SOME explain that the coming
woman was so long in arriving
because Of her waiting to adjust
her hat.
THE attendance at Superior
Court still continues quite large,
but only petty cases have been
thus far disposed of.
THE wages of labor are par
taking of the general Easter
awakening. Mine operators in
the central States and factory
owners of New England are vol
UNFAIRLY advancing the pay of
their employees.
OUR esteemed townsman Mr..
w. H. Smith has been appointed
by Governor Carr a director of
the State penitentary. This is
an excellent selection and Mr..
Smith will prove an energetic
and valuable member of the
board.
THE Easter services in St.
Stephens Episcopal church in
this city on Sunday morning
were particularly impressive,
and the floral decorations were
beautiful indeed. A large con-
gregation was in attendance and
the sermon of the Rector, Rev.
Stewart Mcqueen, was an able,
eloquent and impressive dis
course.
THE evenings are beautiful
and delightful for driving now,
as is always the case at Easter
time, the great festival Of re
turning life. The world is like
on opal, full of changeable lights,
and the pink of the peach-bloS-
som and white of the plumb
softens the whole landscape.
The air is balmy and sweet scent
ed, and the whole earth seems
throbbing with beautiful new
emotion.
THE death of little Doris, the
14-month-old daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. John Eason, occurred
at their home in this city, Mon
day afternoon at 4 o'clock. The
bereaved and sorrowing young
parents have the inexpressible
sympathy of their hosts offriends
in their sad visitation. Suffer
little children to come unto Me
and forbid them not, for of such
is the kingdom of Heaven" The
funeral will take place from the
home this morning at 10 o'clock.
IT is estimated that the South
spends annually the sum Of 500,
900, 900 for products, horses and
mules, which could be raised
with greater protitin that section
than elsewhere. The bulk of the
vast sum goes to the West to pay
for grain and meats. Before the
war the South raised it's own corn
and provisions and an agitation
has been started to return to that
custom. If less cotton were pro-
duced and more acreage vas de-
voted to other crops, the finances
of the Southern farmers would
be in better shape at the end OF
a season.
In the Charlotte Observer of
Wednesday we find the following
handsome compliment that
speaks for itself: Permit an
cid practitioner at the bar to
speak a kindly and pleasant word
for Judge Robinson, who has
just presided at the term OF Lin
coin Superior Court. The Judge
won the affection Of the bar by
his genial disposition and afable
manners, having all the warmth
and. enthusiasm of a genuine
Irishman. He is frank and fall
and firm in all his rulings, AND
is a sound and sensible lawyer.
The State has gained a gooo
Judge in his elevation to the
bench"
WI are in receipt of an exten
sive "card" from George T. Was
som in which he denies the abso
lutte and positive evidence of the
eye witnesses reported in yester
days ARGUS, and reiterates thu
charges already brought for
ward by himself and famil,
against some of the very bes
people Of the community as be
ing in league and conspiracy t
destroy his residence and driv'
him from the neighborhood. Tn
card is too lengthy for publica
ton and too sweeping for eve
the federation of this community
which is the most tolerant, W
are impressed, in the world. LIE
their liberation be not broken un
der this ordeal-exasperating a
it is. If the Wassoms desire t
continue the assault upon thei
residence let them go il. He o
they will hardly do themselve
personal violence; and as to news
paper notoriety they will get n
more of it in these columns. w
counsel our people to be patien
to be tolerant. In this tim
of our progress as a city and GU
hopefulness for the future-an
with the best of good feeling an
confidence among the races, let u
not permit the efforts of the Was
SONS, whose motive we canne
divine, mar that in which we a
take so much pride.
