The End of Time Not Far Away~-Cer.
tain Signs warn US to Look Out For

B.-"Hellol Mr.. Editor"
R,-"Helloi Mejor. Anything new
to dayF"
B-"Nothin' ter ermount ter a row
of pins. I'm thinkin' more erbout the
end ov time than I am erbout current
matters. l don't believe things are
goin' ter last much longer in this moral
vineyard. / wuz tellin' Betsy the
other mite that l believe ole mother
earth will peg out before long. The
Scriptures are bein' fulfilled at a rapid
rate. There has bin storms, tamines,
wars and rumors Ov wars, earthquakes
an everything predicted. We are told
that in the last days many wonders an
freaks will appear ter puzzle the folks.
If we haint got a cargo ov freaks on
deck now I'd like ter know why. You
kin start q meenageree at every cross
roads in the State, a museem ov
natural freaks"
R.-"What wonders and freaks have
appeared in sight latelyE"
B.-"Lots ov 'em. One il the Tri.
bune posin' az a Republican paper. the
other liz the News and Observer posin'
ez a farmers paper. If the end ov
time aint rite here l think time will
stop an hide it's face at the site ov the
above pair ov freaks. Why bless your
life people would travel a thousand
miles ter see them two freaks per.
formin'. G3ntry haint got nothin' in
hiz circus that kin hold a candle ter
these two organs" They are q Cir,
Gus, a State Fair and a prize fight awl
combined. If Barnum wuZ livtn' now
he'd give a million dollars fer this pair
an git 'em under one tent. They say
the world will finally be destroyed by
fire. If so / reckon the News an %.
serv9r an Tribune will have ter go.
But there won be any more rea&S
left then. Gudebye."

COME SOUTH, YOUNG MEN.

Recently State Auditor Aver re-
ceived a letter from a farmer in Min
nesota. The gentleman wanted to
know whether q Northern man can
live among Southern people. He also
writes that winter has prevailed in
Minnesota since last October, snow be.
ing on the ground nov to the depth Of
three feet, and that there is a great
want of prosperity up there.
Come South, friend. Certainly you
can live here if you are a good citizen,
and there is room for many more of
the same kind. You will find relics of
''bourbonism" in many localities, but
that is rapidly disappearing. You can
belong to any political party you please.
We have a dozen or more parties here,
and any one of them will receive
you with open arms. Three out of
four of all the voters in the different
parties are standing candidates and
b other fourth are standing civil ser
vice examinations for any government
JOBS that may be disposed to hunt a
nan down. Just get square with the
candidates and you will be right in
the SWIM But we would advise n
stranger to leave his politics out of it
until he gets located and then vote es
ne pleases. Same way about religion.

NOT STATE REPUTATION.

1t has been charged that the State is
trying to repudiase q contract between
the State and the Southern Railway
Company. This is not true. The State
of North Carolina has never made any
trade with the Southern Railway Com
pany.
Twenty odd years ago the North
Carolina Railroad was leased to the
Richmond 6 Danyille Company for a
term of years for so much. This Com
pany was e-organized and is now
called the Southern r all way Company.
We have had several Governors and
changes have been made in the direc-
torate Of the North Carolina Railroad.
Six years before the original lease ex
pred Governor, friendly to the South
ern, remarkably 30. gets the directors
and some of the stockholders together
and they lease the North Carolina Rail
road to the Southern Railway for q
term of 80 years at a wonderfully low
rental. This was done privately, secret
ly. Only by the merest chance did it
become known before the trade was
consumated. 1t was done at night and
might be called "a midnight trade"
The people of the State, the represen-
tatives of the State, did not authorize
this new deal, knew nothing of it. The
directors we're usurping power never
legally vested in them. They we're
selected to take are of the property o
the State, not to dispose Of it in a sus-
picious manner. A ninety nine year
lease is equal to a sale. The State pro
poses to repudiate the unworthy actions
of the directors of the North Carolina
Railroad. She proposes to insist that
her property rights shall be respected.
We will suppose that John Smith
owns a large number of cattle. He en-
ploys Bill Green and Sam Jones to herd
them for a certain length Of time. He
gives them no authority to rent, lease
or sell the cattle during that period
without is kno Wedge. The State must
defend her rights in this matter.

