Fast Trains the Safest.
Superintendent Darlington of

and unless there is a defect in the
track an accident seldom happens
to them. Our No. says he,

fast train and keeps out
of its way. At for
instance, where our fast trains
pass through at nearly sixty miles
an hour, no one has ever been
hurt. The people know the trains
cannot be stopped in a second and
govern themselves accordingly. It
is in towns where there are slow
ordinances that the people
hurt. They know the trains
compelled to run slow and take
their time about getting across

DADE'S DAUGHTER.

wondered how old Capt. Dade

little creature. Tho keep-

had come from the North with his
daughter.
Tho stretch of water which
surrounded the island on which
the lighthouse stood, divided it
from the old city, which lay
bidden from view the high
sand-dunes. Several times a day
a small, dingily painted steam
launch bore its cabin-load of hot,
tired, bur curious sightseers, to
inspect and ascend the lighthouse.

keenness, was densely, savagely

brown fingers were supple enough

old banjo, they could scarcely
write his own name.
On the other hand, while Joyce's
lonely life made her eagerly crave
and respond to Juan's mate
worship, still she had idealized his
whole personality. Perhaps she-
was vaguely aware of this, and
wished to retain her illusion.
Meanwhile time passed on, and

each of which was thrown at him
again as soon as received. Tho
visitor then gave tho animal two

A Curious Combat.
A traveler in South Africa tells
of a singular combat witnessed.
He was musing one morning, with
his eyes on the ground, when he
noticed a caterpillar crawling
along at a rapid pace. Pursuing
him was a host of small ants.
Being quicker in their movements,
the ants would catch up with tho
caterpillar, and one would mount
his back and bite him. Pausing,
the caterpillar would turn his
head, and bite and kill his
tor. After slaughtering a dozen
or more of his persecutors, the cat-
showed signs of fatigue.
The ants made a attack.
Betaking himself to a stalk of
grass, tile caterpillar climbed up
tail first, followed by the ants.
As one approached, he seized it in
his jaws and threw it off the stalk
The ants, seeing that the cater-
pillar had too strong a position for
them to overcome, resorted to
strategy. They began sawing
through the grass stalk. In a few
moments the stalk fell, and
or ants pounced upon the
caterpillar. He was killed at once,
and the victors marched off in
leaving the foe's body on
the field.
The Largest Serpent.
The largest serpent of which
accurate measurements have been
and noted was an anaconda
which Dr. Gardner dead
and suspended to the of a
tree during his travels in Mexico.
It was dragged out into the open
by two horses and was
to thirty-seven feet
in length. Inside of it were dis-
covered the bones and flesh of a
horse in a half-digested state, and
there was no doubt that it had
swallowed the animal whole.

If Judge Graves don't mind he
will get up a reputation for dis-
charging least Pitt

on a case in a verdict that
the Judge deemed contrary to the
evidence, and they were forthwith
discharged. The same was
done here last Thursday. Two col
men were being tried for an
affray, and from the evidence the
Judge particularly charged the
jury that if one was guilty the other
was, and if one was not guilty the
was not. Contrary to
the jury returned a verdict
of guilty as to one and not guilty
as to other. The Judge at
once informed them that the Court
had no further use for them, saying
that the law presumed that a jury
would have some respect for the
evidence and the law in

Hon. Walter B Henry, of Hen-
North Carolina, is
mentioned as a suitable
appointment under Mr. Cleveland
for the Consul Generalship to Rio

There is certainly no man in the
State more worthy of
than Henry. His
vices to the party for the past ten
years entitle him to just
and his ability to fill the
will be questioned by no man
who knows him- Mr. Cleveland
had no stauncher supporter in the
State than this honorable Demo-
and no man did more for the
National ticket than he. The
sledge hammer blows which he
dealt upon the Republican party
on almost every stump in North
Carolina last fall had much to do
with the signal victory then

see Mr. Henry given this appoint-
and feels confident in saying
that the place could not be more
worthily filled.

