Who had no God, no church, no ' heaven, ;. . ; ' t.' - In his hard creed,. no sin's forgiven; No faith, no hope, no bed-time prayer. No trust to God's protecting care.

So prayed the child, whose faithful love Wafted her simple words above. The proud man listened, and the years, So full of sin, doubt, griefs and fears, Seemed blotted out, and he, once more A child was kneeling on the floor Beside his mother, while he prayed The same prayer as the little maid. Dear childhood's prayer, so sweet, so strong! With power to hold the heart so long, And melt the frost of years away Until the scorner longed to pray; And humbly ere he went to sleep. Besought the Lord his soul to keep. BILL ARPS LETTER. THE PHILOSOPHER'S VISIT TO THE OLD NORTH STATE. If any old man has treasured the impressions . 01 his youtn aoout 01a North Carolina it is time he ;was wak- ing up irom nis Kip van vviniue dream. There was a time "when the geography that we studied asked the question, "What aie the products of North Carolina? and the, answer was, "Flitch, tar. and turpentine." There was a time when the primitive settler, ob being asked what he raised for markiet, said: "Fruit and live stock and lumber," by which he meant pumpkins and possums and hooppoles. Thee was a time when the natives were called "tar heels," and ' if one of them emigrated he hardly dared to own his state, and if he did he tempered the discredit by saying he was Dora "purty close to the Virginny line." If these things were ever true they are not true now. Did Worth Carolina has long since awakened from her slumber and is now rapidly forging ahead.? My recent visit there and the beau tiful handbook sent me by Mr. Rob inson, the commissioner of agriculture constrains me to tell your readers some thing they do not know and will be surprised to learn. I his handbook ol 330 pages is published in the best style of typo graphy and illustrative art, and would be a good model for other states to imitate and emulate. It has forty five beautiful full-paged photographic views of notable features and illustrate the mountains, forests, vineyards. fisheries, farms, factories and railroads of the state. It is a book fit for Chi cago at the world's fair. I wish that Georgia had one, and every other southern state, for I am sure that no stranger can read it but who will be attracted to North Carolina as a most wonderful and progressive state. It j is just 500 miles from Cherokee to Roanoke island, and every portion from the fisheries of Albermarle to the land of the . sky has something peculiar and desirable to boast of. We have long been boasting of our cotton factories in Georgia, but does Georgia know that there are one or more cottorr mills in fortythree -counties ; rf-w rVI -t K 1 o-s-iImi Kiir f nra ol JNorth Carolina : but there are nineteen in Alamance, seventeen in Gaston, twelve in Randolph, nine in Mecklenburg, eight in Catawba, eight in Guilford and 140 in the state, be sides a number in construction. That in these mills are nearly 10,000 looms and over 500.000 spindles, and they consumed last year 165,200 bales of cotton. Besides these are thirteen woolen mills that are turning out the best quality of jeans, kerseys, cassimers and blankets, and there are eight knitting mills, some of them be ing operated day and night, and all declaring good dividends. There are forty seven fsctones that make car riages and buggies, thirty-two that make wagons, twenty-five that make furniture, six that make hubs and spokes and twenty four that make sash, doors and blinds. One of these works 125 hands. Then there are hundreds of sawmills and turpentine distilleries. There are twenty eight canning factories for vegetab'es and fourteen for oysters ; there are fourteen cotton seed oil factories, fifty four fertilizer lactories and quite a number , that make barrels and crates arid baskets and brooms. But on the high top of this pyramid are the tobacco factories that far ex ceed in number and capital those of any state in the union. There are 100 that make plug to bacco, nine that make smoking to bacco. Durham alone sold 11,000, 000 pounds last year and paid to the government for stamps $616,129; Winston paid more than that and Asheville sold dver 5,000,000 pounds of leaf tobacco. These are only the principal tobacco marts, and the ag gregate of the production increases with every year. Then there are the rice fields and cramberry meadows and the immense truck farms that extend all along the coast and find an ' early market in Washington. Baltimore and Philadelphia. At Newbern there were shipped in one day 13,000 barrels of Irish potatoes and 18,000 boxes of beans, and this an every day business, and does not include the peas, "tomatoes, and 'as paragus and cabbage. Indeed, the productions of this coast region seem increditable. -Then ther are fisher ies that employ 6,600 persons and 3,000 Boats and ship y 30,000,000 offish in' a season. Next comes the medicinal herbs, of which one firm in Statesville shipped in one month 118,000 pounds. They employ 300 agents to collect these herbs, and do by far the largest business of any si miliar firm in the world. We have in the mountain region of Georgia and Tennessee the very -same botanical plants, but nobody gathers them. Kow, I have said nothing of the mineral springs or the vineyards or the small fruits nor of the tuberoses that are shipped from every - large town to the northern dealers. 