BOTH the NezOs- Observer and

BOTH the News Observer and State
CHr0nicLe-or rather the editors of
those journals, Capt. S.. \. Ashe and
Mr.. Josephus Daniels-are candidates
for the State printing and we suppose
Maj. P. M. Hale is also a candidate
for reelection. While we do not think
the contract should be awarded purely
as a reward for party service, we hold
that it ought to be given to one of the
Raleigh Democratic papers,-that one
which will do the work cheapest ard
best. We believe Mr.. Josephus Daniels
would do the work we'll aid efficiently,
and the GOLD LEAF would be pleased
to see him elected. We cheerfully
endorse the following from the Tarboro
SoEthrrHer It says: * If
services are to be counted, no paper
exerted more influence in the late cleo
ton than the Chronicle, and no editor
labored more zealously for the triumph
of all that is good and best in Democ-
racy. If personal qualifications are to
be the test, no one in the State has
better claim than the able, honest,
christian gentleman Josephus Daniels.
He belongs to no ring. His conscience
Is his guide. He represents the pro-
0ressive Democracy of the State.

FARMERS must learn (if indeed they
have done SO already that it will not
pay to make sorry tobacco. Then
they must stop it or grow poorer every
year. The thing for them to do then is
to plant less, and put the same amount
Of manure, labor and attention upon
that, that they would larger crop
BY doing this they can make larger
per cent. of their crop fine and it take:
no close calculation to show thai
the farmer would be the gamer there
by. 1t is quality and not quantity
that pays in a tobacco crop.

THE St. Joseph Gazette agrees with
what the GOLD LEAF said recently
about Cutting when it remarked that
now since he is announced to lecture,
the American people will regret that
they did not let Mexico keep him
when they had him, and adds with
Cutting cavorting around on the lee

wonder whether the demand for his

MEETING OF FARMERS.

As will be seen from the following
meeting of the farmers Of the State
is called for the night of the 18th OF
January, 'for the discussion of topics
appertaining to the material interests
Of the State" etc. The meeting will
be held in Raleigh, and the railroads
will sell tickets at the same rate as OBJ
tains at the annual State fair. 1t is to
the interest of every section of the
State to be represented by its active
farming element, so that the sugges-
tons made will come directly from
the class designed to be benefited by
such action as may be taken. 1t is in
tended, in a measure, to be a medium
of communication between the farmer
and the Legislature, where the man
who follows the "plow handle" joins
in discussions which tend to benefit
farmers as a class, and where may be
learned what has been done by the
Department Of Agriculture in the in
terest of the farmer.
Such convention of the intelligent
planters of the State is sure to be
fraught with good, and commends it
self, without further suggestion from
us, to their careful consideration. The
following circular letter explains itself

Cnrn for Rnttlesnake Rite.

Eighty years ago Joseph Geer, the first
settler at Long Eddy, n. Y, learned the
cure for rattlesnake bite from John John
son, halfbreed Delaware Indian, who
had his wigwam on the Pennsylvania side
of the river, at the foot of Long Eddy,
and eked out miserable existence hunt
ing, fishing, and supplying the settlers
with lead from a mine somewhere in the
vicinity, to which he would go and get a
load ana return the same day. Johnson,
like most Indians, was an inyeterate lover
of whisey, and for pint of it would let
a rattlesnake bite him and then cure him
self with his remedy, which, however, he
would not reveal. Geer always kept liquor
in his house, and on an occasion when
johnson was recovering from one of his
frequent spells of drinking to excess and
was suffering terribly for the want of
liquor, Geer promising never to reveal
the secret while Johnson was alive, sue
ceeded in getting the remedy for a pint
of whisky \ few years thereafter John
son went off with strolling band of In
dams and never returned. Geer kept the
remedy a secret, however, till from old
age his was unable longer to answer the
calls of the settlers when any of them or
their stock had been bitten and then told
it freely to all. 1t is as follows; Apply
to the wound poultice one-half each of
common salt and indigo, mixed with cold
water, and renew every two hours. Eat
freely of the leaves, or drink often of a
tea made from them, of variety of the
blue violet ". Sagittatal, commonly
known as the 'arrowleayed" violet. If the
bite be upon the leg or an arm, bind the
leaves in n circle around it, above and lust
beyond the swelling. Moisten with cold
water as often as they get dry from the
fever created by the poison, and renew
two or three times day. During the
time this remedy has been in use i'll Mr..
Geer's neighborhood it has effected at
least twenty cures upon human beings, a
great many more upon beasts, and has
failed with neither. Ralph Geer and Moses
Thomas, Long Eddy, N. Y, are the names
and addresses of individuals now living
who have been bitten by rattlesnakes and
cured by this remedy without the aid of
whisky or any thing else.

