War is a big thing au awful thing but our people do not seem to be very much concerned, i Thev have morn curiosity than apprehension. The great excitement is at Washington, and even there it is based not upon fvar or blwd or suffering, but upon the struggle be tween the two great political parties which one shall get ahead and what move is the best one to get. ahead and stay there. Whatever McKiuley does or proposes to do the democrats must fight it and vice versa. The success of the; party is bigger thing than war. We have never seen congress so bewild ered. Some are'for intervention, some for recognition, some for annexation and all for revenge. Wall street sees nothing but the mouey that is in it. Some preachers are for peace at any price nud some are howling for war. Of course the army and navy ; want a fight, for that is their professional bus iness and gives a chance for promotion. Tnen there are the, editors and publish ers who must appear to be .at fever heat whether they feel so or not, for it is a harvest time for pews and the people want tne news apd will buy the papers ine iarmers, too, are anectcd and are studying what to plant for profit, and the speculators in grain and meat are bulliug and bearing, according to their faith. But tho great masses of the American people, the toilers and consumers, who have nothing to gain and' nothing to lose by a war, are lookers oa with uncon cern. They have no axe to grind, nor even a hatchet, but still have a, fqeble hope of more work , and better., wages. Down here at the south there is no great' interest exeeptin the cities, for our peo ple jiever get any: contracts or . govern ment jobs, and doii't txpect any gain from a v71r with Spain. " If wo get a cus tom bouse here and there the materia must come from over the liue, notwith standing the marble and the granite are at our doors. . Northern contractors cle'an out our rivers andharhprsand all the profit goes away from home. Our mischievous people tell the ne groes they have got to go and do all the lighting, for it is McKiuley's war and they all voted for-im. The boys read to them paragraphs from the northern papers which say that northern soldiers would die of fever in Cuba in a w$ek and. that only southern 'negroes can stand the climate. Lots of them a.-ound here are fixing to bide out and have done pickad out their canebrake. Clar ence, the. drayman, is a leader, a heel er in elections, ana no says: "L never vote for any war.. I ain't gwine to fight. I am t done uothui to nobody and no body ain't done-oothm' to me. . I ain't mad wid nobody and how can a man fight widout iie'ft mad. Mr. Akf rmaq and Mr. Crawford got roe inU dis scrape and dey mut sit me out. V wonder if dey is gwine to d& war,?' J - Last Sunday I saw a gng ot ry groes standing around a preacher and he was reading the big headlines of The Con stitution to them. ' There is a large pic torial recruiting poster in the postolfice and they stand off and look at it with serious alarm. But they are not' going from these pans, neither are the white people going right now. Old man In gram was a good hgnter m the last war and seamed to like the business and he says he wouldn't mind going if Ihey yill let him" fight under General Lee and wear gray clothes. My friend, Cautain .Dobbs, says he will go along with Dr. Calhoun, and wilL skirmish around awhile and get si.-k auxl get the doctor to srive him a discbarge at the end "of three months and- then hg will come home acid draw a pensifn x)l the rest of his life. Well, if St has to be a war Mrf Mc Kiuley had better turn it over to Gener al Lee to fight it. ' Big things are piling, in on us just now. The state canvass for state; of ficials is cow going on and getting red hot and it takes nearly all our time to keep up with that and the war too. Maybe we,wi9 need another war govern or and if we -do Colonel Candler lias had more experience iu that line than some other folks.. ' Colonel Ren f roe coald- take care of the negro convicts and march them to the front just like old Joe Brown did the 200 convicts in the penitentiary when Sherman came along. Governor Brown went down, there with a wagon ; Dad of gray clothes and made them take off their 8tn pes and he gave them an guns and f had them j to elect their ofheers and then made them a speech and said: "Gentlemen, Fellow Citizens, Soldiers: Tt doesn't fo low that because you are convicts you are not patriots. Nbw is the great opportunity of your lives to redeem yourselves and wipe off (he dis grace from yourselves and your kuulreu fue enemy m at your doors and you murt figbt Him yes! "Fight till the last armed foe expires Fight for your altars and your ttres, God and your native land V- - And Lhey hailed their freedom with a shout and they marched forth like new men", and they did fisjlit. Justso, Colo- ml Rftnfroe could mark the 2,000 ne gro Convicts forth and -under his load they, too, will fight.

