A French explorer has discovered thejvalnest people in the world; 7 By a curfous coincidence they, happen to be also the ugliest, t They - are the Pa houins, a savage tribe of the western coast of Africa. ' The main occupation of these people is the adornment of their persons, i As the Pahouin's cloth ing Is of so light a character as not to Incommode him he bestows a good shae of his thought upon the adorn ment of his body, which he tattoos in elaborate designs done in red orblue. Or a more fanciful effect is obtained by tattooing In relief by injecting un derneath the skin the Joke of s plant which produces a permanent swelling. Sometimes the face and body are also tinted with a dye, red being the color most in demand. - r ; " The same methods are used In adorn ing the face, especial attention being given to the nose. Many of the Pa houlns after tattooing or painting their noses pierce them with long, slender bones. Others after piercing the nose attach to it a string of colored pearls. Both men and "women concentrate their efforts on their hair. Their Inge nuity, which is shown In the construc tion of scores of different headdresses of bone and metal for the men' of the tribe, chiefly the warriors, Is illustrated in a far greater degree by the coiffures of the women. The extreme of simplicity in the Pa houln women's "method in making themselves beautiful is to shave the head till It is smooth and round as ball and then to color It with a dye.

I enlisted at 15 years of age and was in active service for three years, two months and ten days; was ha the hardest fought battles of the civil war and was with Lee at Appomattox. I have been a Democrat ': all my life, having never scratched a ticket. , As such Confederate veteran and Demo crat I want to protest against any as pirant for the United States ' senate at tempting to monopolize the old soldiers' vote and to turn the old veterans' asso ciation into apolitical organization to promote bis ambition, as did Butler the Farmers' Alliance. I am voicing the sentiments of at least nine-tenths of the old soldiers in my county. We are for Simmons.

Mr. Home Is about 45 years old. Greensboro Telegram: There have been vague rumors from time to time to the effect that efforts were being' made to secure what is known in North Carolina as the cotton mill vote for McKinley this year. For instance, it has been repeat-1 edly charged that certain Republican politicians were at work trying to Influ ence the cotton mill operatives in this congressional district to vote for Mr. J. 1. Joyce for congress. ' There is, appa rently, no donbt that such influences are at work in every cotton mill community in the district. The bulk of this vote has heretofore been cast for the Democratic nominee. BOERS STILL FIGHTING. Inflict Lose on Mahon. Boers Am bushed by Bethune and Severely Punished. - . ' . f . London, Oct. 16.

"Mahon, commanding the mouated troops, successfully engaged the enemy on October 13tbt but' our losses were severe,- three officers and eight men being killed and three officers and 25 men wounded. ' "French occupied Carolina yesterday, capturing a convoy during his march." Lord Roberts also reports a number of -minor affairs showing that the Boers are' active over a wide field. The British re-entered Bloemhof, near Kimberley, October 14th, unopposed and captured 50 Boers. Durban, Oct. 16. -NearVryheld.a Boer commando was taken in ambuscade by Bethune's mounted infantry, the Boers losing 60 killed, 85 wounded and 65 taken prisoners. Gen Carr'a Generosity. A Notable . Instance. ' Senator Wood, of Randolph county, in a recent newspaper article, gave some 15 or 20 reasons why Gen. Carr should be elected United States senator, nearly all of them being detailed instances of his generosity. He omitted one that the iusionists of the State regard as very im portant. It is this. When the gallant colonel of the Sixth North Carolina, the late Col. Tate, was defeated at the polls for State treasurer, Gen. Carr was among the first to tender his credit (not his check book) to his successful opponent and went on the bond of State Treasurer Worth, a gentleman who did not serve in . the war, qualifying for about f 40,000 or 50,000, or nearly one-fourth of the entire bond. Upon each subsequent re newal of his official bond Gen. Carr was one of the sureties and he is today liable for the official good conduct of this fasionist official for an amount larger than the combined wealth of Gov. Jarvis, Col. Waddell and Mr. Simmons. Surely such generosity onght not to have been omitted by ben. Carr's friends. I wonder if Gen. Carr has tendered his services as surety on the bond of State Treasurer-elect B. IL Lacy? Straight Demociut. AUGUST FLOWER. "It is a surprising fact," says Trof.
