into very plain and commonplace
gray so soon after marriage. The
lover is continually telling his

only thing they will have to boast
of this year will be the fact that
they carried the States that
have been republican for more than
a quarter of a century-
The State Democratic Executive
Committee met on the 7th in
Raleigh. Among other things it did
was to endorse the letter of the
Chairman of the Committee, Ed
Chambers Smith, to Mr. Ellington
in reference to the qualifications
of those who are to participate in
the Democratic Primaries. We
did not print these letters, but the
substance was about this, that
only those who were Democrats
and expected to affiliate with Dem-
party would be expected
or would desire to take part in
these Primaries. It advised that
men who were Democrats should
not be excluded promiscuously
from participating in these
meetings.
In another column will be found
the call for the Democratic Con-
of Pitt county. It is just
what it ought to be and we call
upon the Democrats of the county
to read every word of it- The ad-
vice and encouragement attached
timely, and if followed will in-
sure the fact that old Pitt will
come up with her usual Democrat-
majority. The committee
says that if you remain at home
and things do not go as you like,
you can have no reason to com-
plain.
We call special attention to what
is in reference to the selection
of delegates. If there ever was a
time in the history of the State,
when we need wise and prudent
action it is now. We can only ex-
this action from wise and
prudent men. Let us be careful
to select our most level headed
who are not extremist
won or deed, but men
who able t weigh the- facts
carefully and then act most pro.
. If this is done we may
expect and will have harmony.
The best men of Pitt county as-
in Convention will do the
beat thing for Pitt county and
then all of us can back them.

COUNTY DEMOCRATIC
Rooms of the Democratic
Executive Committee of
County.
Greenville. N- C, April 9th,
At a meeting of the Executive
Committee of the Democratic party
of the county of Pitt, held in Green-
ville this day, pursuant to a regular
notice given by the chairman, it
was ordered that a County Con-
of the party to held in
Greenville on Saturday the 7th
day of May 1892, for the purpose
of appointing delegates to the
State Convention called to meet in
the city of Raleigh on the 18th day
of May 1892.
It was further ordered that the
township meetings to appoint
delegates to tho County
be held at the usual places in
each township, at o'clock P. M.,
on Saturday the 30th day of April
1892-
Each township will be entitled
to appoint to the County
Horn one delegate and one alter-
and the who com-
pose those, are in their
capacity. In the township
meetings each person is there in
his individual capacity and it is
there that he can perform his part
in giving and direction and
character to the Conventions of
his party which are to follow. It
is in the township meetings that
the life of our party organization
begins, and it is horn these that all
authority to make platforms,
candidates and tho
support of the voters is derived.
These meetings are open to every
person, who in faith expects
to with the party, and
we hold it to be the duty of every
Democrat who can, to attend them.
If any Democrat willingly remains
away and things do not go to suit
him he has no right to complain.
In the next place we beg to urge
upon the Democratic voters who
attend these meetings to select
conservative, wise and discreet
men to represent them in the
County Convention. We do not
shut our eyes to the fact that there
are differences of opinion among
those who have heretofore been
laboring for Democratic
success as to what we should do,
and what we should not do, in the
coming campaign. If our
are composed of conservative,
wise and discreet men, these
can be harmonized and
we can present an unbroken front
to our common enemy, the
party Division means de-
feat, and defeat means death to all
hopes of relief or reform of any
kind. Division can only come in
our opinion by allowing
men of views to
take control of our conventions
and dictate the line of action for
our party. It is better, at this
time, that men of known prudence
and wisdom, who believe that the
integrity of the Democratic party
is the surest safety for the State
and Nation shall be sent to our
party conventions, and we urge
upon our township meetings to
choose such men as their delegates.

