That is because they know nothing of any other. Who can tell what the coming days trill bring forth And now what hope is there for a poor It is said the price of is going diamonds Sun. Why, buy them on credit. Panama, has Macedonia out of the public eye. A Chicago woman is u man for stealing a from her two years ago. That has lost its sweetness long since and is not worth having back. The man with the wood is the one moat demand now. This time it is ghosts exciting tin- people of Patterson, N. J. Ghosts are preferable to anarchists. The newspapers throughout the country are commenting over the man who cured him- self of consumption by walking from San Francisco to York. All unite in advising the cure for disease. And the cure is as good for business as for disease, and better. The hustler succeeds where the drone or the careless fail.

But not knowing, there danger monkeying with the other fellow's game. We sincerely sympathize with Editor J. P.

No question about his right to do so if the reason is sufficient. traveled over about farms in Pitt said Mr. Andrew Joyner yesterday, I'll tell you nearly all the cotton is not only picked, but sold. Even the farmers have sold their crop. I would not afraid now to buy January cotton at Post. Seeing the success with which has met, the revolutionists of San Domingo lied to the United States for recognition, but the leanest was turned down. Raleigh is about to get more than she voted for-two dispensaries in- stead of one. Prof. Bassett continues to hold down the chair at Trinity. The republican party find an elephant on its hands before the Panama job is completed. The other day the recorder of Charlotte adopted a novel yet way of finding vagrants. His court was in session and there was the usual number of loafers in attendance. The recorder ordered a polios officer to go through the I crowd and question each one per- us to his meant of support. The crowd in that court room show- ed a wonderful thinning out before the policeman had finished his round of inquiry. A suit is on in Harnett county that strikes us as being a very silly one. The sheriff of that county with a deputy was taking four prisoners from Harnett to Person county to work the public roads of the latter. At Durham the sheriff pa rebated six second class tickets to and upon asking the which car to board pointed to the second class end of the conch for colored people. Upon taking their seats the sheriff noticed the car was marked and he asked the conductor to allow them to go in the second class car for white people. The conductor , , u i r r It looks like not a few will have to told him ho and his could . i rm i n i j take rooster for Thanksgiving din- go in the white car but j- i and imagine its turkey. could not.

The state made a law providing separate coaches for the colored people and i they have no right to go in the for whites. We can't Bee i hat because in question were prisoners in charge of white officers it should give them any right to be carried in the car for white people. Be it said to the credit of a Pitt county jury that it declined to give damages in a suit against a railroad, there being grounds for damage.

It is noticed that the poor down- trodden farmers have little sympathy for the poor of the towns when it to In answer to the complaint that the cost of living is too high, Bro. Joe the philosopher of the Greensboro Record, comes to the scratch by saying it is extravagance that causes the seeming in bank accounts after a settlement with the grocer and landlord and wood-hauler, and gives the figures to it. He says that in 1870-71 these prices was a barrel; now it it country meat cents, now it is to sugar was now it is and t; coffee sold for while the same grades are and kerosene oil was cents, now it is Wages during these years were I a the common laborer cents a day, while carpenters ran from to f 1.75 for tho best of them.

The farmer no longer be com- to haul bis cotton to town as soon as it is picked and accept what- ever price he can get for it. In- stead, he could store his cotton in a warehouse, borrow on his warehouse receipts such money as he needs, and hold the cotton in his warehouse until he can get a satisfactory price for it. Under system the profit of the cotton market would be reap- ed largely by the farmer himself, rather than by a few wealthy in New York and Liverpool. The South has outgrown the pres- system, as it has outgrown its dependence on the North and East for all manufactured articles. The Journal looks to see large warehouses established shortly in all the pal cities; warehouses which shall issue acceptable to the hanks and trust companies and which shall enable the farmer to realize money at once on his crop without sacrificing it to greedy buy- FIVE When Chicago gets through with her city railroad strike there will be something else doing. Something of the inanity to his race can be judged by the scene at Goldsboro, where a poor, sick man was driven from home by those with whom he lived and was found in the woods almost frozen to death.

Only a few days ago we read of a young woman, in an case of being taken to the state hospital in the hope of gain- administration but had to be turned away. The state is doing a great deal for education, and even talking of spending hundreds of thousands dollars in enlarging the capitol, while unfortunate whose reason has been dethroned are neglected. Thia is a shame to the state. Cotton Warehouses. Says the Scotland Neck Common- wealth. The Atlanta Journal argues for cotton warehouses in the South where farmers may store their cotton and borrow money on it rather than sell it at whatever price prevails just at tho time they must have a little money. The South furnishes a large part of the world's cotton supply and it ought to have the control of its own product. The Journal pointedly the South bad a regular system ware A meeting of the board of tees of Trinity College has been call- ed at Durham Dec. 1st, to consider matters growing out of the Bassett article. It is also rumored that Prof. Bassett has already written hie resignation which will be in the hands of the trustees at their meet- It is presumed the trustees will lose little time in accepting the resignation. Mrs. Carrie Nation is on the war path again. This time she is do Washington. She went to the white house where her persistent efforts to see the president led to her forcible by two police- men. Then she went to the capitol and created such excitement in the senate gallery that policemen again took charge of her. The next scene was in the mayor's court where she was. allowed to pay a fine of 8-25 for disorderly conduct. Although the democrats in the senate condemn the rash haste in recognizing Panama and his gross blunder in publishing a discarded part of his coming mes- sage in which he threatened they will support a treaty if the president sends to the senate. Their assistance is because the republicans have not the two-thirds maturity, ed for the ratification of a treaty. Senator Bacon of Georgia expressed the general opinion of his party col- league when he said, majority of the democrats do not intend to permit the president to put them in. a position which can be considered as antagonistic to the canal I have, no doubt the republicans would he very glad to see the democrats that position, and it is a very safe rule in politics as well as in war, not to do what your enemy wants you to At the same time he declared that our govern violated every recognized principle of international law and every obligation of one nation another with which she was at peace, by recognizing Panama almost be- fore news of the revolution, reached Colombia.

The editor of the Record has had the good luck of recovering his pocket-book, which was stolen last month at the state The only thing missing from it is the one bill that was in it, as the thief was afraid to attempt to use the three small checks that were in it, and the other contents were receipts and papers of no value to, him. The pocket-book and was found and kindly returned by R. A. Grubbs, of Lynchburg, who is em- ployed on the train service of the Norfolk and Western Railroad Com- He found it in the coal box of a coach that was used on an ex- train to Raleigh during the fair. The thief had thrown it there in disgust after finding only one in it. This is the second time that the editor's pocket-book, has been stolen and returned, which is quite a coin- ,, The other time was in when Bryan spoke at Charlotte on his tour of this state.
