Flowers will blossom in the spring And silvery wood notes loudly ring, As feathered warblers sweetly sing, When you are gone. Friends will grieve above your bier A nd on your grave will drop a tear.

The management of the Long Island railroad has forbidden its employees to address any fomalo as "lady" and requires "madam" instead. There is nothing anyhow in the origin of the term lady to endear it great ly. Madam doubtless has a bet ter claim in the spheres of politeness but the good o'd enrapturing name "woman," the best translation of the term used by the Saviour to his mother fit that Cana wedding, can never fall into disuse or be second to any term by which she is designated. lied is a well-known signal of danger ou a railroad and on the point of a man's nose and is evon said to be on a woman's Jiuir, DKFAFIS ASD CAIM'EB SOT I'ARAIXEt. Many of the justice-loving people of our land opened their eyes and were ready to place their fingers on the lips that had indignant'y reproached the French nation on "account of Dreyfus, when some one sounded the note that we hid a parallel case in that of Capt. Carter. Attorney GenjrM Briggs has been moved to give his views of the case after approving the findings of the court-martial. There seems no room to doubt that Capt. Carter is guilty and that his sentence was just. We are glad that the president gave Carter every opportunity to show his innocence which he failed to do. Let the 'ten-diet Gf the court have its full force. There is hardly room to fear that our nation baa a Dreyfus stain on it.

With the magnificent salary pf $13,000 per year and a. fair pros pect of $100,000 or mors for sinking that Spanish fleet, to practically tell the world that he will take all that comes and look for more, is repugnant to Southern tastes. Has that hero not been right neatly honored and sufficiently paid in dollars and cents so that he may be comfortably shelved while the country proceeds to the due consideration of others equally deserving? ; We have honored Dewey, we still honor him but it ,i so unlike Souther chivalry that i is as wen to refrain from, both condemnation and ' fuFsorne prniw. '- : ' THE OKH.1.NAL IllFKORY. The Durham Sun in giving the organization of Trinity College Historical Society on last Satur day evening says: "A large number of relics were presented to the museum, one of the most interesting of which is a walking stick, loaned to the society by Mr. S F Pitt, of Euttleboro, N. C. This stick was cut from a hickory shrub, and the distinguished General gave it to Capt. W L Shaffer, one of .his command, i Capt. Shaffer had a silver head put on it, and on this he had his own name engraved. There were thirteen knobs on the stick, and on each of these he- carved one of the letters of tKe donor. The stick , at length ame into"1 the possession of Mr. is F Fitt, who was the father of the donor. This is a very valuable relic, and its owner has refused some tempting offers for it. it was placed In the care of the Trinity museum through the solicitations of Rey,' E E Rose, of the North Carolina Conference."

