Just aoacon as tbe law is treated with contempt in one plaoeitwill be so treated in ad. The law is the safeguard to life aad proper ty. To defy it means anarchy and re bellion aad should be treated as such. When to Kill Boge. One of the moat aucoeaaful farmers in Jones county writes about the proper time to kill hogs. The present season baa been so unusual 1 j warm that many fanners have delayed putting up their pork. For the benefit of those we give tbe statement s rent us : "Kill on any good day. Djn't wait for the meat to cool, but begin cutting up as soon aa you are doce killing. Rub plenty of salt in tha meat; lay the meat ski a dowa, each piece separate, not one piece on another. Sprinkle more salt on. top' of each piees, and aa the liasal heat oomee out the salt will go in. Next morning a puddle of fr will be on each pleoe; then pack up with more aalt and roar meat will oare." Oyster Pirates Seised A latter from Mr. J. C.

The-toidy of Master Edward Ward , son of i)t. E. W. Ward, of Onslow county, was brought down on the train Wednesday and taken in a heme from here to the borne of the family. Young Ward, who attended Davis School, cid st La Grange Tuesdsy afternoon, after a short illness, aged about fifteen years. Tbe body was accompanied by Dr. Ward, bis wife end daughters. On ac count of the sickness in tbe school and town, tbe school has suspended. There have been several deaths in the town recently from mening.tia. Messrs. Joe Duguid and Noma Nana, of this city. returned last night, and six others whose bomoe are in this section of tbe State- came down also. It was feared that tbe meningitis might become epi- demio, and it was thought beet by tbe principal of the school to auspaad. From the Baltimore Sun. Ibis able aad newsy Southern daily speaks a word for our Fair, which will open In about two weeks, ana under what now promises moet favorable aus pices: mThbNW Bxasx Fair. The enter prising business men of New Berne, N. C, are bestirring themselves to make a grand success of tbe third annual ex hibit of the East North Carolina Fish, Oyster, "Game and Industrial Expo sition, to open February 24 and con tinue until March 1. New and elegant buildings have been erected, and eleo trio lights have been introduced throughout the buildings and grounds. - varieUee or. flan and oysters fonad in North Carolina waters will bo on exhibition, and live fiah will dieplaysd in a mammoth glass aqusrium. Tbe fish and oyster collection is to be unexcelled. The display of game will be large, and the flee breeds of lire stock snd poultry will Drove a great attraction. In addi-1 Uoa there will be a fine exhibit of ladies' handiwork of all kinds, fancy and slain, paintings, crayons, etc On Tuesday there will be a military parade, and Wednesday will be Alliance day. Altogether the Fair promises to mi orsdit to Eastern North Carolina and an oocaa km of unusual iniereet." A Xodal Farm Is there any need of the young men of North Carolina emigrating A visit to the track and stock farm of Msasrs. Hackbnrn ft Willett, near New Bars a, will answsr tbs question, and we ..have no doubt of its baing in ths negative. These gentlemen have under cultiva tion all tbe varieties of truck but give special attention to potatoes and cab bage and tba raising of fine stock. On both sldffof tbe long avenue leading to the grove are vast fields of potatoes, about two hundred acree in all. In an adjoining field they have sixty acree in nibbage from three to five inches high aad growing nioelj. Other fields sre clothed in rich green grasses, clover, timothy, etc., from whiih they pasture and harvest large quantities of bay for their horses, cattle and sheep, The stock farm and stables are all neatly painted and arranged in tbe beat of order for convenience. A larpe wind ill furniahes a continual supply cf fresh and pure water which is con veyed through under-ground pipes to all the stock buildings, feed houses, etc In a separate building is a machine for cutting up turnips which are steamed and then seasoned with bran and plsced in a large vat for fermenta tion, after which it is ready for the stock. Their blooded cattle are the Holeteins very beautiful and hne milkers. About1 forty sre milked twice a dsy, giving ech from three to five gallons. Tbe hogs are the Poland-China, which we are informed will be exhibited at our Fair. Everything about the farm denotsa enterprise. Wire fences, clean ditch banks, no atumpa or hedge rows, im proved farming utensils and they all keot in place under shelter, when not is nee. ' Mr. Geo. Collins is tbe super latendentof the farm. He is an Eng liahman and on his countenance la nlainlr delineated the word "stir i Hs can aafely be put do as a live man. Meters. Hackbnrn K Willett were verr clever in snowing us arounu There is progress in the land. Bids for the Cutter. From the Baltimore Sun we find the following item relative to tbe new rev enue cutter which is to be stationed at New Berne: "Bids were yesterday opened at tbe Treasury Department, Washington, for a -new revenue steamer for the New Berne (N.

