The weather was lovely, the crowd was immense, and the Association was all that could be atked by we poor helpless creatures.

ARE RIO HT ; TARBOROV N. g THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9. 1890. hiaie Joins the ' Democratic larty. Frank D. Winston who was nomi nated by the republican party for Judge in this district writer a strong, and clear letter to chairman Eaves withdrawing his name fur tue posi tion and announcing his intention to vote the entire democratic ticket. His words employe! in denounc ing the devilish efforts of the repub lican Congress to perpetrate fraud upon the people of tbe country, are forceful and unmistakable. He, as a Southern man, ca . s that he cannot remain with and wive his support to a piny that continues to oppress the people wtth the pre tence that they are endeavoring to benefit them. Such corruption and delusiou he denounces in tbe se verest language and declares that henceforth h? will voe the Demo cratic ticket. . He says that the tariff laws as passed by the fifty first Congress are a menace to tbe laboring classes of the South and he will no longer vote with a party that utterly disregards the welfare of the people and only works iu the interest of a favored few. He diree'ed some sledge-hammer blows at the republican leaders who continued in their efforts to oppress the people with their iniquitou3 laws and said that the passage of the Force b 11 'would be a severe me naee to the whol-i country. A. Few More Words, The Southekneb wi-!ifB to say jost a few moro word-, to the people of Edgecombe county regarding tbe coming fair, wmcn will open the 28th instant. on It is time now that you were pre pared for the event with your largest best and finest exhibits. Its success depends upon the support you will give it. And now the Southerner wishes to say to all if you have not prepared your exhibits, do so at once. It is believed that the Fair this year will be tbe grandest and best ever held and why shouldn't it be We have all the railroad facilities that could be desired and splendid crops and there is no reason that the eo ruing Fair .will not be the grandest of any ever held in this sec tion of the State. The Fair is only two weeks off. Now get to work at once and urge your neighbor to do likewise. Water and Light. lhe town commissioners Tuesday evening met Mr. Cox and virtually closed the contract with him for water for the entire town upon terms almost identical with those given in the Southekneb heretofore. A.gree:ng upon the price to be paid ifor the present water plant is all that stands in the way of a com. plete contract, Mr. Cox is anxious to pu ifr an electrict light plant at the same tini. He off-rs to furnish 60 incandescent lights for $900" a y. ar. This will pat a light wherever oie is now and give the town five times the light. This is the opportunity of the commissioners. The additional cost of lights, five times better than what we have, will not exceed $400 or $500. There is every probability that an ice factory will be run in connection with these two plants. Another inducement for lights. Hamilton Notes. Our farmers have been wearing long faces, caused by the rainy weather; couldn't pick co ton, dig peanuts or do anything else but bring cotton to town. The stockholders of the Hamilton railroad held their annual nefsion here Thursday. Several gentlemen from Tarboro were here, among them Judg Howard, S.

The revival at the Methodist church continues with great interest and there are large congregations at the night meetings. Last night the revival was well attended and Rev. Mr. Lee deliv ered a sermon that went direct to the hearts of his hearers. He told the members of the church of the importance of attending the meetings and appealed to them to work mere zealously and faithfully for the religion of Jesus Christ. He said there was too much luke-warm nss among the church members, and he implored them to engage their time more in the interest of church work. His remarks to the congregation were delivered with much force and fervor. EPOCH.

