They must con.o. The pressure for them is go ing to become irresitablo. Lincoln ton is not ck-ut. Her condition is dimply cosmatose, from which, by lhc proper treatment on the part of intelligent men of means and public npiiil, fdjc can bo awakened and uiado strong, vigorous, thriving and progressive. .Necessity demands a revolution jn our town.

Put aside self and think, and use your mind, muscle and means for tho good of your country, as woll as for your own worldly advantage. ADVANTAGE OF ADYEU T1SING. Wc hope that our readers, espec ially the citizens ox Lincolnton, will give the following a careful perusal : A great many people, and some of them our most intelligent and busi ness citizens, do not seem to know tr comprehend the great advantages to bo derived from advertising their numerous wants and interests. But we think tho last issue of tho 'Alan vfacturers, Record of Baltimore fur nishes us some very striking facts connected with this subject which it will be profitable for our people to consider, both as regards their State and individual interests, '.Hip South, says that journal, with all its rapid growth, has not learned yet the importance of constantly making known its advantages and attra -tions. Man- loading business men thin when they spent twenty- live dollars towards advertising their town, that they have reached thpir full limit in fact, they almost ro gard even this as extravagance. The freedom with which money is spent to advertise the West and Cal. it'ornia id a-toi.jshing, but it pays. Every dollar is returned many fold. The man who conlirtutcs twenty five dollars dowards advertising his town, whether it ho to aid in pub lishing and distributing a well pre pared and well-printed pamphlet, or to aid the local paper in getting up a fine special issue to send out to en. quirers, may not, possibly, receive fifty dollars in return the next day or the next week, but in due time it will come. Advertising must be done judiciously and persistently, if profitable results are to be secured, and if it is desired to attract atten tion to tho climatic, manufacturing or mercantile advantages of a town, money must bo freely spent, A few years ago, Florida was enjoying a tremendous boom veal cstato was in great demand, thousands and tens pf thousands of settlers and visitors wore pouring Into the State, and everybody was prosperous. Who,, caused al this ? Advertising. The railroads, the land companies ond liuisiness men generally spent money with great frccdum in adver. Using. The country way fairly de luged with Florida literature pamphlets, circulars and special issues of newspapers were) scattered through the North and West, and also through Furopo, with a lavish hand. Everybody had tho Florida fever- It is not so now. What caused the chenge? Fail ure to advertise. About the time that the wave of prosperity reached its highest. point, the leaders in Florida's developmcet concluded that the Slalo bad re ceived such a momentum that it would continue to attract ever in creasing crowds. "There is but one Florida" wus constantly the cry, "and people mw-t come he. e now that the- have learned of our won derful advantages." And so the railroads madcfewei concessions for excursion rales ; they issued fewer pamphlets, and the land companies andjiowns advertised less, and then everything went the wrong way. Fewer people camo to the State either as visitors or settlers, and real estate became dull and depressed in value. While every body in Florida was trying to learn what was the matter, they discovered that tho railroads and land-owners of California had taken advantage of the decrease in advertising Florida, and tho country was suddenly fioo led with the most entrancing pictures ot tho glories of California climate, of the fertility of its soil, and tho rapidly accumula ting wealth of its peopK The re suit everybody knows. Towns have grown up almost as if by magic ; real estate doubled in value, then quadrupled, and still kept on in its upward course. Florida wa lament ing last winter its "missing tourists," while California, whose competion it bad only a yt at before affected to despise, was 1 oiling in wealth, every incoming train crowded, her hotels packed, and everybody making mon ey. Can one comprehend the full meaning of the statement that aK ready sirtj thousan I visitors have been booked by tho railroads for Los Angeles alone this winter, ac cording to the Sau Francisco Ejeam- 00,000 visitors remain in the State on an average of only two weeks (and many of than will Ft ay several months), and counting their average expenses at 5 a day, they will dis tribute in that State over 4,000,000 in cash. How many of them will decide to settle there, and how many will invest in real estate, there are no means of even estimating. This too, it should be remembered, is claimed to be simply tho number ol ready booked to visit one town only. What is tho South doing to make its attractions known ? And the same pertinent question may bo asked every day : Wtiat are our business men doinjr without advertising? No person was ever known to open a hotel without a name or to start a store or shoe-shop without a sign-board over the door. But none of all that can be seen ex cept by the few who now and then happen to pass by the way. But when you advertise it in all the newspapers of the day, everybody sees it, reads it, and digests it, and knows it and increased prosperity is advanced and prevails everywhere " WASHINGTON LETTER. (Correspondence of Courier.) Washington, Sept. 9.1S87. Tho event of the season is the meeting of tho International Medical Congress, which convened on Mon day last with impressive ceremonies and still continues