And there is a good side to almost every mis fortune. Old age baa its privileges and sickness its compensations. I know that my family loved me, bat I did not realize how much until this lingering attack required nursing and night watching and they had to sit up with ma and comfort me as I sat in a chair and struggled for breath. Breath, more breath, was what I wanted and I could not got it lying down. I thought of the last verse that David ever wrote. "Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord." . All during my long illness I have had three trained nurses my wife and two daughters, and two married daughters and a granddaughter besides on the relief corps, d they have been o watchful, so willing and so good. The oldest of the nurses has been in train ing for fifty years and has spent all her married life in nursing and training others and knows Just what to do and when to do it. What would a 'large family do without a good old mother? But at last the girls had to force her to go up stairs where she could sleep with out hearing my cough that was wear ing out the bronchial tubes and the larynx and the epiglottis and the Scylla and Charybdis and other mysterious organs. And I had good doctors, . too. who diagnosed me twice a day ana sounded mv heart with their telephone tubes and thumped my chest and beat my stomach and lookerLat my tongue and ran the handle of a spoon down my throat and gagged me and prized open my eyelids and timed my pulse and then wrote a long list of prescrip tions that broke a drug store and made up a menu of what I should eat and what I should drink, and then confided me to the trained nurses to carry out tne programme. , I was as humble as a wet dog; for the truth is I was alarmed and so was my wife and children. I didn't see how they could get along without me, but I am better now, and for three nights have slept in my bed and recovered my breath and only lack strength, and am gaining that. It is worth being sick to have such nursing and find so many friends who sympathize and wish me to get well. It pleases me, to have them call and cheer me with their presence, but my doctors say, "Don't you talk- much. Let them do the talking. You have no breath to spare.'' And every mail brings such good, kind, loving letters from all over the Sunny South and some from Ohio and Illinois and Iowa. They humble me and cause me to wonder what I have done to my peo ple all these years that brings me such benedictions. Yes, I call them my people, for now I am a patriarch, and even children write to me and call me grandpa. I have been too sick to an swer all these letters and could only reply by proxy, but I will answer them when I get well. 1 am writing this to thank them all and to say that I believe my heavenly Father has given me an other lease and I shall continue for a while longer to make a weekly visit to the homes and hearts of our ueoDle. There is another good thing about a protracted illness. It gives a man such a good opportunity, to. look back, to ponder and ruminate. His helpless ness makes him humble and humility makes him kind. Eight now I love everybody, except some. A I believe I could love Teddy if he would retract and apologize. He ought to do that if he expects any peace of mind. A letter from Blue Mountain College, Missis sippi, begs me to write him and ask him not to visit that state until he does retract, and says the bears have had a convention and resolved to keep in their dens when he comes. I thought he was a pretty fair speaker, but a mend of mine heard him at Asheville the other day and says he acts like a bull in breeches and cavorts all round and threshes his arms and shakes his legs and twists up his nose and mouth and slobbers out bis worjls, but he don't retract. - ' , ' .-- But this irenough about Teddy." Let us turn him over to the tender mercv of Dr. Wharton, who told us why he was shy of his mother's state and peo ple. Bill Ahp. Democrat tviave Four fflonlk School Term.

Joseph's Catholic Church tells this good story about Hey, Dr. Temple: . Before the recent rains, when the earth was parched, the roads dusty and rough and the crops foiling Father Templo thought it became the church to pray for rain, and so one Sunday morning he gave notice that at Die mass be would say a prayer for nun. and asked the people to respond in their silent devotions. Bitting well up in the congregation was a worthy farm er and his aged wife. When the aiv nouncement was made she nudged her husband, and in a whisper loud enough to be heard by those around, but not by the priest, asked: 'Trip, do we want rainT" "No, no, Bally Ann," he replied; I've got 5,000 pounds of blades down and we don't want rain until they are fit to haul in." The old lady refused to respond, and the rain did not come, despite Father Temple's intercession, until the farmer's blade fodder was out of the way I - Borne years ago a local preacher of tome celebrity preached in llroad Creek Neck.' He essayed to quote tome scripture, but got the text wrong, and said: "It your right arm offend you pluck it out, and if your light eye offend you cut it off." Reny Lam- more, the- wit of the neighborhood, exclaimed: "Darn it, the man must think we've got crab eyes down here I" Rev. Henry R. Calloway, now dead, used to tell a story of i Methodist preacher in Chapel district, himself somewhat of a wag, who had an infant to baptize in the church. "Name this child," taid the preacher, and the father replied: "John James Augustus Andrew Manship." , "WhatT" "John James Augustus Andrew Manship." The preacher wrote the name dona, word by word, and going to the bap tismal font, a ten basin, he looked in it and, calling the sexton, said: "Bill Scott, go get tome more water; there ain't mor'n half enough here to bap tize thit baby In." - Rev. Dr. James F. Chaplain's story of his baptismal experience on the Eastern Shore of Virginia is a 'good one. One Sunday Dr. Chaplain, then presiding elder, preached in a little country school house. He was asked to go in the afternoon to the house of a farmer where there were about a dozen unbaptized children and christen them. He went. It was a little honse surrounded by a