The Eeidsville Review is enter prising. It devoted a supplement last week to a write-up of the neigh boring town of Leaksville. President Harrison is a success in fooling hia subjects. He examines into an applicant's qualifications and then appoints another fellow. Of the $9,690,000 worth of church property in Chicago, $5,000,000 be long to the Catholics. This shows their great strength in the North west. Cotton is a wonderful plant Not only will they cover the cotton crop with it, but also the wheat crop Flour barrels are now being made of cotton cloth. The New York World building will be three hundred and fifty feet high (fourteen stories) and will cost $2,000,000. Some papers are build ing heavenward. Some papers "sling" at Governor Fowlt for running about so much. The Governor wants to meet the people, and he i3 right so long as he discharges the duties of his office He does. Dr. Talmage, whose tabernacle , Talmage, whose burnt down last week, has made a public call for $100,000. He hopes to get this, and with the $128,000 insurance Quite a buildine can be constructed. Dr. Sion 11. liogers has "gone on" to Texas, but he didn't "get the coon " he wanted Dr. Grissom's place at the Asvlum. No one State is large enough to hold him and Dr Grissom too. Every one has his troubles ; the low, the high, the poor, the rich, the Binner, the Christian everybody Vanderbilt'a $10,000 cook has left him, and in his sore trouble he has the sympathy of thousands. One hundred and five thousand dollars for one horse! How many could you buy at those figures ? That "was the price paid recently for Ax tell, a three-year-old that made a mile in 2:12 at Terre Haute, Ind. A man, signing himself J. Spence, writes from Lexington, N. C, to the New York World about the lynching of Berrier. He says " such a thing could not have occurred in the North." Spence is a Northern man Col. L. L. Polk was invited to de liver an address at the Atlanta Eu position on the 24th (yesterday.) He accepted, and trvoll to Atlanta m a special coach which was sent for him and any friends whom he wished to take with him. Solicitor B. F. Long has recently gotton out and distributed to magis trates and court officers a pamphlet Betting forth the duties and juris diction of officers in preparing cases for court It would be a great aid to justices of the peace.

The Georgia Legislature was in session over four months. The " Empire State of the South " might learn a useful lesson from the Old North State, whose legislators are only paid for sixty days' work. takes much less discission and fewer laws to do us now. Wednesday was the day appointed by the Adventists of the country for the coming of Christ Great meet ings have been in progress at the town of Screamersville, Va., for Bome time. Much excitement prevails, and no doubt they would be much surprised if their predictions proved true. The completion of the Georgia, Carolina and Northern railroad to Monroe, which is now being rapidly pushed toward, will make things lively for the Richmond and Dan Tille. It will be parallel, and will extend from Portsmouth and Nor , folk, in Virginia, through lialeigh to Atlanta, Ga. Steamboat connec tions with Baltimore and other cities Will make it a strong competing line. THE CROPS. There is a strong tendency towards reporting the bright side of the con dition and size of crops. That many have been deceived as to the cotton i i i 0 mi crop is an undisputed iacc. J.ne outlook now is one that cannot be fully understood. "With the early and heavy frosts the leaves and much of the stock are killed, causing the fields to present no flattering ap pearance. Be the crop as it may, it is a fact that the receipts are much behind those of other years, not only in this market but in all those where we have the opportunity of seeing reports. The crop may be held back with a view of getting better prices. At any rate there is far less cotton being sold than is usual for the month of October. THEY TAKE THEIR OWN ADVICE. The senior class of Harvard Uni versity have recently been presented with an issue, and the manner in which it was settled seems to be a surprise to every one, and must have been a surprise to the class itself. On the occasion of the election of class orator a few days ago it was hotlv contested bv a neero and a white man. In spite of race preju dice, which in reality exists in the North as well as in the South, the negro carried off the honor in a class of 250. The negro is one of tin doubted ability, and, so far as intel lect and oratorical talent is con ccrned, the choice is admitted to be an excellent one, and if the senior class and the authorities of Harvard can stand it surely every one else ought We must confess that this act of the Harvard class, from one point of view, reflects credit upon the North For the last twenty-five years they have been standing off at long range and, with all their might and main, preaching social equality to the peo ple of the South : but whenever an opportunity was presented for their people to take the dose of their own medicine, too they would balk every time. Negroes have hitherto had no more ready