ATAXDAKD NOTES.
TnE Greensboro Workman is im
proving with age.
TnE "early bird catches the worm,"
is a startling discovery of late.
The opening of the Legislature
was smiled upon by the loveliest of
weather.
There seems to be no doubt that
a Railroad Commission bill will be
enacted by the Legislature.
The wealthiest man. Col. Paul
Cameron, in the State is dead. He
died at the a;e of 83 years.
Mr. M. A.Underwood has bought
out his partner's interest in the
Monroe ltegister. Thats a good
paper, and the Standard hopes that
.brother Underwood has an under
hold on the people.
The "roses may come again," but
lost opportunity will scarcely re
turn. Could not a survey of the It.
& S. route be brought about by the
authorities : I his is a pointer, gen
tlemen of Concord.
What's become of the Salisbury
Watchman ? We must be boycotted
by Brother Ramsey. If that paper
doesn't soon appear, our fighting
editor will be sent up to "thrash
out the red-headed son of toil.
The High Point Enterprise says,
since holidays, that there is a "bustle
around the factory." Has the bustle
become fashionable again ? If so,
holidays must not be viewed with
much pleasure about High Point
The High Point Enterprise is
very mad about its town sidewalks.
That's right, brother ; if you have
any need for such institutions about
your moral vineyard keep jobbing
the snort ribs of your town fathers.
The wrecked bank at Fayetteiille
is now said not to be as bad as was
first reported. Business around the
oldjeity is moving alng without a
jar, and no one will be hurt to any
great extent by the recent financial
break.
The people have a warm time in
electing members to the Legislature,
and then the members have a bard
time in getting around the numerous
candidates for speaker, reading clerk,
etc. There are said to be at least a
dozen candidates for these positions
to every Legislator.
F. B. Arendell, of Salisbury, in a
long letter to the Raleigh Chronicle,
says: "I hope the Legislature will
appropriate $100,000" towards mak
ing a display at the Worlds rair,
The Standard hopes it will not, and
we II bet a mule that our hopes will
be realized. The very idea of vot
ing $100,000 to be wasted in such
work when $10,000 is enough. It is
mighty easy to talk about appropri
ating this and that, but there are
places here right now where many
$100,000 are needed.
A SCHOOL OF PHABNACT.
To the point ! The State requires
every man who desires to fill a pre
scription or act a druggist to un
dergo an examination before a board,
appointed to examine and issue li
cense to successful applicants. This
is juat and right. But, on the other
hand, it compels attainments in a
man, yet provides not the means or
opportunity for the prosecution of
studies looking to such attainments.
The meeting of the druggists at
Morehead last summer resolved to
ask the Legislature for an appropri
ation of $4,000 this year and $1,000
each year afterwards; $3,000 to be
used for the purchase of a necessary
laboratory and $1,000 for the salary
of a professor. The school to be
located at Chapel Hill. The Stand
ard sees nothing wrong about this,
but sees many reasons why the ap
propriation should be maue. Why
require a man to equip himself and
then force him to go out of the
State to make the pieparation ?
EDITATIOXAL PROGRESSIVE! ENS !
There is talk of compulsory edu
cation in North Carolina. There
may be and are many reasons for a
compulsory school law, but there are
more reasons why such legislation
would be nnwise. There is getting
to be a great deal of red-tape notions
about some 6chool officials. But
when a true and tried friend for
years Webster's Blue Back Speller
is stabbed and declared useless
and out of date in this age of super
ficial education, you may expect any
thing. Nothing but crankyism
takes well in some quarters. With
the introduction of a few more
cranky systems and a lot of humbug
ideas in our school rooms, well may
we look for some law to force the
children to attend school. There
are sore toes that will dodge this
weight ; but it is a fact, and can
scarcely be denied, that with all the
modern school apparatus, blocks,
sticks, bells, balls, drums, read-before-spell
system, the educational
work done is far below that of ten
years ago. The smelling of flowers,
the counting of sticks, the monkey,
ing with blocks, the marching
around a room, the holding up of
hands, and many other practices
growing out of a modern idea of
teaching, is the cream of tomfoolery
if any educational features are de
sired. But the most ungrateful
thing on record is the act of a
would-be great educator signing an
attack on Webster's Blue Back, a
book that gave him the only genuine
information and education he has!
