WALKED ALL DAY.

How A Georgia Moonshiner Earned Fifty
Cents.
A strange scene was enacted in the
yard of the county jail Sunday.
II any one had looked behind the tall
board fence among the moonshiners about
6 o'clock yesterday morning they would
have seen from the earnest conversation
of the men and their excited gestures
that something unusual was about to
happen, and If they had peeped behind
the fence at $3.50 they would have seen a
long, tall fellow walking back and forth
along the narrow yards, looking neither
to the right nor left, but keeping up the
steady lick he had struck, unmindful of
the remarks made by his companions.
1t was long walk, for it began at $50
in the morning and ended at 7 in the
evening, but the most remarkable part
about it was that the young man walked
the day away for the small sum of fifty
cents.
The young man who did the walking
is David r. Payne, of Union county,
who is serving thirty-day sentence in
Jail for Illicit distilling
His home is on Young Cane creek, and
he is as wild and untutored as a noun
tain moonshiner ever gets to be.
Yesterday morning when breakfast was
being served, Turnkey Pat Mccullough,
in a joking way, said to Payne, who had
been Dragging about the long walks he
had taken, "Pll bet you fifty cents you
can't walk all day"
"A whole fifty cents?" he exclaimed,
with whistle of astonishment.
eyes; fifty cents" replied Mr.. McCul-
lough
You mean it, pardner; you ainter
joking"
" Not bit of it,"
cts a go, pardner. I'll take the bet
eff any er you felers will cover the fifty
cents"
The money was covered and at $3.50
o'clock Payne began his walk, striking
into a long, swinging stride, which he
kept up all day long. He walked from
one side of the yard to the other, dis
lance of 1876 yards for the round trip,
making it every two minutes.
When dinner time came he did not
stop to eat, but took his plate of victuals
in his hand, eating as he walked. He
was given water many times during the
day, but never stopped to drink it. He
swallowed it on the move, and never
once lost the long, swinging stride he
started in with in the morning.
He kept up this walk until seven
o'clock, never stopping for minute after
he had started.
BY making the calculation, it will be
seen that, If he walked $50 yards in two
minutes, he walked from $3.50 to z, l2l
hours, distance of 33 miles and frac.
ton.
He was given the fifty cents when he
finished his walk, and seemed very proud
of it as he laid it away in his pocket with
the remark. "That's a good little pile
or money. / never did see as much
as IS at one time during all my life."-

Keen a-,Junlpini.

The merchant who expects to do much
business in 1894 must practice the lesson
taught in the following story Two frogs
found themselves in pail of milk and
they could not jump out. One of them
was for giving up and said to the other,
"Good-by; ] sink, | die" Said his
mate, " Brace up, you old duiier. Keep
ajumpin' and see what turns up" So
they kept jumping up and down all night
and by morning had so churned the milk
that it turned to butter, and they jump.
ed off the butter to the ground.
Applied to business the fable means
this: If you want the business of 1894
to exceed that of 1893, keep a.jumpin'."
Don't cry, 81 sink, die" The mer-
chant who continues looking for bad
times will not survive TO see good times.
The man who keeps jumping will see
good times first. Garry level head, buy
standard goods and keep good, clean
stock, an attractive store, and advertise
with bright, attractive ads.

FACES TURNED TO THE SUNRISE
News and Observer

The election is happily over. For
several months the energies of the peo-
pie have been taxed to the utmost in
campaign work. Business has heen
neglected, other interests overlooked, !,
and the voters been in high state Of
tension. Count up the cost of a
political campaign! Suppose the time,
money, energy and enthusiasm spent
in trying to elect our candidates hal
been expended in building factories.
clearing farms, and in securing i'm
migration into the State, how much
would have been contributed to our
,, material development?
The election is over. The result is
generally known. The time for pollti-
cal feeling has gone by. Those who
have been victorious, can afford to put
their shoulder to the wheel to push the
old State on to greater prosperity.
! Those who are defeated ought to ac-
cept the situation gracefully, and being
"statasmen out of jobs they will Of
necessity confront the bread and butter
problem. When capable men are
thus called upon to look for new oc,
cupations, they become useful agencies
in material development.
For the next year and more, this
paper will devote its chief energies to
the upbuilding of the State and the
development of its resources. The
dormant wealth Of North Carolina |:
beyond comprehension. The task OF
making two blades of grass take the
place of one bringing the wood and
coal and iron into market; converting
the cotton into plaids and other fabrics
and in giving cordial welcome and
helping hand to all who contemplate
making a home in our midst, is one
which is most inviting to every mar
who loves the State.
Let US all eschew politics for time
turn our faces to the sunrise, and de
vote ourselves to the development o
our material resources.

Nor did we ever see woman waltz

never seen a woman 60 fishing with a

A PRAYER.

Heavenly Father, lead me higher,
Place my feet on solid ground,
With Thy strength, O make me stronger,
Loose the chains by which I'm bound.
Pluck the thOrns from out my pathway,
Lay my weary head to rest
Keep Thine arms about me always,
Graded on Thy loving breast.
When the shadows gather round me,
And the darkness dense and deep,
Send one ray of light upon me,
Mine to have aud mine to keep.
Let this light eer guide my footsteps,
Free from every evil snare
Guide me through life's storms and hard
ships,
Into paths both sweet and fair.
Let the songs that dwell within me,
Ring in melody so sweet,
Thus to ever sOOthe and cheer me,
Though the sun and shadows meet,
Lead my thoughts to gems immortal,
Rest my rect on Thine own stair;
| Till | reach the golden portal,
Heavenly Father, hear my prayer.

All the indications are that the hog
and hominy farmers will be on top
this year. The outlook is for a short
corn crop in several western states,
and when corn is scarce the farmers
cannot afford to feed it plentiful to
hogs. With corn and meat scarce and
high in the west, southern farmers whit
have raised a plenty for their own
use, and with some to sell, will find
themselves in very enviable condition.
