The State fair Secretary sent such an invi- fation to President McKinley, and now the Winston Tobacco Pair Association has sent an in- vitation to New York to Miss Cisneros, the Cuban girl who recently escaped from prison in Havana, to come to the tobacco fair in Winston next month. ial ieee ai adall The Salisbury Sun says that Miss Mamie Owen, a young lady of that town, received a letter from an old lady in Califorpia informing her that the latter had made a will and remembered her to the amount of $30,000. The cause of this gift in her will was that while both of them, then strangers to each other, were in Wasbington City in 1892, Miss Owens saved the old lady’s life by getting her out of the way of an approaching street car that would have run over her. They immediately became friends and a correspondence has since been kept up between them. a Florida Orange Crop, If the owners of the Florida orange groves had given careful attention to their groves immedi ately after the freeze, instead of neglecting them, asa large pro- portion of them did, the orange crop this year would be some- thing like 1,000,000 boxes, instead of 250,000, as it is estimated it will be. Of this 250,000 boxes about 200,000 will be marketed outside of tue State. Withia about four years, if nothing occurs to give the groves a setback, the orange production will be as great as it was before the freeze—about 5,-}, 000,000 boxes. {t is estimated that fully 10 per cent of the groves injured by the frost were abandoned, but many new groves have been set out in that section of the Siate which was not notico- ably hurt by thefreeze. It would fot be at all turpnsing if ten years hence Florida should be producing 10,000,000 boxes of Oranges a year.—Savanna Nows. /Onaries Broadway Rouss after one week's treatment by Dr. Guelph Norman, who camé from Tndia specially to cure Mr, Rouss of blindness, is able to see dimly at a distance of 16 inches.

Surgeon Major Semple; Assistant Professor ot Pathology at the British Army Medical Schoo] at Netley, is using the serum at Maid- stone with encouraging results. The vaccine is said to produce only some slight local soreness and a few hours of discomfort. A serum for the actual cure of con- sumption is also heralded; but this report is neither so authentic in its source nor so credible in itself. A New York physician, it is asterted, has treated six tuberculosis patients with Professor Maragliano’s serum with marked improvement in each case. Even quick consumption is said to have been checked. Theserum which is administered hypodermically in doses ot a cubic centimetre, is obtained fiom inoculated horse blood, Astor yellow fever, Sanarelli, the discoverer ot the yellow fever bacillus (the icteroid), is reportedto have de. clared that he has obtained a serum which will render that terrible tropical scourge harmless.

Andit behooves every one to do his best to pay all his accounts as promptly as possible ; for many debts are sometimes se.tied by the first man’s payment. A owes Band B owes © and C owes D, &c. Now if A will strain a point today and pay B, and all along the line will do likewise, the man farthest off from A will get the money for what the man next aboye him owes, and then the money can start back to A acaln. A man is seldom justified in carrying money 10 his pccket long at a time if he owes any one. One payment makes a hundred.—Scotland Neck Com- monwealth.

