If, on the map of the world three is one dead town : a town where blight and dry rot has entered and eaten : a town tilled with neiiurers and law breakers: a town ueonled with liars and ecalawaas cenerallv that place is Topeka, the capital of iioutn stricken and ruacrue haunted Kansas And while the toughs and law-breakers, men who run holes in the wall aud conduct boot leg sa loons.are notoriously free from what honest men call the truth, they speak it and net it aud live it when compared to the miserable, lying beetle browed bmt who presides over the destinies of the battered wreck known as the Topeka Capital. This bit of impertinence and mendacity has recently taken occasion to spew some of his falsehood over the state of North Carolina- Were it not for the fact that the miserable editor of that wretched sheet had sent some of his priutod lies into this state, papers claiming any connection with or respect lor decency wouiu not dignify the scoundrel who slanders the greatest state m the Union North Carolina by noticing his will ful prevarications. But the whelp stiii..s together such palpable false hoods, and then tries to magnify them into truth by saying that at one time he rode through this state, and saw tumbled down villages, deserted school houses aud tarscoat ed farmers who could not read. The nasty brat lies in his teeth, lies ii. his throat and lies in the rotton depths of his putrid heart. He knows, as every sensible man knows. and as every honest man must ad mit, that a corner Jot in any rorth Carolina town is worth more than a section of land in drouth-burned Kansas, where redmoutbed famine is staring in the faces of the sturdy pioneers who were enticed to locate there and who were robbed by the land agents and money sharks before they had their goods unpacked, and who today cannot cet together money enough to leave the accursed state. 15 ut this is not all. This detestable sneak attempts to make a comparison of KanSHS prod ucts with those of Jsorth l arolinn. He says that Kansas raises more corn t the acre than this 6tate. What of it ? The Kansas farmer last year raised core aud could not sell it. He burned it in his stove to warm his hovel and by the light it mttde icad anew the notes and mort gages, the interest on wnicu was sapping the very life-blood out of his veins- lie had corn one year but this year he has none. And when the corn is gone, wh t el-e is left the Kansas farmer ? Nothins but his mortgage on which interest is accumulating. The hog cholera sweeps over those prai ries and cleans the pens. The far mer is hungry and his wife and chil- dien are illy clad ; they do not enjoy life and know none of its comforts. In the very city of Topeka. where the lying editor makes his home.one firm is this fall foreclosing on eigh- en bundred farms- These heart less and greedy money sharks are selling the homes of men who have labored for years to keep the wolf from the door: battled with poverty; worn rags and went hungry to bed the while shouting for the grand old party and the spoilsmen who were robbing them- Go to Kansas today, and outside of the dry land harks, the free-booters and pirates " ho extort money from the unspect vj and secure themselves with r-clad and fire-proo:' mortgages, :id there is no money; there is no I'matc: there is nothing but a ,vi-te of desolation and an occa -i onal drove of asses such as edit the Toneka Capital. Kansas never furnished a foot of timber to be used in manufacturing nui noses. Outside of a few river counties she never produced a ton of coal ; never a pound of ore of any kind was dug from her bosom, one never saw an ounce of cotton or tobacco unless it was shipped there, aud Durham today has more wheels in motion in the wav of manufactu riner entemrises than can be found in the entire state where Johs Brown originated and where the border ruffians still hold undisputed avrav. And what of Nor'h Carolina? There is not a product of which the census report takes cognizance but what can be found and it is found either on toD or under our soil- Hogs aud corn and Senator In galls constitute the products of Kansas when the weather is right, but this year everything perished excent the senator, and he will be laid on the shelf this winter. If the Topeka editor ever comes this way again, he will once more have a ride through the state but it will be on a sharp edged rail, and the tar of which he sneeringly neaks will be utilized, with some feathers thrown in. Tne snectacle of a Kansas man abusinz a state as rich as North Carolina in nature's bounty is more sublime than a prostitute prating of hf,r virtue. Durham UlObe. Col. Fairbrother lived near vile Topeka Capital and ought to know the conditions. Hence we say amfv to all. except riding the cuss nn n. rail. He mav come here unmo lasted, and he may live here if he behaves himself. North Carolina Nynod. liev. T. II. Strohecker, under date of October 8th. 1890, writes: "A leiucst (has been sent) to the Presi dent of the North Carolina Synod signed by liev. Wright G. Campbell T. II. Strohecker, Kev. Hedrick and others, for an extra special session of Bynod to consider a proposition to withdraw from the United Synod of the South, on account of its extreme position in regard to the four points. and for refusing to call any minister or employ any missionary, or elect any professor, or help any mission except four-pointers. "The people are awake, and with hold their money from church en terprises, and many prefer the un altered Augsburg Confession, plain and unadulterated, without human additions, and prefer to preserve the old North Carolina Synod intact in general church work, without obli gations to four points being requir ed."

