WEDNESDAY. MARCH 18th, 1891.
The Poor
Last Saturday the Board of
County Commissioners visited the
County Poor House, or home tor
the aged and infirm as the last
Legislature changed its name.
The Legislature passed a bill
the Board authority to sell the
present Poor House property in
this county and build elsewhere,
and this visit of the Board was to
take the matter into consideration.
After they returned to town we
had a conversation with
and learned from him
that the Board is more in favor of
improving the present property
than they are of selling it and
building elsewhere. They think
that by erecting a borne there for
and
him to live on the premises, and
making some other improvements
that the desired ends would be
fully met. Their reason for this
decision is that the cost will not
be near so great to the tax payers
as would be if they undertake to
move the location nearer to town.
They do not wish to run the
in debt.
The Board of Commissioners are
men of sound judgment and have
looked after the county's interests
and managed the public funds in
such a manner as to commend
them to the highest confidence and
esteem of the people whom they
represent. Their opinion as to
the Poor House may be correct,
but there are many who take a
different view and think the
should be changed. In
speaking of this Monday a good
citizen of the Northern part of the
county ought to be
moved, and the tax-payers of the
county are willing to pay the cost,
whatever it may The
passed the bill allowing its
removal. It is a well-known fact
that the history of this institution
in the past, and even its present
reputation, reflect no credit upon
the county. There are evil
surrounding its present
that have so long existed that
it might be hard to remove them
and the best way to get rid of them
would be to remove the Poor
House.
In his the Grand Jury,
Monday, Judge Whitaker referred
to the Poor House and to the fact
that on two occasions recently

Southern States from
to Texas will make exhibits.
Raleigh selected on account
of its central position. The State
Exposition of 1884 was a good one
but this is to be one of all the
Southern States, and therefore a
one. North Caro-
should do her best and not
lei any of her sister States outstrip
her in her own There is
no danger of this if we will do our
duty, tor no State in the Union
has resources than North
Carolina. Let every section of
North Carolina be well represent-
ed, and the eyes of the nation will
be attracted to
The Democrats of the Illinois
Legislature made a strong and de
fight, and victory crown-
ed their efforts. John Palmer
was triumphantly elected United
States Senator, though the Demo-
lacked two of a majority.
Two members of the
Mutual Benefit Association voted
at last with the Democrats and
thus scored a victory against the
Republicans. The Republicans
tried bard to defeat Gen. Palmer
and as a last resort offered to give
their solid vote to Mr. Moore, one
of the members who had support-
ed Streeter. But their proposition
came too late. The fight of the
Democrats shows what
will do.
But for the death of Senator
Hearst the Senate would now
stand Democrats,
cans, and Independents. But
Senator Hearst will be succeeded
by a Republican, which will make
their number the Democrats
The two Independents will
probably act with the Democrats
on party and economic questions.
At any rate the Republicans will
not hold such a sway in the next
Senate. One gratifying result is
that those Republican Senators
who were defeated are those rank
partisans, of whose service the
country can well dispense.
If the Democrats will manage
affairs right, two years from now
we will have both branches of
Congress and the Presidency.
Senator Palmer is a good Dem-
and is no doubt the choice
of a majority of the people of

They would profit by imitating the

Judging from the number of
new railroads incorporated by the
last Legislature, North Carolina
will have a great number of new
railroads in the future. Most of
these roads, however, are on paper
yet, and it is not certain that the
State will be much worse off if
they stay there.
Steps are being taken to make
the historic battle-field of
a great National Park.
The Secretary of the Interior and
several Generals who were
ed in the battle have vis-
the field with a view to that
purpose.

We notice in an exchange that
an ex-Confederate soldier who lost
a leg in the war, and who lost
both hands while engaging in the
celebration of the Democratic

cannon, appeared before the

one outgrowth of Mr. Blaine's Re-

IN MEMORIAM.
Mr. James A. Hanrahan, the sub-
of this sketch, was born in Pitt
county, N. C, March and
died at his residence near Grifton, in
Pitt county, March 1891. He
received his education at the Green-
ville Academy and at Georgetown
and Wake Forest Co I
He served through war as an
officer in the 55th Reg. N. C. Infant-
and was captured at Falling
Waters on the retreat of the army
after the battle of Gettysburg, and
suffered a long and weary imprison-
at Johnson's Island, where the
severities of prison life and a vigor-
climate served-to lay the
of the disease from which he
died. He was married Sept 19th,
1866, to Miss Susan M. Worthington,
of New N. C. Being of a re-
tiring and modest disposition when
importuned, as he often was, to
low his name to go before the people
as a candidate for Legislature he
always declined, deeming the post of
honor a private station. Possessed
of sound and discriminating
and a kindly disposition, his
advice and council was often sought
and obtained by bis friends and
neighbors. Of sterling merit, and
uncompromising integrity, a most
affectionate husband and true friend,
his loss to this community will be
great, and to his widow and near rel-
irreparable. W.

This is a brand of Fertilizer which though new to this vicinity,
established reputation in several other States as being
excelled as a fertilizer the production of fine Bright Tobacco.
It is especially prepared for the culture of Bright Tobacco and as
we have sold it several years before we unhesitatingly recommend
it as being as good as the best.
National Fertilizer.
This is a very high grade guano, which has been used very ex-
in this State on both Tobacco and Cotton. The best
thing we can say for it is that we have sold it for years and have
never seen any one who was not pleased with it.

