He selected a half-tushel of large Irish potatoes, and stipulated that , his opponent must stand fifteen paces distant, and then only one potato at a time should, be taken ftom the measure.

In Cities and Towns and the Country. To the Editor of the Charlotte Obsei ver. "In my visits to various towns and cities in North Carolina I have often noticed the bad sanitary conditions and the apparent absence of any sanitary system whatever. I have also been im pressed by the prevalence in our State of typhoid fever, diphtheria and summer complaints in excess of most any other State in the Union.' - - . In view of the importance of this question of sanitation to each man, wo man and child, and to the material wel fare of the State, I had determined, on the first occasion, to - investigate the question and give out any suggestions that I might find of possible aid in rem edying the unfortunate state of affairs which at present exists. "" , -. -yu" -I have been looking somewhat into the problem during" my stay in the city, and I am largely indebted to Mr. Chas. F. Kennedy, chief inspector of the board of health, or the suggestion I shall now offer. , - If an army should invade North Car olina or a strike occur among the rail road men, resulting in the death of four or five thousand people, the fact would arouse everybody in the State, and the newspapers would be full of : the latest developments, a Every business man, every professional man and every fann er would be ready to give up nis work and go to the front. But strange to say, very little interest is awakened by the killing of as many people by a prevent able disease an enemy that wears no uniform, beats no drum and heralds its approach by no trumpet; an enemy that works-eecretly and msjdioualyj that re fuses to hght in open - held, but creeps into the homes of the people and strikes down men, women and children indis criminately. Tftja enemy can be kept out. To rout it is only a question ol cleanliness. Dr. Maccormac Bays, "we live or die, live our full term or perish prematurely, accordingly as we shall wisely or other wise determine." It is pretty well known that, typhoid fever can be taken by the water ' we drink or through the air we breathe. The poison in either the air or water is the result of filth. Jf putrid matter is allowed to remain on any one's premises, it is liable to contaminate both the wa ter and the air. Dr McVail says that typhoid fever 'is essentially a prevent able disease and where it has not been prevented tne fault has consisted in the known means not having been used." BCGPESTIOK FOR CITIES. ' Well water in cities is universally con demned. Where a city gets - its water supply from a river the shed should be well guarded for eight or ten miles above the take. Where the take is from a pond filled by springs, the shed should be still more carefully protected. Flow ing water will purify itself, but when or impurities wash into the pond the danger is great, "j. All drinking water should be frequently analyzed.? Next to pure water come good drainage and sanitary regulations. In no city should the disposal of garbage or other, matter be left to individual initiative. That is a matter of public concern, . If the : ef fect of neglected premises were to af flict with disease those who are directly responsible for the neglect, it might be well to leave the matter of cleanliness to individuals. , But unhappily . the neglectful citizen may escape, while his neighbor or some innocent and useful man or woman, several miles away, may have to pay the penalty. No garbage or other offensive matter should be allowed to remain in the city limits or to be buried within the city limits. That is the greatest mistake Southern towns make. - To cover - up filth does not remove the evil. It wet weather the putrid matter moves downward ; and flows into wells, and- in dry weather it rises and fills the air, -An eminent authority on - sanitation says of typhoid that the attack is more freqeuntly re ceived through the lungs" than other wise. - We drink only a small quanity of water, but breathe about two thou gallons of air per day. None but au thorized persons should be permitted to haul waste matter through the streets. In many cities revenue is derived from the sale of this refuse for fertilizing larms, but wnere it is impracticable to sell it for that purpose it should be con sumed in a furnace. Under no circum should it be deposited upon the ground or in ditches or gullies near -the city While riding in a carriage in Charlotte very recently, I saw a wagon, evidently from a beef shop, unloading some old