Mr. John Gray Bynum, of Mor ganton, will be a candidate for postmaster of the next House of Representative?. ' The politicians of Indiana are hard at work making tickets for 188. Democrats are for the old ticket or for McDonald aud Hew itt. Republicans for Arthur, Gresham or Sherman. The New York "Sun" is an ac commodating sOrt of a paper. It not only nominates a' ticket for the Republicans next year thus: For President James Gillespie Blame, of Augusta. For Vice President John Alex ander Logan, of Chicago. But also supplies the platform thus : Platform Let the-Eagle Scream! Senator Colquitt, of Georgia, who has just retiu ued from New York, says he is satisfied, from his .own observation and from conver sation with gentlemen from all parts of the country, that the ouly thiug for the Democrats to do is to re-noininate the old ticket of Til den and Hendricks. He says the opinion on this point was almost literally unanimous, and he thinks the late election makes the nomina tion of Mr. Tilden an imperative necessity. The Philadelphia "Record,'' a re markably able independent paper, observes: '-With New York as the pivotal State 'next year the Demo crats have a decided advantage. As the vote of Philadelphia is used to swing the State of Pennsylvania into the Bepublican column, so the vote of New York city may be used by the Democrats. The magnifi cent Femocratic majority in New York city, when its vote is polled,, cannot be overcome by the Repub lican vote of the rural districts." 'I'h-. ICiiiii :)! It I'owrr. Whatever may be the resiilt of the voting for Secretary of the Siate, one feature of the contest for that office will be as a fire set in a dry forest. We allude to the shame less appearance in politics of the rum and beer power, openly striking at a candidate for Secretary of State on the ground that he has dared to vote for limiting the rav ages of the giant evil of modern times by restrictive legislation.- "New York Mail and Express (Ind.") TW Outlook for ltsl. The result of the election of Tues day is to add largely to the number of States in which the presidential conte t of 1884 may be expected to be close or doubtful. Virginia has Ihmmi added to the Democratic col umn making the South again sdlid, and creating a firm basis of tr3 electoral votes on which to begin calculations for the 201 needed to elect. New-Jersey has just dem onstrated that she may fairly be relied upon to cast her 1 votes in 1H84 for the Democratic candidate. California may be expected, with some confidence perhaps, to add her 8 votes, brinariug the total of tolerably cu tainVotes for -1884 up to 170. Of the other States w hich are commonly reckoned Democrat ; u and whiHl in 182 or Iitte ave Democratic majorities Connecti cut on Tuesday last apparently commit ted hefvtdf to the Republican cause, but apparently only. There remain Indiana with 1.1 votes, Ne vada with 3, Ohio with 2.1 and New York with Xti, from which to draw the- S votes required, in addition to those of the South, New Jersey ' and 'Cufiforiiia, to make the 201 needed under the last appoition- ; incut. .In view of the Jailing Dem- oeiatic niajorities of November 0 in New York, Connecticut and other Northern States, all the States just , mentioued will be most' - safely ac- i counted doubtful. Should Ohio and Indiana go Democratic and Neva- j da and New York Repu ilican the Democrats would havei more ;than enough votes to elect a Democratic President. Ou the other haud, if New York should go Democratic no votes would be required from either Indiana or Ohio. In brief, Demo cratic success iii 1884 w ould seem to require absolutely, 'apart from victories not to be expected, that New York should go Democratic, J or in default of that, both Indiana ) and Ohio, and. in addition to these, 1 of Northern or Pacific States the following: New Jersey and Cali fornia. There is a fighting -chance in all these States. Less of the self-confidence which operated so ; badly in some States ou Tuesday I and more hard w ork may enable j the Democrats to wm these States ' and perhaps others. There is cer ', tainly no eause for democratic dis ; couragemeiit.- "Baltimore Sun, I Ind." LET AI.I. T1IG ESDS THOU 4IJI WILSON, NORTH CAROLINA, NOVEMBER 2-3. 1883.

