For the firat time 14 26 years the entire control of the State Government has passed from the Democratic party and is virtually under the control of the Republican party.

We regret excsedingly that Mr. McDairmid, editor of the Robesonian, lost his entire office, not a cent’s worth being saved out of it. His luss is estimated at $o,0U0 with insu- | rance for only $3,000. WHAT NORTH CAROLINA NEEDS ad Is Only That Her Resources be Known. Mr. W. H.

Perr pen renames aa aaa Bicycle Fire Engine. In’ Paris is to be seen a fire ‘engine propelled by cycling fire- ‘men. The machine has the ap- pearance of two tandem bicycles coupled with a single steering post. Hanging between the two. bieycle fraunes are the hose reel anda rotary pump. The whole outfit weighs less than 140 ‘pounds, aud four experienced ‘wheelmen can push this aloog faster than any other- fire engine ever went. The foot power ot the senrcanananessrsraaniruesasts four men propels the machine to}: the scene of action, and when “once there the same power pumps the water. After the arriyal at the scene each man is assigned to some part of the duty of mak- ing the change. Une raises the back of the machine. on a,Jeg, allowing the rear wheels to \ye- _ yolve freely. He also throws the ‘pump into working order, and’ . the others have unreeled the hose and made the coupling connec. tions. Then, jumping: into the saddles again, the energies of the men are directed to pumping. About 4,500 gallons of water per “pour can be thrown bevween seventy-five and ope hundred feet in the air. The rapidity with which the machine can be) propelled toa fire and also wath, which it can be put into action are its two great advantages. Iu » two or three minutes after its arrival all necessary changes can be wade andthe machine pump- ” ng a stream over the roof. S eran an A Few Remarks About Friae. True pride is a good thing. It » inspires higher motives and bet- . ter actions. But false pride is bad. Some people are proud be- cause they possess a little wore of this world’s goods than their neighbors; this is the pride of wealth, and is a false pride Some are proud because they fire beiter educated—know more ~—than their neighbors. ‘This port of prideis not so bad; but if - Buch people would only reflect how little they know in compari- gon to what is to be known, they would betier realize how little they haye to be proud of atter pil. Some people, though poor, are too proud to work. This is mean pride. Workis honorable. The ‘ Gdler is of no use to himself, or herself, or to anybody, bat is a Gead expense and burden upon. honorable people $ wio earn a 4 ¥ivelihood and have an excuse for — Tiving. _. Afow people are as “proud as Lucifer” without having a soli- tary thing to be proud of. They’ heave neither wealth, knowledge, ‘ey _ Aools.—Kinston Free Prose, * * i i hi, am . _ or wisdom. They are poor, proud People Want to Know. - Why Col. Harry Skinner, who aplit his coat for a silver man. at St. Louis, 18 now splitting his tbroat, for Pritchard, a gold man. Why Col. Waiter Henry, who split his: yest for Bryan and silver at St. Louis, is now writing long high sounding words pleading for the re election of Pritchard. Why @ol. G. Ed. Kestler, who was & middle-of-the-roader at St. Louis, has teen in Raleigh «dur- ing the past week tearing his hair for Pritchard. Why Ool. A. L. Swinaon, anoth er middle-of-the-roader, is now in Raleigh pleading for Pritchard with tears in his eyes. Why Col. H. E. Hodges, of Beaufort, is such a strong Pritch- ard man. | Why several men “of, for and by principle” are wending « their way in noncommittal style around about Raleigh. Why the re-election of Pritch- ard is more important than the keeping un of friendly relations between the Popust and Repub- lican parties. (The money pow- er cay exp/ain that if it will.) Why certain men who never before cared sojmuch about “keeping pledges” are now 80 anx ious to keep pledges that never ought to have been made, and which are now void.—Progressivé Farmer. Sg na ARR Te EES, Big Insurance Money. The fire insurance adjusters, who sre making up their annual statements, réport that the busi- ness ‘of the past year has been one of the most prosperous they have ever evjoyed. Losses in the aggregate are believed! to have been several millions less during 1896 than for years previous, and all the great companies expect to tiakean-exceHent showing. One president, who bas received au- thentic information, told of one concern which had made a clear prefit‘of 86 per cent. on a capital of $200,000. Another with a capi tal of $250,000 made 61 per ‘cent. One of the bes; New England companies reports a profit of 29 per cent. on the enormous Capl- tal of $4,000,000. -Other reports quite as startling are looked for.— New York Dispatch. — a . A writer in tho Winston Repub. lican of last week discusses with aspérity a recent statement of the Observer. that the bench of the State ia filled. at this time, toa great extent, “by wen of poor bility and general unfitness for the positions they hold.” This declaration is met with the dec- laration that there is not one of the present judges “that is pot equal in learning and ability to some of the Democratic judges ou the bench and to several that have been on the bench since Democracy has bad control of the Siate.” That might be conceded and still our contention hold good. But itis a matter of com- mon knowledge that the bench 1n North Carolina today is weaker than it has been in twenty yeers. Any lawyer of any party, who will speak candidiy, will say so, and every intelligent layman knows it—-Charlotte Observer.
