Col. John w. CoTToN, Of Tarboro,
1--WE know him we'll, and an excellent
gentleman he Isl has resigned his COM
mission as Colonel of the First North
Carolina Regiment. This makes the
Wilson Mtyor say:
Our brave gallant, and chivalrous
friend Col. John w. Cotton of the
First North Carolina Regiment has re-
signed. No noblier spirit ever ANNA
ted maplier mould than that which
makes grand and majestic the knightly
form of the true John Cotton.
Col. Cotton's friends pressed his
claims for Brigadier General, the po-
sition to which Capt. w. H. Anthony,
of Halifax, was appointed by Gov.
Fowle. Col. Cotton was in the di-
rect line of promotion, it is true, but
we suppose his resignation has no sig
pihcance with the fact.

The bill requiring railroads to fence
their tracks has been reported avorably
by committee of one Of the Houses
Of the Legislature. A favorable report
by acommittee usually insures the pas.
sage of an act, but we hope it will not
follow in this case. 1t seems to us an
injustice to the railroads and besides
would be great inconvenience, because
if the track ola railroad was fenced
its entire length gates would have to
be built at each crossing and in all
towns, and if all the fences were not to
run across roads and through towns
the object for which they would be pre-
sumably erected would fail. These
fences would not protect stock and
would be serious annoyance to travel
ers on the public hIghways.-Roanokt

A TOWN Is JUDGED BY IT'S
NEWSPAPERS.

We know, by common report, that
Winston, Reidsville and Henderson
are live business towns, but one would
not conclude SO from the advertising
columns OF their newspapers. We
know that the business people of those
places are making mistake in thus
concealing from the general public the
business enterprise of their towns, for
however we'll certain of their customers
and correspondents may know all
about the merit and extent of their
products and trade, there are many
more who do not, and there are hun
dreds of men OF money and enterprise
who every year examine the local pa
pers Of all North Carolina towns, in
pursuit of good Investments, and are
often turned away towards other States
on account of the poor advertising
shown in the newspapers generally, OF
our State Wilmington Messenger.
1t was only last week that we said a
town is usually judged by the adver-
Using columns of its newspapers. This
some people do not seem to think.
They have no idea what effect the
Withholding of their patronage from the
papers have in the public mind abroad
"By their fruits We shall know them,
and by the advertising columns of their
newspapers people judge what manner
of business men town has. We have
frequently written on this subject before
but "self-interest" on the part of the
publisher is too often the unfair and
unkind comment. There is another
light in which to view the matter, and
there is also "self-intetest," but toe
many people do not appear to recog'
nize the fact and sieze upon and i'm
prove the opportunity as they should
The Messenger is not the only pa
per that regards our town in the man
ner above stated. How can our bust
ness men expect to make the outside
world think we are really the progress
sive, enterprising and prosperous com
munity that we claim to be five give the
lie to such claim in the most direC
and emphatic matter, as the public
judge these things? Is there consist
ency in it?

The agricultural interests are to be
represented in more practical sort of
way in the affairs of the general gov
eminent hereafter. A new department
has been created and a new cabinet
officer appointed. The bill creating
an agricultural bureau and a cabinet
officer to be called the Secretary of
Agriculture has become law and the
Presidents nomination of Norman !.
Colman, of Missouri, for some time
Commissioner of agriculture, has been
confirmed by the Senate. Mr.. Col
mans term as a cabinet officer will be

The Farmers Legislature is proba-
bly, no improvement upon other SINH
lar bodies. They vote down a much
needed dog law for the protection OF
themselves, and they have voted against
a bill prohibiting themselves from hold
ing newly created Offices. They do
not mean to be cut off from good fat
places by their own brave, unsel1sh
action, and they do not mean to debar
the "daugs' the privilege of roaming

THERE is vim, vitality, wit and wis

of North Carolina now know that he
has an eye single to their welfare, and
the good and glory of the State.

THERE are many ways by which Hen
derson can be made still more thriv-

lent way to attain that end is for our
citizens, especially those of means, to
invest literally, and if they have land

provements advocated by more enter
prising citizens, or, in other words,
don't be afraid that an improvement
will cost something and add dollar

After seeing fair woman in the dress
which most suits her, you no more wish
to see her in any other than to see an
oriole in pink or robin in parrot green.
When women learn the art of dress they
will need much less in the way of
Quitting than they do now
changes for the seasons, that is
all. 1t is your cheap, prononce
ill-chosen gowns, less fit than fash
ionable, which one tires of soon, and if
women did but know it, there is but one
style becoming to each one of them,
which brings out her good points and
supresses poor ones, which we would be
glad to see her in continually. Mary
Stuart had fifty grand dresses, stiff
with gold and minever, and shot with
rubies and pearls as modern gown is
with jet, but who ever wishes to think
of her in any costume but that
of her picture, the black velvet
gown: fitting easily the supple figure,
the transparent cuffs and ruff of point
lace, the net of pearls and the white veil.
She being beautiful, graceful woman,
could do with wardrobe of few dresses,
compared with the royal trump, Elizabeth
Regime, who had 5000 toilets, some of
which, we are told, exist to this day. But
she needed something gorgeous to take
peoples eyes from her black teeth, as
she told one of her counsellors. Good
looks are an economy.-[Sh Shirley Dare.

SIT was real pleasure to battle Mrs.
Langtry," said the woman, "she was 30
beautiful. Most women take medicine
when they don't feel we'll, but Mrs.
Langtry took bath. She ordered the
kind she needed, and it varied according
to her feelings. Sometimes she would
come here with book and sit for two
hours with her feet in hot water, study
ing a part, and the steam rolling up
about her in clouds. The first Of these
foot baths cost her $50, she told
me, and it was the only time l
ever saw her angry. She was suffering
from sick headache and she wanted the
bath kept at certain temperature for a
full hour. While l was adjusting the
steam she laid her book aside and did
not resume it for half an hour. In the
meantime the vapor moistened the leaves,
the ink ran all over the paper, and there
wasn't a legible page in the book when
she came to open it. 1t cost her $50
to have the work copied. At her
bath Mrs. Langtry always had me
rub her down with fine salt
and alcohol to bring the blood to the
surface and keep her from taking cold.
Many a time have kneaded her to
break up cold taken the night before,
