"Death loves a shining mark" was shown in the sudden taking off of Mr. Henry George in New York on last Friday at 4:45 a- m He was one of the four prominent candidates for the mayoralty of the "greater city," and a most vigorous canvass of the metropolis proved too much for his weak con stitution.and he died of apoplexy an overworked brain. His death cast some uncertain factors into the campaign, but tht result is now known. Mr. George was about 58 years of age, having come up from the ranks of the poorer toilers. He had spent most of his life in the newspaper business, from the bot tom up to a book writer. Nature's God had given to him a strong, keen intellect and an open, sympathetic, honest heart. He had the bent of the true philos opher making careful, common sense observations and deducing lessons therefrom to aid the masses of which he knew so much from his past life. He loved the people and they loved him. He was a great social and politi cal philosopher. Some of his views were practical and will have a beneficial effect upon the world and our country in future legisla tion. Others of his views were in advance of his age and are still to be tested. Others still of his views were rather theoretical than prac tical. His main idea as to taxa tion was that taxes should be raised upon real estate only by a fair graduation; and that there should be a fair distribution of the great bodies of idle land owned by corporations and individuals. But it would be difficult to do this now, and a fair compensation should be rendered, if distributed at all; and he would have it done fairly as to his views of it. He has written a half dozen or more volumes on social and political economy, and his views are in part or as a whole endorsed by some of the great minds of the world, as Tolstoi of Russia. He has started a great current of great thoughts in this country and the world on his chosen themes, and he died an honest martyr to them. Best of all, Henry George was a good man, moral, upright, pious. He was both good and great. " Man proposes, but God disposes." A riCllTI.KSS EFKOUT. Senator Wolcott's coaxing com mittee is home after a fruitless effort to induce Great Britain to reopen the Indian mints and con cede silver other prerogatives which, with the co-operation of France, would have resulted in the remonetization of silver and the restoration of prosperity to the pro ducers of the world. But the smug and oily pawn brokers and money-lenders of Eng land were able to stifle the moans of commerce and agriculture long enough to convince the English Cabinet that the question could not be reopened and pushed to any state of possible solution with out causing the pawnbrokers and money sharks, the manipulators of markets and wreckers of railroads, the appropriators of public high ways and "fixers" of courts and legislators, to suffer losses which might in some degree approach the losses sustained by the toilers of the world in anyone year of the past twenty-five. The hoarded masses of money wrung from the people by the means of class legislation and other oppressive laws are too holy to menace with a diminution of pur chasing power. It is not like that base and groveling thing that was once called King Cotton; it is far away and above the level of the vulgar toiler who sweats away a weary life in order to create luxu ries for the holders of man-made money while existing himself upon the commonest necessaries of life. The bonds and mortgages and railroad stocks and bank shares may go on forever drawing inter est in a money which will continue to increase in value while the labor which makes those evidences of indebtedness of value to their hold ers must be sold at a decreasing profit to its owner. The one is labor performed in the past or the usufruct of public or private fran chises; the other is the labor of the present. The one must be care fully guarded and shielded from the inroads of the tax collector; the other must be taxed to the limit of human endurance. To restore the status quo of silver would mean the placing of the one kind of labor upon the same fcot ing as the other, in that it would make the labor of the present more valuable than the labor of the past. And so it was that the advances of the Wolcott committee were spurned by the English holders of the preferred wealth of the world. Will the Republican party rise to the occasion and declare that its advances to Great Britain having been refused, it behooves this country to protect itself and pro ceed to the free and independent coinage of silver at once? HOLD Til KM TO THE RACK." The fusionists should be held to the record that they have made. A party that will not own, stand by and defend, if defensible, what it has done is not worthy of the people's trust. If the present party in power, composed of Republicans and Populists, want to distract attention from their record, it shows that they are con vinced that it is weak, and the scheme is to cry " wolf, wolf," to call away the searchlights from what has been done and not done by the last Legislature. But be not deceived at this game of But ler and Russell. Hold them up to their own " rack, fodder or no fod der." Monopolies are bad, but Ruesell and Mary Ann have been trying to make it appear that some State railways are greater trusts and more fearful than other trusts for the sake of arousing prejudice against amassed wealth, and, too, for the purpose of drawing atten tion away from the famous and remarkable doings that are recorded of that most noteworthy gathering at Raleigh last year, called by way of dutiful politeness the legislature of North Carolina. Uncover them from every false refuge hold them to the record that they them selves have made. By their fruits we know them, and well; by their fruits we will not know them again as rulers. Pin them down to the record. The