" If snj man would not work, neither ahould he eaL" The plain mean ing of this pasaage in iu broad sense, is this, il any man's work i not productive of good to so ciety, neither shall he enjoy the common beue fiu of aociety. Th Great Teacher of the world ha clearly taught tb tain doctrine in the parable of the talents and thw barmr trw " In tlle parallle" of the talents, those who improved them to the gW,SocltIty rmWt x hut the mwi of one talent, who buried it, or failed to ua It to the geCHers good, was condemned and cast out aa an unprofitable servant into outer, darkneas. Now, if tbe mer burying of a talent (which made it at least haruileas to aociety) it a good reason in divine procedure for expelling a man from the aociety of tbe good, how much more will an employment constantly active in produc ing gigantic evil to society, (a the liquor trade does) expel iU agent from th protection of ao iuty.

I : la closing ojir remarks, we will give a state- meatof our argument. - 1L Every employment ha H daim for protection upon the ground of promoting th mtoreat of society. Then what ever business advances tbe good of society must be protected by it shield. Id. The business of tbe liquor traffic contri bute no element of good to society ; but on the contrary, taps its foundation destroy it tal, bodily and moral vkmeuU, therefore it baa forfeited all chiiiu to protection. Whatever de stroys society forfciu ita right on society for pro jection, the liquor buninst doe thie, therefore the liquor buainea has no right of protection. . H. T. HUDSON. Salisbury, May 8, 1894.

THE ECUPSE. The eclipse of the tnn, which take place thia afternoon, will be annular that is, the moon at the time of ita transi tion appearing smaller than tlie tnn, it will not entirely cover it, but leave at the moment of i greatest eclipse, a narrow ring light. BVith the beginning and the end of the eclipse will be visible in all parte of tii Unite StatetwiTha : New York Pott furnishe tome particular fnat wiU be read with interest :-Sout Caro linian, May 26. The shadow of the moon comintr across tne x acme nrst reaches uie coast ot ual- ifornia; near Ban Francisco, about iudifhW'tfwPlawk Eoad, at depth of 80 to past two in the afternoon, by Washing ton ume, or anout nau past eleven in tne morning, by the time of Kan Francitco ; and in two ho art will have covered near ly the whole continent Of JN orth Amen ea, with ita southern limit in the south ern part of Mexico, and ita northern lim it beyond the northern pole. It will continue on tli whole of the United State nearly an hour and a half ; when first ending, on the Pacific coast, it will past from the wuole country in lest than any minute. The eclipse will begin in this city abont aixteen minutet past tour in the afternoon, and end about thirty-eight minutet past six ; tbe moon will cover from ten to eleven-twelfths of the tun's diameter. The effect of an annular eclipse on the earth and sky is less striking than that of total eclipses, which are described by those who have seen them as presenting an awful aspect during the time that to tal darkness lasts. Tbe advance of the total shadow around the horizon can be seen from an eminence, and as it comet on It plunges the regions in its path into appahng darkness, while a gloom hangs oyer tlie rest ot the .country. But the appearances of the earth and the sky during an annular eclipse, though worthy of more notice than it often inven, are not the principal feature unless the ring will be, where it can be seen, the great attraction of the occasion, and will, probably, injure the eyes or many admir ers.

Tlie road from Charlotte, in the direc tion of Wilmington, will not go direct t the latter town, but will take advantage of a connection with th Wilmington and Manchester railroad tome forty -five mi lea this aide of Wilmington, not leaving , ' quite eight milee to be constructed. Thit road, known at th Atlantic, ; Tennea te and Ohio railroad, from ita termina tion at Charlotte, will, beside ita project- avail Itself of a contemplated connection, in part by the North Carolina railroad,' between Charlotte and Danville. It will also connect with what It known aa the Western Etens1on" of th North Car-.' olina road, penetrating the western and! graingrowing counties of North Carolina, and a glance at the map of the two State will ahor any one that by these connec- " tiont we are likely to be cut off from that portion of the trade and travel of North 1 Carolina which now comes over our own ud conntrv roada and find an outlet at Charleston. But further examination of the map Will show that a road direct from Anfirns- ta to Columbia, thence to Charlotte, and following the North Carolina Road to the Danville connection, must become the leading thoroughfare for tlie travel,, and perhaps the mails, North and South, and thia is alone a stimulant whicn71iliSut3 unse ns in completingour road to Angnsta. . 1 Another feature fa thia, that ahould tlie extension of the road, .. from Wilmington to Charlotte bo contin- ' nod to Jonesboro', which it donbtleet will be, it will invest the Charlotte and South Carolina lUilred with the power of for- rnidable rivala for tlie exportation of wes tern produce.
