A recent issue of Charity aud Children contained the following editorial on the above subjects "We have again and again prg ed apon our people the impor tance of establishing small fuoto riesfor working up the timber we are now selling In foreign markets at little; or no profit Uigh Point stands ready always to back our argument with the cold cash. Twenty years ago it was a atraggling.railroad station today it is a fine town of nearly dye thousand people with twenty oJd furniture . factories, all on a solid basis. We have been id formed that every single one of these factories has a "gilt edge' credit and pays; handsome divi dends to - its owners. Here in Thomasville we have a half dozen footories that - manufacture spokes and handles, chairs, chif foniers, veneering, sasb.doors and blinds, &o. They are all highly prosperous and the stock is not for 6ale. The beauty about these smaller industries is that they can be started on a capital that is within easy reach of the ordinary North Carolina town. From two to five thousand dollars is ample sufficient to begin on. Anofher thine is. that like the aavinir bank, they benefit people of small C V . . " - . " means, and do not appeal ' to men already rich. This is a matte rtf great moment. The third and best feature is one that we have often mentioned before, and that is that 'neither children nor wo men can be employed, except to do errands or clerical work. Thus the ' head of ' the family takes the natural places as bread winners for. the household, and not as lordly loafers toeain the money queailon and d rink cheap whiskey.' We shall refer to this matter in detail later on; giving som facts and figures.'' Commenting ou the same sub t ject the Wilmington Messenger Woodworking in North Caroli na attracts attention. In twpor three newspapers beyond the state we have lately seen refer ence to it Mr. Bryaul in the Charlotte Observer gave some needed information concerning thi, too much negleoted.industry He visited High Point on the Southern railroad, in Randolph county He found : it to be the foremost-of etll our towns in the making of furniture. The follow ing extract trout Mr, Bryant's letter will literally "astonish the natives" and make them put on their wonder caps. He tells what bat comparatively few know, and what wtts unknown to part of us. "A visit to the High Point fur. nlture and wood working con cerns would ' do more than the state fair to inform one as to what the state is doing in that line. The factories there make every thing from acradleloacofiiu, lit te rally .speaking. Concerns there also make houses, ready to be put ' together in any part of the state When the house is up and ready for occupancy, the facto- ries of High Point can furnish it from parlor to kitchen. Every article of furniture needed to equip a 'tenant house or a fine residence is to be had there. It is all made from North Carolina woods. .. In all there are twenty concerns. They .work over 1,000 bands .and sell over fl.835'000 worth of goods. The woods used in the manufacture of the furni ture are white and red oak, rop lar, long leaf pine,' dogwood, per Simmon and hickory. They are shipped into High Point from the country around, the coves of the mountains or western rtortn uar- olida and the eastern part of the state." - The Messuge to Garcia . Here is the "Message to Gar cia. . , la all this Cuban business there is one man stands out on the bor on of my memory like Mars at perihelion. When war broke out btnueeu Spain and the United C ' is, it was very necessary to c uiunicata quickly with the rcf t' a insurgents. Garcia v . a ejii'-e Lere in the mouutaio -i -i tf Cuba no one knew where. No mail nor ' telegraph messti''9 could "reach him. The Presideut wubt secure his coop e ration, and quickly, 1 s' What to do! Some oue said to the President, "There's a fellow by the Dame of Rowan will find Garcia for you, if anybody cab." ! Rowan was sent for and given a letter to be delivered to Garcia. How 'the fellow by the name of Rowan." took the letter, sealed it up id an oil skin pouch, strapped it over his heart, io four days landed by night off the coast of Cuba from an open boat, disap peared i n to the Jungle, and 1 n three weeks came out on the other side of the! Isl .nd-. having traversed a hostile country on foot and delivered his letter to Garcia, are things I have no special de sire now tell in detail. . The point I wish to make is this: McKinley gave Rowan a letter to be dolivered to Garcia; took the tetter and did ' not ask, "Where is he at?.' By the Eternal! there is a man whose form should be cast in deathless bronze and statue placed io every college of the land.'