The Drift to the Cities.
The Atlanta Journal Bays: "The
unfortunate rush of population from
the rural districts to the cities is
commanding; increasing attention.
Dr. Reynolds, of Chicago, in a
recent address before the conference
of charities and corrections at
Springfield urged that efforts should
be made to stop this drift of popu
lation. We all agree that this ought
to be done and he who will proposo
6ome way in which it can bo ac
complished must be considered a
benefactor ot his race. Dr. Rey
nolds did not oiler any practical
remedy for the evil. His only
suggestion was that statesmen and
sociologists should seek to promote
'those economic features that best
foster (he profit of the larm' and
make a dollar as easy to obtain in
the country as it is in the city.
Jut-t how this is to 1)0 done Dr.
Reynolds does not attempt to thow.
The doctor's intentions are good,
but his address embodies nothing in
the direction of practical reform.
In spito of the experience ol so
many young men and older ones
who leave farms to iniiko their
fortunes in town and accomplish
nothing but lutstiable failure ; in
spite of the overcrowded condition
of every profession, trade and
calling in nearly all our cities the
trend ol population from the larms
to the great centres ot population
continues and there is at present
little prospect that it will cease.
Bitter experiences may at last have
its due effect upon this movement,
but it is not probable that it will be
cheeked by any teacher less severe."
Congress is now in session. The
Spaniards had betterthrow np their
arms and submit to the inevitable.

BOARDS OP TRADE
MEET IN INDIANAPOLIS TO SOLVE THE
MONEY QUESTION.
What Mr. Adams said nt tho
meeting in Indianapolis hmt week:
"The Indianapolis Roard of Trade,
in common with the business in
terests of Ihi lotintry, believe that
the result of the recent election was
an earnest protest against the defeat
of our money system as well as a
positivo declaration in favor of
sound, stable and unfluctuating cur
roncy. In furtherance of thcro
views this board issued a call to the
boards of trade and commercial
bodies of what is known as the
Central West, inviting them to send
delegates to a preliminary eon
ferenee which convenes to day.
"This conference will consider
the advi. ability of issuing a more
extended call for a largo convention
of the commercial bodies ot the
principal cities to discuss the ques
tion what ought to bo done, t j cure
tho radical defects in our monetary
system, and if deemed practicable
and lor tho best interests ot all to
creato a non-partisan commission,
composed of able, experienced and
fair minded business men, whoso
duty shall bo to formulate a phm
which will removo existing weak
spot in our present cumbersome and
defective system, place tho finances
of tho nation on a sound and ade
quate basis and prevent thoposoibili
ty of frequent monetary disturb
ances.
"Permit mo to say, gentlemen,
that behind this call, in answer to
which you have convened to-dy,
thcro lurks no plan, no scheme or
possibility behind which it fa pro
posed to alter orchaiigeonr present
system on any particular pfan or
any special line. Within the last
thirty days tho people of this
country havo shown that they are
unalterably opposed to cheap and
fluctuating dollars of an uncertain
value.
"We must not take this expression
of tho people as a final and complete
settlement of the issues involved,
nor as an acceptance of our pres
ent monetary system, but rather as
protest against a step back ward.
Retween the lines of the returns ol
the recent election there is shown a
pronounced public sentiment favor
ing currency re for in with an evident
purpose on the part of conservative
and reflective uen to examine our
national finances and remove with
tho least possible delay whatever
weakness or delects may appear.
' Different views are entertained
as to methods of procedure and do
tails of pfans in the matter of cur
rency revision, but after grievous
and costly experience we are forced
to the Conclusion that tho time has
now arrived when the government
must cither discontinue the banking
business, with its expensive and
complicated system, or go into it on
a broader, better defined and more
comprehensive scale. The game is
not worth the candle. I lie burden
is too heavy to be safely borne and
no individual, corporation or gov
ernment can conduct business on a
safe and sound basis who has de
mand notes calling for millions of
dollars in existence and circulation,
which notes are liable in a pciiod
of stringency and panic to be
brought to the counter for redemp
tion, and when so redeemed are re
issued, thus acting as a standing
menace to the government reserve
and continued threat to the trade
and business of the country, causing
disturbance and unsettled values of
every character.
" I he cause of onr trouble is not
difficult to locate, to determine tho
best course to pursue and apply
remedial legislation that will provide
the great nation w i th a sound, uni
form and elastic currency, whether
it be gold, 6ilver or paper.
"It is the intelligent purpose and
paramount qnetion which will claim
the best thought and best judgment
of the conference which you are
about to consider the propriety of
calling.
"Politicians are proverbially
timid, even to tho verge of cowar
dice, but when sentiment is cr)stal
ized and given definite shape by the
commercial bodies and business men
of the nation, it locomes a mora!
force and n cognized power which
our law makers will not ignore or
refuse to heed.
"The attention ot tho country is
centered en this gatheiing, and well
it may be, for no movement of re
c nt years has embodied so much
thought, cariiestnetS of purpose and
exalted aim and the given promise
of such fruitful results as the action
you are about to take."
Yes! Yon fellows havo no au
thority for saying this country is
not now ready for a change in our
financial system. The present system
is the result of the scheming mil
lionaires ot our nation the present
system makes the rich richer and
the poor p.orer. (io home and
stay there and eep your nasty
noses out of the financial mattes of
this country and the common peo
ple will get together and regulate
matters in such a way that eurv
man will have an equal showing !

