A philosopher declares that the
reason why newspaper men have such
clear and sensible ideas on all sub
iects is because they are never wear
led or broken down by cares of
wealth.
The Editor of the FISHERMAN AND
FARMER has received Of late many kind
and encouraging letters from all parts,
and it is with pleasure we take this
opportunity of thanking our many
friends for their hearty support and
words Of encouragement; assuring them
of our appreciation of their kindly com
munications. We would like to answer
each of you by personal letter, but to
do so would entail an enormo as amount
of work that would be of profit to
neither you or ourselves, and we
trust that those of you who have not
heard from us, will accept this as a
kindly acknowledgement of your
letter.
No newspaper can be published
without healthy HOME PATRONAGE
and every man should be interested in
keeping upa home paper. If a railroad
or factory is wanted the newspapers
are expected to work for it. If a pub
lie meeting for any purpose is wanted
the town paper is called upon for free
notice. If any of the societies have
supper or a reception of any kind, the
newspaper is expected to give the nee
essary notice. If Miss SO And So
comes to town the newspaper is expect
ed TO note not only her arrival but
whose guest she is. The newspaper
must puff the schools and everything
else to advance the interests of the bus
mess men of the place, and then give
them handsome notice when they pass
away. And yet some of them dc moth
ing to keep up home paper. In Ed
enton there are men who not only do
not advertise in the FISHERMAN AND
FARMER, but are not even subscribers
to it, And the editor has had some of
these kind of enterprising CD citizens
to give him advice as to how he ought
to puff and blow the town, the people,
etc etc.
Do not be afraid of little fun at
home. Do not shut your house lest
the sun should fade your carpets; and
YOUR hearts lest laugh should shake
down few of the musty old cobwebs
that are hanging there. If you want
to ruin your sons, let them think that
all mirth and social enjoyment must
he left at the threshold without when
they come home at night. When once
a home is regarded as only place to
ca drink, and sleep in, the work is
begun that ends in gambling houses
and reckless degradation. Young
people must have fun and relaxation;
if they do not find it at their own
bearthstones they Will seek it at less
profitable places. Therefore let the
doors and windows be cheerfujIy
thrown open in Summer, and make
the home delightful with All those lit
tie arts parents so we'll understand. Do
not repress the buoyant spirits of your
hijdren Half an hour Of merriment
within doors, and merriment of home
blots cut the remembrance of many :.
care and annoyance during the day;
ana the best safeguard they can take
with them into the world is the infu-
euce Of bright home.-Ex.

ProN. Sharing by . oe.l Company.


Thres yssrs ago tAs Canpbsll's
Creek Coal Company. i. the Kasawha
VALLEY, commenced Me sharing of
profits with rs men, and on the first
oesasion divided something over
$4,000. Last year the amount was
mnsh less, because the profits were
smaller. The result this year is
shown In the announcement that on
September 90 the company will divide
1900 among the men. The money
Is given out in proportion to the
amount OF wages the men earn, and
Ihe next distribution will give each
nan an average of about 500. Besides
iharing the profits. the company does
sort Of insurance business among
he miners in a novel and commend
able manner. In that district the
miner is "docked," or forfeits a GER
'ain amount OF his wages when the
,oal he turns out has over a fixed per-
,entage Of slate. The company men
Toned takes the dockage according to
the general custom, but that amount,
instead of going to the company, is
put into fund for the benefit of the
men. From this fund the men are
entitled to draw - per week when
sick. On several occasions, W hen
through numerous demands this fund
has become exhausted, the firm re-
plenished it temporarily. In another
way this company and its employees
have moved together for the common
good. In that locality the public
schools are open only about four
months in the year. To continue the
schools for nine months each year, the
miners pay each twenty cents per
month into a private school fund.
The effect OF this plan of sharing
profits, and the mutual good feeling
between the men and their employers,
is plainly apparent. The men are
contented and steady; they have
improved morally and physically

Electric Railways.

Professor Elihu Thompson. in speak
ing on THE Problems of the Future
saws: In the near future railways
will be run by electricity; not tie
small roads, l mean, but really the
large ones connecting cities, and there
is no reason why we should not expect
higher speed than we can attain a.
at present with our steam locomotives.
There we have reciprocating parts that
must be put in motion, stopped and
reversed continually. while in the
electric locomotive we have the simple
rotary motion. which makes it possible
accordingly to run at much higher
rate of speed. Although the steam
locomotive has been very much i'm
proved. vet it can hardly compare with
the economy of stationary engines.
placed where they can have an abund
ant water supply for condensing pur-
poses. We can therefore, by employ
ing stationary engines and electric
roads, do away with great deal of un-
necessary weight and the moving
parts being symmetrical, we can attain
a much higher speed, say hundred
miles an hour. This would he gran"
step forward. which would save us
great deal of time. 1t might even be
possible to reach speed of $50 miles
an hour; it simply depends upon find.
ing the method of applying sufficient
power. and building the locomotives to
suit, arrangements being adopted ts

LiNcoLN's MELANCHOLY.
His Sympathetic Nature and Hi. Earlv

Those who saw much Of Abraham

expression of profound melancholy

sympathetic and kindly nature. These
strong characteristics influenced. very
happily. as 1t proved. his entire polit.

emergency which Lincoln. in the
providence of God. was called to meet
