The crowd of neowle that as- sornbled at Carolina Iieach yes terday to witness the balloon ascension and parachute drop by Prof. Jewen were treated to a Kurprise a sensation uiai was starting in the extreme. Cuss Hill and Charley Wil liams the former black and the latter brown were employ ed by prof. Jewell, the aeronaut, to stand MKi4e the balloon dur ing the process of inflation and throw water 011 the stray sparks that misrht lodge against the walls of the .balloon. Cass was cautious, and warned Williams to keep his weather-eyj open whde tue balloon was fllliug The process consumed about twelve minuted, and at last Pro fessor Jewell cast on the stay rope, and called to Cass to cover the furnace, and then startled the audience with the acustom ed formula. "Well, good bye, ladies and gentlemen. Let go all!" Everybody looked to see tho Professor jerked into tha air in his parachute, but instead, saw the parachute tear loose from the balloon and a helpless tender-foot tangled in toe ropes leading f rom the balloon to the parachute, lielore a man could count ten the wretched man was'swineingin the in the up per deep. Prof esor J e well call ed out, "Hold on fast and be of- good cheer and you will come down all right." "I ll do it," came back in faint tones, and away went the victim. Ladies screamed and some prayed for his safety, herybody expect ed that ho would faint and fa 1 headlong, aud all hoped that the balhwn would soon descend. But h'gher and higher it sped, until Charley llliams -tlang ling in the roiw looked like a knot in a shoestring. From where he was he might see Foil Fisher and Camp Wyatt, and buear Loaf. At last, when hope had almost died away, the balloon v, as 8eeu to turn downward, and now a new danger threatened the-tann who had clung so desperately to the ropes, for the balloon came very near upsetting and enveloping him; but it righted and continued to descend w.th ever increasing siced.' Surely, thought the people, even if he holds on he will be dashed to death by the rapid descent, and a great crowd ran . westwardly to witness tne tinal catastrophe. Williams, however disengaged himself from the ropw-when the hilloon was a short distance from the ground and i-waiied unhurt, lie was in a profuse perspiration, though the. day was cool, and did not know whether he was a Blaine Repub tican or a Trammy heeler. The hrst words he uttered when as su red of his safety were: "I ought to have the money, 'case I m the one that went up. Scores of bunds were stretched out to him aud a moderate show- er of nickels, dimes, quarters and halves made him glad. Kvery day brings some new development In the balloon as ceiiHion busiiiehs. First, the bailmm went: next.

Multiplied Individual Success - the Secret. While the South needs amany- sided simultaneous growth rather than an isolated develop ment in . particular sections, nevertheless it is the individual success multiplied, say a thous and fold,, which produces the aggregate growth. In the make up of its progressive history eveiy man - should do his part and thus be entitled to share in the common benefit. Individual success contributes to the genenL prosperity and where this ldoa aominaies more is union of elfort' for the com mon irood. livery' transaction has a two-fold relation, being directly allied with individual interest and remoieiv wun inai of the community at large. The former alone is generally re- cotrnized. the latter however prevails though its presence be ignored. A. succeeds in the im provement of his farm or in the making known the advantage, resource and possibilities of his own location andwnue tnus au vertisincr his few acres he is nublishinir those of his neighbor hood, county and State thereby nromotimr the common welfare though bent only upon his per sonal interest, me unwniien law maiutain-i despite the re strictions with which individual effort would teek to limit. It is this . kind of co-operation which la needed amonir the agricultural and all other classes of our southland. It will unite tnem in eirortand lead them to build more widely than they plan in these days of rapid prog-' res. Advertising St'tijrjjet. Don't expect an advertisement to bear fruit m onenignt. Bread is tho staff of human life, and advertising is the staff of business. You can t eat enough in a week to last a year, and you can't advertise on that plan either. A thing worth doing is worth doint: well. A thing worth ad vertising is worth advertising well. The entr;ir;ing advertiser proves that heuadirstands how to buy, because in advertising h knows how to sell. If vou can arouse curiosity by an advertisement, it is a great point cained. The fair sex don't hold all the curiosity in the world. ..People who advertise only once in three months forget that most jtcople cannot remem ber anything longer than about seven days. A constant dropping will wear a rock. Keep dropping your advertisement on the public, aud they will soon melt under it like rock-salt. Quitting advertising in dull times is like tearing out a dam because the water is low. fcith er plan will prevent good time from coming. A man's sign offers a mute in vitation to those only who pass nis place 01 pusines; ui circu lar can only reach those to whom personal attention is giv en; but his announcement in a newspaper goes into the high ways and byways, finding cus tomers and compelling them to consider his arguments.

The management of the South ern Exposition to be held during October and November, 1 881, at tho Capital city of North Caro lina, have arranged a novel plan for the farmers within five or six days drive of the city.
