IN 1896.
It is not strange that I hear
Vice President Stevenson more
and more frequently mentioned
among Democrats in Congress as
a desirable candidate for the
Presidency in 1836, for he wins
friends all the time, right and
left, by his courtesy and kindness.
For years the of Vice
dent has been held by men who
made themselves popular by be-
courteous kind. Every
Vice President since Andrew
Johnson has had this reputation-
Mr. Arthur, Mr. Hen d ricks and
Mr. Morton were particularly
thoughtful and considerate of
every one who came in contact
with them, officially or personally.
It was thought that no one
excel Mr. Morton in kindliness
or politeness when he departed,
every of the
Senate his personal friend; but
really Vice President
does seem to have surpassed him,
and that, too, without having the
wealth which enabled Vice
President Morton to entertain so
generously as well as graciously.
None of his immediate
not even the amiable and
genial Arthur, had a more
personality than Mr. Steven-
son, and he has taken pains to
all his admirable
ties in making a friend of every
body he has met. Although dig-
appearance and manner.
Vice President Stevenson is ab-
and demo-
He has never shown the
slightest symptom of what Frank
used to call
that curious mental or moral
disease which enlarges the head
and effects the eyesight and
sometimes the tongue in the case
of men elected or appointed to
high office. He is just the same
man to-day as Vice President of
the United States, with only one
life between him and the
he was when he came
to the Chicago convention in
1862, not knowing that he even
mentioned for the Vice
nomination- Strangers who
have never met him are naturally
more impressed by his charming
manners than those who have
known him for years. They go
into his room behind the Senate
chamber, perhaps a little nervous
at the prospect of meeting the
Vice President of the United
Stats, possibly the first they have
ever seen, and they come away so
delighted with the man they have
met that they have almost forgot-
ten that he is the Vice President.
He never fails to thank a stranger
for honoring him with a call, nor
the friends who brings him for
giving him the privilege of see-
Press.
NOT DEAD YET.
At a tine when the good men
of both parties are congratulating
one another upon the disappear
of the old bloody shirt issue
a discordant note is sounded by
Judge W. who
hits not yet forfeited his leader-
ship of quite a large contingent
of bloody shirt republicans.
Judge declines to be a
candidate for the republican con-
nomination in the
district, and his main reason
is the alleged disposition of the
republican party to abandon its
old policy of attempting to
the south by aiding the
to establish their
nation in the localities where they
are in the majority. The
intimates that this is the true
mission of the republicans, and
that they will be defeated if they
depart from it.
this brainy republican,
whose sword and pen have been
devoted to a crusade against the
south for a generation, appeals
to his party to return to the
of the war period and rec n-
times, it is a sign that
the old bitter south-hating
is not dead yet. When oar
opponents faced a united demo
they discreetly thrust the
war Issues the background and
made a show of confining
fight to the economic problems
of the day. But the prospect of
a divided democracy has
the republicans, and Tour-
war cry will resound through
camp like a bugle blast sum-
them to the fray.
The democrats who imagine
that domination and
net election laws are things of
the past will find themselves mis-
taken if they actively or tacitly
encourage the building up of a
third party. Our enemies know
when to hide the bloody shirt
and when to hoist it, and Judge
talk means that they
are so confident of victory next
time that they are getting ready
to against a solid north
against the south.

character and should be made to
work by the State. There should
be some law under which every
man should be required to earn
his bread by the sweat of his
brow. Of course this does not
apply to who have sufficient
means to enable him to live with-
out work, but, in every

who have no means and yet they

have to eat and wear clothes, and
if they do not earn these things
themselves, somebody has to
work and earn them for them.

A SAVING IN PENSIONS.

