Mr.. John r. Smith has re-
turned from Raleigh, and has
nothing yet to satisfy the army Of
hungry oficeseekers who are
continually at his heels. 1t has
been told around on the quiet that
Mr.. Smith is looked on with
favor by the new Governor and
that he will be consulted when the
patronage for this section is being
distributed, and he is now the
most popular man in town, Major
Grant not excepted. No doubt
the slate is already made up, and
has been for some time, but the
officials may ''ring" in some
changes, and this prerogative on
their part keeps lot of people in
suspense.
THE CountyCom missioners and
the government authorities are
still "conferring" about that
draw N the county bridge across
Neuse river. The government
says it must go in, and the Board
of Commissioners are soliciting
time; as, the latter say, it would
be great inconvenience to the
farmers beyond the river to Cut
out the bridge at this particular
time, when the farmers are busy
marketing the last Of their crop:
and hauling out agricultural sup
slies for their farming operations
for the New Year, now under
full headway. 1t is to be hopee
that the government will give
TIE Board of Com missioners reas'

the bridge to be cut away and ;
new bridge with draw put in.

An epidemic prevailed in Plymouth,
was almost decimated-every one fed
that could get away, excepting those
who heroicaIly determined that duty
required their presence to nurse their
families and combat the disease.
Heroes who fight battles and destroy
armies, desolate homes and crush ma
tions are lauded to the skies, but there
is another heroism that should never be
forgotten, that which stands at the bed
side defying danger and death, soothing
the sufferer. Such devotion was shown
In Plymouth, and the fell destroyer was
soon driven back, and health smiled
upon the doomed town once more.
Having in our official capacity as mem-
bers of the Plymouth Hospital Committee

ness of many different articles to be used

ventives of infectious fevers, report that

While bubble worlds go drifting past her feet
And the great sculptors' dreams alone abide.
Morning and night the eager longing grew
That one might gather up the precious dust,
Trampled and strewn on 6amothrace's
plain,
And shape the splendor Of that face anew,
The prophet eyes, the brow serene and Just,
The gracious lips too calm for loves dear
Then in . dream he saw her glorious face.
Out OF the sea mists curdling round her
breast
It dawned like som clear vision Of the blest
Ash soft wind of God sighed through the place,
Lifting the eddying veil a little space.
But, 10. the brow was SCARED, the eyes deep

Clouded with pity for the host that pressed,

Women and men incredulous of good, ;
Captives set free, but bondmen still to fear,
And children weak that clutched her gar.

Old Corks. .
The following extract from a re-
Gently published interview with an
old cork merchant shows that old
corks are anything but useless.
"These," said the interviewed,
leading the way to a long, high
room, lined on each side with i'm
mense5 wooden bins, tsare all old
corks. The first bin you see is filled
with mixed or broken cork articles.
1pay something like fourpence or
sixpence a. pound for this refuse,
and after being washed in hot water
and then dried it is ground fine and
sold to linoleum manufacturers at 2
shillings a pound.
"These are what we call
'screws,' he said, leading the way
to a bin of old ginger beer and wine
bottle oorks. by 'screWasans' We
mean that the corks have been
pierced by a corkscrew, which, Of
course. renders them unfit for re.
mskt1g into new scorks. 80 we put

whiohAcutsiths insidssout ,of them
and leaves ahollow tube. The tubes
are then sliced into rings for use In
beer and ginger beer bottles. The
best quality Of wine oorks, bought
by US for less than twelfth Of their
original cost, we obtain from the
big west end clubs and. restaurants.
It is veryiseldomthatthe cotkscrew
goes into the corks in high priced
wine, therefore 1t is an easy matter
for us to make them into apparently
brand new corks. If it were not for
our trade, corks would be twice the
price they are at present. We re-
make an enormous number In a
year: employ six men to gather
them, and each man hasa list Of
