Concord, N. C, Dec. 6, -1899.
The Cliicago Chronicle tells
a pretty little story that runs
like this:, John Young Brown,
of Kentucky, had a loving
-tlaus--ar of 18, who was ambi
tir that her ''daddy" should
"be governor of Kentucky. She
proposed that" he ruu for the
office. He told her that people
Lid not think enough of him to
make him governor. She got
Iiis consent to accept the nomi
xia lion and went off to Henry
Tv'aterscn and told her wants.
He wote one of his most spir
ited editorials demanding
To -;g's nomination by theDem
cjrats. The short ;of it was, he
jot there. See what" there is in
liaving a daughter that wants
you to be governor. y
It looks like the Filipinos
liave enough of the game. Two
cities recently escorted the
Americans in with delegation
and brass band.;
The 'Philadelphia Press, which
is owned by Postmaster-General
Smith, has been making it so- hot
for Senator Quay that he has got
Iiot under the collar and recipro
cates by demanding of President
McKipley that he bounce Mr.
SmitVi under peril of incurring
Quay's enmity and the loss of
Pennsylvania's vote in the next
convention. This is probably
Quay's game to silence Smith's

ADAM; THE M AN JVH0 NEVER WAS
- ABOr.
Of all the men the world has seen
Since Time his rounds began,
There's one I pity every day
Earth's first and foremost man;
Just think of the fun he missed
By failing to enjoy
The dear delights of youth time,
For he never was a boy.
He never stubbed his naked toe
Against a root or stone,
He never with a pin-hook fished
For minnows all alone.
He never sought the bumblebee,
Among the daisies coy,
Nor left its business end,
Because he never was a boy.
He never hookey played, nor tied
A bright and shinning pail
Down in the alley all alone,
To a trusting poodle's tail.
And when he home from swim-
. min came,
His pleasure to destroy
No slipper interfered
Because he never was a boy.
He might remember splendid
. times ( ... V ,
In Eden's bowersr:-yet
He never acwd Komeo'
To a sixty-year Juliet,
He never seen a valentine
Intended to annoy
His good but maiden aunt, .
Becausehe never was a boy.
He never cut akite string, not,
Nor hid an Easter egg:
H3 never spoiled his pantaloons
A playin' mumbley-peg. .
He never from the attic stole
A coon hunt to enjoy. Y

pity him, why should I not?
I even drop a tear;
He never knew how much he
missed;
He never will, I fear
And always when those dear old
days
My memories employ,
I pity him, Earth's only man
Who never was a boy.

Poking Funat Neill.
Henry M Neill has been a nui
sance this fall- at persistently
over-estimating the cotton crop,
which had the natural effect to
depress the price early in the
fall. : '.; . '.-;-;;;' ,. : .'v
Price, McCormick & Co., of
New York, have diligently, gath
ered statistics from over the
South showing that the crop is
decidedly smaller than was esti
mated,, and instead of Neill's
12, 000, 000 bales there will be less
than 10,000,000 bales. To help
make Neill look more ridiculous
before the world, as he doubtless
should look, Mrs. -W.-B. Hunt, of
Eatonton, Ga., got off the follow
ing poem on him : -
Upon the crops of cotton Neill's
making for the South,
It matters not the rainfall; it mat
ters not the drought. '

Beneath the Brazos Hivor, went
Texas 6ut of sight, "
And steamboats gay were sailing

"Pshaw, why don't you

cotton best will grow ?
"And if the flood continues, that

The flood will make for Texas an

But when the rest of Dixie with
c drought was burning dry,
The English cotton (planter, he
winked his other eye.
And said; "All the conditions
still point to monster crop,
The drought has so helped cot
ton the price must further
drop."
"For cotton needs no moisture;
it thrives on sun and heat;
Eleven millions are assured now:
twelve millions, yet may
beat."
Oh ! Miv Neill, this cotton (so
queer the South ne'er
knew),
These phantom fleecy millions
no planter picked but you.
Where did you make such crop,
pray? Not here, but o'er
. the seas;
Perchance your cotton's growing