The "Reuben Rink" Painting and Iecoratinsc Company North Caro lina Talent lloes Handsome Work on North Carolina WoodThe Company Se lected Palnta, Paper, ChOHe Ienig-n and Neleeted Furni ture. The W. It. Odell house is now oc cupied. Wednesday night was the first. The whole family rested well, and Mr. Odell declares that the roof is a good one. The Standard has no object in writing about this hand some and magniGcent house other than to show what North Carolina wood will do, what North Carolina house builders can do, and what North Carolina young men can do n painting and decorating. To see the building, and especially its inte- lor one, not even a cranky kickei, cannot keep back the throhs of pride in his state, ins otate s timber and his State's fellow men. We hope Mr. Odell will pardon us for a short description of this his earthly home. The wood work was done under the hawk-eye of that master work man and contractor, A. II. Propst. This, so far as Cabarrus people are concerned, is sufficient guarantee for the perfect ioints, true timbers and substantial work. Every stick of wood, and every plank grew in Cabarrus county, and was prepared for use by the Concord V ood and Iron Works. Such wood as our ash, sycamore, white oak, sweet gum, red birch and pine, is used, and m their natural color. eeverai .normern gentlemen were amazed to know that tuch woods grew in North Carolina and in Ca barrus county. Home is what we make it. There could be much happier homes in ome house lota, if the money expend ed was manipulated by some one well up in arrangements and had good taste for such. Tn'ere is lots of money virtually wasted in the fit ting up and finishing of the mteri ors of many homes for the lack of genuiae taste and experience. rossiuiy no house in tne btate is more attractive or harmoniously decorated in its interior than this one. "Blues" couldn't survive there more than 24 hours. Everv room is papered in different figures, painted in different designs and finished in different woods. In going from one room the observer is introduced to decided changes in design, the changes as radical as go ng from one house to another, not in character, however, but in a sense of variety. The hall of the first lloor is capa cious. 1 he walls aae covered with brocade paper, painted in figures in a peacock bl ue color : overhead the contrast is tastefully made in the prominent use of a rich cream color ed paper. The happy contrast is still further sustained in the selec tion of a carpet, of a terra cotta color and ?n pattern of small rosettes. The upper hall is carpetted as this, but the walls are papered in drab and copper colors ; the wood exposed is of a red birch variety. The parlor shows the might of the decorator's taste. Illuminated paper is used, with the leading colors in ivory and gold, and that on the ceiling is of a floral design. Add to this the finest of sycamore wood finishings and the harmony in the color of the Wilton carpet, you have the picture of a splendid taste. The sitting room is finished in Rennaisance paper of a terra cotta and blue colors. The bed-room is decorat?d in felt paper with pink as a prominent color, with a selection of a carpet to correspond. Just be hind this room is the nursery. It is plastered and decorated in oil col ors. The dining room is famished and decorated in designs that make one hungry and at the same time feel in a good humor. The Bror cade paper on side walls is painted in lemon color, and the overhead pa per in a rich cream color with floral and fruit designs. The guest room, on second floor, is very haudsome. It is the very es sence of cheerfulness. The decora tion is in bright blue with figures of marsh-melon. The carpet is of the same color. The other rooms, in their furnishing, show equally as much skill and taste. The cornices in the various parts of the building are frescoed and finished in water color. This work was all done by North Carolina stock. It was done by contract with the "Reuben Rink Painting and Decorative Company, of Kernersville i nd Durham, N. C, The work was done under the man agement of Mr. H. C. Kerner, the junior member of the company, and who is only 25 years of age. This company has made for itself National reputation, and is known as "Reuben Rink" all over the coun try. All the fine wgus painted for Blackwell s Tobacco Manufacturing Comnanv over the Southern States is the work of this company. Mr, Kerner will have no trouble to ad vertiae his work it does it for itself. The Standard wishes Mr. and Mrs. Odell and their interesting little family many years in their new and elegant home. Tha Augusta Chronicle comments on the fact that becretary rroctor, who declined to lower the flag on the War Department when Jefferson Davis died, did so on the death of Gen. Belknap, who was a convicted bribe-taker. Being a convicted bribe taker did not lower a man's standing much in the estimation of the men who run the Republican party. Wilmington fctar. .

