where
you may make up lost time. Lay off
a plan of reading for the winter. Get
sarme biography, history, a little poe
try, and three or four books from the
masters of fiction, such as Dickens or
Scott or (Jooper. You can get them.