Mr. Hayes was generally liked by

those who did not enjoy that pleas
always, perhaps unconsciously,
associated him in their minds with
the methods by which he became
President, methods never to be
duplicated and never to be for-
given, which prevented their fully

which ho possessed. Although he

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Ex President Rutherford B.
Hayes died at his home on
18th, inst He became
dent as no other man eyer has or
ever will in the United
elected by a commission. This
circumstance has kept him from
being as prominent as the position
would have made him under other
conditions. It must be said to his
credit, however, that he did not
originate the plan, and did no
more, probably, than any
would have done-accepted after
being elected. He was a man of
character, and has been little
outside of his manner of
election- He was kindly disposed
towards the South stood
fairly well in this section. Where

To Our
At the beginning of this, another year,
j i t us to thank you for the liberal
patronage so kindly bestowed upon us
in the past and to wish that the
year may bring to you peace, plenty
prosperity.
Permit us also to congratulate you
upon the bright outlook which the future
presents. Cotton, our staple crop, is
now a living price, and a little
more. Most of you have sufficient meat
and corn to provide for you wants and
enough provender to feed your stock
you cm make another crop.
In addition to all this it has been
proven to the satisfaction of the most
skeptical that both our soil and climate
are adapted to the production of all
crops. We can make the
tobacco in the world, our peanuts class
with the best, our will hold its own
comparison with that raised
where, our potatoes are among the
est of the State and our yield per acre of
all these crops will average as well as
any country we know of.
Now with a diversity of crops and the
production of his own supplies at home
we repeat the future is bright and the
day is not far distant when the southern
farmer will regain his lost prestige,
be recognized as the most independent
trustworthy of any class of people in
this country.
There is but one thing we know of to
retard the progress of our people to
dependence prosperity. That is the
system of credit business which is
by many of our people. No man
can hope to make money who spends it
before it is made. After many years of
experience have arrived at the con-
that the only safe and
business is that conducted on
a cash and after careful
we have determined to place our
business upon that basis. BEGIN-
FROM THIS DATE WE SHALL DO
STRICTLY A CASH BUSINESS. WE SHALL
BUT FOB CASH AND SELL FOR CASH,
only, and we mean this in its broadest
sense. We shall keep no books and
credit no one. The benefits to be de-
rived from this system of business are as
great to you as they are to us. Because,
1st. Buying and paying for our goods
spot cash we are enabled to buy them
cheaper and you get the benefit of our
low purchases.
2nd. We can conduct our business
with less expense thereby sell you
for a less profit.
3rd. As we credit no one we have no
loss by bad debts and therefore do not
make you pay for what we lose by some
one else. And
4th. We can do business on less capital
and turn our money over oftener at a
smaller profit. All of which you get the
benefit of.
We trust our friends will approve of
our new method and give us the same
hearty support which they have accord-
ed i j the past.
We continue to handle a foil line
of Fertilizers and only such brands as
we know are reliable. Having had
many years of experience in this line our
friends can trust us to look well to then-
interest, and can feel safe that such
Guanos as we offer them have been
tested and have been proven to be
standard goods.

were kept busy supplying

You often hear people abusing the
railroads, calling them soulless corpora
grinding monopolies, oppressors,
tyrants, and all manner of hard names.
It is tune to stop that. Just think of the
suffering they alleviated last week.
Right here in Greenville there were fully
people who had comfortable fires to
sit by Saturday and Sunday, which they
would not have had but for the kindness
of the Wilmington Weldon railroad
officials. The same thing in

The River.
We have often heard older lo
speak of the hard winter of 1857 and of
going back and forth at will across Tor
river on the ice. Twice since then in
there has been quantities
of floating ice in the river that would
lodge and block tip the river for some
distance above, but not until the past
week has the river been solidly frozen.
There is so much current that the ice got
a footing with difficulty, but the railroad
bridge served as a good blockade for it
and held enough to stop the channel.
Ice from above came down against this
and froze together until it formed a solid
mass for miles and miles the river, we
have not learned how far. Hundreds of
people were down to see it Sunday and
walked all over the river with perfect
safety. Some went several miles the
river and returned. The river
covered with a mantel of snow, lined on
either side with trees under
burden of icicles made a
scene of indescribable beauty It may
be another generation before such a
sight is witnessed and but few are miss-
the opportunity of seeing it now.
