THE WORST OF HABITS.

How tho Passion for Liquor Grows from
Day to Day.
A veIy touching incident in relation
to this habit was lately publ shed in
the columns of a religious journal OF
New York City. A young man who was
addicted to the drink habit called on
physician to treat him for sore eyes.
After being examined he said: "Well,
doctor, can you cure me?" The doctor
replied: Eyes, but you must stop
drinking" ''Then," said the young
man, farewell, eyes, The habit must
have had terrible hold upon him.
Sight is one of The most valued of the
sense. We have known it to be put in
the balance with life itself, though life
was saved, while sight was lost. Life is
often lost when the question is between
it and drink; but it IS not often that an
immediate decision is made. The usual
way is, that habit becomes stronger and
the power of resistance weaker, so that
the vi tim goes on, until powerless, to
death.
If youth could be persuaded of this
that the will becomes less powerful as
the habit increases - there would be
more hope of rescuing them from inn
pending danger. But they think. when
danger is spoken of, they can stop any
time they choose, and they fully resolve
to do so before it is too late. But, alas!
who shall say when?-Rev. Henry F.
Thompson, in Christian at Work.

convicted of selling fresh beef, slaugh-

The State Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION.
fPittsboro Record.1

The State Convention of the Young
Mems Christian Association held at
Goldsboro, was the most largely at
tended and enthusiastic one ever held
by that body. The reports from the
different associations throughout the
State were of most encouraging
character and showed a substantial
growth. During the past year the
membership had increased about I 1000,
and fourteen new associations had
been formed. It was determined to
try to form at least one association in
every county of the State. At present
not one-half of the counties have one.
These associations are accomplishing
much good wherever organized, and
should be encouraged by all good cit
liens.
The next State convention will be
held at Durham, and the following Of
ficers were elected for the ensuing year:
President, Mr.. Jas. R. Young, of Hen

HOME EFFORT ENCOURAGED.

The Sanford Exbress ,one of the best
papers in the State says the boycotting
of jute cotton bagging By the cotton
planters is fresh in the minds of our
readers. That was fierce gorilla war
on powerful and deadly trust has
surrendered and bitten the dust. The
Farmers Alliance assisted by the mer-
chants and home manufacturers can
enforce the boycott on any other staple
article of goods that may be manufac-
tured by a substitute.
Maj. SCOTS proposition is very
, important one. He offers to be one
of a joint stock company to establish
a publishing house in the State where
the books for the schools can and will
be manufactured. In view of the fact
that Northern men are publishing one
sided histories of the Southern people
and sending them into our public
schools to teach the children that their
fathers were "Re5eis and Traitors"
no more patriotic proposition could be
made. The Southern people should
endeavor, as far as possible, to meet
their enemies at every point of injus-
tiCe in exchange of commodities and
SANDER of reputation and in our judg-
ment the most effective way has been
suggested above. Let us rather wear
the coarser fabrics of our own mills
and shops than pay tribute to the
Northern Caesars. Let us write and
teach our posterity the splendid story
of their valorous ancestors, rather than
it shall come to them perverted from
the hands of the Higginsons, McMas-
tiers, Barneses, Harpers and Appletons.
Our Northern friends have diligently
sought for the last quarter of century
to steal both our reputation and purse.
They have misrepresented every trans
action they have ever had with us and
their meannesS needs a heroic remedy.
The best thing to do is to cut their &C
quaintance as far as possible. If the
South raise up man to-day and snub
these Williams and rascals, they might
learn to appreciate the proper and just
value of exchange and the value Of a
good name Oxford Public Le4ger.
