Unfavorable Report On The Bill To Elect County Superintendents. Dr. Alexander Will Introduce One Especially For Mecklenburg. (Special to Charlotte News.) RALEIGH, February 4. Representa tive Young, of Ashe county, introduced in the House to-day a bill to prevent the liquor from being imported into North Carolina. It prohibits the shipment of intoxicants from one point within the State to another within the State, then provides that in cases where the rail roads and express companies or other common carriers receive liquors at points without the State for delivery in North Carolina, such packages shall be conveyed to the first station within the borders of the State and notice sent to consignee, and if he does not apply for it at. that station with thirty days it shall be sold at auction. There are clauses exempting common earners from civil action for stopping the packages at the first station within the State instead of delivering at the shipping station of consignee. TO ELECT COUNTY SUPERIN TENDENTS. The house committee on education has decided to report unfavorably Butler's bill providing for the election of county superintendents and boards of educa tion by the people. Dr. Alexander in addressing the committee declared his personal opposition to such a bill but said that he was pledged to his people to support such a measure and would there fore vote .for this one. , He will later in troduce in compliance with the wishes of his constituents a bill for Mecklen burg to elect her educational board and superintendent, if no general bill is passed. "THE WHISKEY HOLE." More About The Disgraceful Situa tion At Marion. (Hendersonville Hustler.) The editor of the Marion News writes an editorial in which he gives the liquor conditions of that town. Any town that submits to such conditions as are set forth in that editorial, and we do not douot the conditions at all as our vet sonal knowledge of the editor is such that we know he does not misrepresent things, can. get accustomed to anything except hanging. The longer such con ditions exist the worse matters get to be. Marion is admirably located. Nature has done her part well but the town is doomed -to come to naught with the foundation that is being laid. Lives are being wrecked at home and the bad in flunce is spreading. The scent of ti e distilleries and hog pens is a stench in the nostrils of all decent people. Marion should at once shake off the obnoxious traffic and be classed among the better towns of the State. 4 (The Marion News.) In speaking of the bill passed by the senate prohibiting the manufacture and " sale of liquor in Richmond county, the writer in the Raleigh News and Obser ver used the following words. "It was not very long ago that a prominent capitalist from New England .visited Hamlet with the intention of es tablishing a large cotton mill industry there, but' when he discovered that the town and country were predominated by the whiskey interests, he abandoned his purpose and stated to several well known men that he did not want, to invest his money in any industry in that locality that , would give employment to the laboring people for fear that they would be demoralized by liquor. And it is notorious that Hamlet and Koffman are darker in their liquor light than any other place south of hell or east of Ma rion." Post Office To Move.

Views Of One Of The Sun's Worthy Correspondents. (Special to The Sun.) NANNEY, February" 4. We will try and give the readers of The Sun a few of our views in regard to the fam ily garden. If any should differ with us we would be glad to hear from them and hope to profit thereby. To begin would say we want our garden patch turned early but not too deep and very coarse. This will have a tendency to destroy worms and in sects and being broken coarse there will be a continual crumbling or re fining process going on alt the time during cold weather and the soil will not become packed by the heavy rain. Time for planting varies with dif ferent localities. Upland should have a heavy dressing of barnyard manure whicn has been finely chopped. It may then be broken closely and deepJy with a bull tongue plow to the depth of fifteen inches; then harrow and reharrow until it looks like a seed bed all over. Never stir the garden if it be the least bit too wet for you will do more harm than good. It will take your garden years to get over working it when wet. We now have our soil and manure all in good shape and ready for laying off of rows. A very liberal amount of commercial fertilizer may be used in a drill, being scattered in the furrow and followed with a small plow to mix the soil; or scattered in and on both sides of furrow, either way will do. It must be of a quick acting nature for early maturing crops. If new or bought seed are to be used we will look at the directions on packages and sow as near with directions as we think best. A few rows of early garden peas, such as Wood's Lightning Excelsior or Alaska; also a few rows of Adams early corn to meet the demand lor early roasting ears which are relished by all. Do not plant too sparingly. Plant a few rows about twice each week, commencing early and if the first is killed only a few days later there will be another stand, hence a sure crop. Seed some Irish potatoes and onions among your first planting. Would suggest for Irish potatoes a fertilizer rich in potash. Lay off rows two or three feet wide; scatter fertilizer as just suggested. Lap two furrows over the first, then reopen furrow, drop po tatoes ten or twelve inches apart with one or two eyes. Most of us like to have a few onions for early use which we make a part of the garden. There is much difference of opinion as to the