pieces of meat, heads of sheep, etc., in- to the excavation just across the Carolina Central railroad at the crossing of the dirt road leading to Phifer's farm. . The stench could be detected a distance of a hundred yards or more. The furnaces for disposing of such waste -would cost $7,000, for a city of 15,000 inhabitants, a mere trine compared to the lives it would save. : A sewerage system can never be too expensive for any city which has an outlet for it. Charlotte is admirably suited for a good system, and the gam in preventing sickness and pre serving Me would more than compen sate for the most extravagant outlay In general, I deplore the piling up of bonded debts by young cities, but I do not hesitate to say that an issue of bonds by Charlotte to complete its sewerage system would be a wise step. : Charlotte is justly the pride of every one of its cit izens. Its progressive business men, its extensive manufacturing interests, its excellent hotels, solid banks, fine streets and Toads, splendid car service." beauti ful park and above all, its wide circle of cultivated, public-spirited and :tbilan thropic men and women, are possessions: that may well stimulate the pride of th& whole State.. And it needs onlv a ner- fected sewerage system and a furnace of garbage, added to its excellent .water supply, to give it the . reputation of be ing the cleanest and healthiest city in the South. ; ; It will be a proud day.' in the industrial progress of Charlotte when people come from other towns and cities to study its superior water supply, drain age and general system of sanitation, as they now come to take lessons in road and street building., - - ' .. " SUGGESTIONS FOR TOWNS. ' ' Of course towns of less than 5,000 population cannot ; well afford water works and sewerage systems. What then must they do ? In the first place, CONCORD, N. O, THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, they must be twice as careful as cities about slops and effete matter., Such matter should not be allowed at any time to be exposed to the air, nor should j it be buried about the premises. - It should be kept in proper receptacles for hauling away, and it should be the business of the authorities to provide for its remov al. It should be composited at a suita ble distance from' the city and sold , for fertilizing, --or a privilege should . be granted some person- to do the same, f As long as the surface ",bf the- land in ( towns is allowed to be covered with all sorts of organie matter, and.'jso long as the people persist in buying it with -the idea of removing the evil, so long will water and air become diluted and the people remain afflicted with fevers, dip theria and correlative diseases. - , . : SUGGESTIONS FOR THE COUNTRY 7 - I I would be seen that the country peo ple should be the healthiest and . freest from sickness, but it is not so in respect to the diseases . named in the article. Statistics show that such diseases are morel prevalent in the rural districts tharr in the towns and more prevalent in the towns than in the cities. The reason is obvious.. . In the absence of sewerage pipes it is very difficult to dis pose of waste master so as to avoid con tamination of the air . pr water. The same degree of cleanliness in the coun try requires a 'good deal more labor and inconvenience than in cities. Still .this labor and incenvenience" must be en dured if the country -people would es cape the fatal consequence of neglect. . i Having untidy barn-yards, pig-pens, or pouring kitchen water out of the win dow, or the exposure to the air of any bad matter is to court disease. ; All ef fete matter about the farm dwelling should be mixed with, an absorbent daily and removed at frequent intervals to', a compost some distance away. ; People sleeping in proximity to a damp place in the soil due to kitchen water and breathing its odera all night need -not be surprised : if the household is never free from ailments. It is hoped that the people will bestir themselves at once for better sanitary arrangements and not wait to be moved by the whip-lash of disease and death. - " Of course I cannot exhaust the sub' ject in one article, neither do I profess to have been very luminous in the ground herein covered. But if I have succeeded in awaking an interest in be half -f better sanitation in our cities and towns, and induced people to study the question for themselves, I shall have ac complished my object. , . -i I trust that the importance of the subject is the only apology needed for having treated a somewhat delicate question in a practical and unambigu ous etyle.

