BRINGING UP CHILDREN.
Love and Confidence Are the First
Principles.

Principles.
MY dear mother has curious ideas
about children" said an ideal young
mother not long ago. "She is always
talking about the good old-fashioned
way of bringing them up, though GER
tainly she must know that it drove the
sons. away from their parents, and made
the daughters reWember the old home
as though it were reformatory. John
and l were both too sternly treated
when we were children, generation
later; in fact, his father was so cruel
that he cannot bear to remember his
youth and it's trials. So we determined
to take other plans with our children.
First of all, to make their early home
so happy that they will always remem-
Der it as the dearest place on earth, and
to win their love and confidence and to
make them sure of ours. The idea of
standing on dignity with ones own ba-
bies-the idea of their being afraid to
say anything they wish to say to us,
and to utter little cries of pleasure, to
chatter and laugh over their meals, to
join in the conversation when a bright
idea strikes them. do not need to be
harsh. That mother doesn't like it is
enough"
There is every distinction between re-
preston and suppression; that is, pa
rents should repress their children, but
not suppress them. Theirs is the time
of life into which neither care nor
trouble nor shame nor fear of criticism
should enter. Fair and kindly treat
ment will give them, as they grow old
er, joyous and aggressive confidence
that will help them through many diff
ficulties that would otherwise appall
them. Moreover, it is as wrong to tell
a child of its faults before visitors a.
it would be to tell ones husband or
ones wife. If there is anything to talk
over, do it in the nursery when out
siders are away. "As for their papa"
added this model woman, che does as 1
desire him to do, being away at bust
ness so much, and comes home to be
met with shouts of joy, kissed, petted
climbed over; to have his pockets
searched for candies and to brighten
up the house. As yet I do not tell the
baby faults to him; they are all within
my own provinces; and later when the
boys become their fathers care am
sure they will be kindly, tenderly and
wisely advised. They will be their
fathers companion, as the girls will
be mine, and such boys seldom become
dissiDated or vicious" That happens

On the farm.
During 1896, upon recommendation o.
Lier't. Stottler, the government issued
5000 sheep for distribution among the
tribe, and 500 for the school. The idea
Is to have the Indians raise their own
mutton, and then cut off the supply of
beef, which cost the government $4,000
in 1896. On July 1 next all rations ex-
cept beef will be cut off.
These Indians have been made nearly
self-supporting within the brief period
that Lieut.. Stottler has been in charge.
Every male on the reservation has cut
his hair, put on civilized dress and taken
a piece of land which he has fenced and
commenced to raise grain and vege-
tables. They all have cabins with cook
stoves and utensils. There is no drunk
enness. Every man has ten head of
sheep, and like number for each mem
Der of his family. Every child on the
reservation is at school. Every man
has wagon, harness and pillow. In two
years these Indians have been trans
formed from lazy, filthy savages in red
paint and breechclouts, into reasonable
working human beings. with n care for

New symptom OF Hysteria.

Hysterical persons often have a mar
rowed field of vision and certain de-
gree of local insensibility. These signs
allow a diagnosis of hysteria and a
connection with this form of neurosis
of symptoms that might otherwise be
due to different causes. DIR. de Stroz.
ewsl1i, in La Medicine Moderne, notes
another of these stigmata-the relative
insensibility of the canal of the ear
and of the nasal passages. With the
least sensitive persons, the tickling of
these regions with strip of paper
will produce violent reaction. With
persons affected with hysteria, no sen.
sation of tickling, or avery feeble one,
is felt, though the touch of the paper
is recognized. This symptom exists
in all forms of hysteria.

GOOD ADVICE.

Two years ago by a co-opera-
tive effort the farmers of the South
succeeded in substantially reduc-
ing the cotton acreage.
The result was better prices for
cotton than had been given for
several years and a big net profit
from the crop
1t was hoped that the expert
ence thus gained would induce a
continuance of the same policy,
but the next year the average far
mer planted more cotton. The
crop was larger than was needed
and down went the price. Every
man who increased his cotton
acreage probably supposed that
he would be one of the few to do
so and that he would get as much
per bale for his larger crop as he
had received for the smaller crop
of the previous year.
President Hector D. Lane of
the Protective Association of
American Cotton Growers is dos
ing his best to prevent the folly Of
overproduction this year.
He has published a letter in
which he urges the farmers to
limit their cotton acreage and de-
vote more land and attention to
food crops. This policy would
be profitable at both ends. 1t
would insure better prices for cot
ton and leave the farmer with less
to buy.
President Lane suggests that
three conventions be held next
month to consider this impor>
tant question. one at Waco, Tex
as, March 8, one at Memphis,
March 10, and one at Augusta,
March Is.
His recommendation should be
adopted. The Protective Asso-
citation of American Cotton
Growers is we'll organized and
it would be easy to secu-e a large
attendance at all these cCnven-
tions. We believe that a sufficient
number of representative fars
mers from all the cotton States
could be brought together to
adopt methods to secure reduced
cotton acreage and to carry them
out. The association proved of
vast benefit to the South two
years ago. and we believe it will
be serviceable this year.

A FIRM.

