Copelev, who lives in the Duiliui eastern part of this county, is a Democrat who attends to his own business, and ho is prosperin' right aloii;. He works hard, raises his own supplies and will have enough for his family use, and to sell too. He is thoroughly imbued with the idea that Heaven helps those who belp themselves, and he is right on 1 " the right track. He sold bis crop of tobacco this year at the barn door for .'! 3 and got the clean cash. That lie has laid by as he does not need it. lie says that counts for three months work with himself and a little boy, and any man can make monev at farm ing if he will attend to it. He say: he never rode on an excursion in his life; never went into any of the Al liance doings; don't believe in neg lecting his farm for anything; never went to but one speaking in his life: never voted anything but the Demo cratic ticket, and when it gets so he cannot vote that he will not vote at all. A great many people are abusing the Democratic party, but here is a Democrat who is well satisfied, goes right on working without losing time in arranging and arraigning the gov ernment, and is making a good living with a surplus. There is a practical lesson in this. Ortlcrcil 'I licir Own CttUins. llaleii;h Kveuitti: isitor. Hector McLean, of Harnett coun ty, and his twin brother were here to-day (Wednesday) on a curious mission, lhev are the oldest twins in the State and are devoted to each other. Doth are gentlemen of the '"old school." Hector to-day had on a richly embroidered vest which he has had for 42 years. Although the brothers are in good liealtn they naturally think a good j deal about death and determined some time ago to be interred in metal caskets. Heing economical, they hat ed to think of squandering1 money on their burial. A friend of theirs, who has been employed as a copper work er, told them if tlicy would purchase the copper he could have a couple of caskets made for them much cheaper than the- could be obtained from an undertaker. It was this that brought them here and they purchased the copper to day. They expect the caskets to be ready in a short time. The Messrs. McLean are well known and respected citizens of Harnett. Their many friends hope they will have no need for their caskets for manv vears to come. lYnnlc lake to he Iliiiiiliuirirctl.

Why the Pastor Isn't Liked. Some days ago Kev. A. P. Tyre, the presiding eldor of the Statesville district, says the Landmark, was ap proached by some church members in a county which shall be nameless, who asked him to remove their pas tor. The elder wanted to know what the trouble was and on inouirv found that the only complaint against the pastor was that he was a Democrat. Those who wanted him bounced were Populists. Irvimi W.

Looking on the Rriyrht Side He Has no Use for Croakers. Now is a good time to look on the bright side and be thankful. The old people who have memories of the war can't help being thankful when they recall the trials and tribulations of that awful time and the recon struction troubles that followed in its wake. There was poverty, deso lation and depression, while now there is peace and plenty and politi cal freedom. For two or three years we have been passing through that reaction that always follows a boom an inflation. Just so depression always follows a big drunk or a pro tracted spree, and the victim has to take' medicine and sutler from stag nation of blood and brain. Hut the nation is now recovering and it is a good time to look up and get a glimpse of the bright side. Confi dence is fast being restored, and soon the long hidden money will come forth and go to work. Of course, there is something in the tariff and something in silver legislation, but all this time there has been just as much money in the nation as there was five years ago. It has been hidden and kept dor mant from lack of confidence. That was good medicine. It put a stop to the unnatural boom that built great houses and put nothing in them. It forced economy and made the people pay their debts. This silver business about which our greatest statesmen ditler had but little to do with it, and if right now the ratio was suddenly fixed at It! to 1, or any other ratio, the common people wouldn't know the difference for months to come. Does anybody suppose that it would raise or lower the price of cotton a price that has been fixed by England for half a century, and fixed accord ing to the law of supply and de mand? If the fanners make more cotton than the world needs they must take the consequences. There are more consumers than producers and cheap goods are a comfort to them. I would rather be a farmer and make cotton at C cents a pound than be a poor factory girl or a hireling of any kind. There is no privilege so precious as freedom time to come and go at your pleasure time to rest if you are tired time to lie down if you are sick time to visit a sick nabor or go to church or camp meeting, or even to the circus or a hanging. All this the farmer has. but the pale-faced 1 factory slave does not. The discon- J able to niarry.

