A Brooklyn minister says there are 700,000 people in that city who do not go to church, from which it may be inferred that the churches of that town are not as attractive as the beer gardens, etc. A friend of Alfred Beit, of South Africa, says that he is worth a billion dollars, roughly estimated, but that he may be worth much more. "No one," says the friend, 'knows how many barrels of dia monds he and Rhodes have salted away to kepp the market steady." It is estimated that the gold out put of the South African mines this year will fall off about $25,- 000,000. This may reduce the total gold output to $325,000,000. But even at that the production will be more than $100,000,000 greater than the average annual production of the last ten years. The New York World says the administration has been rushing the pension claims of the Spanish war veterans to the neglect of the clams of the civil war veterans, the idea being to get the younger claim ants to vote right. The World savs 50,000 claims of soldiers and heirs of the civil war have thus been sidetracked, and intimates that the scheme was invented by Mark Hanna. War being at an end in Cuba and Porto Rico the process of industrial restoration is already well under way. The extent to which trade has revived is indicated in the Treasury report of commercial sta tistics for September, which shows that our imports from Cuba, Porto Rico Hawaii and the Philippines for the first nine months of 1899 reached $53,273,224 as against $34,471,224 for the same period in 1898, and $33,059,105 for the same period in 1897. The increase is almost whollv from Cuba and Porto Rico, as there has been yery little change in trade conditions with Hawaii within the time men tioned, and the unsettled condition of the Philipines is not conducive to great commercial activity.

The same prophet tells little Mac for his comfort that he Jeter will hand over North Caro lina (for that is his meaning) to him in 1900. But he won't.

When democrats protest against the forcible seizure of territory as a violation of the declaration of in dependence, they are told that Jefferson himself violated it. This statement is not correct. Louisiana was purchased as an act of necessity, and the law of self preservation justifies any measure. But we do not need the Philippines for our self preservation. Alleghany Star. A colored individual was tried in Buncombe criminal court last week for stealing cigars. The eyidence showed that the defendant had stolen cheroots. Judge Stevens hld that a cheroot is not a cigar and as the bill of indictment charged the larceny of cigars the defendant was discharged. This is a pretty fine distinction and brings to mind the question, "When do a pup become a dog ?" and "When do a pig be come a hog ?" Statesville Land mark. Congressman Linney said in his Statesville speech recently that upon taking up the election law to study it he began to pray, but by the time he had finished the read ing he was a cussin' like, well like judge can do when he throws his soul into it.

One item of evidence of the un- hus band-like conduct of Dr. Buf falo as brought out in the trial was that he was neyer seen to draw his wife to his bossom in affectionate embrace. From this we married men may draw the the conclusion that it is not best to be so overmod est as to be always behind the cur tain when the sweetheart impulses are noil furgotten. Concord Stand ard. Senator Butler and Senator Pritch- ard stand on the same platform now regarding the constitutional amendment to be voted upon in the the coming election in North Caro lina. Senator Butler comes out flat-footed and goes over bag and baggage to the Repubhcian camp. "I shall take the stump in North Carolina against the proposed suf frage amendment to the constitu tion," said Senator Butler. "The Populists have not thus far ex pressed themselves on the subject and have held aloof from the con test. I do not see how I can con sistently remain silent while the issue is being fought out, and therefore shall work to defeat the amendment. Senator Butler's ambition is un bounded. His course last vear was such, that he failed to gain the confidence of the white fnsionisfs even, and now his only chance is to join rrienard and his company of negroes and those whites who can be deceived and influenced by such as mtchard. It is true that it is a forlorn hope; vet it is his nnlv chance. It is this or retirement from public life. He can still HkP a gnat get some attention by his annoying appearance which will like gnats, soon cease or, if con tinued from time to ti mp- will fin but little harm. Senator Butler and Pritchard will not much longer misrepresent JN orth Carolina. Salis bury Index. The organization of a tobacco growers association comes none too soon. The avericious trust has rob bed the farmers of North Carolina who grow tobacco of millions of dollars. Unless something can be done to step their devilish greed and curtail their rascally operations of robbery, the tobacco growers may as well make up their minds to stand the fleecing year after year or as one man to abandon the crop. Farmers who grow cotton and tobacco must know that a fail ure to cultivate these crops for two or three years would knock the bottom out of the tobacco trust and make cotton sell for 10 or 12 cents. But this will not be done. How else will the robbers be stop ped in their outrages against the farmers ? Wilmington Messenger.

The wonderful success of S. S. S. in curing obstinate, deep-seated blood diseases which were considered incurable, induced a few de spairing sufferers to try it for Cancer, after exhausting the skill of the physicians without a cure. Much to their delight a. S. S. proved equal to the disease and promptly effected a cure. The glad news spread rapidly, ana it was soon demonstrated beyond doubt that a cure had at last been found for deadly Cancer. Evidence has accu mulated which is incontrovertible, of which the following is a specimen : "Cancer ia hereditary in our family, my father, a . sister and an aunt having died from this dreadful disease. My feelings may be imagined when the hor rible disease made its appearance on my side. It was a malignant Cancer, eating inwardly in such a way as to cause great alarm. The disease seemed beyond the skill of the doctors, for their treatment did no good whatever, the Cancer growing worse all the while-. Numerous remedies were used for it. but the Cancer grew steadily worse, until it seemed that I was doomed to follow the others of the family, for I know how deadly Cancer is, especially when inherited. I was advised to try Swift's Specific (S. S. S.), which, from the first day, forced out the poison. I continued its use until I had taken eighteen bottles, when I was cured sound and well, and have had no symptoms of the dreadful affliction, though many years have elapsed. S. S.