best way to raise the onions. They are very productive on a rich soil not too muddy. Early cabbage, such as the early York or Jersey Wakefield make the surest crop, as late ones are liable to sun scald and decay. It is claimed by some that there is not any danger m plowing the cabbage too deep nor get ting your land too rich. It is the king of garden plants in this part of the county. The need of the cabbage isjaitrngen and phosphor ic acid. Distance should be governed by size of cabbage. A simple and cheap way for early plants may be had by constructing a box twelve or eighteen inches wide three or four feet long, four inches deep, filling same with rich earth. Seed may then be sown and watered at times and kept in sun shine when not too cold. A slight freeze will not hurt them. When there is any dangerpf the ma tured heads being winter killed the stalks may be turned down where they stand. Cover head with pine bark or straw, then lay three or four inches of dirt on straw and leave unmolested until it is to be carried to the dinner pot. We also like to put some snap beans in the garden for early ue and to have close to the. house in case of a hurried meal. Distance for the bean too must be governed by the variety. Rows may be about three feet apart some dropping thicker and seme thin ner with a heavy dose of fertilizer ranging from two to four hundred pounds per acre. Sometimes the beetle or bugs will sap the life out of the bean if some preventative is not used. Finely powdered tobacco dust being the simplest and cheapest way we know of. The foregoing are the most import ant crops for the garden in our esti mation and should be cultivated very often. If dry weather sets in the of tener the better but not deep. Of course the women folks must have a few rows of beets and radishes. As my letter is getting too long, 1 will only name a few things the wo men folks want in the garden: cauli flowers, lettuce, tomatoes and egg plant. We would say right here that to mato soup is one of the most nourish ing dishes we ever saw. Rhubarb should have its place in the garden. If prottld ffbtn by two for three inches of manure in winter it 111 b$ ready for turn inx into pie be t trftSyt: ! ertre-n est in the THE MAGNETIC HEALER" CURES. A. A. Abernethy Says He Can 1 Works Wonders. RHEUMATISM CAN BE CURED Healed In An Hour's Duration And Goes Hunting hi The Snow The Following Day Proof Of The Science Of "Magnetic Healing. (Special to The Sun.) FOREST CITY, February 4. I am not a confirmed believer in "magnetic nealing," nor have I explicit faith in the science, the theory, the practice or what ever it may be called, yet I am forced by circumstances to place some credence in the power wielded or influence ex erted by the so-called "magnetic healers" over their subjects when placed under their treatment, as I have been afflicted, or was afflicted, for four weeks with paralytic rheumatism to such a de gree that I was at times unable to walk even with my cratches and at no time during the four weeks could 1 walk without the aid of crutches or sticks, and I could not nor did not put on my shoes, pull them off or dress myself, and after submitting to the treatment of a "magnetic healer," just one time, I have been enabled to walk unassisted by stick or crutches. To the skeptical this statement may seem absurd and incredulous, but never theless, it is true, and I am frank to make the confession, though I do it still doubting the infalibility of the remedy applied. During my affliction I used and applied every remedy suggested, or recommended that it was possible for me to obtain without any relief to my self or eradication of the disease prey ing upon my physical system . I ling ered and suffered on after repeated ex periments with all kinds of liniments, baths, both cold and hot. and poultices and bandages, tablets and powders. I was finally pursuaded to submit to the magic powers of the "magnetic healer" and with doubts and aversions to the virtue contained in the same I submitted to the treatment just one time, and at the very time when I could not move my feet or limbs without excruciating pain and since that hour to this one I have not had a single pain or the least difficulty in using my limbs, bending, stooping or walking, and I do not feel any inconvenience from the effects of my former affliction. This magnetic healer who applied his powers upon me , was none other than Mr. R. P. Doggett, a man who was reared in the rural districts of Ruther ford county, near Forest City. He was born and raised on the farm, never having followed any other vocation but farming and never did he attend any school except the common free schools which were in vogue before the civil war. Mr. Doggett is how nearly sixty years of age, but did not begin the prac tice of magnetic healing . until about three years ago. How and why he has possessed this magic power I am unable to state, but suffice it to say, he has by one single treatment of less than one hour's duration relieved me of my suf fering, and I frankly confess it is to me a mystery how the simplicity of his treatment wrought such a change over my physical feelings. I had not been able to walk for three weeks unaided before I submitted to his treatment and I even rode to his house from my home in a buggy and was with difficulty and pain removed from my buggy to his room, and after his treatment I rose right up from my chair, clear of all pain and stiff ness of joints, and walked around over the room as easily as though I had never been afflicted and the . day afterwards I went rabbit hunting in the snow and carried a breech-loading shot-gun. shot birds and rabbits just as I had done be fore I was