I know a land where the streets are payed With the tilings which we mean to achieve, It is walled with the money we meant to have saved, And the pleasures for which we grieve. The kind words unspoken, the promises broken, And many a coveted boon Are stored away there in that land somewhere The land of "pretty Soon." There are uncut jewels of possible fame Lying about in the dust, And many a noble and lofty aim, Covered with mould .and rust, And oh ! this place, while it seems so near, Ts farther away than the moon. Though our purpose is fair, yet we never get there To the land of "Pretty Soon." The road that leads to that mystic land Ts strewn with pitiful wrecks, And the ships that have sailed for its shining strand Bear skeletons on their decks. It is farther at noon than it was at uawn, And farther at night than at noon. Oh, let us beware of that land down there The land of "Pretty Soon." Ella Whrrlcr Wilms. Pay Your Little Bills Holt i more Sun. A most effective way to relieve finan cial stringency is to keep money in cir culation by the payment of "little bills To "pay as you go" is always best, but some persons are occasional ly compelled by circumstances to ask for credit. Tt is wise to pay bills at short intervals for many reasons. The creditor may have a great number of small bills outstanding and may be se riously embarrassed by their non-payment. The longer a bill remains un paid the harder it is to pay. To the man in receipt of an income which is no more than his necessary expenses require, it may be easy to pay a small bill, but if he allows it to go unpaid, other bills may he added to it and the aggregate will he a serious numen. A fails to pay what he owes to T and the latter is thereby unable to pay the debt he owes to C, and so on. Jy prompt payments a small sum of money can be made to cancel a large sum of indebt edness. A ten dollar bill, by passing from hand to hand, probably often pays debts amounting to a hundred dollars inside ot a week. The most frequent excuse heard for the non-payment of bills by persons who are asked to make payment is that they can collect no money. In most instances this excuse is probably an honest one, and a little reflection will convince any man of the wisdom of thus keeping money in cir culation. agfc-.--.-'U Two Lives Saved.

SCOTLAND NECK, CLEVELAND SPEAKS. He Yields But Does Hot Surrender His First Principles. THE TARIFF BILL WILL BE A LAW. Free Raw Materials are the Founda tion of Logical Tariff Reform. WANTS FURTHER LEGISLATION Washington', D. C, Au. 27. Pres ident Cleveland has written the follow ing letter to Representative Catching.", of Mississippi, in which he sets forth his views of the new tariff law, and gives his reasons for not approving the bill. "Executive Maasion, ) Washington', D. C, August 27, 1804.) Hon. L. C. Catchings : My Dear Sir : Since the conversa tion I had with you and Mr. Clark, of Alabama, a few days ago, in regard to my action on the tariff bill now lefore me, I have given the subject further and more serious consideration. The result is I am more settled than ever in the determination to allow the bill to become a law without my signature. When the formation of legislation which it was hoped would embody Democratic ideas of Tariff Reform was lately entered upon by Congress, noth ing was further from my anticipation than a result which I could not prompt ly and enthusiastically endorse. It is, therefore, with a feeling ol the utmost disappointment that I submit to a denial of this privilege. I do not claim to he better than the masses of my party, nor do I wish to avoid any responsibility which, on ac count of the passage of this law, I ought to bear as a member of the Democratic organization. Neither will I permit myself to be separated from my party to such an extent as might be implied by my veto of legislation, which, though disappointing, is still chargea ble to Democratic effort. But there are provisions in this bill which are not in line with honest tariff re form, and it contains inconsistencies and crudities which ought not to appear in tariff laws or laws of any kind. Be sides, there were, as you and I well know, incidents accompanying the pas sage of the bill through Congress, which made every sincere tariff reform er unhappy, while influences surround ed it in its latter stages and interfered with its final construction, which ought not be recognized or tolerated in Democratic tariff reform counsels. And yet notwithstanding all its vicis situdes and all the hard treatment it received at the hands of pre tended friends, it presents a vast im provement to existing conditions. It will certainly lighten many tariff bur dens that now rest heavily upon the people. It is not only a barrier against the return ol mad protection, but it furnishes a vantage ground from which must le waged furthur aggres sive operations against protected mon opoly and governmental favoritism. I take my place with the rank and lite of the Democratic party who be lieve in tariff reform an:l who know what it is, who refuse to accept the results embodied in this bill, as the