THE NEW TEAR.
In a few days the old year will
hare passed, and the new year will
be upon us with its hopes and its
fears, its daties and its resinnsi
bllitiea. It will be well if we
new Tear to hone, to
dedicate the
countrv and
to God.
Tbe past cannot ,be changed.
Whaterer of good is in it we can
embalm in sacred memories, and
eren the evil we have done may be
aa beacon lights to protect as from
hidden rocks and treacherous
whirlpools.
Tbe smile of heaven seems to
rest oa sea and land, and tbe stars
shine on the evil and the good.
Individual effort, wisely directed,
is always blessed, and we trust that
every one of oar readers w ill realize
is the year to come the reward of
their labors and the fruition of
their hopes.
North Carolina heaven b:eaa
her! has entered upon a career
of enlightened progress and solid
prosperity, and her sons and
daughters have only to be true to
her in order to win success in the
various avocations in which they
are employed, lier mines are rich
iu mineral wealth, her lands bring
forth abandantly, and tbe hand of
industry is ready to draw from
mountain fastness and fertile plain
treasures to adorn tbe State and
make glad her people.
We have no fears for tbe material
development of North Carolina;
our only concern is for the ever
increasing intellectual and moral
elevation of her sons and daughters.
Reform is the order of the day,
and if reformation is needed in
this grand old commonwealth, let
us address ourselves to its sacred
obligations with the resolution of
men who dare to tread the path of
duty wherever it may lead. Our
public school sj item mnst be per
fected. A higher standard of
scholarship mnst be raised. Every
child has a right to demand a prac
tical business education. Little
children cannot make this demand
for themselves, but enlightened
public sentiment speaks for them ;
the spirit of philanthropy pleads for
them? and tbe religion of Jesus
intercedes far them. The Legisla
ture will be composed of repre
sentative men who, we are assnre3,
will give this subject the considers
tion it demands.
We will not take our eyes from
North Carolina, bat we look beyond
her borders to see that the watch
flrea of liberty are burning in all
tbe States, lie who can look with
oat concern apon the condition of
public affairs in the United States
is either indifferent to the voice of
patriotism, or he is sustained by a
sublime laith that enables him to
look beyond the clouds and see our
Father's hand guiding the storm
and directing the tempest. lie
who tempers tbe winds to tbe
shorn lambs will certainly abetter
His children, and we trust that, in
Bis own good time, Lie will bring
order oat of confusion and say to
the aagTy waves "Peace, be still."
He who hope-for good must be
' . .
willing to won ior iu ixuuipuou
ment of good. Individual effort is
not to be disregarded nor lightly
eteemed ; bat in State and
NsUiooal affaira orgaD nation is
neoesuarj to grand achievements.
There is an ortaaixatlonjin North
Otroiiaa, and throughout the
Union, which, with the
blessing of 1
God, .can bring delirerance to the
country. ; That organization is the1
Democratic party. Let us see to it
that it is preserved in its purity.
Fraud, corruption, the lost of pow
er and the sin of inordinate am
bition have no" place, in a pare
Democrary. Let us keep before as
the "great lights that illumine
our history, and direct our course
by the chart of numan liberty, the
American Constitution.

The passengers on the regular train
from Murphy, due here at 4:0'J P.
M., had a narrow escape from a
terrible disaster yesterday after
noon eighteen miles west of Ashe
ville. There were some thirty
aboard men, women, and child
ren. The train composed of a
baggBge, a mail car, one passen
ger coach, aud two freight cars,
was coming down a steep grade
and had just cleared a higbt
trestle.
The track was hardly wider than
the cross-ties. On one side was
the rock wall of the mountain, on
the other a steep prcipice, meas
uring Beventy tive or one hundred
feet ;o its base.
Suddenly the violent jostling and
thumping of the train indicated it
was off the track. A panic soon
ensued and a wild break was made
t for the doors.
i Fortunately before man- had
succeeded in leaving the car the
train was brought to a sudden halt
, by the fore-track of a freight car
: dropping into a water way some
j eighteen inches deep. The train
1 had run on the ties several hund-

The Oldest Vessel Afloat.
The oldest sailing vessel afloat !
What must she look like and
what is her history t She is 110
years old, built in Baltimore in
17S0. Her name is the Vigilant.
3be has since then been a coaster,
i rafAfnl wimmnn carrier of mer.
Thomas and Santa Cruz, in the
West India Islands. Her owner,
Mr. ;S. Penthany, of Santa Cruz,
was in liangor and displayed a
picture ot the old craft which was
taken as tbe vessel was rounding a
coral reef under full sail. The
picture is a good one and the lines
of the craft are well brought out.
"How much of the original craft
is there now!'' asked the reporter.
"The keelson and main tributors
of the hall which are laid in the
l conitruction of her are still there,"
said Mr. 1'enthany, "and they arc
good for many years to come."
What a story would the history
of this old craft make! Bangor

