PITTARD, Truslee, Hicks & Minor, Atty's. aov.3, ( Farmers Should Advocate Repeal of Taxes on the Weed. Why the growers of real tobacco in Maryland, Virginia. North Caro lina, South Carolina, Kentucky and Tennessee do not keep up a continu al demand and agitation for the re peal of the taxes and restrictions on the sale of laf tobacco, the direct product of the soil, we cannot under stand. Under the restrictions of the sale of tobacco by planters and growers, the whole tax on all forms of tobacco fall chiefly on the tobacco raisers, even the license taxes tf dealers in tobacco and it manufac turers of eyery sort. As the top most brick, slate or shingle of a building rests on the foundation sills, or stones, so do all the imposts on tobacco bear upon the grower of plant says the Virginia Pilot. We do not know of any agricul tural producers so hampered as the tobacco planter. Though whisfcey and brandy are made of corn, wheat rve. fruits, &c, no such restriction as to sale, nor license taxes to dea in them, are put upon them as are imposed on tobacco. It is the scape goat of the revenue, and last year it paid $36,230,522 into the Treasury nf which $3,500,000 came out of the Virginia crop. Nor do the internal taxes coye the license ot our tobacco growers for if it were as free and untaxed as other agricultural production, its growers would doubtless realize more in the net piices and profits than the government now exacts as a so called war- tax. me war stii continues in its burdens on the to baccco growers, though the war be tween the States ended oyer 3d years ago. wnat lustincation or excuse is there for this discrimination against this native product of the soil 7 It is a luxury, it is injurious to health; and the habit of its use is not nice; it is a luxury, truly, but one for which its users would willingly sac rifice a deal of so-callad necessaries. There is no other product of nature, not essential to life, that gives man more solace, pleasure and solid com fort. Put the question to popular vote, and see how vast a majority tobacco would receiye even oyer some so-called necessaries, and there is no other "creature comrort" at once so innocent, inocuous and soothing. We say to tobacco growers and users, agitate, agitate! tor tree to bacco, as well as free silyer, and great will be your reward in the ap proval of the people! Agitate. ttlidc tire Caw. On the 10th of December, 1897, Rev, S. A. Donahoe, pastor M. E. Church, South, Pt. Pleasant, W. Va , contracted a severe cold which was attended from the beginning by violent coughing. He says Alter resorting to a number of so-called specifics, usuahy kept in the house, to no purpose, I purchased a bottle of Chamberlain. s Cough Kemedy, which acted like a charm. I most cheerfully ecommend it to the public." For sale by J. G. Hall Druggist. Cured a Tobacco Man. An amusing incident occurred in Durham recently. Lee the hypno tist, was there, and one night cured a tobacco manufacturer of the to bacco habit, making the suggestion that tobacco would make him sick Un entering ms ractory the next morning the manufacturer was taken very sick, the smell of tobacco being too much for him. Naturally he receiyed a good deal of good natured guying from his friends for having deliberately placed himself in a position where he could not at tend to his business without being made ill. However, on a further suggestion of Mr. Lee's, he was able to go to the factory all right but could not use the weed without becoming sick.