Drake's wife was converted and received to baptism by the New Hope Baptist church. This enraged the feelings of her husband, and he r.ffiruied that he Avould shoot Mr. Hicks t f he drown ed his wife (a thing he was fear ful of). When the baptism took place lie followed, them into the water to a considerable depth. But God blessed the ordinance to his conviction- He went home ami took his bed sick- ; After, sonic time he sent for Mr. Hicks who preach ed in Vis house, and after which Mr. Drake expressed .adesi re to be baptized. lie was received then and there when Mr. Hicks said be would attend to his baptism to morrow. Mr. Drake said, no, not, to-morow, I want it done to-night. Torches were provided, and unable to walk he was carried down to the river and 'was baptized '.by torch light. After being brought up out of the water, he felt able and walk ed home. . v -- '. - A Bird AligMs on a Bride's Snouider.

The bird then fiew to an other part of the church, and, flut tering a moment above the head of Mrs. Breuan; mother of the. bride, rested upon her head ; then, flying, it settled upon the shoulder of the bride and remained there during the ceremony, and then took its flight through the open- window.

SINCE TIIE DIS COVERY OF TIIE COTTOX GIN- HUMAN FINGERS XO L.OXGEJ! j NECESSARY FOR GATHERING ! TIIE SOUTHERN STAPLE. -A. machine for picking cotton in the field has just been completed and recently tested at Sumter, S. C. Practical farmers say that it is destined to create a revolu tion in the agriculturalists of the cotton States. A syndicate, of Charleston men have purchased a controlli.ig interest in the patents, and the machines will be put upon the market for sale or lease next season. A charter has been secur ed, ,and the company will be organ ized within a few days and the nec essary capital furnished to enable the rapid manufacture of the ma chines. : THE INVENTOR. The inventor of the machiuM is Charles T. Mason, Jr., a native of Sumter, S. C, and a master ma chinist of extraordinary skill and ingenuity. He is at this time only twenty-eiyut years of age. THE FIRST IDEA. As curly1 as 1874 Mi.- Mason con ceived the idea of constructing a machine for the harvesting- ot cot ton which would take the place of j the slow and expensive process of i picking the staple hv hand. At- tempts had lieen made to construct such a machine as early as 1S."4, but bad prove t futile, owing to the apparently insuperable obstacles in the way. As ia well known to ! every one acquainted with the I growing of cotton, . tlie bolts con I ruining the staple open at different i times, and on different portions of the-plant at the same time. Thus i there are open bolls, ready to In- picked, green unopen tolls, blooms and embrjo bolls (known as "forms'') on the plant at one aud the same time. The requirements, therefore, of a machine for harve.st inir cotton are that it shall he so constructed as to discriminate be- ; tween the open cotton and the uno pen lo!ls, blooms and forms. ' That is to say that the machine shall be able to ick out the cotton from the open bolls without ir.juring the green bolls, blooms and forms, without tearing the foliage ofi the dant and without licking Avith the staple any trash or dead particles of the plant which may lower the grade of the cotton. To accomplish such a task by mere machinery seems to be au impossibility, and in fac-. ui to the construction of the ! machiUe now described, out of near- y one hundred patents granted for Till OOD'S. (Ml Till TIIV - to warrant -.their .'manufacture use. ... yiIAT THE MAt HIXE WILL DO. ' A staff reporter for the- 'News and Courier" saw the machine test ed in a cotton field "on- Mr. Mason's place at Sumter a few days ago. and although the cotton was very wet-from the' long spell" ot wet weather and had been open ready for picking for the last six weeks, the machine, which was operated by one horse and one man, harvest ed cotton at the rate of 200 Huinds an hour, which would W at the rate of 2,000 pounds a working day of ten hours. Mr. Mason is by no means satisfied with the present capacity of the machine and chang es are now being made which, it is believed, will increase its capacity to about -1,000 pounds of eed cot ton a day, which is .-equivalent to tnree oaiesol lintL it can lie very easily "seen, even bv one- unfamiliar with machinery, that the proposed changes will increase the picking capacity of the machine. Whether it will harvest thice bales of cotton! a day remains to be proved. Strik j ing a fair average and putting the! capacity at two bales a day. any i cotton planter who is subject to the ; mtolerab e trials and enormous ex- lumen rtt li'ivi-.-cf- tii.wi will . .... lO. . - - - s appreciate tlie utmost incalculable r aiue oi sucn a maetime. r . : It is superfluous in an article like 1 . , i this to go into an argument to prove , a - & 1 to the cotton planters the value, of 1 a -machine which will render them , , independent of the uncertain audi .... , . lush-priced process of hand pick- ' 1 1 ! mg.

