N C, under tdf a cm OomjmtH of March 8. 1879. The hand that often spanks the oc cupant of the cradle rules the world. You cm now purchase three small apples containing one large worm each for 10 cents at any fruitery. At the present writing New York is still a few thousand ahead of Greens boro, Guilford County, N. C., in popu lation. :, We hope that Mr. Bryan will tell us next week how it happened that it didn't happen, after numerous runs. Glass eyes cost but $50 each. How ever, it is cheaper to save your own eyes and they probably look just as well as bought eyes. Kentucky is about to become a dry State. Yet there are people foolish enough to argue that the millenium is not near at hand. We tremble to think about what would happen if 42,000 people should attempt to subsist upon the daily sup ply of food at Greensboro, N. (J. News h?.s just come in over our private leased wire that the popula tion of Greensboro, N. C, is Increas ing at the rate of 30 per minute. . The consumption of coal In this country is increasing at the rate of five millions of tons annually. We are giving the coal veins a hot time. It costs more to live now than it did in the good old days. And, un less you are very economical, it costs more, to die, counting in funeral expenses. Personally we are for peace. But if Japan does not stop bluffing we will come out. for war and will help to carry ammunition to the boys, even if we do no fighting. Greensboro claims more people and a greater number of automobiles than any, tpwn in the State. But Durham cla,ira.s at least, two automobile acci dents to each one reported from Greensboro. SOLID COMPORT , If we were a poet we would write j an ode or a sonnet, or something nice, and dedicate it to our old straw hat and our old alapaca coat. About the first of October most of the straw hats and lightweight coats go to the trash pile or elsewhere. This is but little short of a crime. But fashion, the big old fraud, is always busy. . - To wear an old straw hat and a thin coat of some kind is the acme of happiness; and it i3 about the only thing we can do without violating some law, actual or prospective. Of course some people stand in with the tailors and clothiers and can get a medium-weigh suit charged. We presume that such suits are not so bad. Still we prefer the old summer duds rather than to dodge collectors, for tailors and clothing stores belong to that clas3 of business cranks who think that people ought to whack up every few years. THE PANIC STILL HESITATES. Some of the financial prophets have been saying for the past five years that this country is destined to have another panic at any old time and some of the wise (?) ones have fig ured it down exactly when the panic is going to hit us. In the meantime easy financial conditions continue to prevail, especially in the South, and there are not even any remote indi cations of a panic, says Marshville Our Home. A few "high finance" stock gamblers and manipulators of Wall Street have, within the past twelve months, made not less than two strenuous attempts to manufac ture a general financial panic, but their efforts amounted to a - mere bubble on the surface a sort of rich man's panic that seemed to benefit in stead of injure the general financial conditions in the Southern and West ern States. Prom all accounts, the Jamestown Exposition is a good one. But it comes high to the promoters, judg ing by the deficit to-date. However, the hotels and boarding-houses may be induced to divide up. If you see a fierce looking piece of news with a red head, green eyes and Buffalo side-whiskers on the front page of the News and Observer some morning, it is a sign that the Raleigh Evening Times is published in Ra Which is the greater offense, a rake-off from a public corporation, which has earned and owns its own money, or a legislative rake-off from the State whose treasury is owned by all the people of the State? 4 Well, Yes.

New York Sun. . Mr. Bryan is to have the support of Illinois in the next Democratic Na tional Convention.

I believe that love is the secret of the world; it is like the philosopher's stone they used to look for, and al most as hard to find, but when one finds it, it turns everything to gold. Perhaps, when the angels left the earth they left us love behind, that by it and through it, we may climb to them again. It is the one thing that lifts us above the brutes. With out love man Is a brute, and nothing but a brute; with love he draws near to God. When everything else falls away love will endure, because it cannot die while tb.ere is any life, if it is true love, for it is immortal. Rider Haggard. "Keep thy heart with all dili gence; for out of it are the Issues of life."
