Must people value a newspaper for what it prints, while some others have eau.-e to appreciate it lor what it doe not print. And did vou know that it reipiire.-. liner judgment to know what to keep out of a paper than it does to know what to put in!' Well. U"s a fact. The best part of editing is in keeping things out of the paper. The Charlotte Observer wonders what Cy Thompson. Father" Worth and Hal Aver will do when their terms of otliee expire in Januurv. We don't know as to the others but Mr. Hal Aver might devote some of his leisure to getting his commit tee" together to decide that State Fair press-premium contest which he has not had time to do these live or six years. Commkmim; on the completion of tiie Cascade tunnel of the Great Northern Kail way a marvelous feat of engineering of its kind -- which has just been opened for train service, the Philadelphia Hi cord says: Before the new century shall have far advanced such short cuts on the great transcontinental lines of trans portation will have multiplied all along the serried backbone of the Continent. In these days of pneu matic drills and dynamite the tunnel is cheaper in the long run than even the rudimentary switchback. Tiik Suffolk, Herald, one of the best weekly papers in Virginia, is offered for sale. The recent death of its owner and editor. Hon. J. F. Booker, makes this step necessary. Virginia journalism lost one of its oldest and most honored and useful members when .John F.dward Hooker passed from the . stage of earthly action. The Herald, by the way. completed its twenty-eighth year with last week's issue. May it fall into worthy hands and 1'itc long an honorable successor of its former self. The Last Christmas of the Century. Christmas is an anniversary of un usual signilicancc, even to those who are not fully able to comprehend its meaning. The day brings to all in Christian countries a surcease from the cares and labors of life. The busy shops and stores are closed, the hum of the factory ceases, the bustle of the mart is no more. The- scattered members of the family arc reunited, joy reigns supreme. To the sincere Christian. Christmas brings a rich cargo of memories of the Christ. It should be a sweet day for all those who love the Lord Jesus in sincerity and truth. The century on net Tuesday will see its last Christmas. The fact is full ol pathos. How many more are yet to come? It will be the last Christmas to many who are looking forward to it with joyous expecta tions. May the day "and all that cluster around it be a means of grace to all. By the time the eyes of our readers fall upon the foregoing, the day will have faded into the solemn past. The hope of the Advocate is that every reader may be able to sav. deep down in his heart. The last Christmas of the century has been one of my happiest and best.' Ral eigh Christum Advocate. IHth. Food Changed to Poison.

We have not read the article and Io not know whether it refers to the con duct of the Koval Baking Powder Company in beating this office out of an advertising account on a mere technicality or not, but evidently they thought it did or they would not have been guilty of such a little thing. Lei's roll up our .sleeves and get ready to do a bigger work for our selves and for Henderson and Vance county than we have ever done be fore. Let's build more houses to live in and do business in: let's establish more manufacturing enterprises, and induce more people to come in and cast their lot with us. And if we have not money to invest ourselves we can at least encourage those who have. We can talk: if we can't do any thing else. And talk goes a long ways when properly applied in the right direction. Tiik Newport News Herald came to us Monday morning in 24-page form, the Sunday issue being a special Christmas edition. It was tilled with choice reading matter and timely ad vertisements, ami was in every sense highly creditable to the publishers. The llirnld has not yet celebrated its first anniversary, but it at once took its place among the lirst of Virginia journals and it has improved with age. Our friend Frank S. Woodson, a native Tar Heel, late of the Danville Hrtjislcr, is editor and general man ager, which is saying enough. ( i kn kka l Julian S. Carr keeps his watchful eye on the Confederate Sol diers' Home, at Raleigh, to which he has already generously contributed more than once. He will call a con vention of the veterans to memorialize the Legislature in behalf of the old veterans of the great war. He wants an increase? for pensions and the com fortable maintenance of the inmates at the Home. A most worthy pur pose. No doubt the patriotic legisla tors' will be ready to aid in o good a cause. - Wilmington Mtsstti;r. The Difference. North Carolina preachers are more con-iideratu than Pennsylvania preach ers. Rev. W. C. J ines. pastor of a Pennsylvania Congregational church, chargns Deacon Williams with having slept fifteen out of sixteen Sundays while he was preaching, and last Sun day, when he caught the deacon nap ping, while he was preaching, the minister at once cut short his sermon, dismissed his congregation and sent in his resignation. A North Carolina preacher would be more considerate. Some years ago. while Rav. Jesse H. Page was preaching in Morganton on a hot summer night, his congregation noticed that he lowered his voice al most to a whisper. Later on in the sermon, by way of explanation, he said: "I hope the brethren in the rear of the church will excuse me if tlmy cannot hear. I cannot talk louder for fear of waking up the brethren who are asleep on the front seats. "--Ral-ei'rh AV-N mid Of server. Saw Death Near. ' It often made ley heart ache.'' writes L.

