Help Home.
[FranklintOn Weekly.l

Every man, no matter what his
station in lite may be, whether he fills
an humble or exalted station, can and
should be factor for the accomplish
ment of good in some direction.
In building up the place in which
he lives, every one can do something.
There is always plenty of work for
willing hands to do. AS has been
truthfully said. 8" If you want field
of labor you can find it anywhere. !"
There has been some talk of erecting
cotton seed oil mill here and some
work in the direction accomplishing
this has been done, and we trust the
good citizens of the town will carr
the scheme on to perfection. One
town needs this mill. And there is
room for many other good paying in
dustries here. But these can not be
secured without some earnest effort.
Manufacturing enterprises do not
spring up by chance, but through the
medium of we'll directed labor.
The same amount of energy that
builds up and makes cotton mill a
paying institution, and giving employ
ment to hundreds of men who are
thus enabled to supply their families
| with home, food and clothing, will
start other industries that will produce
like results.
Some say if l only had the money
| would make a genuine boom in
town. l would do much toward i'm
proving it by erecting the necessary
buildings and putting in machinery
to start number of industries. Let
us remember one thing, where there
is sufficiency of the right kind Of
energy and enterprise there is always
way to utilize it. If one man can
not raise enough money to build a
cotton factory, perhaps ten or a dozen
can. Then form, a company, combine
your capital, put energetic hands and
brains together and "make long
pull and a strong pull" in this direc-
ton and you can hardly fail to realize
satisfactory results.

a way to please everybody and give Of
Tense to none. Failure to do this involves
| the loss of q subscriber or the with
holding of dollar advertisement.
All OF you doubtless have discovered
how hard it is to touch every man in the
spot that tickles him most. What will
please one person will offend another.
You can't suit everybody-and the ed
itor who will try is either an idiot or
yet unborn. Do your duty as you see 1t,
| let the consequences be what they may.
An editor must be guided by his own
sense of right and justice. In mapping
out any line of policy, if he be true
man with character and Intelligence sutii-
| cient to occupy the high and responsible
| position he does, he should first satisfy
himself that he is right, then go ahead.
| He should have the courage of his con-
victions, and having dare maintain them.
| Without this principle he can not be true
| to himself, his profession or the people.
But with all it's hardships and disad-
| vantages there is something fascinating
about the newspaper business-the towel
| that stands behind the door, for instance.
| At any rate once we get in most OF Us
| find it as difficult to get out again as it
is for fly to extricate itself from the keg
| ofprinters ink. And staying in let US make
the most of our opportunities and with
| courageous hearts and firm resolutions
meet the responsibilities that rest upon
US. Editors see SO many sides of life,
| and see so far into them all, it has some
times occurred to me that one who pre-
serves his integrity of manhood and re
mains true to himself, faithful to his pro-
fession and honest with his constituents,
| discharging his full duty in the patient.
| earnest, self-sacrifcing spirit character
istic OF the members of the North Caro-
| lima Press, is worthy of the highest ad
| miration and deserves the plaudlt of
"well done good and faithful servant"
when he is forced at last by the grim
monster Death, or his twn-brother Pow
erty, with whom many OF us are on
terms of intimate acquaintanceship) to
lay aside the paste pot and shears.
Finally, my brethren, let Us take cour
age from the consciousness OF duty we'll
done, and so live that when the final
summons comes and we shall take our
place next to the band wagon and ''move
to that mysterious realm where paper
bills, rents and printers hire never come
due, we may be soothed and sustained
by an unfaltering trust that the heart
Of the faithful office boy will be with us
still, and the eyes of dear delinquents
who promised, but never came, will grow
fearful and dim at our going.

