It r>idn’t Boom.
That harmony dinner in New
York the other day has caused
many of the leading papers of the
country to name it a “Hill boom. **
Hill has been looking with long
ing eyes to the presidential
chair, but his chances for suc
cess are no better than they have
been all along, and those who en
deavored to boom him at that
notable gathering failed to arouse
the enthusiasm they expected
and so long wished for.
Then some one undertook to
create a stampede by declaring
that Gorman is the logical candi
date, but this failed to cause any
commotion^
The views of both Hill and Gor
man are antagonistic to those of
thousands of good democrats all
over the country. Neither of
these gentlemen will ever have
opportunity of occupying the
White House.
Judge Cochran, of Missouri,
considers Senator Bailey, of
Texas, as the man whom the
democrats should name as their
standard bearer. But Bailey is
handicapped by being a southern
man; and although the ablest of
the three mentioned, he will not
be considered.
The convention of 1904 is a
long way off, and the man who
will secure the nomination is
probably not in sight.
Those who brought about this
“harmony dinner” couldn’t have
conceived such a plan in 1900,
and its failure to bring about the
desired results is nothing more
than could be expected.

A Valuable Medicine
For coughs and colds in children.
‘I have not the slightest hesitancy
in reeom mending Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy to all who are suffer
ing form coughs or colds,*’ says C.
M. Ciamer, Esq., a well known
watch maker, of Colombo, Ceylon.
“It has been some two years since
the City Dispensary first called my
attention to this valuable medicine
and I have repeatedly used it and it
has always been beneficial. It has
cured me quickly of all chest colds,
it is especially effective for children
and seldom takes more than one bot
tle to cure them of hoarseness. I
have persuaded many to try this
valuable medicine and they are all
as well pleased as myself over the
results.’*

Th^ sociologist says that the
womaid who goes into commercial
life a« a competitor with men is
bound to unsex herself, for trade
is as bard as nails. Verily the
sociologist will have to recall this
statement wjien he meets Miss
Majr Williamson. She is a self-
made woman; she is a personal
ity to' be reckoned within the big,
hard, busy trade world of New
York City, and she is a manufac
turer, with ambitions and abili
ties that her masculine rivals
take very seriously indeed. She
manufactures women’s dress,
not for the individual, but for the
huge retail dry goods houses all
over the United States, and she
designs the frocks that her work
rooms turn out by the great
gross. Less than five years ago
she inade her start in New York
city, and if any plucky, able
young man ever made a more
modiest beginning and ever rose
more promptly to the dignified
independence of standing at the
head; of his own business, we
would like to hear about it.
Miss Williamson entered the
strenuous life of commerce as a
mod^l in a tailoring house. It
was A humble enough beginning,
but ^er talents found her out,
and j^he was called to assist in
crea^ hOg the success of a newly
form*^ firm of manufacturers.
For tjwo years now she has been
at th^head of her own plant, and
frienls and rivals admit that her
iiate success proves that
[itual insight, ready judg-
>1 daring and unconquor-
sity there is hardly a

Fishermen in Hard Liuck.
Murfreesboro Index.
The fishermen on the Chowan
and Meherrin rivers are in hard
luck. The run of fish thus far is
so poor it does not pay to operate
the seines. The seines at Mt.
Gallant and Barfields were put
in this week, but the hauls
amounted to only a few shad and
a dozen or so herrings. The
seines were taken out, but will be
put in again in a day or two when
it is hoped the catch will be bet
ter. Mt. Gallant is operated by
Jordan & Parker and W. P. Tay

Shaw. The catch of fish on the
sound is said to be good.'

There is only one sword fac
tory in the United States, a
Massachusetts concern, and that
one has ample capacity for sup
plying the domestic demand for
swords. The saber lost its effi
ciency as a cavalry weapon as
far back as the war of the rebel
lion, and the increased range of
rifles has made the sword equally
obsolete'. It is about as danger
ous now as a bandmaster’s baton,
and serves much the same pur
pose.
