Of all the holidays throughout the year none is more joyously wel comed anywhere in Christendom than the day annually commemor. ated as the festival of the birth of Christ. That this festival in thr manner of its celebration is said to be appropriated from ancient pa Kanism as practiced in sun worship makes it none the less joyous at the present day. The sun of righteousness now shines in the hearts of mankind, and the light of joy ai.Yi benevo lence wells up into an expression of "peace on earth, good will toward men." On this day happiness is sup posed to rein supreme, and as an emphasis to this sentiment the custom of making presents to rel atives and friends at this time as tokens of affection and regard has become universal. "It is more blessed to give than to receive," and therefore the most genuine happiness comes to those who, inspired by the true sentiments of the season and prompted by a hearty good will toward the recipients of their benevolence, make gifts to others that carries with it a kindly interest and not alone the liberality of th- giver. The expression of love accompany jng the present has far more value than the intrinsic worth of the article given. To view the matter of making presents merely as a custom, little pleasure will be derived from its observance. The greatest happi ness obtains where the light of Christian charity brightens the occasion (or the distribution of gifts whether they be of an expert sive or unpretentious character. The youthful heart will welcome Christmas as "the best time of all the year." To them joy and mirth are unrestrained, and they appro priate the day as especially de signed for their happiness. The mysterious Santa Claus provides them with the means for having wholesome fun to their hearts' content, and they make the most of the opportunity. Thus can young and old, rich and poor, find occasion in the uni versal holiday for tejoicing. And so we wish a Merry Christmas to all our readers and the rest of mankind. Ik Spanish officers in the Phil ippine Islands and Cuba were treated for lying about the con tinued success of the Spanish forces as Ananias and Sapphira were over the price of land, the privates would be kept busy bury ing them. Hardly do their dis patches get cold in type before from authentic sources come vir tual denials which give unqualified success to the insurgents. This has been verified again and again by contrasting dispatches of Span ish officials with those of the accredited war correspondents of the great dailies. Hut, neverthe less, the Administration prefers to Njace credence in a nation of liars atut so protect the bondholder, ratherSan test the pulsation of the America heart which is throb bing m sympathy for the tyran nized people of tf. unhappy isles. From a St:itT Ci'ncsp,.r:liiit l'UITl'll AKII'S AllUTI f . The Hon. Jed Pritchard, acci dental Senator from the Old North State, has at last reached the level he has been seeking for K, these many years. The great leader of the Piebalds, his colleague in the American Senate, will retire from the public gaze for a space, while the lion. Jed takes a fall out of Tame and utilizes the trumpet of that giddy old mythological female of unsavory reputation to inform the world that he, the Hon. Jed, whom Pate in a cruel mood inflicted upon North Carolina, has amission in the Senate, and which he, the said Hon. Jed, the product, etc., of said Tate, etc., would accomplish or per i s-h in the attempt. This will be gladsome nws to the average North Carolina white person, who has as yet failed t find out just what reasonable excuse the Hon. Jed had for living. Others, who knew the situation, were onto the game, or thought ihrv knew. They had figured it that the Hon. Jed was inflicted upon the North Carolina people to show exactly wnat me neoaus kept m stock and as a grim warn ing of what might happen if the ,hite people r,f intelligence and who loved their State continued to Vy-.r the Piebald party in a spirit j revsige. Probably the latter were half rijjhu However that may be, it is neither here nor there, and specu lation will henceforth cease. The Hon. Jed. has entered the arena as a champion. lie will meet all comers in behalf of Whom? In behalf of the struggling farm ers and planters of his State? No. In