Thoughts About the Day That Brings Joy to the Hearts of Old and Young. Hefore another issue of t he Observer Christmas, lhat greatest day of all the year, will bring joy to the hearts and homes of our people. It is beautiful to give one day to the ideal to have one dav apart. One day for generous deeds, for good will, for gladness. One day to forget the shadows, the rains, the storms of life; to remember the sunshine, the happiness of vouth and health. One day to forget the briars and thorns on the winding path, to re member the fruits and Uowers. Oneilay in which to feed the hunjrv, to salute the poor and lowly. One day to feel the brotherhood of man. One day to remember the heroic and loving deeds of the dead. One day to get acquainted with children, to remember the old, the unfortunate and imprisoned. One day in which to forget yourself and think lovingly of others. One day for the family, the fireside, for the wife and children, for the love and laughter, the joy and rapture of home. One day in which books and stocks and deeds and notes and interest ami mortages and all kinds of business and trade are forgotten, and all stores and ahops and factories, and offices and banks, and ledgers and accounts and lawsuits are cast aside, put awav and locked up, and the weary heart and brain are given a vovare to fairy land. Let us hope that such a dav is a prophecy of what all days will be. Let all the churches be green with the emblem of an immortality which winter cannot kill. Let all the churches repeat the Christmas message of "Peace on earth, good will toward men." Let every heart forget its woe and its wrongs, every home be brighter and more radiant with hope and faith anil love, and the joy which these three graces bring: and let every soul pray "God biess us everyone." Orange (Va.) iH'tcrnr. Tiik man whom the world has been looking for. that is to say, whom the majority of the people that inhabit it have been looking for during cen turies, nay. cycles of time, has ar rived at "least he savs he has. His I name is Bradford Peck and his mis j sion is abolish poverty. If he can do j this he will be hailed" as the greatest j benefactor of his race ever born since j the "morning stars tirst sang to I gether.' Newport News lkraUL Always on hand a fresh lot of Straight ! and Patent flour at LOWEST PRICES 1 at H. THOU AtiOKY BRYAN TO BECOnE EDITOR. What Hon. W. J. Bryan's future course will be has been settled. He will become editor and publisher of a weekly newspaper in his home town, Lincoln, Nebraska, the first issue of which will appear in January. In an interview given out December 15th Mr. Bryan said: I have for several years had in contemplation the establishment of a weekly newspaper and this seems an opportune time for undertaking it. Intending to devote my life to the study and discussion of p'ublic ques tions", I have chosen this method be cause it will best accomplish the pur pose which I have in view. Through such a paper I shall be able to keep in touch with social, economic and polit ical problems. The paper will at the same time, if successful, provide an income sufficient for my pecuniary needs, and this kind of work will al low me more time with my family than I have been able to enjoy for several years past. "I expect to lecture occasionally, especially in college towns where I can speak to students, but my prin cipal work will be done with the pen, or perhaps should say, with the pencil. "The paper will be called The. Com moner and will defend the principles set forth in the Kansas City platform. The first issue will appear in January. 1 shall be editor and publisher."' TRADE AT HOME. If there is any one thing the Gulp Lkak is noted for above all others it is urging home patronage and preach ing the gospel of hope. The way to build up a live town is to trade with home people. No town can be truly prosperous where the people do not stand by home enterprises. This by way of preface to the following from the Wilson Ncivs. Read Henderson instead of Wilson, and substitute the Gulp Lkak where Niws appears, and the article will apply with equal force for local purposes: There is a lot of money being spent now in Wilson, and our merchants are happy this week. It. should al ways be this way, for if our home peo ple do not patronize their home stores who will? This thing of sending oil for goods that can be bought in Wil son for just as little money is all wrong. If your merchant has