Decision of Vital Importance.
The Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States in an opinion tiled on
Monday affirmed the decision of
the Supreme Court of North Caro
lina in the canes of licit, -r vs. the
Slate and llelizerand Taaks vs. the
State. There cases were of vital
importance to the people ot this
Stitte. The hift involved the (pies
tion of the validity of the Consti-
tiiiiotia! amendment of ISM) which
prohibited the General Assembly
irom pajin'or assuming any of
the State bonds, commonly known
HPH'cial tax bonds, of which theie
are tbout twelve million dolUrs out
standing. The other case involved
a claim of Jl'SiTHKi against the
Slate, growing out of the dealing
between the State and the old Chat-
haul Ualeigli Company in 1800,
when the Stite issued $2,0u(,0O0
of its b mds in exchange for mort
gage lajlids id the railroad. The
decision of the United Stales Su
preme Court is in favor of the
Slate in both cases. This decision
settles for all time to come the ques
tion ot the non-liability ol the State
tor the bonds fraudulently issued
by the Hecoiittruction Convention
of ISOS and the Legislature that
followed it. The people are to be
congratulated npon this favorable
termination of a long continued
and thieatening litigation. Ilaleigh

Uevenue Collector Simmons is
quoted as saying that there is more
illicit distillation of whiskey in the
eastern section of the State than
heretofore. A reason given for this
is the extension of tobacco culture.
Many of those who are growing and
curing tobacco have gone from the
Piedmont section and have carried
with them the knowledge of tnuking
moonshine whiekty. Business wa
heavy during thepatt winter. Now
it is falling oft, because of decreased
demand by the retailers. The regis
tered distillers are also doing k-ss

"One half of the world does not
know how the other halt lives."
This is truth beyond the shadow of
a doubt. It was only last Sunday
that one of our leading physicians
was called to tee a colored patient
in the very heart of the city. It
was a mother confined to bed and
there were two little dots playing
about the floor. Tue woman frankly
admitted that she and the children
had been without food for two days,
and had no means with which to
tiuy provisions. The husband was
away drinking, she knew not where.
It was a pitiable case and we doubt
not but there are many others in
this community equally as orient.

Hill on Conventions.
Possibly you don't uppreciato the
fact that consultation is absolutely
necessary before a convention is
held. Public sentiment toward tho
different candidates outle itself
pretty well in advance. But if the
delegates should go ahead without
any guidance and without consulta
tion among leading men they would
make foolish mistakes oftentimes.
I recall a convention in my own
former city, Klinira, which was al
lowed to run itself. It was not an
important convention, and we tried
the experiment of letting the dele
gates act entirely on their own judg
ment and without prior comparison
of viows. When tho convention
was over they brought me the ticket.
I found that five of the seven men
named lived in one ward. Of course
the ticket was defeated.
Now, I do no, believe altogether
in what is known as the geography
of politics, but it is absolutely
necessary that the candidates on n
ticket shall represent different par s
of the state that they shall i:ot bo
chosen all from the Hino section.
Tho people who vote would resent
tho f'iet that all the honors of the
convention hid been bestowed on
one part ot' the state. If the nomi
nations are distributed to different
parts of the state the ticket will
stand a better chance of gutting a
tnaioritv of tho votes cast. That
is not politics: it is sense. From