behalf of the operative in the mills of the State? No. Nor in behalf of the State's industries, its prosperity, or its advancement. None of these. These the inter esting Piebald leaves to ordinary individuals who have neither brazen trumpet nor leathern lungs. The Hon. Piebald Jed's mission is to oust the present Federal office holders in order that he may get a few genuine coons' jobs at spittoon cleaning and fire building as evi dence of the love he bears the descendants of Ham, while he dis tributes perhaps a hundred fat places among his kinfolks and holders of his political promises to pay Piebalds for their activity in getting so distinguished a member of the clan elevated to the seat he now holds. Office, office, and always office. The people's woes may multiply; the money of ultimate redemption -.hiink to the vanishing point; the liberties of the people made the sport of judicial injunction; a half million people may die every year in the island of Cuba as a direct result of the Administration's amazing inactivity; anything else may happen to the people, but the Hon. Piebald Jed has neither time nor eloquence for such things. "Office, office, office for the con stituency which made Me what I am ! " is the refrain. And our Senator we can't dis own him, don't you see is but reflecting in a minor way the views f the party of public plunder and organized greed. Hoth the Sena tor and the party look to the future. Neither is satisfied with the outlook. Mark Hanna mort gaged the legislation of the coun try in order to elect McKinley. Mark paid off the trusts, monop olies, and combines the first dash out of the box with the great Dingiey Deficiency Provoker. lie is preparing to pay the railroads in the ticket scalping bill and the elevation of McKenna to the Su preme Bench to pass upon the laws. The banks and bankers are looking for their share of the loot f the people in the steps taken to ' preserve existing conditions if it be impossible to get through the Senate a recognition of the gold standard." And so the ofliceseekers are to be paid, and the nigh ox of our Piebald senatorial team the yon ox meantime busily engaged in explaining is to make himself this especial champion. And the Senator has struck his gait; he is trotting in his class. He can restore prosperity to a few by putting them at the public teat. North Carolina will be credited possibly with two hundred and fifty more government employees. The rest of the people are not to be considered. They're a grum bling, complaining set, anyway. And the pride of North Carolina in the Hon. Jed Piebald Pritchard groweth apace! In addition to his contemptuous title, the editor of the llaysccdcr is of opinion that the only way to j;et along with his constituency is to indulge in vile invective, using sheol for hell because he lacks the courage of his convictions, con demn for its rugged Anglo Saxon root for a similar reason, and gen erally to write so as to convey the idea to readers out of the State that the readers of his paper are an uncouth, illiterate, and vithal vulgar set to whose level he is endeavoring to get down. He may be right, but we doubt it, and ;.f so his people are the very oppo site! the farmers of McDowell county. At a meeting. of the National Hoard of Trade nt-Washington last w eek one of the delegates said that "if the money question were taken out of the hands of cross roads politicians and put into those of business men it would be speed ily and correctly solved!" Ah! Indeed? Did it ever occur to this sjpient " business man " that og out of every ico business men make a failure in life3 Did it ever occur to this gentleman that the cross-roads politicians represent the cross-roads people? That comparatively small por tion of the Hon. Running Zigzag Lir.ney's constituency who are applicants for Federal office are much pleased with the erratic member's activity. Hut the com mon people are not yet ready to believe that the abolitijn of the civil service laws will elevate the price of pitch, pine, and rosin, cotton, corn, and peanuts the common interests of a common people. When not catering to trusts, the Republican mind seems togravit.tte toward the otnceholder as the next greatest care of his party. Our cousin, the editor of the esteemed