set apart from them in any way. 1t
has been a long, hard struggle
with them to obtain the same pros
tesslonal training with men, and,
having secured it. the logic of the
situation is apparent. We have
heard of women themselves, serie
GUS advocates of the rights of their
sex and earnest helpers in all paths
leading to women's large OPT .
tunities, who have confessed
frankly tfat their separate exhibie
ton at Chicago was a mistake.
But it may prove a mistake out OF
which good may come, if, instead
of vain efforts to make the position
ustifable, the MAJ 'rity OF women
shall recognize the false step and
turn no more in that direction.
Will they be philosophical enough
for this?"
The determination of certain
women who are Influential enough
to have their own way. to preserve
the Woman's Building under the
name of /: The Permanent Woman
Building" is not a promising sign.
One thing, however, is certain, and
the women themselves have unin-
tentionally brought it about--there
will never again be "Board OF
Lady Managers" connected with
any national enterprise in the
United States.

Root ofthe Business Trouble.

The present business condition
can be compressed into a sentence.
Those who have money for permas
nent investment do not know
whether the dollars they will re-
ceive in return for those they ins
vest now will be worth one huns
dred cents or only fifty. Until they
can be satisfied on this score their
dollars will remain locked up in
banks or private safes. and the buse
mess OF the country will continue
only from hand to mouth.
There are crops in abundance,
there is plenty OF material waiting
to be manufactured into the nects-
saries and Injuries of human
use, thousands of workmen are anxr
ious to employ their trained hands
and acute inte.lects IN making the
goods, there are backs to be clothed
and stomacbs to be flIed-in short
all the elements IF usual business
prosperity are waiting to be set IN
motion BY an authoritative ASSURE
ance that our financial system IS OF
will be on a sound basis. The
country is not paralyzed for fear Of
a ruinuus assault Oh the tariff, for
there has been no tariff changes
and those that .re probable are not
of the root aud branch kind. The
root of the trouble is want OF con-
fdence in the stability of financial
values.
The House Of Representative
took proper action to restore cond-
dence weeks ago in passing a bill
to stop the further purchase OF
cheap silver. The effect for the
time was almost magical. Money
was unlocked, manufactures start-
ed up, merchants began to replen-
ish their stocks aud customers to
purchase. But as the weeks of fue
tile talk in the Senate grew into g
month the business revival suffered
a chill which is fast developing in
to a state of permanent congela-
ton. Everybody else knows what
is the matter. Are the Senators
alone unable to see that which is as
plain as the light OF day?
While the Senators continue to
talk and refuse to vote the present
business condition will continue
with increasing stagnation. OF this,
there can he no manner OF doubt
Can it be that the Senate holds it,
self above and superior to the pub
lie prosperity, and that its mem
be,s dream hat they are without
responsibility for the general wel~
fare? If they do it this time for
them to awake to the fact that the
people Whose business iii suffering
because the Senate can talk but not
act may soon conclude to diss
pei ali Senatorial dreams Of this
kind by dispelIing the Senate
PhilG. Times.

DAMAGES FOB BREACH OF PROM
Use.

Once in a while q jury selected
to try a breach-of-promise euit
awards to the plaintiff a sum that

Of the case. Such an i%nstance, ii
would seem, occurred when a vers
dict for $40, 900 was returned IN
fayorof Mrs. Anna D. Van Houten
and against Asa P. Morse in Boss
ton on Wednesday. This, we be-
lieye, ia next to the largest amount
ever given for breach of promise Of
marriage, the only larger judgment
being that Of the famous "Bunnier
Baby Bunting" case, in which Mr..
Arbuckle, the Brooklyn coffee
merchant, was mulcted for $45,-
OO0- There is always a feeling
when q woman goes into court for
this purpose that, except when to
failure to fulfill the matrimonial
engagement ia added the wrong OF
betrayal, she is deserving of very
little sympathy and, at the most,
very slight damages. Part of this
sentiment is due to the assumption
that a woman who will thus publish
her love affairs and attempt to
trade upon them cannot, in the
nature Of things, be sensitive
enough to be deeply wounded; but
with that kind of argument law
has nothing to do. There are,
howver, practical grounds for withs
holding sympathy from plaintiff
in actions for breach of promise.
The first and strongest of these
considerations is the fact that when
a man, having won from a woman
the promise of her hand in mar
riage, discovers that his affections
no longer prompt him to desire the
match, the woman should be will.
ing to release him, for selfninterest
should teach her that no happiness
is to be found in taking a res
luctant. husband. Far better
would it be for them beth to
break off an association which must
become more and more miserable
the longer it lasts. Looking at an
other size of the matter, it is diff
cult to seejust how a oma can

should like te see this Van Houston

NEVER AGAIN.

