If you don't believe your own town or city is a little hot ter in must respects than any of its neighbors, you should move out. Like other places, it has advantages that other have not. and your mod esty should not prevent you from making that fact known whenever the opportunity presents itself. At homo ur abroad, whether pursuinr pleasure or eneed in business, do not neglect to jrive those with whom you come in contact to understand that you live in a live town populat ed by enterprising, go ahead, pro-e-rcs.-i ve people and one that is ad vancing instead of retrograding. If you can truthfully speak in com mendation of tho ability of your pro fessional men. the square dealing methods of your merchants, the ex cellence of your mechanics, the su periurity of your churches, schools and public instit utions and the indus try, eiierey and sobriety of your cit izens ovnoraUy. let nothing prevent you from excicisiiii' that privilege. Yen should learn to believe, if you do not already, that we have nil these and in addition the handsomest wo men, the best located town, the fin est country surrounding it. with the most fertile farms, tilled by the most intelligent class of farmers to be found in the United States. If there are any drawback's, it will not be necessary to mention them. The people and newspapers of oom-potino- towns will relieve you of that task by attciidino-to that part of it themselves. Strangers seek in; a lo cation are always c-ivatly inliuenced in favor of any place whose ciii.ens are enthusiastic in its praise. Xu city or town can expect to attain prominence over its rivals unless its inhabitants appreciate the excellence and virtues of each other and will ! collect ively spread abroad their faith in the present prosperity and the future o-reat liess of their own locali ty. Talk is a cheap commodity, but when riehtly utilized it can be made effective in many directions, and this is one of them. Stnasiieil Mis Ilratl With a (oin. : . imri..tti' Xvws.

Yesterday afternoon Caldwell was seen to jiass through Pineville. and securing a gun. a mgro named Bolt Buckingham set out on his own account to arrest him. He overhaul ed Caldwell on the railroad, a coujile of miles south of Pineville and across the South Carolina line. When lie a! tempted to arrest him. Caldwell snatched the gun from Buckingham i and ciubbed him over the head with it. IJockingham's skull was smashed. Caldwell escaped into South Caroli na.