Notwithstanding this,
asserts the News, it is quite

that the economy practiced has

On last Wednesday afternoon
the south bound freight train
knocked a colored man named
Jordan Hardy off a trestle, near
and killed him. The
man was under the influence of
and asleep on the side
of the stoop-
position with his head rest-
on his knees near the track.
The train was on a down grade
running at a speed of about
twenty-five miles an hour. Just
before it reached the trestle some
cattle started to cross the track
ahead of the train. Conductor
Jones was riding in the cab with
the engineer at the time and be-
ringing the bell, while
King blew the cattle
for breaks and began
slacking speed. Two of tho
were on the pilot in
front of the engine. The
of all the crew was so
with the cattle that no one
discovered that a man was on the
further end of the trestle until the
train was in less than fifty yards
of him. Sitting in the position
the man was he could not have
been but a short distance.
As soon an he was engineer
King reversed his engine, applied
the air brakes and did all in his
power to stop the train, could
not stop in time to save the man's
life. The man was living when
picked up and placed in a car but
died before Ayden was reached.
Thursday morning Coroner
Warren was notified by Cannon
Wilson, a colored man, that the
family of the dead man desired
that an inquest be held, and be
also made an affidavit that there
was criminal negligence
with the killing. The
went down that night and be-
the inquest and Friday after-
noon he bad the freight train
stopped here until he could ex-
the crow and complete the
investigation. Several witnesses
were examined here, their
being very much as we
have given the particulars above.
The jury in their verdict attached
no blame to engineer King, but
found that conductor Jones was
of negligence for not being
at his official post of duty on the
train and not having the brake-
men at their proper positions on
the cars, and required that he be
placed a justified bond of
one thousand dollars for his
at September term of
Pitt Superior Court to answer
such charges as the grand jury,
may bring against him-
tor Jones promptly gave the bond
and took or, his train after being
delayed nearly seven hours here
by the investigation.
The general opinion of the mat-
so far as we have learned, is
that no blame whatever should
be attached to of the crew of
the train for the killing of
Hardy, and it is not believed that
the grand jury will find any bill
at all against conductor Jones.

attention has never
been paid by our farmers to this

especial attention to topping to-

The fertilizers manures that

for the plants to get the benefit
of it and the crops have been

from the fertilizers during the
light rains that have come about
once a week since the tobacco
crop was As a consequence
of this a great deal of the strength
of the fertilizers has not as yet
been used. Ii. the meanwhile a
great many tobacco plants now
need topping and in fact there
are whole crops that were set
early that are now large
to top. The tobacco looks strong
and vigorous and shows there is
under it holding it up

to keep the plant from
turning yellow and spindling.

valuable leaves on the stalk.
Again it will not do to neglect
the young or replanted tobacco
that is growing in the same row,
for if you do that will amount to
nothing. So we repeat cautious
judgment must brought into
practice. The hoe should be
plied and diligently to the
young tobacco that cannot be
reached with a plow. The ridge

thoroughly dug up with each re-

roots, or feeders they are called,
to hold grow in. In

the farmers leave this ridge

is set till it is cut. The manure
; and fertilizer that is in this hard
soil into which the roots of the
plant have never penetrated does
no good in the world and is a
gross waste. Just think of It,
there is a great deal more of the
fertilizers and manure in the fur-

ridge in broken kept loose it

of good our
part are much better than in other
sections of the State.
From the old tobacco sections of
this State and Virginia comes the
news that the farmers are plant-
less in acreage and trying to

be practiced by our eastern farm
and especially should the to-
grower in Eastern North

COLLEGE.
Facts About the Great Charily Founded
by Stephen
Some interesting facts may be
gleaned from the last annual report
of the board of directors
with the care of college.
January 1894, there were 1,561
boys In the college, and there were
applicants for admission on the
list. Boys are admitted be-
tween the ages of six and ten years,
and they must leave the college at
eighteen years of age. The average
age of those admitted during the
year 1893 was eight and a quarter
years and of those dismissed six-
teen years, showing an average of
seven and three-quarters years of
maintenance education for each
pupil. Mr. in his will,
scholars who shall merit
shall remain in the college until
they shall respectively arrive at be-
tween fourteen and eighteen years
of age; they shall then be bound
etc. Progress in the school-
room is deemed the only proper
standard of merit, and all pupils
who become eighteen years of age
and fail to reach the fourth school,
after from five to nine in-
will be required to give
place to those on the list of
for admission.
The provision in the founder's will
that boys of a certain grade shall be

dead letter, as according to the re-
port only one was indentured as an
apprentice, but Were granted
permission to leave in order to ac-
employment. The total of net

