War Among the Druggists

Sometimes, IN the course of
events, the newspa pers of town,
and occasionally that town hap
pens to be Ocala, have a wordy
war, but just now, in Ocala, a
war of a peculiar kind is being
waged most fiercely, and the sick
and manned are rejoicing IN that
the said war is between three
of our four drug houses, namely,
the Autobiography drug store,
the Postoffice drug store and
Tydings & Co., and patented
medicines and their accompany
ing accessories is the article con-
cerned. Some one of the three
began a cut IN prices and it was
soon met, then another cut a
little and the others met him,
possibly went zone BETTER
Then they all got mad, fgura-
lively speaking, and now in the
windows of the aforesaid stores
may be seen almost the entire cat
alogue Of patent medicines, each
package bearing a card with the
price attached. The prices have
been reduced to cost and in sew
eral cases a few cents under.
How long the cut will last no one
can tell. 1t may be a case of the
survival Of the fittest; at any
rate the patrons of the stores
look on smilingly and buy what
they need, and IN many cases lay
in few bottles of standard reme-
dies at these remarkably low
prices.

The Paupers Attend

Halt, lame, blind, aged, and all
anxious and fearful-ethe entire
pauper list of the county-ap-
p"ared before the board of county
commissioners this morning 20
show cause why they should not
be stricken from the list. The
board wanted to make the &C
qualntance of this little army and
see that they were all deserving
of the county's bounty, so last
meeting an edict went forth for
them to appear or get no more
pensions.

Edgecombe county land there are no
more inveterate gamblers here than in
any other locaities) has lost enough
since the war on futures" TO build
and operate enough cotton factories to
not only spin every bale of cotton
raised within it's borders, but to e
it into the finest of fabrics. The evil
is not on the Iecline. A score or so
years ago., future dealings were indufg-
ed in by a few rich merchants and
farmers. Now forty dollars a month
clerks buck" the future tiger" This
high toned gambling should cease.
1t is too expensive.-Tarboro South
erner. .-,
1t is difficult to conceive how men
S pposed to be capable of deciding be-
twixt right and wrong, in matters of
propriety &c we'll as Of morals, can
enter upon the course Of folly which
has been adopted by the fusion men,
beers of the Board of Agriculture. I'm
der whose counsel such course is taken
We do nOt know, but whoever he or they
may be, they show a judgment which
is pitably weak. The old members,
themselves the creatures Of | gislation,
undertake to pass judgment upon and
decide the title of others to positions
created by the same power that created
themselves, and Of equal power and
dignity as members of the Board of
Agriculture as themselves. And what
adds to the absudity Of the action,
these "old" members constitute a mi
nority of the whole board-Raleigh
Post.
When Colonel John S. Cunningham
denounced those members Of the
Board of Agriculture who are trying
to usurp power as fit disciples Of Kirk
AMI his brigands he was toe mild in
his sdenunciation. Kirk and his band
of cut-tLro;ts had some shadow of au-
thority from corrupt officers TO carry
out their prog anime of violence and
knavery. The concocted- cospiracy
to usurp powers which he board less
than two months ago did not claim will
be condemned from one end Of the state
to the other. Upon the adjournment
of the legislature, the chairman and
secretary of the Board Of Agriculture
wrote to the thirteen members they
now refuse to recognize, notifying
them of their election and summoning
them to attend a meeting of the board.
They came, sat with the Russell board
Of nine, and both the old and new
members unanimously elected Colonel
Cunningham chairman of the board.
They acted together in naming commit
tees, and the last issue of the Bulletin,
the official organ of the Agriculture
Department contained the names of all
the now and all the old members to-
gether as composing the State Board
of Agriculture of North Carolina, 1892
After such recognition, it Is scandalous
and s-nqcks of a job for the old MEM
bers to hatch up a conspiracy to de-
prive the new members of the positions
to which they have been elected,-Ral-

more or less from neglect We nave
read but little OF Timrod since the first
edition Of 1873 was published. and could
not undertake a critical analysis or
estimate without a fresh study of
poems that we recall to have delighted
us with their simplicity, beauty, puri-
ty, exquisite melody, decided intel
lectuaI level" felicities Of thought, real
charm of language and much pathetic
grace and eloquence that even linger
now upon our memory with no little
Of pleasure, and make us desire to re-
new our acquaintance with so favored
a genius of Southland whose native
wood-notes wild" have a perennial
charm and an u~nceasing fragrance.

pathy, affection, penetration and happy
and impressive ~phrasing. 1t is really a
delightful volume every way. and If

show themselves irrespective to the
rightful claims of true native genius

to quote from another South Carolina
poet-who was our friend and CORE
spondent at intervals running through
nearly thirty years-the late richly en-
dowed Paul Hamilton Hayne, who was
surely, we think, the third best poet
to which the south has given birth.
He was writing of his friend Timrod
in the happy words quoted, after that
son of inspired song had ceased to sing
in the lam of his birth, and had pass
