ARTESIAN WELLS. THEY ARE PROVING A GREAT SUCCESS IN SOUTH CAROLINA THERE IS NO Pi ACE NEEIS THEM MORE THAN EBENTON Tile following from the Sump ter correspondent of the Charles ton Nkl's & Courier should be read and carefully considered by the people of Edenton. There is no question but that a pure water supply is one of the great estjimportance tothe people in the Eastern part of North and South Carolina: "Dr. E. F. Darby, of Magno lia, this county, was in town yes terday and was telling of the very successful attempts to bore Artesian .wells at Magnolia. All of the wells thus far put down, four in number, proved to be flowing wells. In three of them the water rises from three to four feet above the ground. The fourth well, on the place of Mr. T. N. Griffin, a short distance from Magnolia, gives a stream of forty gallons per minute that rises thincen feet above the sur face of the ground. The water from the well is clear and pure, without any apparent trace of mineral. It is light and palat able, and much superior in every way to that obtained from the ordiir-ry wells. Very little difficulty was expe rienced in sinking the wells, only one stratum ot rock having been struck in any of them. At the depth of sixty feet a stratum of sandstone about fourteen inches in thickness was struck, but was pierced without oreat labor. The remainder of the distance was through clay, gravel and saud. The water-bearing stratum from which the wells ob tained the flow was penetrated at a depth of 125 to 140 ftxt. The wells cost very little when the character ot 'the water and the convenience of always hav ing at hand an abundant supply of pure water is considered. The wells cost $50 ior the first 100 feet or less and 50 cents per loot for each additional foot. .Several more of these wells will be put down in and around Mag nolia, and it migut be well ior the example of this people to be followed by other communities where waterfront the old-fash ioned pumps and weils is not above the suspicion of malaria." Money in Walnut Trees. The editor of the Press and Carolinian recently sold a walnut tree for 75. He gives this ad- Vice: Plant some walnuts, brother, plant some walnuts. You can plant 160 trees on an acre and never interfere with farming. In tweutv years time the trees will be worth $75 apiece. You can get one years growtn by placing the walnuts in single layer on smooth ground and covering with thin layer of dirt, then when they have had about two freezes they will crack open; then the first warm spell plant them in squares in an old field 160 to the acre. The walnut enriches the soil and soon you will have a fine field fit for cultivating and growing crops and your walnuts will also be increasing 111 value at the rate of ten cents per tree each year to a certain peri- when it is augmented in air. est geometrical proportion, i uiest business in the world. "Savie?" A big field of walnuts planted now will be of more value to your boy when you die than a big bank account. North Caro lina is the home of the walnut. m Breaking Into The Nap. A rather unique token of the business revival of the country is found in the fact that a Con- necticut clock firm the other day received an order for 100,000 alarm clocks. It is quite plain that business is waking up. Cincinnati Enquirer. If Sunday is a day of rest And all agree they think it so. Why do the men put on their best And to the crowded church go? Why not loaf in flowing robe, And have some ease as we desire Get down the book and read of Job Or what the devil does with fire? The reason is perhaps that a great many people would rather go to church. This seems to be the logical proposition. In many cases, the first work of Ayer's Sarsaparilla is to expel the ef fects of the other medicines that have been tried in vain. It would be a sav ing of time and money if experiment ers took Ayer's Saiaaparilla at first in stead of at last. THE DAY OF YOUNG MEN- THEY ARE AT THE FRONT IN LARGER NUMBERS THAN EVER BEFORE The young man who hesitates to acceptor assume stations of responsibility and trust because of his youthfulness, and waits for the dignifying and soKfying in fluence of mature years to fit him for the position, is not a close student of the lives of men who have impressed their names on their country's history. While old men shake their heads and remark i n halfcomplaining tones that boys know more than their fathers these days, yet from no source does the ambis tious, determined young man re ceive more cordial encourage ment and support than from those same men who declare they are being sheived for the boys. It is not that youth knows more than age. But when a youth, buoyant with hope and confidence, his vision undimmed by the doubts and prejudices engendered by long acquaintance with the world, his ambition not withered by years of dreary struggle for subsistence, his heart