In all well regulated street car

Hobson declares that nothing
but a tropical gale will prevent
him from raising the Cristobal

“See Napleajpd then die” —
if old Vesuvius don’t want to
vomit herself to death, she must
keep her eyes closed.
Hobson may know nothing
about raising a family, but
when it comes to raising a navy
he can step Spanish.
William Waldorf Astor is
claiming to be an American cit

blame for this calamity.
The Cosmopolitan magazine

These damp-wet days are forc

Gen. Merritt’s formal report

P out and helping to swell the old
’democratic majority.
Judge Ma idox spoke in Dal
ton yesterdey, but cs the con
gressional election does not oc
cur until November, he will
doubtless make many more cam
paign speeches. Remember
Judge Maddox’s name is not to
be voted on tomorrow. S’ate’
ments to that effect are incorrect
and misleading. Judge Maddox
will carry all the counties in the
Seventh this year—but he wont
be elected until congressional
election day..
The Brooklyn Eagle strongly
commends the choice of Judge
Van Wyck as the Democratic
candidate for governor of New
York. The fads that Judge Van
Wyck is a citizen of Brooklyn,
and that The Eagle has a na
tional reputation for candid and
independent utterances, give
this indorsement more than or
dinary value.
A dispatch from Toronto says
that even the Prohibitionist pa
peri consider the majority (IS,-
000) too small to influence the
government to attempt to enact
prohibitory legislation. The net
result of the verdict, therefore,
is that Canada is in favor of
prohibition, but not particular
ly in saver of its enforcement.

While the farmers of the

Frank Weldon says the people
of North Carolina have enough

ferer from indigestion complicated with com
plaints that generally accompany such cases

of gas and a heavy load in my stomach I would
belch up my food after eating; Itowels were verv
irregular; I would imagine 1 saw objects floating
before my eyes I had pain across my back
About December, 1806, I began feeling much
worse than usual and was beginning to think I
would have to suffer the remainder of my life
I was greatly discouraged. I described my case
to Dr Pierce's staff of physicians and they di

in her foreign trade for the
first half of the calendar year

have about one billion dollars of
investments in Argentina.

clock of the “grandfather” pattern
which goes for twelve months
without winding, It was construc
ted about 1660 by Dan Quare. and
is suth a splendid timekeeper that
itjdoes not vary a second in a
month. It dees not record the
hours only, but also the seconds,
minutes, days and months, and
even the times of sunrise and sun
set. The clock has just been clean

i-tate that the mechanism is iu
excellent condition that the old
timepiece will probably Zkeep on
going for another 200 years,

Apr >pos of the report that all
th* vessels in the navy are to b*
pained black in future, because
black paint is cheaper than white.
The Boston Transcript observes
that “the Government ought to be
able to pay a little more, or a
great deal more, for paint if iron
ships with a white coat are more
comfortable for the crews than
ships painted black. Uud.-r a
tropical sun an iron ship is hot
enough under any conditions, there
does not seem to be any necessity
for making it hotter by the usf of
black paint, which absorbs, while
white refracts, heat-ravs.”
