Was Esther Wake A Myth ?
For almost 106 years the people
of this State have reposed belief in
the pleating- tradition that Wake
county N. C. was named in honor of
Esther Wake, the beautiful sister-in-law
of Governor Tryon, the Royalist,
who near the time of the Revolution
ary" war, by oppressive taxation,
reared a palace 'in New Berne which

The Raleigh correspondent of the
Charlotte Observer says mconoclatts
have now arisen who deny that
Esther Wake ever existed, and assert
that the whole tradition is a myth.
Much has been written about it. 0;
application to Judge Walter Clark,
your correspondent learns that he
has already written Mr. Noel Gains
burg, who has so long represented
North Carolina in the public records

open correspondence with the head
of the Tryon family, and learn the
truth of the Esther Wake matter.
Admiral Tryon, who last year
went down with his battle-ship, the
Victoria, in the Mtditerianean, was a
grandson of Gov. Tryon. Judge
Clark is also endeavoring, through
the same medium, to open'communi
cation with the representatives cf
Gov. Josiah Martin, the last royal
Governor ef Noith Carolina. He
thinks that in the private p ipers ol

Why is .e k lrritablt:
This question is often heard and
nearly as often unanswered.
It is not always remembered as if
should be, that the occasion of ill-temper
and irritability is often to be found
in the physical condition of the persons
affected. What is the use of trying to
harmonise a man whose liver has gone
back on him? If a man is tortured
with rheumatism, ljow can he be ex
pected to be cheerful and always ready
to tell a fanny story? The only way to
remove the difficulty is to get at the
cause. Dyspepsia, rheumatism, impure
bioqd and liver troubles yield to
Hood's Sarsaparilla; this is why it is an
effective tranquilizer, a peaceful mes
senger, and-a preventive of domestic
quarrels.
Learn to laugh. A ood laugh is
better than medicine. Learn how to
tell a story. A well told story is as
welcome as a sunbeam in a sick room
I Learn to keep your own trouble
to
yourself. The world is too busy to
care for your ills and sorrows. Learn
to stop croaking. If you cannot see
any good in the world keep the bad
to yourself. Learn to hide your pains
and aches under a pleasant smile. No
one aires io hear whether you have
the earache, headache ,or rheumatism.
Don't cry. Tears do well enough in
novels, but they are out of place in
real life. Learn to meet your friends
with a smile. The good humored
man or woman is always welcome
but the dyspeptic or hypochondriac
is 10 want d anywhe e. and is a
nuisance at last. Ex.

Hot Permitted to officiate in a Democratic

Easton, Md., October 29. Senator
Gibson did not preside over the demo-

naturally be eonsided the biggest man
in his party, at his own home. l!ut he
was not even given a seat on the plat-
form in front of the people, who he was
sentto Washington to represent. The
central committee was plainly told sev
eral days ago by a member of the anti
Gibson democrats that if he should be
made chairman of the meeting that at
least one hundred prominent democrats
would leave the hall in one body. Their