MOLINO DBL CARCAEANA, 1 Province de Santa Fe, Argentine Republic, S. A., Sept 8, 1890. I Editor Standard : I gave you an acconnt of our trip from Concord to Rio Janeiro. I now give you the remainder of the trip to Uarcarana. We arrived at Rio on the 25th of August, just one day too late to catch the boat for Buenos Ayres ; so we had to stop hve days there wait ing for the next steamer. On the the 30th we took the steamer Patosa of the Pacific Steam Navigation Company, for Buenos Avrea, and landed at the latter place on the 5th of September, being on the road from New York 38 days (quite a a long trip for a honeymoon). We had quite rough weather from Rio to Monte Viclar, just enough to make all hands seasick again. W e stopped at the Monte V ichir one day, visited the city, the capital of the Republic or Uruguay. This is quite a nice city of about 12,000 population. At 8 o clock that night we steam ed out of the harbor and up the beautiful Rio de la Platta. In Eng lish it means the Rivei of Silver. We ran into a sand bar during the night, and was aground for three hours, bnt finally got off and steam ed into Buenos Ayres at 9 o'clock the next day, or at least as close to the city as we could, and that was aoout lb miles, we then took a steam tender and went ashore, and after monkeying some three hours in the custom house we were at lib erty to go on our way rejoicing. As vou all know by this time that Buenos Ayres had a revolution about six weeks ago, which only lasted a few days, but there were lots of lives lost and property destroyed. We saw thousands of holes where bul lets and shells had gone through buildings and trees. The gunboats which were lying in the river were ordered to shell the city, and of course they obeyed orders. They sent shelld promiscuously over the city, killing many innocent people, drop ping into private dwellings and ho tels. One shell fell into a hotel and rolled under the table, where two strangers were eating, and exploded, wing to atoms seven rooms and killing seven persons. The two at the table were torn into such smal bits that they have never been recog nized. The revolutionists were suc cessful, and put out the President, Dr. Coleman, and many of the old governors of the provinces. At this time peace reigns supreme and things look as they did before ; but business is at a standstill all over the Republic, and will remain so un til the business men see that the government is on a solid footing once more. From Buenos Ayres we proceeded oa our journey by rail to Carcarana, a distance of 230 miles, and arrived here on the Cth of September, I must say that we were glad to get here after our long journey. We found the weather still cold, much too cold for us after having so long a summer, inis has been one oi the coldest winters for many years. It has not rained to soak the ground for five months. Will write again soon. Yours most truly. G. T. Ckowell. REV. R. I.. ARERXATHY Writes about Ram Jones A Power In Human Form Running- a Bail Saw and Peeling Off Hides. The Standard has given Dr.Pritch- ard's criticism of Rev. Jones, now here is what Dr. Abernathy has to say in favor of Jones : "A man of these times, who can call together eight or ten thousand people from three or four hundred miles aro and, and hold them together under the most scorching, sarcastic language against all manner of sins committed by men and women, for ten days in succession, is a power in human form, not seen on this globe since the days of Jesus Christ "During his labors in Wilmington, Sam Jones shook the city like an earthquake from centre to circum ference. He ran a buzz saw through the centre of the Cape Fear Club; he scorched and burned the ninety saloons in the city till the mayor did not have a case of violation of the laws to adiust He attacked the dens of infamy in the place till their inmates poured into the meeting, weeping and crying for mercy like chastised children. "He peeled all the hide from infi- delic dudes and dudines till their flesh was as nude as a pealed orange; and he blowed up atheism with the dynamite of gospel truth and logic, the fragmentary particles filled the air thick as thistle downs upon summer evening's breeze." She Got Even With Him One who lives near the railroad is sure to be visited by tramps. The editor's wife is charitable, but she has an eye on business. A tramp trot off a freight train one day last week and begged for food. He had eaten nothing for more than a day and had been hard worked holding to his hiding place under the car. The good woman saw a chance to do the creature a double kindness and not lose money. She gave him water, soap and a towel. The rich dirt he left on the lot paid for his meal. Hickory Press. That is on tie principle of "cur rviner a horse is half of the feed.' That