Caucasian, has not yet emerged from behind the fog-bank of silence in the Senate. When he does, he will ask the Democrats in that body not to believe those four men who swore they heard the Senator make that unprintable statement, and for proof point proudly to the 69,999,996 people who did not hear him. Hi Attorney General McKenna was duly named for the Supreme Bench. When it comes to paying political debts Mark Hanna is quoted Ai unlimited, and when it comes to collecting them you can bet your last copper cent that Collis P. Huntington is a cent per center. That confounded batch of "inde pendents" out in Ohio are giving Business Manager Hanna consid erable trouble in the bank account, it is greatly to be feared. Plague take the man who imposes upon the unsophisticated Money Always Hanna by refusing to stay bought! In Illinois the gold Democrats evince a disposition to hold out the olive branch to the silverites of the party, and have notified the latter that if they will return, accept the goldites' terms, and promise never to do so again, all will be forgiven. Well ! Well ! Our cousin Marion Butler, editor of the Caucasian and incidentally a Senator of the United States, in his former occupation is just now busy "nailing lies." Better save enough material to "spike" the "guns of calumny" a little later on, Marion, old boy. Senator Butler to Editor Butler: "Please tell my people that I didn't do it. I know I didn't, for Senator Hale of Maine did not hear me, and he is certain to hear and repeat anything discreditable to the South." Those cotton weavers and oper ators who had 3 a week taken off a $12 salary are asked to view the reduction with complacency be cause the $6,000 a year superin tendent consented to a cut of 500 The trouble with the Hickory Mercury, which flies at its mast head the legend " The greatest good to the greatest number," is that in its Piebald estimation the "greatest number" is No. 1. The bankers' convention at At lanta the other day declared for a revival of State banks, but under Federal control. Was ver there such example of self-abnegation before? Mr. McKenna has advanced another step toward the Supreme Bench. Ah, there, Mr. Hunting ton is this a payment on account or a receipt in full? The office-hungry in North Caro lina are many, but their allotment will be small after Jedge Linney knocks the civil service law into desuetude. Since the ginmill in the United States Senate was closed down the fashion in senatorial hip pockets has been enlarged to meet the situation. JuiIk1 I.Iiuk'j'h Anti-Civil Service Speech. Congressman Linney's recent speech in the House, to which our Washington correspondent briefly referred last week, seems to be remarkable mainly for the proph ecy contained therein. That his prediction will be fulfilled there is no doubt, and the political outlook is encouraging to the Democrats in this district. No one with a grain of horse sense believes the Republicans will repeal the civil service law "root and branch," and as Republican success admittedly depends upon the distribution of pie, Judge Linney's chances for being retired to private life at the end of his present term are exceed ingly bright. Among other things he said that if the system of civil service con tinues "I will not get 19,000 votes next year. Neither will the Repub lican party in my State present force enough to grease a gimlet to bore a hole to bury themselves." Congressman Allen, of Mississippi (Private ohn), remarked that this was an encouraging prospect, tut Linney t ctorted that it was a pros pect that the gentlemar. would derive no benefit from because the Republican party was xgoing to repeal the civil service law "root and branch." "Why, sir," he 'can- tinueci. it l had a stone in rnyL nanu 10 nun over inis ooay 01 intelligent men, and it was under stood by some sort of mysterious influence that that stone was to be directed unerringly against the head of the man who could not stand the civil service examina tion, and I hurled it with the force of Hercules, there would be the most terrible dodging in this House the world ever saw. Laugh ter and applause Probably not a dozen men in this body could stand examination." Tno Millions a Year. When people buy. try. and hut nain. it means they're satisfied.

