Were Once Poison.

Perhaps not many Of our readers.
especially among the young folks,
know that the peach was originally a
poison almond. Its fruity parts were
used to poison arrows, and for that
purpose were introduced into Persia.
ansplantation and cultivation have
not only removed its poisonous quail
ties, but turned it into the delicious
fruit we now enjoy.
And we are told that the tomato
was also rank poison in its original
state-when first discovered. 1t was
called the Glove apple" and was only
valued for its beauty as curiosity or
ornament for the table or mantel
where there was no danger Of it's be-
ing eaten by children and others.
But by cultivation and improvement
it has attained its present state Of
perfection and harmlessness as one
of the choicest vegetables we have.

Visit to the Soldiers.

While in Raleigh last Thursday
accompanied by our young lawyer
friend Mr. r. S. McCoin we visited
Camp Dan Russell and spent a few
hours with the soldier boys-the
Second Regiment. Col. Burgwyn
was busy getting his men ION a war
footing" the organization being COM
plete but arms and equipment still
lacking. These he expected to re-
ceive this week and the Second will
then be in looks what it is in fact,
a splendid body Of soldiers.
The Henderson boys, Written, Wood,
Jordan, Collins, Prince, Prize, Stone.
Harris, and others whose names we
do not recall were in fine spirits and
enjoying good health. AS heretofore
stated they are in Capt. W. T. r.
Bells company from Rutherfordton,
and express themselves as well pleas
ed with their commander and other
superior officers.
We took breakfast with them and
enjoyed the meal in real soldier style.
The camp was clean and well kept
and the health OF the men good, there
being but few patients in the hospi-
tai and no case of serious sickness.

AN ACROsTIC.
Gone to the Asatic Waters,
Entering the harbOr at night,

Gone to the Asatic Waters,
Entering the harbor at night.
Over the sunken torpedoes
Right valiantly they waged the fight.
Grandly the ships steamed onward
Each eager to advance in the fray,
Death to the dastardly Spaniards"
Ever fell from their lips that day,
While above the din Of battle,
Ever rememberthe Maine!
You could hear the men shout Justify,
As they fired again and again.
Daring and brave were the heroes
Manila weakened at last
Into the poor Spanish batteries,
Rained the shells thick and fast,
And glorious victory crowned them,
Like the Dewey flowers of May.

A Town Pump.

The South Boston News calls upon
the city fathers of that progressive
city to put in town pump. In
these days of electricity, adulterated
food, tuberculosis, appendicitis, sub
marine mines. dynamite bombs, troll
ley cars, telephones, monographs,
bicycles, populists and pie hunters it
seems as though voice that calls for
a town pump came from another time
and clime-for the good, old fashion
ways-the honest ways, have about
all been devoured by greedy old Time
but say whatever you want to say
about it or against it, there is bit
of sentiment in the Town Pump pro-
ject that all the science and all the
progression of the busy. bustling
world cannot knock out
The Town Pump, with its big
trough and the green moss and the
mud puddle around it where bare
footed boys disport themselves; the
cool water and the pure water
always on draught, for wearied man
or beast-has never been and will
never be improved upon by the new
tangled methods of invention and ex-
pense. Every town and every city
should have a town pump-no matter
how many miles Of main they have to
pump warm river or putrid swamp
water for the people who must have
style at the expense of all else.-Fair-
brothers. FdrrdgO

The Resignation of Mr.. Lawrence
Deeply Regretted.

The GOLD LEAL last week made
mention of the resignation of Mr.
n. NJ. Lawrence, Superintendent of
the Oxford Orphan Asylum. The
Oxford Public Ledger refers to him as
1.-The able, kind-hearted, proficient,
bardworking, untiring, all-round
superintendent" and SAYS:
We more than regret this, as in our
judgment, he is the best Superintend-
ent the Asylum has ever had in many
respects. He has occupied this i'm
portant, responsible and trying posi-
ton for four years and the institu-
ton has advanced to the front rank
OF Asylums in this country under his
management. He has acted as Su-
Perintendent of buildings, making of
brick, farm, shoe shop, laundry and
printing Office, and even in the midst
OF all took flying trips to different
parts Of the State to gather in the
orphans that needed care and pro-
lection. He is kind to a marked de-
gree to the orphans and they love
him devotedly. The success of his
administration is well known to our
people. who deeply regret to lose him
and his popular and intelligent fam
lily from Oxford. His resignation
takes effect July l. after which MIR.
Lawrence and family will help to
swell the population Of the Queen
City of Charlotte.
