COL. CARR FOR GOVERNOR.

Where is the man with more staunch
State pride than Col. J. S. Carr, of
Durham, n. c.? Who has been more
honest, proved himselfmore true, more
capable in dealing with any question
or case, in politics or business or char
ity, than he? Where is there one more
liberal in purse and mind and yet
withal with sounder judgment than
Col. Carr? Where is there man in
North Carolina more fit for the office
of Governor than he?-esteemed and
known everywhere in this country for
his manly worth. If he does not want
the office, all the greater pity that the
North State should lose him. That he
will have to make great sacrifice in
his business and many relations of life
if he becomes Governor, is sure. Let
the reader figure it out, putting him
self in Col. Cars place. North Car
DINA might will offer him the Cover
nor's chair by unanimous VOTE

SHIRT WAIST

What is that | hear each day,
As near the Buford House stray
What is it makes my hair turn gray?
IT'S shirt waists.
When to my room now repair,
TO try to find some comfort there,
What is the first sound | hear
lis shirt waists.
And when 1 venture just a word.
And think perhaps | shall be heard,
| find all other talk deferred
For shirt waists.
When from my slumber | arise,
AS rosy dawn lights up the skies,
What is it that greets my eyes?
lis shirt waists.
And when lay me down at night,
In sleep to shut all things from sight
A vision comes, in cOlOrS bright,
Of shirt waists.
When to my meals 90 with thee,
Thinking that there 1 shall be free,
Great heavens. on every hand | see
Those shirt waists.
Whenever pass the ladies now,
And dOtf my hat and SIN lie and bow,
But shirt waists.
What is it makes me swear and rave,
And wish that was in my grave,
And for oblivion always crave?
It's shirt waists.
What is it that brought this blight
On me, who once was gay and bright?
What keeps ME always in fright?
It's shirt waists.
What was it made me feel SO bad?
What took the cash once had?
Twas nothing but this crazy fad
Of shirt waists.
NOmOrc | walk the streets at will,
But stink around with foxy skill
TO dodge the chap who totes the bill
For shirt waists.
And when at last my life is DER,
| ask for this and nothing more,
TO reach some fair and happy shore
Where there 5 no shirt waists

Why Go to Church on Rainy Sun.
days.

| attend church on rainy Sundays
because:
1. God has blessed the Lords day
and hallowed it, making no exceptions
for rainy Sundays.
2. l expect my minister to be there.
l should be surprised if he were to stay
at home for the weather.
2. If this hand fails through weak
ness l shall have great reasons to blame
myself unless l sustain him by my
prayer and presence.
a. By staying away may lose the
prayers which may bring Gods bless
ings, and the sermon that would have
done me great good.
$. My presence is more needful on
Sundays when there are few than on
those days when the church is crowded.
6. Whatever station l hold in the
church, my example must influence
others. If stay away, why may not
they?
7 On any important business rainy
weather does not keep me at home,
and church attendance is, in Gods
sight, very important.
8. Among the crowds OF pleasure
seekers see that no weather keeps the
delicate female from the ball, the party,
or the concert.
9. Among other blessings such
weather will show me on what foun-
datons my faith is built. 1t will
prove how much l love Christ. True
love rarely fails to make an appoint
ment.
10. Those who stay from church be-
cause it is too warm, or too cold, or
too rainy, frequently absent themselves
on fair Sundays.
II. Though my excuses satisfy my
self, they still must undergo Gods
scrutiny, and they must indeed be we'll
grounded to bear that. duke 14:1S.
IL There is special promise that
where two or three meet together in
Gods name He will be in the midst OF
them.
IS. An unavoidable absence from
the church is an Invaluable evidence
of spiritual decay. Disciples first fol-
low Christ at a distance, and then like
Peter not know him.
"A. Such yielding to unmountable
difficulties prepares for yielding to
those merely imaginary until thousands
never enter a church, and yet they
think they have good reason for such
neglect.
IS. know not how many more Sun
days God may give me, and it would
be poor preparation for my first Sun
day in Heaven, to have sighted my
last Sunday on earth.-Frances Ridley
Havergal.

