A Veritable Storehouse of Knowledge A Power for Good and for Evil, the Press Should be in the Hands of Honest and Conscientious Men The Position Occupied by the Editor No Less Important and Responsible than that of the Preacher. f Rev. N, II. Pittmau, in Lumberton Kob esonianj The newspaper is policemen, judge, lawyer, jury, statesman, legislator, teacher and preacher. It mast report correctly on music, agriculture, botany, poetry, theology, politics and law. It must rightly represent synod, confer ence, association, legislatnre, alliance, parliament, missionary tea, Christmas entertainment, card party, circus, dance, art levee, oratorical contest and church services. The newspaper must be a library, a thesaurus and an encyclopedia. Its utterances must meet the exact and sensitive demands of a world of special ists in every department of thinking. To successfully manage a first-class newspaper requires knowledge like the wideness and deepness of the sea. The newspaper is accessible to every body. It was said of Noah Webster, the man of the famous "blue back spell ing book," that he taught millions to iead and none to sin. As a teacher the newspaper has not that golden blame lessness which was claimed for old Noah Webster; but the newspaper is the inightest educator on the earth. It teaches monarchs and presidents, sen ators and congressmen, farmers and merchants, preachers and professors, mechanics and musicians, historians and philosophers, millionaires and pau pers, bankers and bootblacks, reformers and thieves, sailors and pirates, clowns and gamblers, saints and sinners. It goes everywhere. People speak and rulers listen. It utters the wisdom of all the people for all the people. Nation hears from nation. Friend hears from friend. Enemy hears from enemy. Wickedness listens to the wisdom of goodness and goodness hears the voice of folly. The merchant tells his prices, the preacher his text, the jury its ver dict. Here death brings its mourning and marriage its white and floral glad ness. Fire and flood and famine and pestilence and war and panic here tell their story of suffering among men and beasts. Fortune, wealth, fame, relate their triumphs and their struggles, their extravagance and folly. Tragedy and comedy ask for your tears and your laughter. He who is friternal to his fellow- men, lie wno wouia Know tne nopes and fears of the human race, he who has knowledge and hope and love be yond the shadow of himself cannot be complete without the newspaper. I think it was Thomas Jefferson who said: "If I had to choose between a government without newspapers and newspapers without a government, I would choose the newspapers without the government." It may be that the voice of Thomas Jefferson, the voice of freedom, the voice of our "Declaration of Independence," will awaken and refresh appreciation of newspapers. If religion has had its martyrs, so has the newspaper. Freedom of opin ion and freed mi to utter it may yet give us a book on martyrology. To the editors of France a French states man once said: "Suffer yourselves to be blamed, imprisoned, condemned, suffer yourselves to be hanged, but publish your opinion. It is not a right. It is a duty." In our editorial chairs are men as patriotic as Patrick Henry, who said in the face of frowning England: "Give me liberty or give me death." As true to their country's honor as Leon idas, who died in the Pass of Ther mopylae; as consecrated to all that philanthropy means as was John How ard; as brave as the soldier who never i lowered his crest to an enemy. Such I men cannot escape the penalty of being somewhat akin to the apostles. The newspaper is my friend. The earlier years of my manhood were spent in a newspaper office. For seven years of my mature manhood I was on the editorial staff of one of the best religious newspapers in this country. The newspaper is not the pulpit's rival. It is the pulpit's-ally, "But," says someone, "there are bad and hurtful newspapers which are unfit for the shop or the home." That is so. His brethren sold Joseph for twenty pieces of silver. Judas sold Christ for thirty pieces of silver. But Joseph and Christ have not thereby lost our esteem. Against the home, God's first institution, wrong has waged unwearied war. There may be dis mantled and hurtful homes, but the home existed before sin came into the world. It will continue to exist in spite of sin in the world, "and to the end of time true Americans will sing "Home Sweet Home." Bad newspapers supply the bad demand of bad people. Our delight in sensationalism must not lead up to neglect the clean and health ful and homeful newspaper. The ex istence of wicked newspapers ought not to be a testimony against good news papers. Many merchants are well aware that their customers are .their best friends and take pleasure in supplying them with the best goods obtainable. As an instance we men- tion Perry & Cameron, prominent druggists of Flushing, Michigan. They say: ''We have no hesitation in recommending Chain berlain's Cough Remedy to our customers, as it is the best cougli ruedicine we have ever sold, and alwavs gives satisfaction." 1 aeanugs wiin me roau turougn mm re For sale at 25 and 50 cents per bottle by M. gret his retirement.

