POTATO BUGS.
The Colorado Potato Beetle,
has
become so troublesome in the
Southern States as it has North
and West. But this is not be-
cause there is any thing in our
climate to the spread of
this pest. Tho beetle has not be-
come very abundant because
recently only the early crop of
Irish potatoes has been
grown in the South and
that matures too soon to be
damaged by the beetle,
he lack of food during the rest
of the year has prevented the in-
crease of the insects. But the
rapid increase of acreage devoted
to late potatoes will afford the
beetle the needful opportunity to
increase and multiply, and it is
liable to become a ruinous pest
unless growers take heed in time
and guard against it- Just at
present tho Black Blister Beetle,
is in this- section more trouble-
some than the Colorado beetle.
Both these pests are destroyed by
the same means and at tho same
time. The one simple, cheap and
efficient remedy for the two
to beetles is

GIFT ENTERPRISE JOURNALISM.
What is going to be the end of
the remarkable competition for the
attainment of mere ephemeral
by many of the news-
papers of the day If this goes
on at its present rate the time is
not far distant when a great many
of our esteemed contemporaries
will have abandoned all the old
and legitimate features and
poses of a newspaper, and the
question will not be which of them
can best record current events,
but which of them can offer the
most attraction to the curiosity
hunter or the seeker after some
paltry prize.
The enterprise feature in
journalism is a confession that
the newspaper employing this
method to water its circulation
cannot stand on its own merits.
The logic of this is so obvious
that the gift newspaper loses more
in its permanent standing than it
gains in temporary circulation by
coupon cutting.
Advertisers ask what benefit
can accrue to them from copies of
newspapers purchased bulk for
the sake of the coupons and then
to the Readers
who are saluted every time they
open a paper with announce
of votes for tho most pop-
policeman or of alluring gifts
of valuable articles turn from
them in weariness and disgust,
and sigh for time when the
fakir and cheap jack were not the
controlling power in journalism.

were supposed to be cured by

But it is quite another thing
when the children of our own pub-
schools believe that to touch a
toad will cause warts, and that
when such warts appear tho pro-
per way to cure them is to tie a
bit of toadstool with red thread
upon the afflicted hand for three

Death to Potato Bugs.
Charlotte Observer.
A gentleman of this city,
who
had considerable experience with
the various ways of exterminating
the Colorado potato bug says the
following is the best and cheap-
est way to dispose of them To a
peck of finely sifted wood ashes
add about two heaping table-
spoons of Paris Green and mix
thoroughly. Put about a quart
of the above mixture at a time in
an old flour sifter and walk
the rows of plants, gently
the over the rows as
you so that a light shower of
the mixture may fall on plants.
When so treated, vines which
wore previously infested with
thousands, scarcely show a single
bug the next day. A second
plication within a week may be
needed to dispose of such as may
afterwards hatch out. This plan
is and as good as any.
Governor Carr did tho wise
thing in ordering out soldiers
enough for James City to awe the
defiant and show them that re-
would be folly, and he
did the proper thing in
them himself. Being on
the ground enables him to take
in the situation more readily and
to give counsel and direction to
movements in case of need. His
presence will also have a good
effect on the lawless element by
convincing them that he means
business, and also on the soldiery
by showing them that he does not
order them to go where he is not
willing to go himself- . From the
beginning of this the
Governor has acted discreetly,

President Cleveland was pres-
in Chicago on Monday and
took a prominent part in opening
the World's Fair. He returned
at once to Washington.
A Weldon correspondent of the
Richmond reports the
assignment of T. T. Gaskins, the
largest lumber mill owner in Hal-
county. He carried on an
extensive lumber business and
had twenty miles of railroad con-
with the mill.
An examination for positions in
the railway mail service will be
held in Washington City on May
9th. North Carolinians desiring
positions as route agents can
stand these examinations if they
go to Washington at that time.
Standing the examination does
not guarantee a position, however,
but qualities application
for one and gives
where there are vacancies.
It has been intimated that
tor Jim Cook, the fellow that
writes in languages for the
Concord would not at-
tend the Press Convention at
last week because he
was afraid to go there while the
James City affair was unsettle.
Give Jim a chance to acquit him-
might have been

other fellow we know of.
W. H- Pace, Esq. a prominent
lawyer of Raleigh, died last week
in that city. He had cancer of
the mouth attacking his throat
from which death resulted. Mr.
Pace was sou-in law of Col.
Heck. He graduated from Wake
Forest College about fifteen years
ago and was making his mark in
life. He was just in the prime of
his manhood and had a bright
future before him. His many
friends all over North Carolina
will be grieved at the announce-
of his seemingly untimely
death.
As announced in the Reflector
extra, last Wednesday morning,
the trouble between the James
City at and Mr.
J. A. Bryan was settled by the
agreeing to pay monthly
rentals ranging from cents to
a month for three years, and at
the expiration of that time they
have the privilege of removing
their houses from Bryan's proper-
Leases were prepared and
the greater part of them signed
before the troops were ordered to
withdraw. While the settlement
of this trouble proves expensive
to the State, it is a relief to every
one to know that it was adjusted
amicably and without any shed-
ding of blood- Mr. Bryan is now
in p of his property.
The course that Gov- Carr took
in this matter was wise
and gives him an exalted
in the estimation of the
people.
The Association met at o'clock

