Wynne, a late candidate for the mayoralty nom ination, to Mayor Powell, who was re nominated. Mr. Wynne thought Mr. Powell could , not afford to accept the nomination under the circumstances as he received about one-fifth of the votes in the city and the nomination was given him In the convention .by another delegation voting" for hm In disregard of their instructions. Mr. Wynne hinted that , an independent Powell accepts the 1 nomination, but ex pressly declines to run himself though importuned by a dissatisfied public to do so. The. effect of the latter was to cause the board of aldermen, a ma jority of whom are nominees for re election, to- withdraw the call for an election on city extension, which had been called at the same? time as the municipal election. They feared the extension would be the means of get- Jting out a 'full vote that would en hance the chances of an independent ticket to win.

"One of our customers, a highly re spected citizen of this place, had been for ten years a sufferer from chronic diarrhoea," writes Waiden & Martin, druggists, of Enterprise, Ala. , "He had used various patent preparations and been treated by physicians without any permanent benefit. A few months ago he commenced taking Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and in a short time was entirely cured. Many citizens of Enterprise who know the gentleman will testify to the truth fulness of this statement." For sale by R. R. Bellamy. FREE MAIL DELIVERY. Petitions to Postoffice Department. s Deceiving' Many Negroes. (Special to The Messenger.) Fayetteville, J. C, April 6. The yearly receipts of the Fayetteville postoffice now exceed by $2,202.47 the amount necessary to entitle the city to free mail delivery by carriers. But the government requires the fprm of a petition from the citizens before the conveniences is granted, and Postmas ter McCaskill has placed at different points about town blanks fOr signa tures. The friends of prohibition here are meeting enough obstacles to discour age them. FayetteviHe and Cumber land county have beent"dry for some time, so far as dispensary or bar rooms are concerned, thouerh there was noth ing to prevent the bringing of liquor in from other towns within the state; but, the last legislature made even this a violation of law. Within a few days an illicit liquor still has been captured wtnm a ' mile of the corporate limits, two keepers of "blind tigers" have been arrested, and Ashley, a negro, has been carried ' before a : magistrate, for bringing two gallons of whiskey down from Dunn, claiming that he was only acting under the orders of his employ er, Mr. C.

Exciting? Runaway. (Special to The Messenger.) Goldsboro, N. C, April 6, The frost yesterday morning did considerable damage to fruit and vegetables. The bean vines which had just come through the ground were more than half destroyed and a number of truck ers will replant their entire crop. The bean crop is 'right extensive around Goldsboro and the loss will be quite heavy to truckers. Those who replant cannot get on the market early enough to sell for good prices. The pea crop also suffered. The crop was in full bloom on account of the re cent mild weather and the frost killed all the blooms that It touched. It is too late to replant peas and the crop will be cut off at least 75 per cent. Po tatoes and other early vegetables suffer ed as well as the fruits, such as apples, peaches and pears. It is feared that the peach crop will be a total failure. Raising of strawberries is not engag ed in very extensively around this city, but along the -Atlantic Coast Line "be tween here and Wilmington are the largest fields in the world. The crop had just begun to ripen and light ship ments had already been made. It is estimated that the freeze will cut off the crop at least 25 per cent. The colored 'hack driver Jeff Bright, who drives for Mr. Sam Eason, wsa thrown from his vehicle and unjured right badly by a runaway, horse this morning. His horse became frightened at the corner of Walnut and William streets and turned the vehicle over at once, throwing the driver out. Then the horse proceeded to free itself from the vehicle, which he" scattered for some distance along the street. "JSVhen final ly captured the horse had nothing but the shafts hitched to hinx. j An event of much interest to the pleasure seeking society folks of our city is the Fourth annual Firemen's j ball and bartquet under the auspices of j Goldsboro Fire Co.

The party is composed of four Christian workers. Professor S. M Smith, of Elon College, N. C, Rev. Charles Elmer Ferman, of New York; Rev. John "Thomas Jenkins, Marietta Ga., and Rev. Walter Holcomb, Mon treal N. C. These gentlemen r were heartily re ceived by our citizens and made a pro found impression on our people. In deed these gentlemen were given a lit eral ovation. Such interest and enthu siasm in Sunday school work was nev er before manifested in Clinton.

