Charlotte Observer. It is one of the signs of the times that three special sleepers, containing 93 farmers from California, Colorado, Illinois, and otner States, passed through Goldsboro Thursday, carrying their passengers to Mt. Olive and to the section about Wilmington where they will prospect with tho view of locating. These "people are of the sort that we need and want, and their coming to see is another proof of the fact that there was never a time when so many eyes were turned upon North Carolina as are now the eyes of farmers, manufac turers, miners and of men of nearly all occupations. Of late years the western part of tho State has surpassed the east ern in material advancement, but the time is coming when they will be the equals in tha race for wealth. What the east lacks of other resources that the west has, it makes up in the wealth of its waters and in its amazing capaci ty for profitable trucking. We delight to publish often the stories of the im mense catches of the eastern fishermen and of the profits made by the eastern truckers some of the stories read like fables ; the figures are almost incredi ble. One of the best promises for its prosperity is found in the diversity of its industries and interests. Only a few days ago a clipping transferred from the Xewbern Journal told of a firm. conducting near that place the largest rabbi try 111 the Civ'- :ates and ol one hundred and one rabbits having been born in one day. This is but one instance a very interesting one too of the great variety of interests which mark the progress of the State. It is said that there are but three primary sources of wealth ; the earth, the forests and the waters. Surely Xorth Caroli na is rich in all these and with them unites in all-the-year-around climate of which any State in the Union might envy us. What wonder, then, that the eyes ot those of other sections turn to ward the Old North State? The only wonder is that any can be kept away. It May do as Much for You.

At SCOTLAND NECK, N. C. THURSDAY, - - , .. . , i ,,.,.., A GREAT QUESTION TOO OFTEN ASZED. 2oes Faming Pay ? Washington Post. One farmer tells you that farming pays, and another says that it does not pay. So how are we to determine thla by .vhat the farmers say? It is an evident fact farming is profitable to some, and unprofitable to others. It is, therefore, easily seen that farmers are divided into at least two classes those that find farming profitable and those that find it unprofitable. To better illustrate, let us take a glimpse of a few farms, and then perhaps we can more readily see why farming pays some and does not pay others. Here is a farm that was once the pride of the owner and the envv of all his neighbors. But what do we now find it? The fences are so low you can almost step over them, the fields are covered with sprouts and fallen trees, the lanes are filled Avith briers and bushes, and the house it was once a handsome resi dence, but now the windows are broken, the paint is nowhere visible, the roof is full of holes, and all in all, it looks more like a deserted tenement house than a habitable dwelling. Why is this? The former owner was a man who staid at home, tilled his soil, im proved his farm in every way that he could, Jiever "put off till tomorrow something that should be done to-day," and in short, did everything he could to make his farm valuable and to have a comfortable home. He fully succeeded in doing this, and then the farm fell into the hands of the present owner, who is a man that be lieves in taking things easy, let them be as they may. In an inter he Kpeuds mot of the time at the post-oifice or country store, talking politics or growl ing about the hard times, bad weather, cvc. w nen nis crops are iaia oy ne leaves his tools in the field ; when his fence falla down he lets it lie till his cattle get in his corn, and then he swears at them and says they are the worst rogues he ever saw. He thinks that a "few little sprouts won't do any harm." so they are left from year to year, till the soil "gets too bad to tend." In summer he stretches himself in the shade and growls that "it's too blamed hot to work anyway." Ask him if farm ing pays, and he will tell you that it is all he can do to keep something to eat, and that he works almost day and night, but the sprouts grow so fast, and the ground is so poor, and his cattle eat so much that he just can't keep up and, that he is going to quit farming just as soon as he can get rid of his farm. Reader, are you puzzled to know- why farming doesn't pay this man? I am not. Again, we see a manwnosenen roost is in an apple tree both summer aud winter. A dozen chickens will not get as much to eat as one ought to have. Ask him if faming pays, and he will say, vo, sir ; iarmm aon 1 pay. jxok at them blasted old hens ; they hain't laid an egg in three months. Scratch up all my garden truck, and eat up ev erything they can lay their claws on, andlialfjof 'em freezejto death, is all toe good they do me." His garden fence consists of a lew poles, that ha'e been put up to keep the horses out. Here are other farmers who pasture their cattle on old, worn out fields, let them stand out all winter, exposed to the beating rains, sleet, and snow, and take no more care of them than if they were devoid of feeling, and yet they say that their cattle do them no good, and that they are more expense than they are worth. But, here is another farmer. How different his farm looks lrom those we have just viewed! What pretty, fat cows