At this term only civil causes and "jail cases" on the State dockul are disposed of. Judge T. B. Womack, recently appointed by the Governor to fill the vacanoy caused by the resignation of Judge Oilmer, pre sided. Thj morning hours were con sumed in organizing thecouit. Mr. F. G. S rnmons as appointed foreman of the grand jury. His Honor's charge to tbe jury wu able. The civil issue docket was called, and the court took a recess until 3 o'clock p.m. There were only rix cases on tbe State docket to be tried. The following were disposed of yesterday: i Slate vs. John Daniels, col. ; larceny ; verdict, guilty. State v g Eugene Boyd, col. ; larceny; defendant pleaded guilty. State vs. Sargent Nash, jr., col.', lar ceny: pleaded guilty. State vs. Charles Sbepard, col ; lar ceny; verdict, guilty. State vs. John Hargett, col ; laroeny; verdict, guilty. Sentence was net pronounced in any of the oaeee. All of tbe above cases were for petit larceny, such as stealing-chickens, tow sacks and bottles. All boys. Court took a recess until 9:89 o'clock Tuesday morning. Very little business of interest was done by the court Tuesday. The ne gro youth. Charles Shepard, reported in yesterday's Journal as having been convicted of liroeny, which was the stealing of a few bottles from Mr Thomas Bowdon'e barroom, waa sen tenced to the penitentiary for one year Tbe other boys cony icted of petit laroe ny were released upon the promise of their mothers to give them a good flog' ging and a guarantee that said promise would be faithfully kept. On account of bo many of the mem bers of the br attending the Supreme court at Raleigh this week the court will cdjjurn from day to day until next Tuesday. The Work of (he Institute. If there was one thing shown more clearly than another by the work of the Institute in Craven county, it was tbs healthy condition of ita publio schools There are many defects in tbs publio school system of the State. There is not money enough, the terms sre too short There is too much machinery, and the people do not take pride enough in the education of their children. Still with the means at her command, Craven bounty may think and speak well of her public schools. Out of about thirty eight teachers there were thirty-two in attendance upon the Institute, and two at least of those absent were kept swsy by sickness. The array of teachers clearly showed tbe survival of the fit test. Ther were an intelligent, modest, well-bred body of young men snd wo men, participating in tne worx wrtn diligence, industry and seal. ' The work took them altogether beyond the limits of mere scholarship, and drew them to line of contemplation and study altogether new to them. Their self-respect, hopefulness and purpose, as well as their intelligence and taste. were quickened by the energies of the Institute. And they will return to the activity and self-sacrifice of their pro fession with renewed vigor and enthu siasm. Of Professor Alderman it is not too much to say, that he is performing his duties with much fidelity and useful ness, no one will claim that he is in fallible in all the theories he suggests. But he is a young man of large expe rience in teaching; he has a bright and cultured mind; be poseeeses an even and affable temper, and is earnest in whatever he undertakes. We consider both Professor Mclver and himself as good investments of the normal school fund in the educational future of North Carolina. Long life and undiminished usefulness to them both. Dedication of St. Mary's Catholic Church, Goldsboro, XT. C. The Catholics of Goldsboro have just finished que of the handsomest little brick churches in the State and they now propose to dedicate it next Sun day, February 16th. with all due splen dor. The magnificent Catholic ritual will be carried out. Rt. Rev. Leo Held will conduct the services and preach the dedication sermon. A special ohoir has been gotten together for ths occasion. Farmer's celebrated mass will be song; Professor Greeawald, of Wilmington, will preside at the organ The composition of the choir is as fol lows: Miss Mariab Manly and Miss Sadie Manly, of New Berne; Mrs. Joseph Waters, of Wilmington; Capt. Matt. Manly, Messrs. Clsment Manly, J. K. Willis and D. S. Willis, of New Berne, and Mr. Richard Grant, of Wilmington. Mrs. George Royal, of Goldsboro. will sing Millaid's famous ave Maria, and Miss Minnie Royal, also of Goldsboro. will sing an O ! Silutarius. The young Catholic Friends' Society of Wilming ton, under the presidency of Col. F. W. Kerchcer, will attend in a body snd act as a guard of honor without tbe building whilst the exterior walls are being blessed. Excursion trains will be run from Wilmington and New Berne. The one from this place is run by the A. AN J R. R for the benefit of those wish ing to attend. The