We Senin seas Mr. Charlie Moore, a
son of Elder Thomas Moore, of Snow
Fill, attempted suicide -on Tuesday
night. The particulars as they come
to us are that young Moore had been on
a spree for some days. Just: after sup-
per Tuesday night he started to leave
the house and his father asked where | gt
he was going but received no reply.|¥
Not returning promptly his | father
called a few friends together and. insti-
tuted a search for him. They found
young Mocre hid in some bushes near
the Baptist church and he stated to}
run off as they approached. When
they caught him it was discovered that
the young man had a terrible gash on
the left side of his throat and two stabs
mm his lett breast. His condition is
quite serious but his recovery ~is hoped
fur.
NEEDS IMPROVING.
People are Complaining at the Con-
dition of the Road and Ferry.
anette te
Mr. Worrell Moore, of Carolina
township, was in town to-day and
asked the RerLEcToR to enter a pro.
test for him against the terry at the
river and the road leading to it.
for a great many years, but does not
remember to have ever got here under
worse disadvantagas than to-day. The|
ferry itselfis bad enough, not being
sufficient for the needs ot the people in | qs
getting across the river without much
delay and hindrance, while the road
leading to the ferry is in such miserable }
condition as to be almost impassable,
Mr. MooreTs complaint is about the
same as is heard from many otherT peo�
ple. ~The ferry road ought to be put in
a passable condition and enough hands
should be put on the bridgeT to hurry
the work and get it ready for use. The
trouble pédple are put to in getting
across the river is very annoying.
No Meeting. ..
Last night was the'time for the regu-
lar monthly meeting of'the Town Coun-
cil, but absentees broke ~the quorum
again and preyented the transaction of
business. Well, the services of the
absentees will not be needed much, lon-

Higgs Brothers of Greenville have been
so successful in business. They have
opened a banking house there with am-

Monday and yesterday were gala
days for the strawberry shippers along
the line or the Wilmington & Weldon
railroad, scoring the largest shipments
which ever left North Carolina. Mon-
day the shipments reached over 9,400
erates, and yesterday it took a train of
thirty ~cars to haul the strawberries,
which amounted to over ten thousand
erates. They were packed in the large
Calitornia transportation cars, and it

A Bad Wreck.
There was a very bad wreck on the
Norfolk and Carolina railroad near
Palmyra Tuesday morning about 7
oTclock.
Two through freight trains, one of
the Southern railroad going north, and
one of the Nurfolk and Carolina going
south, one of 35 cars and the other of
36 cars, collided. The engines were
demolished and thirty or, forty cars
splintered but no one was seériously
hurt.
Rumor had it that the engineer on
the Norfolk and Carolina train disre-
garded orders to stop at Palmyra, think-
ing that as the SouthernTs
train was a little late he could make
Hobgood before meeting it. No trains
passed all day Tuesday, but passenners
and baggage were transferred and

Right and Left Limbs.
The. physiologists. and scientists -in
general have been making some curious
experiments with a view to determine
the relative length and strength of
oright� and oleft� limbs. Fifty and
nine-tenths per cent, of the men meas-
ured had the right arm stronger than
the left; 16 4-10 per cent. had the two
arms of cqual length and strength, and
32 7-10 per cent. had the left arm
stronger than the right. Of women
46 9-10 per cent. had the right arm
stronger than the left; 24 5-10 per cent.
had the left stronger than the right.
In order to arrive at the average of
length of limbs, 50 skeletons were meas-
ured, 25 of each sex. Of these 23 had
the right arm and left leg longer, six
the left arm and right leg, while in 17
cases all the members were more or
less equal in length."Home Queen.

