If Major Stedman wants to succeed
himself next time be has put some of
the newspaper boys where they can
hardly work against him.-'Durham
Herrald.
Yes sir, and he has put some
of the boys where they wHl not
wast much time lauding the
Major* and they can do it too
without showing any want of
gratitude. Among them we
might mention our friend Crow-
son of Burlington. Crowson was
a strong Stedman man. He
worked for him early, and late
in season, and out of season, but
when it came time to dispense
the loaves and fishes Mr. Sted
man did not know Crowson,
Crowson was not of the right
religious faith, and he went
down with the bunch that will
remember the “labor lost'^
I Equally untenable is the view that
the proposed reductions of the existing
schedules will not afifect any class of
business, Certainly no utterance of
President Wilsm or of Mr. Underwood
or any other democratic leader furnishes
groond for the shadow of a belief that
such is the object of the democratic
poogntn or will be the result of its
a^ctuation. The chief occasion of
the eoatemplated revision is the fact
that ocartai^ classas of 'American
industries are usinj? the measure of
protection against foreign competition
afforded them by the exiting schedules
to monopolize the domestic market
and extortion upon the great body of
American conaumers for their own
private aggrandizement. The chief
purpose of it is to remove the opportu
nity for such degalized robbery of the
many for the benefit of the few by
reducing the tariff duties to what Mr.
Underwood has very aptly termed a
“competitive level.’* Manifestly this
object can be accomplished only bj
disturbing the classes of busaness con
cerned to the extent desired; and
equally manifest is it that if such bus
iness is not disturbed to the extent
proposed, the revision contemplated
will have failed of its: purpose. This
ought to be so plain that he who runs
may read.
As to the general business of tie
countrf, that, if and where affected at
all, will be affected for the better;
while the particular business in ques
tion—^that is, the owners and opera
tors of the higely protected indus
tries—will be disturbed only to the ex
tent of being daprived of tnat to which
they never had any equitabls entitle
ment. The fifteen hundred million
dollars a year i«vhich the proposed
revision is expected to save will in
no sense be lost to the country. It
will simplv be kept in the pockets of
the consumers, instead of going, as
now, to swell the profits of a mere
handful of privileged interests to a
pmnt far above the level of reason
ableness. In other words, the benefits
no^ monopolized by the few will be
diffused among and shared by the many.
That's all.—Va. Pilot.

HITTING BELOW THE BELT.
We do not think it fair or just
to call 0. F. Crowson Editor of
the Burlington News a profes>
sional job hunter as some Editors
have done. If lis efforts to
secure the Post Office at Burling
ton, and his successfully landmg
a job under Senator Overman, is
the only charge you have against
him, it is too small to count. We
can point out a large number of
prominent North Carolinians
who have been cryinj^ all their
lives, anything for a political
job. It is hitting Crowson below

Tariff Reduction and Busi
ness.
The views exprei*sed ae to the effects
of tariff reduction upon the geneial
business of the county vary as widely
aa do opinions as to how far the re
ductions themselves should go. On the
one hand, we find the champions of
Protection predicting that a change
from the protective to the revenue
policy of levying impost duties spells
roin and disaster, that the result will
be to inundate tbe countrv with the
products of cheap foreign labor and so
to produce general industrial stagna
tion and paralysis. On the other hand,
some of tile less well informed advo
cates of a tariff laid with a view to
bringing in the maximum on revenue,
while furnishing a minimum of pro.
tection, declare that the inauguration
of snch a policy would not injuriously
affect any kind of business, to any de
gree. Both these views are those of
eqtremists and neither rests upon any
solid foundation.
Without entering Into any detailed
discussiH: of the relation betwe3n
wages and the Tariff, it is worth while
to note the fact that official investiga*
tion has shown that the lowest paid
labor in the United States is that em
ployed by the industries enjoying the
highest rate of tariff protection and
reaping the greatest percentage of
profit on their products. It is also and
no less notewoithy that these self-
svne industries are selling a consid
erable proportion of their outputs
abroad, under conditions of absolute
Iree trade, in open competition with
the products of *'cheap foreign labor’’
and with the cost of ocean transpor-
tatiwi and insurance against them.
These two facts of themselves effectu
ally dispose of all grounds of appre
hension that reduced duties will re
sult either in foreign inundation of
the domestic market or in lowerii^
below a reasonable basis the net earn
ing of any American industry now
enjoying an inordinate measure of
tariff protection or in iieceisarUy cur
tailing, to any degree, the output of
•ny such industry.
There roses are blooming and never the
rue;
There sunbeams are merry and gay
warblers throng.

The home of contentment,unshadowed *
by care
You never can find—so the dreamers
say-
For its starts in a spot you never know

But though w i can never that hidden
path fird.
Or anchor out bark on the silvery
sands.
We can follow the way that a pilgrim
divined
Would make of those far away, very
near lands.
All you need is a compass of love and
good cheer,
A wallet of kindness for others to
share,
A strong staff of faith, and some happy
year
You’ll pass through time’s gate, and
lo—you are there.

