As we said last week, we believe it
will pay -tHe farmers to sell their cot
ton as soon as they can conviently do
so. Cotton may go up and it may go
down. It commands a very fair
price now and can be sold at a profit
We see it stated that President
Cleveland will soon put tne . fourth
class postmasters under the CiviL Ser
vice laws. Ol thiswe - are glad, and
hope the day will soon come when all
our postmasters will receive the ben
efits of this law. - '
We have received the premiuni
list of the thirty-third fair of the Cum
berland County Agricultural Society.
The premiums offered are varied and
attactive, and the racing programme
is a good one.1 I The fair will be held
at Fayettveille, November 6th, 7th
and 8th.
The Hon. Thomas Settle and the
Hon. Jeter Pritchard are not agreed
about fusion next year. The first
named is not over in love with the
business, but Mr. Pritchard jsgreatly
in favor ol it. We have no doubt
but that the Republican party will do
whatever Senator Butler says, and
Senator Butler will say, ''luse."
Another evidence of Wilson's
growth is the large addition to the
frieght depot which the Coast Line is
putting up. This much needed im
provement will be of great value to
our citizens as well as to the railroad
company. When the addition is
completed no town in the State will
have better railroad facilities than
Wilson.
In our next issue we hope to pre
sent to our readers an account of the
Atlanta Exposition. The editor is
now in Atlanta and will exert himself
in the interest of his readers. The
exposition is undoubtedly the great
est thing .of its kind ever held in the
South and it is generally thought
to equal the Centennial Exposition at
Philadelphia.
On every hand we see signs of
increased prosperity in our midst.
Already thousands of dollars have
been spent here this summer in build
ing, and we confidently expect the
next six months will usher in a pe
riod of unprecedented prosperity.
Let us prepare for it ; work and talk
for Wilson put your shoulder to tb.e
wheel and shove it up the hilf of pros
perity. '
The sympathies of our people are
with the Cuban patriots in their
struggle to throw off the Spanish
yoke- But poorly armed and equip
ped, these liberty -loving people are
making a valiant effort to overthrow
ihe existing government, and are now
seeking recognition as a beligerant
power. Should this government or
some foreign power recognize the rev
olutionists, thus enabling them to ob
tain arms and equipments sufficient to
place their entire fighting force in the
field, the days of Spanish domination
would soon be a thing of the past.
Bv the eoression I'-onesidlt as ' Our ery plea.sanl ra:;V$a'd "agent j j
applied to
mean that character has but one
s:de
but that one side is abnormally
lengthened. Human nature is many
sided. It is a great polyhedron
bounded by physical, mental, moral
and spiritual lines. This polyhedral
nature becomes a monstrosity when
one side is so unduly extended as
that no other side can be said
r
to
exist.
It is not complimentary to a man
to be called a name which does not
represent a fair part of his nature.
The "dude extends the line of per
sonal appearance so far that the
idea of mentality is entirely swal
lowed up in the word '-dude." The
"educated fool" extends the line of
theoretical acquisitiveness so far
that the line of common sense is en
tirely obscured. The religious fanat
ic is nothing but one long drawn line
of spirituality which in the drawing
out process has lost its beauty and
power.
We may take each "department of
nature and find it "one sided." We
find examples of one sidedness in the
physical department. Many women
and some men make' nothing of j

molating -themselves so; unfeelingly
on the altar of that fair, eoddess we
call: Fashion. . While this goddess
wirhone hand moulds the body of
the devotee into beautiful shapes and
tints it with beautiful colors she, with
with the other hand, crushes the life
out of the same body. In the social
department, worth in homespun
knocks at the door of the Four Hun
dred, while moral rottenness in purple
is ushered in with riotous lanfare and
under showers of roses. On the stat
ute books 1 of the Social Queen ob
scurity is often a crime and gilded
notoriety a virtue.
In the intellectual department the
scholar often wastes the life resources
of his intellect in classifying butter
flies and articulating the disjointed
bones of monkeys, while he might
devote the same resources to splendid
achievements that would cause -the
world to shout lor j iy. In the moral
and religious department we find
some wno neglect the graver duties
of life to scatter tracts where bread is
needed. Denominationial bigotry
will kiss Sweet Charity on its own
door-step but will spurn' her else
where. ;
There can be no moral beauty and
strength in "one-sidedness." "One
Sidedness" is crankiness with the
revolving power elimated. Con
servative characters are the ones that
give stability to the world.

ENLIGHTENED TEXAS.
The country is to be congratu
lated that the Corbett-Fitzsimmons
fight will not take place in Texas.
A good many people thought that
Governor (ulbertson was working a
game of bluff, following the example
set by Governor Mitchell, ot Florida,
but everybody is now ready to ac
knowledge that, the Governor meant
business from the first. We consid
er the action of the Texas Legisla
ture one of the greatest moral victo
ties that has ever heen won in thr
j United States, or for that matter, in
J the whole world. Such a thing as a
I prize fight ought" not to be permit
; ted any where, and especially among
j a people as highly intellegent as are
our citizens. Some people have
looked on Texas as a Vtough state"
but the action of her governor and
legislature lifts her out of such a class
forever. -

Vh-n she was at Mr. Winer's
Then it was that I could find her ;
Now 1 am so melancholiy,
Because she has gone to Raleigh.
The dayhe left I'll never tell
How profusely the water fell ;
Because I knew it was folly
For her to go up to Raltigh.
Let me consider how I feci,
. I love her clrar down in my heel ;
The time.' will come. I'M !.e jolly,
The day she comes back from
Raleigh.

To think that. I am left ;.lone

And take her from that blamed
