Annually the cry is made that the celebration of St. Valentines Day has become a thing of the past, and that the dainty missives and love tokens which are the symbols of the festal season will be seen no more, and annually is the assertion disproved. THE one-time fashion of delag ing all classes and kinds of people with lace paper frivolities or hid eons caricatures has worn itself out because of the lack of any real meaning in it obseavance but the custom of exchanging dainty messages and gifts letwen lovets is likely to come to an end at atniut i be i-ame time that love itself is banished from iu ileri l uni verse.

Thb Charleston News and Cou rier says that the prospects are that the ye ir 1893 "will witness greater activiry in the building of cotton mills at the South than any year since the mills began to come to the cotton. The manufacturers of cotton mill machinery say that they are pressed to their utmost ca pacity to keep up with orders re ceived tor looms and spindles for new mills in t he South." The above fully accords witb the best informa tion gathered concerning the growth of this industry, and it is fairly certain that the year of 1SG3 will far exoeed its predecessors in expanding the use of the great staple.

IT. r ilftT7 to miW f o lro f Iiq 1 i Kn rN' r f i i L QUUJ j w rj rt 111 tuc uucnj v re-producing, not only for its true worth, but also because its author1 was one whom the South so much honored andonewhOBe future pros pects gave so much promise. He said: The first reform, how ever, that must be made, is the system of ever, that must be made is in the system of farming. The South must prepare to raise her own provisions, compost her fertilizers, cure her own hay and breed her own stoct. Leaving credit and usury out of the question. No man oan piy seventy-five cents a bushel for corn, thirty dollars a ton for hay, twenty dollars a barrel for pork, sixty cents for oats, and raia cotton for eight cents a pound. The farmers who prosper at the South are the 'corn raisers," i. e., the men who raise their own supplies, and make cotton their; surplus crop. A gentleman who recorded three hundred and twenty j mortgages last year testified that j not t)ne was placed on the farm of a man who raised his own bread j and meat. The shrewd farmers Who alaayS have a bit Of money On I hand with Which to buy any gOOd place that is to be sold underM1"""1 'l,"ui,k' ,tllro H'- l'araenute is mortgage are the 'corn raisers, and the moment they gat posses sion they rule out the all cotton plan, and plant corn and the grasses. That the plan of farming only needs revision to make the South rich beyond measure is proven by constant example. A corn raiser bought a place of three hundred and seventy acres for $1,700. He at ouce put six tenants on it, and limited their cotton acreage toone tnird of what they had under cultivation. Each one of the six made more clear money than the former owner had made, and the rents for the first year were 1 12o. The man who bought this farm lives in Oglethorpe, Georgia, and has fifteen farms, all ran on the sarue plan. SEARCHING FOR THE NORTH POLK. A Greek professor in EQgla-ul has invented an ice locomotive, which he expects will carry him to the north pole. It is to have a nniqne arrangement by which it lays and takes np rails as it runs. The locomotive will be operated by j steam, and the exhaust will fur- j nish warmth for the travelers. p Attached to the en giue will be a I i "cab which will carry provisions for the exploring pirtv.

Still auother attempt will be made some time during the coming spring by an ambitions Dane by the name of W. A. Eckroll. He proposes to travel in a vehicle ol his own invention which consists of a number of sleds i-o constructed that they may be turned into a j boat if necessary. Somehow or other, comments the Philadelphia Record, all the plans adopted for reaching the Pole fall to pieces when the actual j . . I . , , . , . 1 , . V, .

An interesting report has been; isr-ued by the Agricultural Depart- nieiit relative to the wages of farm ! lalioi ffn l ii ibis country during the last Ii nf century. From thai it Hjipn iii i bat. titlv years ago farm wage- av.-raed about. j.S SO a month wit U lloal d. By 1800 this average bad been raised to I I , a range between $10 and f to lielii g coin uion III the Ekso, inlo, vvirli ttie withdrawal oi mill, for aei vice in the war, in LSliO t ws us, high as 17 4."i.

The stittistics do not take into account the fluctuation in the purchasing power of the currency at the tunc of the war. Since the resumption of specie piyment in 1879 wages have in creased twenty per cent, and they are almost twice as great as they were fifty years ago. According to the report there is a scarcity of farm labor in the East, especially in New Fngland.

