St. Johti counts on having a million of the popular vote. The Republicans never found out how great a scoundrel Carl JSchnrz was until he came out for" Cleve land. - The Speaker of the House for the Forty -ninth Congress has been' virtually elected by the re-nomination of Mr. Carlisle. Judge Faircl.ith says he has no hopes t.i York's election. We put Judge Faircloth down as the most muest Republican in North Car olina. The Statesville "American" has een removed to Raleigh to be run as a Jtepnbncau campaign organ until after the election. It. will then be returned to Statesville. Dr. York projioses to devote the melancholy days of October to holding a series -of Republican mass meetings. Gen. Scales is neither invited nor expected to attend. Mr. Blaine's position in regard to the internal revenue is that it ought to be continued perpetually; that it should uever be abobslied. See his letter of Nov. 29, 188,'i. Dr. York supports Mr. Blaine. Allegro of Beaufort count v bv the name of Gurganus. who it is claimed is a man of influence and character, is out in an open letter giving his reasons for not support ing the Republican ticket this year. Senator Ransom spoke at Pine Level, Johnson county, Saturday to a large crowd. He has entered fully uto the campaign and is do ing valiant service. He must be induced to speak iu Wilson, Nash and Greene. The time of holding the County Convention in Peuder lias been changed from Oct. , 1st., to Sept. 29th. The Convention will meet promptly at 11 o'clock. After the Convention Maj. Chas. M. Stead- man will speak. After Oct. 2nd., the joint can vass between Scales and York will close. The Republicans are aware that Scales is winning by the can vass and are therefore determined to stop it. Well, Scales will be elected in any event. . A prominent Ohio Republican politician who was in Washing ton last week said that he may be biased in his opinion by his desire, but he really believes the Repub licans will carry Ohio in October by a majority of 25,000. There is another Presidential candidate in the field. "The Amer ican Political Alliance," whatever that is, has nominated Capt. W. L. Ellsworth, of Pennsylvania, for President, and lie has accepted. This makes about six. Referring to the Republican par ry the Democrats are singing: "O, we'll sing and shout The Devil's about ; We'll shut the door, And keep him out." Mr. Carl Schnrz informs a cor respondent of the New York "Times" that he gets no pay for the political speeches he is making during the present campaign. His effort to bring about the defeat of Blaiue is made for a sense of duty. The Senatorial Convention of Jones, Caiteret and Onslow was held at Swansboro, Sept. iUtli. P. M. Pearsall Esq.. was Chairman. On motion Dr. Cyrus Thompson, of Onslow, was nominated by ac clamation. He accepted the nomi nation. A Democratic Congressman from Michigau writes to the Democratic nariouai commuree: "iou can put Michigan down on the Demo' cratic side, as strange as it may seem. Our union is complete. cordial and sure to win." harmonious, and is A Boston dispatch intimates that the Blaine managers are a Unit to attempt to offset the recent damaging disclosures of Fisher , and Mulligan by start iug mother scandal about Gov. Cleve Und. They expect to make anoth er appeal to the moral and relig ious press. We honor Couklin says the "Star." Blaine in vain tried to placate him. He declined to enter the campaign. "Help me Roscoe or I sink." And Roscoe would not. But he-will soon write a letter and define his position, and it is said it will not be on the side of the writ er of the Mulligan letters. Mr. Daniel Manning, chairman of the New Y'ork Democratic State committee, said to a gentleman one day last week, after a meetiug of the committee: "This is the first time I have spoken with re gard to the campaign. People may say what they please, but Grover Cleveland is going to be our next President. Perhaps 1 ought not to say so much, but I have the most reliable information from all over thd country, which assures me of what I say." Jno. M. Moriiig, Ex-Speaker of the Democratic House of Repre sentatives, of Chatham, has an nounced himself a Republican can didate for Cougress in the Raleigh district. The "News-Observer" says. The time will come when Mr. Moring will exclaim with Mr. Blaine: "If you knew the agonies I have suffered in this matter during the past six months, you would pity me I am sure." "Its personal hardships to me are bitter, burning and humilia ting to the last degree." ' The "State Chronicle" says Mr. Harry Rhodes, of Mark's Creek township, Wake county, has voted sixty-two times, every time against the Democracy. He will vote straight Democratic this year. The "Appalachian Philosopher" says there is a movement on foot to call a convention iu North Caro lina for the purpose of nominating electors for St. John aud Daniel. The convention will probably meet in Greensboro in -October. "Harper's Weekly" for last week had a capital cartoon of Blaine standing at "Fort Doodle," gun in hand, behind a breastwork of money-bags; illustrating Senator Edmunds' assertion, "Whenever Tliiirmau and I have joined hands against Jay Gould and fellows of that sort in the Senate, James G. Blaine has invariably started op from behind 'Gould's breastwork, musket in hand." At Clemonsvile, when Senator Vance finished his speech and descended from the stand he was met by an old gentleman, who said: "Vance, let nie shake your hand. I have been voting : he Re publican ticket for four 3'ears. I heard your speech i to-day and it has converted me. I shall vote with the Democrats." "I hawidone some good," replied the Seuator, and added, "while the lamp holds out to burn, the vilest sinner may return." Winston "Leader." One of Major tc,iiiiuu's Jokr.

