The pansy society ol America, with headquarters at Nashua, Iowa advocates putting the pansy in the flag as an outline petting for the stars. Think of psying $250,000 for a single meal! That is what a wealthy Roman did, when he wished to impress- a dozen guests with his disregard for riches. A test case brought by the city of Providence against a man for selling adulterated milk was lost. It is alleged that the jury was confused with technical terms and Latin. The oidext Faench cookery book datinetrom the seventeenth cen nry, puts down the lollowing laws: "To eat once a dav is to lead an angelic life. To eat twice U to be human. Bat to eat three or four times is 'vie de best." It is learned on excellent author ity that the British government has not instructed Sir Julian Paunceforte to protest against American interference in Hawaii, as the British government does not expect the United States to take any steps to which Great Britain would b likely to object. A most remarkable case is re ported from Kentucky. Rev. O. H. Morrow, a prominent Baptist minister of Simpson county, reared a family of his daughters. He re eived all of them into tbe church baptized them all, said the mar riage ceremony lor each of tlem; and buried them all. He survived the last daughter several years. Cook Taylor, the English factory inspector, in his new book expresses the opinion that a great change in the rlistri tuition of trade and itidustrv ih impending. He believes I tint by ' hn use of ehtctriu motors power destined to be distributed in workingmeu's houses and in isolated communities, which j will result in the laborer carrying on bis work at home.

An Associated Press dispatch from Washington states, says the Atlanta Constitution, that there in some dismay among the members of the Appropriations Committee because of an expected deficiency of $36,000,000 in the pension ap propriation for the fiscal year. The expenses in four months by 10, 000,000, and, commenting on this, the dispatch says: "Iu plain English, that means ( it the estimates of the committee hold good) a deficiency on account of pensions of $30,000,000, which will have to be met by Congress at the next session, in addition to au ap propration for the next fiscal je.ir of certainly not less than $150,000,- 000. So the total appropriation that Congress must make for pensions next session will aggre gate not less than $180,000 000." Tbe JNorfolK V lrgtnan goes on further to speak of the iniquitous and widespreading evil. In I860, when our population was 30,000,000, the total expenses of the National Government were Irom $82,000,000 to $100,000,000 less than we now pay annually for pensions alone. No oue will begrudge the pensions that are paid to worthy veterans who were disa led iu the war, but our pension system as it now exists is a disgrace . ,1 . I . -. I . lo iiuo uuuuuj au u lu tue innujuuu of the American people. It imposes a tax equal to 3 per cent, upon over $5,000,000,000, or nearly twice as much as our national debt in 1866, when it reached its highest point. The war ended 28 years ago. bat there are now on the rolls over 700,000 pensioners, and the number is annually increasing. Tne time has oome to call a halt Oar entire pension system must p overhauled. The deserving soldier dependent upon bis conn try's bounty must no longer be 1 forced to be classed with tbe thousands of camp followers and swindlers who have been able by perjury and by the help of unscru pulous pension agents to secure a place on what ought to be a roll of honor. Instead of being a roll of honor the pension list is almost a roll of dishonor. Fraud and petjory are writteu all ever rt, and tbe good must share with the bad the odium that now attaches to the pension business. Let us have "a complete revision of the entire pension sys tem. NEW BERNE FAST BUILDING I P. The year 1892 was one of iittle remuneration to this section as far as two of the principle causes were concerned benefits from trucking and general farming interests. The former gave immense yields bnt the prices went all to pieces. Farm products yielded poorly and also brought, poor prices. Had not the previou year been one o! mm bouiidril prosperity, I'M) -2 would hav- proven a serious drawback to all classes of tiu-ine-s, lint as it was New Berue was given a new impetus and has gone lorward more rapidly than ever before known its history. It Is true that we have not gained in population equal to Asbeville, Winston and a few other North Carolina places, but that New Berne is fast building np with a steady and healthful growth, all will admit. The eensns of 1890 gave 8,000 population, an increaoe of 23 per cent, while at the close of 1892 the registered vote, based on five to every voter, would swell the number to more thanl0,000, a most remarkable gain. Dotted here and there a great many new and handsome buildings have been erected, mauy of which would do credit to a city of much greater proportions. Keiz nstein- towu ou tne suburbs has jumped ap like a mushroom with small j buD ueac dwellings.

