THE OLD NORTH STATE.
RS. l.. Dixon in Statesyille Landmark

Carolina, Carolina. the land Of the free.>
What treasure of wealth and beauty in
thee!
From your surf-beaten beach to the noun
tains in blue,
No land has more grandeur and glory than
you.
The words OF your freedom are first that
were taught;
The Congress of States your language did
quote
Defiant to kings your flag you unfurled,
Your freedom of speech astounded the
world.
Within your grand limits are all products
of soil,
Enriching the stores of those who do toll !;
While your mines in their wealth the tale
is not told
But has paid her miner in Jumps OF fine
gold.
Your fruits and your flowers with Eden
compare;
Your fields are as fruitful as Canaan's land
Your people the freest from faction and
strife,
Your daughters. the purest to make good
wife.
Your churches and colleges here high do
rise,
With spires and towers that point to the
skies;
Asylums are built for deaf, dumb and
blind,
And those that have lost the helm of the
mind.
Your telegraph wires and lines of railway
In praise Of your progress have much for
to say;
Like lightning and thunder they 90 side by
side
And progress is taking an excursion ride.
Carol ma, Carolina, the land of the brave,
What tyrant dare come your land to en-
slave?
Old Tyron once tried her, but lost in the
game,
For Lincoln took from him that county
first name.
The Regulators and Phifer Hill boys
Did burn some gun powder that made
great noise;
Old TyrOn'S mean heart did sink In despair,
He knew the young lions would break his
Great Britain's CORVALLIS did once stop to
rest
But the hornets did sting him and he soon
quit the nest:
He was worn out at Guilford, gave up at
For Green and Dan Morgan did we'll crush
his crown.
Carolina, Carolina, the noblest Of States,
Your Vance and your Ransom are nOblest
of mates:
On the ship of their State with Fowle they
will stand,
TO moor her quite safe from the rock and
the sand.
With the sun shining brightly and happy
your crew,
And the dark, sullen clouds receding in
view,
The flag of your freedom more proudly can
wave,
Der the land of the free and the home of
the brave.
o, who would not love the land OF his
birth
The home of his childhood is the dearest
of earth:
The grave of his father and mother are
there
And everything else that can make earth
dear.

Lard.
[Durham GIobe.l

How many people know what kind
of lard is used in making their daily
bread? The idea that commercial
lard is made out of hog fat, as most
people suppose, is about as bad case OF
misplaced confidence as can be imag
ined. Some interesting facts in regard
to lard manufacture were obtained by
the examination of witnesses before a
congressional committee some time
ago. According to the testimony of a
witness who had worked in large es-
tablishment in Boston, two grades of
lard were made; one grade being
made of hog leaf fat, the other being
composed OF all the refuse of the
slaughter house. The proportion of
each kind to the other may be imag-
ined from the statement that i'll the es-
tablishment referred to, there was only
one leaf lard tank in total of twenty
eight The article made in the other
twenty-seven tanks is composed of hog
heads, feet, entrails, etc. The witness
testified that he had seen crippled hogs
and hogs suffocated in transportation
on the cars, killed and put into the
lard tanks. And the product made
from such materials is called pure lard.
The point in this article is not to
turn peoples stomachs against factory
made lard, but to call attention to the
sublime cheek of the makers thereof
who are seeking to have congress to
pass a law placing cotton seed lard
under the ban. In contest between
pure lard, so called, and cotton seed
lard, on their respective merits, the ad
vantage is all on the side of the latter.
1t is clean, wholesome and nutricious,
so pronounced by the highest medical
and chemical authorities while nobody
needs to be told that the pure lard OF
the refneries is not fit to be used as an
article of food. Moreover, the use of
animal fats for cooking purposes, is a
poor expedient which has been resorted
to because it has been impossible to
obtain vegetable oils in sufficient guam
titles. With the introduction of the
product of cotton seed, the necessity
for using hog fat has ceased. Ger
tainly while an article SO pure and
wholesome as cotton seed oil or lard
can be obtained, there is no sense in
using the vile compounds that the
manufacturers sell under the name of
pure lard.
If congress should see fit to require
manufacturers of cotton seed lard to SO
brand their wares as to indicate the
materials from which they are made,
there should be no objection to such a
law; but its provisions ought to be
made to apply to other kinds of lard,
so that purchasers may know whether
they are buying the ofscouring of the
slaughter houses or not. 1t would be
very unjust, however, to subject the
cotton seed product to an internal rev.
enue tax, while permitting the grease
made from hog heads and entrails to
60 untaxed and pose before the public
as the only genuine article.

Gaurd Your Actions.

The young man who is going to be
the successful business or professional
man of the future does not spend his
week day nights in "club-rooms, "
gambling and worse, nor is he bar
room lounger or a guzzler of beer.
There are scores of young fellows on
whom advice is wasted who think it a
smart and manly thing to SOW wild
oats, and who are hard at it, believing
that nobody knows how they spend
their evenings and expecting to take
a turn for the better. They are de-
ceived. Their present habits are known
to more than they imagine, and nine
out of ten of them go from bad to
worse, until, health ruined, they rush
into the ranks of the criminal or pau
per classes or fill untimely graves.
How many generous-hearted fellows
do you know who started out we'll, but
at forty are ruined and broken because
they are "good fellows" who have lots
of " fun with the boys9" Boys, re-
member that whatsoever ye sow, that
shall We also reap. Guard we'll your

What is Going On in the Old North

GENT and Wide-aWake News
papers.