big corn field. He saw no children, nobody but the farmer and his wife. "Where are the chil dren to be baptized T" Dr. Chaplain asked. The father taid they were scat tered about somewhere, and sent a man servant out to look them up, After a long while the man returned, dragging with him by the hand one little weeping kid. "Where are the others T" demanded the father. "Please, sah," was the answer, "dis is de onhest one I could ketch!" In the days when the brethren had more respect for a rumseller than for a college-taught preacher the Philadel phia Conference sent into one of the rural districts of Talbot county as the Junior preacher a finely educated and eloquent young man. He preached his nrst sermon in one of the neck churches and was entertained that night at the house of a gentleman of means and culture. After supper the conversation turned to the sermon. The host praised the sermon, but told the preacher he feared it was above the heads of his audience, that he used words the people did not know. . "For instance, , he said, "several times you made use of the word felicity. Had you said happiness you -would have been understood. There were not a dozen in your, congregation who ever heared the word felicity before." The preacher expressed his surprise and doubt. The host called in one of his hired men whom he had observed at the service. "John, do you know what felicity means?" he asked "Sar tinly I does, sir." "Well, what is it?" John scratcheiKhis head. "Well, I can't desplain it perzactly, but it's something inside of a hawg!" - Saw Lincoln Knot.- High Point, Sept. 23. Mrs. Folwell. wife of Mr. T. S.

' ' While a great deal is taid all over the country of the marvelous growth of the manufacturing industry in the South, it cannot be doubted that the Southern people do not get the full amount of credit for this development that is due. There is a somewhat ex agge rated estimate of the volume of capital which the North has invested in the South. The Sun today pub. Iisbes a letter from Judge B. M. Doug las, of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, to Mr. Charles C, Homer, of this city, which contradicts the theory that the north hat built the factories of the South. At the close of the recon struction period the South was crushed and bankrupt But there was an in exhaustible quantity of raw material and every condition which invited the investment of capital. Judge Douglass tayt there was a general expectation that the North would tend capital to the south to- develop the great re sources. The South had the bulk of the cotton of the world. Why should it be tent to Europe or the North to be manufactured into fabrics and brought back for the use of the Southern peo ple, when it was. perfectly feasible to manufacture it at home? In the States of the Confederacy stretching from the Potomac to the Bio Grande there is one-half of the standing tim ber of the United States. Why should it be sent North to be . manufactured into furniture and brought back South? If all other conditions were equal there would be no good reason why the man ufacturing should not be done in the South, if nothing were to be saved bat the freight. 'But in the South the climate is more favorable for manu facturing, the necessaries of life and all the expenses of living are cheaper than in the North, and this makes la bor cheaper. The Southern people understood these advantages, and as soon as they began to recover from the war and reconstruction they ap plied their energies and their capital to developing the resources pf the South. One of the greatest needs of the South was skilled labor. The negroes had never learned that kind of work, and free white labor could not exist with slave labor. Therefore, when the industrial South began, the movement was greatly impeded by the lack of the educated .mechanics and operatives who have made the North so prosper ous. Judge Douglas, in his letter, gives a striking illustration of the money value of education, including technical education. He shows that the South hu turned its attention to this subject, and tells what has been accomplished by the technical schools which have grown-up in recent years. ibis letter to Air. Homer is worth a careful perusal, for it tells the story of the South'! industrial beginning and progress.. ; ,:, -.;y , :.-,r . , " ! rroaleta Bn of WerU h Philadelphia, Sept. 22. Rev. : Dr. C. H. Woolston, of the East Baptist Church, Kensington, has just preached a sermon predicting the end of the. Dr. Woolston has, however, placed the arrival of cha os 20 years hence. which is certainly a good margin and gives sinners time to repent. The Doc tor is a large man, with muttonchop whiskers, and the reverse of a sensation monger in appearance. In his sermon he took for his text a portion of the third verse of the sixteenth chapter of Matthew: "But can ye not discern the signs of the times?" In part he said: - "Let us note a few of the signs of the times which are signs of the coming end : First, the great internal demon strationsearthquakes, - tidal . waves and the like. They are forerunners of the end. When -Mount Pelee sent out its wave of death it was the beginning of the widespread seismic disturbances. Every .. country except Australia dur ing the last few years hat had volcanio disturbances and internal . disorders. This has been more widespread than ever before. . It is the sign of the end. "then, again, it is written that th Gospel shall .be preached to all the earth. This work has been well-nigh completed. - There are 300 missionary societies and 62,000 missionaries at wore in foreign fields. Within five years every point in China will have been reached. Within sevea years the remotest corner of Africa will hear the Gospel. In 20 years from now the Gospel will have peen preached to every creature." ; .' . Dr. Woolston then launched in to a tirade against the Coal Trust, and said that 13 men fixed the price per ton, and we must pay for it or freeze. Other trusts come iin for a share of his indignation, and he also denounced the Socialists and infidels. He said that all these things are declared by Scripture to be the beginning of the end. Rev.

