went down feet foremost into the cone OF

feet from the top Of The pipe, ;he sir
soon began TO give cut, and no 6ecGms
frightened at the idea Of ying IN the
prison where accident had lodged him.
His frantic shouts for help cid no good.
After spending 8 night IN this danger

He assembled the pipe until he c5uld
reach the top with mia hands. Then he
knew that toe air had been pumped In be-

NEGLECTED DUTIES.


Own Famtly7
There are some men who need an intro
duction to their own children. There are
some husbands who would find an ac-
quaintance with their own wives a most
novel social comfort There are too many
men who are not members OF their own
families.
There are many men OF affairs who are
practically divorced from their wives and
music to them in the domestic hum Of the
tea kettle or the purr of the tabby cat on
her mat behind the stove. They enter
their homes late at night, as a visitor en-
ters strange family, or as a guest enters
a hotel. There is no fellowship of feeling
between himself and the inmates of the
house upon which he pays taxes. He is a
good or bad boarder according TO his per-
sonal characteristics, but is never mem.
ber OF the family.
Even IL man does escape from the out
ward scenes of his business at night like
evil it is ever present with him. A modi-
fication of Dante's lurid inscription should
be placed over the gateway of every home
Leave all business behind, all ye who
enter here" A man who talks business
at home profanes the sanctity of the place,
as the Roman invaders profaned the
Lemple az JeFusalHul. a business man
should no more bring his business into his
home than farmer should bring his oxen
into his kitchen, or a sailor should anchor
his ship in his trent yard Leave the barn
behind you when you enter the house. No
parlor is big enough TO hol1 shop, no sit.
ting room is wide enough to contain
store. BY an inalenable, unwrittcn law as
old as the Magma Charta, a mans homo is
regarded as his castle. He should defend
IL against business cares and business
thoughts, as he would defend it against
burglars. When the shop or the counting.

But men are not the only strangers to
their own families There arc some
women who make a daily escape from
home, as eagerly as a convict scales his
prison walls. Home Is stupid the outside
world is gay and interesting. Such women

Ever let the fancy roam

OUR LAST: COTTON CROP.

The statistician of the New York
Cotton Exchange has made up his
statement Of our last crop, and it has
been published by the Exchange. It
shows that'it was thelargest crop ever
raised in the South-exceeding that
of 1928, by SO, 900 bales, and that
of 1866, by 527,248 bales. The
crop aggregated 7,o46,8 1888 bales. His
returns from SO per cent. of all the
spindles running in the South shows
that the Southern mills used S., $40
bales more than in any previous year.
This aspect of the exhibit is gratifying
and encouraging, but how much Of
that vast crop was sent North to- pay
for meat, corn, flour, hay and guano ?
What shall it profit the South if it
raise fifty millions bales and it gives
it in exchange for those things which
it should produce at home?

your paper carefully and mus, u say its

"The farmers Of North Carolina have
decidedly more backbone than those

When they determine to do a thing,
we know it will be done, and when
they say they "won't" we know they
won't" When they move we know
there will be no Pickering along the
line. We have greatly admired their
manhood since the rebellion. In our
opinion, the fight with the trust is
whipped and the victory won. Com

THE SURPLUS.

What is Congress doing? What
has it done? Why is it, that a test
vote shows 50 often, that a quorum is
not present? Where are the missing
members and what r they doing?
There are about 10000 900 of tax.
payers in this country who would like
to have a truthful answer to the above
questions. They are paying over two
thousand dollars a day to run that in
stitution and they are interested. Our
opinion is, that the American Con.
gress is getting too far away from the
people.
