C., April 25.— The rich gold mine near Troy, which was dis covered some time ago, has been sold to J. C. Moser & Co., of Harrisburg, Pa., the price paid being $24,000. .Last week the mine yielded SB4O. The ex penses for the week were only S3O. A rich nugget was found near this point a few days ago. Several mines have recently been reopened. I General satisfaction is expressed here at the promotion of Mr. W. E. Christian to the management of the Seabotird Air Line's business at Atlanta. He was for several years a resident of this city, and has many friends all through this St^te. Report has it that the Great Eastern railroad, that is now being built from Fremont to Snow Hill, will be extended east to Englehard ar.d west to Ra leigh. An interesting case is being argued in the Supreme Couit. It involves 864 acres of the estate of the late Paul Cameron, who was the State's wealthi est citizen. The lower court awarded Captain R. B. Peebles and others 84 acres, and George Graham and others 600 acres. Some of the deeds and titles of the lands involved go back to tha time of Charles 11. Both sides appeal ed to the Supreme Court. At Oxford J. M. Bullock, of Stem, is suing the Western Union Telegraph Company for SS)O damages. A tele gram was sent from Darlington, S. C., teiling him he was appoint 1 to a posi tion paying $lO a month. The tel?gram was misplaced, and Bullock lost the po sition. The Albemarle x-urniturc and Manu facturing Company has been charteie.l. with a capital stock of SSOOO. A furni ture factory will be built. At Cree..more, Granville county, Walter Gardner murdered his haif brother, William Gardner, and dragge) his body to a place of concealment in the woods, burying it and ci.ve; ing / with leaves. The body was discovered some days after the murder. T'u murder is said to have occurred ovei the attentions of William to Walter'* wife. They had a quarrel and Waltet killed him. A large party of local sportsmen en- Joyed a fox-chase this morning. The fox was secured from Moore county, and gave them lively sport. Captain C. C. Bunch, of Raleigh, who has been quartermaster, has been pro moted to assistant quartermaster-gen eral, with the rank of major. Captain Bunch is an efficient and faithful offi cer, and his promotion is deserved. Raleigh lawyers and insurance men will play a game or baseball for iha benefit of the Old Ladies' Home. A number of prominent citizens will play on one team or the other. Cieorge E. Howard & Co.. of Wash lntton, have issued a pamphlet of re cent poems by John H. Boner, who wrote Poe's "Cottage at Fordham." and a number of other poems more or less >veil known. Mr. Boner was at one time m ting editor of the Literary Digest, in New York, and was one of the editors of the Standard Dictionary. He is the best known poet North Car olina has produced, and his friends will regret to know that he has been ill for some time, and is coming South again to recuperate his health. Mr. Bobert Norwood, a well-known citizen of this county, died last night of small-pox, contracted while he wai serving on the grand jury of the Su perior Court in this city. Durham is considerably disturbed over the report that Mr. B. N. Duke, Dne of the wealthiest millionaires in the St'ite, wi!l remove to New York. He lias purchased a handsome residence in Nuv." York, it is understood, and will spend at least a portion of his time there. His removal would mean a se rious loss to Durham, as he has been one of the leaders in its industrial de velopment. Mr. F. B. Arendell, until recently gen eral manager of the penitentiary, ia very ill at his home in this city. His condition is not improved. Dr. Carl Hoffman, director of music at the Baptist Female University, in the chapel of that institution, to-night delivered an illustrated lecture on "Music and Mood." The lecture is il lustrated by numerous examples from the best composers, performed by members of the music faculty of the liniversity. The old arsenal building, which has long been an eye-sore, marring tha beauty of the Capital Square, is to ba abandoned and may be condemned as unsafe. Colonel F. A. Macon, quarter- i master-general of the State Guard, is removing the property and equipments of the guard from this structure to a building rented on Hargett street. The city authorities may condemn the old building and cause it to be removed from the square. The local fans are hot against Um pire Davis, whose decisions caused him to be almost mobbed at the ball park yesterday afternoon. He called a run- ' per safe and had the run scored, who never touched the home plate. And he gave one close decision to Portsmouth and decided exactly the same thing . against Raleigh. The directors have entered formal notice against him. The Governor has appointed as Boar.! Of V isitors to the Agricultural and. Mechanical College Charles W. Gold, Wilson: W. J. Peele, Raleigh: R.

