An Unwilling Juror.
A New Hampshire judge has
m his possession the following!
letter sent to him by an old
farmer who had been notified
that he had been summoned as
a juror for a certain term of
court:
"Dear Jedge: I got your;
letter tellin' me to come to
Manchester and do dooty on
the joory an' I write you these
fue lines to let you know that
you'll have to git some one else
for it ain't so that I kin leave

says that he would as soon as i
not go, for he ain't got nothin'
else to do jess now, so you bet-;
ter send fer him. I hate the
worst way not to oblige you,}
but it ain't so I kin at present.
Ennyhow I ain't much on ilie

Stiles got killed by the cars

Cabboge Snakes.
List year considerable was
said in the press of the State in
regard f .o cabbage snakes, espe
cially in the cabbage sections of
the western part of the State.
Recently an itbm has been going
'the round of the newspapers
concerning a supposed poison
ous "cabbage snake" found in a
head of this popular vegetable
by a lady in Sw.iin county,
iNorth Carolina The alleged
snake was sent to the North
Carolina Department of Agri
culture for identification, and j
proved to be the common and
iiiollensive "Hair Snake" or
water worm —gordius varia- ;
bilis. . i
i This is not a snake but a nem- '
atode worm which during some i
pi,trt of its life is an intestinal i
parasite of the cabbage caterpii- '■
lar, giasshoppei' and sonii other
insects. It is often found in
samples oi' water from shallow :
wells, horr-.e-troughs and ponds. •'
Its presence in water indicates '
that the water is not fit to drink !
but the worm itself is not pois
onous nor in any way danger- 1
ous to the human beings. The 
popular name "Hair Snake" is! I
given to this worm on account 1
of its great sleiulcrness, which 1
has given rise to the fanciful 1
idea that a horse hair has been -
transformed into a worm or 
" nake." Though this worm i i
often a foot in length it is never 1
as thick as a knitting needie. >
Its color in water is usually '
drab, but when it lives secluded 1
from the light it is generally '
whit 0 , hence, the specific name, i
variabilis. i
Snukes properly so-called, :
belong to the backbone or verts- :
brate series of animals; where- '
as the true worms belong to the 
backboneless or invertebrate >
series. We have no snakes as ;
slender as a knitting needie, or
in any way resembling a slen '
der worm. We have no nem a- i
tode worms which are visible to !
the unaided eye that are paras- I
itic on human beings. Neither I
are they venomous or poisonous. 1
They are in fact, useful, in so 
far as they destroy noxious in
sects like cabbage worms «ind '
grasshoppers. Even should 
such a worm be left in a cab 1
bast", cookiag would render itji
unnoticeable, and as it is notj
poison no one need be afraid to
handle or eat cabbage on ac
count of the mythical "cabbage
snake."

NOT OVER-WISE.
There is an old allegorical
picture of a girl scared at a
grass-hopper, but in the act of
i heedlessly treading on a snake.
This is parallelled by the man
j who spends a large sum of mon
ey building a cyclone cellar, but
! neglects to provide his family
| with a bottle of Chamberlain's
| Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
. Remedy as a safegard against
bowel complaints, whose vic
tims outnumber those of the
cyclone a hundred to one. This
I remedy is everywhere recog
nized as the most prompt and
'reliable medicine in use for
) these diseases. For sale by