' -Richmond, Va., April 6. The answer of . Judge Clarence J. Campbell of Am herst county, to the alleged causes of bis removal, was presented In both houses of the general assembly , today and ordered printed. I Judge Campbell denies the " right of the general assembly to rempye him and sets forth his reasons in detalL One of his main contentions is that he holds office under the new constitution, which he swore to support July 15th, 1902, and that the assembly therefore, cannot Uiold him amenable for any matters which occurred prior to that date. Another leading contention is that causes of removal can be warranted and justified only by inquiry on jjthe part of the whole assembly sitting as a court. The house alone to say nothing of one of Its committees is not competent, he contends to hear charges and findings of removal. j ' I THE TILLMAN TRIAL. Cane Will be Called op on the 13th of This Month In Colombia. ' I Columbia, S. C, April 6. At the open ing session of the regular term of the criminal court in this city ths morning, Solicitor Thurmond, of the) Columbia I circuit announced that the case of James H. Tillman, charged; with the killing of N. G. Gonzales, .editor of The State in this city last: January, would be called up on the 13th of this month. i It is stated that no change of venue has been asked by Tillman,, who it is understood is anxious for trial. Great interest has been manifested In the ap proaching trial. It is stated, eighty- three witnesses have been summoned by the defense, while as many nave been subpoened by the prosecution. Inside Atlantic Channel. The Times-Union has frequently ad vocated the improvement of the inside waterway up the Atlantic coast, and is in sympathy with the efforts of Representative Small and. ? others in behalf of the work. The project that they advocated before the board of trade contemplates for the present on y the deepening of the channel between Chesapeake bay and Beaufort inlet, but if this were accomplished the work would sooner or later be extended so as to make an inside waterway from Miami to Boston. The part of the work that Mr. Small and his colleagues ar4 now pressing on the attention of the public is m some respects the most important Jink of the chain. Th3 chief danger point to coastwise traffic is Cape Hatterap. Seagoing barges wothd be in little dan ger on the ocean -south of Beaufort in let, or north of the entrance; to the Chesapeake. The storms that prevail off Hatteras make their passage risky. From Beaufort inlet to thp eastern end of Long Island there is already a waterway sheltered by l4nd. The North Carolina sounds are connected with Chesapeake bay by the Albe marle and Chesapeake, and the Dismal swamp canals, respectively, seven and a half and seven feet deep. - The Ches apeake and Delaware nine feet deep, connects Chesapeake bay with Dela ware river, while the Delaware and Raritan, seven feet deep, gives New York an entrance into4the Delaware. At this end there are channels ex tending from Sanford to Charleston, protected by land. Nature has started the work, and sooner or later the United States government will com plete it. - U These waterways, if properly im proved, would Insure a great saving in freight' Besides this, they would make possible steamboat connection! between cities on different rivers emptn;? into the Atlantic. The work is needed con sidering only the requirements of com merce. But its importance for defence is equally as great. A channel sixteen feet deep would be sufficient io permit the passage of all the coast defense vessels except the Puritan many of the smaller cruisers, all the gunboats, all the torpedo boat destroyers and all the torpedo boats of the navyj If such a channel were completed the defensive part of the American navy I could go from point to point wherevei needed, in spite of the presence of a Easily su perior fleet on the ocean. The entire work- should be done, and that part of it which Mr. Small is especially work ing for would make a good beginning of a project which, when completed, would be of vast importance Florida Times-Union. A disordered stomach may . cause no end of trouble. When the stomach falls to perform Its functions the bowels be come deranged, the liver and kidneys congested, causing numerous! diseases, the most fatal of which are painless and therefore the more to be dreaded. The important thing is to restore stomach and liver to a healthy condition, and for this purpose no better preparation can be used than Chamberlain's Stom ach and Liver Tablets. For sale by R. R.
