Note and Comments. A leading English paper seri ously asks the question, is mar riage decaying? " (Jn the contra ry it is doubling the world over, The motto of a new paper in Georgia, printed in black type on us first page, is this: "If you don't like it pour it back in the jug." President Harrison is quite a walker and is very fond of such exercise. Just now, however. he's probably more interested m Knowing whether he 11 be called on to run. A stalwart Republican jour nal says the party in Ohio "will array itself against the farm ers." That's what the Republi can party has been persistently doing for the past thirty years, and lying about it. An exchange says: ."it is painfully astonishing how the soft yellow gold in a sweet heart's hair gets mixed into a peculiar red alloy in a wife's hair." That fellow evidently has a redheaded wife. A gentleman gave a group of by-standers an example for them to solve in sheep trading. ; He said: "I bought a lot of sheep at $2,30 a head, and sold them at f 2,22 and made $54 in the operation." After they had all given it up he continued: "I sheared them before I sold them." -Watauga Democrat. In Halifax county on the 5th Wm. Thomas, a colored man, caught Harriet Carter, a colored girl, and held her while he put a pistol to her breast and shot her dad. They had had no disturbance, and Thomas's on ly excuse for the act is that he thought he was pulling on an empty chamber of the revolver. The colored people were with difficulty restrained from lynch ing him. He is in jail. The average man is at loss to know why his wife cannot swing in a hammock three-quarters of the time, keep him posted on what is being printed in the daily paper and always smile when he gets home. One man has discoved that his helpmate has to lay oat and prepare 1. ki5 meals in a year; cook 305 dinners and washes dishes 1793 times. She gets the baby to sleep 140 times in 12 months, and gets up three nights in the week with it. She does the family mending, the sweeping, the house cleaning, and is ex pected besides to make 300 calls, attend all religious meetings, do fancy work enough to keep up the fashion, and to have a smile for her husband whenever he looks her way. This jieems to show why the hammock is empty, and appears to indicate that a man has more to make him smile than a woman has. A htkollixu surveyor hap pened along to a certain farm house in Illinois and offered to run the farm lines for $3. He was put to work, and he found the lines all wrong and got seven farmers into fights and law suits before the county survey or came along and discovered that the stroller couldn't run a straight line for twenty rods to save his neck. Then he strolled again. It is always best to patronize your home people and those you are well acquainted with. A Solointi Mnmeata After the bridal party partook of a sumptuous banquet, young er brother of the bride got up and said, solemnly, raising his glass: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have to propose a toast, which, however, must be drunk stand ing. Please take your glasses and rise up." The guests, although some what bewildered, did so. "Now," aid the young scapo grace,"if vou will remain stand ing for a few minutes I'll find out who has been sitting on my new stovepipe hat. ltocuester Times. Disi'atches from North Texas and the southern part of the Indian territory state that the prospects for crops, especially corn and cotton, have never been better. Corn is in fact made, and the yield will be from 40 to 50 bushels per acre. Wheat is yiold'ng 30 bushels to the acre. The smallest child ever born in Greensbary.

