Whit sett before the Colored Teachers Institute, at the Messecger Opera House m this city, Friday afternoon. It was one of the finest educational talks it has ever been our priyilege to listen tc; in excellent taste and spirit, full of wholesome truths for the colored race,, to cou and calculated to be of abiding benefit to the large number of colored teachers who heard it. The trend of the times is in thedireciiou of condensed pro duction end enlarged consump tion, The machine-made gocds crowd out the band-made goods because they are cheaper and the cheaper they are the more people will use them, thus in creasing the demand and com pelling the enlargement of the factories and mills. There is an old adage that revolutions never go backwards. For the same rea son the tide of industrial evolu tion cannot be stemmed. All that can ba done and all that should be done is to check its aggress ive force wherever it becomes detrimental to any class and wherever it is used for the en richment of the few and the im poverishment of the many, DEATH OF W.

The luscious water melon Has "arriv" upon the scene, And the "Coon" is gay and happy Appetite and razor keen. - But I own a sort of kinship To the darkey, in this trait, For I like the water melon, And the patch, with an open gate. J ust take an old time "rattle snake" Or a Bogue Sound "Cuban Sweet," If your stomach is not paralized, You will own they are hard to beat When you have that "tired feei ng," , Sort o' hungry, hot and dry There is nothing that excels them, Excepting huckleberry pie. They are cooling to your "in nards" When your system's out of gear, And the "Coon" would live forever If they lasted all the year. Just give him a water melon And he'll make a good square meal. And he is going to get that melon. If he has the thing to steal. Goldsboro, N. C, July li, '99. DEATH OF MRS. SELLERS Daily ArU3 of Friday, July 14.

New York, July 14 Nearly complete returns to the Treasury Department show 311,878 immi grants for the year ending June 30,against 229,229 for thetwelv month previous. This increase of 82,579, which may become a little larsrer with revised return?, is over 36 per cent. . It should ba noted,"however, tha. the immigration for the pre year had been the small est for nearly two decades. We should have to go back to 1879 to find a smaller. Besides, great fluctatious from year to year are the rule rather than the excep tion in immigration. The number of arrivals in 1880, for example, 457,257, was over ' two and a half times greater than that of the year befora. but was in turn out done by the 669.431 of the year after aod the 788,982 of 1882, the greatest in cur history. The year 1883 showed a drop to 603, 322, the next year to 518,592, the the next to 365,346 and the next to 334,203. In 1887 came a rally to 490,109, followed by 455.302 and by 560,319. In 1892 there was another great record, 623,- 084, and then saccessive drops to 502, 917, to 314,467 and to 279,- 948. In 1896 there was a rally to 343,267, succeeded, however, by drops to 530,835 and to last year's 229.229, while now the tide is turning again. There is good reasoD, too, to expect a continuance of the in crease. Of the last year's gains about half were in the two fiaal months, namely, 21,600 for May and 20,676 for June. Wa may therefore presume the gaiu will go on. immigration is governed much by current conditions in the countries from which the aigrants come and by those tbey expect to find . here. As early as last summer it became evident thai the war which had begun during the previous fiscal year would be of short duration, and would end in triumph for us. By autumn there were signs of a general return of prosperity to the country, and this spring that prosperity was assured and was made known .in other coun tries as well as ours, The question that employment can be looked for here in farm ing or in the mechanical indus tries if, of course, a serious one for those who want to try their fortunes in the New World. Just now the answer to that question is favorable, and we may iock for flood tide in immigration for some time to come. I feel as if I should fly.to pieces." How often those words are on a woman's lips. They express to the uttermost the nerve racked condition of the body, which makes life a daily martrydotn. If this condition had come suddenly it would have been unbearable. But the transition was grad ual. A little more strain each day on the nerv es. A little more ?- each day of t'ae -vitality. Any woman would be glad to be rid of such a condition. Every woman tries to be rid of it. Thousands c such women have feen cured by Dr. Pierce's treatment with his "Favorite Prescription" when local doctors had entirely failed to cure. Sick women suffering from unpleasant drains, irregularities, bearing down pains, inflammation and ulceration are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., by letter free of charge. Every letter is guarded as a sacred confidence. All let ters are promptly answered and mailed in private envelopes without printing of any kind upon them. " Favorite Prescription " is in the full est sense a temperance medicine, con taining neither alcohol nor opium or other narcotic in any form. Accept no substitute. Mrs. Rena Hensel, of Massillon, Stark Co., Ohio, writes: " I had been troubled with chronic constipation and female weakness and doctored with different physicians, none of whom seemed to help me. I saw one of your advertisements, and I thought I would try your medicines. I did so and with good results. Took one bottle of Dr.-Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and two of his ' Golden Medical Discovery,' and I can say I am cured of ray troubles, thanks to Dr. Pierce and his medicines. They do a world of good to those who give them a good trial." ; Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are a per fect cure for constipation. Mark Twain has gone to take the Swedish cure.