full of love for humanity, and his soul vibrant with the grand possibilities of life when such a youth, fresh from study and with intellect well stored, can mount at once to the point reach ed by his father through years of bitter experience, and from the vantage ground begin the battle of life, he is the better equipped of the two. Hist as a "dwarf mf perched upon the shoulders of a giant can see further than the giant." Those youths who think young men have not ufair chance, and those older men who think young men not able to fill im portant stations, may each learn a lesson from the record of the past. Henry Clay was in the Senate of the United States, contrary to the Constitution, at twenty-one. Webster was in a college atfiN teen, gave evidence of his great future before he was twenty-five and at thirty lie was the peer of the ablest man in Congress. Charles James Fox was in Par liament at nineteen. Martin Luther had become largely dis tinguished at twenty-four and at thirty-six had reached the top most round of his world wide fame. Peel was in Parliament at twentyone. Napolean at twen-, ty-five commanded the army of Italy. At forty he was not only one of the most illustrious Gen erals of the time, but one of the great lawgivers of the world. At forty-six he saw Waterloo. Washington was a colonel in the army at twenty-two, President at thirty-seven. Judge Story was in Harvard at fifteen, in Congress r.t twenty-nine and Judge of the Supreme Court of the United States at thirty-two. Gladstone was in Parliament at twenty-two, and at twenty-four was First Lord ot the Treasury. William Pitt entered college aF fourteen, was Chancellor of the Exchquer at twenty-two. Prime Minister at twenty-four, and when thirty five was the most powerful un crowned head in Europe. Byron wrote "English Bards and Scotch Reviewers" at twenty-one and published "Childe Harold" at twenty-four. Alexander Steph ens went to the Legislature at twenty-four and Congress at thirty-one. Henry Grady re fused a nomination to Congress at thirty-two and made his New England speech, which gave him National reputation, at thirty six. These instances are only cited to remind older men that the world has ever been ready to give distinction to young men who command it by their abili ties and to show young men of brains and pluck that nobody is trying to keep them back. At no time in the world's history has ability been disregarded because coupled with youth, and never were there more doors open to young men than today. WRY WORRY. Our esteemed contemporary, the Charlotte Observer, puts a good deal of wisdom in the fol lowing remarks which we take from its editorial columns: There is very little philosophy inpeople who lose sleep worrying about other people accummulat ing great wealth, fearing that a few men will ultimately absorb all the money and property of the country. This is one of those things that regulate them selves. "He heapeth up riches," said the wise man, "and who shall gather them?" Jay Gould dies and his property is divided up so that no Gould is worth a! tenth of what he was. A Vau-j derbilt girl is about to marry a' Jook and chase off to England with a share of the Vauderbilt millions. Another rich man dies and a lot of dissipated sons blow in the matrimony. So it goes. "We brought nothing iu the world and it is certain that we can take nothing out;" and equally certain that the accumti' lations of the wealthiest will soon be divided between the tens and then the hundreds and after awhile the thousands. Whv worry, then? CHURCH STREET--looking East from Granville. A Level-Headed Teacher. The colored principal of the Alabama colored Normal Insti tute at Tuskegee is a level-headed individual. He teaches his students that "it is better for them to spend their time and strength in learning to be car penters, dairymen, truck garden ers or contractors than to spend it in making stump speeches." Teachers who carry such level heads as this one are worth a a rood deal to the colored race JUDGE CALDWELL. In the earlier days of our State there were some rough charac ters about the court assemblings, so that even judges had tiieir troubles. On one occasion, at Gatesville Court, perhaps one stalwart fisherman stalked into the court room throwing his arms akimbo, and remarked in corn whiskey style, I'm a horse! I'm a horsel ! Whereupon Judge Caldwell said, "Sheriff, take that horse and put him iu the stable." The Court went on as if nothing had happened, and perfect order prevailed, as was usual at all of the good old Judge's courts.. Branson. Hon. L. C Latham Dead. Ex-Congressman Louis C. Latham, of Greenville, is dead, having died at the Maryland University Hospital in Balti more. He had suffered for some time from stomach trouble and went to Baltimore for treatment. An operation was performed, but on m 4 1 1 account of the weakened condi