not got what you want tell him and he will order it for you. Let him know how cheap you can get it elsewhere and he will sell to you equally as low. Pride of this kind in the prosperity of Wilson would work wonders, and while we are talking about this we urge our readers to consult the ad vertising columns of the Neirx, and see who the live merchants are. We advertise for the men who are suc ceeding here, and if you consult our columns you will lind it so. If a mer chant has goods for sale and never tells the people what he has to sell he need not expect to succeed. If he does, it is just sheer good luck and not because he is pushing his busi ness. The moral of this is two fold: 1st. To people who buy: Patron ize the home merchant. 2nd. To wide awake merchants: Advertise in the Xctcs. Among the tens of thousands who have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy fr c .ids and la grippe during the past few years, t-i iir knowledge, not a single case has resulted in pneumonia. '1'hos. Whit field iV Co., 2-10 Wabash Avenue, Chicago, one of the most prominent retail druggists in that city, in speaking of this, says: "We recommend Chamberlain's Cough Remedy fr la grippe in maty eases, as it not only gives prompt and complete recovery, hut also counteracts any tendency of la grippe to result in pneumonia." For sale at Mel ville Dorsey's Drug Store. SUPERINTENDENT flEBANE'S RE PORT. The Superintendent of Public In struction, Mr. C. II. Mebane, soon re tires from the otliee he has efficiently and, we believe, ably filled. He makes a report to the Legislature of immense length, easily eclipsing Mc Kinley's message. He makes a great many recommendations, some of which will probably be adopted. We trust the Legislature will not accept his suggestion to make a compulsory educational law. If it does we shall presently hear of a recommendation and law compelling all children be tween live and fifteen to go to church every Sunday and also to the Sabbath school. It will be fortunate if the denomination is not designated in the act. Paul Pry ism and Yankee Notions are sufficiently active now in North Carolina without the Legislature seek ing to strengthen their stakes and make Paternalism the chief factor henceforth in this once conservative State. North Carolina "plain people" have no relish for Connecticut "Blue Laws." and declaration as to home regulation by officious legislation. Mr. Mebane very properly, we may believe, recommends a general revis ion of the school law of the last Legis lature. Without a sound, judicious law there must be friction, neglect, inefficiency and poor results. We be lieve that in some twenty-live coun ties the common schools are regarded as unsatisfactory, even poor. Let all be done that is possible to make them good and useful. A strong committee should have charge, it strikes the Messenger. We may refer again to the suggestions of the retiring official. Wilmington Messtn'fcr. How to Cure the Croup. Mr. R. Gray, who lives near Armenia. Duchess county. N. Y.. says: "Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the best medicine I have ever used. It is a tine children's remedy for croup and never fails to cure." When given as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough has develop ed, it will prevent the attack. This should be borne in mind and a bottle of the Cough Remedy kept at hand ready for instant use a soon as these symptoms appear. For sale by Melville Dorsey. Druggist. N ATt'u.vLLY enough there is a good deal of complaint about the census re turns for a number of North Carolina cities and towns. Y'et, upon the whole, if the rejwrts for 1890 were ap proximately correct, we have done pretty well within the past ten years. Only one of the towns reported Hen derson shows a decrease in popula tion. Some have done wonderfully well. Greensboro. for instance, should he content; so should Gas tonia. Charlotte ought not complain in view of its increase of 50 per cent, and its position as second city in the State. It is to all intents and pur poses first, for in the population of Wilmington is enumerated a great troop of negroes. Charlotte Obsenvr. SERVES THE PEOPLE. VALUE OF THE LOCAL PAPER TO A COM MUNITY. Fills a Demand That Cannot be Sup plied in Any Other Way How the People Can Help it Alont Benefits of Advertising. Some time ago the editor of the Richmond (Ind.) Enterprise published an article in which are catalogued the services of the