We know that a small country
paper, faithfully edited, Is really
worth more to the county IN which
it is published and mainly circu-
IateS. than a dozen mammoth
Northern or Southern weeklies or
huge daihes published beyond the
State. North Carolina needs always
North Carolina papers. 1t has
never received justice at the hands
Of even Southern papers in other
States. But home patronage is not
confined to newspapers. The prin>
ciple has wide, a sweeping. all
embracing application. The people
who rush from home to buy every
thing will live and die a poor, de-
pendent people. Mark that. The
people who produce what they con.
sumo are the only independent peO.
pie.
This way of going out Of the State
to procure articles that are produces
ed in the State is bad way to build
up and to foster spirit of inde-
pendence. You are not expected to
patrOnIZe home folks when they are
eXOrbitant in charges-when they
practice upon your eXtortIOn. But
when you can get at home any ar
ticle at a small advance upon what
it can be procured elsewhere it is
not Leightorly or sympathetic or
public spirited to send away for it.
Help develop home industry and
home enterprises. That will be
found a good rule to work by.

Our Solid Basis.

The Twin-City Daily says the fol
lowing concerning the basis OF South
ern prosperity:
All the history of the past stands
forth in support of the assertion that
an agricultural people have always
been more sturdy and less profigate
than those engaged in any other pur-
suits They are free from the cor
rupting influences that entangle the
unsuspecting of other occupations
in more crowded communities. Thee
is no better safeguard for the stability
OF nation than sturdy, prosperous
agricultural populace. The fact that
its material value is not always its
greatest value is recognized when
the character of an agricultural pco-
pie is considered, and when we re-
fleet that the noblest types Of mans
hood, tue men that have done most
for the world, have come from the
rural districts.
We are fortunate to have so firm a
basis to build upon, and to have the
influence Of our conservative and
powerful Agricultural populace to
counteract the influence OF the dis
turbing elements that usually follow
rapid industrial growth.

Laughter IL Good.
Spirit of the Agc.)

Spirit of the Age
1t Is the proper thing to be sober
sometimes, but it is not the proper
thing for a man to be all the time
looking just as il he had buried his
last friend. 1t is unnatural. We
must have our dark days-our rainy
days it Is true-but after the dark
ness and the storm have passed, the
sun comes out again as b,9ht and
glorious as ever, and the birds sing,
and the very leaves Of the trees seem
to clap their uands for joy.
We love to gee a man laugh, and
there is nothing better for a dys-
peptlc than to fall into the company
of men who can, with their good
humOred witticIsms, shake him up a
little, and make him Cov a time, at
least, put on a cheerful face. A
good, hearty laugh Is better many q
time, than liver pill. Laugh ard
grow fat, is an old proverb, bu,,
somehow or somehow else, We never
could do enough laughing to make
the flesh grow on our bones-but we
like to see cheerful people and a
good laugh all the same. What we
mean by this article is simply, that
people should he cheerful and not
60 through the world looking like
tomb stones, and thereby making

The Maxton Union says that it
would be q humane act for the Com
mittee Of Arrangements at the Fay
etteville Constitutional Centennial
to enforce an order that no one
shall shake hands with ex-President
Davis more than once. The Stute
Chronicle suggests that everybody
be allowed to shake his hand twice
once for "howdy" and again for
goodbye" The roor old man is
over so years old and they surely do
net intend for h1m to turn his right
arn into a pump~handIe. 1t would
kill bim to shake hands one time
around with the great crowd that
will be present, If he should get
an inkling of this handshaking bu
siness, We shall know how to &C
count for the convenient illness that
will befalI him about the time of the

PARKERsBURG, w. Va, March 12.-W. ID.
SprOwl, manager of the firm of Austin,
Nichols & Co., of New York, whose sudden
and mysterious disappearance, on the 4th
inst, caused great sensation among
metropolitan newspapers, has turned up in
this city alive, and at this time in sound
mental condition. Last Saturday evening
a stranger applied to Mr.. j. NJ. jackson, of
the firm of Shattuck d Jackson, wholesale
grOcers for situation. Although there
was no vacancy, Mr. Jackson, attracted by
the gentlemen's appearance, called him
into his private room and interviewed him.
He learned that his name was SprOwl, and
that he was from New York. Fortunately,
Mr.. jackson had read accounts of the dis
appearance of a man named Sprowl in that
city, and believing that the one before him
was the person referred to, he kindly took
him to a hotel where a few hours rest
brought him around all right, and he is
now in sound mind and anxious to 90 home.
Sprowl had been travelling about the cOun-
try ever since ne left New York, without
money being assisted from point to point
by gentlemen who recognized him as a
brother Mason. Sprowrs brother is here.
and they will start on their return to New
York tonight
