NO CURE NO PAY.!
How f. S. Duffy Sells Hyomel. the Guaran
teed Cure for Catarrh.
F. S. Duffy has an unusual offer to
make to our readers, one that will be
of the greatest value to many.
For some years F. S. Duffy has been
watching the results from the use of
Hyomei, a treatment for catarrh that
cures by breathing medicated air, ab
solutely without any stomach dosing.
Die results have been so universally
successful that F. S. Duffy feels justi
fied in making a public offer to treat
the worst case of catarrh in New Bern
with the understanding that if Hyomei
does not cure, the treatment will cost
absolutely nothing.
The regular Hyomei outfit costs only
one dollar, and consists of a neat
Docket inhaler that can be carried in
the purse br vest-pocket, a medicine
dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei. If
this is not enough for a cure, extra bot
tles of Hyomei can be obtained for 50
cents.'
F. S. Duffy positively guarantees a
cure, if Hyomei is used in accordance
with directions, or F. S. Duffy will re
fund the maney.

(Special Correspondence.) '
Raleigh, May 11. A letter to the
Agricultural Department from the
Superintendent at the State Test Farm
at Statesville says all the cotton up
there was killed by the frosts this week
and that the same remark applies to
corn. From this statement it is be
lieved that this was the case with crops
generally in that section of the State.
It is very bad news as it means re
planting, of course.
Today the State Board of Public
Buildings and grounds advertised for
bids for laying the walks in the capital
spuare with grauolithic pavement. The
penitentiary furnishes the money,
$6,000 wi'h which to pay for the work
as the board deciees that it is not to ex
ceed that cost.
The Governor says he will be at
Charlotte at the 20th of May celebra?
tion with his entire staff. He remarked
that he would be willing to do anything
to help the great occasion and remark
ed that every citizens in North Carl
olina, whether National Guardsman or
citizen that he thought that day ought
to be given the state. He recognizes
fully the importance of the celebration
He will review the troops. He does
not expect to speak, or if he does so hi
remarks will be very brief, as he does
not take time for much speaking.
The Wake county Confederate Veter
ang yesterday adopted resolutions of
fered by J..C. Birdsor.g asking Con
gress tut t apart tne oatueneias
around Petersburg as a National park
like Chickamauga or Gettysburg. Com
rade Orrin G. Smith, a veteran of both
the Civil War and the Mexican War
s joke to these resolutions, saying the
fighting around Petersburg was as se
vere as during the entire war.
The ' tearing down of a noted resi
dence in the eastern part of the city is
in progress, to make room for a large
public school. It is expected that a lit
tle later work' will begin on the high
school which is only a block west of the
capital square and adjoining the water
tower.
At the Rarieigh Phosphate Mills here
a warehouse, 80x200 feet is dndar con
struction for the storage of phosphate
rock. This now comes from Florida
and the quality is said to be better and
the grade more uniform than that of
the Tennessee rock which has been
used heretofore. The freight is the
same from Florida as from Tennessee.
Trotman's Whiskey Distillery at il
mington has been seized by the United
States for irregularities. This follows
the seizure of a number of barrels of
whiskey at Wilmington last week.
Very little' has been heard during the
past few days about'the proposed elec
tion on the question of prohibition here.
It is said that a certain well known ex
saloon keeper here went to the pastor
of a church took a very prominent part
in the campaign in favor of the dis
pensary three years ago and. asked him
to lead in a fight .for prohibition but the
pastor declined and then the ex-saloon
man went to the gentleman who is now
interesting himself in having a vote on
prohibition. The gentleman in ques
tion claimf that the ex-saloon man has
reformed and would no longer ennage
in the business even if Raleigh were
an open town tovtn. Much of the pro
hibition or temperance element here is
not backing the movement for an elec
tion at this time because it is not
thought opportune. The general opin
ion seems to be that no election will be
ordered.

