statesmen, the candidates, and
the local politicians.
Charles Price is the present Re
publican District Attorney. It is
admitted, even by bis political op-
that he has made an
attorney, and he is reckoned
man of good ability and he has
been in bis prosecutions.
This is from the
fact that the district is considered
as one of tho most difficult of the
internal revenue districts to

it is generally remarked that he

met. Tho ability of Mr. Elias is
conceded, and ho is always

Mr- Glenn's friends do not see
how he can be turned down after
the magnificent campaign he made
for Cleveland and Stevenson, and
yet they cannot tell at present
just what his chances are.
A SPECIAL FRIEND-
The appointment of Mr. Joseph
S. Miller, of West Virginia, to
the of internal
revenue appears to be most
to the friends of Mr.
Kerr Craige, of Salisbury, N. C-,
for they regard tho West Virgin-
a friend of the North
Carolinian just mentioned. Mr.
Craige was the Collector of Inter-
Revenue for his district under
the former Cleveland
but served only about two
years, and this fact, his barkers
declare, does not exclude him, for
under the much-talked-up
rule his case, they say, would
prove an exception. Mr. Craige
was considered one of the best
collectors in the United States,
and it is well known in Washing-
ton that Mr. Miller has a high
opinion of him. It is also con-
ceded that he is popular in West-
North Carolina; and the let-
received by Senators Ran-
and Vance and
Henderson in his favor are
claimed as evidences of his pop-
and that he would be ac-
to the people at large.
But there are ever so many other
good people in the Western Dis-
whose friends are pushing
their claims for the
Some have put their papers reg-
on file and others are
ply being talked up in a way that
means business if a good
offers. There is the Hon.
M- H- Pinnix, of Lexington. Like
Mr. Craige, ho has been a loyal
Cleveland man, a latter
day convert, but a Cleveland man
away back in 1884, when the New
Yorker was first put on the
political turf. Mr- Pinnix
is a strong and able man and is
ranked as one of the best and
most reliable Democratic workers
in Western North Carolina.
Then there is Colonel Paul B.
Means, of Concord. Just now he
reported to be somewhat inter-
in the appointment of
Miss Mary to the
Concord but he
is also a candidate for Collector.
He has served continuously for
twenty years on the Democratic
committee of the State, and it is
related of him that not in all that
time has he missed a meeting of
the committee. Colonel Means
was a devoted follower of the for-
tunes of Mr. Cleveland at Chicago
last year, and at the convention
there he was an alternate delegate
casting a third of a vote for the
present occupant of the White
House-
OTHER
Catawba, which was formerly
the banner Democratic county of
North Carolina, has two
dates for the Ca-
lost the banner at the No-
election of 1892 because
it was headquarters of the
combination, but the rolled
up majority, any way. Tho
two candidates from the county
are gentlemen of fine executive
ability, very popular, and they
have strong endorsements. They
are Mr. J- G- Hall, of Hickory,
president of a wagon company
and Mr. W. H. Williams, of New
ton. Both are active, working
Democrats, and it is said that
either one would make a good
collector.
Mr. John L- Scales, of Slates-
ville, is a much younger man than
of the others mentioned for
the but he is what
they call in that portion of
old Commonwealth a stalwart
Democrat, always working for the
party. He is also a fine business
man.
Iredell county has still another
the person of Mr.
John A. Cooper, president of the
First National Bank of States-
He is popular and has
heavy endorsements. He is a
staunch Democrat and has never
wavered in the faith, not even
when numbers of his family wan-
off into the
party.
name of Theodore F.
of Salisbury, must not be
omitted, for he has frequently
been mentioned for the collector-
ship, is an active Democratic
worker and a splendid stump
speaker, much liked at home and
abroad ; but he announced him-
self as being a possible candidate
only after it had been thought
that Mr. Craige had been bailed
out under the rule.
HOW IT WOULD OPERATE.
This is all to a w-
conviction here that Mr. H.
A. Gudger, of Asheville, who is
one of the strongest candidates for
the will be ruled
out in the event of the appoint-
of Mr. Elias as Dis-
Attorney- They are from
tho same end of the district, and
one or other, it is claimed,
will be on account of
location. Senator
Vance is strongly Mr.
Gudger and is opposed to Mr-
Elias-
Then, again, in the eastern end
of the Winston and
are several can-
who will become active