Such things are sad, indeed.
But be the course as it may, it is
an assured fact that results can
never be had with Harrington's
Speller as hav been enjoyed with
the reliable Blue Back.
But the progressive (?) spirit that
novea for compulsory education is
in full accord wih the spirit that
seeks to introduce cranky features
jirto our public sohools.
THE SPEAKERSHIP.
We are not "Doughton" but what
some one of the Beveral candidates
will be elected. Whoever the for
tunate aspirant is will have to be a
"Skinner," for the race will be a very
close one. His friends trust, how
ever, that the choice will be a repre
sentative from some "wide-a-Wake"
county. At present we are not at all
"Sutton" who the Speaker will be.
We have no apology to make for the
above, as we are expected to do all
we can for the election of every can
didate which we are doing. It
occurred to ns, that to save time and
trouble, we would write an article
that would do full justice to all.
After writing the above few lines,
we became convinced that it was not
within the range of human prosper
ity to do so, so we gie the matter
up, and now give the candidates and
the public the benefit of our failure
Raleigh Chronicle.
THE PUBLIC PKIMTIXO.
A gentleman from Raleigh in
forms us that it is understood in that
city that both the News and Observer
and Chronicle will be candidates for
the State printing contract Je says
further that it is believed that the
legislature will this time let the con
tract out to the lowest bidder. Twin
City Daily-Sentinel.
The News and Observer has not
said anything on the subject.
We thought that the Legislature
had decided that the committee on
Public Printing should make a con
tract with some one to do the public
printing at prices less than the old
rates, and our recollection is that
such a resolution passed the House,
and we thought the benate also.
After readme the above clipping,
we examined the last Acts of Assem
bly, but find no such change in the
law as we expected to nnd.
Under the circumstances we shall
offer to the Legislature to take the
contract for the public work at hf.
teen per cent less than the present
rate3, fifteen per cent, being the bo
nus heretofore received bv the con
tractor. Raleigh News and Ob
server.
Let the lowest bidder have it : but
the fact that the News and Observer
is willing to take it for 15 per cent,
lower than rates now paid, is pretty
good evidence that the State printing
contract is a fat job. Let the agi
tation go on it is good.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS THIS WINTER.
The Board of Education has com
pleted the apportionment of the
school fund to the several districts
of the county. That there will be
a decrease in the length of term is
to be regretted no little. The term
in a number of districts will be four
months long and over, but in others
not quite four. There are several
reasons for this decrease from last
year. Hy a mistake m the report of
school funds, furnished the .Board
of Education last year, over $1,100
were apportioned that did not belong
to the schools but was the fund of
the county this made the schools
longer, on the average, than ever
known before in the county. Be
sides not having the same school
fund by $1,100, the mistake has to
be corrected this year : hence the
decrease could not be avoided, how
ever much regretted.
But with all this, the Standard
rejoices in the fact that there is a
better and greater interest mani
fested in the schools, and that not
a few districts have cultivated the
habit a gool one too of supple
menting the free school with, in
some instances, a two months' sub
scription school. Let that be done
this year! It will be done. The
rural sons of toil are awake; they
are educating themselves and inform
ing themselves as to the leading
issues, etc., and they will not neg
lect provisions for the education of
their children. Educationally the
rural districts have made wonderful
improvements, the cause, in the
main, can be traced back to one
organization. Let it continue the
good work.

Raleigh, N. C, January 6. Hon.