PBITCIIABira REOOBD III BLACK AND WHITE. News and Observer. Senator Pritchard wants the support of the voters of North Carolina. Senator Pritchard has a record. Senator Pritchard voted against the first bill to pension disabled Confederate soldiers in the Legislature of 1885. . -Senator Pritchard is ihe author of the deserter bill. Senator Pritchard tayt the Demo cratic administration has been extrav agant. ' ' , The voters of North Carolina do not forget, They are normal. They have memories. The voter of North Carolina hold very dear those old veterans of '65. The voters of North Carolina have pensioned them because they revered them, and at a sacrifice to themselves. The voter of North Carolina hold very low in the scale the deaerta from the cause of the southland. Yet Senator Pritchard wants and asks for the support of the voters of North Carolina I The cheek of it I (Excuse the slang; it is to expressive at times). It is like unto that of a brass monkey. What a gall the man has I What a cheerful nerve I The man who voted against the first bill to pension disabled Confederate sol diers actually fathers the bill to pension the deserters. Consistency, where is thy biashT uomment is unnecessary. It would be a relief to cuss. The man who wants to spend $140,- 000,000 pensioning union soldiers and deserters refusing to give one cent to the decrepid heroes who struggled through hunger, cold, want, disease and wounds out of pure devotion to cause and country. And not only did he not want to eive a helping hand to the old comrades tottering to the grave, and not only does he want to pension deserters, but he turns round, too, and calls the demo crats extravagant. That record of Pritchard a is no mat ter or hearsay. It is down in black and white, and this reporter has teen it and reproduces it as follows: - The House Journal for the seven teenth day of the session of 1885, Fri day, January 23, records that upon the question of the adoption of the amend ment of Mr. Thompson to stand as sec tion 2 of the bill, Mr. Busbee de manded ayes and noes. In the vote that followed Mr. Pritchard't name does not appear. The Journal says after the announcement of the' vote: "Mr. Lockey has leave of the house to explain his vote; he asked to be ex cused from voting, and the house re fuses to excuse him. The members of the minority who abstained from vot ing under the call for the ayes and noes are required on a calf by the house to vote as they are called; on motion of Mr. Glenn, the doors of the hall are closed by the door-keeper to prevent withdrawals from the hall to avoid the act of voting." The News and Observer of Saturday, January 25, 1885, in its report of the house proceeding of the previous day, says in reference to this vote: . "At the conclusion of the roll-call and before the vote was announced, Mr. Overman called the attention of the House to the fact that there seemed to be some dodging on the part of the republican members, and they were then allowed to vote, which : they did, many of them trying their utmost not to vote." ' ' According to the journal, the bill is taken., up again on Friday, January 30th, and passed on its second reading, the vote being 86 to 13. S Among the thirteen noes occurs the ' name "Pritchard." . On Tuesday, February 3rd, the bill came up on its third reading. The ayes and noes were called by Mr. Hen derson and the name of Pritchard again appears in the list of noes. - It is recorded that he explained his vote. . Senator Pritchard, with the other re publicans, seemed to have tried to dodge the vote, until he saw it was no use. , And the door-keeper had to be called upon to close the doors, to help the dodgers from escaping. ; v . How nice it would be for some pohu. ans, if there were no , records. But there are. There is no escaping them. They are deadly some times. Ls tr a Dnami Conoord Time. " Mr. Jones H. Shepherd, of Rowan county, was here last Monday with a lot of extra large Indian arrow heads, which he was selling at 25 cents each. Mr. Shepherd found these a(l in a pile in a branch the banks of which were about four feet deep. They had evidently been buried many years ago by the Indians and washed up by the many rains since. The strange thing about this find is that Mr. Shepherd dreamed for several successive nights that he would find the arrow heads in the exact spot where he did find them.
