Mr. Editor: Xo one can tell what a day will bring forth, therefore every taxi aver in Xortli Carolina, irrespect ive of party affiliations, should be on the alert, as a matter of financial inter est, if nothing else. As I stated sometime since, under carpetbag rule, our bonds were sold at 15 per cent., or .15 for 100 bond ap propriated to build railroads that were never built, but the pitiful amount re ceived for said bonds "was gobbled up by Svvepson, Littlefield & Co. I can name another one of the company, but will refrain at present all of the carpetbag issue or scaliwag persuasion. It now appears that about $30,000, OOO worth of these bonds, which were compromised by the Democratic legis lature of 187G and 1877, are in the pos session of Levi P. Morton, the candi date for the-vice-presidency of the United States, who now has a suit pending in the United States Supreme Court in the city of Washington for the recovery of the said compromised bonds. Taxpayers of Xorth Carolina, can you I ear this? And more;, the said Ia'v'i P". Morton is, it is said, sending money into our State to try to carry the State Republican, with the hope that with a Republican governor and a Itepui'licau legislature, be would be able to collect the nice little sum of 830,000.000; and if so, the taxpayers would have to foot the bill. Brother Taxpayers, think of this, be fore you deposit your votes for Harri son, Morton & Co. ' This .amount added to high tariff will clean' up the good old State. With these facts before the voters of Xortli Carolina, who can vote Republican? Xo man that owns property and is a taxpayer and loves home and country more than party. Mr. Brown, the Knight of Tabor candidate for the Lower House, it is said, and truly, I suppose, is holding night meetings among his colored brudders in lower Gaston. " Men love darkness rather than light, because their deeds are evil." Fallen angels descend to the very depths of degra dation: Fallen angels had better fol low the ways of men while in this world, for the eyes of the better ele ment are on them.

" Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel," etc. The preacher has a high and honora ble calling, but if trailed to preach the gospel they are not apt to forsake their calling and become a mouthpiece for a little petty political party. The preach er that accepts a place on a ticket of any political party, to some extent at least, violates good Christian faith. " ile who preaches the gospel shall by the gospel live." When men consider the call from high heaven below that of man they must be far astray. You love the world and therefore must be of the world and the world should so recognize you. This brings to my recollection an anecdote of a poor .boy of a certain city who was making and selling rat traps for support. He was met by a minister on the sidewalk one day while singing out at every step, " Rat-traps for sale!" The man of God accosted mm thus: " My son, did you ever pray?" The boy promptly replied: " Xo, sir. Did you ever make a rat trap?" " Xo." " Well, every man to his profession. Rat-traps for sale! Rat-traps for sale!" and went on his way rejoicing in his victory. . - - - Peter Macttic. Our 'Candidate tor President.

He was very practical, and in order to have everything fair and square be forehand, he said: " You know, darling, that I promis ed my mother that my wife should be a good housekeeper and a domestic wo man. Can you cook?" "I can," she said, swallowing a great big lump in her throat. . Can you make good bread? That is the fundamental principle of all housekeeping." "Yes; I went into a bakery and learned how to make all kinds of bread." She added under her breath, " maybe." " And can you do your own dress making? I am comparatively a poor man, love, and dressmakers' hilts would soon bankrupt me." " Yes," she said, frankly, I can make everything I wear, especially .pattern bonnets," ." You are a jewel," he cried, with enthusiasm; "come to my arms - " . " Wait a minute there's no hurry," she said, coolly, " It's my turn to ask a few questions. Can you saw wood and carry in coal?" " Why, my love, I should hire that work done." " Can you make your coats, vests, trousers and other weaving apparel?" " But that isn't to the purpose."

" Third, I have three motherless daughters " and he said it with tears in his eyes. " They have no protector but myself. I would rather kill them than to leave them in this sinful world, if you blot out from itall the teachings of the Gospel. " Perhaps there are other persons who would do well to think of these three things. Infidels think they can destroy the Bible. What of it? Many good things have been destroyed. A child can smash a crystal vase, which all the power of men could never restore. An incendiary can, with a match that does not cost a hundredth part of a penny, buin'down a palace on which thousands of men have toiled for years. A slan derer can smirch a spotless name with stains that can never be-1 effaced; but what is gained by such exploits? Infi dels .have vainly tried for ages to de stroy the Bible and Christianity. .They have not succeeded. Suppose they now give us a rest, and produce some better religion. Alcohol. Spirit of the Age. Alcohol is the cause of many poor women and children having to suffer. It cuts down youth in its vigor, man hood in its strength and age in its weakness. Some men go away from home and leave their wives and chil dren to weep after them and come home late at night, the house all cold and dark and nothing for them to eat. It causes sickness not health, death not life. It makes -wives widows, children orphans and makes all at last beggars and it leads many a poor man to his grave. A fellow once said that he married three times. The first time for money, the next for beauty and the next for intelligence, and he got the world, the flesh and the devil.

