The world lenowned Historic bell of Philadelphia, whih.soun ded the tocsin note of American Freedom, manhood and Nation ality on July 4th, 1776, and which was rent while being toled in 1835 when the mortal remains of-the great Constitution expounder Chief Justice John Marshall were in Philadelphia en route to Vir ginia for enterment, and known as Liberty Bell received the gran dest ovation while in transit from Philidelphia, on a special train with the Mayor and escort via, Washington, Richmond, Lynch burg, Bristol, Knoxville, Chatta nooga and Rome, ever received 'by any inaminate object. It stop ped over Sunday night in Knox ville and the people went wild to obtain a sight of it and spread flowers on it. At every place, every village and hamlet along the route as well as the large cities the people flocked en masse to see the grandest most sacred relic in the world. Eighty mill ion people doing homage to an old broken bell. Why? Because it means Human Freedom and Human Liberty and Peaoe to the World. The following history of the Bell will be of interest to our Liberty loving, North Carolinians who first rocked the cradle at Mecklenburg. V "The old bell was first cast in Whitechapel, London, and weigh ed 2080 pounds, and was received in Philadelphia August, 1752. On its first trial it was cracked by a stroke of its tongue. It was then recast twice, the last time June, 1752 by Mr. Isaac Norris, who very probably suggested the in scription 'Proclaim Liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof.' Imme diately beneath this were the words: By order of the assem bly of the province of Pennsyl vania for the State house in Phil adelphia and under this 'Pass and Stow, Phil. N. D. C. L. M. In 1777 the old bell made a trip to the country 'for its health' and when Philadelphia was occupied by the British it was sent to Lan caster, Pa. After its return to Philadelphia it was used as the statehouse bell until 1828, when a large one was needed, for the 'City of Brotherly Lovehad growed a good deal since the old colonial days. On the morning of July 8, 1835, while being tolled iu memory of Chief Justice Marshall again it cracked. Tho Louisville Times in dis coursing about those two lovely Democrats, Boyd, Winchester and Wm. J. Atherton the author of 7 high and deuce low without a pair to beat 4s, who both, wrote cards advising the Democrats to vote against Hardin saj-s, anent the Evening Post: "Having utterly failed, after most strenuous and costly en deavor, to secure circulation among Democrats, tho Knott Atherton Post is now playing ev ery card in its hand or up its sleeve for the Republican jack pot Poker players inform us that it takes four aces and an ax handle to beat "an Atherton," and the Congressional Record bears witness that a Fernando Wood and a Bob Schenck com bined stand no show against "a Winchester." HOW TIME3 AND THINGS DO CHANGE. Patronicus smiled; the geese gabled; Rome howled; Marie An toinette broke her shoe string, broke down in body, and dis gusted and heart sick of the splendors of a wonderfully fast life to be a good Queen, sought surcease and ease sir by donning the habiliments of a milk maid in the first throes ot dairydom and milched cows at Trianon. So are the good sweet people of the world giving way under their self administered weight of woe. Solomon san pleasantly of his downfall, or if not actual down fall in our understanding of the term, at least in his own folly of follies, of which but few good boys of our day have not also seen; yea, even experienced some of the railties, and thus by these slow but sure degrees hath the world and its exemplars come to know that what was is not per se proper and that therefore old ideas must be upsot or sot up (to be knocked down) and nothing but new ideas and methods must prevail. Many an old Methodist and Baptist quit their church when the organ was introduced. And there was consternation and amazement when the cornet was introduced into the church with solos Now we have the hitherto non-interfering Episcopalians in the General Convention of the church at Minneapolis altering the old established canons and trying to change the name of the church to that of the "Holy Cath olic church," and passing resolu tions anent the Governor and Legislature of Texas for their action in legislating against prize fighting, etc. There may be "nothing new under the sun," but there are a whole lot of things which are very different from what they were when we were a boy. It appears that Muldrow and Briggs and Quiggs and Griggs and Crouse and all dissenters or deserters or heretics will find the band wagon in their procession before the end of the journey or Jour dan is crossed. NOT A POPULIST. There is some mistake about a statement going the rounds of the press to the effect that it was a North Carolina Fusion Populist in the last Legislature who made the following remarks. It was a member of the New South Wales Parliament who made this speech. Said he. "Mr. Speaker; my colleague taunts me with a desire for fame. I scorn the imputation, sir! Fame sir! What is fame? It is a shaved pig with a greased tail, which slips through the hands of thous ands and then is accidentally caught by some lucky fellow who happens to hold on to it. I let the greasy-tailed quadruped go by me without an effort to clutch it, sir!" There has been such a long droughth and which has extend ed not only throughout the Uni ted States but in all cereal pro ducing countries of the world, that the maze or corn crops have been cut off 15 per cent from what the indications on the 1st of Sept. were that it would be. Hence corn and other cereals will be more scarce than was expected they could be and hence the price ;vill be higher. There was no rain in this section from the 5th of Sept. until last Monday the 7th of Oct. There was no rain just at the time when corn was maturing and as a consequence the ears are not so