The Boston Sunday Herald, il
. thoughtful article entitled "The
Women's Mistake at Chicago
while commencing the Wom&n's
Building itself as Exceptionally
dignifed, harmonious and attrac-
tive" notes nevertheless what every
observative visitor noted, "the lack
of concentration and purpose IN
the contents of the building, and
the intrusiveness OF trivialities. "
Says the Herald
"Wemen's place in the world is
among men In everyday ex-
perience their work is. side by side
with men. The sexes gain from
each other il all association, and il
our modern life teaches anything,
it ia that the individual, male or
female, is of little consequence,
except az al integral part of a
strong and harmonious combina-
ton. The women's work, the
value OF which is never questioned,
10 that which is done in the same
spirit as that of men, and taking
its place among achievements of
its kind il pledged upon 1ts merits

at is a pity that, for the sake of
what certain women cordially de-
sire, the sex should not have made
q strong ger impression through their

CROP REPORTS.
Weekly BaiIetfn of the State Weather
Service.

Service.
The reports of correspondents of
the Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin
issued by the North Carolina State
weather service for the week ending
Monday, September 18th, 1898, in
oicates that the first part of the
week was very unfavorable on ac-
count of much rain, cloudy weather
and lack of sunshine. After Thurs
day the weather was good except
some cool nights during the last few
days. Special reports concerning
cotton Indicate very unfavorable
outlook. The probable yield cannot
lie estimated over 10 per cent, and
will b. probably considerably under
that figure. Out of over a hundred
reports only five report cotton in
good condition with prospects for
average yield. The wet weather has
also caused second growth of tobacco
and poor cures.
WESTERN DIsTRTCT.-Some very
| heavy rains fell in this district the
| first of che week. Cotton picking be-
| came general the latter part of the
week. A good many correspondents
report much damage to cotton and
corn by so much bad weather. Cot
| ton bolls which were cracked and
ready to open were injured by the
rain. Many reports place probable
| yield OF cotton at less thar so per
cent. Some corn is down on the
ground and injured by wet weather.
Damage to cotton on bottom lands
is considerable by overflow 81
streams, and land washed.

ent Rough s. Ready Fire Company
"a hicI CHI ri rnl

ent Rough s. Ready Fire Company
which was chartered in 1868
The well known uniform, red fan
mel blouse with row of wheth but.
tons running diagonally across the
front from left shoulder to right hip,
was adopted May 18th, 1868.
The first fire which this company
attended was in the spring of 1871
when the Emanuel Reich smoke-house
| on Happy Hill was burned.
The first engine-house stood in the
Salem square until it was removed
about 1855: after which the engines
were kept in house on Academy
street, just west of Tar branch"
About 1874 the engine-house was
| the late Mr. Henry Meinung, on Main
street, where it remained until the
| present house was built in 1885,
La 1881 the town purchased a new
| Button hand fire engine which was
used for the first time at the Miller
Planning Mill fire, December 1st, 1854.
This engine contained all the latest
improvements and was a tirst-class
| machine in every respect, but it re-
| manned in use only two years, when it
was exchanged for our present Button
steamer which was tested October
22nd, 1886.
Among the most recent improve
ments of the Company may be men
toned the new hose wagon and the
| fire alarm system which were purchas-
| ed last spring.
We have now traced the fire COM
| pany from its beginning to the pres
ent time and have seen how every step
| taken was for the betterment of the
company. We have seen how each
piece of apparatus was an improve
ment over its predecessor and we can
not help wondering at the improve
| ments that have been made since the
| old Vigilant Company was organized.
| Since Sept. 18th, 1543, almost five
