It is much better for the country, as well as for each individual man, that every man should be possessed of a feeling of good will toward others and be free of oppression, and have an interest in the country, to see it prosper, and be blessed with a respect for his ob- ligations and a desire to discharge them and the ability to do so.

For it is a great snare to be rich and fraught with much danger because the rich become haughty and oppressive to the poor, and deny the Lord God. Yet most people would like to be rich. It is such a temptation. pride and are some of the factors God commands men to labor six days. Of course tools, to aid a man labor are needful. But not to relieve man of the duty of labor- Labor-saving machinery has been rapidly multiplied with- in fifty years. Take for instance the methods of transportation in- within that period. Fifty years ago there were no railroads in my native county. People did then seldom travel far. It was too laborious and con too much time. Hence they as a rule remained at home and labored and saved money Now railroads are pie can travel great distances in a short time, and much of it is done- Now a man spends ten dollars if he travels a day by rail- road. In this one item of travel- ling a thousand dollars perhaps in the aggregate is spent one was spent then in Railroads are a great convenience.

Now this greatly cheapens manufactured products, you But it also tempts people to more. For the cheaper an article is the more of it people purchase. And as soon as men think they buy an article cheaper than they can make it they are inclined to cease producing it and buy the same. These goods, too, are of a poor quality often and therefore still more are purchased. But how will they pay for it They can not pay for it because this labor saving machinery takes away their occupations, and they have nothing to do, or cease to become producers, but they remain con- and as great and often greater consumers, than if they were laboring. For idle men con- more than laboring ones do. It is to the interest of any state or community that all its citizens have some useful occupation.

But as they come into contact with traders and spectators they, not being with their arts of traffic, become the sufferers.

They can also issue or print paper or notes and bills of credit, but these are always redeemable- That is, tho is bound to pay out money-gold or the holders of these upon demand, these notes would become worthless. Is the Devil Loose When one takes a calm of the world's doings he is that most nations do not end in the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah. The devil seems to be loose, stalking abroad in the land, high of all he surveys, and whom he may It is a terrible hour for all nations, because no ruler knows when he retires at night whether his kingdom or re- public will be standing in the morning. The undercurrent of dissatisfaction is flowing madly through the feelings of all the people, from the highest to the lowest- The millionaire is not only worried to know how to get the balance of the earth, actually has fears, and just ones, for his own personal safety ; the poor picture of poverty sits down among the ashes of bis miserable hovel and wonders how he will manage to keep soul and body together, and his wonder- lead him into a shimmy and delirious sympathy with the throwers, and anarchism takes possession of the poor low.

A full account of the dramatic demonstration of the virtues of the by Dr. Moor, the discoverer of the treatment, was recently given in the Herald- On that occasion Dr. Moor fear- offered himself as a sub by swallowing three grains of morphine, the effects of which he immediately neutralized by taking in the presence of a dozen physicians a dose of four grains the antidote. of the witnessing were so fearful of the result of the experiment they mediately left the room rather than place themselves, as they expressed it, the attitude of but the trial was abundantly successful, and the fearless demonstrator no ill effects whatever. experiment was for the purpose of confirming the result of Dr. Moor's test, and the subject selected was a small dog which had been picked up in the street by one of the students of the class- test the efficacy of the anti- dote to the most extreme limit Dr. administered to the animal on Monday a hypo- injection of four grains of morphine, the equivalent of many times that amount administered to a human subject. the case of Dr. Moor the was immediately, but in the experiment on tho dog several minutes wore permitted to elapse to give the poison time to take effect. the case of the dog an effect directly contrary to that produced on the human subject was ed, for the respiration immediate- increased rapidly and the ac- of the pulse was greatly ac- Finally tho animal frothed furiously at the mouth, and evidences of the approach of dissolution became apparent.

