The North Carolina Legisla ture, which is composed largely of a "miscellaneous mob," will adjourn about March 12th. It is estimated that there are about one million oi deaf mutes in the world, forty thousand of whom are in the United States, What Ed. nton needs most now is less idleness and more industry, less "I can't" and more "I will," if she would enter upon a restor ation of business and prosperity The present Legislature will elect a large number of magis trates to hold for six years. They will all be probably of the Radi cal gang. What fine courts of justice there will be in North Carolina! Marion Butler's Populist or gan says, "the Caucasian has nothing to offer in defence of the Legislature for adjourning in honor of Fred Douglas. It thinks that the action was an unfortu nate blunder." Kdenton is one of the finest located towns in the State, and we can't see why it cannot be one of the leading towns, and if our monied men would only put shoulder to shoulder and help to make it so, it could be made one ot the wealthiest. It pays to invest in real estate in Kdenton. Every dollar in vested in real estate will more than double itself in a short time. More buildings arc needed in or der to accommodate those who would like to come and locate with us. and we hope our people will'start a building boom as the spring opens. The Radical Solons aie not patriotic, and North Carolinian enough to vote for lending $ 1 0,000 tJ erect a monument in memory of North Carolina's 42,000 dead soldiers who died in the great war for Second Independence. They can pay honors to a dead negro but cannot honor the dead soldiers of North Carolina. Wil mington Messenger. The Legislature of North Car olina refused to adjourn for Gen. Lee's birthday or for Washing ton's, but when 1-red Douglas died they swiftly adjourned out of respect to the memory of the man who has been a stirrer up of bad Mood and a very diligent Government teat holder and sucker, and enemy to the South. This has raised a great stir, and justly so. The very idea of preferring to honor Ered Douglas above George Washington and Robert K. Lee! It is truly the most shameful disgrace that any body of men have ever put upon the fair name of the good Old North State, and indeed, an insult to every decent North Carolinian. LET ALL SPEAK. Just now some ot our citizens are indulging in some grim and o-rewsome pleasantries concern ing the next city election. Of course this Fireside Com panion will print anything that is decent, so it says go in the morj candidates in the field be fore voting time, the more sport for the voters. It must be remembered that the city election is soon to be on, and it is hoped that every true Amer ican citizen, if he can't run for office himself, will see to it that a close friend does. mm Mr. B. L. Payne, a leading physician of Lexington, N. C.,is shot and killed by a young man of that place named Baxter Shorn well, who is in jail, After all, girls, the best way to get a husband is to pick out an eligible bachelor and listen with a pleased air to every word he says. New York Recorder. RANSOM MADE MINIS. ILK. Saturday last, the 23, the Presi dene sent to the U. S. Senate the nomination of Senator MattW. Ransom to be Envoy Extraordi nary and Minister Plenipotenti ary of the United Mates to Alex ico. Immediately after the nom ination of Mr. Ransom was re ceived Mr. Blackburn moved an executive session, and the nomi nation was forthwith taken up and confirmed by unanimous vote. The confirmation was moved bv Senator Sherman, whn in making the nomination, address- ed the Senate briefly as to the fit ness of the nomination, which, he said, was in every way deserv ing and appropriate. He refer red to Mr. Ransom's long term of service in the Senate and said that through his never failing courtesy and kind heartedness Senator Ransom had won the esteem, as through his ability, character and devotion to the public welfare, he has earned the respect of all his colleagues in the Senate. When the vote was taken -there was a general response :n the affirmative. The executive ses sion lasted but five minutes. Mr. Ransom made his escape to his committee room where the executive session was moved and was not present during the ex ecutive proceedings. The salary ol the Mexican :uission is M 7,500. senator Ransom is admirably equipped for any diplomatic mission, lie has served in the Senate for near ly four consecutive terms, is a born diplomat, speaks Ere:. eh and Spanish and is thoroughly at home in the Greek and Latin classics. lie is 6.S years old, but is strong and active. Senator Ransom's appointment and its hearty ratification by the Senate, is exceedingly gratifying to his North Carol tna friends. EVERYBODY DISSATIS FIED. News & Observer. No papers have been so harsh on this Legislature as the Cauca sian and the Progressive Farmo We have already quoted from the r,yn,-.7sif7j ehar-inr that the w ' - C5 Z "money power" exerted great in flueuce, and now comes the Pro orressirc Farmer saying: "Unless the Legislature does better work during the remain der of the session than it has up