access to white barber shops, churches and hotels of the North than to those of the South ; and when Cleveland had the backbone to appoint Fred. Douglass, a negro, over the people of Washing ton, the howl that went up from that social-equality-preaching people was bitter and prolonged. This is the first occasion of any prominence when by deliberate choice a negro has been preferred over a white man We glory in their "spunk," and commend them heartily for practis ing what they preach. jnow, do not understand ns as commending this action to the South em people as worthy of imitation by them. The Southern blood would boil in our veins at the idea of such a thing. While it may be com. mended in the people of the North, on the ground ot consistency, it cannot be charged against us of the South that we are inconsistent in not acting out the same policy, because we have never accepted that policy as the true one, and, as we sincerely hope and believe, never will. The Charlotte Chronicle suggests that the effect will be beneficial to the South, in that it will have a ten uency to mate our young men patronize our own colleges, that in reality compare favorably with simi lar institutions at the North. If this be the effect, it is a natural and eminently proper one. The Northern colleges have in a measure made a deliberate choice ; they virtually say that they prefer the negro to the white boys of the South. They surely ought to be able and willing to abide the consequences. We are. LATE 5EWN. Idaho wants to become a State. Snow fell in Virginia and Mary land Wednesday. Mr. Archie Johnson, of Dunn, N. C, was killed Wednesday, being caught in the shafting of a saw mill Alliance day at Atlanta yesterday was attractive. There were two couples married, all the parties being arrayed in cotton baeginsr. A sham fight was also arranged between In dians in jute bagging and cow boys in cotton bagging. Col. Polk ad dressed the crowd. A TerrlM Joke. In the province of Kiangsu, near Temple, is a boy's school, while the teacher was called away one day, all the boys except one, with the inten tion of playing a joke on the teacher, hid in empty coffins that were in the temple. The boy who was to act as fientinel, had hardly closed down the lids over 5 boys when the school master appeared. Answering the teachers question, the sentinel said his comrades had gone to heaven, their bodies now being in coffins. The teacher fearing the joke might have been carried too far, raised the lids of the coffins and found in reality all five boys had died from suffocation. Sixth boy being now thoroughly scared, started to run, when the tdfaher overtook tuin and whipped hinkt death. Fnnd In Our Exchanges. A JUG of whiskey was shipped from here the other day, marked 'Hell & Co., Chester, S. C." It was very properly labeled Dallas Eagle. Sixty thousand boys are said to be tramping through the North and West That i3 a sad com men t iry on the love of home for which Ameai cans are noted News and Observer. One of the colored women (an ex- oduster) was heard to remark : " ve is de 'Gyptians and de white folks we is leavin' behin' is de Isrilites." She evidently got the "cart before the horse" in her application from the Bible. Kinston Free Press. There is no educational interest of more importance than that of the swamp lands of North Carolina, iind if properly disposed of, the funds derived from them will go a great way towards relieving the taxpayers of the State. Raleigh Evening Vis itor. Judge Connor says people must get the idea out of their heads that they can act as they please on the public road. They may pass along the road when they please, but must not behave near a house in such way as to annoy the occupants. Gastonia Gazette. Why shall the South be always shipping its precious woods to the North to be returned in furniture to cost twenty or fifty times what the raw material fetched? Why not work up our own walnut pine and maple and hickory and chesnut and so on ? Think of it, young men of capital. Wilmington Messenger, Mrs. Richardson, an old lady from Randolph county, who went to Indiana twenty-one years ago, got off the train here last Wedoesdav morning on her way to Randolph where she will Bpend the rest of her days. She is eighty-one years old and walks on a wooden leg which she made herself. High Point En terprise. The recent official return on the condition of the London cemeteries is unsavory reading enough. In Brompton Cemetery, with an area of 28 acres, there have been buried witnin less than titty years 155,064 bodies, while in Tower Hamlets Cemetery, 12 acres less, in about the same time the number i3 247,000. News and Courier. Congressman Ewart, Republi can, from the ninth district is a law yer, but tells the Hendersonville Times that he expects to become a member of the Farmers' Alliance shortly. He gives a facetious reason "Last year I raised Tom Johnston the Democratic party, and 200 bush els of corn !" He asks, "That ought to entitle ma to admission into the order, oughtn't it ?" State Chroni cle. It is a rather singular fact that the gentlemen appointed by Presi dent Harrison as United States dis trict attorneys for North Carolina both went over to the Republican party with the Liberal movement of 1882, having thitherto been Demo crats in good and regular standing and that, excepting Dr. Yorke, they are the only persons of prominence who went over at that time who have stayed. Statesville Landmark, A 1 M careful nousewite recom mends the following arithmetic les son to the attention of drinking working men: "Two drinks of whiskey means a pound and a half of beef steak; two beers, a dinner of mutton chops; a cocktail, an egg plant or a head of cauliflower. What'll you take, Charley ?' Btands for a nice oyster stew for the whole family Sunday morning. 