Raleigh. Dec. 14. Great surprise is
expressed here this eveDing, nt the news
that James M. Mewhornc has resigned as
Commissioner of Agriculture, resigna
tion to take effect Dec. 31st, and that the
Board of Agriculture has accepted his
resignation.
This was done at a late hour, and it is
the result of a deal by which Mewborne
becomes superintendent of the peniten
tiary, vice John R. Smith, and the latter
is elected to succeed Mewborne as
Agricultural Commissioner.
The reason given for this step' is, that
Mewborne is considered a far more able
manager than Smith.
This remarkable deal is engineered by
Governor Russell.
The penitentiary hoard will meet in a
few days to elect Mewborne Superinten

Manuel Rafael Angnlo, a member nf the
Cuban revolutionary junta, a portfolio in
the new autonomic cabinet, in order to
nducc him to return to Cuba.
New Yoke, December 13 At the
Cuban junta headquarters and from
other sources here it was learned that
Sanguilly's loyalty to Ihe Cuban cause
had been under suspicion for some time
and that his reported action in offering
his services unconditionally to General
Blanco was by no means a surprise.
Delegate Tonias Estrada Pal ma said that
he could hardly believe thut Sanguilly
had capitulated, but that he did not at
tach much importance to the report,
even If true. General hanguilly was in
New York until about a week ngo.
It was said at the junta that Senor
Anirulo. referred to in the dispatch, was
not a member of that body, which con

of the autonomy offers. It has no con

The great English scientist, Huxley
said the best start in life is a sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail to digest
food properly because they lack the
propel quantity of digestive ncids (lac
tic and hydrochloric; and peplogenic
products; the most sensiblo remedy
all cases of indigestion, is to take afte
each meal one or two of Stuart's Dys.
pepsla Tablets because they supply in
pleasant harmless form all the elements
that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyipepsi
Tablet will cure every form of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
They Increase flush, Insure pure blood
strong nerves, a bright eye and clear
complexion, because all these result only
from wholesome food well digested.
