There is $200,000 of the pension fund' and of course the amount going !to each of the various classes of pensioners will be less than it was last December. .r "-i::;'' Waa Something; , To. of a Here is a story told of Patrick O'Mars, a private in the Ninth Regulars. Not long ago he went to the colonelr who was a severe disciplinarin, for two weeks' leave of absence.. . "Well." said the Colonel, "what do you want two weeks furlough for?" Patrick answered: "My wife is very sick and the children are not well, and if ye don't mind she would like to have me home for a few weeks to give her bit of assistance.' The Colonel eyed him for a few mux utes, and said; "Patrick, 1 might grant vour request, but I a got letter from your wife this morning saying that she didn't want you home; that you were nuisance and raised the devil whenever von were there. She hones I won't let you have any more furloughs." ' "That settles it. 1 suppose 1 can get the furlough, then," said Pat "No I'm afraid not, Patrick. It wonldn' be well for me to do so, under the circumtancess." . It was Patrick's turn now to eye the Colonel, as he started for the door, Stopping suddenly, he said: "Colonel, can : I say something vez?" "Certainly, Patrick; wnati is nr "You won't get mad, Colonel.if I say it?" "Certainly not, Patrick; what is itr "I want to say there are two splendid liars in this room, for I never was married in my kife." . that my family loved me, but I did not realize how much until this lingering attack required nursing Snd night watching and they had to sit up with me and comfort me as I sat in a chair and struggled for breath. Breath, more breath, was what I wanted and I could not get it lying down. I thought of the last verse that David ever wr4e. "Let everything that hath breath praise . W . : . T - - ' me luora." All during my long illness I have had three trained nurses my wife and two daughters, and two married daughters and a granddaoghter besides on the relief corps, and they have been - so watchful, so willing and so good,; The oldest of the nurses has been in train ing for fifty years and has spent all her married life in nursing land training others and knows ust what to do and when to do it. What would a large family do without a good old mother T But at last the girls had to force her to go up stairs where she could sleep with out neanng my cough that waa wear ing out the bronchial tubes and the larynx and the epiglottis and the Scylla and Charybdis and other i mysterious organs. And I had good doctors, too. who diagnosed me twice a day and sounded my heart with their telephone tubes and thumped my chest and beat my stomach and looked at my tongue and ran the handle of a tpoon down my throat and gagged me and prized open my eyelids and timed my pulse and then wrote a long list of prescrip tions that broke a drug store snd mads up a menu of what I should eat. and what I should dnnk, and then confided me to the trained nurses to carry, out the programme, I was as bumble as a wet dog; for the truth is 1 was alarmed and so was my wife and children. I didn't see how they could get along without me, but I am better now, and for three nights have slept in my bed and recovered my breath and only lack strength, and am gaining that. It is worth j being sick to have such nursing and find so many friends who sympathize and wish me to get well. It pleases me to have them call and cheer me with their 'presence, but my doctors say, "Don't you talk much. Let them do the talking. You have no breath to spare." And every mail brings such good, kind, loving etters from aU over the Sunny South and some from Ohio and Illinois and owa. They humble me and cause me to wonder what I have done to my peo ple all these years that brings me such benedictions.

