Speak but Once a Year, and Then
Only to Quarrel
oThere is in Tennessee a family of
three sisters which presents some of the
woststartling peculiarities imaginable,�
said Mr. J.J. Kennedy, of thas State,
yesterday at the Riggs. oThe three
sisters live togstber on a farm, their
sole means of subsistence, and. work
early aud late to earn a liyelihood,
Two of them work in the fiela; the
third does the cooking and other house
work. :
oThere is but one period of the
year when any member of the trio has
any thing to say to any other member.
All during the winter, spring and
summer they go about their business
with the seal ut silence on their lips.
When fall comes and the crop is har-
weeted they break the silence, and
then only tc quarrel over the division
ef the proceeds. Wheneach gets all
that she thinks possible, silence reigns
again until the next harvest time.
The sisters as you may judge. have
wade a name for themselves. They
are known far and near as the ~deaf
and dumb triplets,T although such a
title is scarcely appropTiate.�" Wash-

Retrenchment and Reform
During the campaign the Third
party cendidates and Republicans in,
Wilscn county criticised the Demo-
cratic courty adminssiration for what
they claimed excessiye expenditures,
and ured the argument to make votes»
promising that if allowed to manage
affairs the expenses would be so much
less than formerly. Leaving cut che
question of whether the ccunty is as
well governed, we shall take one item
trom the records to show that vur pres
ent commissioners are not keeping
their promise to the people. Te
records show that the tax assessors for
the whole ccunty last year were paid
$235.96, and this year they have been
paid $332:56"nearly a hundred dol-
are more. Lact year Mr. Wells was
paid $462.00 for meking out the tax
list. This year Mr. Griffin has sent in
his bill tor $1,100." Wilson Times.

Mr. R. J. Holmes, Jr, who has
recently returned from a visit to Da-
Vidgon county, tells us of a remarkable
eld lady who lives near Sapona. Her
name is Mrs, Andrew Young and she
is 84 years old. She is yet vigorous
and active, walks six miles a day two
or three times a week and never takes
medicine. There are scarcely any
wrinkles in her face and her teeth are
in good condition.

THE NEGRO AS AN OBSTACLE.
© The colored man will be with us of
the South always. His tribe now
numbers 7,000,000; his increase i8
about 200,000 annually. To send him
~back to Africa is impossible, and if it
were not impossible, it would be utter-
ly impracticable. ~To colonize him in
this country is also both impossible and
practicable. Amalgamation is losing
ground instead of gaining, which 1s
vastly to the credit of our country.
So the colored man is here to stay.
We must take account of him, we must
reckon on him,
Since the gates of Eden closed on
Adam and Eve no greater calamity has
befallen a people than that which was
thrust upon the stricken South by the
act giving 1,000,000 slaves, sons of
generations of slaves, the right of frans
chise. From that day until now the
course of the Southern people has been
a desperate struggle up grade against
odds that would have daunted a less
yalliant race. Politically we are
where we wera three decades ago. No
reforms could be initiated, no advanced
positions be taken, because every year
and hour the slightest disaficction
would throw 100,000 colored voters
into ascendancy. Take a simple iu
stance: The editor of the Biblical

board Air Line at Raleigh a tew days
on the train was by accident, but they
made a pleasant party and when the
cozductor came up calling tor tickets
they were in the midst of animated
conversation, The conductor called
otickets,� and Solicitor Pou and Judge
Robinson handed ovef their regular
tickets, as the Governor says all law
abiding citizens should do, All eyes
were then tarned upon His Excellency.
Strange to say, he seemed to have
oshrinked up� several pounds (he
usually opuffs up� that is, when the
tables are notagainst him.) He didnTt
hand over a ticket. The conductor
assumed an air of ohand over or get
off.T The Governor squirmed in his
seat, ospluttered� out one of hTs char~
acteristic osnorts� and humbly appeal-
ed to the conductor to opass on� and
he would adjust the matter with him
in afew minutes. Of course a_ little
later he had a private audience with
the conductor and showed his pass
over the Seaboard Air Line.
It was evideatly embarrassing tor

especially in the presence of Judge
Robinson."Raleigh Press Visitor.

This is only one instance. Hun-
dreds might be named. For,, every
reform creates division, every new idea
creates dieaftection. And in conse-
quence the larger clement of the white
people in the South are politically sae
slowest in the world to move, And it
will be so long as there is the almost
inevitable consequence that to initiate
a change will turn the counuy over
to an incompetent and unworthy
regime.
Without another word it is clear
that the negro is an obstacle; clear
that inevitably the Southern country
must be retarded in her political prog-
ress so Jongas he is an obstacle. It
is clear that he is here to stay, What
Disfranchisement. It is the
only hope. There is,but one ground
that will reach the mark, and that 13
Illiteracy. It isa goed ore; it will
stand the test of common sense and
plain reason and right. Is it impossi~-
ble? It cannot be. Isic impractaca-
ble? It cannot be. One year or two
years may not achieve the end, but it
is worth u decade of struggle. Other
issues pale into insignificance beside
this; they should not be suffered to
interfere. It the unintelligent vote of
North Carclire cotld be eliminated
the State could then address herself
with a single eye to the needs of the
people."Bitlical Recorder.

RUSSELLTS FREE PASS.
Otho Wilson Tells of the Execu-
tiveTs Embarrassment.
Mr. Wilson, has been in Winston
getting the Hayseeder in sailing shape
Otho is talking as he walks these days.
He tells the Winston Sentinel an in-
teresting story about the governor as
follows; oOtho seems to have the
dots on Gov, Russell in the ofree pass�
matter and tells a story on his excel-
leney which is a stunnerif ii is truae"
and otho vouches for it. It is well
known that Russell is making a fight
agerinst the issuing of free passes and
last week Judge Robinson charged the
Wake county grand jury to return true
bills against all railroads tor this crime
(?). During the session of the court
there was a case of this kind in| which
the Governor was a witness for the
State.

A Chariot ot Fire
A fire, which, to say the Jeast,
was unique, occurred on the
highway between here and Pine-
ville Saturday.
A wagon, the frame of which
was covered with cotton bagging,
left town full of hands going to
Mr. Baxter BailesT: There were
women as well as men in the
crowd. One of the men was
smoking. A spark, oanbeknown-
st� to him got into the bagging.
{n a few seconds a blaze shot up.
Tho mules were going at a pretty
lively pace, and the
increased so rapidly that the
occupants of the wagon barely
escaped with their lives. They
jumped through the flawes or fell
out, whichever they could do
best. Several ,f the women
caught on fire. The driverless
mules rushed on, and the flames
rushed up, fully 15 feet. The
mules were singed, a new bed-
stead, a pair of shoes and some
clothes in the wagon were con-
sumed, along with the frame.
The darkies had often sung about
the,chariote of fire, but they now
prefer to make the exit some
other way."Charlotte Observer.

Raids of illicit stills have lately
been made in that locality. The
moonshiners suspected two re-
