Raleigh, Dec. 23.?- Governor Glenn has employed Mr. Bryan Carter of 1 Washington D. C. and Messrs Manly and Hendren of Winston-Salem to col lect the claims of North Carolina volun-1 . teers for the war with Spain under the special act of congress, and ihe de cisions of the Supreme court thereon which allow pay for . the period from the time when these volunteers, as members of the National Guard, l as- ' sembled at their armories upon order of the governor. They were paid by the government from the time of ' their enlistment at Raleijh to the date of their muster-in, ; but for the other period, that of - State liability, which the United States has assumed, they have not been paid, It is strange but true that' a number of the companies have had in hand for ; some time their certified rolls and have not . sent these ) to Mr. Carter and Manly & Hendren, 'though the law is very plain in its re quirement that all these rolls must be on file with the War Department' by January lst,19tlG or else they are of no value, so far as this claim is concerned. The soldiers will get double pay for the time between enlistment and muster-in the Supreme court having already set- , tied this matter to the effect that pay ment already made is a gratuity to them. The amount involved in the ' claims will be from $15,000 to $35,000 for the North Carolina volunteers, the ' amount depending upon ; the dates on which the men appeared in response to the call bythe governor. 'This State has never paid th i volunteers for any ' of this service, th t L'n'ted States as suming the obligation, but some of the States did pay. .

State Treasurer Lacy calls attention to the fact that the Treasury balance this year is so much less than it was a year ago, in fact being $50,000 under the balance of November 1, 1904, yet the pensions has increased $75,000. The Treasurer says this is why he is crying to the sheriffs to hurry up and remit their taxes. The law requires them to remit monthly and it is a misdemeanor not to do this, but some of the sheriffs are claiming that they cannot collect. The Treasurer has a great sum of mon ey to pay out in the next sixty days. THEY COME AND GO. Mr. and. Mrs. G. 8. Waters of Pan- tego are guests of their son, Mr. G. H. Waters. , Messrs'. G.

Walker, of 5 Trcmont St., Woodfords, Me,, says:" Sly sister had a terrible humor on her shoulder when she was eighteen months old, causing intense suffering for two years. We had several doctors, and tried . everything, but in spite of all wo did it kept spreading. One day it would scab over and then crack opea and a watery matter ooze from it and the scabs would all fall off. It would be raw for a time, then scab over again. Some one recommended Ctiti cura, and we immediately procured a box of Cuticura Ointment, and a cake of Cuticura Soap. She was much bet ter after the first bath with warm water and soap, and an application of the Ointment. Before it was half gone we saw a marked change for the better, and she was entirely cured, without a car being left, by the one box of Oint ment and one cake of Soap. Her skin is now entirely clear, and she has not had a sign of trouble since." 100,000 MOTHERS Daily Tell Other Mothers That Cuticura Soap is the best baby soap in the world for cleansing and purifying the skin, and that Cuticura Ointment is of priceless value for ootbrng and healing itching, tortur ing, and disfiguring eruptions, itch ings, and chaflngs.