The Goldsboro Hardware Com

E. Jenkins and Thos. /. Sutton,
hat recently opened up a general
hardware business on West Centre
street, have met with such grow
ing and widespread demands for
all sorts and varieties of hardware,
that they have found it necessary
to greatly enlarge their establish
ment and more than double their
original lines of stock; SO that now
they carry everything, from the
tiniest serew-nail or carpet tack to
ponderous corrugated iron roofing
and men to put it on in work
manship that is perfect.
1t is interesting to visit their
handsome establishment, just to
view their infinite variety of stock
and the artistic arrangement in
which everything is made to show
up.
1t you are farmer, it makes no
difference what variety of agri-
cultural implement you desire
you al find it here. If you are a
builder, you can get most any,
thing but a readysmade house
from them. If you r a house,
keeper, they can interest you in
many ways. IF you ride a Bike, .
they can supply you with any
thing and everything you need,
except an accident policy. The
hunting season is nearly over,
but they carry a full line of goods
for sportsmen; and if you cou-
template any fishing expeditions
this spring. they have such fine
modern tackle that you will not

DEAR ARGUS st. Valentines
Day has passed, and we suppose,
using your ARGUS eyes, you saw
many a wight creep to the lattice
in the early dawn to be the first
object my lady's bright eyes rested
upon as the window was flung
open to admit the first light, not
to see if her valentine were neal.
How times and customs change
now, in the age of steam and
quick transit the lover laughs at
distance and appears unexpect-
edly to claim his valentine while
she, all unconscious, is enjoying
his rival.
The buds are waking from the
long Winters nap, already they
show a plumpness that would need
only a few bright days to swell be-
yond the capacity of the tiny blan-
kets that enwrap them. We hope
these coverings will cling yet a
while and that the tender green
things may not be killed by some
naughty March wind.
It is surely not the poet alone
who feels the wonderful stirring
of the season-the prosiest of US
realize a sympathetic awakening.
The trucker is no doubt dreaming
of his early harvest, may all his
dreams be realized.
Improvements continue in our
village. One residence . on the
new street is already occupied and
others are to 60 up at once. The
Office of our young M. D. is about
completed, the delightful perfume
from the new guano depot greets
all passers by.
The event of the past week was
the Husking Bee, an entertain
ment given by the Vance Literary
Society of Fremont Academy,
There was a large crowd in atten-
dance, there being visitors from
four or five counties, and the aud
fence expressed the highest praise
of the young actors. All were
commended, but it was said of
Scip," FrankAycock, that he was
a better negro than the negro him
self. Long will ''Scip'' be remem-
bered. After the little play was
over, the Hon. B. f. Aycock in
his usual happy style, spoke words
of encouragement to both patrons
and teachers, making an appeal to
the people not to neglect so vital
a matter as education. It was al
together n of those pleasant af-
fairs that bring the people of a
community nearer together, and
unite them in a common interest.
Hope we may have more of the
same kind soon. BEE.

THE CANAL PROJECT STATUS

It is of interest to know the
facts with regard to the present
status of the Congressional meas
ure for the survey of the pro-
posed canal from Birmingham to
the Warrior River since nothing
has recently been heard from it.
The facts are these : On January
13 last a resolution was introduced
in the House by Congressman
Clarke, and shortly afterward in
the Senate by Senator Morgan,
providing for an appropriation of
SIS, 900 to defray the expenses of
the survey, When it came up for
consideration in the House Rivers
and Harbors Committee it was
deemed best to strike out the pro-
vision for the appropriation OF
SIS, 900 and substitute that the
payment of the cost be made from
the unexpired balance of the funds
heretofore appropriated for the
improvement of the Warrior
River from Tuscaloosa to Dan
iel's Creek. This was done be-
cause it is now almost impossible
o get through the House any
such bill or resolution carrying
an appropriation with it because
of the neal approach of the end OF
the session.
The resolution was according
ly amended by the committee an
reported back to the House,
where it is now on the calendar
of bills on the State, of the I'm.
ion. The Senate resolution wa:
also amended in the same way
tand passed the Senate as amend
ed February 4.
When Senator Morgan's reso-
luton went to the House it wa:
referred to the Rivers and Har-
bors Committee. which reported
it back favorably, stating that it
is Identical with the House res
olution already reported AND
adopting its original report as its
report upon the Senate's resolu-
ton. The Committee instructed
Congressman Clarke to move fol
a suspension of the rules for the
passage of the Senate resolution
This will be done when the recs
ognltion of the Speaker can be
had. This is the present status
Of the matter.
It is thought by Congressman
Clarke and Congressman T. II.
Aldrich that passage of the res
olutiou can be had and no effort
will be spared to secure it,
though it is by no means an easy
matter.
The members of Congress who
recently visited this district were
impressed with the Importance
Of the canal project and may be
expected to lend their aid in get>
ting the resolution through. AS
to the amount of the appropria
ton the unexpired balance OF
funds heretofore appropriated
for the Warrior River is under.
stood to exceed SIS, 600, so that
the change in the form of the
measure while it greatly increas-

passage by Congress also makes
a larger fluid available.
