RAINS OF MANY KINDS.
- Besides the drains which North
Carolina is sustaining trom the
immense purchases of fertilizers
from outside sources, much of
which might easily be saved by
the farmers making their own
omanure, and the Life and Fire
Insurance drain, which takes a
million dollars annually oat of the
State, there are many minor
odrains which sap our resources
and areatax upon the wealth and
progress of our people.
Itig not what & man or nation

: oNorth Carolina is full of nature's
present and lasting prosperity.
But what benefit is it that these
resources exist, that they may be
made to vield up their varied
wealth to the efforts of our people
if after these developmen:s are
made and wealth secured, it is
thrown away by our people buying
from outside places that which
can be made at home?
It is by looking after these
drains wpon our resources, by
gaving and by making the little
things count that our wealth will
increase.
What will it. amount to if our
farmers raise great crops, and it
4:kos the movey of these crops to
pay for the fertilizers that produce
them ?
What does it benefit and protect
our people if they pay one million
ddjlars more each year than they
recoiye from their fire and life in-
surance policies ?
And it is also in our minor mat-
ters that drains occur. Our people
gend away for all kinds of articies
that may be purchased from bome
merchauts.
Malions of dollars are sent away
for articles that can aud should
be manufactured within our own
borders.
It is these drains, one and all,
that so coustantly abserb what
our peoples make, and th» State's
vast resources are being sent
away to eurich other people aud
other sections.
There is a need of eaving, of
stopping these various drains
upon the energy and labor of the
people of North Carolina; if there
is to be any accumulation of
wealth in this State. There is no
need of so much labor and so little
accumulated wealth. }

fifth street, died yesterday in
Belleyue Hospital of nicotine
poisoning, caused by excessive
cigarette smokixg. ae
Young Merkt began the habit
in the usual way, aud experienced
the initiatory sickness, after get-
ting oyer which he cultivated a
taste for cigarettes that grew
upon him rapidly. That was sev-
eral years ago. After leaving
school he went to work as a bar-
tender in his fatherTs saloon,
where there was always 4 plenti-
fal supply of cigarettes.
His father noticed George's
| growing fondness for cigarettes,
and in order to break him of the
habit, discontinued their sale in
his saloon. The son when un-
abie to go out for himself, would
press every chance visitor into
his service to secure them.
Eventually the father grew
more vigorous in his restrictions,
but even this failed. Then a
physician warned the young man
that to continue the yice would
be to court death. This, like the
admonitions of his father, passed
unheeded in the desire to inhale
poisonous rolls of paper and to-
bacco, and a short time ago the
habit took such a hold upon him
teen packs a day.
It was noticed a few days ago
the boyTs nervous manner aod
inability to attead to his daily
affairs, watched him closely, and
then called in a physician. ~The
doctor, after looking at the boy,
shook his head and made the
same observation that had been
made many times before; that the
young man wouli die unless
jome means were adopted to
break him of the vice.
The climax came vesterday
morning. Deprived of bis cigar-
ettes, young Merkt broke into a
frenzy, and to preserye the lives
of those in his home, 1t was nec-

Jabe Mathis, of the Thirteenth
ey
one day when the Confederates
were retreating from the gory
geld of Gettysburg Jabe threw
his musket on the ground, seated
himself by the roadside, and
exclaimed with much vehemence -
oTil be dashed if 1 walk anoth -
er step- lTm broke up! I can't
do 1t.�
And Jabe was the picture of
despair.
oGet up, man,� exclaimed his
captain; odonTt you know the
Yankees are following us? They'll
get you sure!�
oCan't help it,�said Jabe; oI am
done for. I'l not walk another
step!�
The Confederates passed along
oyer the crest of the hill, and lost
sight of poor, dejected Jabe.
In a moment there was a fresh
rattle of musketry and a renewed
crash of shells. Suddenly Jabe
appeared on the crest of the hill,
moving like a hurricane and fol-
lowed by a cloud of dust. As he
dashed by his capiain, that officer
yelled :
~Hello, Jabs!

The above story brings to mind
one that is told on a Confederate

Soutn Carolina. An cfliicer was
discussing war matters, and re-
marked :