Take Your Jlioic-; Winston .-Thinks' The Negro Should Ride In First Class Cars, Stop At First Class Hotels And Be Treated As White .People. Mr. Francis I). Wiuston, the youthful Republican candidate for State Superintendent of Public In truction, spoke in Washington during the receift Republicau Con vention. Iu referring to Demo cratic supremacy in this State and t he questiou of county government, he said "You Democrats are afraid that the Eastern counties will be run over by the negroes. If I must be ruled4 at all, I had as lief be ruled by the negroes as any one else." He expressed unqualified approval of the Civil Rights plat form and said to the negroes pres ent. "You are entitled to whatev er your money will buy. If you have enough money to buy a first clas ticket or purchase first-class fair, you have a right to ride in first-class cars and steamboats and to stop at first-class hotels." Do the white people of North Carolina desire such a man to pre side over the public schools of the State? Are you ready for Civil Rights ? If not, vote for the Dem ocratic candidate. Washington "Gazette." ' " She Knew How. She was young and sweet and poetic, he was young and mis chievous. They were sitting out on the veranda in the moonlight ami she grew ethereal. "Oh, iiow, I love to sit herein the moonlight, she cooed, "to be fanned by the languorous per fumes of the roses and to be kiss ed bv the soft airs from the South!" Then he kissed her and she grew indignant. "How dare 3011?" she almost sobbed- "Why,- I'm a soft heir from the South," he replied contritely. She didn't say anything when he kissed her again. Bosiness Before Politics. The letter of Gov. Cleveland declining a pressing iuviatation to attend the great Democratic meeting at Hamilton, Ohio, Satur day last, does him. great credit. He says the duties of the office he now hulds lor the people of his State are so imperative and press so constantly, upon his time aud attention that he deems it his duty to remain at his post. He takes the ground that "the chance of aiding his prospect of success in the pendig canvass does uot excuse the. neglect' of duties attached to his present official position." 1 1 understands that the Democratic party is pledged to the enforce ment of the principle that "a pub lic office is a trust, which is violated when the interests of the people j are lorgonen or neeuiessiy disre garded," and he believes "the suc cess of the party depends upon the assurance .which the people have that the pledge to better their condition by restoring to them a pure aud simple administration of the government ""will be scrupu lously observed." Gov. Cleveland could not have put his declination in more striking and effective terms. . " ' i- The Blaiue and Logan club of Salem broke up in a row Thursday night of last week. The revenue riugsters got into a fight and lam med each other pretty lively. A colored preacher tied himself up in a double-bow knot and rolled down the stairs to get Out of harm's way. The next morning two of the com batants met on the streets of Winston and tried to shoot each other, but were arrested. A Salem corresiHindent writes all this to the Charlotte "Observer."

