We fully agree with the Waterloo
Ohsexz,<x when il saws.

We fully agree with the Waterloo
Observer when it says:
The offering of rewards for the ap-
prehension of murderers when the
guilty party is not known is one of the
great evils of the times, and one
susceptible of in1icting grevious wrong.
Detectives do not care so much that
the law should be indicated or that
justice should reach its object as they
do for securing the reward. 1t is easy
enough to find a suspicious character
near the scene of any murder, and the
detective without the ingenuity to
forge chain of circumstancial evidence
around his chosen victim isn't fit for
the business. Courts and law officers
are maintained at public expense to
ferret out the perpetrators of crime.
That is their especial purpose and
duty. But of late years it has been
found necessary to offer large rewards
for the detection of criminals which
may or may not apprehend the guilty
persons.

As an exchange says: Congress
may meet in extra session and can
perhaps pass some law that will have
the effect of restoring confidence to
the extent that commerce and trade
may move along and money circulate
more freely, but Congress cannot
satisfy all our wants or correct all the
evils of which we complain. 1t is not
its province to do 80, nor is it within
its power. But it can do one thing
that will be beneficial to the country.
1t can cut down some of the extrava-
gance that has grown up in the man
agement of the governmental affairs
and set a good example; but until we
learn to watch with more care our
own affairs and look more judiciously
after our own business we will find
evils to contend with-evils over which
the government has no power or right
of control.

AN INTERESTING PROBLEM.
Do We Eat to Live, or Do We
Live to Eat2


That is a question often discussed.
Well, one may take either horn of the
dilemma, the stern fact stares us in the
face-we must eat.
Now comes up the great and impor-
tant problem. 1t is this: Where to
20 and where to buy? First-Where
to 90, is to a house that keeps a general
assortment of all goods that are needed
in ones family, and at the same time,
fresh, clean and nice, and OF the best
and most select brands, and such a
house must have a trade that will en-
able it to buy largely and receive goods
daily, consequently fresh.
Where to buy-Is from house that
keeps full stocks and will, in all and
every way, treat and deal with you
fairly and honestly and where you can
buy as well, if not better, by an order
than in person. We claim that you
will find just such facilities in Hen
derson, afforded by the well known
and largely patronized store of IL.
Thomson. He buys in carload lots
and for cash, and he can sell at regular
wholesale prices and also give pur-
chasers the very great advantage OF
buying at case prices, as he will break
and sell any amount at package prices.
Mr.. Thomson has an immense trade
on his famous and popular brands of
flour, coffee and tea. He has taken
years in selecting and perfecting these
brands and he will stand firmly by
them as the bes: that money, time
and experience can produce. He also
takes much pride and care in his assert
ment of staple and fancy groceries,
and general merchandise of all kinds,
which he sells at lowest possible prices
wholesale or retail.

4 BENEFIT TO THE SOUTH.

In a recent dispatch from Raleigh
we noticed very suggestive item. 1t
was to the effect that Mr.. C. E. John
son, president OF the Chamber OF
Commerce OF that place, who has for
several years handled large part OF
the cotton crop marketed there, had
gone to England for the purpose of
arranging with firm which he rep
resents for a supply of money to han
die the crop. This fact has strong
bearing upon the present financial
situation and the future of the South.
We are obliged to sell our staples in a
foreign market, where the single gold
standard of money prevails. The
cotton crop sells for gold at gold
prices and if we could get the gold
directly into the South, or, in other
words, if we could establish direct
trade with England and get gold in
stead of making New York our broker
and letting New York get all the gold,
then cotton would, as Of old, be King
again, and the South would be the
arbiter of business and political affairs
instead of New York. We believe
that such would be the case if we could
get gold standard, and it is crafty
ing to see that practical men are
taking steps to establish sort of gold
ADDICTION league by bringing the
buyer and seller together upon gold
basis. If this financial crisis should
result in the establishment of direct
trade between England and the port.
of the cotton States it will be worth
more than it can possibly cost, and
will prove permanent blessing in a
temporary disguise. 1t is upon thi.
line that We hope to see the silver
question settled once for alls The
cotton crop of the South sells every
year for more gold than all the mine:
in the whole world produce. Let the
South stand for a single gold standard
of money and the consequent supre'
macy of the cotton States in the
Union.-Winston Sentinel.

Purely vegetable-Hood's Pills-25c.

THIS is certainly the farmers inning.
He has more bread and meat than he
has had in years he is more nearly
out of debt, perhaps, than ever hereto
fore; and having the most of the
necessaries of life at home and some
thing to sell with which to buy the
things he can't produce, he is in con-
dition to sit back and laugh while his
town friends sweat out their vitality
and rack their nerves in the wild
struggle to get their hands on cash
enough to keep their businesses going
and to keep the pot a-boiling. Yes,
the farmer is the fortunate man now.

