NO. 22 THE LATEST OUTRAGE which the people of the South are resenting, is the efforts of some to sell them imitations for the real Simmons Liver Regu lator, because they make more money by the imitation ; . and they care little that they swindle the people in selling them an inferior article. It's the money they are after, and the people can look out for themselves. Now this is just what the people are doing, and merchants are having a hard time trying to get people to take the stuff they offer them in place of Simmons Liver Reg ulator which i3 the "King of Liver Medicines," because it never fails to give relief in all liver troubles. Be sure that you get Simmons Liver Regulator. You know it by EgOlfi?! ne sa m e old stamp fapio of the Red Z on the Kfji package.

Men starve as they toil in the black coal mines, Girls freeze as they stitch in the cold ; But in every land where the moon light shines The rumseller rolls in gold. The laborer laboreth all his youth For the poorhouse when he is old, And many the farmer's toils and fears ; But the rumseller rolls in gold. Jack drinks his wages and staggers away To his wife, the story is old, You may read the police reports next day, While the rumseller rolls in gold. In a coffin of pine lies ths drunkard, dead, Under the pauper mold, And his orphans beg their daily bread, While the rumseller rolls in gold. Mary Kyle Dallas, in Demorcst's Magazine for Ajril. Where The Bad Eggs Go. Selected. Considerably over 1.000,000 dozen decayed and pungent eggs reach Xew York City every year. What becomes of them? If you ask a man he will smile and say that he does not know, but that nothing is wasted. That is true. All the bad eggs are sold. Some go to the tanneries to help put an ex tra polish on leather. A larger num ber of them are sold to the great coffee roasting establishment?. There the odoriferous contents are used to put an oily gloss on the roasted coffee bean. Thus eventually the egg that is cast out by the exchange jobber finds its way into the stomach of the consumer. Probably the unsuspecting consumer, judging by its looks, congratulates him self on getting a pound of coffee of ex tra strength and richness of aroma and fiabor. Probably he has. u noon mi NOW OX HAND. WILL SELL THEM CHEAP. 2?"

The Bopulifts say they are tired of hearing so much about that Fred Douglass Legislature and of the devil try of clerks and unprincipled repre sentatives in stealing and sneaking in bills. Doubtless they are tired and are anxious to hear no more of It. A few years ago a man Avas tried in the Supe rior Court here for stealing seed cotton. F. I. Osborne was then ' solicitor and made one of his greatest speeches for the prosecution. After Mr. Osborne closed his argument the prisoner was asked by a friend what he thought of the solicitor's speech. He replied, "Well, to tell you the God's truth I never did get so tired of hearing one speech in all my life. That fellow Os borne naturally makes me tired."

Of course two or three of the group wanted to know all about it, and he continued "One of you let me have a clean f 1 bill for a moment. Ah, that's a daisy of a bill just of! the press last week. Xow, then, I lay the bill face down ward on the floor thus. The chap who did this trick was not a profession al juggler, but he did it with neatness and dispatch. I don't say I can doit myself, but I'll try. "But what is the trick?" "Why, I take my knife and cut the bill lengthwise so. Then I cut it crosswise so. That divides the bill into four equal portions, dotsn't it?" Every one in the group answered that It did, and the drummer gazed at the pieces awhile and said : "The trick is to blow the pieces to gether so that the edges will unite. I will blow again" "What in the Old Harry are you try ing to do?" demanded the owner of the bill. "Why, I'm tr-ing to blow the pieces together," innocently replied the drum mer. "But you can't do it." "Xo, I see I can't. The Chicago man did it, but I'm not on to the trick. Here are the four pieces, and I guess you'll have to get a bottle of mucilage and a sheet of paper and paste them to gether. Awfully cute trick, but I can't do it. Wish I could, but I can't. And, strangely enough, the owner of the bill looked at the pieces, and from the pieces to the drummer and back, and then called the drummer a double dyed idiot and walked off with the dec laration that he'd like to punch some body's head. America One Hundred Years Ago. n ! . : Eyery gentleman wore a queue and powdered his hair. Imprisonment for debt was a com mon practice. There was not a public library in the United States. Almost all the furniture was import ed from England. An old copper mine in Connecticut was used as a prison. There was only one hat factory, and that made cocked hats. Crockery plates were objected to be cause they dulled the knives. A day laborer considered himself well paid with two shillings a day. A man who jeered at the preacher or criticised the sermon was fined. Virginia contained a fifth of the whole population of the country. A gentleman bowing to a lady al ways scraped his toot on the ground. Two stage-coaches bore all the trav el between Xew York and Boston. The whipping post and pillory were still standing in Boston and Xew7 York. Beef, pork, salt fish, potatoes and hominy were the staple diet all the year round. Buttons were scarce and expensive, and the trousers were fastened with pegs or loces. There were no manufacturers in this country, and every housewife raised her own flax raid made her own linen. The church collection was taken in a bag at the end of a pole, with a bell attached to rouse sleepy contributors. Leather breeches, a checked shirt, a red flannel jacket and a cocked hat formed the dress of an artisan. When a man had enougli tea, he placed his spoon across his cup to indi cate that he wanted no more. A new arrival in a jail was set upon by his fellow prisoners and robbed of everything he had.

