IT IS rumored that more men and
more money will be in Edenton in
short than have ever been here
before. Edenton is surely on the
go ahead and we are glad TO see it.
Edenton is one of the finest located
towns in this State and We can't see
why it will not be one of the leading
towns. 1t is truly one of the prettiest
and, with the bright future that is
now before us, we can certainly soon
say it will be one of the wealthiest-
that is, if our citizens will only put
shoulder to shoulder and help to
make it so.

Some Steel and a Razor.

Mr.. II. NJ. Patty called at our office
yesterday, and opening Il plain razor
case, took out n double concave blade
and presented it to us.
There was not much in that, and vet
there is something Important back OF
it. The razor was made of Rirming-
ham steel, the first steel ever made in
Alabama. The steel is worked from
the common white ores of the Birming-
ham district by the Henderson process.
His process is mainly,swe believe, an
adjustment of the chiml ey draughts,
by which the phosphorusis consumed.
The stock of the company which
controls this patent has risen from 500
to $1,000 per share. Mr.. Nittur, who
made the razor, declares that the steel
is the best American steel he has yet
tested, and that it may obviate the ne
cessity of his importing foreign steel,
which he is now compelled to do.
The razor-making itself is important.
Mr.. Vittur, in Atlanta, makes tn,
concave razor blade, the secret o.
which was for a long time kept in Ger,
man workshops. His razors. scissors,
knives, and all sorts of cutlery com
pare with the best foreign made goods,
and his product is easily sold.
A double concave razor made in At
lanta out of Birmingham steel is an nc.
complishmcnt of what. ten years ago,
would have been considered Il foolish
boast. The South is moving Atjanta
Constitution.

The way in which he repealed one of

lated something like this:

but upon whom adversely had frowned

ting; he had heard that before from
sad-eyed people, and he thought he
OWNED what was coming.
"Would you, Senator, with your
true Southern chivalry, do me a favor
and a great kindness?"
YES, madam, what is-that is-it
depends somewhat-''
''Think well, Senator, before you
promise, for it is a great Kindness"
The tone of the same old song the
Senator had heard many times before
from parties who wanted a so loan.

Saved Gy Cards.

A Georgia drummer tells how his life
was saved By d pack OF cards. At Ameri-
Gus he was one of a merry party who
were engaged one night in a friendly
game of draw" which drummers some
times play. After concluding the game
he placed the cards in the 1cft-hand
pocket of his coat, which brought them
directly over his heart.ASoon thereafter
n of the party, while carclessly hand
ling a pistol, discharged it, and now
ONE the strangest part of the story.
The bullet struck the drummer in the
left breast, going through his clothing
and also through every card in the deck
except one, this one being the bottom
card, or the last one af the deck. This
card, strange to say, was tie ace OF
hearts. and the character in its very cen.
ter was indcntcd by the bullet.