fail to secure the

president pro tampon of the
State Senate, is also mentioned
now in connection with the col-
All the gentlemen mentioned are
recognized as Democrats of excel-
lent standing, character, and
and they are all popular
their section of the State.
One fact has been established
thoroughly since the contest for
the North Carolina officers com-
and that is if Mr.
Elias does not succeed in his
efforts to become the District At-
ho has at least puzzled the
senators, representatives,
people generally.
Mr. Price, the present
can attorney for the district, has
not yet given the slightest
of any intention on his part
of resigning the office, but the
talk is that a Republican of his
ability and character ought to be
willing to tender his resignation
to President at an early day
just for the fun of finding out
speedily who will be his Demo-
successor.
THE EASTERN DISTRICT.
It is plain sailing in tho East-
District of North Carolina,
and, as announced some ago
in the Dispatch correspondence,
the slate in that district has
been agreed upon, and
the only thing they are waiting
for is for Mr. Cleveland to give
the order. The slate is
District Attorney, Mi. C- B.
Aycock, of Goldsboro.
Collector of Internal Revenue,
Hon. F- M. Simmons, of New-
born, ex-member of Congress and
chairman of the State Democratic
Committee.
Marshal, Mr. O- J. Carroll, of
Clinton.
The latter is the special
date of the commercial
and his selection will be a com-
to that intelligent and in-
class of citizens.
Before Mr. Simmons gave his
consent to the use of his name
there were about twenty-five can-
for the in
the Eastern District.
Only forty-one foreign missions
are at the disposal of the
dent and there are
States in the Union. That
accounts for unwilling-
of Mr. Cleveland to give any
more missions to North Carolina,
and in all likelihood one will be
the limit for Virginia also.
Strenuous efforts are being made,
however, to get a second mission
credited to North Carolina, and it
is for a man, Rev.
who was a long time ago
Minister to Liberia, and wants to
go back there. He is said to
have the backing of the Afro-
American Society, and at one
time they were making a
impression on the
dent. It turns out, though, that
in the last campaign the Rev.
was a Third-party man,
and this fact is to have
ruined whatever chances he may
have had.
A CONSULSHIP.
Representative Henderson
Senator Ransom are active in
their efforts to secure a good con-
for Major William M.
of North Carolina, and
will not relax until he is provided
for. The President has
promised the ex Congress
man a place in the service, but
has not designated the place- It
is said that Major Robbins would
like either Montreal or Havana.
Other North Carolinians, who are
being vigorously pressed by their
friends for consular positions,
are Mr. Thomas R- of
Raleigh, formerly Consul at
Japan; Mr. W. R.
Henry ; Mr. Hale, of Fayetteville,
former Consul at Manchester ;
Mr. Pendleton King, of Guilford
county, former secretary of the
American Legation at
and Mr. J. G. Martin, of
Asheville, who would like to be
appointed Consul at
Japan. It will readily be con-
ceded that all of these gentlemen
cannot appointed- It is more
patronage of the kind than can
reasonably be awarded North
Carolina.
RIVALRY.
There is so much rivalry over
the at Thomas
ville, N. C that the appointment
has been delayed. Tho time of
the Republican incumbent ex-
on tho 9th of April. The
office is now held by Miss Mary
Cecil. Representative
son is anxious for the Democratic
patrons to come to an agreement,
as it would expedite matters very
much. Mr. Henderson has had
changes made in nearly all of the
fourth-class offices in his district
where changes are to be made.
There are offices of this class
in district, but only about
changes were as Demo-
and unobjectionable people
were serving.
PIPES TENNYSON SMOKED.
The Common Ones of Irish Clay Suited
the Great Poet Best.
The love that the late Lord Ten-
bore for the gentle weed is
now almost proverbial. Like
many other great thinkers and
writers of this and previous ages,
pipe was bis companion-
An invitation from the poet to
smoke with him in his sanctum
was seal of a bond c friendship.
On these occasions he was seen at
his Ix-st. He unbent, and even
told stories against himself- Yet
sometimes he remained in a
mood, scarcely uttering a
word. It is the old story of the
night that Carlyle Tennyson
once spent together. They both
sat over the fire in Carlyle's house
at row, Chelsea, with their
pipes, but never said a word until
the poet rose to go, when Carlyle

