Reporter and Post. 1 * PAPE rt FOB THE PEOPLE t tfMered at the Banbury y. C., I'uat-office as Second CUut MaUtr, •fI'ItURSDAY, APRIL 14 IW7. UB , . , The Mercantile Agency, New Ifork, reports April Bth, the basins so fail area of gllpj.eiitire cunutry foi the previous Mten days to ullll bar for the United ; Statee 198. The failuros in *ll section! of the country are about up to the ay- , •re*e.|gThe alignment in New York, , ,ofcty aiz and these , unimportant. Gtsst Britain threatens to seixe Tor tngaa Islands from Hayti, in default of ' pay 111 tilt of debt. The claim which amounts to $600,000, is an individual one based upon a number of cessions, aubcessions and OOD tracts regarding the privilege U out mabogao/(not mountain birob.whioh is oalled mahogany m Stukea county) tlyU not cut, or at least in sufficient quantity. A very dark cloudj oame over this city, on Monday at 10 a. m , during whioh a singular phenomenon was obser ved by several persons on Inniss street 1 in the shape of a 6re ball near the , ground, whtpji exploded with a bright flash and startling sound. The explo- ' sion was not like thunder, but to use the : expression of the witnoesea, "like scmo tbing bursting."—Salisbury Watchman. 1 The above described phenomenon was lUtcly caused, by an terolite, that ii a atone that had fallen from the air. ' These stones which ara composed of me* teorie itpn appear instantaneously as meteors, surrounded with a light of in t*p&c /piendor, and rushicj through the air in an oblique direction with immense velocity then explode with a '.oud noise. The Verona, Penu., Tribune-Press alludes to the farmers in the Soutb, and especially income parts of this State, complaining of the low prioe of tobacco and of the high prices charged for bread stuffs. It has an intelligent appreciation of the situation whoa it says : "To our mind the southern farmer is to blame for his destitution in this in stance. He waates thousands of acrea of land in raising totyusoo of an inferior quality, which could be turned to muoh better use in raising the necesasries of life. There is hydlyj one in a dosen among them who even raise enough for their own use. Nine-tenths of all the vegetable* consumed io the soutb are raised in the north, southern farmer persists in raising noth ing but tobacco just so long will bis brother toilers in the north grow rich on the productions of his vegetable farm. American food adulteratious are so general that even t!\#J apices and condi ments are "doctored." A very great country, tbia ! —Wilmington Star. We do not knew that American food adulteration is more general than the English, in every branch of trade in which the piactice could be applied, it has been introduced, till few nan now tell what they eat and drink in the form of adulterative material. This writer was told in London that port wine was frequently adulterated even in the docks of that city. The practice of adultera te, or sophistication as they tern it in England, has even boon applied te drugs. Cbickory root aa well as turmeric are ■used in adulterating mustard. If yon cannot procure ground spices from some well known and reliable source you bad better buy them whole and bavo them round. The Winston Serfiuei has boon assis ting towards the attempt to boom the twin-oity. It considers diversified in duattyes the great neod of the timo. It *7«- 1 Tbe Northwestern road"will not stop at Wilkesboro a day," it bas been as serted, but will osteud to the rioh iron mines of Cranberry, in Mitehell county, »nd tbenee push onward for more V\ es tern couceotioo. Winston will bo with is about 100 miles of Cranberry, while Chattanooga is neatly three hundred ■tiles distant. Tbrn why should we not bestir odrselves to seaure in our midst the establishment of blast furnaces, roll lag trills and iron foundries. Tbe coal from tbe comparatively untouched fields of Stokes, and those of ( halhaai are sufficient to swpply the fuel for these /enterprises." It seems strange to us that Winston should look for ore to Cranberry, and other placee distant from 000 to two or three huadred fgiles, when all tbe iron industries that are likely to be established at Winston oould bo sup plied with irow ore of sa good quality as pan bo found m tbe State within twenty miles of its oourt-bouse from Stokes •maty. THE IRON KEG ION OP BTOKES. A (sw words on the iron deposits of | this aou«ty seems to ns in place now I that the O. P. kY. V. Railroad has penetrated across it. Tbe uon ore belt in Slolres county lies on the north side of Dan tiver, be ginning about two miles from Danbury and extending for some six miles or more, ia a north-westerly direction. There are also soma isolated deposits in other parts of the county, mostly ic the ouutb-western part. Tbe kind of ore may be described in general terms as magnetite (magnetic iron ore), granular ore, of very ooaree grain, with sometimes a small admixture of hematite. The ore of this range occurs for the moat part in a group of parrallel beds, in a dark to greenish black mioa and horn-blend