Defenceless Prisoners Shot Down by
Spanish Soldiers.
('liable to crush the insurgent
armies, Captain (Jeneral Weyler
has, according to Cuban advices,
renewed his war on non-combatants
with savaj;o energy. It is at a ted
(tint no some wneks ago issued a
secret order to his commanders in
the various provinces to clear tho
country of uon combatants. This
order has. been interpreted by tho
Spanish commanders as an edict to
massacre old men, women and
children, and tho result is an ap
palling libt of butcheries.
Colonel Slruch, who has been
operating in Pinar del Rio at tho
head of a thousand men, seems to
have been most active in carrying
mo if e.j iui n b:ivhi;o court. vo
November IStii ho and his com
mand started on a tajd. They vis
ited Rio Hondo, Palacios, Paso
Real nnd other small towns in tho
southern portion of Pinar del Rio.
At every place Colonel Strticli
gave his troops lieerii-o to loot, bum
and murder, and the result was that
every hamlet visited w is destroyed.
During tho raid the Spanish troops
made prisoners of over 300 Cubans
tho great majority of whom were
women and young girls. These
unfortunates were forced to follow
the troopers.
On tho night of Novemlicr 23,
Colonel Strueli and his men drank
heavily, and then hollowed ono of
tho most horrible occurrences of tho
war. Inflamed by drink, the Span
ish sol.lieis rushed upon the help
less prisoners, tore off their clothing
and subjected them to horrible treat
ment.
Finally, Colonel Struch sii'iiin-
cantly told his men that it was no
uso to bo longer bothered by the
Uibau cattle.' Iho soldiers took
the hint And immediately began
tiring on the old men, women and
girls. Volley after volley of lead
was lireJ at the cowering and
shrieking creatures, until not one
was left alive.
The bodies of the victims were
left for the vultures, and Colonel
Struch marched his command hack
to headquarters and reported to
Captain-! icneral Weyler thatsevei
al insurgent camps had been "raided
and over ."on rebels k.lled."
Colonel Struch and many of his
:'ers received furloughs in con
sideration of their services and re
turned to Havana. Since going to
Havana Colonel Struch has, it is
said, openly boasted of tho awful
slaughter of innocents.
From other provinces come stories
of massacres of innocents, but none

