Record i The day of mortgaging lands, stock crops to buy supplies has passed in this section. Hereafter our farmers will make their own sup- plies and be independent- This is what we have been urging them to do for years, and while many of them have ridiculed advice, we are glad they are taking it. Editors may not know now to do things, but they are mighty liberal in giving advice, and it is generally good. A row and free fight took place in Ebenezer Methodist church, Weldon, on the 21st over a mar- that was to take place at the close of the services. The father and brothers of the young ladies objecting to the marriage and forced their way to the groom and then fight began. The sheriff who tried to prevent the disturbance was knocked down, men piled upon each other in the aisle and women screamed. When quiet was restored the couple were married by a justice instead of by two clergymen as intended. The disgraceful affair broke a revival which was being held in the church. DEBTS OF HONOR. Debts of honor, so called, are those unknown to the law and cannot be collected by legal process. Among them are debts contracted at the gambling table or in other forms of betting, and the security is simply that of in obligation of the same kind. Whatever the law regard as contrary to public policy comes under tin's bead, the law declining to assist in corrupt- the people by legitimatizing such transactions. In European countries the debts which Have only moral instead of legal are more numerous than in this country. A series of reports from United States consuls on this feature of the laws of foreign countries has been recently pub- in answer to a circular from the National Board of Trade- This circular asked the consuls to collect evidence as to what debts are not by law in the various countries and to state how they are generally paid. The an- reveal some interesting lo- cal customs. The general summary shows that though debts of honor are outside the legal pale they are usually paid in full, the penalty for refusing payment being that delinquent debtor is ed by the clubs and other which provide the means for contracting the obligations. This appears to follow the gen- rule, for in all parts of the world such debts are ordinarily paid, even though debtor is execution proof and refuses to pay what the law would otherwise compel him to pay. In Sweden bills are debts of honor, as they also are in Austria, while in the latter country a lawyer's fee that reaches the amount of the property in litigation has no stand- in court. China has a long schedule of debts of honor, among them being services rendered by physicians, dentists, priests, for tune-tellers, clairvoyants and and moneys loaned at rates exceeding the legal rate of inter- est- It is regarded as a disgrace to be a or to supply a drunkard with liquor, so that drinking debts are extremely rare- On this point the consul at says that when such debts do ex- the creditor is both ashamed and afraid to acknowledge the fact, and, as a natural consequence to take any steps toward the en- of his rights. In both Germany and France a man may be sued for a drinking debt- Few European bankrupts ever pay in full, perhaps because those who can do so do not fail in business. Bankruptcy does not relieve the Russian debtor, who must pay whenever he is able to do so. In Russia and Greece debts never outlaw. In France outlawed debts are seldom paid. In Belgium, of six hundred and twenty bankrupts in a period of ten years only twelve were rehabilitated- Though in many European countries the winner of a bet can- not enforce collection in the courts there are some exceptions to the rule. In Italy, the Netherlands, Russia and Spain the laws en- force the payment of bets made on athletic contests, such as foot- ball, cricket, racing, etc., the ex- being evidently made to encourage the athletic sports to which the youth do not take very kindly. The moral seems to be from all this, the less law there is in some instances to compel the payment of an obligation the more scrupulous debtor is to discharge it. There are few in- stances where gambling debts and others outside the protection of the law are not promptly met if it is within the power of the debtor. It is this that preserves the occupation, since if bid debt- ors were not held by something outside the law itself the debts would never be paid, and would not pay those who win. It is a peculiar state of fairs which shows men more will- to pay such debts than they are to pay those recognized by the Journal. MINNESOTA. The Reflector has received a copy of a pamphlet entitled A Brief Sketch of Its History, Resources and issued b authority of the Minnesota Board of World's Fair Managers.

When Requires A Man of Nerve. New Yorkers have recently been treated to a somewhat style of advertising which has been adopted by an itinerant jobber of horses and wagons.

C-, Sept, Senators Gorman and Palmer, at times this week took occasion to defend President Cleveland from the newspaper charge, which Senator Stewart mistakenly dignified by reading in the Senate, of attempt- by the use of patronage to control the legislative branch of the government. Of course everybody in knows as well as these three Senators do that President Cleveland needs no defense, but there may be elsewhere who are liable to be misled by constant reiteration of the charge. When Senator Palmer told Senator Stewart that if he would name one Senator who had been controlled by the President through patronage he would gladly join him in getting a resolution passed providing an investigation.

There was a spot of this shiny something here and there, in a line, and suddenly it came to her that it looked like scales, and she sea Then the others in the boat looked at it, and the conclusion was that a veritable reptile of the ocean was in sight. The men were for rowing nearer, to get a good view of it, declared they would die of fright if they weren't taken back to the hotel at once. That is, all but Lou. Lou wanted to see the serpent at closer quarters, and finally the rest said they were willing to go nearer, if the men would promise to row back the minute they told them to. Accord- the boat was headed toward the monster, and throe pairs of oars sent it merrily over the waves. All eyes except those of the oarsmen were directed upon the serpent, which did not scorn to change its position, but lay lazily on the water, the tops of its appearing more j or less distinct as the waves rose fell around it. let's go any pleaded one of the girts. might j charge replied Lou, aren't half near enough yet.

