THE DAILY WORKMAN. J. 8. MIlllAUX, Local Editor A paper for all people, but especially to meet tbe desire . which many are known to entertain for a non-political sheet tbe Wohkmax will strive to go into every house, leaving to other papers the o e nee of politics, giving the news in brief and holding itself responsible to the moral senae of tbe community for its utterances. The Building and Loan Asso ciation. Don't whoop it up," but take all the slock you want between now and the loth of October. We believe it to be a first-rate institution, and splendid for building up a town, From, Mr. R. A. Jenkins we learn that he saw the two brag water melons of Winston weighed yester day morning. One weighed 91 lbs., the other 106. They will be exhibit ed at the coming State Fair, should they keep sound unil that time. Wc tee from the Danville Regis ter that Mrs. John Rosser while on a visit to the Straight Stone section several days ago, was thrown from a bueev and pamlully hurt. She is now at her home in Danville slowly recovering. The Wilmington Morning Star completed its eighteenth year on the 23d of September, and has fairly earned the right to live and move and shine in the light-shedding firma ment of daily newspapers. It has never waned nor flickered since we first knew it. Mr. Eli N. Moffit, of Moore county, with Mrs. Morfitt, is here purchasing goods for his store. Mr. Moffitt drives a large business at Noise, Moore county, on Deep river, forty miles from Greensboro. He has long been a libeial customer of our merchants. He comes up on theC. F. &Y. V. Railroad, and is stopping at the Benbow. Mr. Jas. A. Robinson,, late of the Winston Leader, who has be come a partner in the Argus news paper at Goldsboro, made a brief call onus this morning on his way east- Mr. Robinson will have a fine field at Goldsboro, and the Argus will have about the best man to be had for the position to be filled. He understands his business, and will be a felt acquisition to the Argus. Suc cess. - : ' ; "-' - , If it is any gratification to Miss Ada Gray to know that on this occa sion she had all the ladies'in the au dience in tears more than once, and a large fraction of the sterner sex polishing the perspiration out of their eyes, she ought to be happy. And again in the first two acts, where she has the lines to allow her to do so, the charming little touches of humor in a wife, whose only coquettishness is reserved for her husband, were so deliciously neat that ; the transition afterwards to the desperation of in sane jealously was only too vivid in its realistic effect, St. Louis Globe; Good Driving. -Yesterday after noon a one horse vehicle from the country, containing a -man and a woman on. the front seat, and two children riding on a back seat, might have been seen moving evenly and nnietlv nn South " F.lm ulropt'. All T j -r - . , ....... this is natural enough, but the man i held in one hand a rope, the other . end of which was fastened about the horns of a milch cow, and the cow moved along beside the buggy as quietly as one could imagine, keeping -step with the horse and showing no disposition to pull back. Such a sight we never witnessed before. We guess that cow had been well raised, and that the family had taught her or- lo behave on the streets. ".Lynchburg. Va , is reviving the project of the Lynchburg, Halifax & Durham Railroad, and the Camp bell Record, published at the court house of the county, urges the build ing of such road, beginning at the fair grounds in Lynchburg and fol lowing Ward's road along the loot of Chandler's Mountain, thence t the court house, down Mollie's Creek to Big Falling, down Big Falling to Brookneal. Such a road was Char tered in 1SS4. A Lift. A t-ue and tried friend in one of the eastern counties, in a friendly letter, says: tainly give Greensboro "You cer a lilt in nearly every number you issue." We suppose our friend means that we speak so well of Greensboro as to elevate it in the estimation of persons living elsewhere, which is our pur pose, so far as telling the truth will accomplish it. Fortunately, we can speak well of our town and its peo pie withort yarning." Building and Loan Association A satisfactory understanding hav ing been reached as to the prelimi. naries to be observed, an ope.ung is now formally announced for the sub errintinn at stock. ropers nae Y- - been duly piepared, and are now ready for signatures. The following s a copy of the same : We, the undersigned, pledge our fives to subscribe the number of shares opposite our names in a build ing association to be established under the same constitution and by laws as those of the Greensboro rtmhlmfT Association, which has ------ r. now been run successfully for two years. Tbe needs of the town for a second association require another should be established.' that It is confidently believed that by and through the mutually helpful features of these associations num bers of persons may realize their only possible plan for the acquire- ment of houses and hornet:, the past history of similar institutions being the proof. The same fact is ottested in the, city of Chailotte, and in num bers of other places far and near, and the writer of this article avails him self of the hand of help which the new building association sems so likely to extend. The principle is the same as acquiring property by the installment plan in me usuai way, with the difference that the Association is a chartered institu tion, is ' conducted by clearly stated methods, and makes every man a helper in return for the help he re ceives, in oiner wurus, n pr ominently mutual in its operations. Since the matter was first agitated, a number of persons, without solicita tion, have applied for shares of stock; and a number of names have been taken in advance, ine pur pose is to complete the list, and close the books by the first day of October, in order that the advantages of the Association may be realized as early as possible. For the present there are three lists, headed in the same manner as given above, and which pledge the subscriber to take the number of ' shares named. One of these is at the drug store of Porter & Daiton, one at this office, and one with S. R. Jones, at his stoie .near the market. All