The Year The following explanation will show why the year 1900 will be counted among the leap The year is days hours and minutes long ; minutes are taken every year to make the year days long, and every fourth year we have an extra day. This was arrange- You may do these minutes come They come from the future, and are paid by omitting leap year every years. But if leap year be omitted regularly every years, in the course of years it is found that minutes taken each year will not only have been paid back, but that a whole day will have been given up. So Pope Gregory XIII, who ed on Caesar's calendar in 1582, decreed that every year divisible by four should be a leap year after all. So we borrow minutes each year, more than paying our borrowing back by omitting three leap years in three years and square mat- by having a leap year in the fourth year. Pope Gregory's arrangement is so ex- act, and the borrowing and pay- back balanced so nicely, that we borrow more than we pay back to the extent of only one day in Record. A few months ago the New York Sun called attention to tho fact that in all former periods of hard times great religious re- accompanied them- It went on to say that the absence of any religious awakening the present depression show ed that the people were hopeless and had lost their faith in God. At the very time tho Sun made this statement Chicago was in the midst of a great revival, and the church papers reported similar meetings throughout the south and west. The wave has at last New York and Brooklyn, tho newspapers speak of it as the deepest and strongest that has occurred in forty years. The Boston Journal says since the black years of disaster, 1857, when congress last made an attempt to force out of the tariff, have the New York Brooklyn churches tho wage com- ready to sympathetically to great religious truths. Meetings are now being held daily in forty Brooklyn churches. Mission stations and houses of refuge and rescue are thronged. never says the Rev. Dr. Mac Arthur, of Calvary Baptist church greater spirit of religious en- than now exists in Dr. Gregg, of tho of the Lafayette avenue church, formerly of our Park street, corroborates Dr. MacArthur's statement Dr. Robert thinks that this renewal of fervor in the midst of the business distress merely the human heart's instinctive cry of help attribute it almost wholly to tho says Dr. stocks go down religion goes Several of tho evangelists who are laboring in Brooklyn testify that tho awakening is the most general and remarkable their It is not certain that these con- are tho results of hard times, there is the awakening. A Boston expresses the opinion that the movement has started because the time has come for an of religious development, he predicts that the first twenty-five years of the twentieth century will show an advance of religious thought and feeling not dreamed of now. For more than a we have devoted ourselves to pro- along certain intellectual and material lines. Nothing would be more natural than to see a reaction. Perhaps in the next few years there will be as much general interest in religious mat- as our people heretofore felt the material affairs of life. At all events, it is safe to say that the Sun was wrong when it intimated that the great body of the people no longer looked to God for help times of distress and disaster.

Large bottle Boo, and THE SENATORIAL i ION, The North Carolina of the New York Tribune furnishes the following gossip on tho political situation the first since was firs elected Sen- Micro h a been open avowed opposition to him for more than a year. Thomas J. Jarvis is a candidate for Senator, and has been laying pipes, fixing up his fences forming alliances over since the last election. Tho ox-Governor has many strong friends through- out the during his sojourn tho executive office of years. Within tho last year the Wilmington and Weldon rail- road has added ex-Gov Jarvis to its lists of and this company will all its influence to secure his election. To the efforts of ox- Jarvis this company owes its escape from a burden of taxation that would have well- nigh forced it into tho hands of a receiver. The branches of this company ramify Eastern Carolina, and Senator will find an opponent in every county, where heretofore ho has been without opposition. Jarvis was quick to support Vance on the silver made headway against Ransom by this action. In every county there will be a struggle between Ransom Jarvis over tho nomination of candidates for the Legislature. Ransom is a strong man and has been invincible. He will make a desperate struggle this year, and will have tho assistance of the Richmond and Danville Railway through Colonel A. B. Andrews, the general agent of that corporation. Andrews is a leader of great ability re- sources, and if victory be snatched from defeat ho is the man to do tho snatching Ho boll and ally succeeds.