HIS LOVE FOR LITTLE CHAPS I was sitting down in front of the hotel the other morning perus ing the "Constitution," when a clever, good-for-nothing, seedy, pale-faced individual came up and took a chair beside me, and says lie, "Kernal, sposin a woman was to put up a plea and writ agin a feler when she had no grouns, and her lawyer put it in the paper, and now she wants to take it back and git together again, can't I make her write a liebill and put that in the paper too ?" ."I don't exactly understand you, my friend," said I. "Is it a divorce case? Is your wife sueing yon for a divorce ?" ' "Adzactly," said he, "I had a little property and she and her lawyer wants it, and so she raised a rumpus about nothing and put in a plea aud wants all the 111011 ey." "Alimony," said I, "Adzact ly," said he, "and so 1 sold 'my property and put all the money where she cant hud it, and now she wants to come together again and don't want to sign a liebill." "How long have you been mar ried!" said I. "About two months," said he. "And what was the matter?" said I. "What made her sue you ? What did you do to her?" "Nothiu," said he.. "She got mau cause I wouhlent give her money to go off on an excursion to Stone Mountain with a red-headed feller, and she called 'me an old North Carolina yaller-eyed, tallow laced, box-ankle vagabon, and I dont know what all she dident call me, and I want to know if I cant make her prove it. Aiut she got to prove it before she can put in a plea !" "Prove what," said I. "Why, pro re what she called me, said be. "Well lets see," said I. Did you come "Well, said be. from North Carolina?" I were bom, thar," And your eyes are a little val- ler," said I; and your complexion is very sallow, and you may be box-ankled I dont know. Now the main question is, what do you do for a living? Wrhat is your trade; are you a vagabond, or not!" "Well, keruel, I dont do much of anything right now, sepin to knock round, fr business is mighty dull." "Well, now," said I, "do you go and make up with your wife and buy you a little home with that money your daddy left you, and go to work, aud the very first thiug you do give that red headed feller a lickiu' if he comes about aud then your wife will have more re spect for 30U." He studied awhile and said : "Keruel, I believe you are right. I'll whip him shore," and he left lue. Well, there is a power of trouble amongst the poor and the rich. Tne poor fools many for fun and the rich fools marry for money, and there is misery all round. There is no happiness in wedded life except wheu they-marry for love and have a mutual respect for one another. The middle classes are the happiest, for thejr have to work for a living and they are happier in the country than in the town, for the red headed chaps have got to work too and havent got time to be cruising around ou excursions with other people's wives. Now is th time when I love to take the little chaps around the farm and pull a few big ears of new corn for new meal and big hominy, and it looks like the low ground corn is bigger and fatter than ever before. 1 find some ears 13 inches long with 18 aud 2o rows aud they will average a thousand grains and 40 of them will shell a half bushel. It is curious how na ture figuies up her, products, for I have never yet seen an ear with an odd rowe. I They are 14 and 10 and 18 and 20 but never odd, and it Is a mysterious wonder how the teuder shoot wrapped up in its newborn shuck alwavs moulds the cob into even nnmbers aud never makes a mistake. Ordinarily it takes a hundred ears to make a bnshel, and with a thousand grains to the ear a bushel of shelled corn has one huudred thousand grains. One time there was a Persian phi losopher who wanted to teach the wild young king a lesson ot pru dence and good government, aud so he iuvited the game of chess, and taught him how to play, and how dependent the king was upon the queen, and how the knights and the bishops and the castles represented the chivalry and the church, and the old solid men Of the kingdom, and it took all of them to strengthen the empire and defend the king; and the pawns were the humble subjects, the poor working people, and they were the truest and best defenders of all. So the young king took the lesson kindly, and was so gratified for it that he wanted to make the philos opher a present, and while they were playing a game on the chess board the philosopher said he did ent want any present, but if the king insisted on it he would simpl.y take a grain of corn for the first square ou the chess-board and have it doubled on each succeed ing sqnare until all the sixty-four squares were covered. The kiug laughed ut him for wanting such a trifle and the philosopher went off and told him he would call next day for his corn and asked him to figure it op and see how much it was. That night the king thought he would calculate and so he went to work and' found that it would take moievcorn than was in bis kingdom nSore than had been made in hit kingdom in a thous- and years, and now I would like for the boys aud girls who are go ing to school to do this sum and find out how many million barnes holdiug a million bushels each it would take to hold the philoso pher's com. The old man took this way to check the king's ex travagance and keep him from squandering the estate his father left him. Our little chaps are gathering the popcorn now, and the red ears and the yellow ones and the speck led ones look mighty nice, all mix ed together, and the children will have a good time these long winter nights that are coming. They are talking 'about walnuts and scaly barks and chestnuts and black haws and May-pops and 'iossums. These little things make up a bright picture in the life of a child, and they treasure sweet memories that do us good iu our old age. I doiit care much for such things now, but 1 do care to see the chil dren happy, just as I used to be happy in the long ago. I can't climb a tree and shake down the nuts; I can't pull up by a musca dine vine hand over hand: I can't inn a pony race to the mill like I used to; but I can still meander around with children and grand children, and make a corn-stalk fiddle and a gourd banjo and a sassafras bow. If our children would always be children I would willingly be old, just to follow them around; but one by one they grow up and leave us, and soon very soon Mr. Arp aud will be childless, and all we can do will be to sit together and sing "John An derson, My Joe." Bill arp. Success Of A Pender Boj. A competitive examination was held last Saturday in this city for a' clerkship iu the Auditor's department- of the Wilmingtou & Weldon Railroad Company. A u umber of candidates presented themselves in accordance with an advertisement calling for a young man for a clerkship in said depart ment. The examination, fair and impartial, was rigid and protrac ted. The choice fell upon S. S. Satchwell, Jr., as having passed the best examination. He is a lad of only sixteen years of age, and is the son of Dr. S. S. Satuwell, ol Pender. The creditable success of this lad, over so many older appli cants for the desirable! position thus wou, is complimentary to Pender anil to the Wrarsaw High School, of whieh he has been a pupil for the last twelve months.

