There are lots of pi.-kan"nni-s 'rouml my old plantation home. Hut Alee, he belonged to me all alon He eould outrun all the otlieiH und he'd tiKlit and lie for me, And I loved that nifrirer boy I need to own.

Tin-hive was t rue and hoin-Ht of that hoy I use.l to own. We were playmateH all together, tho" I was kind of kiuK. I'.ut I never put myself to on a throne; And I told tales in the loffhonse ami I waded in the branch. With that little iiitfcr hoy I used no own. It's true we'd K't to titfhtin', and I'd lick 'in, if I could: Hut this waH rather neldoni. for they gener ally were fjood: i And I'll Hwnp 'em off my dinner for an ash- ' cn ke and a hone. And I'd take my midday repast with that boy I used to own. And then I jrrew up birer, and I used to ride to school, Througn meadows, where the rice and cane were ko 11: And he'd take my horse at even, and he'd love to s"e me come. That happy, sniiliu' hoy I used to own. Hut my f.'lioolin' wasn't finished, for before I w as si I eeii . The trumpet call of war was loudly blown: And I volunteered my service and I hastened to t he front , nd was followed hy that hoy I used toown. He would C''t scared in hat tie, ami. dam 'im, how he'd run! Hut he'd always find the comp'ny when the soldiers' work was done; And he'd iiteal frond rationsfor ine. tho'from whence I've never known, And I've oft been saved my supper by that hoy I used to own. The war was Iouk and hitter, hut his ardor never Hajred; He kept the oat ll to follow me he'd Htvorn: An' when it was a II over I brought him home aain. That shiny, rimiiin' boy I used toown. He would lie "bout the ha 1 1 les. an' he swo' he'd foujfht 'em all: He said he'd killed some sixteen men, he knew , he'd si-en m fall: Hut he took afatal fever, alii' lino skill eould check nor tone. And 1 nursed him like a brother then, that hoy I used to own. Hut soon it was nil .ner. and we laid him in hiii jrrave. No truer friend I ever hail to mourn: And I raised a granite monument to mark the place we laid That loving, faithful boy I used to own. He had his small shortcomings, and they may be counted sin: Hut Saint I'eter knows a liijrRer, and he'll make excuse for him! And if. in !od's great goodness, I shall view sweet heuveu's t broiie. I know I'll sip that smiling face, that boy I used to own. I have met a heap ' people, and I've had a heap o" chums tiood fellows, just as flood as ever known! Hut I've never seen a better, nor a truer, kinder friend Than that little ni,ire;er hsy I used to own. His hide was black aschan oal, ami hisheart was just as warm: He wa'n't n great philosopher, but he never thought no harm: And tho' to flatter childhood mankind is aw ful prone, I love the recollections of that boy I used to own.

There' re no people in the world more depressing and disheartening than those who are always imagining that they see some shadow ofcomingevil. The world is sombre enough even at the best, and it is scarcely worth while to conjure up purely imaginary shadows. If we would be calm and strong we must live in the hour and not straiu out to meet the future. It is a good plan to say: "1 will live by the hour today. 1 will postpone for an hour all thoughts of weak ness." Then when the hour is up it is easy to extend it to another hour. and so on, and the result will be that by and by one can have a whole day of real usefulness and strength. .4 There are many kidney remedies but few that accomplish the result, "rinules" is a Vidney remedy that contains no alcohol or opiates of any kind, complies with the Xa tional Pure Food and Drug Law,guaranteed to give satisfaction.

Pence, t lie Washing ton correspondent of the Raleigh Sews and Observer, writes his paper as followers: The provision in the legislative and executive bill containing the ap propriation for in vestigatingand ex ploiting the cotton goods trade in the foreign markets of the world has been approved by the conferees of botli Houses.

We are at least no longer in doubt is to what became of the populist arty in this State. Of course there is not a fifth dis trict combine and by the same token there are no trusts. If Mr. .Justice wants to keep his skirts clean he should not next time break bread wifh the lobbyists. Now the Legislature has adjourned we suppose all hands are at liberty to say what they please about it. The people can usually be trusted but the trouble is that the people are not onto the game being worked. As Mr. Justice has already served notice on those who are to be read out tliev should know what to look for. Thev niav have to select a candi date from the fifth district to keep the East and West from falling out about il . You fellows had better shut up about reading anybody out of the party until you find out, lust where .you are at. Before committing yourself to the government ownership plan you might first find out what the rate is going to 1". It may be that, there was nothing in those charges but you will have to adn.it that there were suspicious circumstances. Mr. Kitchin canifot claim that the party owes it to him, still if he can win out we Jure not the one to say that he is not entitled to it. The chances are that Mr. Justice said what was in his mind to say, but afterwards concluded that it was not the proper thing to do. Mr. Justice's friends think that he came away from Raleigh a big man, but this does not mean" that he will be able to get what lie wants. It remained for the Senate to show that Mr. Daniels did not have the party in this State by the nape' of the neckJtnd the seat of the pants. If the A'eivs and Observer did not inlluence the legislature and the legislative committees it was not be cause it did not try hard enough. Mr. Page did no wrong in invest ing his money in railroads but he committed a grievous fault in dis agreeing with the powers that be. For some reason or other the Legislature failed to pass a law pre venting the Raleigh street car line from doubling its rates during fair week. You fellows who are claiming that Mr. Rutlcr carried the populist par ty, bag and baggage, into the Re publican camp, know better than that. Ia view of the opinion expressed by that Virginia judge we naturally wonder what he would have done in case the jury had found the Strother brothers guilty. Y'ou fellows who propose to read the riot act to the next State con vention had best make certain be fore hand that you are going to get what you want. And still there is no hope in it for the uepubheans. If the party in this State ever amounts to anything those now in control will not be al lowed to run it. There may be a fifth district com bine but from the wav the other o-en tlemen are announcing themselves it is evident that thev do not think it amounts to much. The radicals now propose to an peal to the people but the people may remember there were some things that they are not willing to leave to the people. We do not know that there will be a split in the party, yet it is our opinion that a large -majority of the party will refuse to be bossed in the future as it has been heretofore. - The dilemma in which Mr.Simrraon and Mr. Durham' found themselves' shows that it is not always safe to print things that appear tobeva maruroi common fcuowtedge on th streets. '"' ; It may be that the Xews and Ob- eerrer aiu not mtluence tm onx mittee but if the committor hnd .asked lor and acted on the nrl vlco that paper it would not have acted 1 uinerentiv. - - r - - air. justice may ue honest and may be in earnest, but the officer of a body who will so far fo get what is exneeted of him n to rise'ub and denounce the memlw of that body is not a safe man to trust. abAjgaaoBHBBBBaKiczsEx For Twenty-one Years .Bonanza, Orlinioco 221 Farmer's TRADE HARK 9 REGISTERED F. & ROYSTER GUANO CO., Norfolk, Va. have bf"n the standard Cotton and Tobaco guanos in the South because great care is used in the selection of materials.

