HOW TO TREAT GRIP.
A Celebrated Paris Physician's Ideas.
The New York publishes
an interview with Albert Robin,
the celebrated Paris physician,
giving his ideas as to the best
treatment of the grip. He is re-

that is that in large cities it is less
intense than in the towns
and villages. It attacks all

specially dangerous on account
of the complications that arise
from it. it follows that its true
treatment is to avoid the latter.
These complications are
pulmonary congestion, weak-
of the nervous system and
acidulous poisoning of the blood.
To avoid such complications the
patient should be kept rigorously
in bed so long as there is the
slightest fever or the slightest
cough. Warm aromatic potions
should be given, which induce
perspiration, and by sweating
eliminate the products that
encumber the blood.

that of a suffer-
from influenza is twelve times
more tonic than that of a normal
condition. Weak doses of
of quinine of from twenty-
five to fifty centigrams should be
given three times a day. The
reason is that large doses make the
patient sleep profoundly and de-
the fever, but have no action
whatever upon the poisons
in the blood and do not

often recommended as a specific
for influenza, should be mistrusted.
This medicine depresses the
system, closes the kidneys,
which are the principal means of
eliminating animal poisons, and
consequently it is more harmful
than useful. To sulphate of

moderate doses in the form of
port wine or grog.

There is a pretty general com-
plaint by the State papers of the
wretched condition of the country
roads, preventing farmers from
in town and causing much
stagnation business. In some
places since the late fall of snow
there is a scarcity of wood amount-
almost to a wood famine, and
some places have had to depend
upon the railroads to supply the
demand and prevent the needy
from suffering- This illustrates
the necessity of good and
shows why the people of the towns
as well as of the country should
take an interest in them. The
town people suffer quite as much
from bad roads as the country
people do, and both suffer much
more than either seem to realize
that they do- This is a subject
that does not receive one-half the

PUBLIC ROADS AND CONVICTS.

fences were committed, is one step
in the right direction-
There is no way in which the
convicts of North Carolina could
be with greater benefit to
all the people than putting
very man of them to work upon
the public roads. In this way
they will in no sense come into
competition with honest labor, a
complaint often heard of late
years, and with much reason and
justice because it cannot be done
without degrading the largest and
most deserving portion of our
There is not an honest laborer
in North Carolina but detests the
working of roads, and it is no
more than the truth to say that
nine out of ten who do work the
roads do so under protest, and
therefore never do and never will
do full and fair work-
And this question of public
roads is really the most vital with
which the American
has to deal to-day- It has been de-
by those making a
study of the question, that the far-
of the United States lose
more money every year by reason
of bad roads, than they pay out
in the way of taxes for all
poses.

larger than one-fourth its present

fell into the hands of the

of the present condition of the
treasury, and because efficient
and honest government can only
be assured by the frugal

under any and all conditions
leads inevitably to venal and
methods in public affairs, no
money ought to be appropriated
by Congress, except such as is
necessary to carry on the depart-
frugally, efficiently and
honestly administered.
The Republican party has, by
its national legislation, given pro-
to certain classes, always
at the expense of the masses; but
it has persistently denied
to one class, to which it might
have been given without expense
or injury to any honest man. The
class referred to is the

so much, who have vainly

Fort Worth Tex., Jan 13th,
A fall of snow in Texas south of
the Panhandle is always a novelty
and when at o'clock yesterday
afternoon the little white flakes
began to flutter from the clouds
that hung over Fort Worth for
forty-eight hours like a pall there
was a thrill of joy accompanied by
a shudder of cold in the breast of
the small boy and the staid man of
business as well. In a jiffy the
ground was covered and there was
a lively scurrying on the streets
through the blinding snow by
hurrying home to inviting
grates and stoves aglow
fires. By night-fall the thick-
of the snow was such as to
impede street car traffic and

snow fall increased and the wind
began to swash the snow about in

means were adopted and
gangs of men were put to work
with shovels to throw the snow off
the tracks. About half past seven

