THE ' AWAKENING OP A NATION There is a series of papers appearing in' "Harpers' Magazine" of unusual in terest. - It is entitled "The Awakening of a Nation" and is by a northern writer of capacity. Mr. Charles Fi - Lummlns. It Is all about Mexico, and we have followed his illumining pen with Increasing interest.' The progress In Mexico, during "the presidency of the very able and enterprising Diaz is most wonderful, and equals " the sudden awakening in Japan so well presented in a leading Northern magazine within a year or two. The papers of Mr. Lum- mi8 show: wide and. accurate Informa tion; nd are produced after a long -.residence in and great familiarity with Mexico,-its past and present. J They are indeed very instructive, educative. If you wish to see Mexico as it is we ad vise you to consult, these papers and you will have hope and admiration blinded as you contemplate the facts and behold the picture presented, all based upon accurate data. , It would require too much space If we were to attempt to gather the most edifying points of the discussion. We have learned to estimate Preslden .Diaz much higher. He is a very wide awake energetic, enlightened, able, progres sive man. .! has been long since our own country has had a chief executive of abilities and qualities at all equalling his. A careful reading of the articles will surprise you as to the marvellous advance in railroad and canal construc tion, in educational advancement, in fact,' in progress in a dozen important directions. . Mexico had fine . schools, newspapers, hospitals, universities, &c when the United States were a wilder- - ness. , - ' ' -' i In cotton milling no little has been done. Three years ago the imports on cotton brought the government $5,000, 000 annually. Cotton mills have in the meantime sprung up. The government receives $l,g00j000 in. taxes yearly,1 but the imports .come- not. More mills are building and Mexico is becoming inde pendent. So with other things. Mr. LUmmis shows as tp currency how the Mexicans make. The- Mexican foliar is the unit of value.- It Is worth a dollar at home, but half that elsewhere. . The importer of coffee pays $35 and sells at $40. He pays in Mexican silver and he gets $30 in gold. Total to him $54 or .more.1 Mexico sells of her ex ports 65 per cent, to the United States. She gets but 15 per cent, of her imports from the United States. This is rapid ly1 paying off her national debt. Her railroad building is immense. There are twenTy-severi dailies at the capital and 1 weeklies, almost without count. There are two English dailies. Mexico is dotted all oyer with fine buildings, some, of legaillarchitecture. We have Jerely' glanced at a few"ofSBflfty-59ijlta Mexico is indeed a wonderful land and is making stupendous progress. HOME IOLKS. The Messenger copied a statement concerning the editor of The Raleigh Recorder from The News and Observer, It is but just to the editor to state that he denies the statement as to his pur pose to support the populists and make hia paper a political organ. .We believe it discusses political questions however and is on one side or the other side necessarily. - . So Tommy Settle wants a Judge ship, When the people turn down a radical : the next thing is Xo tuck him away in some good, well feathered federal of flee. Is Tommy a lawyer? Is he of the judicial temperament? Would he be a partisan on the bench? Tommy has begun life as a teat holder and he seems resolved to swing on to the close of the volume, and finis is written. Tommy has no doubt as much charac ter, ability and zeal for the republican party as the Other fellows who seek and find. '. -' GROWTH OF DIVORCES. There is one evil a great sin that is rapidly growing in our land, and we regret to say that It Is also t rapidly spreading in the south; We refer to the mania for -divorce, and- men and Women vie with each other In the mad ness. Strange to say that . legislators sofar from ' seeing the danger that lurks to society in this disease of mind ' and the moral nature are constantly adding ,. to its1-force by unwise law, broadening its sweep by lowering the "legal bars. The ease of obtaining a - divorce 13 calamitous and ' scandalous. God has told .the children of" men what His Will is lnj the important matter of divorce. He Jias explicitly, unmistak ably taught that there is but one of fence for which, divorce is allowable. Irreligious and disregardful legislators have created many causes for divorce. They- have dismissed Jehovah out of the whole count. The whole country is being vitiated and. poisoned by the divorce disease. It Is . so In all-, the southern states except South Carolina. The Atlanta Journal says: "It is in the memory of persons not tnuci past middle age, when a suit for divoi-ce in Georgia was a rare thing; noW they come in swarms, scandaliz ing society, occupying much of the time orthe courts and creatingthe impres sion that there has been a distinct de cline in the social purity of our people. The increasing number of di vorce suits in most of the southern state and the ease with which, on al most any sort of showing, the marriage bond is legally snapped,, are decidedly discreditable to our civilization. We 'observe that In one of the oldest arid most conservative counties of this state, and one which nas a compara tively small population, sixr decrees were granted at a recent session of the superior court. Matters are worse in those counties which have large cen ters of population." j The tendency Is to break up homes and this is a great blow at liberty. It is the homes that make the perpetuity of government assured. Wipe . out the homes and you wipe out civilization and turn a country into a. brothel and a hell. . ' TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAT. . Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tab lets. All druggists refund the money if it falls to cure. 25c INTOLERANCE. A. man should be an editor for a few years f he would learn something of public temper 'and individual narrow ness. The education of a man up to the point of broadness, of toleration, of freedom, of opinion is only accom pushed In comparatively few. This country - has - shown innumerable ex amples of fanaticism among the highly educated and gifted. - The most in tensely fanatical men: and women of this country have been richly endowed, some t even with genius. To be edu cated to the point of breadth, of liber ality, of forbearance, or tolerance is not the gift of all,- indeed of but few comparatively. You must think as do, is the attitude, or I will proscribe and boycott you. . That shows the smal lest of natures, the extreme littleness of sovd. Since John Milton published his Immortal argument for free think ing, free writing, free publishing the Areopagitica, the most splendid and eloquent essay in all ' the - world the right of Independent thinking and opin ion has-, not been questioned by men who "had been educated upward and not downward. There are men thou sands of them in North Carolina today who would rob you of the right of free speech and free printing, and who would put yoti'if in their power in their own little intellectual jackboot and ap ply to your mind if possible the thumb screw of intolerance compelling con formity to their views, prejudices and desires. They are survivals of the dark ages. They pretend to" be enlightened while iiving in a snail-shell and peer through a tiny hole thinking they are sweeping the heavens of thought with their little ,s tin spy-glass. ; They are honest, earnest, cocksure but they are narrow and prejudiced , and proscrlp tlve. They have never been educated to the heights of a broad and generous tolerance of others, and have never made "the silent conquest of them selves." Truth is in the end superior to prejudice and triumphs over all ene mies. The fires of persecution cannot extinguish right nor silence the opera tions of the mind. Men- will think. , In this country they will speak it out in defiance of- enemies and ' persecutors, To boycott brains is just what the little mental thimbleriggers can not do. "Truth crushed to earth shall rise again, ".. The eternal years of God are hers." The sooner you begin to fight the fire, the-more easily it may be extinguished, The sooner' you begin taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla for your blood-disease, the easier will fx it-Tn delay b dangerous, If mot fatal. Be iSre you get Ayer's and no other. SHARPS AND FLATS. Dave Hill Is out now in the cold. He Vlll now , hide himself at Woolf ert's Roost, but he will, not be blind to passing events. He is .a man now with out an office and without a party. He neither fellowships with the grand old .democracy nor affiliate with the Han na contingent the boltocrats. Hill is a really able man and an excellent de baiter,-a development of the last few years. He was recently talked with as to his senatorial experiences and views. He Is rceported as saying: that "no lawyer could serve there without benefiting by his experience. His powers as a debater are ' necessarily quickened and improved. Legal ques lions are constantly coming up and call for something of the same' exami nation and treatment -that are be stowed upon thco."TTfie"-sen alette" aTxIdy tot debate. Men who are not lawyers even ibe'come. good debat ers -here." ' It is amusing rather to examine our exchanges that (are mfugwuimp or bol tocratks and see how disappointed they are fn the McKinley high tariff tax revised as the Dingley "bill. What else had they a right to. expect? McKinley was known to be an extreme protec tionist, and after him was called the completest juggernaut arrangement tout ever cursed th American people in the shape of taxation. When the mugwump, Independent democratic papers went to the support of this agent df plutocracy and exiporient of prSstatetion they had not tlj'e right to expect anything (but what has 'happen ed another drastic tax measure whol ly antagonistic to the best interests of the country and to the declarations- of detnoteratic conventions. The New York Evening Post that hate and fought Bryan and supported McKinley, says this, and absurdly: "We are sorely disappointed In Pres ident ,McKinley's' message. "..But what he says about revenue is both weak -arid disingenuous, and the only programme discernable in his message is one of .pulbTIc extravagance mount ing higher and higher. Tf southern farming is ever made remunerative under present conditions it must be hdt by producing one or two great crops, hut. (by growing a variety of crops. For years the newspapers have urged diversify, diversity, but with most farmers this Was been disre garded to- a. considerable degree. It is tobacco or cotton. By the aid of the accursed tobacco trusty the pritee has been greatly lowered more than 25 per cent. Then ft has been overdone in the way of production. In Granville where we have knoWn leaf tobacco to sell of ten at $75, $90 and-$100 per hundred pounds It fetched Hardly a fourth ot this for the same grades. 