Cabinet pudding is the kind of des- sert that the moutbsjot a considerable number of prominent politicians waters for at the present time, aud a great many of them will come off without a slice of this particular pie. That ‘pud- ding will be dished out according to Cook Hanna’s direction. Notes and Accounts Unpaid ‘Shou'd Be Reduced to Judgment, There is ausolutely no investment that a busiaess man can make which will yield a larger return for the outlay than that necessary to reduce his un— collectible notes and accounts to judg— ment, and have the judgment docketed in the Superior Court. It is tue cus- tom with a large number of business nien when a note or account cannot be collected to charge 1t up on the profit and loss account, and let it run out of date. This is great folly. It costs but a very stnall sum to reduce a claim to judgment, and even though the debtor had nothing at the time, et it will be that in a surprisingly large number of cases, the debtor will acquire something before the juagment runs out of date: We know of at least two instances where judgments were taken against parties who were wholly insolvent at | the time, but the judgements wer: col- lected years afterwards out of the in-|, surance money coming to the judgment debtors upon the death of certain rela— tives. For a much str.nger reason, if jue debtor has any land at all; a judg ment should be taken, because the Judgment, it properly docketed in the Superior Court, will become a lien upon the lard, and will be collected some day, when the homestead right fails in ; aud in the meantime any person who purchases the iaud from the judgment debtur, will take it subject to the hen of the judgment—C, W. Tillet, in Chariote Observer. — Few Ru:es for “Getting on.” 1. Be honest. Dishonesty seldom makes one rich, and when it does, riches are a curse. There is no such thing us diskonest success. 2. Work. The world is not going to pay you for nothing. Ninety per cent. of what, men call talent is only a genius for hard work. 3. Be independent. Do not lean ou otners todo your thinking or to eon— quer difficulties. 4, Enter into that business or trade that you like best, and tor which nature seems to have fitted you, provided it is honorable. 5. Be co.scientious in the discharge ‘cof every duty. Do your work thorough ly. Noone can rise who slights his work. 6. Don’t try to begin at the top. Be- gin at the bottom and you will havea chanee to rise, and will be sure of reachtng the top sometime. 7; Trust in hard work. Inscribe on your banner, “luck is a fool, pluck is a hero.” 8. Be punctual, Keep your appoint- ment. Be there a minute before time it you have to lose vonr dinner to do it. 9."Be polite. Every bow, every amil¢ will be money in your Pocket. | || 10, ‘Spetid less than’ you eaih.” "Do cyt yidsrored st @ dad: & ‘as ool watt mes: not run in debt. .

Preliminary Publicity. BY NATH’L C. FOWLER, JR. OF NEW YORK, DOCTOR OF PUBLICITY. Necessities always sell. What folks must have they must buy. What folks want They: will buy, if they can afford to. What folks can’t afford to uy to— day they will ouy tomorrow, if they can. Necessities excepted, few things are purchased on the spur of the moment. Buyers think betore they buy. They may think they don’t think, but they do think. The man who wants a coat talks it over, and thinks about it before he buys it, The woman do s not think she wants a dress at the breakfast table and buy it before dinner. She may not buy it for three months after she first began to want it. Nobody paints a house, buys furni- ture or carpets, or anything else ex— cept what they must have, and have at once, until the matter has been given the consideration it deserves, and time and covsideration go tozether. The good of good advertising 18 more in the future than in the present. True bargain advertising will help to sell goods at once, but the rank and file of advertising has more latent, than surface power, and its value is not what it is worth today, but in what it is wort: tomorrow and tor many days to come. . ‘The general advertisers, who reckon advertising by the closest and most tested methods, long ago decided that it is ag necessary to advertise yoods be- fcre season us during season. Good advertising may begin vo pay when it first. appears, and generally well written retail advertisiug shows its power immediately, but the real good of it is in its permanency, and in what it will do in the iuture, for no strong advertisement, unless of some speciai bargain is ever forgotten by tbe reader, although the reader may think he has tcrgotten it, but it again appears be— tere his mind whenever conditions suz- gest It. Extensive “advertising before seascn when people are thinking about what they will buy during the season, more than doubles the value of advertising in season. Killed on the Railroad. Mr. Parrott Cade, who lived about tnree miles from town, was killed a lit- tle beyond Mr. S$. H. Abbot’s prize house by a special A. & N. C. train Saturday night about 7 o’clock. The know his train had killed anyone. The, about halt an hour after the train passed. He seemed to have been struck only in the face, one side of which was mash- ed, and there was a big hole in the back of the head. A bottle of whiskey in the man’s pocket was not even brok- en. It is surmised ne was drunk and was walking along the side of the track, and stumbled against the train as it came up. The deceased was ahard working man.—Kinston Free Press.