1 his is a wondermi state and a thrifty, industrious people. More great men have been born or educa ted within her borders than any of the southern states. In the long ago my father taught me that Nathaniel Macon was the greatest of all our statesmen, even though he did weatherboard his house on the inside and had the laps up instead of down, so that he could pour iiot water in the cracks and kill the bedbugs. From his day down to Zeb Vance the state Jias not lacked for notable men, and it is safe to say that no one man ever lived in a state who was so universally esteemed and loved as Vance is by his people. - No one man was ever such, a coat of arms, such an ensign, such an emblem of his com monwealth. Vance is North Caro lina and North Carolina is Vance. This cannot be said of any other man in any other Statel . Now what will Georgia do when she considers this record ? How much longer can she claim the hon or of being called the Empire State of the South? We have a splendid record for the past, but what are we doing now ? Here is my county that ranks all others in the state in mineral and agricultural wealth, and yet there is not a cotton or woolen mill in it, and hardly a wheel turning any kind of machinery. Where are our cotton factories, save those in Augusta and Columbus and half a dozen more that make up the list ? Are there half a dozen canning fac tories in the state? What is the matter with our people, especially the farmers, who could put their moneys together and have a little cotton mill in every fertile valley a mill thaj would spin their own cotton into yarn or knit it into hoisiery. Eight or ten thousand dollars would build such a mill and give employment to all the poor children in the neighborhood. Will we never wake-up and get out of the old ruts and learn a lesson from North Carolina. I am now spending my leisure in writing a history of my state a his tory for the young people if they choose to read it. It is a labor of love with me, and my best ambition is to found it upon the truth "nothing to extenuate nor set me down aught in malice." Some things I will write that have not been written, for my heart's desire is to hand down to our children, pure and untarnished, the honor and integrity of our fathers. I have been frequently urged to write such a book, and have got my own consent not to compete with others that have been written, but rather to say something that has not been said, but should be. The time is short. The landmarks are parsing away, but tnere are still a lew men ieit wno are rich in memories. Notable men, gif ted and true men like Judge Rich ard H. Clark and Henry R.

It soothes the child, sof tens the gums, allays all pain, cures wind colic, and is the best remedy for diarrhce. Twenty-five cents a bottle Cotton Acerage. The subject of acreage and prices of cotton is one of vital importance to our farmers at this time. It is evi dent from the amount of fertilizer being sold that a very large crop will be gathered this season, with the in evitable low prices. ' The strikes, in England have re duced consumption of cotton about 700,000 bales, and as there is suffi cient - stock on hand to run all the 'mills in the world for a year, the evil effect of another large crop is appa rent to all. One ol the best and most compen- sive arguments favoring a reduction in acerage that we have read is that read is the report of Senator George of Mississippi, chairman of the com mittee to investigate the low price of cotton, which we take from the Mes senger. to the cotton farmers of the United States : "In the discharge of the duty im posed by the United States Senate on the Committee on Agriculture to investigate the causes ; of the low price of cotton and the remedy, I have made some investigations which, though as yet incomplete, authorize me to state the following conclusion : "There are causes for this low price coming from legislation now in force and there are other causes com ing from needful legislation yet to be enacted; It is certain, however, . that these causes, cannot be remedid in time to effect the price of the crop now about to be planted.even, indeed, if their force ver can be entirely de stroyed." The cotton farmers must, therefore for ..the present, resort to such remedies" or palliatives for the low prices as may come from their owr action, independent of legislation. The, last crop (1892-93) has brought a higher price than the preceeding one. This resulted from the fact that it was much smaller. . Prices would have been higher if there had not been a ' large surplus over the needs of consumption, coming from the very large crop of the preceeding year (1891-92). The natural rise in the price of the crop now being mar keted has been largely impeded by the great strike among the operatives in the cotton factories of England. In this strike 600,000 opearatives, work ing 21,000,000 spindles, have stopped work. The effect of this strike up to this date has been to decrease the amount consumed by British factories