HANNA will be kept on the anxious
bench a while longer and there are
some things in the future more GER
tain than that he will be reelected to
the United States Senate. The Re
publicans have a majority of only
five on joint ballot in the next Legis-
lature and it appears there is an
anti-Hanna faction in the dominant
party and that there may be coali-
ton between this faction and the
Democratic members, looking to
cooking Hanna's goose.

The worst two enemies of the
country newspaper is the one that is
too stingy to subscribe and the other
is the man who comes regular every
week to beat the editor out of copy
of the paper that has cost money to
get it out. We say this is gall OF the
worst type Oxford Public Ledger
Nothing truer than that. And yet
there are people who do not seem to
look at it in that light. They not
only ask au editor to give them his
space free but the paper also-his
only stock in trade when they would
not think of going into a store and
asking the proprietor to give them a

SOME local Republicans would,
doubtless, be very glad to rub out
the record of that county convention
of Forsyth which defeated resolu-
tions of approval of McKinley's can
didacy for the Presidency, but, like
Banquo's ghost, it will not down.
They say now that the incident has
reached the Presidents ears and it
may play havoc with some very
pretty air castles that have been in
process of construction for sometime.

A GERM THAT KILLS.

This was the caption of an editorial
in a recent number of the New
Orleans States. Those whose eyes
fell upon the caption naturally sup
posed the editor was going to talk |
about the yellow fever germ, which |
has caused SO much distress in his !
and other Southern cities this Fall.
But this he refers to only as q mild
something compared to the deadly
germ of which he speaks particularly.
From the editorial we take the fol-
lowing extracts, which may serve to
emphasize the appallingly destruc-
tive work of the germ that kills. The
States says:
"Thare are germs in this city today
a thousand times more deadly than
those of the mild type of fever now
prevailing. For instance, there Is

to give US an idea how it has
ravaged the world for centuries, con.
sequently there is no way to ever
approximate the number OF deaths il
has caused, except by a careful cola
ton of the records of all the poiic

HOMES, MILLINERY OPENING.
Big Display of Fine Partisan and Amer
lean Millinery Yesterday.

Owing to the absence of the regular
| fashion reporter, to the humble writer
was given the task of describing the
opening at Jones' Big Cash Store. Better
had he been sent to write upon the mys-
/ tries of electricity, to untangle the Knot
ty financial problem or to describe the
feelings of the much abused politicians.
He would have been more in his ele-
ment.
A short walk up Fayetteville street
brings to Jones where there was
a crowd of ladies and gentle
men bent on seeing the pretty
stuffs displayed in the window-so ar
tistically, that we thought we were in
Andersen's fairyland. Ae was walked IN
the centre aisle, the big store looked
much larger than usual Everything coun-
tiers, tables, etc, were filed with pref
