ber of the family was borne on tbe

per annum is a moderate salary for
a Senate employe, let it go at that

daughter at Charlotte, returned
home some days ago. This lady is
getting old,' and is afflicted with
what is termed by medical science
as paralysis ngitane, having had it
for several years. She presents a
very pitiable appearance to any
seeing her, ber arms being drawn
up closely to her shoulders. She has
no use of any of her limbs, and her
fingers clinch so tightly in her band

vent tbe nails from cutting in the

Don't Do So Boys.
We ate sorry to note what we con
rider tome culpable conduot on the
part of a crowd of bojs near the
grided school Thursday about notu.
It seems that a citizen in the strtet
bad annojances enough with his
borae that, by action at least, o'aiwed
the right to be undutiful. For boy
to crowd around to further anno;
him was very nnkind, but when
partt cf the harness were detached,
rendering accident liable, it became
criminal. Tbe crime become! the
wone, too, from the fact that the
perpetrators were in such a crowd
tbat to fasten the blame on any in
dividual nrght bed fHonlt. We hope
there will not be a repetition of such
impoliteness, even if crime was not
contemplated.
Bebold tbe Result.
The only remaining result of the
organization of the People's party it
the resurrection and restoration to
power of the Republican parly in
poor old North Carolina. This is
the only present result of tbat par
ty's organization in the United
States. At first, when the People's
party was first organized, with the
help of the Democrats it carried
Kansas, which had been a strong
Republican State, and mighty
things were predicted for it. Then
it carried Colorado, and one or two
other "mining camp'' States, and
then the leaders of the PeopleV
party were greatly encouraged and
boasted of tbeir power. Southern
Democrats were made to believe
that the People's party was sweep
ing over the country like a tidal
wave, and thousands were per
suaded to abandon their old party
and unite with this "young giant
of the West." And what is the
result 7 .
Just exactly what the Record and
other Democratic papers predicted
has happened. Tbese Westein
States bave returned to Republican
rule to their first love and North
Carolina has a Republican Govern
or and is today governed by a gang
of as incompetent and unprinci
pled demagogues as ever disgraced
any State 1
Was it for this that honest men
abandoned tbe Democratic party
and joined the Bo-called Peop'e'e
party 7 Chatham Record.
Poisoned 890 Patients.
Gallipolis, O .Dec. 1. Two hun
dred and fifty patients at the epi
leptic hospital were poisoned today.
Dr. Rutter atid his oorps of physi
cians succeeded only after a despe
rate fight in checking the outbreak
without a fatality. As it ia, some
of tbe patients are still in a critical
condition. The presumption
among the hospital physioians is
that the infection tame from some
article of food eaten by the patients
and the bacteriological department
is making a rigid analysis of tbe
food cooked during the past few
days. Some think a deleterious drug
was placed in some of the vitnals
and, that, with the disruption ex
tant at the institution over the
wholesale discharge of employes,
has put the institution in the throes
of great excitement.

A correspondent of the Newbein
Journal ia reliably informed tbat
a man in Pamlico county made
this year 12 bales of cotton on four
acres of land. This reminds ns that
a farmer of this county, not long
since, talking of big crops, said it
was well when such reports are
made to find out the size of the
acres. He aaid some farmers' acres
were very much larger than tbe
standard. The Pamlico acres must
have been unusually large ones.'

"These monuments overlook the

Benevolence for t'annonvllle Pros
terlans. The Benevolent society of the
first Presbyterian church has re
ceived tbe set of 50 pictures issued
by the Art bureau of the Ladies'
Home Journal and which was or
dered for the fair held in Ootober.
The publishers were so completly

them on time. But they are here
now and will be on exhibition next
Tuesday night and also on
Wednesday and the publio ia moet
cordially invited to oome, inspect
and ptlrchase. Tbe piotures are on
heavy paper and niounted on card
board, ready for framing. They are
very pretty, and represent many
different scenes and types, and some
of them are of much historical val
ue. When you are enjoyieg the
piotures, an efficient committee of
ladies will serve you with an ele
gant supper.
The Benevolent Society is en
deavoring to aasist the New Presby
terian church at Cannonville and
tbe proceeds of this entertainment
will be used for this purpose.' All
friends of this work at Cannonville,
so worthy of being well established,

intended The Standard to lay