The stock subscriptions IN the Bes-
semer Steel company at Greenboro
now aggregate 5000, 900. When
$4,000 is subscribed the books will
be closed.
Tobacco will be grown on quite a
large scale in Pitt county this year.
The tobacco country is rapidly ex-
tending eastward, SO also is the diver
sihcation OF crops.
Parties from Baltimore have pur-
chased land at Morehead City, and
will erect large buildings for the oyster
business. They will ship the oysters
to Baltimore to can them.
The AdOance says the farmers Of
Wilson county have never planted as
many different products as they have
done this year. Diversified crops will
be one of the most benehcent results
of the present hard times.
A stock company, with capital of
$40, 900, has been organized in Durham
to manufacture ice. 1t is expected
that the factory will be running by
the middle of June. The capacity is
to be ten tons a day. We learn this
from the Globe.
The spirit of enterprise seems to be
getting hold of everybody. The rice
mills which we thought sufficient for
manipulating all the rice in this section
will be enlarged. A contract to make
an addition of 6oxoo feet has been
given to Capt. ]. E. Lordly.-Wash-
ington Gazette.
The Aberdeen & West End Rail-
road has reached Candor, in Mont

and dwellings are going up by the
1ozen.-Sanford Express.

SAMUEL j. RANDALL.
A Brief Sketch of His Life.

Samuel Jackson Randall was born
at Philadelphia, October 10, 1898.
His father was well-known Demo
cratic lawyer and politician Of Phila-
delphia. Young Randall was educated
as merchant but soon developed an
aptitude and fondness for politics,
which has characterized his career.
Four times he was elected to the City
Council and once to the Senate OF
Pennsylvania. Then on December
3, 1863, at most vital time in this
nation, he took his seat in Congress,
and continued without intermission
that life which placed him among the
most distinguished and patriotic states
men of the United States.
For twenty-seven years he repre-
sented the only Democratic district of
Philadelphia. Democratic because
Samuel ]. Randall represented it. He
served on the Committees on Banking,
Rules and Election. Failing election
to the Speakership of the House of
Representatives in 1875, he became
chairman on the Committee on APP
preparations. Such credit did he OBJ
tain by his success on curtailing ex-
penditures by enforcing a system Of
proportional reduction in the appro-
priations, that on the death of Michael
c. Kerr, he was elected Speaker De-
cember 4, 1876, and served by re-
election in that capacity until March
sd, 1881.
For twenty-six years he was promi-
nent figure in the work of legislation,
and in all that time no question of his
absolute patriotism and integrity was
raised. When he entered the Thirty
eighth Congress in 1868, the Demo-
cras were ina hopeless minority. They
practically had no hand in legislation,
but Mr. Randall worked and watched
and hoped. With an eye single to the
public interests, he stood guard over
the Treasury, fought extravagant ap-
preparations, exposed the rascality of
the rings, and, after long campaign
against the Republican waste in ex-
penditure, he saw the party he loved
and served again placed in control of
the House Of Representatives.
For two terms he framed legislation
as Speaker, selecting men for positions
ofprominence on the committees whom
he knew would carry out the same
principles in appropriations which he
had pursued while leader on the
floor.
As parliamentarian of nerve and
vast resources he had no equal in Con-
gress. By his courage, endurance and
fertility of genius, he led the successful
flibuster against the infamous Force
bill ,and thus opened the way for thor
ough regeneration of the South.
The lobby hated him for his caution
and rectitude. Rascals had poor
show when he got on their track. 1t
is perfectly safe to say that no states
man now living saved the taxpayers
of the United States more cold cash
than Samuel ]. Randall, and yet, with
unlimited opportunities to enrich him.
self, Mr.. Randall died poor.

THEOLD NORTH STATE.
Says the La Grange Sbectak0y I.

Says the La Grange Spectator:
Genuine is the pride of every true
North Carolinian in the rapid progress
the Old North State is making all
along the line. Her multifarious manu-
featuring enterprises, her mining pros
poets, her rich deposits of gold and
other valuable minerals are attracting
the world. The recent great impetus
given to popular education argues we'll
for the inwardness of true patriotism
that actuates her sons and daughters
to consecrate their time, talent and
substance to sift the cloud of ignorance,
that has hung like pail over the heads
of the lower classes for ages.
Her high schools and colleges are
rapidly distending the second place to
any in the country.
Her press sounds the tocsin from
every hill top, and carries the Slogan
of battle to the front.
She is bristling with opportunities to
enrich the Golfers of the enterprising,
or lavish her cornucopias upon the sons
of toll
Guarded by mighty intelligence,
enriched by virtue, mellowed by hos
pitality, nerved to manly deeds by
example-who would not be North
Caruiinian?

Wilmington Messenger.j

Edward w. Gillian, native of Ok
ford, N. c., distinguished graduate
of the University of North Carolina,
receiving the highest honors in his
class, formerly an Episcopal minister
and now physician of Baltimore, is a
man of real talents and has discussed
in the North american Re0ieO GER
tain questions concerning the South.
Some years ago we discussed one of
the articles From circular received
we learn that John Murphy & Com
pany, book publishers in Baltimore,
will soon issue novel by DIR. Gillian,
entitled "A Tale of San Domingo"
1t is story of 1891, and is based upon
the negro uprising, which destroyed
the famous old French colony. 1t is
not a Catholic or religious. story, as
we understand. 1t discusses in one Of
the chapters the African question in a
conversation between a French Jacobln
and a San Domingo Planter. DR..
Gillian has learning and ability, but
how much of a novelist he is we can
not now say. The book will be issued
soon. Price 81.
