wv. w. Kitchin in Roxboro Cou1ier.)
The war of 1861 conquered our
South. Our manhood Welded to in
vinCihlc circumstances and now the
effects of that war are still sapping
the life blood from Southern indus
try. When the veterans returned
from Appomattox, they became recon
CiIc3 TO the fact Of surrender. While
they knew the broken bones Of kin
dred and comrades, whose spirits
were at peace IN a world not filled
with tears and taXes, were whitening
the battlefelds, and while they knew
that their record was glorious, they
also knew that their homes were
homes of poverty, and while they
were told of peace, they hoped that
the Wat was truly over. Then they
came through the days Of reconstruc-
ton pure ana spotless, showing to the
world that mankind was still made Of
men. and then in that mighty strug-
gle of 1876, when the white men Of
the South again took control Of our
State governments, our Older men
gave n sigh Of relief am thought
that at last the hurtful effects of the
war were over. But not so. Waving

laws resulting from the war. Let US
for the moment forget others and

Of every man who sYmpathiZes with
our land, or whose veins hold South
crn blood. Do not say that talk is
rccklcssncss and indesCrctiOn. We
talk of peace. bat any man who
reads the newspapers Of the republi-

there is more poetry than truth in

While at the post office or Mon
day afternoon a citizen of this place
showed us a letter containing o
check for $25.00 that he had just
received from a young man in an ad
joining county. The letter read sub
stantially as this: Some years ago
while You were merchandising in my
town, I was accustomed to go into
YOUR store and steal candy and other
coufeCtioneries. Then | was a boy
but now l am a man and my con~
science lashes ne for that candy
stealing. / send you this check 70
ease my conscience. Use 1t and say
nothing about the incident to any
one. The receiver of this check
turned it over to the treasury of the
Methodist church and the whole af
fair reads like fairy Sunday School
story. 1t is believed that when men
die they are called upon to hand in
their checks for the evil deeds done
in the body. If every man would
promptly hand MP tis check while
mere on earth more enterprises could
he started and men would live more
in the sweat of their faces.

Americans are the speechm4kers
Of the world, pur eDceU ence. We
have q good deal to talk about-0ur
institutions, the manufacturing East,
the agricultural and mining West,

is such a close relation between our
brains and our mouths that we get q
mighty deal Of comfort out Of talk.
But the most notable utterance Of
the last thirty days is the discourse
which Mr., Henry Watterson delivers
cd to the people Of Boston on the
duties Of the North and South to

WORD MAKING.
Something For Our Literary
Readers.
lGoldsboro ArguS.)
TINE For REFORM.

lGoldsb0ro ATgu9.)
There was time, a few genera
lions ago, when both the formative
and the conservative influence Of the
English tongue were exerted almost
exclusively by the few literary leads
ers of the time, If Addison admitted
to his exquisite manuscript any
word. that word was at once emo
bIcd: and 80 in the coffee houses Of
old London, the process Of language
making went on both through the
medium of conversation and that OF
formal literary work. The reading
class was at that time a limited one.
T. was so rare as to be almost senea-
tional TO find a humcly worker in his
shop following the thoughts and
expressions of the intellectual leaders
Of the day; and the little guild Of
literary workers who were 50 sadly
patrOnzed by the rich and noble,
really determined tIe English which
their patrons spoke. 1t was possible
for Pope to legitimatize q bastard
word or for Johnson to render current
al oatrc expression: but it was
scarcely possible for the slang Of The
many to percolate through the social
strata far enough to corrupt the
language % the few.
Nowadays, tins is all changed.
rhe function once held By these
great literary leaders has passed to
the newspaper. 1t has the greatest
power for evil and the greatest power
for good in this as il other respects.
Let some man use striking word OF
his own coinage, it needs only the
IN fucnce of the press TO add that
word to the popular currency Of the
tongue, and ten years hence we shall
find 1t in the dictionaries. Of course,
a language must be enriched or it
will die, and, Of course, new cOndl-
lions demand new words, but it is
nose the less true that this process
Of accrction goes on too fast, and
that there is too little regard for the
traditions and the dignity of the
grand old tongue which we I'll speak
and which is now becoming domi
nant.
Is it not time that the press Of the
United States set its face in favor OF
the reform of newspaper Englishi
This should not be done with any
pedantry or with any assumption o.
infallbility, but rather with a desire
to weed out the fimsy pretensions Of
fimsy writer's, who are themselv
inspired by the argot of the lower
popuIace. Why, for example, may
we not call barber 4 barber rather

permitted to every mountebank who

What to teach the Farm Boy.

Teach the boy to do his farm work
so that 1t will be admired, and you
give him something to think about
that adds rest to his work. Teach
him to be as neat and tasteful in his
work as in dress, and you develop
valuable qualities, such as may hold
him to the farm.

They know how TO cure rheumatism in
Pennsylvania! MIR. J.. F. Meignan. a
Pittsburgh cigar dealer, awoke one morn
ing with an attack of rheumatism in his
right arm. Working around the store
during the forenoon made it worse. By
noon the pain was SO severe that be could
not raise his hand TO bis head and had to
carry his arm in a sling. One of his Gus
toners, on learning the facts, went across
the street to E. E, Hook's drug store, and
at his own expense procured a bottle OF
Chamberlain Pain Balm and persuaded
the cigar dealer to try it. II eased the
pain and by the next morning he could
use his arm, and by the second morning
was entirely well. This is only one of the
any severe cases Of rheumatism that have
been cured by this valuable remedy. SO