- It is not book learning young men need, uor instruction about this aud .that, but a stiffen ing. of the vertebrae which will cause them to be loyal to a trust, to act promptly, concentrate their energies! da the thing "'carry a message to Garcia. " Gen.; Garcia is dead now, but there are other Garcias. - t - . No man who has endeavored to carry -out an enterprise wnere many hacds were needed, but has been well nigh appalled at times by the imbecility of the average man the inability or unwilling ness to concentrate on a thing and do it. Slipshod assistance, foolish inattention, dowdy indiff ereace, and half-hearted . work seem the rule; ana no man sue ceed s, unless by hook or by crook, or threat, ne lorces.or bribes other men to assist him; or may be, God in His goodness performs a miracle.and sends him an Angel of Light for anssistantirYoup4 reader, put this matter to a test: You are sitting now in your office -r-six clerks are within call. Sum mon any one and make this re quest:' "Please look in the en cyclopedia , and make a brief memorandum - for me concerning the life of Correggio." ", Will the clerk quietly say, "Yes. sir.' and. go to the task? On your life he will not. He will look at you out of a .fishy eye, and ask one or mote of the fol lowing questions: ; ;N What was be? ' -Which encyclopedia? Where is the encyclopedia? Was I hired for that? - ; Don't you wean Bismarck? -w, Wbat's the matter with Charlie doingit?'- ' . ' . .t i , i. Is he dead? , , , Is there any hurry?, v ; , ,'bhan't I bring you the book and let you look it up yourself? What do you want to know for? Aqd I will lay you 10 to 1 that after you have answered the questions, aud explained how to find the information, and why you want it, the clerk will go off and get one of the other clerks to help him ' to fiui . Garcia and then coma. bacK ana ten you tnere is no such man. Of course I may lose my bet, but, according to the law of average, I will not V - Now, if you are wise, you will notibother to explain to your assistant" that Corregio is in dexed unden. the C's not in the K'b, but you will smile sweetly and say, never mind, and g6 look it up yourself. i And this- incapacity for Inde pendent action: this moral stupid ity, this infirmity xt the will, this unwillingness to cheerfully catch hold and -lift are. the things that put pure Socialism so far into the future If men will not act'frjr themselvesr wh'it will theydo when the benefit of their effort is for all? A first mate with knotted club seems necesssary; and the dread of getting "the bounce" Saturday night holds many a worker to his place. Advertise for a stenographer, and bine out of ten who apply can neither spell nor punctuate and do not think it necessary to. Can such a one write a letter to Garcia? . "You see that bookkeeper?" said the foreman to me in a large fac tory. "Yes, what a' ut him?" "Well he's a 3ne accountant; but If I'd send him uptown on an errand he wight accomplish the errand allvigut, and, on the other band, mlghtstopatfoursaloous on the way, and when he got to Main street would forget what he bad been sent for '" Can such a man be entrusted to carry a messuge to Garcia? We have recently been bearing much maudlin sympathy express ed for the "down-trodden denl zans of the sweatshop" and the "homeless wanderer searching honest employ meat" and with it all often go man jthard words for the men in power; ' Nothing is said about the em- rjlover who crows old before his i f W - r time in a vain attempt to get frowsy, ne'er-dowalls to do intel ligent, work; and bis lorigj patient striving who -tieip; mat aoes dothing but loaf When his back is turned. : In every store and fac tory there is a coutant weeding- out process goi eg on. : The em ployer is constantly sending way "help" that have shown, their in capacity j,to further the interests of the business, aud others are being taken on. No, matter-how good times are.f.'this sorting continues only if times are hard and work is scarce, the 'sorting is done finer but oWahd forever out. the incompetent' and. unwor thy go. it is the survival of the flttiest Self-interest',-' "prompts every employer to jeepthe best those who can cari-ya message to Garcia. ' ' f. r " I know one man)f Veally brill iant parts who has not-the ability w manage a pusiuuss ui uia owu. and yet who is absolutely worth less to any. one els'?, because he carries with him coastanjly Abu iosaue suspicion t