RECORD BREAKING IN BUTTER.
A Remarkable Yield From LeniOl
County Dairy.

The Goldsboro Argns says tha,
Capt. w. l.. Kennedy, of Falling
Creek, one of the most prominent and
affluent farmers in the South, and who
frequently visits Goldsboro to trade, is
said to have Jersey COW from the
daily milk of which 3 Is pounds Of
butter is secured.
This is record breaker and speaks
we'll for the kind Of stock Mr.. Kennedy
raises and the attention paid to them
on the farm. In fact, it is the intel
ligent and watchfll superintendence
that Mr.. Kennedy gives personally to
every branch of his farm that has
brought him such splendid returns
from field and dairy.
A great many of the Journal
readers are familiar with the promi-
nence OF Mr.. Kennedy as farmer and
raiser of fine stock. He is an annual
visitor to the New Berne Fair and
never fails to take off goodly number
of the premiums. He is typical
business man and makes money.
In referring to the record of this
COW the kinston Free Press comments
on the fineness of the record by calling
attention to the fact that the best in
the entire country is twenty-seven
pounds in seven days.-New Berne

REPRESENTATION.
ICharlOtte Democrat.

All of US, even the most conscien-
tious, are disposed to procrastlnate.
We say to ourselves when duty arises
in our pathway: 81 will do SO to-
morrow But alas Tomorrow may
not present the same opportunities, or
may never come at all. We know not
what day may bring forth; "and
thee the all-beholding sun shall see no
more.' Our life is but span at the
longest and liable to be broken be-
fore the three score years and ten have
passed. The drunkard says: 81 will
stop tomorrow" But at night as he
staggers home-such a home as it is
his stupifed mind does not realize tina,
the engine is almost upon him, even
when the engineer gives the warning
whistle, and he is borne to the home
he has ruined and to the faithful wife
who has prayed in vain, a mangled
corpse.
Procrastination He meant to re-
form next day. But next day for him
is one endless night They say the
road to hell is paved with good reso-
lutions. When the last day comes
and we stand before the Judge Of the
Universe, with what bitter lamenta-
tions will we look back upon all that
we meant to do in the future, but failed
to accomplish. Our opportunities
never stay, they are like the swallows
that abide a season and are gone.
They never return in the same way.
A young girl was walking along one
of the principal streets in large city,
when she saw poorly clad girl stand
ing on the pavement. She intended
speaking to her and giving her a
cheering word for she was Kings
Daughter, but seeing some of her
companions approaching, she FASTENED
on. Her opportunity for speaking a
kind word had gone, never to return
again. We do not pass on this road
of life but once, and we cannot turn
back and retrace our footsteps, or ac-
complisf something left undone. We
are tramping, tramping onward and
our hearts are cheating funeral marches
to the grave Then let US work
while we may for the night comes
when mans work is done.
Our cares are but to-day;
Our Joys are all to-day,
And in one little word, our life,
What is it but to-day?

AN ENCOURAGING WORD.

There is no table of weights and
measures whereby may be estimated
the value of an encouraging word.
Applied to the balance of power for
good or evil, it weighs heavily on
the side of the former, and if tossed
into the scales at the proper moment,
it tips the beam on the side OF righ,
human action.
The human ear is nerver insensible
to its vibrations. 1t heralds the
belief that some one has in you and a
whole volley of hope is fired into your
soul round dozen of latent virtues
wake up and salute you and wonder
where you have been to have allowed
them to go on mapping, and after
that springs get into your heels and
ozone into the atmosphere and un-
consciously standard OF excellence
formulates itself in your mind and
good intentions spur you on to scram-
BILE up to it,
An encouraging word is a good
thing to give. Too few of US give them
away, Notwithstanding the fact that it
is only when we give them that they
pay interest. Encouraging words are
regular investment. Try it on
somebody and see. Try it on the
children. 1t is the secret of all
education, because it is an infallible
rule in the education Of the heart,
which is after all the most important
education. Technical education and
heart education should form a COM
bination, and when they do the world
will rest upon the proper foundation
of intelligence
How the methods of the educator
have changed since the present gen.
Grafton was in the primer and regarded
the school teacher as the national
adversary Of everything young and
human! The rod and the insanity of
excessive tasks were the discouragers
of disobedience then the roll Of honor
is the encourager of obedience nova
days. The world is growing daily to
understand the futility of despotic
methods in government. If you have
not thought about this, it is capital
subject for reflection. 1t holds good in
every particular. Why, human nature
starves for the want of encouragement
and appreciation. Wherever you 20
you see faces made black and un-
responsive for the lack of it, as black
and 'unresponsive for the lack Of giving
as of receiving it. What is personal
magnetism, that rarest of gifts? 1t i:
the outward glow of the inner fire o.
genuineness and sympathy.
Encouraging words are the spark:
that crackle and snap from the fire
Any one may become a magnet. Rally
all your generous impulses and dispense
them in the form of encouraging
words. They cannot yield if you loci
them up in your own bosom any more
than money can pay interest it 20,
keep it in your trunk. The worle
is starved for them and they are wortl
all the way from five dollars to fiv'
thousand dollars piece. They ONLY
yield interest when you give then
away. 1t sounds paradoxical, but tr,
it as an investment.

