Prosperous and Progressive North Carolina, Never before in North Caroli-— na’s history have so many indus- tries and manufactories been es— tablished or started as during tnis year. This is especially true in regard to cotton factories. All over the State old cotton mills are being enlarged and new ones constructed. Hundreds of thous- ands ot dollirs are being invested in these factories, and conse- quently paid out to laborers and wage earners and _ circulated umong a class of people who need all they can get. And, of course, these factories are not only of great benefit to those directiy ew ployed in tiaeir construction or operation, but also to the entire commubpity in which any one of them is situated. The farmers in the surrounding country’ are greatly benefitted by a factory near them, because it affords them a home market for the products of their farme. And while gratified at theee practical proofs and substantial signs of reviving business and returning prosperity, let us not forget that all this is occurring withio less than a year after the passage ofthe Democratic tariff l.w, which its enemies predicted would ruin the country and de- stroy all industries !— Pittsboro Record. We see it stated that over one hundred canning factories have recently been established in this State. Greenville did not get one « fthem. A “Blue”? Snake Story. A Georgia drummer was talk- |to a crowd of tue famous ‘blue snake’’ of Florida. The drum. mer said; ; ‘I was workin’ in the field one day with a nigger, and nig- gers are scared to death of blue Snakes, when he give a yel! ‘Blue snake’”’ and went fiyin, I didn’t know which way the durn snyke was comin’, so I took after the nigger, and we went out of that field like two Reductions in streaks of lightning, leaving our hoes standing up in the fur- row. What became of _ the snake I don’t Know, and I didn’t go back to see until next mornin’, and, by gum! what I found there surprised me about as much as anj thing [ had met ap with in Florida. ‘The snake had hit my hoehandle plumb in the centre, and it had swelled up so that I got 1,000 shingles, 10,000 feet of weather boardin’, four cords uf fire wood, 100 fence rails, enough florin’ for the Baptist church and 50v buar- reis of staves out of it: The listeners expressed their belief vigorously. ‘‘And’’ concluded the druw- mer, when he could be heard, ‘‘that hoe handle was still swell- in’ when we got it to the saw- muil.’’ , Chuck Full of Soup. A senator trom the tar west, new alike to congressional honors and the ways of society, was in-— vited to a very swell dinner given by a wealthy men who wanted “influence.” Here is apart of the letter the senator wrote home the day after: “It was the finest house you ever seed and the fi-— nest folks. The table set out in bang-up style. Laceon the table cloth and sach flowers as I never see! But nota thing to eat on it, but some candy, some little nuts all shelied, and such things. But by and by one of the men standing round brought me some Goin North in a Few D to select my Fall goods. Iam making great Summer Goods. ‘to make room for them. Come, name you figure and take the goods. FRANK WILSON The King Clothier. comme And as [ didn’t see nothing else to eat I had some more and some more. And then—what do you think? Hang me, if those men didn’t bring on the finest dinner ever you see, and there I sot, like a darned fool, chuck full of soup.” — Queer Epitaphs. A Williamsport (Mass.) corres- pondent writes: In the village of Pownal, adjoining this town, is an old cemetery, one of theoldest inthe State of Vermont. Many of the stones have long since top- pled over and are almost concea!- ed by moss and overgrown grass. On many are quaint old inscrip- tions. At the head of one grave is seen : ‘‘Here lies in silent clay, Miss Arabella Yonng, Who, on the 21st of May, Began to hold her tongue. ’’ Many are of a humorous nature as is shown by the following: ‘*Here lies the wife of Simon Stokes Who lived and died like other folks, Here I lie, and no wonder I’m dead, For a wagon wheel passee over my head.”’ John Hlil is referred to as fol- lows : “Here lies John Hill, a man of skill, His age was five times ten, of the finest soup you ever e'’t.

It is a faci thatdn most towns and cities, es pecially in. the South, this out-of date custom prevails tothe eatent of exhausting the energy of pro- prietors and clerks, who are Oar to keep on their feet from eatly! morning until about eighteen hours, time they can close up shop and prepare for rest it In guch cases is it any wonder that the Sunday-schools and charches -on Sunday mornings are unattended by our merchants and their cierks’ If the stores were closed by 9 or 10 o'clock just as mocb busihess wonld be done, and with more satisfaction and | waste of energy, less ex- pense for lights, etc., than is the csse now, and the salesmen would be better prepared for rest and worship on Sunday.

