In The famous Cttlar '; : THE EDITOES'S LEISURE HOUBS Points and Paragraphs of Things Fressnt, Fast and Future. Mr. Lewis Nixon who six months ago went in with a flourish of trum pets as leader of Tammany Hall, has resigned. He could not quite manage the "tigers," and did not wish to allow tbsm to manage him ; so he resigned the leadership and declared himsell out of politics and "glad of it." ...... i About fourteen months ago the reat Jefferson hotel was burned in Richmond. Almost Phoenix like it has arisen from its owfl ashes of des truction and was reopened in grand style Thursday night of last week. It is practically the same hostelry it was before the fire with some slight changes in the interior. Whether you smoke or chew or whether you donot ; whether the old lady takes her snuff or whether she does not ; or whether or not you are in any way interested in . tobacco, if you are a North Carolinian a sare enough "Tar Heel" you must feel proud a little bit at least in the follow ing from the Raleigh letter to the Charlotte Observer May 11 : "A telegram from H. H. Briiniey in charge of the Agricultural Depart ment's exhibit at the Charleston Expo sition, stales that to-day North Caroli na was awarded three gold medals for t abac to out of seven awarded' for the entire United States." The most lively, interest now in North Carolina is the general educa tional interest that is stirring the State Irom one side to the other. Governor Ayccck is said to eall it a "crusade ;'" Dr. Chas. D. Mclver, "an educational revival ;"and Mr. Walter Page, "a rev olution." Whatever you may call it, North Carolina is stirred now educa tionally as neyer before ; and, while all the dreams oi some ol our most en thusiastic and sanguine leaders in tne work may not be realized soon if ever, there can bo no doubt that great good will come to the State through this new movement along educational lines. "A bridge of wood over a river "of fire," was the description once given of the follies of the "reconstruction" period in the South. Many of those who little understood matters at the close of the Civil War, now recognize in the South tact and ability fully to master Southern problems. Concerning the great educational awakening that is now stirring the entire South, and especially North Carolina, The Outlook senaibly says: "Any largo educational movement, or the application of any general educa tional policy In the South, must be worked out in a large measure by Southern men. One ot the saddest results of the war was the separation of the two sections in sympathy and in activity and the attempt of the North to solve Southern problems without sympathetic study of them, and. with out the aid of the Southern people. If, during the reconstruction period, statesmanship instead ot partisan poli tics had had" its way, this blunder would never have been made. The Southerner has a keen sense cf justice ; what he needs most of nil is not argu ment with hia view, but sympathy and the attempt to understand his condi tions ; to look at his problems, not with a purely critical and. certainly not in an antagonistic spirit, but from the standpoint of brotherly compre hension." BEHIND THIS Wonderful DR. WORTHINGTON'S REMEDY, we stand and guarantee absolutely to refund the purchase price on every bottle that fails to produce re sults. You need just sucn a reliable remedy as this in your house every minute. In case of Colic, Diarrhoea, Cramps, or paiu of any sort, positive and immediate relief is absolutely nec essary you can be sure of it by keep ing in the house at all times a bottle of DR. WORTHINGTON'S REMEDY. it' seir selling price at idl dealers. OLD MAN0FTHE SEA. SINBAD'S STRONG SHOULDSSSi Status of Southern Education. The following extract from an ar ticle by Edward Ingle in the Manufac turers' Record hearing upou the cru sade of the Southern Education Board indicates that there is more than one side to the propositions advanced in the interests of that Board : There is a fact intensely dramatic and absolutely trutht.il about the statement that in the ten Southern States south of the Potomac and east of the Mississippi adult white illiteracy is as great as it was before the Civil War, if that statement be reyersed . so as to read that in these ten Southern States there is no more white adult illiteracy than there was before the war. That is an amiTzTng fact of self-reliance in education when fact 3 about the whole South for the past forty years are recalled. Nothing; should be permitted to weaken that spirit. War during four of those years trans ferred about $2,000,000,000 worth ot property from mdiyiduab to the State, and at the same time reduced the pro ductive value of that property to a de gree which may hardly be estimated in dollars and cents. War aud subse quent re-destruction wiped cut at least $1,000,000,000 worth of property repre sented in hanking capital, insurance and the value of land, houses, etc., and weighted with grievous debts a popu lation already depleted by the death or permanent injury of thousanJs of its most sturdy members. Iu the past thirty yeurs the South, while overcom ing mauy cf these evils, has maintain ed the literacy of its. white population, in sp?te of the imperfections of the school system, and in spite of