Chatham County Coal.

There are now two coal mines in
operation in Chatham county, one at
the " Gulf which has been operated
for some time, though temporarily
suspended recently, and another which
has been lately opened some distance
above. on Deep River, where a large
force of miners are at work in opening
up anthracite mine which was
worked on small scale during the
war. The operators of this are Phila-
delphla men, who are confident that
they have good thing in it. The
shafts sunk develop the fact that there
is good supply of it, how much no
one can tell for there has been but
little effort made to follow or sound
the veins, but the fact that it is pro-
nounced the finest coal that has yet
been struck in the State and will
probably stimulate exploration. We
have but very vague conception Of
the coal resources OF this State because
there has been but little systematic
effort made to explore the fields and
determine their extent. There has
been some work done on this line in
the Dan Valley coal field within the
past five or SIX years, but there are
coal deposits on the banks of the Dan
river about the extent of which very
little is known, where the coal is of a
semi-anthracite quality similar to this
which in found on Deep river. Will

Democratic Pledges Redeemed

The Democratic party is steadily,
lndustriously and steadtastly carrying
out its pledges. The platform adopted
at the Chicago Convention Of the
Democrats pledged itself to repeal the
cowardly make-shift known as the
Sherman act. That has been done.
1t pledged itself to take off the statute
books all the Civil War legislation
force bill aud Federal election laws.
That has been done.
1t pledged the Democracy to smash
the Mckinley bill and enact the reve-
nue. tariff; to make the rich and luxu-
rlous bear the chief bureens of Il taxa
ton and relieve, as far as possible, the
necessaries of the poor from taxation
The House of Representative has put
this pledge into force and the Demo-
cratic majority Of the Senate will make
1t law within month Or six weeks.
The Chicago platform TOO, pledged the
people that the expenses of govern
ment would be reduced and economy
established in every branch of the gov
ernmental machine. This, too, is be-
ing carried out.-St. Louis Republic.

A Kiss Parsed Corretcly,

\ young lady was asked to parse a
kiss, and after repeated efforts did so
correctly as follows: kiss" is a
conjunction because it connects. It's
4 verb because it signifies to act and
to be acted upon. It's proposition
because it shows that the person kissed
is no relation. 1t is an interiection
tat least it sounds like one) and is a
pronOun, because it stands for noun.
1t is also noun, because it is the
name of osculatory action-both COM
mon and proper, second person. plural
number, because there are ALWAYS more
than one. In gender it is masculine
and feminine mixed. Frequently the
case is governed by circumstances and
light, according to rule one: IF he
smite you on one cheek. turn the other
also" 1t should always begin with a
capital letter, be often repeated and
continued as long rs possible, and
ended with period Kiss might be
conjaguated but it should never be
declined

SOME DAY, SOME HOW.

"Some day, some how :" the hour is dead
When looked into loving eyes,
And kissed the whispering lips that said
These words to me. And if the ties
Then made are broken if the breast
Then warm with fires arc pulseless Row,
| still will think that God knows best.
And that we i meet some day, some how.
Until that time | still will know
That wheresoe'e In heavenly care,
That pure and radiant soul may 60,
My thoughts will follow. Everywhere
I'll hear that voice, so low and sweet,
Just as | seem to hear it now:
I'll hear the fall Of fairy feet,
I'll hear the words, ''sOme day, some
how
Upon the mantelpiece l see
The picture Of fair, sweet face,
And though the lips are sealed, to me
They speak with more than tender grace.
| question not the mystic spell
But bark How clear the accents now
IT'S not the language of farewell
IT'S trusting loves " some day, some

And SO, fondly hope twill be,
Not now, but some time after life

Dawns OH the soul. The toll and STRIFE

A HON emafe Dress.

A green serge dress, which had done gooc
service for two years, was recently washed
in clear water, to which five cents worth
of soap bark was added. After being gent
ly rubbed-not on a board, but by hands
it was rinsed in water in which littl'
alum was dissolved-a piece the size of /
hickory nut to IL pail of water. The cloti
was hung on Il line to drain, and before i
was quite dry it was ironed on the wrong
side. This was Il perfect success, being 81
thoroughly cleaned without fading. New
CLOTH which was to make sleeves was ais,
dipped into both waters and then wa
ironed and the dress is now almost as goot
as new. The water was neither hot no
cold, but just comfortable to the hands.

What Home Is.

A London paper offered prize for
the best defiEition of home. About
five thousand answers were given.
Some of the best were the following
The blossom of which Heaven is the
fruit.
A world of strife shut out, world
Of love shut in.
Where you are treated best and
grumble most.
The fathers kingdom, the children S
paradise, the mothers world.
The best place for married man
after business hours are over.
The place where the great are
sometimes small and the small often
great.
The jewel casket containing the
most precious of all jewels-domeStic
happiness.
The contest, kindest, sweetest place
in all the world, the essence Of our
purest earthly joys and deepest
sorrows.
The only spot on earth where the
faults and failings of fallen humanity
are hidden under the mantle of
charity.
\ little hollow scoped out Of the
windy hill of the world where we can
be shielded from its cares and annoy
anCes.
A hive in which, like the indus
triols bee, youth gamers the sweets
and memories of life for age to mediate
and feed upon.
An abode in which the inmate, the
" superior being called man." can
pay back at night, with fifty per cent.
interest, every annoyance that has
met him in business during the day.
That source of comfort which youth
does not fully appreciate, which the
young man and madens lovingly
desire, which the middle aged generally
possess, which the old rightly value.