rate for tbe round trip baiag put at tha very low price of 81 00 from New Berne. Our Schools. This is an age of enquiry. Old methods are falling into disuse wher ever their places can be supplied with better ones. In nothing is this more apparent than in educational methods. New Berne is to be congratulated on ita sohools. The genuine jewels of the past are retained, and to them are added ths preoious gems of recent dis covery. Tbe mind is not regarded lumber room for tbe rubbish of all time, but a well ordered cabinet for the pearls of every age. Memory is cult! rated. Not the memory of words only but of ideas, customs and institutions of things and their uses. But more than this, the intellect is developed Tbe powers of originsl thought are cultivated, and all the higher elements of being brought into active exercise A year of such tuition is worth many years of the parrot syetem of teaching thatenceso generally prevailed. Our schools are always ready for inspec tion, and patrons acd strangers are invited to visit them. The usual treatment of catarrh ie very unsatisfactory , as thousanda of despairing patients can testify. A trustworthy medical writer says: "Proper local treatment is positively necessary to success, but most of tbe remedies in general use by physicians afford but temporary btnefit. A cure cannot be expected from snuffs, pow ders, douche and washes " Ely's Cream Balm is a remedy which com bines the important requisites of quick sotion. spccifio curative power with perfect safety and pleasantness to tbs patient. A SAD SUICIDE Mr. J. J Almost llazor. Roberson From Far Cuts His I hroat to Ear With a When a servant attempted Wednts l.iy morniot; to nin admittance to the room occupied by Mr. J. J. Roberson ai the Gaeton House no one answered tbe rap on the door and it wa-s found to bp locked. Mr. Roberson had been unwell for several davs and his meals were served in his room. The servant fail ing to tain entrance and hearing no sound within, returned to the office and was sent with a ladder to the window of the room, which is on the first floor, to see if anything had happened to Mr. Roberson On looking in, a horrible scene met his pyes. The dead body of Mr. Roberson, half dressed, was lying on the floor, the head resting against the bedstead, the tbroat cut almost from ear to ear. The bed was covered with blood and the floor bespattered. A wash bowl was on the floor by him into which the blood trickled from the wound. Near his side lay a razor, the agent of death. Tbe servant quickly returned to the office and told Mr. Fulford of what be had seen. Mr. Fulford and his clerk forced open the door of the room and entered. Upon examination, it seemed that Mr. Rober son waa lying upon the bed when he made the fatal gash, for the bed was almost covered with blood, but it is thought that, the cut not being sufficient to cause immediate death, it was seve ral minutes before he died and during that time he got off the bed, placed the wash bowl where it was found and lay down by it to let his ife blood drip into it. On the table was s slip of paper, on which hs bad written the dtteof his birth and bis age, and on a ohair were clean olotbes which be had placed there as if intended for his burial dress The coroner waa called and he sum moned a jury and held an inquest The verdict was, "That the deceased came to hia death from the effects of a wound in the neck made by a raz r in hia own hand." From the note it was seen that Mr. Roberson waa born on the 16. h day cf May, 1819, and was, accordingly, nearly 78 years old. Mr. Roberson haJ been sick for a month or more, and this, in conntotion with financial troubles, had made him very despondent. He had many friends in this psrt of the State who will regret very much to learn of his sad end. The Potato Planter Making i's Way South. Messrs. Sleeper & Jones, of New Jer sey, ware on a prospective tour South a few months ago, and on visiting New Berne they were impressed with our climato and soil as being especially suited to growing truck. They have rented a farm 'near the city with the intention of purchasing next year should everything prove satisfactory. Like the New England farmer, who has tbe machinery to take the place of muscular labor, they have what looks to be a projected potato planter, tbe Aspinwall, manufactured at Three Rivers, Mich. Last week it was given pretty thorough trial on tbe farm of Messrs. Hackbnrn & Willett, and all those who witnessed its performance pronounced it much in advance of the old style of putting out the potato. On trial of two acres the machine was found to do its work well, with the exception of occasionally mashing the potato, which, however, was soon obviated by some change in the regula tion of its machinery. The machine marks off, furrows. drops