Paul C. Cameron died today nt
Hillsboro, aged eighty-two. He was
the wealthiest citizen in the State,
and had occupied many positions of
trust. He hadbeenjpresident of the
North Carolina railroad, director in
several banks, railroads, etc., was a
large planter in Alabama, Mississippi
and North Carolina, and the largest
stockholder in the cotton mills in
Augusta, N. C.
On Monday night at about two
o'clock the Female Academy was
discovered to be on fire. In answer
to the alarm the fire company and
many of the citizens were soou on
the grounds, but the fire had made
such headway that the building
could not be saved. Most of the
furniture belonging to Prof. Gilles
pie was burned, among this being
three pianos. The fire was doubtless
of incendiary origin. It started iu
the art room, where there had been
no fire for some time. A short time
ago an effort was made to burn this
building, fare being discovered in
two places at tbe same time, but in
time to put it out Tarboro Banner.
Josh Billings once said " that pa
tience was an admirable thing, but
to fish all day and catch nothing was
not patience, but d n laziness-"
The application of this remark may
be seen by a visit to the farm of
Elijah Shiver, a colored man, living
four miles east of Long Creek. Some
fifteen years ago he came to this
county and settled on a bog. By
hard work and honesty he has clear
ed a large farm, raised a family, and
now 1 as several head of horses, a
plenty of meat and corn, and this
week, as he has done before, handed
one of our attorneys a large sum of
money to be loaned out. His note
is worth as much as any man's, black
or white, in the county. Strangers
say tLat our natural advantages are
unequalled, and we ought to be rich.
Why not ? Is it patience or what
Josh calls it? Burgaw Herald-
Over in Granville county, in three
days, there have been four deaths
a white man, two colored men, and
one colored woman. In Brassfields
township, on Col- C. M. Rogers'
plantation. Doc Page was killed
while hunting by the brt ech pin of
his gun blowing out and striking
him above the left eye. In the same
township, on the Fame plantation, W.
T. Parker (white) and Brock Bailey
drank some whiskey and died a few
minutes after. The Oxford Day,
from which we get this information,
says there is a suspicion that the
whiskey was toisonod- The affair
has excited much interest. The
coroner is investigating the matter.
Saturday morning the coroner was
called to Sassafras I ork township
to investigate the death of a colored
woman, where suspicion of foul
play is entertained. It is suspected
that she was beaten to death. Dur

According to the new trains and

Hamlet, N. C, Dec. 31. This
afternoon, while the local freight
and passenger train, bound for
Raleigh, was standing at Merry
Uaks, the through freight came
thundering along down grade at a
rapid rate. Engineer Win. Boyd was
holding the throttle, and seeing that
a collision was inevitable he reversed
his engine and jumped. The fire
man jumped also. Conductor Pete
Pleasants, of Aberdeen, wa3 going
to see his sister married tonight and
was in the cab, but did not jump.
Soon after the engine was reversed a
cylinder burst with terrific explosion.
A colored train hand rushed into
the coach and warned the passengers
to flee for their lives, which they did.
A coach, the engine and two freight
cars were badly demolished, but
nobody was hurt.
Scotland Neck Democrat : A gen
tleman who owns land on the river
remarked to us a few days ago that
he has had many more inquiries this
year concerning these lands than
before. He says that a Philadelphia
company has made inquiries for as
much as thirty-hve thousand acres
from the Grafflin farm map. It is
contemplated by the company to
make a large stock farm. Ve do
not know what is going to be done
with these lands; but we know they
are valuable, and we intend that th:s
paper shall carry the news about
them until other people learn of
them too. And we are quite sure
that our persistence in this direction
has already directed attention to
theut, and we shall continue it,
whether any appreciation is shown
or not, and notwithstanding some
may treat the matter lightly.
State Chronicle: Mr. R. L.