Tho Irish clay pipe was
son's favorite. The more
ones he used wore gifts, and
only used because they were gifts.
The heavy heel and large bowl

ample proportions in this
are the only distinguished
features of bis clay pipes. There
was usually a large basket of these
at times as many
as two on the study

bard had once used a pipe it was
placed on the fender near the fire
for another burning time. There
was, in fact, delightful untidiness
about the pipes had been
laid down carelessly almost every-
where, the hard oak cabinet by
the fireplace being apparently only

This inveterate smoker used

times he indulged in something
very much stronger. He smoked

Walter Raleigh thus recommend-

JIM.
No one at the station knew
where Jim came from. He
pen red one day at the gloomy lit-,
tie mining camp and took bis
place among the other miners.
The miners had not known him
long before they began to
that he was not a safe man to
arouse. the bully of
the camp, called him a
one day, and before the big
fellow had time to think, he
on his back with Jim holding him
down, and the bully knew by the
dangerous glitter of those flashing
eyes above him that it was best
for him to apologize.
From that time no one molested
Jim. He drank more liquor and
swore more terrible oaths than
man at the station, and yet there
was something beneath it all that
in the eyes of those rough fellows
marked him as a gentleman. Lit-
by little Jim won the
of that lawless crowd, but
no one ever won his confidence.
One day, about two years after
Jim's arrival at the station, a pro-
gambler came to the
town. Gamblers were no novelty
in any of the mining towns, so
this new comer would have
no comment had he not
brought with him a woman, his
wife, he said. Women were
seen at the station, at least,
women of this type. She was
a lady, that was evident. She
was tall and slender and had once
been beautiful, too, if the boys
were any judge of beauty; but
now she was poorly clothed, was
very pale, and always had a kind
of frightened look when her
band was near.
The boys noticed that about the
time the gambler and his wife came
to the station Jim began to act
very strangely. He did not join
them in their evening carousals,
but kept by himself nights
and worked harder days.
One night when the boys were
all playing cards, Jim came in. He
did not take a hand in the game,
but sat back in in the shadow look-
on. The was losing,
and losing fast, too. as he
might luck was against him.
Suddenly the gambler's wife en-
the room. She walked to-
ward her husband and said some-
thing to him. The brute was mad-
by his losses, and with an
he pushed her aside. In an
instant Jim sprang forward shout-
strike her, you

a report, and the gambler lay on
the floor.
There was nothing to be done.
It was a clear case of murder, and
yet there was not a jury in the
State that would not have acquit-
Jim if he had only made any
He refused to say a word
for himself, and so of course the
court had to duty. The sher-
tried to have him escape, but
he would not do it. The boys
tried to make him save himself,
but he only smiled sadly and shook
his head.
The story of the case was told in
the newspapers, and was copied
all over the country. It was not
long before the sheriff received a
strange letter from a little town in
Massachusetts. It was from an
old lady, and this was the

Jim was lying on his bed when
the sheriff entered the cell. The
jail at the station was simply one
room heated by a stove and
barred windows. Jim was
lowed all the privileges of tho
building. As the sheriff entered
Jim did not move. The sheriff
spoke to him; he looked up. He
showed no interest when the sher-

wrote the old lady that while he
did not think the prisoner was
her son, yet it might be well for
her to come on and see for herself.
The news of her coming was kept
from Jim, for the sheriff meant to
surprise him.
About two weeks after the
sheriff wrote, a woman got out of
the stage at the station. She was
a nice looking old lady, even if
she was very timid and worried.
She inquired for the jail, and the
boys all tried to help carry her
baggage. They all knew she was
expected, and were all eager to
find out if she was Jim's mother.
The sheriff tried to have her
rest eat something before she
saw Jim but she wouldn't wait;
she insisted on seeing him at once.
So the sheriff led the way to Jim's
cell and all the boys stood around
the building waiting for news. As

