WHEN GIRLS SHOULD MARRY.

suitable age for young people to
marry. Mrs. Harriett Prescott
in the Boston Journal,
gives her views, as follows, in re-
to

Some girls there may be, of rare j

upon their young shoulders the
responsibility a house, its work
or the direction of those who do
its work, the oversight of a
band's the bearing and
nursing of children, physical

and the daily direction of
their moral and mental education,
together with all the other indoor
and outdoor cares incidental to
the position of one who is in the
head of a family and who has hap-
of a home and a husband
on her heart and conscience- But
these cases are few- and exception
and the great multitude of girls
under twenty are not equal to such
a strain upon nerve and muscle
without arrest of development.
A few years later they may

children; they may feel some re-
toward those who laid up
on them a burden greater than
children should bear.
Before twenty a girl has hardly
had the chance to receive the com-
instruction from text hooks
to which she has a right, to say
nothing of the domestic education
of the the needle, the sick
room ; she has bad little chance to
learn anything of the world of
man nature ; she has lived more
with dreams and ideals than with
realities. She may make a charm-
in wife at first, and a tender

and solicitude taking the place of

HUMANE EDUCATION NEEDED.
This striking headline must meet
the approbation of every
can citizen. We need to be taught
humane education. Our country
is sadly in want of proper training
in Immune affairs. No nation in
the world needs it worse
ours. animals and insects,
alike, receive the same inhuman
treatment at our hands. The
noble is maltreated, kicked
and cuffed around as though he
wood the ox is beaten and
bruised and often poorly fed.
The dog, even, comes in for his
share of the cuffs. The most con-
Christian in the land
takes the life of a helpless
without a thought or a care-
It is truly singular in his
era of Christian piety and in-
development, that such
should be the case. It has often
our lot to watch with sorrow-
some apparently well-meaning in-
take the life of a worm, a
bug or a spider, which perchance
crossed his path on his daily round
in quest of food- The cruel, heart-
less heel crushes life from it help-
less creature, robbing it of the
sweetest thing in its existence.
The sportsman, with gun in hand,
thinks of the life he is rob-
bing, so his pleasures are full.
He ruthlessly robs his prey of its
life, caring nothing for the puny
carcass. The same may be said of
various sports where the life and
of animals are at stake. It
is indeed time our people were
calling a halt in their inhuman
course toward the lower animals.
We need more stringent laws for
the prevention of cruelty to
but above all things, we need
human education to such a degree
that we should be loath to take
unnecessarily the life of the mean-
est of God's creation- The sooner
this is done the nearer we will be-
come perfect men and women-
Let each one examine himself
closer in his treatment of the dumb
brute and learn to have more com-
passion for creatures. Make
mane education a study and bet
the world thereby.
He Defied Sheriff, and Drove Judge
Bynum From the Bench.
Salisbury Herald.
The Mountain Home
Journal reports that a most dis
graceful and daring occurrence
took place at Yancey
county, last week, and says the
facts are these One of the best
citizens of that county. Solomon
Carter, had died very suddenly,
and was buried. Garret D.
Bay, another leading citizen of the
same town, had not lived on good
terms with Mr- Carter during the
latter's lifetime, but as death had
removed one of the two, Mr. Ray
thought he would aid in paying
the last tribute to his departed
neighbor and attended the burial.
This so enraged the son of Mr-
Ray that he shot at his father
several times, whereupon Judge
Bynum ordered the arrest of
young Ray. He defied the sheriff,
but walked into the court house
and with his shot
gun drove the judge from the
bench, cleared out the assembly
and deliberately walked off.

AN OCEAN BURIAL.
I have just seen an ocean burial-
Just now a body has disappeared
beneath the waves, to be one of
the great multitude that shall come
forth when sea gives up its
dead. It was an old man, a steer-
age passenger, far gone with heart
disease when he came on board.
He was alone, and nobody knew
him. Probably he understood that
he could not live long. But his
thoughts perhaps went back to the
old churchyard of his fathers, and
be tried to hold out until he could
be laid to rest by the graves of his
kindred.
But the summons came in mid
ocean. A priest jabbered
a few Latin prayers over the life-
less remains, and scattered drops
of water or oil upon the coarse
sack that covered em- The great
panting engine, tuning endlessly
at its mighty wheel, at a given
stopped its labor for a moment.
A British flag was quickly drawn
off the extemporized bier, the
end of the board was lifted to a
high and the poor, limp clay
slipped off and shot swiftly down
to its ocean bed. And then as the
engine started again, the hundreds
who had looked on went back to
their rending, their chat, their
games and laughter, which closed
over the solemn scene as the waves
closed over the body, and almost
as quickly. Scarce a memory of it
is left behind.
Well, perhaps it is better so.