Senator Vance spoke to an immense crowd at Sharon, Mecklenburg county, last Monday. FROM CAI,K. Orgranizntioit' of the. Farmers TVcces sary The Alliance. Mr. Editor: As tliis is a time when the farmers everywhere are waking up to the fact that theylneed to be organ ized in order to sustain their profes sion. We beg leve to show them a few reasons why organisation will benefit them and their profession. " The first is, all other classes are or ganized, and, of cdilrse, the farmers should sustain themselves upon the same principles thatother classes do, if they wish to better their condi tion. i '. Second, they can ontrol the prices of their products tOt a great extent. Let us illustrate. jsfr year the farm ers in this county were paid only 81 to 9 cents for their co&on, when cotton in Wilmington, Xevjf York and else where was at 9 to 9j Why was it so? They lacked an organization where they could meet together and appoint men to look into t heii business, as they have. -this year. Can't they see that they have been benefitted by our or ganization the Alliance? Third, they can bldt out this mort gage business, whicli the Alliance in tends to do when it gts strong enough. We hope every farmef in the land will join us and help totmdermine this great evil; that is, dragging down our profession. '-i . Fourth, they can 'rib a great many of their necessaries,' such as bacon, flour, sugar and coffee, and also their fertilizers, direct, from the manufac turers and wholesale dealers, and thus knock off a large per 'cent, that is paid to the middle-maii, and get wholesale prices. Xo doubt the Alliance will save the farmers thousands of dollars this year on their fertilizers alone. And it just knocked the " Bagging Trust higher than a kite. And, fifthly, as some good old man says, "They can meet and-talk over their farm interests, and, perhaps,-they will not desecrate the holy Sabbath day, when they go to church, in indul ging in such conversation on that day." . : We hope the farmers, think 'enough of the rising generation : to try. to bet ter their condition. "Vhat will become of them if farming ges on as it has been and is now Prajress in Yellow Fever Treatment. The percentage of deaths from yel low fever at Jacksonville so far this season has been only about per cent. This, however, includes new cases which have not yet terminated, so that 10 per cent, will perhaps be nearer the actual average but that rate is rather below than above " a fair esti mate. This shows wonderful progress in the treatment of this disease since it first came under the notice of the medical profession of the Southern States. Twenty-five or thirty years ago the deaths were equal to not. less than one-third of the total number of cases, and some times ran up to one half. This was in the days of "he roic " medicine, when the fever was fought with quinine and other active agencies, but now 'the mild power cures," and the death rate is corres pondingly lowered.

A special dis patch from St. Ambrose, a town ten miles below Quebec, says that com plaints had been made recently, con cerning the condition of the city reser voir water. The authorities finally resolved to empty the water to find out the cause. The task. was com menced a few days ago, and was com pleted yesterday, when, to the great astonishment of the engineers and workmen, the remains of eleven chil dren were discovered, at the bottom of the reservoir in an advanced state of decomposition. The authorities of the locality are at a loss to know who are the authors of the murders, as an inquest has re vealed that every one of the. children had been born alive, and breathed for several hours, at least. A Georgia man, who has been rough ing it on Green Island this summer,; has devoted much time to studying the habits of the turtle and to gather- ! ing her eggs. He says that ho one ! having taken the eggs from a turtle's nest can get them all back in again. Those who have tried it find that after filling the nest they have enough eggs remaining to fill one or two more just such holes in the sand." When Mother Turtle lays an egg she paddles it in tight with her feet, and so egg by egg until the nest is f till, and the elasticity of the. shell permits some extremely close packing that no man has been able to duplicate.

This is a question that touch es a great many men. It is a factor which has been carefully considered by life insurance companies, j Moderate drinking is generally regarded by them as tending to reduce the average dura tion of human life. . Statistics compiled from the best au thorities extant,: favor the abstainer over, the moderate user of alcoholic prominent a factor in life in surance, whose agents scan every risk and every cause however trifling they may be in themselves, then! why should not the same rule apply to men handling your money managing your business, or buying or selling your goods.? Is it not as important that a man should'be healthy and a good rjsk in trade, as in life insurance? ' In the former his habits and associations have much to do with making him en joy your confidence. Drinking has made more gamblers, embezzlers, thieves and idlers than any other thing produced, sold or consumed; on earth Why are the alert lite insurance agent and the reputable doctor so par ticular in their examinations of those seeking life insurance? Simply be cause they want the best risks for their company, so as to make the best pos sible average. Why should not the banker and the merchant exercise the same care? They may not have the same interest in the risk of life, but very often they risk their lives or the life of their business in the very hands that a life insurance company would decline to take as a risk. ; I In the medical , examination of the United States Army recent reports say that most' of the evils found in the physical constitutions of the men ex amined, are due to cigarette-smoking. causing heart trouble, irregular action or loss of normal function. This fact should make the parents of: our little boys, as well as big ones, stop this growing habit on the part of the latter, It should also make the boys consider the effect upon their future physical conditions, for it is said the best medi cal authorities hold that eigarette smoking is doing almost as much to cause degeneration of the race as the use of alcohol. j - j Ephrainl Scroggs anefhis wife of Ire dell county j have jbeen keeping house nearly three-quarters of a I century.

She spoke to the gentleman, and for a moment talked with him, and then stepped toward Miss West and extended her hand in greeting, but the young lady would none of it'. She had not quite forgotten how Mrs. Cleveland's husband had snubbed her father, and with a haughty grace, she folded her hands in front of her, and turned her back on the President's wife.

In September, this year, Essie, with her little sister, was brought by her aunt. Miss Esther Bolick, to Gastonia to attend school. : Though not well when she came, she did not take her bed until about three weeks before her death. At first we hoped that it would prove a slight attack, but very soon the disease began to de velop; and, though she had the most careful nursing aud the best medical attention, her delicate constitution gave sure signs of the ravages of that awful disease. . ' Her father was sent for, and for a short time we thought her improved, but the apparent improvement was but temporary. From Fri day night she continued to grow worse and on the following night she began sinking. It was the writer's pleasure to be with her on that night, aud, though she was gradually sinking, he never saw one more cheerful and happy. Frequently during the night she would ask for her father and friends when they would leave the room.