Spain Getting Ready.
A Madrid correspondent ol tho
New York World says: (Jreat ac
tivity continues in all Spanish ports,
particularly in Cartageiins, where
the full available strength is now
employed in fitting out six ironclads
and three cruisers, which, with the
Glasgow torpedo boat destroyers,
will makes powerful flying squad
ron. I hear that the Spanish Govern
ment has accepted specifications
and has given an KIsvick firm an
ordr tor a powerful battle ship and
a cruiser. Rut as no money what
ever has come to hand in Newcastle,
nothing has yet been done toward
their construction.
In case ot need the cruiser could
be ready in a year, nt it would
take twice as long to finish the iron
clad. I understand the cruiser is
designed for exceptional speed, and
that it would be able to coal for
5,000 knots at twenty-three knots
hourly.
Dyspepsia Twenty-Five Years.
Mr. A. Y. Sheats, Kingston, Ga,,
says, May 3 1st, 1S;'5: "I was
troubled with Dyspept-ia for twenty
five years, and could get no per
manent relief from any treatment
or medicine until I liegan the use
of King's Ryal Uerinetucr, some
live years ago. It gave me great
relief, and after the lapse of five
years, I ca.n recommend it as the
Ijest medicine I know of for Indi
gestion and Dyspepsia." This case
is but one out ol thousands which
prove that lor Indigestion, Dyspep
sin, and all stomach troubles, Germ

The Glendon k Gulf Railroad.
The (ilendon and Gulf Railroad
is a short line that now runs through
Chatham and Moore counties.
Charlotte is to be the Southern
terminus of the road and Durham

Tho Chatham Record says that
work is being actively pushed on
the Glendon & Gulf railroad. The
new bridge over Deei river has
boon completed, to take the place
of tho ono that was destroyed some
time ago, and the trains aro now
running for a distance of two miles
beyond Deep river to a point where
a new depot building has been erect
ed. Another locomotive has re
cently been purchased and is now
used on tho road. About, fifty la
borers aro employed in grading tho
extension of tiie road towards Char
lotte, which progressive city is to
loo tho southern terminus while
Durham is to bo its northern. The
president and largest tockholder in
this company is Mr. John It. Len
ning, of Philadelphia, who has re
cently visited and inspected tho
company's property in this and
Moore county, and is much pleased
with tho outlook.
Independence for Cuba.
United States Senator A. O. Ua-
con, of Georgia, says :
" 1. nless opiuion has changed very
materially, and I do not believe
that it has, there is an undoubted
majority in the present IIouso and
Senate in favor of what some might
call radical action, that is, tho inde
pendence of tho republic of Cuba
being recognized by tho American
Congress. I am not a member of
the Foreign Relations Committee,
and do not know whether the Re
publican majority will prevent ac-
tkn until McKinley is inaugurated,
but 1 am in favor of the independ
ence of Cuba, will so vote, and be
lieve that a majority will do like
wise if the opportunity is present
ed."' Lot Congress act quickly.
You Can Be Well
When your blood is pure, rich and
nourishing for nerves and muscles.
Tho blood is the vital fluid, and
when it is poor, thin and impure
you must either suffer from some
distressing disease or you will easily
fall a victim to sudden changes ex
posure, or overwork. Keep your
blood pure with Hood's Sareaparilla
and be well.
Hood's Pills are the best after
dinner pill; assist digestion, cure
headache. 25c.
An Angel of Mercy.
Truly, the miraculous cures of rheu
matism made by Salvation Oil, justly
earned for it the title : an angel of
mercy ; for many bed-confined rheu
matics have experienced the great, cur
ative properties of this modem lini
ment. "I used Salvation Oil for rheu
matism and found it a sure cure. I
used three bottles and am now perfect
ly well, and I would feel myself a bene
factor if I could Induce every person
afflicted with rheumatism to try Salva
tion Oil." James U. Bryant, Pebruhls,
N. C. oalvation Oil is sold everywhere
for 25 cents, but some dealers may say,
"we are out of It," hoping to sell a
cheap substitute instead. Insist on
getting Salvation Oil, or go to some
other dealer who will sell it to you.

Aching Joints
Announce the presence ot rheuma
tism which causes untold suffering.
Rheumatism is.due to lactic acid m
the blood. It cannot be cured by
liniments or other outward applica
tions. Hood's Sarsaparilla purifies
the blood, removes tho causa ot
rheumatism and permanently cures
this disease. This is the testimony
of thousands of people who once
siiHered the pains of rheumatism
but who have actually been cured
by taking Hood's Sareaparilla. Iu
great power to act upon the blood
and remove every impoiity is tho
secret of tho wonderful cures by
Hood's Sarsaparilla.
