When you see a youth who . will
do any sort of work, no matter how
menial it may be, rather than be
idlr, you can make .up your mind
that that fellow amounts to somev
thing. The young man who would
starve before he would do anything
beneath What he conceives to be his
dignity is not made of the right
stuff to cut much of a figure in this
world. Don't be afraid of any sort
of work so long as it is honorable

Gus Tliies and Houe Barrier

Last Thursday night at the Haile
Gola Mine, S: C., an explosion took
place, v .
c'The; engine and other top ground
macninery4are,run at riight as well
as during -the ,day. Hope Barrier,
of Mt. Pleasant, is clerking there.
He and Agustus Thies were in the
engine room after supper. They
concluded to return to, the house
and retire. They had not been out
the room five minutes until there
was an explosion that knocked down
one wall. Had they been in, it
would have been instant death. -
1. is one of those explosions such
as occur sometimes apparently with
out a can ee. Hope Barrier wrote
that it was an "instantaneous explo
sion, No one was hurt.
Jolm JJrock Can clit. '
John Hrock, the wife murderer,
so charged, has been caught. It
will be remembered, that this fellow
was accused of drowning his wife in
the sound at WrightByilie, about t'.n
days ago. - .; ..-.:. .- v.; . .
If he cn substantiate his tale, he
is not guilty; but his own conduct
and remarks and manners show that
he is a very depraved man. He was
captured near a barroom in Wil

The National Alliance in session
ha3 elected Mr Marion Butier presi
dent of the National Alliance. He
was formerly yice president of the
Alliance. This is quite an honor
not cnlv to Mr Butler, but it shows
that even the National Alliance sees
good timber in North Carolina for
carrying out its purposes, .
This will -virtually take him out
of the Stele, but will give him a
salary of 3,000 per j year.

31 r. Simmons' IiCtter.
Mr. Simmons writes a letter that
kn0Qks the bottom put. of Senator
Vance's opposition; though its always
been a personal matter with the
Senator, the old man! will not let up
m his opposition. Mr. Simmons
has not done half what his friends
thought he had and; Senator Vance
or no other strong believer in the
great rights of a Senator, can object
to what Mr. Simmons did.

' On Monday, the 19th, Judge E T
Boykin, with j Solicitor. Webb, will
open the spring . term, of Stanly
Court. It .will be for both criminal
and civil causes. i .
Stanly court , has; , lost lots of its
glory- indeed the times they? now
have don't seem at all akin to those
of even ten years ago. u 4
Court use to be a side affair, and
the main performance was in the
swapping grounds ,1 where every
variety and character pf . horse flesh
could be seer; and I every kind of
flavored breath cculd be found. All
has been changed, j the fair (?)
grounds are gone a-, church ' and
private residence are thire. Stanly
now has as qniet a court week as
any county in the State. A kind,
generous people live there.
