Feb. 2, 1894 The Third party will make a desparate to get control of the next legislature in this State, Gov. Carr has accepted an in vitation to deliver an address at the Newberne midwinter lair. The number of newspapers published in this State is given as 240 by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It is now believed that the debt Ctb. the Brooklyn Tabernacle will be paid, and that Rev. T. DeWitt Talinage will reconsider his de termination to sever his connect ion with the church and continue as pastor. If grumbling about the hard time, says the Mt. Airy News, could help to relieve the situation vre should advocate the organiza tion of associations for the pur pose of systematic and incessant grumbling. Bewailing our mis fortunes, however, has the oppo site effect from doing good. The Governor of Virginia says 111 his opinion all who took part in the recent prize fight at Ports mouth are liable. The penaltys 1,000 and from one to five yeaxs in the penitentiary. Johnson is said to be an alias, and the man who fought Wongo is a middle weight of reputation. He is thought to be the St. Paul kid. lie is still in Norfolk and is thinking of making a match with an Australian middleweight with a good record. The Fayetteville Observer says editorially : "Since Senator Ran som offended the rank and file of the Democracy by taking sides "with Settle in voting for the un conditional repeal of the purchase rlause of the Sherman bill, it is said he will no longer be accept able to the people of North Car olina as one of their representa tives in the Senate. We hear it said on all sides in this section of the State that no man can be elected to the Legislature from any of the counties hereabouts unless he pledges himself to vote against Ransom in caucus." You poor deluded people who are suffering the discomforts of a Northern winter listen to the poet's true description of our Southern winter. It is a true de scription of what the people in this part of the vineyard are en joying. The sky is as blue as that of far-famed Italy; while every morning in coining to the office the editor walks between two banks of violets which line the walk from our house to the jate. People of the frozen North come and be convinced that this 3 s pretty near the Garden of Eden. This is the way the poet describ es it : A sky of living blue; white clouds that slowly sail away; Z A scent of violets on the winds that whisper of the May; The song of birds in dreamy fields, bathed in the glorious light, And stars that tempt the whippoorwills to tune their throats at night. Rocky Mount Argonaut. BUSINESS IN THE SOUTH. President Joseph Bryan of the Georgia Pacific, was in Baltimore the other day, and while there, .says the Sun, he told some things worth thinking about. The cot ton mills of the south, from Vir ginia to Mississippe, have been running on full time and have had a profitable business. New mills have been under construct ion through the period of trade depression. Around Birming ham the condition of the irou in dustry is shown by the statement that one of the largest companies will put in a new furnace without delay, and on every hand a most healthy condition of things ex ist. President Bryan says that the knowledge of the actual condition of the South seems to have put new blood into the blanched cheeks of Northern capitalists, and the faces of these people are turned this way. THE HOME. Rev. Dr. Wm. Lloyd. The sweetest word in the Sax on tongue is home. It has in it the brierhtness of sunshine and the frag:ance of flowers. It sug gests love, and rest, and gladness. It calls up pictures painted im- perishably on our hearts. It speaks of fatherly care, mother's love, and wife's tenderness and devotion. The home is the safe guard of the nation. It is the nursery in which only can be grown manly men and womanly women. But into many, many homes there often steals a shadow of fear that darkens the sunlight and drops a bitterness into the cup of joy. It is the fear that strong men, whose arm or brain wins the bread or creates the com fort of that family may be smit ten down by death. The majority of fathers find it almost imposs ible to lay aside sufficient from the yearly income to insure the family against adversity and pos sible want. Life is so insecure. The vigorous man to-day may be still in death to-morrow. What, then, can lighten the gloom of the widow's shrouded heart, the grief of the fatherless? It is then that the genuine, honest life as surance institution, society or company steps in and does its work of beneficence. I tell you a man's steps are much lighter, his spirit more bouyant, as he goes out in the morning to his work if he knows, come what may, in his home lies a paper which secures his loved ones from poverty and will bear them up uut l they are able to work for themselves. It is because