Mr. and Mrs. Cone to Sail Around the World.
Safety Air Brake Invention.
(Special Correspondence.)
Greensboro, May 12. At a meeting
of the Board of Aldermen yesterday
afternoon, the all absorbing topic of
the street paving question was settled,
and the report looks like a complete
vindication of Messrs. Merrimon and
Benbow, property owners, who sought
to have the city enjoined some time
ago from paving out any more money
on the contract, alleging that the work
was defective. The city fought the in
junction and Judge Furguson declined
to grant it. Later the Board of Alder
man appointed a committee of its own
to investigate the work and this com-
mitttee submitted this report yesterday
afternoon.
'The committee to whom you re
ferred the matter of the investigation
of the paving of Elm street with vitri
fied brick would respectfully report
that, pursuant to the authority con
ferred upon them, they secured the ser
vices of an expert engineer, Mr. G. C,
White, of Durham, ,N. C. and on May
1, 1905 together with the said expert
they proceeded to investigate said pav-
ng work, by opening the same digging
into and examining it.
'Fifteen excavations were made, in
as many different places, chosen in the
judgment of your committee in such a
manner as to accord a fair test of said
work.
"From their own inspection and ex
amination, and from the report of Mr.
White, which is herewith submitted as
part hereof, your committee finds
that said paving on Elm street is de
fective, and that said work does not
comply with the contract and specifica
tions.
'Your committee recommends that
no further sums be paid, by the city to
the contractors, the Southern Paving
and Construction Company, until said
pavement is done, built and finished in
substantial compliance with said con
tract and specifications."

Mr. John B Wright; of this citv. who
has for three years been at work on a
safety air brake attachment has had
three patents issued to him and now
has several applications for others
pending. Mr. Wright has had his air
brake in successful operation for three
months on three important railroad
systems and they have proven every'
imng mat is claimed ior uiem, omciais
. . . i . i i
writing Mr. Wright in high commenda
tion of the device. These tests have
been so satisfactory, Mr. Wright is
now building these brakes for general
use. He has made eight different de
vices, and now has his brake as near
perfection as possible. The device sets
in operation the brake already on the
train, automatically putting it into
emergency in case of derailment or
anything that caused the truck to be
placed in an abnormal condition. Any
derailment, a split switch,. the breaking
up a center pin. wheel or axle imme
diately puts the air brake on the whole
train, thus doing what the engineer
would do if he knew the moment any
such accident occurred which he of
coure cannot know. The best railroad
men in the country who have carefully
investigated the invention, declared it
to be absolutely new. and by far the
most practical and perfect prevention
ol disastrous wrecks yet discovered.
J. E. Latham's Weekly Cotton Letter
Special to The Journal
Greensboro, N. C, May 12th. The
market has been much more active this
week caused by very low temperature
throughout the South. In many locali
ties killing frost is reported with much
injury to young cotton. Good trade
continues everywhere, and this is the
most bullish argument that can be ad
vanced. So long as spinners can con
tract ahead at profitable rate they will
be willing to buy cotton to cover these
sales. The new crop despite.., the frost
scare seems to be doing fairly well and
while present prices are very remuner
ative to cotton growers yet the neces
sity for a large production keeps the
market steady and no important decline
is expected until the situation Is more
favorably developed. The amount of
American cotton brought Into sight for
the week is 79,321 bales less than the
same week last year, the statistics are
gradually growing more , bulish each
week, but nothing has yet appeared to
make the trade fear a famine this sum

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
'A Pertinent Suggestion
Mr. Editor :
As am old Confederate soldier and
one who has always the interests of the
veterans at heart, I have a suggestion
in regard to the annual Fourth of July
dinner, and I think I voice the senti

some good speaker who was in the
army and shared our hardships and
knew the conditions of the service. The
old soldiers will feel better satisfied to
hear a speech like that than all the
canned oratory that could be produced.

School Notice.
On Monday May 14, all grades will
begin a review of the work during this
term and the final examinations will be
gin about May 17. I hope every pupil
will be present for these reviews and
the examinations. There are a num
ber of children in the city who have
passed on the first term's work once,
and some twice, but they have dropped
out of school before the final examina
tions and 30 have remained in the grades
where they were. If it is possible
these pupils should make every effort to
be in school for the next three weeks,
make up what they have missed and get
promoted. I should like very much to
see every pupil in school get promoted
and those who fail are usually those
who drop out in the spring or come
once a week. I hope the parents in the
city will help us in trying to help their
children and see that we have every
pupil now in the city, in school during
the next three weeks. School will
close on June 1.
