HIE PENITENTIARY SELF SUSTAINING.
It has been claimed that the
state penitentiary is essentially
an expense to the state and that
Mr. Leazer was ill-designing
. when he told the fusion legisla
ture that no state appropriation
to the ir itentiary was necessary
ana that he would take it for ten
' fears and give bond for proper
conduct of the affairs.
Now Col. Osborn who is sup
erintendent Day's most active
helper claims that the peniten
tiary will meet expenses this year
and he offers to take and run the
penitentiary for the next ten
years free from expense to the
State and give bond for good
faith in every particular.
Col. Osborn is not the man to
i
make empty boasts. It is a fact
beyond reasonable doubt that
the penitentiary is capable of
being self-sustaining.
WILL IT REPEAT "8' TO 7 V9
The situation in Kentucky
seems much like the presidential
affair in 1876
Both sides claim a majority in
this case of about 4,000 votes.
Fraud is charged by both. One of
the 8 to 7-electoral-commission
in that famous contest said that
probably the friends of the con
testants were more nearly right
in" what they asserted than in
what they denied. This seems
probable in the Kentucky case.
As a last resort for a decision
the legislature will pass open
the case. The legislature will be
Democratic, so if the voting be a
repetition of the 8 to 7 episode
Goebel may land in the guber
natorial chair.
Viewed from this distant
standpoint it would probably be
a miscarriage of right, reversing
the parties gratified.
Our thanks are most gratefully
tendered to Misses Ellen and
Alice Cruse and their brother,
Mr. Anderson, Cruse for a basket
of the finest Irish potatoes we
have seen this season. Twenty
three is the number and 19 J
pounds is the weight, one of the
largest ones weighing one
pound and six ounces. The 23
make nearly one and one-third
pecks. We are glad to see the
success attending their efforts to
produce such- extraordinary
farm products, we are glad to
receive them as substantial con
tributions to a not overflowing
pantry, but the climax of our
gratification is inspired at their
presentation in memory of the
days when the relations , of
teacher and pupils set aglow a
flame that yet burns freely on
the niter of friendship.

Gen. Lea Wouldn't Sell His Name.
Soon after General Lee went
to Lexington, Virginia, he was
offered the Presidency of an in
surance company at a salary of
ton' thousand dollars. He was
at that time receiving only three
thousand dollars as President
of the Washington and Lee Uni
versity, "We do not want you
to discharge any duties, Gen
era," said the agent, "we simply
wish the use of your name; that
will abundantly compensate us."
"Excuse me, sir," was the
prompt and decided rejoiner; "I
cannot consent to receive pay for
services I do not render. " Nearly
every mail brought him similar
proporfc , and just a short
while before his death a large
and wealthy corporation in New
York City offered him fifty
thousand dollars pep annum to
become its president. But he re
fused'all such offers and quietly
pursued his chosen path of duty.
Ladies Home Journal.
Judge Robinson and the Iredell Bar,
Judge Robinson in openiDg
court at Statesville Monday in
structed the solicitor to draw up
a bill against the commissioners
of Iredell for not drawing a jury
for the second week of court and
instructed the grand, jury to in
vestigate the matter as it had
gone forth that the bar charged
him with discourtesy and that
t ley therefore caused the com
missioners to not draw the jury.
This construction was given in
the Charlotte News. Judge Rob
inson said that Mr. B P Long
was the only member of the bar
that had written him disavowing
it..
Mr. L C Caldwell said that the
judge seemed to slap the bar in
the face, though 'he hardly
thought he so meant it. The
judge disavowed such purpose,
and the bar generally disavowed
objections to the judge as the
cause pf their action, but that it
was because the supreme cout
heard cases in this district at
that time. There was an amica
ble adjustment of the matter and
Judge Robinson withdrew pro
ceedings against the commissioners.

is the strongest Natural Lithia
water on the market and has
the endorsement of the most
noted physicians of the country
as to its superio rity. over all
others. Read what the noted
Dr. John Hey Williams, of Ashe
ville, has to; ' say for Harris
Lithia, springs.
Asheville, N. C. April 24, 1803.
An ex tended clinical use of Har
ris Lithia Water prompts, mej to
the statement that I regard it as
one of the best if not the best,
Lithia Water known to the pro
fession. In the condition of
Phosphatic Urine, its action is
marvellous. Its use in the Rheu
matic and County Diseases afford
me more comfort than either the
Buffalo or Londonderry , Waters.
Very truly yours,
JOHN HEY WILLIAMS, M. D,
We guarantee that one glass of
Harris Lithia carbonated water
will relieve any case of indiges
tion in one minute or our agent
is authorized to refund you the
money, or if taken after each
meal -will cure the most stubborn
case of indigestion. Why suf
fer when you havfc the guarantee?
