President Dihz, of Mixico, is cred. ited witb tbe invention of an inge n ous method of ridding tbe country of banditp, including train robber, which is working like a cbarm. A desperado of more than common intelligence was captured about two years ago, and the President inter viewed bim in prison several time, fbe bandit told him that the want of occupation was tbe root of tbe whole trouble. Tbe President said ' I will test you. You shall be lib eraled, and I will appoint you chief of police in yonr native district, You are to guard all trains and to protect passengers at the way ata- 'cni You can appoint your on ubordinatea from your followers. You will be rewardtd for nsiintain- ng good order in your district acd held responsible for all lawless acta by whomsoever committed." There has not been a robbery iu tbat district (which waa for i erly a dangerous one for tourists to pass through) since tbat appointment was made. The system has been ex tended, and now the solitary unit formed policeman on the platform of nearly every small station in Mexico is an ex robber.

The Lynchlfe's Revelation, Pleas, n Massey, in tbe Christian Adyoitte, tells a good one on a Lynchite. Cod decs-id it reads about as follows : Lynchita bas a revelation from tbe Lord tbat ha is to take unto himself, as a spiritual wife, the wife of his neighbor, who, with his wife, are lomewbat taken with the doc trine. He goes and tells the woman who thinks she should consnlt her good, devoted husband. He is sent for and Lynchite tells tbe revelation be bas bad. The husband bears metkly and proposes to retire and pray for a revelation too. Afwr some very devout preeentation of the situation, he returnc, smiling, to th room and informs Lynchite that he has had a revelation that material man cant have a Spiritual wifr, but must become a spirit himself to ob tain a spiritual wife, tbat it was revealed to him that he should make a spirit of Ljnchite, ''therefore," said bn, "just set still till I can load my shot gun and I will giye you an easy transit to thespber where you can bave a spiritual wite. ' xie stepped to tbe room, put a very heavy charge of powder and obot iuto his gun and returned to ree but a distant glimpse of tbe departing shadow of Lynchite. atop It By Law.

Statesville Landmark: White int rock is being shipped by the car load from Lincoln county to a glass factory in New Jersey.

ANOTMrCIt PLAN PROPOSED Dy Which the Producer of Cotton May leitl lUrect H'lih the Mnanfaclnrrr, Pionmr Mil's correspondence to Charlotte News : My plan to remedy the low price of cotton' Isttjj: To change the time of paying our debts from Octo ber, November and December, 1S98 to Jun July and August, 1890 which is tbe end of the manufac turers' yar. By this change th South would have a monopoly on her own product, cotton, which tb world is bound to have. The world is bonnd to have this cotton, there is no doubt at out tbat, and under this SjSteti the law of supply and d mana would rule and nx tbe price, and not gamblers cf Wall Street and Iverpool, as now tbey da. It would be the mi' ufacturer and the farme tbat would fix the price. For in stare, the planter could rent large sample room in every city and town and a ht had his cotton gin ned be could take bis samples to these sample rooms with name and number of srjip!e, ainl tbe manu fao'urer could go to 'bis sampl room and select tbe grade and nam ber of bales he wanted and the price he could afford to pay, and the agent at this room could let the planter know, and he could Jeliver the same as wanted . Now, Mr. Elitor, this is a South ern movement tor self protection, if we of i be South do not organize and protect our products and oar indus tries, I will insure you that England nor onr own New England and North rn States will not, for their interest is in getting cotton as cheap as tbey can. If we of tbe couth will organize and protect ourselves, in utead of going wild over politic we could become one of the richest 'parts of this clobe, but it will take a co-operation of the farmer, manu facturers, merchants and planters, all to meet together and discuss this or some other pluns for self protec tion. There are miny details to be dis cussed through the press or at mass-meeting of the people, if they see ht to e 1 1 a meeting. I would fay there is nied of a meeting of this kind, for CLe reason there teems to be not a very good feeling between tbe town and country, which will grow wider as long as bard times exist. S McWbibter Pointed l'arHKraphs. A corner in the market is seldom square. People who aro too fresh are apt to get in a pickle. It is tbe rolling wheel that gatb ers the mont punctures. When marriage is not a success divorce is its successor. The channel tbat great minds run in is never overcrowded. Lovers are not necessarily alike because they correspond. Wise saws should be filed in tbe archives of the memory. A scientific boxer may be either a pugilist or an undertaker. Corners are as difficult to get in a street car as in the market. Tbe steeet vender often makes a howling success of bis calling. Its a poor road that will allow a bicycle to indulge in mud slinging. Physio if thrown to tbe dogs might give tbe poundmaster a va cation. When a man is a candidate for oflice his chtck is mightior than hie word. Tbe political whitewash brush covers a multitude of freckled repu tations. It is the unwritten poems and unpung Bongg tbat make life en durable. A man would rather win $1 on a w.igor than earn $5 at honest labor. A detiire to n.ind one's own busi ness is a taste that iu often hard to acquire. A man with a "ckate" on may roll in the gutter, but a rolling skate cuts no ico. A married womanV rights might ba used in correcting ber husband's wrong. Fire is a good pervant, but it is apt to go out at night, just like the other servant?. The opposite side of tbe street is one thing tbat never comes to the man who waits. Prof. Lewis In the Clly.

An Old Belle. Mr. John Moore showed us ten-dollar bill of Continental mon ey today (Saturday). It was printed iu 1778 by James Dayisand the reading matter is surrounded with a border. In one corner, in separate border, is the motto 'Union of Hearts the Strength of Interests." The first display line on one side is tbe words, "Death to Counterfeit." This bill was showed by Mr. Moore'a great grandfather at the close of the Revolutionary war, and Mr. Moore says he is go ing to keep handing it down in the Moore family. Mr. Moore bas been offered ten dollars for it often. A Bllaerable Loohlng: Case. By all odds the moat drawn np, crooked and miserable mm we have seen for some time came into our oflice today, for a pull, of course. We promptly urged bim to apply for admission to his county home, is seeming to us a case eminen ly tit for the county's care. He promptly withdrew. Now every tender heart has an iwpulse to aid the afflicted, but such must surely refuse the care offered them, choosing to play npon the charities of the world. We think that more than half the time they bave an able-bodied accom plice somewhere awsiting to share the proaeeds, unwilling to earn ying as tbe rest of ns have to do.

Tbe dead man is always in fault. The juries are organized to acquit. The State is always at a disadvantage in prose cuting those charged with murder.