local paper, coupled with injunctions as to how to help the editor thereof in return for the paper's help. He says: "The paper has done 50 things for vou and is only aniious to do 50 more. It told your friends when your parents were married; it announced to the world when you were born. "It recorded the great events of your childhood when you were lost as a wandering baby, when you had the measles and scarlet fever, when you fell into the washtub and nearly drowned, when you fell from the cherry tree and broke your collar bone, when you first started to school and w hen you earned your tirst prize. "Later on it told how you had com pleted the studies of the district chool and how eloquently you re cited your graduating oration. "It told of your entering high school or academy. It told of your contests in baseball and tennis. It told of your departure for college or your lirst venture in business. "It told of your various visits back to the old home neighborhood, and it always wished you well in your great est undertaking. "It hinted modestly about the first time you went a-eourting and gave timely warning to 'her folks1 that the neighbors knew that matters were growing interesting over their way. "It announced the time of your ex pected wedding, and it published the notice of the marriage license and gave you a nice puff concerning the wedding ceremony. "It told of your extended honey moon tour and of your settling down to housekeeping. "When you were sick, the home paper week by week informed your more distant neighbors of your lapses and improvements. "It told about your lost cow and led to her recovery. It told how your horse had been stolen and led to the arrest of the thief. "When vou were rettinjr dull and tired through the monotony of your labor, the paper urged that the peo ple get up a celebration, and you were named as one of a suitable com mittee on arrangements. And when it was all over it gave you just praise for the success of the undertaking. "In numerous ways the paper has helped to put your name before the people, and you would never have had your lucrative office or your hon orable recognition from the commun ity but for the kind aid of the local printer. "If you are a member of a Sunday school or society of any sort, that same paper publishes, your announce ments and the various proceedings of your msetings. "It tells the people much which you would like to have knowni but which modesty or necessity prevents you from telling. "If you and all your folks have been prosperous and fortunate in your affairs, the paper has boosted you all the way. If you have had misfortune, the paper asked for sympathy in your behalf. "Thus the paper has rejoiced when you rejoiced and wept when you wept. If you are a good citizan, the paper will always be your friend and will back you in your enterprises and will help to lind you business friends. "It tells you where to buy and where to sell. It tells of rogues to be avoided. "It tells you of currant prices and prevents you from being cheated and swindled in a hundred ways. "Finally, when you die, the paper will publish your obituary ami will cover over your faults and will recite the story of your good deeds. "All these things the local editor will cause his paper to do, but no one else in the world will do them or can do them for you, even for love or money. The city paper will tell you of the world, but it won't tell the world about you or yours. The out side paper is a stranger to your little world and is not at all interested in its improvement. Y'et your local paper does all this free of cost to you if you are willing to receive it in that way. However, for your sake, we hope you are too generous to ac cept so many unrequited favors and that you are willing to reciprocate the same. "Help the editor. Be his friend, and he will prove his friendship to you. "Subscribe for his paper and pay for it regularly in advance and get your neighbors to do the same. "If you have anything to buy or sell, let the paper assist you to "find customers. Advertising benefits both advertisers and readers. "Send him the news. Give him a pointer occasionally or write him sen sible short articles, and don't get mad if he faiU to see everything vour way. When he does say a good thing tell him so. "In short, remember the golden rule, and don't forget the editor of your local poper." CURES BLOOD POISON. Scrofula, Ulcers, Old Sores, Bone Pains Trial Treatment .Free.