the fact that of the $615,000,000 spent by it iu maintaining common schools, about $100,000,000 have gone toward reduc ing by about 10 per cent, the illiteracy of its negroes, and thi?, too, in the face of hostility or ignorance on the outside centering in interlerenco with the negro. This fact, pathetic as it is, ! and unparalleled for magnitude iu the history of education, ought to induce well-meaning individuals on the out side to be slow to proffer advice or other aid, and enthusiastic Southern ers to hesitate about accepting either. The task is for the South to work out it3 own common-school system with out regard to what has been done else .'here a system best suited to its pe culiar needs. With the records in mit,d thera seems to be more than coincidence of time in a growing determination on the part of the South to; devote more of its energies to the proper education of its whites and in the apparent con ception ol the Southern education hoard idea by men of the N rth or of the South who have heretofore been occupied mainly or entirely in promot ing the schooling cf the negroes. The coincidence becomes more significant with the putative founder insisting up- on the linking in the scheme oi whites and negroes. For forty years the Southern Sinbad has carried astride his shoulders the black Old Man of the Sea, placed there against Sinbad's will, or without the Old Mau of the Sea's ..intelligent actiou. Bent with his burden, Siubad has palieutly but persistently advanc ed, keepiug, howeyer, his head erect and his eyes to the front, and doing all within his power to loosen himself from j his burden, and at the same lime, in a spirit so different, from that ot the original Sinbad, to prepare the Old Mau of the Sea to stand alone and to advance on right lines. At the point where success seems in sight Siubad is THAT PAIN . No matter where it is located will leave you immediately if you will use, according to directions, DR. WORTH INGTON'S REMEDY. This is a rem edy that produces results that youcan feel it relieves immediately and cuies while it is relieving. Try it once for a b eadache, for cram ps, for any kipd of pain."V . ' WORTH MORE THAN 25 CENTS, V U'aseUinOriceatalldealers; " offered a bottle, and is told that it con tains the panacea for his woes. He hears the imprisoned genie's silvery, seductive voice saying : '-Uncork the bottle, turn me loose, and together you and I will solve vour problem of the Old Man of the Sea." Siubad, how eyer, discovers in that voice the tones of the genii who for forty years have forgotten him in their complete ab sorption in the fate of the Oil Man o the Sea, or who, wittingly o; unwit tingly, have hampered him ia their encouraging the Old Man of the Sea in misapprehension of the verities aud to restlessness and discontent. Sinbad has the right to ask himself: "II I uncork this bottle may not the genii, however good his purpose, but true to instincts, actually lighten the bands which biud the Old Man of the Sea to my back and throw me to my hands and knees forever? Must I not, for the good of the Ola Man of the Sea, of the genie, and especially of myself, bury the bottle?" God save the Commonwealth ! Dr. Curry Eoyally Eatsrtainsa, Madrid, Spain. Dr. Jabez L M. Curry, the special repre sentative of the United Spates at the coronation of King Alfonso, which is to take place Saturday, arrived here at 3 o'clock to day and was received at the railroad station by the secretary of the United Slates legation, S. S Sickles, and Mrs. Sickles, and by Mar quis Vallalobar, representing the gov ernment. The American envoy was driven in a royal landau to the resi dence which he will occupy during his stay iu this city. Dr. Curry was greatly pleased with the quarters pro vided fcr him. lie reached the house' in time to witness Irom the windows the first ceremony connected with the present festivities, which was attended by the King, the Queen R3geut aud the court, namely, the laying of the foundation stone of a free school. The neighbor ing houses were gaily decorat ed with lligs and soldiers aad Civic Guards were drawn up around the site. The American envoy has been placed on the same footing as foreign princes of the blood, and Is treated with great er honor than the extraordinary en voys, with the exception of the envoy of France. Dr.' Cuny has a house to himself, servants, a French cook and a royal carriage with a coachman and footmen in the palace livery, whereas the other envoys are lodged in hotels. The mansion set apart for the use of Dr. Curry belonged to an English lady, .the Marquise de Leuviile, who died be fore it was completed. The workmen hurriedly finished the picturesque resi dence. It is of mediaeval appearance aud is situated on high ground within a stone's throw of the palace, com manding a magnificent panorama of miles of scenery reaching to the foot ol tho jg,erra Guardarrama. The house is richly furnished with ancient tapes tries and other rare works of Spanish art. The government reserved a most ap propriate xleasure for Dr. Curry, in tfae selection of his old friend, the j Marquis of Vallalobar, to attend him while in Madrid. The Marquis was formerly a secretary of the Spanish le gation at Washington. Dr. Curry was formerly United States minister to Madrid.

