EDENTON, N. C. Aprilth, 1894.
The selection by Gov.JNorthern
of Speaker Crisp to be Senator
from Georgia is highly creditable
to all concerned.
To injure the efficiency of our
public school system wouldjbe to
put North Carolina hehind all
other States. Winston Sentinal.
The appointment by President
Cleveland of Mr. E. F. JLamb, to
the Postmastership 'pi E. City,
was a most excellent one and
well deserved.
Governor Jones, of Alabama,
has written a letter in reply to
Hoar, in which he pins him and
roasts Kolb, the ally of the Mass
achusetts corruptionist.
Does the New York Sun miss
the mark much when it says:
"Judged by the conduct of the
majority of Democrats at Wash
ington, there are no Democratic
principles.
Speaker Crisp can't be spared.
The House of Representatives
needs somebody who can squelch
Czar Reed with neatness and
dispatch about four times a
week, says the Baltimore News.
The Durham Recorder, one
of the oldest papers in the State,
changed hands Saturday. Mr. E
C. Hackney, who has been the
editor and owner for many years,
sold out to Mr. Garland E.Webb,
formerly editor and proprietor
of the Winston Daily World.
One of the African kings is
having a daisy umbrella built in
London. The staff will be fifteen
feet long, the ribs of brass ten
feet, the whole covered with silk,
making a tent big enough to
cover the king and his royal
household. With an umbrella
like that a fellow might grin at
the impromptu borrower. Ex.
The Wilmington Messenger
truthfully says:
"The blood shedding and men
killing in South Carolina show
how much damage and danger a
bad, head-strong man a polit
ical crank may do. We were
prepared to expect just such a sad
condition of affairs in that State
from the high-handed perform
ances of the fellow who writes
himself Governor."
Public men and leading South
ern Democratic newspapers all
condemn the veto of the Presi
dent of the silver Seigniorage
bill. The South is well nigh as
united against tne veto as the
North is united in favoring the
veto. TheWest is divided, but
the majority of Democratic
newspapers no doubt condemn
the course of the President. The
Republican politicians and news
papers are rejoicing.
The name of Win. M. Bond,
Esq., of Edenton, has been fre
quently mentioned recently as
the successor of Hon. J.H.Blount,
who declines a renomination for
Solicitor of the First Judicial
District of North Carolina. Mr.
Bond is well known to the peo
ple and bar of this district as a
lawyer of signal ability, a Dem
ocratic politician of courageous
convictions, a gentleman of the
highest character and whose per
sonal courtesy has won him
friends wherever he is known.
He has represented Mr. Blount
in several courts of this district
and his management of the State
docket has given general satis
faction. He would be a worthy
successor of along line of dis
tinguished Solicitors who have
given honor to the district and
to North Carolina. Following
the line of a previous suggestion
of this paper we take pleasure in
formally presenting the name of
Mr.jBond before the next Judicial
Convention of this district for our
next Solicitor and bespeak from
our people such a support as
would be honorable to him and
themselves. Economist-Falcon.
We heartily endorse the above.
Mr. Bond is one of Edenton's
best known gentlemen, and his
nomination should receive no
opposition.

HAYWOOD'S CELEBRITIES.
Rarely do our citizens have the
opportunity to hear such famous
and popular artists as will appear
with Haywoods Celebrities at
Rea's Opera House, Monday
April 9th. It is an opportunity
that the lover of the beautiful, the
sublime, and that which elevates
can notafford to miss, while those
who seek a lighter vein or the
emotional can laugh and weep
with Miss Rowell, the queen of
impersonators.
Members of this company have
appeared as soloists with the fol
lowing world renowned artists:
Mdlle Albini, Marie Roze, Cam
panini, Mine Scalchi, Sarasate,
lules Massenet, Servais, Mine
Laura Schimer-Mapleson, Miss
Hope Glenn (with Patti). Arditi,
(Tatti's musical director), Mine
Basta Tavary, Neil Burgess
Pauline Montegriffo, Mdlle Rhe,
and others. Our people can ex
pect a performance of exceptional
brilliancy. Manager Rea has se
cured this company on a very
heavv guarantee, and we trust
the theatre goers of our town
will show their appreciation of a
good thing by a most liberal pat
ronage. Seats on sale at Brink
ley's Emporium.
COXEY'S ARMY.
