The condition of the American wages class nearly a century ago is full of in struction. In the large cities, unskill ed workmen were hired by the day, bought their own food and found their own hnlgings. But in the country, on 1 he taruis or wherever a hand was employed on some public work they were ttd and lodged by the employer, and given a few dollars a mouth. On the Pennsylvania canals the diggers ate the coarsest diet, were housed in the rudest sheds, and paid $0 a month troin May to November, and $5 n mouth from November to May. Hod earners and mortar mixers, diggnrs and cnopper, who iroin 1733 to 1800 la boreu 011 the public buddings aud cut the streets and avenues of Washington received 70 a ye..r, or, if they wished, $00 for all the work they could per tonn from March 1 to Decernler 20. The hours of work were invariably troin sunrise to sunset. Wages at Albany aud New York were 3., or, as money then went, 40 cents a day; at Lancaster, $8 to $10 a month; else where in Pennsylvania' workmen were content with SG in summer and $5 in winter. At Baltimore men were glad to be hired at 18d. a day. None by the month asked more than SO. At Fred ericksburg the price of labor was from So to $7. In Virginia white men em ployed by the year were given 0 currency; slaves, when hired, were clothed, and their masters paid 1 a month. A pound, Virginia money, was, in Federal money, $3 33. The average rate of wages all over the country was 05 a year, with food and perhaps lodging. Out of this small sum the workiuin had, with his wife's help, to m aintain his family. ' Th.9 Credit System. ! The Nebraska Supreme Court has decided th it a mortgtge on a growing crop cannot operate as a charge on corn in the crib, even if proved to be product of the mortgaged crop. ; The decision rests on a sound and healthy basis, which rejects the idea ot predicating something on no thing, establishing a debt upon an in visible and uncreated consideration, that is possibly to be, but. is not in ex istence, and is outside of sound reason and good judgment. The system of predicating the pay ment of money borrowed, upon the uncertain outcome of labor to be done and crops to be raised, dependent upon the uncertainties of seasons and favor able weather, or the successful control of that labor, has been the most dam aging element in retarding the agricul tural growth of the South as well as the demoralization of its laboring pop ulation, establishing a false and ruin ous credit system, which is always de- trimeutal to the laborer. aicnez Democrat. The best way tb attract and to hold th attention is never to weary an au dience, but to always to leave off with something still unsaid. It is a mistake to tell all that one knows in a first ef fort, for during an ordinary life time thpn will lie amole oooortnuities to uslTall the information any one may possess. Amateuri who aspire to the dignity of professionals, should culti vate terseness and simplicity us the highest conception of the rhetoricians art; having once expressed an idea, should never repeat it; should avoid the tne quagmire or womy ejaoorauons j and above all else, when they have fiuished their subject . they." 'should not forgot o stop. Orpha n$; -Fritnd. . Trusts Compared to Dams. Baltimore Sao. ' ? The Rev. E. O. Eldridge, past or of Exeter Street Methodist Episcopal Church, also preached in the morning on "The Flood and its Lessons." He said: "The first lesson is man's weak ness, God s greatness. Man made the dam God nin e nature; and it was one of nature's foreei that of ansel fisli utility as compared with selfish pleasure eeking. The true end of man w service and not pleasure. s:nd while happines always follous in the wake of service, when sought us an end in itself it is always a failure. Who built that dam and what the motives? A few wealthy men in the city of Pittsburg, and for the purpose of pleasure only, and notwithstanding the fact that vigorous protests from the citizens of Johnstown and vicinity were entered at the time the work was projected. We are told so careless was the manner of the dam's eonstrnctiim - 1 thH' th? mMy precautions for such H structure were neglected. Tlius was constructed the largest reservoir in the world, two hundred feet and over above the villages and cities of 50,000 people; many of whom were constant ly in dread of its power. We do not propose to place the responsibility, but wilt say that if the facts have been carefully reported, culpable and crimi nal neglect has been indulged in. It is a fair sample of the sel.fish, pleasure seeking spirit that is abroad to-day. Numerous trusts and syndicates, like huge dams, are concentrating millions of money for the enrichment arid pleasure of the few at the expense of the many. It lays its covetous hand upon all the smaller firms, compels them to enter or forcibly destroys, aud when it has the commodity under its control inflicts upon a helpless com- mun.ty the anomallvof want and often starvation in the midsjb of plenty." The indications point to a railroad, and we have put our engine on the track. Our people should bear in mind that an election will be held in this county August 15th next to determine whether or not Stanly will subscribe $100,000 to the building of a railroad through the county, beginning, at Sal isbury and going in the direction of Wudesboro a scheme by the Yadkin Railroad Company. We don't know much about the project, but it appears hopeful, as much so perhaps 11s any scheme of recent years. One thing we do know, this route is the most natural, the shortest and cheapest that can be built in the county, and our citizens should stand not only re.tdy but anx ious to vote the subscription required. We have a good county, rich in both mineral and timber, but we can never realize our wealth, nor feel our im portance until we possess railroad facili ties; therefore it behooves us as a peo ple to work for this end. We cannot get a railroad that will pass every man's door, so patriotism should rise above self and every mm labor and vote for the common good. Stanly Obser ver. A Wronsr Word Saves a Life. Strange results have before now been brought about through accidents in writing, but it is questionable whether the anecdotes have recorded anything more curious than the saving of a man's life through a slip of the pen. Such a thing has just occurred in Si lesia. A wheelwright named Kontuy was indicted at the Oppeln Assizes for the murder of his wife in a fit of jeal ousy. The jury found him guilty by seven votes to five amd sentence of death was passed in the usual form. When, however, the convict's advocate came to examiue the record of the verdict as written down by the fore man of the jurv. he found that by a slip the word "studen" had been acci- .....i. .I 1 p dentally substituted in me piace 01 stimmen, by wnicn it appearea inai the murderer had been found guilty by "seven hours," instead of "seven votes." Of course an appeal was im mediately taken, and the Imperial Court of Cassation, being unable to make sense of the record, ordered a new trial. The second jury was more tender-hearted than the first, and Kon tuy was only found guilty of man slaughter, the penalty for which is twelve years penal servitude. of. James Gazette.