Z ' | meee oe te aa bi : 4 the rapid destruction a 55 ae On account of ‘ot our American forest tracts there is some likelihood that Congress at its: approaching session in December will be called upon to adopt stringent measures looking toward the preven- tion of this evil, Much depends upon the maintenance ot cur forest areas. Science has long since proved that cyclones are due in large measure to the existence of vast denuded tracts of Jand which offer no resistance to the storm’s career. Un- doubtedly it 18 also true that the yearly overflows of the Mississippi river are due to some extent at least to the de- vastation which is steadily going on about the sources of its tributary streaurs. Some two or three weeks ago the national irrigation Congress, which met at Lincoln, Neb,, adopted resolutions calling attention to the vrgent need of etringent regulations for preserving our forest tracts. In European countries tne deepest solici- tude is felt on the part of the govern- ment in the preservation of forest lands. Severe penalties are inflicted upon all who are guilty of carelessness. in ex- posing forest lands to firs, and special wardens are employed by the govern- nent to see that the forest laws are rigidly enforced. Something like this must be resorted to in this country if our vast forest areas are preserved, and the national calamities which flow from their heedless destruction are averted, The matter is one which demands the serious attention of our law-makers.— Atlanta Constitutzon. The Democrats of North Caro- lina must be made to realize that if they lose the State again next year and the Republicans carry the country again in 1900, there will be ten negro office holders in this State where there is one sy now. The negros of North Caro- lina cast about three fourths of the Republican vote of the State, and whatever they may have done heretofore, they are now beginning to properly estimate their power, and, with continued Republican success, will make demands of their white leaders to which the iatter will be con- pelled to yield.—Wilmington Star- eo ——— Every yoar commercial fertil- izers take millions of dollars out of the State. It is estimated that the farmers of this State have alreadz bought 213,000 tons of guano this year, against 187,000 last year, an increase of 26,000 tons. At the prevailing price this will drain the State of four million dollars this year. Is not there some way of making here at home a fertilizer that will take the place of the expensive guano that weimport? It is a constant drain on the tarmers to pay for the fertilizers they use.—Char- lotte News. Arabian Horses In Battle. Arabian horses manifest remark- able courage in battle. It is said that when a horse of. this breed finds himself wounded and perceives that he will not be able to bear his rider much longer he quickly re- tires from the conflict, bearing his master to a place of safety while he has still sufficient strength. But if, on the other hand, the rider is wounded and falls to the ground him, unmindful of danger, neighing until assistance is brought. Kreaa and Old Age. Siv Isaac Holden, the millionaire member of parliament from York- shire, now nearly 90 years old, be- lieves with John Wesley that phos- phates of lime, in which flour is so rich, are good for growing children, young people, young mothers, but shorten the life of the elderly, by making bones dense and weighty muscles rigid, “‘furring”’ the large blood vessels like an old boiler and “choking the capillary arteries.”’ So he eats hardly any bread, his fa- vorite food being oranges, bananas and meat. When he eats the latter, he eats nothing else.

Now, there was old Jchn S. I'l] not give his full name because the old man still lives out somewhere near Kiowa, and if he was to get in print az anoted liar he might get hot. When I read an account of Speaker Bill Street’s speech up in Jewell county at an old settlers’ picnic, where he said that he had stood ona knoll and seen a dense, moving herd of buffalo as far as the eye could John to mind. “When I first struck the short grass country, old John was there. He got me cornered one day and was so tickled to get a fresh victim that he hardly stopped even to take a drink until he had stuffed me go full that I was partially paralyzed for a month afterward. He gave me to understand that for years before he camo to Kansas he was one of the most dreaded desperadoes and In- dian killers that ever roamed through the Rocky mountains. 1 iearned afterward that he wouldn’t fight a cat and actually trembled with fear whenever his hatchet faced wife turned loose on him with her tongue, but when I first met him his bloodthirsty talk fairly made my blood run cold. ‘‘He informed me that he was known far and wide through the mountains as ‘Tiger Jack, the terror of the Rockies,’ but I was going to speak of his buffalo story. I asked him one day, just to bring him out, if he ever got into any tight places when he was hunting buffalo. . ‘Oh, I’ve been in places that I suppose most fellers would call ticklich,’ he replied, ‘but never any place that rattled Tiger Jack but once, and that time I own I was a little wor- ried. ‘‘‘T was huntin buffalo down the Medicine valley along in 1870. The country was just alive with the crit- ters, and I was knockin ‘em right and left, when all at once somethin started a stampede, and 3,000,000 or 4,000,000 buffalo came rushin down the valley, just makin the ground shake as they come. I seen at once thatI would have to get out of there or be run over, but my pony was all fagged out, and the herd kept gain- in on him at every jump. I saw that them buffalo was goin to run that pony down and that something had to be done and done quick. Well, sir, Iseen that there was just one thing to do. I waited till the head buffalo was right on my pony’s landed right on that buffalo’s hump. ‘Then, sir, I just went jumpin from the back of one buffalo to an- other an shootin as I went—thought, maybe, you know, that I could scat- ter the herd and get a chance to get down on the ground. Well, sir, when I struck the rear end of that stampede I was only a mile from home.
