Food For Reflection.
Many farmers some way or other
j get it into their heads that town
a business man are the happiest and
most prosperous people on earth,
t get rich by simply reaching out and
taking in all the money they want.
The farmer gets to breeding over hie
hard fate, as it seems, and thinking
that anybody can run a store because
* it seenis_80 easy to measure a yard
" of calico or weigh ont ,* pound of
3 coffee, sells ont the farm and goes to
9 town. Its no trouble to find a man
r that is willing and anxiona to sell out
' the remains of a sick stock of gro<
ceries, or the remnants of an empty
) shelved dry goods store and when
~ the farmer first seeB his name over
the door he leans back against a
lamp post with a pencil over each
ear and feels large, and imagines that
) his fortune is made. He buys a large
. stock of every commercial man that
. comes along, sells mostly on credit
to individuals who caa't buy a nick(
el's worth of goods anywhere else
in town without the cash, and at the
end of two years finds his stock run
down to a low ebb, with notbincr to
show for the farm he once owned
but a book full of worthless accounts,
that would sell for probably a cent
and* a half a pound to the rat? man.
Broken up and completely demoralized
he becomes a common day laborer
in his old age, without a ray
of hope of ever being able to make
another start in the world sufficient
to keep want aad poverty from the
door. The final resort of a great
many is to go west, where at least
they will not be tortured by every.1

I'll pay you more than you expect.
I can afford to increase your

capable of stealing from me.

hope. ' 9
Don't tell me w-hat I'd like to

The Scalawag: Bonds. r
The two certainties of life are
death and taxes, neither of which ia
anxiously sought after. Sometimes
circumstances render some of us in
such a condition that we seek the
former, but none of us are anxious
to burden ourselves with taxes, and
there are many who lose more sleep
worrying about taxes than they do
about death.
Such being the case, North Carolina
does notlook with even the smallest
deeree of favor upon the proposition
to pay tho $27,000(000 claim
of the syndicate holding the bond
issue of 1868-69, the proceeds of
which went into the hands of scalawags
and negroes, principally the
former. Should the state be forced
to pay this claim at one levy it weuld
amount to five dollars on every hundred
dollars worth of property. This
claim, if levied per capita, would be
about thirteen dollars each foi every
man, woman and child in the Sthte.
No man wants to repudiate an
honeat debt. Circumstances may
arise that prevents him from meeting
his obligations promptly. The people
of this State do not object to
paying tor value received, but~When
carpet baggers, with aid of their negro
allies, plundered the State tor millions,
then the correct and only business
proposition-is to pat the foot
of disapproval on 'the fraud that was
perpetrated. Men would rather
make a present at a dollar than be

Such is tbe oomiitiions of "things
at tin present, and the res (tits of the
coming election will have no little
bearing upon. Everybody knows
what man is representing this bond"
syndicate, and everybody knows
who is onoe more trying to get into
politioal power in this state. The
tax-payers should consider the different
phases of the qneetien and
render their verdiot accordingly in
the coming election?Raleigh Evening