stricken down and I have not felt a single pain or symptom of rheu matism since. The cure of my afflictions seem as mysterious to me as this confession may seem incredulous to the skeptical reader, but it is true, as many can testify who saw me during my affliction and have seen and been with me since. - Dowie, Elijah the 2nd, of Chicago, may prophesy, but R. P. Doggett, the Magnetic Healer, has certainly exempli fied his magic power and demonstrated to me that there is something in this "magnetic healing" now being paraded bver the country and being denounced by quack doctors who stick to their pills and powders, liniments and plas ters regardless of the fact that the "day of wonders" has not ceased. , , A. A. ABERNETHY. Finds That It Pays. Messrs. G. W. Bryant & Co., of Union Mills, writes The Sun "as follows : "I will just continue to advertise with yon as I find that it pays." This firm came to this conclusion after trying an ad a iiaci.'A-; A triil will convince any one. FOREST CITY NEWS. The Mercury Forced Down Out Door Work Practically Stopped. (Special to The Sun.) FOREST CITY, January 30. Follow ing the cold arctic winds which forced the mercury down the tube to 20, and even 12, where exposed to the northwest winds has come the mantle of snow, and now we are having wintry weather. Out door work has been practically stopped for the past week, and from present indications, but little will be done for several days to come, as the clouds are threatening more snow. Trade in the stores seems brisk from the many visitors coming and going. Since the repeal of the "jug law," many "walking bar rooms" are now passing about in the shadow of night and the boys say "bug juice" is plenti ful. With Marion's hell holes of ruin belching their liquid fires of death down on us from the northwest, and Blacks burg, Atlanta, St. Louis, Covington, Richmond and various other points, famishing their quota of "rot gut" to our embiber of Adam's ale, we are pur suaded to believeour "dry town" is an "ignoman" and our prohibition laws a farce. The kind of prohibition laws we need are such as will prohibit, and until we get them, the slimy trail of the ser pent will be always visible and its dead ly effects felt in our midst. There are a few "blind tigers" round about here, which our city and county officials should muzzle at once, before they stick their poisoned fangs into the hearts of some of our young men who are frequent call ers at their dens. The repeal of the jug law has opened the door to these dens and the casual observer can readily see that they exist. The matrimonial fever has struck our city, and among the afflicted reported to us, are: . Mr. Oscar Carroll and Miss Bertha Wright, Mr. Lee Mofflt and Miss Bell Gamble, Mr. J. A. Ross and Miss Rachel Hill, and Mr. Lox Tate and Miss McDaniel, all of whom have fall en prostrate upon the hymenial altar and to-day are rejoicing in "double blessed ness." The bells are still ringing and others will follow before many more moons. Such is life. Forest City possesses more widows and widowers than any other town of its size in North Carolina. This state of affairs should not exist, and it would not,' if all the women were as much in clined to make a change, as the widow ers, some of whom do not wait until their wives are cold in the grave or their tracks in the streets have been obliterat ed by the rains until they are dressed in their "biled shirts," standing collar and four in-hand ties and out seeking the hand and heart of another. It is right to marry and give in marriage, but well I you know a man ought to re spect the memory of his former com panion, no matter if she has left him "alone" and "lonely." The graded school, now in full opera tion and under the management of Prof. Wilson and his assistants, is progress ing nicely and all express their aproba tion of the management and the ad vancement being made by the children attending. This was a much needed institution and its beneficial .effects are rapidly felt and seen. No town can af ford to be without a good school we have one and are rejoicing. Mr. L. A. Moore's infant child has been very sick, but .it is reported im proving now. Mr. A. A. Abernethy, who has been confined to his room and bed for three weeks, has not yet got able to get out, and is not able to walk, except on crutches. AN APPROACH TO BE BUILT. Chimney Rock To Be Reached With Carriages Over A Graded Road. (Asheville Citizen.) In the immediate future active work will be commenced on an approach road for carriages to Chimney Rock. Heretofore this rock was accessible to pedestrians only. Owing, however, to the constantly increasing number of persons visiting it every year a carriage road has become a necessity. The grade will be the very best pos sible, having been established by a com petent surveyor, the ascent being nearly 2000 feet. The summit of this rock is reached finally by a series of stairways 240 feet in height. Leading to the west from the base of the Chimney for a distance of three quarters of a mile is the so-called " Ap pian Way," a narrow ledge on the face of the precipice, the entire length of which large numbers of persons traverse in perfect safety every year. About midway of this wonderful walk is In spiration Point from which the Hickory Nut Falls of 960 feet suddenly burst be fore the eyes of the traveler, t A walk of a third of a mile further takes one to the very brink of these falls, which are the third highest in the Unit ed States. There is no place in the Southern Appalachians that so combines the sublime and the picturesque as does this Chimney Rock mountain; indeed, the whole Hickory Nut Gap is a verita ble store house of nature's woDders.