MARTIN, Co in in', a mw U0W TO M A SWELL T TtOESlf T TAIL B JH UCfl MOXEY TO DRESS WEZL. Ailvicn from a Mao Who Knows How How (o Take Care of Clothes So That They'Will Look Tidy A Little Time and I'ain.s Needed. "it will surprise you to hear me as sert, said one of the best dressed men in Washington, "that the average man of very moderate means could dress handsomely on the same amount of money that he spends in being a slouch. At all events, with the expenditure of a very few additional dollars for clothing, he might always be well attired. What he needs is the ' know how ' and the will ingness to take pains. Most men are ill dressed through sheer laziness; they will not take the trouble to be otherwise. How many married men . do you know who are habitually well dressed ? " "Precious few," admitted the news paper man. "I should say so. And if you ask such a slouch why he doesn't pay more atten tion to dress he-will 'almost invariably tell you that he has. not the means to be a swell, even if lie had not so many seri ous responsibilities in life of more impor tance than the decoration of his peison. yhe explanation sounds very plausible; but the fact is that it takes only a little more time to dress oneself well than to dress oneself badly, and means, .as I said before, are not needed if a man knows how and will take the trouble. I dont know any tiling much better worth taking pains about than dress up to a reasonable point. It is a source of happiness to the wearer and of gratification to others; it makes a man more respected and is likely to help him in business; it is the outward and visible expression of the inward and spiritual grace. I, myself, have been obliged to make a study of the subject, because my income is so small that I must make every penny's worth of ex penditure for clothing do its utmost. But I don't spend any more money on what I wear than does many a fellow of my ac quaintance who goes around shabby and seedy. " "Pray, how do you manage it?" "I'll tell you. In the first place, let us consider how much it costs to be a slouch. By that term I mean to designate the typical man of moderate paeans, who buys his two suits of clothes a year he can scarcely get along with less and wears theju in such a manner that they never look new or nice, even when they are fresh from the tailor. He pays $110, say, for the two suits, and the boots, hats, and haberdashery that he must have run up the cost of his wearing apparel to $160" per annum, on which sum be succeeds in being always ill dressed. One hundred and sixty dollars per annum is precisely the sum I expend for my attire, includ ing every detail. Would you"" like to know how I do it ? " "Very much, indeed." ! "Two suits a year are all I can afford, but I get them of a lirst rate tailor, and inasmuch as I always pay him cash down he is willing to make me in his best style a walking suit of black diagonal with trousers of different material in a deli cate stripe for 60, and a sack suit of some pretty check with two pairs of trousers for 50. I make no varia tion in the thickness of the stuff used from winter to summer, because I wear the suits in all seasons; it is much easier to make the under clothing supply the difference in warmth that is requisite. The sack suit I buy new each spring, and it serves me as a business costume. But I do not wear the coat at my office ever. When I reach there I take it off at once, h 'g it on a nail, and put on a black silk coat, cost $3 for the year's wear, for the day. When I start for home I assume the sack coat again. The two pairs of trousers I wear alter nately, and so they are made to last through with care. The cutaway suit T wear when I am out anywhere in the evenings and on Sundays, or when I have leisure for taking a walk abroad. And here comes the first important point. I never wear either of my two good suits while at home save wheu there are guests or at dinner. Upon returning from a walk on Sunday, for instance, I take off my eoat and waistcoat without delay and hang them up; the trousers I put away, folded, on the closet shelf as if they were not to be used again for months. After dinner, unlf ss I am go ing out, I go through the same per formance, never wearing my best clothes in the house an unnecessary moment. The suits of the year before, always in a good state of preservation, are for home use. It is really astonish ing how long clothing will keep its fresh and new look when treated in-this way. " "But my clothes always get spots on them. " " That is something which should never be permitted to happen; there is no good reason or excuse for it Care will pre vent it. Grease spots and good dressing are incompatible. There ia a popular delusion, apparently, to the effect that grease spots come out when subjected to Highest of all in Leavenmg Power. ABSOLUTELY PURE TWXV proper treatment As a matter of If act no real grease spot ever comes out of woolen cloth. Get such a spot on the front of your diagonal coat a splash of gravy at dinner will do it and you can never eliminate it by any means short of burning up the garment. You may send the coat to the cle'aner's and have it put through the dry' process arid the steam process and it will come back look ing like new, without a visible stain. But the grease is still there and as soon as it has had a chance to catch a little dust it becomes as conspicuous as ever. Therefore, realizing the indestructible quality of the grease spot, the man who would dress well must, by being always on his guard, avoid such afflictions. And they can be avoided successfully. But so far I have only told you how $113 out of my allowance for clothes of $160 is spent Up to this point I have only my two suits of swell garments and my black silk coat. " "And you have only $47 left?" "That is all, but it is plenty. Three pairs of nice looking shoes, always per fectly blacked, at $5 a pair, last me a year; three hats a silk, a derby, and a straw stand me in another $15. My hats always look new, because I take care of them and never wear the' silk one, lor instance, on a rainy day or otherwise than for very best Shirts, underclothes, collars and cuffs do not altogether, with careful mending at homo, run ovor $17 per annum, and that makes the $160 which I calculate my yearVapparol costs me. I have not in l ,:ld the cost of an overcoat in the es I'mate because I only need one once in Hire" year., and then it comes in ns a ?rt of unusual expense. My dress suit, t(K. I have had for six years, and it is in uch perfect condition that I expert it t :::t another sixl As for the overcoat, iu n.urit remember that Mr. Slouch lias lo h;: ve one, too, about as often, and he l ,ys as much for it probably, though he w -:irs it as if it were a sack. A dress sm. will last .any one indefinitely who Likes tare of it. But you must always liiniu; thmcrs up. When you go to !ed you must uot nang your coat and waisfc co.a (j vera cJiair or the foot of the couch, or they will ie wrinkled in the morning. They tdmuld be hung upon nails in the c'.oset, if no coat frames are handy, and th ' trou :evs should invariably be folded :i i i laid upon the shelf. In this way ti.ey art; kept from bagging at the knwi much longer. It is quite an art to fold a coat properly, but a pair of trousers has simply to be held dangling from the waistb:nd, with the two front suspender buttons pinched together, then laid on the bed as the legs naturally fall, and smoothed down into the creases they make of themselves; finally, the legs are folded over once, and the trousers are ready for the shelf. " "And the whole thing is done for $160 a year. " "Yes; with a little extra for neckties. You see it is scarcely $3 per week. Plenty of these fellows who say they can't afford to dress well spend more than that on cigars or billiards. But your natural born slouch would never be anything else if he had a million. " THE ORIGINAL BIIX. William F. Cody Kot tht rirst Buffalo Bill. There is probably no better known name throughout the entire length and breadth of this 'country than that of Buffalo Bill, and at this time there are but few who do not know that William F. Cody is the bearer of the title. Mr. Cody, however, is not the original Buf falo Bill. There is nothing under handed nor illegitimate in his bearing it He is fully entitled to it, but for all that he comes by it second handed. The original Buffalo Bill is now living, an aged, wealthy, prominent, and highly respected citizen and the president of a savings bank at Wichita, Kan. His name is William Matthewson. He is a thorough Democrat and is high up in the order of Odd Fellows. Years ago Mr. Matthewson was a bold frontiersman on the plains, engaged in hunting and trap ping for a living. He supplied the forts in Kansas and Nebraska with buffalo, and his success in this work was so great that he was given the title of Buffalo Bill. During this time he engaged a boy to work for him, and the lad was so ! diligent and faithful that he remained lin Matthewson's employ until the latter ' i J 1 1 J. . 1 4 T A . n quit uusiness uo bcilw uuvu w more .quiet life. As a reward the em ployer turned over the hunting contracts to the employee, who then followed in his late master's footsteps. That he was successful, that he earned honor, fame, and wealth for himself, can not be de nied when it is told that his name is William F. Cody. With the business rights he was given the title that his former employer had borne. The world knows he has kept it bright and that neither stain nor tarnish has touched it Chicago Herald. U. S.
