Eleven of the 20 men brought on

very few passengers were carried. The

Christmas Evening Dances.

A very pleasant dance was given at
the Elks Hall by number of the
young society ladies to their gentle
men friends. About thirty couple en-
livened the occasion by their presence.
Seven pieces of bhe Marietta orchestra
furnished music for the occasion and
were kept busy playing dance music
until late hour.
In Schlecher's hall a number of the
younger society set made merry with
music and dancing Tuesday evening.
With this favorite amusement to be-
guile the time Christmas evening sped
by almost unnoticed.

WITH THE TAR HEEL EDITOR
MEPITED PRAISE.

Wilmington Star.
The State press is paying some warm
and merited tributes to Hon. F. NJ Sim
mons, chairman of the Democratic State
Committee, for his tireless work and
able management of the campaign which
ended in such a blaze of glory for the
Democracy of this State and for white
supremacy. No man ever worked harder,
more persistently faithfully or zealously
than he did from the day the campaign
opened until the result was announced,
and the glorious victory won is in no
small degree attributable to his watch
full alertness and superb management in
organizing the lines and selecting the
leaders. There are thousands who de-
serve praise for good and patriotic work,
but there can be not too warm tribute
paid, or too free recognition made of the
eminent services rendered his people and
the State by this tireless, able, match
less organizer and leader, whose record
of valuable services has eliminated in
this grandest Of victories.

OUR DUTY TO THE NEGRO.
Raleigh Christian Advocate.

Ralelgn CHRISTIAN Advocate.
The State has just passed through an
other exciting election-perhaps the most
exciting in its history. A victory has
been won not for any party, Democratic,
Republican or Populist, but for a prnci-
pie deeply embedded in the Southern heart
and in fact in the heart of the whole
nation. A majority of voters has re-
corded its conviction that intelligence
must rule this nation, and that Cauca-
slams, from the human standpoint, must
be the arbiters of their own destinies.
Let us now look for peace and the bury
ing OF all animosties. Let all citizens
bend their efforts toward promoting by
wise legislation and good citizenship the
prosperity Of our common country. Let
it not be forgotten that the black man,
more than ever, demands our good will
and good offices. May all discharge their
duty in the fear of God and with good
will to all men.

This is what has already been ac-
complished by Imperialism, masque~
rading in the robes of expansion. IL
we had given the Filipinos voice in
the management of their own coun-
try, as Mr.. Bryan suggests, there
would have been no war;
Up to the mistakes of this Admin
istration, it has been to our moral adj
vantage and for the happiness OF our
people that we have not been COM
PEELED to keep up immense armies to
protect ourselves" The old world
has groaned and travelled, while we
have been free, prosperous and hap
by. Over and over have the statesmen
of Europe envied us in this thing. The
moral power of the triumphant repub-
lie made it. the besS and foremost coun-
try on the globe. Not the conqueror,
but the helper.
Let the people, especially the work
ingmen of North Carolina, ponder well
these things, reading carefully the
speeches printed in another part of
this paper, and say what sort of
country they are going to leave to
their sons. Will they imperialize it,
or will they keep it faithful to de-
mocracy, true to itself and to others

ofathe brave.

The frequent references, in the
speeches of Mr. Bryan and Mr.. Steven
son, to Thomas Jefferson and his
teachings are most appropriate. This
is the centennial anniversary year OF
Jefferson's first election as President
of the United States, and by singular
coincidence it is the first Presidential
year in which the paramount issue is
whether the American people shall
make a radical departure from the
principles of the Declaration of In

framed by the fathers of the Republic.

