Is II Wise. Is II Just? Call u Halt.


Mr.. Editor: I am a Democrat
and from early manhood been
iudoctrinated in its faith. For
years, I have advocated its
doctrines and Oh all occasions
adhered to the principles en-
unciated in its various plat
forms Retrenchment, reform
and economy has been the
watch words. They have been
the tocsin of war and promineh-
tly held up to tie public gaze
by pen and tongue and the
toiling masses of our people
led to believe that the burden
Of taxation would be lightensd.
With this assurance of relief,
they have bravely and steady
upheld its banner and marched
on to repeated victory.
With a devotion, almost dn-
exampled, to the tenets of this
grand old party, they have
tacitly bowed tu her every
behest and unmurnuringly sub
mitted to every species of taxa
tiOn.
Now, i'll the face of all this,
in the midst of their misfortune
and poverty casiOned by the
failure of crops for the last
five years, We find thi, same
old party assembled in Raleigh
a few days ago in the capacity
of a State Convention embody-
ing among other things in its
platform demand for increas-
ed taxation for public schools.
This is the cause Of our COM
plant and with respectful diff
ference to the sagacity and
wisdom of those who saw pro-
per to make this demand, l as
an humble citizen and voter
raise my voice in protestation
Of the increase of this already
onerons taxation. The necks
Of our people are already CALLED
hv thA ---oif-ht of tayatio-., IN 4
it is q matter Of no wonder.
That not infrequently is heard
the cry of distress and discord
i'll our party tanks.
| | do not wish to be under
stood as opposing education,
for | am not, I believe it essen
tial in promoting goodness and
greatness and STEPPING stone to
individual as we'll as national
prosperity, but are we prepared
at this particular time of our
financial distress to submit to
increased taxation. | think not.
Surely our public schools are
doing we'll enough and taxation
is high enough. Then why
continue to add insult to injury
by increased taxation. When
it is we'll known in every sec
tion of North Carolina, that
our people have been taxed, yes
taxed until the "brOW of labor
sweats in vain"
| I hope therefore in our coun-
ty convention which meets in
Clinton, 10TH of September mex,
that our delegates will not give
endorsement to such sentiments
in the preparation Of their plat
form or in the selection Of theil
candidates. TAXPAYER.

AMBITIOUS YOUNG MEN.

Don't be afraid the ambitious
young man will climb too fast.
There are plenty of envious and
mediocre fellows who will
gladly take hold of his coat-tail
and pull him down to the earth
before he has had an opportuni-
ty to show how well he could
fly. Envy and jealousy have a
strong hold dpon small minds,
and they are sufficiently numer
Gus to make the ascent to the
heights difficult and dangerous.

The transition from long, lingering
aud painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the lite of the individ-
ual. Such remarkable event is treas
ured in the memory and the agency
whereby TIM good healsh has been at

is that so much is heard in praise of Elec-

WORSE THAN A LOTTERY.

The Louisiana Lottery is a
swindle beyond question; but
the villainy of it is not to be
compared with that of the pro-
tective tariff swindle. In the
one case the swindle is volun-
tarily with the person swindled,
and, therefore, limited in its
scope, in the other the swindle
is perpetrated by force of law,
and therefore unconditional and
universal. According to the
eternal fitness Of things" the
tariff should be called upon to
perish fiIst.-Argus.

1t is not easy for a modern Protest
ant, still less for any one who has the
least tincture of scientific culture,
whether physical or historical, to pic
lure to himself the state of mind of a
man of the Ninth century, however
cultivated, enlightened and sincere he
may have been. His deepest convic-
tons, his most cherished hopes, were
bound up in the belief of the miracu
lous. Life was a constant battle be-
tween saints and demons for the pos
session of the souls of men. The most
superstitious among our modern coun-
trymen turn to supernatural agencies
only when natural causes seem in
sufficient; to Eginhard and his friends
the supernatural was the rule, and the
sufficiency of natural causes was al
lowed only when there was nothing
to suggest others
Moreover, it must be recollected
that the possession of miracle work
ing relics was greatly coveted, not
only on high but on very low grounds.
To man like Eginhard, the mere
satisfaction of religious sentiment
was obviously a powerful attraction.
But, more than this, the possession of
such a treasure was an immense prac
teal advantage. If the saints were
duly hattered and worshiped, there
was no telling what benefits might re-
suit from their interposition in your
behalf. For physical evils, access to
the shrine was like the grant of the
use of a universal pill and ointment
mandatory; and pilgrimages there
to might suffice to cleanse the per
formers from any amount of sin