It is very evident that dent Cleveland has no idea that woman suffrage is to prevail to to any general extent at an early day, nor tan he anticipate being a candidate for office again when the infant of to-day becomes a voter. It is said that at his try-weekly afternoon receptions in the White House there are numerous women present who take along their progeny to get the President to kiss them, but when invited to do so he obstinately refuses to extend the greeting. Of course every woman thinks she has the prettiest baby in the world, and it is useless to add that leaves the reception with a feeling of keen disappoint- over the President's failure to kiss her own little cherub. But Grover the line kissing just the same. The spectacle at Washington of wrangle over who should be nominated for office and whether they shall be confirmed after nomination is such as to create in the minds of most people a doubt as to whether the methods of filling various offices is a wise one or not. It has about come to this, that the Senators from each State must suggest all the appointments to be made from his State and no one must dare inter- with this assumed prerogative, not even a majority of the party to which he is indebted for the position that enables him to lay- claim to this autocratic power. The appointing power must so bow his will and if exercised to the contrary he defiantly takes issue with such and says will see that you are made to respect my wishes. I will do this by up your appointments as de- feating them for On the other hand the appointing power says must confirm my appointments or I will cease to make any in which you are inter- and so it goes, you do this sir and I will do that; you fail to do so and I will show you What a spectacle for statesmen, so called, to exhibit to the country Is it not as to the expediency of the methods of filling positions President and Senators are most too far removed from the people. They should remember that the boast of this country is that the people We know of appoint- that have either been hung or failed of confirmation which if they had been left to the vote of the party would have received at least a vote in favor of confirmation. On the other hand we know of instances where the party have almost demanded that be made and yet there are no indications that such appoint- are even in contemplation, but those who ever opposed every interest of the party arc still reaping the emoluments of the offices with no prospect of removal. Yet we are a of the people, for the people and by the people. It is getting time for some pie to learn that a public office is a public trust not a position given to advance personal ends. It behooves the Democratic party to tactics a little at the capital and fill the offices with men whom the voters at the last election demanded should be placed in these places. It is now about twelve months since the present administration assumed control of the government and in many communities not a single Federal office has been filled by a Democrat, but the same men pointed by a go in and out before tho people with an air that is chilling to Democratic proclivities. So far as legislation id concerned, much has been done and there is little cause for complaint, but the people demand that the offices filled by Democrats, and it is high time that tho President and Senators shall subordinate per- preference and work in attending to this all important matter. Unless they do this and do it irreparable injury must inevitably result to the Democratic party. There is not much time to act to be in time for this years elections. ii We heartily rejoice and send congratulations to Mr. John B. Sherrill, editor the Time and Secretary of the North Carolina Press Association, upon his as postmaster of Con- cord.

I was impress- ed the beginning with the business activity displayed by the citizens and the growing enter- prises are developing into fields of industrial wealth. Fore- most among the latter is the to- trade, which recently has developed large proportions and promises for the future the chief crop of commerce in the country. Two million pounds for this season have been sold at an aver- age price of cents, making the neat sum of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars distributed among the people. Two large warehouses are in daily operation buying, selling, shipping, etc. This county thus fa-, I am inform- ed, shows the best average both in grade and price of any market, either in this State or Many costly and handsome adorn the and please the eye, and many more are in course of erection, and the moral, social and industrial advancement of Greenville is second to none. Situated in the heart of this thriving town is the In- conducted by the clever and experienced manager, Mr. Andrew Joyner, which tees a cure of the opium, whiskey and tobacco habit. The success thus far attending this worthy effort to assist our fellow men to a higher and nobler existence, I am pleased to say is meeting with astonishing success, and the good citizens recognizing its influence, exerted for the common good of nil, are prompt in their response of sympathy and aid.

W. B. WASHINGTON LETTER. our Regular Washington D. C, Feb 1894. Democratic Senators are with the progress made by the sub-committee on the Wilson tariff bill, although they would, of course, have been glad to have had the bill reported to the full committee this week. However, the time spent in getting the bill in proper condition is not time lost. Every Democratic member of the Finance committee, Senator Vance who is away on account of his health, has been in almost constant conference with Senators Jones, Vest and Mills, who the sub-committee, and when the bill is reported to the full committee Jones thinks it will not be later than next it will in reality be ready to be reported to the Sen- ate, as all the changes made will have received the approval of all of the Democrats on the Finance committee. Sugar seems to be the principal stumbling block, although there are several other articles upon which there are in opinion. But all of the Democratic Senators agree in saying that the indications are to a harmonious agreement. It looked early in the week as though Representative Blond's bill for the coinage of the would go through without any serious trouble, but he made several ineffectual attempts to cure the unanimous consent in the absence of an order from tho committee on Rules to set a time for closing the debate. The opposition not only refused to consent to set a time to vote, but it notified Mr. Bland that the friends of the bill must make their own quorum when they did vote. Ex Speaker Reed became so in his opposition to Mr. attempts to close the debate that Mr. Hatch, who was in the chair, had to call for the Sergeant-at-Arms before he could get order. Mr. Bland was mad. Representative Bryan, of Ne- is going on a tariff reform and silver speech-making tour.

When the American flag is hauled up by the order of a Democratic President it will be hauled up under cir that will keep it where it is, until the winds of heaven have beaten it into rags.

A right good incident is told on one of the circles of King's Daughters, of this town, and we trust we are not giving away any of the good secrets by telling it- They had a meeting a few days ago at the home of one of the members- Among other matters discussed by them the information that a woman in the country, who had been one of their special charges and had died a week and her little children were left entirely destitute.

