again wounded in the front line OF

warriors in Syria, in China and in
Mexico. At the battle of Reichshofen
you wero carried from the field amid a
heap of slain cuirassiers. Later ON q

OCTAVIUS COKE FOR COM
MISSIONER.
Cor. of the News and Observer.

Cor. of the News and Observer.
The history of parties is largely
the history of its public men
The chairman of each party gives
tone and temper to his organization.
and is, i'll no small degree, held re-
spOnSible for its failure or success.
Measured by this rule, we propose
to the Legislature the name OF Octa-
vius Coke for railroad commissioner.
The Democratic party has had as
it's chairmen since 1860 -FOwle, Cox,
Ashe, Coke, Battle, Whitaker. We
do not assert Tor Mr. coke a Supe-
riOrity over tIie other gentlemen, but
we do declare that to him North
>-arOlina democracy owes us much
;Or its stalwart aud true manhood as
20 either OF these distinguished gen-
Glemen.
If ever a man worked with more
Fig0r unceaSing, or more skill, in
season ani out o: season for demo
.;ratic principles than Mr.. Coke we
know him not
1t is ii we'll known fact that not
only his time, but his substance was
at the service OF his party, whose
principles he values beyond money
and beyond price. 10 such a degree
did the democracy OF the state
esteem him that, in 1884, from all
parts of the State, came friends ell
thuSiaStic i'll his behalf, who voted
for him as d candidate for Governor
of the State,
The Coke who deserved and re-
ceived the plauditS of many just men
in 1884 is the Coke of 1889, save for
the four years of wisdom which have
been added, and which have caused
those who know him to be grappled
to him as friends, yea, even with
hooks of steel
Since the year 1868 the eloquent
voice of Mr.. Coke has been heard in
the land, sounding the charge of the
democratic hosts, for the white mans
government, for the hopes Of his
people!
In years yet to come, the demo
Gratis Of North Carolina will recall
with thankfulneSs the efforts of Mr..
Coke in their behalf Yes, when
time has past, and many of us are
forgotten, will the name of Octavius
Coke be cherished.
AS a true Democrat, and as true
man, yea, even as a man who would
suffer martyrdom for his principles,
we know him.
Whoever knew Octavius Coke to
turn a deaf ear to the cry of demOc-
racy?
Whoever knew Octavius Coke to
turn his face from friend or bis
back to an adversary? If there be
such a one, let him stand forth
While we depreciate the efforts or
the claims Of no man, we yet do say
and do earnestly insist that if party
and success as party
leader, and spending Of ones self
and substance be the measure Of
mans claims to Office. then in every
deed is Capt. Coke almost without
a peer in North Carolina
Let the legislature elect Mr.. Coke !
as one of the railroad commissioners,
and party fealty and party faithful
less will be at a premium, and from
Ill over the State will go up cry
If thankfulness that another faithful
servant has been rewarded.

For many years | have held to the
opinion that no employment offers bet
ter opportunities for young men to ac-
quire start in lite than work on n
farm Here are some cases in point /:
The son, eighteen years old, Of our
washerwomau. has $3.50 drawing six
per cent. interest. which he has saved
since he was fourteen years old. In
addition, he will 10 few DAYS receive
Sl40 for seven months labor the past
summer. 800 of which he proposes to
loan, making $3.50 in all. the interest
Of which will buy him good suit OF
clothes each year. He hopes TO have
$500 laid by when he attains his ma
ioritv. This sum he intends to invest
in ten acres Of good land. working a
few wears more to earn team and
tools when he will be in fair way to
be independent for life
The course OF another Young nan is
in direct contrast with the above.
Fourteen years ago. when sixteen years
old. he began to drive team for a
farmer near town at s25 per month.
He worked for the same man until
few months ago. losing but little time.
Wages are lower now, and for the last
two years he has received only 5000
per wear, but for the whole time his
wages have probably averaged $3.50
per Wear. OF this amount he could
have easily saved $3.50 per year. or a
total Of 81, 100. the interest Of which
would have increased it To So 900. In
stead OF this. when finally discharged
on account of drunkenness. he had
nothing ahead He hal drawn his
wages aud spent them as he went along
Three Years ago had IN my employ
through the summer months Young
man who graduated the following year
at a village high school where the
standard OF scholarship Was high. He
was "A capable farm laborer. Int this
was too slow and quiet life for him
SO hc went to Cleveland. where lie
works a driver on street railroad.
His associates are low and uneducatcd.
and doubt If he has saved cent.
Farm life NAV be slow and quiet, but
1t keeps Young men occupied either
working or resting. and 1t i not n
expensive for clothes as those occupa-
patched or ragged garments. The flrm
haud has neither the opportunity nor
the temptation 10 spend money that