The recent fiendish negro lynch ings which have taken place North of Mason and Dixion's line hare at tracted the attention and excited the horror of law-abiding citizens. In the South, which is the home of the negro and where the white people are hia friends, there should be some movement to protect the negro from the bitter racial prejudice which ex ists among the white people of the North. Not long ago there was an organized negro hunt in New York upon small provocation. Innocent colored people were mobbed and beaten, although there was an ample police force present. Indeed, it was stated that the police joined in the mob and aided in clubbing and beat ing the unfortunate negroes, whose only offense was theircolor. A short time before that the anti-negro feel ing in the North broke out in the Carbondale coal region of Illinois, and the negroes were treated with great brutality. The only offense of which they had been guilty was their employment in the mines. A riot took place; many negroes were killed and the rest driven away. In the South the negro is permitted to en gage in any occupation he may see tit, but in the North for him to make his living as a skilled laborer is not tolerated. He can vote the Republi can ticket on election day, but there his privileges end. The most recent and dreadful ex hibitions of Northern intolerance of the negro took place in Colbrado and in Indiana. In both these States the lynchings were done openly, and it was boastingly said that the "best people" took "part in them. They were not masked, and it is perfectly well known, so it is declared, who the men are that were guilty of the horrible atrocities. The Colorado lynching was unique among lynch ings. The victim was captured and arrangements were made for his tak ing off with admirable decorum and order. Newspaper correspondents were invited and time was given to string wires and fix telegraph instru ments for their convenience. Then the shrieking negro was burned at the stake, with nothing omitted which could add to the horror of "the occas ion." And now comes the Indiana negro hunt and triple lynching with which the approach of the holiday season was celebrated in the Hoosier State. Two negro men who bad murdered a white barber were taken from the jail and hanged to a tree by unmasked men. The mob then went for a third negro, who was employed in a hotel, but were convinced by a man who had some sense of justice that this negro was innocent. But the thirst for negro blood had not been quenched by the two deaths on Sunday. On Monday the mob re-organized and "went'for" the third negro, who had been implicated in the crime by one of those first captured, and he was lynched. There is said to have been no attempt at concealment, and if this is true we shall see whether the lynchers are punished or whether lynching is upheld in Indiana by pub lic sentiment. All these lawless and murderous doings did not take place in some remote backwoods settlement in Arkansas, where the arm of the law is feeble and people are some times driven from the necessities of the case to take the law into their own hands. They took place in the centre of civilization in a Northern State, but a short distance from the State capital. It really does look as if there should be some organization in the South to protect the defenseless negro in the North from the ferocity of the white people. Baltimore Sun. THE SUPREME DUTY. "Whatever else you do or do not do for children, brethren, educate them. God has given me three sons, and I do not ex pect to leave them a home or money, but I do expect to give them an education. I never expect to live in a home of my own, but I am going to educate my boys. They are all godly young men. and if I stay out of the ground a few years longer they will be educated young men." Bishop Morrison at Methodist Conference in New Bern. Herein is summed up the supreme duty of parents, excepting of course the religious training of their chil dren. There has never been a time when education was not equivalent to sharp tools, but at no time in the his tory of the world has the necessity for education been so apparent as now. The competition is greater, the chances for building up an independ ent business are smaller, the combi nations of wealth are more powerful, and the young man who forges to the front needs to have the best tools well sharpened. Education of the right kind will alone furnish him this equipment. Therefore, the supreme duty of the parent is to give his chil dren the capacity to win in the stren uous competition that lies before thern. It would be a blessing to this Com monwealth if the wise and mighty words of the good bishop could im press every father and mother with the same ambition and purpose which the bishop says influences and con trols him in his thoughts about his children. Raleigh News and Observer. SAVE THE SEED CORN. There is a movement on in the State to induce the Legislature to take action relative to child labor in cotton and other mills. The Raleigh News and Observer published letters from several owners of cotton mills. It is a movement in behalf of human ity. President Davis in the great war said of the act calling out the "Junior Reserves" that it was like grinding the seed corn. A wise and timely view. What is it to put little children in the mills and work them either night or day? Is not that another instance of "grinding the seed corn?'1 The News and Observer remarks: '"Nowhere is there any disposition to enact legislation that will be hurtful to the cotton mill industry. The employ ment of young children in the mills is op posed by many mill men, and there is rea won to believe that a measure that will meet the approval of the mill owners, mill employes and the public can le en acted."