Breathing poison iu a whisper, In a sigh Moving cautiously and slow, Smiling sweetly as they go. Never noisy, gliding sinoothy like a snake, Slipping here and slipping there. Through the meadow fresh and fair, Leaving subtle slime and poison in their wake. Saw you not the scandal monger. As she sat. Beaming brightly 'neath the roses In her hat? In her dainty gloves and dress, Angel-like and nothing less Seemed bhe, casting smiles and pleasing words about. Once site shrugged and shook her head, Raised her eyes and nothing said When you spoke of friends, and yet it left a doubt. Did you hear the sea ml a 1 monger At the ball, Through the music, rhythm, beauty. Light and all? Moving here and moving there, With a whisper light as air. Casting shadows on a sister woman's a whisper, word or glance As .she floated through the dance, And the world is busy with a spotless name. Vou will find the scandal mongers .everywhere. Sometimes men. but oftetrwemen, i oung and fair. Yet their tongues drop foulest slime, And they spend their leisure time. Casting mud on those who climb by work ana worth. Shun them, shun them as you go, Shun them, whether high or low, They are but the cursed serpents of J tho earth. WHAT NEXT? A few papers and a good many in dividuals have sought to make the sil ver question the paramount issue, but they are greatly in the minority. Fur thermore we do not want to be at the mercy of the silver men any more than we want to be in the clutches of the gold men. Progressive Farmer. The foregoing paragraph must have been written by some one of the office force while the editor of the paper was away discussing free silver to some of his Populist friends. Those who have been constant readers of the Progres sive Farmer during the past two years will not be persuaded to believe that editor Ramsey was in earnest if he act ually penned the above lines. What strange influences have been brought to bear upon him since the new year was ushered in? If we are not badly mistaken the Progressive Farmer has "sought to make the silver question the paramount issue," and told its readers that they could get no relief until Congress enacted a law providing for the free coinage of silver. We had been led to believe that the Populists would make this the paramount issue in the coming campaign, as they have talked about little else during the past two or three years. But our Raleigh contemporary takes issue w'th us and appears to think that the silver question will not cut much of a figure in the campaign after all the fuss that has been made over it. Probably the leaders of Populism are preparing to spring a new issue. It is about time for a new one. They thought they had found the panacea for all the country's ills when they in troduced the sub-treasury scheme, They soon had to abandon the idea of having the government build them warehouses where they could store away their produce and draw on it They then got up a scheme for the government to buy up the railroads and operate them. This issue soon found a substitute in the money ques tion. Isow comes the Progressive farmer and says that the money question is not the paramount issue The Populists' plan is to drop an issue when it commences to grow unpopular, What issue will they spring next? ban ford Express.

HOW THE PUBLIC HEALTH HAY BE IM PROVED. Driven and Artesian Wells the Reme dy Malaria, Chills and Fever Caused By the Drinking Water and Not the Air We Breathe With Pure Water the Eastern Part of .North Carolina Would be as Healthy as any Other Section. IJudge Walter Clark, in Tho Orphans' friend, j That is a fair land, with broad and fertile acres on which the sun first shines, as its rays fall upon North Car olina. There, many and navigable streams are commercial arteries which defy the burdens which corporation exactions can placeupon shipments from less favored regions. For no section of the State, or indeed of the whole republic, has nature done more. But it must be confessed that its ma terial development has not been in proportion to its manifest natural ad vantages. The towns are not large, the manufacturing element is not con spicuous, its enterprising young men too often remove towards the setting sun, and few come from elsewhere to build up fortunes and prosperity in this highly favored region. The reason is obvious. Ask any man at random in Eastern North Car olina as to the healthfulness of his place of residence. His loyalty to his town or neighborhood will cause him to reply, in good faith: "There is no healthier spot anywhere, but just a little lower down ." As it is just those sickly places a little lower down prevent the immigration of young active men from other sections and hold back the development of what is naturally one of the finest sec tions in the whole Union. And the obstacles could be so easily removed! Those who have travelled West and South and made enquiries know that the valleys of the White, the Wabash and countless other rivers in the Northwest were formerly in the homes of deadly misasma and malaria. Now they are almost free from it. In the Mississippi bottoms in places where formerly a white man could not safely spend a night, now white men reside with immunity the year round. The change is due to the fact that science ascertained that malaria is not in the air but it is embodied in the water. Our State Board of Health took the matter up, and proofs and demonstra tions that this is also true of Eastern North Carolina will be found in the very interesting report of that board of 1894. It is there demonstrated that driven wells of 15 to 40 feet were a great benefit to those who could not bear the expense of deep wells, while artesian and deep wells were a sure remedy. One of the most interesting letters there published is on page 207, from Dr. W. H. L. Goodman, of Franklin, Va. He states that when he removed to that place in 1885 mala rial troubles were prevalent. In 1887 the first artesian well was put down, with an immediate improvement in health, and now the town has twenty five wells, averaging each a flow of fifteen gallons per minute and over 500,000 gallons per day. The popu lation has doubled and malaria is un known. The wells average 140 feet deep and the temperature of the water is 60 degrees. In a letter since to the writer of this he reiterates this state ment, and adds that these are all over flow wells, spouting up four feet above the surface, the size of pipe two inches. The water is light and can be drunk in