a large bottle, it helped her more, bought
another and grew better fast, continued

The special meeting of Concord Pres
bytery, to be held here next Monday
evening promises to be very interesting
one. The primary object is to take ac-
ton upon an application of Rev. }. T.
Marion, pastor of the Presbyterian
church of Morganton, for dissolution
of his present pastoral relation. This
application is an out-growth OF the re:
cent Fife meeting at Morganton, one of
tee results of which was a variance be-
tween Mr.. Marion and some of his peo-
pie. 1t is understood that some of the
members of his congregation will be at
the meeting of the Presbytery to resist
the dissolution of the relation between
him and the church.-Statesville Land

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 6.-The cotton
house of V. & A. Meyer suspended yes
terday with liabilities aggregating
81 5oo,OOO and assets $4,000. This is
the third largest cotton house in the

the decline in price of cotton each had a

Congressman Bayne's suggestion that the
appointment of lower grade postmasters be
regulated by civil service commission laws has
some good points. The almost invariable rule
il to give country Offices to men who have
stores, which are the gathering points for
large neighborhoods. The remote country
postmaster is sui generis. He is without peer.
III he be efficient or inefficient he is equally
superlative. In one instance, which has never
come to the notice of the department. man
was appointed postmaster for an Office in Ten
nessee, but having a saloon mile away, and
across the line in Kentucky, he transferred
the Office to his saloon. and thereafter one of
Tennessee's post offices was in Kentucky. which
was hardly less legal than geographical 1t
was political, however, and that was quite
enough. IL any class of office holders more
than another needs the educational influences
of the civil service laws it is these remote
country post offices, where not infrequently
the recipient of a letter or paper and the post
master hold a council of elaboration before
determining whether "Richard Roe" or John
Doe" is the address on the wrapper. If Mr..
Bayne can formulate his opinions into a bill
and materialize them into law which will
result in improving the country post offices he
will be doing work Of education and reform
which will entitle him to a brevet Postmaster

Tine women have sent petition to the Senate
asking that they be represented on the Board
of Managers of the Worlds Fair in 1892 A
woman had much TO do with the event which
the exposition is to celebrate. Queen Isabella
was instrumental in sending Columbus hlther
four hundred years ago. Possibly it was her
curiosity which prompted her to send a man
across an unknown sea to learn what lies be-
yond. but her motive is a minor matter. In
the pioneer period Of the country women
shared with man dangers and hardships, and
her sufferings were the greater in that her
weakness was the greater. She has taken with
him every step in the progress Of the civiliza-
ton Of the western continent. She is entitled
to share with him in the honor for what has
been accomplished. Whatever arrangement
may be considered wisest in the makeup of
the business management of the fair, woman's
industry, grace and tact will find full repre-
sentation in the exposition itself, and the part
which she plays and has played in the CONT
nent's progress ought to be suitably recognized.

Governor Campbell Of Ohio. who was inaug-
urated yesterday at Columbus signalized his
accession to the Office by open advocacy in his
message of ballot reform. The governor is
making an excellent start and if he is met by
his party in the same spirit, the reproach which
attaches to ''Ohio politics. may be removed
and that great state may come from under the
cloud which has for long time hung in its po-
htical sky. The shame of Ohio politics" is not
confined to either party. The contest has been
always more or less close in the state and the
means resorted to by each in the crcumven-
ton of the other have frequently been dis
graceful and at times criminal. II Governor
Campbell can purify politics in his state it will
be greater credit to him than to be President.
