Black Pepper.

The two kinds of black pepper
known to this country come from Su-
matra and Singapore. Very little pep
per is busted before it is ground, not
withsLanding the claims of spice
grinders. The shell or skin on good
pepper contains the essential constitu-
ents of the spice much more than the
inside or kernel, which, when free
from the shell produces white, not
black pepper; but the heavy grains,
with the she'll on, make the best pep
per. The Singapore pepper, which is
the best, is separated into heavy and
light grains and the better quality
the heavv-is mostly sold whole, while
the light grains are ground. 1t is bet

pepper and grind it herself.-Go0d

A ChiId's Pity:

No sweeter thing than chlldren's ways and
Surely, we say, can gladden. eyes and ears;
Yet som times sweeter than their words or
smiles
Are even their tears.
To one for once riteous tale was read,
How when the murderous mother croco-
Was slain, her fierce brood furnished. and lay
dead
Starved, by the Nile.
In vast green reed-beds on the vast gray
slime
These monsters motionless and helpless lay,
Perishing only for the parents crime
Whose seed were they.
Hours after, toward the dusk. one blithe
OF Paradise, who has our hearts in keep
ing,
Was heard or seen. but hardly seen or heard,
For pity weeping.
He was go sorry, sitting still apart,
For the poor little crocodies. he said.
SIX y ars had given him, for an angels
4 chids instead.
Feigned tears the false beasts shed for MUIR
We know from travellers tales of croco-
dies;
But these tears wept upon them of my friends
Outshine his smiles.
What heavenliest angels of what heavenly
city
Could match the heavenly heart in children
here2
The heart that hAlowing oil things with Its
pity
Casts out all fear2
So lovely, so divine, go dear their laughter
Seems to us, we know not what could be
more dear;
But lovelier yet we see the sign thereafter
Of such q tear.
With sense of love half laughing and half
weeping
We met your tears, our small sweet-spirited
friend;
Let your love have us in its heavenly keep

every important bill of need

ABOUT A CERTAIN WHISKY SEoP.
Editor DEMOCRAT:
Two miles below MOnville,
at the mouth OF North Fork
of Cove Creek, within two
hundl yards of a public
school house, is a whisky
shop-a real doggery. This
shop has been set up by the
authority ofour('ountyCom-
missioners, and is owned by
a Wilkes county whisky man.
Have our Commissionersfor-
gotten that, four years ago
last May, the citizens of Cove
Creek township voted on this
question, and that 83 of the
voters at the ballot box said
No License and AZ said Lii
cense?
Have our County Commits
sioners authority to override
or set aside a law of the State
in order to accommodate a
whisky seller? Do our Com
missioners fear a whisky sell
er more than they do the laws
of the State of North Carroll
ma? Thegood people OF that
section petitioned the Com
missioners not to grant IL
cense to sell whisky toa man
who evidently cares nothing
for the good or peace of our
county, just SO he can get
their money for his poison.
But those lordly Commissions

This last half of the ninc-
teenth century is a fast and
progressive age, either for
good or evil, which is it? Let
us compare the present with
the past, and note a few OF
the most important profes-
sions and occupations of in
dustry which are most pro-
ductive Of human happiness
or misery.
RELIGIOUS.
First, we will consider Reli-
gion, as it more nearly con-
Germs us, inasmuch as it af-
fects us in q two-fold sense-
for time and eternity. Is the
Church as pure aud holy now
as in the past? Wefear not.
! 1t seems to us that there ale
too many isms, too many
appendagas attached to the
/ Church and too much of the
modern thought. All, in a
word, the Church is too
worldly. So many professed
Church members seem to car
ry their religion in one hand
and the world in the other
Is the Church, in it's faith,
its doctrine and practice, as
simple, pure, holy and apos-
tolic as in the past? The
echo gives u negative answer.
How is the ministry? In
the past, simple, pure, evan
gelical, faithful ministers were
inspired to cry, Woe is me if
! preach not the gospel! We
now have many able divincs
who preach the gospel in it's
simplicity and purity, while
many, all! too many, make
merchandise Of the gospel.
AGRICULTURAL.
| Agriculture, in a temporal
sense, is the foundation oi
human Subsistence. tits time
honored, for it is coeval with
mans creation. Hence, its
vital importante to mans
existence. Yet, statesmen
and politicians seem to re.
gard it as Of secondary, Or ol
third or fourth grade in Their
legislation. Ii agriculture
had as much protection as
! the manufacturing industry
its progress and success
would rapidly developa more
healthy and prosperous sys
tenn Of farming, and We woulc
not see so many Of our farm
ers' sons leaving efarm fol