A Samoan Tea.
A woman recently homo from
Samoa tells of teas in that South
Sea island, The Samoan tea is
quite like any other tea so far as it
is an informal festivity to promote
sociability over a sip or something.
The peculiar cordial brewed by the
native women is usually
offered, drunk out of a
cocoa shell beautifully polished.
At the King's picnics, of
which the monarch is very fond,
it is imperative to drain

is very exhilarating, this, in the
case of weak-minded visiting
men, is sometimes disastrous. J

as Many Suppose.
Did you ever see a toad catch
and eat his supper That has been
my good fortune, and it was a
revelation. I was setting one
evening in my back yarn con-
smoking and looking with
pride at a small garden patch
where I bad spent many hours on
various vines and plants that were
now rewarding me with a vigorous
growth. That garden was the
home resort of many toads, and
we had become well acquainted
with each other, although I
thought them rather a stupid lot
It was comical, however, when I
accidentally disturbed one among
the leaves or hauled out of
the soft earth, where ho was rest-

himself out to tho point of burst-

eyes at me with an expression of
sleepy reproach.
I think they soon became ac-
custom to my presence, and
would only one or two hops

I had about finished my pipe
when I observed one of toads
coming toward me along path
that led to the garden. He was
as usual quite deliberative in his
movements. A hop, a long wait,
and then another hop. As he came
near my seat he me solemnly

For many years doctors and
hygienists have had much to say
on the subject of no food just be-
fore bedtime. A number of
persons have experimented
in this line, and have satisfied
themselves and their immediate
associates that there is a good deal
of nonsense in this kind of talk.
All brain-workers especially find
that if go to bed in any de-
hungry it often means a
sleepless night and a weary
dragged-out feeling next morning;
fortunate indeed are they if they
escape a headache.
There is in the minds of many
persons no clear-cut line of de-
between gorging and
abstinence. If these people cannot
eat a hearty meal, indulging in
salads and heavy foods, they seem
to think that they must take
at all. and indeed they are
bettor it they do not take such
hearty food, but this by no means
indicates that they must go to bed
hungry. One of the best evening
dishes is wafers made of sifted
graham flour and a ripe apple.

Spring Wraps.
The first wraps for early Spring
are already shown. They present
no striking changes, except in
length. They are considerably
shorter than the wraps worn last
season, twenty-eight inches being
the average length. The huge
sleeves of the present fashions
make the a very convenient
garment; and while many
are shown for Spring with large
sleeves to accommodate the huge
dress sleeves, it is anticipated that
capes will continue to be popular.
The most successful shape is the
round military cape, which is cut
very full and is usually composed
of a succession of two or three
capes, one above the other, with a
collar at the throat.
These capes are sometimes made
of different shades of cloth, or they
may be trimmed with successive
rows of braid, laid together.

stylish umbrella skirt, which in

THE NAVAL RENDEZVOUS.
Va., April
Ed. writer had
the pleasure of witnessing the
naval review in Hampton Roads
and also of personally visiting
and inspecting several of the
cruisers of different nations, in-
the Philadelphia of our
navy, the Blake of the British
navy and the General Admiral of
the Russian navy and others.
These were the leading ships of
the fleet the being the
largest and best equipped in the
Roads, though several of the
others came in as close second.
The, Admiral's protected room on
the Blake is a marvel of com-
having in a condensed
form complete steering apparatus,
and in fact, everything; necessary
to operate the ship, such as speak
tubes, call bells, electric light
regulators, speed indicators.
The room is a circular wall of
steel inches thick and
only one door for egress and in-
gross and this door is protected
y a quarter circle of steel
inches thick, making it almost
impossible for a shot from the
enemy to reach the Admiral. The
Russian ship General Admiral
was not quite as large as the
Blake but is equally as well
and better than some
. our ships- They all present a I
formidable appearance with their
large and small guns and especial-
the rapid fire guns
would shoot, as one of the
Russian officers said,
Those of your readers who
never saw a war ship can hardly

say that the discipline is perfect
and every man knows his duties

businesslike way. One can but
be astonished at visiting a modern
warship to see what the ingenuity
of man can devise and put to-
To view these huge guns
and have their death-dealing pow-
explained is enough to make
one utter the devout wish that
these ships may never have an
opportunity of testing their pow-
Some of these guns it is
said would throw a projectile from
to miles. While the other
nations have for many years been
perfecting their navies, let no one
suppose that our own ships