We cheerfully give most of our space this week to a letter written by M. R- Bowman to the Rich- Times in which he dissects and shows the injury of the Free Leaf in a forceful and way. Mr. Bowman is one of the largest tobacco dealers in the country and his position has given him opportunity to become thorough master of the subjects he handles. Let every farmer read his letter. FREE LEAF TRAFFIC. Letter from Mr. of Lynchburg. The rapid growth of the traffic in free leaf, and the proportions that this trade has already ed, has awakened some interest, even created some alarm, the tobacco trade. And some are being put forth on the part of some of the trade to bring this matter to the attention of Con- and to the repeal of this clause of revenue law. Yet, as compared to the far reaching and vital importance of the sub- the interest manifested is slight and the efforts being pot forth to correct the evil and avert the damage that is being wrought to interest involved in the tobacco industry planter to are limited and feeble- By this I do not intend to insinuate that the efforts w have been and are now being made are lukewarm and feeble in kind, and that the various committees and individuals which have this matter to the commit- tees of Congress are not earnest, zealous exponents of the of the bodies that they represent, and able advocates of the cause they have in hand, but I mean to assert that the efforts are not, in degree nod extent, at all commensurate with the vital of the subject- The traffic in free leaf, under the pro visions of the revised and amend- ed law of 1890, has gone into channels and assumed never, in my judgment; contemplated or anticipated by the patrons and original of this measure- Whilst there is a great latitude in the letter of this bill, as applied to the sales of leaf tobacco, yet I am almost sure that the spirit and intent of the provisions removing all restrictions from the sale of leaf tobacco was that the farmer or producer might the privilege of disposing of his product free from tax. I venture to assert that the whole of the real intent of this measure on the part of its advocates is couched in first clause of sec- of tho net of October 1890, which is as follows all provisions of the statutes imposing restrictions of any kind whatsoever upon form- and growers of tobacco, u re t the cf leaf tobacco, the keeping of books and the registration and the report of the sale leaf tobacco, or imposing any tax account of such sales, are hereby And I am frank to say that in so far as this provision was in good faith really designed as a I benefit and relief to the producer, it was proper and commendable. As a benefit to the grower how- ever, it is inoperative and a failure inasmuch as the farm- not as a rule, to any no extent availed of its I am quite sure that it was in no sense designed as a re- lief and benefit to the dealer and trader in leaf tobacco, nor do I believe that free leaf was con of in the interest of the consumer- If the latter be true, and it was designed in part as a relief and a benefit to the con- sumer, as giving a cheap chew and smoke, then as a logical conclusion, it would be the proper and just thing to go father and remove all restrictions and all taxes from all classes of tobacco. No, it was never thought of in any light, or predicated upon any principle except as a direct or indirect benefit to the farmer. Whereas, and in point of fact, it is, if not directly, certainly detrimental to the interest of the farmer, for the plait reason that the sale of non-taxable leaf demoralizes and disorganizes the manufacturing branches diminish- es the prosperity and ability of the manufacturer, who is the natural and reliable customers for the farmer's product. This is not a theoretical view and far- fetched reasoning and a strained conclusion, it is a plain, practical view of the matter. It is a limited and superficial view of the subject to conceive that it affects only the of tobacco ; it injuriously a large and important class of industries unnecessary to and enumerate, which furnish a vast amount of supplies that en- into the manufacture and of tobacco for the mate trade; it also immediately concerns a large population of operatives and laborers who are dependent for their daily sub- upon the existence prosperity of the numerous now operating throughout the country. And at the risk of appearing to the advocates of this free-leaf indulging in absurd propositions, I repeat and affirm that it is already, and if not corrected will ultimately be vitally injurious to the farmer's best interest. Intelligent farm- can comprehend and this proposition, and if the farmers could induced as a class to give this subject their consideration and attention, it would the proper thing, and I venture to say the safe thing to do; to commit the whole matter of correcting this evil into hands. I looked at this subject from the standpoint of its effects upon the tobacco general tobacco interests. As to the revenue feature of the subject, I have only to say brief, that it does seem inconsistent that Congress should now be plating and agitating the question of an increased tax on tobacco to meet the necessities of the government, and have most unmercifully increased the tax on one class of manufactured product, should still hesitate to repeal this free loaf bill, which is already so seriously diminishing the revenue from this source, and