It n nst be active; it moat reach oat: it must make iteelf attractive in every way; it cannot remain quiet and expect the nee? tattler and the capitalist to come along and lift it out of iu lethargic business state. There ie to nany bright and lire commnnitiea in this dar. with sharp, competitire citizens in them, who areeTr on the lookout for any and tTerythins which they may seize upon to draw to themselves, and build up their own towns and cities. This is a strictly competitive age, and no matter how many latent pos sibilities a place or section may pos sess, they will neyer be of value un less they are developed, and where the community cannot of itself de velop ils resource, it should seek outside aid. 'New Berne is a ranch favored locality. It is situated in a nne agri coltoral section. It has the geograph ical location to make it a natural Wltt IV! wuiuicac auk uiauutav- tnring indastrie. Its climate is pleasant all the year, and it has the best of water, and itsd rain age facil ities are unequal led. Bat possessing all these, New Berne will not develop in her pro portionate and rightful degree with out some effort on the part of her citizens. The successful merchant, by ad vertising and energetic effort has reached his prosperous state, and this role can also be applied to New Berne; there must be work on the part of her citizens to attract to her borders the capital that is necessary for this city's development. This is an age of progress, an the community, town or city that ecu res outside and development from the business, must be prepared to hustle for it, otherwise it will never get it. TUM SX2VATORIAI. CONTEST. The contest for the Seuatorship. which will be decided by the State Assembly early in 1S97, is the polit ical issue just now, and it will con tinue to provoke considerable dis cussion in North Carolina, until the question is definitely determined by the election of a Senator. The usual political inconsistency seems to eoatinae in thte contest ae in all poHtkal fights in North Caro lina, the 2i etc-Observer, strict Dem ocratic party organ, and the Cau casian strict Senator lit. tier's or gan, both opposing the reelection of the present Senator, J. C. Pritch ard. Why a strict Democratic party organ, such as the Xe t-- Ubscrrer claims to be, should exhibit any in tense personal interest in the defeat of an opposite party man, while its Own party is in a minority, mnst be a question to all Democrats, es pec iallv as Senator Pritchard's return to the United States Senate can prove no worse to Democratic inter ests than the election of any other man of opposite party views. The Caucasian position eimph voices Senator Batler, who is striv ing to continue in control of North Carolina politics for his individual political advancement, regardless of all' else, and it is his purpose to drive the Populist members of tne next State Assembly to follow his dictatorship in this Senatorial mat ter. While the Democrats are a minor ity party jn the next State Assem bly, yet they can win for thems. '.ye an enviable reputation, and do very much for their party's future, by the coarse they pursue, and their politi cal action ought to be along purely Democratic lines, with no deah. trades, swaps or combines with their political enemies. Tbe Democratic party ought to be ' fal,y 8;ltified by Uiis time that any trades oroombiinvtious with th.-Tp- uiists must result to the in jury f Democratic interests, an 1 t he con gta.il t following of Senator Hutk-i's ileal means political trouble. !

A HAD SHOW I i The recent r. p.n t of ;tate Tieas yetir begiu shows that urer Worth for the rise.i nine December 1st last, the farmers of North Carolina have purchased t he i nornious am on n t of l.il.t'.t o tons of com mei c;a! fertili zers. It is in this one item alone, fertil izer?, that the farmers of the State show a woful lack of economy, for it cannot bo denied that a very large amount of expense could have been saved to the farmers by a little work on their part by making their own compost heaps. The very convt nitt.ee of the coir.' mercial fertilizer makes it a danger ous foe to the farmer who is at all procrastinating, for after delaying in the fall and winter to make his compost heaps, with spring work engaging his attentiou, the farmer at once turns to the manufacturer of fertilizers and orders what he wants. And then the commercial fertili zer is such a stimulant to the soil, that only the steady, thrifty farmer turna resolutely away from its pur chase, and is satisfied to make his soil productive by means of his own manufacture which he lias always at hand. Not only does this immense pur chase of commercial fertilizers di tuiuish the profit on the farmers' la bor productions, but it takes away from the State a vast sum of money nearly four millions of dollars which is sent beyon 1 the bounds of North Carolina never to return. While it cannot be expected that the farmers of the State will do without commercial fertilizers, yet there can be no question that with industry now and during the winter months, the farmers of the State conld save, and by very little extra labor, hundreds of thousands of dol lars to themselves by mak ing their own compost heaps. The purchase of over I.t0o0 tons of commercial fertilizers in a year is certainly not indicative of thrift on the part of North Carolina far mers. too nrncxx hanna. While there are a few matters of November 3rd, which are not fully settled, as yet. there is one matter that the public is becoming ex tremely sick of and that is. Mark IlaDna. While Mr, Ilanna was unques tionably an important figure in the last campaign, ami a most useful personage to the liepublican party, uow that the election is over the public ought to be given a rest on Ilannaism. However serviceable Mr. Ilanna has proven himself to his party, the country at large is not now interest ed in him, and the constant promi nence he is given in the newspapers, being concerned in everything and and responsible for everything, whether it is the price of wheat or the weather, is becoming decidedly stale reading. The Republican party has won, but it is not considerate or fair that the party should continue to perpe tuate Hanna and fore him upon a long suffering people. If Mark Ilanna worked as lie did during tiie campaign with the promise of preferment if his pirty carried the country, well enough, give him his ortice. If he worked for t lie good of his party, without wanting reward, let him retire from publie considera tion with the plaudits of his own party foiiowin: him. 1 . i f w li ;, h .-l r i t m t e t be a ;i rcase of II i has a few rights an tied to a iet up Haanaism whnh forced to end u re fo i . a.

