It is said that Judge Norwood, of the Superior Court bench, this State, will be impeached for drunkenness. The Asheville (N. C.) Demo crats have already begun to or ganize for their municipal cam paigu next Spring. A little child of John C. Shaipe was choked to death with a piece of bread, near Greensboro, last week. A Methodist paper, the organ of the N. C. Conference is to be established at Raleigh. Rev. T. N. Ivey is to be the. editor at $ i 500 salary. Secretary J K.

Under the Florida laws tramps may be arrested without written warrants and magistrate's have the power to commit them to county jails and to authorize the county authorities to employ them at hard labor, or to lease them to citizens who desire to employ them. During the year the Odd Fellows iu this State have made considerable gains. Grand Sec raarv B. II. Woodall, whose office is now at Raleigh, says the order has 5,000 members and there are 155 lodges.

The Supreme Court decides that where a druggist sold opium to a man's wife, aft. r the hus. baud had warned him not to do so, and the opium affected the woman's health, the druggist is liable for damages. The case is one without precedent. The court further holds that the law fulness or unlawfulness of the sale of laudanum depends upon the circumstances of the sale and the use to which the laudanum is to be appl-ed.

LEFT ALONE, ONE LITTLE TOT NEARLY MURDERS HER SISTER. WITH A RAZOR. MOTHER FINDS THEM ROLLING ON THE FLOOR IN A POOL OF BLOOD. Two babies were left alone in a house at Eastport, Long Island, on Monday last, and they found a razor to play with. One cut the other and the injured child is now iu a critical condition. The little ones are Josie and Lucy Raynor, aged four and three years. They are the brightest and merriest little tots in the neighborhood and" are idolized by their mother. Mrs. Raynor left them alone tor a few minutes Monday while she went over to the depot to meet her husband, H. Raynor, who was expected to arrive on the noon train. The train was delayed and the mother worried over the children during the tedious wait. As soon as it arrived she met her husband and the two hurried to the house, which was within five minutes' walk of the depot. As the parents approached their home they heard the piercing shrieks of the young child. Fearing something unusual had happened they hastened their steps. The mother was the first to reach the house. As she opened the door into the kitchen where the children were an appalling sight met her gaze. Both chil dren were rolling over one ans other in a pool of blood, the elder gashing the younger one with a razor which she held in her clinched hand, while Lucy was alternately trying to protect herself with uplifted hands from her sister's onslaught, and ats tempting to grasp the razor which had inflicted many Severe gashes on her body and hands, from which the blood was spurt ing in every direction. The frantic mother recovered the razor and immediately sent for Dr. Rogers, the village phys ician, while in the interval she attempted to check the flow of blood. In this, however, she was only partially successful, and it seemed as if the child would bleed to death. Her little fingers were gashed, and it was feared that she would lose them, but since they have been care fully bandaged anrl there is now a reasonable hope that they may be saved. She is, however, lying iu a critical condition. Her sister, Josie, on account of her hold at the razor escaped severe injury. This Highway Leads to Success. We want every business man who wishes to get out of the old narrow ruts and get their wagon started on the broad macadamtiz ed highway of prosperity to real ize the fact that: "Advertising is the suspension bridge over the chasm of disaster, and leads from the poverty-striken little hamlet of Sleepyville to the marts and exchanges of the city of Success." And if they ever expect to leave the herd of small fry behind we mean the kind who plod along year in and year out and hardly manage of make "buckle and tongue meet" at the end of the year they must strikeout for themselves and let the world know what their busi ness is and what advantages they have to offer to thos2 who have dealings with them. If this course is pursued in a business like manner and the advertiser has anything good to offer his customers he may depend upoif success. Rocky Mount Argo naut Steamer Sunk. The steamer J. C. Moore, Cap tain Cottrell, which left Norfolk on the 10th instant for Bruns wick, Ga., sprung aleak on the 12th and sunk about ten miles south of Cape Lookout. The crew took to the lifeboat and landed at Beaufort, N. C. Rheumatism is caused by lactic acid in the blood. Hood's Sarsaparilla neutralizes the acid and cures rheumatism. "DONTS" For Christinas Shoppers. Don't be cross. Don't be impolite. Don't push; just shove. Don't forget the poor. Don't get in people's way. Don't give a friend cheap jew elry. Don't buy your wife a cook book. Don't buy a bargain-counter razor. Don't forget to be a "cheerful giver." Don't forget your faithful do mestics. Don't purchase Christmas gifts as an investment. Don't spend the landlord's money for presents. Don't buy for children presents that are easily broken. Don't put off your shopping until Christmas Eve. Don't forget to remove the price tag from presents. Don't buy Christmas gifts on the time-payment plan. Don't buy cigars for your hus band at an auction house. Don't buy expensive presents when you can't afford them. Don't forget that 99 cents is but one cent less than a dollar. Don't hold a reception with your friends at a bargain counter. Don't have anything charged if you can just as well pay for it. Don't fail to keep a keen eye on the advertisements in this paper. Don't spend more than you can afford, just to keep up false appearances. Don't take your children to the toy shops if you wish them to believe in Santa Claus. Don't give a present merely because you think its recipient intends to give you one also. Don't buy mottoes, such as "The Lord Will Provide," for distribution among the poor. Don't forget that charity and good will should be the leading motives of every Christmas shop per. Don't forget that a load of coal or a barrel of flour is a very ac ceptable Christmas present to some people. Don't buy your husband that same old pair of slippers, inas much as there are a half dozen pairs lying around the house. Don't give a present that might cause offense. For ex ample, soap is an excellent thing in itself, but hardly an appropri ate token of remembrance. Better Public Schools. We do hope that the next Legislature will increase the pay of our public school teachers. No class of people work harder and longer for such meager pay as do the North Carolina public school teachers. In many of the Western States the public school teachers are paid seventy-five dollars per month. Here in North Carolina a first grade teacher spends twenty days in a miserable, crowded school room and gets thirty dollars for his work. Pay the teacher more, make the public system better. Monroe Enquirer . Dog and Mule Experiment. The first trial of Ohio's elec trocution machine, just set up in the State prison at Columbus has been made, and a large bull dog was the victim. He was strapped in the chair exactly as a man would be and the hair shaved from his body where the electrode was applied. Fifteen hundred volts were turned on. Death was apparently instantan eous. The machine will be tried in the presence oi the prison managers with a mule for a victim next week. How's This?

An expressman was driving a horse on Adams street, Chicago, on Saturday last, which was find ing it difficulty to pull a wagon heavily loaded with household goods. The driver was cursing the animal and belaboring it with a whip at every step. A number of citizens called to him to stop when near Wabash avc., and for reply he turned the whip about and used the handle on the jaded beast. At this point a handsome, styn lishly dressed woman ran into the street and called on the brutal driver to stop. He paid no attention, and as his whip descended once more she seized it and pulled it from his grasp. He jumped from his wagon with a curse and a number of men rushed into the street to inter fere. The young woman, who after ward gave her name as Miss Warner, pushed them aside and commenced to beat the express man over the head with the butt end of his whip. She did not desist until she broke the whip over the driver's head. The ar rival of a policeman, who allow ed the expressman, bruised and bleeding, to depart, dispersed the crowd.
