MONROE is to have a new weekly
paper. The Charlotte Ne7os says Mr..
M. A. Underwood has bought the
type, presses and fixtures of the old
Charlotte Observer office, and the
same have been shipped to Monroe to
do service hereafter. Mr.. Underwood
was editor of the Southern Planter,
of which Mr.. W. ]. Boylin, of the En-
Qnirer and Express was owner, until
its publication was discontinued few
weeks ago.

The terrible storm that ragged during
nearly the whole of last week around
New York city and along the Atlantic
coast, has done immense damage. The
newspapers have been filled with har-
rowing accounts of shipwrecks, railroad
washouts and destruction of property
without end. One hundred lives have
been lost by drowning, etc., and fifty
vessels have gone down in the gale.
The damage in New York city itself
has not been SO great, but the destruc
ton along the coast has been almost
incalculable. An idea of the Storm
fury can be obtained from the statemen
that the famous watering place, Coney
Island, has been damaged to tn
amount of $4,000. 1t is by far thu
worst storm in years, with the singh
exception of the blizzard in March
1888.

THE SEABOARD AIRLINE.

The Seaboard Airline system OF
railways are rapidly pushing their in
terests Southwark. The construction
of the Georgia, Carolina & Northern
Railroad is but the initiatory step to a
grand through line between the North
and South via Henderson and Raleigh.
Work on this line from Chester, S. c.,
to Athens, Ga, is being pushed with
all possible vigor, more than 1000
hands being at work already on the
various sections, the contracts for which
were recently let. The Baltimore
Manufacturers Record says on the
subject.
The Seaboard & Roanoke system is
stretching out its arms in various d.
rections, and is pushing one line rapid
ly through South Carolina to Atlanta
which will not only furnish another
through route between the North and
the South, but will open up very FINE
country. Some 200 miles of road are
included in this extension, much o
it under contract, and the rails for tht
whole distance have been bought.
Of this same road the Wilmington

DIR. GRISSOM'S SUCCESSOR.

DR.. VIM. R. Wood of Scotland Neck,
Halifax county, was last week elected
Superintendent of the North Carolina
Insane Asylum, at Raleigh, to succeed
DIR. Eugene Grissom. The Board of
Directors have done we'll. We know
DR.. Wood, and in all the range of our
acquaintance we do not know BETTER
man. We suppose he is as we'll quail
fed to fill the position as any man in
the State who has not had special
training and experience in the line of
duty to which he is called. A we'll
furnished physician OF long and sue
cessful practice, a courteous, high
toned, chivalrous gentleman, a man of
vigorous intellect, cultivated talent,
generous impulses, kind and sympa-
thetic nature, and in the very prime
of life and usefulness, we regard him
in every way a fit successor of DR..
Grissom, in Justice to whom it must be
said has done Il great work for the
State and the unfortunate persons who
were placed under his care and treat
ment, whatever else may now be said
of him.
Knowing DR.. Wood as we do, and
believing him to be admirably suited
for the duties of the high and RESPONSE
BILE position to which he has been ele,
waited, his election isparticular CRAFTY

the election Dr. Wood was endorsed
by the Board of Health of Halifax
county. The Board is composed 0
physicians among whom he associated
and practiced his profession, and wht
know and appreciate his worth ane

whose editor is a native of Scotland
Neck, and who. knows whereof h
speaks, said this:
The position is one which should b

fact that he is now and has bee

A Marvel of Simplicity.
From the Western Insurance Review,
July, 1885,

From the Western Insurance Review,
July, 1885,
The great Equitable Life has an
nounced new policy contract. 1t is
one which we predict will awaken a
worldwide interest from the very
start. This policy happens to be in
the very line of what we have been
hoping to see. The Equitable has
happened to harness up one of our
hobbies and has started it upon a
triumphal tour that will be continuous.
We take no credit at all, but feel
mighty proud over it, all the same.
This policy is 4 marvel of simplicity.
From the New York Insurance Journal
Like all conditions that emanate
from this excellent company, it pro-
poses, as near as actual science will
permit, to meet the vic,ssitudes of life.
SO that if its policy holders should be
overtaken by misfortune they will find
III tlC pOlNt lSIlCl IlStCdO vi III Clt-
ure, compensation and not cancella
ton.
We strongly recommend this new
policy of the Equitable as worthy Of
adoption.
From the Budget, Toronto. July, 1889.
To sum up, we close as we began,
by saying the Equitable Life is bound
to get ahead and keep there. OF this
determination the new policy is at
once the best evidence, as also it is,
from its liberality and simplicity,
coupled with the undoubted security
afforded by the immense resources of
the Society, the best means to that
end, to say nothing of the valuable
benefits to be derived by the policy
holders. These benefits are impor-
tant, self-evident and unquestionable.

! tier after tier of stone seats ran up the
slanting sides of the hill. The stage is mar
row, but probably well adapted to the mere
reciting of a play, as seems to have been
their mode. Some little machinery was
used in connection with the stage Several
! triumphal arches yet grace tie streets:
statues of noted men were in all public
places, aud due honors seem to have been
given all heroes. The pleasures of kind
which we would rather not notice. were
common. Not a few streets were the
abodes of the women who lent themselves
to hellish purposes. The frescoing of the
rooms they occupied and the stone furni-
ture of their vile uses, are shocking TO all
sightseers who gain admittence. Many of
the statues and pictures found are so OBJ
scene. that they are hid from public gaze.
The city was resort of rich men Of Rome,
and nature is so lavish of her beauties that
it must have been a favorite resort Cicero
is known to have had villa here and we
do not like to connect the learned Romans
name with
THE LICZNTIoCsEEss OF THB CITY.
The villas Of these noted rich men of Rome
are elegant to behold; the rooms are gen
orally small, but every wall is frescoed,
and the mosaics on the floors are an inter
esting study. On the threshold of many
OF these buildings, engraved in large char

more artistic than those of the present day;
they are specimens of art that evoke the
admiration of every beholder.
Many bakeries abound, and some of
THE OVENS WERE FULL OF BREAD
when found. The loaves may be seen at
the museum Of Naples. They are round,
and weigh about two pounds: some are
stamped to indicate they are of wheat -four.
Different grains were also found, and may
be seen at the same place. In connection
with bakery, are some ungainly stone
mills. They are formed of two large blocks
Of stone Of cone shape, the smaller ends
being placed together, so they resemble
somewhat huge hourglasses. The upper
stone alone turned, and the grain was
crushed between them. Sometimes the
servants of the place turned the mill; at
other times slaves, for some misdemeanOr,
had their eyes put out, and then they were
set to work at grinding, by pushing on a
long sweeper pole.
A large portion Of this mornings HER
AID might be taken up with the description
of this wonderful, ancient city and its con

amusement, the amphitheater where gladi-
atorial combats were once engaged in. The
"a dens, the shops, the stables, are all in
teresing. c.
