Mr. A. G. Corppniiitf North

says, "1 write this to say
that the little bottle of medi
cine called Kephaline is a
splendid remedy for headache
in y whole family use it and
all nay that it relieves them."
Mr. wilson Lanton, Kings
Creek, Caldwell Co. X. C.says
"I have used Kephaline for
headache, toothache nnd
neuralgia add have never
failed to be relievet 1, I have
also used it for Colic in doses
of one and two drops with
great benefit."

After hearing the very able
sp eeh of Mr. William A.tJra
ham, in the court house, on
27 ult,, I felt sorry that every
fanner in Watauga was not
iresen.
Mr Graham isa son of Gov.
William A.Graham, who was
one of North Carolina's mast
distinguished sons; having
been Gov. of North Carolina
and Secretary of theXavy un
der President Filmore; and
who occupied during his long
and useful life, many other
places of the highest trust;
and whose name will be re
vered in North Carolina, as
long as patriotism shall have
a votary wit bin her precincts.
We have no doubt the son
is imbued with the same pa
t riot ism and love of country
that ever characterized his
distinguished father.
He spoke of the trials of
the farming chu s, and pros
ed bv facts, that while al
most every other interest in
the country is prospering, the
farmers art getting poorer
every day.

nere is uir innnn . i u , mi, ,
war peo dv preeonceivi-o (i m
ions, that our system of Nn
tional taxation is the cans-'
of all our financial troubles.
Tin? money of the count ry is
being withdrawn too fast
from the channels of trade,
and being hoarded in the Na
tional vaults. H it was all in
du time returned to the peo
ple, it would not be so bad.
but that is not the case. A
surplus in t he Treasury is con
stantly growing while the
money in circulation is con
stantly growing less, until all
values have shrunk to an al-
armir.g extent, and while the
farmers are suffeing, they
are not alone. The poor la
borers in the great manufac
turing centers are reduced to
almost penury, until 'strikes'
'lock-outs' and mobs are or-
ly too prevalent. It is no
time now forcriniinationnnd
recrimination. We must stare
the cold hard facts in the face.
We know that times are get
ting harder every day; we
know that our lands are de-
pieciafing in value year by
year; we knowthut while cap
italists, manufacturers and
money lenders are growing
richer every day, that the
poor a re getting poorer. Ue
are fast driftinginto that de
plorable condition, so much
lreaded by every patriot, of
two classes, the one very rich
the other very poor. Let the
people take the bearing ami
see what latitude they are in.
ir the old drip ofStateisfrift
ing toward the breakers, let
the wheel be turned, nnd the
course of the vessel changed.

The Penitentiary is far
from being self-sustaining
at present. The report for
the first quarter of the cur
rent year shows I at the
earnings were 1 4-2, 8 to. 'H.
and the e.pendituresr,l ,
SCiJbGl leaving the expens
es above earnings at $9,008,
;U. We do not expect" soon
to see this tax upon the peo
ple removed. We have seen
no plan suggested by which
popular objection to utilizing
the convicts a,s mecitanics
can be overcome and at the
same time makethe Peniten
tiary self-sustaining. If you
do not put the rascals at
trades they cannot pay their
own way. it you uo pi t
them at trades you then
bring Penitentiary work in
competition with honest la
bor, and tvis is dissatisfying.
If the convicts ar finally used
to construct excellent county
roads, the tax payers should
be content for some years to
conn4, as in that way they
will linnalbv leap gooJ re
turns in the advantages
brought to them. They can
save a great deal in the ware
and tear of teams, vehicles,
etc.. and can haul about
double or treble as m;ch
over t he roads Wilmington

Of the men who make their
mark in the world, but a small
pro portion a re College bred.
Want is needed is to teach a
habit, of thought, ofrarcfnlly
considering, of arriving at
truth. The great end is to
(quip a man that he may un
erringly reach the tin, h of the
matter. To do this the su
perior education which t;e
college gives s not. essential.
But to work well, one must
have good tools. Edward
Everett once said: To read
the English language well, to
write with dispatch a neat,
legible hand, and be master
of the first four rules of arith
metic, so as to dispose at
once, with accuracy, of ever
y question of figures which
'canes up in practice. I call
this a good- education. And
ii you add th ability to w rite
jui re, grammatical English
I regard it. is an excellent ed
ucation. These are tools.
You can do much with them
but you arc hopeless without
them. We agree with Mr.
Everett. He himself was
noted as a man of culture,
and vet he knew that with
these tools, an earnest com
petent man could carve out
his fortunes and engrave his
name high on the scroll of
fame. Acir.s nnd OVenvr.