THE BENEFIT OF BOOK FARMING

A goodly number of people have had
much merriment over what they call
hook farming" Farmers have 7ined
in the chorus of laughter at scientific
experiments, and lat while they were
so doing they were losing. The Elgin
butter makers have succeeded because
they have carefully followed the teach
ings of science on the subject. There
is over $40. OOO,O 900 invested in the bust,
ness in Illinois. more than three times
the amount investe d in all other enter
prises in the state. This success could
not have been achieved without

will find any where in the country ;

Yes, come South. The man with or

try is sparseIy settled, You can have
choice of good land at from four to
fifty dollars per acre, and much good

poorer than they are elsewhere, every

country; people frequently live to the
age of 100 and over; many travel

show any signs of wanting to leave
permanently. Come South!

LIVING IN GLASS HOUSES.

The editor of the Tribune, who has
been a resident of North Carolina but
a short while, is very anxious to cup
plant the natives who have fought her
battles and made the State what it is.
He fears that the Board of Agriculture
has allowed the PopullsUs too much
representation in that department. AS
a matter of fact the Agricultural De,
partment was conceded to the Popu
lists, aud we presume that the Repub
lican boards for the other institutions
will take care of their friends. At any
rate the Tribune need not have any
fears ebout the Republican party. 1t
never gets buncoed when there is pat
ronage to distribute.
The Tribune also has much to say
about Governor Russell and his Demo
cratic and Populist advisers" The
editor of the Tribune should be careful
about throwing stones in his glass
house. Somebody may charge that the
Tribune is not a simon pure Republican

has, we are told, held responsible pc
sitions on Democratic newspapers.
Mr.. 7. B. Eldridge, the associate editor
of that paper, hes always been a rank
Democrat, and has edited Democratic
papers in this State for years. Has he
ever changed his politicsR One of the
city editors of the Tribune, Mr.. Mar.
tin, is q democrat. He was lately EN-
ployed on the Wins on Daily Sentinel.
Mr.. Hart of the Tribune, is a native OF
Alabama, and if he was anything but
a Democrat before he left that State,
it would surprise US. We presume
that Mr.. Kenyon, formely of Iowa, has
been a lifelong Republican. City edi-
tor Briggs. young man, is Republi-
can, voted the first time last fall. II
we were going to subscribe for a Re-
publican paper we would look around
a little before we would close a trade.

THE AGRICULTURAL DEPART
MINT,

While the State Agricultural Depart
ment..has never been regarded as politi.
Cal strictly speaking, yet none but
Democrats have ever been installed
there. Hence it is but natural for the
vIctors in the political contest to re-
move the present incumbents and put
Ia their friends.

Bruner and Messers Terrell and Ennis

Tnere r no charges of unfaithfulneee
or dishonesty against them. They are
victims of political defeat, and few off

The miners strike at Madrid is in
fair way of settlement. On Thursday
night the miners held meeting and
decided, by vote of eighty-one to forty,
to accept the reduction in wages. Many
OF the unmarried men employed in the
mines have left the mines entirely and
gone to other camps looking for employ
ment. The men who have families, real
izing that an extended lockout would
entail much suffering upon their wives
and children, desire to adjust the diff

that some concessions will be made by
the manager which will result in the re-

The Deaf Girl Understood.

1t doesn't always pay to express your in
most thought even guardedly in the pres
ence Of deaf mutes. A story was told at a
meeting of the Woman Suffrage associa-
ton which showed conclusively the wis
dom Of the above remark.
A devoted couple who apparently had
been long separated were thrust suddenly
into each others company at largely at
tended reception. The lady who told the
story said that she was present in compa-
ny with an educated deaf girl. The happy
reunited pair displayed fully the thoughts
that were in their hearts by the beam up.
on their countenances. Suddenly the
young man drew near to the one whom he
adored and said in low tone, inaudible
to those about him, few seemingly affec-
tionate words.
The deaf girl watched the proceedings
with intensest interest and suddenly broke
into broad grin. Her companion inquired
what 1t was that amused her. She turned
about so that the couple could not see her
and replied:
That man said: If all these people
were not here, I'd kiss you. II they don't
get out Of the way pretty soon, shall have
to before Them The girl replied, Then I
shall scream
The deaf girl understood their words by
the motion Of their lips.-Boston Record.
