THE HEROES OF THE FEVER
SWAMPS.
philadelphia Telegraph.

There is one pleasant story which
comes up to us from the plagu guestricken
town OF jacksonville, Fla. 1t is that
all the clergymen of the place, without
a single exception, are at their posts,
nursing the sick, ministering to the
dying, and reverently paying the last
rites of religion to the dead. While
we give so much glory to men who in
the tumult, fury and excitement give
their lives in battle, these brave men
WHO fight the insidious, often more
dangerous enemy, the pestilence, in
its chosen stronghold, should not be
forgotten nor deprived Of any honor
that is their due. 1t is much easier to
die heading an impetuous, impulsive
charge, with all the. world looking on
through the published accounts, than
to sit quietly down by the side of one
who is afflicted with a deadly, cOnta-
gious disease This is what the
heroic clergymen and physicians of
jacksonville are doing i'll their peril
ous day. They are taking their lives
in their hands hourly, with noble,
serene courage, facing death through
their simple sense Of duty. There is
something sublime in duty like this,
and those who rise to the height of it
should be not only gratefully, but
reverently remembered.

.EDENTON HIGH SCHOOL.
f. P. HALL, PRINCIPAL.
The Next Term Begins
OCTOBER !. 1888.

No guarantee is needed by those who
patronized this school during the past
year for it's thorough work and rigid
discipline in the future. 1t aims at
something higher in education than a
mere accumulation of facts-at bringing
all the powers of the mind into vigorous
exercise and teaching the pupil to reason
and think for himself-at laying solid,
substantial for higher education, and
fitting its students for the practical
duties of life. Only limited number
will be admitted this term so that every
pupil may be under the immediate care
Of the Principal.
Reports will be sent out monthly, as
usual, bringing the standing of each
child in review before the parent.
AS the school will be limited to SO

SUPPORTING LOCAL PAPERS

The people of Radford will not look
in the direction of advertising the town.
They will even attempt to cripple their
town paper by patronizing offices of
other towns with their job work and so
forth. Still everyone expects the Dem
ocrat to boom Radford for all it s worth.
-Radford (Va.) Democrat.
We have seen many cases of this
kind, and some business men seem
to be incapable of appreciating the
fact that every good local paper does
its town ten times as much good as it
is ever paid for. Men having large
interests in town and deeply con
cerned as to it's progress often try to
see how little they can do for their
own local papers. The papers Of
the South are to-day doing far more
for the good of their country than
they receive credit for. Day after
day and week after week they are
telling Of its advantages of soil,
climate and minerals and of its pro-
gress. The facts which they give
are widely published in other papers,
and thus the good work is carried far
beyond their immediate circle of
readers. The Journal of Com
merce has often noted with admira-
tion the great work that Southern
papers are doing. and regretted to
see how poorly in many cases they
are supported by the people whose
interests they are serving journal

TAKE'S LETTER" E"
ROCKY Hook, Sept. II, '88.

! NOCN1 A1ONh) NC pI' L = OO'
Mr.. EDITOR Perhaps a little
news from our section will not be out
of place just at this time. Our farm
ers are becoming interested in the
great Alliance movement which is
now being agitated throughout this
Southern land Of ours. Agents are
actively at work endeavoring to
organize the farmers into one great
National Alliance by the coming
cotton season. Men of other trades
or professions have their organiza-
tions for their own protection. The
farming class, who constitute the
backbone and sinew of the country,
have hereto fore been very disor-
ganized set. They have not been
working in harmony with each other
in a manner that should characterize
grand fraternity. They are now
beginning to realize the Importance
of a concert of action. knowing
that they constitute the greatest bulk
of our population and by united
effort they can WELD a potent inhu
ence in commercial and national
affairs, they have resolved that their
influence shall be felt.
DR.. Seawell, of Moore county, a
representative of the Farmers ALI
ance, visited our community last
week, and addressed our people at
Rocky Hook Church; at the conclu-
sion of his speech club of seventeen
members was organized, although
the attendance was small, it not being
generally known that the Doctor
would address the farmers at that
time and place. Another meeting
is to be held at the Gall-Berry School
House tomorrow night, at which
time an opportunity will be offered
for others to join the club.
1t is needless to say that the
Alliance is meeting with some oppo-
sition, and that too, among the very
class of people for whom it is designed
to benefit. There will always be
some opposition to any measure that
is designed for the public good.
Our late crops have been cut off
very much by the prolonged drouth.

