SUBJECTS THEN, SLAVES NOW

The News & Observer claims to

coinage of silver, but says that it
will take ga joint effort of the civil

honesty of the editor of that paper.

As Big as q President.

The governor general of Canada re-
ceives salary of CSC, 900 a year, which
is the same as that given to the president
of the United States. In addition, Rideau
Hall, at Ottawa, mis- official residence, Is
kept up at the public expense. That the
Canadians are not niggardly In enabling
the governor general to keep house in
good style is shown by an account Of
the expenditures the past year. They
indicate, too. that the governor general

other articles in that line.
Fifteen persons are employed to take
care Of the house and grounds, besides
which $500 was paid other parties for
taking care of the grounds and FATS was
expended for removing snow. An al

and light, to which was added 1884 for
repairing stoves. 1t evidently costs some

Kingsley's Love of Nature.

Charles Kingsley was to the very end
of his life thrilled and dominated by the
beauty of the outer world. He had a
fierce delight in the stronger and wilder
phases Of nature, a sort of viking spirit
that was stirred by wind and wave.
One wild autumnal night, after he had
been reciting the story of Cornish ship
wreck, he suddenly cried to his guests:
Come out! come out and look!"
They followed him into the garden, to
be met by tempestuous rush Of warm
rain The preacher poet, needless of
personal discomfort, stood lost In
thought and recollection, and suddenly
exclaimed In tones of intense enjoyment:
Splendid What a night! Drench-
ingl This is night when you young
men can't talk. can't think too much DO
etry."
Intensely sensitive to every mood of
nature. he sometimes shrank from her
cruelty.
Don't 60 out today" he said once t.
friend. There Is a northeast wind
that will kill you if you give it a chance.
It's an assassin. Companion.

1 heard RECENTLY the story of hcw =
girl who wanted TO and triezi to did not

IN that one respect. her misfortune. She
removed 10 the city some years sgo from
little cut Of the way town of neigh

by her mother. started In 10 cut a swath
and NOW d pathway into the longed for
green pasturage eujoyei by the ultra
fashionables Of local society. Her fam
lily was not old. nor had IL in any way
the relnotest favor Of Virginia origin.
However, this would hardly have count
ed against her. for abe came Of good. hon
est stock and was supremacy beautiful
She carried herself like O queen. and
with her peerless beauty eap,ivated the
men Of society. Her form VIA. sur
mounted by the bead of goddess, and
the whitenecs and exquisiteness of neck,
arms and shoulders made men thrill
Her hair was a dream of sunshine, and the
light in her dropping eyes seemed divine.
Her lips were invitations 30 love, and
the color of her face enough TO set an

exercised sort Of freedom that encour-
aged men to approach nearer than ordi-
narily and a. the same time was effectuai
in its restraining influence. She dis
played her charms not lavishly. but
abundantly.
No wonder. then, that the clubmen
about town took her up. They sought
her constantly, and soon she held court
with, IL not the splendor, all the grace
and graciousness Of a queen. So con-
stantly was she in demand that ut the
Chrysanthemum club a sort Of bureau
OF engagements was established 80 that
she might, as it were, be distributed
fairly. She was taken everywhere-by
men. She was called upon INCREASINGLY
by men. She was soon the subject Of
conversation-among men. Her beauty
became more pronounced as she learned
the little arts and articles that please
men, and she became the talk of the day
wherever she went, at home or abroad
All this, and especially the way the
men took her up, set the young women
of the city's highest dead against her.
They did not deny her beauty-they could
not-neither did they besmatter her fair
fame. They simply let her alone. The
young women Of society know thing or
two, and this they knew right well-that
if they did not call upon her, and left her
at home to receive men, they would soon
tire of it md let her alone also. Such
proved to be the case.
She was never called on by those Of
her own sex. and consequently knew no
body. No one ever received for her, and
society, therefore, never had her gracious
presence and queenly beauty in its ranks.
At last, in desperation or in some other
mood, she left the city. Her course was
everywhere a conquest. She is today
envied by many who hear occasionally Of
her, and she is engaged to wealthy
man who will give her queenly beauty a
regal setting. This is true story

French Polite. and Pettieoat..

1t is possible that it may some time
dawn even ou Frenchmen that petticoats
and politics make poor combination.
Gambetta died with his mistress

outlay which preceded. accompanied and
followed his elopement with another
mans wife. Clemenceau SYSTEMATICALLY

tress before his last duel and has lost In
influence since his wife left him. Nj. do
Freycinet suffers in public reputc from
his open and public habits. The list by
no means stops here, and tho real diff.

and after then each subscriber will
see from each paper when his sub
scription expires. We shall then
revise our list at the beginning of each
month. and drop all who are in arrears
to that date; This will be an lnvari-
able rule strictly adhered to and
none should get offended if they get
dropped, 1T IS BUSINESS. We have
put the price of the paper low and al
lowed subscribers to pay upon the
installment plan as it were. 1t is not
fair to those who pay for the paper
and desire to see it go on in it's good
work to allow those who do not pay
to break down the paper by forcing
the Editor to furnish it at his own
expense. We intend to keep the
paper running and it will be done up
on the cash system.

FAIsoNs, n. c., Feb. 81, 1898.
Mr.. EDIToR.-l have just had the
pleasure of reading letter from one
of Sampson county's young men who
now lives in the city of New York
who went to hear Gen. Weaver
speech on Currency and Transports
ton. He says his speech was of two
hours length, before plain and re-
spectacle people, whose faces had
the stamp of labor depicted. Gen.
Weaver was introduced as still hav-
ing his headquarters in the field. His
argument was very strong case
against the present system. His au-
dience went wild over him, enthusi-
asm ran high, swearing he would be
the next President, giving him three
cheers then and there. This is a
quiet and bloodless revolution he
said, but it began where the
French revolution did among the
people. The pot began to boil near
est the fire. Cheer after cheer sa-
luted him. He said many Demo
Gratis and Republicans would like to
have voted for many things in the
Peoples party platform, but would
not do so because they did not like
some parts of it, instead they voted
for what they did not want and got
it. He is very much in earnest,
speaking and canvassing just the
same; and that he is neither crazy or
a fool and that his speech will be
echoed and re-echoed from ocean to
ocean.
Now, Mr.. editor, as Bros. McCune.
Terrell and Tillman and good many
other leading lights propose to bury
the Ratchet and advise all to bury
their past differences and put their
shoulders to the wheel and push SOL
idly for reformation as set forth by
the Alliance. If we be Alliancemen
where can any object, if not, get out
of the way and be stumbling blocks
no longer, for the walls of the Tenn
pie must be built, and the more Ia
borers we have the sooner it will be
built. What say you.