ROANOKE ISLAND MONUMENT. Km Iel Icr I ion to omilieillliioriltp Flml Unit I isli Hei I lemen I in Amer ica. On the 4 1 1 i inst., a memorial stone was erected on the site of old Fort lialeigh on Roanoke Island, Dare county, N.

It was done under the auspices of the Iioancke Colony Memorial Associa- tion. represented bv Mr. Graham Daves and llenrv A. Brown, both of this city, President and Survey, or of the Association. The base and subbase of the monument are of North Carolina graniLc, Hie memo rial tablet of Virginia gray granite.

These baptisms are the First known cele brations ol a Christian Sa:raiiKtit in the territory of the thirteen ordinal I'niUd States. The monument was dedicated with appropriate religious exercises conducted by the Rev. (!. T. Langston of Manteo, and were as fullowi.

The outlines of 'Old Fort Ril eigh" are still distinctly visible and the angles are now perminently u.arked with granite posts.

A monkey who lives in a Boston bird store escaped from his cage earlv Sunday evening, and as there was nobody nigh to hinder, he pro ceeded to have fun with a fine col lection of parrots, canaries, goldfish, rabbits, and guinea pigs. Some of these pets lie killed, a few he ate, and the rest lie tossed about the shop in wild hilarity. The exciting sport ! -or.tinued for hours, but finally two policemen drifted that way, decided that the tumult they heard was the result of some unusual cause, broke down the door, and after much diffi culty persuaded the monkey that he had better retire to his prison. Morning broke on a scene of awful ant complete de astation. The mon key was the only creature or thing in the place that ha:l not suffered injury. Not a parrot could show more than two tail feathers, the goldfish lay amid the fragments of i heir globes, the canaries were buried under avalanches of bird seed, the disconsolate rabbits were weakly trying to digest the frag ments of puppy cake that had been crammed down their throats. The owner of the store intends to kill the monkey as soon as lie can decide whether the crime committed was breaking the Sabbath or cruelty to animals. Fx. Aerial Navagation. If the stories told by several scores of people living in and near Sacra mento are to be believed, the prob lem of aerial navigation has been solved and a thoroughly successful flying machine is already in opera tion. Who built it, or where, no body pretends to say, but numerous residents of the city mentioned de clare that, ou the evening of Novem ber 1? an airship, lighted and ap parently moved by electricity, passed over their deads, moving rapidly in the direction of San Francisco. The night was dark and stormy, so the size and form of this sky troveler could not be male out with any distinctness, but the voices of her passengers were heard.

McL'lure's Magazine will begin publication in the December num ber of a series of views of the autheutic historic places and monu ments in Palestine. It is only by very recent exploration and study that many of the more significant of these places and monuments have been certainly identified, and not a few of them have never been pic tured until now. Last spring the editor of McClure's organized a con siderable expedition, and, accom panied by a photographer specially skilled and experienced in such work made a tour of nearly the whole of Palestine, and took photographs of whatever of importance the latest and most authoi itative investigations have definitely corrected with Bibli cal incident and history. Special attention was given to the great ancient highway leading from Dam ascus to Jerusalem and ou down through Bethlehem to Hebron; and many views were obtained to locali ties and objects of the first interest that will be entirely ik-w to the public. They have been produced with great care, and will make one of the most attractive features of McClure's mon t hs. through the coming A Borrowed Umbrella Returned. The latest and biggest umbrella story is toid by one of Farmington's merchants. Four years ago he loaned an umbrella to a lady, who failed to return it. (as usual.) and in time the loan was forgotten. One day quite recently, however, the lady walked into the store with an umbrella and said: "Mr. , here is an umbrella which I borrowed of you some days ago. I thank you very much, and I guess it is all right." Suiting the action to her words, she opened the umbrella and iLiUllt.l.LllCltJCliliii l.Uill,aiitA CltlU n ' f..vwl tlin firni.!n f-- n r A r-.-,i.l .'-W.

It is said that 05 per cent of vis ual hallucination in delirium tre mens consists of snakes or worms, in one form or another. Dr. D avis iias been investigating the subject in the alcoholic wards of Beilevue Hospital with the ophthalomoscope, and has brought out some interest ing facts. In every one of the lb cases examined, the blood vessels of the retina were found to be abnor mal. Instead of being pale and ai most invisible, as in their ordinary condition, they were dark, almost black, with congested blood. The blood-vessels of the retina, which are so small and semi-transparent in health, that they are not pruj'ctid into the field of vision, assume such a prominence that they arc projec ted into the field of vision, und their movement seems like the twisting of snakes The Medical i i mes.
