Tribute to Miss Claudie Spain. °
When the sad news reached her cir-
cle of many friends and the friends of
the family iast week that Miss Claudic
Spain was dead, 1 was a shock, a thun-
W hen
the grim hand ot deach invades the
home and claims a victim there, it 1s
ufways sad but when a young person
just entering upon a lite full of hope,
whose sky is gilded with th. roseate
ti.tage of promise is stricken down We
Can but wonder at the marvelous work®
of the Divine Creator.

She was just entering the 2oth year
cf her lite; a young woman possessed
with many lofty, amiable, admirable
traits of character, of the highest true
christian type, she always made trends
by her depth and firmness of character,
and kept them unto death. No one
that ever knew Miss Cluudie Spain has
anything but kind words to speak of
her lite, and, while it was cut short ere
its noon day, jet there is a sweet
thought taat always follows such lives
thas brace up und gives encouragement
to the gricf stricken ones Ictt behind.
And to the aged parents who In this
their sad hour of sore bereavement feel
that their burden is almost more than
they can bear, and the heart-sore broth-
ers and sisters who teel very» keenly
their luss, we would remind you that
her life was a shining example of’the
chnstian faith and that beyond this
veil of tears unseen by mortal eye, she
has gone to claim her reward ina life
| (hat is unmeasured by the flight of

| years. A FRIEND.

of Falkland; received a very handsome
diploma and bronze medal from the
World's Fair committee on awards for
a collection of books written by North
Carolina women which she had on ex-
hibition at the fair. Mrs. Cotten spent
much time and tabor in getting up the
collection, and the award it received is
very complimentary both to her and the
State. The name of each author rep-

Cotten, appears in the diploma. This

Hon. J. B. Respass and Hon. J. H.
Small, Republican and Democratic
Electors of this district, spoke in the

crowd cf about 250 people. Both gen-
tlemen made good speeches on their
respective sides of tie political issues
confronting us today, the former taking
a stand for high tariff and agaist ‘vee
silver, and the latter advocating the free
and unlimited coinige of silver as the
great issue confronting the Ameri.an

There was a bit of scrap out on
one of Gur wa"ehouse floors today that
did not belong regularly on the o.der of
sale:. As we hear it, a young colored
fellow was using his lip rather frsely
und a white man sent his fist out to
fecl of it. Mayor Forbes knocked the
scrap off at $4 in favor of the town.

A Month Before Eiccizon.

Chicago, Oct. 3.-A month be-

firm in their declaration of confi-
dence in the success at their re-
spective polls.

“The whole thing hinges on
what the iabor element mag do,”
said Mr. Stevenson of the Nation-
al Democratic party. Eighty-
five per cent. of the farmers are
for free silver. If the capitalists
and money brokers succeed by
coercion or other methods in

|gaining the support of the ja—

bor element, Mr. McKinley wiil
be elected, but I do not think
they can do anything with that

element.”
At Democratic national head-

quarters it wasstated tuat con-
vincing evidence 1s daily accumu-
lating that Bryan will sweep the
Southern, Western and Central
Middle States: This claim is not
based on reports uf enthusiastic
politicians but is the result of
careful investigation and very
careful canvasses made in debat—
able territory by national, State
and local managers of ‘he free
silver campaign, It is further
stated that “in many counties in
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michi-
gan, Lowa, Wisconsin and Minne-
sota there isa wholesale stam-
pede cf. Repubiican farmers to
the support of Bryan,” and that
“Republican reports show that
German Amercans are coming
over to the Bryan standard by
the thousands, a state of affairs
that is Jargely due to the Bis-
marck letter, millions of copies of
which have been sent out all over
the country.”

The Democratic managers
claim Indiana by 25,000 majority,
and also claim a gain of vine
Dewocratic Congressmen in that

State.

‘| For the Benefit ot Those Who Haven’t

Any.

A clergyman was anxiOus to in-
troduse some hymun-books into
the church and arranged with his
clerk that the latter was to give
notice immediately after the ser-
mon. The clerk, however, had a
notice of his own to give out
with refereuce to the baptism oi
infants. Accordingly, at the close
of the sermon he arose and an-
nounced :

“Ail those who have children
whom they wish to haye baptized
please send their names at once
to the clerk.”

The clergyman. who was stone
deaf, assumed that the clerk was
giving out the hymn: book notice,
and immmediately arose and
said:

“And I should say, for the ben-
efit of those who hayen’t any, that
they may be obtained atthe yes~
try any day from 3 to 4 o'clock;
the ordinary little ones at one
shilling each, and the special ones

_ |with red backs at one shilling

and four pence.”—Christian advo-

Cate,

" It is high time for Democrats

to stop so much quibbliug over
rumors of this man coming down
or that man’s to be withdrawn—
tumors which are started for the

|purpose of weakening the ticket

and destroy confidence—and get
down to united, solid work. The
Democrats are going to be beat-
en if they spend their time and
energy in chasing non essentials,
and waiting for something to
turn up, which may never turn,

{and leave them waiting. The

Luxury ¢f Doig Nothing?
Does the busy housewife ever
realize the luxary of doing noth:
jag? Seldom, I fear, for the
modern Martha 1s troubled with
many things—-su oceupied is she
|with her nursery, her kitchen aud
her needlework that she regards
a half-hour spent in restful idle-
ness as something very like a
crime. So, when tired nature as-

 

to vake a brief rest, she sits down
reluctantly and occupics her fin-
gers with a bit of embroidery, or
at least idly glances over the
morning paper. A grievous mis-
take this, but a common one, as
the average woman has yet io
learn the secret of power through
repose. But try it and heed the
result, ye busy housewives !

Sit down in a big, comfortable
arm chair—not a rocker, that
refuge of nervous American wo-
men—but a roomy, lounging
chair; close your eyes; smooth
out the lines from brow and
mouth, and let the ever-busy
hands lie idly in your lap, relax
every muscle and make an effort
not to think even—doun’t plan
how to renovate Mary’s school
Gress or speculate whether your
winter bonnet will bear a second
renewal—let your mind be, if pos-
sible, wn absolute blank. Rest
thus for a quarter of an hour
twice a day and see if you do not
rise & giautess ref: eshed.

And, best cf all, such repose
does more to keep a womaa
young—-a fact, I know, which ap-
peals to ali my sex that have
passed the Rubicon of 30—than
any process yet derived by clev-
erest masseuse Or most skilled
vomplexion specialist.—Philadel-
phia Record.

Slanaer.

 

eee enna

There is a common impression

abroad that one may circulate a
slanderous statement about an

other provided the statement is
uot made as a fact, but is merely
reported as something which was
heard from another. This is a
great mistake. The maxim is,
“Pale bearers are as bad as tale
makers.” For one to say, “I heard
Sam Jones say that John Smith
had stoler a horse,’ i3 just as
slanderous in the eyes of the law
as if tie persou ,circulating the
slander had stated it as a fact of
his own knowledge. This isa
breach of the law that “scandal
mongers’ may well wake a note
of. The slander, if confined to
the party to whom it was origi-
nally told, would perhaps in most
cases do little damage. It is the

circulation of the report that does
the injury, and the Jaw therefore
gives an action against every one
who gives the slander currency.
