io hear-ex-Congressman r . M. Sim
mons J. J LJHtinao candidate for Regis
ter of Deeds, made a 'speech an
nouncing his candidacy aud grce
fully introduced Mr. Simmons.
Ia Barterfield and adjoining town
ships Mr. Simmons is very popular.
That he was warmly received then
goes without saying.
His speech was a good one and
did much go xl in enthusing the un
terrified Democrcy of Webb Tuwd.
He discussed the political issms in
his usual lucid style and concluded
with an exposition of the rights of a
citizen, whose duty it was to exer
cise his privilege of voting whenever
the opportunity came. He had
heard that he had many friends in
Barterfield, if they would still be
so they would vote for the Demo
cratic nominee because good citizen
ebip, good government demanded it.
The fact that Mr. Simmons will
leave tho district to make Winston
his home left not the slightest doubt
in tLe minds ot any that he was act
uated by tne best of motives, the
good of the people. During his
speech he was frequently interupted
with applause and received a regular
ovation when he concluded. '

There are many reasons why this
s '40 aid be the most successful fir
ever held in Tarboro.
To begin with; crops of every
character ithis year have been boun
tiful and armers are consequently
exuberant in spirit and unusually
flush of money.
Secondly; Tarboro is mors access'
ible from many quarters snd sec
tions of East Carolina than ever be
fore. The Norfolk4 and Carolina railroad
op 'ns a section of country that was
without direct connection with Tu-
boro heretofore.
The extension of the A. & R. E.
R. to Plymouth and water connee
tion at that point make it conve
nient for all who may desire to at
tend and make display.
The completion of the Scotland
Neck Branch to Greenville and to
Kinston will accomodate the people
cf ne of the moat fertile sections of
of the State.
It goes without saving that Tar
boro is one of the most, accessible
points in all the east.
Again, with its two commodious,
well equipped and admirably kept
hotels and its boarding houses enter
tainment for all is assured. Five
livery sta'ules will care for all horses
and then one of the pretieat towns
in the State is well worth a visit.
With these and many other ad
vantages not enumerated, -coupled
with the interest manifested general
ly, the reporter feels safe in pretLoU
ini one of the most enjoyable, edi
fying and instructive exhibitions on
28 b 29th 30th and 31st of October,
1890 ever spread for public delicta
tion. '
Everybody is cordially invited and
especially requested to bring bis- wife
and children bis uncles, cmsins and
aunts.'' ' ' ? .
Beware !
The business men of Tarboro, the
farmers of Edgeeombe.and indeed,
every man woman and child, in the
county who purchases a dimes worth
of u.erchandise of any description,
all are vitally interested, in subscribe
ing for the stock of the Hamilton
railroad.
They are only asked to lake $50,
000 of the stock, a controlling in
terest. The acquisition ol this road by
home people will ensure for all time
oheap freights on cottor, all maus
ner of produce aui every cla: s of
goods that enters into the daiiy use
and consumption of tbo people.
That the cpimnmer pays the
freight in the 'added coBt to tbe
price of goods purchased is a fact
patent to a half idiot. Tbe propo
sition simply pr ves iUclf canies
tbe full weight of argument in its
very statement.
Competition is not oidy the life
of trade, as the adage l as 1;, but the
correlative is fatally tiu.; it linguisti
cs without aiid with its decadence
goes the substarue of the people
who p-.y largely enhanced prices for
tbe want of it.
With all treigi.t line leading in
ihe couniy from foreign marie s
merged under one man .geinent,
does any ane in . 11 douur. tha ihe
maximum possible tariff w.l. 1 e im
posed ?
The poet sy : -
Kill a man's family tud he m iy brook
i.
But keep your hands m of his biec. lies
pocket.
So the material, pecuniary interest
of this entire people, individually
and collectively, is poignantly, per
tinently affected.
Beware, therefore, you. who have
tbe ability to take even or e share of
the Hamilton R. R. stock, befcc
you com mitt hari kari your finan
cial suicide and neglrt this, your
last opportunity to i"-z!e a cor
morant monopoly that will raise
freights on you.
Bew re before it is too late.
Mr. Hitch's proposition will be
open to the people of Edgecombe
only a fe'v days longer; tben the
proposition of the Atlantic Coast
Line will be considered. If it is ac

every man with a grain of brains
knows exactly what that means.
When that consnmation is effected
you may hug to your bosoms the
grim and gory reflection that you
'nursed tha pinion tbat impelled
the' steel."
Delay is dangerous and to doubt
is to be damned.

