SENATOR coLQUITT's CONDITION.
Henry Jones, Senator Colquitt's pri-
vate {, ERIK, says the Senator willlbe here
in a few days to resume his duties. His
health is quite good, and, barring his III
ability to walk, he is in fine shape. 1t
NAV be that he will have to adopt roll
Ter chair as Alexander Stephens did
many We rs before his death.
GEORGIA SENATORS DON'T AGREE.
II is believed that there will be quite a
difference between our two Seniors when
the Georgia offices come to be filled.
General Gordon and Colquitt have always
been personal and political friends, but
it is said that they do not agree at all on
a slate for Federal places within the
State. 1t is possible that this difference
may be healed by a compromise, and
vet it may not be. One way to settle it
would be for the two Senators to ask the
members Of the house to unite with them
and BALLOT for results, or they might
adopt a plan of drawing beans from a
hat, as the Georgia House delegation
does when there is a doorkeepers place
or clerkship to be given out. Another
way would he for the dignified Senators
to draw straws to determine who shall
have grst choice. By this process each
might get some Of the fat, the lucky Sen
ator, OF course having the cream of the
pot This 10. terry system is practiceG by
10 other delegation in Congress but
Georgiaas, and [ have heard it said that
they were forced to come 10 it through
thepolitictl greed zof one member who
always wanted the whole jackpot for his
district every time a division of patronage
was made. | shall not mention this gen
tleman's name, but you probably won't

WHAT DID 1T ?

This country is now recovering
from a severe financial strain-in
other words, a panic. What caused
it? There have been all sorts of
theories, and many of these were
founded, we regret to say, on politi-
cal prejudice. There were those who
declared that 1.-The fear of tariff legis
Iation' caused it. Well, if it did,
why didn't the panic come just after
the Democratic victory? Why
wasn't in the full blast of its wreck
age when Grover Cleveland was in
augurated President last March?
Why is the country recovering just
when Democratic promises regarding
the Sherman law and the tariff are
about ready of fulfilment? Truly,
those Republicans who lack patriot
ism hut have a plenitude of partisan
blindness will have to look for other
reasons? They have pointed out to
the people that hard times are the
result of Democratic triumph. Will
they have the honesty and the COL
sistency to say when the prosperous
season comes, that it is this same
Democratic triumph that caused the
contentment which we shall all then
enjoy?

determine 1t is. however, plain as
a plkestaff, that the intelligent we'll
educated girl is not only increasing
in numbers, but is steadily appreci-
ating in value. And the very quail
ties which it was once predicted
would unfit her for matrimony have
eventually proved to be her greatest
charms in masculine eyes.
1t,has been said that the chief end
of woman is to marry, and to this
end vast amount of deception is
practised. But the skin-deep char
acter of virtues and accomplish
ments assumed for the purpose of
trapping a husband, becomes ap-
p rent when confronted by the
genuine article-the product of our
higher education-andi is no longer
misleading.
A society woman in a recent num-
Der of the Pail Mall Magazine says ::
Things haye changed for the better
during my lifetime. Our girls are
healthier, more natural, less helpless,
! and venture to think for themselves. -
And it is precisely this naturalness,
this healthy sparkling independence
OF thought which is rendering them
so irresistibly attractive.
| Thus it is that the schemers are
recruiting the ranks of the old maids.
while the girls who are selfreliant,
and who are not anglers for hyme-
neal honors are carrying off the
prizes.
The inference is Obvious. The
brainy girl is success. Sweet SIM
plicity must take back seat.
In the matrimonial market the
| effect of advanced standards among
women has been to place a premium
on feminine intelligence.

THE MATRIMONIAL MARKET

There are fucta tions in the matri-
monial market as certainly as there
are in Wall street. The law of sup
ply and demand, the rise and decline
of values, premium, discount, all
obtain here.
This has a business-like sound, you
will say, altogether foreign to the
sentiment of love-making. True,
but that is just the point. The eligi-
BILE young man of the day means
business, and the maiden par excell-
ence of his choicei is the young woman
of tact and brain who can enter into
his pursuits, share his interests, and
aid him by her sympathy and en-
enlargement in his work, whatever
that work may be.
A promising young lawyer said to
us the other day: 81 shall never
marry until l find a young woman
who can help me in my profession"
A straw shows which way the wind
blows, and this remark sers es to
illustrate the attitude of our best
young men on the subject of choos-
ing wife.
The true marriage relation is that
of companionship. Where there is
division of interests there can never
be complete congeniality, nor COM
plete union. Two hearts that beat
as one must be supplemented by two
heads that believe as one on all
essential questions.
Whether this demand for the per-
feet helpmeet has created the supply,
or vice versa, it would be difficult to

THE HARRELL DIFFICULTY.

We feel regrets that Mr.. Eugene
Harrell ever piloted an excursion to
the Worlds Fair. He has en-
balmed himself in the memory of
many of his patrons who will remem-
Der him forever; the affair led him
to the discovery of a new system of
bookkeeping, but this is not suffi-
Gent for immortality; he has given
the newspapers a great deal of mat
ter for publication and in this way
kept some of them from being dull.
He has done much more than all
these things. He has been the fund
amental cause of bad blood between
two newspaper men who ought to
live in peace and harmony the length
of their days. We refer to Mr.. Greek
Olympiades Andrews, of the Raleigh
MOI Chronicle, and Mr.. AL Fairbroth-
er, of the Durham Globule.
1t is indeed fortunate that there
are twenty six full statute miles be-
tween Raleigh and Durham We
understand that Col. Fairbrother
has a gun that will fire % miles and
that Mr.. Andrews has pen that will
spill ink almost as far. Distance
therefore not only lends a certain
sort of enehantment to the view but
almost prevents the humiliation of
two newspaper men.
The following card will show the
state of Mr.. AS affection for Col. f !:
A Word to the Editor of the Durham
Globe.
Mr.. AL Fairbrother, editor of the
Durham Globe, in his issue of last
Saturday, goes out of his way to re-
fer to matter between Mr.. E. S.
Sheppe, of Durham, and myself, and
makes use of language which he well
knows that he could not use to me
in person. Mr.. Fairbrother is TWEEN
ty-six miles from Raleigh, and shall
take no further notice of him at
present than to say that he has been
characterized and is well known to
be a contemplate and degraded
blacke guard, scoundrel and cur,
whose personality, appearance and
every thought and utterance are
those of the low, abusive, indecent
and scurrilous vulgarian.

THE DIFFERENCE.

There is n wide difference betwee n
continuing a successful business and
reviying a crippled business. The
Republican party ingloriously failed
to extend the prosperity established
by the former Democratic admins
tration and was kicked out of control
of the nations business. This bust
ness has again been placed in the
hands of the Democracy, and to
them is allotted the task of overcom-
ing the damage wrought by the Re-
publicans. Some idea of the extent
of the injury inflicted during the four
years that the Republicans were en-
trusted with the management of the
peoples affairs may be seen from the
following statement, clipped from
the New York World:
"When the Democrats turned the
government over to the Republicans
in 1889 the treasury surplus was
nearly 100000, 900, the annual
surplus revenue the same, and the
excess of gold above the reserve WAS
sos, 100000. When the Democrats
received it back in 1898 the treasury
surplus and the revenue surplus were
gone and the free gold was less than
81 100000"
In the face Of these facts many Re-
publican papers have the presump-
ton to charge the Democratic party
with responsibility for all the finan-
cial reverses of the country. This is
nothing less than blatant dema-
goguery. 1t does not require d
Napoleon of finance to discern the
fact that if a private business should
suffer q waste of resources compare
BILE to that which the government
has suffered, under Republican con-
troll, it would require time and the
most judicious management to re-
vive that business and place it again
upon a safe and sound basis; if, in
deed, the task could be accomplished
at all. The Democratic party is now
engaged in the difficult work assign
ed it by the people and will not prove
unfaithful to the trust.

facts about the South, placed before
Western people at this time, will be
productive of great good to the
South. The Manufacturers Record
desires to obtain detailed Informal
ton about the experiences of the
Northern and Western people who
have gone into the South and settled
there. We would like to know what
has been paid for Lind, what crops
have been raised, what their cultiva-
ton has cost and what has been
received for the crops. We want all
the facts in specific cases, and we will
take pleasure in placing this infor
nation before thousands of people
in the West and Northwest. If those
who are interested in the immigra-
ton movement will furnish us with
the facts we will make use of them in
a manner that will greatly benefit
the South. We do not want general
information, but facts in detail.
And there is urgent need for i'm
mediate action
If this idea can be carried out to a
considerable degree, we believe it will
be productive of the best results.
Practical examples of success in
farming will lead Others to engage
in similar pursuits and success in the
South will tend to bring many Others
to the South. We venture to say
that the most effective means of in
ducing people to come from Europe
was that ofprivate letters from those
those who had preceded and related
their success and advantage to
friends and neighbors.

opportunity to secure thousands of
desirable settlers in the South by

No man is more to be envied today
than the owner of a farm, be it large
or small, who is out of debt and has
learned to SO manage it that it fur

wants of his family, and leaves a lit
tie to be laid by for future use.
There are men who are doing this on
a few acres. Wevisited one in Frank

tanned 25 acres and the sales were
$4,000 year for a series of years
Another on a farm of 100 acres, only
half tillable, who sold an average of