Uliat a Soinittir Costs the Country While I.iviiiir ami Iwl. Krum our lit-culur Ci.rrii.i.ii(Ifnt. A V a si 1 1 m i to , 1). C, May 14. 1H!H. Yhile tin story of the extravagant oxpeiidit tires of the two branches of Congress lias been told more than once, it is a recital whieh will well warrant repetition. The House of Representatives in this republican country costs very much more than any similar legislative body under any other government in the world. Enormous, however, as its outlay, it is moderate indeed, when compared with the lavish waste of public funds by the Senate. The House, witliSjli members, costs the people of the United States considerably more that :;:." l MM 10 jut annum. Most of the lower houses of the legislative bodies of Kurojie have two and three times as many members as belon'to the lower branch of our national h' leoislature. yet they cost the people for whom they legislate scarcely a fraction of what we jiay for the hon or of beino1 governed. Hut it is the Senate, tho American House of Lords, wh.ich bears the jialm for expenditures in its own behalf: expenditures, the amount of which is enough to take the breath away: expenditures which ;riM your by year in volume: oxjienditures so out rageous and indefensible that it seems "almost incredible fur the men who are jilur.in their hands so deep in the jmblic Jiucket to show themselves with uncovered faces. The British House of Lords compos ed of nearlv seven hundred men. about eiht times as many as are in the Senate of the United States, draw from the British treasury for j its entire expenses not soniuchmon- ev as our Senate throws away in the j unconsidered trifles which may be j denominated as extras. But no Brit- ; ih liobleinaii who has a seat in the House i.f Lords would dare fur one moment to saddle his private expens es on the jmblic. The English jiub lic would not submit to such an im jiosition for a day. The House of j Bepresentativos of the United States. ; with its :;.")('. members, takes l.VOoo; jet annum to jiay its employes. The Semite, with cijrlity-eiht members. ' has taken s41s;.ui!0 for this year for: the same jmrjiose. and. as it con-; stantly increases its tilchin;,'. next ' year it will no doubt take more. It reijuires sKM.uuO to jiay th milea'.'e 1 of members of the House, but the1 Senate cannot u'ot alonir with less ! than sUi.lliiO annually for the same1 jiurpose. In all irobabi!i! v there are not more than half a dozen of it members (if so m iny) who do not ' travel on railroad jiasscs and cooliv'; droj) the money which belongs to the J jteojue into their wallets. The House contents itself with iifty-seven coin-! mittees. one-third t.t least of which ' are of no use. but the Senate cannot yet alo'iLT with less than sixty. The innocent reader will ask. why. ' then, do they want to bother with so! many committees? Simply because' the chairman has then a jri vate room for his use and that of his friends and '. a clerk to attend to his private busi-: ness without any cost to himself.1 T,K t5th's of so,,u' of tll,,fi'' --"iiiit- j a,v 'i'I'I.v amusi:ir. AYhen in-1 '""ity was linally exhausted in de-: viin.- llill'ltS; fl"' committees and its list hud grown to sixty for a body of i eighty-eight men. it might have been supjxised there would come a halt. ; But oh no. The bull was taken by ! the horns, and the Senators for whom no committee names could be found were voted clerks any way. And sn! it is that every member of the Senate: has a clerk of his own. at his individ-; mil beck and call, with no drain ujnin i his private purse therefor. The: elerks. messengers and employes of one kind and another around tin Senate wing of the Cajiitol are as thick ;is Hies around a sugar barrel. Bach Senator does not cost the coun try less than .? 12.0(10 jier annum. In other words, each one gets So. 000 for wages, and it is much higher wages than the majority of them are worth, and in addition some $7,000 more to provide him with clerks and waiters to minister to his comfort generally while he lives and pay his funeral exj icnses when he dies. You must know it takes a great I deal of public money to bury a Sena tor. Fancy what a howl would come I uji from all England if the govern ment was called upon to foot the ( bills for the burial of a deceased ; member of the House of Lords. A Senator who dies must, like an Egyptian king, be embalmed at an exjiense ranging from fifty to a hun- in the ground. Carriages must be provided for those who may wish to ride. If he is to be taken home, BuHnian cars must be had for the funeral party at an expense of one or two thousand or more. It matters not, as the cost is to be loaded upon the broad back of Uncle Sam. Mea's and lunches for the trip, with the ,. , , ; lulu,,l's to was l!u'm dovvii?rim up I to hundreds more. The government is even called upon to pay. the minis ters who say jirayers. Well, prayers for some of them ought to come bigb. It would be sujieriiuous to go through the long list of drugs, cos metics, toilet articles, erfumory, I miiks, and all sorts of knick-knacks purchased with jmblic funds for Sen ators. Has not all this been told he fore.? Many thousands of dollars are spent every year in the summer junkets of Senators, gotten uj) under tho guise of special Committees to make bogus inquiries and investiga tions. I'ullman palace cars and first class watering-place hotel bills figure largelv in this species of legislative pastime. A very few years since it was found there was not sjace in the Cajiitol for Senators who insisted uj iii! having rooms for their own jri vate accommodation. The House was deluded into giving its consent to the jiurehase of the Mult by build ing, a large ajiartment house under the shadow of the capitol. The pro mise was held out to the House that it should share in the additional ae connnodations. But the House nev er got a foothold in the building. By an act of grand larceny unparalleled the Senate took absolute possession, and when the House growled and grumbled, simply said, '"what are you going to do about it?" It has been fitted uj in the most luxurious style. Magnificent clocks of onyx have been put into the rooms; a stall of some twenty emjiloyes. more or less, have been jiut in charge at most remunerative wages, and Senators can stej across the way from their onerous legislative duties to find themselves rest in the midst of Ori ental luxury and elegance. Is it not a nice thing to be a Sena tor of the United Slat Y hat ilo they care if it does cost the country ShOoo every working day for their services? Is it to be wondered that in the midst of such delightful sur roundings they keep on dawdling away at the tariff, and that jiressure from "whatever source, high or low." has no effect ujion them?