large and the grain is smaller. It did not fill out. JThis is particularly so with the grain at the end of the ear. Unless compelled to do so now is not the time to sell. The voter mow inflates bis head And marches to and fro. For. like the hanchty thoroughtred. lie's registered, you know. LouisTllle Times PEARLS FROn MUSSEL SHELLS. A new industry has recently been developed in East Tennessee which is yeilding considerable profit on no outlay of capital and which can no doubt be duplicated in many parts of North Carolina. It is tb.9 finding of pearls in mus sel shells gathered in Clinch river and nearly all the streams in East Tennessee. Speaking about it recently the Knoxville Tribune had this to say: Pearl hunting is not only a pleasant pastime, but a profitable industry in East Tennessee. Not until within the past few months has there been any systematic effort made to gather them, the people being content to accident ally find one and give it away or sell it for a trifle. Now it is different, and there are about twenty men in this re gion who spend all their time along the streams in search of the jewels. There have been some of the finest pearls in existence taken from East Tennessee waters, one of which was recently sold in Paris for $300. Recently we were in Knoxville and went into the jewelry store of W. M. Curtis and saw a magnifi cent array of these pearls. He had them mounted in all kinds of styles as scarf pins and shirt studs etc. and unmounted. They are a strange freak in nature. No two of them are exactly alike. Curtis buys them from the people who gather them from the streams and he sells them to the trade and also' by retail. They range in price mounted from $1.50 to $500.00. The same kind of mussels are in the streams of North Carolina. With two little children subject to croup we do not rebt easy without a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in the house, for the most severe at tacks quickly succumb to a few doses of it. Morrison, Colo., Bud. For sale at 25 and 50 cents per bottle by O. M. Royster, Druggist. 40-4t Tennessee is preparing to cele brate next year the hundreth an niversary of her admission to the Union. She is an older State than Ohio, followiug only Ver mont and Kentuckey among the States brought in since the adop tion of the Constitution. She was formed out of territory ceded to the United States by North Carolina in 1789, and conveyed by the Senators of the later State in 1790. Her people ap plied for admission early in 1796, and the act admitting her was ap proved June 1 of that year, so fixing the date for her centenary on June 1st 1896. Tennessee has given three Presidents to' the Union, a very large share, but we do not find a fourth in .sight just now. AREGULAfgR Are you taking Snmoxs Liver Reg ulator, the "King op Liver "Medi cines?" That is what our readers want, and nothing but that. It S the same old friend to which the old folks pinned their faith and were never dis appointed. But another good recom mendation for it is, that it is better than Pills, never gripes, never weak ens, mt works in such an easy and natural way, just like nature itself, that relief comes quick and sure, and one feels new all over. It never fails. Everybody needs take a liver remedy, and everyone should take only Sim mons Liver Regulator. lie sure you get it. The Red Z is on the wrapper. J. II. Zeilin & Co., Philadelphia. K SIMMON S W&M Cotton comes awful near still being King. That is to say, in the commercial world. During late years it has slightly lost some prestige in this line. This has not been due to cotton, but to the people who "raised" or "growed" or "made cotton " The people of the South get so much money for their cotton whether large or small crop, if the staple and grade is the same. We found this out when we ploughed on our father's plantation in Alabama in 1866 and made six bales of cotton to our own share and took the proceeds to make a lawver instead f a preacher, against our father's wish. "No stain and long staple' or "fibre," is the main considera tion for cotton growers to know and fully understand and thor oughly conform to. This re quires good land good cultiva tion during 13 mouths in each year and 4 months growing of the crop and a short one at that and there you are with 8 cents a pound. Seven cents is too low, but 9 cents is too high. Our fath er got broke making cotton at 9 cents. Then and now are two different times. "Yaller" and all other kinds of "Calliker" are now selling at 4 and 5 cents per yard. The best not higher than 7 cents. In the days of 9 cent cotton when it cost 11 to 13 cents to make it calico sold for 10 to 12 J cents per yard. Now the question is, if cotton were to go to 10 cents per pound would you want to give 9 and 10 cents per yard for your calico? You are just as much compelled, in a small sense of the way or sense of the small way to have calico at 5 cents per yard, as the Cotton Factory peo ple are to have cotton at 7 and 8 cents per pound, s We started out to sav some thing about a beautifully got- j prepared book on the Cotton Movement andFluctuation,which was prepared at considerable ex pense for Latham, Alexander & Co., of New York. But taking the turn we have we print their letter in another place. We are in receipt of the second copy of Bulletin No 117 of the North Carolina Aggricultural and Experiment Station at Raleigh, on the subject of ''Tuberculosis and Its Prevention." Every school teacher, farmer, Doctor, Health officer, Cattle raiser, and in fact every person ought to have a copy of this Bulletin. You can get it by writing to Dr H. B. Battle, the Director, at Haleigh. It treats of Tuberculosis in all domestic animals, especially of tho bovine family and shows, from experiment?" how it may be determined and how it may be eradicated. It is a decidedly important public document. SPECIAL SARS&iMS In Special Xiots. SALE COFMENCES THURSDAY, SEPT.