EfTtcta of ihe TmrtT Law,
Democrats cannot but feel grim
satisfaction over tbe fact that
prominent Republican business
men as well as prominent Repub
lican politicians are suffering
because of the passage of Mo
Kinley's bill. One of them is Mr
Edward 11. Ammidown, ex-presi-dent
of the American Protective
Tariff League, a protectionist of
tbe "rank'' sort. lie was the prin
cipal stockholder in tbe Kitten
house Manufacturing iCo., which
did a big business before tbe lie
Kinley bill put a heavier tax on
raw wool. As soon as the new
tariff act was signed by tha Presi
dent the prices of woolen goods
went np. Sales of woolens there
fore fell off. The Rittenhouse
company failed and the rich Mr.
Ammidown, its prinoipal stock
holder, Is not so rich as he was by
some thousands. Perhaps if Mr.
Jay Gould were a manufacturer of
woolens he would not advise the
poor people to buy one coat a year
instead of two iu order to make
both ends meet under the burden
ot higher taxation. If they don't
follow Jay's advice, however, they
wiJl, according to tbe New York
Tribuene Rep. pay 100,000,000
more next year for clothes than
they paid last which is pretty
nearly 10 per family on an average.
This tax will fall lightest on
plantation pickininiea and heaviest
on Northern and Northwesteren
farmers.

Christmas is past and our old
town made the trip without an
accident.
One accident is reported at Jack
sonville. Lather Taylor is said to
have entered the house of Mr.
Sewell with four cents worth of
powder in a paper sack and a
lighted cigar which he al
lowed to come in contact. Result,
Mrs. Sewell, Miss Mary Creear and
Miss Agnes Parkins set on fire
and badly burned, but not fatally,
however. Luther and the furni
ture in the house and the wood on
the fire all changed places, bat he
escaped with slight damage.
Mr. Ebanks, at Mr. D. Aman's,
had his hand badly lacerated bv
holding on too long to a sky
rocket.
Miss Mary Hill, daughter of Capt.
Ed. Hill, and a good looking one,
was married Christmas eve to Mr.
James Parkins, of Stella. All are
pleased at the match, except one or
two of her other beaux.
The ladies, God bless them, as
usual had a nice Christmas tree
loaded down with Dresents lor the
little ones. Most of the Sunday
school girls and boys had appro
priate little speeches, which they
repeated in excellent Btyle, and
the occasion was decidedly enjoy
able.
Festivals and a Masonic celebra
tion supplemented our holidays,
Mr. George Morton, of Wilming
ton, being the orator. His address
was highly complimented.
In the double tendency which
all things exhibit towards the good

was demanded to night at a special

resignations were accordingly
handed in and accepted.

The New Discovery,
Y'ou have heard tour fiiends and neigh
bors talking about it. You may yourself
be one of the many who know from per
sonal experience just how good a thing it
ts. If you have ever tried it, you are one
of its staunch friends, because the won
derful thing about it is that when once
given a trial. Dr. Kick's New Discovery
ever afterwards holds a place in the houfe.
If you have never used it and should be
afflicted with a cough, cold or any throat,
lung or chf st trouble, secure a bottle at
once and give it a fair triui. It is guaran
teed everv time, or money retunaed. Jrial
bottles free at F S. Duffy's drug store.
A man always feels a great deal
sicker when the doctor has called
his disease by a high sounding and
unfamiliar Latin name.

jita a visit to onr town, not exactly
: to see our country I imagine, but
one of onr lady teachers who is
from his town. He spent Christ
mas with her, and this rainy
weather is a justifiable cause to
keep him in doors, as his attraction
can not bo out. My opinion 13 that !
if he carries his point Pamlico High I
School will lose one of its teachers !
and he gain a lovely help meet.
On the 21tb, according to ap
pointment, the Farmers' Alliance
met in liayboro and were addressed
.v .1. M. Mew borne, of Kinston.
He well discussed the principles
and objects of tho farmers, and
their dury as private citizens and j
1 politicians. He emphatically im-!
pressed on his audience the neces
fity of union in all matters of both
State and National, to be sure to
stand by those who are our friends,
aud that we need no third party?
In fact he gave general satisfaction,
but is decidedly in favor of the
sub-treasury plau, and if any are
opposed to it they are opposed to
cur need?. After the speaking a
bounteous dinner was spread and
all invited to partake, which was
heartily agreed to by all present,
and t he crowd were filled and many
backers fall were gathered, enough
to have satiate the hunger of as
many more. At least twenty five
buhi Is of as fine oysters as Bay
river can afford, and they are as
good as can be found anywhere,
wtre served. There was not a
word or an unpleasant event the
whole day. The meeting was har
monious, and goodwill prevailed!
