The bankers and financiers of | the country are discussing tho ! probability and advisability of an other bond issue. It is admitted by bankers in about all parts of | the country that the government would have no difficulty in get ting all the mousy it wanted, and might be able to borrow it as low as per cent. . As to the advisability of a bond ( issue there is a great variety of opinion. There is a strong senti ment expressed in the interviews on the subject which are appear ing in the public prints, that the government should be more eco nomical so as to avoid if possible any further increase of the public debt. It is pointed out that this is not the time for making appro priations for public buildings in all the little cities of the country, and that rivers and harbors could get along with less than the river and harbor bill carries for then). There appears to be a very genera! desire that the Nicaragua canal be built as soon as possible, even if bonds have to be issued for that purpose. It is contended that it would be a paying investment from the start. It can be safely said that the 1 republican managers do not want a bond issue, and they are not go ing to have one if they can avoid it. That is apparent from what Mr. Cannon said the other day on the floor of the House. Tuere has already been one bond issue of $200,000,000 since this adminis tration came into office, and an other issue would help greatly to defeat the republican party in the next national campaign. The re publican leaders understand that very well, and so they will under take to get along without a bond issue. Still, the pressure in be half of the Nicaragua canal is so strong that the republicans may consent to a bond issue for the purpose of building the canal. If all the schemes for spending mon ey now before congress were ap proved, however, there would be a [ treasury deficiency even if there should be a bond issue as large as the last one.—Savannah News. WOODRUFF. Special to THE NEWS. Last weeks letter. Some of our citizens are attend ing court at Monroe this week.

Rabbit hunting was all the go in this section last week. Not withstanding the sharp notes of the cold, icy winds that were blowing a blizzard from the north, the boys were out bright and early Monday morning on track of the fleet-footed hares, whose tracks betrayed their whereabouts too plainly on the surface of the beau ftiul snow. The boys were deter mined in their chase and did not give up the sport until over 200 of the cotton-tails were brought to the frying pan. “Rabbit hash” was almost as plentiful as the snow, and it is needless to say that we enjoyed the stew as well as we did the hunt which gave us a relish for those brown hams, big fat biscuits, and that good old hot coffee prepared and served by the hands of God’s noblest creation— the women.

It is cod-liver oil, the purest and the best in the world, but made so palata ble that almost everybody can take it. Nearly all children like it and ask for more. SCOTT'S EMULSION looks like cream; it nour ishes the wasted body of the baby, child or adult better than cream or any other food in existence. It bears about the same rela tion to other emulsions that cream does to milk. If you have had any experience with other so-called “just as good” preparations, you will find that this is a fact. The hypophosphito that are combined with the cod-liver oil give additional value to it because they tone up the nervoui system and impart strength to the whole body. • 50c. and si.oo. all druggists.
