It is strange how widely foolish

tend that they want this, that, and

these things will not accomplish
the desired results, or they charge
those who are about to give them
their pretended wishes as being
governed by sinister motives.
They are false in every

to serve their own personal whims.

These self-constituted apostles
of reform have been discarded by
the progressive element of society
and are now seeking to ingratiate
themselves into the favor of the
ignorant and prejudiced by tell
them of imaginary hardships
and unfair measures forced upon
them by the men, that
their hard earnings are filched
from them, that the harder they
strive the poorer they get, that
the price of farm products has
ceased to be governed by the law
of supply and demand, that an
bale crop of cotton will
be worth as much per pound as a
bale crop, and that the
officeholders have become their
masters instead of their servants.
They have listened to this cry
of the political hypocrites until
their reason has become
their sense of justice de-
moralized, and many of them have
become sour, discontented and
prone to magnify the evils of the
situation, working them into the
belief that matters are growing
worse instead of better.
All well informed men know,
that while there may be a grain
of truth in some of these charges,
they come far short of being ab-
true Public servants
were never more keenly watched,
and did so much labor for the
salaries they in any for-
mer period of our history. The
laboring classes are to-day enjoy-
comforts and luxuries, which
the wealthy did not enjoy and
could not procure years ago. Their
condition, for a century back, has
steadily improved. Hours of la-
have become shorter, rates of
have increased, purchasing
of earnings has been great-
y enhanced, homes of tho poor
have become more sanitary and
cheerful and every individual has
all the personal liberty any
man being could desire, who
keeps within the bounds of de-
and of law.
In their tirade against
social conditions, these so-
and populists, whatever
they are, aim their shafts of
and sarcasm at those mainly
who have accumulated wealth,
seemingly forgetful of the fact,
that the class, who are in the
most prosperous circumstances,
are those who have, in most in-
stances, acquired it by their fore-
sight, prudence and energy, and
belong to the laboring class them-
selves. Instead of being an in-
upon the public, as these
chronic grumblers would make
their discontented hearers be
they are the real benefactors
of the poor. In planting new in-
and thus providing op-
for the employment of
those who are dependent upon
their daily labor for their daily
bread, they are doing more to aid
humanity and to build up waste
places, than the greedy growlers
who prate about inequality of
wealth and its distribution.
With holy horror and high
sounding phrases of rhetoric they
are wont to contrast the condition
of the capitalist, in their stately
castles, and the poverty stricken
abodes of the poor, utterly
the plain troth, that the
money spent in the building of
the castles goes into the pockets
of the brick mason, the hod car-

To Those Who Planted the Eastern
Pride Tobacco
I have been informed that a
number of farmers in the county
who obtained the Eastern Pride
tobacco seed from Joyner
last fall have recently be-
come very much dissatisfied with
the kind of tobacco because it is
buttoning too early and
pally because it is alleged that I
have said that it was an inferior
kind of tobacco and that Mr. Ed-
wards would not plant it this
year. I wish to say that I have
never made any such a statement
Mr. Edwards, it is true, did not
plant any of that particular kind
this year but it was not because
it was an inferior kind of tobacco
but because it was lighter weight
tobacco, and in justice to Mr. Joy-
the successor of Joyner k
I want to say that I
had six acres of this kind last year
and the highest price that I ob-
for any tobacco was for this
kind and should continue to plant
it if I could raise as much to the
acre. Mr. Edwards says he can
cure it as white as he wants it
and the only objection that I have
ever heard against it was that it
would not make as much to the
acre as the Hester. I am impress-
ed that if the people would wait
until this tobacco is topped and
see how it develops they will be
much better pleased with it. The
recent rainy weather has caused
all kinds of tobacco to grow up
spindling.
This with the fact of its slow
development before it is topped
has brought about in my opinion
the recent dissatisfaction-
E. A.
in the European demand for
gold.
The Government has lost in
actual cash, according to
figures, in carrying
out the provisions of the Sherman
silver law, nearly re-
presenting the difference between
the amount paid for the silver now
stored in the Treasury vaults and
its selling price. If it
really had to be sold at once the
loss would probably be much
greater because of tho further
depreciation in price that would
follow such a large quantity of
silver on the market.
Among the consular appoint-
made this week was that
of Bennington B. of New
Jersey, to be Consul at
England, in place of
Folsom, resigned- Mr. Folsom
who has held the since
his appointment early in the first
Cleveland administration, is a
cousin of Mrs- Cleveland's and as
he figured in all the
republican papers as proof that
President Cleveland was not in
earnest when he declared himself
opposed to nepotism. Wonder
what those same fellows will say
now that Mr. Folsom has
resign The chances are
that they will ignore it entirely
and say nothing-
Secretary has, in one
respect, a long lead of all the
heads of departments- Since
taking charge of the Treasury he
has replaced more than Be-
publican officials, outside the
classified service, with good
Democrats-
Democratic Congressmen, after
a hard and stubborn fight, have
succeeded in convincing Post-
master General that his
rule against the removal of Be-
publican fourth-class postmasters
who have served four years or
more, unless charges are tiled
against them, is a bad one, and it
will be recalled and all
cans who have been in office four
years or more will be replaced by
Democrats just as fast as they can
be got at in Mr. Maxwell's office.
A letter received by Mr. Cleve-
land this week furnishes
proof, if proof were needed,
of the wisdom of the establish-
in the Pension Bureau of a
Board of He vision, the sole duty
of which is to go over all the pen-
that have been granted
the law of 1890 and deter-
mine whether they were granted
in accordance with a proper con-
of that law. The writer
of this letter, Mr. J. M. Burnett,
is an ex of the office, who
voluntarily resigned during the
last administration because he
could not conscientiously take

