May you live a thousan' years To sort o' keep things lively in this vale of human tears ; An' may I live a thousan' too a thou san' less a day, For I shouldn't like to be on earth to hear you'd passed away." Poor Eugene Field! When he penned those lines to the patri arch of the New York Sun, down in that ever singing heart of his, he had no thought but that he would survive the veteran editor, bent with his more than three score years and ten. But Field is dead, while Dana lives. The pen that crooned babes to sleep and sang men into better living is stilled; the quill that is ever dipped in gall moves on. The sunshine is gone; the shadow remains. There are a great many men in the newspaper harness in Chicago, who would be more greatly missed among members of the guild than 'Gene Field. Field was never during his life in the western metropolis a hab itue of the Chicago newspaper men's bohemia. White Chapel and Billy Boyles knew him uot. He was not a familiar figure at any of the places where news paper men are wont to congre gate in the city by the lake. He was scarcely known among the fellows in the office where he worked. He lived without the atmosphere of the newspaper shops and within an atmosphere of love which he created iu his home. With the rank and file of Chicago newspaper men, the death of Opie Ketd would see more of a personal loss than that of 'Gene Field. But 'Gene Field had many warm frieils in the newspaper fold. The few attachments he formed were devoted ones, and among the older newspaper writers in Chicago sorrow at his death will be deeply felt 'Gene Field differed from 1 he "wild crowd of fellows together with whom he made Western journalism at onetime the won der of this land. He was the one well balanced, one well poised individual among a lot of brilliant roisters. With ordinary acquaintances Eugene Field was indifference personified. Very few people ever met him casually and liked him. For a man to meet Field in person after learning to love the author through his works, "was almost invariably a stinging disappointment. On euch occa sions one inevitably wondered that such a man, with the appear ance and manners of a cold and calculating man of business, could have written these lines: The little toy dog is covered with dust, But sturdy ana staunch he stands; And the little toy soldier is red With rust, And his musket moulds in his hands. Time was when the little toy dog was new And the soldier was passing fair, And that was the time when our little Boy Blue Kissed them and put them there. "Now don't you go till I come," he said, "And don't you make any noise!" So toddling off to his trund'e-bed He dreampt of the pretty toys. And as he was dreaming an angel song Awakened our little Boy Blue Oh, the years are many, the years are long, But the little toy friends are true. Ay, faithful to little Boy Blue they stand, Each in the same old place, Awaiting the touch of a little hand, The smile of a little face. And they wonder, as waiting these long years through, In the dust of that little chair, Wha has become of our little Boy Blue, Since he kissed them and put them there. And they wondered how this man, with the cold face and the sharp, restless eye could have written the lullabies of a nation and sang songs of wondrous love. Field didn't carry his heart in his sleeve, but it was there in that bosom of his warm and full of love, but only those who knew him best knew how it beat all the time in keeo'ng with the bounteous songs he sang. Field's home life was what he loved best at.d there he found his inspiration. Mart Hustle Needed. The rivalry now being deve loped between Chicago and New York one representing the West and the other the East as to which shall hold the dominat ing position in the trade and fi nancial interests of the bouth, can be viewed by the people of this section with some degree of satisfaction. There was a time when the South had a hard fight to enlist the interests of either the East or the West in its busi ness affairs, but that has now passed. The whole country now realizes that the South is to be the theatre of the greatest activ ity and progress, and that its development offers a rich field for the merchant, the manufac turer and the capitalist of other sections. But this rivalry may well cause the South lo study the situation more carefully than it has done. If other sections see such great opportunities for business and investment, why should not the South itself take hold of its own development more vigorously than ever? There are hundreds of towns in this section which could easily start some .new en terprise and take on new life if their people wou'd get together and do a little hustling, instead of waiting, Micawber-like, for something to turn up in fie shape of an outside capitalist ready to do for them what, they will not do for themselves. There are towns of 1,500 to 2,000 popu lation all over the cotton belt begging somebody to come and build them a cotton mill, when they could easily build a mill and own it if they would ouly make up their mind to do it. Unless such places wake up they will forever remain as dull and stag