The Inter-State Exposition at Kaleigh, from October 1st to November 1st, 1891, promises to be a complete success. All the States, of the South will be represented. We trust that Virginia will bring to it her finest tobacco, South Carolina her bent rice, Kentucky, " her fluent horses, Alabama, her richest ores, and the South at large, .her-fairest women all to be eclipsed by North Carolina. Wishing good to all, it is no evil to wish the best for the Old North State. The exposition will attract thousands of people from all parts of the United States, and we need not be surprised if Eu rope aud South America are represented.- .-'' ) ' i The very able' and most ex cellent State Chronicle says: "The chief need of the Exposi tion is to learn the world some thing about North Carolina. That is all." Is not our distinguished con temporary mistaken in saving "that is all?" We would have the world know us as we are, but we would much prefer for our own people to know the marvelous resources of our God given South, and feel the inspiration of conscious power. We will be gla to see that the Exposition attracts im migrationbut, we had a thous and times rather see it stimulate our own young men to Jtugh re solves' and noble deeds. The idea has bwome too com mon that there are other places more attractive to our young men than our blessed . South land. It has been said that North Carolina is no place for a North Carolina boy to acquire fortune and fame. Away with the delusion! Let the Exposi tion teach our own people the priceless value of their inher itance. This lesson learned, and the work of education goes on to the development of a higher ap preciation of life, and a grander conception of its possibilities We advocate , no stinting ot North Carolina" generosity-and hospitality, but we want our people to awake to an appreci ation of their country and them selves. Newbern Journal. ' A UoimI Mnve. In speakingof the move made by Asheville the Wilmington Star says: I he board of alder men of the city of Asheville had an eye to business when a few weeks ago they appointed a com mittee to visit St. Paul, Minn., and invite the National Press Association to hold its next an nual meeting in the capital city of Skyland. The committee ap pointed, for certain reasons aid not go, but other citizens who had business in the Northwest volunteered to be the bearers of the city's invitation. It is not yet known whether the invita tion has been accepted or not, but if it should be it will prove one of the best advertisements Asheville has ever had. The members of this Association re presents most of the leading papers of the country, North and South, and through the re ports of its proceedings and the letters that many ot the mem bers would write to their papers, Asheville would be brought prominently to the front before thousands of readers and thus would become better k nown than ever. It was a capital idea and we houe the invitation will be, if it has not already been ac cepted. Thk New York Journal of Commerce regrets the recent de feat in the Legifilature of tint State, of a bill strongly advo cated by Gov, Hill, providing for spending ten millions of dollars for the improvement of public roads in rew iont. it uivi Mint such "an otitlav would be the best possible investment the jieople of the Commonwealth could make. It would add teu times its amount to the salable value of its real property. Good roads are the sorest need in ev ery county. H would pay the people to assess themselves and spend the money lor wis pur pose in any locality." The Journal of Commerce it ritrht W ara Hurtirised to find many ieople so indifferent to the condition 01 we ptiuiic ntgn ways, and opposed to spending mnnnv tn imnrove them when money spent for this purpose is always a uutiuk imi.-oiii-ii. . , - . . . . . Kiifi mmni nm iniuritiiin Lit uiit locality, and good roads are highly benonctai. "An unicept highway ii? worse than a plague to uctcr investors in rurui homes." Keen Competition. There never was a time in the history of New York journal ism wlieu competition was so koea as at the present. The big uowspapers are spending money with a lavish hand, and what is known as "circus journalism" KeeM3 to be more in vogue than ever. About a year ago the Herald, which had been moving along m a conservative way, shook out a reef or two and be gan printing pictures. The Sun, once a model of condensation, took t ten and twelve page ed itions, and even the conserva tive old Evening Post caught the padding fever aud swelled itselt to stupid proportions. Last December the editor of the World formally abdicated, gave up all control of his newspaper and returned to his European home. ; t Kecently the competi tion became so keen that he re tnrned to New York and in creased his news expenditures and salaries something like $350,000 a year. The blanket sheet business now goes on more actively than ever, and the pub lic is fairly groaning under its load of stuffing in the way of reading matter and cheap ad vertising. All of this is good for the printers and the news mongers. We know of report ers who were plodding along on $15 a week less than six months ago who are now commanding f 60 and even $75. Reporters swing like pendulums from one newspaper to another in search of gilt edged" honoraiums, and the men who have "idees" to sell that is, something bizarre in the way of pictures, voting schemes, colorea cartoons, hide ous headlines, or catch-penny guessing matches are looked upon as tne apostles or tne pro fession. A large contingent of writers has been called in from the country, and the probabil ities are that before many months there will be an intel lectual glut in the metropolis. There are signs that the public is growing weary of the ponder ous newspaper, and a reaction may be looked for. Krilsttu'a iritiiiiili. Judge Wallace's decision ren dered in N. Y., finds Mr. Edi son the invent r of the incan descent electric lamp. The first form of electric il lumination was the arc light, made by the passage of a cur rent through carbon points. While suited to large areas this form was unfitted to house or desk lighting, and the problem which Mr. Edison solved was the production of a smaller and much less powerful electric lamp. The idea, roughly stat ed, is that an electric current of small force passes into a thread of carbonized bamboo confined in an hermetically sealed glass bulb reduced to a vacuum. But for the fact that no absolutely, perfect vacuum is producible by art lamp would practically last forever, but as it is has a long duration called its "life," in the course of which it yields a Rub tantially perfect illuminations of much less intensity than the are. - The full commercial value of his invention did not occur to Mr. Edison for some years, but in those years others saw fur ther into the future, and their use of his discovery, without challenge from him, bore sev erely against him when he wak ed to the necessity of asserting his rights. Justice ha very clearlybeen done by the decision Tub Census Office has issued a bulletin on paupers in alms houses in ;:. Tables are giv en showing the number of pau- Cera by race and nativity and y States anil Territories, the distribution of male and female paupers in almshouse in m by ratio with the relative in crease or decrease. The num ber of inmate in 1830 was 73, 043, an increase of 3,42 over the past decade. Of this num ber, 37,3j7 were white males and 3.3-H colored males, the to tal number of males being 40, 711. 'The number of females is given as 32,304. of which 2M91 were white and 3,113 colored. A Rhopk Island paper lias had to pay a man $l,oo) for stating that fie was "tired" from a po sition, when he was simply told that owing to lack of business his scrvjees were no longer needed.