tramp must have been an idiot the idea of going to an editor's house for food. TANDARD. DR. PRITCHARD On Rev. Sam Jones His Criticisms, Etc., Etc. Below we give some clippings from Dr. Pritchard's criticism on Sam Jones, as published in Charity and Children. Dr. Pritchard is pretty severe in his criticisms, but he seems to be sincere. He speaks highly of the work Mr. Pearson did in Wilmington. Of course, while this is Dr. Pritchard's opinion, there are thousands who are 6trong believ ers in Sam Jones. After a few preparatory remarks and an admission of Jones' natural ability. Dr. Pritchard remarks : To call him a great man would be to revolutionize my conception of human greatness. There may have been great men with an egotism as stupendous as his, but there never was one iu which this quality was transparent Certainly, in all the calender of saints history shows not one whose self-appreciation was so colossal. The truth is, th man is badly spoiled; his great success and the unstinted adulation he has received have turned his head. He assumes the role of dictator at times; on one occassion, turning to the preachers he said: "You fat, lazy rascals! why were you not here at the early prayer meeting, trying to save souls, instead of taking your morning nap?" On another occassion he said : "I expect to be at the judgment and to hear the excuses of some of the pas tors of this city for not helping in this meeting." The intimation seemed to be that he not only ex pected to be at the general judgment, but to be a sort of associate justice with the Almighty in pronouncing sentence and would enjoy the con demnation of those of us who did not see fit to join in his meeting. Such arrogance would be unbecom ing in the Apostle Paul, much more in Sam Jones. I was soundly abused and vilified :n same papers and by private cor respondence for styling Sam Jones a vulgarian and a blackguard. Even the distinguished son of North Caro lina, Dr. John E. Edwards, shot an arrow at me from away over in Vir ginia. After a fuller acquaintance with him, I am sorry to say I cannot withdraw those charges; on the con trary, I must add to them one still more serious, that of profanity, acd if the utterances I submit below do not make good each of t hose char ges, l am ready to Ijc i - anued a slanderer of my brethren. "If you jump on vour i : se Jones you have got a government ob on hand." "I love to see a man that stands independent of rules, etynioh ogv, seed ticks, and 'possums skins.' "Get up on your hind feet." "Shoot off your little mouth", "you old fool," 'you old liar, "yon old hop-eared hound," "vou contemptible puppies," "You lousy crdves " "whining pigs;" "I heard it was likelv I would be arrested for slandering that danina ble club." Damnable seemed to be quite a favorite with him, as he used it often. "It you get between me and the club I will knock the tilling out of you." "Get up and tell God you did not approve of Sam Jones you little blear-eyed tool. un, shucks, 1 have got the dead wood on these things," meaning by things, the doctrines of grace. "The pastor that allows his members to sell wins key is not worthy to be the pastor of a litter of puppies. lie called some of the most respectable gentle men of Wilmington "Pusillanimous pole cats of hell." "Pole cats of bell, a brand new style or swearing. he used certainly as many as three times, and of some of our cm zens he said that if a buzzard Bhould get scent of them he would fly straight up half a mile to get away from the smell. These are sampbs of the elegant utterances of bam Jones in the pul pit, and they are by no means the worst things he said. The Messen ger, one of our city papers, promised the public full stenographic reports of all Sam Jones sermons. On two occasions I asked the ed itor why he had left out some of his utterances once when he preached to men only, and once when he had 300 ladies before him. His reply was as follows: "Doctor, I just couldn't do it My paper goes into families where there are women and children. Another lady told me she was reading aloud one of Sam Jones sermons, when next day 6he heard a little boy use one of the ugly expres sions, and when tne child was re proved, he replied "I thought I could say what the preacher said. An ungodly man said to me a few days since: "We wicked men can learn plenty of cuss words from the Devil without going to the pulpit to be taught new oaths." Another man who sometimes swears said to me yesterday "If I wanted to curse a man blue. 1 wouldn't want any stronger words than Sam Jones uses." "Pu sillanimous pole cats of hell is good, We have certainly fallen in evil times when our children aud wicked men learn new profanity from the pulpit, God never made two laws oi pro fanity one for Sam Jones, and one ror other people, THE