WHAT Till'. MACHINE WILL COST. It is difficult at this time to state what the machines will cost, as the price put upon them will depend very much upon the capacity that is attaiued tlnit is to say, upon the quantity of cotton that each machine will harvest in a day. It will be the effort of the syndicate, if the machines are sold outright, to place them at such a figure that they can be paid for jn one season by the saving to the cot ton planter in the cost of harvesting his crop. It may be, however, that tiie policy of those controlling the patents will lie to lease the machines. These are matters which - the company will determine later. In the mean while every nerve will le strained to make the machines perfect. THE FIRST MACHINE-PICKED HALE. Tin first bale of .cotton 'picked by the machine and the very first bale ever harvested by-machinery is ex pected to be on .exhibition 'to-day or to-morrow at the Charleston Cot ton Exchange. The grade oi' the cotton is not (he b.-st, no particular attention being paid to its cultiva tion. It was planted merely for ex perimental purposes, and much of it was allowed to remain open1 in the field for several weeks lie fore it was licked. Its condition as to cleanliness .ami freedom fro:!! trash, however, will show that the ma chine has : practically solved the great problem of harvesting cotton by machinery.

Now I hen- is one rule i ; which should govern each. -'Each must consider the capabilities then are in mom y, and each must devote his intellect to the discov ery of how-he can so employ these capabilities as to get the very greatest possible good out of it. To do that, it is very plain, iu the first place, that money must be iwi-il I'mised moiii'V is iu.st as valueless as any other uiiusimI thing. A million of, dollars laid away in a safe are just as useless as a million of jvennies, or a million of wafers, or a million sand grains. In none of hee cases there growth for the future. In none of thee cases is there utility tor the present. It has se Ciucd to me that money is very miich'like the water in the skin-bags- which a travelW car ries on his journey across the desert. Iff may spill the w hole hi the sands w here it can never be gathered up; or, he may scud all his bags of water untouched to the place which he. set out to reach. In both cases he' may perish iu the wiltjerness. There is a third thing he may do He may use if all --NUMBER 41 - "ffi ' his water, preserve his life. TIeis 1 reduced to the J alternative ot doing the one or the other. If he 'be- a prudent man he will use his ! water, not lavishly but discreetly and thus get tho whole goinl out of all that he starts with, j It is so w ith money, whether a out of his money, lie will not go into excesses Wcause he has ex- i ei's.sive ricnes, ioi tuai uum iv get the evil there is in the mon- !"ey, i But no man can have lived in , .1. .. . ,..1.1 the world without discovering that the greatest enjoyments which a man can possibly: have are not those-which consist in taking care of himself, great as they are, but in what he does for others. If there were no higher motive than the purest and best selflove, a man l'ould spend much of his time and much of his money in con j sidel ing and siqiplying the wauta of others; but he who has never done that has never known life's highest rapture. lie has only known what the sleek and petted horse in Ji is -stable has enjoyed Men of wealth ought to '.take time to consider how they arte" to spend their -money; whereas, it secnis to me, that in a large ma jority of cases the only question they consider is how to increase their money. There is a moral re sponsibility connected with all possessions. A man must answer to 'God as well for evry dollar of his money as for every minute of his t inuv It does not seem to me that the wisest way is for a man to spend all his lifetime accumu lating immense estate which lie iufends shall go into lienevoicnt work after his death, and then transfer the whole responsibiht v of the management of those estates to the shoulder of others, after his death, by a few sentences written jii iris will. He