Matters of Interest Over the State. The North Carolina Pemtentiary has leased a farm of 2,500 acres near Wades- boro, and will put 150 convicts at work there by the end of this month. The Morganton Herald says that Mr. Joseph Whisenant, of Burke, has nine sons, the eldest 30 and the youngest 14, the aggregate weight of whom is 1,806 pounds. Fifteen hundred busliels of clams were shipped to Northern markets from Wrightsville and Wilmington last week, against 7,000 bushels shipped the week before.— Wilmington Dispatch. In digging up a large oak in the Capitol square in Raleigh, two negro men found a decayed wooden box; and ‘n that was a tin'box containing 85 pieces of silver coin. They quickly carried it off and only gave the number of pieces, not the value of any. It caused quite a stir among the negroes of Raleigh. TELEGRAPHIC BRIEFS. The Treasury gold reserve has gone a little below $42,000,000. Two men were burned to death in a barn near Henry, Va, where they over. Congressman W. H. Crane, of the The fitteenth annual assembly of the League of American Wheelmen is in session in Baltimore. Burglars entered the bank of Ear!- ville Iowa, and secured $100 trom the cash drawer. They blew open the safe containing $10,000, but took fright and fled without the money. nen eae ener tte Weary of Self Made Men’s Brag. Mr. Moody fias a popular and very telling way of “hitting” the errors which are so rife in the the theological thinking of many persons today. Speaking of salvation by grace, he says: “It is well that a man can't save him- self, for if a man could only work his own-way to heaven you never would hear the last of it. Why, down here +n this world, if a man livppens to get a little ahead of his fellows and scrapes a few thousand dollars together, you'll hear him bragging about his being & self made man, and telling how he be- gan as a poor boy and worked his way up in the world, — I,ve heard so much of this sort ot thing that I’m sick and tired:of the whole business, and I’m glad we shan’t have men bragging through all eternity how they worked Louis had gone to sleep with a lighted lantern. | AAS | It is supposed they kicked the lantern ee 5. Danger in a Big Cotton Crop. Report comes to Raleigh that the farmers in Wake and some of the East- ern counties are making greater prep arations than for several years to plant large crops of cotton. The rise in the price has stimulated the increase in ac- reage. There has been a greater de- mand for fertilizers, and the prices of mules and horses have gone up by rea- son of the demand for them on cotton plantations. This paper is no authority on farm- ing, but it believes that no farmer will be wise to quit raising his supplies to plant more cotton. The experience of the most uniformly successful farmers has becn that home supplies ought to’ be made, and that then as much land ought to be put in money crops, diver. sified, as can be profitably grown. A big cotton crop this year means another 5 cent crop. A crop short like that of 1895, means in the neighbor- hood of 8 cents. _Those farmers who are planning for a big increase on the strength of the higher price will find they have made a big mistake if their example is generally followed through- out the South. A crop of fair size will bring as much money as a big crop, and more profit.—Raleigh News and Ob server. The Deacon. As the preparation of this play for recital progresses it promises more and more to the public. People sometimes complain that there is nothing to enter- tain them between the acts. This will not be true Friday night. The. Forbes orchestra will turnish music for the oc- satisfies a Greenville audience that the music will be a special feature of the programme. G. E. Forbes will be at the piano, Alfred Forbes manages the cornet and Messrs. A. A. Forbes and Ola Forbes use the violins, ‘This in- sures the best music had in the Opera House in many a day.

Brown tells us that he has been informed by one of the obstinate Councilmen that there will not be another meeting of the pre- sent Board, that is the stay-aways are going to continue to absent themselves trom meetings and thus prevent any That: is: a pretty state of aifairs, and men holding USINEss being transacted. & positions of trust should be ashamed of such conduct..