Not Enough In Circulation Now.
Tho Wilmington Star says the
U. S. Treasury report issued Tues
day, showing the condition of the
gold reserve March 1st contains
two notable statement, one that
since January Oth, $3(1,681,528 iu
gold had been withdrawn from the
Treasury, $9,921,133 of which was
for ex port and $2, 1 5 ,o28 for "do-
nieftic use, which means that ihis
ainonut was withdrawn to pay for
the new bonds. And the draining
ptocess goes on. 1 he other is even
more significant, which tells us that
tho circulation decreased in the
month of February $fi0,978.55!).
ibis means that this much green
backs and! gold were withdrawn
from circulation, the greenbacks to
tie used in drawing gold from the
Treasury to pnrclnse bonds. This
is one of the evil consequences fol
lowing the issuing of bonds. Every
time this is dotie it results in aeon-
traction of the currency, causing a
greater ecarcity of money, the el
tects ot which are seriously felt,
especially in those sections of the
Country where there is ordinarily
an insufficiency of money.
Bill Nye's Last Lines.
These two paragraphs occurred
in the Inst funny letter which Pill
Nye ever published. He was iying
dead at his home at Puck Shoals
when the papers containing the
etter weie running through the
presses, and arrangements for his
funeral were probably being made
when the admirers of the humorist
were reading, with unusual interest,
what they knew was his last effort :
"Many years ago there lived in
New Haven a very bad boy. He
was born 145 years ago, and as he
is now dead I feel at liberty to

SPAIN WANTS TO FIGHT!
THE UNITED STATES ABOUT TO
INTO A FIGHT WITH A rUSSY
LITTLE NATION.
GET
Tho Wihiiingtoji (N. C.) Messon
for says : The Spanish outrage at
arcelona, and the great ferment in
Spin against tho United States,
and the evident purpose of men to
insult and injure United States
Minister Hannis Taylor, a native of
Newborn, N. C, at Madrid, all re
veal a wild spirit of insult and re
venge. Tho action of the United
States Senate relative to recognizing
(ho belligerency of tho Cubans is
the cau?e of this high excitement
and burning anger against the Uni
ted States. The Spaniards have al
ways been a bitter, vindictive, inso
lent and treacherous nation. Mis
iy overflows with examples.
When an infuriated mob a.siults
the home of an accredited minister
or consul, breaking windows and
stoning buildings and threatening
lives it is extremely significant.
The boastful Spaniards talk of wip
ing the earth with the American
people. Put the Government of
Spain keeps its head cool and level
and makes swilt apology ( r insults
offered, and takes all due precau
tion to prevent a recurrence of such
deviltry.
Uoes this country really want
war with Spain ? We do not be
lieve it. Only quite recently when
war was threatened with England,
or that appeal looked not improb
able, the sober, second thought of
the Amer'can people was "Let us
nave peace. e Uo not lor a mo
V
ment believe that our people desire
war now with bpain. It would
look as if wo were more ready to
deal in violence with a second class
Power than with a first class Power
if we go off into enthusiastic and
unwise Jingoism now as to Cuba
and Spain after behaving so ju.li
ciously and sensibly as to England
lut will there be war with Spain
if the benate resolutions should
pass tho House and bo approved by
the President 1 It may be that
such a most undesirable result wil
follow."
The New York Tribune, perhai
the most influential Republican pa
per iu ttie I inted States, savs this
"1 hey are, however, -an expres
sion of popular will, without re
gard to party, of which the Presi
dent can scarcely fail to take ac
count. If he adopts them as his
rule of action a crisis iu the affairs
not only of Cuba, but of Spain her
self, will lie at hand. For he w ill
then at once recognize the insnr
gents as belligerents. That is
perfectly legai right of any country
and not at all a cause for war, any
more than was Spain's recognition
of tho bout hern Confederacy in
lbGl. 1 et it can scarcely tail to
give rise to serious fiiction between
this country and Spaiu. There
is no use mincing words. This ac
ot Congress, if concurred in by the
President, will probably mean
rupture of friendly relations, and
possibly a war, with Spam. That
is a fact which the House of
Representatives, and after it the
President, have to consider. They
have also to consider the alternative
That is, to have a human slaughter
house maintained at our very doors."

either to stop his train or frighten
the child off the track, but it di

crushed under the wheels of the en

Says the Chiiago Chronicle: 'In
divorce case a few days ago in
the circuit court between Ileiurich
Gtoth and Emilic Groth, his wife,
it appeared that the husband was
;ed and heMe. while the wife is
heahhv, with property in her own
name fiom which the rents are f'o
month. A local tnde, silting in
the cae, granted a judgment of di
vorce, but em txKlied in tbe dejree
an order granting the Ltuband ali
ninny of f i0 a montli out oi his
wifestucome. He said that there
was as mncn moral obligation oa a
healthy and wealthy wife to support
sick ana helpless husband as there
was on the hnsband to support the
wife, if the cases were reversed."
And this statement of the equities
in the case is n A unreasonable.