He Came Out of His Experience a Wreck ~-His Nerve Gave Out and He Suf- fered a Collapse—A Story with a Moral. Ata Detroit hotel the other day was a guest whose countenance wore such a frightened expression that he was an object of attention and re- mark from all others. Some said he must have been thrown sky-high by a Texas steer within the last day or two; others that he had been rur across a trestle-work by a passen- ger train; others still that his wife had suddenly pulled a gun on him and taken the reins of government in her hands. It is easy to find out all about people if you have a knack for it. ‘““Why do I carry such a wild, svared look?” queried the man in reply, as he made himself comforta- ble in a big arm-chair. ‘‘I flattered myself that the expression had about worn off, bat I begin to doubt if it will ever pass away entirely. I’ve been trying hard to look placid and contented for the last hour, but it seems to have been a failure.” ‘‘Did a bear, panther, alligator, Indian warrior or a ghost have any- thing to do with it?” asked the in- terviewer. “‘No—nothing of the sort. Young man, did you ever ride on a locomo- tive?” ‘“Ves.’’ *‘On a railroad snowplow?” ‘*No. ” ‘‘Well, perhaps you know that a railroad snowplow is about the big- gest, strongest and ugliest looking thing on wheels. Put two of ’em together and you’ve got a battering ram, which would go through a brick house like a streak of hot lard | running down hill. Ridingon a loco- n-=tive is a cradle compared to rid- ing on a snowplow when out for yusiness.”’ ‘*But it shouldn’t scare a man out of his boots.” ‘Well, it did me, and that’s why I carry thecountenanceI do. It was +he 15th of last January that I took t little trip over a few miles of jorthern Minnesota railroad, but I hav-n’t got through shivering and shaking and palpitating yet. I was at atown called Anthon during a three days’ snowstorm, and when I wanted to start for Morehead the iine was blocked and all trains can- celled. There was no reason why I should hurry away, but as soon as I ‘ound I couldn’t go I wanted to be ff. That’s human nature, know. When told that a couple of big snowplows were at the depot preparing to open the line to the westward, I went down and did what I thought was an awfully cute bat nde Pt you. “Bribed one or tne engineers ot take you on, eh?” “Just so, my friend. Yes, sir, I | worked my little game through the depot master and. the engineer of the head snowplow. Sorie of the long green stuff changed hands. perhaps, but that’s neitber here nor there. Jt was supposed that 1 had a dying wife at Morehead, and was almost crazy to reach her before the grim Monster bore her bence. When the big plows started out I was snug- ly ensconced on the fireman’s seat. I had never seen a railroad snow- plow before, and had no idea of what was to happen. The snow was about three feet deep on the level and packed hard, and I anticipated some- thing new and novel in that ride.” ‘‘And vou were not disappointed?” queried the interviewer. ‘‘Alas! no! I enjoyed the thing for the first mile or so, and then we struck a drift six feet deep by two hundred feet long. Such a drift couldn’t stop the plows, but you ought to have seen what happened when they drove into it! It was as if a cyclone blowing at the rate of q thousand miles an hour, and armed with teeth and claws, had swooped down into the cut. The whirl of snow shut out daylight in an in- stant. It flew fifty feet high, and it whirled back over the cab in a great wave. I was buried out of sight and almost smothered in the first dash, and before we got through that drift I’d have given fifty dollars to be.back at Anthon. The grinding, puffing, wheezing and groaning of the plows was of itself enough: to scare a man unaccustomed to it out of a year’s growth. When we ran out of that drift I had snow ir my ears, my hair, my pockets, my shoes—down my back and up my trousers-legs, and my flesh seemed to be burning.” ‘‘But the snowplows went on?” ‘‘I’m sure they did. I’d have been willing to drop off and foot it back to town, but having agreed to get me to Morehead to close the eyes of my dying wife, the engineer smile¢ at me in an encouraging way and added that the drift was only a lit- tle one for acent, If we didn’t run off the track or blow up we’d be sure to encounter something worth pitch- ing into. The fences were of boards, “nd for ten miles after leaving that first cut the snow was rolled off on each side of the track in such a way as to break them flat down, posts and all. It was likea great steamer plowing through the water, but the snow had weight to it as it went rushing against the fences. You heard the cedar posts go pop! pop! pop! like so many musket shots, and many of the boards were reduced} to splinters and the splinters sent flying in the air behind us. By and by we struck a second drift.” **Yes, you struck a second drift,” repeated the interviewer, as the man shook and shivered and made a “Te was a 5 drift to hectic ins finally said. It was a cut with bank: twenty feet high"and three hundre feet long, and the snow had blow: in till the cut seemed even full. The engineer expected to find sucha con dition of uffairs, and had increase< steam pressure and eave ‘He went for that drift like a cage rushing across a field to Pp tramp. Iwas hanging on for io life and had my eyes shut when we struck. We ran Into the drift sg distance of fifty feet and then i stopped. When we came toa stand- still I was back on the tender buried under two feet of snow, and when the engineer and fireman dug me out I’d have sold myself for a brass cent. A more forlorn, dildpidated and disgusted husband of a dying wife will never be seen on the face of! this earth. I offered the boys, as near as I can remember, three mil- lion dollars to run back to Anthon, but they only laughed at me. They were out to open the tracks, and as I had come along I must stick. wee ‘“‘And so they bucked the drift again ?” ‘Heaven forgive 'em, but they did! They backed out, got up more steam and into the cut we dashed aud gained another twenty feet. I don’t think I fainted away, but somehow I lost all interest in the proceedings after that. All I can remember was of being bounced about—bruised, cut and burned—of seeing more snow above and around me than 1 ever supposed fell upon the whole American continent at one time before. We were an hour getting through that drift, and another in reaching a town called Detroit City. There I was tenderly removed from the snowplow and taken to a hotel and a doctor sum- moned. and my dying wife was left to die or to get well.” “Any bones broken or cylinder. heads blown out?” ‘‘No. The doctor found cuts and burns and bruises from head to heel, but he said they didn’t amount to much. It was the shock to my nervous system that troubled him and for two weeks he could not be sure whether I would remain a fool to the end of my days or eventually gain enough horse sense to enable. me to get out of the country. Things finally turned my way, butIam a marked man for life. My hair stands up most of the time—my eyes reveal a feeling of terror—niy pale face tells everybody that I have lost my sand. . That’s my story. Seek for the moral ° in it and don’t make a fool of your- self with your eyes wide open.”"==_ Detroit Free Press.
