A DREAM.

One of our citizens recently dreamed that he was visiting during the winter. Slowtown, as you all know, is the town where sidewalks and village slow-plow are unknown, where the peo- pie wallow through the snow in the road until it is tramped down hard and smooth and travelling becomes good. The citizsn dreamed that he arrived at the hotel in Slowtown about a week af- ter big snow storm. The snow had been tramped down until the travelling was good. The next morning he walked three miles to visit an old acquaintance and spend the day with him. On re- turning during the evening our citizen discovered that during the day some self-considered wise men had attempted to improve the walking and sleighing by driving harrow over the road and thus pulverIzing the trodden snow and making it as soft and slumpy as on the morning after the big snow storm. Our citizen dreamed that he was compelled to wallow through the narrowed snow until he was almost exhausted, and he cried out. "this style of road making makes me wearyr'
 In the midst of his struggles our citi- zen awoke, and while meditating on what caused his peculiar dream he re- membered that on the previous day he had driven over Canaan roads, and that after retiring for the night he had fal- len asleep while trying 10 decide wheth- CT road machine itself is 8 nuisance or whether some people exercise good judgment as to when. where and how to use road machine.

 Reuben Fl. Smith, the new editor of the Religious Herald, was in Canaan last Thursday.

NORTH CARoLIN's BIG VOTE.

The predictions for a full vote in North
Carolina this year were fulfilled. The
excess Of the vote heretofore polled was
In the neighborhood OF $4,000, the total
vote for electors receiving in round num-
bcrs 800, 900, of which the Bryan cleo
tors received about 174,000, and the Me
Kinley electors about $4,000, majority
Of 1926 for Bryan.
In 1892 the total vote was 280,665, Of
which Cleveland received 132,951; Har-
rison, 10o,342; ard Weaver, 44,736, with
2,636 scattering.
In 1883 the vote was larger by 5000
than it was in 1892. In that year it
stood. Cleveland, 147,902; Harrison,
1874, 784; and 2,787 scattering.
These figures show that the great deeps
were stirred as never before, and that the
fullest vote on record was polled. They
show that in spite of the Importation Of
at least 5000 illegal negro voters, the
casting OF at least the same number of
votes by negro boys and convicts these
are low estimates); the expenditure Of
more than 100000 as corruption fund

4 ToBAcoo-PACKING MACHINE.

An illustration Of the progress made in
mechanical devices is afforded by the new
packing and labelling machine on exhibi.
ton at the shops of Murrell & Keller, 300
North Holiday street. 1t receives t..
bacco in graduated form through its feel
tubes, weighs the tobacco automatically
and accurately, packs it into bags, at
fixes the necessary revenue stamp and
trade labels and turns out the finished
packages at rapid rate. In the whole
process the assistance OF only two per-
sons is required, one to place the bags
over the tubes, and the other to tie the
strings. One Of the machines. it is said,
will perform the work or eleven persons.
The machines are constructed for one of
the largest Southern tobacco factories,
but they may be used for packing almost
any article The invention was patented
by Mr.. Rufus l.. Patterson, formerly of
North Carolina, but now Of Baltimore
and has been assigned to the Automatic
Packing and Labelling Company OF
Durham, n Baltimore Sun.

DU POINT REVIEWS CONTEST.
EEHNE FE ~~- 'eT
Papers Being Prepared on a Technically
That Was Overlooked.

Wilmington, Del. Nov 16.-The near
approach of the opening OF the second SEES
sion of Congress has given rise TO re-
port here that Col. Henry A. Du Ponr
will renew his contest for seat in the
Senate as representative Of Delaware. In
an interview to-day one of the gentlemen
who figured prominently in Col Du
Points contest before the Senate commit
tee last winter, said: Col Du Pont will
certainly renew his contest The papers
arc now in course Of preparation, and
his friends will be ready to renew their
gallant fight for him the moment Congress
convenes.'
Col. Du pont viii make his new fight
on Il technicality overlooked by the Sen
ate committee last spring The announce
ment that the Du POnt case would be
brought up again has impaired a new
and interesting phase to the Senatorial
situation here. The Democrats are now
in the throes of contest as to who shall
be the choice for Senator of the Demo
cratic Legislature on January IA. j. Ed
ward Addicks, the Republican leader, is
now pushing a contest of n seat of six
teen legislators in Kent and Sussex on
the ground of fraud. He expects a de
cision on Thursday, and if it is against
him he threatens to spring a rump Legis-
lature. There is little doubt that the
court viii decide against him. and in
view Of all these conditions Col Du
Points friends are confident that the
Senate win avoid any further complica-
ton in the Delaware Senatorial matter
by seating Du Pont.

THE LAW "a ASS"

Mr.. Charles w. Tillett recalls an Incl
dent that is always employed by the
laity with delight when the decisions o.
the courts and the opinions of the lega
fraternity do not accord with their idef
of justice We quote:
''In his masterful efforts to reform
abuses OF various kinds in England,
Charles Dickens did not overlook the
law and the administration Of justice.
One OF the happiest hits made by
him is in "0liver Twist" where Mr..
Bundle, being called upon to respond
for wrong committed by his wife,
protested that he was not responsible
for the acts of his wife, but he was in-
formed that by the law of England
man WAS presumed to have con-
troll Of his wife, and that her acts
were under his direction. Where
upon Mr.. Bundle said solemnly and
emphatically: IF the law supposes
that, the law is a ass, idiot. If this
is the eye OF the law, the laws a
bachelor, and the worst | wish the
law is that his eye may be opened by
experience-by experience :"

THE GRANGE WANTS PROTEC
TION.

At g meeting of the National Grange
in session at Washington last week, reso-
buttons were adopted demanding boun-
ties on agricultural products as the only
method of reviving industry on the farms
If the system of giving indirect bounties
to manufacturers, direct bounties to
steamers carrying mails and to regular
planters, and special privileges amount
ing to bounties to big bankers is to be
continued, the farmers Ought to demand
that Mr. Mckinley bring them in too.
He will want to put them off with tariff
duties, which never did them any good,
because farmers export, but they ought
not to be thus put aside with the shucks
while the trusts and the others get the
corn.
1t is true that bounties are contrary to
the spirit of our government undemo-
cratic and paternal. But they are not
more so to farmers than to manufactur-
ers. And if farmers are to get bounty
of two cents pound on cotton, mechan-
les ought to get proportionate bounty
on everything they manufacture with
their hands, on the houses they build, and
the other products of their labor and
skill.
BY all means, if any are to have boun-
ties, let them be given to all calIings and
classes.