Doughton, of Alleghany, who is in
the city, tells ns that the recent snow
in that county is the biggest and
most ruinous to travel than in ten
years. It was tourteen inches deep
at first, and on Christmas day six
inches more fell. The drift of snow
was very great and in some places it
was oven ten feet deep. About all
the mails have been, blocked up, and
for ten days it was impossible for
the daily mail to get through to
Sparta, the county seat. All travel,
except by horse-back, has been totally
suspended, and the inconvenience
and delay to business has been very
great The snow is still on the
ground. It drifted as it fell, and the
falling snow was so thick that a
traveller could not see his way be
fore him. If the weather had been
very cold, the stock would certainly
have frozen. Alleghany is a great
stockraising county, and if the
weather had been severely cold, the
loss would have been very heavy.
Some of the oldest inhabitants say
that there never was such a drift of
snow seen in the county.

COrGHING ITS CAVSK AM) Ci i
Coughing is an involuntary eJTi
-xil irritating mutter from tl:
or bronchial pussagrs, ami is, ti.ci f :r
r.s nt'i'fssary, at times, as v.ti;i ! i tiu is t
relieve the stomach (if iiuliyt -Til li' c r
poisonous substances. As a pihisl
rulp, when the stomach is im) .nr.': i;cd
of its contents, the ret chin;.' ceasi .
Xot so with bronchial irritation, the
effect b.ing liable to remain long after
the primary eau-o has been lvmoxed.
The reason of this is th'it, in the nets I
coughing :;nd fxpe. tora'ion, th- rm:i .;:;
coating of the throat and air pa.--saj l' n
becomes inflamed and congested ; conse
quent ly the inclination to rough and ex
pectorate still continues nnd the delicate
tissue of the fauces are further irritated.
The great danger of a severe ::ml pro
tracted rough is in the liability either
to rupture h congested bloodvessel or
to cause an irritation and soreness that
may result in ulceration of the limes.
The obvious course of treatment is
to administer, first, an expectorant that
will assist in loosening mid bringing
away the phlegm: and, secondly, :n
anodyne to soothe the inflamed and irri
tated membrane. To accomplish this
two-fold purpose is the design of all
r-ough-cures ; but the danger w ith most
of them is that they are so cloying
to the stomach as to seriously inter
fere with the process of digestion; con
sequently, in the effort to cure one
complaint, the patient is liable tu con
tract another.
What, then, is best to be done? Tha
answer is: Take a medicine that is both
an anodyne and an expectorant one
which loosens the phlegm and soothes
the irritated membrane, but (lues not
interfere w ith, or endanger, the regular
functions of any other bodily organ.
Can such a remedy Ik; found? V.V
reply unhesitatingly, it can in Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral. For more than forty
years this preparation has been in use,
and it is without doubt, the safest
and most efficacious of all cough-cures.
That it is so estimated by the public is
evident from the fact that no other
preparation of tbe kind is in such uni
versal d 'tnand. As a family mn!:
cine, for eases of croup, w hooping con.i'h,
sore throat, bronchitis, anil the sudden
pulmonary troubles to which children
are exposed, Ayer's Cherry i'ectoral is
tsimply invaluable.

SWINK'S TARIFF LECTURE.
The sectional discrimination of the McKinley bill, as it
now stands, is even more marked than was that of the Mills
bid, to which we called attention in 1SSS. The three most
important staples that aie peculiarly Southern are cotton,
sugar and rice. On the staples such as wool and Iron, which are
No'thern as well as Southern, additional "protection is given
by an increase of rates." "We believe there is no decrease in
rate on any important staples, other than rice and sugar.
Cotton is on the free list, of course, as before, but the rate on
cotton ties, made in and used in the South, is increased from
35 to 10fper cent, so that, in fact, each of these great staples
of the South are discriminated against by the bill. They
have agreed that machinery for the manufacture of beet sugar
may be impoited one year free of duty. When asked to
admit machinery for the manufacture of cane into sugar and
into molasses on same terms, they refused to do it. Clipping
from The Voice.
Suppose you are able to elect a majority of the House of
Representative who are in favor of a just tariff bill: It will
take ten years to change the Seriate, and you may never elect
a President.