Manufacturers Eecordi Haly Lani B&ilway Application, has been made by Jos. Elias. formerly, government enginere of the Lebanon, for a concession for a railway from r:Haifa, on the Mediter ranean, about -midway between Tyre and Caesarea, by way 6f Lake Galilee, over the river Jordan to Damascus. Authority for the navigation of the lake and priority of right for the exten sion of a line over any other applicant for three years is asked for. The line is to follow the river Kifhon for six milesrgoing within three and three quarter Smiles of Nazareth, and then ascending the valley to the watersheds of the Jordan. The line will proceed along the northwest of the lake close to the plain of Genesaret, up the Jor dan, crossing it about two miles below Merim. ; From that point the line turns toward the east to Damascus, a dis tance of one hundred miles from the coast. A branch line will go to Nao va, the capitol of Hauren, with an option to continue on to Bosra, the ancient capitol of Ba-han. The prac:ical part of Mr. Elias ap plication is interesting. He estimates the population to be served at 500,000, or about 5,000 to the mile. Damascus has about 200,000 inhabitants and there are ten towns with from 1,000 to 10.000 inhabitants and about 5,040 villa. Although the district is very fertile, only one-sixth of the ara ble land is under cultivation There is an abundance of streams, however, so that the country could be easily irriga ted. Gen. Lee and Stimulants. Whatever speaks the thought or bears the sanction of Robert E. Lee is regarded the world over as being worth remembering. We give below what he thought and said about stim ulants. Mrs. Margaret J. Preston gives it in the June Century: . "He had the gentlest way possible of giving counsel and administering rebuke. I remember hearing him say, in a presence where such testimo ny was worth more than a dozen tem perance lectures: "Men need no stim ulant; it is something, 1 am persuaded, that they can do without. When I went into the field, at the beginning of the war, a good lady friend of mine gave me two sealed bottles of very su perb French brandy. I carried them with me through the entire campaign: aud when 1 met my friend again, after all was over, t gave her back both bot tles of brand)', with the seals unbrok en. It may have been some comfort to me to know that I had them in case of sudden emergency, but the moment never came when I needed to use them" On ths Ele of an Explosion. A doctor happened to be telling his family of an amusing scene he had witnessed at a patient's house during the day. "Mr. Brown," said the doc tor, "was not seriously ill, but his wife really made matters worse and herself supremely ridiculous by rushing in and out like a wet hen." The doctor's sonv Bob, a very bright boy of six, was present when his father said this, and treasured his words. A day or two afterwards Mrs. Brown called on the doctor's familv. and when Bob came into the room he sat down 011 a stool and fixed his eves on the visitor. By and by he asked very seriously, "Mrs. Brown do vou know any thing about a .vet lien ?" Of course she replied in the negative, and Bob's face assumed a very puzzled expression. After a brief nause horrible to his sisters Bob said: N"Well, it seems to me 3-011 ought to." Pittsburg Dispatch. Salutary Punishment The prisoners in the Shelby j til who are working on the streets have a rule among themselves that whoever curses or attempts to fight on the streets shall be punished. On Tuesday Emanuel Miller-broke the rules: on his return to jail he was given ten blows with a shingle by bacon us Lee, who wa ap pointed executioner. The two new prisoners who had just been put in jail for sterrling, were punished with fifteen blows each. Johnson Ithyne, who acted as judge, told the new "prisoners that if they had been put in jail for fighting or selling liquor, they would not have been punished, but as they had been guilty of stealing they must receive a good beating. The men bore their punishment with bad grace. Shelly Neu Era.

A ma chine of this character has been at . work for several months at the can factory in May wood, near Chicago. It is used for making sheet solder, six or eight inches wide, and 15-1000 of an inch thick, which it produces at the rate of 400 feet a minute. The app.1r.1tus consists of hollow rolls with cold water running.between them, The water is introduced through the axles, and the rolls are of sufficient size to at once change the jet of melt ed metal into solid fprm as fast as it is fed. The powerful compression is ex erted by rolls upon the molten-metal in forcing it between the two surfaces, and at the same time changing it to a solid body, tends to give the! sheet an even an nighly finishe surface. The inventors of the machine believe that the principle could be successfully. ap plied to the rolling of Bessemer j steel... as well as to softer metals. Mr. 0. W. Potter and other officers ot thaNorth Chicago Rolling Mill Company recent ly examined the machine and express ed themselves as being favorably . im pressed with its work. A Girl Should Learn.