Review of Reviews. hi The new . mandate that has gone forth is to the effect that ; neighboring district must consolidate ! in order to build a good central school building, with several rooms and sevesal teachers, and a consequent opportunity for grad ing tha scholars. It is further decreed that the children must be brought to this central school on a co-operative plan, in suitable conveyances for pro tection from cold and wet and fatigue. Further, it is in tbe air that .. tne new consolidated country school must adapt its methods of instruction to the real condition of life. : It most be a social and intellectual center for grown-up people as well aa for the children of the region. It must have an ample piece Of ground, and this must be kept in the most perfect order, as one of the Temple thought it became the church to pray for rain,' and so one Sunday morning be gave notice that at the mass he would say a prayer for rain, and asked the people to respond in their silent devotions. Bitting well up in the congregation was a worthy farm er and his aged wife. When the an nouncement was made she nudged her husband, and in a whisper loud enough to be beard by those around, but not by the priest, asked: "Ilbp, do iVst 0.11. a OTV WWII. .V, UV, 1 mitj 4UU, he replied; I've got 5,000 pounds uades down and we, 00a t want nun until they are fit to haul in." Tbe old Lady refused to respond, and the rain did not come, despite Father Temple's intercession, until the farmer s blade fodder "was out of the wsy! Some years ago a local preacher of some celebrity preached in Broad Creek Neck. Ue essayed to quote some Scripture, but got tbe text wrong, and aid: "If your right arm offend you pluck it out, and if your right eye offend you cut it off." Beny Larri- more, the wit of the neighborhood. exclaimed: "Darn it, the man must think we've got crab eyes down here !" Bev. Henry K. Calloway, now dead, used to tell a story of a Methodirt preacher in Chapel district, himself somewhat of a wag, who had an infant to baptize in the church. "Jtame this child," said the preacher, and the father replied: "John James Augustus Andrew Manship."; "What?" "John James Augustus Andrew Manship." The preacher wrote the name do n. word by word, and going to the bap tismal font, a ten basin, he looked in it and, calling the sexton, said: "Bill Scott, go get some I more water; there ain't morn half enough here to bap tize this baby in." Bev. Dr. James F. Chaplain's story of his baptismal experience on the Eastern Shore of Virginia is a good one. One Sunday Dr. Chaplain, then presiding elder, preached in a little country school house. lie was asked to go in the afternoon to tbe house of a farmer where mere were about a dozen unbaptued children and christen them. . He went. It was a little house surrounded by a big corn field. He saw no children, nobody but the farmer and his wife. "Where are the chu dren to be baptized ?" Dr. Chaplain asked. The father said they were scat tered about somewhere, and sent a man servant out to look them up. After a long while the man returned, dragging with him by the hand one utilo -weeping -kin. "Whw r ttu others?" demanded the father. "Please, sah," was the answer, "die is de oniieet one I could ketch!" ' In the days when the brethren had more respect for a rumseller than for a college-taught preacher the Philadel phia Conference sent into one of the rural districts of Talbot county as the junior preacher a finely educated and eloquent young man. He preached his first sermon in one of the nec churches and was entertained that look back, to Inisrht at the house of a gentleman of His 'helpless- means and culture. After supper the conversation turned to the sermon. The host praised the sermon, but told the preacher he feared it was above the heads of his audience, that he used words the people did not know.- "For instance," he said, "several times you made use of the word felicity. Had you said happiness you would nave been understood. There were not a dozen in your congregation who ever heared the word felicity before." The preacher expressed his surprise and doUbt. The host called in one of his hired men whom he had observed at the service. "John, do you know what felicity means?" he asked "Sar tinly I does, sir." "Well, what is it?" John; scratched his head. "Well, I can't desplain it perzactly, but it's something inside of a hawg!" " Tbe Record! of Sr. Black barn an Mr. McCrary. Salisbury Sun. Hon. E. Spencer Blackburn, Repub lican nominee for congress against Hon. Theo. F. Kluttz, the Democratic nominee, and J. Ray McCrary, Esq., the Republican, candidate for solicitor, who aspires to succeed W. C. Ham mer, Esq., the unanimous choice of the Democrats of this district, are both clever gentlemen. 1 Personally we enter tain for both Messrs. Blackburn snd McCiary a cordial liking. But an aspirant for the popular suffrage, is bound by his public record and it is to": the record of these gentlemen that we call the attention of the voters of Rowan county. Both Mr. Blackburn and Mr. McCrary were members of the lower house of the general assembly of 1897. -During that session something of importance transpired. The fusion ists controlled the body. Mr. Black burn and Mr. McCrary, as Republicans, participated in the f usionist caucus.

