- Ithas been estimated recently by
shoe man that the people of the United
States spend $3.50, 100000 annually for
shoes.
- Senator Maxey, of Texas, is an
earnest advocate of the nomination of
Mr.. Cleveland for the Presidency. He
SAYS the tariff is infinitely the most i'm
portant question before the American
people, and that the fight in 1892 should
be made on that issue.
= In the matter of mere distance GOV.
cred the records of the worlds famous
travellers do not make much of show
beside those of some railroad men. An old
railroad man named Layton, now sleep.
ing car superintendent at Indianapolis,
has kept record of his journeyings since
1868, aud the total is 2,93S,24 miles.
Conductor S. Ct. Boone, ,'lste of the Read.
ing, has covered 2,S47 900 miles, and
another Reading conductor has ridden
something over 1,597,700 miles. Even
these figures would probably be far sur.

captains ofthe ocean steamships.
The men who are in Office are not
saying much these days. 1t is the ''outs"
who hope to become ''ins" who are max.
ing all the noise. Rotation is the order
of the day and there Is likely to be some
lively scramblipg for Office next year.
There is no waiting now for Office to seek
the men. There are thousands of men
wanting Office, and wanting it bad, and
they believe the people owe it to them
for distinguished service in their cause.
The amount Of distinguished service"
rendered the State and county in the
last two years is one of the marvels Of
the age.-Pce Dee Index.
- at the recent meeting of the Geor-
gia Farmers Alliance a resolution was
adopted that all persons who are in sym.

yers, preachers, merchants, doctors,
bankers, railroaders, newspaper men,
mechanics or any other sort of citizen
be given the privilege of forming "citi.
zens' alliances" The resolution did not
specify the manner in which these citi-
zens' alliances shall be organized, but
leaves large scope to the organizers. The
fundamental requirement will be an in
dorsement of the Ocala platform and an
adherence to the basic principles Of the
Alliance.
= Considerable excitement and dis
satisfaction is reported as existing in
Harnett and johnson counties, North
Carolina, because Judge Whitaker or
dered the sheriff not to allow
any one to enter the court without a coat
on. The Smith6eld Herald thinks that
the Judge was transcending his power,
and says that this rule works hardship.
One man who had q case in court left
home without coat and his lawyer had
to lend him one before he could have
his case heard. The Herald declares
that if Judge Whitaker has the power
to compel man to wear coat in the
court room, then he "also has the power
to compel man to wear hig coat button-
ed. and he must have three buttons on it
and they of different colors, and that the
coat must be of certain kind and made
in q certain pattern, and when he enters
the court room he must bow on his knees
to the court" Whether the Judge has
the power to order the wearing of coats
in his presence OF not, the appearance of
man in court without such 8 garment
is certainly not the thing. As clothing
is cheap, it is hardly possible that North
Carolinians having business in court can
sci up the claim of not owning q coat.
