Ce een a Speak but Once a Year, and Then Only to Quarrel “There is in Tennessee a family of three sisters which presents some of the woststartling peculiarities imaginable,” said Mr. J.J. Kennedy, of thas State, yesterday at the Riggs. “The three sisters live togstber on a farm, their sole means of subsistence, and. work early aud late to earn a liyelihood, Two of them work in the fiela; the third does the cooking and other house work. : “There is but one period of the year when any member of the trio has any thing to say to any other member. All during the winter, spring and summer they go about their business with the seal ut silence on their lips. When fall comes and the crop is har- weeted they break the silence, and then only tc quarrel over the division ef the proceeds. Wheneach gets all that she thinks possible, silence reigns again until the next harvest time. The sisters as you may judge. have wade a name for themselves. They are known far and near as the ‘deaf and dumb triplets,’ although such a title is scarcely approp’iate.”— Wash- ington Post. am anta mm- — | Retrenchment and Reform During the campaign the Third party cendidates and Republicans in, Wilscn county criticised the Demo- cratic courty adminssiration for what they claimed excessiye expenditures, and ured the argument to make votes» promising that if allowed to manage affairs the expenses would be so much less than formerly. Leaving cut che question of whether the ccunty is as well governed, we shall take one item trom the records to show that vur pres ent commissioners are not keeping their promise to the people. Te records show that the tax assessors for the whole ccunty last year were paid $235.96, and this year they have been paid $332:56—nearly a hundred dol- are more. Lact year Mr. Wells was paid $462.00 for meking out the tax list. This year Mr. Griffin has sent in his bill tor $1,100.— Wilson Times. ne ) vuem A Remarkable Davidson County Woman Mr. R. J. Holmes, Jr, who has recently returned from a visit to Da- Vidgon county, tells us of a remarkable eld lady who lives near Sapona. Her name is Mrs, Andrew Young and she is 84 years old. She is yet vigorous and active, walks six miles a day two or three times a week and never takes medicine. There are scarcely any wrinkles in her face and her teeth are in good condition. ‘She has never been sick but once, having hada slight spell ot sickness when she was 35 years old, ~ Mrs. Young has 100 grand children 100 great grand children and 2 great great grand children. Her descend. adie are scattered over all pgrts of the _ State and many of them she does not _ vem know.—Salisbury World, w ighborhood, Write plainly | THE NEGRO AS AN OBSTACLE. © The colored man will be with us of the South always. His tribe now numbers 7,000,000; his increase i8 about 200,000 annually. To send him ‘back to Africa is impossible, and if it were not impossible, it would be utter- ly impracticable. ‘To colonize him in this country is also both impossible and practicable. Amalgamation is losing ground instead of gaining, which 1s vastly to the credit of our country. So the colored man is here to stay. We must take account of him, we must reckon on him, Since the gates of Eden closed on Adam and Eve no greater calamity has befallen a people than that which was thrust upon the stricken South by the act giving 1,000,000 slaves, sons of generations of slaves, the right of frans chise. From that day until now the course of the Southern people has been a desperate struggle up grade against odds that would have daunted a less yalliant race. Politically we are where we wera three decades ago. No reforms could be initiated, no advanced positions be taken, because every year and hour the slightest disaficction would throw 100,000 colored voters into ascendancy. Take a simple iu stance: The editor of the Biblical was denounced and abused throughout Recorder, now gathered to his fathers, , and Solicitor Pou boarded the Sea. board Air Line at Raleigh a tew days on the train was by accident, but they made a pleasant party and when the cozductor came up calling tor tickets they were in the midst of animated conversation, The conductor called “tickets,” and Solicitor Pou and Judge Robinson handed ovef their regular tickets, as the Governor says all law abiding citizens should do, All eyes were then tarned upon His Excellency. Strange to say, he seemed to have “shrinked up” several pounds (he usually “puffs up” that is, when the tables are notagainst him.) He didn’t hand over a ticket. The conductor assumed an air of “hand over or get off.’ The Governor squirmed in his seat, “spluttered” out one of h’s char~ acteristic “snorts” and humbly appeal- ed to the conductor to “pass on” and he would adjust the matter with him in afew minutes. Of course a_ little later he had a private audience with the conductor and showed his pass over the Seaboard Air Line. It was evideatly embarrassing tor Russell to be caught in such a box, especially in the presence of Judge Robinson.—Raleigh Press Visitor.

This is only one instance. Hun- dreds might be named. For,, every reform creates division, every new idea creates dieaftection. And in conse- quence the larger clement of the white people in the South are politically sae slowest in the world to move, And it will be so long as there is the almost inevitable consequence that to initiate a change will turn the counuy over to an incompetent and unworthy regime. Without another word it is clear that the negro is an obstacle; clear that inevitably the Southern country must be retarded in her political prog- ress so Jongas he is an obstacle. It is clear that he is here to stay, What Disfranchisement. It is the only hope. There is,but one ground that will reach the mark, and that 13 Illiteracy. It isa goed ore; it will stand the test of common sense and plain reason and right. Is it impossi~- ble? It cannot be. Isic impractaca- ble? It cannot be. One year or two years may not achieve the end, but it is worth u decade of struggle. Other issues pale into insignificance beside this; they should not be suffered to interfere. It the unintelligent vote of North Carclire cotld be eliminated the State could then address herself with a single eye to the needs of the people.—Bitlical Recorder. ——— RUSSELL’S FREE PASS. Otho Wilson Tells of the Execu- tive’s Embarrassment. Mr. Wilson, has been in Winston getting the Hayseeder in sailing shape Otho is talking as he walks these days. He tells the Winston Sentinel an in- teresting story about the governor as follows; “Otho seems to have the dots on Gov, Russell in the “free pass” matter and tells a story on his excel- leney which is a stunnerif ii is truae— and “tho vouches for it. It is well known that Russell is making a fight agerinst the issuing of free passes and last week Judge Robinson charged the Wake county grand jury to return true bills against all railroads tor this crime (?). During the session of the court there was a case of this kind in| which the Governor was a witness for the State. Well, Otho’s story is like this: |Governor Russell, Judge Robinson so much to disgrace and humiliate this State since it has held the reins. There are differences of opinions among Cemecrats on that lease ques- tion, but the Butler-Russell combine can’t play that to catch Democratic votes. —Wilmington Star. TS A Chariot ot Fire A fire, which, to say the Jeast, was unique, occurred on the highway between here and Pine- ville Saturday. A wagon, the frame of which was covered with cotton bagging, left town full of hands going to Mr. Baxter Bailes’: There were women as well as men in the crowd. One of the men was smoking. A spark, “anbeknown- st” to him got into the bagging. {n a few seconds a blaze shot up. Tho mules were going at a pretty lively pace, and the increased so rapidly that the occupants of the wagon barely escaped with their lives. They jumped through the flawes or fell out, whichever they could do best. Several ,f the women caught on fire. The driverless mules rushed on, and the flames rushed up, fully 15 feet. The mules were singed, a new bed- stead, a pair of shoes and some clothes in the wagon were con- sumed, along with the frame. The darkies had often sung about the,chariote of fire, but they now prefer to make the exit some other way.—Charlotte Observer. eceemiasimmmeetatten a aria} Right Living Right living is, in one sense, & living without making mistakes.
