Burroughs, in Brunswick Advertiser, NOT MENIAL LABOR. We have noticed a great deal lately about boys working their way throagh college by doing menial work. So many “young men at such and such a place working their own way, some by aweeeping the halls, some by blacking boots, some by chopping wood,’ some by one thing and some by another. All of that will do to tell, but there is not much truth in it. It may have done for years gone by, but it is out of date now. There are, of course, many young men at the various colleges who are paying their own way, some by saving money before they go, some by working at intervals, and many by borrowing to pay back when their courses are com- pleted, but we venture to say that there wére not two men in all the State last year who were paying their way by do- ing menial work on the college campus. In the first place it would be impossible tor them to thus make more than enough to pay for their salt. In the next place they will not do it. There are too many paths open to them to make money without going to college, the inducements of an education are not great enough to make them bear the humilatian which the above course brings. A. college boy could not stand it; he would rather quit and try some- thing else. By this we do not mean to discredit manual labor. It is honorable, much so as any other kind of course. But this thing of waiting upon fellow stu- dents isa thing that won’t pass. It does not, of course, amount to any- thiog, except that there is considerable talk about it every year. And another teature of it is that there are too many ways for a young man who shows him- self worthy to obtain money. He can get it some way. , There 1s always a friend somewhere, and he gets the money, devotes himself to study instead of boot blacking and is soon able to re- turn it.—Monroe Journal. In Court for Failing to Provide His Wife with Snuff and Tobacco. ‘One Dave Morris was up before C. V. Voils, J. P., on last Tuesday for abandoning bis wife. From what the court could ‘gather from the Staate’s witnesses there ‘was, no abandonment, either had Morris failed to provide for her wants, save as’ to. the luxuries ot tobacco and snuff, On the examina- tion of Mrs. Morris she stated that her husband. had, on several occasions, gone aud not a-chéw of ora dip of sori in ie heneene Moores Ree} 0. y iy : é it will leave for Chicago on Saturday. off and, stayed some two, or three days,.

They are Demoralzed. The Star saw, and so stated, some weeks since that the leaders of both the Republican and Populist parties in North Carolina were in an agony of cespair over the prospect of free silver triumph of the Democracy at Chicago. Now that prospect has been changed toa certainty, and the Pop. and Rep. leaders are demoralized. Look at Mariun Butler. He sees that his “personally conducted” silver party will cut no figure in the coming elec- tions. With free coinage platforms aud free coinage tickets, both National and State, the Democrats will sweep North Carolina will go emocratic. Many Republicans will vote our ticket. ‘Thousands of Popu- lists will comeback to the only party that can ever rehabilitate silver in this country ; and on the 6th day of next November, Marion Butler will see that the Populist party has been annihilated. In less than sixty days the veriest tyro in politics will see that the fight in North Carolina has settled down to one between the Democrats and the Republicans. With that mocracy will triumph.— Wilmington Star. the country. issue, De- _— = A Joke on the Minister, “A good many stories have been told of the ease with which petitions have been circulated,” remarked A. B. Carlton, of Indianapolis, at the Coch- ran, “but the best instances I ever heard of was in an Ohiotown. A pop- ular minister there was induced to head what he thought was a petition for a charitable purpose, and on the strength of his signature the name ot almost every reputable citizen of that place was signed to the document. It was then presented to the county court, and being in regular form, passed, as a mat- ter of course, without any attention be- would be issued as soon as payment thereior had been made. but soon appreciated the joke, and it furnished the preacher with a text on the carelessness of signing such peti- tion.” Figs and Thistles, ’ The father who ,rays too little will sometimes use the rod too much.

Democratic National Convention, Chicago, July 7. Populist National Convention, St. Louis, July 22. Silver National St, Louis, July 22. Convention, HON. CYRUS B. WATSON. mene ‘Lhe Democratic State convention made no mistakg in nominating Cyrus B. Watson, of Forsyth county, for Governor. Mr. Watson had not sought the nom- ination, and accepted it only in response toademand upon his patriotism that his devotion to duty and country would not permit him to decline. He is aman from and of the people, and he touched a chord that brought tears to many eyes when, in accepting the nomination, he said the first place he should visit when he left the conven- tion would be to the country home of his mother, now in her 92nd vear, and tell her that the great Democratic party had nominated her gon to be Governor of her State. Mr. Watson has ability of a Ingh order ; courage that is not to be doubted, and integrity of the most rugged type, He was a brave private soldier, self educated, but educated in that school of experietee and great industry that makes the well rounded man. Mr. Watson is a fighter. He never runs. He is always in the thickest of the fight, neither asking nor giving quarter, He is a great debater—the equal of the best. Mr. Watson’s position upon public questions is well known. He makes no concealment of his opimons. His heart isan open book. His love for his tel- lows is so great that there is no corner in his heart for anything except the milk of human kindness.

The muncipal council did not exactly pass an ordinance making it a punishable of- fense for anybody to give food to a tramp. They put it milder, in the form of a mere request, that citizens of Lake Forest, give uo food or employ- ment to tramps and vagrants. A copy of the request was sent to every heuse- holder in the town, and now. tramps make a wide detour around Lake For- est. It is certain that these vermin can beexterminated from the country by vigorous and concerted action on the part of municipal councils. Every possible aid should be given to men who are willing to work steadily, but for the wandering, thieving, disease and vermin spreading hobo there should be no quarter. — = ns A sad story is going the round of the press of an old lady in Chicago who was recently deserted by her hus- band. ‘Twenty-two years ago, at the age of sixty-six, she became the wife of Daniel Thompson, who was then only twenty-one years ofage. ‘The marriage occurred in Denmark. Shortly after- wards the couple emigrated to America. The husband found employment in Chicago, and for quite a while they seemed to be contented and happy. About a Mrs. Thompson’s son, by a former marriage, year however, ALO, came to live with them, bringing his young wife. Finding himselfin a good home, he refused to work and began to dissipate in a most reckless manner. In these vicious habits he perseveréd for several months. Finaily his young wife threatened to leave him. On re— turning home the ouher day he found that she bad carried out her threat by running away with Thompson. In or- der to marry this young woman Thompson deserted his aged wife, with whom he had lived for twenty-two vears and who had burne him several chil- dren, Thompson carried away with him all the money which he had laid by, leaving his wife in a helpless ¢ondi- tion. The old woman, who is now tighty-eight years old, will doubtless be sent to the poorhouse.
