Soldiers Home.
TIC the Confederate Veterans Association Il

TIC the Confederate Veterans Association in
the Counties of North Carolina.
Comrades: We desire to call your at
tention to the provisions Of our constitu-
tion directing that the annual elections
for officers shall take place on the fourth
day of July in each year. We earnestly
hope that there will be large attendance
of veterans at the courthouse (unless some
other place of assembling shall be desig-
nated) in each county at IL o'clock on
that day, and the regular organization
continued and strengthened. If the meet
ing shall have been arranged for another
day, or shall not be held on the 4th of
July, it is not material, providing the
veterans shall surely be called together
at some time.
The executive committee have deter.
mined to wait no longer for adequate sub
scriptions, but boldly to assume the re-
sponsibility of opening Soldiers Home
for the care of such of our needy deserving
comrades as require to be supported by
charity. At present it is probable that
the hotel building at Ridgeway, donated
by Col. Heck, will be too large for i'm
mediate purposes, and we may begin in q
smaller way at Raleigh, or some accessible
locality.
For the support of this Home, we throw
ourselves upon the abounding charity of
the people of North Carolina, and we ap-
peal particularly to the members of the
Confederate Veterans Association to see
that proper interest is enkindled in every
town and township 10 the State.
We especially invoke the aid of the
women of North Carolins, foremost in
every work of love and kindness, and we
ask that the Veterans Associations of
each and every county constitutes q
central committee of ladies no: less than
FIVE in every county town in the State.
The names of the members of this COM
mittee, particularly the chairman, should
be forwarded at once to W. G. Stronach,
Secretary, Raleigh, N. c., who will
correspond with the committees concern
the methods of raising funds for the sup
port of the Home. Us. CARE,
President.

Cleveland Springs.
JUNE STH, 1;

JUNE STH, 1890.
In our many years visits to Cleveland
Springs. to dav we can but note the fact
that our hair is of different ti1ge than on
the first occasion-but no change in the
volume of sulphur water that gushes out
of the rock, so impregnated that on each
recurring year one has to take "pony"
glass to create desire for more copious
draughts-accIimated to its fragrance.
The water is superior to the Greenbrier
White Sulphur, Virginia, and this fact is
acknowledged by all who have visited
this charming resort. The hotel, which
is situated on the crest of the hill, has
been greatly improved. Messrs Wilkin-
son and Fore, proprietors, have added
new buildings which contain excellent ac-
commodations, and with Mr. Withers' as
sistance, provide literally for the comfort
and convenience of their guests. We
will in the near future note the medicinal
properties of the different waters from
analysis.

and examined the books and there found
that Messrs A. B. and G. had returned
their property at an under valuation;
that many, some ministers, even had not
returned their salaries, etc." We are
told that Mr. Haydn was the Originator
of the plan to publish the returns and
through his suggestions the Board passed
the ordinance" Who gave the Chroni

Will Mr. Haydn go to the city treasurer's

penditures of the city of Charlotte? The
chronicle reporter in his general rounds

Endorsement of this plan. There will be
no competition for publishing this list

THE VALUE OF ExPER1ENcE.-A good
story is told of Republican candidate
Tor the Assembly nomination in this coun

year ago a man applied to him for . con
tract to drill we'll. "Have you ever
drilled any wells?" asked the oil man.
"No," said the applicant. "Well," said
the oil man, IL must have q man OF expe.
rience.
Last week these two again met, and
our oil producer, who had never held az
Office, asked the driller to vote for him
"Have you ever had seat in the Legis.

said the candidate. SWELL" said the

bringing to New York or Washington the

built, which are still discernable in the

az We hear a great deal nowadays
about the papers OF the principal cities OF
| the United States; great deal of guessing g
80 to their business profits, DC. The
public would be surprised to know of the
| comparatively few papers that make
| money in the large citiee. Start With
New York, whose population is something
like three and a halt million, including
Brooklyn and other neighboring towns.
There are not more than six or eight
papers there that pay, only two or three
| that can be called gold mines. Phila.
delphia has at least Eve excellent papers,
but only two of them make money.
Chicago has at least six splendid papers,
but only three make money. Only one
paper in Cincinnati makes money, and
only one 10 Louisville. Atlanta has two
daily papers-one morning and one after
noou. They are both msrvels of enter.
prise, and beth seem TO be making money.
The Times Democrat and the Evening
Ssstes-a sort of name sake of the Rich
moud State-are the only papers in New
Orleans that pay. The newspaper bust
ness, like other branches of business, has
changed very much in it's methods in the
last five years. 1t costs two or three
times as much to run q frst-class daily
paper now as it did five years ago. AS is
frequently stated, the penny paper can no
longer succeed except where it has au
unusually big circulation. 1t used to be
that most any town of $4,000 population
could support one cent paper; not so
now. Il takes city Of 100000 or more
to support it. There are only about or 6
penny papers 10 the United States that
