Let us have less of croaking and
fault-finding, and more of hard work
and patience and perseverance during
the year 1894. Talking hard times
helps no one but in fact does a great
deal of harm. Oar troubles are not
lessened by magnifying or dwelling
upon them.
THEHartselle Ma.) Enquirer very
truly says that a nsw year is but
another chapter added to a man's life
and his life, in its success and failure,
when referred to his allotted place, is
exactly what he makes it." Let us
then accept this principle and act
accordingly.
Hon. Koi'E Elias having requested
the President to withdraw his name,
which was before the Senate tor con
firmation, that body having failed to
act favorably upon it at the extra
session, Melville E. Carter, of Asheville,
has been appointed Collector of
Internal Reuenuefor the Western Dis
trict of North Carolina.
With the last issue the Tarboro
Southerner entered upon its seventy
second volume, lhe southerner is
the oldest paper in the State, and
under the management of the veteran
printer-journalist James G. Charles it
has been greatly improved of hue.
Mav it continue to live and flourish
even beyond its present age and
condition of fortune.
Mr. II. W. Kronheimer, of Oxf -r.!,
has taken a position on the editorial
staff of the Winston Tobacco Journal.
The publisher Mr. II. E. Harmon and
the readers of his paper are to be con
gratulated upon acquiring tne x tvkcs
of so capable, industrious and expert
enced a newspaper man as Mr. Kron
heimer. That he will do good wuik
on the Journal goes without saying.
The Oxford Public Ledger begins
the new year by enlarging the size of
its pages and donning a neat and
attractive heading. Always enterpris
ing, wide-awake to the interests of its
town and section, and withal a newsy
local paper, the Public Ledger deserves
the fullest measure of success and
prosperity. The Gold Leaf hopes
1894 may deal as kindly with Editor
Britt as the merits of his journal justly
deserve.
The Mocksville Times has entered
upon its fifteenth volume, and the
Gold Leak hastens to congratulate
Editor Coley upon the fact that his
paper has so long and successfully
weathered the storms of financia
depression that have engulfed so many
similar craft during all those years
But a fellow who has escaped the
kidnappers and marriageable girls o
Davie and the Brushy Mountain
regions like Bill Coley, can escape
almost anything except death and
taxes.
The Winston papers say the com
missioners of Forsyth have decided
that Peter De Graff, convicted of the
murder of Ellen Smith, is to publicly
hansr. We can account for such
action only upon the ground o
economy. Rather than go to the
expense necessary for a private
execution the commissioners propose
to gratify a morbid curiosity and follow
a mostvicious precedent by presenting
the sickning and deplorable spectacle
of a public hanging. This is a sad
commentary upon the good morals
and sense of decency of the Forsyth
Commissioners in this anvanced stac
of civilization.
On assuming editorial charge of the
Durham Globe our young friend John
W. Jenkins had a few words to say as
to the future policy of the paper, as
was becoming and proper, and as is
customary in all well regulated news
paper establishments at such times
He might not have meant anything
more than he said, and then again he
"mought." He says:
The Globe will be clean. It wil
seek an audience in the home and
place beside the hearthstone. It wil
not furnish a vehicle for filth or
scandal or lewdness. It will not
scrape the gutter and serve up a dish
of slime to satisfy the vitiated public
appetite.
IT 1 S N OT what we say but what
Hood's Sarsaparilla does that tells the
story of its merit. When in need of med
icine remember HOOD'S CURES
O. J. Carroll has been appointed
United States District Marshal for the
Eastern District of North Carolina,
vice Mr. J. li. Hill.
The Corean Mission, for which
Ion. Thos. R. Jernigan's friends were
working in his behalf, goes to a man
named Mills, of Michigan.