You can dispose of cotton at highest market price same day, we run every day. Parham Bros. Co. Practically Moneyless. We copy this item from the Nor folk Virginian: "Banking specula tion, business and government may have plenty of money; but the peo ple -oyer 50,000,000, of them, at least are practically moneyless. It goes without saying that they want and need money, and all they can get of it. The more money there is the more easy for all men to gfct r; the more works the more de mand for labor; the more wages, the more buying; the better prices, the more prosperity for all, and the more plenty and happiness. The prevailing money scarcity may be very profitable to all who have money, or command or control it: but it put eyery body else and every thing at the mercy of the rich, who are growing richer as ail other neo- ple grow poorer. That is the best government that will give us the most good money." AN ACT TO PROVIDE FOR THE IM PROVEMENT AND PROTECTION OF THE PUBLIC ROADS OF THE STATE, THROUGH THE USE OF WIDE TIRES ON WAGONS AND OTHER DRAFT VEHICLES. Whereas, The use of wide-tired ve hicles on the public roads of the State, as shown by experience, will both benefit and protect these roads by packing and smoothing the sur face of the same; The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact: Section 1. That eyery person, firm or corporation in the State who, during the year ending December tbirty-first, 1899, and each succeed ing year thereafter owns and uses on the public roads of the State any wagon or other draft vehicles with tires as wide as the standard wide tire wheels described in section 2 of this act, shall on the presentation ot proof thereof, satisfactory to the Commissioners of any county in which said wide-tire vehicles are used, be paid by the county treas urer of such county, out of the road fund of the county or township in which the same is used, each and eyery year, for a period of fiye years, a sum equal to one-half his or her road tax: Provided, that in no case shall the amount so paid ior any year be greater than two dollars on one such vehicle, nor in any case shall the total amount paid to any one person, firm or corporation ex ceed the sum of five dollars during any one year; and Provided, further that in case any such person pays no tax, he shall duiing each and eyery year, for a period of five years, be exempt from one-half of the labor which under the law he may other wise be required to expend on the public roads of the county or town ship in which he resides. Sec. 2. For the purpose of this Act, the standard for wide-tire wagons and other draft vehicles shall be as follows: For a one horse vehicle (with skeins 2 by 8 inches or under, or spindles 1 by 7 inches or under) two and one half (2i) inch tires; for two-horse vehicles (with skeins larger than 2i by 8 inches not over 3 by 9 inches, or with spin dies more tnan if by inches, and not over If by 10 inches) four inch tires; and for vehicles with skeins and spindles larger that the above six-inch tires. Sec. 3. This act shall only apply to the following counties: Alamance Edgecombe, Lineoln, Mecklenburg Moore, Orange (for Chapel Hil Township only), New Hanover Rowan, Wilson, Durham and Gran ville. Sec. 4. This act shall be in force from and after its ratification. Ratified this, the 7th day of March, 1899. It is advisable to use G-inch tires even on two-horse wagons. On Macadam roads an average ot 2G per cent, in favor of wide tires. On gravel roads 2o to 45 per cent. in tavor of wide tires. On ordinary dirt roads 22 to 71 per cent, in t'ayor of wide tires. On ordinary meadow lands 22 to 84 per cent, in favor of wide tires. On pasture lands 26 to 89 per cent. in favor of wide tires. On stubble lands 34 to 72 per cent. in tavor or wide tires. un plowed ground 66 to n per cent, in favor of wide tires. On clay road with deep mud and ruts 10 to 49 per cent, in rayor ot narrow tires. But with the general introduction or wide tires this con dition of things (deep mud and deep ruts) would not exist. xne results or tnese tests, and in deed the whole question of the use of wide tires, is discussed more fully in Bulletin 18 on Road Building in North Carolina, published by the North Carolina Geological Survey, copies of which can be had by appli cation at the fourvey office. A Night Of Terrror. "Awful anxiety was felt for the widow of the brave General Burham of Machias, Me., when the doctors said she could not live till morning" writes Mrs. S. H. Lin coln, who attended her that fearful night, ah tnought sne must soon die from Pneumonia ,but she begged for Dr. King's New Discovery, saying it had more than once sayed her life, and had cured her of Consumption. After three small doses she slept easily all night, and its further use completely cured her." This marvel ous medicine Is guaranteed to cure all Ihroat, Chest and Lung Diseases.

On Monday a man by the name of B. Mims, representing a mercan tile association of 63 and 65 Wall street, New York, was in Tarboro. (Oct. lbth,) and did a nice piece of buuco work. He selects one doctor from each town, for which the doctor pays a good fee. The association seems to be an accident insurant affair, of which drummers and traveling men are members, and if any sickness or accident should overtake one of the members in Tarboro, the doctor here would get the case. It now turns out that Mr. Mims secured the services of two doctors, H. T. Bass and S. N. Har- rell, on similar representations. lhese doctors sav the plan is fraudulent and wish to advise their brethren of the profession to beware. They would like to find out Mr. Mims' whereabouts as they wou'.d at once have bim in the criminal courts. In looking up some questions in regard to the disqualification of voters in the State, Attorney General walser has tound that in the new election law there is a provision ex cluding from suffrage persons who are sentenced after a confession in open court of their guilt of a felony or some other infamous crime.

AH UNFAILING SIGH THAT The Man and the Dollar. Fayetteville Baptist: "When it comes to a question between . man and a dollar, I am on the side of the man every time." Abraham incoln. The dollar should be a servant and not a master. When ever in the course of events the in animate dollar in the hands of un scrupulous men is made to lord it over flesh and blood we are for the man. Long before Lincoln's time Daniel Webster said: "The freest government cannot long endure where the tendency of law is to create a rapid accumulation of property in the hands of a few." When Nature is overtaxed, she has her own way of giving notice that assist ance is needed.

Boils and pimples are an indication that the system is accumulating impurities which rnn UCI D must be gotten rid of ; they are an urgent appeal for assistance lUn II ELl a warning that can not safely be ignored. To neglect to puriry tne Diooa ac ims time means more than the annoyance of painful boils and unsightly pimples. If these impurities are allowed to remain, the system succumbs to any ordinary illness, and is unable to withstand the many ailments whioh are so prevalent during spring and summer. Mrs. L. Gentile, 2004 Second Avenue, Seattle, Wash., says : " I was afflicted for a long time with pimples, whioh were very annoying, as they disfigured my face fearfully. After using many other remedies in vain. S. S. S. promptly and tbxroughly cleansed my blood, and now I rejoioe in a rood complexion, which I never had before." R. K. , Chattanooga, lenn., writes: ' Several boils and carbuncles broke out upon me, causing great pain and annoyance. My blood seemed to be in a riotous condition; and nothing I took seemed to do anv erood. Six bottles of S. S. S. cured me completely f and my blood has been perfectly pure ever since." S. S. S.