It uot only furnishes employ ment for " labor, but continually brings money from elsewhere to add to j the eapital of the place. The far- 1 mer markets his crop and tbe , money which it brings is spent with twj mereuant anu seni on igaiu. iThe maaafacturer ships the pro duct of hts factory and the money ia paid salaries, labor and raw material and a large portion of it remains at home and gradually the community grows rich. vVe have known towns boomed ap and for ;wihle everything looks rosy, but tailing to establish manufacturing, ia everv case the last end of that Ueliirncd From the Fair Trip. Hi . Edward Hull, is back from liis annual trip in the interest ot the East Carolina Fair, which i to lo held in this city, cunitiif nciiiLT on the 20tli of the pres ent month. Mr. Hull travelled 3170 miles. He lias been all over the State (except a very small area near New Heme, which he will i-it in a lew days.) and in a portion ol Virginia South Carolina, and billed every place of cir.iseejuence he visited, and some Hi.all t Im ty n - i year, . than i Mr. u ics. 1 le has live day, and t' ai l ual w ork -ml he covered been has absent put in about thirty rour more than last l little wider area IT before. I?ull ha-i found the interest the Kair -in.iio-. and people everywhere want 1 no t o ei inir. We have had a the Jul KNAI. ollh e e-l ill t lie . lelliaili 1 t' strong indication at f the inc reased inter ir our -..eeial Fair edition. The issue is exhausted. The hole .1 HOD have been carefully olaeed. and .t t he demand is not supplied our people are still handing us in lists of friends whom they want to have one of the Fiar editions, and outside parties are writiiiLT for it. There will certainly be a verv lar'c attendance. Let all pr pare aeeor. liuul . In view this promising outlook, we can't too strous;lv urge upon all our citi zens the inuiortance of each one doing somvthint: tor the fair. Every exhibit counts, wether it be huge or small. The visitors will come expecting to see the best Fair in every line ever held in the State, and by this hearty united action, every realization can be fully realized. Put every shoulder to the wheel. Week utter next the exhibits will be com ing in. Is yours re idy t Farm Notes. The cold w eather has'paessed and farm ers are striving to make upfor lost time, consequently general farm work is going on very briskly. Pea planting begun last week. The w ork is being pressed, but the probabil ity is that not quite as large a crop ol them will be put in this year as usual the preference being given to some other crops. A larger acreage in cabbage has been si i out tin- eason around New Berne than before. The cold killed some of the plants, but taking the crop right through, it has stood better than might have been expected. It is generally esti mated that T"i per cent, of the plants are all right. The small ones fared the worst. A Connecting Schedule Needed. A gentleman Irom Hartford calls our at tention to the fact that the shedule of the branch line of the Wilmington it Weldon Railroad is such that the train on it leaves Hobgood for Kinton before the. train on the Norfolk Carolina road gets there. This makes jt necesary for any one coming from his section to either lie over at 1 lobgood a day or come Tia Golds boro, well out of the way, and that on the return trip, similar trouble is eneount ercd at Kinston. lie tells us that people of hin neighbor hood, w ho arc thinking of attending the Fair are hoping that close connection will at hast be made during the Fair. A Good Trade In Dogs. Mi. Frank E. Hedge, Salem, proprietor ni Wachovia Kennels, keeps the snow dusted from his feet in the dog business at present. He informs us that among recent shipments was one St. Bernard dog to Oklahoma City ; two pointers to Lancaster, Pa.: one St. Bernard to Athens Ga. and another of the same breed to Laredo, Texas. Winston Republican. Mr. Hege seems to be such a success ful breeder of dogs, we hope to have an exhibit Irom him at the East Carolina Fair. There are $43.00 in prizes on dogs, and the advertisement he would secure by having his animals seen by so many people, especially if they should prove fine enough to be the winners, would doubtless pay him well.

