THE ROANOKE NEWS THURSDAY, MAY 11, 1893. ifdi v i iiiiimt 1M1 ui ii ii rr r tjt x. v - THE ROANOKE NEWS THURSDAY MAY 11, 1893. The town of Kenilworth, Dear Aslie villo, with all other towns in the State elected municipal officers on the 1st of Mav. In that iilace there were only four registered voters Three of these voted for one of the others, and at one o'clock three votes were cast and there was a tie. At two o'clock the fourth voter went to the polls and voted for one of the three, and he was declared elected, having re ceived two votes. The other three were elected commissioners. This is prohahly the smallest municipal vote cast in the State this year. That was a (fame judge who defied a mob in Mississippi last week. White caps had fr sometime been a terror in Lincoln county, and Judj;e Christman had been waging a relentless war against lawlessness, especially that indulged in by white caps. Judge Christman was hold ing court at Brook Haven when a party of one hundred armed men rode up, sur rounded the court house and demanded the release of ten men who were in jail on indictments charging them with white capping. Judge Chrisftnao defied the mob in the face ofthoir threats to kill him, and held them at bay for an hour until a company of the State Guard ar rived and dispersed the mob. It has been decided that the remains of the late President Davis will be brought to Raleigh and remain there three hours on the 29th inst. It is the last stop be fore reaching Richmond, where the re mains are to be permanently interred. Greensboro asked this honor, but as there was only time to make one stop in the State those having the matter in charge left it to Governor Carr to decide at what place that stop should be made, and the Governor very properly decided upon Raleigh. It is proper that North Caro lina should have this opportunity to do honor to one who always recognized the devotion and loyalty of the Old North State; and we sincerely hope that the people of the State will not Deglect the occasion, but will pay every respect to the afhes of the dead chieftain. TuEaswas great excitement in Wall street last week, and stocks dropped remarkably low. But while they were down many shrewd men, including English brokers, purchased large blocks. There were several heavy failures, amon;j them being S. V. White, a famous Wall strees oper ator, who, by the way, is a native of Chatham county, and has many relatives in that part of the State. So far as Wall street is affected by the demoralization people generally will care but little, but the trouble is the effects will extend more or less over the whole country. As the Aeres and Observer says, too much depends on New York, which in turn is largely affected by Wall street. The ups and duwui of the stock market influence the action of tho New York banks, and tho connection of these institutions with the banks in distant States is altogether too close. Onr con temporary continues: "Our system is a very undesirable one. Too much depends on New York. The truth is we have entirely too little circulation in this coun try, and the volume of currency has no elasticity. If business iu North Carolina for iostauce, should demand a milliun of dollars, our only chance to get it is by borrowing from the North. Should the North need more money at the same time our wants canuot be supplied. This is one of the reusous wo have so persistently advocated State banks of issue. Such institutions would arrange to impart an elasticity to tho currency, and theie wuulu never be such a stringency as would em barrass business." There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last i"'W years was supposed to be incurable. Fur a great many years doctors pronounced it a Ineal disease, aud prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to care' witli iocil treatment, pronouueed it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a con stitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney k Co , Toledo, Ohio, is the only cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspooDful. It acts directly on the blood mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. F.J. CHENEY & CO., Proprietors, Toledo, 0. Sold by all Druggists, 75c. Testimonials free. F. H. Battle, Esq., of Rocky Mount, has I eon re-elected mayor for the seventh time. I. the April number of the North Carolina Teacher Judge Walter Clark has an article on our State motto and coat of arms. It will be remembered that the General Assembly of 1893 made some changes in the coat of arms. The act provides that the words l;20 May, 1775'' shall be placed in the upper part of the State's coat of arms, thus properly recognizing the Mecklenburg declaration of American Independence. The act also provides that the phrase "Esse quaui videri" be also placed on the coat of arms as the State's motto. The meaning of the motto is "To be rather than seem to be." The reason Latin was used is be cause it is fur more condensed and terse, says Judge Clark, the three Latin words requiring seven English words to express the same idea. The phrase is first found in Cicero's essay on friendship, and being a strking one has been adopted by no less than three noble English houses and numerous literary societies. Everyone of the origiual thirteen States now has a ujutto, North Car. lina being the last to adopt one. This action relative to the State coat of arms d ies not in any way interfere with county coats of arms or s als, and they can still have such inscrip tions as they may choose. The county of Halifax has on its seal the words "Constitution. 1 776," because i State constitution was first adopted at Halifax in that year. There has been a good deal of talk from time to time about the "New South," and much has been done by people who know nothing about the South, either as it was before the war or as it is now, but who want to make capital with Northern people and be lionized as grtat orators or something of the kiud. It is refreshing to read the speech of the Hon. W. C. P. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, made in Philadelphia a short time ago, the occas ion being the celebration of the anniver sary of General Grant's birthday. Mr. Brcckinridg's utterances will be endorsed by every true Southerner. Among other things he said: "I hear to-night of'a new South. There is no new South in a certain sense, but in another there is a new North and new South and a new Republic that has emerged from these dark days of strife. We are a new people; we see each other better than out fathers did; we know each other better than our elder brothers knew, but it is on the old south on which you are to build. It is no maudlin new South, denying its heroes, on whom you are to build, but an old South, proud of its people. We! We! are citizens of the new Republic, faithful to our allegiance aud true to the flag. Having lost like gentlemen, we abide by the result of the conflict. It isn't tho man who apologizes whom you need to build upon; it is the man who did his best and is deuced sorry he couldn't do more who mako a strong republic, for he feels how that this is eoun try and he will be loyal to it." The great Columbian Exposition opened at Chicago on May 1st. Presi dent Cleveland, members of his cabinet and high officials of various Staffs, with numerous and distinguished represents lives from foreign lands, were present; and surrounded by President Cleveland set the machinery in motion by simply pressing a buttou. One bundled aud fifty thousand people listened to the Presi dent's speech aud witnessed the opening exorcises. Four hundred years ago America was discovered by Christopher Columbus, and a lineal desceudant of his, the Duke of Veragua, was at Chicago to witness the opening of the grandest exposition the wurld has ever seen, inaugurated to commemorate the grandest achievement known to history. What changes have takeu place since Culumhiia landed! Everything marks it The wonderful unchiilery, the inventioi s and Hppltutii's hi all directions, (lie science.-, the urts, every industry mark ripi'J strides in progress all along the lihu. Probably the most striking evi dence "I the vast strides that have been made by the wnrld since the days of the great discoverer is a comparison of the vessels in which he made his three months' voyage in unknown seas with the magnificent ocean palaces of the present day. The largest ship of Columbus fleet was about seventy-five feet long and the smallest about thirty feet. They were sailing vessels, and to our eyes totally unfit to brave the storms of the Atlantic. The models of these vessels which were at the naval review wero brought here under the care of vessels of the Spanish Davy, and it was a matter of great doubt whether they would safely cross the ocean. But at the Exposition the conceptions and accomplishments of the whole world will show the wonderful achievements of this nineteenth century. Never again, perhaps, will there be such a display. 1 A MANGY TltlCK. A lexasman lias discovered a way to exterminate wolves. He traps some and locks them up with dogs that have the mange, and then turns them loose to scatter the mange around with the other wolves and make them scratch themselves to death. This is a mangy trick to piny even upon a wolf. PAY FOU A STOLEN 1IOKSE. It is not often that a man gets pay fr a horse stolen from him nearly thirty years before, but such a case is reported frum Tennessee, where a farmer Iibn just received Ju'85 from a Pennsylvania rutin for a horse to which tho Pennsylvania man helped himself iu 1804, when he was a soldier. He figured out the value of the horse, with 6 per cent, interest for the time, aud sent the amount, StiSo, which came in the nick of time, as the Tennessee man was pretty hard up. PKETTY HUSH GIliLS. Twenty five handsome Irish girls are coming under charge of Lord aud Lady Aberdeen, to show up the Irish village at the World's Fair. They will never get back, for if Chicago men know a good thing when they see it, and they have that reputation, they will freeze to these Irish lassies. Wil. Star. WHAT A NE WSPAPElt IS. Henderson Gold Leu. Some people do not properly estimate tho importance of a newspaper. How many families are there in which you find none not even the county paper, which everyone ought to read, and for which few men are really too poor to pay. It makes no difference whether you like the editor or not, or whether the paper reflects your individual ideas of politics religion, economic and social questions, there cannot fail to be much that will interest and benefit you in the course of year's reading, As some one has truly said I he newspaper is the cheapest thing a man can buy and will pay the biggest returns for the amount invented in the long run. It costs less than to send or receive a single letter. What good dots it do you? It instructs you and broadens your views. It interests your wife, and it educates your children, it oomes to you every week, rain or shine, calm or storm, bringing you the news of the busy world. No matter what happens, it en ters your door every week as a welcome friend, full of sunshine and cheer arid interest. It opens the door of the great world and puts you face to face with its people and its great events It shortens the long summer days, and it enlivens the long winter nights. It is your ad viser, your gossip and your friend. No man is just to bis children who does not give them a good paper to read. No man is good to himself and his wife who does not take a newspaper, and the local coun ty paper should claim his attention, chal lenge his admiration and command his support first. ADVERTISEMENTS.
