DON'T BELITTLE YOUR TOWN.
Whatever tailings you may have and
Heaven knows all have some
That they should struggle day and night
to try and overcome
Ne'er stand within the market-place,
and as you coldly frown,
With all the strength that you possess,
throw cudgels at j our town.
Do not upon the corner stand and open
ly declare
Her merchants are the meanest men to
be found anywhere ;
For doing so you only bring upon the
town disgrace ;
Besides, my friend, this is no way to
build up any place.
What if the town hall is not as large as
you, perhaps, desire
The meeting-house is over-large for the
height of the spire.
There's a better way, my friend, the
town's good to advance,
Than throwing cudgels at her head
whene'er you get a chance.
Do not unceasingly complain about her
streets and squares ;
The failures her officials have, the par
son's talks and prayers.
And do not in an endless plaint your
small opinion give
Of how much better things were done
where once you chanced to live.
Do not throw cudgels at your town, be
cause it is not right,
And if you do the chances are that most
of it is spite.
If people do not look at things exactly
as you do.
I would not be surprised to learn the
trouble is with you.
If things are not what they should be.
and ought to be improved,
Roll up your sleeves and go to work
and have what's wrong removed.
But let me say whatever line of action
you pursue,
Do not destroy what you now have till
you can build anew.

How I Teach a Colt.
Our Dumb Animals.
When I wish to teach a colt to cany
a saddle, I first put a blanket on him,
folded to about saddle size, then a cir-
cingle strapped loosely. At the next
lesson I make the circingle quite tight.
At the fourth lesson I tie the colt to a
hitching post, add put a hoy on him.
He soon gets accustomed to the weight
and does not mind it ; then I take the
boy off, remove the blanket and put on
the saddle ; then put the boy in the
saddle, letting him sit there for fifteen
minutes, but moving himself about
and otherwise making himself conspic
uous. Then I put the saddle on the
horse, put the boy on horseback, and
lead the horse about fifteen minutes,
then I give the lad the rein? and let
him gently exercise the horse for half
an hour. After this course ot training
any man or boy can ride the colt, pro
viding he has sense enough to manage
him kindlv.

SCOTLAND NECK, N. C, THURSDAY,
THE MASSACHUSETTS C02OHT
TEE TO COME SOUTH.
Will It Do Us Any Good?
Charlotte Observer.
A committee has been appointed by
the Massachusetts Legislature to come
South to investigate the condition of
cotton manufacture. The agitation
about N8w England mills moving South
started in consequence of arguments
made by mill men before a committee
of the Legislature of Massachusetts
against proposed labor lawe. What was
published about the South in New
England papers, was simply a recital of
the arguments of the mill men. Quite
a number ot Southern towns sent "del
egations" on to Boston to solicit the
location of moving Xew England mills
to their respective localities. These
delegations found that the interest of
the New England mill man was entirely
with their own Legislature. That what
was published about the advantages of
the South was purely argumentative.
It is desirable that the committee
shall be well treated. But it is doubt
ful if any advantage can come to the
South as a consequence of the errand
that brings them here. They will
learn that the South has some advan
tages. This will tend to bring about
schemes for national legislation to
equalize hours of labor. It will tend
also to excite the interest of labor agi
tators. Neither the employer nor em
ploye in the South has anything to
gain from the discussion of our advan
tages. When advantages are exhibited
the competitor is always benefited.
As far as inducements to develop,the
resources of the country are concerned,
this ought to be done in ways that will
not jeopardize its future prosperity.
Tne strikes of the coal miners on the
line of the Norfolk & Western road
about a year or more ago are said to
have been due to meddling committees
from the Hocking Valley fields of Ohio.
As a party of gentlemen coming
South on a visit, the members of the
Massachusetts committee ought to be
welcomed and cordially entertained.
As a delegation looking for a basis on
which to start an agitation, we want to
give them the least possible encourage
ment consistent with civility. It is
only a few years ago that it was agreed
in Xew England that the South could
not compete in cotton manufactures.
Xow that the influence of Southern
competition is being felt we are likely
to hear that our methods are all wrong.
It's a serious matter to have a stranger
admitted into a household with the
privilege of gathering up all the data
possible for use in a controversy in his
own domestic circle, and more especially
so if his family quarrel has become a
subject of public gossip. It would seem
to be proper to treat the Massachusetts
committee well, but to trouble them
as little as possible with the private
affairs ot Southern manufacturing con
cerns or of our methods.
A committee of manufacturers com
ing here to compara methods ; coming
to make, as it were, a fair exchange of
ideas, methods, results, etc., etc., would
be in an entirely different position from
one that has nothing to give, but only-
wants information that may be turned
to no other use than to extend a dis
cussion in Xew England about a matter
that is none of our affair.