"I wants to tesserfy ergin de fraud o' dis heah 'lection," said an old negro, referring to the recent ballot- box contest in Arkansaw. "Do you, of your own knowledge, kuow that fraud was committed!" asked a man who was interested in con testing the election. "Cose I does, sah.

The speaking took place in the grove ou the Blount Hill, the speak er being escorted thither by the band, the fire compauy aud a large crowd of citizens ou loot ou horse back and in buggies, 'h At 11 o'clock Mr. D. A. Coviug ton, chairman of the Democratic executive committee, arose and in a very felicitous speech introduced Gen. Ransom. j It is needless for ns to say that the speech was a great one oue that did full justice to the cause and to the occasion. It occupid nearly two and a half hours iu its delivery, aud we cannot attempt to give more thau the merest outline of it. He began by alluding to the rea son why he was present, which was a respouse to the request of the State executive committee to fill Gen. Scales' appointment, aud this brought him at once to speak of Geu. Scales, who, he said, is a great and a good man, and iu every way fitted to fill the exalted posi tion of Governor of the State with credit and honor. In viewing the crowd before him, which was rep resentative of the well-known, tried and true Democracy of the county, he said he could not conceive why Mr. Battle had sent him here, uu less it was that he (Ransom) had been in Washington so long he was not a good euofigh Democrat. aud he-bad sent him to old Union to get his Democracy renewed. There aro now but two parties iu this State, he said ; he would not waste time talking about a Liberal or Independent party it was all stuff, pretense; there are but two parties, the Democratic party and the Republican party; he would place the Democratic party ou- his right hand and the Republicau par ty on his left, and he would com pare them, and see which one of them had the best right and title to the support of the people. He had been approached, he said, by Democrats who had asked him to tell them what the Democratic par ty had doue to entitle it to the con fidence and support of the people. He would tell them iind he would not go back before the war to do it, wnen ior iour-nitiis ot the time.tue government was under the control of the Democratic party, to whose wise and beneficent policy and laws it owed its ante-bellum prosperity and greatness. He would not go back to that-period of its great ness, but would come down to the period since the war, since which time it had been out of power, but had been a check upon the en croachments of the rapacious Re publicau party. The Democratic party, he said, was not the old Democratic party, but was com posed of the good men of the old Whig and the good, men of the old Democratic parties, who had buried their old party prejudices, and had banded together in defence ot their homes and firesides. Oue thing the Democratic party had done entitled it to the everlasting grati tude aud support ot the people of the South, it had forced the sol diers from the polls, aud had made the ballot box what it was designed to be the untrammelled expression of the sovereign will of the people, If it had done nothing else and would uever do anything else, that was enough. He next reviewed the condition of the Southern States twelve years ago, under the carpet bag regime and compared them with their present conditioii. He drew a vivid picture of. the desolation aud rum that prevailed taxes enor mous, the people dispirited aud heart-broken, and justice sold like a sheep or a yard of calico. Have the people forgotten those days, he asked. Now, having hurled the despots from power and resumed control of our affairs, what do we see! Peace, happiness aud pros perity aronud ns and for this beu eficent state of affairs the Demo cratic party is responsible; and still there are some to ask what has the Democratic party done? It had taken up the eleven South ern States, had broken the chains which the Republican party had fastened around them, bad en couraged them and lifted them up and made them the equals of any in the Union. He defied any one to point to a single act of the Re publican party which had contrite uted to bring about the change. He next reviewed the record of the parties on the subject of edu cation in this State, which he said was the life-blood ot the land. W hat did the Republicans do for educa tion while in power in North Caro lina! During the whole time they were in power they did not build one school house in the State, and spent only a few thousand dollars, although theie was a large amount of the old school fund on band, which was largely increased by the sale of the State's interest in some of the railroads, and the imposition upon the people ol enormous taxes This money, instead of feeding the mind of the children of the State, went to pay the per diem of the members of the Legislature. In comparison with this fearful record what bad the Democratic party done? Last year, with one-fourth ot the amount of taxes imposed by the Republicans, the present ad ministration paid out f 725,000 for education , it paid 5,200 teachers, built 5,700 school bouses and gave 250,000 children the blessed Ii of education. He spoke at length of the pros perity which had attended the re turn of the Democratic