of the fact that these, societies are deal ing with the most sacred of all things, life, and the most vital of institutions, home, which makes it imperative they should be hon est and faithful to the trust re posed in them. A fraudulent life insurance company is not only a commercial offence; it is a moral crime. THE EDITOR. Avoca (N. Y.) Advance. "My dear reader have you ever stopped to think when you are critizing the editor that he is a man in some instances like other people. He usually tries to do his best, yet his ways may not be your ways. He respects his friends, appreciates your kindness and a good word. You have al ways found him ready to return a favor often times returning good for evil. He will not always con tinue to pat a man on the back and proclaim what a good and prominent citizen he is, how much he has done for the people about him. He does not feel like puffing a man who is snarling and biting at his paper every chance he gets. You will always see him stand by a man who stands by him. You will see the man wlio always hangs back and never makes a start for him self kick when the editor, in true good-fellowship feeling, puffs some fellow who has been work ing for the good of the people around him. Have you ever thought what a rumpus there would be if the paper should al ways contain the feelings of the editor, or if he should criticise as as he is criticised? A newspaper man is a little different from other men; his business makes him so. He makes it his study to say all the good things he can about tho. e around him and to Say as few of the bad things as he can. If you don't get the puffs you think you should have come in and tell the editor about it, and you will find him willing to pro claim to the world your good deeds if they are worthy of it. Don't stand back with a chosen few and bite and snarle and tell what a mean cuss he is. You may want his help sometime or you may die and then what an obit uary he might write." SPECIMEN CASES. S. H.

CORBETT AND MITCHELL. THE MEN" WHO MET IN THE RING AT JACKSONVILLE, FLA. All things considered the battle between Tames T. Corbett and Charles Mitchell was the mos important event in the annals o the prize ring. It marked a turn ing point in fistic athletics. Cor bett belongs to the new school o scientific boxers, representing perhaps the most advanced ideas in that line of pugilists. Mitchell while not strictly identified with the old line, received his earliest impressions and much of his ear lier training from the old bare knuckle boxers and was reared in that pugilistic atmosphere which was largely responsible for the longevity of the rules of the Lou don prize ring, and for the tardi ness with which those of the Marquis of Queensberry crept in to public favor on either side o the Atlantic. The fact that the champions of England and Amer ica consented to an encounter un der the latter rules and under the restrictions imposed by the arti cles of agreement is proof in it o J. self that the new school of pugi lism has alreadv crowded the old into the rear. There had been no great event in the prize ring since the defeat of John L. Sullivan by Corbett in September, 1892, and the class and the records, as well as the standing and the titles of the two men gave the contest from the very day that it was first suggest ed an unusual desrree of inter- national interest and of inter national importance in sporting circles. They both are young, as years are reckoned now-a-days, but they had both been fighting as an occupation almost since they were boys. Mitchell is five vears older than Corbett, but he foutrht his first pitched battle when he was only 16 years ol age, while Corbett was 18, and had, perhaps, a longer training than the Englishman prior to "coming out" as a fighter. -A. CORBETT'S RECORD. James John Corbett was born in San Francisco, Cal., Septem ber 1, 1866, of Irish parents. In 1 884 he made his first appearance in a professional way, his oppo nent being Dave Elseman, whom the Californiau disposed of very easily in two rounds. He then deteated Duncan McDonald, of Butts, Montana, in four rounds At the Olympic Club Corbett de feated Choynski in one round, and later, on a barge in the Sac ramento river, in a hard fought battle of twenty-seven rounds, he knocked him out a second time, breaking his own hand in the en counter. Jack Dempsey backed Choynski in this fight. This latter victory by Corbett had been preceded with the knocking out of Kike Brennan, the "Port Costa Giant," and with an eight-round bout with Jack Burke which was declared a draw Corbett was tlien only 19 years old, but he went on from triumph to triumph, defeating in rapid succession Tim Daly 111 two rounds; Frank Smith of Salt Lake City in three; George Atkinson 111 two; and Frank Glover of Chicago in two. After his barge battle with Choynski there was a four