Very few people realize that ex- travagance is the root of hard times, human and 'tis but; human to expect j ner of poisonous and decaying mat If we practiced less of the former we the man that has niven a breakfast to ! ter the trees, through their roots, act should not hear so much of the latter,. ajSQ provjde dinner and perhaps sup- in& aVtne while as connecting links nor is it the extravagance ot the per tOQ between the surface and the hidden rich so much as the extravagance of ye occupy a position midway be- strcms below. Of course, we know the poor which has such a baneful tween the two camps and ofter a con- that your own particular well is alright, efiect. Indeed a very rich man can venient medium between the people h! yes' but Just to make sure take scarcely be extravagant, (or extrava- an(j their so called servants. They ! a s'amPe ns water to some chemist gance may be simply defined as the d not to comnlain in person. ! and have lt thoroughly analyzed. If t 1 . r j ii. . namt 01 -spending more man uuc wu- afford. It is no extravance for George V anderbilt to spend a million dollars on his park at Biltmore, for he can aflord-.it.. It is not extrava- gant for the Dukes of Durham to spend $25,000, on a burial vault, for they have plenty of money. But it our neighbor Jones, who gets $75 per month, spends $50 on ' a hothouse or his wife's flowers he commits a so cial crime, and if Mrs. Smith, whose husband left her an estate Worth $5,- 000, puts a $500 tombstone over him, she has placed herself in the same ! catagory. These are extreme cases. We Hnn't thinlr mnnv mpn min thf ! selves building hothouses for their L L u; m.. wives, nor do we believe that widows are often reckless in the matter of tombstones, but m more every day aflairs we see around us the constant - spectacle of men and women know ingly spending more than they can afford. In dress, in food, in furni ure, in trips on the railroad, in all the various little things which make up the sum of life the spirit is mani fested. The general excuse is that: "So . and So does these things and hence I must do them." Whether they can ever pay the 'bill seems to , , S ! 5 be a secondary consideration an result js that deDts are incurred which eventually ruin both debtor j - anoT creditor. We cnnot shape our ; actions by the actions of others be cause we cannot know their circum stances but we know, or ought to know, our own aflairs and vi e might have the characterto manage those aflairs with honesty if not with ability. When we buy something vve cannot afford, we commit a crime against so ciety, we go in debt to the world, we display either ignorance or dishon esty. .. . S&me stroke of good for tune may cosne to our rescue but the chances are ten to one that vve lose that consciousness of integrity, that sense of independence .--which is the sure and great reward' of those who avoid extrav ;.;arrj'1 . A new exchange appeared upon our table this week in the shape of "Petersons Magazir.e lor August. It was heartily welcomed and its artistic arrangement thoroughly enjoyed. The number is full of beautiful illus trations and an abundance of good reading matter. Their article on the Cotton States International Expo- sitio is alone worth the price of the many times over. bool The Mora claim is practically set tied, the Spanish government agree ing to pay on September 15th. i. We have been informed that some Qt the articles that have recently ap peared in these columns, relative to certain matters of public duty on the part of the officials of the to wn and of g eneral interest to the citizens, have been Tegarded by said officials as un warranted and presumptuous interfer ence with matters that did not concern us. We wish to be understood in tnis matter, we appreciate me iact mat we have now, and for years have . . l , t .

' We feel for the official but our first duty is to the people. The official may resien. the Deoole may only become res:gned ' " FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC Sl'GARS. A great deal has been said and- written m re.erence to tne prooable result of the Wilson tariff bill on do- mestic sugars. Ulte an interesting article appeared in a recent copy of the Baltimore Sun on this subject. I The editors of that paper had a num-! ber-of leading sugar dealers inter- , , i . . viewed and the result was concisely ;. stated m this article. The dealers in domestic sugars were at first much embarrassed by the large sales of the imported granulated sugar, but they : , , . . , . , , soon found their trade coming back j to them. The imported stock could not be used in preserving, in candy making, nor for table use. It seems ! that in trvW to nmrlnr, , rh Qr ' . J 1 1 ; ticle " - f '"Ui luiei11 .-eignuors nave , omitted one of the most essential processes of refining, viz: that ot passing the substances through bone black. This omission leaves a large per cent, of impurities behind, which make up bulk but which not only do not add to the sweetning properties but actually cause canned fruits to ferment and spoil. Here is another instance in which vve find the highest priced goods the cheapest in the long run. Daxiel Bell, one of the leading ! citizens of Morehead City, N. C, died on Tuesday of blood poison. 10O Reward $100 The readers of this paper will be ' pleased to learn that there is at least j one dreaded disase that science has j been able to cure in all its stages, and ! that is Catarrh.

How long can she hold this enviable distinction? This question can only be answered when it is known when we shall awaken to the necessity of proper sanitary condi tions. With every day that passes the soil of the town becomes more and more impregnated with the pois onous germs of disease and death. Scientific research has shown over and over again that three-fourths of of sickness is directly traceable to the you drink. If tha: be pure, the chances are that vnii will remain free j from sickness; if, onihe contrary, the water be" foul; then look out for chills. ' . . . - uoulw' w u"u,p lk n- Is lt kt all strange that your I well ot water is poisoned when you stoP to consider that the streams which feed it are at best only a few yards beneath the surface of the ground, on which is thrown all man- it does not contain substances of a nature calculated to - poison the sys tem, Alien we will pay all the expense and ihrow in a year's subscription to our paper as a chromo. Make the test, if you dare. A FREE PRESS ? I S me of the State papers are growing eloquent over what they are P-ed to term "the last greatest crime or the century, the release of the N. C. R. R... 73, that magical combination, has, for a time, lost its prestage in this last great cry of "Wolf." Is it not time to give some credit for honesty? it seems to us that the press of the country has resolved itself into one ? .?.

WE NEED IT We notice by some of the papers that an effort Is being made to revive the whipping post in the State of New York. There is no use for anybody to deny that there is a class of petty offenders on whom this method of punishment could be visited with great and everlasting good. To say that the whipping post is barbarous and cruel is more bosh than anything else. The truth of the matter is the tendency of the times in too much to ward moral suasion, when in fact more tangible punishment should be meted out. . We have contended for some time and do so now that we ought to again have the whipping post m the State. We may be wrrong, sbut we do not believe so. Speaking on this subject the Dur ham Recorder truthfully jerna rks : "An attempt is being made to re vive the the whipping post in New York State. The Recorder would like to see this mode of punishment for petty offenses introduced into North Carolina to take place of our present expensive system, which, in a majority of instances, carries with it no shame and accomplishes noth ing in the way of reforming the habitual law breaker." -Exchange. Arthur Tuttle, the negro who shot and killed Policeman Vickers last May at Winston, was sentenced Thursday to twenty-five years impris onment. His counsel did not offer a motion for a new trial.: Fifty negroes who participated in the riot last Sun day night are in jail. The grand jury has returned over one hundred true bills against parties connected with the aflair. It is estimat' d that two hundied negroes have left Win ston since the riot.