RESULTS OF THE MEETIXG. I have no data that will enable me to speak with certainty on this point I do not suppose so many people ever attended a meeting in North Carolina before. Fifteen hundred persons give him the hand which simply meant that they would 1890. try to do better. Probably 300, pos- lbly 400 professed conversion, many of whom were from the country. Tne indications now are that while three times as many people attended tms meeting as tnat oi Mr. rearson, not more than one third as many joined the churches. Public opinion is greatly divided here as to bam Jones. Many good people would not hear him at all hundreds went once and got enough and never went again. Many de nounce him and his methods, while others denounce those who would not work. They are getting warm on both sides, and the prospect now is that the whole town will be set by the ears over Sam Jones. That such a state of strife should exist in a community immediatelv after a great religious meeting has closed argues that there has been wrong, Berious wrong, somewhere, and this wrong I lay upon the pul pit manners of Sam Jones that is the only issue I make with him and his friends. It i3 not a matter of taste it iuvolves issues far graver than that it is'a question of morals. Sam Jones said we had no issues in Wilmington that stagnation was the next station to damnation with him. Well, we haye an issue now one distinctly joined as to the right and wrong in pulpit manners and the probabilities of a very considera ble stir in this community. That this article will not tend to allay the excitement I do not doubt, but shall not deplore if, after the storm, the skies are clearer and the water purer. 1 was requested by one of the city editors to give my opinion of the man in his journal, but I preferred to wait till the meeting had closed, and to express my opinions in the columns of the journal for which I write regularly. The boldness with which bam Jones denounces sin is greatly ex tolled ; but I venture to say that it takes as much courage to write this article as he exhibits in rebuking wickedness. He comes to a place, deals out wholesale abuse for a few days and is gone. I remain here and must meet the consequences of my utterances, and I know what it will cost me. Already some of his ad mirers who have been my friends are cool in their manner towards me. I shall be sorry to lose their esteem, but if delivering my conscience on this subject causes me to forfeit their regards, so be it. God has put me ere for the defence of his truth and I must do my duty, no matter what it costs. Fiat iustitia, mat coelum. I believe that the sentiment of the best Christian people of the State will sustain me Nay more I be- eve that it won't be long before these verv men who now are angry with me will see that I have been hting the cause of truth and righteousness. I believe that many Methodists agree with me, and I know that one of the most distin guished of the younger preachers of that church, lately a popular pastor in Wilmington, j. u., proposes at m early day to publish strictures in the Christian Advocate on the pul pit manners of Sam Jones. Dr. Paul lutehead, whom 1 know per" sonallv to be one of the ablest and most honored of Methodist minis ters of Virginia, said of Sam Jones' reflections on him : "I would rather he would love the Lord Jesus Christ enough not to wound him in the house of his friends by such impru dent and uncharitable remarks about ministers. Raleigh Booming. According to that model and vig orous daily the State Chronicle edited by hustling Joe Daniels, whom the Durham Globe dubbed "farmer," the City of Oaks is getting there. The Chronicle, in telling how some Raleigh horses and bulls cov ered themselves with glory, says af ter this head line, "Score Another for Raleigh :" At the recent fair lialeigh bred horses won all the races for three year olds and under, and these were the only lialeigh horses in the races and were from the Fairview stock farm. Now Raleigh scores another vic tory. In the spring of 1889, Prof. Chamberlain, of the Agricultural and Mechanical College, selected and purchased a tne young Jersey bull calf from Mr. W. G. Upchnrch's herd of Jerseys. The young animal was shipped to Bath, New York. Last week the bull was exhibited at the largest and best county fair in the State, and won the first prize as the finest animal on exhibition. And so Raleigh bred horses, and cattle as well, win prizes and premi urns everywhere. And still, now and then some empty-pated, parrot- headed scum of tar-heeldom may be heard trying to belittle his capital city. m Tt - Strong at Eighty. Mr. Van R. Easterling, of Lenoir county, was in town a few days ago visiting his daughter, Mrs. O. P. Humber. He is about 81 years old and is a remarkable man for his age.

