rrrtnei for Imnurities ef the blood. After use-
rno-two small hottles I was relieved. At four
d'Serent times since I have bad slight attacks

Greenville Reflector:
Today receipts at
the tebaecc warehouses went still higher;
there being about '160,000 pounds oh ; the
rnarket. Prices were higher also, several
lots bringing as high as $3$. For some
days ' ccrn and meal have been coming-
to merchants here! from other states.
This looks like the home crop of corn is
about to become exhausted before the
crop Is ready for Iharvest.-- Mr. R. B.
Bynum, near Farmville, says he has twen
ty .acjses in cotton from which he expects
to gather tWen'ty-five bales of cotton,
averaging 500 pounds, ;if nothing happens
to injure the crop between new and
harvest. . Mr. Jacl leaker, of the same

Raleigh Nsw and
Observer: The Christ
ian Sun ow this week annouces the death
of Rev. Dr. James Maple. at his home-in
Bennington, Ohio. He was the first pastor
of the Christian church in Raleigh, and
was a singularly gifted preacher. He was
also a devoted Odd Fellow.- -On the night
of July 23rd. near . Culberson, Cherokee
county, a most diabolical murder was
committed. Ida Young, a negro woman
about 15 years old, was in a delicate' con
dition, the father of . the child expectant
being Asbury Nichols. Asbury Nichols
and his uncle, James Nichols, went -to the
girl's house, drew jpistols on the people
who lived with her, pulled' Ida Young, out
of bed, kicked, beat and abused her and
then shother. She died July. 2iUh from
her injuries. Her jlying declaration was
taken;; in this she wore that it was As
bury Nichols who shot and abused her.
The coroner's jury I in its findings impli
cated Asbury Nichols, James Nichols and
Paley Culberson. The latter is in jail, but"
the Nicholes have fled the state.

(By Associated Press.)
New York, August. 16. There were
.periods today when the market for
stocks had an appearance ol actual
dullness, but this was only by contrast
with reeent markets. The total sales
fell below 500,000 shares by over 50,000
shares', something it did not do for any
whole trading day in last week. There
was a large falling off also in the ac-r
tivity in the bond department. What
ever striking animation there was, was
in the first hour of trading. The buy
ing during, this period was bri,sk, ar
bitrage brokers joining with the com
mission house agents to swell the de
mand. This represented the working
off of the accummulation of orders re
ceived, by commission houses over Sun
day. London was nuymg some oi tne
international shares at the: same time
that it was selling others. As a result
of this-lively demand prices bounded
lightly upward, new high record prices
for-the year being made in a number
of prominent stocks. The grangers
were actively traded in at the higher
level, Burlington showing j the sharps
est gain, but St.. Paul being most ac
tively dealt in. St. Paul was the lead
er of the, list and was quite largely
bought for London account. Burling
ton touched 99 in the opening qeau
ings, but closed a point below that.
The . other grangers moved over a
much narrower range, but closed but
little above the lowest. The upward
bound of -prices at the opening invited
realizing. The profesional bears added
their utmost efforts. They ;had in their
favor some reports of crop damage in
the west and the result was soon shown
in a reaction in prices of the grangers
and southwesterns which had a sym
pathetic effect upon the whole list.
Prices of many stocks were carried
below Saturdays close. Although there
was a firmer tone, later, and some
slight recoveries, the market failed to
fully regain its tone before the close,
and, consequently, prices of most of
the actye leaders of the inarket show
only : slight ehanges from yesterday.
,The . net changes, though slight, are
mostly gains, one or two of the grang
ers being exceptions. The undertone
of strength in the market was again
strikingly manifested by the dullness
that set in upon the decline in prices'
Sugar again assumed a prominent part
in the dealings and touched a new.
high record price at 149, but, reacted
nearly a point before the close. io-
bacco was also largely dealt $n, open
ing at a sharp gain, but selling off dur
ing the day. Chicago Ga$s also show-ett
some signs of renewed aetivtty, but
It suffered from the reaction to the
market. Although the early strength
carried many stocks to a point or over
i above i Saturday's close, the gain was in
peake and Ohio and Cleveland, Cin
cinnati Chicago and St. Louis, were,
notably firm all day, closing inear the
top. The latter preferred stocks were
1 biet up 5 points,
I The total sales of stocks for the day
j were 413,161 shares,' including: Atchl-
son preferred 23,142, Chesapeake and
Ohio 21,590. Chicago, 'Burlington and

ket showed a marked di
minution in the volume of trading, as
compared with recent averages, the to--tal
falling short of $2,000,000. The spec
ulation also lacked the aegregessive
strength, but the market wasrfairly
well supported and some 'substantial
gains were registered in the less known
issues. The aggregate transactions
were $1,935,000. Governments were
heavy and receded a fraction on light
offerings.
The wheat market developed pro
nounced activity and strength today,
breaking the best previous price for the
season by lc above. All day the mar
ket was in a nervous, erratic Condi
tion' with quotations moving violently
over a range of about 2 cents a bushel.
Shorts were completely demoralised
by the scarcity of offerings and abund
ance of bull news and their excited ef
forts to even up was one of the feat
ures of the day.- At times realizing
sales reached proportions sufficiently
larg to break prices sharply, but the
market's Inherent buoyancy caused a
prompt rally on each occasion ajid the
close was very firm, although-unsettled,
at 2c to 2c net advance. For
eign houses added to the general bull
feeling on 'change. They bought, in
all, about fifty loads, of which sixteen
loads of guaranteed No. 2 red were for
France.. On top of this demand was a
strong set of English cables and a de
crease of 1,462,500 bushels in the En
glish visible. Today September wheat
opened at 91, aganst 89 on Saturday,
advanced to 92, then easing off a
little, closed at 91c. Transactions were,
the heaviest in many days, reaching
11,655,000 bushels. Cash wheat was
quoted at from 95c to 96c forNo. 2
red, according to delivery f. 6. b."afloat.
The' total stock of wheat in New York
is 750,093 bushels, 'of which about 285,
000 bushels is contract. The strength
in other markets of the country ail had