that , his; em ployer is oppressing, or .intoning to oppress him. He can'not feive ordersand- he 'Will not receive them. . Should a message be giv en him to take to Uarcia, his an swer would probably be, "Take it yourself --- rt Tonight this man walks the streets looking for work, the wind whistling through his threadbare coat No one ' who knows him dare employ him, for be is 4 regular firebrand of dis cootont.. Ha is imperviouatorea- uon, and the only thing that can impress him is the toe of a thick sole No 0 boot Of course I know that one so morally deformed is no less to be pitted than a phys ical cripple; but in our pitying let us drop a tear, too, for the men who are striving to carry pu a great enterprise, whose working hours are not limited by the whistle, and whose hair is fast turning white through the Strujr-' g!e to hold in line aowdy indiffer ence, slipshod imbecility, and the heartless ingratitude which but for their enterprise, would be both hungry and homelss. '' Have I put the matter too Strongly? Possibly I have; but when all the world has gone a slumbering I wish to speak a word of sympathy for the man who , succed-the, man ' who, against great odds, has directed the efforts of others, and having succeeded, finds there's nothing in it; nothing but bare board and clothes. I have carried a dinner pail and worked for day's wages, and I Lave also been an employer of ; labor, and I . know there Is something to be said on both sides. There is no excellence, per'ee, In' poverty rags are no recommendation, and all employ era are . not rapacious and high uiinded any more thaor all poor men are virtuous -' ; My ha.rt goes tfut to the man who, does his work when the "boss" is away, as well as when be is at home. And the man who, tsben given a letter for Garcia, auietlv takes the missive without asking any idiotio questions, and with no lurking Intention oi cnucit ing it into the nearest sewer, or of doing aught else but deliver it never gets "laid off." nor has to go on a strike for higher wages. Civilization is one long anxious search for just such individuals. Anything such a man asks shall be granted; bis kind is so rare that no employer can afford to let him go. He is wanted in every city, town and village in every office, shop, store, and factory. The world cries out for such; t.e is needed and needed badly the man who can carry amessre to Garcia.

Jadge Dorsey Battle while hold lug cou rt at Charlotte, made a severe arraignmentof the deadly cigarette whenchargingtbegrand jury. : He is a very amiable judge and not "cranky" as some are He said, as we get trom the Observer: 1 ' "He said that no matter where one travelled these day ha aaw mall boys, tots, smoking these miserable cigarette. "The next generation of our boys,'hedeclar ed, 'wUf be degenerates, merely through this cause. It is the in hallatlon of the tobacco that is hurtful Blowing cigarette smoke through a handkerchief leaves a stain or mark of nicotine on the handkerchief Think of this going through the lungs and affecting the entire system! The cigarette habit "stands' With the morphine habit I know of two young men, aged 17 and 19 years. who-lived in my county and who were "killed by cigarettes. 1 They smoked excessively and their dissolution was speedy." ' ;Wheo recently writting of the cigarette we mentioned the test of the handkerchief given by the Judge, but we knew it for thirty years as to the cigar-and the pipe, and had 'seen it tested, and had recently heard a minister speak of it also, . We had not seen then the above from the Observer. It is needless for medical experts and chemists to aay the cigarette will not kill It does .kilL'and many examples are known. There may be no poisons added, but the nicotine cf the cigarette 16 abundantly able to do the deadly work.. ' v , Since writingtheaboveinglanc ing' over the Charlotte News we iouna a omwcsing special irom Lexington, N, C, giving an ac count of a -young man .named Tom Laydon,- a -telegraphic dp era tor, who crazed by cigarettes had takwn his own life. The dis patch Bays that "he was a great cigarette smoker and ! showed signs of insanity caused by excessixe smoking four years ago. Later he recovered,' and seemed to be fully restored It is said that the cigarette habit again become fixed on him, and again unbalanced his mind.; 1 Two months ago he lost bis position as telegraph operator because bis mind was again af fected.. - He was ' the most inveterate cigarette smoker, never being without one of the 'coffin tacks' in bis month. He often stopped. in