There j. much agitation along the
line Of the Atlantic Il North Caroli-
na Railroad upon the question Of a
change in the presidency and man
agcmpnt. The State owns a large
interest in this property, and there
fore the people Of the entire State
are concerned. There is decided OPP
position to the present administra-
ton, and Il general demand for an
able, popular and influential man to
bn put in charge. The friends of
the Hon. +. NJ. Simmons are pre-
-,nting his name for the presidency
and it strikes us that Gov. FOWlc
viii he exceedingly fortunate if he
can secure the position to so able
and infiunntia! person. Few men
from the State have ever takcu so
high Il position during their first
term in Congress as he did in the
last, and especially did he cndear
himself to the farmers of the South
by his prompt effort to put jute upon
the free list and thereby break down
the bagging trust. The Alliances
along the line OF the road are urging
his name for the place, and we are
quite sire his appointment would
meet with general approval. In
fact the Alliance in this section
would be delighted to see such a
man in almost any position of honor
or trust within the gift Of the State.

Cultivation OF Cranes.

A California paper gives some inter
esting facts relative to the growing Of
grapes. 1t says: ''The total expense
Of cultivating.an acre of grapes is SIS /;
the curing and packing of an acre of
grapes, making 100 boxes of raisins,
$55. The average price of raisins for
the last four years has been about SLIGO
per box. Putting the price at S1.5o
per box for the four grades, we have a
total net profit of $95 an acre. Many
vineyards do better than the above.
Vineyards have frequently been known
to produce grapes enough the first year
after planting to pay expenses of cul-
tivation. The second year brings from
$50 to $50 per acre gross; third year,
$50 to $75. New York Telegram.

THE case came up before tho Jus

plaintiff, but the law was absolute on
the question, and the defendant could
not be oustcd. No sooner had he finish

the defendant n singing blow behind

tho plaintiff jumped on him and bc-

Ia Europe men dislike to hear wo-

Us the pSrt of politeness To discuss poll
teal questions with them. Tho story
is told of young French countess Of
great beauty, who, Mt a recent recep-

views of Gen. Boulanger
One of the company was a learned
Academician, prominent in literature,
who, while the petty countess was
talking, appeared TO take littlo notice
of what she was saying.
This absence OF mind vexed the
lady. Presently sho turned 10 tho

WHAT IS CHARITY.

1t is not the gift ostentation bestows
Nor the tear that from sentiment languidly flows,
Nor the cushion that's spread for a purple robed
guest
Nor the bidding the wealthy and proud to a feast
But ask of the GOspel-its pages have said,
II is love to the creature your maker has made
And if in the heart the good tree taketh root,
II will shed oer the life its most beautiful fruit
'Tis the little address" in the wiping tear.
Tis the whisper of hope in the desolate ear.
'Tis the smile of encouragement, given TO one
Whom malign degradation had marked for her own.
'Tis the answer that turns away anger and wrath;
'Tis the hand that strews roses in misery's path
Ts the foot that treads softly the chamber of pain
'Tis the gin that the giver expects not again.
'Tis the word that Is said in absent ones praise
OR TO save from disbonor, distrust or disgrace:
lis the thought that would wound never uttered in
jest.
The apology urged the fault frankly confessed.
lis the hiding what others would not wish revealed
-Tis friends secret error forever concealed;
Aud in every transaction that's open TO view.
TYs to act as you'd wish others acted BY you-

THINK 1T OYER,

The conviction is becoming well settled
that the problem of manufacturing in this
city and county must receive its practical
settlement by building from the ground
up. so to speak. We have iron in album
dance, ruro in quality, easily worked and
contiguous to a railroad. IF manufacture
ing then is such a desideratun with us
why not begin with some industry which
will tend to develop both town and county,
provided that that industry has at least
equal chances of success with any other
proposed industry.
1HE LEADER has always favored the
proposition of building a smclter, because
ITS establishment costs less than any
mandatory that has yet been mentioned;
It will use raw material Of which we have
an abundant supply that is not now being
utilized; it will thus direct the attention of
capitalists to this material and before we
realize inst what has happened an indus
try that will greatly benefit the entire
territory will have been established. The
market for raw pig iron is a large and in.
c%reasing n and with the supply of
material SO close TO town We could reason
ably hope for other industries which are
dependent upon iron being started here.
Stove ioundries and similar establish
mcnts would come here almost as a matter
Of course if they had the inexpensive raw
material wrthin ready access. If we are
To give subsidies for the establishment of
industries here. why not take into consid-
Grafton the question of starting a foundry?

We don't believe in ,pirits-in n
way, manner, shape or form-but
wednesday evening quite n party as
sembled at the residence of Mr.. ]. r.
Forester to have n table rapping, and
tho results Of that meeting were wonder
full. Tho table used was an ordinary
wooden one and the circle was formed
by some of tho party seating themselves
around it and placing their hands in
such n manner as to form n circuit. For
some time the table remained unmoved,
but after a little more time it began to
bob about and move from one end of the
room to the other. Then the medium
said that the spirits were at work.
OF course we didn't believe in that, but
as tho table raised up from the floor cold
chills passed up and down Il r back and
a fit of trembling seized hold upon us.
We didn't nave any confidence in the
spirit part of the performances, under,
stand, but we trembled all the same. AT
one time the table was raised n consider
able distance from the floor, falling with
such force rs to break it to pieces. Some
of tho names given by the spirits were
only known by n of tho party in the
room; at other times tho names were
unrecognized. The messages delivered
were, some of them, quite startling, and
were enough to mako n believer of the
most incredulous. Verify, some strange
things happen Mt these meetings, and
they aro things which wecan't explain at
