How tUo Southern State Pro vide for Their Veterans, Atltt'iiU Ooniti'nttuD. Georgia's Confederate pen sion system, under which, dis abled veterans receive from $2 to 25 per month, according to the disability, is highly credit able to our State; but it ehould accept and maintain the home near this city, in order to com plete the good work. It will be ot interest to revive the situation in other . Southern States. Virginia led in the movement . and established a Confederate home at Richmond, for the support of- which the State expends $10,000 a year. Pensions to the amount of f 5, 000 annually are also paid. Alabama has ni home, but pays $12 ,000ayear in pensions. Arkansas has a borne at Lit tle Rock, built by orivate sub scription, supported by State aid. Florida nas no home, butpays $30,000 a year to disabled Con federates w ho have resided in the State fifteen years. x" idississippi is without a home, but has made liberal provision, for her indigent and. disable Confederates Missouri pays no pensions, but a movement i&. on foot to raiwe ?loo,000 to endow a home without State aid. , Maryland has a $40,000 home near Baltimore, aided by the State to the extent of f 10,000 annually. , ?

Nothing should displace laugh ter. It adds to life. But there is not a more pitiable spectacle that of an aduit life wasted in pleasure. Some central utility should rise in every adult life. The census takers could not tell. how many people in this coun try .are devoting . themselves almost wholly to pleasure. The rapid accumulation of wealth may have lured a mil lion, perhaps two millions, of people from' their usefulness. Next in evil to the devotion to pleasure is the struggle for no toriety. 1 he book ot lire should be shown only to its writer.

Gov Cleveland's Partltmiishlp. Xiirlott Cliro J ; Monday night, the 13th inst., Ex-President Cleveland, spoke to the Democratic clob in New York, in honor of Jefferson's birth 5uy. His spch was an other revelation of t'' inward noss and beauty V , genuine Democracy. We -op; one paragraph::';-, r, j" V-' ; ' - It seems that t ') r atmosphere which pervades this place : is ill 6uited to selfish and ignoble de signs; and I feel at this moment that i am surrounded by influ ences which myite patriotic artis 'nship and disinterested evotioh to party principles. This sensation is most agree able, for I am glad to'be called partisan, u my partisanship is patriotic, If partisan is cor rectly defined as "one who is violently and passionately de voted to party or interest," I must plead guilty to the charge of being a Democratic partisan, so long as Democracy is true to its creed and traditions,; and so long as conditions exkt which to my understanding makes ad herence to its doctrines synony mous with patriotism . Mr. Cleveland is a partisan, but a patriotic partisan. This is a severe, but just criticism upon the political temper of the times, uaa he oeen a "m e oound" partisan it is probnoie that he would now be President of the United States. We tear that Mr. Cleveland is too .far ahead of his degenerate times in politics. Patriotism and of fice, are entirely ' private and selfish affairs with the Ameri can citizens. He looks at the preferments.and duties of the government in relation solely to himself. Th it is the reason Mr. Cleveland's hiirh and noble creed in politics has been no more successful Thousands of Democrats are ready to curse him today for holding to patri otic partisanship, instead of the close-fisted partisanship of Benjamin Harrison, who cuts off Democratic official heads like a McCormik reaper mows down a California wheat field. But it is refreshing for the country -and the " democratic party to have one man, who chooses to reveal political truth in its simplicity and beauty, though he stands at the stake. llw IJarnuiu Itown t' Mreatne. P. T. Barnum said, in an in terview the other day: "What is the secret of success? Ad vertising advertising-nothing else. That is the sum and sub stance of the whole thing. I put advertisting ahead of pluck, perseverance, and economy. Get yourself ta'ked of and writ ten about even if you are abused arid traduced, if you hope for success in this world. I remem ber when I got Tom Thumb and Lavina warren married in Urace Church Ah! what a splendid piece of advertising that was! There is of course considerable opposition on the part of many church people, and a few days after, a woman came to me with the account she had written of the affair. She was a blackmailer, and told me I bad better buy the manuscript outright, as it was a terrible attack on me. 'My dear raadame,' I said, I don't care what you have said about me. If you have stated that i stole the communion - service from Urace Church so mucn the better. , ' Say anything you' like, only, for heaven's sake, say. some thing.' She decided that try ing to black-mail me was not a success. No man need- to ex pect to succeed without adver tising."