He tells the President of a
large number of pensions illegal-
granted, and gives names,

may be easily verified- He says
that thousands of pensions have
been illegally granted, and that
they are not confined to cases in
which the law was wrongfully
constructed, but include an
number granted in direct
violation of law- Mr. Burnett
concludes by expressing the be-
lief that at least a year
can be saved by a thorough and
rigid purging and revision of the
pension rolls.

Not many people know it, says
the Greensboro Record but rail-
road companies, or many of them,
never lose much by accidents
where lives are lost. They carry
insurance against such things.
For instance, they take out a gen-
policy in a good company for
a specified amount insuring them
against loss of life. It is said the
Bostian Bridge cases never cost
the railroad anything over and
above the premium on the

are never known in a suit,

whom a great many people are
disposed to place the blame, but
Mr. Cleveland's idea of fair play
is such that not probable that
he will take any action until there
is more tangible evidence of Col.

fact can hardly escape the coroner

with this school work that he be-
to use his influence to raise
up young men for the ministry, a
work, which once began was tho
most fondly cherished object of
his ambition to tho day of his
death-
First the young men
whom he was instrumental
helping into the ministry were
the Revs. I. Harding, S- S- Bar-
Luther and Edward
Wooten. In the year 1857 he re-
moved to Pittsboro, Chatham
county, whither also the two
young men last mentioned re-
paired to continue their course
of instruction at the feet of their
typical Gamaliel. Here M. M.
Marshal now the Rev. Pr. Mar-
of Raleigh was added to
their list. The three stayed with
him until prepared to enter
College, Conn.
After a residence of nearly three
years in Pittsboro, he returned
for a short while to

he went to

town and Calvary ch a few

came back to his old home in

ed his school for the training of

of Trinity School, but received
from Dr. Hughes himself regular
monthly services. During the
last year owing largely to the
stringency of tho times, the bur-
den of sustaining the school has
become exceedingly great, and
Dr. Hughes was full of plans for
putting into operation some
means by which the maintenance
of the school might be better as-
sured. These plans he had
lated and was expecting to lay
them before the Council at Wash-
but went to his rest before
that Council convened.

DETERMINED NEVER TO BE
SATISFIED.
It is strange how widely foolish
men become when they begin to
practice hypocrisy. They
tend that they want this, that, and
tho other, for this and that
son, and when they find they are
to get what they pretend to
want they shift fronts and say
these things will not accomplish
the desired results, or they charge
those who are to give them
their pretended wishes as being
governed by sinister motives.
They are false in every
and become chronic
for no higher purpose than
to serve their own personal whims.
We have a fair example of this
in those who are now pleased to
style themselves Third party per-
About two or three
years ago they clamored for
free coinage of silver and claimed
this would be a panacea for all
the evils under which they pro-
fessed to groan. When they had
occasion to believe that the Dem-
party was about to be-
come a unit in demanding this
they said through their leader,
Col. Polk, that this was all right
but it would not answer the
pose and would not give the
needed relief-
They also had a plank in their
platform demanding tariff
but as soon as they found
that if the Democratic party got
in power they would give this they
said this was not sufficient and
would only be effective when you
did what they know never could
be done, abolish the tariff alto-
Butler boldly
said this in his speeches about
months ago and when
asked how are you going to raise
revenue to run the government if
you wipe out entirely the tariff,
flippantly retorted, by an
income This they have
harangued for ever
since. This most assuredly with
free coinage of silver, and tariff
reduction would satisfy even their
most extreme desires- But what
do we see when the indications
are that an income tax will be a
part of the Democratic plan of
financial reform- The great
in his poisoned
sheet, known and recognized as
the Caucasian, warns his follow-
the to beware of
Greeks bearing gifts. He is get-
ting ready to boldly attack the
very thing he has been clamoring
for for twelve months, when he
sees it is about to come- Alas
for the folly of such sore
head cranks as this great apostle
of Third in North Caro-

