FUN AT OCRACOKE. Pienty of it for the Pleasure Seexer. eee ED (k ditorial C orrespondence.) Horter PonpER. ) Ocracoke, N. C. July 23rd.) In my former letter I promised to make some report at next writing of what the “old man” could do a-fishing, The person who comes to Ocracoke and don’t go fishing misses lots of fun. I have been out three times so far and “Uncle John” Cherry is the only one of our crowd who has gone ahead of the “old man” in point of numbers, and twice when “Uncle John” didn’t yo the “old man” led his boat. Dink James didn’t care to have it told that he wes the “Jonah” of the ship and caught only two, but it is too good to keep. But talking about fishing, Louis Skinner holds the championship for catching the largest. He and George Harrison were out yesterday when Louis caught a 40 pound drum, and George “landed one that weighed 20 pounds. The fare at the hotel is the best I ever found here, and the attention to the guests is all that could be wished. The dining room is in charge of Mirs Ella Houston, a cinadian, whose eqtal cannot be found. She can get around in more places to see that the guests are promptly served than any one | ever saw, and she is praised by all. Most of the waiters are white girls from the island and they make excel- ‘| Jent ones. I keep a pretty good eye open to see what the Greenviie crowd is doing, as their movements will be of most inter- est to the home folks. T have already told that a Greenville girl 1s the most popular one here. And the mostall all-round popular man hails. from the same quarter in the per- son of Dink James, The young folks and the married folks gather around him every night and make him lead an old fashioned quadrille or two and. call figues for them. No feature of the dances here seems more enjoyed than this. As I write now his clear, merry voice is heard ringing “swing corners all” above the lively strains of music and scraping of feet. ~ And another Greenville boy is dis. tinguishing himselfhere too. Let me speak it softly. for fear of giving him away, but Ed. Flanagan can do court. ’ Ting enough for the whole crowd. I have Jactually ; seen hinr sinaking Jove ito «twor girls at the; same, time, but, ove ‘of them: came off victor by Me Nig RAN be suena a close ately : | Juines }gates who ha pia : Aoans. 3 Last night the 411:44 camp from Winston, gave a dinner complimentary to Misses Lillian Cherry, of Greenville and Bessie Williams, of Newbern. There were several invited guests and the young men entertained them hand- somely. The spread wes superb and the bill of fare would have done credit to Delmonico. Proprictor George Credle don’t let the guests grov’ dull around Hotel Ponder. If there seems to be a lgg in other lines of amusement he gathersa crowd around him and keeps them in an uproar with his dry, witty jokes. There are bathing and sailing parties out eyery evening, and Ocracoke is truly delignttul. Eyery boat brings new artivals, Three young men from Newbern came here on their bicycles this morn- ing and mare a remarkable trip. They are R. S. Primrose, Thos. Daniels and Ellis Williams. They started from Beaufort at 9 o’clock last night making the run by moonlight along the beach, | covering the distance of 63 miles in four hours. With the wind fuir behind them they made the last 30 miles in one-and-a-half hours. They arrived at Portsmouth at one o’clock and got a boat to bring them across the inlet. Ed. Flanagan distinguished himself in another particular atso. Just after an early supper one evening, out his record for “rushing” two girls 3 S lat a time he took a couple of them out rowing. Seating the pair of fair ones on the stern of the boat, Ed. took the oars and rowed away with as pompous an air as if he had been captain of the Yale crew. With a strong flood tide wud a brisk wind both in his favor Ed- shot the boat away ata 3 minute gates The livtle craft flying off so rapidly be- fore the tide and wind riveted the at- tention of fa crowd gathered on the hotel balconies, for they well knew the young man was going to catch it wheh he turned about to come back. And their surmising was right. Little more than half a mile out the boat turned, and Ed made e few strokes with as much grace as when he was going out, but seeming to stand pertect- ly still he looked around to see if some- thing was holding the boat and began pulling harder. Still it wouldn’t come and the oarsmau grew serious and the girls began to look anxious. Taking in the situation Ed realized if that boa- got back somebody had to do some pul Ife tugged away awhile longer and sned his coat and the crowd at the hotel began to smile. Ed stuck up for nearly an hour when he managed to ling. reach a yacht lying at anchor ia the harbor and hired one of the crew to row the party ashore. It don’t do to ask him too often how he likes rowing, D. J. W.