and horses, and such fine fields of grass and grain. There is his house. What an elegant, comfortable-looking building it is? It is surrounded by a large, well kept grove, and a few rods further is his barn, which is a large, well arranged building, with ample room for all his stock and grain, and a place for all his tools, wagons, and oth er farming implements. His fields are clear of sprouts, Irs fences are all good, and everything has a neat, comfortable, well-Kept appearance. When you ask "EXCELSIOR" IS OUR MOTTO. the owner if he finds farming profitable lie will reply. "Yes, larming will cer tainly pay, if judiciously conducted. But there is no other calling that re quires as careful attention." This man has given his whole attention to farm ing, has saved his esrninga, has spent his spare time in keeping up Ins farm and buildings, and now lie is eduu eat ing his children, and is in shape to live comfortably the remainder of his life. Farming Is like any other vocation it must have attention, or it will not pay. If those farmers Avho think that farming doesn't pay would utilize their spare time in repairing their buildings and improving their farms, instead of loafing, they would evidently find farm ing to be a more lucrative business j tnan they had supposed. The modern farmer can certainly be the most independent being on earth. Lone Fisherman on the Roanoke. Roanoke Xews. Some weeks ago Mr. Robinson, of Illinois, came here erected him a rude little house on tho banks of the ma jestic Roanoke, just lelow the old boat landing, near ihe mills. This man is a fisherman, and by his unique con trivance! he manages to take large numbers of the finny tribe from the water daily. He has eighteen large balloon, or hoop nets set in the river and into these the fish run with ease, but when they try to get out again, they fine" that thrit is altogether an other matter. In the words of a cele brated colored politician, "it can't be did." The lone fisherman has also con structed boxes or coops, which he keeps in the nyer. Into these coops he puts his fish where they remain as liyfily us if they hnd the run of the en tire river. He ships large lots of them to different points, and really appears to enjoy his lonely little dwelling amang ihe trees on the river bank. Pith And Point. Atchison Globe. Romance is over halt cotton and yery soon becomes threaabare. If you want your guest to enjoy him self, let him do all the talking. All men look in their photographs as if they would make good v husbands. No one hates you quite so fiercely ?s the deadbeat who owes you money. This may always be depended upon : A man who gives hints is a coward. A hint is a coward's retuge. As a rule, women say almost every thing else of a woman who is engaged except that she is too young to -marry. Never loaf around where other peo ple are at work. They may pretend to have no objection, but they have all the same. Good Business Maxims. Xotes and Queries. Carefully examine ever detail of your business. Be prompt in every thing. Take time to consider and then consider and then decide positive ly. Dare to go forwart. Bear trou bles patiently. Be brave in the strug gle of life. Maintain your integrity is a sacred thing. Never tell business lies. Make no useless acquaintances. Never appear something more than you are. Pay your debts promptly. Shun strong liquor. Employ your time well. Do not reckon upon chance Be polite to everybody. Never be dis couraged. Then work hard, and you will succeed. Knights of the Maccahees. The State Commander writes us from Lincoln, Neb , as follows ; "After try ing other medicines for w hat seemed to be a very obstinate cough in our two children we tried Dr. King's New Dis- coverv and at the end of two days the cough entirely left them. We will not be without it hereafter, as our exper ience proves that it cures where all other remedies tail." Signed F. W. Stephens, State Com.

Bins! mess Men Want Accuracy Completeness Conciseness Convenience A Btusimess nam Wants to know the truth, th whole truth, an4 nothing but the truth. And he wants that truth boiled down. He has no time to waste in skimming; about the edf es of a subject, he wants to et at th jtst of the whole matter, and does not cara for a hundred pages of opinions if he can get It all In a hundred lines of solid facts. That Is o say he wants the Encyclopedia Brlunnlca. for no other work will so Completely meet the busy man's needs. It has justly been called "the knowledge of the whole world compressed into tive tect of book shelf." ftctersstic Of the business man is that he has an eye on the dollars. If his good judgment enables blm to detect the actual merit of a project before his eighbors get into line he "gets la on the bottom floor," while his less shrewd neighbor waits until all the world wants It and then he finds " the stocks ivt gone up." It Is this characteristic of Carolina business Bien that Is leading them so generally to procure the Encyclopaedia Brltannlca white ft may be had at introductory rates. A thorough business man sees how the Brlunnlca publishers can afford to permit a great paper like The Charlotte Observer, ffer their up-to-date edition at Introductory prices for a short time until the public generally has become familiar with Its surpassing merit. Then all will want It. and they will have to pay the publishers' regular price ; while the man who was shrew enough to purchase during the Introductory period has saved Just Si.oo per volume oa the price of the work.