Democrats can well compare records with them. KDITOllIAL NOTES. The Charlotte Daily Observer is delighted at the prospect of a fast train from New York south which will enable this benighted region to get New York newspa pers at 6:30 on the day of publica tion. Will the Observer take note that there is no intention to put on any fast trains from the South to the North? It will be impossible to leave Charlotte at 3 or 4 a. m. and get in New York at 6:30 of the same day. It is only for the accommodation of the Yellow Kid, monopoly-representing press of New York that the railroads are presented with a large annual bonus for tunning a fast mail. There is no reciprocity in the matter. It has long been supposed that the post-bellum crop of colonels was peculiarly a Southern product. How closely this belief conforms to the facts may be judged in the recital of the fact that a Vermont delegation, homeward bound from the Nashville exposition, called on Mr. Hanna's President. The Wash ington Times printed a list of twenty-two of the callers, eleven of whom were prefixed "Col.," two "Gen." and two " Maj." With one lone exception, the remainder were " Hons." It will thus be seen, in the vernacular of the day, that there are others. With perhaps the exception of the direct beneficiaries of the dis graceful and incompetent Repub lican administration of State affairs, every patriotic and worthy citizen is thoroughly disgusted and ashamed of the result of turn ing over to a disreputable political combination the management of the people's interests in this Com monwealth. The experiment has proved an expensive one, extrava gance and spoliation taking the place of an economical and honest government under a Democratic administration for many years pre vious. Another bank embezzler has been pardoned by the President. This time it is Louis Redwine, of Atlanta, confined in the Columbus (Ohio) penitentiary. In the same prison languishes a man who robbed a grocery store of enough provisions to keep his family for a month or two, he being out of work. He was sent to the peni tentiary for the same length of time as the fellow who stole a million almost. But he'll serve out his lime, all right. The Repub lican President can pardon every thing but poverty. The Caucasian has discovered a deep-laid plot on the part of some unnamed Democrats of this State to abandon the money and monop oly questions in the campaign of 1900. The youthful Senator should keep his boogy-men in the cup board to frighten children. The strength of a party which would abandon silver, financial reforms, and abuse of judicial power in 1900 may be judged by a casual glance at the vote given Palmer and Buckner last year. Another coffee-colored "queen," this time the niece of Queen Lil, is on her way to claim Hawaii as her onliest own. This makes a quartette of claimants the Amer ican government, one pair of bru nette queens, and Claus Spreckels, the California sugar king, the lat ter needing the island in his busi ness and his claim being endorsed by Muchly Affluent Hanna in return for a liberal contribution to a recent "campaign of education." Just as we were getting a rest from the Cleveland mania, that good and sweet little woman whom all the country truly loves has brought him into prominence again. Mother and son doing very well, thank you, while the father will be able to be about as usual in another week, thanks to bromo, wet cloths, etc. The tidal wave of McKinley prosperity has not yet engulfed the cotton growers. Republican papers continue to yawp about the prosperous condition of the coun try while the staple which leads all productions of the country in the money return for sales abroad is at the lowest price ever known. Last week the farmers of New York city sold their " December " wheat for a dollar a bushel again. The wheat and corn exchange fel lows are lucky. It was remarked as a coincidence, however, that except in the stock markets wheat was still to be had of real farmers around the 80 cent point. Mr. McKinley is evidently of opinion that hungry dogs hunt best, and is shooing the colored man and brother away from the pie couHter in order to keep him in that state of expectancy which will conduce to party fealty. Boss Quay and Boss Martin, who disagreed over the distribution of the proceeds of the spoliation of the State of Pennsylvania, have become reconciled. Gloomy out look for Pennsylvania? Mr.' McKinley issued his Thanks giving proclamation before leaving for Ohio to vote. Shrewd Mr. McKinley. He did not wish to take chances. They have discovered a bimetal list in the English Cabinet. He'll be a statesman out of a job in the near future. GENERAL NEWS. It is estimated that fully 813, 000,000 will be invested in new mills, additions and repairs in the South this year. Ex Senator Calvin S. Brice is working for the United States senatorship in case the Democrats carry the Ohio legislature. The record of yellow fever cases in New Orleans at the close of the week stood as follows: Total number of caes, 1,440; total deaths, 1G9; total cases absolntely recovered, G97; total cases under treatment, 574. The Gallaudet Celebration Asso ciation ot New England has decided to observe the one hundred and tenth auniversary of the birth of the Rev. Thomas II. Gallaudet, the father of education for deaf mutes, in Boston, on December 10th. Little Johnny Conway, whose abduction from Albany, N. Y., last summer was an event of interest throughout the country, and whose uncle, Joseph M. Hardy, and con federate, II. G. Blake, are now serving fifteen years in Danemora for kidnapping, is lying danger ously ill. The shock, exposure in the bushes for two nights, and the drugs that his captors administered to insure his silence and sleeping have, it is thought, undermined his constitution so that there is little hope of his recovery.

