into the hands at night and the use OF
oatmeal after washing will keep the

Unfortunately civilization has fostered
a prejudice against ones going about
with dirty face, and SO chapped one
appears to be the only alternative. But
it isn't case OF Hobson's choice as it
seems at first glance or the two evils,
take neitherl Cold cream is the key OF
the secret; use plenty OF that harmless
unguent and there need be no outward
evidences OF dust, or OF too frequent ap-
plications of soap and water.
At night before going to bed wash the
face thoroughly with warm water and
pure soap; then bathe with cold water
till the skin tingles and glows, drying
with a soft towel. Finish the process by
rubbing some pure cold cream into the
skin with the finger tips, gently massag-
ing the face, giving special attention to
the part where the teli-tale lines first
begin to form.
In the morning wipe with soft cloth
till all traces of the cream, applied the
previous night, are removed; wash with
a Turkish cloth, warm water, a very,
very little soap and finish with the cold
douche again. Thus you perceive one
begins and ends the day with clean

1t occurs to me that the utility of the
social private secretary is, indeed. very
great in New York as well as In Washing
ton. Women of experience and refinement,
sometimes of middle age, being required by
the necessities of their situatioB, do this
kind of work, and young women who are
possibly engaged in newspaper lines, also
find il very profitable as well as pleasant
to supply the right sort of social advice
and clerical assistance There are several
OF such in Washington, who have not only
relieved their chiefs of much of the rou-
tine humdrum of social manipulation, but
by reason of their tact and training in the
treatment of different kinds of people have
become actual private secretaries rather
than mere clerks. If one can afford such
a luxury, IL is found that the social sec
retary becomes the necessary thing.

WATCH THE FENCE JUMPERS.

There are three men, who were elected
"a POpulists, whose conduct has been
very strange, to say the least, since the
senatorial election. They have no,
acted like true Populists should They
have been hocking to themselves, or
rather associating with the boilers.
The Republicans claim that they have
string to them, and that they will
jump the fence and join the boilers
when the pie is dished out.
They are now playing the role of
straddle. bugs. But they will be forced
to show their hands soon-when the
bills come up to clOthe Gov. Russell
with power and patronage to feed
the boilers and traitors on to
build up "that Russell administra
tion party" then watch and see
how they vote. If they vote for
those bills, ic will prove they are in the
deal with the Republicans and boilers
The Republicans say that these men
are in training for "fence jumpers. .
The free show is promised to take place

Hard on the Boilers.

ouI 11Omc.
We have no words to express our
utter contempt for this little lonesome
squad of So called Pritcbard Populists.
They are the most contemplate dis
gushing traitors that were ever known
in North Carolina history. Having
secured nominations and having been
elected as Popnlists, as representa-
t,ves of great Reform party, their
constituents had right to expect
that they would not betray them, but
instead Of working to bring about the
reforms promulgated by the Peoples
party, they deliberately sell out to
Mark Hanna and the Republican party,
ignoring the rights of every honest
Populist who voted for them, and they
now expect to fatten on their reward
for their treachery, while their con-
stituents, the tOilers in the fields,
must continue to groan under the
weight of oppression heaped upon their
shoulders by such henchmen of the
money power as Jeter G. Pritchard
Can these traitors be allowed to 20
back home and live among their con-
stituency after concentrating such in

THE CASE OF L. X. WHITENER OF
CATAWBA.

Mr.. l.. X. Whitener has been one of
the most hOnOred and respected men
in the Peoples Party of his county.
But his conduct during this session of
the legislature has been very strange
and peculiar to say the least. During
the senatorial contest the Republicans
were ever and anon limiting that
Pritchard could get his vote if it was
necessary to elect him. In fact the
Republican PIE brigade seemed to place
Whitener along on the same level with
McCaskey. But Whitener like Nc
Caskey voted for Thompson for Sena-
tor, though since the election the y
both seem to be with the boilers. Some
of the Republican papers have criti-
cised Whitener for not voting for
Pritchard, saying that he had promis-
ed both sides. Since the election of
Senator Pritchard Whitener has not
been attending the Populist caucus
while the boilers claim that he haf
jumped the fence to their crowd.
The Hickory Mercury is published in
Mr.. Whitener's county. Mr.. Click
the editor, is known to be a personal
friend and admirer of Mr.. Whitener' .
But Mr.. Click is patriotic to the in.
terests of his party and the welfare OF
the people above personal feelings. In
the last issue of his paper appears the
following:
We see it in the papers that oul
much beloved and hOnOred Represen
tative, l.. K. Whitener, has, since tn,
election of Mr.. Pritchard. Joined tn,
boilers against the majority, this MAY
be so, but if it is, then everybody il
this section of the State has beer
greatly deceived in him. They hav,
always looked upon him as one of tn,
most level-headed and conservative
and sound Populists in the Who'll,
State. He knows that a majority, il
! any party, must rule. And then h
knows that no bOlter, in q case of thi
kind, can defend his action. So tn
Mercury cannot believe he has, or will
desert the party now when it has pu
rified itself and placed itself in a con
? ditiOn to take on new and permanen
growth. So we will wait and see.

Who Holds tho Organizations?

We hear some few people asserting
that Senator Butler has lost hold on
the Peoples party of this State, and
that as soon as his present term ex-
pires Skinner will be elected in his
stead. We would ask such who holds
the organization the Butler or Skinner
faction? Do they suppose that little
crowd Of boilers can head party into
the republican ranks? There is not
a genuine organizer in the State, but
that will say Butler is right.-The Re-