The jubilations of the Repub lican journals over tho reduc tion in the price of sugar fumish a fine illustration bf the humors of politics. These protectionists never weary of denouncing free trade and lauding protection to the skies. Yet they are now loudly claiming credit for this one slice of free trade in the McKinley bill. See what the Republican party has done for you, you can afford to put an additional lump of sugar in your coffee and your little boy can buy two sticks of candy now in stead of one. Does it ever oc cur to these writers that they are stultifying themselves? or perhaps it may be that they think the people fools. It is the most natural th ng in the world to conclude that if free trade in sugar is such ( a good thing, free trade in all' the ne cessaries of life would be a bet ter thing. The sweet taste of this freo sugar will only whet the public oppetite for a little more freedom of trade. After all it is no!; so certain that the Eeople are goia ? to get the full enefit of this reduction of the sugar tariff. Already there are ominous indications that the sugar trust is scheming to keep up the price and , pocket the enormous profits. ell, . let them try that game. The pa tience of tho people will at last be exhausted, and if tariff re form proves in sufficient for re lief, then the Democrats and the Farmers' Alliance will find a way to get at these oppressive trusts and give the country a little more practical reform. Look out. gentlemen, you may be killing the goose which .lays the golden egg, or to change the simile, you are stirring up a hornet's nest about your ears. The people mean to nave their cheap sugar And they mean to have a good many other things in the near future. Is her address before the Judiciary Committee 'of the National House of Representa tives, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, among other very startling things, published m pamphlet for ai and sent everywhere, says: "Woman's discontent, though not noticed or understood sleeps deep down in the hearts of one half of the people This grow ing discontent keeping peace with her virtue, intelligence and larger freedom, is the most dan gerous menace to the state to day.'! , Is this true? " ' ' ' ' Is there a smouldering dis content among half of the peo ple? And is that discontent so deep that it is the greatest dan ger to the government? If so we have been mistaken. If so, it must be removed, even if we must give the ballot to women. It is not the spirit of our republic to give any just cause for deep and wide-spread discontent. That belongs to despotisms and monarchies, not to governments of the peo ple. The women undoubtedly have a right to vote, if there is any justice in our history, for this government was started and won on the basis alone that "taxation without representa tion is intolerable and unjust," and on that basis alone she has a right to make the demand, if slu wishes to. But 'does she wibhtovote? It is not a ques tion of right, but one of expe diency. Are women dissatisfied with being the queen of the holwe and raising boys for ac tive work in state? 'Does she wish to abandon this beautiful plane to batten on that moor? Have men become such cruel tyrants that one-half the nation (the women) have become so discontented that they threaten tho life of the nation?. If o there must be a change. Wo men must not be discontented even if tho men must put on the apivus and rear the boys, and women put on the breeches and run tho state. No, sir., ' Wh it a lloiiiii If True A friend of mine living ; in Madison avmr.-Aay 11.1:1 !: covered a fly th'htrwyer that tiis rmiiitmill the 11 V nuimilts timt have yet been put into ue.

Force of Example, '.It is very great. It is worth a good deal. Durham abroad, just at this time, is ; being cited as an example to follow. In proof of this assertion, we find two paragraphs in the Oxford Ledger: ..... "Work for Oxford aud talk for Oxford as the Durhamite works and talks for that town if he has not been there but two weeks. It is a good example for us to follow. '." "Unless we all harmonize and pull together like Durham, Winston and Reidsville we will never succeed in building up Oxford." : Now, the question every Dur- j hamite should ask himself is: "Are we pulling together ac cording ; to this reputation?" The record must not be broken j if we would keep our fair name untarnished by local strifes. ; " Every man in line with his shoulder to the wheel for Dur ham's progress. Nothing less will make us go forward. -; ; The Democratic party is non sectional It recognizes no North, South, East or .West in its public actions. It advocates the greatest goo'd to the greatest number. It is wedded to the best interests of the whole Union, and therefore, must com mand the respect and support of all who are opposed to sec tionalism and class legislation. ' No matter how you look at things, on this Mundane sphere, there are two sides to every question. ' There is the wrong side and then there is our side. Unless we know that we are thoroughly right, condemnation should not be passed upon others because they do not think as we do. Give every man the privilege to be entitled to, his honest convictions. If he is not right, according to your way of thinking, it is not your fault. You, possibly, may be wrong. A spiritualist asks: "Did you ever io into a dark room where you could see nothing and feel there was something there:" Yes, frequently, and tfye some thing unfortunately chanced to be a rocking chair. 1( The ex-judge of the supreme court of Indiana, Andrew L.