party to power in the State asylums built for white and colored, our railroads extended and equipped, the expen ses of the penitentiary and all of the public charities amply met, and this with the taxes decreased from 80 cents on the 1 100 worth of prop erty to 25 ceuts. The State was organized 109 -years ago, and we see this year something which had never happened before we have no State taxes to pay, except the school fax, which is right, as the schools ought to be kept going. But this year is an exception and he wouldn't count it. We paid last year but 33$ cents per head for the support of the State and county government, which is the lowest tax paid by any , people on the globe. The eople, be said, ought to vote to keep the party ip power which decreased the taxes white in creating the benefits. And this broueht him to notice the taxes imposed by the general government. Four huudred mil lion dollars, he said, would be re quired to run the government next year four times as much as all the laud in the State of North Carolina is worth, or eieht dollars per bead for every mau, woman anil child in the whole couutry, aud twenty-four times as much as our State taxes. No government could live under such a burden, and it is a marvel that the people have stood it as long as they have. Our entire ex ports amount to only 740,000,000, while our taxes are i?400,000,000, over oue-hal fas much. What goes with this enormous amount of mon ey? Have they increased our com merce! No; nearly the entire car rying trade of the country is car ried on in English vessels. At the end of the war we bad a magnifi cent navy, second only to that of England, and although millions up on millions of dollars are appropri ated every jear to keep up, we have now practically no navy. The secretary of the navy in his last report to Congress bad said that any second-rate power of Europe could shut up our ports aud invade our country, and we had no navy with which to oppose them, The Republican party had been in pow er so long that the whole govern ment every department had be come honey-combed with corrup tion, and a change was imperative ly demanded. Money, he said, was scarce in evory portion of the country, ex cept in one spot in the vaults of the treasury at Washington. There is now stored in those '. vaults four hundred millions of dollars, accu mulated by burdens imposed upon the people in the way of taxes. The entire circulating medium of the country gold, silver and paper is only about twelve hundred mil lions, and over one-fourth of this amount fs locked up at Washing ton. No wonder the times are hard. But with this enormous amount of money on hand they did not follow the precedent set for them by the Democrats in North Carolina and stop the taxes, but continued to wring the hard earn ings from the people. He next spoke oi the internal revenue, and made a very strong argument in favor of the abolition of the whole iniquitous system. He next spoke of Governor Cleveland said he knew him per sonally, and of all the great men in the Democratic party he was satis fied that the Democrats had nomi nated their best man. He was the man of all others to reform the government and bring the old ship of State back to the best days of Democratic purity and economy. He next spoke olthe race ques tion ; said the policy of the Repub lican party was to degrade the Southern white people and to up lift the negro, and cited indisputa ble facts to substantiate the asser tion. Spoke of what the Democrat ic party in this State had done and is doing for the colored people; it has given them equality before the law, has built asylums for their in sane and deal and dumb, and is educating their children, giving them exaotly the Fame advantages that the white children enjoy. Said that he had the Fiudest feelings for the colored people, and would not say anything to hurt their feelings, but this is a white man's govern ment and the white people will rule it. This report of the speech is very imperfect and very unjust to Gen Ransom. Some of his best points we have failed to touch uitou. The speech gave the greatest iKwsible satisfaction to our people. We heard many say it was -the best oliticaI speech they had ever lis tened to, and from the verdict that it was a great effort there is riot a dissenting voice. Beautiful Legend. Have you never read Whittier's leautil'ui version of the media-val legend of the ancient saint, when suddenly, as in auswer to prayer, a vision of bis crucified Lord ap leared to him? While he gazed enraptured ujkmi the vision, the bell of the monastery rang out the hour of noon. It was a call to him to go and feed the hungry, ragged, thriftless poor, before the monastery gate. Hesitating, with heavy heart and reluctant step, he arose, closed the door upon the vision, and went out to e;form his duty. When be returned, the vision awaited him with the declaration: "Hadst thou remained I must have gone; because thou didst go, I bare remained." You wait in your cell and lose the vision. Leave the vision, go to God's poor, and find Christ where the disciples were wont to find him where love called to selfdenying service. "He that findeth his life shall lose it, and be that findeth bis life shall lose it, and be that loseth bis life for ray sake shall find it." Chris tian "Union.- 1 Tbe Wij to SalTition.