'In that un rivalled tobacco county the farmers are preparing to (grow cotton so un- protfftable Is the plant now. Let the farmers try the sugar beet. Why not? Make the attempt. It is profitable in theiwest, and why not in tftie south? Truly Astonishing. Miss Annette N. Moen, Fountain, Minn., says; "Ayer's Oherry Pectoral has bad a wonderful effect 4n curing my brother's children, of a severe and dangerous cold. It waa truly astonishing how speedily they found relief after taking this prepara tion:" SNAPS. The news on the 16th Was that Gen eral Gomez had (been severely wounded in the province of Santa Clara.. The New York Times, goldbug, says that the new -tariff cuts off $10,000,000 ot -export coal. Thatis only a part of the twronig that baaPcome from electing a goldbug Candidate. The Times ihelped to defeat Bryan. : r c Tariff tinkering disturbs (business. but a protective movement for higher laxes for a class disturbs the tax pay- era all over the land. (People do not like to be oppressed and Wronged "by legalized, robbery. , What an awful disaster was that off fateful Hatteras, the devouter, when seventy-eight lives were lost and only four were saved. 4No romancer ever conjured from his, Inventive ibrainV a scene of suffering and terror equal to mat or the destmri tf xrn..4 ' v wu icuMtte PUBLIC- OPINION. Henry Clews, of the Wall street fra ternity, having shouted with the best of them about "taking the government out of the banking business," "the end less chain," and "the grenbacka must go," now veers' around and says that "phrases of that kind should now be considered as having gone d6wn with the general wreck of the party which originated them." Indeed! They party which originated them is the Wall street end of both the Cleveland party and the party now in power, and un less all interpretations of the McKinley inaugural are at fault, that party is very far from having gone down yet. Springfield Republican. : The North Carolina legislature has passed an act requiring teachers of public schools to read aloud to their pupils at least twice each session the constitution of the United States and the constitution of Norh Carolina. This is a "crank idea" worthy of general adoption. Every youth in the coun try should be made familiar with the constitution of his state and of the United States the "bill of rights" of each should especially . be memorized. By this means they will acquire knowledge of the character and limita tions of their government; and this is something that millions of adults, in eluding a shocking number of legisla tors, have yet to do. Columbia State. Greece has a plucky king, no more in fear of the great powers and their con cert than David was of swaggering Go lath, or Jack of his giant antagonist Those overbearing and truculent Ana kim could either of them gulp him down at a swallow, but that does not alarm him in the least. He is . deter mined to stand up for his country and the persecuted children of the Cross against all menace and opposition. In this he will have the sympathy of every body in Christendom whose sympathy is worth anything, and may nnd it shield and buckler of defence -against even the' overwhelming power of his leagued foes. This - Baltic Goth seems ehdowed with the sand of Felops or Atreus,- and stands to win the trophies of Miltiades. Greetings to him from Atlantis, amid . the surge and thunder of the Western main beyond the car tographical limits of Alcataeus or Dem ocrti, are quite in order, and we wish more power to his elbow. If he bluffs off the confederate powers who are try ing to browbeat and coerce him, and puts down the evil-minded Turk within and beyond his gates, Greece will have a new i hero fit to take rank with the best of her old ones, and perhaps found a legend out of which a future Iliad may be woven.- New York Tribune, It is interesting just now to compare th, last recorded utterances of the president-elect and his distinguished democratic opponent before the people, Says Mr. McKinley: "Poor money nev er made, any country rich, and sound money! will not and cannot make any one boor. The contention between the two conflicting ideas or systems is an old one, and bids fair always in some way tq exist. But let us resolutely set our faces for the right and -never tire of its earnest and fearless advocacy.' Says Mr. Bryan: "New York cannot favor . a financial policy that makes beggars and tramps of the rest pf the country. Let them foreclose the mort gages on the farms, they will still have to find tenants of the farms. The farm er will grow to the extent of his wants. If necessary, the wives and daughters can go back, like the women of old and make the cloth and clothes them selves. ! But while the farmer is getting his bare living from the soil your streetsi will be filled with idle and hungry men, and it will take- all your accumulated wealth to keep the people from starving." The one policy is mel lifluous and theoretical, the other plain and practical; one is triumphant, the other bows its head in temporary de feait; but over all stands the truth Nothing is ever settled in this world until it is settled right.

So terrible has its nature been that when I blew my nose small pieces of bone would frequently come out of my mouth and nose. The discharge was copious, and at times very offensive. My blood became so impure that my general health was greatly, impaired, with poor appetite and worse digestion. Numerous medicines were used with out, relief, until I began the use of Bo tanic Blood Balm B. B. B. and there bottles acted almost like magic. Since its use, over a year, not a symptom has returned, and I feel in every way quite restored in "health.
