different matter! But hope she will find
out some day that constant change of

petent men here without culture or native
ability are two things which will serve to
pull her down and keep her down in the

anything else she could do. She can get

and the same course was pursued IN re-
gard to Hon. David l.. Swain in 1882. 1t
is fresh in the memory of men now living
that in 1853 Gov. John W. Ellis was on
the Superior Court bench when nominated
for Governor. He resigned to accept the
nomination, was triumphantly elected,
and re elected in 1860. 1t has also oc
Cured in the history of our State that
Superior Court Judges were elected to the

Precedent proves that such thing as
making Superior Court judge Governor
is permissible. The CHRONICLE does not
advise either for or against the nomination
of a Superior Court judge for Governor,
but it does advise against permitting that
fact to be used against him.

Everybody is anxiously watching to see
what Congress will do with the surplus.
In New York just at present good many
people would be satisfied simply with tax
ing the import tax off of coal, SO that they
could get some of it from somewhere.
There are lots of men in this town tonight
who would rather be warm than be Presi-
dent.
Seeing cigar holder of pure amber in
a store the other day l asked its price.
"Ten dollars" was the reply. ''How much
of that is tariff 'Seventy-f per cent" :"
"Would you ike to have the duty remov-
ed?'' ''No: amber cigar holders are luxu-
ries. Rich people pay the tax" Very
well; how are cigars taxedp' ''All alike, "
said the dealer; ''the man who buys five
cent cigar pays as much tax the man
who buys twenty five cent one" 1t was
evident to me that the government gets
much more revenue froln the poor people
who buy five cent cigars than from the
rich people who revel in the luxuries Of
twenty-five cent ones in amber holders.
On talking with the dealer, found that
he favored the importation of leaf tobacco
free of duty, but thought there should be
tax on cigars and manufactured tobacco.
That belief was indeed rooted and ground
ed in him. Suppose the tax were taken
off of cigars2" said |, ''as Nell as from leaf
tobacco, what thenf' "Why then," said
he, ''those fellows in Havana and else
where would make the cigars and they
would get our money" But we would
get the cigars,' l replied. Il will not
talk with you if you say such things!'' be
cried Among all classes of people here
the way to reduce the surplus is to remove
taxes from raw materials.

COMMENTS ON TOPICS THAT ARE
INTERESTING THE PEOPLE.
The Chronicle Expresses Its Opinion on
Passing Public Events and Questions
of Interest Now Before the People.

of Interest Now Before the People.
THE Baltimore Methodists are making
themselves foolish by criticising and con
demning the President for sending pres
ent to the Pope on the occasion of the re
cent jubilee. They are hard up for some
thing TO abuse when the Presidents gift
OF a copy Of the Constitution to the Pope
has to be made the object. The gift was
most appropriate one, and the President
in sending It to the Pope did only what
every other Chief Magistrate in the world
did If they don't quit now, these Meth
odists Will make themselves as ridiculous
as Burchard did over his Rum, Roman
ism and Rebellion" ALTERATION.
SHERIFFs AND TAX-COLLECToRs are often
puzzled to know how to collect taxes from
parties who desire to shirk payment. The
Tarboro Southerner says that Edgecombe
has collector who cannot be surpassed.
II says: ". S. Cummings, deputy tax col
lector for Sheriff Cobb, sweeps off all the
persimmons, leaves, and skins the bark. He
sent negro boy three miles away 10 get
his banjo TO pick him tune and after the
tune had been picked seized the banjo for
poll tax,
Lightning will strike him before the year
ends.
DR.. WOODROW viii not down. He Is a
veritable Banquo's ghost TO the South
Carolina Presbyterians. They think that
they are rid Of him and his monkey busi-
ness, as Joe Caldwell slightingly calls his
theories Of evolution, when he breaks out
in a fresh place to trouble the truly pious.
After he quit teaching in the Columbia
Theological Seminary he continued TO edit

cepted the chair of zoology and geology IN

Dr. Woodrow is disturbed. The pious
brethren destroy all his plans, or make the

INHONORED DEAD.