LOVE'S INFLUENCE A RICH GIRL KLOPES WITH HER FATHER'S COACHMAN. A ROMANTIC STORY. All New York was thrown into a Hurry of excitement recently bj the discovery that Miss Victoria. Morosmi, the daughter of Mr. G. P. Morosini, private secretary aud partner or Jay Gould, had eloped with her father's coachman, Er nest Shelling. A touch of romance, probably put iu to toue down the scandal, is given by the report tuat Shelling is really an Haitian nobleman, who falling in love with Miss Morosini and uot having a purse fat enough to please her rich" family, adapted the disguise in order to accomplish the desire of his heart., When Miss Morosini left home she took with her sever al thousand dollars' worth of dia monds and jewelry. They were married by au obscure dergvinan of New York. The Morosini homestead is situ ated at Yonkers, and is m large stoua mansion with beautiful gar dens surrounding it, and the sta bles away in the rear hidden by shrubbery. Shelling, who is a Ger man, had full charge of the horses and carriages, of which his em ployer had the best iu the town. Some time ago Mr. Morosini be gan to notice that Victoria was spending much of her time in the coachmau's society. She would frequently order her carriage and always insist on haviug Shelling to act as her coachman. Then the other members of the family be came suspicious, and told their father that it would .be well to discharge Shelling, as be seemed to be makiug love to Victoria, Mr. Morosiui then watched hi dunali. ter and discovered Shelling wrth his arm around her waist, and was horribly surprised to see that the girl made no resistance, and, iu fact, rather seemed to court the attentions of the coachman. ThA coachman was instaully discharg ed, and with anything but a bless ing, out tne young couple contin ued to meet clandestinely from time to time, until the disappear ance or Miss Morosini. The young lady is about twenty-five years okl- ' and of a romantic disposition. Site is of medium height, and has a fair, fresh complexion, with rich, wavy, blonde hair. Shelling is slim, and constructed with a dud- lsh model. Ile is a few months younger than Miss Victoria, and is quite tan, witn a lair skin and bark hair, rather thin ou ton. Ho affects "sideboards," with a deli cate down covering his upper Up, wuicu ue Keeps trimmed to the minutest' proportions. Mr. Morosini is an Italian and has always claimed that he came to tins country as a refugee, ac companying Garibaldi and bis wile. Wheu Garibaldi resided in humble quarters on Stateu Island' Morosini was bis constant compan ion, and their friendship was of the most fraternal nature. Morosini made his entree into -Wall street as a sort of office attendant to Jay Gould when the latter had a small room back of the Union Pacific rail road offices on Nassau street. He was then working on a salary, " and acted as a bodyguard to Mr. Gould. He made a great deal of money and had a happy faculty of keeping jt, being regarded iu Wall street as being very close in; all his dealings, public and pri vate. Wheu Mr, Gould desired to put his. sou George into business he organized the present firm of Washington E. Connor & Co., aud made equal partners of W. E. Cou nor, George Gould and G. P. Moro sini, Jay Gould becoming a special partner aud giving the firm the benefit of all his vast stock specu lating business. Connor & Co., have made a great deal of money, have been what is called in Wall street very lucky, and Mr. Moro sini is believed to be worth be tween .'00,000 and $1,000,000. A Word With farmers. If we could get the ear of our cotton planters now at the begin ning of the season we would cry to them iu confidence that it is the fraction over the ordinary price for eotton that makes tbe margin of profit. It is the half cent care that pays. To make that half-cent eare and trouble are necessary. The cotton must be well picked, and kept free from trash, leaves, sand aud dirt. The bale must be uuiform ' as to grade. By mixing good cotton with a poor article, the value of tbe entire bale is brought down to the low grade. Take the trouble to keep your sta ple clean it will pay; take care to have the bales put np in the nicest style; there is money in It. . Cotton is low aud to make !otb tends meet this year, the planter must be careful to get tbe highest price, and that highest price can only be obtained for a first-class article put up in first-class bales.

First Their politics is so bad it won't mix with religion. Second Tbey have no religion- to mix with their politics. New York "Witness."