Mr. Covington introduced a resolution requiring introducers of bills and resolu tions to indorse upon the bill a statement of its object. Calendar. The following bills were introduced, and referred : By Mr. Watson, ot Forsythe, to pro vide lor the settlement of taxes and change of day lor the sale of land, etc. Finance. By Mr. Norwood . a bill to discourage lynching. Judiciary. By Mr. Vance, of Buncombe, to extend the term lor the redemption of hind sold for taxes. Judiciary.

House bill 179. to compel the bringing of suits against railways for damages to rights of way, occupancy ot lands, etc., within the term of five years, gives relief to persons lying under disability to bring suit at time of trespass, passed its several readings and was ordered to be en grossed. There was much difference of opinion as to the construction of the constitution in the discussion on the bill to exempt the bonds of the Firth Street church of Wilmington, N. C, from taxation. These bonds were issued for the purpose of ob taining money from their sale to remove a mortgage hanging over it. Mr. Long opposed: He would aid from the public treasury or his private means a church about to fail, if a law to that effect was in accordance with the constitution. It these bonds were church property, then he was in favor ot making them non-taxable; but after they have gone into the hands of purchasers, they are the private property of those who hold them, and to exempt them is uncon stitutional, being class legislation. Mr. Watson, of Forsyth, said that in 1883 the legislature exempted the bonds of the Greensboro Female College from taxation, and why not do likewise now for a tottering church ! If there is a doubt as to the constitutionality of the bill, let the doubt be solved in favor ol the worship of God. Mr. Fuller, said: Mr. Speaker: If you tax these bonds vou tax the money tiiat buib the church. If you tax the money that built the church, then you tax the church.

A Big Land Suit. A case was argued before Judge A. 8 Seymour in special session of the U. 8 Circuit court at chambers, which involves the title and ownership of a very large amount of land thirty or forty thousand acres in Dare and Tyrrell counties. The case is, "The Phoenix National Bank, of New York, American Exchange Bank, the Peoples Bank, of Boston, and Andrew Brown, complainants, vs. Geo. H. Frey, Julian G. Frey, Everitt Armistice, E. E. Sawyer, and Daniel, Bagby, defendants. The East Carolina Land and Lumber Co. at Elizabeth City, are interested in the suit. Mr. F. M. Busbee, of Raleigh, appear ed for the complainants and Mr. C. W. Grandy, of Elizebeth City, and Mr. W. B. Shaw, of Henderson, lor defendants. The argument being over, these gen tl men, and Marshal Hill of Raleigh and District At torny Cook, of Warrenton, departed for their homes Thursday. The decision has not yet been rendered. Another piece of business transacted by the court was the appointment of Mr. John H. Taylor of Rocky Mount, as U. 8. Commissioner. Beaufort and Carteret County. The Carteret Times copies our item in reference to the steamer Albemarle's big cargo offish and mentions that we failed to state that the oysters and clams came from Carteret and a large majority of them from Beaufort. We give Carteret the credit for them now. We ever strive for the adv ancement of the whole Eastern Carolina as our readers know full well, and reference to the flies1 of the Joubnax, of either recent or remote dates will bear out the assertion that ever since it came into existence no paper has done more towards making known the attractions, advantages and general re sources of Morehead City, Beaufort and Carteret county, along both pleasure and industrial lines. We are now doing what we can to se cure the holding ofthe annual encamp ment of the State guard at Morehead City which place we consider is the very best in the State for it. Join tls in the effort, brother. Ex-Gov. Holt will deliver the annual oration at Davidson College commence ment before the two literary societies. The Oxford Ledger says: "Mr. J. J. Davis, of Stovall, certainly is a winner on killing daer. A few days ago he killed three bucks at two shots." We acknowledge the receipt of an in vitation to attend the eighth anniversary exercises ofthe Wake forest College. They will be held Friday, February 17th,1893. A dispatch announces that President Harrison has nominated Howell E. Jack son, of Tennessee, to be Associate Justice ofthe Supreme court to succeed Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar. The Oxford Ledger States that A. W. Graham, attorney for Hon. A. H. A. Williams, returned from Stokes county Friday where he went to take depositions in the Williams-Settle contest. He feels confident that his client will be seated. We learn from the Carteret