PAN BILL ARPS LETTER. HE DISCOURSES UPON THK UNHAPPY CONDITION OF THK KICH. Only the Poor Can be Truly Happjr Kiches Destroy all That Constitute True Happi new Oolug Back to First Principle. "Qin fit Macenas" is nearly all the Latin I remember. It is the begin ing of an ode that Horace wrote nearly two thousand years ago. He was ruminating over the dissatisfac tion of mankind with their lot, their condition, their occupation, and he wondered why it was that most every body imagined bis own case a hard one, and that other people were bet ter off. Ever since then history has been repeating itself over and over again. It is the same in the town and country. ' The humble tenant who rents land thinks he "would- be tiappy if he owned it. The farmer who owns his farm would be happy if he had a few more acres that 101ft him. Country people imagine that the townfblks have no trqubles, and the townfblks long to be rich and live in a city. We are all looking over the lence into our nabor's premises and envy their better condition. If our nabor has ice, we want ice. If he has a carnage, we want a carnage, nut the truth is that the nch nabor is no happier for he, too, wants something he hasn't got, and so it goes. Van- derbilt won't be any happier m his six-million-dollar palace that he is building at Asheville than his humble gardener, who lives in a cottage. The wrong in building it is that the palace becomes dead capital. Of course the six millions were all paid out for labor and are still in circulation but the money could have been paid out for something of more use than a house for one family to live in. It would have built a thousand houses for the poor in New York, That is what Peabody did with his money in London. Mr. Kiser has just com pleted a grand building in Atlanta. It cost him a hundred thousand dol- ars, but it was wanted and is already occupied by the Terminal railroad for othces. The house is not dead, nor the railroad either. Rents will accumu- ate and build another house, and the railroad will carry us and our products all over this great country. There is nothing wrong about that. It is fair and honorable business. If a million aire should choose to spend a million m in skyrockets just to see the fun, it would be a sin. Crcesus or some other rich man once gave a feast, and the pnncipal dish was humming birds tongues that cost halt a million dol lars to get them. That, too, was a sin, and it is the follies of the rich that make the poor so mad, and keep up the strife between capital and labor. A swell family nding 200 yards to church in a thousand dollar carriage provokes bad thoughts and ripens the fruit of revolution. The Question goes round: "How did they get all that never see 'em work any. money ! Now if the common people only knew how little of real happiness was to be found in the homes of the nch they would not be envious nor cove tous. There are more closets in large houses than small ones, and therefore more skeletons. There is a rat's nest under every carriage seat and moths in every seal skin and a prowling thief watchingi the silver on every table. The devil is asleep in the rich man's parlor waiting for his children. His imps follow them to the saloon and the gaming table and the ballroom and the brothel. Not long ago I met a friend a friend of my youth. He has worked hard and made a fortune, and is still working hard for more, and the lines of toil and trouble are set deep in his face "How are your boys doing ?" said I. "Not worth a dn." said he. Of course not. They had no induce ment They never heard their father talk anything but money, and they knew that when he died they would have enough. They were just wait ing. And yet there are poor folks who envy' him and would exchange places with him. Now, if a poor man who lives in the country could only know and realize the security that his poverty and his location gives to his children, the security against the temptations that lurk around the towns and cities, the devilish snares that beset society and destroy the peace and happiness of its members, he would thank God for his good for tune. The law ot compensation comes into every situation of life. A good man will not murmur at his poverty. The man who brings me wood hauls six miles. His capital stock is his lot of poor land, his mule and plow, a wagon and yoke of steers, his ax and his strong arms. His children are being raised to work, for he sets them a good example. He comes witn a cheerful smile, and if the rain catches him he makes no complaint. He has a cow and some hogs, and his wife raises chickens and sells eggs and apples and potatoes. That man is a good citizen and his children are likely to be. He has no case in court, and does not complain if drawn on the jury or summoned to work the road. That family enjoys their food and their rest, and when Sunday comes they go to the unpretending country country church and listen to the counsels' of the man of God and go home fhankTul to their Heavenly Father for His goodness. This is the picture. Can a painter or a poet draw a better One ? Indeed, these" are pictures that painters and poets love to draw. Tom Ntoore said : I knew by the smoke that so gracefully curled Above the green elms that a cottage was near, And I said "If there's peace to found in the world A heart that was humble might hope for it here." Gray wrote his elegy in memory of the humble cottagers, and Burns best poem was "The Cotter's Satur day Night." Samuel Rogers was! rich, but the wish of his heart was Mine be a cot beside the. hill. And Goldsmith poor, miserable, delightful Goldsmith paid tribute to the humble peasantry of England when he wrote : His best companions innocence and health And his best riches ignorance of wealth. The average farmer's life makes no display in the world, and it was never intended that it should. A man has done his duty when he has filled hist capacity. There is but one Shake speare, one Milton, one Goldsmith. There was but one Bonaparte, and and that was one too many. I was perusing a book on English authors, and was surprised to find how few of them lived to a good old age. A literary life is short in years, though some of them are loner in great brain work is not healthy work when compared with the outdoor occupa tion and simple, temperate habits of farmers. Shakespeare died at fifty two; Addison, fifty-three ; Steele, fifty four ; Gray, fifty-five ; Pope, fifty -six ; Gibbon, fifty-seven ; Dickens, fifty eight ; Macaulay, fifty-nine ; Charles Lamb, sixty ; Scott, sixty-one ; Cole ridge, sixty-two ; Bacon, sixty -three ; Collins, sixty-four ; Milton, sixty-five ; Arnold, sixty-six ; Burke, sixty-seven; Southey, sixty-eight and Bulwer, sixty-nine. Then there were Golds smith and Burns and Byron and Thackery and Hood, who never reached their fiftieth years. I penned down thirty consecutive names of notable writers, and their average age was fifty-six years. It would have alarmed me if I had written anything that was any account, but considering all things I will risk it a little longer. If a man can keep calm and serene and has a good constitution, he can do literary work a long time ; but there are lot of little troubles nowa days. I see a book agent coming up the walk right now, and I have to fortify myself against him and listen with patience and resignation to his little speech, and then look at his book and be courteous, and then fmake my little speech and let him I T 1 1 1 . 1 M asttaL go. I would like to buy ail tweir books, but I can t. And there is the wory about cooks and company, and the everlasting lroncs 01 the young people, for they are going all the time, and have run away with the town. There hasn't been a day or a night, except Sunday, in five weeks that there wasn't some town foolish ness on hand that they were just obliged to take a hand in, for fear of giving offense, they say, and some times they don't get home until mid night, and I wish we were all back Ih the country where we came from Most every one ol these vacation days is as big a thing as a country wheat threshing or a Sam Jones tab ernacle meeting, and, to my opinion, these long-winded frolics are not doing the young folks any good. Ir regular hours and ice cream and cake and canteloupes and milk shakes have got them all churned up, and we can't get them up to breakfast nor get them home to supper. But it seems to be the family opinion that I amgettingantiquated,and unreasona ble, and maybe I am, though I have heard some other paternals say it has been the bangenest vacation that ever came over Cartersville. It will soon be over, thank the good Lord, and then maybe we will all get our chil dren back again. Country people don t have such things, and they ought to be thankful. I bought ; load of fodder to-day from Mr. Gil reath, a good, contented farmer, and his little ten-year-old boy came with him and was proud to set on top and drive some, and he was modest and well behaved and has a good chance to make a man, but if he lived in town he would be smoking cigarettes right now.