' - -...There are supreme moments in the life of every human being, ; The day of our birth, the day of our death, are no more important days and . involve- no more important events than, the day of our marriage.

A mistake that is only fey; to the next meal, but the fellow who makes mistake in marrying has made one that will last through time and perhaps through ail eternity. . ' . - - - It has been said that Uod gives a man a good wife. That being true, I suppose the devil gives a man the other sort. I believe that it is owing ; to lucky chance more than good management or wise selection that there are not more unhap py marriages, It is said that "love is blind." I have thought that, in. some instances,- it was also deaf and dumb. : A pretty face, a jolly laugh, a bright eye, dazzling jewl ry, or a rich daddy oneOf these has decided many a fellow. : I was talking some time ago with a young preacher who had a model wife. He said he had two brothers who mar ried much money with their wives. - He said he started out to hunt for just .

' A model wife must have character character that above everything else, asserts itself, that controls itself, that impresses and expresses itself - at every turn, showing itself in an intelligent eye, in the kindness of the the heart, in the decision of the will, in the gentleness of the hand, in the grace of the movement, A pretty little wife may. make a very pure wife,, but with a well-rounded char acter a - woman will , not fail in any sphere. . - - intelligence and common sense are Other elements in a model wife. ; The biggest fool in the word, "is the man ' or woman who will marry a fool. There is no remedy for that disease. Hunch backs, deformed limbs, red hair, stringy necks and snaggled teeth and all other deformities of life may: be mitigated, helped or cured, but foolishness no man can cure, and it will manifest itself in all of its incongruous shapes in the children to the third and fourth gcnaration. Refinement is another element in the model wife. : Let a man be coarse if he will, but from a coarse woman, in the language of the Episcopal prayer book, 'uood Lord deliver ns." - - - A fast woman is more despicable than a slow horse, i Speed may be desirable in a horse, but give us a slow gait for a noblewoman. , - - " Of course, above everything else, the heart is to the noble ' wife what the sun is to the heavens or the moon is to - the tide. It is the great warnings Ughtning, potent force, which makes a man s home beauuf ul and lovely, bucn a heart pours its sympathy through Tery ave- nue tif a strong mind like the gush of a river and will make a woman a queen as a wife and a thing of joy and beauty forever. A model wife is also a woman in whom selfishness does not live. She gives her self to husband, to children ; and to home, and looks upon each child com mitted to that home as an angel sent from God, with blessings in both hands and lov in both eves,-and' peace in ; its every prattle. I would as soon shake hands with a dead fish's tail or keep company with the dead, as to marry a woman who de spised children, but who was - foolishly fond of poodle dogs,' parrots and canary birds. I was on a train some time ago and saw a mother sitting nursing a - poodle dog, - while two bright sweet children, two and four years old. perhaps, were sitting on a seat in front of the mother, in charge of a nurse. The mother ion died the dog and the nurse fondled the children. I studied the picture: I couldn't account for. the woman's neg lect of the children and devotion to the doe on any ether hypothesis than that it was on over-weaning love for her hus band s kinfolks, John.

'C.,-July 28, 1894. To the Editor of the Charlotte Observer: i Dear Sir : I notice in vour issue of yesterday that a correspondent refers to me a a 'doubting Thomas," and states that I am uncertain as to -which nomination I will take, the Democratic or the so called fusion." In iustice to myself I wish to say that your corresr pondent has been misinformed. At no time have I been uncertain in mv views as to any matter of public importance. As a Judge I thought propriety required 1 should take no active part in political discussions, nor did I feel called upon to rush into print whenever a newspaper correspondent attributed to me, views I never entertained. Jt is proper, howev er, to say, once for all, that I am .not, and-have not been, at any time a can didate for any nomination other than the Democratic nomination for the of fice I now hold .My Democracy has has not been questioned by those who know, me, There ..is no foundation whatever for any assertion or surmise connecting my name with any party other than the one to which I have given my means and my time from the first ballot I cast, . , - Most respectfully, ) - - ' Walter Clark. .; . H1U and Murphy at Oats. ;- 1 : Senators Murphy and Hill, of New York, "are at outs. .Senator Murphy has been put down by the country as a mere follower of Hill. Such has, how ever, been provennot to be in .the case. Hill voted against the tariff bill; Murr voted for it. . , ' ; - - -But the cause of the row between them UQW is not that. - Murphy is indignant with Mr. "Hill for the Jtwo speeches he has made in defense of the- president for ' that letter to . Mr. Wilson. Mr. Murphy takes no stoek in such political games as that, and he took occasion to tell Mr. Hill so in very plain language. Mr. Hill has been endeavoring to per suade Mr. Murphy to aid him. in de feating the tariff bill.: Mr. Murphy, is not in love with the bill, but he is a strict party man. . He will not - only vote with his party all the way through, but he- is speaking out very ' plainly about the way MrHill is acting re cently." In consequence . he and Mr. Hill are not very cordial just now. - Mr, Irby is the. only Democrat who has been tied to Mr. Hill. He refused to go into the canvass either Tuesday or Wednesday. Indeed, he joined Senator Hill, and the two bolters went out to.seo a baseball game. - r - Good CroDS Everywhere. - , I . . - . " - ...... I Mt.