nant as they are now. During the next ten years there will be a marvellous change throughout the South, but there will be many dead towns, just as there are to-day many dead ones in New England and Pennsyl vania Id is by no means true that natural adyantages can be safely counted upon to build up a town. Many dead towns have greater natural advantages than their nearest active, progressive city. One had energy, push, hustle, and did not depend upon what nature had done for it. and the result is prosperity; the other trusted to natural advant ages and is too dead ever to be revived. Its opportunity has forever passed. Its neighbor has filled the place, and there is no room there for another city. The South must, as a whole, do what a few progressive men and a few progressive towns and cities are doing, and then there will be a more active develop ment than we have yet dreamed of. Baltimore Manufacturers' Record. Allen G. Thurman. Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 8. Last Friday ex Senator Allen G. Thurman fell from a sofa in his library and suffered injury to bis left hip, which was very painful, but his physician found no bones broken and though he suffered severely on Saturday he was better on Sunday and it was ue lieved that his strong constitu tion would enable him to stand the shock notwithstanding his great age. On Tuesday he was so much better that he wished to go to the polls to vote, but at the advice of his physician he did not do so. Wednesday he was worse and yesterday he fell into a stupor, from which it is alto gether likely that he will not re cover. His son, AUen W. Thur man, said to-day at noon that there was little ground to hope that he may live more than a few days, and his death may occur at any time. Allen Granberry Thurman was born in Lynchburg, Va., Nov. 13th, 1813. Washington News. Washington, Nov. 8-Comman- der Richard Bush, superinten dend of naval war records, re commended in his annual report made public to-day that these lection of original manuscript for the recordsj of the Union and confederate navies be mad by a board to be composed of one na val and two civilian members. The second volume of the re cords will soon be issued. There is enough original manuscript on hand to make between twenty and thirty volumes. The reports or tne union commanders are full and complete, and Comman der Bush regrets that the Con.- federate records are not equally so. This is due to the great diffi culty in collecting them and also to the fact that tLe archives of the Confederate Navy Departs ment were burned at the close of the war. A special agent of the Government, however, r has brought to light many duplicates of these destroyed papers ob tained from participants in the Confederate cause. Secretary Carlisle will lo-mor row hear ex-Senator Manderson, of Nebraska, in opposition to sending to the Court of Claims the Oxnard Beet Sugar Company case, involving tne constitution ality of the bounty lawv and de cided by Comptroller Bowler ad versely to the claimants. All the members of the Cabi net were present at the regular semi-weekly meeting to-day The President drove in early from Woodley and managed to transact some business before the Cabinet assembled at 11 o'clock. The Cabinet remained in conference until after 2 p. m., , an unusually long session, . LATE FOREIGN NEWS. Unbearable Situation of Affairs at tlie Turkish Capital. London, November 8. The Admiralty have decided to in crease the strength of the Brit ish Mediterranean squadron by the addition to the iieet of six ships. A dispatch from Constanti nople to the Times says that, the entire body of foreign diplomats accredited to" the Turkish capi tal regard the present condition of things as unbearable. The sole policy of the Sultan in the circumstances is that of playing off the Powers against one an-- other, a policy which he has pursued in many previous emer gencies with success, but upon this occasion he is completely nonplussed by the unanimity of the representatives of the Pow ers in pressing their demands. The correspondent of the Times does not expect that there will be a fanatical outbreak against the Christians. The danger, he thinks, lies in quite another direction. Berlin, November 8. A dis patch from Constantinople says that the aim of the conspirators against the Sultan is to remove Abdul Hamid and proclaim his brother, Prince Mohamed Re shad, Sultan in his stead. Glasgow, November 8. The strike of engineers and others in the Clyde ship yards is spread ing, and will embrace all of the fitters and engineers now work- iug. It is possible, also, that the dispute between the employ ers and employes may extend to the Thames, Tyne and Wear ship yards. Berlin, Nov. 8 The political police made a seizure this morns ing of the entire edition of the newspaper Der Socialist. The seizure was made before the pa per was issued to the public, and was made upon the supposition that the publication contained a seditious article. The editor of the periodical Deutscher Michel has been pros ecuted for the publication of an article insulting to the ex-Em press Frederick.. S. C. Conveution. Columbia, November 