The Court of Honor at the world's fair is the center of architectural in- whether seen by morning, sunset or electric evening light, and the most conservative spectator can- not restrain his enthusiasm when this glorious sight first meets his eyes. The court surrounds the great basin and is bounded on the north, west and south by the build- of and Liberal Arts and by the and the Agricultural buildings while across the eastern end runs the magnificent Grecian with Its four rows of columns one hundred and fifty feet high, midway by a noble arch mounted by a the columns adorned by eighty-five allegorical figures which stand out bravely against the. blue waters of Lake Michigan and the bluer sky above. At the western end of the court rises the grand gilded dome of the Administration building and direct- in front of it the fountain, so-called from the who planned v it. The central figure of the fountain is a fine statue representing Columbia enthroned in a triumphal barge. rowed and guided by noble figures on side. and mermaids are sporting in the great lake on which the barge floats, and the numerous tall jets of water throw themselves at length down a flight of wide steps to the central basin. Opposite the fountain is a stupendous gilded statue of the Re- public, represented by a stately fig- of a woman sixty feet high with various symbolic devices. In the generous water space between the fountain and statue, electric and steam launches with gay awnings, also graceful gondolas, with oarsmen, are constantly ply- By sunset light, when the statues on the peristyle and other buildings are touched with a bright glow, or when, in the evening, the long rows of electric lights creep out one by One and are reflected in the waters, the scene surpasses anything that or tongue can describe, and impresses on the spec- a which shine brightly in memory as long as Y Ledger.

During the year 1891 two and five lives were lost we know in the United States, east of the Rocky mountains, directly through the action of lightning. How many were lost indirectly, and how many cases there were of shat- health and more or less per- injury, we can only surmise. The financial loss duo directly to lightning was certainly not below one and a half million dollars. To get at something like a commercial estimate of the damage done by lightning in the past few years, in this country, I have made use of the Chronicle fire tables for the six years 1885-1890, and find that some twenty-two hundred and twenty- three fires, or 1.3 per cent, of the whole number, were caused by lightning, and the total was i, or 1.25 per cent, of the whole amount lost by fire. During 1892 we have a record of two and ninety-two lives lost. The damage may be estimated at as high a figure as in 1891. These losses are the more appalling when we recall that the year is virtually Less than six months. Over ninety-five per cent, of the casualties due to light- occur between the months April and September. It is there- fore quite pertinent at this time to discuss the question whether or not we are lo to protect ourselves from lightning.

The older the Reflector gets the stronger it grows in the belief that there is something very much alike in people the world over. used to think that possibly no other paper had just circumstances to contend with that we did, an-1 that our people must be a little different from people elsewhere. Time and time again in its history has it met with complaint that this item or that item did not appear in the column, and many times we have ex- plained that in no instance was the to blame, as he was always glad to print such items when they came to his knowledge. We wondered why this was so, that people not make the slightest effort to bring an arrival or de- to the attention of the editor, and yet complain when such I not pear in being even so as to take offense at the omission. But we have learned that all papers have about this same trouble, and that people at one place are just like they are everywhere else. The best article we have read on this subject recently appeared in the Landmark. It Marriage Licenses. During September, Register of Deeds Harding issued licenses to the following J. Stokes and Mary E. J. A. Hyman and Ada Moore, Eddie H. Mayo and Bennie L. Harris, Walter Hughes Cox and Lizzie D. May, J. D. Blount and Theresa E, -d .,. personal column of the Land- mark is largely of interest to town read- and especially to the female portion thereof. As the ladies are the paper's bet we endeavor to please and interest them by gathering all the per- items Sometimes many are missed. People come and go we entirely ignorant of it. Then those people and their friends often- hurt; say they have been ignored for some reason and think the editor has a spite against them. Now this editor has his hands as full of business a did Matthew when he sat at the receipt of custom. He has no lime to meet trains or stand on street corners and watch for strange faces. He gets his information largely from friends who are kind enough to tell him about things. you have visitors, or some of the family goes off, or some of your relatives or friends die or get married, send the Landmark word. We will thank you for the and appreciate it. Some folks are too bashful to mention to the editor that they have visitors or are going away themselves, but they are not too bashful to abuse him behind his back if they are not duly he ever heard of it or not not being con- as excuse.