the potato, covers it, puts out the fertilizer sad covers it all at one opera tion. Tbe planting can be done at any depth desired from three to nine inches, and the cevsring is uniform. Moist earth alwsys surrounds the seed after it is deposited, a feature much desired by experienced planters. Also the planting of the rows straight enables oloeer and earlier cultivation. Either the whole or cut potato can be planted at a distance from 10 to 26 inches apart. It is drawn by two horses, sub stantially made, and but little compli cated. It is believed that it will be generally adopted by all large planters If tbe results of its work prove satis factory. The potato crop throughout the United States bas grown to wonderful proportions. By far it excels all other products in the trucking line. From NovaSootia to Texas they are raised and thrivs. It is one of the moet sure and marketable crops, and while the acreage is fast increasing, the supply does not meet the demand, for they are still imported in this country for our boms consumption. Growing truok is one of our greatest interests and it should receive all tbe encouragement snd attention possible. New markets are ooatinually being opened and the facilities for transport ing are better every year. The pnn eiple objeot to be kept in view is to ship a good article and let the truck reach tbe market regularly and in good condition. Tbe Oyster Trouble. Editor Jouksal : Will you please contradict tbs publication in the Wash ington Gaaette or today, to tne street that I was driven from the oyster beds at Ocrecoke f An attempt was made to drive ms off, but it was unsuccessful, though soms forty men with shotguns and muskets assailed myself and employees. War rants have been issued tor tne arrest or the principal offenders, and though the sheriff is at present unsoie to execou them, owing to the revolt against the civil authorities now existing on tbe island, I presume he will eventually bring these persons to justice. Contro versies will always arise between em plovers and employees; but they should be settled in a legitimate wsy and cot with shotguns. My people have done nothing that they had not a right to do The other parties did nothing they had a risht to do. Two points are now at issue: First, can a citizen be prohibited by violence from earning his daily bread in a Iswful way. Second, can the law and the authorities be set at defiance ? It was my duty to see that my employees were protected in the en jovment of their legal rights, and : presume that the Governor, to whom the sheriff has sppealed for assistance. will see that the enjoyment or lire and liberty is not denied to any citizen, be be rich or poor, black or white Respectfully yours, F. Wisslow. E. H. Olney. At tbe meeting of the Board of Mana gers on January SOth. we endorsed what has been published by Dr. H. D Harper, I. L. Chestnutt and K. w 8taacill concerning E. H. Olney. We disclaim any responsibility for anything he may say or do, as he is not an ordained preacher and not enrolled on our list of preachers. By order of the board, H. C. Bowkn, Cor. 8ecy. Willismeton, N. C, Feb. 4, 1890. RlnittBI Nole In the ears, sometimes a roaring, buz zing sound, are oansed by catarrh, that exceedingly disagreeable and very common disease. Loss of smell or hear ing also result from catarrh. Hood's Sarsaparilla, the great blood purifier, is a peculiarly successful remedy for this disedse. which it cures by purifying the blood. If you suffer from catarrh, try Hood's Sarsaparilla, tbe peculiar medioine. 2 Shall Women Vote I It is with fear and trembling that I come to discuss so grave a question; witft th rjopa ihnt you, my hearers, will beaT wi'h tuj want of knowledge, ana will not judge too harehly if you detect errors which are too obvious to be ignorea I c is by no means probable that my feebl? arguments will decide I this kL)tty problem either in one ay ' or the other. i The question, "Shall Women VottV" j has been agitating our beloved land of frflpiiom for several rears. It nrnma f.- ! De ho easy question to be answered. t ailing forth much desp thought and wise consideration, it has puzzled the wiseet brains, and to those eyes that have possessed the clearest vision of almost every other aspect of the human horizon, it has rolled up into the heav ens like a dark cloud, and through this cloud no man bas yet been able to pen etrate. Woman's Rights! Woman's Rights! This is the bugle call of today which serves to draw together certain strong minded females, for a dress parade of what they call their wrongs. And now let us ask what are their wrongs, about which tiiey are so incensed? This is the monstrous indignity, (for this in cludes them all) simply this and noth ing more. They desire to be men, and since they were created