fers from the old organized parties
because it sprang, fully equipped,
from the common people. They
came from the farm, the woods, the
shop, the factory, and from every
walk in life, and the rhythmic
thunder of their march has started
vibrations that will cause the
thrones Of tyranny to crumble and
fall, even though they exist beneath
our glorious flag. This army OF
freedom has no respect for a tyran;
or his throne because found at q
Pullman or Homestead. But let
Shylock beware. This spirit OF
unrest and discomfort is producing
strange shapes and ghostly shadows,
and we, the descendants of those
Revolutionary heroes, will not sub
nit much longer to oppression with
out a parallel in the history of this
world
Revolutions never go backward.
The great reform movement is here
to stay. Neither ridicule nor abuse
will stop its onward march. The
landless cut off from Mother Earth
denied even a burial place in her
kind bosom, rejoice as they catch
the CLEAN of the banner set up by
the people, upon whose folds is
written, Equal rights to all; spec
ial privileges to none" and which
proclaims liberty to all the inhabit'
ants of the earth.
The high sea walls of caste are
gone.
The pent-up floods their chains
have burst
The toilers face the golden dawn.
The first are last; the last are first.

~ Much continues to be published
10 the textile organs concerning the
securing of wool by the naptha method,
the economical results being represented
as of the most decided character. The
naptha is forced through and through the
wool by means of pump, land all the
natural oil or yelk of the material is ex-
purgated. 1t is reported that not only
does the naphtha exercise no injurious
effect upon the fibre of the wool, as in
the case of the alkali cleansing, but really
leaves tho fleece in better condition than
when treated by any other process. A
further valuable feature mentioned az
pertaining to this me,hod is this, namely,
that after the grease is extracted from
the wool it may be again extracted from
the naphtba in q pure state. and used as
q saponificator for the purest soaps.

the door instructed callers to "twist the

Mr.. Nye was married in 1877 to Miss

!B Three primary conditions are
enumerated by the Scientific American
as essential to the ideal fire proof building,
viz: 1t should be proof against any att
tack from without; the skeleton frame,
consisting of steel columns and horizoR-
tai girders, should be enclosed in some
thoroughly freproof materials and third,
it should be such as to render it practica-
BILE to localize fire and conflne it to the
particular floor upon which it originates.
The writer remarks that in the case OF
the majority of buildings there is evidence
of an attempt to fulfill the third condi-
tion, a partial attempt at the second, and
none whatever at the FIRST. The first
condition can only be met by reducing
the window space. building the walls With
a facing of the very best FIRE brick. and
furnishing every window with a plate or
roller shutter of steel. Tho second con
dition can be reached by walling in every
column and every main girder with bIgn
class fire brick, leaving between the BRICK
and the metal space that shall be hlIeo
in with preparation of asbestos similar
to that now used on steam piping, OF
with some similar nop-conducting mate
rial; and the third condition can be at
tanned by fire brick foors with cement
finish, abolishing all wood work, anu
using metal window casings and sasheS'
providing each !. elevator landing wild
plate steel doors, ands lastly, placing 0N
each floor powerful water supply

A North Carolina Section-Master Killed
by Negro.

Scotland Neck, N. C, February 2l.-
Yesterday J. N. Harrell. section master
On the Norfolk and Carolina railroad at
Palmyra, died from blow given him
the evening before by one of the colored
ra:lroad-haDds named Robert Whitaker
Harrell was not acting as section master
at the time, but another man, named
Parker, was attending to the dutise.
When the hands came up to receive
rations some words passed between Har-
rell and the colored man, tut it seems
that Harrell did not suspect any trouble
As he turned to walk away to his house
which was near by: Whitaker struck him
with heavy piece of wood. Harrell
fell, and asked who struck him. DR..
Leggett was summoned. 1t was found
that his skull was broken. The wounded
man did not speak again, but died early
yesterday morning. Coroner B. F. Gray
was sent for from Weldon.
The colored man went back on the
road to work yesterday hut learning that
Harrell was dead disappeared. Persons
came here from PaImyra and telegra phed
to the State farm at Caledonia for hounds.
They were brought down on the evening
train, and search was made last night for
Viii aker, but there has been no report
OF the result OF the search. -

that our prices are better than many

Men of 70 Years to Fight the English as
- .'& in Their Younger Davs.


| On Dec. 2l, when the news came to
Pretoria of Jam eson'r advance, the hol-
landers and Germans Immediately assem-.
bled to form corps of volunteers Guns
| and ammunition which they needed were
given them from the Government mag
azines. One hundred and fifty Germans
were authorized ofirially to requisition
horses. They formed squadron, with
Neumann for their chief, Messrs. Krantz
and Wygel for lieutenants, who, assisted
by some Hollanders, undertook the duty
OF keeping order in Pretoria and the
neighborhood.
On the next day, early in the morning
column OF Beers appeared, numbering
few hundred, commanded by Frichard
They bad travelled for ten hours upon
their little horses without quitting the
saddles What solid fellows these boars
are Among them there were men of
20 years, who were determined to show
their sons that there was still plenty of
fight in them, One Of them forgot his
coat. IL only had time enough" he
said, "to grab my vest and my trousers
and recite pater with my wife and my
children" Hans Botha, who in 1881
was wounded by nine English bullets,
was also OF the party, and he accounted
| for his presence to Gen Joubert by saying
to him with good humored smile: 81
have room enough between the scars for
another ball or two"
After a short rest the column Rslloped
toward Krugersdorp, where there was
about 900 Beers. Three hundred of them
watched the rear of Jamerson's raiders
while the rest drew him toward defile of
Krugersdrop. = On Dec. 81, at 4 O'Clock
in the afternoon, Jamerson's column met
the first patrols of the Beers, but it con-
tinued it's march up to the defile of Kru-
gersodorp. There it would havs been
easy to annihilate the entire column
with artillery, but the artillery of
Joubert bad not yet arrived At pre-
cisely o'clock the first shot came from
Jamerson's troops in his attack upon the
Beers, who had posted themselves be-
| hind the rocks. A we'll sustained fire
burst forth and the first Boer wounded
was Botha, the man with the nine bull
lets. He was fortunate, however, and
was hurt but slightly. THAT makes
ten" he said. THE number is even now"