Since it is difficult to arrive at any very satisfactory conjecture as to who shall be elected President to enter upon the duties of that high office with the beginning of its 109th year—whether Bryan or McKinley—all calcucations being made from past records are more or less uncertain and defective as indl- ca.ing futare results. Let us be more “nergetic” of resources, from whence to derive information and consult the no more fortuitous records of favorite and fortunate letters. | Of the 23 men who have filled the presidential office since 1780 the names on”? Washington, Jefferson , of ten ot them have as the fina letter, to-wit: Madison, Jackson, Van Buren, Har i- son, Buchanan, Lincoln, Johnsou and , Benjamin Harrison—these held the of- fice for 03 years, as against ‘the other 13, to-wit: John Adams, Monroe, J. Q. Adams, Tyler, Polk, Taylor, Fill- more, Pierce, Grant, Hayes, Gar field, Arthur, Mareh 4th, 1897, will have held the No eandi - Cleveland, who on office for fifty-five years. date, the final letter of whose name was “N,” ever failed to reach the presi- dential chair, either previous to or fol- lowing a deteat, except De Witt Chuton and Geo. B. McCiellan, and these were defeated by Madison and Lincoln—two , Jeffer- son was defeated by John Adams, who +N’s” contesting in each case. in turn was cefeated by Jetferson, the latter following his discomfiture by holding two terms. W. H. Harrison was deteated by Van Buren—another case of two “N’s” contesting, the form er defeating Van Buren for next term, and dying soon atter inauguration in 1841. It’s death to beat “N.” Disdain- ing to sport with that event which was one of our greatest national disasters, it follows curiously enough that Lincoln Was assassinated very soon after en- tering upon the term for which he had defeated McClellan. ‘Tilden, as is now almost unanimously conceded, was elected, though he did not enjoy the of- fice, and since which time we have usually written “nation with a little “n,” and yruthfully Hayes has contin- uously borne the approbrium of a usur- per. . Of tne 23 Vice Presidents, 10 me names énding with.the lucky “N,” wit ; Jefféraon, Geo. Clinton, Callie, Van Baren, i M. Johnson, Hamlin, Andrew Johnson, Wilson, Morton and _ Stevenson. These‘also serving as Vice Presidents their respective chiefs whose names were adorned by the final “N,”| save Jefferson, who was Washington’s first Secretary of State, and Wil son sod eae with whom ‘| damn his career will in | great cid not bear the enchanted |et- "| ter. The foregoing historic facts might well decide the high destiny of our Chi- cago nominee, though an adverse omen in“letterolozy” (patent applied for) ap- pears in the somewhat ill-fated letter “B.” but one candidate, Buchanan, with that letter at the beginuing of his name, havisg succeeded. Unless promise, now that compromises are made to order, and count Van Buren as a lucky “B,” making two, by means of a straddle that was successtul that is not needed to work out and foretell the destiny of Mr. Bryan siuce the name of bis Stute begins with “N”—Nebraska —and the name of bis city concludes with “N”—Lincoln, Neb. ‘This city, too,named in honor of our greatest President. Jas. G. Birney, John Bell and Black were defeated in their turn, having no “N” at the other end to back them up as did Buchnanan and Van Buren when they “took the cake.” To make assurance doubly sure, no candidate was ever elected whese name concluded with a “Y,” portentous for McKinley. Pinckney defeated twice, we com- = {each time by the mystic letter “N” in the persons of Jefferson and Madison. Clay was defeated thrice. Jackson, our heroie letter again serting itself, and yet again in the de- eat of Birney by Harrison, and both Clay and Birney finally retired by Polk, Neel we refer to the tact that reeley was not init by a large major- ity? This will be readily Grant-ed. No Vice President ever wrote his name witha final “T.” This looks bad for Mr, Hovart, though his odds are even with Mr. Sewall, since no Vice Pres. ident ever concluded his name with “LL.” Cleveland’s victory over the mystic **N” in the last campaign rather argues against our forecast, *but his name sounds as if it euded in the fate- ful letter, although really closer, like his career in the restless time-serving brain or many, with big, big “D.” Is one of these names an exception to all rules or theories ? Once b y as— And the curses and hisses that go out after his name to future of yarse be the boomerang of cures, _re- turning to damn _ his assailants, even though their names conclude with «N.” A mightier word concluding with “N” | suggets itself in their respective cases, and ‘“all’s well that n’s well.” This is possibly the most accurate forecast as to who will be our next President, and I lay claim to all first premiums offered therefor and hope the friends of Mr. Bryan and the Chicago ticket will enjoy the comfort and assur- ance that it