tion of Mr. Latham he could not stand the shock. Mr. Latham was 55 years of ao-e. xie represenieu me r-irst North Carolina District in Con gress several times. He fought on the Confederate side, and reached the rank of major. His remains were escorted by ex-Governor Jarvis to Greenville, at which place they were in terred. Capt. Ashe to Re-Enter Jouanal ism. Capt. S. A. Ashe is to re-enter journalism. He will soon begin the publication 01 a weekly Democratic newspaper, to be called "The State." Captain Ashe was for years one of the leaders of journalism in this State. He has many warm ad mirers who are pleased to hear that he will again mount the tripod. Shooting at a Cake Walk. On Friday night last, a colored man from Ncwbern, shot and fatally wounded five persons at a cake walk at Fellowship, a small town in New Jersey While the fight was in progress the negro was shot from behind and finally disaimed and arrested, It is said the negro is wanted in this State for shooting his father-in-law. Hanged Herself For Love. Miss -Nellie Easley, a hand some and highly cultured young lady,, 21 years old, of Mount Washington, Ky., committed suicide last Friday night by hanging. She placed a rope over. the limb of a tree, got on a chair, and placing the noose over her head, kicked the chair from under her. Unreciprocated af fection was the cause. But One Thing Lacking. She shuts her eyes whene'er we kiss, This maid so sweet and good, And from my inmost heart I wish Her mother also would. Cheerfulness. Cheerfulness is always in place, except at a funeral or a dying bed. The house of God should be a cheerul place and people should come with grave but cheerfull mien before the Lord. Right iu the home, in the pres ence of father, mother, all the children and servants, is where good cheer should be manifest in looks and speech. So in God's house the same thing is beconK ing. Under the beams of divine love coming into the heart there should be light and comfort and peace. The situation justifies good cheer in the soul, and there is nothing out of harmony with the occasion. Ex. A Big Drop in Cotton. On Monday last the cotton market declined 58 points in two hours and forty minutes. A drop of 58 points in a single day is something that has not ' occur red for fully fifteen years. The decline is due to a heavy break in New Orleans, owing to the failure of a corner by the La bouise Company. Avoidable Expenses. It costs money to neglect re pairing the fences while the ground is soft. It costs money to have a poor fence around pastures, for the cattle to break through. It costs money to allow the manure to lie under the leaves, and fertilize the roadside or nearest stream. It costs money in the extra feed required to keep cattle and horses together in the same yard. It costs money to allow the cows to become poor during the winter and take all summer to recover condition. It costs money to let the ma nure lay in piles all winter when labor is cheap and work scarce, and draw it out in spring, when labor is high and work abundant.

News Gathered Here There, and Everywhere. OF INTEREST TO ALL PICKED UP AND PUT IN SHAPE FOR THE BUSY READER. Mabel Paige Company is show ing at Raleigh this week. The colored State Fair will begin at the State Fair grounds at Raleigh Nov. 4th. The Baukers in Convention at Atlanta say there is something radically defective in our hnan cial system. The. great auditorium at Char lotte, N. C, with a seating capacity of 6,000, has been burned. It is estimated that 500,000 bicycles have been sold in this country this year, and the car riage builders feel it. We see it announced as com ing from Prof. Hicks, that water will freeze as usual this winter with the slippery side up. Comptroller Bowler in a long opinion reviewing the facts in the case decides that Senator Ransom is entitled to draw pay as Minister to Mexico from Aug. 29 th last. The fastest ocean "greyhound" is a Russian torpedo boat built in England. It has averaged 29-; knots an hour. In one hour it made 32 knots, which is 37 miles. The New York Herald says the Democrats in New York City "are fighting for harmony" now. When they fight for harmony it generally has to come, or some one will get hurt. The estate of the late D. T. Swindell, the merchant who died last week at Raleigh, which is said to be worth about $55,000 or $60,000, was only encumbered by a debt of $500. 