since September 1 st, 525,000 bales, and is likely to amount in the near future to more than 100,000 bales in addition. This decrease in demand has by the certain law of trade, dim inished price, or, which is the same Khing, prevented a full rise, which would otherwise have come from the small crop. v "American spinners carried over from last season an unusually large stock of cotton, having bought heavi ly at the low prices prevailing in the spring and summer, and, whilst doing an exceptionally good business, they have taken so far 350,000 bales less than for the same period during last season. This also increased surplus. Tfie prospect of another large crop coining from increased . acerage. if that should happen, would not only be an effectual bar to any rise in the price, but would cause a .still further decline. f"So that now the cotton raisers of the South are confronted with this se rious question , for solution : Shall we,' by increased acreage in the crop now being planted, as compared to the acreage of the last season, raise a crop of 9,000,000 or 10,000,000 bales and thereby glut the markets of the world, causing a fall to the low prices of 1891-92, and perhaps even lower ? ur win we, by reducing the acreage to the extent necessary to raise all our food and forage crops and work ani mals, especially our meat, corn, horses and mules, increase the of our cotton crop and at the time diminish the uses of the price same pro- ceeds of the crop bv the larger re duction in the amount heretofore ap plied to buy necessary supplies ? 1 here can he but one answer to this question in the minds of thoughtful men. "If it be said that among so numer ous a class as the cotton raisers it will be impossible to get up an agree ment which will result in combined action to plant a reduced acerage in cotton, and if this be conceded, then the situation appeals with still stron ger force to each, individual farmer to decrease his own crop to the extent neeoiui to raise nis supplies ; lor in case there shall not be such diminu tion in the acreage as to effect materially- the price, so that the next crop is to be a Tow price one, the ad vantage. to him who has wisely raised his own supplies will be .clear and manifest. He will not have to buy high priced supplies with the scant proceeds of low priced cotton. These proceeds will then be in the main a surplus, or nearly so. "On the other hand, if there shall be such a general movement in the direction of raising a smaller crop as to raise the price, then all who con tribute to it in the manner herein in dicated will enjoy this increased price as the result of their own wise action, and at the same time be "ex empt from expenditures for the sup plies which they have so raised. "After much reflection upon the data collected from all countries adap ted to raising cotton, I am satisfied of this painful truth : That we are never, at least in this generation, to have generally the high prices for cotton we once had. ' Cotton will never, but in exceptional cases and for short periods, be high enough to warrant the producers to rely upon it as a means of purchasing those supplies which can be raised at home. "Very respectfully, J. Z. George." It is impossible to nrevent a cough and cold in the winter season. A draught of air, the going out of a fire or any sudden change of the tempera ture of a room is sufficient to produce such a result.

Twenty years senatorial experience matched against twelve months! A statesman versus a politician! The re sultof such a contest between such par ties is easily foretold. The smoke of the clash of arms in the democratic sentorial caucus, last week has drifted into Newspaper Row,and,as the puffs disapperar, the prostrate form of the senior senator from New York is clearly discernable. Hill shied his .castor into the senatorial ring and it was met by Matt Ransom's glittering lance andnow the senators among themselves are, discussing how the venerable North Carolinian worsted the Goliath of the New York machine. Highest of all in Leavening Power..! La'test U. S - ' - " T ' ABSGUTELY !PM Ransom evidently favored ' the election of Cox, of Norh Carolina for secretary of the senate. ' Hill,, it is believed, favored the' selection 'of Washington, of Virginia, who' became notorious by his letter published some time ago in the Cincinnati Enquirer, denouncing Grover Cleveland. When the Democratic senatorial caucus met Tuesday, one week t ago, Ransom was in favor of having nominations made immediately, but on objection by Hill the caucus postponed action until last Tuesday. Ransom once more presented Cox's name and Hill J again opposed action.; This brought the North Carolinian to his feet in a twinkling and Hill is said to have gotten the worst drubbing ever re ceived in the senate. Cox,, as is known, was elected and Washington's name was not even presented, i , "Brace Up." ' -; Is a tantalizing admonition to those who at this season feel-all tired out, weak, without appetite and discour aged. But the way in which Hood's Sarsaparilla builds up the tired frame and give a good appetite, is reallv wonderful. So we say, "Take Hood's and it will brace you up ." A Surprised Man From Georgia. - A tall, lanky youth from Georgia, a; few days ago paid his first visit to Wash ington, and through the offices of a young friend, a reporter on a local daily, man- cered to gain considerable information concerning the city and its infinite phases of life. Being together in the lobby of the house, the Georgian suddenly grasped his newspaper friend by the arm, ex claiming in awed excitement: "Look! Look there! Isn t that Speaker Crisp!"