A message con cerning the burning of the negro, Smith, at Paris haa been submitted by Gov. Hogg for submission to the legislature. The Governor says it becomes his pain ful duty to emphasize the necessity of taking some steps to prevent mob vio lence in Texas; that the recent terrible holocaust at Paris is but an illustration to what an extent a mob will go when ti'e laws are inadequate to check it. While the victim of that affair was guil ty of an attrocious, barbarous crime, ap palling and contemptible, he was certain ot lull punishment undr the constitution and laws ot the btate. Civilisation stands a helpless witness to the most revolting execution ol the age, in winch large num!ers of citizens openly, ii. broad day, publicly becam murderers by methods shame ful to hnmanity. That the crime com mitted at Paris is a disgrace to the State its atrocity, inhumanity and sickening effect on trie people cannot be obscured by reference to the previous act of the culprit in brutally taking the hie of an innocent child. To contend that his executioners can neither be indicted nor tried in the coun ty where the crime was committed is a pretence and mockery. He says if the legislature will enact suitable laws and place means at his command every per son who takes part in a mob shall be brought to trial or the strength of the machinery of justice shall Is? thoroughly tested in the effort. CARTERET CO. CORRESPONDENCE-. W" have been having most excellent weather this past week, and the farmers are making good use of it. The cat;h of fish has been perfectly enormous gince the thaw of the great freeze. We are happy to see our fisher men having such grand success. Hunting has been quite a lively inter est with us this winter, many species of the water fowls have been killed. Our excellent waters for hunting have been recognized by northern sportsmen. There is a club-house about six miles from Bogue Inlet on Rogne banks, which a crowd of these northern sportsmen have erected for the purpose of spending the winters here, to engage in the rare sport of hunting wild fowls. On the 2d inst. there was a marriage at Stella, the contracting parties being Mr. Will Tmckner and Miss Ullie Weeks. The bride is the daughter of Mr. D. S. weeks, who is a very prominent gentle man of our county. Mr. Truckner is an employee in that mammoth saw mill at Stella, and is in every way an accomplish ed and most highly respactable citizen. -May peace and happiness attend them. w c learn that a school has recently opened at Cedar point, the teacher being a lady from the good old State of Vir ginia. We notice your correspondent of Onslow, in his items of last week, men tions a peculiar circumstance which oc curred between one of our county girls and a hswk; we can only add, we admire her pluck. Miss Alice is always a plucky girl and don't you forget it. JACKDAW. The Presbyterian Orphanage. Messrs. Editors : The question. How are our orphans getting on ? pre sents itself to many kind hearts this cold weather. I am nappy to be able to an swer, Remarkably well. So for we have had a good supply of food, clothing, and wood, and since the meeting of Synod have had but one serious case of sickness. All are now in fairly good health, most in buoyont health. As we have had no farmer since the new year began, our boys have been kept busy Hauling, chopping wood; building fires; caring for horses, cows, pigs and chickens little Lloyd Hipp would have me say turkeys too, tor he has still four teen left after the slaughter at Thanks giving and Christmas. How soon I shall be able to nil our farmers place with an intelligent, progressive, prudent, conse crated man I cannot tell; but I pray that Crocl may soon point him out, and send him to us. Our girls are busy cooking, sewing, washing, ironing and so forth the two last mentioned items claim time from our boys also. We greatly need improved facilities for this part of our work. We have now forty-two children, and of this number but nineteen are girls, and many of them are small. We are looking for an experienced laundress to take charge of the instruction of our children in this work, and the direction of their labor in the laundry. Here too we need an intelligent, prudent, consecrated per son. Where will she come from. Our printing press has been selected, and will lie ordered at once. I have se lected with care, trying to avoid mistakes in this matter. The outfit will cost $300. So i will have to again open our oress fund, and ask kind friends to give us a little more help. Our last contri butions came from China, from the chil dren of our beloved brother, J. W. Davis, D. D. It is an impressive thought, that our work is watched with interest on the opposite side of the earth, but more that it is watched with gloving interest in Heaven. R. W. Boyd. Sup't. Correspondence of the N. C. Presby terian. Fall of an Enormous Aerolite. A dispatch trom St. Petersburg says: What is believed to be the largest aero lite ever known to have fallen is lying in the Caspian Sea, a short distance from the peninsula of Apsheron. The aerolite made a terrific noise as it rushed through the airland the white-hot mass made a light that, illuminated the country and sea round about for a great distance. When it struck the water immense clouds of steam arouse, and the hissing could be beard for a great distance. Huge masses of water were thrown upward,and the sight to those who were not fright ened was an exceedingly beautiful one. So enormoHs is the aerolite that it pro jects twelve feet above the water, and, save for its fused black crust, winch gives it the appearance of having been varn ished, it has every appearance of being one of the usual rock formations met with along the cost. Scientists are deeply interested in the phenomenon, and several of them are making preparations to visit the penin sula to examine the aerolite. Further in formation is needed before credence can be given to the above, however. Corundum Mining Company. Several months ago Mr. H. A. Collins, of Pennsylvania came to Statesville, leased land from Mr. R. B. Joyner near town and began mining corandum. His efforts met with success that last Friday the Acme Corundum and Mining com pany, of Statesville, with $20,000 capital 9tock, was orgauized. The parties in terested are Mr. Collins, J. W.

"It is not at all improbable that North Carolina will be represented in Mr. Cleve land's cabinet," remarked a prominent citizen of the Old North State at the new Hotel Aragon last night. "The people of the State," he continued, are strongly urging Col. Julian S. Carr, of Durham, for a portfolio position, and it is a known fact that the President-elect is consider ing the matter with no little "degree of seriousness, and should he select Col. Carr, it will be only a just recognition of his sterling worth and valiant services to the party and such action wonld cause rejoicing among all the Democrats from the mountains to the sea in the Tar' Heel State. The thousands of friends of Col. Carr throughout the South would also be reioiced to sae him honored with a cabinet position. He is one of the most enterprising and nseful citizens in the South.- Atlanta (Ga.) Journal, Dem. Wonderful, Bnt True. Two persons may be born at the same place and at the same moment exactly, and yet, after fifty years have (rolled around, they may both die at the tame instant, and still one ,may lie more than 100 days older than the other. I think I hear some one say "impossi ble," and "how could such a state of af fairs be brought about?'' but it is not im possible; it is simply an astronomical and geographical fact, very easily proven. a calm reflection shows this oddity tarns on a very obvious problem in circumnavi gation. Suppose now, that two persons were lorn at the same instant in Philadelphia, from whence a trip around the world may easily be made in one year it one of these persons constantly goes toward the west, in fifty years he will be fifty days ahead of them. One, therefore, will have seen 100 days more than the other, though they were born at the same instant, lived continu ally in the same latitude, and died to gether. LEMON KLIXIR.
