The truckers of this section are in a more prayerful attitude just now than for mouths past, the burden of their desire being that lurther frost be postponed till next Fall. The people of this section of the country are wonderfully blessed no appalling disasters such as befell the Illinois town Sunday afternoon, it b?iu swept away by Hood. If the war scare is not over soon, says the Norfolk Ledger, interest in the coining baseball season is not likely to reach the boiling point with any great de gree of celerity. With an ac tual war this would be an off year for sport. News from the diamond would be flat alongside of an account of a duel between the Iowa and Vizcaya, for in stance. Most of the warships of the United States are now either in American waters or on their way hone. Practically every foreign station has been strip ped of vessels, with the excep tion of the Asiatic station. The fleet in home waters will soon number 33 warships, including 10 torpedo boats and 23 battle ships, monitors, cruisers and gunboats. The Watauga Democrat says apropos of the call for the Dem ocratic convention: "The proper thing, we think, is for the Democrats to open the doors of the party so wide that all the honest voters who want better government in the Old North State to come in and vote for honest, good men for office. All who think more of principle than party will vote for better men than now hold office in North Carolina. Sure ly they do not want to continue in office such incapable men a? W2 have now at the head of af fairs. Let us all resolve to put such a crowd out and better men in." Mr. J. L. Whedbee, the fusion member of the State Senate from Perquimans, is after Harry Skinner with a card headed "Con-Fusion versus Fusion." The card is addressed to the vo ters of the First District, and among many other things said, is this: "That almost the solid mass of the Republicans, (save some very lew who may be lor 'ring rule' possibly) are stiongly opposed to further support of Harry Skinner. In the most emphatic terms, the fiat has gone forth from the Republican 'wig wain' to the rank and file, that Col. Skinner cannot again n ceive the Republican support for his return to Congress, mat ters not what sort of rigs and intrigues that may be used to the contrary." I was reading an advertise ment of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera, and Diarrhoea Remedy in the Worcester Enterprise re cently which leads me to write this. I can truthfully say I never used any remedy equal to it for colic and diarrhoea. have never hai to use more than one or two doses to cure the worst oase with inyself or chil dren. W. A.

TJw fas timUa lfuture 5f Urn vnppn BUILT UP BY A PULL TO GETHER. A Lesson in Home Patronage A Long Pull, A Strong Pull and a Pull Altogether. To build up a state, a city or a town and make it prosperous and contented, is a ieat of no little consequence and often of vrv ereat magnitude. It re quires a full understanding of conditions, ot necessities, 01 available material and of aids abroad. Cities have been de velootd bv fo tinate railroad connections. Others, like An gusta, Ga., and Charlotte, have been ereatly and chiefly pushed forward by manufacturing, aided, of course, by easy rail road communication with the markets. Wide awake peopl are quite apt to be on the alert for onnortunities. Thev are 11 prompt to seize the epochal hour, and to irasn the means , 0 4 presented for reaching wider and greater fields. 1 hey arc ready to Invest in whatever plat that promise good to the city, and to place money in such in vestments as seem to business understanding to present guar antees of success. Lately in several newspapers in and out of North Carolina, the Messen ger has noted editorials urging the people in the towns to keep their money circulating at home and to make purchases of th-Jr fellow citizens and shares in burden bearing. The Messen ger had something to say on this matter some month or two since. It has many times in sisted that the people living in any community should as far as possible make their purchases at their doors instead of ordering what they buy from the North, and whenever possible to do so to be sure to patronize home en terprise and town industries We try to practice what we preach. Iegiing pardon for a personal reference, we can say that we have not bought a cent's worth of personal wear since we reached Wilmington in 1876, outside of the town. It is only in books that we have gone from home, and that was very infrequent, and partially nects sary, but have purchased through a Wilmington house. It is only by keeping your purchases at home that a busi ness can be built up successfully to meet all your demands and give you the best advantages as to prices. Doubtless by judicious ordering you can save some money, but you are injuring home business and cutting off prosperity all about you. If everybody should do as so many do order whatever you need from aliens, and sometimes even enemies, the grass would grow in the streets ot all southern cities, business would complete ly stagnate, stores would be closed, people would have to flee co escape starvation. Do unto others as you voul be done by under like circumstances. That is a golden rule and iollow it How much cash goes out from North Carolina in a )car to support and enrich strangers and to the injury of home peo pie seeking to make a living, we do not know, but doubtless some millions of dollars. We suppose Wilmington does an active business in ordering from Northern dealers instead of buy ing fiom friends and neighbors and frjm them you know. Turn over a new leaf ind quit this way of unfriendly and unjust discrimination. Give dealers at your doors a living chance and demand in turn fair dealing and a living for yourself. Not only buy your, goods at home, but buy whatever is manufactured in your town where the pro ducts are satisfactory as to equal-, ity. The Augusta Chronicle dis cusses intelligently the benefits of patronizing home industries manufactures. This, too, like purchases from home dealers, is important. The Chronicle gives this to show what benefits would accrue : "Let us gbmce at some of the effects of such a policy ? First, it would insure the success of a home industry, giving employ ment to skilled workmen. Third, the wages paid these laborers and the profits made by tht manufacturers will be expended for living expenses in this com muuity or invested in local prop erty, and last' but not leat, the object lesson of this industry's success will induce similar in vestments in other lines. Just let it become established that Augusta is a community thai patronizes home industries and there will be many new and di versified manufactories spring ing up in the city." A pull altogether would great ly improve the business outlook in any community. It would be worked well. Wilmington Messenger. ETcryooay Says So. .