II Mebane in a let ter to county superintendents r.".d teachers urging that due im portance be given to the teaching against alcoholic drinks and nar cotics says with decided force. If we are to become a sober, temperate people, we must look to the rising generations. A large por cent of the men and the women what a pity we must name women who are slaves to narcotics and alcoholic drinks will never be reclaimed from the miserable bauds which are crush ing their lives, their hopes and happiness and hurrying them on to fill untimely graves. Then how important it is that the aw ful consequences of these narco tics and drinks be impressed up on the minds and hearts of the children. What strong drink is doing for the men from twenty to fifty years of age, the same, to a won derful extent, the cigarette and tobacco are- doing for the boys irom twelve to twenty years of age The time has come for teachers to cry aloud and spare not. I care not if our school fund is- increased some from liquor liconso,' the more's the pity-. I care not if tobacco ' men give their thousands to colleges arid'educationaf institutions, this ought not and ' will not shut the mouth ' of any true teacher against these evils. Yea, what shall it profit us if our public school funds are increased and our colleges are handsomely en dowed, if our boys and girls are to be ruined! .- Let our teachers and County Superintendents too, be living examples of total abstinence from the use of all nacotics and alco holic drinks. I like to soe a preacher practice what he preaches, and I also like to see a teacher live the life he sets up as a model for his pupils as nearly as possible. The very idea of a Superintendent of School or a teacher taking a drink on the sly or puffing a lilty pipe, or smok ing a cigarette! Away with such conduct on the part of teachers. WE LIKE KEELY'S WORK. Ours is a weakness, if weak ness it be as claimed by some, to be an enthusiast for the Keeley cure for drunkeness. Wo are not surprised at Col. Osborne's great interest in his work at the institution in Greensboro when we note thd good effects wrought and the deep gratitude of wive that once had a cloud constantly hanging ovor them but now send letters of joy to him over the rescue of their husbands. Four hundred thousand is the record of cures since the treat ment has been practiced. It does not argue against the institution that many will not stay cured, for we think it a certainty that all are cured of thenervous disease that makes the desire for liquor- irresistible. It is theirs to choose whether fiey will again expose them selves to the serpent's coils. The charm is broken for them. It is needless to say that the evil will readily come again if invited and. played . with but why, oh why, . will those who know its dreadful power not shun it with watchful care? We wish- those who can use liquors to advantage as a medi cine would use it only as such, that those who can't use it with out abuse to themselves would not touch it and that those who have become slaves to it would take the Keeley treatment and free themselves from the terri ble incubus. , There are phone ashamed to go or let it be known that they have gone to the Keelyr bub commend us to the man that will Cake the cure boldly rather than continue a shameful practice that he can't conceal.'

A bronse bust of Edgar Allen Poe uus unveiled last Saturday at the University of Virginia. Dr. Paul Barriuger, an honorod son of Cabarrus, as president of the faculty, "received t.ie bust from the Poo Memorial Associa tion to be hold in trust by the institution. We note that Dr. Barringer defends the memory of the poot from the charge that he had been expelled from that school. The biographer, however, leaves room to suspect that he probably but norrowly escaped expulsion. He possessed a genius of which the Amercan people are proud, but his vices were hard to condone. Edgar was left an orphan at an early age. He was adopted by a wealthy merchant in the city of Baltimore, by the name of Allen. He went to school in London four years, when he re turned to Amorica and entered the school that now honors him in bust. He displayed extraordinary talents, but became too fond of fast living, and quarreled with his benefactor till a breach oc- j curred and he again went to Eu rope, where he served in the Greek army a while and became very erratic in his life. He returned to America and became reconciled with Mr. Al len and got Into West Point. He did not act well and he and Mr. Allen had a permanent aliena tion. In 1835 he won a prize offered by the Baltimore Sunday Visitor for a romance and poem. From this on he became editor and contributor to several liter ary journals and maggazines. It was in 1646 that he wrote "The Raven," and gave himself a world-wide reputation. Strange to say, he received the pitiable sum of ten dollars for that unique production. In 148 he lost his wife to whom he had been married two years. The next year, 1849, he was on his way to New York to arrange for a second marriage, but got on a spree and died in Baltimore, his native city, at the age of 40 years. It was a case of gonius beclouded with weak ness. The Philadelphia Times of the 9lh contains a statement from London sotting forth the English side of the controversy with the Boers of Transvaal? The article is very distorting of truth or the British government has a good enough course for the conten tion. From the British stand point, there could bo little pity for the Boers if subdued, and complete sovereignty by the British would mean much more humanity and progressiveness in that murky portion of the world's civilization. Cuban merchants importing American made shoes find a drawback in fitting the Cuban woman. It seems she has a short foot, high instep and large calf which the American last maker will have to take into con sideration. With a slight elon gation, however, which she may take on with American culture the Cuban woman will not be a whit behind her American sister in pedal charms.

