LINOOLNTON, H. C, JAN. 1, 1891
AXSOUSCEMENT FOR 1892.
We are into the news-paper now,
as heretofore in earnest. All we
want is the ueceasary support. This
we hope to merit and to get. There
are many citizens of Lincoln coon j
who do not take the county par; r,
but who oaght to do so. We desire
to reach all such. Any effort made
on the part of friends to the Cou
rier to get their neighbors to sub
scribe will be greatly appreciated.
. NOW FOR THE TENDER POINT :
We know something of the scarcity,
of money. We feel it every hour of
the day. We feel it in our purse.
Ho one realizea it more that the ed
itor of the country newspaper. We
Lave, therefore, decided to adopt
the one dollar cash system for
1892. In order to be able to afford
this we must greatly iucrease our
circulation.
We must have cash in advance.
Those who get the paper on time
mast pay the regular pries of $L50
per year.
Those who do not pay cash, bat
pay in trade will receive the paper
foc.the.old price of $1.50.
Those who are no subscribers
nfuat pay up back subscriptions and
p y $1.00 in addition in order to get
advantage of this offer.
This reduction to 81.00 a year will
last on'y during the months of Jan
uary and February. After that
time we will go back to the old
price.
This is campaign year and those
vho want the Courier had better
;ay up and taKe advantage of the
1.00 proposition at once.
'C Those who have already paid be
jond the first of March can get the
Courier a year from the time paid
uj tj by giving us $1 00.
Remember you must pay np to
thJ.p.resentat .the rates of. S1.50 and
th m add 1.00 for another year in
ot ter to. get advantage of the above
reduction.
ow we think the foregoing ex
pl&n&tlon&are .der, . Please read
them caretully aud do not ask us to
do some oiher i?ay. than we have
proposed.
The Courier promises to be
wuat the people make it. If it is
well fed it will be lively and heaity;
if'it is allowed to get . hungry it can
not do the work it desires to do-
. Let evtrv body co-operate and it
i
will accom lish much. J
A. Change In Phraseology
At the recent meeting of the Nai
tional Alliance at Indianapolis, a
verbal change was,made in the siib-
trpasiirtr drmand. It was decided
rn 1-h.ncre tha word "lend" to ;
sue" and the word interest" to
'ax," making the sub-treapu y de
mand now read :
We demand that the goveiuraeiit
Bhall establish sab-treasuries or dtN
po3itoiies iu the several State?,
which shall isue money direct to
the people at a low rate of tax, not
to exceed 2 per cent, per annum, on
non.perisbsbla farm products, and
also opo:i real estate, wiih proper
limitations upon the quantity of land
and amount of money.
The National Economist thinks
"de demand is greatly improved by
the change be cause it now conforms
to the principle taught in the sub
treasury plan. The money is not to
te loaned to the people, but issue
to them in the place of the wealth
ey depo.-if, and they a rot
charged interest but pay a tax to
cover the cost of so issuing it.''
State Chronicle. '
The Reeley Treatment tor
DrnnkarilH,
The followiog is an extract taken
from a correspondence to the State
Chronicle ol receut date :
Dr. Ceeley first proves beyond a
doobt that whiskey drinking and
the morphine and opium habit be
comes a disease and must be treat
ed. The result of the doctor's long
and deep research is the prepara
tion of his remedy known as double
chioride of geld. He first began to
xperiment with it as a surgeon in
t :e late war and for the last twelve
years 95 per ceDt. of the cases fol
lowing the Keeley treatment have
been cured. Dr. Theodore Cayler,
the noted divine, in advocating ab
stinence in a recent letter eays that
he had found as many as seventeen
lapses among the 15,000 cured dur
jng the twelve years.
All that is required of these who
! come here 13 to submit to the treat
raent for three weeks aud until dis
charged by the physician. The
treatment is not at all unpleasant,
end there is absolutely no danger in
taking it.
After going through a course of
treatment and getting your entire
system thoroughly cleansed, you
don't want or have any desire to
renew your acquaintance with your
old enemy. The sight or scent of
him becomes obnoxious to you.' Now
why do I say this f "Why, because
parties who have taken this treat
ment and are at the institute told
cae so, and they have given me the
liberty to use their names. Mr.
3eott Brown, a former hotel clerk
at Ealeigb, Salisbury and other
places, came here November 9th.
He says he feels like a new man
and believes he is entirely enrtd
aad never again expects to
want
whiskey. Mr. J. G. Finley, of
Wilkesboro, told me that when he
eame hear he was drinking as much
us a quart of corn whiskey per day,
i.hat now he feels like a new man
and don't want anything intoxicate
ing. Mr. J. B, Ramsaur, trom Lins
coin ton, N. C, says he don't want
any more of the stuff. In addition
to the above I have before me right
now strong letters from Dr. L N
Oarr, of Tarboro, and Col. Thad
Coleman from Weaversville, N. C
Iu their letters these gentlemen
ive full permission to use what
;hey say for the benefit of the pub
lic. In Dr. Carr's letter of Nov.
10th 1891 to Dr. Palmer he says: I
bave talked with men at D wight,
III., who has been cured 10 years,
y Dr. Keeley, and from that day to
nhls they assure me that they have
never had the slightest desire or
appetite for anything intoxicating,
and after hearing them 1 have asked
o d residents of the town, who have
Hatched these men as my friends
naturally watch me now, and to a
man tbey tell me that their state
ments are thoroughly correct so far
as drinking is concerned ; some of
l hose men were common drunkards
abd have been for years.

