The New York Herald’s efforts to
secure the Democratic Convention
for that city are bearing -some beau
tiful fruit. It heads the list of con
tributors with the princely sum of
$10,000 aud yesterday it stood at
$32,700. New York should be the
convention city, and it will be. if
energy, pluck, determination, liber
ality and enterprise on the part of
its people count for anything.
Martinez Campos, the governor
general of Cuba, is an old soldier
from way back, but he seems to
have met his match in Maximo Go
mez, the leader of the Cuban forces.
With an. army that is almost a rab
ble—-save for thorough discipline—
Gomez has pushed his way from the
Orient, in the face of the flower of
the Spanned chivalry, and is now
established 45 miles from Havana
and is threatening the Spaniards in
their entrenchment. He thrashed
Campos severely and the latter
scarcely saved himself. This was
about ten days ago. Later, it was
bulletined in Havana that the
Spaniards had driven Gomez back
and that he was making for the
everglades in the Southern part of
the island. Later, three days ago
in tact, he reappeared, sparer the
capitol than ever before and then
there was a mighty scurrying,
hither and yon and trains rushing
North and South all night long.
Surely, surely, these gallant souls
have won the spurs for Cuba libre,
which should be recognized as
among the family of nations.
Dr. Shields, an eminent pnysician
of Tennessee, says: ‘T regard Ayer’s
Sarsaparilla as the best blood medi
cine on earth, and I know of many
wonderful cures effected by its use.”
Physicians all over the land have
made similar statements.
The Fourth Street Druggist,
splendid work.
The maximum temperature here
for the 24 hours ending at 8 o’clock
this morning was 62° aud the mini
mum 24°, a range of 36 degrees, which
is a big drop from yesterday after
noon to this morning.
There were four false alarms of
fire this morning in one hour, be
tween 1 and 2 o’clock. It is shame
ful. So great has this nuisance be
come that Chief tNewman, by direc
tion of Alderman VouGlahn, chair
man of the Fire Committee, will
close the boxes and leave the keys i
with the nearest householders.
Who says this hasn’t been a cold
day? At 8 o’clock this morning the
thermometer was Sown to24°, which
is, we believe, the lowest of the
season thus far, and the wind was
cavorting around at th - rate of 18
miles an hour, from the northwest.
At Hatteras it was 36 miles and the
centre of the gale seems to have
been there. The temperature at
Raleigh stood at 18, 0 at Charleston
at 28 and at Norfolk at 20.
The Modern Mother.
Has found that her little ones are
improved more by the pleasant lax
ative, Syrup of b igs, when in need
of the laxative effect of a gentle
remedy than bj' any other, and that
it is more acceptable to them. Chil
dren enjoy it and it benefits them.
The true remedy, Syrup of Figs, is
manufactured by the California Fig
Syrup Co. only.
For the Men.
A special address to men will be
delivered by Dr. J. C. Kilgo, presi

and a good speech may be expected.
Dr. Kilgo, tho’ a young man, is one
of the leading educators of the
South, and has won an enviable
place iu his denomination in this
State. He preached two sermons
in this city three months ago which
were very highly complimented by
those who heard them.

up ths broad, aisle alone in all of

Synopsis of the Weasner.
The following is a synopsis
weather for the 24 hours ending .
eight o’clock to-day, prepared by
the U. S. Weather Bureau:
The pressure has increased more
or less all over the country, except
in the extreme west and northwest
where it has been diminished slight
ly. The high area in the northwest
yesterday morning has moved south-
east, and this morning covers al
most the whole of the map, but is
central chiefly in Missouri, Arkan
sas and Oklahoma; the storm in the
northeast nas moved slightly north-

Teach us. With all its light-
Its day, its night,
Its heart-beats tremulous;
Its grief, its gloom.
Its beauty and its bloom,
God made the world, for us!
O New Year ! may thy feet,
Shod with the sunlight, make th?
field aud street
Blush with undying flowers :
Make musical the hours
That lead as to the Silence that if
sweet
With violet dreams
And immemorial gleams
Of palaces-and places
Where on unshadowed faces
The Light Eternal screams!
We yield ourselves to thee,
New Year, for life, for love, for lip*
erty ! •
Masters and slaves—
Winners of glory aud the grass oi
Temper the storm-winds where our
steps must be!
Reign thou as by God’s grace,