The address prepared by the
committee which was appointed in
October by the Democratic
Committee of the State has
been issued. The committee was
composed of five members of the
Alliance and five not members of
the order. It is a document well
worth the careful perusal of every
Democratic voter of the State. It
is certainly along the right- It con-
harsh criticism of each
on account of differences of
ion in reference to the means to be
employed to accomplish common
ends. It strongly advocates re-
form in the financial system of the
country, a reduction in the
high tariff under which we
are laboring, the increase of the
volume of currency, and a decided
opposition to the enactment of the
Force If it will
cure entire harmony in the party
which is so desired at the
present It entirely demolishes the
idea that a third party is even de-
now, much less a necessity.
It is a wise document and be
published in full in next week's Re-
OR.
THE CONFERENCE.
Our last issue came out so soon
after the adjournment of the Con-
that we did not have time
to say some things in reference to
it which we desired. We propose
now to give some impressions of
this body formed by attending most
of its sessions.
The first thing that impressed us
was that it was no small body.
There were not less than
gates here during its session. From
year to year it has grown and now
ranks as one the
assemblies of the State.
The second impression is that it
is composed of a highly intellect
membership. There was not
much discussion upon the various
objects and no great speeches made
but no one came in contact
with the men failed to be
with the fact that he was in the
presence of men of superior
attainments. In former
years this fact was not attributed
to this denomination by those who
were not members of it- Now it is
pretty generally that
the ministry of the com-
pares favorably with any other.
The third thing noticeable is the
zeal and even enthusiasm which
characterizes the entire body. It
is wonderful to see how each min-
and layman seems to have
his whole soul in the work. We
have rarely seen a more zealous
and energetic band of men than
those who compose the North Car-
Conference.
The next prominent feature ob-
is the systematic method
of distributing the work and the
admirable means used in
the desired end. As the
various reports were made from
the varied fields one could not help
from realizing the fact that the
work had been planned and
faithfully executed. Another
noticeable is the interest they are
taking in controlling schools and
in consequence and
propagating an active educational
spirit among their people. Nearly
every year marks the passage. of
some school to the control of the
Conference and in these there
seems to an awakening interest
educationally, commensurate with
the general advancement along
this line both in State and Nation.
The next thing that impressed
us was the consecrated spirit in
body, -means, mind and heart
which marked so strikingly the en-
tire membership of the body.
There seemed to but one single
object to the glory of
God and the-salvation of sinners,
and the whole Conference was a
unit upon this. The general bear-
and of every min
and while among us
pointed strongly and forcibly to
this lover of good
morals, and of souls, every
lover of Christian civilization and
Christian salvation must say
speed to this noble body. It
is a blessing to any community to
have the Conference hold its
them, and we are
glad that it hits been with us.
ARTILLERY SHOTS.
ACQUITTED.
who was tried
Fayetteville for the murder of his
uncle. Simon has been ac-
Many witnesses of high
character were examined and the
evidence which was almost entire-
circumstantial, was seemingly
as strong as it could have been
made that he was the perpetrator
of the cold blooded crime, and yet
he has been released. This and
the trial of the Mote brothers some
few weeks ago. have been two of the
most noted trials in the history of
North Carolina. Able counsel did
able work on both sides. It is to
hoped that the verdicts were
righteous ones, but they have
failed in a large measure to
satisfy the minds of the jury of
North Carolina readers who have
carefully perused even- scintilla
of evidence adduced. We fear
that both have weak-
the confidence which should
never be shaken, in the safe
bulwark of trial by a jury. The
innocent ought not to be punish-
ed, but the guilty must not be
allowed to go free.
PETITION TO SUB-ALLIANCES.
A petition is being circulated
among some of the sub-Alliances of
the State asking the members to
sign it pledging themselves to vote
the Third Party ticket in 1892- This
is without the knowledge of the
State Alliance, as Secretary Barnes
says that he has not seen it and
knows nothing about it. It is
a radical trick to split the
Democratic party in North Caro-
so that her electoral vote may
cast for Harrison. They would
give any amount of money to get
the electoral vote of one Southern
State. We have too much faith in
the men who compose the Alliance
of this State to believe that they
will be duped by any such method
as this which is now being made to
entrap them- We have said before
and we repeat it that the demands
of the Alliance and the Democratic
party in this State are identical in
substance and there is no need for,
nor will there be a third party in
North Carolina.
REPUBLICAN VOTE
SPEAKERSHIP.
There has been a lively contest
for Speaker of the present House
of Five
dates are in the field. The Demo-
caucus met last Saturday to
select the candidates. There were
ballots taken with no result and
but little change- Crisp receiving
votes. Mills Springer
Hatch Stephens
necessary to a choice The
Caucus adjourned until o'clock
Monday and the balloting was still
going on Monday night. The hist
ballot from which we heard Crisp
had reached and Mills
We learned by wire at
day afternoon that Crisp was
on thirtieth ballot .
The Republicans in the House
of Representatives cast their vote
for Ex-Speaker Reid. It is
they thought he deserved this
complimentary vote as a
for his services to them in
their better days when he always
ruled in their favor regardless of
precedent or law. He will doubt-
less have a lively time in his
of in reference
to the rulings of the this
session, because they are not in
unison with his as a precedent.
CONGRESS MEETS.
Congress met on Monday the
7th hist. The President's message
was sent in to the body on Tues-
day. We will have something to
say in reference to it in our next is-
sue. We venture the assertion that
with a Democratic House this Con-
will not leave the record that
will entitle it to the name of the
body. There is
much sorely needed legislation and
we trust that much of it may come
at this session of Congress.