A GOLDEN OPPOBTON1TY VANISHING.
The mass meeting to purchase a con
trolling interest in the hamilton railroad
was fairly successful in attendance but
the re vers in subscriptions.
W. E. Fountain called the meeting to
o;der an I icquested W. L. Bailow to
preside,
II. L King and Frank Powell were
elected pecretaries. S. L.. Naeh explained
the object of the meeting He showed
what ihe cost of the road had been $96,
000, That Mr. Hitch wLo owns more
than ninety per cent, of the stock was
willing to sell a controlling interest in
the road and on terms which must be
conceded to be very liberal. ' He showed
how important it was that this communi
ty should get control, He was fol.owed
by Don Gilliam who amplified what Mr.
Nash had said. .
Mr, Gilliam's remarks ere well put
and his arguments were unanswerable, '
He first showed Ihe Interest the citi
zens of Tarboro had in it- Low freights
would enlarge the teritory from which
trade would come to Turboro. He cited
the time when the A. & R, before it whs
gobled up by tbe W. & VV. put d wn the
freights en meat and the merchants were
enabled to sell mea to all the neighbor
ing towns, successfully competing with
Richmond and other markets.
He next showed the interest of the
farmer who at last has to pay the freight.
Assuming that the fre'ght en cotton would
be lowered fifty cents on the bale, W. M.
Edmundson, who usually makes 200
bales would save annually $100. What
was true about cotton would apply 10
other commodit'es whether for shipment
to market or for djmstic consumption.
J, A. Davis was called for next. He
was exceedingly practical. He wanted
the road under control of the people who
would be most interested and was willing
to lake stock and if the road would le ex
leuded wi Eagles' stere he would double
up. Chairman Darlow offered tonne fig
ures showing not inly a saviug but a di
rect profit. Dr. J. H. Baker also spoke
in tavor of the road, but there wan s
much noise tbat he could not be heard
distinctly.
While nearly e ery one endorsed the
project there weie not so many to come
forward to take steck. At this writing
about 350 shares have been taken, juai
about a third of what is required.
There is no sentiment about this pros
pect. It is all business. The people can
see for themselvis whether they can af
ford to let it fail. t
Monday is the last day in which t' e
people will have their say, after tht tb
proposition made by the V. & W. road
to Mr. Hitch will be c nsidered.

ABSQUUTELY
A JIODKST UONANZA KING.
Shy Manner and Democratic Ways of
John W. Mackity.
The fast express from tbe West ha3
just rolled into the Grand Central depot.
There is the usual hurry and bustle and
the wild bhoutd of the cabmen. Ono of
the pa-seners who alights, takes his
val'se and umbrella inhisltand, and goes
alonjr, in a business like way, is one of
the wealthiest men in the world. It is
John W. Mackay, tha famous bonanza,
kintr. He has just returned from a trip
across the continent and an insiection of
Some of the mines he is interested in.
He is a refreshing sight in these days, for
he is a millionaire who shuns notoriety.
His fellow passengers never dreamed
who the quiet unassuming man w is who
sat in a corner of the car with his head
buried in a newspaper hour after hour.
When he reached the depot he made
no fuss, but quietly took up his baggage
and hurried away to his hotel. Ho did
not even take the precaution to telegraph
in advance for an elaborate suite of rooms.
He went to tbe hotel where he usually
stops, was assigned to a $5 a day room
on the Broadway side of the house, and
in a few moments was in the large dining
room enjoying a no mora expensive
dinner than the average drummer.
He is as shy as a school girl, makes no
pretense of wealth, keeps his own coun
sel, steers clear of reporters, and was
never known to give an interview for
publication. He never answers any of
the thousand begging letters that come
to him in the course of a month, pays no
attention to what his neighbors are do
ing, but rather minds his own business
a unique proceeding in this day. How
much money he' ia worth is still a topic
of speculation. His fortune is placed
anywhere from $80,000,000 to $200,000,
000. Perhaps the first sum is nearer the
truth. But nobody will ever know until
he dies. He has no confidants. He is
really the laft of the Big Four w"ho ruled
the mines of the West for so many years.
. It may be just as well right here to say
that there is one topic on which Mr.
Mackay talks to his most intimate friends.
That is his wife. He is as much in love
with her to-day as ever. There is noth
ing that delights him quite so much as
to read of "her social success abroad. That
she should have conquered even among
queens in the Old World is no small
feather in the cap of one who was once
a washerwoman in a mining camp. Mr.
Mackay is proud of her, but he laughs at
the newspaper reports of the ridiculously
large sums she i3 supposed to squander
on her entertainments abroad. And well
he may, for, while Mrs. Mackay enter
tains lavishly, she is not extravagant. It
is not unlikely that she may visit this
country during the summer. Augusta
Chronicle.
Bismarck's Wife.
Frau Dlsinarck is a famous housewife.
Her dinners have always been the best,
her home has always been a model of
neatness and comfort, her children have
been, most judiciously reared, and as a
hostess there is none in all the empire
that can be compared with her. Expert
with the needle, famous as a cook, an
angel in the nursery and at the fireside,
skilled in all social graces and accom
plishments, remarkable for her singular
piety, and addicted to benevolent prac
tices and charitable deeds, tlua lady is
perhaps the most conspicuous example
of womanly virtue that Germany affords.
When Bismarck speaks of "woman's
sphere" he has his wife's example in
mind, and the sphere he refers to is as
great and as noble as the example is
illustrious and that wife lovable. Chi

How Bullet Are Seen la Their Coarse.
By saturating the bullets with vaseline
they may be easily seen in their course
from rifle to target. Their trajectory
course is marked by a beautiful ring of
smoke, caused by the vaseline ' being ig
nited on leaving the muzzle of the gun,
the smoke being suspended for some time
in air if not too windy. Much better
scores result wnen grease 01 some sona
Tis used. Bullets are not so apt to split,
the recoil is not so great, and it is be
lieved the course of tbe missile is more
true. Ohio State Journal.
The X en tori ma Tablet.
The Nestorian tablet, which was dis
covered in Northwestern China in the
year 1625, is to have a suitable shelter
provided for it by the Chinese govern
ment. It records the prestige of the
Christian church in China in the eighth
century, and the adherence of the tben
reigning emperor to the new faith. That
such a relic should not long since have
been destroyed evinces a more tolerant
spirit on the part of the Chinese than
they have heretofore been credited with.

find my wife ? Is her condition serious ?
