ALL HAIL DEFENDER.

spreader aud the springing OF
her top1nast.
On Wednesday afternoon the
Regatta Committee of the \. Y.
Y. c., rendered their decision
sustaining Mr.. Iselin's protest
against Valkyrie and awarding
Tuesdays race to Defender.
THIRD RACE.
Yesturday the yachts came tc
time promptly for the third race
of the series. The wind, which
was blowing at a htteen-mile
gait, gave promise of excellent
yachting, but after crossing the
starting line Valkyrie hoisted
protest flag, put about and re-
turned to the Judges boat
claiming to have been fouled by
the excursion crafts. Defender
finished the course and was de
declared the winner, subject tc
the action Of the Judges on Val,
kyrie's protest.
The opinion is that the race
will have to be re-sailed.
1t is estimated by the syndi>
cate owners Of Defender, C
Oliver Iselin, Ed Morgan and
w. K. Vanderbilt, that their ex-
penses i'll connection with the
present series for the Americas
Cup will amount to not less thar
$4,000.
Hardly less than this amount
will be spent by Lord Dunraver
in the same good cause, and it i:
impossible to estimate what i
costs the $4,000 people who util
lied the steamers i'll viewing the
contest.

1SSG-1S95.

tomorrow, Septe1n Der l4tn,
nine years ago, the FISHERMAN
& FARMER was born-CommcnC-
ing under circumstances far less
Aattering than those which
mark the advent of others upon
the surface of business life. Sur
rounded with sea-mews which in
Dictated storm unfavOrable and
lowering crows which threaten
ed disaster 10 the seed-tine of its
existence, it cast its net and
scattered its seed needless of all
gloomy forebodingsand undaunt-
cd by all seeming Contrarlet1es.
For nine long years it has pur-
sued the course it originally
marked out and, to-day, it stands
rs among the continuing exist
cnces identified with the business
concerns at least of our own
place and people. The success
which has marked its course is
due to a liberal people and a
generous exchange, for which it
hopes to demonstrate its appre-
citation by its future adhearance
to truth and right reason i'll all
its dealings with men and things.
With a mind and inclination to
do and be right we shall fail not
if we continue i'll the favor of a
generous people, and in the es-
teen of liberal contemporaries
who have given us the benefit of
free exchange and furnished us
with wise and liberal counsel.
We have struggled hard to
make the FISHERMAN & FARMER
what it HOW is, having had sew
cral severe blows and set-backs,
the hardest of which was the
fire Of '03, which destroyed
everything III our Office except a
Job Press, without cent of i'll
suranCe. But, with the many
discouragements that have COIL
frontcd us, we have allowed our
selves not to be over-ridden by
them but have with courage,
hard work and strong deternina-
ton pushed onward and forward
Now, with a continuation of
your good wishes and fair share
of your patronage, also with
prompt payments of those who
owe us, (or there are many, } We
promise to spare no pains in
making our paper i'll future all
that its most ardent friends have
wished for it.

A characteristic of the ordi>
nary GROWER is that it causes
the mouth to open, while the ca>
la1nity bowler not only keeps his
open but his tongue continues to
wag for fusion in North Carolina.
Of course the Democrats, as US
ual, are as dumb as an oyster
while the campaign of education
and spoils is going on in the
State.

Papers say Carlisle should not
be the Democratic nominee next
year for President because he
was not with the South in the
war. A better reason, says DR..
Kingsbury, and there is no use
to blink the truth, is that he has
repudiated the Democratic plat
form of 1892, and has turned his
back upon his votes and speech~
es and record. That is true if
anything is true.

A Well Dressed Wife.

A man loves to see his wife
well-dressed. When she goes
about in tatters, with big shoes,
untidy skirts, soiled collar, and
a halo of curl papers, if he
doesn't swear he thinks it. l
do not believe in the economy o.
home toilers, says a writer in a
ladies paper. I never take a
dress that is done for and wear
it in the house.
Another item about which |
am careful is my hair, which l
try to have as near the poets
conception of fragrant tresses
as possible. Then I have whole
lot Of little odds and ends in
principles, such as always trying
to be neat, keeping my hands
soft and cool, my teeth in good
order, and I make my doctor
prescribe a sweet breath. l only
tell you this, good wives, to give
you all ideas of the care required
to keep a man in love with you
Not that looks are everything
but they are a good deal.
Men love to preach down ex-
travagance, style, and dress, but
the woman who curls her hair
powders the shine of her face
who likes and has pretty gloves
and stockings, nice slippers, per
fumes, balm, cold cream, ant
fancy notions to increase he1
charms, is the woman who is ad
mired everytime. These long
lean, lank, common sense women
may CAD about with their ugli>
ness and cheap simplicity, but
the procession of men who fol
low is not long one.
The Greenville Reflector truth
fully says:
Men who are all the time try
ing to get out of business or on
of town will never build up eth
er. One Of the two things mus
be done-run the town for wha
it is worth, get up steam anC
keep it up, Or quit the whol
thing, slide out and let mature
take its course. Do you wan
trade =? Bid for it. Do you wan
business to come to your town
Encourage those who do come
Do you want prosperous town
where people can come who ar
disposed to make homes? The1
do away with, bury from sight
all spite work; work no more 70
a few individuals, but all Worl
together for common prosper
! itv and mutual benefit. Wax
up, rub your eyes, roll up you
sleeves and go to work. Don
work with fear and trem bling
but take it for granted that bloo(
will tell. Leave results will
themselves; borrow 10 trouble
but all unite and make it thu
biggest kind Of a city.

THE P PISTOL HABIT.

It is impossible to read the
newspapers without coming to
the conclusion that the pistol
habit is almost an epidemic iii
the country.
It is confined to no section,
race, nationality or class. On
the same day that we read OF a
pistol murder in Tennessee, New
York comes to the front with the
murder of one brother by anoth-
er and the murder of a wife by
her husband, all the work of the
pistol.
We hear of the pistol every
where. The manufacturers and
the dealers must be coming
money. It must be the biggest
industry in the country.
Pistols in the court room, piss
tolls III the jury room, pistols IN
church, pistols indoor and out
in the bar-roon and in my lady s
boudoir-p;stols, pistols every
where
No wonder We have murders
How can a man tote pistol dur
ing a bow, WOW weather without
using it when his fevered brain
reels under the malign influence
of the dog starr
But it is said that bad men
defy the law and carry the pistols
and thus make it necessary fol
good citizens to arm themselves
This is mistake. All that is
necessary is to enforce the law
and enforce it quickly and with
crushing severity. If the police
men and detectives would be
half as alert about this one thing
as they are about some very I'M
important matters, they Woulc
have regiments of pistol toter:
before the courts.
We are not talking about any
one locality. We are striking a
a national crime. The hip poke
pistol murders more people il
this country every year than per
lsh in the average Central Am er
lean or Cuban revolution. In thu
majority of cases good men art
the victims. Under our presen
lax system every citizen when h'
goes down town in the morning
is at the mercy of some eXcltablt
fellow who loses his head on &C
count of Weather or some i1nagi
nary grievance.
Even when the pistol tote1
does not make targets of his fel
low citizen there is danger
Many man commits suicide be
cause he has pistol. 1t he haC
been unarmed he would have
recovered from his depression
and life would again had charms
for him. The pistol habit is {
bad one from every point Of
view, and the courts, the press
the pulpit and public opinion
should combine together anc
smash ATLANTA Constitution.
