There are some ambitious

efforts to lead astray the mass-

know that legislation for the past
twenty five years has burdened
them with excessive taxation, that
the harder strive the poorer they
get, and they are anxiously seeking a
remedy for their grievances.

We have in our

was brought in yesterday by our
young friend and progressive farmer
Mr. Ed. Exum, from near
burg. He s he discovered it in the
midst of one of his cotton fields and
knows not how it there, as
he has none of the seed. It has bolls
just like other cotton; but instead of
lint bolls are entirely filled with
seed, which are softer and much more
oily than the ordinary cotton seed
that is ginned from lint cotton. The
stalk can be seen at our office.
Kinston Free We hear a
a good deal of complaint of the rail-
roads for making no reduction of
consequence to religious gatherings
and making such big reductions to
circuses and fairs. The
the Baptist association at Beau
fort was only a few cents, and to the
Disciple convention at the
difference was only sixteen cents be
the reduced and first
fare, and second class fare was
less than the reduced rate. If the
railroads are going to make any re-
at all to religious gatherings
I hey ought to make more than they
do.

Elder G. A. he deliver-
ed two most excellent sermons. His
morning discourse was based upon
the sending of the Holy Ghost by
Christ upon His disciples, upon all
who love Him and abide in Him.
He strongly upon both the
divinity and personality of the Spirit,
that He was the third person in the
Godhead, making the complete
As a proof of both His divinity
and personality he pointed out many
ways in which the Spirit visits us, to
warn when danger is near; to counsel
and admonish that we may go in
paths; to comfort and cheer
when trouble or grief comes upon us.
The believing heart could find much
comfort the words he spoke.
At night Elder sermon
was a gospel entreaty from the text,
I stand at the door and
taken from the letter to
the-Church of the found
in the third chapter of Revelation.
He begun by pointing out the
of that church which caused
John to be told to write the things
which were written about it. They
were living in a stale of
taking no determined for
anything. They seemed to have for
gotten God and no longer recognized
as their head and leader in all
their enterprises and undertakings;
yet they did not cut loose from their
church and religion entirely for fear
they might have use for them some-
time. Their's was a dangerous poi
lion and because of their lukewarm-
and they
were neither cold nor hot God said
He would them out of His
mouth. They bad shut up
hearts against God. There men
and churches to-day living very
much in the same state as these
There are many ways
in which Christ is practically
shut out of their hearts. The man
who allows himself to become so en-
grossed in business cares that he has
no time for his religious duties is
shutting God out of his heart; it is
contrary to the teaching which says
ye first the kingdom of God
and all these things shall be added
unto It is best to take God
into partnership with you in your
business and consult Him in all your
enterprises. Those who neglect
reading their Bible, neglect their
daily prayers, are shutting God out
of their hearts. A man should never
begin a day's duties first
putting himself in God's hands and
imploring His blessing and guidance
through the day. The man who
neglects to pay his debts is shutting
God out of his heart. Go through
the town and get the unpaid mer-
chant's the unpaid butcher's
bills, the unpaid dressmakers bills,
and other bills, let these go to the
judgment before yon and some of
will stand a poor chance of Heaven.

The minister illustrated various
other ways in which men practically

to heed the of the Saviour

unto Him. We mention the above
points because they ones

One Merchant's Bold Stroke.
This story is told of one of the lead-
dry goods men of New He
was carrying a heavy stock of floe mil-
goods when the round topped
derby bat for women became suddenly
fashionable. The market flooded
with them, and they were regarded as
the only thing to be worn on the head.
This merchant foresaw a great loss on
bis stock of millinery, and decided to
prevent it He first bought all the
derby hats he could and then
them extensively, offering them
for sale at ridiculously low prices.
Th result that the derby fell
into disfavor among fashionable women
at once, and he saved his market for
bis more expensive goods. It is by
strokes such as this and the careful
watching of the market and feeling of
the popular poise that fortunes are
made by the few extremely successful
merchants. Brooklyn Life.

of them are shipped to
cities, where they go through the
necessary processes of manufacture
fore being disposed of to the retail mer-
chants. The art of coloring rabbit hair
has attained such a high degree of per-
that it can be made to counter-
seal, otter, ermine or almost any
other sort of fashionable fur. The
skins are largely made Into felt hats,
which are very beautiful and soft to
the touch. When the fur Is long It Is
sometimes cut In two and the finer or
inner portions are mixed with wool.
Various machines have been Invented
for constructing hats of rabbit pelts,
some of which distribute the hair with
marvelous rapidity and evenness on re-
metal cones.
rabbits are skinned immediately
upon being killed, the heads, feet and
all the fat being removed. If the
weather is fine the pelts are dried in the
open air, but in bad weather they are
hung up under sheds. When thoroughly
dried they are turned outside in to pro-
the fur from injury, and then they
are tied in bundles of a dozen to twenty
each and packed in bales, each of which
contains from to skins. A
little carbolic acid powder is used in
the packing to preserve them from at-
tack by insects. In this crude state
they are worth from fifty to eighty cents
a dozen, according to quality.

has chosen to make In the world.
When Captain Cook, the celebrated
navigator, first visited those countries
he found a fauna entirely different

conspicuous, while in New Zealand the

of the rat and one of the common bat.

two legs that could be brought from

forts resulted most unfortunately.
Several years ago some dozen pairs of
common gray rabbits were imported
for the purpose o supplying sportsmen
with an object for the chase. The
of this interesting experiment
was made one of rejoicing, and the
beasts were let loose with speeches and
banquets to -welcome them. They
multiplied so fast that the people did
not have to wait long for all the sport
of that kind they could desire.