persons will, please take notice, and signify as early as possible the amount of stock they require. Governor David B. Hill has been renominated for, Governor of New York. His strongest , oppo nent was Hon. Abram S. Hewitt. ,, " Bev sure to report at this office any and every failure to receive the Daily Workman. ' , a,' The Danville Register of to-day sayst Mr. G. M. mithdeal, of the busi ness college,' has gone to Philadel phia, and Mr. J.'W. Peeler takej his place. The premium list of the 73rd annual Fair of the Cumberland coun ty Agricultural Society, to be held in Faycleville, N. C , November, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th, 1SS5, has been received. Can't Bk Trur. Rev. Sam Jones gets $200 a week for preaching. Moody receives the same. Ex change. This estimate cannot be true, for this would involve.a rrgular system of collection and disbursement to make any specified amount. The very highest assumption in that di rection would be that the two men received liberal compensation by means of the free-will offerings of their hearers. But to say that "Sam Jones gets $200 a week for preach ing, and Moody receives the same" is the guess of a scribbler, who makes out a coincidence between the two men in the amount received by each a coincidence which, even if it existed, would not be known to the public. The truth is, we venture to say, that neither or the men would receive $200 a week for their ser mons, to be devoted to their own personal uses. "Just one Glass". Shriek after shriek penetrates the air : curse after curse fall from the hps of a frenzied man ; but his heart rending cries can not bring him that with which ha seoks to quench his thirst. No stream can subdue the fire that is consuming him Oh, God, in pity, in mercy, snatch him from the burning! Oil, ye murderers of the soul, ye manufacturers of woe, ye dispenser of the maddening fury, ye servants of the Fire King I List ye all to tbe voice, harsh, yet suppliant, as it entreat, implores you for ocft more, just one mor, glass! Ten years ago to night he fared sumptuously in one of the most elegant mansions in the "City ot the Strait :" ha was climbing the ladder of fame by hit own talent, with a strong foothold on success. A noble, generou disposi tion and temjierate habits were his; the beat of wiven comforted and en couraged him, and I beautiful children made him rejoice that he lived. Nine years ago to-night, weary and ill from overwork, a companion placed befoie bim a sweetened glass "to rouse hia flagging strength." Kefusala were of no avail, and in one fatil moment he yielded to his friend' persuasion and assurance that "just one glass" would not, coald not, injure him. Oh, that one glass! How often has he seen pictured therein such misery as would move a heart of stone, such woe as would make the very angels weep! That one glass! How it' entered into bis very life! . How; it stood like an impassable gulf between him and furth er success? how it imprisoned his soul, bis mind, his body, and them all cap tive held, how like an adder it stung him, as if in tbe wake of a whirlwind it gave wings to his property, his home, to his wife and to his children, and and now was thrusting him cruelly and relentlessly into that untried world! Oh! that one glass, with what phantom like swiftness it served as a key for tbe admittance of the world's most monstrous fiend and thief into all his possessions and attainments, devastat ing his hopes and his joys, his character and peace, and opening tbe path for death to enter and to rob him .of his heart-broken wife, ope of the purest and fairest on earth, and his children- brightest gams-cleaving ! him alone with himself, a wreck on tbe verge of limitless eternity ! No fond wife's caie and devotion there, no childish prattle to call him to life in that ' close, heated room, where he is breathing his last words iu curses and pitiful sup plication- for "just one glass mors!" Oh I ' young men, young wonctn, - just launching oh the vast ocean of life. 1 beseech you to clothe yourself with that impenetrable armor of total abstinence, and under no considerations cast it aside. Oh ! see to , it that your lips never touch the glass that contains the key to such suffering and sorrowful reality as this truthful incident depicts. Oh I taste not, tonch not, handle not, even one glass r , Will-Power A Young Man's Fobtune. President Gat, 0: Rutgers College, Bays: "Every toane man has fortune in fact o: his youth. Tbe energy of youth is onblanfed by defeat, or worn by hope deferred. With age one be comes conservative and looks at as impossible what a young: person would endeavor to accomplish, in many canes with success. Sell confidence, or self conceit, if yon wish to call it so, is a great thing. A young man's fortune is not to be found in inherited wealth or bocis position. Every man is tbe arbiUr of his own fortune. Uracioua man ners or busineps habits are good things to cultivate, but are not all Will-power is tb young man's for tune. It is tbe easeuce of tbo man. A ?oung man with only a. little will-power is a foregone failure. It should be cultivated. Genius is a gift of God aud should not cause pride, bat an honest pusuit of da ties is an exibition of will power and is something to be proud of. Well-directed, education will-power is what a young man needs. Queer vestiges of old-time eti quette still linger ia Virginia. It used to be, and in a measure if still considered the height of rude ness for one person in driving to pass another person on the road. As a result, the slowest coach on the road could keep all tbe others behind it; time and distance were relatively of no importance. Even now tbe people apologize when they pass each other on tbe road. It has also been alleged that a real ly high-bred Virginian never bo far forgets etiquette as to inquire of a 6tranger where be was from, be cause the stranger might be forced to acknowledge that he was from some other State than Virginia and it was only charity to spare him this mortifying admission. It is hotly-disputed point, and has been for tho last 5200 years, whether a guest spending the night with bis host should make tbe move to go to bed or whether the host should. Boston Journal. .