We all look over tlie tenc e too much to see what our neighbor has got. Envy and selfish ness an? at the bottom of our poli tics, and a good deal of it is mixed up with politics and religion. The Democratic party lacks a great deal of being pure and incorruptible, but a Southern patriot can't go any where else for hope or consolation. The stealage and corruption under Grant's administration is still a foul stench in the memories of the Amer ican people and the absurd theories of the Populists are too ridiculous to excite even serious contemplation. The body politic has to have a little amazement now and then. The bod' corporate breaks out in sores occas ionally and some scratching has to be done, but the doctors say we are better off for it, because thev are only skin deep and prevent internal inflammation. We have had right smart commotion within our ranks of late, but it is passing away and we will bury the Populists this fall and that will be the end of sub-treasury and pumpkin barns and buying the railroads. It will be the end of fool ing the negro with broken promises for his vote. The negro is on proba tion, and he had better go slow and sure. Governor O'Ferrall, of Vir ginia, gave him good advice and he had better heed it. The negro preach ers and teachers had better talk more about outrages and less about lynch ings." That late outrage at Thomas ville has sunk deep into the hearts of our people, and the question is, "Who next? Whose child is to be the next victim? A few more outrages will re move every colored teacher and sil ence every colored preacher in this sovereign State. Bii.i. Ark Views Upon Long Courtships. In consequence of the great repu tation which has been acquired, as was justty his due, by our ''court reporter," many inquiries upon af fairs of love and sentiment addressed to him have been received at this of fice. For instance, a charming young lady requests his views upon long courtships. Our fair correspondent opens up a great subject. Its aspects vary so entirely with the different points of view that we can only present some of these aspects and leave our friend to make the proper application to her own case. In passing judgment upon the wisdom or unwisdom of long courtships we must know the reasons of the prolongation. If our young lady finds that her lover tru ly loves her and prolongs the court ship because he is too shy to declare himself, there is no just cause why this courtship should not be brought to an end. This may be done by a little adroit assistance upon the part of the young lady. Widows are said to be particularly skillful in tender ing this assistance. A story is told of a buxom widow who precipitated a declaration from a bashful lover by telling him she dreamed that they were engaged. This encouraged the man to beg that the dream might be verified and the marriage speedily followed. ouiig laons who have what is termed a sweet tooth (and what young lady does not like candy and pickled cucumbers?) would do well to prolong the courtship. During that delightful period, which Josh Hillings said was like molasses, sweet but dauby, the manufacture of the higher grades of French candy is greatly encouraged. Indeed, we fear that if courtships were entirely abol ished, or if wives were secured here as among some savage tribes, by kmx'king the woman down with a club and dragging her out. the man ufacture of candy at 80 cents or a dollar a pound would cease. It is but right that we should warn our correspondent that after she is mar ried twenty-five cent candy will la the best she will get, and that in a year or two even that will give place to molasses taffy. Weddings are frequently post poned for economic considerations. Some ladies argue that it is the cheapest and most economical thing a poor young man can do toget mar ried. This view of the case was once urged upon a voung man who had 1,,,, i, r.i imt n.a f....l evc.r R, helped himself to anything at Us moaU h, a equal anumnt upon t,K.h of tlie slx oth,r , 1,,,.,,,... ; u,.i, ,,,,, youth and beauty mental tests as this. There are some young men who have enough to support a family in a modest way, but are too selfish to abandon any of the luxuries to which they have been accustomed. If our correspondent is engaged to such a one the quicker she drops, him the better. Young ladies as a rule are much more unselfish, and are often willing to deny themselves anything until after the honeymoon is over. The story of the Frenchman who continued an engagement through many years is well known. He said he had been accustomed for a long time to spend his evenings with his fiancee, and if he got married, he would not know where to go. To such an argument as this we have no reply to make unless the man could join a club. Heretofore we have assumed that long engagements were all the doings of men. In many instances this is not true, for some women have been known to delay weddings in hopes, perhaps, of finding another lover more to their taste. Populists Ihiycotlinir Merchants. i,iM,Urs Titt.cs. We hear that the ''boy-cot" game is starting up again, and that some of our merchants who desire to exer cise their privileges are being threat ened by certain ones who think dif ferent!' from them. Now it has come to a pretty pass that a free man must stultify himself and keep his mouth shut in order that he may sell goods to certain folks. So far as this scribe is concerned, he would rather die in the poor house than to knuckle to any such sentiment.