Hon. B. II . Bl'nn, member of
Congress from this district, is detained
at his home near Rocky Moun', on
account of sickness in his family, and
has been excused from attendance at
Congress ten days in consequence. Capt.
unn was among the absentees a few
days ago, when the Sergcant-at-Arms
was instructed to bring in all dilatory
members in order that the House
might proceed to business. Some
complaint has been made that certain
Congressmen were not in their place
when such important measures as the
tariff bill and legislation on the tobacco
tax question were about to be con
sidered, but Congressman Bunn
appears to have had a valid excuse for
absence from his post of duty just at
this time. Members of Congress are
not unlike other people in their
devotion to and anxiety about mem
bers of their family in times of sickness
and personal affliction.
The latest phase of the question of
Public Printer of the United States,
is that Mr. Josephus Daniels, of North
Carolina, who is chief clerk of
Secretary Hoke Smith, Department of
the Interior, may be appointed by the
President. His elevation to this high
and responsible position would be very
gratifying to his thousands of friends
throughout the State. Mr. Daniels is
well qualified for the position. The
Washington correspondent of the
Winston Daily World says this :
There is a strong effort being made
by Hoke Smith, Senator Ransom,
Senator Gorman and others to make
Josephus Daniels Public Printer.
sincerely hope, before another week
rolls by that his name will be sent to
the Senate for this responsible position
I know no man south of Mason and
Dixon's line who could fill it with
more executive ability. The appoint
ment would be one in which I would
take a personal pride and very great
gratification.
ASTO IMMIGRATION.
Gov. O'Ferrall, of Virginia, enter
tains correct ideas in regard to the
question of foreign immigration. In
Ida inaugural address touching upon
this subject he said :
I must not forget to refer briefly to
the subject of immigration. With
open arms we welcome every stranger
into our gates who comes with a good
character to dwell among us and
become one of us, and by his brain,
money, or muscle, aid in developing
our unsurpassed natural resources. We
want him to be a laborer, not an idler,
in the vineyard ; a worker, not
drone, in the hive. We want him to
come with love for our institutions in
his bosom, and not as a plotter of
treason or a fomenter of strife.
To all such comers we extend the
righthand of fellowship, without regard
to their political creed or religious
faith, invite them to seats at our table
and places in our hearts. We offer
them an equal chance with ourselves
in the race of life, to be entered upon
with courage and in a spirit of self-
sacrifice. Lands we have in plenty,
homes we have in abundance, for those
who will buy them with their money
or earn them by their labor.
Our farmers, embarrassed by the
present disorganized and unreliable
condition of our labor system in some
sections of the State, will greet the
coming of the sturdy and frugal
German, the reliable and cheerful
Irishman, the industrious and amiable
Swede ; and most willingly receive
them into their service, while the
projectors of our public works already
knowing well the worth of these wage-
earners, will give ample employment
to their steady hands and strong
muscle.
Let us then encourage by legislative
enactment, and by an enlightened
public sentiment, proper immigration
into our borders. It will be good for
the immigrant and beneficial to us
and if it should require libera
appropriations the money will be re
turned to us ten fold in the resulting
benefits.
With the beginning of the year
begins Col. J. S. Carr's presidency o
the North Carolina State Agricultural
Society. It is safe to say that he wil
make the next fair at Raleigh ;
grander occasion and a bigger success
than it ever was before. When Col.
Carr undertakes to do a thing he can
be depended on to do it right. Before
the good year 1S94 shall go the
Journal wishes to see Mr. J. S. Carr
of Durham, elected governor of the
Old North State. No man could we
elect who would give more genera
satisfaction and in whose hands the
Interests of the State would be safer.