MAY, 1 1901, North Carolina First. It is a great pity that our good State has been so carelrss |iu preserving her own glorious I history. Virginia furnishes a good example of State prido In which we are so sadly deficient. I In the great struggle for South ern independence how small a part North Carolina plays in history. And yet she was the bravest and the best of all! She was "first at Bethel and last at Appomattox." No other State furnished so many soldiers in 'proportion to population and ; none stood more bravely by the I cross! But how fragmentary j the matchless record of North j Carolina in that tragic time? j Some day it will be gathered j up, as much as can be fouud, I and the world will be thrilled ; with the wondrous story of the j heroism of her sons and" daughi | ters. As it was in the war be i tween the States, so it was in j ihe period of the Revolution. | In that great struggle she led | all the States of the Union. | Her sons shed the first blood, held the first convention bidding' defiance to King George and re- I nouncing allegiance to the I I crown, wrote the first declara-! tion of independence, and burn- j |ed all the bridges behind her; without asking the aid or con sent of any of her sisters. These and many other great events in the history of North Carolina will be emphasized at the Guilford Battle Ground, near Greensboro, on the fourth of next July. A splendid mon-j ument will be unveiled that; [day which should have been erected a hundred years ago. On four sines of the monument near its base, on bronze tablets, the proud record of our during the years 1771 to 177(5 will be inscribed. It is enough to thrill any North Carolinian through and through to read i this matchless story. The I State is deeply indebted to! Judge David Sciionck and Maj.j J. M. Morehead of Greensboro, for this labor of love. Many citizens have contributed to make this B;;ttle Ground a cen ter of historic interest, but these two have led in the good work A museum of rare and valuable j relics and papers has been gath ered, and altogether the Battle Ground is lxcoming not only a beautiful but a very sacred p'ace.

The Baltimore Manufacturers' Record pays a very poor com pliment to the intelligence of Southern business men when it seeks to bar the way to com pleter and more cordial com mercial and industrial under standing between the people of the North and South by appeal to political sectionalism and misunderstanding. Our Balti more contemporary has been very pertinently and properly rebuked by the New Orleans Picayune, which declares that the Southern people are not going over to the Republican party and are not going to sup port the ship subsidy grab at its suggestion, but that they propose in every proper way to take a part in national affairs, whether to help inaugurate a President or to get their share of all public benefits that may grow out of harmonious effort] and understanding. Evidently the Baltimore Manufacturers'! Record had better stick to its i manufacturing. —Philadelphia Record. Send us one dbllar and get THIS DEMOCRATIC BAW'WKB. t - Prove all things; hold fast that which is good." The Future of The Negro. ; In Washington Thursday the j financial board of the African |M. E. Church discussed the fu ture of the negro in this coun try and his present condition in .all sections of the country. Bishop Arnett declared his race could no longer be on the char ity of the world, but should de pend on their own individual efforts. "We cannot afford," he said, "to have ourracegoing around begging. Put your together and go into business ; make places for your boys and girls." No sounder advice has ever been given a people. If any one doubts it let him take the towns of the South. Those which have prospered most in vested their own money and did not wait and beg for foreign capital to come build them up. As long as an individual, a com munity or State relies upon out side aid, just so long will it be at a disadvantage. So it is with the negro. He must be made to realize that a man is the architect of his own fortune, and that there is no lasting success without great labor. A Bishop Arnett is needed in every county in the country.— Tarboro Southerner. Seven Years in Bed. "Will wonders ever cease?" inquire the friends of Mrs. L. Pease, of Lawrence, Kan. They knew she had been unable to leave her bed in seven years on account of kidney and liver trouble, nervous prostration and general debility; but, "Three bottles of Electric Bit ters enabled me to walk," she writes, "and in three months I felt like a new person." Wo men suffering from Headache, Backache, Nervousness, Sleep lessness, Melancholy, Fainting and Dizzy Spells will find it a priceless blessing. Try it. Satisfaction is guaranteed by C. L. Wilson.

