THE MEANING OF 1T.

Very often we give the wrong meaning to
word and thereby make serious mistakes.
For instance. the true and literal meaning
of the word rheumatism is caches or pains
of the muscles, bones and joints of the hu-
man body" 1t is general and not specific.
Also the word relief does not mean cure.
Relief may be but short cessation of pain.
But when we say ST. Jacobs Oil cures rheu-
matism promptly and permanently, we
turn of it, unless the sufferer gives cause
for a new attack, and then it will cure
again. 1t matters not whether it is chronic,
acute or inhammatory, it will cure. That
is sure, be sure of it.

Strawberries.
There is practically no difference in
growing strawberries for market or
for home use except in the. amount
planted and possibly in the quality of
the varieties. Generally the most pro-
ductive varieties are satisfactory for
home nse. Sod plowed under should
not be planted to strawberries, as grubs
generally destroy plants. Land culti-
waited the previous season in any hoed
crop will be in the best condition for
stra wberries. Coarse manure should
be plowed under, fine manure, unleach-
ed wood ashes or bone meal should be
applied as top dressing and cultivated
in. either before tAe plants are set or
after.
Plant in rows four feet apart and
eighteen inches in the row. Set the new
until the row is as wide as you want
it { nd remove the rest. Every third or
fourth row should be staminate.
Few persons once interested in stra W.
berry culture are satisfied without test
ing some of the novelties. The product
iveness of new varieties every grower
must test for himself Set a dozen
plants of a variety and grow them un-
til you are satisfied they are productive
enough to be planted with your stand
ard varieties. 1t may worry your pa
tience to wait year or two to find out
the value of a variety, but it will tire
your patience good deal more to plant
a thousand or two at fancy price and
get no returns.-Strawberr Culture.
Quality of Potatoes.
1t is evident that the potato crop of
1896 is far below that of 1895, both in
quantity and quality. So far as the
quantity is concerned there are few
complaints. We had far too many po-
tatoes in 1895, and there are plenty this
year. Put the quality of mucn of this
years rep is not satisfactory 10 either
producer or consumer. The wet sea-
son male the potatoes watery. leaving
many of them of inferior table quality.
and unusually liable to rot. Many de-
cayed in the ground, and reports indi-
cate that many are being lost in the
bin. This is having quite an unfavora-
BILE influence on the market just now.
! These potatoes must be marketed, and
the result is liberal supply, while
dealers are loath to buy them freely for
fear of loss. This, however, is expect
ed to bring about more satisfactory
marketlate on. Commission men are
advising those who have good sound
potatoes, and are in position to hold
them safely, to market them later,
when competition with the others is
past.-Na tional Steckman.

GOVERNMENT BY RECOGNITION.

We now have governments by recog-
milton" in this State, as well as govern
ment by State Treasurer and by injunc-
ton. The fusion County Commissioners
have passed resolution that they would
not hereafter recognize" the two mem
bers of the board appointed by the Judge,
under the law. The Wilson Times in a
we'll written editorial points out that if
this new method of government is to
stand, a man may refuse to recognize"
another's title to land and proceed to take
it for himself without process of law,
he may refuse to recognize" the cleo
ton of the lawful sheriff and decline to
pay his taxes, and so on till free govern
ment would be at an end.
There is but one precedent of national
reputation for the revolutionary action of
the Wilson board. 1t is found in Tom
Reeds refusal to recognize members in
the House of Representatives The scan
dial of usurpation grows from the Fedora!
Congress to a county board of commits
sioners.
The people are getting tired of these
things. They want a return to the old
orderly methods of government.

THE TEACHERS ASSEMBLY.