SHEEP RAISING IN NORTH CARO
LINA. The Wilmington Star mentions an
instance of profitable wool growing in
North Carolina, and what one man
can do why may not others ? Intelli
gent application and proper attention
to the business are the main essential
requisites of success. Nature has done
her part for the State. Climate and
soil are favorable and man is only
required to do his part. The Star
says :
Maj. R. S. Tucker, of Raleigh, who
has given attention to the raising of
fine sheep, sent exhibits of wool to the
World's Fair, and had the satisfaction
of being awarded a gold medal as a
testimonial to their superiority, and
this was where the exhibits had to
compete with wool grown in a number
of our own States and m other
countries. Maj. Tucker's success is
due to the fact that he has selected
and raised his flocks with care, and
with a view to their superiority as fine
and large wool producers, but' he has
done nothing that any other man
who takes interest in that industry
could not no. It is as easy to have
superior as inferior sheep, and while
they may cost something more in the
start they pay better and are really
cheaper in the end. We have re
peatedly said that, take it all in all,
there is no country in the world better
adapted to sheep culture than the
Piedmont section of the South and it
could be easily shown that there is no
industry of the farm which, consider
ing the capital invested, and the labor
required would give the same profit,
with the exception, perhaps, of early
fruits of choice varieties, which get
into market when people are so hungry
for them that they are willing to pay
almost any price. There is but one
thing in the way of profitable sheep
culture in North Carolina, and that is
the too numerous dog, but with con
cert of action among sheep raisers that
nuisance could soon be abated.
NO DISCIPLINE.
News from Washington shows a sad
want of Democratic discipline.
We have heretofore had occasion to
allude to this, and we revert to it
because of the mischief it is doing.
The President is not blameless in
the matter, but Congress cannot escape
its responsibility.
When the President called Judge
Gresham to the Cabinet he showed a
lamentable disregard of the sentiments
of his party, and since that time party
lines have been very loose at Wash
ington. ine retention 01 Kepuolicans in
office has had a disastrous effect, and
it is little wonder that members of
Congress refuse to recognize party
obligations that are disregarded by the
Administration.
There is need, very great need, of
wholesome party discipline. The
President is wise and patriotic but he
is a citizen, and it is the highest duty
of the citizen to subordinate his
individual opinions to the will of the
people. He is a Democrat, and to be
a Democrat is to yield obedience to
the law of the party as decided in its
high court of appeal, the National
Convention of the Democratic party.
It is a sublime spectacle when a
master spirit throws himself in the
breach to resist the impetuous assault
of the mob and breast the storm of
popular opinion, but when, in a Re
public, the enlightened masses, after
years of patient investigation, have
reached a conclusion and chosen
agents for the execution of their will,
it is little short of moral treason for
those agents to go counter to their
wishes and make shipwreck of their
hopes.
The President and the Congress
were elected upon clearly defined
principles and conditions. The Chi
cago platform was not constructed on
shifting sands. It stands on the solid
rock of Democracy, and neither Con
gress nor the President has a right to
ignore a single line of the sacred
instrument.
It is a sad condition of affairs when
a Democrat becomes an obstructionist
in a Democratic Administration.
The ocean is insignificant in its
separate drops, but when it billows
are blended navies are stranded, and
man, majectic and imperious man, is
as a straw in the whirlwind. So it is
with parties. In their seperate com
ponent parts they are powerless, but
in their united strength they are
omnipotent. New Berne Journal.
Few questions are of more import
ance in North Carolina than the
matter of good roads. They are alike
indispensible to farmers and towns
people. Transportation by wagon,
however, costs fifty times that by rail,
and in some States Ohio, for instance
it is seriously proposed that rails
should be laid on highways in
preference to improving the whole
roadway for wagons. This idea
would not be so practicable for North
Carolina as for a State like Ohio, but
if we want to keep abreast of other
States we must see what they are
doing. Winston Sentinel.
The Phrenological,
The Phrenological Journal and Science of
Health lor January prints in its first
pages a character study of Prof. John
Tyndall in which Dr. Beall explains many
points of great value to students of
phrenology. The veteran phrenologist,
Dr. J. L. Capen, contributes some very
original and surprising views on the
organ of weight which will excite interest
if not controversy. Frof. Sizer continues
his elaborate series, How to Study
Strangers, and in this number discusses
Quality, with many illustrations. His
phrenological delineation of the cele
brated reformer, Lucy Stone, isespecially
sympathetic and closely analytical. It
will be read with profit and pleasure.
