boom begins. He cannot be connected
with an important motive His shrewd
ness led him to thing that was a good
place to put in a few dollars. and the
result verified his anticipations, of course.
There is always talk of Doodle about
a Congress. The lobby is the favorite
theme of those who inveigh against the
legislative branch. These persons speak
without being sure of their facts. 1t can
be stated absolutely that the great ma
jority of the Representatives and Sena-
tors would not touch bride in any cir
cumstances. Most of them are honest
and scrupulously honest, at that.
There are very few of them, however,
who are not susceptible TO political pres
sure, and it is through political pressure
that all of the great schemes of the big
interests are put through Congress.
Personal friendship and good fellowship
have a good deal to 90 with it also. If
one man wants a contract for somebody
in his district, or has a particular bill
that viii affect him, the rest will all
turn in and help. They have logs to
roll themselves. These affairs are not so
frequent or so costly as they used to be.
Sam Ward and Ayres the king of the
lobby. and Nat Mckay used to give feasts
that were lavish to the extreme of pro-
digality. The wines were the best, the
foods the choicest and the service per-
feet Not so much of this is done now.
When Nat Mckay died the last of his
persisted.
The other extreme of lobbying is well
exemplified by the following story:
A young man who held government
position and had left it to go into a
business enterprise of his own in which
he met many members of both branches
Of Congress did not make a success. a
friend of his met a former employee.
Whats Jim doing now?" he asked
oh" said the employee, hes up at
the Capitol lobbying.
Lobbying for whom
Nobody for particular-just lobbying"
What that young man is doing and
what hundred others are doing is ly
ing in walt for the unwary who come to
Washington. Many men who have small
claims who want to get small contracts
from the departments or have bills they
hope to get through Congress have heard
that it is necessary TO influence" legis
lation. These sharks haunt the corridors
of the Capitol and the Hobbies of the big
hotels. They find out what the visitors
want and manage an introduction. After
that it is easy enough.
They claim to have influence with just
the very men who need TO be Influenced.
They make a show OF introducing their
cl;aDts ord collect xhafever they can
get-from $ to $500. Then they send the
victim home rejoicing II this bill passes
or he gets his contract. all well and good;
if he fails. the lobbyist gravely explains
that the other side brought Senator Han
Ma or the President or anybody else he
may happen to think Of into the field
and that he couldn't work against such
power as that.

Paragraphs Cleaned from the Durham
Herald.

Many mean things have been said
OF Mr. Cleveland but no one has ac-
cused him of being fanatic.
Mr.. Germans success shows that
it is possible to win without the Ell
dOrsement of the COmmOner.
Mr.. Bryan may have driven Mr..
Cleveland out of the party but he is
going to have trouble keeping him
out.
Judge Parker should know that
there is yet plenty of time in which
to kill a presidential boom by too
much talk.
Maybe the gentlemen who were to
give Greensboro that morning paper
are waiting until the town gets big
enough to support it.
The fact that that Lenoir county
man was shot in the back will not
prevent his murderer establishing
case of self-defense
If the Anti-Saloon League could get
all of it's members to swear Off per-
haps something will have been ac-
cOmplished for the cause.
The law is not supposed to know
one man from another. but the same
cannot be said of those whose duty
it is to see the law executed.
If the Republicans were blamed for
running the State in debt it would
seem that the Democrats deserve no
credit for keeping it there.
While the South will take no stock
in it, it can but hope that the con-
vention that is to settle the negro
question will make a good job of it.
We are sorry for the young man
who has undertaken to engineer
the Hearst boom in North Carolina.
He will not even get any fun out of
it.
The claim is sometimes made that
nine out of ten people favor temper
ance, but this is too thin. If this
were SO the saloons would soon 90
out of business.
If little thing like the Fairbanks
boom in North Carolina frightens
Mr.. Roosevelt he will lose his nerve
completely before his name is pre-
sented to the convention.
A man charged with a crime should
be given every opportunity of
proving his innocence, but when he
cannot do it the court should not
let sentiment stand in the way of
duty.
1t may not be the jury system but
something is wrong somewhere when
the State considers itself lucky if it
can land a man in the penitentiary
for five years for committing MUIR
der.
Sometimes we think the temperance
people take hold at the wrong end OF
the problem by attacking the sale in
stead OF the consumption of the stuff.
AS a rule the smaller the supply the
greater the demand.

