"jjnfwflntr Carolina Watchman. THURSDAY, DEC 15, 1387. 3 View$ on the Message. A3 BBPOBTP BY THE NEW YORK WORLD. Z. B. Vance 1,1 approve of every word of the message.- 2, I favor re ducing the tariff to the needed reve nueno more than the government needs. L. E, Latham 1, It meets with my hearty approval, with one exception. 2, How far would I be willing to go in the reduction of taxation ? I want to see it put on a revenue basis." I want to see it so fixed that the biggest revenue possible can be brought in I am in favor of discriminating in the interest of the prime necessities of life. F, M. Simmons 1, 1 am thoroughly in accord with the President's tariff idea, but I am also in favor of the entire abolition of the internal revenue system. W. H. H. Co ivies 1, 1 should rather not speak until I have time to examine the message more carefully. 2, 1 think it beet to have a moderate tariff bill at ibis time. I am for a tariff for reve nue and for raising the revenue by tariff only. A sweeping reduction of the tariff will have the effect of aiding those -sections that have already had the benefit of the protective tariff at the expense of all the manufacturers in the South. Thomas D. Johnston 1, I indorse President Cleveland's tariff views. 2, North Carolina wants the internal revenue taxes cut off root and branch. I represent a North Carolina district, and shall endeavor to get Congress to adopt this view of the question. After this is done I am in favor of reducing the tariff so that the le venue from it may meet the expenses of the government John Nichols- 1, No. (Does not approve of the messmrel. 2. I would abolish the entire internal revenue sys tem and revise the tariff entirely, but generally would retain the high tariff scale. On some articles I would raise the rates according to the requirements of the industry. I come to Congress on a high tariff, no internal revenue 1 i A tax platform, ana will come as near tariff as possible. A New N. C. Book, There is now in press a new book on the "Ores of North Carolina,'1 which is likely to prove of great value to the State. It will comprise all the impor tant information on the ores of North Carolina collected by the late Prof. W. C. Kerr, State Geologist, together with other valuable facts collected by Prof. George B. Hanna, of Charlotte, N. C, who has undertaken to prepare the work for publication. Prof. Hanna has taken advantage of all the resources of information available m order to produce a book at once reliable and comprehensive, beginning his labor at a I i. l r tr - 1 1 me puiuu at wumii rrui. jverr leii on, Prof. Hanna's connection with the IT B. Assav Office, at Charlotte for manv . . - j . j years, affording him large facilities for me collection ot tacts in regard to the mineral resources of the State, fit him eminently ior tne task in hand, and there can be no reason to doubt its sue cessful performance. Bonner as an Advertiser. The recent retirement of Mr. Robert Bonner, ope of the few men in this country who have achieved fane and acquired fortune in the publication of merary pap.;-,, nas reviveot. interest in the met!) oils by which he made the IMlger a success. A little less than fiftv venr3 i - - - - - 1 - j Bonner was an apprentice in the com- po-nng room oi fie tiartlord uourani, and for five years was an insignificant factor in tho daily composition of that then rather humble journal, the aver age circulation of which did not exceed 500 copies. He looked upward, how ever, and in 1855 he transformed the Merchants' Ledger, of New York, a comparatively unknown trade journal, into the Ledger, the family paper now so well known throughout the country. It is generally known that the great agent in Mr. Bonner s success was ju dicious advertising. Had it not been for the fact that he made the Ledger known through other papers' it would probably hare long struggled feebly to maintain its very existence, no matter what its merits were. Mr. Bonner was an extensive adver tiser. He was called an extravagant and even reckless patron of the press. He was neither extravagant nor reck less, however. He simply invested his money where experience and observa tion had taught him it ifould do the mcst good. He did not fritter away his slender means in advertising in Cheap John newspapers and band bills, but selected the very best mediums. In them he would secure space, no mat ter what the price was. He put about all the money he had, after fitting up his little office, into a column one time in the New York Herald, then just ac quiring a National reputation. It paid, and he increased the investment in arithmetical progression, and it was not long before the circulation of the Ledger was so large that it was its own v j i rt .i . advertisement, tie says he spent zo,- 000 in advertising the Ledger in other papers. That it paid him a hundred, even a thousand per cent., no one who knows of Robert Bonner's remarkable career can for a moment doubt Bonner's success as an advertiser is far from being an isloted instance. In every city and town in the land there are men who have made fortunes by investments in printers' ink.' It has come to be a recognized fact that ju dicious advertising always pays and that injudicious advertising rarely brings any adequate return. The best advertising is that done in legitimate established ptipers. Bonner was one of the pioneers in extensive advertising, ana there are now men who invest hundreds of thousands everv vear in reaching the people through the public press. Health of Rowan. The sanitary coudltion of the county is about as usual, Tho health of the county, so far as I have gathered, is and has been rather better than usual this, fall. .There docs not seem to have been any fatal epidemic, or epidemic of any kind, except prurigo in common schools, ioria ot tins disease prevailed among tho pupils last fall and winter, and I hear of some cases this fall. It was regarded as scabies in same neighborhoods, and thinned the school attendance. Four cases of whooping cough, seven of dipthe- ria and nine of typhoid fever are reported. There has been no epidemic among tho do mestic animals. There is no change in the condition of the public buildings since last report. I thought the commissioners had decided to introduce water from Sal isbury water works into the jail, but nothing has besn done in that direction. I still hope they will do so. Dr. J. J.

Drank men are crazy, and should no more be allowed liberty to go about in that condition than crazy men or wild beasts. They are more dangerous than mad dogs, as a greater number of lives are lost by them. A drunk man should be hastened to a prison as soon as dis covered, as a means of protecting the lire-, of innocent people. Ijown with the pistol and drunkenness too, say we; but how to do it is the Question. The Christian religion is the surest and best remedy for auch evils, and per haps the only one we shall ever find. i a 3 .- A strange rcident occurred in a New York church last Sunday.

'.'What kind of a woman have you for a neighbor? Does she abuse her children?" "No, indeed," replied Mrs. Davis. "She is one of the best mothers in existence. But you see, she believes in the old-fashioned styles of doctoring. When a child needs physic, she fills a spoon with some nauseous dose, lays the little victim flat on her lap, holds his nose till he is forced to nnen his mraith for breath when down goes the dreadful mess. Then comes the yells." No won der," said Mrs. Smith, "Why doesn't she use Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pel lets. They are effective without being harsh, and are as easy to take as sugar plums. I always give them to ray chil dren." "And so do I," said Mrs. Davis. lelo Pricos:ToUot Bets, Plain, X7-xto, Brigliton zx: 3NT Ten Pieces. $3.97. Ton p;n,0i riumMfi q oy m t-- .... . . shape, $7.40.