SANDER.
Wilson Mirror

There is nothing which wings its
fight so swiftly as calumny, nothing
which is uttered with more ease, moth
ing which is listened to with more
readiness, or dispersed more widely.
SANDER soaks into the mind as water
soaks into low and marshy places,
where it becomes stagnant and often
sive. The tongue of SANDER is never
tired, ia one form or another it man:
ages to keep itself in constant employ
ment. 1t is the weapon OF a mean,
cowardly heart, and no one but an
assassin will SANDER fellow being and
soil his reputation. No soul Of high
estate can take delight in SANDER. 1t
proves that somewhere in the soul there
is a weakness-a vile, evil nature.
That man who attempts to bring down
and depreciate those who are below
him does not thereby elevate himself.
He rather sinks himself, while those
whom he traduces are benefited rather
than injured by the ISLANDERS of one so
base as he. He who INDUCES in
SANDER is like one who throws ashes
to the windward, which come back
to the same place and cover him all
over. TO be continually subject to
froth OF SANDER will tarnish the purest
virtue, as constant exposure to the
atmosphere will obscure the lustre of
the finest gold. How small a matter
will start slanderous report; a mere
hint, a significant look, mysterious
corrupt glance directing attention to
peculiar person, is often amply suf-
fcient to start the tongue of SANDER.
Never speak evil of another even with
cause. Remember we all have our
faults, and if we expect charity from
the world we must be charitable our
selves. A word once spoken can never
be recalled; therefore it is prudent to
think twice before we speak, especially
when i'll is the burden of our talk.
Speak no i'll Of friend, nor speak any
of an enemy. There is seldom any
llllS ullcItu III llldllCC WHICH lCtul uo
not to the heart of the speaker. Deal
tenderly with the absent. Say nothing
10 inf1ict a wound on their reputation.
They may be wrong and wicked, yet
your knowledge of it does rot oblige
you to disclose their character, except
to save others from injury. Then do
it in way that bespeaks spirit OF
kindness for the absent offenders. On
many mind and many heart there
are sad inscriptions deeply engraved
by the tongue of SANDER, which no
effort can erase. They are more
durable than the impression of the
diamond on the glass, for the ipscrip-
ton on the glass may be destroyed by
blow, but the impression on the heart
will last forever. Let not the sting OF
calumny sink too deeply in your soul.
Know that SANDER is not long lived,
provided your conduct does not justify
them and that truth, the child Of time,
ere long will appear to vindicate you.

Diplomatic Appointments.
baltimore SUM-

Baltimore Sun.
The appointment of Mr.. Thomas
F. Bayard, of Delaware, to be ambas-
sador of the United States at the Court
of St. James is selection most graft
flying to the country. Mr. Bayard is
a statesman of whom the democratic
party throughout the length and
breadth of the land is proud, and the
party can not but be delighted that
the exSecretary of State has at length
consented to accept 4 post for which
he is so emnently fitted. AS our am
bassador in London Mr.. Bayard will
do honor to the government he repre-
sents.
1t will be noted he is the first of our
representatives abroad to receive the
rank of ambassador, as provided in
the recently enacted law. This law
proposes the appointment of ambassa-
doris to the countries that are repre-
sented at Washington by ambassadors.
England and France are SO repre-
sented. 1t was Mr.. Eustls's ill-fortune
to have been appointed " minister to
France before the intention of France
to have an ambassador at Washington
was notified to the President. Other
wise he, too, it may be assumed, would
have been given the rank of ambas-
sador
1t will be observed that Mr.. Cleve-
lands appointments to diplomatic
posts have thus far been eminently
judicious. The appointment of ex-
Governor Porter, of Tennessee, to
succeed Patrick Egan in Chill will
doubtless be most agreeable to the
sister republic.

AN INTERESTING COMPAR-
ISON.
The Boys Who Smoke and Those
Who Do Not.
Baltimore Sun. I

