EDENTON, N.C., Aug. 16th, 1893
A Mean Man.
One of the meanest, most con
temptible men on earth, says the
Warrenton Record, is the man
who deliberately goes into
meeting of his fellow men, who
he knows are striving to bmld
nr thf rommunitv in whicl
-
they live, with the express pur
pose and intentions to obstruct,
delay, hinder and throw cold
water upon the efforts of those
who are endeavoring to build up
and encourage progress and en
terprise. No community, town
or corporation will ever succeed
where there are any such men.
Don't tiy to hinder and destroy
the efforts of those who are try
ing to do something because you
can't boss it, or the enterprise is
r.ot run iust as vou want it. If
j
you can't help, why in the name
of common sense, and decency,
and gentlemanly respectability,
can't you keep your mouth shut
and keep hands off? If the enter
prise is not just what you think
it ought to be, why can't you
have charity enough about you
to refrain from trying to injure
the pusn and pluck of others.
Are you, kind reader, one of
those who find fault, sneer at and
belittle everything your more
public spirited fellow citizens
try to push forward and buildup
for the good of humanity and
civilization?
Are you one or those who will
try and ruin because they can't
rule? If so, stop, think. If you
can't help push up the hill, don't
pull backwards and contrary
wise.
Talking about the next nomi
nee for Governor, the Wilming
ton Messenger says: "There is
one important part of North
Carolina that the makers of Gov
ernors never deign to consider.
All the territory lying from
Wilson around by Newbern and
Onslow to Wilmington and
along the Cape Fear and from
Fayetteville towards Wilson is
never thought to produce Gov
ernors and United States Sena
tors. A most palpable mistake
as to the right man, and a syste
matic, deliberate overlooking of
a very important section for the
success of Democracy. No Sen
ator and no Governor has been
given to all this section fertile
enough in men of ability and in
Democratic voters since the war.
We can name a dozen who would
make Governors above the Dem
ocratic average and Senators who
would not bring reproach upon
the State. Some might be
named who by reason of knowl
edge, learning, general ability,
character, sound Democracy,
would adorn the Senate and up
hold the principles they profess
to cherish."
The Manufacturers' Record in
its report of new industries in
augurated at the South last week
srives this State six new cotton
mills: it says there is unusual
activity in all kinds of business
and industries, especially that of
iron. The contract of the Annis
ton (Ala.) company for piping
for Japan calls for 30,000 tons,
the largest foreign order ever
placed in America.
In proportion to population,
Germany raises nearly ten times
as inany potatoes as the United
States, and finds them a profit
able crop. As this country is
importing: between 2,000,000 and
3,000,000 bushels of potatoes a
year, our farmers should take the
hint, and need have no fear of
overproduction. Ex.
The Democratic State Con
ventions that are being held
prove that the silver men are
sound. The talk about the sin
gle gold policy gaining is all
bluster.
Don't go West, Young Man.
We give the following for the
encouragement of our farmers
who think they are having an
exceedingly hard time to live and
make both ends meet.
The raising of horses in our
State is regarded as a safe, good
business, and wheat is worth
from seventy cents to one dollar
per bushel.
A letter receivea ironi ut.iu,
. . 1 r T T 1.
who. with his familv. is travel
ing out West, while not written
for publication, contains some
interesting items, which we take
the liberty of using. His letter
is dated from Spokane, Wash.,
where he met PatWmston, known
throughout North Carolina. The
doctor says Pat loves North Car
olina and everybody in the State,
and has shown them every at
tention. Wheat, he says, sells there for
seventeen cents a bushel, costing
thirty cents to raise it. "Four
hundred and seventy-five horses
sold here in the street this week
for fifty cents each. You can buy
them any time for $3 to $10.
This is a silver-mining section,
but the industry is very flat just
now. If you wan'tto get rich (?)
come West. This town has five
churches and 204 bar-rooms,each
paying a license of $500 a year.
They are allowed to use screens
and keep open all night if they
wan't to" bars not churches.
Greensboro Record.
Encourage the Editor.
The editor can always write
more cheerfully of the business
interests of a town when his col
umns are liberally filled with the
advertisement of the business
houses. No editor can advocate
the doctrine of buying from home
merchants unless the home mer
chants show they are interested
in catering to the home trade by
advertising in the columns of
the local newspaper.
It is depressing to the editor to
find business men patronizing
every advertising fake that comes
along, and at the same time the
names of those business men are
rarely, if ever, seen in the ad
vertisintr columns of the local
newspaper. Salisbury Herald.
A Woman Sheriff.
In Greene county, Missouri
Mrs. Helen C. Stewart has been
appointed sheriff to succeed her
husband, who died a few weeks
ago. Sue is said to be the first
woman sheriff in the United
States, or in the world, and it is
thought that when her term exs
pires she will be nominated by
the Republicans for tnat omce
All Quiet at Winston.
The Tuttle trial at Winston,
over which the recent race riot
occurred, has ended. The jury
brought in a verdict of murder
in the second degree, for which
Judge Ihrown commended the
jury-
All is quiet at Winston now.
The Grand Jury is investigating
the matter.
Premium List of State Fair.
The premium list of the 35th
animal North Carolina State
F'air has been received. It will
be held at Raleigh on October
22d to 25th, inclusive. Col.
Julian S. Carr is President and
John Nichols. Secretary. A big
effort will be made to make it a
big success.

Abandon the Idea.
It is now announced that re
gard for the protests of the
country against the Atlanta Ex
position's sham bull fights has
caused the authorities to abandon
the idea of naving them. A sen
sible decision.
A Colored Eye Doctor.
A colored doctor at Statesville
practiced on the eyes of a color
ed child until he about succeeded
in putting them out, and now he
is in court, according to the
Landmark, for practicing with
out license.
The longest paved street in
the world is Washington street,
Boston, Mass., which is 17 and a
half miles. The shortest street
is the Rue Ble, which is barely
20 feet long.
The Scotland Neck Kuittine
Mills are running until 9 o'clock
at night to fill orders for fall

Skeleton on his Hook.
Ebcnczer Likely was fishing
in Sinnipink Lake, near West
Point, Md., when his hook be
came fastened in some object
on the bottom of the lake. With
hi.? friends help he sac-d-d in
pulling the skelein.i of a man to
the surface. When it came in
contact with the air it went to
pieces. The bottom was dragged
x
and a pair. of big Hessian cavalry
boots were brought up from their
century-old resting place. An
enormous sabre was also flashed
up. At the time Fort Montgom
ery was captured bv the British,
the heaviest part of the fighting
occurred on the banks of the
lake and into its quiet waters
were flung the Hessians who
were slain.
It is said that on every voyage
