The funnitst thing in Noi h
Carohua politics this year was
the manner in which the nomi
nation forjudge of the Superior
Court was given to E. B. Joms
was a candidate for the non i
nation for solicitor and was run
ning for it as hard as he knew
how, with a good prospect of get
ting it, when the other candi
dates for this office formed a
combination and. to his- un
speakable disgust, nominated
him for judge. When he caught
his breath, recovered from his
surprise and his good humor
returned, he characterized thf
proceedings as a "conspiracy,"
but he gracefully accepted the
situi;t on and the nomination,
and will make a most excellent
judge. But the honor sneaked
up on him and grabbed him
'' unknownst.''—Charlotte Ob

VERY REMARKABKE CUKE OF
DIARRHOEA.
"About six years ago foi the
first tirae in my life I had a sud
den and severe attack of diar
rhoea," says Mrs. Alice Miller,
of Morgan, Texas. "I got tem
porary relief, but it came back
again and again, and for six
long years I have suffered more
misery and agony than I can
tell. It was worse than death.
My husband spent hundreds of
dollars for physicians' prescrip
tions and treatment without
avail. Finally we moved to
Bosque county, our present
home, and one day I happened
to see an advertisement of Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy with a testi
monial of a man who had beer
cured by it. The case was so
similar to my own that I con
cluded to try the remedy. The
result was wonderful. I could
hardly realize that I was well
again, or believe it could be so
after having suffered so long,
but that one bottle of medicine
costing but a few cents, cured
me." For sale by Hood & Gran

A Good Sign.
In Georgia at least the idea
will soon be abandoned that
wealth and family influence
will keep a murderer from be
ing hanged if the courts and
the executive of that State hold
to the record they have estab
lished of late. On last Mon
day a white man was hanged
for murder in Atlanta. He had
been a merchant and bore a
good reputation, but his busi
ness and social standing did
not save his neck when the
jury had declared him guilty of
murder, and he paid the penal
ty of his crime. Another white
man, in a fit of jealous rage
shot and killed a young lady in
a church. He, too, has found
that neither the color of his
skin nor his standing in society
has exempted him »rom the
hangman's services. He is to
hang in the same city shortly.
In Mississippi, also the same
quality of justice is being meted
out to the white men who com*
mit murder. The men Cocke
and Lauderdale, who were
hanged in Greenville for the
brutal murder of a railroad con
ductor, were said to be "well
connected." Strenuous efforts
were made to save their lives
but to no effect.
This, we say, is a good sign ;
it shows that in these localities
a higher value is being placed
upon human life and there is a
greater determination to pro
tect it and punish those who
wantonly destroy it, without
regard to the social or financial
standing of the guilty persons.
Such disposition manifested by
the people, the courts and the
ollicials will have more effect in
putting down the lynchings and
preventing murders than any
thing ebe that can be done..
Let it be well understood that a
life shall be legally forfeited for
a life unlawfully taken and the
number of murders will rapidly
decrease .—Exchange.