HE ASKED FOR BUTTERMILK,
eel
the Joys of the Farm.
oHowTs the buttermilk?� asked the
tired man; and the weary waiter looked
the ennui he felt as he answered:
oChurned fresh every hour.�
oWell, now, give me a glass from the
llast. hour, and lét her be full,� said the
night edition, smiling as if memories
/haunted him, and never seeing a line of
all the black type which tried to startle
buttermilk fresh from the churn, and
the big, staring headlines were as blank
vaper before him. The weary waiter
disturbed his reveries.
oButtermitkTs all out, sir.�
He said the osir� as one who follows a
vacant form, and meant nothing by it.
oITm sorry,� said the tired man, tak-
ing coffee and sandwich"of course"
and still conjuring up pictures of the
country.
oGreat thing when you're tired,� said
he, smiling, and looking past the weary
| waiter and the coffee urn, and the blank
wall beyond. oLa! I can hear the soft
shug of the churn dasher yet when the
butter is coming. Gets lighter then,
and splashes inside, and the yellow
drifts wash down from the hollows in
the lid, and you hit twice half way and
once clear down, and"butterTs come.�
The weary waiter smiled without re-
leasing his stare at the street, silent in
midnigcht darkness.
oAnd they put the buttermilk down in
the springhouse in a great big jar, and
the water swishes around it, and thereTs
a board on top, with a stone to keep it
down. And Sunday morning you curry
the horses and turn them out on the
clover pasture, and dive off the bank in
the river and take a wash, and put on
« clean hickory shirt and your Sunday
clothes, and lay down in the shade of
the apple tree in the long, soft grass,
and catch the wind from the woods and
the music of the cow bells far away"
and then you think of the buttermilk.�
oThat's right,� said the weary waiter,
as he rearranged the sugar bow! and
spoonT holder,
oAnd you go down and dip it up with
a big tin cup, and-drink it in great big
swallows, and the other boys come in
and we all sit there and drink and talk
of the tough times we are having, and
chatter about the girls, and josh each
other about going home with them
from meeting, and after while dinner is
ready, and we go in and eat fried
¢hieken and mashed potatoes, and bis-
cuits and custard pie"� "
oU-m-m,� said the weary waiter, fer-
vently.
oAnd then again along in the after-
noon,� resumed the tired man, owe get
oti there when the sun isdown, and we
have anéther éupful, and the whippoor-
Ayjl_js, booming from some place up in
the clouds, and the katydid is ielling of
the frost just. six weeks ahead, and the
éattle are standing along the barnyard
fence, with the smell of fresh milk in
~the meilow air, and the tin cup has yel-
it again and drink"�
/oOr in the harvest field, � said the
Dl veliry: waiter. |
oYes, when the women folks send it
out in a jug, with a slab of ginger bread
~in the long forenoon, and we take great
swallows"�
~ oAnd sweat--� |
*°oAnd sweat, and buckle down with
Shock to shade the buttermilk"�
oAnd a rain comes up, and we run for
the barn.� The weary waiter stood
erect, and smiled delightedly. .
oAh, yes! Ah, yes! That was life,
after all,�
~The tired man took his check to the
desk and waited outside for an owl car
to come along; but all the time he was
thinking of that mellow neetar, which
mingles the ncids and sweets of rural
eestacy, and all the tired insistence of |
his journey home could not impress the |

rose, both in time and in country, is
probably given in its name. This un-
doubtedly comes to us through the
| Latin from the Greek orodon,� a word
which is now agreed to be, in the wider
sénse, oriental, not Greek. But.to which
of the two great families of language it
belongs is less certain, Heyn main-
tains it to be Iranian"that is, of the
Aryan family"of the older tongue of
Pcrsia and Bactria; and Persia might
unquestionably put strong claims to be
the true native country of the rose.
But Prof. Skeat, who has the majority
of modern authorities on his side, de-
clares it to be a pure Semitic word"the
Arabic oward,� a flowering shrub, thus
denoting the flower of flowers par ex-
cellence. It is worth noticing that the
Persian word ogul� similarly meant at.
first only a perfumed flower, but has
come to be used of the rose alone. oUt
rosa flos florum sic est domnits ista
domorum� is the emphatic way in
which the inscription ever the lovely
chapter-house at York claims itas being
the very flower of architecture.
But theories, however, of the name
agree with all other indications that we
of the rose, much as that of our earliest
forefathers, in the central or western
central distriet.of Asia; but, instead of
spreading only in a westerly direction,
the rose took, apparently, a more
catholic view of the earth, and ex:
panded impartially east and west, with-
out showing any reluctance about longi-
tude, while disliking the more violent
changes of temperature implied by an
extension of latitude. It has been
found by travelers as far south as
Abyssinia in one hemisphere and Mex-
ico in the other; but it. never seems,
voluntarily, to come very near to the
equator. Northward, however, noth-
ing seems to stop it, since it has con-
quered Iceland, Greenland and Kamt-
chatka. .
oIn Iceland, so (in)fertile in vegeta-
tion that in some parts the natives are
compelled to feed their horses, sheep
and oxen on dried fish, we find the rosa
rubiginosa, with its pale, solitary, cup-
shaped flowers; and in Lapland, bloom-
ing almost under the snows of that
severe climate, the natives seeking
mosses and lichens for their reindeer
find the roses maialis and rubella, the
of a sweet perfume, enlivens the dreari-
ness of Norway, Denmark and Sweden.�
