HE'D MAKE A GOOD ONE.

We see from some Of our exchanges
that Mr.. Joseph NJ. Page, editor OF the
Terseyville, Illinois, Democrat, is
prominently mentioned for Congress
from his district. 1t is our pleasure TO
know the gentleman personally and 1t
is our unbiased opinion that his people
would honor themselves in thus honor
ing him. Mr. Page is the intelligent
and industrious Corresponding Score
tary of the National Editorial AssoCia-
ton and if he has anything like as
strong hold upon the voters of his
district as he has upon the individual
members of the \. f. A., he will be
nominated and elected by an over
whelming majority. And if he should
serve his constituents with the same
intelligence, zeal and fidelity that he
has shown as Corresponding Secretary
of the National Editorial Association
no people could boast of having an
ADLER or more faithful Representative
| in the halls of Congress.

SENATOR RAN5o,: should not he
made political issue thi, year for the
reason that to do 50 would drive many
Democrats o9t Of the ranks. There
are thousands Who would leave the
party organization il they were given
to understand that a vote for Demo

will be a vote for Ransom. The party
can not afford to take unnecessary

But is Senator Ransom to :" be made
a political issue this year?' Has the
Democratic party in North Carolina
come to such a pass that it has no
other issue to go before the people
upon except the claim OF a single
individual for office? The GOLD LEAF

Beautiful Easter.

The near approach OF Easter and the
beautiful and. fragrant flowers which are
always SO popular and protqse at this
delightful season, causes awxuer in.:the
Germantown hdspsndeat to say this:

" There is no season OF the year that is
more beautiful to me than Easter time,
when flowers, those emblems of truth,
are in so many homes. Notwithstanding
the dull times that have made many
tables bare, see in many OF these homes
pretty flowers that make windows al
most speak. They are a sweet enjoy
ment and source of so much study and
pleasure. A heart that does not love
flowers and children is a miniature ice
factory Everybody knows what q
source of delight flowers are to invalids
at all times. Nothing is so sweet and
dear to them. 1t is the admiration for
the beautiful that comes when so many
other things are passed by. And when
we come to consider the cost of flowers,
why every body can have one. They
need not be the costly exotics that are
nursed and petted in some greenhouse
to give them anything of a show. If
your means are moderate, buy a modest
flower. The children will love it just as
much, and they are the ones everybody
is deeply interested in. | believe in Civ
ing the youngsters pot plants and flowers

when Easter comes round, buy them
each pretty little flower, and tell them
that it is their own, and you will be sur
prised how much real pleasure they get
out of it. l don't believe in buying
flowers because other people do, or be
cause it is fashionable, but because low

After hearing the old gentleman,

we see from our exchanges that the
hold Fishermen of Beaufort aud More
head City have just captured another
whale, making the third one caught
this season. Nothing is said, however,
about this fellow being made saddle

article published on the first page of

of the recent capture the New Berne
Journal says:
Three of these monster fish were
sighted and boatmen at once went IN
pursuit and with united effort one OF
them was caught, gentleman by the
name of Willis being the one to fire
the successful bomb.
The huge disporter of the deep
measured As feet long and yielded a
large quantity of oil to the captors.

THELOCAL PAPER,
The Value and Importance of a
Good Home Paper to the Town
and Community.

Upon entering on the sixth year of
his paper the Durham San, Editor
Robinson takes occasion to moralize a
little about the value and Importance
Of a good local paper to the community
in which it is published, and among
other things said this:
A good home paper is the best friend
a town can have and is in itself an ad-
vertisement worth all the patronage it
receives
The newspaper most of all suffers from
the lack of home pride and home patron
age. 1t is continually contrasted with
larger and cheaper papers and it fire.
quently happens that the words Of
friendly encouragement are fewer than
the names upon its subscription list. 1t
"puffs' every home enterprise, gives free
obituary notices to delinquents and
praises the liberality of the community
in which it is published only to see the
great bulk of the cash patronage sent
to some esteemed contemporary whose
greatest claim for consideration is it's
distance from the paper it impoverishes.
1t publishes every item that will in any
way, attract favorable attention to its
town, chronicles from week to week the
steps vi progress Ildue anu lenuS neip-
ing hand to every charitable undertake
ing for which it sometimes receives more
abuse for what is lacking than help to
greater efforts.
The home paper does so much gratu-
itOus work that home merchants do not
understand why it expects pay for ad-
vertising Individual enterprises, and be-
cause they do not make an expected run
on articles advertised conclude that ad-
vertising is a needless expense.
If the money so freely spent in other
papers was used in improving the North
Carolina papers, and lating them,
it would do more to attract investors
and build up our towns, than all other
| agencies combined.
The lavish expenditure of money in the
papers of other States and the meager
patronage OF the home papers and the
fear of dealing too literally with them
Is species OF oEe-sided economy that
brings its own result

WHAT GOOD ROADS MEAN.

The advantage of good roads to the
farmer has thus been tersely and
clearly presented by one who has given
thought to the subject and knows what
he says:
Good roads would make it possible
for the farmer TO take advantage
promptly of the highest market no
matter at what season of the year.
They would save him days and
weeks of time which he wastes every
year wallowing through the disgusting
mire of dirt roads.
They would reduce to minimum
the wear and tear on wagons and
carriages.
They would lessen the expense in
keeping horses in working order, and
fewer horses would be required in the
country to perform the farmers
work.
They would require less to keep
them in repair than DO the dirt
roads.
They would make it easier tor a
team to pull several tons over their
smooth surface than to draw wagon
through the mud.
They would afford ready commune
cation with the outside world at all
seasons of the year.
They would save the farmer many
vexations and nervous strains.
They would practically shorten the
distance to the local market.
They would increase the demand fol
country suburban property.

CHARLOTTE'S TOWEL FACTORY

We doubt if many people know that
there is such thing as towel factory
in the State. Among various other
enterprises which the progressive city
of Charlotte boasts is a towel factory,
of which the News has this to say:
One of the most hustling little
manufacturing plants in this country
is the towel factory, located near the
r. x D. depot in this city 1t runs
on full time and turns out an immense
amount of goods, which are manufac-
tured at great profit. The mill
employs only about thirty hands, and
manufactures 1900 dozen fine cotton
towels every week.

They Took Him at His Word.

The Morganton Herald tells this
good joke at the expense of one of the
ministers of that town:
One of our local pastors whose name
we need not mention, just as he had
given out the closing hymn one night
recently attempted to sit down on a
chair which at that moment happened
to be absent without excuse. Picking
himself up the best way he could,
he turned to his congregation who were
bravely trying to keep their faces
straight and said: my friends, there
are occasions upon which laughing is
right and proper, and this is one OF
them. Laugh just as much as you
please The congregation took him
at his word.