8. The Convention has been engaged all day to-day in a lively dispensary debate, the issue being Mr. Pat- ton's proposition to prevent the issuing of injunctions by judges to prevent tne commission of a crime. l he Dispensary law ner- mits a judge upon affidavit to put a man under a perpetual injuncs tions not to sell liciuor. The matter was most exnaustively argued throughout, all the"heavy vy weights" of the Convention taking a hand. Mr. Geo. 1). Till man scathingly recounted the deds done under this provision of the Dispensary law. Senator Tillman defended the Dispensary law in his most monounced style. The advocates of Mr, Pat- ton s measure argued for the preservation of the established principle of the right of trial by jury for a crime. The measure was finally killed by a vote of 37 to 95. At the night session the suf frage articlewasa called up for a third reading. A f ter several in significant amendments had been made, Senator Tillman offered this amendment to Section 1: "Each of the two political par ties casting the highest number of votes at the preceding elec tion shall have representation on the board of managers of elec tion, at each polling precinct, and on the board of county can vassers in each county." As soon as he put this in he caueu. me previous Question on the whole article. Tnis was the measure that had been stricken out before, after a big fight Tillman made the most remark able speech he ever made in his life, but a good many of his po litical friends jumped on him and despite a powerful speech ne made later on, the Conven tion refused to do what he asked by a vote of 51 to 77. Then the whole article was finally adopted and sent beyond the Convention's reach by a vote of 78 to 41: Albany, N. Y., Nov, 8. James C. Matthews (colored), formerly Recorder of Deeds at Washing ton, D. C, under President Cleveland's first, administration, has been elected Judge- of the Recorder's Court of this city, which office carries with it pow ers of Supreme Court Judge.

On in Which; Goldsbi ro Blight Excel- The movement of population Southward is assuming very large proportions. Many tracts of land are being purchased for colonization purposes, and hun dreds, eyen thousands of West ern and Northern farmers are al ready settling in the South. These are but the advance guards of a flow of population which promises to be as great as that which swept over the North west fifteen or twenty years ago. The influence upon Southern advancement, in fact upon the entire country, can scarcely be appreciated now. It means a closer union, a bet ter acquaintance, a more uniform development, a better and more even distribution of wealth be tween the sections, and the building up of the whole coun try. For the South it means a won derful impetus and a great in crease in wealth and population. lhe most enterprisiuc- and progressive counties and towns of the South will secure the Bcairaii ueuetlLS lTOm LillS new order of things. What are we doinar to turn the tide to our locality? fcshall we get together and do something or remain apart and go backward? Winston Sentinel: Mrs. Corn, Mary Morris, of Reidsville, was united in marriage on Tuesday to Mr. Charles Woorlhi prominent banker of Mount Mor- -VT r r t-i us, in. i. ine maTiage was private and was onlv attended bv near friends of the family. The happy pair boarded tne South ern vestibule for an extended trip. Greenville Reflector: Wed nesday night J. M., Bass, a to bacco curer who boards at W. S. Legget's on Dickerson avenue, was robbed ol d4z. Bass says upon retiring he placed the money under his pillow, and during the night some one en tered the room through a win dow and took it. Suspicion rests upon another boarder at the same house who has since disappeared and who was noticed to be spend ing money rather freely. Little Dora Elks, the eight year old daughter of Mr. Louis B. Elks, of Chicod township, beg ged her father to give her a crop of tobacco to grow. He let her have 800 hills, just one seventh of an acre. Dora did all the set ting and worming and helped in all the work possible that her little hands could do, and a few days ago sole, her crop at the warehouse. After deducting all expenses for fertilizing, grading etc., she received $21.35. Little Dora is a "chip from the old block." Her father is one of the very best farmers in the county, and say that on a two-horse crop in corn, cotton, tobacco and sweet potatoes this year, he will make above $1,000 net. Mr. Elks cultivates only a small farm but attends to it and makes a full crop of everything. According to the New York Tribune, "the great charm of the Queen of Madagascar is said to be her unconventionally. She chews tobacco, drinks cham pagne, uses palm oil on her hair, wears $5,000 Worth cdstumes, and at the same time goes bare footed". It is now settled that the Re publicans will gain the absolute control of the United States Sen ate at the close of the present Congress. They will not have a clear majority until 1897, but will then have a'Jsafe majority of positive Republicans with every prospect- of holding the con trol or the oenate lor some years to come. N. C.
