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.

It's brat we've ; Then times ain't good, And they'll come round I The command in the Bible that we should labor six days is just as imperative and binding as that we should rest on the seventh- The man who does not is to say, is not en- gaged in some useful employment daring the six days, just as much violates the commandments as the man who labors the seventh day. No man has a right to be idle and the man who re- fuses to work for a living and beats a living out of his neigh- or kin folks is a despicable 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 can be found able-bodied men who have no means and yet they spend their time in loafing. 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.

The purging of the pension lists and a stoppage of the less disbursement of the public money in this direction, remarks the Baltimore News, was one of the first duties imposed by the voice of the American people upon the Democratic The evil had, indeed, become a crying one, and was so recognized by many of the Re- publicans themselves. gratifying, therefore, is the statement made by the Pension Department that on the beginning of the next fiscal year, there will be returned to the Treasury of the United States the large of which represents the in the con- duct of tho bureau since the be- ginning of Mr. Cleveland's term. Commissioner just be- fore he left office, was of opinion not only that no money could be saved in this department, but that the appropriation to pay pen- was inadequate. His Commissioner shouldered the responsibility, however, and has not only avoid ed a deficiency, but has turned back into the Treasury the large of money already named Notwithstanding this, asserts the News, it is quite that no worthy soldier of the late war has been wronged, and that the economy practiced has been only at the expense of the undeserving who wore enjoying such a harvest under the Republican regime, the ex tent whose extravagance, had it no man could have reckoned.

There was a certain amount of money to be raised for the support of the Government, the question was where and how that money was to raised. The Senator from Ohio said, put the burden on sugar, the Senators from New England said put it on manufactured goods, the Senators from Now York said put it on the col- cuffs that the poor wear. His idea was that in imposing the burdens of taxation the heaviest portions should be put upon those best able to bear them, the light- est those least able to bear them.

Could the Town r ins mi e persons from loitering church doors during hours of worship t This would either i make the loafers go n. 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.

As we said in beginning this has been an extra- ordinary dry Spring and Summer. The fertilizers manures that were used under not only tobacco but all crops have not been wet sufficiently long at any one time for the plants to get the benefit of it and the crops have been gradually growing only feeding 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 for there has just been to keep the plant from turning yellow and spindling. Now suppose the plant is topped leaving just the of leaves it that you wish to let remain jut about the time you get it topped a rainy wet season sets in. A rapid artificial growth will lion carried on by old gentlemen be the result the of helium days for from them , pant topped the strength we always learn something j manures will be forced into that is not only bat Ufa remaining leaves and unless able information, we it topped sufficiently high it will grow a coarse bony leaf whereas, if it was topped from two to four leaves higher than Another new warehouse has been in Richmond and will be used we by the Davis Gregory Co. The tobacco crop in eastern N. is not now so good it was a year ago now but if we have favorable seasons from now on there is no reason why we should not raise a fairly good crop. Mr. H- Hays writes us from Chase City, that the crop up there is a very one and is growing very slow indeed. He says the prospects point to a late dark crop but nothing definite can yet be determined. The acreage he says if any change is made will be decreased- A very destructive hail storm passed through the western sec- of this country and a portion of Green a few days ago. Mr. D. M.

John Peebles, and it will be one long by every one of the few friends that ho had invited to take dinner with with him that occasion. Taking everything in- to it was one of the most enjoyable days that we ever spent. Though in the main the guests were very much older than we, ranging from to years, yet it is always one of our chief pleasures to listen to a listen with great, pleasure and the respect to these silver haired fathers whose history Bounds more us real pages of romantic fiction. As we said to begin it will be a day long to be remembered, for without an exception every one Seemed to be getting his full quota especially the many good things set for dinner. BE CAREFUL IN A word of warning just now to those whose tobacco is large enough to begin topping full will not be out of season. Every body that up to now this has been one of the most extra- ordinary years that we have ever had Eastern North Carolina so far as the tobacco crop is con- In the first place we have had but very little rain the entire Sum- mer. In fact on account of the dry weather a good many farmers had to a good deal of their that they had prepared for tobacco in corn and a good others had to wait so for their plants to grow that our crop is very much behind what it usually is at this season of the year and the crop also is very spotted some hills mid some small ones in the same field. This you to remain on the stalk by close watching and attention at this time you can easily tell in a short while the number of leaves the stalk will bear and as soon as this is discovered the surplus top loaves should be immediately plucked out. thus giving the strength of the manure to the leaves you leave on the .-talk. Very careful should be given the plant in plucking the time for as surely as you get it topped too high just so surely will you have green tips this year, just as surely you will get little for them. On this account and because of the importance attached to topping tobacco at all we call especial at- at This year says the North Caro- Experiment Station has been a very hard one on the farmers, have had all kinds of weather and the seasons generally have largely against a good crop. This is especially so of tobacco but we of Eastern North Carolina should be contented when we compare our condition with that of the tobacco farmers in other sections of our own State- While the tobacco crop is not as good as ii t lit would been under more condition of the crop calls for a . . i i circumstances yet our shrewd exercise of judgment in . , J . th a.

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 I between the plants should be thoroughly dug up with each re- working so as form a mellow ; bed for the young and tender roots, or feeders they are called, to hold grow in. In about the proportion of to the farmers leave this ridge l broken from the time the tobacco 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- row the plants than and unless this ridge in broken kept loose it from now on and with the 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 crops. This should be practiced by our eastern farm and especially should the to- grower in Eastern North Carolina become a prudent, man in the management of his tobacco crop- Four Big Having the needed to more than make good all the advertising claimed for them, the following have reached a phenomenal Dr. Dr. King's New Discovery, for con- and Colds, each it- tie Bitters, the great remedy for Liver, Stomach and Kidneys- Salve, the best the world, and Dr. King's New Life Pills, which are a public pill.

An Alarm Clock in a Player's Pocket, Placed There by Hie Wife. about the peculiar uses to which alarm clocks have been said a business man to the Pittsburgh Dispatch reporter, know of none more ridiculous than a that I witnessed. There are several of us, all friends, who join in a little game of poker every now and then. The game usually becomes more interesting than we expect, so all limitations of time are set aside. It was all very well for us fellows to get borne at four o'clock in the morning, but one of the number had a wife waiting patient- for him. and while she was not opposed to her husband having a I friendly game of poker she did object strenuously to his i coming home at such hours, in moderation all things. The oilier night we were all deeply inter- j in a which had j tallied respectable proportions, when suddenly we were surprised by a continued ringing of a bell, the sound apparently coming from our married pocket. He threw down his hand with a laugh, and, delving into his coat pocket, produced a small alarm clock. looked on in amazement, but our was convulsed with laughter. Finally the bell stopped ringing, he I forgot to tell you about it. I tried to ex- plain to my wife how the great in- I took the game made me forgetful of time, as an ex- for my late home-coming, when, to my surprise, George, if you Can't remember when It's time to Come home I've got a way to remind you of She said nothing more, but when I left the house this evening she put this alarm clock In my pocket, I've set it for half-past one; I think that's late enough for any man, so there's M Of Joined In the laugh, but it did not last long, for George got up from the table, boys, I'll have to be off; there's no excuse Inasmuch as George was in seventy-five dollars on the game this information caused all our faces to grow long. But George went, notwithstanding our strong appeals for him to stay. When we were left alone we passed our views upon a wife who could in- vent such a as that, when her husband was win- 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 is apparently almost a 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.

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 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 The man.