Mrs. Charlotte Jr. Wells gives an account
of George Combe's remarkable experi
ments with the daughter of prof. J. J.
Mapes, which deserves verv particular
mention, as it contains certain proofs of
phrenological principles which will satisfy
the most incredulous and exacting
investigators. The editorial features
are unusually strong, and a published
letter from the eminent scholar, Joseph
tooK, on the value 01 1 hrenology, will
command wide attention. The other
departments are replete with good things.

A VIRGINIA WEDDING AND THE
REPORT THEREOF.
The dispatches have told of the
marriage of benator raulkner, of West
Virginia, and Miss Virginia Whiting,
of Hampton, Va., on the 3rd. The
Richmond Times had a special of near
a column and three-quarters about the
event, and along toward the end of it
we find the following :
Never before perhaps has a bride left
this rural town with such a trousaeau as
that which filled the endless number of
trunks of Miss Whiting;. Before they
were finally locked and strapped, the
eyes of Miss Whiting's girlfriends feasted
on unrJernear. nlmy and delicate, fit for
a princess of the realm, and gowns such
as never saw the Iignt 111 Hampton
before. There were dinner gowns, re
ception gowns, and delicately tinted
creations for full dress. The wedding
costume alone, with its appurtenances
and laces, cost $1,000. All these details
were designed by the fair young girl who
is about to be launched into the whirl of
Washington society.
Now what ought to be done about a
thing like that? The natural reply is
that the reporter should have his neck
broken, and that is perhaps true. But
there is still another view of the ques
tion. The reporter of a marriage
desires to be agreeable, and seeks to
give the people he is writing about
what they want. Shouldn't they, then,
share with him the responsibility for
the execrable taste which he often
exhibits? Does anybody suppose, for
instance, that the "girl friends," and
through them the newspapers, and
through them the public, would have
ever had a glance at the interior of
Miss Whiting's trunks " before they
were finally locked and strapped" if
Miss Whiting had not been agreeable?
Doesn't everybody know that somebody
inspired the reporter to write what
sounds like a dry goods advertisement
about " underwear, filmy and delicate,
fit for a princess of the realm," about
"delicately tinted creations," and
all that? And how did the Jenkins
know that the "wedding costume
alone" cost $1,000 unless somebody
gave it away ?
Oh, yes. Swear at the reporter for
his wretched taste, but do not forget
that the thing that makes you sick at
the stomach tickles somebody else to
death.
Now let's take a glance at the groom
before the bride's trunks were " finally
locked and strapped:"
In spite of the full-dress rehearsal on
Tuesday evening, at St. John's church,
Senator Faulkner studied the marriage
service assiduously on his way to Hamp
ton, just before the wedding. He looked
very young and handsome, and re
marked that he might feel nervous if he
were not going to marry just the girl he
wanted.
This " young"-looking bridegroom
is 46 years old and was a widower
with five children. Then imagine
such a "remark" as is put in his
mouth, falling from the lips of a man
of his age and sense, and a United
States Senator ! The reporter must be
taxed with the full responsibility for
this particular piece of foolery, and in
view of it we withdraw any suggestion
that his life might be spared. Char
lotle Observer.
Town and. Country.
When the coldest days of the winter are
upon us, where do people freeze to death
In town, as a rule; hardly ever in the
country.
When hard times pinch the nation,
where do peoile beg in vain for work,
and sleep in hallways and churches and
even seek shelter in iail: in town, as a
matter of course, and not in the country
When famine stalks abroad, where are
its victims? In town, and never in the
country.
When Bradstreet last week reported
"an almost unexampled number idle and
suffering, where were they? In town,
as might have been expected; such re
ports never come from the country.
When people are desperate and discon
tented, where do they dety the law and
attack society? In town, always; in the
country, never.