gneiss. Medium sise blast furnaoes are pim possible ia » ooontry still covered with • denee forestal growth, where water power ia to be bad upon every creek as w»ll as on Dan-ariver, where rock for building purposes oan be obtained ev erywhere. and limestone for flux is ready te hand, and labor can be got at low rate*. It woald bo better polioy to bring tl>e ore to the state of nature on the ground, in tbe form of pig metal and blooms, than to ship the raw mate rial—so as to gtvt the country the benefit to be derived from the introduction of iron making. Ore firom many of the deposits was worked in bloomaries from 1780 till 1870. If a foil report on tbis range of iron ore was prepared and published, sueb as that prepared fifteen years ago by Dr. Lesley on tbe Guilford iron ore belt in the interest of the N. C. Centre Iron k Mining Co., of Pennsylvsnia capitalists, capital would not be long in finding a way to invest it and in producing the necessary transportation for utilising the tesouroes of this county. The Maine fishermen bare suggested that the President closed United States i ports to Canadian fiab products. Mr. Cleveland has replied to heir suggestiou in aq exhaustive communication in the course of which be wys: "I understand the main purpose of your letter if to suggest thai, >n case re course to retaliatory measures authoris ed by ibis act should be invited by tbe unjust treatment of our fuiienuen in future, the object of such retaliation might by fully accomplished by 'pro hibiting Canadian caught-fish from en try into ports of the United States" The existing controversy is one in which wo nations are the parties cojoeroed. The retaliation oontemplatcd by tbe act of Congress is to be enforced, not to protect solely any particular interest, however meritorious or valuable, Lut to maintain the national honor and thus proteot all our people, la this view, violation of American fishery rights and unjust or unfriendly aots toward a por tion of oar citizens engaged in tbis bus iuess, is but tbe occasion for action, and constitutes a national affront which gives birth to or may justify retaliation. This measuie once resorted to, its ef fectiveness and value may well depend upon the thoroughness and extent of its application ; and in tbe pcrfoi nunce of iuterrational duties, the enforcement of international rights and tho protection of our oitiisns, tbis govsmment and the people of the United States must act as • unit—all intent upon attaining the best results of retaliation upon the basis of tbe maintenance of nstionsl honor and duty." Alluding to tbe serious duty whieb congress baa improved upon him and of tbe discretionary upon jusi occasion of tho power conformed under tho late act bo says .- "I a ball doom myself bonod to in fliot no nnneooasary damage or injury upon any of oar people; bat I shall nevertheless, be unflinchingly guided by t sense of what tbe self respcet and dig. nity of the nation demands. In the maintenance of theee and of the support of the booor of the government, beneath which every citixen may repose in safe ty, no sacrifice of personal or privato interests shall be considered as against the general welfare." HOW IT WORKS. "As the bow unto the coid is, so unto tho man ia woman." The woman suf frage experiment in Kansas adds a new proof to tbe poet's assertion. As a rule tbe wires and tae maids voted the same ticket as their husbands snd sweetbeaits. Tho result is an increase of the Repub lican majorities. In a Democratic Btate tbe Deosooratic majorities would be in creased by a like experiment.—Phila delphia Record James G. Blaine is threatened with at. Port Gipson, Indian Tor rituiy. Some tiae since Mr. the Wilmington Star had a rtiMU tt itorial on Col. Iligginsnn's "ktbi *nd sympathetic" eMay on Paal H. Hayue 1 and other Southern poeti. Mr. Kings bury says : r "Pinkn«y,Hayne,Timrod and Lanier constitute a bright array of men of gen. iua Some man of pure culture—Vrof. Harrison for inrtaDee —would do a need ! Ed and generous work if he would care fully se>ct the very but of Southern poetry and publish it in a stout duode cimo volume of ihe site of Stcdman's "Viotorian Poets," to be sold for $2. it would piove a hit, we hare no doubt. Solect the best of the poets named, and then the aeleotest inspiration of Wilde, Washington Allstou, Phillip P. Cooke, John K. Thompson, Poe, Tiekuor, Ran dall, .Usance Thompson, Hope, Hill, and twenty or thirty other* who have I written soma poem or poems that hare genuine and that ought to be gathered into a Soother* Anthology Nona but a Southern man or woman ! should do this needed work. Stedman, superior as a critiej aa he ia, has shown that he appreciatea poets of hi* own aeo- LK>n much mare than ol the South." We do not know why any decided preference should be given, to the 12 mo. form. Ruakin has said all books should be made of uniform aixe, though be does not stata wha'. aixe he would [ prefer, but as his own edition of bis . productions is published in 8 mo. we i infer that this foras is bia choice.

