as another great struggle for

cardinal pledges of tho party so
dear to patriotic North
who refuse to accept tho re-
of recent in Con-

TRUTH
It is undeniable that there is
some confusion in the popular
mind respecting truth-telling and
arising from a failure to
understand the essential elements
of truth and falsehood. So far as
the individual himself alone is
concerned he may make a false
statement without lying or he
may make a true statement and
yet lie in doing so. The question
is one of sincerity in the one case
rod an intent to the
other. All the sophistry
lies, especially white lies,
disappears when tested by the
purpose or intent of those utter
them. a sincere man
tolls that which ho believes to
true he baa not uttered a lie.
the statement itself may
be false. On tho other hand, the
hypocrite who, keeping within the
bounds of truth, insinuates a false
hood or by suppressing a part of
the truth conveys a false impress
and does so with the intent to
deceive, is an absolute liar, more
despicable oven than those who
lie outright with no pretense of
adhesion to truth. The
should be clearly impressed
on the minds of children lest they
should mistake tho form for the
substance. Sincerity,
are the elements
of truth-telling; deceit is tho
essential element of lying-
The harsh measures sometimes
used against children to punish
them for slight offenses are very
often responsible for the develop-
of a habit of lying- The
child becomes afraid to
ledge his offenses, it much
easier to play the hypocrite
thus win favors than to brave
disclosure and a ping- It is
a great mistake to breaK down a
young person's frankness and
sincerity by harsh treatment, for
there are no qualities which bet-
deserve cultivation. With
them he will be naturally a truth-
teller. Without them he may
pay respect to outward forms
of truth as a matter of policy, but
will do violence to it it
may serve his purpose to do Bo-
is an lesson to the
young sometimes to point out
two characters a com-
respected and trust-
ed, the other feared and distrust-
then get them to find
out for themselves what is the
difference between the two men.
If they are at all discerning they
will soon see that one is frank,
sincere, honest, and that the other
is tricky, false in word and deed
and very often a hypocrite. The
contrast is greater if the men are
the same class of society, with
respect at least to
sessions. Whether they are rich
or poor, a wide gulf is drawn be-
tween has troops
of friends, the other only wary
and suspicious acquaintances-
Truth-telling, which is something
more than strict adherence to the
letters of truth, is so essential to
the formation of good character
that the young should be taught
to esteem the qualities from which
it springs, and not merely
taught by rote tho sin of lying-

POSTAL CARDS.

card contracts have been made,

Tho first is that they should

many such in the county and the

men thoroughly conversant
with the needs of the people, and
with courage to advocate their
convictions.
If possible, we ought to be more
careful than for any other in
reference to the nominees for the
Legislature. This will be the
fight this year. No one believes
the enemy when they pretend as
if they are after a non-partisan
Judiciary. They want the
and want it bad, and it be-
hooves this convention to
those men whom they can-
not beat with all combination,
fusion, or co-operation they can
muster up. .
Then, again, we need perfect
harmony in all the work that you
may do that day. This is a year
that seems to favor harmonious
conventions in Democratic circles-

Death cf Mrs. E. A. Move.
Our community wan surprised
and pained on last Wednesday
morning when the sad news was
told from one to another that
Mrs- Mary L- wife of Mr.
E- A- Clerk of Superior
Court, had died suddenly the
previous night at a little past
midnight. Mrs. suffered a
stroke of paralysis a year ago
and since then has in poor

cheerfully with tho family and
told of some of her plans when
she should get well. The family

near midnight. Mr. was
aroused by her struggling and
breathing badly. He called his
sons and sent one of them for a
physician, but she died in a few
minutes-
Mrs. was a daughter of
N- D. and Mary Edwards, cf
Lenoir comity, and was two days
past years old. She was mar-

church at Corinth the first
Sunday in August, 1868, herself
and husband both being
at the same time. She was a
most excellent woman, lived and
exemplary Christian life, and was
greatly beloved by tho many who
knew her.
The remains were interred at
the burial ground, near
Farmville, on Thursday, services
being conduced at the grave by
Rev. I. L Chestnut. Many per-
sons from Greenville went out to
the funeral. The husband and
children have the sympathy of the
community in great loss.
Mr. J. D. Williamson Dead.
A few weeks ago Mr. J- D.
wont from Greenville to
for his health, being a
sufferer with consumption and
having previously received
fit from treatment there. Tues-
day evening a telegram came
from his physician stating that
after several severe hemorrhages
pneumonia had developed and
the outlook was doubtful. Next
morning his son Guy and his
brother, Mr. Paul Hosier, left for
Wednesday evening
another telegram stated that his
condition was still worse, and
Thursday the sad news came that
he was dead. His body was taken
to Suffolk, Vs., for burial, which
place was his former home and
where most his relatives live.
Mr. Williamson came to Green-
ville about twenty years ago
took a position at Mr. John Flan-
buggy factory. He worked
there for several years and then
became a partner in tho firm of
Lawrence, Williamson Co-
Two members this firm died,
and after some changes
short periods Mr. Williamson
became sole proprietor of tho
factory which he successfully
conducted the remainder of his
life, and in which he made a com-

