It runs for thirteen or fourteen miles along Reddles river, a typical mountain stream, which has Its source '. beyond the top of the Blue Ridge and literally leaps down its sides for hnn dreda of feet to the valley below, then winds through valley and cliffs some fourteen miles and joins the Yadkin , within the corporate limits of North Wilkesboro. There are numerous water powers along this stream from 100 to 400 horse power, which will be developed when this road is built. Then for the mountain tourist there will not be prettier route In North Carolina. Winston Sentinel: A. reportcomesfrom Durham that J. B. Duke, president of the American Tobacco company, while In Durham on a visit to his father, Wash ington Duke, sent for a colored barber to come up and shave him. .The barber is a prominent member in St. Joseph's col ored Methodist church, which had an In debtedness of some $3,000. During the shaving process the facts were made known to Mr. Duke, who, when the op- eration was over, tendered his check to cover the Indebtedness John Merrick says (t is the" largest price he ever re ceived for a single share, t. Salisbury Sun: Wednesday: ntgh Mess. A. L. and L. D. Carter, of this county, left for British Columbia, where they will live. When they purchased their tickets they paid Ticket Agent Johnston In rusty silver coins. He In quired as to the cause of the rust on all their silver and the Mess. Carter told him it had probably been burled for . many years. Several days ago a little girl at their borne was playing under a house where chickens had been scratching and discovered a large amount of money. She immediately reported the matter and the Mess. Carter recovered the entire sum. They think the money was buried years ago by some one who either died or forgot where they had secreted it They did not state ths amount of money they found. A negro man and four women visited Greenville from the country and made raid on the stores. Their plan was for one ta engage a storekeeper, pretending to want to buy, while the' other stole anything bandy. They worked number of stores in that' way and then started for the country. 8ome of the goods were massed, and a party started in pursuit, overtaking the wagons five miles out. Tbey bad some of the goods with them and bad hidden portions of the stealings in the woods. The pur suers made them go in the woods and find the goods, and in all a lot of white goods and embroideries, two capes, a pair of shoes, a suit of clothes and two pieces of calico were recovered. The negroes were all brought back to town and had a trial before a justice of the peace, who sent them on to superior court. Greensboro Bcord: One's mind has much to do with disease. A gentleman in this section sent for a well known physic an the other day and told him he had appendicitis; that his brother bad been successfully operated on for it and now he had it. After a diagnosis lasting about half a minute he was told he did not have it that the pain was in the Wrong side from that where the appen dix was located. After being convinced that such was the case, tbe doctor left him, put next day was consulted t again. This time the patient said he was all right; that the pain was now on tbe cor rect and proper side. A more extended diagnosis was made to satisfy him, but there was nothing the matter with him except a slight disturbance of the digest ive organs caused perhaps by overload ing the stomach, yet be is firmly con vinced that he has a well developed case of appendicitis and he will not be satis fied until he goes north- and has some man "carve" him up, It has been said that halt of tbe ailments, described more particularly , in patent . medicine adver tisement, is responsible for much work physicians are called on to do.

Three separate minor ty reports on the Cuban reciproc ity bill were filed Saturday by Repre en tatlves Robertson, of Louisiana; New- lands, of Nevada, and Cooper, of Texas, all Democrat. Mr. Robertsonsays in part: - "The bill, if enacted into law, would afford no relief to tbe Cuban treasury. I believe that the benefits would go ioto the pockets of a few sugar planters own ing thousands of acres of land. The twenty per cent, reduction would not go to tbe relief of the Cuban people but would go immediately ' and entirely to fill the already overflowing coffers of the sugar refineries of the United States known by the name of the sugar trust." Mr. Robertson expresses astonishment that one - of his Democratic associates (Mr. McClellan) in his report refers to tbe bill as a enunciation of "Democratic doc trine of reciprocity." , Mr.' Robertson adds: "it seems to me mat tnat una of re ciprocity is absolutely, impossible tinder a Democratic tariff. Should the tariff ever be revised on the line and plane of tbe principles of the Democratic party, reciprocity would be entirely unnecessary and impossible, as the rates would not be prohibitive and the extension of our trade would as a natural consequence flow from the imposition df such tariff rates without tbe necessity of reciprocity. The bill is highly In the Interest of the trust, grants no relief to .Cuba nor to the people of the United States, violates the "' "' 1 " TV I - .' . V "V .