This is the party which has in-

purpose of the reform press. The

These self-constituted apostles
of reform have been discarded by
the progressive element of society
and are now seeking to ingratiate
themselves into the favor of the
ignorant and prejudiced by tell-
them of imaginary hardships
and unfair measures forced upon
them by the men, that
their hard earnings are filched
from them, that the harder they
strive the poorer they get, that
the price of farm products has
ceased to be governed by the law
of supply and demand, that an
bale crop of cotton will
be worth as much per as a
bale crop, and that the
officeholders have become their
masters instead of their servants.
They have listened to this cry
of the political hypocrites until
their reason has become
their sense of justice de-
moralized, and many of them have
become sour, discontented and
prone to magnify the evils of the
situation, working them into the
belief that matters are growing
worse instead of better.
All well informed men know,
that while there may be a grain
of truth in some of these charges,
they come far short of being ab-
true Public servants
were never more keenly
and did so much labor for the
salaries they receive in any for-
mer period of our history. The
laboring classes are to-day enjoy-
comforts and luxuries, which
the wealthy did not enjoy and
could not procure years ago. Their
condition, for a century back, has
steadily improved. Hours of la-
have become shorter, rates of
wages have increased, purchasing
power of earnings has been great-
enhanced, homes of the poor
have become more sanitary and
cheerful and every individual has
all the personal liberty any
man being could desire, who
keeps within the bounds of de-
and of law.
In their tirade against
social conditions, these so-
and populists, whatever
they are, aim their shafts of
and sarcasm at those mainly
who have accumulated wealth,
seemingly forgetful of the fact,
that the class, who are in the
most prosperous circumstances,
are those who have, in most in-
stances, acquired it by their fore-
sight, prudence and energy, and
belong to the laboring class them-
selves. Instead of being an in-
upon the public, as these
chronic grumblers would make
their discontented hearers be-
they are the real benefactors
of the poor. In planting new in-
and thus providing op-
for the employment of
those who are dependent upon
their daily labor for their daily
bread, they are doing more to aid
humanity and to build up waste
places, than the greedy growlers
who prate about inequality of
wealth and its distribution-
With holy horror and high
sounding phrases of rhetoric they
are wont to contrast the condition
of the capitalist, in their stately
castles, and the poverty stricken
abodes of the poor, utterly
the plain truth, that the
money spent in the building of
the castles goes into the pockets
of the brick mason, the hod car-
carpenter, architect, the
tapestry worker and every other
class laborer represented in

instances, enterprises of the kind
alluded to have been a God-send

pangs of hunger and to clothe
and shelter those dependent upon
them-
So far as the distribution of
wealth is concerned it is a well
known fact that it is constantly
becoming more equally
ed in America than in almost any
other nation on the face of the
globe. If country is so op-
unfair and even as
these dyspeptic blowpipes would
have us believe, why is it that

The inequality among men is
not so much that of money as
mental capacity. We all know
that many, who now manage and
direct great industries and enter-
prises were once common labor-
Their success is not due to
money or social caste, but to
brains. Material conditions are
not so unequal as we are wont to
suppose. All men, with few ex-
start equal in life.
They come into the world naked,
and are all slaves to the
ties of their environments. No
artificial device can make them
equally strong, fleet and capable ;
and when you handicap the swift
and thrifty you lower the standard
and retard
That is just what the reform
leaders are doing, trying to tear
down instead of building up.
They loudly proclaim that the
toilers, wage earners of the land
are oppressed, that farming does
not pay, Ac, and many an honest,
industrious man is discouraged,
restless and dissatisfied with his
lot and ready to wander off in
search of strange gods. Their
press, too, while pretending to
teach the people economic truths
are in reality filling the minds
and hearts of their readers with
hatred for their government and
suspicion against all in authority-
The enlightened, progressive
and patriotic journalists of the
country have used all their ability
and skill to counteract the evil
tendencies of such pernicious in-
and they will, let hope,
continue to apply the lancet to