Verily, there is something new under the sun. I was ruminating about the classic town of - Greensboro, one of the oldest towns in the state. What a beautiful country surrounds it! What pretty nads and streets. What attractive homes and pretty mansions. What wealth of lovely flowers. I saw wisterias there growing wild bowering upon old dead trees. Many ef these stately ante bellum mansions still have the tail fluted columns and the parapet roofs that were so common in the olden time. I saw the old Cone mansion and the house where William C. : Dawson liyed. I went to college with the Dawson boys, !ut they are dead and left no sign. I heard their father make a speech in vsio. tie was the hrst whig who evep represented .that district in congress He was United States senator in 18471 He was universally popular kind, courteous and gentle, he worked his own way from humble life up to many em inent positions and never lost a friend. Dawson county was named for him, but none was tramed for Toombs or Stephens. They were greater statemen, but they made enemies while Dawson, by his exceeding courtesy and gentle manners, made friends. Young men, if you aspire to political bonors, you had bet ter remember. When Stephen Girard was asked the secret of his success he replied, "Civility." Bill Arp. Kigrlit to Kxolude lutoxicated assengerg. Railway World. A iurtient for $880 awarded to James Freedon, in the supreme court in Oswego county, New York, in his suit against the New York Central and Hud son River Railroad Company, to re cover damages for a personal injury alleged to have been caused by- the wrongful assault committed by defend ant's conductor, while plaintiff as at tempting to enter a passenger poach, has been reversed by the fourth jappel late division. The plaintiff claimed that as he was entering a passenger coach' the conductor asked himl if he had a ticket, and that when he replied that he had money with which to pay his fare, the conductor ordered hjim off the train and put bis hand agaiust his breast, to that he fell and euitained serious injuries, lne plaintiii laumit- ted that he had been drinking whisky and was drunk. The court held, by Justice Follett, that a railroad company Jiap a right to refuse tQ allow a person who is not in possession of a ticket, and who is so far intoxicated as to be help less and almost unconscious, to enter its passenger cars. Edison Won't Talk Into a Phonograph. . ."Mr. Edison has persistently refused to register his voice upon a phonograph cylinder for repetition," according to an anecdotal biography of Inventor Edison,' in the April Ladies Home Journal, "fo some friends who urged him to talk into one of these machines he gave bis reason: 'It would make me sick with disgust to see placarded on phonographs everywhere I turn: "Drop a nickel in the slot and hear Edison talk." No, no; none of that for . me.' The tone of voice in which he stated his objection made it clearly apparent that he could neither be coaxed nor dragged into granting the request, even though he has had an offer of $10,000 for a five-minutes' talk. In perfecting the phonograph be has, of course, been obliged to talk into-the machine fre quently, but the cylinder is always scraped so that his voice cannot be re produced. To one close mend, how ever, hq reluctantly gave a cylinder re cording a few of his words, and to a young man who particularly interested him he gave another on which is re corded his favorite story, lheso are the only two in existence.". 'Dat Wire Haana." Charlotte Observer. . . Friday night a group of negroes eager to hear the war news, surrouuded the Observer bulletin, and one in the nartv lined it out, as it were. After the import of the telegrams had been taken in, the crowd moved to one side and began discussing McKinley and the de- lav of the message. Mr. H. C. Eccles stepped up to the board about that time, and his ear became at once even more interested than his eve. This is the discussion he heard: "What you-think o' Mr. McKinley?" said one.

CM THURSDAY, APRIL 21, , The first and most infallible method toward the attaining of this end is thrift. All men are not equally qualified-for get ting money, but it is in iUe power of everyone alike to practice I this virtue, and we believe there are very few per sons who, if they please io reflect on their past lives, will not find that, had they saved all those little (sums which they have spent unnecessarily, they might at present be masters of a com petent fortune. Diligence) justly claims the next place t& thrift; ve find both these excellently well recommended to common use in the three fbllowing Ital ian proverbs: ' Never do that by proxy which you can do yourself. Never defer that till to-morrow which you can do to-day: ( : Never neglect small matters and ex penses. - ' J 1. L ! A third instrument of growing rich is method th business, which, as . well as the two former, ia also attainable by persons o;f the meanest capacities. Tne famous De"Witt, one of the great est statesmen of the age iu which be lived, being asked by a friend how he was able to dispatch that j multitude of affairs in which he was engaged, replied that his whole art consisted? in doing one thing at once. "If, 'j say 5 he, "J have any necessary dispatches to make, I think of nothing else un,tii those are finished; if any domestic affairs require my attention, J give myself up wholly to them until they are set in order."" In short, we often ee men of dull and phlegmatic tempers accumulating great estates by making a regular and "orderly disposition of their business. 1 From what has been said, we think it may be laid down as a maxim tht every man of good comnion sense may, if he please, in his particular station of life.become comfortably well off ip money matters. Tne reason why we sometimes see" that men of the greatest capacities are not so, is feither because they do not care as much for wealth I as they do for something else; they are hot content to be getting an estate, they may do it in their own way, and at the same time enjoy all the pleasures and gratifications of life. . Efficacious Prescription. A lady who had suffered tortures from corn upon one of her toes called oh a professional chiropodist. He soou fre- lieved her of the hardened little offend er, and besides paying him his fee, she thanked him heartily. "Please tell me, doctci," she said, how I can prevent another one com ing in its place." j 'Well, madam," he replied,, after a moment s reflection, ?I am doctor enough, perhaps, to giyeyou a prescrip tion that will always prevent a corn from coming." f He tore'a leaf out of a note-book, wrote a few words upon t, and handed it to her. . It read: "Looshoo. Apply orce a day.." r ;: "iou: can get it at almost any place, he explained.. "Ther is no charge. You are welcome." After inquiring iu Tain at several drug stores for "looshoo,"' she showed the prescription to & fnend, who studied a moment and said: .- i "Why, that is plain enough; - It means 'loose shoe!'.'