The Mayor of Charlotte Taking: Active steps. Charlotte, N. C, April 16. The police has been busy tor the past few days getting up ev idence to convict the ringleaders in the mobbing bnsiness last Sunday night, of both the whiie and colored factions, and today the work of making arrests was begun. Attention is first being paid to the white people, and several men were this afternoon arrested by the police on war rants issued by the mayor. It is said that fifteen are on the list, The police have been getting up the evidince in a quiet man ner, and the news that they were on the warpath with war ran Is today created a consider able flutter. The names of a doz en or more negroes have been secured. Mayor McDowell says that he intends to punish both sides as severely as the law will permit, and that ho intends to make a thorough and Impartial job of it. The negroes who res cued the prisoner from the po lice are on the list and will be apprehended in due time. Their names are known and their turn will come as soon as the mob- bers have been disposed of. It will be brought to bear upon everr one engaged in the distur banco.

' "BE NOT DECEIVED." , "We Are All Sowers," ' We clip the following sermon . from the Greenville Reflector: It is not often' the' Reflector makes ' special - comment at 1 length upon the sermons of any , ministers of the town but the one preached by Rey.I A,. D.. Hunter at the Baptist chtlrch last Friday night was so plain and applicable, and some of it so very appropriate for the time, that we give a brief synopsis. tie used the text: ,r - Be not deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever' a man soweth that shall he also reap. J? or he that soweth to the liesh . shall of the flesh reap corrup tion; but he that soweth to the spirit shall of the spirit reap life everlasting."' l-fii' " we are all sowers, uur words, our thoughts, and deeds are the seeds we sow. There are two kinds of sowing, ' and we are either sowing one way or the other. Those who-sow-to the flesh are those who follow the . dictates of their carnal natures. This world is the great seed time. The harvest and the day of retribution will come here after, still we do much -sowing here for which wo reap in this life, and you see this each day. Our carnal minds and natures dictate the gratification of the ' flesh and the lusts thereof. Sow- s ing to the flesh is only a , mean . and short lived satisfaction, and is sure to bring ruin, and misery ' at the end. We see those about us every day who are sowing to the. flesh only,', and. many of them are even now reaping their reward, such as gamblers, drink ers, night, walkers, etc. . Strong drink used in excess .will not only destroy the mind and body but will lead to the committal of. any evil. -Man's .whole na ture is corrupted, by it. Whis key and mean women are a curse to any town or, section. Men as a rule are no better and purer than the women demand they shall be. There is no more powerful factor in building the morals of a place than good and virtuous wouien. Good and virttwua women ara next to the -angels, but harlots are next to the devil, and their company is no better than they are, and yet theya are . often, , the popular young men of the community the fast and the deudish Many and many a fair young , maid, pure and true, has ruined her life and happiness by not notic ing how the young man who sought her hand was sowing. Young people should remember that if they spend their youth in sowing seed of corruption, they will spend their old age in reaping the harvest, and the reaping will be the same as the sowing. Our bodies are the temples of the Holy Ghost, and we have no right to abuse them. Sow seeds of honesty. , Get what you get honestly, and let your conscience rest in peace. Some idea of the evils of li-" quor sowing may. be had from the fact that 60,000 men annu ally die drunkards in the United States. Sixty thousands souls ' seat to hell, and an army of widows and orphans left desti tute in the world by the agency of liquor. - . , f Seeds of falsehood is one of the devil's most powerful fac tors. It puts men at - variance with each other and often makes the best of friends enemies for life. Then there are the seeds of delay. There are many souls in hell who did not Intend to go ' there, but who kept on putting off making their peace with God untl it was too late. " But there is a bright side. Sow to the Spirit and follow the directions of the Son of flod speaking to you through " His word and your conscience, and you will reap everlasting life, and all will be well with you. Christ has given us Hia exam ple to bo imitated and His word to direct us. All good work should bo our pleasure, and wa should seek to do what is com manded us. .' Let us follow tho leadings of the spirit and we will reap life everlasting. A gnlnst The Lottery. ' " New Okle ass, 'April 17.