During the past week the general tendency to trade improvement has continued, although a moderate re action from previous activity has been noted in certain departments wherein traders' requirements had been temporarily anticipated. Hut the volume of general business has gained steadily for several weeks. There has been a further expansion of industrial output, which has had a weakening effect upon prices of iron, but which appears to have been full' absorbed without detriment to values in the textile trades or in leather manufactures. Bank clear ings in each of the last four weeks have increased not 011I3' as compared with those of the corresponding week last year, but with the preceding week this year. Commercial loans have expanded, and there is a larger demand for funds from the South and West. Customs receipts are larger, and the Treasury gold balance has been strengthened bv the interior demand for small notes. Merchandise exports continue com paratively small, the value of ship-. meats from New York alone in three weeks having been less than those of the corresponding period last year. Imports in two weeks have shown a comparative gain of 52,2u''.t,217. De vclopnients in the agricultural sec tions have been more favorable. Fall work on the farms has made better progress, pasturage has improved, and the promise of late crops, even of corn, is more encouraging. Busi ness failures in the United States and Canada during the week have numbered 203, as against 301 for the corresponding week last year. Ac cording to II. G. Dun fc Co., the amounts involved are small the lia bilities of all failing traders in two weeks of September having leen on ly 2,807,704. of which $.0y,7H was of manufacturing and Sl,7l.t0,04S of trading concems. Increased receipts of cotton at the ports and a general belief that the growing crop will be a big one, if not the largest on record, have combined to cause a further decline of 3-10 of a cent jer pound in the price of the staple. ExjMirts are moderate, but have been nearly equal to last sea son's outgo to datej and Northern mill takings in the first half of Sep tember were almost four times as large as they were during the corre sponding period last year. After extensive and general buying for several weeks, distributers of cptton goods during the last week have placed fewer orders with mill agents; but the movement has been of fair volume, and the strength of prices has been well sustained. Some makes of staple cottons and prints are large ly sold ahead gf production. Wheat prices have declined 1 1 cents per bushel, and corn values have receded 2 to 3 cents per bushel. Li quidation by speculative holders and considerable bearish pressure have resulted from the continued accumu lation of stocks and more encourag ing crop estimates. It is conceded by most investigators that the Gov ernment forecast of the yield of corn is too low by anywhere from 200, 000, (100 to 400,000,000 bushels. The Cin cinnati Price Current reports that the crop cast of the Mississippi river has been much benefitted by the rains during the last month. An other feature which has weakened bullish sentiment has been a revival of pasturage, which has lessened re quirements of grain for stock feed ing. Although the movement of old corn in the West is less than half as large as it was a year ago, the sup ply at commercial centres is grad ually increasing as a consequence of comparatively insignificant exports and a smaller consumption. The weakness in wheat values re flects the effect of the growing weight of visible stocks and of the favorable progress of fall seeding in the winter grain belt. There has been only a moderate demand for export. Inte rior receipts have fallen off a little, owing to the low prices and the larg er use of wh.eat for animal food: but the Western movement so far during the crop year has been 13,000,000 bushels larger than for the corre sponding period last year. Receipts, however, show a decrease of 22,000, 000 bushels as compared with those of tlie season of 1S02. The decline in corn prices, a slight increase in pack ing operations in the West and a fall of 30 cents per 100 pounds in Western prices of hogs have given a slight setback to bullish speculation in the Chicago provision market, but dis tributing trade has been fair.