navy is yet comparatively young-

Secretary is daily prov-
himself to be the right man in
the right place. He has not
lowed himself to become anxious
or excited during tho financial
flurry of the week, brought about,
as he firmly believes, by a com-
of bankers who are seeking
by a renewed demand for gold for

to do so. tho S. Treasury

all sides, from Republicans as
well from Democrats. One
gentleman, a personal friend,
believes that
Wall Street bankers have had en
too much say in the con-
duct of tho financial department
of the Government in the past,
and that they are largely
for the present situation.
Consequently he has no idea
taking them into tho confidence
as to what he intends doing. He
proposes giving them a needed
lesson by showing them that nil
the financial ability is not
gated in Wall Street, and that
they cannot dictate the country's

brought about a better condition
of affairs, and it is believed that if

sue of bonds convinced
that none will issued the de-

will soon resume its normal
condition. The outlook is now
considered much better than it
was at the beginning of this week.
Attorney General has
apparently been selected as the
target at which to fire every
and lie that is hatched up by
the
and the sensational press.
One of tho most audacious of
these was the one which purport-
ed to give in detail tho
of Representative Wilson, of
West Virginia, being by
the Attorney General, in the
office of the latter, which was pub-
at a time when it was
known that Mr. Wilson would be
where he would be likely to
the story until it had had
about two days publicity, and
worse than that, some of the
papers that printed the lie neg-
to print Mr. Wilson's
qualified denial, which was
graphed to them as as he
read the article. The Attorney
General, like the dignified gentle-
man that he is, quietly performs
his official duties, just as though
the curs did not exist.
Many statements, some of them
ridiculously absurd, hare
made about President Cleveland's
intentions concerning Hawaii.
The fact of tho matter is that he
will await the report of
Blount before deciding
what to do. It was because he
did not the information
at hand sufficiently definite to
make up his mind what ought to
be done that ho sent Col. Blount
to Hawaii. All statements to the
contrary are merely guess work,
as neither the President nor Sec-

President Cleveland and
Gresham have been
gating tho working of the much-
talked about reciprocity treaties
made tho authority of tho
tariff law, and it looks
now as if they were one and all
failures, and that they will have
to go- with Brazil and
with Spain for Cuba, and
Rico will probably be the first to
be abolished, as there have been
complaints about the
manner in which tho custom
of those countries have
lated the treaties. Tables
ed at the Department show
that the whole system has been a
failure, and that instead of in-
creasing the market for American
products there has been, in
Master Lee Rawls accompanied
his father, Mr. W- S- Rawls, to
the inauguration March 4th, and
home wrote the follow-
composition on Washington,
which is a very good production
for a boy of his age,
Washington was born in
at Mt. Vernon. He was a
eat man. He fought for Amer
lean Independence, and after
fought this big war people
wanted to make him king, but he
would not accept the office. But
the people made him president-
He was president two terms- They
wanted to make him president
again but he would not let them.
His home now stands on that old
farm. It nearly made me cry
when I passed his old home. I
saw the very suit of clothes that
ho wore when he was fighting the
British- It was a blue suit faced
with yellow silk, and the stripes
down his legs were yellow silk
His stockings were white silk.
Washington never told a lie,
and after many troubles went back
to his old home at Mt. Vernon to
live a private life, and he died
there, 1799. He is buried at his
old horn a. I saw his monument
I think it ought to be twice as
high as it is. Washington is
dead, but his name will never die.
Washington now sleeps under the
yellow clay never to wake again,
not in this world.
I never saw, but I hope to see
him in that beautiful city above
this world. It seems as if I can
see those bright eyes above the
sky. I saw one of bells they
used to ring at Mt Vernon. They
have been ringing bell ever
since Washington's death. But
they have stopped now. That is
all I have to say. Lee Rawls.

