A "soft Christmas" charac terized about three-quarters of the surface of- the' United States in - 1891.- Hundreds of Dersons missed the fun they would have had because the roads were so bad they could not tret away from home. Hun dreds of merchants had a most disastrous Christmas trade be cause farmers and their fami lies were ' fast mud bound at home, and could not get to town even for a bottle or. oranay wherewith to flavor mince pies. Thousands of hearts were sad, thousands of pairs of pretty eves looked out upon a dull, gray, wretched, mean and vile world ..Why? Just because the United States has the worst roads of any country itfciviliza tion roads that would make even a wild buffalo of the C la ins blush for his kind if he ad to travel by such trails. While most other improve ments, even to opera singers and race1 horses, have advanced in America with great bounds, our public highways have re mained tne same as tney were when farmers kept six horses to do the hauline that two ean do on a decent track, and vil lages ten miles apart were shut off from one another three months in the year as complete ly as if they were on opposite sides of the continent because the roads were impassable. It is a disgrace to an enlightened country. The road laws are as antiquat ed in many parts of the country as the old laws against witch burning. With all the money at command in this country agriculturists and business men ought at once to take measures to improve our highways. There is no spot where a fine road cannot be built, and such a raod will im prove the value of property as nothinsr else can. Americans ouht to emerge from the mud and go to read-building, letting no dunderhead old hunker no tions stand in tbe way. The Work Senator luea. A year before his death Sena tor Plumb's physician tried to induce him to drop his omcial labors awhile and take a re6t. lie refused to do so, but went on till that bunaay morning when he was found in bed breathing with difficulty, and in a. few hours all was over. With him departed one of the noblest champions the interests of our great western country ever had. Since one must die, perhaps this is the easiest way to go, without the distress and worry of a long illness. It is better, far better, to work tn as lent? as one lives and drop like a high spirited horse in-harness at the end of it. But Senator Plumb was not an old man only fifty four. lie. had a fine, strong Physique and ousrht to have lived at least twputy-flve years yet. He died of overwork, the doctors say, and (here is no rea son to doubt it. The fact may dispel to some extent the pop ular idea that a United States senator's life is one of idleness, luxury and champagne drink injr. The truth is that no life can be much harder. The constant committee meetiig, the inces bant seeiag of constituents and attending to bills, the awfu correspondence from office seek rs and those with axes to grind, art a grievous load to carry, Worst of all perhaps art the interminable, hopelessly dul speeches a senator inunt liaten to. These speeches in some cases require three and four days for dolivery. It wuiiM kill ahorse. Then, too, a senator must always mix more or less in that feverish, incessant drive of social life in Washington. If he does not, then' his ronstitu entslayitup against him and 111 1- t " . t t . inins ne is not upnoiuing iae dignity of their state as he should. No matter how a sena tor works, either: no matter how useful and well beloved he is. if he dies in office he wil not be placed in his coffin before the public begins to speculate VU W UV 1119 BUl-CYSPOT Will UO. The subject of reforms at funerals which has received more or less attention throuzh out the country during the past several years, was discussed by the Baptist ministers of this vicinity at their meetinar ye terday and various suggestions made, which, if generally adopted, will have the effect of accomplishing the purpose ought to be attained. The suggestions are published in the local columns, Whin ex-President Cleveland comes here on Washington's Birthday, says a Detroit specia to the New York , Press, there will be held a secret politica conference on the question of his remaining in the field for the President nomination. The chief flerures in it will be the ex-President. Don M. Dickin son. ex-Secretary Vilas, Dan Laraont, and ex-Governor Campbell. The . presence of Campbell is believed to indicate that rather than see .the nomin ationgo to Hill, or any other member of the Gorman-Hill Brice combination. Mr. Cleve land intends to throw all his strength for some outside man, and has picked on Uhio's ex- governor. , ? The congressional eulorrv is not appreciated outside of Con gress, but the intensity of its appreciation there makes up amply for the lack elsewhere. In the adoption of ' the new House rules opportunity was Dresented for reform in the eulocr business, but as the tulegists and the expectants of eulogy could not be made to see any necessity for reform it is not surprising that no reiorm was made. , The Raleigh News and Ob server says the new. j udge m the 9th District is named lion. George A. Bhuford, who has recently been a member of the well known firm of Jones & Shuford, a gentleman of high character, courteous manners and fine legal ability. Judge Shuford, we feel every assur ance, will wear the ermine with honor to himself and credit to the State. - The America Tobaceo Com- nanv 'makes a chancre in its methods. Allowances and do