Raleigh, Jan. 12. Capt. Day,
Russell's new- penitentiary Su
perintendent, went before the
joint house and Sena-te com
mittee today and laid baro the
sore straits in which he found
the penitentiary affairs.
The pay rcljs of employes for
October, November and De?em
ber, aggregating $8,073. 9o, and
also freight bills aggregating
6-34. 7'J are unpaid, and theie
are no funds availab.e to the
penitentiary with which to pay
them.
There are about J50,000 wor h
of crops on the farms, but much
of it is needed tc keep them
i
s O F
runriDg.
A large part of the cotton and
corn remains in the fields un
gathered, and if gathered and
sold the proceeds vould have
to be carried into the State
traasury and the State treasurer
would refuse to pay out any of
it for the use of the penitenti
ary, but would apply it to the
$10,000 already due the State by
the penitentiary.
Hence the superintendent is
powerless to turn hand or foot
towards working out of this
bad condition. - -
The legisture will promptly
uass a bill uuthorizing the State
treasurer to pay vouchers for
the salaries and freight.
Mewborne anticipated thi
sad condition oc jiffairs, and
doubtless resigned to avoid the
humiliation of asking the legis
lature to help him out of the
terrible hole in which he and
John R. Smith had gotten the
penitentiary.

You are perhaps aware that
pneumonia always results fiom
a cold or from an attack of la
grippe. During the epidemic
of la grippe a few year ago
when so many cases resulted in
pneumonia, it was observed
that the attack was never fol
lowed by that disease when
Chamberlain's Ceugh Remedy
was used. It contracts any
tendency of a cold or la grippe
to result in that dangerous dis
ease. It is the bost remedy in