women, they cannot possibly become men. When God created man Ha made Adam first, then, seeing that it was not good for man to be alone. Ha gave to Adam an helpmeet in tbe person of Eve. We find in the book of Genesis that God in pronouncing upon Eve the penalty of her disobedience, tells her that her husband shall rule over her, not she over him. All through Holy Writ We learn that woman should be an helper one whom it shall be a joy to protect and to honor, to love and to cherish. So we find that God intended woman as an helpmeet, not as a ruler, as our friends, the advo cate of woman's rights, wouli have you believe. If woman becomes a politician will she still preserve her purity and honor ? We well know that a political life does not call forth the purest and noblest elements of the human nature. When she begins to serve the nation as a public ruler what will become of her honor 'i Where will her sons receive the training which they need, in order to become honest, useful citizens ? Who will lead her daughters in the paths of uprightness and virtue ? While she is traveling through the land lecturing on tbe temperance question, if we wish to see her husband we shall find him in the nearest bar room, rather than in the place known as his home. The grog shop has fascinating attractions, bis come is desolate. True temperance and true reform should begin in the home, and not unjil they gain a firm foothold there will they accomplish any permaneat good. The truest, purest, and best of women do not desire the right of suffrage. They are cognizant of the fact that by the attainment of such a right they would lose more than they could pos sibly gaic Their good sense teaches them that there is a wiser and a better way of exalting their influence and blessing mankind. In the proper man agement of their homes, in the wise training of their children they exert an influence far more potent than they oould possibly put forth by either voting or by holding the reins of power in their hands. . Undoubtedly the home is woman's propr sphere. By her peculiar organization she is fitted to grace and adorn that sphere as it can oe graced and adorned by none other than a woman. The family is her king dom, her thronw is in the hearts of its members, her sceptre is love, and if I wisdom share the throne and the scepter, there is no power so great, no monarchy so absolute, no realm so vaet or bo happy as is hers Tbe destiny of the family lies in her hands, and since the family is the foundation of both church and State, she stands at the head of national as well as private, spiritual as well as temporal life. Woman trains the future statesmen in the persons of her sons: as the impress which she makes upon their minds results in the weal or woe -of the nation. It is the mis sion of woman, by occupying her prop er sphere, and by faithfully discharging tbe duties of that sphere, to make men better, and thus to reform, refine and exalt tbe human race. Women are naturally truer and purer than men. Man is fitted for tbe harder, rougher duties of life. The art of governing is no easy tank. Ths affairs of govern ment require long and earnest de liberation, wise forethought and cau tious action. While no one will deny that woman is more observing and quicker in perception, It is a well estab lished fact that man is more reflective. She generally sees intuitively that which he proves by argument or estab lishes by demonstration. By the very quickness of her conclusions she is more likely to err, while man by rea son of bis slowness will prove correct. Woman has mere taste, more feeling, perhapi more imagination than man. but less reason, less prudence, less judg ment. Should women be permitted to vote. they would necessarily desire to bold office. The duties entailed by these would prove too onerous for woman's feeble, delicate bodily constitution Of course there are exoeptioas. But as a general rule a woman would soon rail as a civil ruler by reason cf her feeble bodily organization. In political life she would meet with infamy and slanders from which her womanly nature could never recover. Her character ought to be spotless, her purity ought to be preserved, and her womanly delicacy and gentleness ought to be cultivated and cherished; a publio life would destroy rather than secure these virtues. Woman's forte lies in ner emotional, in other words, in her moral and religious nature. In this highest sphere of life she has been en dowed with the richest and rarest gift?, oere is felt her widest and highest influ ence. It is easier for ber to love and pity mankind, and thus to help suffer ing humaui'.y by other means than by voting or by ruling the people. In the book of Prov. we find that a virtuous woman, as portrayed by the ' ise King Solomon, "lookcth well to