to this time the members had better not go home." The truth is that this Legisla ture has pleased nobody The Democrats, naturally, do not like it. All the Republicans, except those who have been given, or expect to be given office denounce it. The Populist denounce it, and even Butler, who dominates it, casts slurs upon the men who have elevated him to a position he cannot fill. TALK UP YOUR TOWjN. The very best advertisement a town or city can receive, very sensibly asserts the Jacksonville Times-Union, is the enthusiastic praise of those who form its pop ulation. Alwavs be ready to say a good word for it, and instead of heralding any drawbacks or de fects which may exist, go to work to devise and apply a remedy so that they will no longer be there to be talked about. Every good citizen will grasp all opportuni ties to advertise the advantages and attractions of the community in which he lives, fully realizing that the common interest is nec essarily his own. But how many there are, re marks our Jacksonville contem porary, who, on account of spite, malice and disappointment, will pursue exactly the opposite course, and find all to condemn and nothing to praise. It there be any public improvement pro jected they will give to it as black an eye as lies in their power, and if the enterprise is perfected, despite their opposi tiou, they have a constant theme for prejudiced and unfair criti cism, Richmond Timjs: There was such a reckless disregard of com mon smse and decency by the author and supporters of the Douglas resolution that there is strong hope that the infamous alliance of free silver Democrats and black Republicans will com plete their political suicide. All eood citizens of North Carolina and their well wishers outside devoutly pray it may speedily be done. FREEZING IN DIXIE. "O, Dixie land was the land o' lizzards B it it's turned to the land o' blizzards; Freeze away, Freeze away Freeze away down South in Dixie! Cold winter came with brag an' blaster, Caught Miss Spring in linen duster Freeze away, Freeze away Freeze away down South in Dixie! Then I wish I weren't in Dixie, Freeze away, Freeze away Then I wish'! weren't in Dixie laud, To sneeze and freeze in Dixie, Lord knows, I'm froze I'm froze down South in Dixie ! Atlanta Constitution THE INTEREST BILL. TKXT OF THE LAW MAKING SIX PER CENT. THE RATE OF IN TEREST IN NORTH CAR OLINA. Sec. I.

That this act shall not apply to contracts executed heretofore. Sec. 3. That all laws and clauses of laws in violation of t.iisactare hereby repealed. THE FREEZE AT NAG'S HEAD. Nag's Head, Eeb, 1895. There are some old people in this section of the country, but none old enough to remember such a time as we have had since the 7th inst. Ice many feet thick; the north west winds brought the drift of ice down heie and has banked it up, until from here to Roanoke Island it is almost solid. We have a natural bridge from here to Mauteo, and quite a number have been too and fro. On the 1 2th we had a fearful snow storm and as we have had no weather to melt the snow or break up the ice, it makes Nag's Head anything but pleasant. If the ice should break up with a south west wind, the destruc tion will be great; not only to the Hotel whaifand its surroundings, but many of the cottages will surely go, as the ice is now bank ing up around many of them. The suffering" among the na tives for food and fuel has already commenced and the stock (every thing being frozen) will fare but common eight head of cattle are dead in one pile about three miles below, and I know the ponies that live on the marsh all winter, and sheep that have no care taken of them, will die. This is a nice place in the summer, but when the winter begins, with heavv winds and not a broom straw to dodge behind, its something else; and you may thank your stars you ain't in it. All the small boats belonging to the natives are broken in and covered over with ice. A uum ber of the fishermen had their nets setting and of course they are gone. Quite a number of ducks, and brant have been killed, The geese have shown their good sense and have gone to look for the country called the "Sunny South." The ducks are becom ing poor, without food or water for ten days. There is only one air hole anywhere in this section; its the big one to the eastward of us (Atlantic.) It is impossible to get any corn down here, and owing to the scarcity, quite a number ot hogs have been taken with the "still jaw." It is very fatal; the jaw ceases to move, then heart fail ure, and then, dead hog. Tell the people in Kdenton to stay home until summer, its a poor time to pick up shells, on the beach, and I am told there are no soft crabs. Fishing vitli hook and line is not pleasant nor profitable, nor is the bathing very good at this season. I hope when this freeze is over, you will hear better news from Nag's Head than I can give you just now cut off as we are from the outside world, with a scant allowance of the necessaries of life and no stcani-u-lants. Its what I call "bearing on the crupper." W. H. Jay. A HOUSEHOLD TREASURE. D. W. Fuller, of Canajohorie. N.