SADDER BUT WISER.
People Who Bought Pennies at a
Premium-Taken in by Misleading
Advertisement.
A Charlotte dispatch SAYS:

A Charlotte dispatch says:
An advertisement in a newspaper re-
Gently stated that Washington clothing
store would pay rs cents for 1902"
pennies Because of this advertisement
Piedmont section of North Carolina and
in a half dozen towns in South Carolina
have come into the hands of specula-
tors.
Several weeks ago it was rumored
that in coming the pennies of 1902 a
large amount of gold had been accident
ally spilled in the molten copper. and
that the Government wished to recall the
issue OF pennies because of their intrinsic
value. Three men collected every 1902
penny to be found in the banks and
stores i'll Charlotte and sent agents out
OF town to assist in the collecting of pen
MES.
On March J. 1902, pennies We're freely
purchased here for ; cents each on the
9th they had brought ) cents. and on
the next day Edward b. Gresham sold to
Baggage Agent Bonner of the Southern,
$50 1902 pennies for 1913. Bonner stated
that the next day he sold the same pen
MES to n bank in Alexandria. Va. for 10
cents apiece.
The report of this transaction was
brought here and spread to neighboring
towns, and for the last four or five DAYS
the pennies have never been sold for less
than s cents and havefrequently changed
hands for 10 and II cents. Gresham
and other purchasers sent by baggage
agents over 5000 pennies to Washing
ton to be redeemed at the 1S-cent
value.
The advertisement stated that the firm
would redeem the pennies at noon last
Saturday. but before the large sacks of
Charlotte copper could be taken to the
store it was learned that the advertise
ment had a string to it. 1t is said that
the first person to appear at the store
with pennies was informed that the firm
had agreed not to pay Is cents for each
1902 penny, but Is cents for one thous-
and, nine hundred and two pennies
The agent for the local purchasers did
not report here until yesterday, and since
his return numerous kilograms have been
sent recalling the orders to buy the 1902
pennies. At Mooresville pennies bearing
that date sold at 9 cents, and in Sails
bury and other places they were bought
at large premium.

FARMERS CAN HELP.
The Orphans Cause Greatly Help:d
by Adopting This Plan.

Oxford Orphans Friend.
Many of the true friends of the Or
phan cause are farmers. To these we
would say word. Will you not set
apart this spring a small plot OF
ground, plant upon it whatever can
be profitably grown, cultivate it
faithfully and send the products or
the proceeds from their sale to an in
stitution which is maintaining the
orphan boys and girls OF the State?
If you do this it will greatly aid our
work and we are sure this labor of
love will be blessing to you and
your family. Feeding homeless chill
dren will never take bread from the
mouths of the loved ones of your
home We have Gods word for
that.
If you have a son to join with you
in the cultivation OF an orphans
acre" he will be taught a great and
impor amt lesson in service to human
ity. 1t is one of the truths which
must become part of his life if it
ever rises above struggle for none
but self and those bound to him by
the ties of blood.
When, prompted by a pure motive,
we help the helpless, our lives are en-
larged. Nothing is real, a lasting
blessing which fails to enrich, to
broaden, to deepen life. Eternally
true is it that it is more blessed to
give than to receive
Each one of US has been given
something in trust to be used for
Gods glory. Farmer friend, Gods
soil is given to you to be cultivated
for Him. Do not overlook the claims
upon you of little ones bereft of
home, of the necessities of life, left de-
pendent upon us.
Upon our Heavenly Father are we
all dependentfor daily food, for all of
the blessings of life-for life itself.
The fertile fields are His, from Him
must come the sunshine, the rain, the
fruitful season, the abundant harvest.
We work together with God in the
production of the necessities of life.
From His bounty all must be fed.
Will you not appropriate a part of
your best soil to be cultivated for the
benefit of these children? You will
thus render to God a true thanks
giving.

Work of the Pistol TOter.

The pistol ''toter" has had another
demonstration in Tarboro, which has
shocked the State equally as much as
the Raleigh shooting affair. These
things are becaming entirely too fire.
quent. Life is regarded with too lit
tie seriousness and the passions of
men are becoming unbounded. 1t is
all the work of envy, hatred or NAL
ice, that terrible trio from which all
good churchmen pray to be delivered,
for If these passions are allowed to
control men, either one of them will
lead him to ruin and destruction.
The law in regard to carrying guns
should be more rigidly enforced.
Where a feud exists, and it is known
that bad blood is boiling to the tenn
perature where the least friction will
cause an explosion, and parties carry
arms to avenge wrongs on each other,
friends on either side would do we'll
to intercede to save the passionate
ones from themselves. 1t would be
an act OF mercy to disarm them and
bring them to a sense OF laW-abiding
faith. There is a way to redress
wrongs without resorting to blood
shed, and throwing families and COM
munities into the horrors of awful
tragedies. 1t is better for the law to
lay it's hand on a man before he COM
mits a crime, than it is to deal with
him after he has done the deed and
left bleeding and aching hearts in the
wrke of a fellOwman slain. Enforce
rigidly, and to the fullest extent of
the law the pistol 'toter." And the
officers of the law should be more
vigilant in Watching out for them,
when there is reason to believe man
is carrying a pistol.-Durham Sun.