The Revival.
The protracted meeting which is now
in progress at Methodist church is
widening in influence and power. Great-
results than have yet been visible arc
looked for lief ore its close.
The Meeting Is being conducted by
Rev. D. H. Tarboro. lie Is
yet a comparatively young man, being
about thirty-four years old. He was
born in western part of State, In
Caldwell county. He has been in the
ministry nearly eight years. Mr. Tut tie
is a man of unusual ability and power in
the pulpit. His life is an inspiration to
every one who knows him. Honesty
convictions aid boldness in the
of them mark him as one of the first
ministers of the South. No man has
ever more impressed us with the tact
that he believes what he preaches and
preaches what he and that
belief has been reached by a laborious
and submissive study of the word of God.
He shows a familiarity with the Bible
that is wonderful, almost beyond belief.
He quotes Scripture very frequently
with perfect accuracy and nearly always
gives you the book, chapter and verso of
each quotation. He is at all times
often eloquent and sometimes
grand in his preaching. His diction Is
clear and forcible, his language strong
and often elegant and his delivery easy,
free and attractive.
All of the sermons he has preached
here have been unusually good
but we cannot refrain from
mentioning especially those of last Sun-
day morning and evening. His sermon
in was about makers.
We shall not attempt any description of
it. No pen could report it. He Invited
the congregation to take a rip with him
up the Valley of the Life in
which we saw many people
cisterns for themselves that would
hold water. We took with him a second
trip up that valley when we found all
the cisterns broken. We would not be
satisfied If we did not say here that for
of conception, beauty of
thought, eloquence in delivery,
appropriateness in application, beauty in
tender and thrilling appeals
it was one of finest sermons we eyer
heard, and we are thankful fiat
heard it.
The sermon at night was on heart
as it's, the heart as it must The
reason we wish specially to refer to this
sermon is to say that Mr. Turtle showed
in it that he was a man opposed to all
kinds of sins, and that he had the bold-
to speak plainly in condemnation.
We believe he said just what he ought to
have said. The believes the
town is under obligations to him
for expressing the sentiments he did and
the sermon will do Greenville good
for the next ten ye; rs We say amen to
every word of It. We trust that the In-
of such a man as Mr. Tuttle will
long be felt among us and that many
who arc now leading lives of wickedness
may be induced to become followers, in
ti and In deed, of our loving
Thus far during the meeting
of professions have been made and up to
the close of Monday nights services
seven persons had given in their names

COTTON MARKET Is lower now than at any former period
in about forty years; this has been brought about by the
dented of the crop since September last, and the large
accumulation of cotton all over the world. Many believe we will
see an improvement in prices later on in the season, when the
most be necessarily light; if any of friends,
who have cotton, would like to raise money on same and hold it
longer, we are prepared to advance them to per bale

American society. He
The American colony in Paris was re-
shocked by the report of a pistol
from the private rooms of an American
wife and mother. A hod sought
to wash the stain of dishonor from his
home with the blood of the scoundrel
who had wrecked its happiness.
The echoes of that pistol shot rang
around the civilized world. It

lesson to the heart of tho giddy

Within the past few days two
have again shocked over the
sad revelation of the disgrace of a proud
and honored name among the social
celebrities of America. Again the con-
has centered the sacred
name of wife and mother. What makes
these incidents of specially dark import
is the insight they give in the condition
of the so called high society of today
that circulates between the Old and
New Worlds.
AWFUL FACTS.
A woman correspondent of tho St.
Post-Dispatch, writing from Paris
and commenting on one of these events,
says that can be imagined no at-
in which a woman, pretty,
and vain, with the seeds of
vice lying dormant her nature, could
find readier encouragement for the up-
springing of the evil growth than in this
circle of society.

was also a woman of most immoral life

most honorable American families in

enough of them to show that if Mrs.
Deacon chooses to again run with the

THE DOWNFALL OF SOCIETY.
This is sad reading for tho student of
tho society of today. If it be true, this
is one of the most startling facts in the
history of the social order of the Nine-
century. It as surely points to
of such a social order, as
did tho stench which rose from tho de-
society of Rome presage the day
when Goth and Vandal would build on
the ruins of the city once mistress of a
world.