MOTE, Cl O- L- Proprietor Eastern Tobacco The time SM when Pitt c i-; with Ox and with s fair of respective To farmer there should be things very of which from point of view seem probable. Either these are trying to induce to to i . order I control most of he -is as they for y did, or they haven't got of to their as ours. If the first is true we have but what to a vi great it should stop S little, think a id eons the importance that their own interest in this Only a few was not strictly speaking a single tobacco ware house in East Carolina. The far- of the east were absolutely dependent on the Central Carolina markets in the sale of their leaf and hence, there were thousands of dollars spent ally in freight passage to these markets. This money now is saved and spent here in Pitt county, in the up building of Pitt county industries and the further maintenance of home in Another thing that should not be overlooked is the fact t prior to the establishment of to warehouses in Eastern Ca- if the eastern tobacco grow took his tobacco to a market to he was absolutely at the mer- of strange and buyers. If the tobacco did not what the farmer thought it was worth, he was ed to let it go at the prices or take at an expense a id ship it to some other market unless ho happened to be fortunate than most of the eastern farmers at that time i. soon take fell the tobacco he had to pay the expenses of freight passage over the lines that he mast go. In the establishment en- of eastern tobacco markets, the farmers of the east section should fee as deep, if not a deeper those who are directly connected with and managers of the markets on of this, if no other. If tho second true so near an axiom that it should be written with a conditional then the farmers of the east should carefully and closely read what a western has to say in this connection, namely farmers of Eastern North Carolina should feel a deep inter- est in the establishment of tern markets for the sale of their First, because the east- earn tobacco is whiter and more s than any other grown in the United St and already the largest navy manufacturing con- in the world are looking to North Carolina for their w lite wrapper, and the largest concerns in the country go there to buy their these tobaccos are sold on mar where red and dark tobaccos compose the largest per cent their value of course to a certain ex- tent is deteriorated, hence mar in their midst should be es- for the sale of their par tic kind of There is no question of doubt but that if the farmers of the east will aid the warehouse people in building up markets, it is only a question of very short time before we will have the in the world for the sale of bright tobacco. We have no objection the eastern firmer some of his tobacco on the different markets. By this he can the real value of his to and see what other mar- are paying for his kind. But there is one thing about which we wish to warn our farmer friends and patrons. Whenever you see a farmer in any community himself especially concerned in the advantages and good prices of other than his home market an-i abusing and running down home market, you may mark down as the paid drummer for particular market that has man- aged to work into his good graces, remember that some body's tobacco has got to pay this man. It is very seldom that such men ever exercise much in- but they make themselves very busy cause some who don't know them -to be influenced. We don't want to be in this matter and hence we repeat that our remarks are only intended to cover those whom we and everybody else have a good to believe is paid for s work. A man has a perfect t to sell his product where he pleases, and if in the sale of bis tobacco he is satisfied, binds din to exercise his influence in the interest of those who are his friends. versus that he has found the cure for it, which goes the name.

On such occasions he is L M apt to drop into the Southerner ,,. office, from force of habit twang an old and to gather the political home news. Monday after the re- porter had answered all Mr. Bat- questions, he took a hand at the interrogation end himself asked him about other alleged cures for the liquor and opium habits. do you think of them Mr. Battle was asked- To this he replied. from of other men, who been cured by it, I. of course, know the absolute and thorough efficiency of the Keeley treatment. Of other alleged cures I know nothing. My heart, though, says if they will cure the terrible prosper them- If not, they are frauds of far-reaching you haven't answered my question fully, Mr. the reporter persisted. He laughed and answered am somewhat like Zeb Vance in his reply to regard his stand on the prohibition question. His heart was with it but his stomach was against it. I have told you how my heart stood. My judgment is more critical. Let's analyze. world was nearly nineteen before an efficacious and harmless remedy was found for the curse of alcoholic and opium addiction that had touched the world but to blight and destroy, years of investigation, that grandest of human tors, Dr. Leslie E. Keeley, a safe sure relief. For some time before, he had been e cures, but in April, 1880, he opened his Institute at Dwight, , to which the afflicted flocked from all parts of the country and left redeemed from their cures were the marvels of the age and attracted the most relentless, hostile criticism of the profession. Tho cures have con- for over twelve years, until the mark has been about reached, disarming the critic by the infallible test of time- With- out solicitation, or hawking, on the part of the Leslie E. Keeley Co., levelheaded, cool, business men, for thousands of dollars, each, bought State rights to ad minister tho remedies and Keeley institutes under the authorization of the parent com- at Dwight. The Govern- adopted the right to use the remedies in homes. European syndicates sought and purchased the rights. The efficacy of vaccination itself has not been more thoroughly established- course Dr. Keeley and his company reaped the fruits of the grand discovery in a most em- financial way. let us go back a little. all these centuries of fraudulent remedies, sprang up like mushrooms, were widely advertised, and, like all false claimed victims and then died from the ken of men. profitable success will have its counterfeits. It doesn't pay to attempt to simulate the false and unprofitable. And so it is with the Keeley cure. There have been by actual so called cures palmed off on the public. Many have gone down ; none longer than to defraud innocent victims and for a short while. It seems to be only a question of a short time with any of them. there are several of these alleged in North Car- to-day. Now, to answer your question, Mr- by asking another- Isn't it a little singular, that, considering the best equipped chemists in the country have expressed their in- ability to certainly analyze Dr. Keeley's remedies, men should be able to reproduce them a most wonderful coin- that these people should also discover that the fluids should be of the same color as Dr. and should be administered in quantities, at the same time and in the same way Dr. Keeley has con vine ed the world that alcohol and opium, taken to excess and con many of them have guaranteed a cure before they have ever had a patient- the name of the prophet who will guarantee the The reporter added Battle, don't these alleged cures, as you call them, claim to have stopped men from believe they do, but any doc- tor can do that.