"Five years ago a disease the doctors called dyspepsia took such hold of me that I could scarcely go," writes Geo. S. Marsh, well-known attorney of Noc ona.Tex. "I took quanities - of pepsin and other medicines but nothing help ed me. As a drowning man grabs at a straw I grabbed at Kodol. I felt an improvement at once and after a few bottles am sound and well." Kodol is the only preparation which ex"5tly re produces the natural dig3ative juices and 'consequently is the only one which digests any good food aud cures any form ol stomach -trouble, , RS.

"Suffering for years with vhat ap peared to be an incurable malady, and after a great expense incurred consult ing physicians without any beneflt, 1 was recommended to try Peruna. As a last expedient 1 purchased a bottle, and before one-half of the contents were used 1 felt the beneficial results.

DOOMED km DEAD. AN INTERESTING BISSBIPriON. Th3 City of S Pisrr. Ncy York Sun. St. Pierre was the largest town and the commercial centre ol tha French island of Martinique. It was the larg est town in the French West Indies and was well bailt and prosperous. It had a population of about 25,100. It was. divided into two parts, known as the upper and lower towns. The lower town was compact, with narrow streets and unhealthy. The upper town was cleaner, healthier and handsomely laid out. There was in the upper town a fine botanical garden and an old Catholic college, as well as a fine hospital. Mont Pelee, the largest of the group t volcanic mountains, is about 1,-100 ieet high. It had long been inactive as a volcano, although in August, 1851, it had a violent eruption. It is in the northwestern end of the island and" near the foot ol Its western slope, front ing the bay, St. Pierre was built. " The consuls resident at St. Pierre were, ft.r the United States, T. T. Pren tis ; Great Britain, J. Japp ; Denmark, M. E. S. Meyer ; Italy," P. Piisonneau ; Mexico, E. Dapre; Sweden and Nor way, Gustavo Borde. There were four banks in the city the Banque de la Martinique ; Bauque Trans-Atlantique ; Colonial Bank ot London, and the Credit 1-oncier Colonial. There were sixteen commission mer chants, Iwelve dry goods stores, twenty two provision dealers, twenty-six rum manufacturers, eleven colonial produce merchants, four brokers and two hard ware dealers.

Mrs. Catherine R. Berto.-i, Ktt N. Elm street, Centralia, 111., writes: "I have found Peruna tne most satis fying medicine I ever tried in my life.

Its extreme length if about forty-five miles from nortbwe.it to southeast, and the main part of it is in the shape of an oval with rough edges, its greatest width being fifteen miles. At the lower eud of this main part, the old Fort Royal Bay since the French Revolution called Fort do France Bay cuts iu so deep as to come within six miles of meeting the inlets ol La Robert and Le Fran cais on the other side. The whole a-ea of tho isiaud, near 400 square miles is mountainous. Be sides Mount Pelee, there aro further south and about midway ot the oval the three crests ol Courbet and all along th3 great ridge arc the black and ragged cones of old volcanoes. In the section south of the deep bay there are two 1jss e'evated and more irregularridges, one running south east and terminating in the Pilton Vauclin and tha other extending west ward and presenting to view on the coast Mounts Caraibe and Constant. The mountainous interior is torn and gashed with ancient earthquake upheavals and there are perpenuicuiar cliffs, deep clefts and gorges, black. holes filled with water and swift lor-' . rents dashing over precipices and fall- j . t ing into cavernsin a wora an me. fantastic savagery of volcanic scent ry, but the whole covered with th 1 rich verdure of the tropics. The total population of the island is reckoned at 17500, of whom 10,000 are whites, 15,000 ot Asiatic origin and 150,000 blacks of all shaJes from ebony to light octoroon. Martinique had two interesting claims to distinction in that the Em press Josephine was born there as was Mme. de Maintenou, the latter passing her girlhood on tho island as Francofse d'Aubigne. At Fort de France thera is a marble statue of tho Empress Josephine. Chamberlain's Stomach aid Liver Tablets. Every -box- guaranteed, Price, 25 cents.
