Rauioh, June 4. Inquiry Is made of
farmers and business men in this section
regarding the cotton acreage, bring out
the replies that less cotton hu been
planted. It la ascertained that there will
be an increase of something like 50 per
cent in the tobacco acreage this season.
Last season's high prices wee a great
stimulant. . The only fear expressed Is
that there will not be enough competi
tion to maintain prices at a good
figure.
The State Superintendent of Public
Instruction announces that there will be
seven vacancies this year In the Peabody
Normal College at Nashville, Tenn. to
be filled from North Carolina. The ex
amination of applicants will be held in
the various counties from which appli
cations come, the dates of such examina
tion being July 10 and 17tb, and they
they will be held by county superinten
dents. These seven scholarships will le
for only one year, this Is for the reason
that after June 1904, there may be a dif
ferent system of distributing; the Pea
body fund.
Not long ago the statement was made
that the county superlntendant of Hay
wood wu paid only $30 for last year.
Some of the Southern Educational pa
pen have had a good deal to say abont
this, and as a result of their comments,
It seems that some ot the Haywood coun
ty people became rather warm. The
State superintendent todsy showed the
report made to him by the county treas
urer of the school fund, which showed
that the superintendent was paid for 12
days at $3.50 a day.
There are some rather plain Intima
tions that the Raleigh and Cape Fear
Railway will cross the Cape Fear River
Lllllngton and continuo its course
southward. Tomorrow the road will
reach Lllllngton.
Officers and enlisted men of tho Nat
ional Gaard of this State express a de
sire to know whether there will be en
campments this year. This matter is
now being taken up with the war de
partment, the purpose of which is to
have every guardsman in camp if possi
ble. The State has not much available
funds for this purpose.

Hon. Pan, Hugh McLean, of Dunn, N,

to bear testimony to the great merit of
Worthing ton's Remedy. It hu been on

now pending against him, and upon ap
proval of snid secretary, sheriff will re
lease petitioner from custody."

were spoken tbeto was pome applause.

The Storm in Georgia.
Reports from the storm stricken dis
trict around Oalnevllle Ga., brings the
list upwards to a hundred and the
wounded five hundred. Three hundred
houses in that town were totally destroy
ed, leaving one thousand people home
less, manv only saving their clothes on
their persons.
The greatest loss of life was at the
Oalnevllle Cotton Mills, and most of
them women and children.
At New Holland Springs and White
Sulphur Springs the Btorm was also
severe. At the former plaee 200 houses
were destroyed, and 800 people are
without shelter. The latter place which
is a summor resoit the destruction was
complete.
Governor Terrail immediately issued
an appeal to the publlo for relief for
the sufferers, and money, tents and
other stores are being rushed to the
scene as quickly as possible.
Prof. L. J. Miller, late Professor of Chemistry and Botany of the High School
of Tpsilanti, Mich., writes from 8327 N. Clark Street, Chicago, 111., as follows :
"As several of my friends have spoken to me of the favorable results obtained
through the use ot Peruna,. especially in cases ot catarrh, I examined It most
thoroughly to learn its contents.
"I found it composed of extracts of herbs and barks of most valuable medicinal
qualities combined with other ingredients, delicately balanced, calculated to tone
np the system, restore the functions and procure health.
" consider Peruna one of the most skillfully and scientifically prepared
medicines, which the public can use with safety and success." -"PROP. L. J.
MILLER.

Hon. Joseph H. Ridgeway, Secretary
of the American Anti-Treat Society,
writes the following letter from ths
Grand Central Hotel, St. Paul, Kino.:
"ItU with great pleasure that I s
dorse Parana as ,
an honest mdl- J
cine, competent
to do all It
claims. X have
used It MTOal
times) and know
of nothing that
cures so com
pletely, and at
the same time
builds np the
system.
"I have rec
ommended it to
a number of my
friends and always feel that I do them Sj
service for I know how satisfactory the
results invariably are. I only wish
every family had a bottle it would save
much sickness and doctor bills.'' Joseph
H. Ridgeway.
Fesl Bettor Thaa far Flv Tasts."
Mr. James B. Taylor, Roberts, Ind
writes:
"I am at the present time entirely
well. I can eat anything I ever could.
I took five bottles of Peruna, and feel
better now than I have for five years.
I have doctored with other doctors off
and on for fifteen years, so I can recom
mend your medicine very highly for
stomach troubles. I take great pleuure
in thanking you for your free advice
and Peruna." James B. Taylor.
" I Enjoy my Heals as I Vsed to."
Mr. J. W. Pritchard, Wolf Lake, Ind
writes:
" I am pleased to say that I have been
cured of catarrh of the stomach by Pe
runa. I could hardly eat anything that
agreed with me. Before I would get
half through my meal my stomach
would fill with gas causing me much
distress and unpleasant feelings for an
hour or two after each meal. But,
thanks to your Peruna, I am now com- '
pletely cured, and can eat anything I
want to without any of the distressing
symptoms. I can now enjoy my meals
as I used to do, and it is all due to Dr.
Hartman and his wonderful medicine,
Peruna.
"It has been one year since I was
cured, and I am all O. K. yet, so I know
I am cured." J. W. Pritchard.
Dyspepsia is a very common phase ot
summer catarrh. A remedy that will
cure catarrh of one location will cure it
anywhere. Peruna cures catarrh wher
ever located. That it is a prompt and
permanent cure- for catarrh of the
stomach the above letters testify.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from .the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and be will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
vioe gratis.
Address Dr. Hartman, President ot
The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus,
Ohio.
