SHORT MEW. The first bale of new cotton was sold at Galveston, Texas, on Saturday last.' The State Board of Medical Examiners will hold an extra session at Wrightsville, August 26th. The Wilmington Messenger says there are phosphate beds in fourteen counties of North Carolina. A postal card mailed at Green ville, S. C, thirteen years ago, lias just readied Salisbury its destination. Three men at work on one of the gunboats at Newport News were shocked by lightning Tues day afternoon and rendered un conscious, but all recovered without serious injury. The Monroe Enquirer says: A gentleman in Goose Creek town ship has started a novel enter prise, lie has established a tur tle farm and will raise those amphibious animals for market. An exchange says that busi ness at all the cotton mills of North Carolina has greatly ims proved over that of last year. Some of the mills are running night and day, and some have turned orders away, not being able to fill them. On the ocean View and Nor folk Railroad, an old rail lying alongside the track was caught up by the engine and crashed through the running boards on the outside of the car, frightfully lacerating Conductor A. H. Page, throwing him across the ditch. Governor Carr has a letter from Mr. Isaac G. Meyer, of Clevelaud, Ohio, stating that the latter had purchased a large tract of land in Pasquotank county, on which he and his partner an E City man, propose to locate a large colony of Ohio farmers. Women who wear vests, stand ing collars and bloomers certain ly care nothing for biblical de nunciation. Tn Deuteronomy we read: "The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth to man, for all that do are an abom ination unto the Lord thy God' The Liucolnton Courier records the horrible death of a little boy eight years old, the sou of Henry Carpenter. The father carried home a bottle of whiskey. The little boy got hold of it and drank freely, and in a little while he went into spasms and died Here's a temperance lecture! A 17-year-old white lad, named Tucker, in Montgomery county, murdered a negro convict, he had in charge, while the latter was handcuffed, by shooting him twice with a rifle,and then buried his body in the sand, hurrying the rifle beside the body. The boy says the negro ran, and he shot at him, but that the negro got away. George R. List, a carpenter, met a horrible death at the Mt Vernon shops of the Pennsylvania Railway Company at Baltimore, lie was standing near a large cir cular saw when a pile of lumber toppled over on him, throwing him headlong against the swiftly revolving saw. In an instant the blade had bisected his brain. State Superintendent Scar borough has received a check for $5,000 from Cassius V. Car rier, of Carrier, Jefferson county, Pa., to pay for swamp lands in the Angola Bay section of Dup lin and Pender counties, just sold to him by the State Board of Education. There have been surveyed 4,429.9 acres of this lot, the remainder being paid for in advance. These lands net the State fifty cents an acre. Ves, says an exchange, these are hard times. We let our timber rot and buy fencing. We throw away our ashes and grease and buy soap. We raise dogs and buy hogs We let our ma nure go to waste. We grow -weeds and buy vegetables and brooms. We catch five cent fish with a $4 rod. We build school houses and send our children off to be educated. And lastly we send our boys out with a $40 gun and a $10 dog to hunt 10 cent girds. Truth Without Frills. The man who buries his talent kills himself. A soft answer will win where a club would fail. A fool empties his head every time he opens his mouth. If some men had a bulldog's teeth they would outdo him in biting. Many a man who is anxious to reform the world has a gate that is hanging by one hinge. At least one woman in five be lieves that if she had been in Eve's place Adam would be in the garden yet. The world is not dying be cause there is not more preach ing, but because there is so little practice. Ram's Horn. A Word to Girls. Girls, you must remember that to J paint, draw, sing, Jplay or dance are all nice accomplish merits, but you must also recol lect that in the course of human events you may be called upon to fill a sphere where you can not paint eatable loafs of bread, allay thirst by a song, lull a hungry man to sleep with a sonata, no matter how well it is executed, or dance your partner into good humor if his dessert was princi pally dough. All accomplish ments are desirable, but node are more essential than a practical knowledge of household duties, this is one of the essentials in your education that is .of pri mary, not secondary, importance, and no young woman's education is complete without a good train ing in household duties. Here is a hini to Edentou busi ness men. An exchange wants to know what makes one town grow into a city while others with equally good locations re main villages. It is because in the one case there are men of push and energy who are not alraid to spend their time and money to improve the town. They erect substantial buildings, organize stock companies, estab lish factories, work for public improvements and use every means in their power to induce people to locate in their town. They tell the advantages of their town wherever they chance to be, they write about it in every let ter, they send their home paper to every relative, when a friend comes to visit at their home they treat him with such kindness that he falls in love with them and the town at once. How Days of Grace Originated. According to the best accepted version, the custom originated in Venice