LAND TRANSFER.


ferred in a symbolic manner without
any writing whatever. After a while
deeds were required and system of
registering all land titles came into
use. Further progress ought to be
made. Nothing, it seems to us,
could be more desirable to owners
of land than a system which would
make real property as easy to trans
fer as personal property. A great
reform in this direction was institut-
ed in Australia and it is being dis
cussed more or less in the several
States of this nation. This system
requires an owner who wishes his
land registered to submit all his
title deeds for examination and to
make oath as to the value of his
land. Public notices of this applica-
ton are issued and any person hav-
ing claims against the property may
file a document (called a caveat)
against it. Where disputed or doubt
full points arise, an Interpretation is
placed upon them by the courts, and
from this decision an appeal may
be taken to the Supreme court.
When the title has been approved
the name of the owner is entered on
the register and a certificate of title
is issued. The former title deeds, as
far as they have exclusive reference
to the land in question, are Cancelled
by the registrar-geLeral. On being
registered as owner the applicant
acquires a title which, subject only
to such membranes or interests as
are entered on the register, is an in
defeasible one. Provision, however,
is made for the subsequent invallda
ton of a certificate OF title if it can
be shown to have been obtained by
fraud. If the certificate of title
should be lost, copy of it, attested
by the registrar-general, will suffice
for all purposes for which the origin
al certificate was good. The land is
transferred or dealt with by short
instruments framed according to
certain simply statutory forms,
which in their turn are duly regis
tered. A new owner acquiring land
by such a transfer may have either a
fresh certificate of title issued to him
or an Endorsement showing the trans
fer put upon the old one
No instrument dealing with land is
effectual until registered. Persons
who enter into contracts with a
registert owner must either trust to
his honor or protect themselves by
entering a caveat. Over and above
the costs of advertisement, when an
application in lodged, fees, generally
small in amount, have to be paid
upon the several acts which the
statute enjoins or allows. A further
charge is also made of half a penny
per 81 of the sworn value of the land.
This tax is applied to an assurance
fund, which now amounts to a large
sum, and exists to be drawn upon
for the naturalization of the gov
eminent. tits a signal proof of the
excellence of the system and of the
smoothness of it's working that this
fund has not been drawn on to any
considerable extent.

THREE JEWISH HOLIDAYS.
A Short Resume of the Festal Gus tom
of the IsraeIites.

During the month of Tishri, cor
responding with the months of Sep
TENDER and October, three holidays
are observed by our Jewish citizens
all over the globe.
The first, Rosh Hashonoh, or New
Year, according to their calendar,
was ushered in Saturday evening at
sunset. The seventh month is emf
nently a festival month, which fact
is to be pr oclaimed on the first day,
the New Year, by the sounds of the
cOrnet, as commanded in Holy writ,
Numbers xxx.
The second of these holy days is
the "Yom Kippur, or Day of Atone
ment," rs commanded in Leviticus
xvi, 20 and 30. And it shall be unto
you an everlasting law: In the
seventh month, on the tenth of the
month We shall afflict your souls and
do no manner of work, also the
native and the stranger who dwelleth
among you; for on that day He
atoneth for you to purify you; from
all your sins We shall purify your
selves before God.
The Day of Atonement be-
gins on Tuesday Sept. 10th at p.
m. and ends "a hours later. 1t is
the hottest of days in the Jewish
calendar. 1t is founded upon two
premises: the weakness and the
power of man; upon sinfulness. to
which every man, in the course ofthe
year, becomes more or less subject;
and upon his godlike higher nature,
by means of which he is enabled to
arrive at the consciousness of his
shortcomings and through his own
strength, elevate, purify and free
himself from all sins. But, extra
ordinary means are required for this
purpose. Abstinence from all world
ly occupation and physical enjoy
ments, on the one hand, and on the
other, increased devotional exercises
and profoundly fervent prayer are
the means leading to that sacred
object.
And while these two days are in
soituted for the purpose of inviting
man to serious reflection, constitute
ing the hottest days of said calendar,
the Sd festival is of a joyous nature,
l. e. The Feast of Tabernacles is
that of an Autumnal Festival, a
religious rejoicing over the manifold
fruits of the trees and other produc-
tions of the soil which are gathered
in at that season, and with which
Divine Providence gladdens the
children of man. AT the same time,
this Festival means to commemorate
the merciful guidance of God, where
with He preserved their forefathers
during forty years in the wilderness,
where there was aeither sowing nor
harvesting; and thus annually to
strengthen and enliven within their
hearts the memory of theever watch
full and active Divine Providence

A TENNESSEE judge charged the

you win a foot-race," does the man
or the boy gamble?