Houston street were startled by

is a question of vast two pi together
to the enlisted men, and
they will live in great anticipation
until it is accepted or rejected.
Had the officers of the army a
voice in the matter I am convinced
that such a bill would have been
made a law long since. It has
been and is the aim of those in
to enlist for the a
better element. I am thoroughly
convinced that this is the only
means that-can be used to retain
in the service such as they
desire. Many of the better class
have and are enlisting but retire
at the first honorable opportunity,
for the simple reason that the
government does not pay a
salary to retain their service-
We have the greatest and richest
government in the world; and
almost the smallest standing army.
This being true should not the
salary of a soldier is now-
very be increased If the
bill to which I refer should be-
come a law, those in authority
would soon realize that they hod
attained their wish in securing the
service of a better element. De-
court and the
guard house would soon be things
of the past, for our army would be
composed of gentlemen of honor
and patriotism. We have now in
the service men whose honor and
patriotism is unquestionable- But
as I have already said many of
them will retire at the expiration
of their term of service, and even
earlier if honorable means can be
found. If the question should be
asked why they leave the army,
invariably would be the reply that
the pay was not sufficient.
The army to-day is vastly differ-
from what it was a few years
ago. Much has been done for the
enlisted men. Those in authority
have used almost every means to
improve not only the intellect but
the morals of the men and giant
strides have been made in this
endeavor with marked success.
soldiers at this post have
every opportunity to improve.
The school here under the super-
vision of that efficient and popular
officer Lieut. Miller, offers many
advantages that cannot be had

so desires may become proficient

In this school you receive

line. They are taught not only to
receive messages from the sounder
but also, from the holes graph and

The artillery school at this poet
offers opportunities and

FUN AND MERRIMENT.
A Pleasant Evening at Hotel Macon.
tor
The Macon House on last Friday
evening was the scene of a brilliant
social event occasion being a
mask party given by Miss Myra
Skinner complimentary to her two
friends Misses Aileen Latham and
Lucille Owens.
Many were the bright and fancy
costumes worn by the young folks as
they assembled for the grand march,
and to the strains of the
music furnished by Smith's orchestra,
all wended their way to the
spacious dining room, where fun and
merriment reigned supreme,
There were so many good costumes
that it would be hard to say which
deserve the title of best, but for the
ladies we think Miss Can-away and
Miss Aylmer Sugg lead, while for the
gentlemen Jarvis Sugg and
Lawrence deserve special
mention.

Good Prices.
There was a large attendance
sales of the Moore real estate last
week and bidders were numerous.
The two pieces of property most
sought after were the homestead in
Greenville and the farm a mile out
on the Plank Road. The farm was
bought by J. W. Higgs at and
the homestead was bid off the first
day by C. T. at
Next day other parties raised this
bid per cent, which necessitated
homestead being sold over. The
second it was knocked down at
Mr. being the
chaser. Some other parcels of the
property sold well.
Married.
At the residence of the bride's fa-
Mr. Elbert Forbes, on January
1892, were united in heir wed-
lock Mr. Abram Joyner and Miss
Annie Forbes, all or Pitt count-, the
writer officiating. After the mar-
at o'clock the company
who had attended were invited to the
home of the groom where quite a
bountiful repast was given which
was much enjoyed.
May their pathway through life be

and the rich blessings of an all wise
Providence prove to be a means of
salvation to their souls.

Th Murder Trial.
I The trial of F. Martin lot the
killing of G. Manning is in
progress. The prosecution is -being
conducted by Solicitor and
Messrs. Swift Galloway, Jarvis A
Blow, A Tyson-, while de-
is represented by Mess. Latham
Skinner, J. E. Moore and J. D.
Murphy. The prisoner was carried
into court Monday afternoon of last
week and in answer to the bill of in-
pleaded net guilt p. A
men from Which to
select the jury was ordered and the
case was set for Thursday.
It was called about o'clock
Thursday morning when Maj.
for the defense offered a motion
to quash the bill of indictment on
the ground that one of the Grand
Jurors who found the bill had a suit
pending in court. Capt. Galloway
for the State objected to the motion
on the ground that it was offered too
late, as prisoner had already
been in court and pleaded The
argument over this lasted about two
hours and was engaged in by the
two attorneys mentioned and also by
Solicitor and Mess. Moore
and Murphy. A number of Supreme
Court decisions were referred to
showing that the matter at stage
was entirely discretionary with the
Court and Judge Bryan not
grant the motion but decided that
the case should proceed.
After recess for dinner the select-
of the jury commenced and con- j
the remainder of the day.