The Distiller Surrendered.
For a week or two past, the peo
ple of Union county -have been
greatly disturbed over the opera
tions of an obnoxious distiller who
was doing business in the lower edgo
of the county. A preacher was
beaten and bis harness cut from his
horse. It was generally charged
that the distiller cither perpet.aied
these outrages or instigated them.
The people held indignation meet
ing, and finally, as the distiller was
obdurate, they docided to wipo his
distillery from the face of the earth.
It was decided that tho work should
be done to-day and it wa arranged
that the citizens would meet at an
appointed place, move on the distill
ery and destroy it. In the meantime,
efforts to induce the distiller to abate
the nuisance and move away were
made. He was informed of tho ac
tion of tho citizens and notified that
they would tako liim in hand to-day
in ease ho did not repent. The dis
tiller held out stubbornly until last
night, when he concluded that the
people meant what they said, and he
wisely repented. He sent in a flag
of truce. It was agreed that the
citizens of the community would
pay all the expenses and that the
distillery should ho instantly abol
ished. The newsof this happy end
ing of the trouble caused much re
joicing in Monroe, and 50 people
jubilated there to-day. Charlotte

The Telephone Competition Waxes Warmer.
Winston has now two Telephone
Exchanges, and although an effort
is being made to down the Pell sys

were here to stay, and should this
prove the case, will render it neces
sary for the business men to have
and pay tor two phones instead of
one. Tho Bell Company's latest
deal, we learn, is to offer two phones,
one at place of business and one at
residence for the price charged by

Child Burned in a Conflagration.
Tuesday morning a small tene
ment house near the saw mill of the
Conedon Lumber Co.. was destroy
ed by fire, its contents and the ad
joining house slightly injured. The
money loss was small, lhe worst
feature of the fire waa that the oc
cupant had left her little child
about three years old in the house
while she went to a house opposite
it to work and the child waa burned
in the house. The flames when
first seen were issuing from the
opposite side of the house from
which tha chimney was, and had
gained such headway that the rescue
could not be made, though the
child's scream could be heard as it
waa dying in anguish from the
flames. Newbern Journal.

sured, the policy being taken ont
wiih the New York Life. Tbe old
man was kept intoxicated oy Lester
until Davis' w ife became disgusted
and wrote to the Insurance Com
pany what was going on. The
Company cancelled the policy, after
which ofd man Davis could not get
a drink Irom lister.

of lister's houses was destroyed by

While no physician or pharmacist
can conscientiously warrant a cure,
the J. C. Ayer Co. guarantee the
purity, strength, and medicinal
virtues of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It
was tho only blood-purifier ad
mitted at the great World's Fair in
Chicago. 1893.
A man with good health, a clear
conscience, a determination to work
and do right, will get along in this
world. You cannot keep such a man
down. It is a pitiable sight, however,
to see a bundle of so many posdibili
tiessittingon a goods box railing be
cause everything is not done just as
lie would do it, and waiting for the
Lord to Wke him by the largest ro
tunda of his pants and coat collar
and throw him into the land of
('anain. That man would muddle
the honey and sour the milk.
It is not to Iks wonderod at that
Ayer's Pills are in such universal
demand. For the cure of consti
pation, biliousness, or any other
complaint needing a laxative, these
pills are unsurpassed. They are
sugar-coated, easy to take, and
every dose is effective.