- ' .' ' "Yes, that's the speaker," replied the reporter. "Who's the great man with him?", asked the youth. "Oh, that isn't any great man," said the reporter; "he's a newspaper man, the same as I am." . , . . "What!" shouted the amazed and hor rified Gieorgian, "do yon mean to tell me Speaker Crisp stands there talking and laughing with a reporter, just as if he were another great statesman?" "I certainly do." ' "But you must be wrong. See, the speaker lias even placed his hand on Ms shoulder, just as if he were a senator or something of that kind." ( "Yes; I see all that." "And yet you say that man is only a reporter?" , "That's his position in life, but he is the most intimate with Mr. Crisp of all his many friends." This last bit of information seemed to stagger the young man completely. He gazed sorrowfully upon the sad specta cle of familiarity between the great man of his state and the unheard of newspa per man, and shaking his head sadly with melancholy impressivness-said: . "And to think that that man down our way id next to God!" Washington Post. . Taxing and Charity. If utilitarianism is to rule, giving must be regulated lest it impoverish the rich or pauperize the poor, while if Christi anity is to rule it" must be left free, ob ligatory only as worship is obligatory or unselfishness. There is no objection to utilitarian benevolence that we know of, and in one direction better sanitary laws we should support it very strong ly, and for Christianity, whether as re gards almsgiving or anything else, we have only reverence. ' But the present muddle between the two is too bewilder ing. Taxes levied iu the name of Christ, on one class alone, and tliat a powerless one, for the benefit of another class which is all powerful, excite, we must confess, ' a strong suspicion, and such taxes are proposed by one philanthropist or another every day. We are not objecting, be it under stood, to new taxes for the poor. We have little doubt that the present wave of . "socialism" or "collectivism," or whatever it is, will leave behind it sev eral such taxes, and that some of them will be beneficial, but do not let us be told that they are levied because God "loveth a cheerful giver." That is either sickening hypocrisy, or, as is more fre quently the case, is the result of a gelat inous kind of flunking which is entitled to no respect whatever. If you give, give; if you tax, tax; but dd not muddle up the two into a sort of sweet electuary of charity which is neither food nor medi cine, but only a quack device pretending to be both. London Spectator. An Honest British Workman. If it had not been for the honesty of a British workman, the citizens of London might have been victimized in a Way somewhat similar to that in which Bill Stumps hoodwinked Mr. Pickwick. For 200 years there has stood in Panyes al ley an obscure passage' near Newgate street a weatherworn stone figure of a pannier or baker's basket, with a boy seated upon it, and the inscription, "When yon have sought the city round, yet still this is the highest ground." The Londoners cherished this relic. They would as soon think of neglecting to take their country cousins to view the Tower as to omit to give them a isight of this rude piece of sculpture. . .j . , ; But a wily American perhaps an en thusiastic antiquarian, perhaps a New York showman, or perhaps only moved by the love of being what the Americans sometimes call "smart" tried to. do a deal with the laborer who was demolish. ing the wall in which the stone stood. He brought a Btone exactly like the old one and off ered the workman 50 if he would give him the ancient mark and replace it by the replica. But the Brit ish workman did not understand , any distinction between a smart deal like this and theft, so he quietly informed the authorities. Panyers stone is now being closely watched. London Letter. S. Gov't Report. n o ' mm 7TI A Shocking Exhibition. ' ; On the evening of Jan28-we were in vited to attend, the Wpman's Press club of New York. ; We should like to ask our readers to compare notes with us respect jng yvhat, we saw In the little time we were there. We noticed a . number of worthy women whom we esteem very highly for their attainments. These women "were becomingly dressed. . There were certain persona present, however, who evidently personated "la dies" according to their own notion. " Our experience may have been limited in witnessing the ultra fashion of decol lete display. Thcro were at least two 1ady" "women, probably between the ages of 35 and 65, who on this occasion were very curiously indelicate to behold! One, either intentionally or unintention ally seemed an attempt to represent an emaciated physical wreck of a fashion able lady. : The other illustration of aji imal life reminded ns of "The Sleeping Beauty", six