AN EXAMPLE OF FUSION.
(Snow Hill Standard.)

A characteristic piece OF North Caro-
lima fusion was in evidence ut our last
weeks term of court, when n feTOr.
previously convicted of theft. and whose
rights of citizenship had not been re-
stored, was found on the jury selected
by our board of commissioners to hear
and pass upon causes between the free
citizens of our own county.
And this is no uncommon occurrence in
North Carolina during these days when
felons are imported for their votes and
paid in the dearest right belonging to
the free and honest citizen.

The news from our neighDoring county
of Robeson is especially gratifying. Mr..
George Mcleod. one Of the StauncheSt
of Democrats and best of citizens, has
been made chairman of the county com
mittee. He has put others IN charge ~
his large business interests and has him
self taken large and commodious quar-
tiers i'll Lumberton for his Democratic
headquarters. whence he directs the
forces which his white government clubs
are bringing into such disciplined effec-
tiveness. 1t is confidently believed that
under his leadership Robertson will be
able to overcome the large adverse ma
jority. That was about a thousand on
the general ticket, though Mr.. Mcleod
himself, as the Democratic candidate for
sheriff. came within a few votes Of cleo
ton. That was due to his srrengkh with
the Popuists. and indicates the wisdom
displayed by our neighbors in the choice
of Il leader.

Don't Try to Be Something Else.

One reason why SO many girls and
boys, men and women, too, are IN
interesting is because nearly every
body tries so hard to be like some
body else rather than to be content
to remain himself or herself in life.
In nature you don't see an oak
tree posing as willow, or a black
duck as yellow leg, or horse as
COW, or lily as rose, or lilac
as peony, or dog as a cat Be
natural, and you'll be all right.
Many girl without the slightest
talent for music is running a piano
who should be making bonnets or
bread; many boy is studying for
a learned profession whose proper
sphere is the machine shop or the
mill; many man is splitting up
churches who ought to be doing
good service in some institution of
learning, teaching or working ON
some farm, and many a woman is
trying to be in vain a leader of So
ciety when she could be model
housewife in her own home, Pear

Cere1nonious Father.

The father of the late Hon. Rob-

to sit down in his fathers presence

An Unexpected Reproof.

The tourist had paused to look al

the gate, and the tourist called to
him and inquired:

The other looked at him for mo-
ment and then said:

Every man--that is, nearly every

therefore the explanation of a
touch, which is given herewith, is
for the benefit of women and chill
dren who do not know. A touch is
a mace, strike, " a borrow !"
There are many different kinds of
touches. There are the shot touch, ;"
the rush touch, which is the 'hot
touch s" twin brother, the "sym-
pathy touch and other kinds too
numerous to mention.
A "hot touch" or rush touch" is
one that is made SO quickly that the
"touoher" gets the money he asks
for before the 'touchee" realizes
what is happening.
The other day "hot one" was
made on a young man who is rather
near" with his money, The touch

rushed up to the "touchee" with
tears in his eyes and said: i've got

The Antiquity Of wigs,

A passage in Polybius has been
