ratio does the necessity for a cOOl-head-

a false leader, to have false friend, to
have pretended safeguard, is worse
than to have none at all. A newspa-

self (unless it be money! nothing to Its
readers, nothing to the common good.
We advise every man who can estab-
lish any reasonable ground for suspect
ing the editor of paper he taxes to be
a liar or to be capable of deceiving the
people, conceallng that which ought
to be told, or disappearing facts with
a motive, OR for an inducement or be-
cause of prejudice, to quit reading the
paper then and there. No such paper
has room in a home, nor on earth.

our town last week He came down to
spend a few days with his brother, Mr..
W. H. Randolph.
There seems to be a difference Of
opinion as to the cotton crop around
here. Mr.. j. T. Howell says his crop
is doing we'll, while others report it as
shedding badly. The peanut crop is
reported very short by all. not more
than half a crop expected
Maj. Mc1ver has built a model road
from the State farm to this place, over
which they do most of their hauling.
We need just such roads all oyer our
county, which could be had in less than
three years if the road law was properly
carried out.
The n. G. Lumber Co. shut down
last Monday to make some changes in
their plant, which however, will only
take day or two. They have cut a
wide canal in the middle of their log
bed and will float the logs to the chute.
instead OF using the long chain as here
tofore. They propose to supply water

informed by one of the operatives.

Mr.. Dennis Simmons of Williamson

Mr.. Dennis Simmons of Williamson
has recently spent a few weeks in Can
ada. We met him on the cars from
Norfolk Friday and he gave an interest
ing account of the city of Toronto.
He says the city is twelve miles long
and two miles wide Frequently one
sees a 2-acre lot for a residence right
in the heart of the city. Many persons
have their orchards in their city lots.
Mr. Simmons said that there is as
much fruit in the city of Toronto as
there is in the whole OF Martin county.
He was struck by the familiar
names he found in Toronto. He
observed that he found name IN To
rontO for every man in Williamson
except his own, and they told him
there are SlmmOnses IN Toronto.

The White House Babies.

OF the three children of President and
Mrs. Cleveland, baby Esther has the
distinction of being a White House
baby, an honor which she shares with
only two living personages-Mrs. Mary
Emily DonelsOn Wilcox, grand niece OF
President Jackson, and Miss Julia
Dent Grant nd-daughter of Presi-
dent Grant Mrs Wilcox was born in
Che White House and has for some years
resided in Washington. Her father,
Andrew Donelson, was nephew and
also private secl etary of President jack
son, and the couple made their home at
the White House, where several chill
dren were born to them, of whom only
Mrs. Wilcox, a charming lady and a
delightful conversationalist, survives.
Mrs. Wilcox has daughter, Miss Mary
Wilcox, who is clerk in the treasury.
A granddaughter to President Tyler,
the child of Robert Tyler and his wife,
Elizabeth Cooper Tyler, was White
House baby in 1912, and year later a
son, Robert, was born to Mary Tyler
Jones, eldest daughter of the presi-
dent Her husband was Henry Light
loot Jones, of North Carolina. Robert
Tyler Jones went through life rather
meumbered than helped by the fact of
MS notable birth. He died recently

TEMPERANCE ITEMS.
Furnished by the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union.

One of the saloonkeepers Of Kenosha
is reported to have said that the Sal
walton army is injuring their business.
1t is stated that the cigarette is re-
sponsible for nearly two-thirds of the
rejected applicants at West Point and
Annapolis.
Sir W. t. Charley says that statistics
prove that 20 per cent. of the insane
people in England comes to this condi-
ton from that of habitual drunkenness.
According to the annual statement
Of Sir William Harcourt, Chancellor of
the EXchequer, England, the consump-
ton of rum greatly. increased during
epidemic la grippe. For the first three
quarters of the year ending December
81, 1894, there was no increase in the
revenue from imported spirits, not
withstanding an extra tax of six pence;
but in February, the month of influenza
and severe frosts, the receipts from the
sale of rum alone rose to 100000.
From the same reliable source comes
the report that brandy is falling into
disfavor. In fifteen years the quantity
used has fallen off 100000 gallons or
20 per cent, though the population
has increased Is per cent. in the same
time.

What Shall the Issue Be?

Republicans and democrats will soon
Begin to ask themselves what is to be
the leading issue in 1896? That ques-
tiOn if asked month or two ago would
have received a prompt and decisive
answer, and the answer would be, Sill
yer. But the question is not SO easy
how. Silver is dropping out of sight as
disturbing factor. People are either
forgetting all about it, OF are wonder
ing why they were SO excited about it a
few weeks ago The places that knew
the silver issue once will know it no
more forever. At least they will know
1T no more unless some sort Of a bust
mess cOnvulsion comes to propagate an
other wave of popular insanity and to
give the mountebanks the ear of the
country again.
But parties in presidential years must
talk about something, and if no issue
frames itself spontaneously one will
have to be framed by the party mana
gers. The personality of the candi-
dates can hardly be a sufficient issue
unless in an invidious sense, as in 1884,
when both nominees were indecently
assailed on personal grounds. The in
deeency, however, was not quite SO
fragrant in 1884 as it was in some ear.
Her campaigns. Neither Blaine nor
Cleveland was called so many hard
names as was Lincoln, Van Buren,,
Jackson, the two Adamses or Jefferson.
But the 1884 mark of scurrility is not
hkely to be reached again in the near
future. There has been decided i'm
proyement in this respect over the ear
Ber conditions, and the improvement
will undoubtedly stick.
Aside from silver the tariff is the only
opposition that has been thought of as a
possible issue, and this may be brought
to the front. AS everybody knows,
bowever, that tariff tinkering disturbs
trade, and as trade has had surfelt OF
disturbance in the past two years, the
republicans will be backward about re-
opening this question next year. Prob
ably the question will figure to some
extent in the canvass. 1t will certainly
Squire if the Governments income re-
mains short of it's outgO. The bond
selling device will not be continued
under republican sway whatever else
happens. If the revenue continues be-
low the expenditures the republicans
viii increase them, and, of course, the
greater part of such increase would
have to come from the custom house.
But in any event a tariff contest of the
intensity and picturesqueness known in
some former years need not be looked
for in 1896.