Beef, Blood and Bone.
Is a brand which has never been offered for sale here before.
But we know it to be a first-class standard fertilizer, as we have
sold it before. It is made by a house which stands at the
head of the list for making honest, high grade fertilizers. As its
name signifies it is composed mainly of animal matter, flesh,
blood and bone, scraps which they obtain from the large slaughter
houses of the West. We have a large supply of

care of an inexperienced young fellow,
downy with graduation honors and self
confidence, whom he had picked up in
the office of the hotel. The case was so
serious that the least mismanagement
might precipitate the result.
Held aloof by preoccupation, Royal
failed to appreciate or even note the
grand uplifting of the country round
about, the exquisite tracery of the win-
forest, the delicate hue of the sky,
on the wonderful harmony of tone given
by shading of earth and rocks, tree
stems and fading vegetation. Even the

the grace of the curve with which, like a
queen's obeisance to a rival power, it

In his frontier experience the life had
been too free from conventionality, and
human had been too read-

wonder over the interest these people
to in each other's concerns
and the trouble they voluntarily
themselves to in each other's behalf.
That seemed to him legitimate and
but at the same time it increased
the difficulty of tho position. In their
love and care for the girl these people
would doubtless demand not only
orate explanation of his plan, but some
sort of credentials for himself before they
would allow so unprecedented a thing as
a marriage by proxy to take place. The

scruples and get through the marriage

thought of abandoning his plan crossed
Iris mind; he simply readjusted it. He
would marry the young lady first and
make the explanation afterward. So far
he had bean accepted as John Royal's
self instead of John Royal's
changes in appearance
accounted for by the lapse of six
years in intercourse. He must carry out
the deception until the ceremony should
have been performed, after which, of
course, must come tho explanation. The
spirit of adventure was strong in him,

He looked smiling and important, and
bowed affably to Royal, half extending
his hand, which Royal grasped and
shook, not knowing him, of course,
but dissembling.

boy questioned, indicating at the same
moment by a gesture to his companion
the spot where Miss Royal had been

This last was addressed to Royal, who
dumbly felt that before he should get
through with the affair he might be in
need of consolation.
In the vestry they were received by
two gentlemen who were introduced by
as his brother Tom and the
Rev. Carter Both men shook
hands with Royal with enthusiasm, and
Tom Brandon helped him off with his
overcoat, remarking that he a

, Royal, who twenty-four sleep-
less hours, two sketchy and insufficient
meals and a tremendous strain of
and excitement lay between his pres-
sen and the man who boarded the
train so tumultuously the day before,
did not wonder that he should look his
part at least sufficiently to pass muster.
With the climax so close upon him a
strange, still, all powerful excitement
seized on Royal and thrilled through
every nerve and tissue like an electric
current. His pulses quivered, his heart
beat and rapidly and the blood rose
to his brain. He replied to their inquiries
like a man in a dream, and was conscious
of a vague sense of confused identity.
As ho stood before the mirror, placed in
a corner for clerical convenience, ho
caught himself dimly questioning his
own existence as apart from the existence
of that other John Royal, dimly seeking
to identify his own features with those
of the man from whose sick bed he had
come. Life- and circumstance for the
time became unreal to him, and ho ac-
the f events as imper-
as a somnambulist could have
done. Individual will seemed, as it were,
in abeyance, held under and dominated
by a force with which it was powerless
to cope. He seemed himself, and yet
other than himself, more than himself.
The minister in his robes stood, book
-n hand, within the chancel rail; the
wedding march burst forth with joyous
invitation; a group of black coated men
and maidens all in white came up the
aisles, crossed each other and ranged
themselves about the chancel. And
Royal, still like a man in a dream, ad-
from the vestry door with Tom
Brandon at his side, and received from
the hands of a white haired gentleman
the lace enveloped figure of his unknown
bride. Her hand lay on his arm, the
folds of her shining robe brushed against
him, the lace covered her droop-
head almost touched his shoulder-
he did not look at her nor
by so much as the quiver of a muscle
consciousness of her proximity. His in-
seemed lost, merged in that
of the man whose part he had assumed.
His imagination was strained, his pulse
beat with excitement, his brain was
clear, hi perceptions
acute. He could hear the of a
somewhere among the
and the stamping of the horses
outside distinctly through the rhythm of
the music. The interest of the
tors thrilled him, but failed to renew
recognition of being other than he
seemed,
Then, amid the which followed
the cessation of the music, came the
pose toe people were as-
and his impressive to
them that if any man knew J
should prevent this union lie should set
it forth, followed by tho which is
so seldom broken. Then, in tone that
sounded in bis ears as tho voice of an-
other man, Royal found himself repeat-
words which, with the strange I -use
of duality which oppressed him, s
to bind him, as well as that to
the woman beside him as with I
of steel; and when, her answering vow
breathed forth, he received the ring, it
was as though another hand was with
his hand, guiding it as he placed the
circlet on her finger. And a terrible
sense of and
for a moment overwhelmed him, turn-
him faint and sick, as on
a heavy blow has fallen.