round meet for points between Corbett and Joe McAuliffe, in which the former easily got the decision. Prof. John Donaldson, who has been one of Corbett's trainers for this contest with Mitchell, was easily defeated by the Californiau, while the latter was still an instructor in boxing at the Olympic Club, and net i A. long after this, Prof.Wm. Miller, the Graeco-Roman wrestler.went down before him in four rounds. The only other victory of any im portance prior to Corbett's battle with Jake Kilraiti, was that over Dave Campbell, of Portland, Oregon. On February 17, 1890, Corbett met Jake Kilrain, ot Baltimore, in a six-round glove contest be fore the Southern Athletic Club of New Orleans, for a purse of $3,500 and was declared the win ner. On April 14,1890, at the Casino, in Brooklyn, N. Y., he de feated Dominick McCaffrey in a sharp and hotly-contested battle during the fourth round. In the summer of 1 890 Corbett issued a challenge to fight any man in the world for $5,000 a side and on the night of May 21-22, 1 89 1, Peter Jackson, the negro pugilist, met him in San Fran cisco for a purs-j of $10,000, offer ed by the California Athletic club. At the close of the sixty first round both men were physi cally unable to continue the bat tle and the referee decided that it was a draw. It had lasted four hours and three minutes, and was one of the most stubborn fights in the history of the prize ring. ' On the night of September 7, 1892, Corbett defeated John L. Sullivan, of Boston, before the Olympus Club, ot New Orleans, for a stake of $20,000 and a purse of $25,000, thereby securing the title of American champion. The battle was finished in the twenty first round, Sullivan being com pletely knocked out. From the time of Tom Hyer in 1849 up to the defeat of Sullivan in 1 892 every pugilist who had earned the title of American champion had fought for it with bare knuckles and according to the London prize ring rules, but by the terms of the agreement between Corbett and Sullivan their battle was with gloves and under the Marquis of Queensber ry rules, the championship being won for the first time under such conditions and the conditions of Thursday's contest were practi cally the same. Ex. TORBETT CONCERT COM PANY. Of the Torbett Concert Com pany which shows at Rea's Opera House on Monday night, Feb. 5th the Chattanooga Blade says: If many of the entertainments which visit this city could be so thoroughly soul-lifting, so en trancingly enjoyable as was that of the above company Tuesday evening at the First Baptist church, society would be better in every respect. And the Lib rary Association deserves great credit that instead of making an effort simply to make money pre ters to serve public with an eve ning of song and music, so pure so uplifting in all its tendencies Of the concert it mav be said it was simply grand. Miss Tor bettwas the personification of A grace and music, the embodiment of the gentle muse. The audience was small , too small indeed, but a select one However, the times are not en couraging to anything of so re fined a nature, but the burnt- cork artists, we are told, drew well at the opera house a few niehts since. All of the members of the Ollie Torbett company are musicians of a high order. They should iated." be heard to be appre BYRUMS X ROADS NEWS. Mrs. T. P.

Saduess has come to another home, and yrief to many hearts, by the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Summerell, relick of the late Dr. T. D. Summerell, which took place on Tuesday evening last about five o'clock. Deceased had been ill for a long time, her complaint being consumption, and it was that dreaded disease which final ly carried her beyond human help. Mrs. Summerell was 59 years old, and member of St. Paul's Episcopal church. A good and loving wife, a kiud and devoted mother, a true friend, beloved by all, she leaves a warm and tender spot in the hearts of many. The funeral took place on Thursday morning at her late residence and the body was interred in St. Paul's church yard. To her two sous we extend our deep est sympathy. WIS t 1 r Mrs. J. II. IIorsnyder, 152 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz, Cal., writes: " "When a girl at school, in Beading, Ohio, I had a severe attack of brain fever. On my recovery, I found myself perfectly bald, and, for a long time, I feared I should be permanently so. Friends urged me to use Ayer's Hair Vigor, and, on doing so, my hair Began to Grow, and I now have as fine a head of hair as one could wish for, being changed, how ever, from blonde to dark brown." " After a fit of sickness, my hair came out in combfulls. I used two bottles of Ayer's Hair Vigor and now my hair is over a yard long and very full and heavy. I have recom mended this preparation to others with like good effect." Mrs. Sidney Carr, 1460 Regina St., Harrisburg, Pa.