R.L, BONNEL Pro,
Kill The Fly
To kill the fly,
with all his Kith
to exterminate him
and kin, is every
body’s business, and for this reason it
seems to be nobody’s business, if we
guage the amount of interest taken
by the general public in the anti-fly
movement. Yet the appeal to public
energy against the disease spreader is
one that calls for no great amount of
physical exertion; indeed, fly Killing
can be regarded as a pastime if in
dulged in along common sense lines.
Prom the standpoint of economy it
may be argued that the wholesale
slaughter of flies saves many doctors’
bills, and this is a statement that the
highest medical authorities will sup
port. According to The Wilmington
Star, now is the accepted time for ex
tensive operations against the fly. It
says.—Raleigh Times.
“If existing laivs were enforced, all
our large cities would be as free from
flies in summer as they are in winter.
If the farmer—who is often the keep
er of a summer boarding house—
were to take half the precaution witn
his manure heaps that he does to se
cure boarders from the city, his ve
randa, his table and his living rooms
would not be infested with a perpet
ual fly plague. Lime, properly dis
tributed and frequently applied to.; a
stable pile, will not only destroy fly
larvae, but it will add to the value of
the compost as a fertilizer. If the
people who manage stables in the cit
ies and farmers who save stable fer-
Utizer were to take proper precaution,
the biggest breeding places of flies
would be destroyed.

New Discovery is the best throat and
lung medicine I sell. It cured my wife j
of a severe bronchial cold after all
other remedies failed. ” It will do the
same for you if you are suffering with

SPRIK6S BULLOCK, N; G. HENDERSON, N. G.,
SoBSGiilBE FOR TIE MEBANE LEADER.
Writers of the Nineteenth Century |
Responsible for Valuable Addi- |
tion to Literature.
Children were only found yesterday.
Before the nineteenth century tbe
child mind and the child heart "were
not supposed to have enough in them
to interest the majestjc adult. It is
true that you find a delightful baby
;n Homer; that in Vergil there is the
prettiest glimpse of a little girl, and
L’.p and down in the classics you may
meet half a dozen other pleasant
shadows of children. But they are
only shadows, only at the most charm
ing pictures. They give you as much
3S if they were painting or sculpture—
for in children’s bodies art has al-
,vays had interest enough—only what
^ child looks like, the pretty weak-
■less, the instinct for play, the native
gesture and movement. Not till the
return to nature,” not till the spirit
of romance moved on the waters at
ihe end of the eighteenth century, do
you find poets beginning to tell of the
hought and faith in a child’s mind,
"he mysteries of the child’s heart, the
ancies that are dreams and the fan-
:ies that are visions. You may think
hat they have gone too far, that they
' ead into • childhood the laborious
ohilosophizing and sometimes the la
bored sentimentalitj' of the adult. But
no one who loves children will deny
hat the best of the children in nine-
I’onth century books have a far richer
•eality, a far fuller life than any that
vere born in earlier words. And some
•f the best are in Dickens.
Ambassador’s Privileges.
An accredited ambassador is wholly
free from th6 jurisdiction of the courts
of law or of any other authority in the
country to which he is sent. His house
Is as sacred as his person. It is re
garded not as belonging to the coun
try in which he is living, but as a part
of the country which sent him. It
could no mere be entered by the police
than a town could be occupied by the
Boldiery of another nation. This protec
tion 3S oxip>nd3d to the inmates of the
h''use. If a wrong is committed by
some one in tho employ of an em
bassy. in any capacity, the only means
of redress is an appeal to the ambas
sador or to the government which sent
him, and vi;^ich will not, it Is sup
posed, allow a wiong to be sheltered
under the peculiar privileges granted
its representative.
Pathetic Religious Ceremony Tra-, i
Observed by People of the
Isle of L' nt.
In the Island of T^shant--the ‘
of Fear”—there exi?t3 a c-astcin \-
ably unknjown In any other par
Christendom. When a netive
abroad or is lost at s?a, his I'eL;-;
have a small wax cross mado,
seven inches long. This is soVi:
taken to the church and preseni-
the priest, who deposits it in a L
shaped like a cinerary urn, that L.u i
on the south side of the altar of J
Joseph. This is called the “Pro K’f ’
cross, and is supposed to stan.] for
the spirit of the dead. These
rial symbols are allowed to accumu
late in the box till the next t:Lu!ch
mission comes round. As these n.vi-
val services are held only once in ev
ery four or five years, the number of
crosses may be very considerably',
day is then set apart for their soleinn
interment. It is the great day, tbe
climax of the mission. The chur h ia
draped in black and crowded uiih a
mourning congregation, many of
whom break out into loud Vi-iling.
The crosses are brought from their
urn in solercn procession, a requiem
mass is said over them, and then they
are carried to the churchyard, the
iron door of the 4omb is anlocked, and
they are interred with full horiors.
Throughout the year hardly a day
passes but some pious toul Corne; to
sprinkle the tomb with holy v\ater
and say a prayer befoie it for tha
dead.—-Wide World Magazine.