fails to discharge the duty of managing his money. lie fails to have that most divine joy of seeing his self-sacrifice pro duce blessings for others. Nor Should a rich man, say "I;have accumulated a very great deaf of monev; I will si t aiart enough to carry me through lite, and then I will give the balame away;" and having, s said, commence to give to every begga'- that conies, and simply case his conscience by rtl- owing others to ease linn 01 ins iiioiicy. that would not only lie foolish, but-jf would 1h' absolutely criminal. It would be that premi Din on incndicancy w hich so many easy, lazy people now make, with tiie thought that they ar.- liberal. A man should think where each thousand dollars will do the most good, not .si iii ply. in relieving the pressing immediate wants of those about him. but iu oiening fountains of benefactions that shall run years after he is dead. There is no bless ing pronounci d ou -tho person who gives to every 1 poor man. The Holy .Scriptures say,' "Blessed is he who eonsidci-eth the poor,", .who studies theii peciuiar wants in or der to relieve them iu the liest way. I have a niiniber of acquaint anccs in iny circle to whom it would be easier to draw a check for a thousand dollars than to SMnd one. hour iu bending their intellects to the consideration of a case that already has some claim upon them. A rich man ought no more to 1 1c tow his uioney thoughtlessly iiwn what are railed charities than a business man ought to lKstow his money .thoughtlessly upon what are called investments. When a man beslows his benefactions thus, it if' so far as he himself is con- cei ned, iu when a thirsty- man has i pail of cold watci thrown over him; but whjeii he daces liift money thoughtfully, and knows how it is doing good the liest be can make it Then he is like a thirsty man who ij.ii-uches his thirst with draughts of w .iter. So my answer is, that a rich man must do' with his wealth that which 'will cause' hint -to have the good of it. The question for him to decide' is, w hat is " having the good of it ?; If he we merely an animal, and not a rational, moral, responsible animal, then "when he got fioiii money what his horse gets namely, food and grooming, he would get all the good he is capa ble of receiving. But a inan is not a brute. He is capable of a-sthetic and moral enjoyments which the brute does not possess, and he has influence over his fellows which the brute does not exert; audit nurd: always be in remembrance o' thei" teadfa,st, solemn facts that he is to ask himself how shall he get the greatest good out of pis money !

It doubtless required a gicat amount of resignatioii and fortitude in a woman to listen to, without screumiug, the ransacking ol her . store of valuable laces and the ap propriation of her jewelry ; bet ; the lady very rationally deemed her life worth all the lace and diamond s in the world, quietly closed her eyes and awaited the result. The light was withdrawn from her face, and she heard the rustling of silks, the nieU in!' nf lnel; :in.l T j - j ....... occasionally the low w hlsper ofsur irise or disappointment.

What a mo ment of suspense ! The light was removed from her fai-e and she felt that some one was leaning against IIic.IkmI. Still she remained mo tionless, nor did she stir when ihe warin breath of the burglar t inned her check. Not unt il his bp. pi ed her forehead did kIic j-.pt ing up and shriek. . 'Who is in this room?" ''Hush!'' responded a voice iu a hoarse whisKr, while a rough hand wasj laid on her shoulder. ''Speak n thing aud fear nothing." The next moment she heard the sound of retreating lootsteps and the creaking of a shutter, then all was still again. Satisfied that she was alone she sprang from the U'd and touched a lighted match to t he burner, then sank into a chair, com plelely prostrated with the- da user through which she had passed. Recovering she I oked around to ascertain of w hat he had Ik-cm plundered. ' , Tho drawers were all in the ut most confusion, but strange h say, little or nothing was misoiug.. A casket of jewelry was open on bureau, but the diamonds and gold were all there.