The examination of State wit-
began Friday morning and
continued two days, when the State
rested the case. Monday morning
the defense began introducing its
testimony and had not closed at this
writing, Tuesday afternoon. The
case is being strongly contested on
both sides, some bring-
forth frequent argument between
the counsel, which necessarily makes
progress slow.
We heard sonic old men about the
Court House say they never saw a
case proceed so slowly. No definite
idea can be had as to when the case
will close.

The magnitude of India is not
known by the ordinary reader. It
is nineteen hundred miles long
and eighteen hundred miles wide
half the size of the United States.
With a territory only half the size
of the United States it is really
marvelous when we consider the
density of its population. The
United States including the
ans has sixty three millions, while
India with less territory has two
hundred and eighty millions- Of
this number only four per cent can
read their own language. They
are like all human beings, so con-
that they must worship.
If they do not -worship the one
true God they must worship a God
even if it is one made of their own
hands.
The religions of this dark
country are the the Mo-
and Brahms. While
is a manifest difference in
their mode of worship, still they
worship and that with all their
power. The are better
known as fire Their
name tells us that they worship
fire- These number
about one hundred and twenty
millions and reside in Bombay and
on the Western slope of the
try. They believe that there is a
God, who created all things and
afterwards created two other Gods
the God of light and goodness,
and the God of darkness and evil.
They believe that when every-
thing is full of light and goodness
this God is in the but
when darkness and evil prevail
this God is in the In
fact these two Gods are constantly
at war. one with the other. To
carry into execution the works of
the different Gods human beings
are used as instruments. If a ship
goes to sea and has a safe and
pleasant voyage the God of good-
is in the If tins
voyage is with difficulty
and danger the God of darkness
is in the Whatever
is accompanied with goodness and
happiness is attributed to the reign-
power of this God. and every
pain, sorrow and disappointment is
attributed to the God of evil. It
is strange that in all
the happiness contemplated by
these fire the women
are entirely have no
hope of anything beyond this life.
The women are regarded as the
lowest and vilest of beings. She
is worse than a hewer of wood and
drawer of water.
As indicated these
ship fire. A fire is constantly
burning on an altar in the temple.
No one is allowed to approach this
fire except the priests and they
must first cover their mouth and
nose with a cloth for fear that tho
breath will contaminate the file.
They worship tho sun,
stars and sometimes trees.
As the sun is setting they may be
seen at the waters edge bowing and
praying to the sun as it sinks be-
hind the Western lull. They pray
after this manner. Thou that has
watched over us during tho day
please protect us during the dark
shades of the night- Send some
token of thy presence, if only a star
and let us know that thou art with
us. This prayer is offered with
much fervor and earnestness.
These have a peculiar
way of disposing of their dead.
A tower is erected in one corner of
a lot and on the top is a grate.
After death the body is borne by
four men on a bier to the foot of
the tower. Here the cloth that
covers the face is removed and a
white dog is permitted to look on
the face of the dead. This is a
token diseased is happy.
The face is again covered and four
other men bear the body up to the
grate where it is left. Soon as the
pall bearers descend or
buzzard alight and in a few mo-
the flesh is torn from the
bones and by these
buzzards, while the bones fall
through the grate to the bottom of
the tower. The only woman
is allowed to attend the is
the widow and she is only allowed
to follow so as to be cursed and
otherwise abused.
The reader no doubt thinks that
these are very ignorant.
This is a mistake. They are the
best educated people- A boy who
can't speak three languages is re-
as being very ignorant
If they are so very intelligent, why
are they not Christians. They
have the Bible and read it They
think Jesus was a most excellent
man and very good. But why are
they not Christians. The sad
story is told in their own words.
They say to yon, we have dealings
wit a your merchants and shippers
and if they are Christians we don't
want anything to do with Christi-
These men who hail
a Christian land live drunken,
licentious, profane lives and the
heathen looks at Christianity
through them and regard it a very
dangerous religion. It is a pain-
fact, these traders and nippers
from a Christian land are doing
more to becloud the heathen mind
than the missionaries can do
good If every one who profess-
ed Christianity possessed it and
lived up to its requirements;
poor India would be
captured for Christ within ten
years I What a lesson to all of us
in this Christian country The
unholy, profane lives of Christians,
strikes a fatal blow to Christianity.