The programme of the coming session
of the Teachers Assembly, published
elsewhere in to-day's paper, is most at
tractive one. The session promises to De
Unprecedented in interest and IN attend
ance.
Prior to the organization OF
tho Teachers Assembly the teachers
and advocates of better school facilities
worked without concert of action or or
eanization. and much of their labor was
lost. The Teachers Assembly furnished
a common ground upon which all could
meet and make and carry out the plans
that have resulted in the educational re-
vival of late years.
In addition to the ordinary work of the
Assembly, which will be conducted upon
improved and approved plans, the session
Of 1897 is charged with the duty of or
ganizing campaign for giving the people
of every township in the State longer
school term through increased local tax
alton, supplemented by State funds to
the amount equal to that raised by tax
alton. To this end two whole days of the
Assembly will be devoted to the discus
sion of the best means to be employed to
arouse the people to this chief duty of the
year. DIR. Curry and other eminent educa-
otrs from abroad, as well as leading citi-
zens, politicians and publicists, will be
present and take part in the delibera-
tons.
The future progress and prosperity of
the State depends largely upon whether
this generation comes up to the full
measure of its responsibility in furnish
ing proper educational facilities for the
education of the youth of the State. For
mer generations argued that they were
too poor to bear the tax burden to edu-
cat all the people. We have now learned
that we are too poor not to educate and
that unless our people are educated the
State will always rank low in the census
column of wealth as we'll as education.
To stir up the people to provide better
schools and longer terms as the most inn
portant work that the Assembly has in
hand. Its officials are Iull of intelligent
ZEAL Its membership will second their eff
forts They and the friends of education
can bring about such progress in this
year of grace as will make this a notable
tory Of the State.
The initial steps in the educational
campaign that will be waged this summer
will be taken at the Assembly this
month.

4 THREATENED CALAMITY.

We publish to-day an article from the
Southern Tobacco Journal, published at
Winston, which shows the magnitude OF
the calamity which threatens our tobac-
90 manufacturers in the proposed in
crease in the revenue tax. The Iobac'
60 Journal is the leading paper IN the
Sonth devoted to the interests of the to-
bacco growers, and its strong words based
upon facts ought to stimulate every men,
her of Congress from North Carolina to
tho utmost zeal to defeat the proposed
robbery under the forms of law.
Senator Pritchard is the man who can
do most to avert the calamity, the section
al burden, and the wrong which Re-
publican majority has decided to infilct
upon our people.
The people of North Carolina are ev-
erywhere asking the question: "Wlll Sen
ator Pritchard stand with the people of
North Carolina or the Republican party
of the North?'
The issue is so plain that he cannot
dodge it. If he does not love dispensing
patronage more than his own people he
will stand up in the Senate, if he has
to stand alone, and vote against this in
creased tax. But if he wants to traffic in
Federal patronage and keep on good
terms with Mckinley, he will go with his
Northern allies and help to impose
weighty burdens on his struggling consti-
tuents.
Which will he do? He cannot serve
his own people and those who are re-
solved to put grievous burdens upon
their backs.

THE SOUTH AND WEST THE ONLY
HOPE.

The Review of Reviews, one of the
most popular and vfrile of magazines
lent its influence during the campaign OF
1896 to the election of Mckinley. While
not a political magazine, the character
of its articles were most damaging tc
Mr.. Bryan and the cause the espoused. Ii
is frank enough, without avowing any
change of conviction on the money ques-
ton, if it has experienced change of
heart, to show that the hope of the coun-
try lies in those sections that stand al
most solidly for the reforms demanded
in the Chicago platform. The Review of
Reviews says:
''We have fallen into vicious ruts
in these latter days. The redemption
of the country must lie in the public
opinion of the West and South. The
East has fallen under the bad spell
of money; and even the pulpit takes
its tone largely from those elders and
vestrymen and pillars of religion and
philanthropy who do business in Wall
street. 1t is Il HdIu lIuUI stHu oLc
shocking to the sensibilities: but true
it is nevertheless, that there is often
more genuine ring of patriotism
and higher sentiment for national
honor in Tammany Hall itself than
in Wall street. There may be little
choice between the men who con-
tribute the funds that keep our poll
tics rotten at the core, and the men
who receive the money. But the
practical politician of the machine
variety is, after ALL better figure in
politics than the franchise grabber,
bribe-giver, and deliberate corrup-
ZIONIST whose whole study is to break
down every vestige of that personal
integrity that availed in the past to
protect public rights and the general
good against private greed"
Not great while ago Bishop Newman,
of the Northern Methodist church, said
that the purest type of Protestant relig-
ion was found in the South, and that
Professionalism depended largely upon
Southern orthodoxy to preserve the faith.
If the South and West are to save the
American government from "the bad spell
of money" that now dominates Federal
politics, and if the South is the home of
the purest type of religion, does it not fol-
low that it's political and religious creeds
are the wisest and should be adopted by
good men everywhere?
The people who were blind in 1896 have
lived to see the scale fall off their eyes
in 1897.