Representative Skinner spoke 20, 3 minutes, just before ‘41 o'clock this’ morning, having had his time extended ten minutes. He regretted his difficul- ty in securing revognition. His people were a unit for free silver: Here he went ivto stump speech gorgeousness. ‘The country was mourning, he said from morning to evening. He rustled th leaves of Valambrosa,” ‘stream inte “ripples,” after which he was fully prepared to speak of “this ereay' and grand sunset continent’, of ours.” By-this time Balaklava blun- ders came pat and he likewise reaped a “harvest of pines,” and other things. He was awfully polite, was Harry, in not charging the deplorable blunder he. graphically depicted on either Demo- crats-or Republicans,“now,” He only. ‘said: “Alienate” yoorsélves’ from the party of the gold standard. He was not aghamed of his association with Populists.” He had “no harsh words for silver Demoerats,” who, | he declared, were as a rule, intelligent and patriotic. Nevertheless he criticised them for vot- ing for Grover Cleveland when they knew what a gold bug he was. “Bi- metalism and protection are twin, sis- ters—they are inseperable.” While he disayowed Coxeyism, he spoke of the people “marching to the polls.” The ~ Democrats and Republicans would both “nominate gold standard men on a gold standard platform. —Washington Cor. ~ Charlotte Observer. » Advertising and Logic. ee The advertising of a firm is built on regular and successive steps.

Geese from Shellfish. Everybody in the whole civilized | world between the 11th and 17th cen- turies believed that the “barnacle goose” ‘hatched from that species of shellfish called the barnacle. The story was first ‘told by Cambrensis and was devoutly believed dy all christendom for more than 500 years. A well-known scien- tific writer, reviewing the opinions of Cambrensis, says: ‘According to our venerable authority, the barnacle goose is generated from logs of wood allowed to decompose in the wa- ter. When decomposition has fair- ‘lly begun small bumps on the log Tear blotting. paper ‘{n. pieces and hold the rough ‘edge on the ink when itis freshly spilled, or spob with Indian meal, or the liquid iuk may beab- sorded by cotton batting.

Ifthe ink stained ar- is washed immediately iu several wateis and then in milk, letting it soak in the milk for sey; will disappear, Washing the article imme lately in vinegar and water, soap and water, is apothe dy which will remove ry iok stains, GN may be observed. Little by lit- tle these increase in size and finally assume the form and shape of a mass of barnacles, which is well known as a kind of shellfish. Soon after the shell, or husk, bursts open and a full-grown goose may be seen in the water clinging to the log only by the bill. A fewdays longer it continues to draw its nourish- ment from the log, then breaks away in the form of a'perfect goose, exercis- ing all the functions of its kind.”— IF YOU HAD A ~ LOAD Or WOOD TO SELL that you had a load of wood to sell ; but why not cut it short-—not the wood, but the method—and place a good ad in a good newspaper and. tell everybody at once. ‘Delays are dan- gerous,” and a good newspaper would start in where the last, man left oft and keep on telling éveryboay tnat you had a load of wood to sell; or anything else.

In many respects cats are more like men and women than dogs are. They have moods, and their nature is complex. A dog is very much of a piece. He isa good dog or a bad dog, brave or cowardly, honest or a sneak. The canine, intelligence is much higher than the feline, but the disposition is simpler. Cats are exceedingly irritable by temperament, sensitive to changes They are excitable and naturally disposed to bite and: scratch when at play. There is a curious tendency in them, as in ill balanced or over- heads when in high spirits, ar the self command most of them show when full grown in resisting these impulses is a striking proof of con- scious responsibility. A full grown pet cat scarcely ever scratches a young child, no matter how much mauled by it. Besides being irrita- ble they are moody and subject to depression, probably a physical re- action from the former condition. Princess, though not a sullen cat, would sometimes forsake the hearth or veranda and pass days by herself on a garden wall or under a bush, not ill or out of temper, but out of spirits, morbid and wishing for soli- tude instead of thesympathy which she always sought in her real ail- ments and bereavements. ‘ Her peculiarities, both of race and individuality, were remarkably de- fined, even when she held them in restraint; but, with one exception, all the cats I have known are cap- tious. Their instinct when ill or sad is to be alone, but this is entirely neutralized by petting. They be- come as dependent on caresses and sympathy as children and much wiser than children when they are ill or injured, as they apply for re- lief with the most unmistakable suggestions, sometimes indicatinn ‘plainly whore they aro in pam and prosonting thesufferin’ mew ber for treatment.
