R. Parnell to foroe Treasurer Worth to honor warrants issued by Auditor Furman. The amount of the warrant held by the oommeroial and Farmers Bank was 99 40; The bank cashed the warrant for. Hoola Boom Campbell when he was almost stranded In this olty. Mr. Fnrnell's warrant calls for $40, It was part payment for his services as "steerer" and attorney to the Ar- rington Tribunal, Judge Coble decided that the Com ueroisl and Farmers Bank is enti tled to tbe writ of mandamus to en force the Judgment by the defendant as Treasurer of the State of the amount of the said warrant men tlooed In the oase agreed, to wit 99 40 The costs were put on the defendant Tbe Judge went against attorney Pnrnell.

The costs were given to Mr. Purnell to pay. Both Mr. Purnell and Treasurer Worth have appealed from the de cision of Judge Coble.

THB PROGRESS OF PHARMACY. Mr. Augustus Bradley Discusses the Subject In the American Druggist. We have at baid a copy of the Amerioan Durggist and. Phama oentical Reoord, in whioh we And an interesting artiole by Mr. Au gustus Bradley, President of the North Carolina Pbamaoeatioal As- jooiathn, written by him at the re quest of the editor of that publica tion. Mr. Brad'ey is recognized as high authority in his profession and takes a prominent stand in all matters of interest to the pbarma cists. We quote the following ex tracts from Mr. Bradley's able ar (dole: I fail to note that tbe profession of pharmaoy of today has so ohanged that the present interest of pharma cists are more of a commercial than a solent'flo nature. On the contrary, it strikes men that the desire for higher pharmaceutic il education Is Inoreasing. This to me seems dearly demonstrated by the many new ool- leges of pharmaoy springing up as they are all over the country, there being at the same time a steady in crease of attendance at tbe old schools. This desire for higher pharmaceutical eduoation is further shown, it seems to me, by the swell 1118 of tne course and standard by the different boards of pharmaoy For example, the percentage of cor rect answers now required at their examinations is from ten to fifteen per cent grtater than was the oase five years ago. I believe the pharmacists of this State (North Carolina) will bear me out when I say there is no willing ness on our part to carry "soientiflo" ready made preparations of our own manufacture, if "preparations" must be the order of the day. I come to an important matter now in this letter, and that is the rigid restriction -of the practioe of pharmaoy to person duly qualified, and sooh qualifications, should, in my opinion, in each ease be tested by a thorough and exhaustive ex amination. This profession, : like others, depends for its Integrity up on nothing short of such methods. The Indignation of our pharmacists was aroused by the appointment of au unregistered pbyaiolan : to take oharge of the pharmaoy department at tbe North Carolina Insane Asy lum. But for that matter, nearly all the present drug laws of North Carolina are more or lesi faulty. At the next session Of the legislature a oomple revision to oomply with the mcdein requirements of pharmacy will be urged by those interested in safeguarding a profession virtually near to the great publio.

This morning Justice Roberts held an Inquisition of lunacy over Oscar Winters, a well known colored press man of this city. Winters Is violently Insane and is is restrained with ropes. He will be sent to Ooldsboro hospital tomorrow. The cause of this man's loss of res son makes a common but an interesting story. When the negro exodus rame several years ago, Winters was one of those who left his home He had trouble and an accident, the latter cracking his skull. The operation of trepan ing was performed and the man apparently got well. Lately he has exhibited signs of coming mania j now he Is a violent lunatic Boger 'OEelley, who was carried to the hospital yesterday, after having been discharged as cured, came very near not being received, as the lunaoy papers were not made out.iThls morn ing though, Mr. Roberts held the in quisition and the papers were for warded. BURLINGTON FAIR FEATURES. Some of the Attractions Which will be Seen This Week. Oar Barllngton correspondent today writes: Mr. Charley Ward will have on exhibition at the fair his celebrated Arabian station Zeto. This wonderful horse has never before some before j an American public, and Mr. Ward only gives this illustration of his In- teligence and activity to keep up tbe reputation that Gentry has woo . for the good old North State. Two ladders forty feet long and fastened together at the top, will be mounted by Zeto, who goes head fore most to the top, then head downward I on the other to the ground. Zeto will perform other trioks equally wonder ful, surpassing any trick horse in ths world. Prof. Jiok Shelburn, the Wiuard, will give on tbe grounds one of his incomprehensible exhibitions.

Moore, whioh 'was the origin of tbe trouble. . EDUCATIONAL CONGRESS. Will Be Held in Atlanta, on Oot. 38th and 2th North Cardial ans Going.

Alderman, of the State Uni versity. He has already achieved a national reputation as a brillant man in his profession and likewise as a most highly polished orator. He may be depended upon to uphold the reputation of the Old North State. The prominent men named before him will indeed do well if tbe rising young Tar Heel does not carry off the laurels of the "Congress ' Superintendent Logan D. Howell, of Raleigh is manager of the Nation al Association for North Carolina. He said this morning: "I desire North Carolina to be well represent ed by its teachers, and I want all schools in the State to suspend, and go to Atlanta, with their pupils if possible. Tbe A. & M.

Cooke, who was formerly the able representative of tbe Sea board Air Line as Freight and Pas sengtr Agent at Raleigh, has accept ed the special agenoy of tbe Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company, through their General Agent, Mr. R.

Mr. Cook, during his long connec tion with the Seaboard in this city, won many friends whose insurance business will be directed to the Penn Mutual Company through bis in fluence. We bespeak for him a suc cessful business. Hold Your Cotton. The Progressive Farmer says this week editorially : We believe it is now safe to advise the farmers in the cotton belt to hold their cotton as long as possible, ay you must sell, then put it on the market slowly a little at a time. Such ad vice has not always been safe, and we have hesitated, but think it is now settled that the crop will not be over 6,000,000 bales, probably less, and the demand will be for eight or nine million bales. Tbe most liber al government and export reports show that tbe condition is not above 65, and frosts and storms may soon bring it below that estimate. Can't be Kept Chained.

Some people hare actually asked the question why a new registration is required In order to vote upon the road question.

Superintendent Allen and Mr. Mc Mackln were discussing the registra tion for the coming election yesterday. Both of them remarked that it was tbe lightest registration ever known for an election in the county. Mr. Allen says the country people are taking very little interest in the elec tion.