Argus.
It is a waste of time and of a
very generous attribute of human
character, to lavish sympathy upon
the fools who buy bogus gold
bricks, or who are out of
their money by sharpers, or who are
tempted into the duns of the
or counterfeit money deal-
Such cases are reported
most every day in some of the
journals of the country, but the
victim is always a countryman, and
one whose habits of economy
prevent him from reading the daily
newspapers.
Now and then an old man in his
dotage, once possessing average
intelligence, may be taken in by
these criminals who simply play
for fools, but in other cases the
men who buy gold bricks at a
great bargain, or who undertake
to gamble with dealers, or
who dream of wealth by the
chase of counterfeit money, are
simply the idiots who think it but
waste of mo to inform them-
selves of the worlds doing by reg-
reading the newspapers.
No man who bus been a reader of
any sort of a newspaper, even the
most weekly, could be
of the fact t the men
who offer to t gold bricks at a
bargain, play tho game
or to sell counterfeit are
unmitigated scoundrel- and must
cheat somebody, and t at they
ways prefer to cheat a first hand.
The worst economy i the world
in this enlightened , is the fail-
to read regularly a daily news-
paper, if it is accessible ; if not. to
read the best weeklies that can be
obtained. There is not a man in
the country capable of reading
who does not lose ten times and
often a hundred times, and
a thousand times more
than the cost of a newspaper each
year, by the failure to inform
himself of what is going on around
him.
The time was when newspapers
were luxuries, but they are now
within the reach of every family in
the land. The daily newspaper is
as cheap to-day as the good week-
was twenty years ago. and the
home without a newspaper is the
place where all the adventurous
thieves of the land seek to ply
their vocation, and the victims of
such are not entitled to
sympathy, because their own in-
excusable ignorance and greed are
the sole causes of their misfortune.
DEATH OP JORDAN STONE.
Raleigh Chronicle.
The many friends of Jordan
Stone, who after a long connection
with the press in Nor Carolina
moved to California, will regret to
hear of his death, which occurred
at Los Angeles, California, on De-
26th.
Mr. Stone, who had been en-
gaged in publication of the
we believe, 1871
founded the News,
which Sam Williams was the
editor. After a journalistic
in this city of several years,
Mr. Stone in 1876 went b Ashe-
ville and in connection with Capt
M- Furman published the
Citizen, which soon be-
came a powerful journal, wielding
a potent influence across the
For many years Mr. Stone was
the Secretary of the North Caro-
Press Association, and h is
most kindly remembered by all of
the older members of the
Four years ago he was in-
to go to Los Angeles
some friends there and he soon es-
himself successfully in
business in that place. Although
of a naturally robust constitution,
he fell a victim to pneumonia, and
died at the age of about fifty-two.
Mr- Stone was a man of fine
character, with a pleasing address
and entirely devoted to his
He was held in high es-
teem and his death will be much
regretted.