brings, J. G. Hau. Hickory, N. C., July 15, 1896. the nn ee The Power ot Saying ‘‘No.” Somebody has satd that to give a yourg man the power to say “No” is a grander gift than giving him a thou. sand pounds. There is a larg9 family of the phables in. existence—folks born without backbones. I like a youth who can look one in the face, and if a thing is a lie, say co, and if it is true hold to it, though all the world is against him. You will get such boys as these from Bands of Hope, for if they say “No” in connection with drink, they can say “No” in connec- tion with other things, I will give you an illustration of what I mean ; A little fellow who had been brought up a staunch teetotaler was about to’be apprenticed. The foreman offered him a glags ot beer. The lite fellow said : “T never touch that stuft.” “Halloa, youngster,” replied the foreman, “we have no teetotalers here,” “If you have me you'll have one,” returned the boy, The foreman was irritated, and hold- ing up the glass of beer, he said : “Now, my boy, there’s only one mas- ter here; you'll either have this inside or outside.” The little fellow said, “Well, you can please yourself, I brought my clean jacket with te atid a good char. fatter. “You may-spoil my jacket, but you sha’nt spoil my character,—Sel. ae ‘| House OME SCHOOL FOR GLRLS. “| Will open at “Elm Cottage,” Oct. 2nd a Home School for Girls, from 8 to 16 years of age.

The American, a Republican paper published in Philatelphia, comes out for Bryan and Sewall and the plattorm of the Chicage convention. Herr Most’s as a goldbug somehow calls to mind the historic trmp who ar - rived at the conclusion that his proper resting place was in Mr. A-tor’s spare bedroom, A great many Republicans in’ Char lotte, says the Observer who will vote for MeKinly, will support Watsou and Most of them are Northern people and believe in the Democratic ticket. Democratic government in the Soutir : Well Timed Puns. A well Known clergyman in a southern state is an inveterate pun- ster. He often says that while he is well aware that puns belong to the lowest order of wit he is seldom able to resist the temptation to make one when opportunity offers. On one occasion after preaching an eloquent sermon he was met by two friends, one of whom began to praise his discourso in enthusiastic terms. When ho paused for breath, the other man said, with a laugh: ‘Well, doctor, can you stand as much soft soap as that?” “Indeed I can if there isn’t too much lye in it,’ returned the min- ister quickly. At another time he was present at the marriage reception of a young couple of the name of More. The occasion was somewhat stiff up +o the time of the minister’s entrance, and he quickly discovered the state of affairs. . ‘*Madam,’’ he said, with his radi. ant smile, addressing the awkward young bride, ‘Show fortunate you are! There are so few people-who can say with truth, ‘The More I want the More I have.’”’ The laugh which followed put the company at ease.—Youth’s Compan. for. Probably. Probably a woman would bea bride to her husband longer if she would continue making company of him. Most women begin to save their jam for visitors when they have been :narried three’ menths. — Boston, Poat. “_ This Ie Different ‘‘Lovemakes the world go round."

I thank god I am safely arrived in the province that. the providence of god and Bounty of the King hath made myne, and which the oredit, prudence and industry of the people concerned with me must render Considerable. I was received by the ancient Inhabitants with much kind- ness and respect and the rest brought it with them; there may be about four (f. 215b) thousand soules pass; we expect an increase from France, Holland and Germany, as well as our Native Country. The land is Generally good, well water’d and not so thick of Wood as imagin’d; there are also many open places that have been old Indian feilds, the trees that grow here are the Mulberry, white and red, wal. nut, black, gray and Hickery, Pop- lar, Cedar, Cyprus, chestnut, Asb, Sarsafrax, Gum, pine, Spruce, oake, black, white, red Spanish chestnut and Swamp which has a leafs like a willow, and is most lasting.

Thomas C, Platt. Mr. Platt never smoked a cigar except once, when he was a stripling in Owego. He had just left Yale college and started a drug store in this now famous town of Tioga coun- ty. This was in the first days of the Republican party. He then wrote the songs for the Fremont campaign, later for tho Lincoln contests, and later still for the Grant boomers. He has two trunks at bis old home in Owego full of these campaign gongs. All through New York stute there are happy geniuses with a pred- lection for writing verses. But Mr, Platt has. a record in this respect which is marvelous. A few years ago he was. the gnest of the news- paper men of the Felloworaft club. He was called upon for a speech He looked round, the board and saw politicians of the two parties, litera» ry critics, artiste.and dramatists.