He was married to Miss Sophia
E. Adams, of this town, in June
1878 Four children were born
to them, three of whom are now
living. His wife died in April,
1890. The remains of his wife
and child will be removed to
folk and placed beside him.
Mr. Williamson was a member
of the Methodist church here,
lived an upright life, and was
held in highest esteem among all
our people. Besides the factory
and real estate here, which he
desired converted into cash and
invested in Virginia for his

and a bit of does much
for one verging on the shady side
of prime, and so with its coat of
dark green one hardly recognizes it
as an old friend. Years ago it
wore a white dress, emblematic of
the fair bride that took possession.
There were few neighbors in those
days, and had there been more in
number I doubt if any would have
attracted my attention as did that
particular household. I was a little
child and the pretty bride
me to that degree that I
would for hours watching her
about her daily tasks.
Nellie always John good-by
and waited for his return at night.
During the day I could hear her
softly singing, and when the tender
spring brought its gift of rich

boughs, and on her

Though John worked late, there
was time to keep the garden trim,

an idea that the sun always shone
across the way.
After a time John sold a portion
of the property to a syndicate of
gentlemen who wished to run a rail-
road through the town. Now you
know there are some souls that can-
not stand prosperity. Alas my
neighbor was one of these.
By and by, began to
whisper about John's misdoings;
the little wife was always busy, but
she did the chores alone; the light
burned far into the night; tho gar-
den was not so trim, and the gate
had lost a hinge.
Had it not been for the merry
laugh of the little girl, I fear the
rain would have fallen; as it was tho
sun was hidden a cloud.
During my stay in hoarding school
my parents died, leaving me to the
of an aunt, who resided far
from my old home. Thus I lost
of my old neighbors for a time.
When I wearied of society, with
its false glitter show, wearied
of the city, I returned to the home
of my childhood, to the peace and
quiet cf country life.
My first inquiry was for my neigh-
Nellie, learned how John
had spent in drink all the money so
easily made; then, against his wife's
entreaties, had mortgaged their lit-
home; this, too, had gone to
satiate the unquenchable thirst, and
he had finally died tho death of a
drunkard.
And the girl Mortified and

in the city. They had never heard
of her again, nor of her mother, who
had presumably gone to seek her
child.
I felt sadly depressed and lonely
as I watched my new neighbors. I
lived again In the old dream, the
former fascination awoke, and I
start to find myself gazing
with almost Impertinent Interest at
the new occupants of the old house.
One an infirm woman in a
shabby black dress passed along the
street. She halted for a moment
at our gate, gazed wistfully across
the way, then resumed her walk.
after day she repeated this
strange action, always stopping for
a moment sad, pathetic

Weeks passed, then months, but
she continued her daily walk; she
was growing more feeble, and the
black gown more dingy.

that she Could not come again, slow-

the fatten of the gate, passed beneath
the old trees which were dressed in
the autumnal colors of October.

but it was not there. The little
button at the side of the door did
not attract her attention, and if it
I doubt if she would have known
its use.
Finally she gently tapped, and the
door was opened by the of

One of the most unfortunate
things a person attempt in
Gotham is the indiscriminate
the Samaritan act upon
tho Ungrateful nineteenth century,
public, says the New York Sun. A
happy illustration of this was fur-
the other day crowded
corner in the Sixth shopping
district. A perambulator had been
wheeled up in front of a shop win-
with a rosy and bright-eyed
baby wrapped up in furs inside, and
a handsome little man of six with
long golden curls standing guard
and singing to the baby. As the
people passed by they turned to look
at the children with a little
prise, and then, like the priest and
the wisely passed by on tho
other side. But pretty soon a nice
old lady with snow-white hair
along and stopped by the carriage
and questioned the little fellow, who
stopped his song for a minute and
then went on with It bravely. The
old lady decided that those children
must be protected, and so she took
up her place by the carriage and
waited ten minutes when another
along and stopped a second to
look at the pretty children and ask
them some more questions about
why they were left there alone. Then
the old lady alongside and they
talked It all over together, before
tho little boy, what a burning
It was to leave the children there
alone, and how two tramps had just
stood there ever so long watching
them. Then they told the little boy
to tell his that tho
girl left him there alone, and
around, chuckling the baby
under the chin and asking questions
and calling t hem little
until the baby put up Its grieved
under lip and the little boy stopped
his song and begin to cry big tears.
Tho old lady upon that decided
that the other lady should stand
guard while she went found the
nurse and had this shameful thing
stopped. Just then there appeared
on tho scene a little, plainly dressed
woman without any gloves, and
though her garments were far from
being fine and dainty, like those of
the children, the baby's eyes were
just like hers the boy's long
curls were the same tint as tho tight
little knob twisted up under her
cheap hat. When she found out
what all the trouble was about she
turned a pair of flashing eyes upon
the old lady and

Then she shook the boy and
promised him a spanking when ho
got homo for crying, straightened
up the baby and them off,
leaving the gentle, old lady a sadder
and a wiser woman, and the other
woman a new idea to incorporate in
her philosophy on the benevolence

three reefs run about twenty de-

speaking, have been or are worked

Their great peculiarity is their
formation. They exist in this
form at the southern end of the

generally poor, while the legs are
richer, but apparently no precise
rule can be laid down as to the

time give place to a gold-bearing
patch. The quartz throughout the
district is, generally speaking, of a
clear white character, mottled with

thickly impregnated with pyrites,

Mr. J. W- Hodges, of Beaufort

here last Thursday and sold at
the Eastern. He expressed him-
self as well pleased with prices.
All the warehouses had large
breaks again last week and ob-

last week were not altogether
so good as the previous week and
there was a slight decline in
prices, but there has been an

That the tobacco interest here

that it needs no argument. Put

dead town from a business stand-

town the size of this in the east-

brighter future- We have three
large warehouses that pay out

over two hundred hands at work
around these warehouses and the

to market was discussed and
judging from the action of the
board it will be most rigidly en-

of tobacco that was in transit to
the Greenville market.
Everyone of the warehouse-

should refuse this offer, she would