There are hundreds of thousands of
people iu the United States now out of
work or barely eking out an existence,
who should study these pointers and
draw a profitable lesson from them. For
vears to come it may be regarded as a
settled fact that the town is overcrowd
ed. But in the country the man whose
labor is his only capital can get steady
work and make enough to provide him
and his family with shelter, food, cloth
ing and fuel, lhis is more than hosts of
toilers can get whim they stick to the
town.
The farmers in the country are far
from enjoying their old time prosperity,
but they can at least hold their own
With hard work, economy and diversi
fied crops they can live and keep the
sheriff at a safe distance, and have a
little cash 111 their pockets. As a general
thing the country has stood the recent
hard times much better than the towns
The man who is out of a job thesedays
with nothing in sight, makes a great
mistake if lie turns his back on the coun
try and expects to make his living in
town. He will find ten applicants for
every place, and when matters come to
the worst he will hnd that the town is
a cold-hearted, strictly business place,
where the moneyless man has few, if any,
ti'iends.
These bitter truths will come home to
thousands of unfortunates before the
winter is over, but it is not too late for
many to choose the path of safety the
road leading to the country. There is
room there and a living for millions
There productive industry will swell our
commerce, and when the town begins to
grow and prosper with the country
around it the labor market will change
its conditions, and the tide will drift
town ward again.
When times are hard, trv the country
when business and industry are boom
ing, try the town. Atlanta Constitution

TAKE IT BY THE TAIL.
A Practical Talk by the General
Secretary at the Y. M. C. A.
SundayMr. T. T. Hicks Next
Sunday.
Though the day was rainr. a good
crowd assembled at the service at 3 p.
m. Sunday. Mr. George Manning read
Prov. 6: 20-35, and 7: 24-27, after
which Mr. Bridgers led in prayer. Mr.
lossiter took for the basis of his remarks
the words in Exodus 4 : 4, "Take it by
the tail." After explaining the context,
he said: These words contain some yery
significant lessons for us. They suggest,
first: That any useful thing may be
come injurious and ruinous, when di
verted from its intended purpose. Time
is a blessing when properly used, but
when diverted to selfish ends or wasted
in indulgences, it becomes a curse. It
always pains me to hear young people
talk so flippantly of "killing time." It
is too precious to be wasted in idleness,
especially when we remember that we
must give an account for its use. An
idle brain is still the "devil's workshop,"
and much of the drunkenness and crime
can be traced to a reckless waste of time.
Lost time can never be found. We have
just time enough to get saved. None to
lose. Improve the mind : Use every "dia
mond minute. lie the best man you
possibly can. Get a grip on God's time
it is not yours.
Business was next spoken of and its re
lation to the Christian life explained. I
make the statement without fear of suc
cessful contradiction, that man has no
other business here than that of serving
God and lifting the world up to him.
Any other view of life is a wrong view
a selfish one. When money making is
made the end, the soul contracts and the
whole life is injured. "He that loveth
silver shall not be satisfied with silver."
We think to pursue it, and when our
coffers are full, we want more, and I pre
sume that word will express the inex
pressible agony of the avaricious man in
hell morel morel more! But, "he
that lovetheth silver shall not be satis
fied with silver."
Pleasure is a dangerous Berpeut, for
the Bible savs, that the "lover of pleas
ure shall be poor," poor in purse, poor
in mind, poor in soul, "belhshness,
says a great writer "is the whole of sin,"
and the excessive lover of pleasure is a
polished sinner, for the "carnal mind
(minding the nesli) is enmity against
God," and again, we are commanded, to
"love not the world, neither the things
in the world. If any man love the world
the love of the Father is not in him."
Pleasure seekers are never soul savers.
They love not the things of Zion. These
are tame and insiped to the man who is
given much to festivities. The Christian
is not, as is sometimes supposed, robbed
of everything enjoyable. He has oys
the poor deluded worldlingknows not of.