The editor of the Condon (Or. ) Globe saw a deed of cow valor that was worth recording as well as seeing. A herd of cattle, and among them two cows, ac companied by their calves, were grac ing in tall dead grass when the calves became separated a little from the rest of the herd. Just then twe huge, hungry coyotes crept np through the grass, cat off the calves from the rest of the cattle and started in pursuit of them. After run ning about 200 yards the calves came to a high, five wire, barbed wire fence, and, being small, managed to get through it On the other aide of the fence was an open pasture. The wolves quickly followed the calves through the fence and were rap idly running them down on the other dde, when the two cow mothers discov ered what was going on. Each uttered a loud bellow, hoisted her tail and started for the rescue. It appeared to be a hopeless chase, for the wire fence intervened, and the cows were certainly much too large to get through it They knew well enough that it was there, and could, besides, Bee it plainly, but both cows plunged together straight into it The watching editor, horrified, look ed to see them hurled back, frightfully wounded, but instead one of the posts gave way under the onslaught, the wires sank down, and in another mo ment the mothers were on the pasture side of the fence, badly cut and bleed ing, but still able to charge the wolves successfully and put them to flight Soon the cows were licking the res cued calves affectionately, and the coy otes were howling a disappointed duet from the summit of a knoll near by. STATE MEWS. Ou the 16th of December, Judge W. A. Hoke, of the Superior Court, will marry Miss Mamie McBee, of Lincolnton,in the Episcopal church at that place. The golden anni versary of Miss McBee'a parents occurs on that date. Mr. Asa Jones, of Ashe county, has a peach orchard the trees of which were grafted on wild dog wood stocks. The owner states the life of these trees is several years longer than the ordinary tree and that they seldom fail to bear a good crop of fruit. MiKon McNeily, having received an appointment as postmaster at Wilkeshoro, has sent his resigna tion as State Senator from the twenty-ninth district to the Gov ernor. Being a good Republican, be made sure of the new office before letting go the one he had been holdiug. Moore county claims to have built wore miles of railroad this year than any county in the State. As a result, the improvements in that section have been almost phe nomenal. Grapes, peaches, plums, and berries are being cultivated with great profit, and the lands that formerly were barely worth taxes now bring a good price. According to a report of the Commissioner of Statistics there are 210 cotton mills in North Caro lina, consuming on an average 1,809 bales or cotton per day. The total number of spindles is 1,463, 395. More cotton is manufactured than the State produces. There are also 16 woolen mills with 5,038 spindles aud 234 looms; 22 wool carding mills, and 207 gold mines. The trial in the Circuit Court at Asheville of George Hall and Abe Davidson, negroes, charged wich the murder of Harry Slagle, result ed in a verdict of acqnittal. Slagle was found dead beside the railroad track near Swannanoa Station July last, and the State's theory was that Hall and Davidson mur dered and robbed him and placed the body on the track to divert suspicion.