which has no good and real in justice, expediency, or good will to any class. I regard the sale of free, non- taxable leaf for consumption as a serious and grave menace to the future weal and prosperity of the general tobacco industry of the country. If, this view of the matter, I should be regarded by any as unduly and extravagantly magnifying the evil, let the fig- speak and indicate the of subject. It is as- that whereas there were only three dealers in raw leaf prior to the passage of this free- leaf clause in 1890, number has increased to about thirty thousand- With an increase of about three hundred and sixty- one in the month of November. Contemplate this ratio of tum and calculate the result in tho near future. I am not treating this subject and giving these views from a manufacturer's standpoint, for I am not a manufacturer, but ply as one interested in the pros- and health of the tobacco industry of the country. Every branch of the trade and every interest involved should arouse and move in solid column to Wave this evil corrected by the prompt repeal of this free leaf and have the law so amended us to entirely prohibit the sale of taxable leaf for consumption. A Living Tobacco Stalk. Mr. W. G. who lives out between Elon College and brought us a green stalk of tobacco yesterday that grew in the chimney corner outside, from a root three years old, and has grown a good plant of matured tobacco for three years. The stalk he brought us has not been killed by frost this winter and looks about as fresh as if it was News. A STORY. Strange Discrepancy. Auditor forthcoming report will contain same tables which will cause a good deal of talking and thinking in this State- One table will show the assessed value of property in the country and the towns upon which the taxes are collected. Another table will show tho value of the same property as by the owners to the census takers in 1890. It is said that the amount as given in to the census people is twice as great as that on which taxes are paid. There is food for thought in this paragraph. Why should there be such a difference in the value of property when the taker and the tax assessor come around Wouldn't the tax rate be low if every man made an honest return What do some people do with their consciences when they return their property for taxation There is more stealing, more cheating, and more done right here, anywhere else, and that too for only a small sum of money comparatively. If a man were to devote much time to studying the tax returns we fear he would be an convert to a belief in the total depravity of man. Strange as it may seem most of this evasion of the law is among men of largo estates who could more easily pay the tax re- quired. This is a fit subject for a text and the Times would be glad to have tho preach- come to its in awakening men's consciences Charlotte Times. CHAPLAIN OF THE HOUSE. Something About the Young Man Re. Elected to This Office. Rev. Edward B. who was recently elected to be chaplain of the house in place of Rev. S. W. who died after a brief occupation of the is a very young man to occupy so a position, though Rev. W. H. the blind chaplain of the senate, was chosen chaplain of the house when but twenty-two years of age. Rev. Mr. was born September in King and Queen county, Va., so that ho is but little more than twenty-eight. He was reared in Richmond, obtained his education at Aberdeen academy, the Kentucky university and the Yale divinity school. This young Virginian, enlisted in Christian work as a representative of the de- nomination of the Disciples of Christ, found his first charge along the line of the Chesapeake Ohio railroad, ministering to the people of Clifton Forge and Sinks Grove. From these little churches in these towns he went to Newport News to preach, until he became en- gaged in evangelistic work among many which he visited to conduct revivals. In April, 1891, the Vermont Avenue Christian church, Washington, built a chapel on Capitol Hill, and called upon Rev. Mr. to conduct a revival meeting to awaken interest the undertaking. At that meeting about one hundred converts were added to the church, and the interest aroused has been so maintained under the ministrations of the young pastor that the Ninth Street Christian church numbers, with two and one- half years of existence, mere than four hundred members, including a very large body of active Christian Endeavorers. Mr. is tall, dark, slight and beardless. He does not wear clothes of ministerial cut, and he does not wear a white tie. His voice is soft and smooth, and ha uses it without dramatic effort in prayers of the simplest character, none of which are Weekly. It Might Have Been Worse. The maddest man in county has been found by our correspondent. He lost a flock of geese lately and consulted a um as to their whereabouts. To do he drove sixteen miles in a cold snowstorm and was told on arrival that the desired information would be forthcoming on payment of one dollar. This information, when he got it, was that the geese had been stolen and dressed for market by a certain man who was named. The owner of the geese then drove home vowing vengeance and determined to punish the thief to the fullest ex- tent of law. His wrath was not assuaged, only turned in a new when, on driving into his own dooryard, he was met by a hiss from missing fowls as they filed into the yard from an adjacent swamp.