Use and Abuse of Tea.

1t is not a little curious, says The Ian
Get, that the diseases arising from the
wrong use of tea should be met with in
greater frequency in countries foreign to
its growth. The diseases due to this
cause are we'll known to doctors, but the
public seems to be strangely Indifferent
to the teachings of their medical advisers
in these matters. Recently in France M.
Eloy has reminded medical men how vast
is the number of diseases owing an ale
glance to the dominion of queen tea
America and England are the two coun-
tries that are afflicted most with the mala-
dies arising from its excessive consump-
ton. individuals may suffer in variety
of ways. 1t is customary TO speak OF
acute, sub acute, and chronic "thelsm,
a form that has no connection with theo-
logical matters. The predominence
of nervous symptoms Is char
acteristic of theism. General excitatlon
of the functions of the nervous system
may be observed, or the weakness may
be noted more especially in the brain as
distinguished from the spinal cord. Per
version of the sense of hearing Is not at
all an uncommon symptom, patients near
ing voices that have no real objective ex-
istauce. The irritabillty that oyertakes
women so frequently may sometimes be
clarly traced to an excessive use OF tea
No doubt the tannin which tea that has
been standing contains does q great
amount of mischief; but the ism belongs
rather, to that class of diseases in when
morphinism, caffeism and vanirlism are
found The habit of tea-drinklng Is
one that grows on its victims like the
similar ones of opium or alcohol Taken
in strict moderation and with due pre-
canton. tea is. like alcohol, valuable
stimnlant: in lis abuse there is a certain
analogy.

Soap and the Complexion.
Brooklyn Eagle.

A new theory has been started with re-
gard to the use of soap on the face
Women who for years have been careful
of their compilations would never under
any circumstances, wash the face with
soap, as it was said to roughen the skin.
Now, this idea is exploded, and well
known physician in the metropolital pro
fession recommends his women patients
to use it freely every day, lathering the
skin well. OF course a fine oily, and
pure soap is most DESTROYS. This be-
ing secured ne states that none but the
most beneficial results will be effected by
his method of improving the skin. He
holds-with considerable FEASIBILITY
that the pores of the face becomes as
much clogged by grease and dirt as the
hands or any other portion of the body
And if soap is considered a necessary pu-
riher in the bath, ii needs must
be felt equally on the face. By
an abundant and regular lathering,
the facial pores, he claims, are kept
open. clean, free from the clogging mat
ter that produces un slightly black heads,
ache, pimples, and a pure, healthy, fresh
and brighter complexion is the resultant.
Not mincing matters, he says that the
trouble with most women who have sallow,
pasty skins is that from years end TO
years end they never have a really clean
face.
An article published In Good House
keeping says; Hands kept dirty are
never smooth and white. Absolute clean
illness is necessary Many people who do
not work seldom wash their hands. The
days accumulation of dirt is allowed to
remain on the hands all night. Upon
rising the hands are washed in cold water;
then the possessor Won 1ers why when
she does no work her hands do not look
any better. The HANDS and face should
always be washed in warm soap suds
before going to bed. White soaps are
safety. Highly scented and colored soaps
are almost invariably made from rancid
and i'll smelling fats. After drying
thoroughly use q few drops of mixed
glycerine and camphor, which the drug
gist can prepare for you. Drop
into the palms of your hands and rub
well, and this will be all that will be
necessary to show decided improvement
When you rise in the morning do not use
the soap on your face, but battle it well in
warm wather. Do the soap scrubbing
only at bed time.
