GOLDSBORO, -N; CL; THURSDAY, JULY 20 1893. NO. 115 i t. .. I 1 3 "" ... QUIET WAYS ARE BEST. (Pittsburgh Commercial-Gazette.) What's the use of worrfing, Of hurrying, And scurrying, Everybody hunying, And breaking up their rest? When everyone is teaching us, Preaching and beseeching us. To settle down and enc the fuss, For quiet ways are best. The rain that nickles down in showers A bles.ing brings to thirsty. flow ere; Sweet fragrance irom each t rimming cup The gentle zephyrs gather up. There's ruin m the tempest's pa'b; There's ruin in the voice of wrath; And tht y alone are blest ' Who early learn to dominate Themselves, thiir violence aba'e, And prove by their serene esta'e That quiet ways are .best. Nothing's gained by worrying, . By hurrying . -And scurrying, . With fretting and with flurrying The temper's often lost; " And in pursuit cf some small prize We rush ahead ere not wise, And find the unwonted exercise A fearful pricu ?"a cost. Tis better tar to join the throng That do their duty right along, Reluctant they to raise a fuss Or make themselves ridiculous, Calm and serene in heart and nerve Their strength is always in reserve, And nobly stands eaeh test! And every day and all about. By scenes within and scenes without, We can discern with ne'er a doubt That quiet ways are best. Southern Factory Later. The continued growth of manu factures in th.j South reveals the fact that the material tor the pro rlnp.tion of skilled white labor is abundant in the native population.1 "NJWiubprA in the United estates is the labor more contented or morel competent than that now employed io the production of coaree cotton goods in the piedmont region. The success of each effort to make finer goods than had before been made in the South attest, the .fact that the Southern laborer is quick" to acquire both the knowledge and ekill to make progress in ti e art o.f cotton manufacturing.

SUNDA r SCHOOL CONVENTION Of the AlbemQrle Presbytery to Deliberations in this City Con cludedImpression and Work. The Sunday School Conyention of Albemarle Presbytery, which has been in session iu the "Presbyter ian-j church in th ii city since Tuesday night, culminated in its most inter esting sesbiou Wednesday night. Mr, A. M. McPhetters, of Ealeigh, spoke on the subjecs: '"How to teach," Ilia address was one of absorbing inters est, S.siu his own peculiar and strike ing manner, he tod his experience of many years of Sunday School teach ing, esp;cially of hi3 experience for the last J7 years in: the Sunday School of the Peniteutiary. Wt wish th-t all the people of our town could have heard that talk; it had all the beauty of truth, all the tenderness and pathos of love, and all the inspiration of hope. We feel confident that all who heard the speech will "carry pleas ant recollections of it to the grave. "Music in the Sonday School,' next claimed the attentiou of the convention. Mr. A. K. Pool and Mr. Brown, of Tarboro,spoke on this subject; and those, who ha e beard Mr, Pool, since he has been instruct ing in music iu this city, can well amagine how skillfully aud lovingly he handled his subject. Mr. Brown then in a few words told of the pracs tical working of music in u Sunday school in which bwas- connected. Eey. (J. G. Vardeil, of Newborn, is the president of the convention. Love for the work, knowledge of the necesdtu-s of the situation, fa:rness, iudgment, tact and enthu.-iasm, are qualifications he brings to tne work je js a model presiding officer and inspires every one with hope for the future of the work before the on vention. Mr. Theo. Ilyman is the Secrttary of the meeting. The Sunday School Convention of Albemarle Presbytery adjourned Friday morning, after a mos- suc cessful, interesting and enjoyable session. The holding of the conven vention here is a good omen for the future of this section, Ko more powerful influence for good has gone out from Goldsboroin its recent his tory than that which will go out from this meeting. Albemarle Presbytery rung from Granviljle county to'P-amliuo county on the on3 side, and from Granville to Currituck county on the other. Within this field there are thirteen or fourteen counties in which there is no Presbyterian church, andj in many portions no; hurph of any de nomination.

A New Sece:sion- The latest development in the silver situation is the threat of some of the miners to start a revolution to secede their States from the Union. The Eocky Mountain News of Denver has more than usually startling head lincse,in which it cal's upon men to "Rise and Proclaim your Loyalty to the Centennial State and Bimet" aliem.'" Or course such distempered talk ia wrong and useless. It really mates lie situation out there more fevtrish and worse. -t Hot temper and threats can do. no good- When the great silver war of modern times was ended in 1865 few peot pie in this country expected that sece.-sion talk wou!d n?xt be heard from the Iorthwefet States,, same of which sent regiments SlMith to beat secession ideas out ol our sec tion. A new 6ecepev'n movement on the part of poloradp and; o.ther sil ver States, eyen if they are abided by Jian as, wil only etrve as. a means of giving a f,ew demagogues an opportunity to bleel a suffoiing public.

With knowledge of Mr. Bjoth, I can nn derstand" the reasonableness of the remark.' A etoryhe used to teH with much gnsto was vt an inci dent which occurred in his early boyhood while he. was travelling withhis father. "Father," he said, "was planngv Richard one night in New : Orleans, John Green, who was well-known as an Irish comedian aud became a rival ot Tyrone Power was playing Henry YI TheT ecene,- between lather and the king went lioely up to the death of the- king. , Father bad spoken Ihe words: f 4 Die, prophet in thy speech!'

Poor Green immediately and spasmodically, rolled himseif ove; father stood with his sword en garde, the audience roared, and doggie held the stag ! ' The reverence which Booth felt and expressed for his father's mem ory and his loyalty to the defence of bis good fame against evil report appeared in every conversation in which the elder Booth was men -tioned. Once while rehearsing for Richard III., he laughingly refers red to the many amusing stories to'd of hie father's uncontrallabie mry during the duel 6cene in the last act of that play. uWhv," he said, ''I've toughtthe combat with him many a time and it was any thing but terrifying. The fact is, the story is one of the myths of the stage. 1 ve heard it located in a dczan different cities by eve- witneeBes."