POSSIBLY 4 BLESSING IN DIS
GUISE.

The way in which the people OF
| the South have undertaken to defeat
the bagging trust is worthy of the
| highest commentator. =, Never before,
probably, was a whole section of couif
try so bent upon devising ways and
means to destroy q monopoly which
had suddenly sprung into power. Not
only the cotton growers, but all other
classes as well have been seeking to
find substitute for jute bagging
.Jute is foreign material, and the
money to pay for it must annually be
sent out of the South. AS result of
the attempt to force the price up
through the trust, it is almost certain
that a substitute of Southern origin
will be found While various expert
ments are being made to produce a
suitable material out of pine straw,
veneering of gum, elm and other
woods, it is probable that the final
solution will be in the shape Of goods
made of cotton. Out of the South's
great feecy staple and through the
work of Southern mills will doubtless
come in future the material that is to
wrap the cotton for shipment. When
this is done the production of it will
annually require from 10000 to 15O,-
600 bales Of cotton, and most of this
will be by Southern mills. This
would add almost one-third to the
consumption of raw cotton by the
mills of the South, and would be
another great advance step in the
progress of that section.
It seems probable that the Lane
Cotton Mills, of New Orleans, have
produced a material which will meet
all the requirements, which can be
made by any cotton mill, and on
which there is no patient or royalty to
prevent its production by others.
This material has been carefully tested
in New Orleans, and the Times
Democrat, in concluding full review
of its merits, says:
1--WE can imagine no better solution
of the difficulty than this. Let us re-
view the points of the case. We have |
here bagging that can be produced by
the millions of yards in few weeks, |
and by the factories right in the center |
of the cotton country. AS every mill |
can make it at moments notice, and |
does not have to depend on supplies |
from India, there can never be corner.
The use of this material will create
demand for low grade of cotton now
difficult to sell, and will advance its
price half cent pound, making in
this item alone handsome profit TO the
South. The bagging is as elastic as jute,
Is strong, as we'll adapted to covering
cotton; it will stand hooks, congresses
and handling of every kind: it will pro-
,ect the cotton better from dirt and from
water, and affords it ample ventilation.
Fisherman & farmer. [volume] (Edenton, N.C.) 1887-19??, 1888-09-21

In the matter of price it can compete
with jute, and, as it can be used again, it
will actually prove cheaper to the plan
ter than the Indian product"
If the formation of the bagging
trust should result in the general
adoption of a covering made of cot
ton, it will have proved blessing in
disguise. Baltimore Journal of Com

Some of John p. CLOVIS friends from

West Seventh street, yesterday, and
when the conversation turned on fight
ing something was said about the merits
OF Glow and Killen. One of CLOVIS
friends told Killen that he would stand
no show with Glow, and in his enthusi-
asm offered to bet good money in sup
port of his opinion.
"Clow could best you in match for
any stipulated number of rounds, with
any rules, and any size gloves, for any

''That won't be hard thing to do if

There were some more remarks, in
which there was talk from both sides,
that all bluffs would be called. 1t ended
in Killen and Mr.. CLOVIS friends coming
TO the GLOBE Office, where each side
left check for $500 as forfeit for a
hght. The articles, which call for a
night to finish, were signed by Killen
for himself and CLOVIS hacker for that
gentleman. Under the articles two
ounce gloves will be used. The fight
will be for $1,000 a side. A date was
named in the articles when money shall