Story or a Steer.
A Kansas cowboy tells of a
wild steer that has roamed the
plains of the southwest for many years,
unconquerable by the most daring and
skillful herder. He says the steer killed
a big silver tip bear in a fair fight two
years ago. The combat was a terrible
affair, and was witnessed from a safe
distance by two cowboys. The bear
attempted to creep up on the steer, but
the latter saw him and at once gave
battle. As the steer charged the bear
rose to his bind feet and gave the ox a
terrible blow with his paw, which
served to stagger the beast for a mo-
but with a bellow of rage the
steer again rushed at the bear, and be-
fore he could administer another blow
had hit him fair in the ribs and sent
him rolling on the grass. The fight then
became fast and furious, and soon the
bear was seen trying to crawl away
from his enraged opponent. The steer
was too quick for him, however, and
headed him off, and at last gored him
to such an extent that death ensued.

It was during the French revolution
of 1788 that a weekly Sabbath was to-
tally abolished. The national
which declared France a republic
determined, at the Instance of
archbishop of Paris, to abandon Chris-
and to substitute Instead the
worship of liberty, equality and reason;
churches were quickly despoiled and
civic feasts substituted for religious
festivals. The convention also enacted
at that time. Instead of being reckoned
from the birth of Christ, should there-
after count from the birthday of the
French revolution, the year to begin
anew from that date. Sept 1792.

not be observed, the months were to

It was at chop house on
Thursday morning. There were a
n fellows nested at the center
t- The waiters bustled about, sot-
before them of boas and
Welsh rarebits, and golden bucks and
Scotch woodcocks, the Utter a deli-
composed of anchovy toast and
poached eggs. Evidently they knew
then- way about, and were acquainted
with the slang of after midnight up
town restaurants.
The little tables around the room
were also occupied, but a quieter
crowd never seen at that hour of
the morning. The party at the center
table said never a word, and the men
at the other tables simply watched
them, with vacant, questioning smiles
There was a convention of deaf mutts
In town, and the dozen at the center
table were some of the delegates. This
was explained by one of the waiters,
but it did not in the least lessen the in-
all the other people bad in watch-
the rapid finger movements of the
party. The president, a handsome,
clean cut faced man of thirty-five, with
spectacles, got on his feet as soon as
the glasses were filled, and while they
were waiting for the eatables. He held
his foaming glass in the right hand,
and energetically wagged the fingers of
his left His

with their two fingers and thumb. All
were smiling, and an eager, listening
beam was in the eye of each.
Bat, although the president finished
up with what was no doubt a very fun-
story, none of the party laughed.
Their smiles broadened to grins, their
fingers worked like lightning, but there
was no Not even a merry
of the glasses or a rapping of the
table. This was what made it so
canny, and kept all the other roisterers
from enjoying one another's company.
But R was perfectly natural.
There were half a dozen college men
present, and to them it was the most
curious thing they ever
to see twelve young fellows really en-
joying themselves without making a
heap of noise It may be a lesson to
them.
. It was the president of the deaf and
dumb party who gave the orders to the
waiter. He spoke slowly and
sized each word as if he were firing it at
the bullseye at the end of a shooting
gallery. Tho waiter halloed back, and
the president don't hear. None

his mouth to the president's ear and
began to bellow louder. The pres-

other fellows with his left hand, at
which they all laughed by flipping
their thumbs against the two first fin-
But the waiter caught on at last.
And the dumb and deaf party
had evidently a very merry, though
noiseless, evening. Their fingers work-

of song, yet nobody outside of their
party was any the wiser.

A Waterloo
A farmhouse with an orchard
rounded by a thick hedge, formed a
most Important point in the British
position at Waterloo, and was ordered
to be held against the enemy at any
sacrifice The hottest of the battle
raged around this point, but the Eng-
behaved well and beat back the
French again and again.
At last the powder and ball
were found to be running short; at the
same time the hedges surrounding the
orchard took fire. A messenger was
sent to the rear for more powder and
ball, and in a abort time two loaded
wagons came galloping down to the
farmhouse, the gallant defenders of
which were keeping a scanty fire
through the flames which surrounded
the post
The driver of the first wagon spurred
his no- horses through the burn-
heat, but the flames rose fiercely
around and caught the powder,
exploded, sending rider, horses and
wagon in fragments through the air.
For one instant the driver of the second
wagon paused, appalled by his com-
fate; the next, observing that
the flames, beaten back tor ti moment
by the explosion, afforded him one
desperate chance, he sent his hones at
the smoldering broach, and amid the
of the garrison landed his cargo

The Vineyards of California.
The vineyards of California date back
years to the time when the Roman
Catholic missionaries engaged in the
industry, bat the real practical
of grape growing and wine making
for our day dates back about thirty-
five years. In this state they have
to the extent of thousands of
acres from the the same as
they have in France and Italy, but in
California this enemy has been over-
come by grafting. They plant the
roots of our stock and then
graft upon the roots the finer types of
foreign grapes of all kinds, and by that
method they escape damage from the
York Epoch.