Appetite and Passion were then han
dled with "gloves off." In a plain but
sympathetic manner, the Secretary
spoke of the exceeding sinfulness, and
ruinous character of gluttony, intem
perance and impure practices. The rem
edy suggested was faith m Christ as a
complete Savior. A serpent lifted up by
the tail is harmless. It took faith in
Mosea to put forth his hand, and "take
it by the tail." But he believed the word
of the Lord, and lo ! the deadly serpent
was changed into the harmless rod. So
will it be with you. The God who can
change a rod into a thing of life is more
than a match for our tempers, passions,
appetites, and depraved affections. The
heart of the serpent is said to be in the
throat near the head, and when Christ
came he bruised the serpent's head and
forever broke his power. Believe and go
free. Get a grip on yourself. Take, by
faith in Christ these serpentine elements
of your heart, "by the tail. The ad
dress was timely and doubtless will do
good.
Mr. T. T. Hicks will conduct the service
next Sabbath afternoon, and a large
crowd is expected to hear him. He will
speak on an interesting topic.
The New Peterson Magazine for
January.
Among the January magazines the
New Peterson is one of the very best. The
list of contributors holds various of the
most popular names of the day, and the
writers have given their best work. " The
Story of a Statue," by Edgar Fawcett,
promises to be his finest short novellette.
Howard Seely has won a fresh triumph
in his Castle Grumble. lhe opening
article, Actors and Audiences of Other
Days," by Patty Pemberton Bermanu,
is full of out-of-the-way incidents and an
ecdotes, and the illustrations are from
rare old engravings never before repro
duced in this country. The most written
about American author in England and
this country is Louise Chandler Moulton,
and everything from her pen is eagerly
and always delightful reading; but she
has done nothing in the way of reviewing
more artistic than her paper on Coulson
Kernahan's " Work in Literature." A
very large edition of his new volume, "A
Book of Strange Sins," was exhausted
in London on the day it appeared. "A
Hindoo Legend," by M. G. McClellan, is
a veritable gem. "Quebec" and "A
Daughter of Perugia" are not only as
interesting as they are unlike, but the il
lustrations of both papers are beautiful.
The poems are by Florence Earl Coates,
George Washington Coleman, and other
distinguished singers. The " Fireside" is
unusually varied and attractive, with
some six or seven short articles by Minot
Savage, Prof. J . Howard Gore, etc. One
dollar a year ten cents a copy for a
fairly ideal literary periodical. Address

The Children all Cry for It.
Castoria is truly a marvelous thing for
children. Doctors prescribe it, medical
journals recommend it, and more than a
million mothers are using it in place of
paregoric, Bateman's drops, so-called
soothing syrups, and other narcotic and
stupefying remedies. Castoria is the
quickest thing to regulate the stomach
and bowels and give healthy sleep the
world has ever seen. It is pleasant to
the taste and absolutely harmless. It
relieves constipation, quiets pain, cures
diarrhoea and wind colic, allays feverish

Little Finger
Big Bargains
Its little finger is very large : and so are our bargains. The paradox
of a little finger being big may be likened to the paradoxical induce
ments we offer you.
Profits and Hind Feet
Its hind feet are out of all proportion to its fore feet, just as our profit
is overshadowed by the buyer's. Its large head represents the size
of our stock. The many years that have elapsed since the time when
this creature flourished will hint at the wearing quality of our goods.
In conducting our business our aim has always been to give satisfaction to
our customers both in QUALITY OF GOODS AND PRICES. To succeed
in both lines requires experience, tact and special facilities for purchasing at a
low figure. An inspection of our stock and prices will convince you that our
aim has been successful. Our stock was never LARGER AND MORE COM
PLETE IN ENERY DETAIL OR REPRESENTED BETTER VALUES. It
has been carefully selected and embraces everything in the line of GENERAL
MERCHANDISE, such as LADIES' DRESS GOODS AND TRIMMINGS,
NOTIONS, WHITE GOODS, HATS, SHOES, BOOTS, &c. We can not be
beat on Shoes for Men, Women and Children. All styles and qualities
LOWEST PRICES. Full stock of STAPLE AND FANCY GROCERIES,