Ransom Losing Ground.

That Senator Ransom is rapidly los

a doubt, and the idea that is being
promulgated that the delay in confirm
ing Simmons is hurting him is not
doing either Of these distinguished

the contrary, we have noticed in some
Of our eastern exchanges that if the
fortunes Of Senator Ransom are
involved in Simmons confirmation
many Democrats declare that they
have lost all interest in it. So the

Most all horsemen who handle trotters
or road horses know that an extra bit or
contrivance of some kind attached to
the overdraw check is necessary to give
a proper set to the bride, il not a perfect
control Of the horse. With many horses
an extra bit attached to the check is
punishment to a more orless extent, and
but very few horses are easy under the
restraint. The Humane Bit company,
375 Market street, New Jersey, have pat
ented a most admirable check attach
ment for t@rotters and road horses, and
one that not only places the horse under
the most perfect control but it is worn
with comfort and ease. By it the ami
NAL is checked from the chin and guard
attachments prevent the most sensitive
mouth from becoming sore. The attach
ment can be placed OF any style of bride
and bit in half a minute, and it is with.
out question the most practical and hu'
name check arrangement ever invented.
One thing that tells greatly in its tavo1
is that every worlds record las beer
broken with the humane bits and attach
ments made by this company. Thei,
bits and contrivances are especial,
adapted for colts and tender mouthe,
horses. H0rsemen who are looking 70
perfect bits and improved check attach
ments should write the Humane Bi
company for circulars, testimonials an
prices.

strange if Jewell doesn't succeed in
m%onkeying around long enough to be
there when it comes and claim it as being
his very own, According to his talk he

The Chamberlain boys say they can't
play ball when the wind blows. Blamed
if we don't believe it. But whether the
boys had reference to Will Bowlcs'
mouth or the zephyrs that came from
the prairies we are unable to say. Any
how, a combination of the two, Wednes-
day, together with some striking fea-
lures made the little town down on the
river 2roan. AS Tom Stevens expressed
it, chamberlain never could beat Kim
BAH playing ball and 1 guess it never
can"
A defeat o 3S to Is looks that way.
A nastier day to play a ball game
couldn't be imagined. A strong gale
from tho southwest, drivi ng clouds of
dust. was intensely disagreeable to play
ers and spectators alike, and made the
pitchers work doubly hard.
The opening inning. in which the
Kimball nine failed to get a man on
to first base through clever fielding, bore
evidence of q close and pretty game.
But fine playing by both mines ended
there, save in the good work done by
Brown and Bowles as pitcher and catch
er in the closing innings. The Chamber,
lain boys succeeded, through numerous
errors, in getting in five scores for their
half of the first, and Chamberlain base
ball stock went up a hundred per cent.
Then the Kimball boys went at 'em ham
mer and tOngs. They smashed the ball
right and left and so completely demora-
LIKED the west end lads that they never
got over it. When the third man was
out the boys had heaped up eleven scores
two were home runs by good clean
hits by Chosen and John Purcell. Bad
work in the inteld helped u boys con-
siderable in this half inning, The last
half Of the inning was another surprise
party. Partly by good batting and
largely by errors the Chamberlain boys
got in eight scores. This left the game IL
to II in Chamberlain's favor. Still hats
Of 2 to / were freely offered on Kimball
with no takers. Our boys piled up foul
more scores in the next inning, and then
Brown went in to pitch and Bowlas be
hind :ks bat. That settled things, and
it should have been the position of the
players from the start to finish. The
visitors were utterly unable to hit Brown
and he WAS ably supported by Bowles
behind the plate. Chamberlain only got
two more scores in the next sever
innings-a total of 10, while Kimball
found Jack Kyle easy work. and put VI
a total Of 3S.
What Chamberlain needs is a pitcher
and one that is clever, effective and Cal
keep up the necessary pace. Then the.
can put up a stiff game. The game as /
whole was a very poor exhibition-al
though after Brown was put in to pitcl
the Kimball nine played as pretty gam,
as could be asked for. 1t was too mast,
a day for a good game, anyway.
The game was umpired by Edito
B%urkho!der, and his utmost fairness t
the home club must have made some O
our boys feel a little cheap in view o
their persisting in having a second um
pire. The two umpire business is al
bosh. None of the league or association
mines have but one umpire--and tn
place for that umpire is behind the ba
at least so says Harry Wright-an'
what he doesn't know about pase bal
isn't worth knowing.