nations are to be abolished. The Company finds that their system benefitted enly a part of be trade instead of the whole. and the equivalent in the future win be spent in advertising. The news comes from Lon don that the deacons of the Tab ernacle, who have in there "pow er the choice of a suocessorto the late Mr. Spurgeon, have de cided to select Mr. Charles Spurgeon, now at Qreenwick, a fluent speaker and sound the ologian. Two physicians at Crawford- ville, Ind., refused to attend a man suffering with earache. He died in convulsions, and the doctors have been sued for neglect. The Charlotte News wants the State Democratic Conven tion to meet in that city, and the Greensboro Record seconds the motion. Charlotte would be a very desirable place to hold it. What a splendid thing it would be for the world if the mischief, makers would go on a strike. All of our secret and benevo lent organizations the Masons, Udd fellows, Knights of Pythias, all contain men of a high degree. Fact! A darter Tnone, .Now. An ingenious little instru meat called the garter phone has lecently been invented, which, attached to my lady's garter, registers the distance she walks each day. The phys ical culture craze has put an end to the languid belle. v e men go in for all sorts of out' door sports, and just now walk' ing is iuu lati. mi neroine oi the hour is the woman who has walked the greatest number of mile a day. Hitherto it has been impossible to determine to ; . . - t ni ? . r a nicety the distance covered in a given time, as when a day is spent in the deviating tere gnnation of a shopping tour. Now the young woman proudly exhibits ner garter phone to aaminng iriesas, and it is not unusual for the little machine to register five or six miles. and even ten occasionally. The young woman who was too luzy te walk and yet did not wih to be entirely out of the race, aat in the hammock all day enjoying a novel, while she swung her pretty foot back and forth, thereby attaining the result on her gartorphone as nrr mure vuergrtic eisier. ouu Francisco Examiner. We are not unmindful of the appreciation of the North Wilks boro news, and the kind txpres sions that paper has seen lit to accord the cn. Wt hope the Sv deserves all the News and the Dvutucrn Tobacconist says out. - Tlie Cotton Report. The cotton report sent out from Washington last week is aiifollews: The February cet ton report of the statistician of the Department of Agriculture relates to the proportion of marked -quality; yield of lintj the close of the picking season; losses by insects, and the 'price of seed. The proportion sent from plantations as estimated by re porters and accurately consoli dated, is as follows: Virginia, 80. North Carolina, 82. South Carolina, 90. Georgia, 92. Florida, 92. Alabama, 91. Mississippi, 88. Texas, 36." Arkansas, 88. Tennessee, 89. Missouri, 88. General average, 88.3 percent. Returns of comparisons with crops of last year are: Virginia, 78. North Carolina, 79. South Carolina, 82. Georgia, 85. Florida, 94. Alabama, 92. Mississippi, 92. Louisiana, 99. Texas, 107. Arkansas, 96. Tennessee, 91. Missouri, etc., 90 general ar- erage94.3 per cent. lhe returns are remarkably consistent, as their indicated results vary hf less than one per cent, indicating a crop a- bouthalfa million bales short of that of 1890. The Octobor reports of the two years makes almost identical difference. These results are submitted ithout comment. The estimat ed average time of close of pick ing is by Estates. She Ratified Duva Town l'ell- uell. She had Buffered with tLe phthisic, and had taken tons of physic, And whole barrelfuls of bit ters, and whole loads of nauseous pills; She'd been troubled with mias ma, and all choked up with the asthma, And bean shaken for a mouth or two with ague and the chills; She had had the yellow-fever. of which nothing could relieve her, And the rheumatism lamed her so she could not go about; And she groaned with tousili- tis, and the most acute bronchitis, And she suffered endless tor tures from the twinges of the gout. She had tried old-school-physi- cians, Christian scientists, mairicians. And they got the undertaker to prepare her pall. When great auction sales of laces advertised in various places. Caught her feverish eye one morning, and she leapt up sound and well; She shook death's stiffening rig' or, and with inest emphatic visor. She grabbed her husband's pecket book and rushed down-town pell-mell. Exchange. Mr. S. D. Pool, niirht editor of the New Orleans limes-Dem ocrat, whose death is reperted as having occurred in the Cres cent City Monday night, was native of North Carolina, having removed from Newbirn to Louisiana about eighteen or twenty vears ntm. Ho 'was a well-kuown member of the Southern Press Association, and had been a constant attendant upon the session of that body from its organization at Atlau ta in 18S1 down to tin? last meeting in Birmingham, a couple ef weeks ago. A dispatch has been sent out fron Wtnsten-alni on railroad building in North Caro lina, during ltttl, nnd gives the points from which they were built and number of utiles a tetal of about 130 mih' constructed; yet it does nt say a werd about itrouic i'ukc s Belt line four miles in length. The writer is not thoroughly posted orfrailroad building. The Sl'S congratulates our townsman, Maj. Uuihriv, upon bis railway joint iuventioa. Hope he will make a "rail good thing out of it. It seems that it is getting about time for Representative Bunn to