Maw an Hour Ki-
from it Without i
AM Wind.
A reporter for the Mobile Regis-
accompanied by who is
a mechanical engineer, went out to
Magnolia cemetery to see
Fowler working on his flying ma-
chine. Upon Inquiring the way, a
high fence about an acre
of ground just outside the cemetery
gate was pointed out.
On entering gate the visitor
saw an enormous network of wood
and win that seemed jumbled up in
Inextricable confusion. The ma-
chine Is eighty-five feet from bow to
stern and fifty-three feet from tip
to tip of wings. The wings have a
gradual slant upward from the
The bow slants gradually up-
ward until within ten feet of the
end, when It curls up like the bow
of an canoe From the
to stern i an almost straight
line with a slight depression. Mined
to the stern is the rudder. The
is about twenty long, ten
feat at the widest place, tapering to
a fine point. A simple turn of a
crank will throw the rudder either
way or up down at When
it is worked up and down throws
the bow up and the pressure of the
air will raise the machine. The pro-
is a wheel ten feet in diameter,
covered with canvas. The pro-
polling power Is furnished by
pumped into the cylinder and ex-
by a spark from a single-cell
battery. The whole machine weighs
only five hundred and twenty-five
will give a pressure of
teen horse power, which will give
the propeller three hundred
per minute.
Fowler claims that the propeller-,
without any assistance from the
wind, will give a velocity of sixty
miles an hour. John said he had
been watching the buzzards flying
for years and had studied their
methods of rising ground,
and it was really from them that he
got his Idea of starting and soaring.
A pair of common wagon wheels,
and fifty or one hundred yards of
level ground are all that ho requires
for starting, as, like the his
machine must gather velocity before
leaving the ground. He says he Is
going to practice In the environs of
Mobile when it Is completed, until
be has time to remedy any defect
and get the entire control of his ma-
chine, when he will make a trip to
New Orleans and thence to Wash-
where he will present the
machine to tho United States gov-
John said that he did not
want the name of the bird mentioned
from which he got his Ideas, as he
thought the buzzard was not a very
elegant bird.
He stated that the people, here
thought him a fool, and that ho built
a boat last summer to show what a
fool could do. He went from here
to New In his little boat,
running an average of ten knots.
On his return he encountered a
storm, which proved that the
boat could pot be swamped, as ho
threw his oars, rudder and sail over-
board and let himself washed
shore.
The idea of building a flying ma-
chine has been In his head since he
was a boy, when he made a model,
but has never since attempted to
carry out his ideas, but has confined
himself to studying the methods of
WIRES.
What Causes the Singing of the
graph Wires.
You have all heard the humming
and singing of telegraph and
phone wires as you have passed the
poles along tho streets. No doubt
you have concluded that it is caused
by the action of the wind on the
wires and given it no further
thought. But it is not true that
the singing is caused by the wind,
and if you are at all observing you
will notice that often the humming
sound is to be heard on cold winter
mornings when the smoke from
chimneys goes straight up until it is
lost in the clouds and when the
frost on the wires is as fuzzy and
thick as a roll of chenille fringe.
The wind has nothing to do with
tho sound and, according to an
scientist, the vibrations are
due to the changes of atmospheric
temperature and especially through
the action of cold, as a lowering of
temperature induces a shortening of
the wires, extending over the whole
of the conductor. A considerable
of friction is produced on
the supporting bells, this inducing
tho sounds both on the wires and
the poles.
When this humming has been go-
on birds have mistaken the
sound for Insects the poles,
and have been seen to pock with
their bills on the outside, as they do
upon the apple and other trees. Tho
story is told of a bear that mistook
tho humming noise as coming from
a nest of bees, and clawed at the
polo tore away the stones at its
base In the hope of finding the much-
coveted Journal of
