THE PULLMAN COMPANY
Sustained in all Important Particu
, lars in the Salt by the Attorney
j -General.
Chicago, June 1 Judge Baker this
morning handed down his decision in
the case of Attorney General Moloney
against the Pullman Palace Car com
pany, in which the former claimed the
defendant company had violated its
charter by conducting a number of en
terprises other than those for which the
State granted it a charter and that the
charter should therefore be forfeited.
The court sustained only two of the
charges against the company. One
that .the company had exceeded
power in becoming the owners pi i
three acres ox land m tne town
tnin. whifih has beenDUt to no
the other was that it violated its
ir
in hAcomincthe owner of a par
the
stock of the Pullman Iron land Steel
company. The court holds that the com
pany had the right to erect .a I. ten story
office building in Chicago and rent the
greater part of it to tenants; that it
has the right to sell intoxicating liquors
in its cars, and that in the purchase of
land upon which the town of If ullman is
built and the erection thereon of 2,200
dwelling houses, to be rented to its em
ployes, the company did not violate, its
charter, but only tooK upon liseii powers
which were implied in the fcrant of the
T-xrislnrA. Th rnmnanv is also sus
tained in the erection of schools and
. rhnrrh in the town of Pullman, ana
the sale to the tenants of its houses of
water and gas for the plants which the
company owns. - m
The twenty-three acres of land which
is nhnrmimed the coniDanV will be com-
pelledxto sell under the decree of the
court, andt will be compelled to dispose
of what stock it owns in the Pullman
Iron and Steel company. These two in
tm-psf in whir.hthe comDanv was de
fe&ted bv the courtinvolved about

business undisturbed and with its meth-

IForthe Messengeu.J
Eastern North Carolina.
That is a fair land, with broad and fer
tile acres on which the sun first shines as
its rays fall upon North Carolina. There;
many and navigabie streams are com
mercial arteries which defy the burdens
which corporation exactions can place
upon shipments from less favored regions.
For no section of the State, or indeed of
the whole republic, has nature done
more. But it must be confessed that its
material, development has not been in
proportion to its manifest natural advan
tages. The towns are not large, the
manufacturing element is not conspicu
ous, its enterprising young men too often
remove towards the setting sun, and few
come from elsewhere to build up f ortunes
and prosperity in this highly favored re
gion. .
The reason is obvious. Ask any man
at random in Eastern North Carolina as
to the healthf ulness of his place of resi
dence. His loyalty to his town or his
neighborhood will cause him to reply, in
good faith, "There is no healthier spot
anywhere, but just a little lower down
." And itis just those sickly
places Va little lower down" which pre
vent the immigration Of young, active
men from other sections and hold back
the development of what is naturally one
of the finest sections in the whole Union.
And the obstacle could be so easily re
moved! Those who have traveled West
arid South and made inquiries know that
the valleys of the White, the Miami, the
Wabash and countless other rivers in the
Northwest were formerly the homes of
deadly miasma and malaria- Now they
are almost free from it. In the Missis
sippi bottoms in places where formerly a
white man could not with safety spend a
night, now white men reside with immu
nity the year round. The change is due
to the fact that science ascertained that
malaria is not in the air but is embodied
in the water.
Our State Board of Health took the
matter up, and proofs and demonstra
tions that this is also true of Eastern
North Carolina will be found in the very
interesting report of that board for 1894.
It is there demonstrated 'hat driven
wells of l5 to 40 feet were p reat benefit
to those who could not beur the expense
of deep wells, while artesian and deep
wells were a sure remedy. One of the
most interesting letters there published
is on page 207, from Dr. W. H. L. Good
man, of Franklin, Va. He, states that
when he removed to that place in 1885
malarial troubles were prevalent. In
1887 the first artesian well was put down,
with an immediate improvement in
health, and now the town has twenty-
fire wells, averaging each a flow of fif
teen gallons per minute and over 500,000
gallons per day. The population has
doubled and malaria is unknown. The
welta average 140 feet deep and the tem
perature of tL ) water is 60 degrees. In
a letter since to the writer of this he re
iterates this statement, and adds that
these are all overflow wells, spouting up
four feet above the surface, die size of
pipe two inches. The water is light and
can be drunk in large quantities without
any unpleasant results. The ( average
total cost of these wells is only $60.
At that place, about 90 feet below the
surface, a hard sandstone is struck
which is 12 to 15 inches thick; Below
that, clay, black sand and finally white
sand are passed through by the borer,
when the overflowing stream of living
water, pure and healthgiving, is found.
While the particular strata! at any
given place, or the depth at which water
may be found, may differ, there is no
doubt a belt more or less wide, I on our
ocean front clear across our State in
which these cheap overflow wells can
be put in by a little enterprise, rendering
such belt absolutely as free from malaria
as the tops of our grand old mountains
in the west, which are gilded by the rays
of the rising and the setting sun. Be
tweeathis belt, where artesian wells can
be put in, and the foot hills which
stretch along from the falls of the Roan
oke to the falls of the Tar,the Neuse, the
Cape Fear etc., (which geologists say
mark where the shore formerly stood,)
between this artesian belt and these foot
hills, deep wells of 150 to 300 feet
ca, be sunk cheaply by the
machinery now used for that purpose.
The water will not overflow as in the
artesian belt but when the proper strata
is struck- the water will rise to within a
few feet of the surface and is pumped