easily carried out their threat.

easily carried OUT tnelr threat.
Captain Wilson and the steward
made the hatchway doubly secure and
returned to find the officers nearly
dead from suffocation, the gags having
been on too tightly. Captain Wilson
removed the gags, revived them
apologized for his desperate measure:
his position forced him to adopt and
left them in separate cabins securel,
bound. He had in one hour re-
captured the EmiIy St. Pierre and
had determined to make another effort
to land her costly cargo on Trenholm
& Frazer's wharf.
After two or three sleepless days
and nights, for it required the constant
labor of Captain Wilson and the
steward to manage the boat and
attend to the fifteen prisoners, they
secured by bribes and threats the
assistance of two of the sailors. After
long and perilous voyage, the Emil
St. Pierre was towed into Trenholm,
& Frazers wharf at Liverpool and
before the cotton was landed, the
liberated prisoners had spread the
news of their marvellous re-capture all
over the city.
A mob shouting {" Rule Britannia
and the Southern Marseillaise'
marched through the streets to welcome
the Emily St. Pierre, which boldly
Haunted the Confederate flag with the
Union Jack. The Liverpool Me,en,y
devoted its first page to the exploit.
Invitations from the English nobility,
begging the bold captain to become
their guest, poured in upon him. The
cotton was sold at enormous profit.
A syndicate of Liverpool merchants
made up purse, and ordered swift
vessel TO be made, which they presented
with their compliments to Captain
Wilson. In this vessel he made one
or two successful trips across the ocean
with cargoes of cotton from Southern
ports, but was captured off Havana,
and was kept prisoner until the close
of the war. He was eventually
liberated but became hopelessly insane
and died in Paris madhouse.
In raving he lived over again and
again the re-capture of the Emily St.
Pitrre and the physicians said that
the strain to which he then subjected
himself upset his mental balance and
induced hopeless insanity. Several
times after the occurrence he would be
persuaded to relate the incidents at
tending the adventures at fashionabl e
dinner parties given him in Charleston,
and England and the recital always
left him in a state Of intense excite
ment.
Besides the vessel presented to him
by the Liverpool merchants, Trenholm,
Frazer & Co., gave him $4,000.
The steward was also handsomely re-
warded

IRON ORES IN NORTH CAROLINA.
Report of the Geological Survey
Where Ore is Found.

The report of the Geological Survey
on the iron ores Of North Carolina is
now ready for distribution. 1t is a
neatly printed and fully illustrated
publication of 239 pages, prepared in
the main by Assistant Geologist H.
&. B. Mite. 1t contains the results OF
the examination of all the more i'm
portant iron ore deposits known to
occur in the State. The total ores ex-
amined amount to 5000 square miles,
distributed through twhenty-three
counties in the central and western
portions of the State.
The ore deposits receiving most
attention are the following First,
the magnetic and specula,or ores OF
Granville county; second, the brown
hemattes of Ore Hill, in Chatham ;
| third, the magnetic ore OF Stokes,
Surry and Yadkin counties fourth,
the magnetic and brown hema.te
ores of Catawba, Lincoln and CASTOR
counties; fifth, magnetic ores Of Ashe,
Mitchell and Madison counties sixth,
brown hematlte ores of western
Madison and Cherokee counties. Ex-
tenslve deposits Of iron ore are de-
scribed in each OF these and in other
less extensive areas.
Concerning the general develop
ment of our mineral properties the
report says; "Before the war the
Southern people were engrossed not
SO much with manufacture of pig iron
when they could get it elsewhere, as
with the cultivation of cotton, tobacco,
i etc, to which both soil and labor were
naturally adapted. After the war a
period of reconstruction set in 10 day
the country is again on firm basis
and the people are locking to the
development, OF their mineral and
manufacturing resources.
/ The report is said by competent
critics 20 be one of great value, and
one which reflects credit, on the survey
and on the State. Ii Is accompanied
by an excellent map which shows the
location OF all the important iron ore
beds OF the Safe. Persons desiring
copies of the report can obtain them
free of charge by applying TO The State
Grologis, at Raleigh. enclosing Ic
cents for postage.