in session. Al baugh's Opera House was tho place of meeting, and the Congress was formally opened by President Cleve land in person, whose appearance on tho stage was tho sign of loud and long continued applause in fact, such a demonstration was acs corded him as haa rarely been wit. nessed in Washington. By tho Pres idcntVside sat Secretary Bayard and Speaker Carlisle, and tho excellent address of tho former was auother pleasing feature of the occasion. It was really unique when soveral for eign physicians arose, and in their native language, eloquently respond ed to these addresses, and to that of tho President of the Congress. Next, a business meeting, followed at night by a ball and banquet at tho Pension Oflice, which, it is esti mated, was attended by at least six thousand persons. Then, on the next night, tho President gave the doctors a grand reception, the pleas ure of which was enhanced by de lightful music from the celebrated Marine Band. Tho Congress meets j daily, and each meeting is edified by r.blo disquisitions on some disease, or in tho learned discussion of ab truso subjects of medical science. Great and lasting benefits to man kind are expected to result from this interchange of experience and knowledge on tho part of tho most skillful an'l talented physicians of the world a hope that I doubt not will bear full fruition to thousands of sufferers throughout the broad bor ders of civilization: This is the ninth meeting of the Medical Con gress the first in the United States and it may now be regarded as established on a permanent basis. The tariff conference is still in progress at Oak View being par ticipated in by President Cleveland, Speaker Carlis'e, Congressmen Mills and Scott ; also by Secretary Fair child, who was summoned by tele graph from his leave of absence in New York, for this special purpose the latter circumstance confirming beyond a doubt the report of the im portant consultation in question. It is said that the tariff bill to be framed by the Administration will be pre sented to all Democratic Congress men as a party measure, and that its support by them next session will bo required as a test of partisan fidelity. Mr. Randall is also in the city, but he disclaims any intention to discuss politics or the tariff on this visit; though he says ho will proba bly call on the President while here, It is believed that the tariff scheme in process of incubation will bo of such a conservative character that it wil secure the adhesion of protection Democrats. The surprising resignation of Hon. Jas. D. Porter, of Tennessee, Assist ant Secretary of State, causes almost general regret at the Capital, as he is ono of the most accomplished and popular statesmen in pul lie life. WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN TEM PER AN CE UNION. Communication by One of the Members at Lincolnton. Mrs. Mary Read Goodale, daugh ter cf the distinguished Mrs. Read, of Baton Rouge, a leading educator a linn . - i inn will spend October working in North Carolina in the interest of the "W. C. T. U. Mrs. Goodale is the wife of a prominent lawyer of Baton Rouge, aud comes to us highly recommeud el by Miss Willard and Mrs. Chu piu as a national organizer and faithful worker in the ranks of the Wui te Ribbon Army. She will speak at Asheville, Oct. 2nd, at Morgan ion on the 3rd, at Hickory on tho 4ih and at Lincolnton on the 5ib. She charges nothing for her services, but a collection will be taken to aid the Temperance work. The follow, ing is what is said of her by Rev. W. C. Black, D. D., of New Orleans: Mrs. Mary Read Goodale gave two addresses that were superb. They were learned without pedantry, log ical without stiffness and ornate without meretricious finery of speech. And Mrs. Gooda'e is withal a very pleasing speaker. A fi.no face, a countenance that bespeaks a candid, honest soul within, a perfect ease and self-posses3ion of manner, a voice soft and sweet, and yet strong cnongh to till an auditorium, a thor ough mastery of the principle of the elocutionist's art, an intense flaming zeal in that noble cause which bat tles for "God and home and native land" these qualifications make Mrs Goodale, woman though she is, a foe to be dreaded by the hosts of Bac chus. She is the Frances Willard of the South. She has already dealt the rum traffic terrible crushing blows in North Louisiana. Through her instrumentality unions have been formed which have swept this belJish traffic from whole parishes. A I look upon such noble women I have a iroro exalted estimate of our fallen humanity. To do the work which she is now doing requires in the first place a vast amount of arduous toil to acquire a fitness for the work, requires long absences from home requires the worry and manifold in convenience of constant travel, re quires a hundred things that aro not pleasing to a modest, refined, home loving woman as Mrs. Goodale is. Yet all this she is willing to ondure in order to save tho sons of men from a drunkard's grave and a drunk ard's hell. AH honor to such noble, self-denying, cross bearing. God fearing, humanity-loving women. They will never bo appreciated at their true worth until God comes to -gather up his jewels.' " If ever "a soul has burned with boh' indigna tion. It is when I h:vc L i men 1 denounce and ridiculo these heroic women "of whom tho world is not worthy." I as much belieuo these Women's Chris, ian Temperance Union worr.cn are divincly callcd to do the work they rro doing as that I am called to "minister in holy things." And not alone do I honor these leaders of tho hosts of reform : I honor the rank and file as well Not ali can bo leaders. Not ah have speaking and organizing tal ent. Not all can be spared from the home circle for distant journeys. Yet those whose labors are more cir cumscribed manifest the same spirit of consecration that characterizes their more widely known co-'abor-ers. In a great variety of the Chris tian womanhood of this lnd is work ing, woiking persistently, energetic ally, heroically, to banish from our heaven favored land this vile traffic in human damnation. 