I KIDNEY DISEASES SSBf I
When the Kidneys fall to perform their functions properly by not straining out the poison
ous waste matter from the blood as it passes through them, the poisons are carried by the n
circulation to every part of the body, deranging the different organs. This causes heart

WILLIAMSTON, N. C., FRIDAY, JUNE 3.1904.
THE GRAY SQUIRREL
Why Docs It Hold Up Its Lift Fore
foot When Listening!
"Why is it that certain animals
hold their left foot up when they
•ant to listen?" naked tlic observ
ant man. "It is a curious trait
which 1 have observed in a great
many animals, and I have often
wondered just why they resorted to
this practice while listening atten
tively to some sound. Can it be
tint lifting the left foot enables
these animals to hear more acutely ?
Or is it with them a matter of in
heritance from some remote progen
itor who could not hoar at all ex
cept through this part of the anat
omy? The practice may, after all,
lie of mere rudimentary significance.
Tho ha hit may have been acquired
before the processes of growth along
the well defined lines of evolution
hud given shape to the cur. Prob
ably tho animals have some pecul
iarly sensitive nerve in the foot or
fore limb which aids them in the
businoM of hearing.
"At any rate I have observed tho
habit in a number of aniim-ls, and I
may mention moro particularly tho
gray squirrel, for I have noticed
that this habit is very pronounced
in this creature. I do not moan to
euy that all grav squirrels »re given
to the habit, 'i'liut statement would
be too broad, llut I do mean lo
say the habit is singularly pro
nounced in this unimul, and, of
course, there must be seme special
reason for it. It is reasonable to
assume that the habit of lifting the
forefoot in some wuy has to do
with the gray squirrel's hearing,
else the nnimul would not so uni
formly use the member in the way
mentioned when evidently ainiotH
to keen its ear up to highest possi
ble tension.
fc Tho fact may have lx>en a matter
of comment in sonic of the books
which deal more particularly with
tho life of the squirrel, if go, I
have not observed it. It seems 0
rao that the question id a fruitful
otto for persons who take an inter
est in subjects of this kind. Ani
mals arc always interesting things
to discuss, and while we may think
wo know a great dcul about them
tho fact is that they are still com
passed in a veil of mystery so far
a« many of tho little wavs are con
cerned."—New Orleans 'fWes-Dcm

FROM THE CAPITOL
OF OUR STATE
Thomas D. Meares, of Wilmington, is Ap
point Receiver for A. & N. C. R. R.
May 30, 1904
The hearing of the nppli. ation of
John 1\ Cuylcr, of New Jersey, u
private &t ckholdcr, for the appoint
ment of a receiver fur the A, & N.
C. Railroad, wastakeu up by Judge
Pumell in the U. S. Dis rict Court
here Saturday. Counsel represent
ing the complainant and the rail
road (the latter being employed by
the Mate to resist this second at
•empt to place the road in the hands
of a receiver) were all present
They include the following. W. W.
Clark, of Few Bern, T. M. Argo
and W. 11. Day, of Raleigh, all for
the complainant; W. C. Maxwell, of
Charlotte, representing K. S. Finch
(the former complainant in a si mi
jlar application (Attorney-General
Gilmer, ex-Governor Jams, R. II
Battle, John 11. Fou, C M. Busbce
and \V. C. Monroe for the State and
the railioad. President Bryan, Sup
erintendent Fill, Roadmaster Car
lisle and other witnesses were also
present. There was a warm
contest, but the result was as ex
pected :
A receiver was appointed, and
Thomas 1). Mearcs, of Wilmington,
is the new receiver. He was form
erly connected with the Seaboard
Air line, and is the man whom
former receiver Mcßce engaged as«
an expert to examine the books,
of the Company. He will take
charge at once as temporary rec> iv
er of the property, tiling a bond in
the sum ol $50,000. Lawyer G. S.
Ryan, of Raleigh, was appointed
Special Master in the case, to t.ike
evidence and report hia findings to
the court July 15th, to which date
the hearing was continued.
Counsel for the railroad took an
appeal to the Circuit Court ard the
appeal bond was tit once j.iven
Judge Purne 1 stated that- if the
stockholders »o desired, they could
hold a meeting and on any
propositions to lease the thai
if they voted to accep an offer to
lease they could submit the propo
sition to the court, and if found sat
isfactory he would dismiss the re
ceivership. An 1 thus the matter
stands at this wiiting.

The climax came Saturday even
ing in the contempt proceedings
against the Lumtierton lawyers
when fudge Peebles ordered that the
three men who made aflidavits, 011
their own knowledge, charging the
judge with drtinkness Ic committ
to jail for 30 days and lined J»jo
each lor contempt—this sentence
being the limit of the law. They
are E. W. Kerr, of Sampson coun
ty; C. F. Carroll, of DupKn and R.
C. Southerland, of Sampson. They
are to bj arrested to day (Monday)
Their only relief is through habeas
corpua proceedings, and counsel
will at once sue ont writ** before
one of the judges ot the Supreme
Court. Previous to this sensational
turn in the proceedings.it had been
agreed to remove the further hear
ing of the case to Cumberland coun
ty. the date being set for June 14,
at Fayelteville, and that Judge
George H Brown be asked t» hear
the case, he be the sole judge, and
pass on both the law and the evi
d nee. So the end of this unpre
cepented and highly sensational
case U not yet reached.
The Democratic State Conven
tion is only four weeks off, and as
the time approaches interest grows
in the gubernatorial contest. Can
vassing the returns from the coun
ties that have chosen delegates up
to this date, a simple run in ad
dition shows that Major ftedman
is unquestionably still holding the
p sition of leading candidate with
Messrs Cl' mi, Turner and David
son following in the order named
Some of the newspapers and other
friends of Maj. Stedman claim that
he already has from 40 to 50 more
votes than Mr. Glenn and contend
that this lead v\ ill l>e gradually and
largely increased from now on
Lieutenant-Governor Turner's ad
herents are rot making much noise
but it is plain to see that they re
main hopeful of the final outcome.
The race for the Lieutenant-Gov
ernorship is also proving to be most
interesting, and is confined now to
Col. GeDige L. Morton, of New
Hanover, and Judge Frances D.
Winston, of Keitie. The friends of
both appear to be sanguine of sue
ccss. The personal popularity of
both gentlemen, coupled with their
well known ability and fitness, is
making a v« ry strong candidate of
each of them.

Wonderful things are d«ne for
the human body by surgery. Or
gans are taken out and scraped and
polished and put bkclc, or they may
lie removed entirely; bones are
spliced; pipes take the place of di
s?ased sections of veins; antiseptic
dressings arc applied to wounds,
bruises, burns and like injuries be
fore inflammation sets in, which
causes them to heal without matu
ration and in one-third the time re
quired by the old treatment. Cham
berlain Pain Balm acts on this same
principle. It is an antiseptic
and when applied to such injuries,
causes them to heal very quickly.
It also allays the pain and soreness.
Keep a bottle of Pain Balm in your
home and it will save you time and
money, not to mention the incon
venience and suffering which such
injuries entail. For sale by S. R. |
