Col. L. L. PoLK:-Dear Sr:-We
held our County Convention last Sat-
urday. Our county is entitled to
eight delegates to the State Conven-
ton at Raleigh on the 30th, and when
they get there you will see eight men
standing right square in their shoes
for a farmer for Governor, and that
man is S. B. Alexander.
Will our Bro. Parker, of Wake
county and our Union county brother
please let us hear from them again. l

Gov. Alexander will make a record
equal or superior to that made by our
honored and efficient Jarvis, under
whose administration: the State ad-
vanced so much in material prosperity.
There will probably be greater
changes and a more rapid progress in
the next four years than under any
preceding administration since the
war. The probable reduction of the
tariff will have some influence in that
direction and this fact seconded by
the thoughtful and progressive policy
which Alexander will bring to the
conduct Of the public affairs will give
the old State a boom which will be.

Bro. PoLK.-Deor Sar:-Please per-
nit me to say a few words through
your paper in regard to the times.
From what [ a see and hear OF the
people through the country, they are
getting aroused, and I think they are
going to take some steps looking to
their welfare, after so long a time;
and I bid them God speed, and begof
them, as farmers and laborers, to
stand shoulder to shoulder and work
in unity, and they will accomplish
their end
Bro. Polk, | saw a communication
in your paper a short time ago IN re-
gard to working public roads by taxa
ton, written by Mr.. Turner, which l
think Is a good one, and [ heartily en-
dorse the same. | am in favor of said
law in regard to working public roads.
I am in favor of laying a special tax,
so much on the poll and then tax the
other property in like manner to bal
lance with the poll. The present sys-
tenn of working the roads is unjust,
and Of no benefit to the one who do
the work. There are some Is or Is
hands on the road that I work, and
there is but one man in the number
| who owns stock Of his own to travel
over the road they work. Such a
case as. this is very much in favor of
the rich, and there can be found a
great many such cases through the
country. l think there ought to be a
law to pay all laboring men for work
ing for the county and public at large,
enough TO pay them anyhow for their
board. Some will say that the people
are taxed too much now, which | will
admit, but what sort Of taxes are they?
| Such as are of no benefit to the peo-
pie, but are a great pull back to them,
but if there were such laws as ought
to be, the people would not be taxed
any heavier than they are at the pres
ent time, and not 50 heavy, for if they
were made right and to the point it
would not take so many Of them, and
they would be of more benefit. The
people need better laws and less taxa
ton, and to get these there will have
to be better men put into Office to
make them. Put good, stralghtfor-
ward farmers in Office to make your
laws. Rally to the front and stand
boldly and squarely. If you are men,
and call yourselves men, come out and
show it; now is the time. [ am in
favor of making laws to benefit the
many rather than the few.
Respectfully yours,

Speaking Of the awful, Jaw breaking
terms which the dermatologists or spe-
cialists In skin diseases affect, The New
York Medical Record says, these gentle
men .may be little disappointing in
their therapeutics, like the rest Of the pro-
fcssion. but when 1t comes TO giving dis
eases names OF real, rasping, polysyllabi-
cal stridulousness they leave othcr special
lists, including the author of volapuk, far
behind. Dr. Hyde has recently reported
three cases in which the patients were af-
fected with symmetrical and recurrent or
persistent tylosis OF the palmar and PLAN
tar surfaces, accompanied by hyperidro-
sis, alopecia, bromidrosis. and a species OF
onychauxe, which the author supposed to
be due to the same process in the skin
which produced the callosities. " The
Daily News ventures to explain that, in
ordinary parlance, these patients were
troubled with corns. Chicago News.

There are many other curious facts con-
nected with the progress Of cold waves.
Many instances occur, says Lieut.. Wood
ruff, where the temperature at given
station, at the time Of the appearance of
the cold wave in the northwest, Is lower
than the minimum afterward produced
BIZ the cold wave. It often happens that
o cold wave sets IN from the extreme
northwest, and upon reaching the Missis-
sippi valley divides, part going north
easterly TO the lower lake region and the
other part southwark to the Gulf states.
In either case the intensity appears to be
greatly diminished. This action seems
generally to be due to the sudden devel
opment Of storm somewhere in the
southern part Of the Missouri valley.
Sometimes storm Of slight eenergy re-
mains in Kansas, Missouri and the Indian
territory, and has the effect Of refarding,
or even totally destroying cold wave.
Again, when 8 cold wave is retarded IN
this way, it seems often 70 gather force
and intensity, and rush rapidly forward
and spread over the entire country. An
other frequent feature is that after Geld
wave commences the temperature con-
fInues to fall in the northwest, and an