During the light shower of rain
last Saturday afternoon lightning
struck pine near the residence of
DR.. SWEET. The shock was quite
severe, and burned out many of the
telephone fuses also. The electric
light plant was also disabled for
the night.
On Wednesday three sharp
flashes Of lightning came in rapid
succession striking the smokestack
of Hamlin & Co.'S mill. The
smokestack however served as a
protector and while the building
was not demolished in any way, it
was set on fire in two different
places. Luckily the hands were
on duty and by the timely use of
fire extinguishers the flames were
soon eAtinguiShed. Some of the
transformers in the electric service
were also burned out, giving lis
darkness again. while the city Tel
ephone Company have been busy
furnishing fuses and replacing
dislocated parts of the service.
Thursday evening was one Of
darkness. and another brilliant dis
play Of lightning visited this sec
ton but did no damage that we
have learned of. The peculiarities
Of these visitations consists in the
fact that we have had no rain to
amount to anything, though we
learn that other portions of the
county have had generous and
welcome supplies.

10 three years.
This is pretty severe. But the tramp
evu Is one which needs Draconlc treat
ment. It Is said TO be growing IN TINS
country 10 enormous proportions Ac-
cordng TO some estimates there are no
less than a million tramps in the United
states preying upon society Ike so
many parasites. And often they are
menace TO the regions they visit. a
physically healthy man who refuses to
work and prefers begging should be
taken care Of and be made TO support
himself 1t is notorious that tramp life
Is one fruitful source Of immortality and
crime. and It IS but too often sustained
by mistaken beneyolence.
1t is no excuse for the evil to say that
the social conditions are largely respon-
slbie for its existence, as is sometimes
urged by modern reformcrs. The root
Of It is the moral depravity that makes
men ayerse to honest exertions. NO
form Of society can be framed for the
special benefit Of those who prefer TO
trample under their feet the divine law
according 10 which Il is the duty Of all
TO work as a condition Of living, But
this much can be said that the tramp
who spends his life In riotous living In
the palaces Of vice is morally not SUI
perior 70 him who idles II away IN rags
and pig pens. a law that reaches one
class and not the other is like all hui
man institutions, imperfect.
Possibly the attention OF missionaries
OF the Church, who, in all parts OF
the field, travel without salary. and
without peounlary recompense, should
be directed 10 the ohio act. They are
in no sense "tramps," although the enc
mics Of the Church sometimes apply
that epithet TO them. They are minis
ters Of the Gospel laborlng for the
spiritual benefit OF their fellowmen.
They do not beg and they do not
refuse to work" But II Is conceivable
that inimical courts and iuries, Sec
onded by popular preiudlces and the
clamors Of fanatlcal accusers, might en-
deavor TO stop their work by the mis-
application Of some such law. 1t is al
ways in order for the messengers Of
peace. who have been sent forth "as
sheep in the midst Of wolves" to heed
the injunction Of the Master "Be ye
therefore wise as serpents, and harm
lese az doves"

The prognosticaton Is as little likely
10 be literally fulfilled as that concern
ing the recession OF the lake TO the pro-
portions prengured The body of it has
been greater and less in the course Of
years. and probably the fluctuations
have been periodical Il has risen as
much as ten feet between times OF sell
entihc measurement, and increased In
area over four hundred square miles in
twenty years From 1874 Il has grad.
uauy decreased and probably reached
its lowest level for the period during
the present year.
Interesting particulars concerning this
remarkable body Of water viii be found
In Dr. Jas T.. Talmages valuable lit
tie work--"The Great salt Lake Present
and Past" 10 be obtained at the Deseret
News office. From the date acquired
and reasoning as 10 the future from
what Is known OF the past, we may ex-
pect return TO previous conditions,
and look Tor a gradual Increase In the
depth and area OF the water until Il
once more reaches the maximum level,
since the time when the great inland
sea, which has left It's high water marks
on the face " the Wasatch and OQuiTh
mountains. burst through rs bounds in
the north, and a large portion Of It's
higher waters found a channel Of escape
through the Snake and Columbia rivers
to the Pacific sea.
There IL no need for alarm as 20 either
extreme Of the lakes huctuation. It
IS true that rise Of few feet means
the overflow Of a large area because OF
the fiatness Of the surrounding country
Also that a shnnkage Of q few feet
shows up the sandbars perceptlbly this
year But this city Is likely TO remain
far above the lake level. and bathing
will probably be available from sal,aIr
beach while the seasons come and go,
and there will be little or no danger
from either the rising or the falling Of
the salt Lake waters.