things plain men and women should

rather to compromise one's for
honor, integrity, truth, purity, manhood
and womanhood.
is time fathers and moth-
of wealth learned that to rear a
daughter in whirl of
fish vanity and idle idiocies, surrounded
by a set pf unprincipled libertines and
rakes, is hardly conducive to the pro-
of a woman fit to preside over a
home.
THE HABIT.
of dances and social
customs of this set is also in need of a
restudy and revision. It is worth con-
at least, whether the custom
of society women appearing at all social
functions in so called full dress is
the thing to virtue and man-
hood and womanhood.
For nowadays means as
nearly undressed as the police will allow.
Is it just the thing for women who
claim to be the leaders of modern society
to habitually appear before men, in their
homes and in public halls, in a
of nakedness whose vulgarity pass-
es the limits of sane discussion If any
woman is fool enough to believe men
not two eyes in their heads they
will wake to the fact by and by. A
spade is a spade. It is a fact that the
anatomical display in the boxes at tho
opera of today far exceeds in area that
which is seen behind the footlights.

is time so called high society
learned an old, old home is
the holy of holies of human life. The
man who allows a libertine, or any male
biped, to enter his home, and under any
pretense of social law or custom pay
court to his wife, forfeits the divine
right of his fatherhood manhood;
and he merits the contempt of man-
kind. The wife who seeks the attention
of other men than her husband is a fool
of unfathomable proportions; and when
she receives the first of these attentions
by which men pay court to women, she
is leaning over the brink of the deepest
hell that opens on this earth.
It is a good time to think of some of
these facts.

is a mistake to identify
little organization for worship
with the true church of Christ.
The church of Christ is an invisible
empire. Wherever the sou of man looks
op into the heavens and says,
this is the temple of the Most
High. It is exceedingly difficult for a
member of a traditional denomination to
got into our beads this conception of tho
invisible, universal church.
It was hard for the people in the days
of Christ to understand this. Jesus had
to repeat and repeat the great thought.
God is spirit. They that worship him
must worship in spirit and in truth. He
had to repeat again and again the idea
that neither in the mount aim of Samaria
nor in Jerusalem could be found the
true temple of divine worship, but it
could only be found in tho son of man.

of a church on one occasion after his

to four walls of an historic institution.

homestead and went to sea. She was
heartbroken. The preacher visited her
home and had poured into his ears this

good boys. She could not understand
why they had all gone to sea and left
her. She could not understand the mys-
work of Providence. Her heart
was desolate, the home forsaken. And
she said her boys had seen the
ocean until were grown. She asked
the preacher to explain it He looked

Egyptian and Crosses.
The lord bishop of Limerick, Dr.
Graves, who has examined the Christian
antiquities remaining amidst the ruins
of several of tho great Egyptian temples,
states that many of these monuments,
bear Christian inscriptions and are
scribed with Christian crosses. Thus
the great called the
at Thebes, which has used in part
as a Christian place of worship, bears a
Coptic inscription on one of the columns,
with the figure of a cross, and on walls

crosses have rudely inscribed.

A traction official who has recently
been to Boston, brought back with nun
a model of a double decked street car, a
sample of tho kind made in that city.
The upper deck fa intended for the use of
smokers and that portion of the female
community who do not object to the
use of tobacco. The official who brought
the model said that it would not be
many months before Philadelphia would
have a few double decked cars running
on one or two of the
Philadelphia Press.

The Clot lies Pin is the finishing touch
in washing. A fine piece of linen is
hung over the line ; the clothes pin s
jammed down to hold it; the wind blows
and a constant wrenching is going on
until is taken down. A hole
appears where the clothes pin was. It
is difficult to see how
you arc going to get rid
of the pin; but
there arc; things which make more
holes than clothes pins; for in-
stance, the rubbing up and down
on necessity when an
article i; washed with common
rub more b into fine
c r coarse, than can
d to clothes pins. There
i a way out of tin's dilemma,
Use
You do not have to rub your
clothes ; soak them, boil them, rinse them, and the job is
done. They will be cleaner, whiter in half the
time; colors will be brighter, flannels softer, and you
have gotten rid of half the labor.