Here, rs we turn corner, we meet one
Of the queerest looking professions in the
world 1t is a small company of men,
their heads perfectly covered with white
mantles, with holes for the eyes and
mouth. They look in the moonbeams like
a company Of dead people, just resurrected
and walking about the streets, with
shrouds still upon them. One of them,
met alone in an American town, would
scare any girl into Mysteries.
A feeling of indignation comes over us
as we glance at this strange walking
group, but when we know what they are,
It turns into a sentiment Of fervent love.
They are the Misericordia--an association
formed to comfort and relieve misery
wherever they can hear of it. They are
recruited from all classes of citizens, from
the prince 10 the pauper. When certain
signal is struck by the bell Of the big
cathedral, it means that somebody is suf-
fering aud needs their help. Those on
duty that week must rush to their rendez-
vous as village people do to a fire, and
help the afflicted one. These masks con-
ceal their faces from bystanders and from
each other No one knows who they are
not even the person who is receiving
their help. Six of these men are bearing
human body with them. If the stretcher
is tightly closed they carry corpse; this
one is open, thank heaven, and they are
trying to save life to its friends. If any
association in Italy has the approval of
God. the Misericordia has. VIII Carleton

nnrman.s rndifrsrence to peath.

Three Burmans were led out to suffer
death by being shot They were perfectly
apathetic, not seeming to care a bit, judg-
ing by the way they laughed and talked
and smoked the never absent cigar. One
of them having been tied up, the other
two sQuatted down and watched the sem
tence being carried out with intense inter-
est. The yolley was fired, and so true
had gone the bullets that the top of the
Burman's head was riddled with five OF
them. Turning away in disgust, what was
my horror and surprise to see the remain
ing two prisoners rolling on the ground,
convulsed with laughter at the effect Of
the Sepoys' rifles. It was some time be-
fore they recovered sufficiently to be
taken up for punishment, and when they
were, one OF them was smoking cigar and
the other burst out laughing just as the
order for firing was given.
The Burman, it will be seen from this,
Is apathetic. apparently Indifferent to
death. In spite of this quality, he is a
coward in action and rarely fights in the
open or stands his ground when attacked.
They are not tall race, and in many re.
spects resemble the Chinese, having fiat
faces and small eyes. They wear their
hair long like q women, and the greatest
insult that they can receive is to have their
hair cut. In daily life they are lazy, max.

A richly dressed, handsome young
woman attracted considerable attention
In the box OF q fashionable theatre one
evening this week. It was not her un-
usual beauty-for there were other ladies
present who excelled her In personal
charms-that made her conspicuous,
neither was it due to any unusual deport-
ment on her part The whole claim upon
fame rested in the magnificent solitaire
diamond earrings she wore. AS they
caught the rays OF the electric light they
almost dazzled the eyes OF the audience.
There evidently was no paste about them.
They were genuine stones and worth not
less than $1,000 each. When the play
had come to an end, . reporter who had
observed the lady during the performance,
saw her as she was leaving the building.
He looked for the diamonds, but they
were not visible. The setting of the stones
remained the same, but in the place OF
the gems were two chased gold bulbs.

.he. Dog washing profoseIon.

There are all sorts of ways OF earning Il
living in big city. One Of the most re-
cent that has come to my notice is that OF
dog washing. There is a Frenchman here
who makes comfortable income by
washing dogs lie has graded scale Of
prices, and is as busy as he can be all day
long. For large dogs, st. Bernards.
mastiffs and Newfoundlands, he gets 81
for each washing; for settlers, collies and
dogs of that size, seventy-flve cents; and
for pups and other toy dogs, fifty cents.
He has his own towels, combs and
brushes, but the owners of the dogs sup
ply the soap. As most dog soaps are ex-
pensive, and as it takes nearly cake to
wash a st. Bernard, this is a wise ar
rangement. He also makes a speciality
OF destroying fleas on dogs, but for this
he asks special price, as it is a tedious
JOB, for he catches them flea by flea, and,
as every one knows, this is no mean task
A few years ago people not only did not
keep dogs to the extent they do now, but
they did not take the same care OF them,
and there were very few who would have
spent fifty cents or 81 week for dog
washing. Now there are any number
who are very glad to get it done for the
price. In the eyes of q dog lover there is
nothing more melancholy than an I'M
cared for dog. York Letter.
