"A National Evil. " One of the peculiar, strange things among northern church , papers is their proneness to fail i to understand the- southern situation. They blunder when ever they write of the south, and really are not accurately informed as to the real con ditions existing, as they are of conditions existing in China or Congea. Read this from the Boston Congregationalist: "North Carolina. Wyoming and Colorado citizens lynched negroes last week. The time for sectional criticism on this matter has passed. It is a .national evil " The brief com- 1 ment of the Charlotte Stand ard is to the point exactly: Exactly so. And a national evil can only be cured by na-' tional protest against the crime which lynching avenges." Peo pie in the north, even in New England, will tlo as the so ; i;h does under equal provocation. If they had 8,000,000 of ne groes, and Boston was blessed with 100,000 or more, the whites would hang as freely in , 1902, as Massachusetts hanged! most cruelly old women once as witches. The Messenger for years has told the better class of negroes and ignorant north ern encouragers of rapes and murders in the south, that if l they would cease to defend; scoundrels and cause the crime? to cease that Judge Lynch's oc-j cupatioTi would be gone and ; the "cowri in the woods'' ad-1 journ si lie die. And ail this j ! would happen. Lynclii'igs arc j indeed a "national evil" and not strictly southern. —Wil- ; mington Messenger. STAND LIKE A STONE WALL.

As the Presbyterian aptly says, debt is a troublesome factor in human life. It is easier to get into it than to get out of it. Wisdom says avoid it; run not into it hastily or suddenly ; or if it has been incurred pay it oil as soon as possible and keep out of it. Every man thinks lie is best judge of his circumstances and does not take kindly to advice from outsiders, but the wisest of us would do well to heed the voice of experience. Thousands have suffered because they thought themselves- wiser than others. Ruined reputations and business follow heedlessness about into debt. Num bers contract a debt of borrow ing, and larger and larger sums are obtained until complete dis aster overtakes them ; or if some of them manage to keep things afloat during their life time by various expedients, they leave bankrupt estates behind them and financial ruin to their de pendents. Debt is one of the trying evils of the day. Church es and homes suffer from it as well as society and business.

Farming in the Roanoke and Chowan section of the State is gradually undergoing a great change, and for the better. In stead of cotton fields and corn patches of a few years ago we find a great variety of crops, and the latest improved ma chinery. Manure spreaders, grain drills, mowing aud reap ing machines and such machin ery a few years ago could not be found on the farms in this section, now they are largely used and the sale for them is rapidly increasing. Sale of western meat in this section has decreased fully one hundred percent, in ten years while the shipment of beef cattle from here has assumed large pro portions, whereas a fuw years ago raising of cattle for market was not attempted. —Rich Square Times.