I OUR SrATK CONTEMPORARIES. ,! Our road law does not bear equally upon all our citiieus and is unfair, for although a man be worth t sloo,- | ' ')00 and own five thousand acres of land , 1 two doscn wagons and car .1, and hauls | oyer tile pubiio ten thousand dollars worth of produce a year, he is road free ' 1 and does not contribute one cent to '. wards repairing the roads which bis ! own hauling has ruinsd. Not only this, f be will charge his poor laborers cenis a day when the law forces them iou the read*for his benefit .'here is luo justice in this.— Swithfield Her | aid. Hut there are two slidis to the ques tion, or rathei there is argument for the I property holJer which will about offset , this advanced by the Herald. The man ; worth 100,000 may not have ehrildien to attend public school*, yet be pays that propei ty $ 1,250.00 annually for the support of schools while his neigh ; hor who has fire or six children to at . tend school does not pay five dollars j tax. Oocasionally yon will find prop erty holders wbe would think it an out rage to tat them to keep up a road, no matter bow rnuoh they out it to pieoes carrying their produoe to market, and they know it ia robbery to tax them to educate other paople's children. These ' are the embodiment of selfishness, and justice i« unknown to them.—New Berne i Journal. I I r There is nothing seriously the mat f ter with the South —the grandest eoua try in the world—and nothing the mat ter with tha times. The trouble is with the people, and is generally home-made trouble. Invincible iguoranoe, insup portable laxiness, confirmed dishonesty and uieanneaa of spirit are the diseases that prostiate aooiety and fill the land , with diacoutaut.

The filamtinqj !i9»ns* of this country is nervous debility anJ prostration. It goes under nany names 1 uS it is essen ially tlm same complaint, lospita'a nr..l private ii.stitti 'ions ft r nervous patients nri crowded Tho average of lliu a the United States is de reasing every year, i Siuldcii leaths from nervous r'llajw ".raong o".r business, onal niul public men are °c frequent ns scarcely to excite remark. TV majority of sui cides, committed without ap parent renson, or under so-called "denr ssica of niirita," ore really prompted hy nervoun ?>rost ration, which is a fruitful source of infinity and crinu with all their grief and horror. They tlue.iten very life of .bo n't t ion. They assail the 'iVings of its power nnd pros >erity. They wreck manhood's - crength and woman's usefu' ne«q and beauty. Every n» should know the causes. What are they ? The answer is cr.sy end terribly >lain: Cur vicious personal jabits; our carders and lawless eating and drinking; the in tense mental and physical strain arising from our mad race after money, pc. ition and influence; the fears and struggles of pov erty; the uso c f narcotics and stimulants; our fashion of timing day into night and uight into day; and, briefly, our desperate willingness to iiay any price for an hour's pleasure or fucccfs. So we yurn life's candle at both ends and fill tho luratic asylums and the rraveyarda. The disease from which we suffer and dio is, in plain Eng lish, Nervous Dyxjxpsia, as it s seated in the Korea and in he organs of Digestion, Assim lation and Nutrition. Healthy iigestion being impeded or des 'ltiyed, the whole body, nerves included, is literally starved; even when there is no emaci ation to tell the sad story. Nervous prostration sends out its warnings:—headache in tho morning; a persistent dull heaviness or aching at the base of the brain; wakefulness; loss of appetite and disgust with food; loss of mental energy and interest in ordinary duties and business } restlessness and anx iety without any assignable reason; eructations; bad breath; foul mucous on tho teeth; occasional giddiness; palpitation of the heart; sal lowness of the shin; coated tongue r.r.d rrndual failure of strength and ambition. The remedy is a total aban donment of the habits and cus toms which cause the disease in each individual case, and the use of Shaker Extract of Boots (Seigfl's Syrup) to cure the mischief already done. This great remedy, prepared by the Shaker Community of Mt. Leb anon, N. Y., i 3 especially adapt ed to eradicate Nervous Dys pepsia. To do this it acts directly and gently but power fully upon the disordered stom ach, liver and kidneys, restor ing their tone and vigor, pro moting the secretion ot bile, ex pelling waste matters from the system,aud purifying the blood. Upon the nervous system Shaker Extract (Scigel's Syrup) acta as a safe and wholesome anodyne without tho slightest narcotic effect, and then leaves the nerves to regain their nat ural tone and strength through its wonderful influence upon the function of nutrition. It is safe to eay more nerv ous dyspeptics have been re stored by it from the depths of mifieiy to a freth enjoyment of life and labor than by any or all other forms ol treatment combined. .