North Carolina's Hidden Wealth. There is undoubtedly more hidden wealth in the soil of North Carolina than in any State of the Union. Its natural resources are so extensive and varied that many mining and manufacturing enter prises are springing up in various portions of the State. The output of the auriferous deposits alone is constantly increasing in value, and the yield at some of the gold mines approaches the appearance of a bonanza to the miner. It is not unreasonable to believe that from present evidences, with the introduction of modern, scentific methods for obtaining the precious metal, the State of North Carolina will in the near future develop more gold than any other part of the country, with perhaps the ex ception of Alaska. tT-FoR Sale.

The bladder was created for one pur pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine, and as such it is not liable to any form of disease except by one of two ways The first way is from imperfect action of the kidneys. The second way is from careless local treatment of other dis eases. CHIEF CAUSE. Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid neys is the chief cause of bladder trou bles. So the womb, like the bladder, was created for one purpose, and if not doctored too much is not liable to weak ness or disease, except in rare cases. It is situated back of and very close to the bladder, therefore any pain, disease or inconvenience manifested in the kid neys, back, bladder or urinary passage is often, by mistake, attributed to fe male weakness or womb trouble of some sort. The error is easily made and may be as easily avoided. To find out correctly, set your urine aside for twenty four hours; a sediment or set tling indicates kidney or bladder trou ble. The mild and extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney and bladder remedy, is soon realized. If you need a medicine, you should haye the bent.

Osgood, of Boston, the owner of the largest and most successful furniture business in New England, if not in the country, was one of the few large buyers among furniture dealers during the hard times of last year, who did a great business, always paying cash, moving on as if times were good, while rival concerns were going to pieces right and left all abont. His credit from Michigan to Maine became so conspicuously "solid" that be was one of the most talked of young men in commercial circles. With limited means, but well bred, full of character, straightfor ward, and well-educated, be start ed, in business ouly a few years ago in a very moderate way in a little store on Tremont street in Boston. The city began to know him quickly. His business rapidly assumed big proportions. A news paper one day interviewed him in the column of "Men Worth Know ing." "To what do you attribute yonr success T" asked the interviewer. Mr. Osgood replied very shortly : uWhen iu doubt, buy the best goods." He is known everywhere today by that expression. Work told on Mr. Osgood's health. With characteristic judg ment he put bis reliance upon nature's best remedy to make him well again. The best of medical treatment was at his disposal ; there certainly was no physician that a man in his positioa could not employ, lie got the right advice, and followed it. Today he is perfectly well, good-tempered, aggressive aud energetic to the last degree. In a letter to the proprietors of Pane's Celery Compound, written Sept. 22, 1897, Mr. Osgood said : "1 have derived great benefit from the nee of Paine's Celery Compound, andean unhesitatingly recommend it for building up the system when "run dowu" and tired out with worry or work. I first used this really great remedy ou the recommendation of a friend whom it bad cured of a fearful case SOUTHERN THIRD Schedule effective May 17, 1896.

Work is necessary to a healthy body and brain; but when it runs through the same grooves through the twelve months, year in aud year out, the effect is as disastrous as a fire in a bundle of wood. When the nervous system is fagged out none of the organs of the body do their duty; the puri fying, excretory organs do not thoroughly cleanse the blood and the digestive and assimilative organs keep the nerves badly nour ished. The tired system needs help. Ilere is where Paiue's Celery Com pound accomplishes its wouderful work. The radical purifying of the blood and the rapid feeding of the nerves by this great remedy prevents the development of dis eases that often lurk unrecognized in the system. Every one who has taken Paine's Celery Compound has noticed and remarked to others its wonderful strengthening effect upon the entiie nervous organization and its cleansing action on the vitiated blood. It cures the body of that nervous habit, eradicates head ache, cures insomnia and wasting diseases, aud quickly drives out the poisonous humors that cause the aches aud pains of rheumatism and neuralgia. For building np the body against geueral debility, poor appetite and the tired lifeless feelings that accompany alowner vous toue, Paine's Celery Com pound is beyond all question the surest, most responsible remedy any one can nse. An ailing habit, with frequent bodily pains over the eat of such vital organs as the heart, brain or kidueys is serious aud urgent. The decent to fatal disease is easy, wheuever the body becomes "run down.'' Build up the strength and resistance of the nervous and digestive systems with Paine's Celery Compound, get rid of unhealthy conditions of these organs, and get out of danger. RAILWAY. DIVISION.