such an shall take

To Those Who Planted the Eastern
Pride Tobacco
I have been informed that a
number of farmers in the county
who obtained the Eastern Pride
tobacco seed from Joyner
last fall have recently be-
come very much dissatisfied with
the kind of tobacco because it is
buttoning too early and
pally because it is alleged that I
have said that it was an inferior
kind of tobacco and that Mr. Ed-
wards would not plant it this
year. I wish to say that I have
never made any such a statement
Mr. Edwards, it is true, did not
plant any of that particular kind
this year but it was not because
it was an inferior kind of tobacco
but because it was lighter weight
tobacco, and in justice to Mr. Joy-
the successor of Joyner
I want to say that I
had six acres of this kind last year
and the highest price that I ob-
for any tobacco was for this
kind and should continue to plant
it if I could raise as much to the
acre. Mr. Edwards says he can
cure it as white as he wants it
and the only objection that I have
ever heard against it was that it
would not make as much to the
acre as the Hester. I am impress-
ed that if the people would wait
until this tobacco is topped and
see how it develops they will be
much better pleased with it. The
recent rainy weather has caused
all kinds of tobacco to grow up
spindling.
This with the fact of its slow
development before it is topped
has brought about in my opinion
the recent dissatisfaction-
E- A. Mo ye.
in the European demand for
gold.
The Government has lost in
actual cash, according to
figures, in carrying
out the provisions of the Sherman
silver law, nearly re-
presenting the difference between
the amount paid for the silver now
stored in the Treasury vaults and
its pros selling price. If it
really had to be sold at once the
loss would probably be
greater because of tho further
depreciation in price that would
follow such a large quantity of
silver on the market.
Among the . consular appoint-
made this week was that
of Bennington R. of New
Jersey, to be Consul at Sheffield,
England, in place of
Folsom, resigned- Mr. Folsom
who has held the u since
his appointment early in the first
Cleveland administration, is a
cousin of Mrs. Cleveland's and as
he figured in all the
republican papers as proof that
President Cleveland was not in
earnest when he declared himself
opposed to nepotism- Wonder
what those same fellows will say
now that Mr. Folsom has
The chances are
that they will ignore it entirely
and say nothing.
Secretary has, in one
respect, a long lead of all the
heads of departments- Since
taking charge of the Treasury he
has replaced more than Re-
publican officials, outside the
classified service, with good
Democrats-
Democratic Congressmen, after
a hard and stubborn fight, have
succeeded in convincing Post-
master General that his
rule against the removal of Re-
publican fourth-class postmasters
who have served four years or
more, unless charges are filed
against them, is a bad one, and it
will be recalled and all
cans who have been in office four
years or more will be replaced by
Democrats just as fast as they can
be got at in Mr- Maxwell's office.
A letter received by Mr- Cleve-
land this week furnishes
proof, if proof were needed,
of the wisdom of the establish-
in the Pension Bureau of a
Board of Revision, the sole duty
of which is to go over all the pen-
that have been granted
the law of 1890 and deter-
mine whether they were granted
in accordance with a proper con-
of that law. The writer
of this letter, Mr- J. M- Burnett,
is an ex of the office, who
voluntarily resigned the
last administration because he
could not conscientiously take
part in carrying out
He tells the President of a
large number of pensions illegal-
granted, and gives names,
dates, and the number of the
so that his statements
may be easily verified. He says
that thousands of pensions have
been illegally granted, and that
they are not confined to cases in
which the law was wrongfully
constructed, but include an
number granted in direct
violation of law. Mr. Burnett
concludes by expressing the be-
lief that at least a year
can be saved by a thorough and
rigid purging and revision of the
pension rolls.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
our Regular Correspondent
Washington June 17,1803-
President Cleveland is deeply
interested in the efforts that are
being made to ascertain if the
carelessness of any person was
responsible for the horrible
in Ford's old which
killed and injured sixty-odd
clerks in the Records and Pen-
office of the War Depart-
although he has wisely re-
from taking any action
that might be considered as inter-
with the
now engaged in
that task. Great pressure is g
brought to bear on him to
pend or remove Col.
the army officer who is at the
head of that office, and upon
whom a great many people are
disposed to place the blame, but
Mr. Cleveland's idea of fair play
is such that not probable that
he will take any action until there
is more tangible evidence of Col.
guilt than public
clamor for making him a scape-
goat. If he be guilty surely that
fact can hardly escape the coroner
jury now investigating and the
army court of inquiry which will
take the matter at the close of
the inquest.
The improvement in the
situation has been very mark-
ed during the last few days, and
Treasury officials and others who
keep close watch on financial
fairs believe that the turn has
come in the flow of gold abroad
and that the situation will con-
to improve. It is certain
that the gold in the Treasury is
again increasing at a gratifying
rate and that there is at present
no demand for gold for shipment
abroad. Secretary Morton ex-
presses the opinion that from now
on our cereals will take the place
of the gold which we have
shipping to Europe, and the fact
that the large amount of gold

