THE PUBLIC LEDGER. By JOHN T. BRITT. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY MORNING OXFORD, N. C - MAHCH 9, 1899 Congressman Lacey, of NewYorl looks so much like Secretary Alger that Tom Reed advised him to get himself "whitewashed." The cry comes up from every sec tion in North Carolina for better roads. We hope the new road law will remedy the great, evil. With 123 tongues to manage in the Philippines as it is. it's a p'ty the German should have, attempted to present any clitiicnlties. Of course at the banquet to Schley in Baltimore last week from the un corking of bottles that went on he was referred to as a corker. Regarded in one light is not that proposed Wisconsin legislation to do away with tight lacing for women a movement in favor of expansion ? The old board of directors of the Atlantic & North Carolina Railroad declines to turn oyer to the new board, and Keeper of the Capitol Burns declines to tarn over to Mr. Cherry, the newly elected keeper. The University Trustees elected ex-Chief Justice James E. Shepherd professor of law to succeed the late Dr. John Manning. Our talented young friend, J. Crawford Biggs, is retained as Assistant Professor. Atlanta is mourning oyer the death of a worthy veteran grave dig ger, lie had buried 30.000. He was 94 years old and named Green A. Pilgrim and assisted that many pil grims on their journey to a worse or better land. The Queen of Roumania is a li censed lecturer, the Queen of Portu gal is a physician and one of the best milliners of Europe and Ex-Empress Fredrick is a florist. There no tell ing what is going to happen these days. J. Madison Wells, one time Gov ernor of Louisana, who died last Tuesday, was the president, of the famous Louisana Returning Board of 1877 and cast the electoral votes of the State for Rutherford Hayes, giving him a majority over Tilden for President. The President of the French Re public is strictly in the money swim as he receives a salary of l 25,000 a year outright, and his allowance of one kind and another are as much more, making altogether the sum of $2 DO ,000 for keeping up the French Presidential establishment. The bill for the reimbursement of the Southern States for their claims in connection with the Spanish war passed both houses of Congress, a full agreement being reached by the conference committee which had charge of the measure. It is in the hands of the President and provides for the payment of the claims of North and South Carolina. Virginia and other Southern States. Brooklyn, known far and wide as the "City of Churches,'" is complain ing that since its absorption into the municipality of New York it. has become a "wide open" town. Places for the promotion of gambling and immorality have sprung up with amazing rapidity and parts of the city have lost their old and staid character, while the standard of po lice service has been greatly lowered. Robeit B. Halligan, of Chicago, who is said to have made a sudden fortune in Wyoming copper minf s, has begun to talk and says among other things: "1 am so rich that. I can't count my money, but I have an utter of $20,000,000 for mining property that I know is worth at least $40,000,000. Pil havo Joi n D. Rockfeller beaten to a standstill in a year's time, and yet six wreeks ago I was worth only $2D,000, and had to pawn my watch one Saturday for SD." Mr. Halligan has offered the Univeisity of Kentucky $500,000 if it will change its name to the Halligan University. We wish our Granville county copper mining peo ple could strike it as rich. Rev. E. Edwards, pastor of the English Baptist Church at Mineisville, Pa. .when suffering with rheumatism, was advised to try Chamberlain's Fain Balm. He says: "A few applications of Ihis liniment proved of great service to me. It subdued the in flammation and relieved the pain. Should anv sufferer profitdy giving Pain Balm a trial it will please me." For sale dy J. G. Hall, Druggist. Educate Your Itowel Willi discards. Candy Cathartic, cure constipation forever. 10c, 85c.

Sampson in 1890, when he was in command at the Navy Academy. Thomas Walker, colored, who was an enlisted man in the navy, had served in Sampson's household as a cook and alleged when he brought action that during nearly three years of such service he had received but one-half of his lawful pay and none of his rations or their money equivalent. He sued for 8927. SO. When one Lowery, another colored enlisted man, who had also served Sampson as cook for about 4 years, also brought suit on the same grounds the two suits were consolidated and a judgment secured for $1,409.70, the full amount claim ed, and it was paid by the defend ant without appeal. CONGRESS ADJOURNEDBREAKS THE RECORD. The days of the well-known con gressional game of Speaker Reed throwing his eyes around ths House and the members trying to catch it come to an end Saturday when the Congress adjourned. Nobody knows how much money it has appro pria ted, but it is known that is breaks all previous records and leaves the famous Billion-dollar Congress far behind. War expenses are only a small part of the genera! expansion inaugura ted by McKinley and his Republi can army of pie-hunters who are bleeding, yes bleeding the bone and sinew7 of this country and eyery pore by taxes on one hand while the trusts goes for them on the other, being as they are backed up by the man they made President. It was supposed that the nation was not watching the accounts very closely and an opportunity was af forded to put through a variety of schemes that have been waiting for years, passes all precedent. The in teresting feature of this is that it was done in the face of an existing deficit that would be largely in creased the coming year even with economy and for which a hundred and fifty millions is a moderate esti mate. When Democrats are in power in Nation or State they stint to save while the Republicans squan der. Cliambcrlnin outfit Remedy. This' remedy is intended especially for couglis, colds, croup, whooping rough and influenza. It has become famous for its cures of thease diseases, over a large part of the civilized world. The most ilattering testimonials have deen received, giving ac counts of its good works; of the aggravating and persistent coughs it has cured; of severe colds that have yielded promptly to its sooth ing effects, and of the dangerous attacks of croup it has cured, often saving the life of the child. The extensive use of it for woop ing cough has shown that it robs that dis ease of all dangerous consequences. Sold by J. G. Hall, Druggist. THE STATE PRINTING AWARDED TO OUR ENEfTIES. Raleigh is hard to down on scoop ing in pie from the pie counter, whether Pops or Democrats. Mr. Li. R. Lacey, an excellent gentle man, was elected Commissioner and Public