Salisbury Watchman : The Pied mont Alliance and Industrial Union Fair has been postponed until the 18th, 19th and 20th of November. This postponement was found neces sary owing to the managers not be ing able to get everything m read iness for the 21st of this mouth. Durham Sun: Faithful old Wade Hampton, the dog that belonged to the children of W. E. Foster, was laid to rest yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock ia a plain but neat coffin. 4.bout twenty-two of his little friends in the neighborhood attended the burial and placed flowers in his comn and upon his grave. Monroe Cor. Charlotte Chronicle : Today while Jack Houston, colored, was driving a wagon load oi cotton across the C. C. road at the depot an engine ran against it, Knocking tne hind wheels to pieces and throwing the bale of cotton some distance. Fortunately the driver and team were unhurt, but it is a warning to people who crosa when a train is coming. Newton Enterprise : Catawba peo ple came out well at the State Fair. Capt. Reinhardt received about all the premiums on short horn cattle and a gold medal for the fattest cow on the grounds. Mr. A. C. Shuford carried off the first premiums on Jerseys, aud there were many com petitors in the line. Mr. Robert Shuford got premiums on his Jack and other stock. Doubtless other premiums came to Catawba but these are all we have heard of. Wilmington Messenger : Capt W. P. Oldham received on yesterday the finest car-load of apples ever shipped to this market from the Piedmont River section of Haywood county, North Carolina. They came through in bulk by way of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley railway, and strange to say, they came through in such excellent condition that there was less than a barrel of rotten ap ples in the entire carload. A large proportion of these apples are of the "ben Davis" variety, an exceedingly fine flavored fruit Many of them weigh over a pound each. Wilkesboro Chronicle : There was another case of spider bile in Red dies River township last week. It seems to be an unlucky township in this regard. There ha3 been not less than fifteen or twenty cases of spider bite there within the last few months. We see in the Index an ac count of the killing of Hosea Warren by Bob Elliott with a knife, near Brady's cross roads, Iredell county. They were drinking and fell out about some money. They had been out west and had iust returned a short time since. Elliott is in States ville jail. "Original Par it ages." Columbus, Ohio, Oct 21. The House this morning adopted a reso lution as the sense of that body that no slight or insult was intended on the part of the House in the refusal of the Speaker to accept the Govern or's message yesterday evening, and appointing a committee to call upon the Governor and request that the message again be sent to the House. Governor Campbell complied with the request. The message is as follows : " To the General Assembly : "You were summoned here to perform a plain and imperative duty, After a special session of several days, having been unable to agree upon a form of relief for the city of Cincinnati, some further suggestions are in order. It is recommended that in lieu of the present board of public improvements a non partisan board be created, to be appointed by the Mayor, who, as the executive head of the city government, ought to be responsible for its boards, and having himself been elected by the people of that city such appoint ment would be in conformity to the doctrine of home rule.' " Since you assembled, it has been plainly demonstrated th&t although no pains or expense have been spared to send a lobby here to mislead and intimidate you, nobody in the city of Cincinnati could be found for that purpose other than those having di rect personal interest in the board, This sufficiently proves how low the board itself has fallen in the public estimation. Let the handful of schemers who are scuffling in the dirt before you hoping for some petty personal gain be overlooked. Remember the great body of the people of Ohio who stand amazed at the scenes enacted here last week, wlin rad with disgust that notori ous lobbyists sat in the hall of legis lation openly directing the votes and speeches of the members, and who are fast learning to despise all whose object is honest government and home rule. " The plain duty before you is to permit no deviation from the path marked out Let no specious cen sures or charges be permitted. Do not swerve a hair's breadth from your purpose to wipe out the board and eventually submit the whole question to the people. " From this time on any and all propositions other than this are meant for partisan advantage only. There is no middle ground. To delay longer is a confession of inca pacity ; to refuse the passage of the bill is a confession of infidelity. " James E. Campbell." " Governor of Ohio." Executive Chamber, Oct, 21, 1890.

