The committee secured the enact ment of the law levying a tax of three cents on property and nine ijoll. As drafted by him, was five cents and no line was drawn at wounds. This line made the Home a neces sity. A man who had lost an eye drew a pension, an old soldier decrepit from ae or disease received none. It wasn't just and he told the Legislators so, punctuated with the fact that while the State had paid two hundred thousand dollars f.r artificial arms and legs and pensions for the soldiers, it had expended over two millions for educating the nero, the product of the war. The Home did not drag a man from his home and loved ones. When an old soldier became a paujer, in stead of sending him to the Alms House, he was sent to the Home and the countv naid the Home what his maintenance at the Poor House would cost.

In their respective spheres each pro tects and defends the other. In peace the State protects the citizen in the enjoyment of life, limb and property and the pursuit of happiness. While in war the citizen risks life, limb, courage or the ability to successfully present it. THE IJIiUTAL BOYCOTT APPLIED TO NEWSPAPERS. The Inoir Topic has been a zeal ous but discreet advocate of Senator Vance's return to the Senate, and sup ports his view of the Sub-Treasury bill. The county Alliance of Cald well does the same thing, but one of U 1 All wc- i.uu-ni nances, controlled princi pally by Republicans, has seen fit to denounce the Topic and apply the brutal boycott method to it. And now comes the Sanford Ex press, which informs us that it has been subjected to such treatment also, but by individuals. It says An indignant subscriber met us on the court house square this week and demanded that his paper be stopped for the reason that we were with Vance and against the people. He quoted an expression that had been falsely at tributed to Vance and said, I am agin him and I am agin you. You want the farmers to be slaves." We complied with his request and two un known citizens who heard the colloquy and who had followed the plow all their days, came up and subscribed for the Express. We met another citizen in the same mood who request- eu mat nis name be stricken out. Three men present asked that the paper be sent to them. Opposition to the Express on account of the great Senator will double its friends. There are not two more honest and lair minded papers in the State than the Lenoir 7"Vand the Sanford Ex press, and such methods as the boy cott wll do them no harm. If a man does not want a paper he has a perfect right not to take it, of course, but no right thinking, just and honorable person will fall out with another simply because he does not entertain views the same as his own. and power, rrom a realization of these facts springs patriotism or that love of country which has cost thousands of lives. It was patriotism which caused the sons of this State to march, to suffer, to bleed, to die for their dear South land. It was patriotism that caused the mother, the wife, the lover to send their loved and bravest to do or die for the cause North Carolina es poused. It was patriotism that nerved the arms, steadied the steps and enthused the hearts of Carolina s sons amidst the terror and carnage of battle It was patriotism that sustained the soldier stricken down by disease and made him die far away from home and friends without cursing his fate How grandly how sublimely how nobly the sons of North Carolina per formed every act which patriotism de manded from '6 1 to '6"? is written in letters of gold, on fame's highest pin nacle and the record of their deeds now lies encased in the most precious cas ket, comprising the collection of the Great Father, marked, "Deeds well done by the children of men." Beside this casket sits another, around which the angels love to hover, because within its holy covers are the precious the pure, the sacred and the holy emblems which typify the love, the devotion, the purity and the matchless sacrifices of North Carolina's daughters. And yet the maimed, the blind and the indigent heroes of such a State and such a cause have been grossly neg lected and almost forgotten in the struggle for place and power. It would do good if this speech was repeated in every county in the State. TO TIIK CURIOUS AND QUISITO ItlAL IXQUIRKR. lir.

From the Tarboro Southerner we take the following account of a speech made by Col. W. F. Ileasley, before the Confederate Veterans' Association of Edgecombe, at their second annua re-union in Tarboro last week. Lieutenant-Colonel W. F. lieasley made the speech ot the day. Capt tv imams in inirouucing nuu, said that he would explain the objects, aims, and purposes of the Soldiers' Home. And he did. It will be remembered that at the last meeting, the Home project did not meet the approval of many sol diers. When Colonel Beaslev con eluded, the assemblage had nai'ght to say acamst it. Colonel Beasley said he had rather, after Washington, his native county, address an Ldgecombe audience iwas 10 tuigecomDe nis loved ones came when the fortunes of war made them flee. Here, he found a generous welcome, and the open-hanned gener osity characteristic of the people. For the soldiers he had worked and striven. The first effort in the direction of a Home was in 18S4, which, after he had spent $3,000, which no man could (should) give back for trying to make happy the declining years of men who had been and were neglected, proved futile. The next was in 188S. Dur ing the session of the legislature old soldiers were invited to a re-union at Raieigh. That meeting, which was intended for a parade, formed a Vet erans Association, with Julian S Carr as President. The speaker was made chairman of the executive committee, whose duty was to secure legislation 1 here is a pair of horns at Cheat ham s drug store of enormous propor- uuiis nuu wouurous beauty.

His phys ical proportions were simply enormous; his weight could not be definitely as certained but if it-was in proportion to his horns it must not have exceeded two ton. His tail was in proportion to his corporeal dimensions, and situated at the posterior extremity of his spinal euiumn exactly nue all other animals. His feet and ears require no special mention as they bore the proper pro portions to the size and beauty of the animal.