commence playing something lively,
and the hen will sit back on her dig

A LADIES' TEICE.
Hew She Started His.
Our Dimd) Animals.
An old white horse attached to an
empty express wagon balked at the cor
ner of Twenty-sixth and Broadway,
New York, the other day, and for three
quarters of an hour successfully resist
ed every attempt to make him move
on. The driver belabored him with a
whip, tugged at the reins and yelled,
but to no purpose. Then a crowd gath
ered and began to give advice freely.
One man seized the horse by the ears,
another grasped the bridle and began
to pull, while two or three others braced
themselves against the animal's hind
quarters aad tried to push him forward.
The creature didn't move a foot. One
wise fellow blindfolded the horse with
the driver's coat, after which he declar
ed the animal would moved right along ;
but the plan was a dismal failure. An
other insisted that if a plug of tobacco
was forced into the creature's mouth he
would be all right, saying which he
thrust a big piece of navy twist be
tween the horse's jaws. The stubborn
beast shook the dose from his mouth
and remained immovable. Meanwhile
the crowd continued to grow, and every
newcomer had a plan oi his own ior
solving the problem, which by this
time had effectually stopped the move
ment of vehicles in Broadway for two
or three blocks in either direction. The
horse was apparently there to stay.
The driver was in despair. The four
or five policemen who had been diawn
to the scene by the gathering crowd
looked sheepish and puzzled. A lady
who had watched the scene from the
window of a neighboring cafe finally
turned to the gentleman accompanying
her and said : "Go and start that horse.
These men never can do it. They
don't understand. How shall you do
it? Simply take a halter, walk up to
the horse quietly and hitch it to his
bit-ring. Take the other end in your
hand, speak to the horse gently, but
firmly, and lead him away." The gen
tleman went out and borrowed a hitch
ing strap from a hackman, and the
crowd jeered him as he approached the
balking horse. He attached the strap
to the bit-ring as directed, patted the
animal kindly on the neck, and took
the end of the halter in his hand. With
a word of command he started to lead
the way, and the horse followed as
promptly and obediently as if that were
exactly what he had been waiting for
all the while ! The crowd stood back
in wonderment and admiration. Some
of the superstitious ones declared that
the animal had been hypnotized.
"There is no trick about it," explain
ed the little woman laughingly to her
friends as the gentleman rejoined the
party in the cafe. "With all those
hali-witted men fooling around him
the horse probably felt that he knew
as much as they did. What he needed
was neither beating nor yelling, but
the presence of a master. To a horse,
as to other animals, the hitching strap.
rope or chain is the token of his own
subjection. The sight of it will subdue
him when all other means have failed.
Horses are a good deal like some men
you may lead them easily, but you
can't drive them."
Three Times in Five Days.
Richmond Dispatch.
Oxford. X. C, has had quite a ro
mance, which culminated last night in
the marriage of M. T. Clayton and Miss
Maggie Smith at Henderson. About
ten days ago cards were issued announc
ing their marriage to-day in the Pres
byterian church here ; but, owing to
the youthfulness of Miss Smith rela
tives interposed, and as a result she
discarded him three distinct times in
five days, with a reconciliation on each
occasion. Some hitch in securing the
license here necessitated their marriage
in Henderson. Miss Smith is the old
est daughter of Mrs. Louis Smith. Mr.
Clayton is the young merchant who
made an assignment last Saturday.

1 f?'V Citinyxxnioii.
No doubt it ban puzzled many Kn.
who like to know the whys and w hciv
forw of thinjr?, to understand why they
are addres.Hi by the honorable title f
"master," while their father .ire called
only ' mister" winch word, they 1ihc
been taught, is onv a corruption f
"master."
When Johnny lcome. sixteen or
seventeen years old, he grows very
anxious to le rid of the boyish title,
and the first one who addresses a letter
to him as "Mr." Hatter- him immense
ly. Perhaps, if he is a curious hid. lie
wonders why he should le so eager to
exchange a greater title for a less.
At what age does a boy cease to be
"master" and Income "mister?" Has
the change anything to do with the
putting off of short trousers? Scarcely,
for it does not come, as a usual thing,
quite so early. Does it accompany the
dropping of the voice from the upper
to the lower register? Hardly, for t Ik: t,
too, generally comes first. Has it any
thing to do with tha development of
the mustache? No, for many a totally
beardless youth has long since been
accorded the insignificant but manly
title of "Mr."
The age of "sixteen or seventeen" is
given sometwhat indefinitely by the
authorities on form and etiquette as
the ago when a boy ceases to !c a
"master." Probably if he is "old for
his age," he may be called "Mr." at
sixteen; but if he remains boyish a
long time, he will still get his letters as.
a "master" at eighteen.
But no authority can tell exactly why
it is that the title "master," which in
Shakepeare's time was given to all
gentlemen, or respectable merchants, or
artisans who had no other title, survives
now only in the case of boys. It has
happened so, and that is practically all
that can be said about it.
Really the word "mister" is as old a
th word "master." Both are supposvl
to be derived from the Latin rnagist r
a chief, leader, or teacher through
the earlier English forms maisttr,
meister, maistre, mister. But "mister"
was not used in its ordinary, modern
and formal sense until some time in
the last century.
How to Clean Clothes.
Scientific American.
The American Analyst tells how to
do it, as follows : Take, for instance,
a shiny old coat, vest or pair of trousers
of broadcloth, cassimere or diagonal.
The scourer makes a strong, warm
soapsuds, and plunges the garment into
it, souses it up and down, rubs the dis
places and, if necessary, puts it through
a second time; then rinses it through
several waters and hangs it up to dry
on the line. When nearly dry betakes
it in. rolls it up lor an hour or two and
then presses it. An old cotton cloth is
laid on the outside of the coat and tho
iron passed over that until the wrinkles
are out ; but the iron is removed before
the steam ceaes to rise from the go4s,
else they would le shiny. Wrinkles
that are obstinate are removed by lay
ing a wet cloth over them and passing
the iron over that. If any shiny places
are seen, they rre treated as the wrin
kles are the iron is lifted while the
lull cloud of steam rises and brings the
nap with it. Cloths should alwayshave
a suds made especially for them, as in
that which has been used for white
cotton or woolen cloths lint will be left
in the water and will cling to the cloth.
In this manner we have known the
same coat and trousers to be renewed
time and time again, and have all the
look and feel of new garments. Good
broadcloth and its fellow cloths will
bear many washings, and look letter
everv time because of them.