Tbe voters of North Carolina have pensioned them bananas they revered them, and at a aacrifios to themeehres. The voters of North Carolina hold very low in the soak tbe deserts from the cause of the southland. Yet Senator Pritchard wants aad asks for the support of the voters of North Carolina i The cheek of it 1 (Ezeass the slang; it is so exprsasire at times). It is like unto that of a brass monkey. What a gall tbe man has I What a cheerful nerve ! The man who voted against tho first bill to pension disabled Confederate sol diers actually fathers the hill to pension tbe deserters. Consistency, where is thy blush? Comment is unnecessary. It would be a relief to ouss. ' The man who wants to spend $140, 000,000 pensioning union soldiers and deserters refusing to give one cent to the decrepid heroes who straggled through hunger, cold, want, disease and wounds out of pure devotion to cause and country. And not only did he not want to give s helping hand to the old comrades tottering to the grave, and not only does he want to pension deserters,' but he turns round, too, and calls the demo crats extravagant. That record of Pritchard'e is no mat ter or hearsay. It is down in black and white, and this reporter has seen it and reproduces it as follows: The House Journal for the seven teenth day of the session of 1&85, Fri day, January 23, records that upon the question of the adoption of the amend ment of Mr. Thompson to stand as sec tion 2 of the bill, Mr. Busbee de manded ayes and noes. In the vote that followed Mr. Pritchard'a name does not appear. The Journal says after the announcement of the vote: "Mr. Lockey has leave of the house to explain his vote; he ssked to be ex cused from voting, and the house re fuses to excuse him. Tbe members of the minority who abstained from tot ing under the call for the ayes and noes are required on a call by the house to vnlo a they avo dlod; anotioa Of Mr. Glenn, the doors of the hair are closed by the door-keeper to prevent withdrawals from the hall to avoid the act of voting." I The News and Observer of Saturday, January 25, 1885, in its 'report of the house proceeding of the previous day, says in reference to this vote: "At the conclusion of the roll-call and before the vote was announced, Mr. Overman called the attention of the House to the fact that there seemed to be some dodging on the part of the republican members, and they were then allowed to vote, which .they did, many of them trying their utmost not to vote." According to the journal,, the bill is taken up again on Friday, January 30th, and passed on its second reading, the vote being 86 to 13. Among the thirteen . noes, occurs the name "Pritchard." On Tuesday, February 3rd, the bill came up on its third reading.: The ayes and noes were called by Mr. Hen derson and the name of Pritchard again appears in the list of noes. It is recorded that he explained his vote. : Senator Pritchard, with the other re publicans, seemed to have tried to dodge the vote, until be saw it waa no use- ' ;:' !'!' , And the door-keeper had to be called upon to close the doors to help the dodgers from escaping. ; : How nice it would be for some politi- ans, if there were no records.

The fact that Senator Pritchard re cently secured the passage in Congress of a bill pensioning deserters ' from the Confederate army giving pensionable status to those who served in the Con federate army and afterward : ia the Union army and the further fact that he when a member of the .

The South had tho bulk of tho cotton of the wtrU. Why should it be sent to Euroj-e or the North to l manufactured into fabrics and brought bark for the use of U10 Southern o pte, when it waa frfarily fMamhle to manufacture it at home? In the Slates of the Confederacy stretching from the Potomac to the Bio tlrande there is one-half of the standing tim ber of the United States. Why should it be sent North to be manufactured Into furniture and brought t ack South ? If all other conditions were equal there would be no good rta n why the nun. ufacturing should not lie done in the South, if nothing were to be saved but the freight. But in tha South the climate ia more favorable for manu facturing, the necessaries of life and all the expenses of living are chrajwr than in the North, and this mskr U bor cheaper. . The Southern iwiSe nntraLvv1 IKma tilMnl,mu ! . . soon as they began to recover from 1 1 the war and reconstruction they ap. plied their energies and their racial to developing the resources of the South, One of the greatest needs of tbe South was skilled labor. The negroro had never learned that kind of work, and free white labor could not eiist with slave labor. Therefore, when the industrial South began, the movement was greatly impeded by the lack of the educated mechanics snd 01 rative who have made the North so proeper out. Judge Douglas, in his It-tier, gives a striking illustration of the monev value of education, including technical education, lie shows .that the South has turned its attention to this subject, and tells what has bern accomplished by the technical schools which have grown up in recent years.

Woo la ton, of the East Baptist Church, Kensington, has just preached a sermon predicting the end of the. Dr. Woolston has, however, placed the arrival of cha os 20 years hence, which is certainly a good margin and gives sinners time to repent. The Doc tor is a large man, with muttonclmp whiskers, and the reverse of a sensation monger in appearance. In his sermon he took for his text a portion of the third verse of tbe sixteenth chapter of Matthew: . "But can ye not discern tbe signs of the times?" In part he said: "Let us note a few of the signs of the times which are signs of tbe coming end: First, the great internal demon strationsearthquakes, tidal waves and the like. They are forerunners of the end. When Mount Pelee sent out ita wave of death it was the beginning of the widespread seismic disturljaocca. Every, country except Australia dur ing the last few years haa had volcanic disturbances and internal disorders. This has been more widespread than ever before. It is the sign of the end. "Then, again, it is written that th Gospel shall be preached to all the earth. This work has been well-nigh completed. There are 800 missionary societies and 62,000 missionaries at work in foreign fields. Within five years every point in China will have been reached. JWithin seven years the remotest corner of Africa will bear the Gospel. In 20 years from: now the Gospel will have peen preached to every creature." Dr. Woolston then launched in to a tirade against the Coal Trusty and said that 13 men fixed the price per ton, and we must pay for it or freeze. Other trusts come tin for a share of his indignation, and be also denounced the Socialists and infidels.- He said that all these things are declared by Scripture to be the beginning of the end. men in Timber c4 tuk kcrp th J fcoraetul aUmUng trmntgh the )T4r.