1 thank God that I livo in this ago when in fulfillment of ancient prophecy he has poured out his spirit upon his "hand maidens" and emboldened them to take tueir stand in the fore front of this warfare between heav en and hell. Naught but the spirit of God could have put woman there, and naught but that spirit could hold her there. None but the Searcher of all hearts can measure the true heroism, and self-abnegation, the soaring faith, the fervent piety and the pure philanthropy that are embodied in the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Conspiring Against Carlisle. Washington, Sept. 12. The dc velopements of the past few days in dicate that a determined fight is to be made against Carlisle by tho ex treme Protectionists, who hope the allurements that can be held out to new members will induce them to enroll themselves 6r the side of a ri. val for the Speakership. Several gentlemen closely identified with the Protection wing of the party have supplied themselves with lists of members of the new House, and are now actively engaged in making a canvas to ascertain the strength ol the opposition to Speaker Carlisle. The movement is in no way identi ficd with the effort to have Carlisle .. x.k. ui nuaiQ from tbo Demo cratic caucus to acccptthe chairman ship of the Ways and Means Commit tee or some other important commit tee. The folly of such -a course on tho part of his friends is freely admitted on all sides. The gentlemen referred to are considering the advisibility of putting forward either Crisp, ot Georgia, or Burns of Missouri. Crisp oas publicly staled that ho will not be a candidate, but it is though that if he can be assured a respectable fol lowing in tho caucus ho will permit his name to be used. Burns has not been approached a yet, but it is thought he would embrace his oppor tunity to add to his political experi ence and reputation. It is surmised that this movement is engineered by certain wealthy Protectionists, both Republicans and Democrats, who prepared to go to any Iengih to de feat tho measures which are being prepared by prominent revenue re formers. Charlotte Chronicle. Wipe Out the Internal Revenue. The Cincinati Gazette, republican, very properly says : "The Internal Revenue system should bo wiped out absolutely. It was justifiable only as a war neces sity. Tho war being over, and the revenues being in excess of the wants of tho Government, it should be abolished. There is a sentiment in favor of maintaining the tax be cause it is imposed npon liquors and tobacco, but sentiment is not busi ness. The Internal Revenue sys tem has served to cause more per jury and dishonesty than any scheme that ever was or- ever conld be de vised for the collection of revenue. It has demoralized hundreds ot thousands of people. It has con verted an army of honest men into hicves and perjurers. It has in ad tdition, caused a blanket oT suspicion to rest upon every man, almost, cn gnged in the liquor or tobacco busi ness. At the same time it has main tained an army of office-holders. The sooner these are remanded to industrial pursuits the better; and the sooner the detectives, whose business it is to convict some body of rascality, the better for tho morals of the country. As to the mere sentiment, thero is not ing in that Tbo tax o 1 liquor rnd tobacco 1 oca not diminish the contnmptioa a ar ti.Ie. There should te no hilf-wjy work abont tho busii.e h. Tha true policy is to wipe out the Interna Re en uc system rxt and branch That would dispose of the surplus revenue very largely, and at tin same limo wipe out largely the d . moralized influences that are cursing the 2 -untrv. "Is that family that has move' in next door neighborly J"' asked on Sioux Falls woman of another. "Yes, they appear to be. They'v borrowed flour of me twic 7 tea oner and sugar three limes. Then the have got our tub and the halche and two lengths of stovepipe and tht baby carriage, and tho woman emp ties all the slops over the fence ii our vard and I see her coming acros:- now to hang hor clothes on ou iine." "I shouldn't think you would like to have them borrow things so much and act quite so free." "Oh, I don't worry much about it We've got their mop and about half of their dishes and their rolling pin and washing machine and the other day 1 borrowed ten slicks of wood from them, and each evening our hired girl puts on better clothes than the woman has to her back and walks up and down on the sidewalk, and to-niht I'm "going to put out for their dog. Oh, we're getting pois ona long very nicely, and I think the are going to bo very pleasant neigh bors. This always was a splendid neighborhood. Dakota Bell. Married Her Father's Colored Coachman. New Haven, Conn., Sept. 12. Miss Mary Tucker, a girl of nineteen, daughter of John S. Tucker, former State Representative, has married John W. Hanchett, her father's col ored coachman, and disappeared with him. Miss Tucker was allow ed as much liberty as any other girl living in the city, but ber parents never dreaming of her intimacy with Hanchett. Hanchett persuaded her to color herself with a liquid. Tho villago minister performed tho cere mony and the couple fled. They are being pursued by ihe girls father and some of his friends. Tucker threat ens to shoot Hanchett on the first sight.