Judge Sutton, who has been holding the crimiuarcourt of Meck lenburg county, instructed the sheriff ro furnish a complete list of all delinquent taxpayers in the county according to the require ments of the act of the legislature of 1897. The effect of this order was that the jail was so soon filled with delinquents that their "legs were sticking out the windows." Judge Ewart wa asked if he should make Sheriff Worley a sim ilar reqnest at this term of his court. Judge Ewart said : "No, I shall make no such ridicnlous, absurd, and illegal construction of the act. I was asked," said the judge, "by the sheriff of McDowell if he should furnish a list of delin quent taxpayers in order that the solicitor might take action if he desired, aud I promptly answered, No.'" Judge Sutton and Judge Ewart evideutly disagree in their con struction of the statute. Judge Sutton, it will be remembered, is the one who sentenced a man in one of the eastern counties to be hanged on Thanksgiving day. The power to arrest for non payment of tax within a certain time is one of importance aud interest. Judges differ iu their construction of the act and its final settlement is greatly desired. This preposterous act is an offspring of the late Republican-Populist legis lature. An Important Decision. A telegram from Judge A. C Avery, Tuesday, announced that the Supreme Court has decided the James' case in favor of the plaintiff. This was a suit in which the widow of Engineer Will James brought suit in the State courts against the Western North Caro lina Railroad and received judg ment for 15,000. Judge Avery and Messrs. B. F. Long and L. S. Overman were counsel for the plaintiff. The important point decided in the case, one in which every one living on the line of the W. N. C. R. R. is interested, is that the old corporation is still in existence and is still liable for torts. This means that suits against it can be brought in the State courts, the W. X. C. R. R. being a domestic corporation, and suit against it as such cannot be removed to the Federal courts. The Perry case, pending for trial in Burke Superior courts, stands on the same grounds as the James case. Mr. James was a nephew of our townsman Mr. W. James, and was killed near Round Knob last year. Ed. Household God. The ancient Geeks believed that the Penates were the gods who attended to the welfare and pros perity of the family. They were worshipped as household gods in every home. The household god of today ts Dr. King's New Dis covery. For couisutnpt ion, roughs, colds and for all affections of Throat, Chest and Lungs it is invaluable. It has been tried for a quarter of a century aud i guar an teed to cure, or money returned. No household should be without this good angel. It is pleasant to take and a safe and sure remedy for old and young. Free trial bot tles at G. I. White's Drug Store. Christina Superstitions. It was not until the tentli cen tury in the far ik rth that the an nual feast in honor of the son gave wav to the Christian least the 25th of December, and even now traces of sun worship may be found all over Europe. For instance, in Germany the peasants of Chem nitz believe if woman dance in the unslight at Candlemas their flax will thrive the coming season, while in Lincolnshire, England, if the sun shines through the bianches of the apple trees on Christmas day there will be a hivy crop of apples, according to local belief. In central France the farmers make a special cake on Christmas eve, to which amazing medicinal virtues are attributed. Like the Gootl Friday bread of England lolk lore, which never grows moldly, it will keep for a year, and if any one falls ill a fragment is given him. 1 he French towns all have their especial Christmas cakes, some oblong, others round, or shaped like an infant or men, women, oxen or horses.

The Raleigh Times, an evening daily, has been purchased by Mr. Joseplins Daniels, of the Xeicx and Observer, who will place it in the front ranks of the metropolitan dailies of the State. The three big locomotives just completed for the Southern Rail way are said to be the largest ever built. They are capable of drawing 500 tons up an 84 foot grade at the rate of f0 miles per hour. Rev. II. T. Graham has been called to the pastorate of the Fayetteville Prebytcriau church. He has been assistant pastor to Rev. A. J.

Ou the second Tuesday ia Janti ary the Grand Lodge of Masons will hold its annual convention at the Oxloid Orphan Asylum for the special put pose of allowiug the brethren to see the admirable way in which that noble charity is con ducted. It is estimated that there are now 2,000,000 acres of waste land in the Southeastern counties, which if in timber would yield abundant returns at the rate of about -.00,-000 a year. The loss is due to lack of care in growing pine trees ou these lands. The Mootesvilie Journal says the Iredell chain gang has been polled as to how they voted in the last election, ami it was fouud that forty two voted for McKinley aud three for Bryan. There comes that civil service law again giving places to Democrat! that justly belong to Republicans. Those three Bryan men should be kicked off the gang, and