up. This is the result in the valleys of
the rivers of the Northwest, where arte
sian or overflow wells are rare, in the
cane brake region of Alabama and in
many' other places, and the water has
proven as healthy as that of the over
flow wells. It has made every commu
nity using it free from malaria. There
is pot a spot between the falls of our
rivers and the ocean shore line
where one class or the other of
these wells can not be put in.
Special machinery is built for the purpose
and throughout the Northwest, West,
and Southwest it is a regular business
with men to vgo round with these ma
chines sinking wells wherever needed.
Our penitentiary authorities on the State
farms in the East could not do better
to sink some of these wells, at once
proving the health of the convicts and
giving an object lesson to Eastern North
Carolina. With the success of a systematic
movement of this kind for the sanitation
of Eastern North'Carolina (which is ap
proved by science and large experience
in other States) a new impulse would be
given to that part of our State which
would fairly revolutionize it.
Some one has said, do what you can
and whenever you can for your fellow
men for you "will not pass this way
again." With that motive I have writ
ten this for your paper, on a subject to
which I have devoted some labor and
study, in the hope that it will fall under
the eyes of some who will have the en-
ergy and the public spirit to do for "bun
Rise" land of North Carolina what has
been so successfully accomplished for
the public health m many other States

t The May Crop Bulletin.
The May Bulletin, issued to day says:
The climatic conditions, since last re
port, have continued unf avorable f or
either farm work or the germination of
seeds in the eround. There have been
remarkably few bright, warm days dur
ing May, in fact, it has been phenome
nally wet and . cool. Most of our corre
spondents had mailed their report prior
to the cool weather about the 15th of
the month. There was frost slight in
many parte of the State, and cotton, and
ixjraccO (whiph had been transplanted)
wasiniured in some instances. The
cool, wetweather also caused much
fruit to fall from the trees; so that the
month of May has been so unfavorable
as to cause much loss, not only of fruit
and seeded crops, but has prevented the
tilling qf the soil and putting it in condi
tion for crops yet to be seeded.
For the reason alluded to-mailing re
ports before the cool weather had set in
the averages in the State are a little in
excess of the actual condition. : 4
The average condition of wheat is re
ported, at 89. This is fully as good as the
crop will yield.
The average condition of oats iso4, and
is a full estimate for the whole crop.
Rye is a little better, reaching 88 as
the average condition in the State.
The condition of preparation- for rice
has lowered three points during May. It
is now reported at 80. -
The reported condition of cotton last
month was 70f. The May report foots
up exactly the same average. This is the
lowest general average for the month of
May that we have had in 'years. The
continued wet and cold weather for sev
eral weeks in May has prevented the de
velopment usual for the season, so that
we have now at the last of May a condi
tion no better than existed thirty days
ago. This, taken into consideration with
the reported decrease in" the average
acreage, is sure'to make the crop consid
erably short in North Carolina this year.
The average condition of the corn crop
has decreased 9 points during .May.
This is very remarkable, and
is a condi-
tion seldom met with in this
general average for the crop
State. The
is only 83,
against 92 thirty davs ago.
Tobacco has held its position and'
made slight advance, reaching 94; how
ever, many reports from the tobacco
growing districts were in hand before
the loth and loth of May, at jwhich time
damage was done the transplanted
plants. I
The pastures and grass lands have im
proved under the wet weather, and the
reported average for these' crops has
gained 6 points, standing now at 97.
The prospect for apples is -reported at
91; peaches, 92; other fruits, 91. This
report will be affected by the predomi
nating weather of May. Yet the pros