All 0bscrvant teachers are aware of
the effect which the use Of tobacco has
upon the schoolbOyS. 1t IS declared
by men Of long experience in teaching
that smoking makes boys sluggish and
that the capacity for study is greatly
impaired. Recently Investigations have
been made to ascertain the effect of
tobacco upon the physical develop
ment. The board Of health of the
State of New Jersey has issued circu-
lars To- teachers Of the public schools
Of the State containing lnterrOgatOrles
upon this subject. DR.. Laban Dennis,
OF Newark, who has pad much atten-
tIpn t" The subject, has prepared an
article giving the results OF some Of
his Investigations, which appears in
the report OF the board of health for
1892.
1t seems that measurements made
Of I87 students at Yale College showed
that the non users of tobacco gained
oyer the uscrs during the college year
IN weight , ; per cent, in height 2O1a
per cent, in girth of chest 10 per cent,
IN lung capacity Of per cent. Measure
mcnts made at Amherst College showed
even greater difference in favor of those
who do not use tobacco
There Is really but little temptation
for boys 10 smoke. In order to &C
Iuire the habit they undergo agonies
Of nausea, and the chief incentive to
the habit il, perhaps, the belief that
It increases their Importance. 1t IS
useless To argue with them or to ad-
viac them that they bower themselves
IN public CStlmLtIpn by smoking,
rather than raising themselves. But
II 1t Is possible 10 convince them that
their standing in baseball or foot ball
will DC impaired by the habit, the
more ambitious boys will give up to-
baCCo. OF this the athletic associations
bear abundant testimony. Members
OF them have reported that the use OF
tobacco is harmful to young men in
training for 4 contest which requires
strength and endurance.

The Teachers Worlds Fair
Party.

In response to many inquiries we
will say that the biggest thing in North
Carolina this year Will be the party of
five hundred teachers and their friends,
who will leave for the Worlds Fair
on July Goth, under the we'll known
good management of Col. +. G.. Har-
rell. The party IS 1 very select COM
pany OF congenlal friends, and is not
an excursion by any means. The
limit oimcmbcrS Is now nearly reached,
and no person will he admitted be-
ynnd the limit, as the manager is de-
termlned that there shall be one party
To visit the World Fair without any
CrOwding or discomfort.
This party will make the trip on
two special trains, and there will be
no persons on the trains except mem
bers of the party whose names are
duly registered. The company will
comprise about one hundred Raleigh
people, and the others will be from
every part of the State, there being a
special party of twenty-five teachers
from South Carolina, and another OF
nineteen from Virginia. The assem-
bling point is Raleigh, and persons
will be admitted to the trains only at
Goldsboro, Raleigh, Durham, Greens
boro and Danvllle. The trains leave
Raleigh at O'Clock on July Goth and
arrive in Chicago at ,:3o on the 2Ist.
Every arrangement Tor the trip is
now fully arranged and the party will
see the Worlds Fair with much more
comfort than any other persons will
enjoy who visit Chicago, and at less
than one half the expense The visit
will occupy nearly twelve days and a
inll week will be spent in Chicago.
The total necessary expenses of the
trip are only $50, which include rail
road fare both ways, board and lodg-
ing In Chicago, four admissions to the
Exposition and twenty street car
tickets. Tie N0,M Carolina IfAfhry
has prepared circular of full infor-
nation which will be sent to any per
SONS desiring to Join the party.

Ladies' Summer Styles Nearly
Fac-Similes of Those Of Our
GrandmOtherS.

Leading designers of fashions are al
ready discussing the revival OF the styles
of the Louis NH. period, and believe
also that che Elizabethan ruffles and
stomachers will come into fashion for the
summer casino toiletts. In making the
new skirts dress makers perform a real
stroke of magic For while the amateur
modiste finds herself at loss to repro
duce one of these new models, the eXpe-
rienced professional knows how to fit the
hips in front gore or pleat and cause the
skirt to suddenly expand and flare out
ward at the feet, where it measures many
yards in circumference. And this simply
because she wisely takes her knowledge
from the fashion magazines published
both in Paris and New York, by A. Nc
Dowell & Co. These illustrated magazines
are an invaluable guide to any one who
seeks information in the latest fashions

peer for practical dress making. They
also contain lessons on current styles
which alone place them above COMPETE

A special to the Atlanta Constitution
regards the election of General Cox
to the Secretaryship of the Senate as
showing Senator Ransom to be espe-
cially influential among his colleagues.
1t is doubtful if any Senator for
the past twenty years has welded
more influence at the Federal Capital
than Senator Ransom. His ability,
his experiences, his manner, all COM
bine to make defeat, in whatever he
undertakes to accomplish, almost I'M
known to him. 1t is only once in 4
half century that State has Senator
better equipped, more constitutionally
fitted and as deserving as the senior