Times that the largest shipment of clams ever made in North Carolina by any one party was made by Mr. C. L. Dickinson, of Beaufort on the 28th ult. He shipped 411 barrels. They came to New Berng by rail and were here taansferred to the steamer Albemarle, forming part of the large cargo spoken of. The civil issues for next term of Su perior court which begins February 13th, have been so arranged, as will be seen by reference to the calendar published in today's Journal as to come uo for trial tha hrst week ot court. There will lie no cases the second week of court unless . . it may le somo prolonged criminal case j This will leave the suitors, witnesses and ! attorneys at freedom to attend the East Carolina Fair which opens oue week from I , , ,. . , . I o - A good subject for discussion by rHmlt.rs alld our citszens generallv is how I shall we get good country roads. The & & J " opinion is gaining ground, that the best way is to work our roads by convict iab0r, now being employed in building ., , c . . i railroads for private corporations, j is practicable to build a railroad with convict labor, why not a good county roa(tf and why cannot the Legislature he,p jn th;s way the great farming intere8t of the State as well as private corpora tions? A Terrible Vengeance. Paris, Tex. Feb. 1. A mob of angry men and women, numbering thousands, wreaked the most frightful vengeance cf lynch law to-day upon Henry Smith a burly negro. Too powerful to resists, they took tha prisoner from the guards bringing him here, dragged him by a rope about hi neck to th e scene of his cnme,Jubjected him to every conceivable torture, and there burned the pitiabla wretch at the stake. j Smith had on Thursday picked ap lit- I tie four year-old Myrtla-' -y ice, the child of Policeman Vance, nbf- bar father's house, and quieting her with candy, car ried her through the central portion of the city to Gibbons' pasture. Several people questioned him but to each ha said he was carrying her to a doctor's. At the pasture after assaulting the child he killed fcrr. At the open prarie, 800 yards from tha Texas and Pacific depot tbe scanbld waited him. There for fifty minntea th maddened men .tortured him. Had hot irons were thrust from every aida Into his body. His shjieks added vigor to his persecutors. First the hot irons branded hit feet, and inch by inch they crept up to hia- face. The man was. unconscious when at last kerosene was poured ovar him and cotton seed hulls placed beneath him. A torch set the pyre on fire and all was quickly consumed. Curiosity seekers" have carried away all that was left, even to the ashes. Smith, some say, commit ted the crime to revenge himself on Vance, who had arrested him once when drunk and clubbed him, Var.ce is pros trated with grief, and his wife is danger ously ill with the shock. Look Ont For Them. This is an age of sharpers and trick sters. It is well for all our readers to be on watch for them and not be taken in by their slick practices. The country ia flooded with letters and circulars, from "worlds fair co-operative bureaus," and such like, purporting to be companies which will look after you, secure your boarding and lodging, etc. at Chicago next summer. Have none of it they are a fraud from first to last. That ia,thev ars a fraud this far they charge you afee for get ting you what you could get yourself when you go, and nothing certain about that either. They make an agreement to get you lodging and board at such a hotel for such a rate. If the hotel mentioned has room for you when you go, all right they will take you in; if Dot, not. They will tell 'you, you should have come when they were not full. All that you could have done yourself without paying soma middleman from one to fifteen dollars for doing nothing. The Bowling Green Sentinel has seen a dozen of these agencies in Chicago; seedy, impecunious individuals who could not give bond for a dog fight. Havt naught to do with them. Louisbcrg Times. "CASH." As I passed the door of a merchant, I overheard him say "I gave credit once; But now its passed the day." Bo large profits and slow notes, Would not keep his horse in oats; H,e turned Mm out to get his hash, Now, Big Ike drives a nag called AH intelligent people, In country and in town When they have goods to buy, Will give Big Ike a round, No others can compete with hjm; Cash, He will lay them in the shade, Because he is a cheap cash man, And gets all the country trade. Biz Ike does solid business, I've often heard him say. Nothing but the oash itself Can carry my goods away." Now he has all the money, And there is where it went, Because he sells bis goods for cash, At 2 1-2 per cent Business has resumed its general stats) after having been almost completely paralyzed by the unprecedented spell of cold weather.