1 , Governor Carr offers 5 100 re ward for Robert Dockery, against whom the grand jury of Chero kee county has found a true bill for the murder of of M. Brice. The crime was committed last month. Ex-Governor Foster, of Ohio, thinks delegates from the South should not be permitted to vote in Republican national conven- ventions, because t h c. South never helps to elect a Republi can President. Last Saturday night a freight train at Weldon, N. C. ran over Mr. R. B. Purnell, killing him instantly. He was one of the most progressive citizens of Wel don, and a most enterprising young business man of about 21 years of age. The New Berne Journal says that "a great crop of tobacco has been raised in Eastern Carolina this year, and in the sections where it has been raised the farmers have paid up their debts, unloading and paying off old mortgages, and everything has a prosperous outlook." One of the largest sailing ves sels afloat is now iu port at Phil adelphia, the four-masted British ship Liverpool. She registers 3,330 tons, is built of steel, measures 333 feet in length, 57 i feet in width, with a depth of hold of 26 feet. She takes out a cargo of petroleum for Japan. "The gunboats, Nashville and Wilmington have been success fully launched from the same ways at Newport News. They were constructed on the same building slip, one ahead of the other, and were launched from the same set of ways on the same day. It is the first instance of this kind in the ship building history of the United States. m m As The Seasons Pass. It's very, very hard to tell Just how a fad will strike. Where once on roller skates she fell She now essays the bike. Cincinnati Tribune. We know whereof we affirm when wc state that Ayer's pills, taken promptly, at the first symptoms of colds and fevers, arrest further progress of these disorders, and speedily restore the stomach, liver, and bowels, to their normal and regular action. HER BRIDAL0UTF1T. MissVanderbilt'sClothes, Jewelsand extraordi nary Presents. Miss Consuelo Vandetbilt spends several hours each day on shopping tours for her approach ing marriage with the Duke of Marlborough, always accom panied by her mother, and fre quently her maid. She inclines very much to light colors, and in selecting her wardrobe has confined herself exclusively to light shades. Macheret is mak ing a costume ot tan broadcloth handsomely embroidered in silk braid of the same tint. An out er garment of the ridingote style is to be worn with it. It is lined with pink-shot silk, and is a handsome traveling w rap Elaborate trimmings of sable emphasize its beauty. Matching this outfit is a tan velvet hat of shirred brim and soft cloth crown. Mercury wings aud 0. stylish arrangement of Dresden ribbon and feathery aigrettes adorn it. Of steamer gowns she is having half a dozen made. One is in loosely woven boucle cloth of navy blue, with scarlet predominating. The skirt is round and full, the bodice close-fittine: and double-breasted. A cape to match, cut after the golf fashion, is lined with navy blue aud scarlet plaid silk. Her morning robes are most beautiful. They are composed of pompadour silk in the faintest tints, and are ornamented in ex quisitely fine lace put on in ruf fles, and billowy cascades. Each is lined with cream taffetas. Some are made in the form of Empire gowns, with short waist and full clinging or accordion- plaited skirts. Others, with a robe effect, show a most befrilled petticoat in Valenciennes lace through the opening of the front. A profusion of ribbon is used to decorate these fascinating negligees, and the resultobtained is strikingly effective. In the lingerie ribbons play no inconspicuous part. Nar row headings are introduced everywhere as headings, and cream satin ribbon is inserted, finished off with p.rt little bow knots. No color will mar the beauty and purity of the soft and snowy undergarments. Her pet ticoats are of the umbrella shape, made with deep ruffles, which serve to hold out the bottom of the dress skirt. The one to be worn with the bridal robe will be of ivory brocaded satin. A succession of ruffles daintily shirred will reach the knee, each edged with thread lace Coquet tish bows will be placed at inter vals amid the very full ruffles, and such other finery as is fit for a queen will contribute to her bes longings. Miss Vanderbilt's casket of jewels already contains some of the most exquisite and valuable examplesof the goldsmith's skill. To this collection will be added the baubles and trinkets which the Duke is to supply, along with the Marlborough jewels. Lady William Beresford, the exsduch ess, has had duplicates made for Miss Consuelo of her famous set, which jewels are the admiration of the court circle abroad. These, with the extraordinary bridal gifts which are sure to be hers, will enhance considerably her estimated dower of many mil lions. The famous Gavitt collection of 1 5th century jewels and stones, which cost the owner half a dozen moderate fortunes, it is said, will be given by Mrs. Van derbilt to her daughter on the wedding day. The future Duch ess of Marlborough will probably have a finer display of jewels than any American girl who ever contracted a titled marriage. m m Acquiescence. "Since silence gives coasent," he said, "I'll kiss you thus: yum, yum." And afterwards the girl confessed She felt as if struck dumb.