Brick work exactly in the middle of Craven street, which was unearthed by the excavation for the laying of the Government sewer pipe, has caused considerable surmising There are brick work sewers of olden times that have passed out of use and been forgot ten which are dug up at intervals, and the finding of such causes no special comment ; but this hrick work is not of that character. It appears to be one side of a solid foundation ot a house unning exactly down the middle of the street in a direct line with it, and at the southern end it branches off into a vault-like place of which three sides are exposed, revevealing an interior ot about six feet across. The digging does not extend far enough to show the fourth wall of the vault, huge ancient chimney, or whatever it was. Col. J. D. Whitford, the city's histo rian, examined the ruins Tuesday and he Informs us that whatever stood there, existed prior to the year 1723, for that was the year in which the streets of Xew Berne were laid off, and of course no building could have stood there since that time. Previous to the laying off of the streets great irregular ity the Colonel informs us existed in the location of the houses of the in habitants. A Horse's Eleven Requests. Selected. 1.

The "Ereathing Cave." St. Louis Republic. In the State of Xorth Carolina, in the western part, in the range of moun tains known as the Fork range, is loca ted the most remarkable cayern now known to exist. It is called the "Breathing Cave" and Is certainly a most wonderful natural curiosity. Du ring the summer months a current of air comes from it which is so strong that a full grown man can not walk against it, and in wi liter the "inrush" of air is equally strong. At times a most unpleasant odor is emitted from the cave, which is supposed to be from the carcasses of dead animals, which have been sucked in and killed by com ing in contact with the inner wall of the inanimate breathing monster. Du ring the spring months when the change from inhalation to exhalation takes place, the air is filled with pellets ot hair, dry bones, small claws, etc., which are supposed to"come from crea tures sucked into this dry-land ma-1-strom in times passed. Many scientists have visited and re visited the place for the purpose of studying its peculiarities, but still the mystery remains unexplained. Jones found Smith engaged in vigo rously polishing his shoes. "What are you doincr that for0 I always thought you wore patent leather." "These used to le patent leather re plied Smith, painfully bringing bis spinal column into its normal condition, "but the patent on them has expired." Washington Path finder.

An eminent Italian scientist, w h is I an acknowledged authority n malaria j and its cause, tolN ih that no matter how saturated vUh moitun -oil nmv j " i be, it is not of ixx-e-Hv unhe.dthvj I The malarial microW' is not a i.rodur-i tion of the soil, neither U it the chw or effect of decaying etretable matter. It is an indej-endent oriraiii-rn. and ha- as much an individual growth and de velopment as sheep and cattle. It must le present in the soil in order to bring about those conditions known as ma larial. It is an established fact that this microbe exists, as it has leen cul tivated and carefully observed. For its perfect growth and increase, a temper ature of about iixtj-eiuht degrees Fahrenheit Is necessary, and there must be a certain amount of humidity in the soil as well a free atmospheric action. Perfectly dry soil, or even that which is only slightly damp, will not present a favorable breeding-ground for malarial germs, and they either perish altogether or remain dormant until moisture puts the earth into more favorable conditions. The favorite and predispofaing situations for malaria, then, are low places where there is stagnant water. The colony once well established, the broiling sun of sum mer and the continuous and steamy moisture cause these small but mighty creatures to multiply with amazing rapidity, and the atmosphere becomes literally charged with them. To re main in these localities is to inhale and absorb them by the million. There is one saving possibility in the situation, and that is the cultivation and drain age of the soil. Malaria will not flour ish on a thick sod, therefore a liberal sowing of grass and a reasonably thor ough system of drainways and ditches are the safest remedies for this evil. Treo-planting is useless ; eyen the euca lyptus has no preventive or couutorac tive quality whatever. To cum up the whole case, a good hay crop is the best anti-malarial agent that can be applied to low ground ; for where grass roots form a thick mat, there is little or no atmospheric action on the soil, and, consequently, no microbes of this much-dreaded sort.

Everybody does not know that by a very simple rule the duration of the night and day can be determined at any time of year. All you have to do is to multiply the time of the sun's ris ing by two, and it will nive you the length of the night. Multiply the time ol setting by two and you get the length oi the day. It is easily demon strated at the time of the year when the sun rises and sets at 0 o'clock, and day and night are of equal duration. It is just as true as the days lengthen and shorten. Thus as winter approach es take a day when the sun rises at ( .30 and sets at 5 :30. Apply the rule and you have a night of BJ hours and a day of 11 hours. The rule can be found absolutely accurate in any season of the year. Hust E:,ve a Tar Heel. News S: Observer. Rev. Dr. L. G. Broughton formerly of this city and nephew of X. B.
