ME ILIHOILM 43UIIIEIK. For tbe CouuiEii. The Stu ol Our t'ou 11 1 r j. JMCau Kditou : Whatever inli' delity miy hv or pretend to believe to the contrary, tlieio are urulerlj -iuk reasons for every de raugement of natural laws in our world. The God of the liible i the God of Nature ; and the physical laws which he ha ordained for the regolation ol the season were the outgutjhiugs of his benevolence for! man's happiness, fully as much as a divine revelation was intended to put him back in possession ol the last imae of his maker. linth de itaittrients were intended for nnii incM'ut and eternal uood. If, then theie is a naming violation of phy - j fiical law, there must be a moral tea- sou, as both systems of these laws are based upou a high mora d inten- i tion. Dunne the jiast week, old Dame Nature has made some great ami serious blunders. The z-.'phyih of a lew days f.uined the veetablt world with sweeL caresses, inviting the shrubbery and vegetable king doms to Hinile and spaikle iu the genial sunlight with aromatic aroma: and iu the iy height of their floral Hweetness, lie changed her tactic? and locked all these beauties m the crystals of death! Why, O, why was this ? When Nature had pre- pared enr fruit trees to supply our , - .. ... tables in the summer and tall win ; delicious food, why did she mock ' our anticipated gladness with sue a sad disappointment? All may read the moral reason n. that system of legislation wine!, authorizes and licenses our fellov citizens to manufacture the fruits oi our count ry into destr uetiv poison?, and offers to ell them to th silM ones ot our homes and household?. The talent ts abused, and God send-: his physical .sliei ill's to destroy tie source of hum in distinction. And I declare to you today that, if men do not suppress the distilla tion of corn, rye and barley into w hiskey, our support from these ce reals will be much shortened iu the coming future. O, will not Christian men am. politicians open their eyes io thesr great moral troths till God shall write "Ichabod" upon all our a(?. parted glories ? Cyclones, torna- ; does, earthquakes, "La Grippe' and all the hosts of other ev.ls that! ,wmvnnr,rt!,i, n.a .iM,,,. ' ordered or permitted ot God. They ! come not by chance. They are me. der control of His Almighty hand. Christians, patriots, philanthrop- I ists, AKISE in your manhood and i put this evil down. Amen. 11 JL. AltEENETHY. Tho Dcrirailoii of "America " For the Courier. iMR. Editor : Apropos to the interesting seues of letters in the Courier on the origin ot Carolina's name, I enclose for publication a clipping from the last, number of the Xorth Carolina Ttachtr, entitled, The Perivntion of ''America," As not only our own county, but the entire world, is interested in the Co lumbian Exposition to be held a Chicago, and to be opened during the piesent ear, commemorating the four hundredth anniversary ot the discovery of this continent, whatever tends to throw light on the name given it, will be perused with iiiterent. A. N. 4'In a paper read In-fore th Soci ety ot 'Americatiistas," in Paii.-, on October lf, 1M)0, entitled 'A phil otogical Study ot the Oiim ot th Name America," Kitshop Carnllo, o! Yucatan, a well known author oti American linguistic matters, main tained that when Cottez landed on the coast of Yucatan, and on what is now known as the Mosquito Coast, the whole eountiy wa po-s sensed by the Aztecs, and was known by them aa Am -eli-ka, which m tb' Aztec tongue meant "The Windy Country, or the Country of High Winds.' This name of "Am-eli ka'' wp easily corrupted in pronunciation into "America'' 'y the old Spaniards. To Iialiaii geugraptier, Alheric Yes pucci, prefixed it in place of the name bv which he had been ehns tened, and became known as Anier- icus (Amerigo) Vespucius in tbe same manner us the distinguished English geographer Gordon had prefixed ' Chines:" to his name, anc became known to the world as Chi netH Gordon.

The Courier's attention has been directed to the following 1 which appeared a few v?f?eks ago in the Atlanta Constitution and which will bes interesting news to the readers of this county : A momentary ripple of excitement relieved the tedium of the court proceedings yesterday. When Mr. J. D. McY hotter de clared hi belief that detective busi ness was a fraud, Detective Shacks el ford was ou his feet iu an instant, his face flushed with anger, ''May it please your honor, I a&k the court to protect me from each insultR," said ho. "Sit down, Mr. Shackleford." said Judge Clark, qniotly, and the den tective obeyed, but he showed plain -1 ly that he was boiling ovur with in- donation, when he moved his seat closer to the place irom wn.cn mt. i McWhorter was addressing the jury j ttie gentlemen ou trie oar tuougui there might be a collision. There j Mr. M. J. liattie, in his communi was none, however, and Mr. Mc- ' cation to the Southerner of the 5th Whorter continued his argument, j inst., states that "in no particular The case illustrates the expense Mops the Sr. Louis platform differ of finding unknown criminals, The ! from the Ocala platform," and fur- facts, as brought about by testimo ny, seem to be about as follows: Mr. W. T. Massey, ot Lincoln ton, X. C, owned at that place the Hack et btore, which was burned about two years ago. Anxious to biieg the incendiaries to justice, he em ployed Richmond detictives and spent $120 in a search for the crim inals There was no result, and M..