shoot Durham's ed eral building bill into the House Our people art getting anxious a citizen s organizations is in process of fermation in New Orleans to crush out the prac tice of 'carrying concealed weapons. The sentiment which has boen aroused against the practice by the fearful revolt ing tragedies that have occurr eti wunin tne past year, is about crystalizing in an organ lzed effort to suppress it. When public sentiment takes this shape, it more effectually ban isnes mat against which it is 1 ,1. aaa.a directed, than any number of legislative enactments. The Raleigh Visitor trusts that this crystalizing of public sentiment in New Orleans may gather volume as it flows and.ere long reach North Carolina in the shape of a great tidal wave which shall wash away the last vestage of this murderous habit. We hope so, too. The Scn keeps warning its readers against these "green goods" men of New York, who offer to give so many thousands of dollars counterfeit for so many hundreds of good money. it is the biggest kind of a swin dle, yet there are fools enough to bito at it. An Alabama far mer went to New York and came way with a valise in ex chage for his $200. It contain ed six packages, each with a bright new genuine ?' l bill on top of ninety-nine pieces of green paper. A .North Carolina man bit and came away with a brick in his valise in exchange for his good money. All goes to 6how that a fool and his money soon part company. Be ware of the "green goods" men. All sorts of swindles of this kind are practiced. You don't get good, honest money in this way. Hbre is a poser for you. It is irora tne riusooro rtecoru. which always comes forward with something novel from the state of Chatham : A few days aero a man in this county mar ried his step mother, his fathers widow, whose five children are his own half brothers and sis ters, and also now his step children. The idea of a man being the husband of his moth er anil the father of his brothers and sisters 1 James Doxxelly, ef Bridge- ton, N. J., aged sixte-n years, was one of these smart young chaps who assume to be men before they are uaruiy out oi their knee breeches. Saturday evening he wagered that he could eat twenty-four raw eggs withm fifteen minutes, and then drink twenty glasses of beer. He won the amount of thewacrer. $2. but was taken with convulsions two hours later, and died. It doesn't pay to be over smart in seme direc tions. The bill introduced by Repre tentative Newberry, of Illinois, cutting offpensions to foreigners and nonresidents of the United States, is becoming a subject of international interest, and thr.itens te become one of the must serious nroblems to be solved this ses.sion by the House nnmmittiHi on Tensions. Vis patches from abroad state that in one province of Canada over 1.3U0 people win oe anecwa ut tin lmwosod legislation, and Gen. Newberry himself esti mates that the foreign benefi ciaries of pension laws aggre gate at least 1-Vmnk RErniEXTATivn Wilke, of Illinois, has introduced in the House a serio f resolutions, which have secured tbo approv al f a number of bis Democrat- colleagues, declaring that the tariff is a tax and calling mion the v and Means Committee to rejft-rt as speedily as possible bills enlarging tne free list ana mincing compen satory duties in accordance with the pledges of the party to thrt people. To meet any defi ciency ia revenue caused by this action, the resolutions pro pone that thn committee shall also report a bill providing for a graduated income tax.

The liquor bill of our count. . in all its various forms is ne less. It is hoped that at least forty thousand of eurnennliv inw eluding women and children, do not drink ardent spirits. At. least ten thousand of our citi zens do drink. five thousand mi.f. drinkers will average twenty dollars per annum, erone hun dred thousand. Four thoimaml ey.ery day drinkers will average uuuurs per annum or twe hundred thousand total. One thousand drunkards will aver age one hundred dollars per year or a total of one hundred thousand dollars Thus our population in Wake county con sume annually of the two items not less than eight hundred thousaed dollars, and this too at a time when cotton our leading crop is selling at two cents per pound below the cost of pro duction. WhO Will bwrin reduction of expenses here? ' v The above is an average of sixs teen dollars per head for each man, woman and child in our county.

Short Items of I o tore t for Busy Headers, The new $1,000 pipe organ for Oxford's new Praahrturijin church has arrived and tha Ledger says it is a beauty. Greensboro ought to be hap py for one day. A hand organ on wheels and a balloon man were on her streets Thursday; yet the Record wants the street sprinkler brought out. Rev. J. W. Lee, the Irish evangelist, is conducting a meeting iu Raleigh at Fayette ville street Baptist church. The Vistor says much inttre st is ftlta Mr. Horace West, who has been in the employ of the rail road here for some time, has given up his position and goes to Durham to work for Mr. J. W .

It seems now to be under. stood, that the honors of the en campment ef the State Guard are to be divided this vear be tweim Asheville and Wrights-, ville, the first and second regi ments going into camp at the latter place and the third and fourth at Ashevilie. The Milton Enterprise s.ivn that on Saturday last at a frolic near Hester's Store, Person county, some colored men be came engaged in a game of cards and seen after two of them.