Knowingyourcolumns to be open to the

beg space to correct your correspondent
of the 5th Inst., under above heading.
He says "the fence commissioners.
through their chairman, Mr. T. J.
Armstrong, was cited to appear before"
the' county commissioners on Tuesday,
the 3rd inst., charged with misappro
priating the fence funds. They com
pletely exhonorated themselves." The
facts, are as follows: v
The records of the board of county
commissioners failing to show that an-i
nual reports had been made of the dis
bursements of the, special fence fund
as required by chapter 246 laws of
1885. At the request of taxpayers, the;
county commissioners passed an order
on the first Monday in March requir
ing T. J. Armstrong, chairman of ; the
f nee commissioners and custodian of
the special fence fund to appear on the
first Monday in April and file an item
ized statement and exhibit vouchers
for all money expended by him. He ap
peared and asked to be allowed until
the first Monday in June to file his
account, which request was granted.
On the first Monday in June he did
not appear and sent in only the report
required for 1897, without a single
voucher. "
Objection was raised by taxpayers
to accepting this report, as it did not
cover, the whole time unaccounted for,
end at the request of -Mr. J. T. Bland
his attorney, he was given until Tues
day after the first Monday in July to
report, at which time he was still ab
sent and had no report; but his attor
ney, who had asked for the extension
of time, sought to protect him by rais
ing the question of juriscuction of the
present board to go behind the date of
their own; existence to investigate his
accounts. This waa overruled and the"
board passed one more order" requiring
him (and at the request of his lawyer
and the whole board of fence commis
sioners) to appear oris Tuesday after
the first Monday' iri August with item
ized statement and vouchers for all
money expended by hfm.
This time he was present with other
members of his board, but filed no ac
count: He had no report nor a written
statement of any kind, but through his
counsel '.pleaded with the board to ac.
ppnt the verbal statement of himself and
other interested parties that he had
made to the old board the annual report
required of him by law, and notwith
standing the register of deeds and the
clerk of the county commissioners for
the" whole time not accounted for re
peatedly declared he had faithfully
recorded all reports and other paper
writings approved by the old board,
arid in spite of the appeals of taxpay
ers that Armstrong be required to re
port in writing and the county records
made to .speak the .truth, . our
board of county commissioners re
ceded from all their orders and rulings
in this matter for the last five months
and allowed him to go free on the ver
bal statement, thus leaving their rec
ords without-the scratch of a pen or a
single ' voucher from Armstrong to
Show what has been done with the peo
ple's money, and this is what your.
correspondent calls '.'complete exonera
tion."
If Mr Armstrong's disbursements have
been proper he owes it to himself to
come out like an intelligent business
man and show the people who have
paid this special tax at his' instance
for the past ten years what he has
done with their money. It is but proper
to state that the present board of coun
ty commissioners have passed an order
requiring him from its. date to annually
make and swear tp an itemized re
port,k and exhibit proper vouchers for
all money disbursed. In justice to all
parties interested, we hope you will
publish this plain statement of facts.

Wheels of 1898.
Views on bicycles of next year's model
are numerous. In 1897 the price attracted
more attention than the wheel, but in
1898 the money question will be subordi-'
nate. Cyclists look upon the $100 bicycle
as gone.. The. Standard price will be some
where, we suppose, between $75 and .,$50.
Chainless wheels will surely be prominent
next spring, promising to put the greasy
chain wheels completely out of mind. Tub
ings next year will be about the same as
it is now. Gears of high, low and medi
um size will be on the market for choice,
but durlnsr this season the" liking for high
gears has developed greatly, probably as
the result of the greater strengtn wnipn
practice has brought to the average leg.
The radical genius, who is being heard
from, asserts that the 1898 bicyc-i will be
operated by either the arms or legs. This
souds more cranky than' interesting. : ,
The wheej'a mst vulnerable point, its
tire, is. being studied and experimented
with, with ardenjt desire for its improve-,
ment and with no little hope. It must be
possible to put into the rubber some ele
ment that would lessen its slipping on wet
pavements; .and it seems absurd tha.t
wheels destined to pass over jagged roads
should be 'left so puncturable. A less
puncturable tire and a tire which when
inflated will remain full inaennuely, is
greatly needed,
In. spite of the. promise of 189S, however.
owners of god bicycles needn't worry. A
good bicycle today will be good next year,,

We are inclined to think that the
publication - by the newspapers , of all
the horrid details, with such painful
minuteness, tends to increase -rather
than check the- crime. Such publica