A gentleman just from Charlottesville related the fol lowing story to a State reporter today-" Ope of the professoes tendered Mr. Waftersotr a reception on Monday V T"--r J 7 ..TT IXa",T ;-aHr, v -J- w.li s a 'i aa .. a- or L,nariottesme people wm nan me pleasure of M. Watterson's acquain tance', but of course, everybody knew him oy reputation. The elite, there fore, looked forward with peculair deligh t to the scintillations of wit that would proceed from the distinguished gentleman. Mr. Watterson was present on time, and the company soon began to crowd the Jpariors. But the chief guest had a-far-up- in- t he-clouds look and bad not a word say to anybody. He simply shook hands and gave to each person conventional bow. 1 be host and hostess endeavored to draw him out, but he did not respond. Sonj one said to the noted editor that Marshall McCormick would he present later in the evening. "Ah, I happen to be acquainted with Mr. McCormick," said Watterson. Very soon Mr. McCormick came. One of the ladies todk him aside and said, "Mr. McCor- nick, do get Mr. Watterson to talk. lie is not saying a word. He says he knows you. Now do draw him out and get him started. "Oh, yes, replied Mr. Cormick. I know Watterson and will soon see what is the matter. He is a man of genius a man of moods. I will fix him." He went up to the noted editor, and, after exchanging a few courte sies, said : . "Watterson, wouldn't you like to stroll out on the lawn and get some fresh air?" "Na," said Watterson, "I have plenty of air." 'But I mean would n t you like to stroll out and get a drink ? We have sdtoe hne bqMoi in the office just across the lawn. ft "has beett provid ed for you." 'Great Heavens ! yes ; it is just what I am dying for."' So they slipped out and took the promenade, i First came a good stiff drink of rare whiskey, and then a bottle of claret, and then a bottle of champagne. Watterson became ra diant, of course, and was soon at his best. They had been absent from the parlor only about twenty minutes. Watterson talked like the genius he was ; fascinating everybody. Before the party broke up all agreed that they never heard such brilliant before. talk Mr. Mc- "And what did you do to Watterson?" was asked of Mr. Cormick. "Oh, well, you see Watterson has a passion for astronomy. He remem bered what a beautiful night it was, and he yearned to see the stars. His mind was running on the big Mc Cormick telescope too, and he might have remained in the parlor all the evening without coming down from the clouds. I simply took him out to give him an oprjortunity of seeing the stars. Just as soon as he saw them he was himself again. That is the explanation of the change that came over him. The explanation was perfectly satisfactory. The next morning Mr. Watterson was in splendid trim for the lecture, and the great audience was spell bound, it is sate to say that no essayist or orator ever made a more enviable reputation at the University Two or three who had heard him before say that he surpassed himself. 1 here is one thing certain, no man was ever more lionized, and no man ever showed more appreciation of Vir ginia hospitality.