close of the war, who are not blinded to the fact that livery of Democratic tariff reform has been stolen and worn in the service of Republican protec tection, and who have marked the places where the deadly light of trea son has blasted the counsels of the brave in their hour of might. The trusts and combinations the communion of pelf who see machi nations have prevented us from reach ing the success we deserved. This should not be forgotten nor forgiven. We shall recover from our astonish ment at their exhibition of power, and if then the question is forced upon us whether they shall submit to the free legislative will of the people's rep resentatives, or shall dictate' the laws which the people must obey, we will accept and settle that issue as one in volving the integrity and safety of American institutions. I love the principles of true Democ racy because they are founded in pa triotism and upon justice and fairness EXCELSIOR" IS OUR MOTTO. N. C, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1894. toward all interests. I am proud of my party organization because it i conservatively sturdy and rsi.tent in the enforcement of its principles. Therefore I do not depair ot the efforts made by the House of Repre sentatives to supplement the bill al ready passed by further legislation, and to have engrafted ujxn U such modifications as will more nearly meet Democratic hopes and aspirations. I cannot be misLnkf,a a- to the ne cessity of free raw materials as the foundation of logical and sensible tariff reform. The extent to which this is recognized in the legislation already secured is one of its encouraging and redeeming features, but it is vexatious to recall that while free coal and iron ore have been denied us, a recent letter of the Secretary of the Treasury dis closes the fact that both might have leen made free by the annual surren der of only alout $ 700,000 of unnec cessary revenue. 1 am sure that there is a common habit of underestimating the impor tance of free raw materials in tariff legislation, and of regarding them as only related to concessions to !e made to our manufacturers. The truth is, their influence is so far reaching that if disregarded a complete and lenefi cient scheme ot tariff reform cannot be successfully inaugurated. When we give to our manufacturers free raw materials we unshackle Amer ican enterprise and ingenuity, and these will oien the doors of foreign markets to the reception of our wares and give opportunity for the continu ous and remunerative employment of American labor. With materials cheapened by their freedom from tariff charges the cost of their product must be correspondingly cheapened. Thereupon, justice and fairness to the consumer would demand that the manufacturers be obliged to submit to such a re-adjustment and modification of the tariff upon their finished goods as would secure to the people the benefit of the reduced cost of their manufacture, and shield the consumer against the exaction of in ordinate profits. It will thus be seen that free raw materials and a just and fearless regu lation and reduction of the tariff to meet the changed conditions would carry to every humble home in the land, tne blessings of increased com fort and cheaper living. The millions of our countrymen who have fought bravely and well for tariff reform, should be exhorted to continue the struggle boldly, challenging to open warfare and constantly guarding against treachery and half heartedness in their camp. Tariff reform will not be settled until it is honestly and fairly settled in the interest and to the bene fit of a patient and long suffering peo ple. Yours very truly, Signed Gkovek Clevelaxp. Nothing Original About Him. 'Ixehonyr. One of the greatest sorrows of famous personages is that it is imjMssible to live to the ideal opinion which the people whom they meet in the ordi nary affairs of life have formed of them. It is recorded that a certain literacy man ot high reputation had occasion to remark: to a waiter in the restaurant w here he sometimes lunches : "Waiter, this teefsteak is tough." The waiter looked at him with a sorrowful expression and sighed deeply. Pehaps you will tell me," said the literary man, "why you sigh in that fa .shion." Ah sir."' said the waiter. '-I took you for a man who always said original things, and here you come and say just the same thing that all the rest of them do !"

With all sheep the softest and finest wool lies on the shoulders. After burning up the trimmings and other rubbish, give the ashes to the trees. Pumpkins arc excellent foxl for hogs and cattle, and sheep soon learn to eat them with relish. Milk should le aerated as soon as possible after it is drawn, and it should be cooled at the same time. No part of a breeder's time is more profitably spent than that employed in looking after the young fouls. Many fail to secure a good meadow for no other reason than that sufficient seed is not sown at the start. Wiae tires, with axles of different lengths, on heavy wagons, would be a great help to road-keeping. Hog raising should go hand in hand with darying.