A Haopy Change.
One of the best political signs
for the future is, in every in
stance, in every congressional
district convention thus far held
( iu the State, the representative
' now holding office has been re
nominated. We say this is a
i most satisfactory sign for t:e
future, aud it shows ihe people
of the State are atla t waking
up to their best interest and
ha\e learned they can no longer
afford to sacrifice their own
welfare to the ambition of auy
may who desires the honor oi
serving iu Congress.
Heretofore it lias been the un
written law of nearly ali the
congressional districts in the
State to give their representa
tives two terms in Congress
and to force him into retirement
to make room for some party
favorite so he can enjoy the
honor of represeniing liis dis
trict in Congress. There is no
way that we know of, of find
ing out accurately what North
Caioiina has suffered by the
rigid enforcement of this un
written law.
We have had as able repre
sentatives from this State in
the House as can be found from
any other State, yet their Con
gressional career with few ex
ceptions, has been devoid of po
litical interest and the good they
have accomplished for the Sta ti
ls hardly visable. At first
thought this accomplishing com
paratively nothing for their re
spective districts might be laid
at the door of the representa
tives themselves, but the fact it
is not the representatives that
are to blame, but the people
themselves in allowing the poli
ticians to conduct the nominal- ,
ing of our congressmen and the t
passing of the hat around so ;
congressional honors would be j
divided among them.
It is an admitted fact, it takes j
at least two. years of congres
sional schooling before a mem- (
her can, if he would be of much
benefit to his people. Hon. J.
H. Small has accomplished J
three fold more for the first uis- t
trict during his second term t
than he did during the first and ,
now he is to continue two years j
longer in his seat he will be able ,
to accomplish more than ever.
A representative in Congress s
during his first term is scarcely (
more than the proverbial bump (
on a log. He is not expected to (
speak on any of the hills before .
the House, that duty falls on j
the members who 'nave been in' ,
Congress long enough to gain .
influence, but it is far more ap- j
propriate for him to sit in his |
seat, vote when he is called on,
and learn how to conduct the ;
business of the House. He is
expected to attend the congres- "j
sional school for at least two
years.
We repeat, there is nothing
that has occurred in the State
recently, for which the people
have more cause for congratula
tion than that the masses of our
people have at last awakened to
thair true interest and the
change in public sentiment to
return their representatives in
C ingress. Should this policy
continue and tlu' people continue
to rule as they sei-mingly have
this year iu making their own
congressio. al nominations and
iviu eto allow the tinib tin oi
any set of men deter them, it
will U'.t be many years hence
before they will see the North
Carolina delegation in the
House on the important com
mittees and taking an import-!
| ant part in shaping congression*
I al legislation.
i The only way this desired
! end can be attained, and the
i best results can not be reached
until this is accomplished, is
when they find out as the Firtt
District has already discovered,
they have a faithful representa
tive and one that has their in
terest at heart, is to continue
him in office regardless of the
desire of any one to be his suc
cessor.
The greatest mistake the
Democratic party has made in
North Carolina is changing
their representatives in Con
gress aud now there seems a
disposition to retain those who
have been faithful servants, as
surely as after night conies the
day a new era has dawned on
North Carolina, for which all
ought to be glad.—Gazette Mes

A National Need. 1
In an article on good roads-,
written shortly before his death
for the New York News, the
late Peter J. Otey, repsantative
from Virginia, said :
"In my opinion the most
important gqnestion before the
American peope 1 today is that
of good roads. Good roads, like
all other things, cost. Choa]
articles are of inferior quality ;
hence our bad roads. If we ar
to have bad roads, wo must pa\
for them. To pay for them w
must be taxed. Then, if taxed,
how? By the federal or state
goverment?
"I am in favor of the whol
system of roads in the countn
being placed under goverment
construction, to be paid for on
of the United States treasury,
and, having introduced a bill
looking to this end. I am over
whelmed with letters from all
sections of the country aprovinj.
it and inquiring about, it. Tim
bill provides for the direct ap
propration oi .$100,000,000 tc
be expended in the forty-fivt
states and four teritories of tin
United States in propotion to
population. It should becomt
a continuing appropriation tih
good roads become a network
over the laud.
"Will anybody tell me wlij
the United Statis govern men 1
should not construct good roads
in the various states and terri
tories? Is there any different e
in thus applying public money
and applying it to creeks,
branches and rivers? Both are
to expedite transportation, to
help interstate aud foregiin
commerce*
"The concentration of
population and wealth in greai
citi-'s would be largly overconn
if the country districts should
have their fair share of ih
appropriation of public money
and the consequent improve
ment of the country roads that
would follow 7 ."—Selected.