Under tins contract Mr, shackle j iord teiit Detective Wdsou to Lin. ; coin ton to win k the case. Detec- j live Wilson presented the bill for. 3l0() in advance, and Mr. Massey ' paid it, Wilson then remained J about three nays in Lineolnton and I returned to Atlanta Mr. Massey i . . . , j was mformed that there was more iu the case than Mr. Shackleford thou.-ht when he made the agree- merit to work it for 200, and an- other hundred was demanded. Upon this Mr. Massey brought 3U,t ,ul lMO uo j ld, and Mi, J. L, McWhorter was representing him in the trial when ! made the caustic comment on the detective business.

I He Charlie Ko. St. Louis. April 7, There is a young man aged twenty-three years working ou the farm of H. G, Sparks, of Denton, Mo., whom Mr. Sparks believes to be Charlio Uoss, who was stolen from his home in German town, Philadelphia, on July 1, 1874. About four months ago he applied to Mr. Sparks for woik, and he has worked steadily ever since. lie says he remembers that when he was a little boy he was driven ;.way in a wagon by some men. For t-ome time he was secreted in ob scure places and closely watched,PO that uo one saw him except men who he snpposed to be criminals. After a time these men disappeared.

To the Editor of the Tarboro Southerner. toer asks "if Eiias Carr will repudi ate his own handiwork?" 1 simply desire to call Mr. B.'s attention to two planks from each platform as paralleled below : Ocala, 1800. St. Louis, 1892. 1 (a), "mat our National legislation shall be o trained in future as not to build up one industry at the expense ol an uiiivr. other. 1.

These (Ocala) demands were sub sequent Jy engrafted into the State Democratic platlorm and later re- euacted at Indianapolis. I had the """T ' Ocala that formulated them, reporti unanimously upon these two P,ank8: As yet 1 have seen uo an thont or reH80n eliminating these planks from the Alliance plat. form, while on the contrary abund ant reason for not endorsing a par ty which is putting the Alliance in an inconsistent and false attitude by demanding ownership after se curing national and State governs mental control of railroads and com pletely ignoring the tariff question, that most irnpoitaut of all reform measures, the present status of which makes possible all trusts and combines that enrich the few and impoverish the many.

Conservatism is needed in our couueils this year. Extreme men will want Things their way. Then mof. fair-minded and conservative ! of our citizens are always tbe last j to show t heir hand and make a I stand for prudence. There is need I that, all tliHso men show their wills j in tin primaries soon to meet. A largo number of our citizens belong o the Alliance and .'or three or four years have been educated in i he r.udh direction. They are further along iu the bjok than those who have, not yet beeu permitted to join and we fear that in their zeal they will leave us far behind. In our hearts we wh to do :tnd to vote for what, is best for the far mer. It he has needed mouey, it baa he-n worse with those who had j no corn, no meat, no cotton, no laud, ;iud no money. To tht class we , , , M " v ie,ouP-.ad knowin 'J !T th did j not honestly tbink would hi in us all not only the tarmer but all ot ; us sure financial reieif. But we cannot accept the St. Louis p'at- j form. The Alliance was horn of the people. The St. Louis platform was not burn of the people. It was born cf some other source and sent ; J oat to the people for endorsement. ! Tune was when the ppople made tneir demand;. Now the demands ' are made at head. quarters and word ! la sent out "that you most endorse them and under no condition must there be any breaking downl" "We say to every citizen keep off the St. Louis platform. Every en dorsement of that platform is an j endorsement of the third party. There can bo no two ways about that. It is painfol to us to see one or two of our county alliances pledging themselves to support no man for office who does not stand on the St, Louis platform. Wo Uo not see bow this course can in anywise better the sitnation. The Republican party will not endorse the tit- Lonis platform, the Democrats outside of the Alliance will not endorse it, and many men inside the Alliance will not endorse it. Those remaining cannot carry their platform into ef fect, but in their effort to do so may bring repnblican role and rain to our State and her noble people. The very best advice we know how to give at this present crisis, wo give to every citizen cf our county and State : Keep off the St, Louis platform Gastonia Ga zette.
