Weldon, in this State.
Hotel keepers might do great deal
towards bringing money into the
South by feeding their guests we'll and
giving them the very best service.
Men from the North and other sections
are willing to pay good money for good
fare.
Agitation is good thing sometimes.
The constant agitation that has been
kept up about pension frauds has
borne fruit. A man out In Michigan,
to whom a pension certificate was
granted In 1895, has sent in his GER
tificate to Washington saying he Is not
entitled to a pension. He promises
to try to return all the money he has
drawn since his paper was issued in
1895. Others are sending in requests
that their names be dropped from the
pension roll.
And now after all, it may be that
the pension list will turn and grow
less. Let us hope SO.

It ought to be a matter of appreci-
alton on the part OF every good citizen
of the State, that the liquor dispensa-
ries that have been established in this
State have all proved success and a
blessing to the communities in which
they have been tiled. Recent reports
from Louisburg and Fayetteville show
that the dispensaries in those places
have been a source of good revenue to
the towns and a means OF greatly re-
ducing drunkenness. And still in
those communities no one can have it
to say that his liberties for liquor
drinking are curtailed. The drink.
ing mans liberties to make himself a
nuisance to other people are curtailed
and herein lies one OF the excellenciss
of the system.
William E. Gladstone, now in hi
89th year, is in some respects the mos
remarkable man living. He has beer
student OF passing events for three
8 score and ten years and has been en-
gagged actively in the affairs of Grea
Britain for quite long time. He ha
been a great statesman, scholar ant
philosopher and when Gladstone pass
ca from earth, it may be said of him
i we think, that be was one of th
worlds greatest men, reckoning for al
generations and through all ages pas
North Carolina needs some emp(
rum to handle the products of our vs
rious manufactures. The plaid mil
manufacture goods in quantities, shi
= them North, and in turn the sam
goods are shipped back from the gres
iobbers to the retail merchants. Th
same is true of the product of OF
). knitting mills. The goods are place
with iobbers North who sell the good
and ship them back South.
The consumer pays the freight tv
ways, when with some great conce'
to handle such things right here
: North Carolina, the goods would con
cheaper to the consumer, and the
would be better profit in handlll
them.