church investigation of Rev. Aber

suspension from the ministry until
he is tried at the next anuual con

signify that Abernethy is guilty of

ISlsliop LymanX 50 Years a
a Priest.
Raleigh, Dec. 19. The semi
centennial services in commemora
tion of the ordination to the priest-
hood of Bishop Lyman began here;
fo-day in the Church of the Good
Shepherd. There is a large nu .l erj
of visiting clergy and laity hire. Tbj
Bishop delivered a most interesting;
address covering the half century of
hi miuktry.
If membership in the Allianl
does not interfere with a man's poN j
tics or religion how is it that the
so-called "Reform Press" feels at
liberty to bully CongressmenBrancb,
Grady, Williams and Alexander for
having gone into the Democratic
caucus and voted for Crisp for
Speaker T
If membership in the Alliance
does not interfere with a man's pol
ities or religion bow was it that Mr,
J, S. Bell did not feel at liberty, on
account of bis position as State lec
turer, to sign the Democratic ad
dress f StatesvUle Landmark.
He Couldn't Tell ft X.ie,
My mother used to bid me "Al
ways tell the truth, darling." My
father ''Whatever happens, tell
the truth, my boy." And my nuiae
a?ed to say, "Always tell the truth,
Master Tommy, or the Bog?e Man
will have you 1"
I faithfully did as I was told,with
the result that 1 was a miserable
child, a more miserable youth and
am now a most miserable man,
Cook bad a soldier to tea one
evening, and I happened to see him.
Said cook, "Master Tommy, if your
ma asks you if there's any one in
the kitchen say there's ooly nurse
an me " The nurse told me the
same, k'ssed me and gave me a
piece of cake.
I mechanically took the cake, but
my little mind was troubled and
puzzled.
I went op stairs, pondering deep
ly. The first thing my mother said
to me was :
"Is there a man in the kitchen,
darling? I fancy I heard a man's
voice."
My truthful nature
serted itself.
at once as-
'Yee, ma, there's
mtk thavo o man
dressed
in a red coat, with a hat on one ear,
and I'm not going to eat this cake,''
I said, flinging It down on the table.
"And I wish you'd wash my face,
ma, cause nurse gave me two
naughty kisses there."
My mother called me a good boy,
said I was quite right not to eat the
cake, and gave it to the dog. Both
the nurse and the cook slapped and
pinched me the 'next time they got
hold of me.
Ever after I was hated by the
servants ; they called me a "spy"
and a "lying little imp !'?
Not only was 1 incapable of tell,
ing a lie, but 1 couldn't bear to hear
other people do so.
One day 1 heard my mother say,
"I do hope that horrid Mre, Jones
wjn't come today P
About halt an hour afterward j
Mrs. Jones arrived.
"Ob, I am so glad to see you, my
dear Mrs. Jones ! I was hoping
you'd come," my mother exclaimed
, ffusivelv.
'Ma," I said gravely, "if you tell
ies the Bogie Man will have you.
Iurse ays so."
Mr.. Jones looked very peculiar,
and my mother took me out of the
100m -and there and then adminis
tered a sound whipping,'
There was a rich old maiden lady
vho had taken a great fancy to me,
;tud it was an open secret that she
jag going to leave me her wealth
Somehow or other I couldn't beat
tbis old lady, she was so ugly and
fcour tempered. To my great horror
he would always make me sit on
her lap and put my- arms 'around
her neck:
"Do you love me, my own little
Tommy ?" she asked me- one day,
drawing my cheek to heis. .
"No, I don't," I answered with a
fchud'ter. ;
"WbatJ" sha shrieked. "Whj
not, you naughty boy ?"
"Mast I tell you ?'-' I asked plain
tively. "Of course.''
"Brcaufe you're so ugly aud
cross V v.
She put me down without sajing
a work to me, but she alter ward!
told my parents that I ought to hi
put in a reformatory or I would
come to the gallows, and that not
a penny of her moner should I have.
- My father was furious. He thrash
ed me and said I was growing up a
perfect fool, and my mother called
me a "nuisance" and gave me a
powder.
I was hated at school on account
of my truthfulness, - which earned
for me the unenviable sobriquet of
"Sneaky."