the w) s of her household. "she is dili gent in homely affairs, she is wise: she it kind, her children call her blessed, the heart of ber husband doth safely trust in her, her price is far above rubies: but ic is not she that is known in the gates andt hat sitteth among the elders of tbe land. She is content for ber husband to roceive power and do minion. Cannot this otlensire thing, known as woman's rights, be eradicated from a country in which woman has no wrongs Bive those common to our common humanity. Lottie Hcbbs. INHERITED BLOOD POISON. How many people there are whose distress from sores, aches, pains and eruptive tendencies are due to inherited blood poison. Bad blood passes from parent to child, and it therefore is the duty of husband and wife to keep their blood pure. This is easily accomplished ry a timely use of B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm). Send to Blood Balm Co., Atlanta, for book or most convincing proof. James Hill, Atlanta, Ga., writes: "My two sons were afHicted with blood poison, which doctors said was heredi tary. They both broke out in sores and eruptions which B. B. B promptly con trolled and finally cured completely.' Mrs 8 M. Williams, Sandy. Texas, writes: '"My three poor afflicted chil dren, who inherited blood poison, have improved rapidly after a use of B. B. B. It is a Godsend. " J. R. Wileon, Glen Alpine Station N. C, Feb 13, wri:es: "Bone and blood poison forced me to have my leg ampu tated, and on the stump mere came a large uloer, which grew worse every a y and doctors gave me up to die. I only weighed 120 pounds when I began to take B R B.. and 12 bottles increased my weight to 189 pounds and made me sound and well. I never knew what good health was before." R. N. and F. S. Duffy, wholesale and retail agents. New Berne. N. C. A Very Large Percentage Of the American people are troubled with a most annoying, troublesome and disagreeable complaint called Catarrh. It is not necessary to be so troubled. It is demonstrated beyond question that Clarke's Extract of Flax (Papillon) Catarrh t'ure immediately relieves and permanently cures catarrh.

Wilson Mirror : Tli New Berne peo ple are using every effort to make their Exposition a grand success. Ic opens February the 24tb, and will continue the entire week. Raleigh News and Ooservtr: The New Berne Fair is au event to which too much importance cannot be given. It is a unique affair, being tbe only genu ine fish fair we know of in this ooun try. It ought to attract many visitors not only from this State, but frcm abroad. Goldsboro Voice: Tbe Fish, Oyster and Game Fair of New Berne opens on the 24th. All that is necessary is to suggest this fact to those who have at tended this Fair on previous occasions. The people know a good thing when they see it, had they all pronounce the New Berue fairs perfect successes. Elizabeth City Carolinian : The Fish, Oyster and Game Exposition at New Berne will be held on the 24th inst. and continue the ootiro week. Every effort is being made to make it a grand suc cess. These fair9, rightly managed, ac complish much good and should be lib era'ly patronized. Raleigh Visitor: '"Have you la grippe at New Berne?" says Old Fogy to a wide awake Nsw Berne man. "No," says he ,-w- too busy fixing for the fish and o . fair to fool with such by-gone, old-fao, ned doings." It's a faot, and don't you forget it. New Berne means "biz" and that's sufficient to ensure every visitor a big, good, old fashioned time. Raleigh Call: The enterprising little city of New- Berne is just spreading herself, getting ready for the coming Fish and Oyster Fair. Visitors are not only promised all they want in sight seeing, but a bountiful supply of some thing . ood to eat. It's just wonderful to see the big fields of vegetables, hun dreds of acres nearly ready for the New York markets. This alone i3 worth the trip, especially p-hen it will coetso little to go and come Nuff ged meet us there. Wilmington Messenger: Tho New Berne Fair will soon be here.

Let all attend who can, and let Wilmington and this section be well represented in their products. They Bach It Up. The superior merits, as a blood puri fier and invigorating tonio, possessed by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery, warrant its manufacturers in sell ing it (as they are doing through drug gists) under a positive guarantee that, if given a fair trial, it will cure all dis eases arising from a deranged or torpid liver, as indigestion, or dyspepsia, and all humors, or blood taints, from what ever cause arising, as skin, scalp and scrofulous affections. Tbe terms are, a benent or cure, or morey refunded. DIED. At La Grange, N. C , on Tuesday, eb. 4th. 1890, of congestion of the brain, at 3t o'clock, p.m., E. E. Ward, son of Dr. E. W. and Mrs. H. J.