Coxey s celebrated Army o:
the Commonweal have reached
Pittsburg, Penn., and are now
300 strong. It is said that Coxey
and a large number of Irs follow
ers have decided to take a trip
through the Southern States as
soon as his mission in Washing
ton is fulfilled. This decision was
arrived at a day or so ago, and
the trip will be made with a view
of converting as many Southern
people as possible to the ideas
advanced by Coxey. As at
present figured out by Coxey, it
will require the best part ot two
mouths for his army to go to
Washington. He will make a
trip through Virginia, North and
South Carolina, being joined in
the latter State by Frye and his
Texas band. The scheme is to
win the Southern farmers over
to the Coxey-BrowneSmith ideas.
When this is completed the task
of the reformers will be fulfilled
and the army will disband.
THE DAMAGE AT NEW
BERNE.
The New Berne Journal of
March 28th speaking of the cold
snap and the damage done by it
in that section, says:
"The predicted frost and freeze
both struck ns with considerable
severity. The thermometer
went down Monday night to 26
and the result was the killing of
a deal of the tenderest truck and
severe injuries to other truck as
well as fruit.
Potatoes are cut down, but
they will be later than they
otherwise would and the .yield
somewhat diminished. All the
potatoes were not up and those
late ones will beyond doubt do
the best.
Peas are badly injured. Some
of the truckers say they do not
now look for more than a fourth
of a crop. They were well ad
vanced and scarcely anything is
expected from the young peas
and blooms that have put forth.
This will make the crop both late
and short. Some think as the
vines lay on the ground the un
der blooms and peas, being pro
tected, will survive and give a
partial crop even of the first
ones."
A bookseller's catalogue recently
published in Birmingham, England,
gives a careful description of a por
trait of Lord Cornwallis, painted in
1788, in which he is represented stand
ing on an eminence overlooking the
town and straits of Gibraltar, "while
stretching away in the background
several ips are steaming along the
straits and emitting huge clouds of
smoke." It was one of these steam
ships probably that carried Lord Corn
wallis back to England after the sur
render at York town.
The supreme court of Indiana re
cently made a decision which declares
the saloon, even though licensed by
the state, a nuisance, and that the pro
prietors thereof are liable for damages
for injury to ad j acent property depre
ciated, either for sale or rental, by the
presence of the saloon. If the courts
of all the states should so declare the
saloon would get a black eye, for it
does just that wherever placed. Even
the regular toper prefers to raise his
family some distance away from the
saloon.
WAR IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
A FIGHT BETWEEN THH CITIZENS
AND CONSTABULARY.
For some time past the towns
of Darlington and Florence, S.
C, have been in a state of great
excitement over the Dispensary
Law.
It seems there had been re
ports that Tillman's constables,
or spies, would search private
houses for liquor, and Gov. Till
man was asked about it, and he
was reported as having said yes, !
that private houses would be
searched, and trunks and boxes.
&c, would be searched. The
constables then went to Darling
ton, raided seven or eight busi
ness places and stated that they
would next raid private houses.
As if by magic, the citizens of
the town appeared wTith shot
guns and other weapons and
formed themselves into a party,
declaring that they would not
submit to such an outrage.
The spies telegraphed to Gov.
Tilman. He wired sheriff Scar
borough that he must protect the
officers of the State.
The sheriff wired back that
things were too serious lor him
to do anything himself.
Tillman then wired to Capt.
Thompson, of the Darlington
Guards, to place his company at
the service of the sheriff. The
captain assured the Governor
that this would be done. A tele
gram to the Governor shortly
afterwards stated that while Capt
Thompson and the sheriff were
consulting at the court house the
mob had gone to the company's
armory and had taken off all the
arms and ammunition.
Gov. Tillman wired to Chiei
Constable Gailliard, at Charles
ton, to collect his entire force of
spies for the lower section of the
State and go to Darlington as
soon as possible.
Last Fridav the constables
were at the depot and a fight oc
curred, when Constable McClen
don shot a man by the name of
Redmond. McClendon then also
shot Norment, and then tl.e citi
zens drew their pistols and a gen
eral fusilade on both sides began.
Seventy-five or a hundred shots
were fired. One citizen was
struck five times; another was
struck twice; the Chief of Police
was struck; one of the constables
was killed; another mortally
wounded; one had his nose shot
off; one was shot in the back and
another in the leg.
The constables then fled to the
woods, and bodies of citizens
went to hunt for them, but they
were not found.
A dispatch says: The mob was
composed of the most prominent
and the very best people of the
city, who are determined to re
sist any effort attempted outrage
upon their private houses with
their lives. They are determin
ed people and any attempt to
make such raids will result in
serious trouble.