He w 8 a minister, a man of dignity and political power, and of natural phil osophy. But he ran. He ran surpris- ngly well. He ran better than ever he did for office, and he got over the fence first. He clambered over, out of breath and dignity, and found the owner of the bull cpntemplating jthe operation. "-What do vou mean. Bir.

There is no longer, any excuse for a discussion as to the causes that led many good, honest men, to leave the Democratic party a few years ago and al ly themselves with the Populist. Grant ing, for the sake of argument, that they were fully justified in their action, there is no longer any excuse for them to re main outside of the party of their early and splendid manhood, and the party of their fathers. The Democratic party, by the declar ation of the national convention, the Supreme Court of the party, boldly ad vocates every great principle espoused by Jefferson, the peerless Democratic leader. No man who has ever been a Democrat can demand more. Nobody but a fool.expects the Democratic party to go back upon the platform adopted at Chicago, for it ia the embodiment of truly Democratic principles and repre sents everything that is best and purest in our national life, and is the only formidable' opponent to the monopoly ridden, gold standard Republican party, therefore it is the part of wisdom and patriotism for the few to return to the many and both combined will form an invincible army to battle for the rights of the common people. In this campaign State issues will be overshadowing in prominence, because this election will have little bearing up on other than State matters. ,It is ex ceedingly important that the white men of the State Bhould get together, arid the only way that this union of forces can be arranged is under the name of the Democratic party. The Democrats have over four times as many voters as the Populists in this State, and isn't it natural and reason able that the smaller army should join forces with the greater, rather than ex pect the. greater to become a part of the lesser. The talk about two separate organizations fusing or co-operating and keeping intact their party organizations, is impracticable and ab3urd, as things are constituted at present. The Democratic party has drawn the line and opened wide the door of admis si6n into its ranks and begs all men who favor good government and white supremacy to join in the great fight. There will be no blacklisting, no policy of proscription, no questions asked as to how any man voted in the past, if you are -in favor of good government in the Slate and will support the nominees of the party,, you are thirice welcome toj participate in the Democratic primaries and conventions and assist iu shaping the policy of the party. Of course all LPopulists will not come back; some ot them have Republican leanings, but tbd great majority are honest 'and brave men, and as patriots, they will" see their duty and not be slow to perform it. j Oat of the Mouths of Babes, Freddie, aged 4, came downstairs on morning with a very bad cold in hip head, and, running to his mamma, he exclaimed: "Ob, mamma, bofe of my eyes is leakin' an' one of my noses is frozen up!" - j Little 3-year-old Mabel went out for a walk with her father one morning, and as they started to return her father asked: "Shall we walk back, Mabel, or take a street car?"

A Kentucky Testimonial. amusing little incident An occur- jeu in tne uity uourt one morning this week. The lawyer for a pris oner who never was arrested before wished to prove the previous good char acter of his client, and tendered the Judge a letter which, he eaid, would show the Btanding and honorable char acter of the culprit. The Judge took the letter, and as he read it a broad smile stole over his. face. Did I understand you to say," he asked of the lawyer, "that this letter was a certificate of character?" You did, your honor,'' replied the lawyer. 'iWell, remasfced the Judge, "1 don't know but what it is, but I hardly think if is the lelter-.you thought it was read it." He handed it back and the lawyer glanced over it. It was a letter from a fairm of desfillers, stating that they had just shipped so many gallons of whis ky to a member of his family, and they were confident he would find the liquor excellent. lie Wants.