Printer, and Mr. Faison, his assistant, are both from that city. Liarnes Bros., the noted Populist, printing firm that did everything in their powr to continue negro domi nation over the white people of our beloved State are awarded the Pub lic Printing. It looks to us like it a disgrace to Legislative commit tee that they should award the State printing to a firm that preferred ne gro rule to a white man's govern ment. This is one act of the Leg islature that every true Democrat should condemn. Just stop for a moment and think about it, is suffi cient to make a true and tried Demo crats' blood boil with indignation to have to submit to such a thing, in the face of the fact that Barnes Bros, turned out more campaign lies against the Democratic party than all the other Rep-Pop printing es talishment in North Carolina com bined, and another t hing, if they had not been in favor of sweet-scented, darling Epnriam Lording it over the true Anglo-Saxons of NorthCarolina they would never have done the cam paign printing for the negro-loving Pep-Pop pie-hunters that have been a disgrace to the State. This is one act. of the Legislature of 1899 that should' be condemned even if Barnes Bros should have done the State Printing for 50 per cent less than it cost. The Republican party is always ready to feed the horse that pull the plow while the Democratic party seems to make it a point to ignore him under the regime of the latter day pie hunting saints. Jn the language of the immortal and beloved Vance, "To your tents, Oh ! Israel," stand by and maintain Dem ocracy, and not be penny-wise and pound foolish" while our enemies r walk off with the pounds. THE GIANT TOBACCO TRUST. That was very sharp, shrewd work on tne part of the now Great Amer can Tobacco Company in being in strumental in having formed the Union Tobacco Company which bought out Black well Durham Co. along with several other big con cerns that were in their way. J ust as soon as every thing was singed, sealed and delivered the Union was merged into the Ameri can Tobacco Company making the largest trust ever formed iu this country as the American controls the Continental Company, the plug combine. The capital behind this giant combine is one hundred mil lions of dollars, and a young North Carolinian, Mr. Buck Duke, of Dur ham, who has developed into one of the shrewest business men in this country today. He is a plain, prac tical man, and every inch of him is business from the word go, and has all the nerve you are looking for. The American Tobacco Company now have the tobacco farmers by the knap of the neck and can pay them just what they please for tobacco, and will haye to take it or stop rais ing tobacco. This trust is forcing thousands of people out of business, and its sharp, keene-edge knife cuts going and coming. It makes the consumer pay their prices for ciga rettes and tobacco and forces the farmer to take what the trust is willing to give him for his product. The Republican party fosters and encourages trusts and today there is a trust on every thing used by the masses, and after awhile they will have to trust to luck for a Hying. There is a trust on the pie coun ter of the political parties and if one is not within the pale and influence of the office dispenser combine it is next to impossibility to occupy a seat at the counter. Now eyen the salt of the earth is subject to a $10,000,000 trust and will salt the people who use salt. The trusts have become so nu merous and greedy that they even follow the people to their graves, as a coffin trust is the very latest, and any one shuffling off this mortal coil after a few weeks will do it at a greater expense than now. So the trusts goes for the living and the dead with an avaricious hand. WE HOPE IT 15 TRUE. Raleigh correspondent of Char lotte says, an interesting and seem ingly well founded rumor is current to the effect that James Boyd, now assistant Attorney General of the United States, is to be judge of the Western District in place of Ewart not confirmed, and that Negro Par doner Russell will succeed Bovd at Washington; that this is done to give Russell a foothold in Washing ton (he could get it among the ne groes) so he can practice his pro fession there, make a reputation and thus be enabled to stay in that city aud not return to North Carolina, (which would be a blessing to the State). This would make Reynolds Governor; something which would mightily please him. It all fitted in like one of those charming stage plays, with the happy finish. It is no secret that the Governor's pet wish is to get out of North Carolina to which State he, of course, has no ties to bind him. We feel sure not a single crockidile tear would be shed over his departure unless they are shed by his black braves. "When death has laid its cold and re lentless hand ' upon a kind and loving husband, the wife cannot be blamed for ask ing herself if all her years of de votion and work and helpfulness were worth the while, when it comes so soon to this tragic end.- If men would only take the most com mon sense precautions against the en croachments of ill -health, there would be fewer houses of mourning, and fewer women left alone almost helpless before the battle of life is half over. A man's liver and stomach are twin machines that work together, either to make ot unmake. If they work wrong, they deplete and poison his blood. Impure and impover ished blood mean sickness aud death. If they work right, they purify and enrich the blood. A man whose blood is rich and pure, and whose liver is active cannot well be unhealthy. Headaches, biliousness, in digestion and costiveness, which men gen erally disregard, are Nature's warnings that the twin mechanism, stomach and liver, is working against, instead of for him. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery is the best medicine to use under these circumstances. It creates appetite, cor rects all disorders of the digestion, invigor ates the liver and fills the arteries with rich, red, healthy blood. As an invigorat ing, restorative tonic, it is far superior to all the malt extracts. It is the great blood maker and flesh-builder. It does not build sickly, flabby fat as cod liver oil does, but the firm, muscular tissues of health. " For the last nine years," writes William Miller, Esq., of 651 Mulberry Street, Reading, Pa., "I hnve been ver3' poor iu health. I suf fered with a running sore leg. I tried many kinds of different medicines, and doctors with out relief. Then I used three bottles of ' Golden Medical Discovery aud can say that I am en tirely cured. I can now do as good a day's work as the next man." Unfailable Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets for constipation and biliousness. Ersi if inim i THE NEW ELECTION LAW.
