It was the recent pleasure of the writer to visit the Morganton asylum, and there we learned much that surprised us. Every thing around the institution told of excellent management and a careful attention to duty on the part of the staff and emnloves. We cannot recall that any one of the many institutions of like character visited in several years could make any better showing. ine Citizen believes, then, that when Dr. McCampbell appears before the legislature for aid his appeal will not be in vain. It is a great work which the Morganton asylum is doing, and in the discharge of its mission it flourishes no trumpets but moves on quietly and effectively. It is unfortunate for the human race that such an institution should be necssary but since we cannot change the workings of nature we should aid and encourage those who are administering to the wants of the most unfortun ate class of human beings. We can imagine no fate more terrible than the loss of one's reason, but the horror with which one con templates sucn an affliction is somewhat mitigated by the knowl edge that our great common wealth provides homes where skillful brains and hands seek to add occasional light to the long night of mental darkness. And if we remember rightly, past legislatures have not done their full duty by the Morganton asy um; the few appropriations it has been able to obtain have not been sufficient to carry oat the work contemplated, while other state institutions, not nearly so much in need, have been bountifully assisted. This end of the state should see to it that our neighbors m Morganton are given every assistance when we next go to Raleigh. persons were killed and another is not expected to live.

Near ly every public building in Vir ginia, 111., was demolished; farm ers' nomes were wiped out -in Wisconsin and the damage was increased by the heavy downpour of rain, sleet and snow.

Innocent Chinese, leaving everything behind them, are fleeing, terror-stricken and destitute, to shelter in the fields at the rear of the reform forces. The latter, numbering between 20,000 and 30,000, are impotent to check the slaughter or avenge the slain because of their lack of ammunition. The revolutionists had delayed a second concerted attack upon the Manchus pending the arrival of ammunition ex pected from Shanghai. The Manchus took advantage of the situation. The revolutionists made a de termined effort but did little shooting and there were few fa talities. The main body of the reformers remained in camp three miles distant from the city awaiting the arrival of ammuni tion.

Be fore nightfall 20,000 more, rep resenting every class, the mer chants, the gentry and coolies, had gotten away. Meanwhile, the Manchus scoured the narrow streets of the city and the houses of wealthy merchants were sacked. Any queuelesa vie tim was beheaded immediately. The correspondent of the As sociated Press saw several women executed and their children stabbed and trample i under foot. The order appeared to be that every one wearing anything which suggested the white badge worn by the reformers must be killed forthwith. A white pocket handkerchief marked the posses sor for death. White shoes, which are worn by the Chinese as a sign of mourning, were a signal for the execution of th wearer. The horror of the mas sacre cannot be described.

A record business has been done at Mr. L. B. Bristol's cotton gin during the past few days. Mr. Bristol has built up a good seed cotton market and growers from far and near who prefer selling their product as it comes from the field are now hauling to Bristol's gin. Tuesday 52 wagon loads of cotton were re ceived at the gin, nearly all of it coming from the northern section of the county, and 45 of the wa gons were unloaded and their contents handled that day, while the remaining seven, which came in just about dark, were held till next morning. The gin has to be operated the entire day and a portion of the night to meet the demands, but all custo mers are taken care of. The cot ton handled Tuesday aggregated about 40,000 pounds and a good part of it was bought by Mr. Bristol at from 3.50 to 3.75 cents the pound. At prevailing prices this cotton ginned in a single day is worth about $1,500, but if the staple was bringing the price it brought along about this time last year the amount would be nearer $3,000. A good many farmers who are not willing to sell at the prevailing prices are having their staple ginned and stored, with the hope of getting a reasonable piice later. Mr. Bristol's many friends up here will be glad to hear of the good business at his gin. The News-Herald. stantly killed. The accident occurred in a cut. Five cars left the track and turned over against the embank- j ment. None of the passengers were seriously injured. The track was torn up for a distance of about 200 yards. But for the fact that the cars turned over against the embankment it is likely that many lives would have been lost. Mr. Frank M. Cald well, of the staff of the Charlotte Chronicle, was a passenger, but escaped uninjured. The cause of the wreck is a matter of conjecture, though one railroad man expressed the opin ion that the sudden change of temperature last night caused a break in a rail by what is known to sceince as readjustment of atoms after sudden changes of temperature. Another report is that it was due to spreading rails. No official report has been made. The scene of the wreck is only a few miles from Reedy Fork and Rudd wrecks within the last few years. A Few Directions to Servants. Dean Swift had something to say concerning tips in his ironical "Di rections to Servants." "When a gentleman is going away after din ing with your master, he wrote m the section of advice to butlers, "Be sure to stand full in view and follow him to the door, and as you have opportunity look him full in. the face it may bring you a shilling If the gentleman has lain a night in the house get the cook, the housemaid, the stableman, the scul lion and the gardener to accompany you and stand in his way in the hall in a line on each side of him. He must have less money or more con fidence than usual if any of you let him escape. And according as he behaves himself remember to treat him next time he come6." eiy HAKES H0L1E BAKIHG Light Biscuit Delicious Cake Dainty Pastries Fine Puddings Flaky Crusts The only Baking Powder made from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar u Jus; a Suggestion.

Youth's Com panion. Cromwell and Christmas. When Oliver Cromwell was pro tector he ordered all the most im portant towns in England not to observe Christmas, as he considered it to be a hurtful custom. Yet a stricter law he commanded to be kept so that people might forget Christmas. That was that all the markets were to be held on Dec. 25. Naturally this created a great stir among the country folk, and they determined thenceforth to refuse to obey his strict and extraordinary law) Tvhich he tried to enforce, but all to no purpose.
