Semi-Weekly is a very nice thing to
have in the family. 1t is e~ight-page,
filled with good reading, and goes twice
in the week for but one dollar. Think OF
getting 1O4 papers for that trifing con
sideration. Every body who does not
get the daily should be receiving the
attractive, number-One twice-a-week
Messenger. If you would read it for a
few numbers you would not be willing
to be without il.

There is great trouble ahead in Bos-
ton. A negro girl has found her way
into the Boston university. If that
event works as great hardship as did
that negro who got into the city gov
eminent it will be necessary to cover
Boston with blister plasters to prevent
a total collapse.

For several months, 1 was troubled
with a persistent humor on my head
which gave me considerable annoy-

Ayers Hair Vigor. Before using one

The English are the greatest pepople
in the world, and, as Mark Twain has
pointed out, they are even mentioned
in the Bible, where it says: Blessed

earth.-Springfield Republican.

SO the split among radicals widens
with the procession of the days. The
Pritchard crowd aim to so put Russell
in the pillory of public condemnation
as to make it impossible to boss the old
corrupt party of hungry office seekers.
On the other hand, as Hayseeder Otho
says, the accidental senator is plotting
to knife Russell that his political gas
bag may explode early and shut out
the duke from all chances as to sue
ceeding the accidental in popular favor
for the senate. If Butler can put an end
to Russellism in North Carolina hence
forth the white folks will be willing to
forgive a few of the sins in his long
catalogue. 1t is to be hoped hat the
radicals will wash their hands clean of
the usurping, dictatorial Russell, and
this done there will be none so base as
to do him reverence. Even 'the saw
ages will be ready to drop his tsarship
in that event. But it is observable
that still some of the "decadent" spoils-
men hold or to the widely flowing skirts
Of the governors robes of office and
pay court at the old stand offering or
brazen vessels the incense Of toadyism

An excellent gentleman at the bar
was Of the opinion a few ago that
crime was IN the decrease. A larger
observation has convinced him that it
is increasing in North Carolina. We
fear it is increasing with tremendous
ratio. In Allegheny county a man was
tried for attempted rape. He was a
white s%coundrel, and got but five years
in the p~enitentiary. He appealed and
got it. In Wilkes county two attempts
at rape occurred recently in one week.
The rascals are out. One was a negro
rascal who outraged his own little
daughter 9 years old. The other was
a black scoundrel who raped a 7-year
old girl. These are samples all occur
ring close together.