After the articles had been signed Kill
len said that so far as he was personally
concerned there would be no drawing
OF stakes this time. He wanted to say,
as a matter of fairness, that he had not
been the mover in making the match. as
Glow was now under agreement for one
fight, and it might not be considered
exactly square if he had tried to get on
a match at this particular time. He had
simply covered money that had been
flashed on him, and now that it was up
he would stay with it.

superintendent of the Commonwealth
mine at the neighboring town of Com

way to be cleared up by the return of

good authority that within Short time
Capt. Dickinson has been approached
with a proposal for the return of the
boy, the sum OF $4,000 being demanded
as a ransom and the affidavit of Capt.
Dickinson not to prosecute. The offer
was not accepted at that time, but nego-
tiatiOns were pending for the return of
the lost boy. The announcement that

HIGIIMoRE, Oak. Feb. 1.-The Hyde
County treasury defalcation trouble has
begun and the facts briefly told are as
follows: When the county was organ
lied it engaged two treaSurerS, appoint
ed respectively by double organiZa-
ton, and these treaSurerS acted amaca-
bly, until one organization prevailed,
their Office life being brief. Homer
James may be said to be the first regu-
lar treasurer of Hyde county, as he was
elected by the people III the fall of 1884.
and served three years. All seemed
well with him and his Office until the
summer of 1887, when some uneaSineSS
was expressed, but no action was taken
to discover the foundation. This feel
ing grew. and at their annual meeting
in January. 1888, the commissioners ap-
pointed Simon FritZen and f. w. Har-
yey, of its membership, committee to
examine the treaSurer'S books and to
count his cash on hand. This was
movement not entirely unexpected by
Mr.. James. who, it is said. refused to
swear to his report, and acknowledged
that he was short with county funds.
This committee finally reported that
Sl1.059.6I Of cash were short, according
to the balance. and recommended that
proceeding be instituted at once. The
bOndSmen had secured sufficient prop
erty OF Mr.. James TO protect them from
loss by the time the final report was
made, and the county has demanded
this property of the bondSmen, who re-
fuse to deliver up unless they are re-
leased from all liability On the bond.
This the county refuses to do. and this
property remains in the possession of
NJ. G. Simon. trustee, disputed and I'M
settled. 1t is common talk that Mr..
James was incompetent and bad book
keeper, and too sympathetic to handle
public moneys; that he could not say
no TO any one asking favor, and that
much of the deficiency was caused by
his loans of small sums without
even making memorandum, or
taking receipt or note, and that he has
no recollection of who the persons are,
but he says that all of the deficiency is
in Hyde county. He also said he has
given a receipt in full of taxes when
only the greater part was paid. He
used the money in buying town prop
erty and farm lands and in erecting
buildings. The arrest was made to-day
by Sheriff MeIgS on warrant issued by
Justice StOner, but change of venue
was taken at once to Justice Hadley,
the preliminary hearing being fixed for
, o'clock. Mr.. James has hopes of COM
ing out of this matter all right, and has
retained Judge Price to defend him.
The matter grows interesting day by
day, and as we are to have term of
court in April the result may be found
then.

Got the Girl He Wanted.

A story is told in Brooklyn society of
the sudden appearance of former resi-
dent with large diamond and an ambi-
ton, equally glittering, to marry for
mer sweetheart if he could. He had
been to Australia, made pile, and was
coming back long enough to get wife,
give her the diamond, marry her, and
take her back there. Unfortunately.
the girl of his choice was en-
gagged and about to marry. The Aus
tralian went sadly away without having
shown his diamond, and in day or two
he gave it to another old acquaintance.
Then he called upon the lady of his
choice to bid her gOOd-by. and she told
him that she had been thinking the
matter over and had found that she
loved him better than she loved the
man to whom she was engaged. Back
went the young man to the girl to whom
he had made present of his diamond
and persuaded her to give it to him and
take its worth in money or another jewel
He then took the diamond to the girl
for whom it was intended, and she be-
came his wife and they have sailed for
Australia.