Chicago Inter-Ocean.,- The civil war cost 363,000 lives. - Of this number 98,089 were slain in battle. The vast army which succumbed to disease was no less than -184, 331,' while Ihe remaining 20,000 or so died of wounds received. j At the battle of Waterloo 51,000 men were killed or disabled.' There were 145.000 soldiers in that great struggle, and it is estimated that one man was either killed or disabled for every 400 shots fired, counting both the artillery and rifle shots. In the Crimean war 95,615 lives were sacrificed, and at Borodino, when the French and Russians fought. 78.000 men were left dead on the battlefield. There were 250,000 troops in combat in mat engagement. 1 Of the 95,615 men who perished in the Crimean 80,000 were Turks and Russians. In 1881,4 great uproar was caused because Englishmen took up all me skeletons they coukli fand, brought lhama t.V ll nrtlnn ,1 n 1 1 bones into fertilizers.

Since the birth of Christ 4.000.000.- 000 men have been slain! in battle. Be fore the beginning of the Christian era the losses cannot be estimated, owing to the very indistinct and I inaccurate ac counts that have been handed "down. It is generally conceded," however, that the numbers said to have participated in the battles of the Greeks and other warring nations of the-, ancient world have been greatly exaggerated . At Canea, where the Rorrrttns suffered the worst defeat in their history, it is said that 52,000 of their soldiers were slain. The Roman army in this battle consisted of 146,000 men the picked brawn and smew of the empire. in tbe franco Prussian war 77.000 Frenchmen were killed. The Germans fired 30,000,000 rifle sbots to attain tjiis result. During the same war Germans fired 363,000 artillery charges. But When It Touched her Interests Patriot- Ism Took a Turn. Cleveland Leader. "Of course we want war," exclaimed Mrs. Danbury. "The idea of letting such an outrage go unpunished! I don't care whether the Spandiards did it or not. They deserve to be whipped any way. If they hadn't oppressed those poor Cubans, our boat wouldn't have been ordered to go down .there, and the terrible thing 'would probably not have appened.

I m glad you take such a noble view of it, for now I shall .not have to hesitate any longer. There is something I have wanted to tell youfor two days, but I have hesitated for fear it might distress you. I am going to join a military company so as to be ready to go to the front at hrst call to serve -my country, I am so glad you . . ' "John!" .exclaimed Mrs. Danbury, 'are you crazy? Do you mean to say that you would go away to war and leave me here alone? You will join no military company! You will stay right here, no jmatter what happens! This country has never done anything for you! Let others do its fighting if it gets into trouble. Here, take a cup of tea, It'll be good for your head!" oil Shakespeare make a pian a storm- smitten ship exclaim, "Now would I give a thousand furlongs of sca for an acre of barren ground!

When a business man gets to the point where he cannot sleep at night, where he is so shattered of nerve that it is torture to even remain in his bed, and( he has to (ret tip and pace the floor it is time for that man to bring himself up with a round turn. If he does not, it means nervous prostration and mental, if not physical, death. For a man who gets into this condition there is a remedy that will brace him up, put him on his feet and make a man of him again. It is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It goes to the bottomof things. It searches out the first ause. When a man is in this condition you can put your finger on one of two spots and hit that first cause the stomach or the liver or both. This great medicine acts directly on these spots. It promptly transforms a weak stom ach into a healthy one. - It facilitates the flow of digestive juices and makes diges tion and assimilation perfect. It gives a ates the hver. It fills the blood with the life-giving elements of the food, and makes it pure, 'rich, red andi plentiful. The blood is the life current, and when it is filled with the elements that build new and healthy tissues, it does not take long to make a man well and strong. It bnilds firm, muscular flesh tissues and strong and steady nerve fibers. It puts new life, vigor and vitality into every atom and organ of the body. It cures nervous- exhaustion ami prostration. Nothing "just as good" cm be found at medicine stores. . 1 " I had suffered about eleven years with a paiu In the back of my head and back." writes Mr. Robert Hubbard, of Varner, Lincoln Co., Ark. "I suffered fur eleven years and spent a (treat deal of money for doctors and medicine, bat 'iii not get relief. Then I tried four bottles of t!:e 'Golden Medial Discovery' and improved .qrc.it ty. I sent for five more and now am glad to t-H everyone that I am in good health.'.' 1 BOOK AND JOB PRINTING. OF Alii KINDS Executed in the Best Style AT lilTXN'a PEIOES.