years ago the figure of a woman, whose bust palpitated with ma chinery inside the frame. , We have attended a number of public displays of this sort, but have never wit nessed anything so repulsive and shock ing as was witnessed at the Woman's Press club recently. How the animated figure of the "lad'" performed the pal pitation act without exhausting fatigue, from a physiological or hygienic stand point, is quite incomprehensible to us. We regret that many earnest Christian women, as well 'as women of ordinary moral integrity, who were absent, could not be present. Trains aud lace draperies were dragged over the bare board floors for jtfie' privilege of exposing them to the gaze of the honored guest of the evening, the Rev. Dr. McGlyun, who paraded back and forth wearing the smile of resig nation at the disgusting show. It may have been best that so many of the good and noble press women of the metropolis were; not to be found in the audience for even , two minutes lest they might be supposed to give countenance to snqh disreputable display of the so called press women ' of New York city. Church Union. Representative Reed's Wit. , ' Ex-Speaker Reed spoke for a few min utes when the proposition before the hoxisfl was whether ' or not the house should take a vote on the Andrew-Cate banking bill, which, amdng.pther things; repealed the Sherman silver act. Mr. Reed was in favor' of repeal. ' He declared the Sherman act to be a compromise measure passed for the time being', "as, indeed," he added, "all legis lation upon complex human affairs must he." He expressed his opinion' that the Sherman act is now one of the obstacles which prevent bimetallism all over the world. "I think." said Mr. Reed, "almost every reasonable man who has hot talked so much about this question that he has ceased to think believes that whenever bi metallism is sustained it must be upon the shoulders of the whole world." As he uttered the phrase,' "Every rea sonable man who has not talked so much about this question that ho has ceased to think," he looked across the hall to where Mr. Bland sits. The members fol lowed him and became convulsed with laughter. The laughter died out, and then As the neatness of the phrase a true epigram struck them they renewed their laughter. Washington Cor.

It is a never failing delight to stop by a certain Broadway . window where the photographs of celebrities are displayed and listen to tho comments of tlie on lookers.

Now, the candid observer must admit that the likeness is brutally frank to two beringed washerwomen, with hands like boxing gloves and fishy eyes above puffy cheeks that seem never to have peered beyond the dull day's trivial round of toil. Yet one woman was Jjeard recently to exclaim, pointing the royal ties. -out ecstatically to a companion, "Ah, there's no denying it; blood will teli." ; - It seems a sad commentary upon the clinging superstition of blue blood's po tent effects that almost the only one among the large number of coroneted heads there on display that is not heavy jawed, dull eyed and thick lipped is a notorious dance hall girl, whose viscount husband lias secured a divorce. And she has a' face like . a flower. New York Times. Discipline In Card I'laying. Though it is decidedly a bit of bad ' form to exhibit any temper over the mia- play of one's partner at euchre er whist, it is still only human to look put out when things are going all right for your side, and by a ridiculous and silly play your partner destroys the possibility of your winning. Therefore' we contend that the fashionable card party is not, after all, the frivolous and sinful indul gence that some people consider it, but the very best training school of manners and morals that exists in polite society. At any rate the man or woman who plays an entire evening with never once giving expression either by look or word to the vexation that is in possession of them are paragons of patience and for-. bearance who deserve first prize, though they never score a game.

Last winter my daughter Sallie was taken sick with "typhoid, fe ver and was confined to her bed for several months. She had been given up to die tor several times, but with the helpofour Creator.got better. Aftershe "fcorwelL of the fever she was left quite blind ; ir! fact she was so bad off that she could not see anything before her. all she could tell was betwixt daylight and dark. One day an Ophtalmic Doctor came to see her and pronounced -her nearly blind. Then he persuaded me to take my daughter down to Fay etteville, but she was so feeble that she was not able to go. So I was vr suaded by her friends to get you to come out to my house, and youexam ined her eyes, treated her accordingly, and fitted her witli glasses, and she soon went to read and could read the smallest print, in fact she could read out of a small testament. That was surprising to everybody wno saw her pronounced blind. But now she can see as well as anybody, and with -the help of Almighty God and your treat ment, she is restored to sound sight. I cannot say enough in your favor and hope this will induce others to try your treatment before giving up all hopes of recovery. I am sir, your obedient servant, Allec Wade.