It is reported by reliable au thority that there is a woman living in the mountains of Oconee county, this State, who is 20 years old and has 14 chil dren and one grandchild. The womau married when only 11 years old and has enjoyed re markable health ever since. It is wonderful how those moun tain people ignore the law, yet they attach very little impor tance to any of the laws. They do just as they feel inclined to do regardless of the results, and it is very seldom that when any one violates the law it is ever known outside of their moun tain settlement, and while this woman has been married for 15 years it has very recently reached the outside world It is doubtful if there is a similar case any where on record.— Gaffuey, S. C., Special. What Smoking Costs. Basing our calculation on revenue returns, we find that the United States pays every year for cigars and cigarettes $186,500,000, and $20,000,000 for tobacco smoked in pipes. To this must be added the cost of chewing tobacco, $50,000,- 000, bringing the entire tobacco bill the year up to $'256,500,000. The total loss from fires in the United States last year was $120,000,000, so that tobacco costs more than twice as much as all the fires, great conflagra tions included.—Exchange. Children Should be Taught to be Thrifty. A saving bank account is a great incentive to thrift in chil dren. If one is begun for the baby, even with a very small sum, and added to through ohildhood and youth with a cer tain proportion of the money that otherwise would be spent carelessly and thoughtlessly by the child, there will be a very respectable amount on the credit side of the ledgei when the depositor is eighteen years old. The habit of self-denial is not the least of the substan tial beuefits that follow a wise economy of money. April Ladies' Home Journal. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. Tbe Kind You Have Always Bought CUBA. —._ ; Win. M. Curtis in Chicago ltec-onl- Heralil. Cuba has a population of about 1,500,000, of whom 910,- 000 are native whites, 142,000 foreign whites, 224,000 pure blooded negroes, 286,000 mulat toes or half-breeds and 14,000 Chinese. More than 60 per cent, are unable to read or write, and having always been subject to tyranny, do not pos sess the slightest comprehension of self government. They are easily influenced and subject to great excitement. They have a passion for military display and a love of show. "Cuba Libre" is a meaningless term to them, but is nevertheless their shib boleth, and under the skillful manipulation of military dema gogues the emotion, which is called patriotism, can be easily aroused, but they have no army, no navy, no money, no guus, no ammunition, and it would be a difficult matter to organize them. Laying on of Hands. An exchange says that "lay ing on of hands" fjp compli ments, especially iu children, is now taking the place of Christian science. A mother cured her son of using Profane language with one dose. She laid her left hand on the boy's neck, her right hand on a sub stantial slipper, and then laid the slipper where it would do the most good. It effected a cure, and a relapse is not looked for. Planting Everything in Cotton. A gentleman remarked : Our farmers are planting every available acre in cotton. Ten cent cotton has made them wild on the subject. They frequent ly pass my gate in wagons loaded with all kinds of fertili zers singing: "In the Sweet Bye and Bye," but next fall I expect to see them hauling their 5-cent cotton to town singing : "Show Pity Lord, Oh! Lord Forgive!." Now, is this not about the size of it?— Washin gton Messenger. Senator McLaurin, of South Carolina, finds some difficulty and entanglement in skipping from the Democratic into the Republicau fold'. No such hindrance appears to bar the way of Representative Skinner, of North Carolina, who has turned from Populism to Re publicanism. He takes his dose—protection, subsidy and expansion—without a grimace. It may be said, however, that a man accustomed to swallow the Tom-and-Jerry mixtures of the Populist doctrinaires must have acquired a seasoned throat. Philadelphia Record. The Public Gallows a Century Ago. Even if the bicycle had been invented a hundred years ago, touring could hardly have be come very popular, at events for solitary cyclists. The old guide books were by no means cheerfull reading. • A run from London to East Grinstead, a distance of five or six and twenty miles, would have taken the wheelman past three gib bets, and it was just as likely as not that from one or the other of them a body would be swinging in the wind. Up till the beginning of the century just closed the gallows was al most as frequently a landmark as finger posts or public houses have become now. The travel er approaching York is direct ed by the guide books to "turn round by the gallows and three windmills," and the road out of Durham is "between the gal lows and Corkehill." Going out of Wells you "cross the brook and pass the gallows." Any number of such directions can be gleaned from the old books for the guidance of trav elers a hundred years ago, and as these interesting objects were put up and the dead bodies of malefactors left upon them for special edification of foot pads and highwaymen, there was a suggestiveness about them that must have given a special piquancy to cycle tour ing if it had been in vogue at that time.—London News. ♦ : OASTOH.IA.