From all parts OF the State comes
the report that the farmers are raising
plenty of hog and hominy. This
means that good times are coming.
Now if cotton, tobacco and peanuts
will only bring anything like a fair
price this fall, North Carolina will be
one of the most prosperous States in
the South. The people have learned
from past experience that it will not
do to depend elsewhere than at home
for the principal family supplies, all
of which is very gratifying, for it
means many dollars saved at home,
which under different circumstances,
would be sent away and practically
lost to us. GA dollar saved is dollar
made" is an old but true axiom

SOLITUDE.
BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone,
For the sad old earth must borrow It's mlrtn,
But has trouble enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the air;
The echoes bound to joyful sound
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and 60,
They want full measure OF all your pleas
ure,
But they do not need your woe.
BE glad. and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all
There are none to decline your nectared
wine
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by,
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a large and lordly train.
But one by one must all file on
Through the narrow aisleS OF pain.

Cure for Hog Cholera.

Life is very hard for some people;
and some make it great deal harder
than it ought to be by discouraging
others. Let US all help one another
and hold each ether up. Money is
not the only consideration in this life.
Kindness, charity and iberality make
up a good portion of happiness in this
world. If we all look at money, for
money, and nothing else will do but
money, we become selfish and sordid.

No man has ever held for a longer
time the confidence of the people of
this State than Senator Z. B. Vance,
but his recent letters on finances have
created feeling of awe and provoked
Criticisms that must be very grating to
the nerves OF our gifted son. Without
casting any reflection on the Senator
we really think his letter has done
harm to the Democratic party, and to
the cause of sound currency. The
letters of reply to the Senator's letters
are full OF meat and sober, thinking
man will readily see the breach this
much-loved son of North Carolina has
made.-Burlngton Neus.

USES OF THE GooBER.

The Annual Crop Worth Millions
of Dollars and the Demand in
creasing.
Baltimore American.
The ''goober'' industry of Norfolk is
unique. Here little city i'll Virginia
has become the greatest distributing
center of peanuts in the world. A
peanut is pretty small item, but an
annual crop of something like 5,000,-
900 bushels, worth millions of dollars.
makes pretty big item. The demand
for COOLERS has doubled within the last
five years, and the supply does not yet
fill the growing demand.
Few people know the curious uses to
which the goober has been put in trade
of late years. No other single plant
raised in this country is used in so
say that the cOcoanut palm has as many
useful properties as there are days in
the year. Tue goober is not so
universal as that, but it has as many
valuable qualities as there are days in
the week, says the New York Inde-
pendent. The solid part Of the nut is
peculiarly nutritive, and supplies fruit
and food for many family. The vines
make fine fodder, some say as good as
clover hay, while hogs fatten on what
is left in the field after the crop has
been gathered.
If GU grind the nut you get sweet
quality of -four, with which the house
wife makes delicious biscuit. If you
squeeze it you will obtain a valuable
oil, resembling olive oil, aud used for
similar purposes. This oil also enters
largely into the manufacture of the
better grades of soap. The kernels are
roasted for coffee. The roasted kernels
are also used in the manufacture of
some kinds of chocolate. The confec-
toner helps to ruin our digestion in
boyhood days with peanut candy. The
Georgia cook alone knows how to make
rich pastry of pounded peanuts. The
artist, with paint brush, silks and
satins, creates novel and beautiful pea
nut ornaments, so that peanut dolls and
other curios may be seen in the shop
windows of New York, especially
around holidays. These are some of
the ways in which the leguminous nut
is useful to US.

A WASHINGTON BELLE.
Matrimonial Rumors Concerning
Miss Mary Letter, Heiress.


Miss Mary Letter, Heiress.
Although Miss Mary Letter is said to
be favorite in Washington society, the
gossips seem very anxious to marry her
off. Her name has been at various times
mentioned in matrimonial way in con-
nection with Lispenard Stewart, the mil
lionaire eX-state senator of New York.
and George Barclay, an attache of the
British legation at Washington, and the
latest rumor credits William G. Whit
ney, secretary of the navy in President
Cleveland's former cabinet, with win
ming her heart and hand. 1t is in vain
that the members of Miss Letters fam
lily deny the report. The gossips will
talk. and the bellies and matrons of
Washington apparently experience
great delight in speculating on the bril-
liant social possibilities of union be-
tween two such wealthy and accom-
plished individuals as Miss Letter and
Mr.. Whitney.
Miss Letter Is the daughter of a we'll
known Chicago millionaire. The fam
lily has resided in Washington for the
last ten years or so, and Miss Letters
beauty and accomplishment have made
her exceptionally popular in society
there. New York society also knows
her well, and she took the most eX-
elusive circles in England by storm,
winning recognition where the ordinary
American tuft-hunter is completely ig-
uored. Her beauty and graci0usness,