Mr. Robert Furman, tho chair man of the committee, roquests all editors and managers of Democratic newspapers in the State to meet on Tuesday, the 17, in Raleigh for the purpose of completing the organization of the Democratic press of the State. This movement was started at the State Press As sociation meeting at Carolina Beach last June. It has for its purpose the more complete co operation . of the Democratic newspapers in the State, It has no relat ion to the Press Associa tion .though its meetings will most probably bo hold during the periods of the press meetings. Where's Your Dead Mpoti Most people have doubted their eyes when at some conjuying performance they have seen a man run needles and pins through both cheeks, evincing no pain as ho does so. In reality every person has hundreds of senseless specks of skin all over his body through which he could ; run pins, or even cut them out, j without feeling any pain. If i .! ,!,., I suiuv una dim nolo vu uu oj wuou he was . blind-folded, he would not be even aware of the fact. Physicians call them dead spots, and the reason that one man can sew his cheeks up while another could not is simply because ' the former happens to have many hundreds of these spots in one place. These dead . spots are caused by the minute nerves which con vey every sensation to the brain being either absont in these par ticular places or dead and senso less. But should any one of our readers allow himself to be blindfolded, and then get one of his friends to prod him very gently with a clean needle, say all on one arm, out of every hundred pricks he will feel only about 60 or 70 at the most. In the other cases the needle will have touched dead spots. Cincinnati Enquirer. Dangerous Counterfeit. Washington, Oct. 9. A new counterfeit $10 silver certificate has been discovered by the secret service division of the treasury. It is of the series of 1891; check letter B; plate num ber indistinct; probably 74; J Fount Tillman, register: Mor gan, treasurer; portrait, Hen dricks. It is a dangerous photo mechanical production, printed on soft paper probably made up from twq sheets of Japanese tissue. Green and red ink lines are used to imitate the silk fibre of the genuine. The face of the note has a grayish tingo, owing, no doubt, to the use of a poor quality of black ink. The color of the seal is a triile too dark. The back of the note is more deceptive than tho front. The imprint of the bureau of engrav ing and printing on the left end of the back is illegible. Bryan Mar Have to Best. TheHon. Wm. J. Bryan has been a marvel of a public speaker, making unlimited num bers of speeches to Immense audiences and always making himself heard far and wide with something which pleased and electrified 'his audiences. But there is a limit to human endur ance. It was announced Mon day that he was suffering from affection of the throat and lungs for which his physician pre scribed a long term of rest and quiet. A later telegram, now ever, lends- hope that his en gLgements may not have to be cancelled. Good Showing for Oar Asylum. The Raleigh correspondent to the Charlotte Observer says Dr Kirby .has just returned from New York where he had been visiting insane asylums. It is as surprising as gratifying to learn that while the northern asylums cure about 25 per cent of the inmates and thmk it a fair success the doctor was able to report his cures to be from 65 to 70 per cent. This he ascribes to general treatment. Tho doctor expects further success by introducing some light work or entertaining employment. William L. Wilson Not VangeronslT 111.

The abolition of the censorship wae at the request of Gen. Otis. So now when nows comes it can be depended upon that it is not dictated by Otis. Marion Butler, Senator from North Carolina to the discredit of the State, has at last an nounced his position on the con stitutional amendment, and he is "agin" it. Sobeit.

We published sometime ago a pathetic story of a whole boat load of horses that were lost at crossing the sea. Its counter part is in the following sad Ma nila dispatch of the 6th. The United States transport Sciam, which left San Francisco on August 18th, with upwards of 320 valuable mules, the com ing of which had been anxiously awaited, as mules are in great demand for continuing tho cam paign, arrived this morning and reported that all but 10 of the animals had been lost in two se vere typhoons, under peculiarly distressing conditions. The Sciam, which left Honolulu thirty-one days ago, encountered the typhoons early this week. One lasted forty hours. . Most of the forage, which was on deck was swept overboard, all the boats were smashed and the steamer rolled tremendously in the trough of the sea, although the officers made every effort to bring her about. The mules were hurled from side to side and frightfully man gled and disembowelled. Their legs and necks were broken and the wretched animals fell in such a confused mass that the atten dants were unable to relieve them. In the meantime, the deck load was washed off, the ship lightened and the rolling in creased. When the storm abated the injured animals were killed and their carcasses thrown over board. When the Sciam arrived her propeller was high out of the water and the wrecks of her boats were hanging from the davits. War Seems Inerllalile.