We HAVE RECEIVED from IS. 81. B. YER
ses entitled. .'UNHONORED DEAD, which
the writer says were suggested by seeing
an old grave yard cleared up and put in
cultivation" The verses are unequal in
merit. and we publish the best. Others
are omitted because we do not believe with
the writer, that such desecration of private
family burial grounds is Of frequent oc-
currence in this State. The stanzas we
have selected, are as follows:
on many hillock's shady brow
Beneath the whispering trees,
With sunbeamS fitting in and out.
When came the evening breeze,
Those noble souls in death were laid
Without a stone to show
The names the buried slumberers bore
While yet they walked below.
Time passed-their children's children came
And titled the land they d cleared,
And cleared the land their fathers left
Until the graves were neared;
And then regardful of the dead,
They paused, nor touched heap
And for awhile the slumberers lay
Still in their last long sleep.
The bramble, and the thorny bush,
The brier, and pois'nous vine
Grew thick beneath the mOurnful trees,
And round them did entwine
And in the hOllcWS up above
The owIets built their nests
Below the Shiny vipers bred
L pom the dead mems breasts.
Time passed-the names are all forgot
The grayeyard'S in the way
An eyesore in its owners eyes
1t must no longer stay.
Axe spade and fire, are brought to bear,
And soon instead of trees
We see patch of dark green corn
Wave in the evening breeze.
IT Is well understood that in the contest
for the nomination for Governor the
CHRONICLE takes no part-nor Will 1t. Be
tween good Democrats this paper will not
choose, but await the action of the Demo
cratic State Convention. When 1t speaks,
we shall hear and heed. But while this
is true the CHRONICLE thinks it not i'm
proper to enter its protest to the recently
expressed opinion that the Convention
ought not to nominate Judge for Cover
nor. We protest against any attempt tC
prescribe any class of our fellow citizens.
4 Judge has as much right to aspire to be
Governor as has a farmer, and farmer
has as much right as lawyer, and me-
chanic has as much right as farmer. Nc
mans calling or Office ought to be valid as a
reason why he should be refused the noml
nation for Governor.
We heartily endorse ali that may be
al in condemnation of any man who
wolld use his Judicial position to advance
his personal or political aspirations Moth
ing could be more censurable or more
hurtful, but in condeming an abuse Of
judicial position, it is not wise to 60 t
the extreme of holding that it, in itself
disqualies man for official preferment
This is as manifestly unjust, as the othe1
is maniestly corrupt.
The people of North Carolina have neve1
thought that because man held higf
judicial position he was not eligible tt
positions which are regarded political. II

Judge, was elected Governor. In 1'OS

MI. Geo. Porterfield has sold his
running horse, Jefferson" to Mr..
Maxwell, of Winchester, Va, for the
sum of $500. This is one of the most
promising running colts ever raised
in the county. He has run u half
mile in 81 seconds, with very little
training.
We had the pleasure yesterday of
being shown through the creamery
of Messrs. Washington Bros. by their
polite superintendent, Mr.. G. L. Rad
ley, who has been reared in a cream
cry from childhood, and thoroughly
understands his business. The site
for the creamery is excellent. 1t is
situated in the southern suburbs of
the town, near Mr.. John G. Wcller's
foundry and machine shops, in clio Sc
proximity to a bountiful supply of
water, and in easy access to both the
S. V. and b. & O.. r. RS. The
building is 90 by So feet, about 25 by
35 feet of which is taxed up by the
ice house and galvanized refrigerator.
The remaining space is divided into
engine room, churning, separating
and test room and office. The en-
CINE used is a ten-horse power. and the
plant has n capcity of 1000 pounds
per day. This creamery is said to
be the best equipped n in the Val
ley all the machinery is Of most i'm
proved pattern. Everything is now
in ship-shape order and will he start
ed up tomorrow. Messrs Washing
ton Bros. is one of the most enter
prising firms we have, and we hope
this enterprise will be fostered and
nurturcd in its infancy in every pos
sible way by the community, especial
ly the farmers, as they will find it will
greatly benefit them. We need all the
local enterprises of this character we
can get, and trust the proprietors will
meet with success.-Democrdt.
