How 40 gowhere Elijah went

One Of our good subscribers in another
part Of the county met US recently, and
said that when he subscribed for THE
DEMOCRAT last fall he did not expect t.
take it longer than through the campaign;
but he sail be does not now see how h.
can do without 1t. Then he said:
"If you want to 90 where Elijah went
Don't owe an editor single cent"
Then he scratched down IN his pocket
and ratified out the balance Of his sub
scrirtjon and seemed perfectly well sat
isfed that he Is getting the worth of his
money every week. Remember his
cOup)ct, friend.

q Smart little Girl,

The Reidsville Rerjcr tells the follow
ing which the boys at least of Eastern
Carolina might well consider:
"Between here and Winston live an
old time family named Stockton. They
live at home as ouI informant expresses
it and have got corn in the big crib and
sugar in the closet. Their hospitality to
strangers is of the good old patriarch
style, they cannot do too much for a
guest. Our informant says that the
daughter, beautiful blue eyed young
girl just thirteen, in PLAIN, neat, country
dress, and barefooted, played for him on
the piano-hcr little hands were burned
by the sun and she was then tending a
patch of three thousand hills of tobacco.
THIS little girl bought and paid for the
piano herself with money she had saved
from selling fruit"

The press of North Carolina has
never been more ably and carefully
presided over by scholarly men as
a whole than now. l. is true there
are many young men at the desk in
the various newspaper offices Of the
State; but for the most part they
are not there looking for an easy job.
They are there for honest, manful ,
ennobling work. They use the pen
and the scissors as a profession and
not as make-ahift until something
better turns up. The State never
owed more to its editors than 1t
owes to-day.

Hamlet replies:

INHUMAN ATTENDANTS
Bruise and Blacken a Paralytic Hos
pitaI Patient to Hush His Groans.

CHIcAGo, April 10.
James Botten, a bed-ridden psraytic and
also suffering acutely from Brights disease,
is a patient at the Home for Incurables in
this city. few days ago when his wife and
daughter visited him they found his face
bruised, eyes blackene1 and tongue badly
cut by his teeth. He told them that those
injuries were inflicted by the attendants at
the institution, who were in the habit OF
striking him with their fists to prevent him
from groaning when suffering terrible parox-
ysms of pain.
His wife and daughter complained to the
Woman's Protective Association, which
made Bn investigation. The results indicated
that the management of the institution was
guilt, of heartless cruelty to the unfortu-
mates in its care. Botten died yesterday. The
coroner's jury today returned verdict that
he came to his death from heart clot. They
believe he was subjected TO acts of violence
and abuse which may FASTENED his decease,
and recommend that the matter be investi-
gated by the grand jury.

NEWARK, n j., April 10.
One hundred and twenty men and bows
employed in Ciarke's o. \. T. threa ad work
Al East Newark, went on a strike this morn
ing against fifteen per GENT. reduction of
wages. Forty of the men are spinners en-
pioyed in the factory in Kearney, and the
others are helpers, known as piecers and
creelers.
There was no reduction in the pay of the
helpers and they were not obliged to quit.
they did so lest they be compelled 10 take
the spinners places, new men being found
to do the helping.
Clark says the strike will not affect opera
tons in the least. There is yarn enough on
hand TO run four weeks, and by that time
we will have received all we require from
the mills in Paisley, Scotland. In EGG
land the spinners' wages are 80 per week
Here our men have been averaging Sly -
per week on the p ece plan, and some IL. ~
$40 and s2l per week.
The strikers say tha. in East Newark or
the kearney mills they have 500 more spin
dies to care for than the Newark operative.
and can therefore earn more than in the
Newark mill but the firm noE wants them
to care for extra looms for nothing. I he
men also detail number of grievances such
As time lost in cleaning and dotfing ma
chiuery, ETC.. etc. They go TO work at {. 80
every morning.
IL is thought the strike will spread through
out the mills and fe ct 1000 hands as all are
in sympathy with the strikers ami do not
want to see them beaten. Tn. trouble is
attributed to the new superintendent Walms-
ley, Scotchman, whose ambition seems 10
be TO force wages down TO the figures prevail
ing in Scotland. The strikers are orderly
and do not loi,er about the mills.