Another Thanksgiving day has
passed, although cold and
the prepared
by the enlisted men was carried
out It being a national holiday
all duties were suspended for the
day, except the necessary guard
mounting. A game of base ball
between the Indian team at the
Normal school and the Fort boys
was the most important feature of
the day. The Indians have a strong
team and our boys realized that
there was hard work them
if they came out victorious. At
our boys took the field ; c,

Our team would have been a strong-
one but military duties prevent-
ed three of its best players from
participating in the game. Privates
and Dancy.
Although the Indians played well,
they were no match for the Fort
boys. The Fort team won by a
score of eight to three.
It is the custom of the different
Batteries here on all national
days to have a sumptuous
and on Thanksgiving day the
could often be who will
have the best dinner Each bat-
tery striving to outdo all others in
this respect It is conceded by all
in the garrison that Battery H, as
it always, does headed the list It
would have been a great surprise
to many of those shallow minded
people who believe all soldiers are
slaves and criminals, to have seen
the bill of fare of Battery H on that
day. For slaves and criminals are
not feasted as we were and are

el were conducted by the Post

were largely attended by the en-
listed men.

and we give them a hearty

On Wednesday last the training

The snow fall on Sunday the 29th
November, was the greatest seen
here for several years.
Private Pippin who has been vis-
his relatives and friends at his
old home has returned to the Post
and assumed his duties. Judging
from the smile he wears, he heard
something very pleasant while
there.
The disagreeable weather for the
past week caused the suspension
of all military duty except the
guard duty and the boys are
plenty of leisure hours. They
amuse themselves by reading and
the different games. The

No step of enterprise that the Re-

so many compliments the
issued during the N. C Conference.
From all aides words of praise, have
been spoken. The members of the
Conference, besides many of them
individually expressing their

of thanks and good wishes;
many of th brethren of the press
have made kind reference to it;
away, some even strangers to us,
have written congratulatory letters;
and the borne folks have been out-
spoken in their praise of the little
sheet. All these evidences of
are exceedingly gratifying to
us. We wanted to give such a Daily

Alliance Speaking.

the Alliance, and Mr. Bell, State
Lecturer, made speeches in Green-

and the number heard them was
not so large as it otherwise would
have been. Both these gentlemen
made exceedingly conservative
speeches, giving utterance to
that could be construed to tend
to disrupting any party ties or breed
dissensions between any classes.
They were harmony good
will all through. The
present heard them gladly, and those
not members of the order could
readily endorse what was said. When
they had finished calls were made
for Col. Skinner, and he also made a

A Mean Act.
There is some meanness going on in
the land yet. Last Thursday night
Mr. W. M. Brown and wife went to
Mr. Leonidas Fleming's, father of Mrs
Brown, about two miles from where
they lived. Some one who it is sup-
posed wished lo injure Mr. Brown,
tore up a bridge over which he would
have to pass on the way back borne.
Fortunately they did not return
home that night. Mr. W. J. Flem-
who was also at Mr. Leonidas
Fleming's, was returning home on
foot about bed time and found the
bridge torn up.