After a ball starts to roll it will 60 q
certain distance merely by reason OF its
own momentum.
The heavier and bigger it is the further
it will roll. 1t may have been.pretty hard
to start it i'll the first place, but once you
get 1T going little ish now and then
will be all that is necessary.
If the ground is soft and rough you
will have to push pretty ard When
you get to smooth places it will be much
easier.
The ball of business is hard to move in
hot weather. The ground is more or less
sticky and there is grear deal OF friction
Still, II you push hard enough, you can
move it.
In the Fall, VIXEN cool weather has
made the road to trade easier and
smoother, you will not have to push so
hard unless you want the ball to 90
faster. If you do not push at al! it will
come to Il standStil even on a sheet of
glass.
Somebody has said that "the time to
advertise is all the time and that is
one OF the smartest things that was ever
uttered.
II yOu do not advertise in the Summer
If YOU do not push the ball at all-it
will stop. Ii you do not advertise in the
busy season, business will go on for a
certain time at slow rate of speed But
II you want to get over a good deal of
ground in a short time better push it
along lively.
The best thing to push it with is good,
liberal advertising in the best paper you
know of, the GOLD LEAF, for instance

AN IDEAL sANITARIUM.

A couple of weeks ago THE OASIS editor was at Phoenix, and at that time tbe nights and mornings there were very sharp and frosty. It was stated that in the city of Phoenix the mercury had gone down to twenty-two degrees above zero. That was within three degrees of the lowest point it has this winter touched at Nogales. But the objectionable feature of the Salt River valley climate is the fact that in the middle of the day the air Is quite warm and balmy. To the in- valid seeking the relief afforded by a mild winter climate so great a range of temperature in the day cannot fail being detrimental. In other words under such conditions the enfeebled system finds greater difficulty in ad- justing itself to the extremes of tenn perature than in a region where there is not so wide range between the temperature of the night and early morning and that of midday.
 It is in just the particular above in- dicated that Nogales offers a climate superior to that of the Salt River valley. The early mornings subject the invalid to degree of cold with no perceptible difference from that of Phoenix, and while it moderates dur ing the day there is not the positive

harm in the sudden change to a much warmer condition to which the in- valid is subjected at Phnnix
 In the summer Nogales is free from the enervating heat of the lower alti- tudes of southern Arizona and Sonora, and to those seeking to escape tue in- conveniences of the heated spell offers as equable and delightful climate as 1t does to the invalid seeking to eyade the rigors of northern winter
 Another advantage from sanitary standpoint in favor of the line city is the purity of the water supply. The water piped throughout the town comes from deep wells in the solid rock, and chemical analysis shows it to be remarkably pure and free from deleterious properties.
 All these facts are factors which make of Nogales an ideal place for q sanitarium. In projecting such an institution here Doctors Chenoweth and Welles have selected the best pos sible place for it's site and have pre- sented suffering humanity an inesti- mable boon.

A PRIZE PUZZLE.

Coming down on the train Wednes- day evening a cattle buyer from Texas exhibited to several cattle men the fol- lowing memorandum given him by the collector of customs at Fl Paso, and asked them to cipher out if possible, what would be the fine levied per head on an importation of cattle which had been raised in appralsement one dollar per head on an original en- try of ten dollars per head:
 OFFICE OF COLLECTOR OF CUSTOMS, !
 Port of Fl Paso, Texas.
 If the appraisement value of any article of imported merchandise shall exceed by more than ten per centum the value declared in the entry there shall be levied, collected and paid in addition to the duties imposed by law upon such merchandise further sum equal to two per cent of the total ap- praised value for each one per cent that such appraised value exceeds the value declared in the entry, and if such appraised value shall exceed the value declared in the entry more than forty per cent such entry may be held fraudulent and the collector of GUS toms may seize such merchandise and proceed to forfeiture of the same, etc"
 All agreed that it was "as clear as mud" and several took out their pen cils and commenced ciphering. One man figured the fine would be just one hundred per cent, or ten dollars per head on the cattle. Another made it fifty per cent, or five dollars, while third ciphered it to be just two dol lars per head.
 When really intelligent business men so widely differ upon construc- tion of revenue article, where is an ordinary alfalfa fed custom house off, cial to be expected to get off?
 The gentlemen discussing this mat ter brought another point into the conversations: The way in which the appraisement is made on importations of cattle. They asserted that the customs officials will not accept bill of sale from Sonora as evidence of the value of the cattle, nor will they i'm part any information with reference to what will be their apDraisement. So the shipper must put in his entry, taking his chances on the appraise- ment being raised and the imposition of a fine. One of the gentlemen in the party, who handles cattle all along the international boundary, stated that while that is the rule at El Paso aud Nogales it does not prevail down the Rio Grande at Eagle Pass, Laredo and other points.
 Why there should be one system of doing business down the Rio Grande and another at Nogales and Fl Paso is something that DO fellow can find otltu