large quantities without any un pleasant results. The average total cost of these wells is only $60. At that place, about oo feet below the surface, a hard sandstone is struck which is 12 to 15 inches thick. Below that, clay, black sand and finally white sand are passed through by the borer, when the overflowing stream of living water, pure and health giving is found. While the particular strata at any given place, or the depth at which water may be found, may differ, there is no doubt a belt more or less wide, on our ocean front clear across our State in which these chief overflow wells can be put in by a little enter prise, rendering such a belt absolutely as free ftom malaria as the tops of our grand old mountains in the West, which are gilded by the rays of the uprising and the setting sun. Between this belt, where artesian wells can be put in, and the foot hills which stretch along from the falls of the Roanoke to the falls of the Tar, the Neuse, the Cape Fear, etc., (which geologists say mark where the shore formerly stood,) between this artesian belt and these foot hills, deep wells of 150 to 300 feet can be sunk cheaply by the ma chinery now used for that purpose. The water will not overflow as in the artesian belt but when the proper strata is struck the water will rise to within a few feet ot the surface and can be pumpted up. This is the result in the valleys of the rivers of the North west and West where the artesian or overflow wells are rare, in the cane brake region of Alabama and in many other places, and the water has proven as healthy as that of the overflow wells. It has made every community using it, free from malaria. There is not a spot between the falls of rivers and the ocean shore line where one class or the other of these wells cannot be put in. Special machinery is built for the i ... i - purpose ana tnrougnoui me rorinwesi "esl ana outnwest u is a regular Dusmess wiin men to go rounu wun j I thNP marhinPV inkin(T wHU wherever i - - o seded. Our penitentiary authorities on the State farms in the East could not do better than to sink some of these wells, at once improving the health of the convicts and giving an object lesson to Eastern North Caro lina. With the success of a syste matic movement of this kind for the sanitation of Eastern North Caroli a (which is approved by science and large experience in ot er States) a new impulse would be given to that part of our State which would fairly revolu tionize it. ' Some one has said, do what you can for your fellow man for you "will not pass this way again." With that motive I have written this for your paper, on a subject to which I have devoted some labor and study, in the hope that it will fall under the eyes of some who will have the energy and the public spirit to do for the "Sun Rise" laud of North Carolina what has been so successfully accom plished for the public health in many other States. Raleigh, N. C. RIDING A FREE HORSE. After Doing This Don't go Elsewhere to Hire Another. One Mr. Burns, of poetical fame, made a nice remark about seeing our selves as others see us. Some other sage, philosopher or statesman also said something about 'Consistency beiug a jewel." Another trite sayiug is never to for get the bridge that carried you safely over the stream or words to that ef fect. We are forcibly reminded of these things by numbers of incideuts within the past year and previously. We can number our friends by the score in certain emergencies that is to say, when they are pecuniarily in terested in an enterprise aud want it heralded abroad in flaming head letters. In such cases they cannot say enough good things about us; but their memory is very much like the old darkey's mule awful thick hide and extremely short memory. They forget that in order to bo in a position to aid them we must publish a paper all the year round. To do this takes money and lots of it, yet these friends, when they get into a position when they want work done for which they kuow they will have to pay, they are not in evi dence at this oliice. In other words, after riding a free horse until he is jaded they go elsewhere to hire an other. It may be noted, also, that even in the way of advertising iu this paper these people are not in it, and if per chance a small ad is required to com ply with the law, they often go else where or, as the old fellow said "jew" us down, or at least try it.

On her return she said to her parents: "At the party a little girl fell off a chair and all the other girls laughed but I didn't." "Well, why didn't you laugh?" 'Cause I was the one that fell off.' The Forum For January. Following- M. Paul leroy-Beaulieu's notable article in the December Forum, the January number of 27ie Forum con tains "Some Sustentions on Currency and Banking," by Mr. Adolf Ladenburg, a promiuent banker of New York City. As a panacea for our financial ills, Mr. Laden burg suggests that the banks in every city or small district combine and form a sort of Clearinp-llouse Hank, and that these Clearing-House Banks com bine and form a State Clearing-House Bank, and that the State Cleariug-Hoiise Banks eventually unite and form a Na tional Clearing-House Bank. He sai's that when this is accomplished we would have a central institution of finance (dealing with its members only) which would represent allthebanks of the country and be guaranteed by them, and to it should ultimately be delegated all power to issue currency. It would be a great central reservoir from which every little bank in the country would derive its strength to supply its customers with bank-balance mouey and currency, and under judicious manage-1 ment would cive a confidence and stabil ity to commerce not hitherto experienced in this country.

For the past two years I have had liver trouble and indigestion. I always employ a physician, which I did in this case, but obtained no beneficial results. I never had any faith in patent medicines, but having seen Kipans Tabulcs recommended very highly in the New York Herald I concluded to give them a trial. T After using them for a short time, I found they were just what my casa demanded. I have never employed a physician since, which means $2 a call and $l for medicine. One dol lar's worth of Kipans Tabules lasts me a month, and I would not le w ithout them if it were my last dollar. They arc the only thing that ever gave me any permanent relief. I take great pleasure in recommending them to any one similarly affected. (Signed), Mrs. J. TAYLOR."