in the fifteenth cens tury. A Hebrew money-lender held the note of a Christian that fell due on Friday. The Chris tian refused to pay on that day, or until the following: Monday, alleging the holy character of the days as an excuse, lie was taken before the magistrate who passed the matter on to the Council, which decided the Christian in the right, and fur ther passed an edict that any note falling due on a Friday could be lawfully paid as late as the fol lowing: Monday without the maker incurring che reproach of not discharging his debts at the proper time. Thus originated the "three days of grace," the custom being kept up long after its signifi cance had been forgotten. THE SAME CAT. B. V. Wolf, agent of the North German Lloyd Steamship Com pany in Middletown, N. Y., has a cat that he has for months been trying to get rid of. She has been given to fanners who have taken her miles away to their homes, time after time, but she has nev er failed to put in an appearance again at the Wolf mansion, alter brief absences. The other day Mr. Wolf went to New York; he put the cat in a bag, and placed it under the seat of the car. When the train reached Sterling ton, Mr. Wolf dropped the cat out of the window. Sterlington is forty miles from Middletown. Mr. Wolf transacted his business in New York and went home. This was on Tuesday. When he went home to supper on Thurs day night and sat down by his hearthstone there ivas the same cat. She got up, rubbed herself on her master's Jegs, and purred in a way that showed how she appreciated-his little joke. Wolf sat down and seemed dazed for a minute, Then he stroked the cat fondly, but respectfully, and said, You can stay here as long as you live if it's a hundred years. I'll get a gold collar for you and tie it full of red ribbons. Pussy, you're a dandy." EARLY CLOSING OF PLACES OF BUSINESS. In many cities and towns, both North and South, the idea of early closing has gained favor among business men and has rap idly developed into z. permanent "hot weather" movement. That is, the business houses who for merly kept open shop until late at night, close as early as eight o'clock. There are obvious reasons why this early closing movement shouldbe an all-the-year arrange ment. In the first place mer chants and others adhere to this method because it is an old shop worn custom. Now and again it is a wise thing to drop a cus torn. It would be especially so with this. Any custom that does not tend to create a higher civilization or benefit somebody had best be departed from. It is well known that instead of any one's receiving benefit or better civilization as the result of late business hours, the majority are greatly retarded in physical, mental, social and spiritual growth. Physically, because of the continued strain on the mus cles of the body from long stand ing, or irregular meals. Ment ally, because little or no oppor tunity is had for mental improve ment, either in study or other ways. Socially, because more olten there is a disposition on the part of young men clerks and others, to seek places of en joyment after business hours that materially injure their social life and character. Spiritually, in that young men are so often and nearly altogether debarred the privileges of church attendance, lectures, &c, that the young man needs. And instead of the Sabbath being spent as God in tended, there must be an effort made to rest so as to be ready for next week's duties. There is a greater evil that has to be contended with by those who work at night. The saloon is so much more easy of access when the shades of night subvert the gaze of friends and acquaint ances. But who is responsible for these evils? The merchant or other business man thinks, as others have thought, that if he does not cater to the wishes of customers, others will do it. The customer, then, is to blame. Those people who contend with the laboring man is not entitled to short work days, are the very ones that help to keep the yoke on the necks of overworked clerks in stores. They put off attending to certain matters un til at night, and the merchant will keep open to wait for this trade. If anyone wants to solve the problem, "How to reach the masses," let them begin by free ing the night workers, so that they may have an opportunity of being reached. We agree with a contemporary that says the few dollars picked up at night are at the expense of the health and lite of the clerks. This custom does not necessa rily apply to young men alto gether. There are almost as many heads of families who are in a like condition. The duties of home and the attention so important to the family's wel fare haye to be neglected. The same contemporary further says this state of things causes mur der by slow degrees. In one of our largest cities in this State a certain church cou- ceived the idea of petitioning the business houses t5keep open not later than ten o'clock on Satur day night. All places of busi ness, with the exception of the saloons, agreed to close at half past ten. The result was a bet ter church attendance, happier families, and a better moral tone given to the community. Surely this is no light ques tion to consider. The people who buv at night must be awakened to its seriousness when it has to do with the lives of fel- beings. Let the early closing movement pervade the entire land, until all shall realize how great a blessing shall result. The people would soon begin to act wiser if the merchants were a unit in early closing, and little time would revive and the clerks would be more likely to survive. Orphans' F:iend.