their places given to Republi cans who, by aiding to elect Mc Kinley, are fully entitled to the positions these men hold. Ashe ville Gazette. Rilcigh A'tvrs and Obsereei: That, ariti civil seivice caucus of the Republicans in Washington is a demagogic affair of sound and fury, signifying nothing. Pearson, Linney and White are high up in the meeting. But their presence there will do no good. What their p ick wants is pie, aud plenty of it. The heelers down here are up to their necks in the McKinley wave, ciyinjr, ''Save us or we perish !"' But Pearson and L'liney and White must know that they are chasing shadows. At any rate, the heelers know it. Julian S. Carr, of North Caro lina, addressing the bankers' con vention at Atlauta, came out "bald-headed and bare-footed" for free silver. 'kl am a free-silver Democrat," he declared. "When I get among bankers 1 confess 1 leel lonesome, but I have plenty of com pany when I am with the rest of the people. I am for state banks all right, anil I don't care if the notes, proposed in the resolution we have adopted, do not circulate outside of the state of their issue. We want money that we can keep at home. The trouble with this good money that circulates everywhere is that it circulates away from us. The gold standatd may be all right for the people up north, where they have plenty of money, but we want something else. I got my ideas of political economy aud finance by hard knocks. I tell you thealaim has been sounded iu the watch tower of the public and the people are demanding that something l e done. We had better be doing it, too. I am for the dollars of our laddies, state banks and free silver." Educate Your Itowels With C'asrurets. Cand y cathartic cure constipation forever 10c. If c. c. c. fail, druggists refuno. money. ONE OF TWO WAYS. 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 f the kilneys. The secobd way is from carets local treatment of other dis eases. CHIEF CAISK. Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid neys is the chief cause of bladder trou bles. iSo 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 ineonvenif nee manifested iu the kid neys, back, bladder or urinary passage is often, by niistbke, attributed to fe male weakness or womb trouble of Rome sort. The error is easily- made and may be as easily avoided. To rind out correctly, eet your urine aside for twenty four hours: a sediment or fet tling indicates kidney or bladder trou ble.

Williams gives, in the New York World, a reminis cence of the seige of Petersburg, illustrating the pleasant way in which both Unionists and Confed erates observed the last Christmas day of the war. "Christmas day, 1S(4," he says, "fonud the armies under Meade and Lee occupying the opposing lines of seige works at Petersburg, Va. I had ridden over from General Warren's head quarters to eat my holiday dinner with my old comrade. Will Gilder, who afterward became famous as an Arctic traveller. I found him and General L'gan in a bomb-proof near Port Hell, on the Jerusalem plank-road, and enjoyed a hearty meal amid the shriek of shell and loud detonations of artillery. "After dinner anil a peaceful pipe," continues Mr. Williams, "Ma jor Gilder and I paid a visit to the outer line of pickets, being obliged to trawl on our hands and knees for two hundred yards to avoid the bullets which were con stantly whistling over our heads. "Finally we reached the picket line, having given to a brother officer a portion of the good things we had been discussing. As t lie captain liuished his dinner there was a perceptible slackening in the artillery and musketry tire, until a deep silence fell upou the long line of trenches. "'The Johnnies have hoisted a Hag, sir,' said a sergeant, as he emerged from a pit near by. "'What for!' d.niand'td the captain. "Well, they say it's Christmas day, and they think we have wastetl enough ammunition.' "Looking over the edge of our breastworks, I saw that the enemy's line was scarcely a hun dred yards away, and along its ragged edge were ranged thirty or forty heads of the Confederate soldiers, our own line being alive owing to the implied truce. "'Say, Yanks,' critd a tall, sun bin tied Southerner, 'what did yer hev for jer Christmas dinner?' "'Turkey, apple sauce, cake and raisins,' replied one of the men at my elbow. "'That sounds like old times. 1 didn't know there were any tur keys nowadays. Say, Yanks, hev yer anything over ?' "With one common impulse half a dozen men sprang to the top of the embankment, their hands full of good things. "'Come over!' shouted a cor poral, who stood at the elbow of the entrenchment. 'Guess we've got enough left to give some of you a Christmas dinner.' "Three men in butternut clam bored over their earthwoiks and met our men as they advanced over the debatable ground between the lines. To our .surprise, the Feder als came back with a good supply of tobacco, which was quickly dis tributed. "'Say, Yanks,' called the Con federate who hatl opeued the con versation, 'we uns wish 30 i-uus a merry Christmas!' "Same to you !' we all shouted back, and there was no more shot or shell along that part ot the line for the remainder of the day."