careful not to encourage this centrali

zation.
In the postoffice there is much
tender solicitude to serve the city
patron. A carrier brings his mail be-
fore breakfast and keeps up his kind
visits all through the day. But the
farmer, who at bottom pays for at least
half OF this luxury, can plod through
slush and snow in winter, heat and
duS, in summer for one, three. five, ten,
twenty miles TO get his mail. There
is some need for an energetic whole
sale merchant to receive his letters
three or four times day, but no one
can satisfactorily explain why deliv-
cries should be made oftener than once
a day in the resident portions of a
large city. The average friendly
letter is very airy affair, and it is
safe to say that not more than one in
a million Of them grows stale by being
day older. If a country family can
wal, not one day only, bul one week,
or one month for such gassamy moth
ings, surely city family ought TO be
satisfied with one daily mail The
money thus saved could be spared for
better advantages in the farming dis
trlCtS.
If farmer wants a book he must
pay postage at the rate Of s cents a
pound. On cheap paper-bound vol
umes this is very serious additional
percentage. But people in cities have
the bookstore and can buy without a
cent OF postage. Efforts have been
made to reduce the postage, but the
express lobbies have always been strong
enough to head off the farmer. For
millions of these farmers the only
higher education they can get is to
read good literature. literature is a
university itself. Public schools are
free and the mails ought TO be as near
free as possible.
The farmer has absolutely no safe
means of sending money through the
mails. At his little neighborhood
postoftice he can get no money order.
He must trust his money to regis
tered letter, and if this is lost the
postal officials complacently try to
trace the loss, but very seldom or ever
do. But in cities man can obtain
money order and be guaranteed
against even a shadow of loss
But the evil of evils for the farmer
is the railroad. 1t was against this
enemy that he first organized, and
this is the most vulnerable point of
assault to-day. The farmer is tied to
one spot and sells all his crops at one
season. He is bound hand and foo,
and cat into the hons den of shift my
railway rates. Competition in rates
for him i, malodorous failure The
grangers made the first move for break
ing up the feudalistic regime of trans
portation bossism. The keynote sound
ed then has furnished the strain TO the
present. The farmers only salvation
is in government ownership or strict
government supervision. The railroads
came from the government and they
can be controlled by the government.
The farmers movement has been
sneered at and abused as socalstic
and anarchistiC. But the farmer is
neither socialist nor an anarchist.
He is of all men the conservative
member of society. He does not ask
for equality Of distribution, but he
does ask for equity of treatment. He
docs not want revolution, but he does
want reform. &. MERIwETHER.

EASTER BELLS.

Easter bells are ringing clear,
Winters gone and spring is here
Each ones voice welcome sings
10 the season Easter brings:
Ring, bells, ring
See the spring.
Easter bells are ringing loud,
Children press in joyous crowd
Flowers and birds with childish lay
Join to hail glad Easter Day
Loud and clear,
Casters here.
Easter bells are ringing low,
Sweeter yet their measures flow,
Telling of love that rhymes
Softly with the Easter chimes
Low, but clear,
Casters here

Tuesday last was pleasant day and
the sleighing between DeLamar and
Jordan Valley was never better, which.
coupled with the assurance of most
cordial welcome and enjoyable time, in
duced about thirty of the very best
people of our town to attend the ball
given at the latter place on the evening
of that day. Four horses and q long
sleigh conveyed six couples in good old
fashioned style-lots OF hay in the
sleigh bed, with wraps and robes ga
lore. The balance went in, perhaps,
more pretentious conveyances, but, it is
safe bet, bad no more jolly ride. Ar
rived in Jordan Valley all received q
pleasant greeting from the proprietress
of the hotel, Mrs. Williams, and the
manager, big-hearted "Big Nick.". At
9 O'Clock Prof Suckers orchestra-6rst
and second violins, bass viol, guitar and
|organ-strnck up music that would have
made corpse dance, and every body
thought they were having good time
until supper was announced when they
found they had only just begun to en-
joy themselves for that supper was ele-
CANT. After eating, with considerable
effort, the dancers made their way back
to the hall and took healthful exercise
until day dawned, when the DeLsmar
people started for home, tired but hap
py, and all agreeing that for hospitality
the Jordan Valley people could not be
surpassed and that, with fne weather
and roads, they would like to visit them
every week. The ladies from De Lamar
who attended, and are glad Of it, were
the Misses Maud and Edna Bachelor,
Eliza Moore, Grace Mills, Nettis Lof-
gren and Ella Tolmie; Mesdames Nc
Kay, Mitten, Jenkins and Blacker.