There is a widely spread belief
among schoolboys in many parts of
the country that it is unlucky to kill
a robin, and it is generally supposed
that broken limb would be the prob
able punishment for so doing. Even
the nest of this bird is comparatively
safe, though why it should be thus ia
vored is not quite clear, unless, as has
been suggested by some writer's, it
owes its popularity to the story of the
Babes in the Wood" which ballad
perhaps may also have given rise to
the popular notion that the robin will
cover with leaves or moss any dead
person whom it may chance to find.
There certainly, however, seems to be
no substantial reason why he should
be more favored than the other mem
bers of the feathered tribe, for, after
all, he is very pugnacious and i'm
pudent little fellow; but perhaps these
are the qualities which have brought
him into notice and made him popu-
lar. Chambers Journal.

Miss Havergal has said: Every

how all the rest and gladness and

one thing, and that is taking God at
His word, believing that He really
means exactly what he says, and ac-
cepting the very words in which He
reveals His goodness and grace, with
out substituting others or altering the
precise moods and lenses which He
has seen fit to use"

Several gentlemen who have visited
New York told us some time ago that
in polite society in that city there OBJ
tains a pretty fashion of serving coffee
in miniature cups-after-dinner coffee
it is called. 1t is deemed vulgar to
serve coffee in large cups because when
a gentleman feeds he should prefer to
feed delicately, and not out Of a trough
We once asked Prof Fishbladder why
it was that small colees hadn't been
introduced into Chicago society, and he
said it was because they were regarded
as dangerous. 1t seems that one Of the
Clubs years ago did import lot of
these miniature cups, with view to
utilizing them for after-dinner cofiees.
But at the very start an accident hap
pened which drove the innovation out
of favor. One Of the wealthiest and
most influential members Of the club,
while endeavoring to make away with
his usual after-dinner coffee, swallowed
the cup, and for weeks his life was des-
paired Of Ever since then in the best
Chicago society, the regulation coffee
cup has been the size of sitz-bath

Ancient Brick Making.

The great perfection to which the
ancients carried the art of brick max
ing is probably due to the abundance
of labor, plenty of time to devote to
each stage of the work, their great pa
tience and painstaking and thenatural
drying and preserving climate of the
east. The dry, warm atmosphere OF
Egypt, Assyria and Babylon, which
countries were the nurseries of the
ceramic arts, have kept in a good state
of preservation for more than 5000
years the sun dried bricks so common
in those countries. Many well pre-
served adobes are also found in towns
and walls of ancient India. New

Too Much Time.

1t is well understood among those
who are familiar with The word that if
one wishes a piece of work done, it is
safest to go to some man who seems
already 10 have his hands fall The
person who has nothing to do is The
last person in The world TO do anything.
A surgeon in Che United States
Navy declares that it is hard for men
Of nervous temperament to learn to be
idle, but that when the habit Of indol-
ence is once acquired, it is almost i'm
possible to shake it off
The men on board the ship witch
him, he says, all became past masters
in the art of doing nothing Hours,
days, weeks went by without a ripple
wasted time" He never knew any
one to pursue any steady occupation
for a week. Men would bring out their
books and map out line Of study, but
all TO no purpose. A deadly lazi-
ness paralyzed all their good inten-
tions.
One of the officers had brought with
him an elaborate set OF books, plates
and instruments for studying the fish
of the Gulf of Mexico, which had
never been thoroughly described. He
began operations in earnest, making,
and earning the obligations Of his
messmates." But at the the end of a
fortnight he put his books and instru-
ments away, and 50 ended, says the
surgeon, "the only organized attempt
at study | ever saw at sea.
There is no little encouragement in
this anecdote for those who hunger for
knowledge, but seem to have no leisure
in which to acquire it. The hard
working man can always do a little
more, while the idler, on the other
hand, is always managing to do a little
less.
Let no one be discouraged because
his time is fully occupied. An indus
trious mans odd minutes are worth
more than a lazy mans all day.