The Philadelphia Ledger remarks : "Though only 35 years old Colonel Polk, the Fanners' Alliance leader, has gray hair and a white beard, which gives him something of the appearance of an old Polk." With the exception that Col. Polk is about 54 years old, his hair isn't gray much and his beard isn't white, this may be correct. Wilmington Star. F RK A KM OF THK ST AT E PRBtM, I. C.

Major Sam Smith has on exhibi tion at his drug store two cannon balls, weighing respectively one hun dred and twenty-five pounds each, that have an interesting history at tached. It was one morning in Jan uary, 1864, when the Major, Capt. Felix Crutchfield and W. S. Martin were standing talking that these balls were shot by the enemy, iftto Suther land's battery, of which Major Smith was a member. Fortunately for these three gentlemen, the bombs failed to explode, and though they fell within twenty -five feet of three soldiers in question, no damage was done. I was one of those "fortunate mishaps" that saved so many lives in the four years of bloodshed. The Sutherland battery was . located at Sugar Loaf, near Wrightsville sound, and Major Smith had the balls ex cavated while at Wrightsville during the encampment. Winston Cor. Raleigh Observer. A Young Man' Fancy. Large allowance is to be made for the sweeping assertion ot the poet that "in the spring a young mans fancy lightly turns : to thoughts of love." It certainly is riofc true of the malarial; young man, whose fancy if he has any, is of the dull and heavy variety. The malarial young man marches around as the captive of General Debility. The readiest and most obvious means j of escape are afforded by S. S. S., which, without any flourish, routs General Debility and his malarial awes. What is true of the young lady, and the whole host of sufferers. S. S. S. is a specific for malaria. How la This? Every sensible man in North Caro lina knows this ; that the mistake of the South in the great war was seek ing independence, thus bringing on a most disastrous war, rather than seek ing its rights within the Union.

People Demaad Cm all be Securod Through the Demo cratic Party, aa4 W1U Come From Such a No man not an idiot or a bad fel low would be willing to oppress the farmers. The Democratic party in its whole history has never been guilty of this sin of commission. It stay not have done all it should have done and the sin ol omission may possibly be laid at its door but it nas never persecuted or oppressed or sought to wrong the farmers. The bad, the sectional, the parti san, the aggressive and oppressive tews that have burdened, robbed and afflicted them were not of Democrat ic orign. They were conceived in in wie lertue Drains conceived ui wickedness and executed wrathful ness vindicativeness. We do not be lieve there is any. exception to this. We would not say by a great deal that the Democratic Congressmen (and in this word we always and cor rectly indude both houses) are with out grave faults, and they have invari ably done their duty, for they have not, Some of them have departed from sound principle and run after false gods. But they have not as a body helped pass vicious laws, or fn any way been deliberately hostile to the great farming interests. Such, we think,' we can safely affirm with all due consideration of the truth. The farmers have been wronged and outraged in their pockets, but only by the Republican party the party of Stanton and Holt, of Grant and Morton, of Garfield and Blaine, of Butler and Lodge, 'of Hoar, and Edmunds, of Sherman and Harrison, of Quay and Wanamaker. and the remainder of the gang of grabbers and oppressors. The farmers have many things to complain of. They have suffered from bads laws, from over production. They are combining and seeking re dress now. The really important question is How can this redress be most surely found ? What is the safest and surest plan to obtain it ? Is it better as a class to antagon ize all other classes ? Is it wiser to cut off from and thus disintegrate. weaken, or perhaps destroy, their old and only friend in the past the grand Democratic party with Jener sonian principles, than to seek reform ana aenverance witnin tne ioius 01 that great, constitutional party that is powerful and fully organized in every every section ? The wise man, the prudent man, cannot well miss the right answer. Every sensible man m North Caro Una, if he will calmly reflect, must see that it is wiser, surer, safer; better to pull together against a common ene my than to break up into parties of factions, hoftile, bitter, belligerent that victory and a redress of all grievances -be along the line ot har mony and union and in preservation, intact and perfect, of the Democratic party that sprung from the people, has always served the people and is controlled now by the people. In union there is strength. One word more now. Every re. fleeting and observing man must have come to the conclusion that it is with fthe farmers of North Carolina to name the candidates and lay down the platform for 1892. They are numerically in the ascendant in this State. They can capture and con trol the conventions and shape the policy, for the State campaign. Why then go off like a comet into space set up a new party, and thus divide and and weaken and finally destroy the the one ramifying,thoroughly organ ized party of the Union ? Do not get out ot the .party to seek reforms and removals of burdens and a cure of political ills. The same mistake will be made that was made in 1 86 1. Stand together fight under the old Democratic banner tnat nas seen many a defeat but has thrown its broad folds over many a field of victory. Get together, pull together, fight together, freeman of North Car olina, and yo will win the day and obtain in the end the redress sought and hehp needed. Messenger. Guaranteed Cure for La Orlppe.

It would stop the regular annua! huctuation in pnees that make a 40 per cent discrimination against agri cultural and in favor of said exploi ters. 5.