A Trust in Newspapers.
The Col umbia State, referring
to the purchase of the Philadel
phia Public Ledger by Mr.
Ochs, says the papers that he
has recently purchased cost
$4,250,000, and this makes the
State think the deal "not only
important in itself but full of
suggestion." It wonders how
"these properties have been
acquired at so great cost with
out any previous display of cap
ital by Mr. Ochs," and says :
"The New York Times, be
fore Mr. Ochs acquired it, was
Democratic in policy. So was
the Philadelphia Times. The
Philadelphia Record has long
been an independent Republi
can paper but upon several of
the larger issues, such as im
perialism and the treatment of
Cuba, it has latterly held to the
.Democratic line of argument
Mr. Ochs has made his previous
purchases imperialistic and
trust-defending in their policy
and it is to be presumed that
the Ledger will prove no excep
tion to the rule '
"We have said that this lat
est deal is 'full of suggestion.'
That is for the reason that it
makes the fourth great news
paper, three of them metropoli
tan, to come under the control
—nominally at least—of one
man. Wheu is this policy of
absorption to end? And what
does it me»i that here we are
banded together several of the
most important journals of the
country under one control a
policy adverse to that which
they previously maintained—
advocating trusts, urging on
imperialism? Do not the cir
cumstances suggest very strong
ly the operations of a sindicate
seeking to influence public opin
ion in its most virile centres to
support the great powers of do
mestic monopoly and foreign
exploitation in the approaching
battle?
"Democratic money—that is
to say Democratic money will
ing to go into the newspaper
business to maintain consistent
support of pure party principles
—is not to be had by ihe mil
lion dollars. Only the benifi
ciaries of monopoly and special
privilege possess it in sums so
large, and these are almost al
ways Republicans, in policy if
not in name. So the monopoli
zation of the press, the estab
lishment of newspaper 'trusts'
is it were, will be a Republi
can function almost wholly,
fhe Democrats might like to
take part in the operation, but
their pockets are not deep
3nough.
"It seems to us that the ap
plication of 'trust' methods to
the metropolitan press is a dan
ger very threatening to the fu
ture of the Democratic partv or
any party, standing against
'trustism.' There are few
gnough papers of large circula
tion in great cities that have
latterly been Democratic, even
in name, and if those that have
been Democratic in fact are to
be acquired by Republican
money and attuned to Republi
can policies the Democratic par
ty will be in a desperate plight
in those centres of population
where heretofore it has received
it 3 heaviest majorities. These
papers once taken from Derao
cratic control, it will be exceed
ingly dillicult to replace them,
for the expense of establishing
a first-class journal in one of
our great cities is now prohibi
tive except to th 3 very wealthy
—w6 would not like to take the
job without at least a capital of
a million dollars. Alltheintei
ests represented by or requiring
much money are allying them
selves peiinitely with the Re
publican party. If the news
papers were an exception we
could hope to overthrow of all
other inlluences hostile to an
equitable administration of the
government, with 'special priv
ileges for none' —but if the
newspapers themselves, which
should be the sentinels on the
walls of the people's interests,
fall into the hands of the enemy
the problem of saving the re
public front complete control by
monopolists will be well-nigh
beyond solution.
"The ease with which great
trusts, representing govern
mental interference with their
monopolies, may essay control,
by purchase if in no other way,
of the great papers of the cen
tury, is suggested by the fact
that the Steel trust is making,
according to President Schawb's
testimony, $144,000,000 a year
profit and now holds in its
treasury in cash and cash as
sets no less than $'214,000,00C

amounting only to $77,000,000.

Nothing Comes by Watting.
The saying that "everything
comes to him who waits," does
not mean that the sitting down
fellow is the one that gets all
that he wants.
Waiting, in the above saying,
does not mean idleness or
dreaming, or wishing to take
place.
It means eagerness in going
after and persistence in follow
ing up"the somthing of value to
the person seeking it.
The present age is peculiarly
a striving one, in the language
of the times it is a "strenuous
age," and only the persistent
seeker can expect to gain any
thing, and then only by strong
effort Und work.
It is only necessary to look
about to see what produces
success and what gives failure.
The person who reaches out
after business, by advertising
or personal effort, gets the trade
and the'profits therefrom.
- The town or city which pre
sents its commercial possibili
ties gets the investor and his
money, and thereby its own
commercial advancement and
bunding up.
Note the waiting merelmnt
wiio does not advertise and
seek out for trade through per
sonal going forth after it!
Note the town or city which
makes no effort to gaiu the at
tention of the outside business
world of progress!
Distinct failure wili be found
in both, and very notice or care
that the first drops ont of com
mercial circles, and the second
is unknown in the investment
world.
There is failure in waiting,
but ill going forth to seize, to
attain the object, there is every
chance of success.—Newberne
Journal.