The three Columbia companies
of State troops disbanded, rather
than obey-the Governor's orders.
The excitement is at fever heat.
Treatment of tlio Insane.
Ministering to minds diseased is one
of the most difficult and, as at present
managed, the most hopeless tasks. Ex
isting conditions are due largely to
circumstances over which the friends,
of the unfortunate and the general
public have no control. But. all the
same, these conditions work directly
against the patient's recovery and
serve to increase the tendency to
vagaries in minds only slightly unset
tled. It is said by medical and mental
scientists that there is no such thing
as a perfectly balanced intellect.
Every human being has some idio
syncrasy, some flaw in the construc
tion, some weak spot that under undue
pressure will give way and reduce the
victim to a state of insanity or hope
less crankiness. The first and indis
pensable requirement for persons af
flicted with mental unsoundness is a
situation entirely apart from others
similarly affected. Quartering in
sane patients in wards and permit
ting free intercourse among those
given to all sorts of eccentricities arc,
in the opinion of the New York Ledg
er, unquestionably the worst folly of
which the caretakers of these people
can be guilty. By constant asso
ciation and daily interchange of
thought and opinion these unbal
anced minds have every oppor
tunity to absorb more that ii.
detrimental and to learn thousands of
whims and caprices that, alone and
untaught, they would never have
dreamed of. An unsettled brain is
fertile ground for the growth of the
rank weeds of evil thought and desire,
and these creatures, in almost all
cases persons of exceedingly active
and nervous temperaments, are simply
undergoing a process of education that
is likely to destroy vhatever healthy
and natural brain-tissue their mis
fortunes may have left them. Thrown
constantly in the way of the lowest
and most abandoned forms of mind
disease, it is perfectly natural that
they should become familiar with it,
and, as they ara idle and easily at
tracted by things new and strange,
they are almost certain to grow worse
instead of better. Much the better
plan, in place of this herding together
of the insane, as is generally practiced,
would be some arrangement by which
each individual case could have special
treatment carefully adapted to the
needs of that particular case. Let the
highly nervous or excitable person be
In charge of some thoughtful, far-seeing
nurse or physician, one who would
be content to let nature do some
thing, and would, instead of forcing,
nagging and worrying the patient,
seek to remove all Irritating causes
and conditions and give the over
strained nerves the opportunity to re
gain their normal strength,

A curiosity in the shape of
human midget is reported as
having: recently been born atiivii
lingworth, Conn. The father is
employed by a farmer cutting
timber, and weighs about 190
pounds. The child is a male, as
perfectly formed as any being
can be, and on its birth weighed
onlv eiedit ounces. Its face is
about the size of a horse chest
nut. A ring worn on the little
finger of its mother was easily
slipped over his foot nearly up
to the knee It is the opinion of
the attending physician that
the child will live. It is so small
that three of its like could play
hide and seek in a cigar box.
Henderson Gold Leaf .
The Third Party people have
been making a great affair over
a recent convention of Alliance
people in Gates county. They
make it a grand rally with in
creased numbers, and a fresh re
vival of old issue, when in fact
we are informed by a most intel
ligent and observant citizen 01
Gates that such was not the case.
That the entire number of par
ticipants in that convention was
71 and they were composed en
tirely of the moss-back followers
of that reckless gang, with those
who professed any intelligence,
decency left out. The sturdy
farmers, good honest men, who
originally were roped in, under
the nattering and insidious
promises of Marion Butler, have
seen the utter hollowness of their
principles and have determined
to retrace their steps, allying
themselves with that old party
that has been battling against all
principalities and power for the
redress that the Third Party pro
fess to want, to wit the wellfare
of the farmers. Economist-Falcon.
"When I was a Boy,"
Writes Postmaster J. C. AVoodson,
Forest Hill, W. Va., "I had a bron
chial trouble of such a persistent
and stubborn character, that the
doctor pronounced it incurable with
ordinary medicines, and advised
me to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.
I did so, and one bottle cured me.
For the last fifteen years, I have
used this preparation with good
effect whenever I take
A Bad Cold,
and I know of numbers of people
who keepit in the house all the time,
not considering it safe to be with
out it."
"I have been using Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral in my family for 30 years, with
the most satisfactory results, and can
cheerfully recommend it as being espe
cially adapted to all pulmonary com
plaints. I have, for many years, made
pulmonary and other medicines a special
study, and I have come to the conclusion
that Ayer's Cherry Pectoral occupies a
position pre-eminent over other jsiedi
cines of the class." Chas. Daveiiiort,