the midst of a message to light a fresh cigarette." Remember that the cigarette is deadly whatever the wrapper.' It is poisonous In itself. It kills. It is a marvellous thing in the em pire' It not only kills, but en riches. ' Its manufacture re quires fresh tobacco, and the ci garette 'makes use the old and abandoned in some places.. Dr. David Paulson . writing in "Good Health, " a northern . monthly, says the cigarette Is not without its "charitable" side ' for it furn ishesemploy mentforhundreds of boys in Chicago.: Their work Is to gather up the castaway stubs of cigarettes and cigars. These boys are known as "snipe shoot tors' It is their business to gath er at least three pounds of stubs a day, for which they receive the magnificent ' remuneration of something to eat and a miserable and indecent quarter in which to sleep. It s estimated that there are picked up "daily from the filthy streets of Chicago, by boys working under one man, twelve hundred pounds per acre, and 6 cents per pound Into cigarettea What a lesson in economy! ' This Is alluring truV! It pre sents an inviting pioture to smok ers. Still the cigarette is never baneful, if you will heed the swift defenders, the friends of trusts. Dr. Paulson says that the ciga rette tndulgers "should daily meditate 2 upon it to serve in a certain way a compensation for the baneful physical effects of this terrible babit which they persist in Indulging."

Volumes might be written up on the noble bearing of this hero throughout the whole war, but in our short sketch we m ust come to the real object of this article, begging pardon for reminding our readers of those things with which no true American can af ford to be unacquainted. ! v Should you wonder then thai the whole town of Marfreesboro was in cTblaze of excitement when the, report was spread that the Marquis de Lafayette" was on bis way to this town. , t - Everything was made ready that be vmight have a g"rand re. ception. i The old Indian Queen Tavern was made readjr to re " ceive tthe object of this excite mem wun sucn aemonetrationr as never wad before witnessed in the old revolutionary town. A delegation composed oi Lewis M Cowper, Eley Carter and John Southail.'graadparetvtsaud great grand parents of citizens still liv ing in . Murfreesboro, were ap pointed to meet Lafayette - at Sumertou, in Gates county. . ; Lafayette arrived in the town amid the hurrahs and shouts of thousands of people who bad come to behold for the first time the champion of the cause which to America was so dear.'. When be alighted from the stage coach. people pushed themselves for ward to grasp his hand and bid him welcome. While in Marfreesboro he spent an hour at the home of Lewis M, Cowper, one of the moBt distinguished gentlemen of the,. tow n wblch- place, -is etill to be seen on Main street "to this day. , " - A ball was given at the tavern All the belles and beauties oi Hertford, Northampton, Bertie and surrounding counties wert present in pompt aud splendor While the ball was in progress the whole town was lighted up with burning barrels and every species of display conceivable. and above the dim and the roar could' be heard those shouting. "Long live Lafayette " Aftei the ball he repaired to the dwell ing house, the one wi.icb is now owned by Mr. Watson.a very pro gressive citizen of Murfreesborc and spent the night (This houst; has been removed and remodeled and still used as a dwelling house), ' At ten o'clock next morning he was met by a delegation from Jackson, Northampton - county. The people of Murf reesboro, and those who had come there for the purpose of seeing Lafayette, ao companied the procession, three miles from the town, and then bade him farewell forever. It is said to have been a touching scene as the old people laid hands on him and blessed him and the youths of the procession shouted his name aloud in joyful praise j Among the distinguished men who have taken an active part in the events of the Revolutionary period, no man.' save only Wash ington, has left a reputation and a name so dear to the friends of freedom as Lafayette, and in one respect his character has no equal, nor yet an example upon the pages of history,' for he alone during the revolutionary period exerted a cantrollingiufluence in two ' mighty revolutions in France'. and America--which from a oiaral and political stand point are the most important events of the world's history. , , If you have catarrh, rheumatism, or dyspepsia, take Hood's Sarsapa- rilla and be cured as thousands of others have been.