Nearly all of the prominent
officials went over to New York
this week to see the .
naval review, the largest affair of
its kind that has ever taken place
in American waters, and they are
all glad they went, for they saw
what none of them probably
ever see again-
It seems that all the cranks and
fools are not dead yet. Last week
as Mr. Gladstone was returning
to his home in London, rumor
has it that some one attempted to
take his life- A pistol shot was
fired and the man who fired it was
afterwards arrested on Mr. Glad-
stone's step by a policeman. He
also shot at the officer and made
a desperate attempt to escape
rest- The strongest evidence
that the shot was directed at Mr-
Gladstone is a note book found
in the prisoner's possession with
such phrases as the
home bill has passed

including the car

Considerable indignation,
very just, has been expressed over
a horrible murder committed at
Denmark, S. C, last week- A
little girl had been outraged by a
man. Several suspects
arrested but none of them proved
to be the right man. A
reached a man named Peterson
that his name was being
with the deed whereupon he
fled at once to Gov. Tillman and
plead for executive protection.
Instead of giving this protection,
which it seems ought to have
been the first impulse of any sen-
man, the Governor sent the
man back to Denmark for the
matter of his guilt or innocence
to investigated by a mob
ready wild with rage- During
the examination the little girl and
her brother both testified that
Peterson was not the man who
committed the crime, yet when
the father of the outraged girl
weeping the murderous
mob became so infuriated that
they took the innocent man out,
swung him to a limb, and filled
his body with bullets. Horrible
murder Every man who had
hand in that awful crime ought
to receive the fullest penalty of
the law for murder, and Gov. Till-
man to ought impeached for
recklessly throwing away the life
of a citizen of his State. The
affair is a blot upon South Caro-
record that cannot be wiped

ed their gold into the Treasury
without question, because of their
confidence in the government,
which they thought in need of
the gold to tide over t temporary
difficulty, but the Wall street Shy-

would turn loose the lying

other members of the Cabinet, ex-

THE ORIGIN OF SNUFF.
What is the origin of snuff is
buried in the past This much
however, is pretty certain, and
that is that it was first used by
civilized races as a medicine- The
first mention of snuff in the liter-
of China is in the Imperial
Book of Flowers of 1450, and in
earlier oral traditions it is alluded
to as neutralizer of foul
remedy of head diseases,
and it was then worth per
ounce. It was in the second
age of the great and only
Coin that he discovered
the natives in Hispaniola, in the
year 1494, inhaling the tobacco in
powder into their nostrils through
cane half a cubit long, which
purges them very as his
companion, Roman Payne, quaint-
remarks in the chronicle. He
uses the name for the
plant and it is a pity that this
name was not retained instead of

Application was made by

their predecessors, the same to be

the other simply a storage room

PARADISE.
In Washington a man may
place his good old pipe in
his shapely mouth and walk
around town smoking according
to the dictates of his own con-
science, none daring to make him
afraid, says the Washington News.
It is not so in all parts of the
countries. There are places where
such conduct would bring him
police surveillance, and
cause him to be by so-
There has long been a deep-
rooted prejudice against the pipe.
A man might appear in public
smoking a cigar that would cause
horses to swoon three blocks away
and nobody would say anything,
but if he smoked a pipe on the
streets his social doom was seal
ed.
Reason however has assumed
her majestic sway, the
barriers of superstition and con-
the armed hosts of
dice, and as a result the man who
smokes is happy.

FOUND A RABBIT'S FOOT IN A
KM.
Some years ago a big shipment
of one of Winston's famous plug
brands went to Laurens, S- C-
Among the lovers of the brand a
that point was the sheriff of
county and one day he found
in tho center of a plug
a rabbit's foot. Having heard of
the good luck which clusters about
that animal's pedal extremities
the Sheriff prized the foot very
much and had it dressed up in
gold settings and began wearing
it as a watch-charm. Shortly
this the election came on and
all the odds were against the Sher-
He had faith in his rabbit
foot, however, and pulled through
safely. Not only this but ever
since he began wearing the mys-
tic charm he has been successful
in every election and other con-
tests and says that he would not
part with the rabbit foot, so mys-
found in tho plug for
anything.
Commenting on the above a to-
man remarked, incidentally
that Mr- Stevenson never had his
confidence in the late election re-
shaKen after he left Winston
last Fall with the famous rabbit
foot in his pocket- He also stated
that on the night when Corbett
hipped Sullivan he had conceal-
ed under his close fitting tights
the left hind foot of a North Caro-
rabbit.