never lose much by accidents
where lives are lost. They carry
insurance against such things-
For instance, they take out a gen-

a specified amount insuring them
against loss of life- It is said the

the railroad anything over and
above the premium on the

are never known in a suit,

The rains last Friday seemed to be

from portions of county
were here Saturday and reported that
crops were damaged by so much rain
and being blown down by the that

in the Creek section there was
more water on the ground than he had

Mr. of Greene county, sail that

will only be slight.

House Breakers.
We learn that out in the

troubled by thieves entering their
houses while everybody is away from

such deeds, advantage being taken of

Several houses have been entered in the

will be caught and punished.
Diphtheria.

THE
Two More Enjoyable Evenings.

Bird Kills Itself.
Mr. D. L. Crawford, of Beaver Dam,
told us Saturday of a very unusual
at his home a few days before.
While he was sitting down in his home
there suddenly came a crash against the
window shattered fragments of glass
went flying over the room. Recovering
from the excitement a moment later he
discovered a dead partridge lying upon
the floor and an examination of the bird
showed that both its legs cut off.
The bird had flown against the window
with such force as to cut off both legs
and kill itself.

Test Case.
There was a test of the stock law
for territory before Esquire B. S.
Sheppard Saturday. Mr. R. W.
Royster who has planted the vacant lot
around his took up some stock
that had damaged his crop. The stock
belonged to Mr. L. A. Mayo, who lives
on the north side of the river, and he
got out a claim and delivery for the
stock. Justice decision was
that the stock be delivered to the own-
the law being inasmuch
as were no gates to the river
bridge and no barrier to obstruct stock
coming across the bridge at will. There
are gates at the bridge but the Board of
County Commissioners have made no
order that they should be closed. It
will now devolve upon them to have the
closed or the county may be held
responsible for damage done by stock
coming in from the other side of the
river.
A Sad Homicide.
One of the saddest affairs we have
been called upon to chronicle is that
which occurred last Wednesday in
which one boy kills another. It is all
the more sad to us because one of the
actors in the tragic affair was a boy of
this town and a member of one of
best families.
Last Wednesday evening at Hobgood
Isaac Sugg, a son of Col. I.
A. Sugg, had a difficulty with another
hoy, M. A. James, aged about
resulted in the death of the latter. As
might be expected of such
all reports concerning it do not entirely
agree, as it is seldom that two people
can tell the same thing alike, but from
all that has been told in our presence we
take the following to be about as near
the particulars as can be given
Young Sugg was the newsboy be-
tween and Weldon and young
James performed a similar service be
tween Norfolk and Rocky Mount.
Week before last Sugg lay off an-
other boy made the run several days
place. He loaned this other boy some
books and the boy in turn loaned them
to young James. When returned
to his run last week the other boy told
him that James had the books and he
could get them by asking him for them.
When the two trains stopped together
at Hobgood Wednesday evening Sugg
asked James for the books. James re-
fused to give them up saying he was go-
to keep them, and Sugg said some-
thing about bis stealing the books. At
this James began cursing Sugg, words led
to blows and Sugg cut him in
men.
When reached home that even-
he told his father what had occurred.
Next morning condition was re-
ported as dangerous and the Mayor of
Hobgood telegraphed the Chief of Police
here to arrest Sugg and hold him in
the officer was to find
him. Friday morning at o'clock
young James died and that evening the
Coroner of Halifax county held an in-
quest over the body.
Speaking of this gives u and
we wish that all such matters could be
blotted out. It has occurred and
