It - ran'e th-it many per
f. do ail in their power to ovtr
frow railroad .corporatiohw wbe;
tiiHse roads have been the rai ans to
npiift them. We do not"beUev' in
giviDfj railroads advantages to the
detriment of tb people, bat there
are bat few instances in which this
is done. It seems that some peo
ple try to get hurt on the roads i;
crder to bafs an opportunity to
tae for damages, and in these suits
zn&oy of them obtain more cash
ifcaa their eatire; lives are worth
If railroad authorities through
carelessness, cause a wreck and
lives arc lost or injured, then they
cagbt to pay a reasonable amount
to the iajared and ought not to be
co 33 pel led to go to law and spend
thousands of dollars in order to de
lend their rights. When they go
to law 13 nine cases ont of ten they
are the losers. There seems to be a
prejudice in tbe mind of most peoc
pie agaiust railroads and we are un
able to eeV why it is so. ' When the
North Carolina Central tailroarl
was built, there . lived an old man
aud his wife iu Homan coanty who
were bitterly opposed to the road
crossing their land. .
Persuasion, money, or auy thing
else could not obtain their consent.
Tbe road was bailr. This old man
and his wife went to the tra.'k each
dy and fat upon it to hinder tie
cars. Foe a few times the cars were
stooped to remove the living: ob.

The internal revenue bill has not
been entirely completed, bat it pro
bably will be this week. It has
been definately decided to donb'e
the tax on cigarettes; to tax play
ing cards, and to tax inheritances.
The income taxis still undecided
but tbe probability is that the tax
on net incomes of "corporations
which wa first agreed opon by the
committee, will- remain in the bil!,
the understanding, being that ttose
members of the committee who fa
vor a personal Income tax instead
will ba at liberty to offer that a
substitute tor the corporation in
come tax and. leave it to a majority
ot the House to decide vvhlcD, if
either of them, shall remain iu the
bill, Hepresentative Bryan, of
Nebraska, Abo is recognized as the
leader o the democrats ou tbe
Ways and Means committee who
favor the personal income tax, has
not abandoned hope of wiinning in
the committee. He. said on the
Mibject : "The fact that the corpor
i;tion tax would bear heavily on
many" people with very limited

Sarsaparilla
S. P. Smith, of Towanda, Pa.,
whose constitution was. completely
broken down, is "cured by Ayer's
Sarsaparilla. Rewrites:
"Tor eight years, I waa, most of th
time, a great sufferer from constlpa
tlon, kidney trouble,. and indiges
tion, so that my constitution seemed
to be completely broken down. 'I-was
induced to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla, And .
took nearly seven . bottles, with such
excellent results that, my stomach,
bowels, and kidneys are in perfect con
dition, and," in 'all 'their functions,--as
regular as clock-work. ' At the time
I begau taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla, my
weight was only 129 pounds; I now can
brag of 159 pounds, and was never in so.
good health. If you could see me be
fore and after using, you would want
me for a traveling advertisement.
I believe this preparation oi Sarsaparilla
to be the best in the market to-day."