They Keep Back Local Develop ment. \ The Newberne Journal very truly says that the residents of every town or city, are either ' assisting in its development or retarding its progress. There lis no such thing as neutrality in this matter. •J Local development, and its •promotion, does not necessarily I mean that every citizen must I have a cotton mill, saw mill or | some kind of factory, but it does mean that all home in dustries should receive all the I locai patronage. It is the exceptional town j that does not lose many thous ands of dollars, yearly, because of the neglect of the citizens to trade at home. And it is this buying away from home which • starves to death the local trade, which keeps the local merchant in the small store building, because his business will not permit him to enlarge his premises. And it also keeps the small merchant carrying small and joorly assorted stocks of .mer chandise, because to purchase .arger stocks, means to have them left over, year after year. It is this same neglect of ocal support which keeps the oluirches poor, and unable to tdmiuister to the wants of the ommunity, as tliey would be eapable of doing if their raem- I bers gave as they were able to ! give to the suppoat of the churches. In the way of local institu tions. libaries, hospitals, chari ties, these should all receive a 'i generous support. They are importaut factors in every city's "'development and as such de 1 i mand a liberal support. J Another local factor in every 1 town or city's progress and de ' velopment and as such demand 1 a liberal support. Success a 1 d prosperity has " never come to any community, : which failed to give generous ; and unqualified support and patronagi to its home papers ' There are citizens who bor row the local paper from a 1 neighbor. There are merchants ' who will not advertise in the 5 local paper, and there are mer -1 chants who will not advertise in a home paper, but will in an ; outside paper. And there are citizens who buy outside news -1 papers, refusing to take the local paper, but who will criti cize the home paper for being small in size and poor in extent of its news. Here are the elements in a ' community which keeps back 3 its development, and vet are , surprised that their town does not advance in business and . prosperity, and cannot uuder . stand that they are the bulwark which keeps down all educa f tional, social, moral and mer . cantile advancement. Every citizen in a communi . ty is either advancing its best 3 interests, or keeping back the . advancement of these interests. ? There is no middle ground to x occupy. It is for or against > the community's interests, and every citizen is personally re sponsible. DRESS REFORM. Working Women Leading. Changes Predicted For the Next Decade. There is an obvious tendency on the pai-t of women who have the professions and some who are in business to wear dresses which are each year further re moved from the fashionable wear. Convenience first dictat ed a modification of fashion, but now there is a growing dis position to adopt a style which will be peculiar to women workers, leaving the Paris fash ions exclusively to the butter flies of society. This, in turn is having an effect on all wom en who are not the absolute slaves of fashion. Just as we have men who dress well with out following the customs of fashionable men about iown— men who wear one i-espectable suit of clothes all day and day after day, instead of dressing in three or four suits according to the hour—so we already have women who refuse to follow the fashion plates. Out of this con dition will grow a habit if sen sible and healthful dressing for all except the women who de vote their time and thoughts wholly to social matters. Strangely enough, the eman cipation of womeu from the ty ranny of fashion in dress re ceives strong support in France where a prominent deputy has introduced in the Assembly a bill to prevent the wearing of corsets by any woman under thirty years of age. In this movement the deputy has the assistance of M. Octave Usanne, ihe editor of a leading fashion periodical. The luter makes the prophecy that within twen ry 3 r ears not only the corset, but also the long skirt and the bulg ing sleeve will have disappeared Whether the strictly fashion able minority shall continue these pernicious fashions or not will matter little provided the majority of women shall exer cise a large measure of indepen dence and place comfort and health in dress before every thing else. A prominent soci ety woman, the Princess Mary d'Ysemburg, of lleuss, is even more radical in her suggestions for dress reform. She would abolish corsets, high heels and face veils and institute skirts which shall not reach the ankle sandals or shoes without heels and gowns to fall straight from the shoulders. "There could be little hope of an)' permanent reform in dress which should dispense whatever is injurious to health but for the increasing independence of the professional women and the woman of business. Of the serious injury which is done to young girls by tight lacing the doctors do not speak extrav agantly. It is possible that corsets do not compress the body to the point of discomfort may not only be harmless, but even healthful; yet it is easily apparant that we have returned to the mischievous custom of inordinate tight lacing. For tunately the women of business, whose numbers and influence are growing, cannot afford to lace. Just as man has been forced by the nature of his oc cupation to abandon the laces and frills of an early ppriod, so will an increasing number of women find it necessar\ T to de vote less time to their toilet and consider convenience and com fort in their dress.—Philadel phia Record.

Origin of the Wedding Ring. The wedding ring is the sub ject of quaint historical facts and endless superstitions. It was probably chosen as the symbol of marriage more for . ouvenience than anything else. ' t is supposed to be a symbol of unbroken love and of power, and to carry special curative virtues with it. The old good luck saying about it is, "As your wedding ring wears, your cares will wear away." The ancients, Pliny among the rest, believed that a delicate- nerve ran directly from the "ring fin ger" to the heart, and that the ring placed on that finger was very closely connected with the heart. In early Christian mar riages the bridegroom put the ring first on the bride's thumb, then on the first finger, then on second, and, last of all, on the third, saying as he did: "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." The thumb and first two fingers represented tin Trinity, the next finger wa3 tlx • one the ring was left on, to show that, next to God, a wom an's duty was to her husdanl. —May Ladies' Home JournxL No 15 The Southern Railway.