pect for a good fruit yield is considered
fair. - - . ..;
There is some complaint! as to cut
worms, and the potato bug, but there
seems to be no general or very destruc
tive visitation, from these insect pests.
The remarks on efficiency of labor in
dicate a good, healthy condition. The
average being 92. Some little (slowness
is reported in certain neighborhoods, but
generally there is no complaint.
Some Hints on the Baby's Food and
Treatment.
The baby's milk should I always be
boiled, so as to destroy any germs which
are apt to lurk in it. A . regular hour
for feeding the- baby is indispensable, as
feeding it every time it cries is not only
bad a3 a habit, but in time will ruin the
child's digestion. Two nursing bottles
are necessary, so that they may be kept
exquisitely clean; hot water and soap are
the best cleaners. When being fed the
baby should be taken from its cradle,
and when he has had enough put back
again to sleep, but it is a bad habit to
leave the bottle in bed with a child, as
it is apt to fall asleep and drink part of
the milk cold. .Any milk remaining in
the bottle should not be warmed over,
but fresh milk given each time.
When a baby is 6 or 7 months old the
milk should be thickened with barley
water, and a year old baby should eat
bread and butter, farina, hominy, etc.,
made into porridge, lightly boiled eggs,
and have milk to drink, This affords a
variety, and one or two articles Can be
given at each meaL It is a great mis
take to allow a baby of a year or two to
eat meat or vegetables.
A spoonful of lime water in a little
milk will sometimes cure colic. '
Washing the baby's eyes with warm
water, in which has been dissolved a lit
tle powdered borax, is cleansing and
good for sore eyes.
Almond, meal put in water will soften
the tender skin when chafed or scratched.
Toast water is good for a case of baby
indigestion.
Most coughs may be cured in a few
hours or at any rate in a few days, by
the use of Ayer's Cherry Sectoral.
With such a prompt and sure remedy as
this at hand, there is no need of pro
longing the agony for weeks and rhonths.
Keep this remedy in your house,
iim

The following from the Wilkesboro
Chronicle bears upon the question
whether the blue birds were frozen to
death last winter: Wm. Williams, of
Lewis Fork township, while clearing
on some ground last week, found in an
old hollow tree twelve blue .birds. Thev
" 1 mi
were dead and clustered together. They
, had frozen during the winter. Mon
roe, May 30. There was a great deal
of surprise and talk to-day when it be
came known that the Monroe Cotton
Mills will be sold at public auction on
July 31st next, to satisfy indebtedness
to the amount of about $54,000. As
there were a number of small stock
holders, it is very much to be regretted
that this step was found necessarv. for
it will be a death-blow to inducing peo
ple 01 small means to invest m any
kind of similar enterpiise in the near
future. It is said that at the beginning:
of the year 793 the debt was $59,000
and since that time it has been reduced
to $54,000 and in the meantime $6,000
was invested in new machinery and all
interest paid on the debt. All this
came from the earnings of the factory.
John Wesley and the Farmer.
A farmer went to hear John Wesley
preach. He was a man who cared little
about religion; on the other hand, he was
not what we call a bad man. His atten
tion was soon excited and riveted.
Wesley said he ; would take up three
topics of thought; he was talking chiefly
of money. His first was, "Get all you
can.'.' The farmer nudged a neighbor
and said: ,fThis is strange preaching; I
never heard the like before; this is very
good. That man has got things in him;
it is admirable preaching." John
Wesley discoursed on "industry," "activ
ity," "living to purpose," and reached
his second division, "Save all you can."
The farmer became more excited. "Was
there ever anything like this ?" he said.

farmer rubbed his hands as he thought,

youth upX And what with getting, and
what with hoarding, it seemed to him
that " salvation" had come to his house.
But Wesley advanced to his third head,
which was, "GiveKall- you can." Ah,

has gone and spoiled it all." Onward.