A gentleman said to us a few
days ago that we were too
promising in our efforts to build
more prize room and help the to-

had bordered on to severity in some
of our articles and that a man had a
to exercise his own
in going into more enter-
prises.
Of course a man has a right to
do as he pleases in regard to his
own matters both private and pub-
and we take this opportunity
of saying that if we have ever said
anything in the of this
paper that has in any way offended
or. touched the sensitiveness of
anyone we most humbly
but will say however, that
though we may have erred in some
particulars yet what we have said
has been strictly confined to the
truth and it is always truth that
hurts. One of the most difficult
things that a man in public
has to do is to please every-
body and one of the prettiest and
most sublime traits of a character
is to be endowed with a desire to
speak kindly of everybody.
kind feelings and harsh words
never result in good, but every be-
has his faults. Human nature
is not infallible. One of the best
evidences of a broad minded man
is the fact that he is willing to
grant others a right to their

his.

from the effect of which he came
very near dying.
For some time past he had been
suffering severely with a decayed
tooth and on Tuesday night about
ll o'clock the pain became so in-
tense that he had the druggist to
put a of morphine in the
tooth and took with him a small
vial of the with
the druggist not to use
but one more, but as he got no re-
lief from the first one he went to
his room and in his frenzied pain
it is probable that he took more
than he expected as several might
have been stuck together and in a
few moments before he had time
to get in bed the action of the
opiate put him to sleep in his
chair where he was found by Mr
W- T. Brogden, who occupies the
same room and who was aroused
from his sleep by heavy breathing
about minutes after he fell in
the stupor. His position when
found lying across a chair on his
back with his head almost touch-
the floor is doubtless what
saved his life for it was this that
caused the heavy
breathing which awoke Mr.
den.

YOUNG MEN READ THIS.
Quite a number of years ago at
just about this season of the year;
after the business houses had
closed in the evening, there
together in the magnificent
city hall of New York, the clerks
and young business men of the
city. Their purpose of coming
together was to organize a water
transportation stock company
The result of that meeting was
what is to-day known as the Clyde
Line of steamers whose vessels
enter every port in the civilized
world. This company was com-
posed of the young men
of New York City and the amount
paid by each one was very small
they were poor boys-
Now that Greenville needs enter
prises that will give to
her idle ones and at the same time
increase the permanent prosperity
of the town nobody will dispute,
and that only a small amount of
money and plenty of energy and
business qualification is necessary
to start factories that will pay
handsome only a little
serious, will prove.
We made a careful survey of
the town and find that there ace
clerks employed in the
tile houses here all of whom are
first class, honest, upright
young men. We not
counted a single man that is in-
in any business here ex-
as salesmen book-keeper.
Now let us look at this master
just as it is and see what can be
done. These clerks by placing
aside just one month's salary can
raise at least one thousand dollars
and in more days can raise five
hundred which will be fifteen
hundred in all that has been
ed in forty-five days. With this
money all of the machinery that is
needed to manufacture plug to-
can be purchased and have
some money left. They can put
aside five dollars of their salary
every month and not miss it and
with it hands and a foreman can
be employed and
started on a sound and solid basis
Oh well some one says what are
we going to buy the goods
with That is a matter.
There are plug in the
State and there is not half of them
that pay cash for their goods.
The tobacco can be bought at
and days time and as each
clerk here is interested he of
course becomes a drummer and
this town alone can consume all
that one factory will turn out
Now one word more in
It will not be before
the responsibility of transacting
the business for the world will fall
on the of the rising gen-
and it behooves every
proud young man to make the
world more progressive, and it is
not natural that the old element of
the town will do much to
age new industries, hence that re-
now falls on you.
As we lift the veil of future and
look ahead through the natural
period of a life time we see much
that we must do in order to make
each generation more progressive.
Our fathers accomplished a great
deal of which our grand-fathers
little dreamed and surely we don't
want it said that the world is no
better by our living. Take this
matter young men and think over
it carefully. There is plenty of
time at night when you are doing
nothing else that can be valuably
employed in laying plans for your
business. It will prove healthy
and invigorating and will result in
great good for you and the com-
at large.
A CARD.
To the citizens of
I wish to express my heartfelt
appreciation and gratitude
to each and every individual
whose services were so generously
given to save my life last Tuesday
night when I was so unfortunate
as to lie unconscious for several
hours from the effects of an over
dose of morphine. I am informed
that it was only by the constant
and ever watchful and persevering
efforts of my friends and the time-
interference of the doctors that
my life was saved. In conclusion
allow me to say that although I
came to your town only a short
while ago an entire stranger yet I
have always felt perfectly at home
and have found nothing but
kind and generous hearted people
among whom I have decided to
cast my future lot.
Thanking you again for the
brotherly kindness shown me on
the unfortunate occasion referred
to above, I remain,