RELIGIONS OF INDIA.
The Watch-Tower
The magnitude of India is not
known by the ordinary reader. It
is nineteen hundred miles long
and eighteen hundred miles wide-
half the size of the United States.
With a territory only half the size
of the United States it is really
marvelous when we consider the
density of its population. The
United States including the
ans has sixty three millions, while
India with less territory has two
hundred and eighty millions- Of
this only four per cent can
read their own language. They
are like all human beings, so con-
that they must worship.
If they do not worship the one
true God they must worship a God
even if it is one made of their own
hands.
The religions of this dark
country are the the Mo-
and Brahms. While
Hire is a manifest in
their mode of worship, still they
worship and that with all their
power. Tho are
known as fire worshipers. Their
name tells us that they worship
fire. These number
about one hundred and twenty-
millions and reside in Bombay and
on the Western slope of the
try. They believe that there is a
God, who created all things and
afterwards created two other Gods
the God of light and goodness,
and the God of darkness and evil.
They believe that when every-
thing is full of light goodness
this God is in the but
when darkness and evil prevail
this God is in the In
fact these two Gods are constantly
at war. one with the other. To
carry into execution the works of
the different Gods human beings
are used as instruments. If a ship
goes to sea and has a safe and
pleasant voyage the God of good-
is in the If the
voyage is with difficulty
and danger the God of
is in the Whatever
is accompanied with goodness and
happiness is attributed to the reign-
power of this God. mid every
pain, sorrow and disappointment is
attributed to the God of evil. It
is strange that in all
the happiness contemplated by
these fire the women
are entirely ignored -they have no
hope of anything beyond this life.
The women are regarded as the
lowest and vilest of beings. She
is worse than a hewer of wood and
drawer of water.
As indicated these
ship fire. A tire is constantly
burning on an altar in the temple-
No one is allowed to approach this
fire except the priests and they
must first cover their mouth and
nose with a cloth for fear that the
breath will contaminate the fire.
They worship the sun,
moon, stars and sometimes trees.
As the Sun is setting they may be
seen at the waters edge bowing and
praying to the sun as it sinks be-
hind the Western lull. They pray
after this manner. Thou that has
watched over us during tho day
please protect us during the dark
shades of the Send some
token of thy presence, if only a star
and let us know that thou art with
us. This prayer is offered with
much fervor and earnestness.
These have a peculiar
way of disposing of their dead.
A tower is erected in one corner of
a lot and on the top is a grate.
After death the body is borne by
four men on a bier to the foot of
the tower. Here the cloth that
covers the face is removed and a
white dog is permitted to look on
the face of the dead. This is a
token diseased is happy.
The face is again covered and four
other men bear the body up to the
grate where it is left- Soon as the
pall bearers descend or
buzzard alight and in a few
the flesh is torn from the
and by these
buzzards, while the bones fall
through the grate to the bottom of
the tower. The only woman
is allowed to attend the funeral is
the widow and she is only allowed
to follow so as to be cursed and
otherwise abused.
The reader no doubt thinks that
these are very ignorant.
This is a mistake- They are the
best educated people. A boy who
can't speak three languages is re-
as being very ignorant-
If they are so very intelligent, why
are they not Christians- They
have the Bible and read it- They
think Jesus was a most excellent
man and very good. But why are
they not Christians- The sad
story is told in their own words.
They say to you, we have dealings
with your merchants and shippers
and if they are Christians we don't
want anything to do with
These men who hail
a Christian land live drunken,
licentious, profane lives, and the
heathen looks at Christianity
through them and regard it a very
dangerous religion. It is a pain-
fact, these traders and shippers
a Christian last, are doing
more to becloud the heathen mind
than the missionaries can do
good If every one who profess-
ed Christianity it and
lived up to its requirements;

THEY DON'T READ NEWSPAPERS.
It is a waste of time and of a
very generous attribute of human
character, to lavish sympathy upon
the fools who buy bogus gold
bricks, or who are out of
their money by sharpers, or who are
tempted into the dens of the
or counterfeit money deal-
Such cases are reported
most every day in some of the
journals of the country, but the
victim is always a countryman, and
one whose habits of economy
prevent him from reading the daily
newspapers.
Now and then an old man in his
dotage, once possessing average
may betaken in by
these criminals who simply play
for fools, but in all other cases the
men who buy gold bricks at a
great bargain, or who undertake
to gamble with dealers, or
who dream of wealth by the
chase of counterfeit money, are
simply the idiots who think it but
waste of money to inform them-
selves of the worlds doing by reg-
reading the newspapers.
No man who has been a reader of
any sort of a newspaper, even the
most obscure weekly, could be
of the fact that the men
who offer to sell gold at a
bargain, to play tho game
or to sell counterfeit money, are
unmitigated scoundrels and must
cheat somebody, and that they
ways prefer to cheat at first hand.
The worst economy in the world
this enlightened age, is the fail-
to read regularly a daily news-
paper, if it is accessible ; if not, to
read the best weeklies that can be
obtained. There is not a man in
the country capable of reading
who does not lose ten times and
often a hundred times, and
a thousand times more
than the cost of a newspaper each
year, by the failure to inform
himself of what is going on around
him.
The time was when newspapers
were luxuries, but they are now
within the reach of every family in
the land. The daily newspaper is
as cheap to-day as the good week-
was twenty years ago, and the
home without a newspaper is the
place where all the adventurous
thieves of the land seek to ply
their vocation, and the victims of
such are not entitled to
sympathy, because their own in-
excusable ignorance and greed are
the sole causes of their misfortune.