It was said in theeditorialcoluuuiR of this jmjwr on tl. 21st of Janu ary that it takes some time for a Legislature to tind i tsjl; that in the body then sitting at Raleigh were a number of wild-eyed men with wild ideas, but that it is the history of such bod-es that they become more conservative toward the close or when the actual enactment of impor tant legislation begins. The statement and forecast have i been amply justified by the Legisla ture just adjourned. A number of propositons advanced at the outset and which seem to fled favor, were alarming,and it was with good reason 1 saidthatthis Legislature was a men ace to the State. Happily, under reflection and consideration, more sober counsel prevailed. Theextreme ly radical measures .were put to sleep, and. regarded by and large, it can be said that the srvneral rsults were rather good than had no thanks to the radicals who persisted in their malevolent purposes lo the last. We shall never think that the rail road passenger rate was fairly ad justed. It is not wrorth while to dis cuss the subject now further than to say that a fare of 2 1-2 cents on the main lines would be low enough, with the right left the small road to charge three cents, and that the abol ishment of second-class fares was a mistake. It is not now nor any time claimed that our own people are en titled to exemption from burdens laid upon aliens who have money invest ed in the State, but of itself it is not fair that the Aberdeen & Ashboro Railroad, running through a poor and sparcely settled country, should be put upon the same basis with the Atlantic & North Carolina, the Nor folk & Southern and Norfolk Wes tern, all of them longer lines two of them running through developed and rich truck-growing sections and the third a part of and one of the great est coal carrying systems of the coun try. It is an incident that the Ash boro & Aberdeen Railroad was built a n"d is owned by North Coroliuiaus while the others are owned and con troled by outsiders, but the fact does not modify thecrueltv of the wrong. In reference the general rate of 2 1-4 cents fixed upon, it is to be said that it is not wholly bad in the view that all the important legislation of the world results from compromise and that 2 1-4 cents is better than the 2 cent rate which was so strongly con tested for. How the railroads can be expected, however, to respond to the universal demand for enlarged and better service with their past earnings so materially reduced, is a question for those who favored re duction to answer. If thev take off trains which are already being oner ated af a loss they should not be blamed, and finally, under this head, the individual or company which will now embark upon the building of a new railroad in North Carolina is a fool. As some compensation to the railroads for the loss inflicted by the reduction of passenger rates, there is a modification of the outra geous penalty law, and as a large compensation to the public for the flat rate and poorer passenger serv ice certain to ensue, there is to be, what is the thing important in this connection, a substantial reduction of inter-State freight rates. The power of the corporation com mission were wisely enlarged. Why the fixing of passneger rates on the small feeble roads, and the adjust ment of freight rates were not refer red to it, we do not understand. I is composed, in the Observer's judg ment, of able and incorruptible men but if the commissioners are not equal Jto their responsibilities they should be bowed out and replaced by men who are. Returning, however: We have pass ed almost the only criticism we have to make upon the work of the Genera Assembly. Its bark was teirifying its bite does not hurt. In its legisla tion upon liquor it was smilingly in consitent, drying up the community where the peopele had voted for li cense, letting down the gap in that one when the Watts law had obtain ed, according the right to vote whei in corresponding cases it had been denied, and disobedient to petitions when in corresponding cases they had controlled its action. I,oca self-government was not in the mind of the legislators as a principle to be observed or defied, but what mos Democrats regard as a thing fun damental, by it as a thing to be pla3-ed with, regarded or not accord ing to the locality dealt with or wha might happen to be the view of th person representing it. This General Assembly was not afraid to spend the money of tl. dear people. That goes to its credit It was mindful of the great intrest of North Carolina and went far to advance the welfare of the institution some of which are the State's glory, for all of which it is responsible Not a dollar of this money will be misspent and for the liberality and discriminating judgment with whic it is to be expended the people have primarily to thank those wise an thinking men, Senator Neill Archie McLean, the chairman of the Senat committee on appropriations, ant Representative J. R. Gordon, chair man of the like committee of the House good citizens both are. To repeat what has been said in previous issues, the people of North Carolina will never cease to remem ber this Legislature with gratitude for what it has done for their insane people, and. concluding, there is more on the credit side of its account than the debtor.
