JANUARY 15, 1902, Nothinq Small About Him. The Richmond Dispatch pays the following compliment to our representative Hon. John H. Small: "It is said of Congress man Small, of North Carolina, who is an old newspaper man, that he has never forgotten his newspaper training, and from force of habit notes the impor tant happenings of each day's session of the House. He 1 Jakes it a rule, to answer every letter he receives the day he receives it—a most excellent thing in a Congressman or any other pub i lie personage. We are not particularly well acquinted with Mr. Small, but we know this, that in spite of his name, there is nothing small about him." WILL. NOT HIDE MY LIGH UNDER A BUSHEL.

Trade was phe nominal and the manufacturing protected and fostered by the enormous tariff tax had a great time and lead all other indus tries. Iron and steel did a great work, and the output of coal and coke surpassed all former records. The corn crop was short, prices went up, the holders got high rates paid mainly by the hard-worked bread-winners. A short sereal crop means money for the grow er and reduced rations for eater and buyer. Cotton closed at 8 cents. Bank transactions were enormous. In New York in one day deposits exceeded a billion dollars. Silver is low now— worth but 54 cents, but Uncle Sam orders that his mintage shall fetch 100 cents. A great life increased business was done. The U. S. Treasury never had before so much strength and surplus. And still the people are bled heavily and taxation continues to run exceedingly high. That passes for wisdom and statesmanship in the United States in 1902. What would Jefferson and Macon and the able, faithful fathers of 1810-35 have said of such unreasonable and false work. The secretary mentions what he did with the extraordinary surplus. He says : For the calendar year we show receipts in excess of the ordi nary expenditures amountiug roudly to $100,000,000. Such an excess might have resulted iu serious embarrassment had not the deportment been able by means of this surplus to reduce the public debt in large amounts." There is one view of the ques tion not to be overlooked. How ever high the taxes and stu pendous the revenue the con gress can easily open it all. The expenditures annually now are but little below $600,000,000 a year or some seven times more than President Buchanan required in 1860 for carrying on the government effectively and safely iu all departments. Pub lic economy is very much need ed. Public expenditure is as "easy as falling off a log." Put down the brakes.—Wilmington Messenger. OPENING OF WINTER TOURIST SEASON. The Southern Railway, which operates its own lines over the entire South and forms the im portant link in the great high way of travel between the North and South, Florida, Cuba, Mex ico, the Pacific Coast and Cen tral America, announces for the winter of 1901 and 1902 the most superb service ever offered. Its splendid regular service will be augmented by the Southern Palm Limited, a magnificent Pullman train, which will be operated between New York aud Florid*. STATE NEWS. Greensboro Telegram: Anoth er of Thomasville's chair facto ries was totally destroyed by lire on Sunday moning, Jan. 5. It was owned and operated by Thomas F. and Will C. Harris, under the firm name of tiie Climax Chair Company. The factory had been in operation a little more than two years, do ing a big buwuess, making about 250 chairs per day. The fire started in the office. Lo*s about. 9,000 with an insurance of 4,000. Marion dispatch in Raleigh News & Observer: About 100 j couvicts arrived here last Thurs day night on their way to Mitch ell county to work on the O. R. and C. R. R. This squad, with those that went over some months ago, make over two hundred that will be eugag* : on that road. I understand that they are within seven or eight mile 9 miles of Bakers ville, coming up Toe river, which will pgss within 2 miles of the latter place, and will con tinue up the river to Spruce Pine. I also understand tie surveying party turned from Spruce Pino down the Blue Ridge into McDowell county, following the North Catawb t river to within six or eiglr miles of Marion, which is, to appearrnces, the most practica ble route to either Wilmington or Charleston, connecting with the S. and G. R. R. at this place, which is the terminus of the latter. This whole route was once known as "The Three i C's." i Concord Tribuu&: Logan Cook, a young* boy about 15 years of age, on Sunday Jan. 5, attempted to cut the throat of another boy about the same age, by the name of George Blume, and as a result Blume's arm was nearly severed at the wrist. Shortly before Christmas Blume who is an orphan, - and Cook were out hunting and Cook, so Blume says, shot a negro. Blume remonstrated with liitn about it and angered Cook so that he told Blume that the next time he caught Jiim out he would kill him. On yesterday Blume and a companion were out. hunting toothbrushes, when Cook and a crowd of boys came on them and commenced to rock them. Catching up with them Cook drew his knife and made a lunge at Blume's throat, who threw up his hand, receiving the cut on his arm, cutting it to the bone. The wound wa sewed up and Blume comedown and swore out a warrant for Cook this morning. Greensboro Record : W 7 hen No. 30, a fast train from the South, arrived yesterday after-j noon, Charley Adair, the yard conductor at this place was as tonished to see a man—or some thing that looked like a man— on top of the cars. It was a cold berth, but the fellow was made to get up and leave his perch. When he straightened up it was seen that he was a Chinaman, but he was fleet of foot and a pack of deer hounds could not have caught him Saturday night a car load of Chinese passed here under guard being sent back To San Francisco for deportation. They were gathered iu at Norfolk an it is thought the lone Chinaman on top of the car had escape.r and was making his way to some place where he would n->1 be molested, and perhaps h was, for it was impossible to! catch him. It was cold on top of that car, riding at the rate oi -50 miles an hour in a temp, r ature of about 30, but he was able to run like a deer when lie hit the ground. Remarkable Cure of Croup A LITTLE BOY'S LTI'R SAVED. I have a few words' to say re garding Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It saved my liitle bov's life and I feel that 1 can not praise it enough. I bought a bottle of it from A. E. Stoerc, of Godwin, S. D., and when I got home with it the poor baby could hardly breathe. I gave the medicine as directed every ten minutes until he "thre-v up" and then I thought sure he would choke to death. We had to pull the phlegm out cf his. mouth iu great long striugs. I am positive that if 1 had not got that bottle of cough med icine, my boy would not be on earth to-day.—Joel Demont, Inwood, lowa, &or sale by Hood & Grantham.