E Robinson & Bro. and Goldsboro Drug Co. in Goldsboro and J. II. Smith Mt. Olive IT. in) v COTTON IS WORTH MOKE. How the Farmer is Benefited by the Koundlap Bale. The Atlanta Constitution, which recently published an elaborate re port on the Eoundlip bale of the American uotton uompanv. m discussing toe value oi the new system of cotton handling, says: It i? quite clear that, in order to raise the price which should go to the farmer for his cotton, the com mercial expenses in handling it must be reduced. Under present conditions, the amount of money required to han dle the crop, from the gin to the factory p'atform, ihas grown out of all proportion, so that its com mercial handling consumed the profit which should have gone to the grower. Viewtd from this etirdpoint, therefore, every move ment which de'ivers the farmer's cotton with Ieatt expense to the manufacturer must be regarded as of the widest public interest. The new methods of round bal ing are on mis line, aomg away with much of the clumsiness and extravagance of the old system and substituting one which cm make of every cotton gin a com press as well. The claims of the round bale advocates show that wo have entered upon an era of invention which means much to the farmer, and much thereft r; to the country. - THE MANACLES Salvors oi the Paris Tell oi a Strong, Mysterious Current. London, July 14. Mr. Ais- batt, chief of the Paris salvors, says that after the steamer left Lowlands Point she and the tugs towing her drifted to within 400 yards of one of the Manacle rocks when they ought to have been nearly a mile to the Southward. There was a Northerly wind blow ing and the tide was ebbing, which shcu'.d have had a tendency to carry vessels away from the rocke. He attributes the drift of the Paris to soma strong current thereabouts, which is as yet un explained and not understood. He cites as confirmation, of "this theory that since the salving of the Paris bpgn a number of ships were seen making for the Manacles. On July 10, during a fog, a large steamer was seen com ing directly toward where" the Paris was lying, and the salvage boats had to blow their sirens loudly to warn her off. Mr. Aisbett ridicules the idea that magnetic ore ashore near the-j Manacles affects ships' compasses. The removal of ih$ Paris from the harbor mouth at Falmouth to the tidal basin was a difficult and risky job, which occupied nearly an hour. There was one mishap during the operation. The cur rent swung the stern of the steamer against a pier, on which were a number of spectators. The pier swayed badly, alarming the spectators, who fled Bhoreward rapidly. ' The Paris is now safely anchor ed. Her colossal proportions dwarf everything in the harbor. She is leaking . badly and her pumps are kept going constantly. The repairs necessary to enable her to "reach Southampton or the Clyde will occupy more than a fortnight. Capt. Watkins, who commanded the steamer when she stranded, and whose cert:flcate as a master has been revoked for two years by the American au thorities for running his vessel aground, is still aboard the vessel.