The Sherman bill was passed as a party measure and voted for only by Re publicans; but instead of criticising the Republicans for the passage ot the measure, the truth should be admitted that the Sherman bill was accepted to escape the greater evils which then threatened us by tree silver coinage. Neither party is clean-handed in financial legislation, and each must accept its full share of responsibility for subm-'sjion to the silver specula-, tore. The Democratic South tum bled pell- mell into the silver maelstrom, and tbe Republican West sought to out Herod in tbe same stupendous folly. It was Harrison's certain veto that halted new silver tollies in the last Cougrese, but the record shows that the Republican Senate pasted free silver coinage and that the Demo" cratic House defeated it. Stop wrangling over the relative responsibility of.the two gret parties for our fearful silver mud dle. It is Fi'oiply afishmarket brawl between pot and kettle. Either party con Id have halted the 6tea'dy advance of tbe silver madness, but neither did it; and whether one party or the other gave most votes to suicidal lawj is of no moment when both gaye enough to saddle equal responsibility" upon them selves toi the wrong, A financial disturbance is a corns TOon misfortune.

The assertion was made at one time that the farmers of the country were, in favor . of the free silver policy. It was never ao, though there were many who were moment arily caught by the dtlusion. . Kwent events, however, have cre ated as great a revolution among the farmers as among any other class. ' The' Deer Creek Farmers' Club, of Hartford county, Md., has just adopted the following: "Risolved, That, in the opinion of the Deer Creek Farmers' Club, of Hartford county, Md , the existing depression in the business interests of our country, and especially the languishing condition of agricul ture, is almost entirely due to the present financial system of our Gov ernment, "Therefore, this club, without regard to the political affiliations of individual members, unanimously approves the recent letter ' of Presi dent Cleveland upon the financial question and urge3 upon him to convene Congress at once and to recommend to that body the im mediate repeal of the Sherman silver law and the enactment of such wise legislation as would tend to restore public confidence at home and abroad, in our monetary system, bringing therewith, as we believe it would, a restoration of prosperity to the entire country." That. 13 the voice of the solid con servative farming class of the coun try. It is sensible and to the point. The Charlottesville, Va. Progress has a lengthy and able phenomenon enclosed within its editorial columns handed .out, we might say, upon a ilver service.. That is, it has a readable editorial upon "silver." The newspaper readers of the coun try have been kicking against the oveiflow of useless silver as well as the overplus of newspaper articles on rilver, heuee, when such a read ab'e one a3 that in t,h($ Progress ap pears it is phenomenal. Its text is : "He that loveth silver shall hot be satisfied with silver." Ecc. 5-10. The Progress pointedly asks when India h&s iust demontized silver. "Shall we try to Gght the whole world with our theories and prac tices and make bad wors? r " -The fight against the silver lun acy suggests the fight made against the "protection of American labor" fraud. The phrase, '"protection of labor," caught at once 'and heldTa' temporary,, and large conBtinuency. Men wereeady to die for Jt. until they learned that it meant nothing. So the idea" of "free money" caught until the sledge-hammer logic of dis aster has battered sense into the av- erage neaay tnongti it has broken bones and smearod gore in its swipe. , . The Progress says neatly : "Gold is the standard guage rail way which encircles the eajth, and on whose track all E&en may ride everywhere udany where. Silvex is rth$. homely 'carry-all,' which, if of the right size, accomodates the family and is in constant use. To drop the m,3taphor we believe tha a wise tu,dy of the capacities of sil ver money will lead to the irresist able conclusion that any attempt to foro it to a parity with gold,unless the whole civilized world unites in the movement, 'will lead to nan cial trouble, a disarrangement of values, the locking up of money, and tha brunt of the ruin falling on the debtor class." 1 , .

NOT AN EASY BUSINESS. - Atlanta Constitution, When people look at the num erous volumes" written by Scott, Dickens and Thackeray, it strikes them that theses great writers did an enormous amount of work. The mechanical labor of produc ing so many books is in itself some thing remarkable, bnt a busy newspaper man writes more in a year than a successful novelist does in twenty years. An active reporter grinds out, at the lowest estimate, 1,500 words a day, 4200 in a month, 504,000 in a year, equivalent in quantity to the reading matter of nearly six 360-page novels. Some reporters have been at work from twenty to forty years. At tne very low average we have givsna busy journalist would write in tenyears 5,040,000 wordsj in twenty years lUjUaUjUUu words; in tnirty years, 15,120,000 wordp or an 'amount of matter equivalent to 224 novels. of 300 pages each, the work of any fifty industrious novelists. It is very evident from these figures that newspaper writing re presents nara worn, nut let us go a little further with these statistics. In ordar to write twenty - words man s fingers travel over the space of a foot, with two or three distinct movements in the formation each letter. At this rate it will Of be seen that, as there are 5,2S0 feet in a mile, a newspaper man in forty years mafcea ms, penciai trave about 113 miles with a vertical and latteral motion. xms wcrK is aside trom-tne re porter's time and., labor spent in getting his facte, but even this supeificial calculation should make it plain that 1 he mechanical or physical labor ot writing is much greater than the .public generally supposes, we nave bad in ou mind a writer who gets up only 1 1 .... column a aay, out mere are -men who. average two or three columns daily lo figure out the product and' the labor of such toilers would t stagger oeiiei ana would cause many young men to give up their journalistic aspirations.