'Sete'm up again,' means sugar in the house for a month." Raleigh Christian Advocate. Gsn. Sherman was always hila rious when he was making some body suffer. When he tried to flank Johnson at Kennesaw he ordered Gen. Cox to make a detour and threaten the enemy's left In giv ing his final instructions he said : "See here, Cox, burn a few houses occasionally as you go along. I can't understand these signal flags, but I know what a smoke means." The old soldier still laughs over the incidents of the march through Georgia, and 6ays that the whole business tickles his sense of humor. Richmond State. A good one is told on a certain Richmond roadster, as fine a sales man as ever strapped a sample case, married and a little past the middle age. He went home one night in summer a little too full and just mel low enough to try and shade it from his wife. She was in bed as he stumbled in at a pretty late hour. It was his custom to sleep in a long night shirt and he took it as he thought from the wardrobe and put it on. He was not long in bed be fore he exclaimed in startling tones that it wasthe hottest night he ever felt in all his life. His wife was fairly shaking the bed with laughter as she replied, "My darling, ' youv'e got on your overcoat." He dis carded night shirts after that, and is not so intense on a "night cap."

Mr. E. is hard to beat at that trade. The birds will suffer from now on. Some one shot into a drove of Mr. William Honeycutt's turkeys, killing one and wounding another. We don't think that was doing very well. And now the succulent saccharine sorghum is being simmered into syrup by scientific syrupers, with meritorious mills and excellently equipped evaporators energetically exploited.

Puryear and Bingham, of Concord, are at Bilesville this week, and they, with several of our citi zens, have been rousting the foxes and birds. Some people seem to think a flower bed that cost a great deal of labor a desirable spot to pasture a cow. The grass was left upon the beds to pro tect the turf from the cold of winter, but where now ? Some people do not take newspa pers, but if you say something that pinches a little they are sure to get hold of it by some means. Some are too poor to take even one paper, but they can find money enough to pay the way of a whole family into a show. Dr. R. W. Ivy and brother, H. C. Ivy, have been performing gymnas tics by turning summersaults back wards from a dog cart The heels of the horse were the motive power. Mr. W. M. Ivy and his horse allowed the ground to fly up and strike them a day or two ago. DIED, In Vermillion Parish, La., October 11th, 1889, Mr. William JT. Akea, aged seventy-three years.

Wm- Pboi-st, oc i rfheriff Cabarrus Count v. Look Out for the fanf! Tradition tells us that once upon a time a cow jumped over the moon. When she did it, where she did, why she did it, we are not informed. Only the bare and undisputed fact of her having accomplished this wonderful acrobatic feat has been preserved to us from the all-devouring waves of obliv ion that ceaselessly pulsate upon the shores of Time. Of one thing we may rest assured, however, that it was only by repeated trials that this myth ical cow succeeded in her un dertaking. Practice only can make perfect. For the past twenty-four years I have been trying to please the public as a dealer in Fancy Goods, Toys, Musical Instruments, etc. To say that I have been models ately successful would not, I hope, be construed as a piece of vanity on my part, but at the close of each season I have felt that my level best had not yet been attained. This year, however, the goal of my ambi tion has been reached, and at Gibson's Drug Store is now to be found an unri valled selection and complete assortment of Fancy Goods, Knick-Knacks and Novelties, for the inspection of which the public is hereby cordially invited. I have in stock today $1,000 worth, of China and Glassware tea sets, 50 pieces, tea sets, 3 pieces, salad and berry bowls, cabarets, com forts, epergnes, ice cream sets, oyster sets ; plates from c. to 75c. apiece ; fruit saucers, pitchers from 10c. to $2 each ; vases in endless variety, from 5c. to $3 apiece, etc., etc. Cut and engraved glassware, plash brush and comb cases from $1.25 to $12 apiece; plush work boxes from 50c. to G each ; plush albums from Hoc. to $10; plush and leather mu sic rolls and folios, writing desks from $1 to 0 apiece, and scores of articles suitable for wedding and holiday pre sents from 50c. to $12 apiece.
