C, Ir has been suggested that all this talk about an improvement ticket is going to get the town into trouble; that it is proposed to elect a set of young men for Councilnien who do not know how to run the business of the town and who will place a iebt 'of several thousand dollars on. the tax payers. From what we can learn the joung men whose names have been suggest ed for places on the ticket are all men of ability who have conducted their own business with success. As to placing a debt upon the town, that can only be done by a vote of the people, preceeded by an act of the Legislature. So much for this report. Next, JDf course all men have their pref erences when selecting officers for town, county or State, but in cases like town elections men should not bs too anxious about having their friends elected. What Plymouth needs just now in the way of officials i3 a Board of Councilmen that are above selfish ness; who are not simply serying to to keep any one man in office or out. Wc need a board that will make a great effort to boom the town ; who will advocate improvements of all kinds and be ready to grasp any op portunity that may present itself to advance the interests of the town. We need men on that board that will make good laws and who will see to it that the laws made are en forced. We need men who have no pets in society or business ; men who cannot be dictated to by subordinate officers. In short we need MEN, the best men, regardless of politics. Let the various ward primaries be held open, and for once let it not be said that this faction or that did the unfair thing. Let the primaries se lect the best men for the office and all will be well. There may be a great deal in the recent decision of the Supreme Court in the case State vs. W. H. Day. This case was brought to test the validity of an act of the late Legislature, which abolished the offi ce of Superintendent of the State prison and created in its stead an Executive Board composed of three men. The opinion of the Court is that it is not competent for the Legisla ture to turn out an incumbent and still continue the office, with the game duties to be performed. The opinion is written by Justice Montgomery, Justice Furches con curring and Justice Walter Clark dissenting. It not only decides this case, but it will also have the effect of keeping in office several other of ficials whom the legislature attempt In V It is reported that all the Demo ratic members of the Penitentiary oard will resign, throwing back on uperintendent Day and the Kepub- icans, the entire responsibility for he management of the institution. t is over $200,000 in debt and the ppropriation to pay this indebted- ncs wq a rnona nnnHihnn.il - 1, .etirement of Day from its manage ment.

Wo want to make a suggestion to our farmer friends and readers. Merely a suggestion and we leave you to act accor ding to your own sense of duty. It is just this : That yon select this year a rich spot ou your farm, plant it in what you think cuu be raised most profitably, tend it care fully and conscientiously and send the pro ceeds or the produce to aid in the support of the two hundred and fifteen orphan boys and girls in the Oxford Orphan. Asy lum, or the children iu some othr orphan age in North Carolina. This is done in other states and I know . the farmers in our own state aro as charitably inclined as any that the 6uu shines upon. We are ai wholly dependent upon our Heavenly Father for food, for raiment and for all the blessings of life for life itself. From llim must come ths sunshine, the rain, the fruitful season, the abundant har vest. It is from His bounty that all niuot be fed. You could not bestow your loving labor where it would yield a greater harvest of redeemed liyes, than by following our sug gestion. If you could get your son inter esied in this "orphans' acre," it would jteach him a valuable lesson of unsolfish jness, of generosity and of service to others, jfn the sweat of your brow yon toil hard for your own loved ones. Jlay you always be given the strength and the opportunity to provide for them. But never overlook these little, unfortunate children, bet-eft of father, of home, of support, dependent up' on our charity. Feeding an orphan child will never tike bread from the mouths of ytur family. We hare God s word for that : David declares after a long life of varied experience and close observation : "I have bejpu young and now am old ; yet I hay nol Been the righteous forsaken -nor his seep begging bread. Hejy. evev mercifU; anil lendeth andhia.fieed is blessed." cpTonion says : "There is that scatter eth and yet increaaeth ; there is that with- holdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty." Bead in Ecclesiastes : "Cast thy bread upon the waters, for thou shalt find it after many days." Again we have the promise : "Blessed is he that considereth the poor; the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble." Farmer fxiend, sit down and think over the prime importance of this work for the destitute, orphan children of our state a state highly favored of God iu fertile soil and bountiful harvests. If you give the matter venous consideration, I believe you will plant this year a little garden or "or phans' acre," and that, next year, if you are permitted to live, you will plant another, that you will continue the prac tice from year to year and thus materially aid tbia cause in North Carolina and be blessed in giving. Yon have used I sorts of cough rcme-1 dies but it does not yield; it is too deep! seated, it may wear j itself out in time, but it is more liable to! produce la grippe, nneumnnm a swi it. i ff i' I OUS tiirOat aiteCllOn.

It nourishes, j strengthens, builds up and j makes the body strong and healthy, not only to throw i fe il iiij I orr mis hard cough, but to r at-, it 1 i . 11 loruiy me system against f further attacks. If vou are I run down or emaciated you should certainly take this i nourishing food medicine. Soc. nd $i.oo, all druggists. SCOTT & BOWJiF., Chemists. New York. , i III 1 1 m H -II i ii 4.

Some work for tbia, some strive for that, and grind at every turn ; Some long for what they haven't got, and what they have they spurn ; And some rush for the mountain peak to get the sun's last ray, Then crawl into some sunless hole and sleep it off next day. Some find this earth a first. rate place to slave and stint and save, And life's chief pleasure to consist in being glum and grave ; And others with a twinkle iu the hand and heart aud eye, Will stake their lives that they can spend morethan they cau find laid by. Some take a drink when they are dry, and some when they are wet; Some drink for sweet remembrance sake, some that, they may forget. And some there be, like you and me, free from all shame accurs'd, Who have laid down a rule for life- uever to get athirtt. Some turn to this, some turn to that, for fortune and for fame. And some won'Hurn, for' any thing, and get there just the same. Cut there's a common turning point, a fate unkind but just. Where rich and poor, aud great and small, turn one and all to dust.