Not the ghosts ,of up-to-date spiritualism and psychological research, but genuise, old-f ashione d "bant" ghosts such as in the bitter diys of Englapd and of this republic perambula'ed in - ancient houses and pre-empted for their manifes tations the hour when grave a-di yawn. A London letter s tys tlat the telling of ghost stories is tbe "creza" of the ".eiily" season; that ghost literature is becoming the vogue, and that moreover some ghosts tbat have been laid for years have resurrect d tbems Ives, and repossessed themselves of their eld stumping or, ratber, weshoud eay, gliding-grounds. As indicated above by the terms "craze" and "silly," there is a disposition in certain quarters to ridicule, belit'le, and, if possible, kill this revival of o!den-Um" ghostology. "We however, bad the revival with delight. To us it id i sign of wholesome reaction, ful of f romise of exertirig salutary influence in several directions. If we must have ghost?, by all means let us haye the ghosts of our grandmothers. No we don't mean that. We mean the ghosts our grandmothers believed in As far as we kiow, ghosts of that brand never did any one any harm. Moreover, they werp, as a rulf, eminently respectable and dignified. There were a few de generates among mem, tnat oc casionly transgressed the laws of the ghost et'quette of their period by moaning and gently rattling chains and earring their heads around under their arms, but these were tho exceptions that proved the rule. For the far greater part the cult con tented itself with undulating along; passing through stone walls at points whore there were no aperture?, and awaking sleep- ers in "flaunted room?, by rub bing their noses with icy hands, Uertaimy tney am not cut up such didoes as playing on barj s and guitars, ringing dinner bells amputating their hands and throwing them into the air.scril - bling their names on slates, &i Furthermore, tbe assistance of a lot of paraphernalia, of medium-, and of ''occult sciences" was not necessary to raise them They just raised themselves when lithe.. and weather were propitious.

In shor the ancient ghost was not a fakir, and was seldom, it ever, vicious. We repeat, therefor , tl at we welcome the. revival that has been started in Lmd-jn and hope that It will so encourage the old er,' Simon-pure, uncommercial, and unscientific ghosts tbat they will ' Rise by myriads From the darkness Of their prisons low and lone,', reassert their sway, and utterly annihilate their modern successs ors.

Argus The comparatively few Sunday School workers of Brosden town snip, who met in convention at Mt. Olive, July 12th, 1899, en joyed a rare intellectual and spirit ual uplift. There is ro doubt but tbat tho Sunday School cause re ceived new impetus and Chtisf KinfJom will be strengthened be. cause of more efneient work dur ing the coming year.

Price in his re sponse said, "God uses litt'e chil dren as sunbeams to speak to these who are older. The obi act of this meeting is to get closer to God. Mr. H. B. Parker, Jr., said, "The purpo8e of tha Sunday Schcol is to train the children, thus making good citizen?.". He urged that special exercises with the children should be held often as they serve to interest both old and young. Rev. J.' T. Bagwell very ably trca'ed the subject, "Value and Object of Sunday Sehoe 1 Organic za'.ior." He spoke first tf tbe ad vantage of organization lo tbe Sunday School i'self, s.cond: ad vantage t the c in numty. He mentioned brainy moot y, work, prayer and faitb as the requisites of every Sun lay School. - Mr. H. B. P rker,-Jr.,in his ad diess reviewed the history or sev eral nations, thus proving that, Christian Education is the hope of a Nation. In the afternoon the subject, "The Honor and Opportun;ty of the Supt's Office," and "What Re sults Should a Teacher Expect Frjm His Work," were discussed by M s rs. O. E. Franklin, C. B Price and others, showing that the upf riatendent should be triable, attentive to all members of tie school, dilligent in tho study of the lesson, and ever on the alert for new scholars, with tbe falva tion of si uls as the one oHect of Sunday Sc'aool work. " Mr. R. A. Parker ljd in -the discuss; o a on the "Strong and tbe Sunday Wt ak Points in Schotl." - It was shown tlat a school is 6trong when church mem ber s are intarest d; when officers are prompt and prayerful; and when tbe schoi 1 is furnihed with Bibh s and mus:c. Mr. G. Hood, in discussing the subj ict, Mother and tbe S.S said: i'The mother' imparts ber own spirit to tnat or ner cnuareo. hence pirenls are responsible for tbe deeds of their children.'' Mrs. W. R. HoKowell gave aD interesting talk on 'Why Tem perance Should be Taught in the S. S." Sha showed that earliest impressions are surest to last and urged the importance of teaching the child the nature and influence of alcohol while the mind is p'acid. Splendid music was furnished by .h3 young people of Mount O.ive, Oa -motion the same officers were reelected. A motion made by Rev, Bag well, relative to a convention badge was carried and the mat ter was left in the hands of the executive committee. " W. A. Jones, Chairman. That Throbbing Headache.
