The thirty arc lights will be dis
tributed about the city as shown in
the accompanying diagram. Besides
this the city hall is to be wired and
lighted without additional, cost. For
all of this the city will pay the sum
of 81 800 year. The contract runs
for ane year with the privilege of ten
at the discretion of the council.
If the Herald is correctly advised
the service includes lighting on all
except moonlight nights from early
evening until 1880 o'clock. and from
a. m. until daylight. Mr.. Harsh
berger has been required to give an
indemnity bond to the city of $4,000
to protect the city from liability for
any injuries that may happen be-
cause of the construction or exist
ence of the lighting plant. R. B.
Showalter and r. Meyer, Jr., are
sureties.
rhe cost of the electric light is
about three times the cost of the
present lamp service, but it was the
opinion of the council that the people
want electric street lighting and that
if we have it at all it is fairer
and more satisfactory to light the
whole city than it would be to have a
few arc lights in the business portion
and leave the residence portion with
the unsatisfactory oil lamps.

OUR TOBACCO MARKET.

Our manufacturers say they need
twenty million pounds or more of
leaf per year and with the prospect
of increased need as the years go by;
that they prefer to buy on the Wins
ton market and will pay more for the
leaf on this market than on any
other. Hence there are strong
reasons why the farmers should
bring their tobacco here to sell and
to bring more than has been brought
in the past, since the quantity used
by our manufacturers, to say moth
ing of that bought on order, far
exceeds the annual sales upon the
warehouse floors.
AS we have previously remarked
the best place to sell any commodity
is where there is demand for it and
where the demand exceeds the sup
ply. This is the condition upon the
Winston tobacco market and those
farmers who take advantage of il
are wise.

The candidate for Vice-President
on the so called National Democratic
ticket, Buckner, admits that his
following is in dilemma. He says
the leaders are confronted by a
serious obstacle; that those who
voted that ticket with their employ
ers, in the last campaign, now want
to vote their old party ticket, and he
concludes that if the gold Democrats
place a ticket in the field "they are
liable to be left exclusively a party
of generals without any rank and
file of forces back of them, as the
great mass of men are unwilling to
vote any third ticket" The other
horn of the dilemma pointed out by
Buckner is that while the gold Demo
Gratis and Republicans are together
on the currency question they differ
as to other matters SO much as to
tend to keep the former from voting
with the latter. Buckner calls these
things problems, but does not solve
them. The truth is q fellow is in a
pretty deep hole while he is trying to
cling to the name of Democrat and
at the same time playing into tie
hands Of the Republicans.

AN UNJUST MEASURE.

That Loud postal bill is too loud,
1t seems to us, in it's injustice to
legitimate newspapers to become a
law. It's oppressiveness is SO appar-
ent that it should be readily seen by
Congressman and should not pass in
its present shape. Doubtless, the
postal laws need changing in some
particulars, but not from bad to
worse. The downright antagonism
to newspapers manifested by this
bill might give rise to the suggestion
that it's author has been roasted at
some time by some newspaper writer
and that nothing short of practical
revenge upon the entire business wilt
satisfy him, even if the general public
must suffer along with the newspaper
fraternity.
The First Assistant Postmaster
General, Mr.. Perry Heath, has writ
ten Mr.. Loud that nearly every news
paper published or circulated in a
small city or town in this country
would, in his opinion, be greatly in
jured by the proposed bill, and sue-
gested that the bill be modified
Never theless, we are told, Mr.. Loud
refuses to consent to any amendment
or to allow the opponents of the bill
a hearing before his Committee, thus
aping the example set by the Car o
the House in arrogant abuse o
| authority.
| Hence, the fight upon the unjust
provisions of the bill must be made
in Congress when it is taken up fol
consideration, and the newspaper
people are hoping that sense o
right will move a majority of thai
body to eliminate the Objectionable
| and unjust exactions sought to b.
imposed upon the newspapers of tn
country.
1t is understood that the passag
of this law would exclude from tn
present newspaper rates of postag
every copy of all newspapers excep
such as are voluntarily ordered AM
paid for in advance by subscribers
In other words, a one cent staml
would have to be affixed to sampl
copies, exchange copies and each an,
every copy sent to a subscriber ate
the time paid for in advance ha
expired.

TURN ON THE LIGHT.

The Hancock case remains unset
tied. His accusers have affirmed and
re q ffirmed his guilt; he has positive :
ly denied the accusations and has
repeated his denial.
The directors of the Atlantic &
North Carolina railroad, of which
Hancock is President, met in Raleigh
last week to consider the charges
and, after a sort of Star Chamb Der
proceedings, failed to reach a con-
clusion and adjourned to the %
instant for further consideration OF
the subject.
This is a case that demands
thorough and impartial investiga
ton. There should be no attempt to
whitewash. The exact truth should
be brought out regardless of whom
it may hurt. If Hancock ia guilty,
the directors should say SO and he
should be promptly elected from the
Presidency of the road. If he is not
guilty, the directors should just as
candidly say so.
The correctness of the verdict
whatever 1t may be, should be made
plain to the public, who are interest
ed in the matter by reason OF the fact
that the accused is an office-holder
and, therefore, a servant of the peo-
pie and accountable to them.
To declare him Innocent without
the evidence upon which such con
clusion was based would not be
satisfactory, since nearly all who
have read the evidence thus far made
public are disposed to believe that
the defendant is guilty as charged
To declare him guilty without setting
forth the reason therefor would, ike
wise, be improper.
Turn on the light and let there
be a full, thorough and unprejudiceG
review of the charges.

Like Goldsmith's parson who

Like Goldsmith's parson who
Tried each art reproved each dull delay,
Allured to brighter worlds and led the
way,
great preachers throughout the
country have been the most untiring
and earnest in telling the truth about
Paine's celery compound. IN urging
sick people to use it, and at the same
time they themselves have employed
the great remedy in their own homes
with results that have steadily kept
up their faith in its health>giving
powers.
1t is significant that Paine's celery
compound stands alone as the one
remedy that is freely used in the
homes not only of clergymen, but of
all literally as well as professionally
educated men: physicians, lawyers,
school teachers and others, while
every other remedy purporiing to
accomplish equal results, is prompts
ly shown the door.
No class of men have the public
good so disinterestedly at heart as
clergymen; none others see so inti~
mately the affairs of so many homes.
1t is their business to know the sad
side, sorrows and sufferings. AS
contidant, confessor and comforter
they learn the truth az even the
physician often fails to do.
And clergy men recommend Paine's