"When the janitor arrived at the hall Saturday afternoon to niako ready for the meeting he found that the bear-trap guarding the second landing had been sprung. Looking about him, he found a shoe-heel, a Eiece of steel watch chain, a vest uckle and half a plug of tobacco, and he had no trouble in arriving at the conclusion that another attempt the frurteenth had been made to destroy Paradise Hall. He raised no alarm, however, and said not a word until Brother Gardner arrived. The result of their whispered con versation was that, after the meet- ing had been opened in due form, the President looked up and down the hall and queried: "Air Brudder Clingstone Davis present tonight?" "He am," answered a voice, and the brother arose "You will step dis way. Now, Brudder Davis, hold up your heels." "Wswhat fur, saM" "Kase I want to see 'em." Clingstone reluctantly exposed the soles of his broad Bhoes. Ono of them had a new heel. "Brudder Davis, what was you Join' when you lootod dtifc oIa heel?" asked the president. "Fell down, sah." "Didn't fall into de bar-trap, did you?" "Nno, sah." "What was you doin' on de stair way?" "I dun forgot my pipe, an' cum back to look fur it." "Y-e-s, I see. Brudder Davis, I has got a word or two to say to you. I know you to be lazy, shiftless an' sort o' wicked. I has had my eye on you fur a hull y'ar past. Dar am no doubt in my mind dat you had some wicked objick in view in try in to git into dis hall. I can't prove it, an' so we can't bounce you out o" de club. It am plain 'nuff, howeber, dat you orter receive a solemn warnin to check you in your mad career." "Ize mighty sorry, sah." ""Dat's no excuse. Brudder Givea dam Jones, you will take dis pusson out in de ante-room an' gin him a series of electric shocks to rouse his moral sentiments. De shocks better be purty heavy, as his is a hard case-" Clinkstone didnt return to the hall after the performances, which Giveadam Jones said was a great success- "Air Brudder Hardfinish bmith heah tonight?" asked the president after the other case had been dis posed of. The brother was at the back end of the hall, a Bhoe off and working at a callous about as big as a silver dollar He got into shape as soon as possible, his eyes bulging out with excitement, and when he stood before the platform the president said: "Brudder Smith, I understand you is foolin' around wid politics a good deal- "No, sah. "Didn't you help run a ward cau cus las' week?" I went around dar', but I didn t run nuflin." "Didn't I pass along by dat cau cus an' hear you whoopin fur some body?" 1 jist hollered once. "Brudder Smith, I have a word or two of advice fur you. De nex,' time you whoop fur any white man in politics, doan' do it fur fifty cents. Doan' do it fur less'n ten dollars. Whoop fur a cull'd candydate fust, but if you can't find one, den whoop fur a white man. Doan' walk around on de rim of pollytics. De men who do dat ar' mean an' cheap. Go right in to de fullness an' de nastin ness of it. Lie, deceive anK cheat. Make yourself so solid dat you will be a power in de town, an eben if de bigger fish despise you, dey will not dare show it. As dis club has no pollyticks an' no use for poli ticians, you needn't cum heah no mo'." "But I doan' want no pollyticks," protested Hardfinish. "But you has got 'em already." "Den Ize gwine to drap 'em. It's de las' time I eber whoop." "Well, we'll gin you a show. You can sot down, but you'd better walk mighty soft. We hain't no room heah iur bummers." Brother Smith had only taken his seat when the president inquired if Brother Convulsive Jones was in the hall. He was. He was asked to step to the front, and when he got there Brother Gardner said: "Brudder Jones, I understand yoa is gwine to move ober to do Stait of Ohio?" "Yes sah." "An when you git dar' you is gwine to be married?" Yes, sah." "Dat is good an' well. Wo shall be sorry to lose you from active membership in de club, but we shall be pleased ober your good fortune. In gwine to a new place, an among new people, dar' am sartin things you orter observe. "Doan' wear too much plated watch chain. "Doan' hev too many kinds of re ligion. "Doan' attempt to woto wid all parties- "Kemember dat a tnree-donar diamond pin doan' make up for wipin' your noee on yer elbow. "If de rest of de people walk on de sidewalk you shouldn't take de middle of de road, eben if it is de safest. In gittin' married, Brudder Jones, doan' expeck your wife to be an angel. Doan' emagine dat mat rimony is all love an' no heavy bread. Be boss of de cabin, but doan' be a tyrant. Cultivate de impression dat you know a heap, but doan' git de .dea dat your wite is an idiot "Doan' start in at de top. You is a pore man, an' you has got to make your way. It is better to hev five bushels of taters in de cellar dan a seben-foot lookin'-glass in de parlor- Laziness eats up de flour, while industry puts a red-kivered lounge in de parlor. Extravagance scrapes de bottom of de butter jar, while economy puts nuff money in de bank to carry you frew a case of small-pox. You kin now be seated, an' de meetin' will be purceed to suspend payment an' go home." De troit Free Press. Will Rain Them. At a meeting of the N. C. Agri cultural Society at Raleigh, Dr. Benbow, L.