We learn that the Board of Commissioners of Northampton has officially refused to grant any license to retail liquor in the county. After the expira tion of license now in force pro hibition will prevail unless the board reconsiders its action. This law says the commission ers shall grant licenses upon compliance with the proper re quirements, but the Supreme Court, we believe, has con structed the law to give com missioners larger discretion than the baro language of the act would imply, Roanoke ews. The Charlotte News Bays the excitement over the Motz trag edy at Lincolnton "has died down somewhat, but 'feuds are being formed that may yet give trouble." Feud-forming is a bout the lowest business man can engage m. A feud is hate, bitter and lasting, transmitted from father to Bon, with the idea of keeping all the under takers in the county busy. If any such develishness is con templated in Lincolton there is an opportunity for the Btrong arm of the law. Asheville Cit izen. ' A Float! n jr Uock. A floating rock is one of the wonMers of Corea.

Florida's Tobacco Culture. The census office has made public the tobacco statistics of Florida.

K I LLEO It Y AvTo MAX'S BITE Singular rate fa Yoii'-ff Pen tint Who Tom lied a Molar, New Yokk, July 17. A den tist killed by a woman's bite has presented a case unique at No. 14 East Eighty third street. Francis M. Baab was the roan, and he died at his home there yesterday. He was 21 years old, and on April 19, in his -father's absence, he set out to re lieve from pain a lady who came into the office with her face swollen and inflamed from an aching tooth. To locate the tooth he asked her to open her mouth wide. She did so. He touched it with his finger- In the agony of the touch the woman shrieked and snapped her jaws together, bit ing Baab's finger. He went on and pulled the tooth, and thought little of the accideut until the blood poison ing set in, of which he died. From the opinion very gen erally entertained in the medical rogrestive, the Examiner, o! .ellefortaine Ohio, has assert ed ft very signifi nnt fact when it states that "Pretty nearly nine out of ever ten women are suffering Borne bodily ailment, and nine out of every ton have brought on alllictiou by tight lacing."

Extract from Ins Speech at II o fraiiNVtlle. Takaa fr.im Atlanta Conitltntto. Mr. Simpson was ' handed a note asking him to touch oh the force bill. "On that force bill," said he, "we felt in Kansas that we. could not afford to have a Unit ed States marshal at the polls to dictate to your people. We feel that the intelligent people of the south know how to manage their own local affairs, and if you don't it is time you were learning, and there ia no way to learn but by experience.

Mr. Simpson then told the sto ry. "They are moving h 1 and the first load has just gone by." Ingalls was the first load, and McKinley and Sherman, in Ohio, would make a good second. "I want to finsh that chasm f .a uusiness. lou people m the south may have a few carcass-' es you can spare. Throw them in and it will help fill up," said he. "I want to say to you, ladies and gentlemen, that you have captured Kansas. I believe you are better alliancemen than in Kansas. I know your posi tion here and I appreciate it. This movement will do good to everybody, and let everybody join and help it along." Halt a Dozen state Item.