The coal and coke strikes have caused a scarcity of fuel, which has com jwlled thee losing down of many iron and other industrial works in Western Pennsylvania and Ohio; and if continued they are like ly to cause a further restriction of manufacturing outjiut. The mer chandise distribution has been com paratively light, because jobbers' preparations for spring trade wants have been largely completed, and lalnT disturbances and the delay in tariff legislation induce caution with regard to purchases in advance of near requirements. The unsatisfactory condition of the loan market in New York and the relatively better demand for funds abroad account for a further large exjiortation of gold, which has oc curred in the fac e of an extraordina rily large merchandise trade balance in favor of the United States. The number of business failures in this country and in Canada during the last week was '21. as against "?s'0 for the corresjK Hiding jwriod last year. According to B. (J. Dun & Co., none was of esjiecial importance, although four bank failures were iucludt-d in the total. Cot ton receipts have fallen off, but neither this fact nor a slightly unfa vorable Government crop report lias had any ajijireciable influenc e as a stimulant to bullish speculation. The favorable effect upon prices which might have been expected from these features has been neutralized by am jle stocks in sight, smaller exjiorts ?nd an unsatisfactory condition of the trade in cotton goods. The total visible sujijily of cotton for the world is 3. '.:;. SIC bales, of which :5.0l.i"l are American, against .ClC.Hll and 3.OO.J.0H respectively lust year. Be ccipts last week at all interior towns lii.:i:!2 bales. Beceijits from planta tions 12.S."!1 bales. Croj) in sight 7. 0'.l4.tU2 bales. Wheal prices have declined 1 j to 2j, cents per bushel, and current rates are the lowest on record. The ', continued weakness i:i prices has been due to large stocks, improving croj) jirosjieets and an indifferent demand for exjioi-t. The visible suji ply of wheat in this country is smal ler than it was a year ago: but with this exception it is larger than it was at the corresponding jieriod in any jirevious year. Corn prices have declined '. and of a cent jier bushel, partly from sympathy with wheat, and partly as un effect of an anticipated increase in the movement from the hands of farmers. Exjorts of corn from At lantic jxirts have continued in fair volume: but the shijnnents have been in part the outcome of previous en gagements, and the new demand from foreign buyers has been com paratively light. Values of provis ions at Chicago are a shade lower. An Important Decision. The State Supreme Court in a let ter to (Jovernor Carr, on Saturday, rendered a decision in reference to the length of term which judges of Supreme .and Superior courts should hold. The communication, which was signed by the Chief Justice and all assix-iate justices, enters into an elaborate discussion of section 2o. article 4. of the Constitution, which contains a clause to be passed ujion and holds that the former custom of judges holding till next election shall be adhered to. It declares that it was the jiluin jiurjxiseof the Legisla ture to construe this part of the Con stitution so as to insure the election of judges and justices of the Supreme and Superior courts for the full term only, at regularly recurring intervals of eight years. That is to say the court holds that when the Governor appoints to fill a vacancy, the election following such an apjiointment is to fill only the un expired term, and does not have the effect of entitling the person elected to the full term of eight years. The justices in this case rest their opin ion upon duty and propriety of ad hering to this settled legislative con struction, acquiesced in till a very recent period. They, however, admit that doubt has been raised in their minds as -to the exact meaning of words employed in the sec tion pass ed ujion, but prefer to concede par ticular language in favor of legisla tive const riu tion. It will be remembered that Attorney-General Osborne has hold a dif ferent opinion. The decision is a very iinjiortant one and will have an imjMirtant bearing on the coming election, when four justices of the Supreme Court will have to be voted for.

A Very Mean Trick. The WilkeslMiro Chronicle tells of a sharp trick a citizen of Wilkes played on his neighbors some days ago. He was digging a well and when he went to his work on the morning in question found the walls had caved in. He hung up his hat and coat and hid near by. Pretty soon a neighbor stepped by to see how he was getting along and find ing the well caved in and the hat and coat hanging by, naturally conclud ed his friend was at the lxdtom of the well. He gave the alarm and everylnxly in the neighborhood came in and went to work to get the man's body out. When the dirt had all lieen taken out, the cheeky well-digger crawled out from his place of concealment and coolly thanked them. Thinurlit the Dog had Swallowed It.

When the loss was discovered and a. search institut ed the paper only was found. It had been torn and chewed by a dog in the yard, and as no trace of the mon ey was found the opinion was at once formed that the dog had swallowed it. The dog was tied up until this morning when he was taken out and killed and his stomach cut open and examined. No money was found in in the dog and a more thorough search of the premises was made. It was finally found under the house, in the mh! in which the dog slej.t. A Comic i (lover Escape. li.ilciuli X..rth Carolinian.

Tao Physicians I(ae an PxM rii iu-e. Two well known physicians of this community had a little thrilling ex perience some days since with a cer tain old lady who has been jiartly de prived of her mind by sickness. When they entered her house it seemed that she regarded them as great enemies and making at one of them she trijijied him and threw him to the floor with a thud that made the very building quiver to its found ation. She then turned on his com panion and in the t winkling of an eye had him divested of his shirt and other garments. He hurriid to the nearest town and in a short while he looked like a "brand new" man. You can well imagine that those two "lull carriers" now give Ihis old lady a wide berth.

As the Durham Sun says, there are some "people in almost every commu nity who are habitual tattlers. They are always wide awake for gossip and frightfully distorted, they regale it at every opportunity and on cery occasion where it may produce a coldness among neighlors. When one one of these trouble breeders unloads his venomous tong ue to you. pay his stories no atten tion until you have carefully inquir ed in regard to the matter of some one you know to be truthful. You cannot afford to discard an old friend ujion the word of a tattler. Dosj.ise a tattler and misc hief-maker as you would a rattlesnake.
