C, AUGUST 12,1891 KEEPING OPEN AT NIGHT Thk Visitor has had right much to nay on the subject of early closing in the past and we propose to keep it up so long as we see the unnecessary hardship and privation being inflic ted upon the entire mercantile com munity that is being born by the merchants and their employees. We say unnecessary, because it is unnes sary and unprofitable. The only people who reap the profits of the night mercantile business are the gas and electric light people, and we might add, the Standard Oil Co. There may be a few of the smaller stores which use cheap oil that do not burn all their night profits, but if the custom was to close at a rea sonable hour, the same amount of business would be done, so that by early closing even they would lose nothing by it. This latter class may do their own business without much help and may claim that the only confinement they inflict is upon them selves, but this is not correct, for by their keeping open, those who do em ploy help feel that they must keep open in self defence. They are there by the obstructors of early closing. They do it doubtless without this in tention, but the result is the same. A merchant said to us recently we would like to continue to close early, but such and such houses keep open and we shall be compelled to keep oeen too, to prevent our trade from being diverted. So that those who decline to close early are responsible for keep ing confined in the stores in various capacities two or three hundred per sons from 12 to 15 hours each day. Recently a lady in the city, in con versation with a merchant on the subject, remarked upon the hardships upon so many and that in other cities they closed all business at an early lour, &c. The merchant replied, oh, that might do for small towns but not for a city like Baleigh. Well, she re plied that may be bo, but in Wash ington City they close at five and six o'clock, in Baltimore about the same .hour in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and about the same also in Richmond, Ta., Louisville, Ky., and other towns of as many as half a million of inhab itants. As a matter of mercy, to the employees in the stores who are con fined so long, with no time for recre ation and self improvement, the peo ple who patronize our merchants, ought to aid in this greatly needed jefornj by declining to purchase late. Dudley Thought Aloud. The habit of talking aloud was a peculiarity of one of the Earls of Dudley, and of this habit an amusing anecdote is told in the Sheffield Tele graph. Lord Dudley, being invited to the house of a friend, had ordered liis carriage at an early hour, having some miles to travel before he could obtain his accustomed repose To his mortification, after repeated inquiries for Lord Dudley's carriage, it had not arrived. One of the guests, seeing how much his lordship was disconcerted by the event, very politely offered him a seat in his. The gentleman in question had to pass his lordship's house on his re tarn home, and, though he was al most a stranger to Lord Dudley, his rank and position in the country -were, of course, well known to him. Heverthelesc, fi,ey had not been I that $96,000 was ample, bat the Heated in 11m MtrrUtf more than I "friendliee" want $300,000. They twenty minutes when the eer, who J have evidently become civilized had up to that moment maintained a most perfect silence, observed iu a low but distinctly audible toue of voice: "I'm very sorry I accepted his offer. I don't know the man. It was civil, certainly; but the worst is, I suppose, I must ask him to dinner." He then relapsed into his former state of taciturnity, when, after a few minutes, the gentleman, pretending to be afflicted with the name failing and imitating his lordship's tone ob served : "Perhaps he'll think 1 did it to make his acquaintance. Why, 1 would have done the same to any farmer on estate. I hope he won't think it necessary so ask me to dim ner, for I shaut accept his iuvita tion." Lord Dudley listened to him with earncstinterest, immediately compre hending the joke which he himself had provoked, offered his hand with much hearty good will to his com panion, making every proper apology for his involuntary rudeness, and from that night the travelers became inseparable friends. She Swallowed Her False Teeth Bkthlkhkm, N. H., Aug. 9 Miss Mary Oorniau, of New Haven, Conn., who is at the Highland, fainted yes terday morning and while in the faint swallowed a silver plate with seven teeth attached to it. The plate lodged about half way from the mouth to the stomach. Dr. Marsh, after much difficulty, located the obstruction with a silver "sound," but was unable to reach it with any forceps at his command. Taking a silver sound twelve inches long the doctor curved its point, and inserted it in the tesophagus. He managed to hook it into the plate and after much exertion he extracted the teeth. The laceration of the throat was comparatively slight and the result ing hemorrhage was easily stopped. The operation was preformed by the doctor unaided and no anwsathetic was used. The case is unparalleled in the re cords of surgery. A Novel Explosion. At Moulton, Ala, John Sivtrly purchased a pound of powder, a pair of shoes and a new tin pan. He put the powder and shoes in the pan, set the pan in the back of his wagon where the sun shone directly on it, and started for home. He was not smoking, and no fire was a bout the wagon, but a mile out of town the powder exploded, knocking him out of the wagon, almost tearing his clothes off and burning him terribly about the face and body. The bright tin pan had acted as a sun glass to concentrate the rays of the sun to a focus on the powder, hence the novel explosion. Ex. It Saves Steam and Wood. The Concord Standard says: "A steam condenser was put in the Can" non factory last week while the mills were closed down for the boiler in spection. By this new arrangement there is no noise made by the steam, and the steam is condensed and turn ed back into the pond with the other water. It also saves about a ton of coal per day, and one man fires the engine whereas it took two before. An Iredell Farmer's Views. Charlotte News. Riding along a country road with an Iredell farmer, this morning, The News got it straight that this hot weather is going to continue until well into September. The crops about Iredell are tolerably fair but anything like a full cotton crop can not possibly be made. This hot dry weather is bringing up the average of the cotton crop and decreasing the average of the corn crop. Special Agent Cooper, of the in. terier department, is attempting to settle with the friendly Indians for the damage done them by the hos tiles durincr the recent unrisinc at Pine Ridge Agency.
