THE SECRET OF MY MARRIED
HAPPINESS.

When l got married. says a writer in
the New York American, my friends
rallied around me and gave me a good
sendoff. I didn't need to ask them;
they got wind of the wedding date, and
came along without any hesitation, and
/ dare say each one now believes that
but for her support I should never
have weathered the storms of matri-
mony.
My wedding day was just ten years
ago. A fortnight before the ceremony
my second cousin, who was twenty
nine and unmarried, dropped in to con-
graduate me.
And now. dear" she said. turning
serious, 'let me give you few hints.
Whatever you do, stick up for your
rights. George is a very good fellow,
I've no doubt. but men are very diff
ferent after marriage. Don't be bull
lied or browbeaten. Fight for your
freedom and an equal footing in the
home. Give back blow for blow. Set
your teeth, and show what you are
made Of. Marriage is a terrible I'M
dertaking, and not the perpetual hol
iday most silly girls think it is. Keep
a good heart and a strong arm, and
you may weather it,"
l must say that l was glad when
she went, though l began to look much
more seriously to the future, especially
when my other friends started to lift
the veil and show me married life in
its terrible reality.
My bosom chum, who was also unwed
but from whom I expected comfort,
rather upset me in her efforts to be
kind
"Of course, dear" she said, you
will quarrel; everybody does that.
The best thing to do, I've found, is
never to give in. Charlie Watkins and
had the most fearful tiffs, but 1 won
every time, for l never would give in"
Then l went to dear old dad, and
cried and confided my doubts. He
laughed at all they had said.
George is good fellow" he said.
You go along in your own way; treat
him we'll and he'll treat you we'll"
That's the advice l followed and
here l am, after ten years, as happy a
Wife as there is in the land.
George has not wanted to put me
on the footing of slave, nor to as
sert that he is master of the house and
/ am 'only his wife" He has never
wanted to cut down my housekeeping
money, nor to go out playing billiards
all the evening, nor to quarrel with me
over nothing.
But l have taken pains to treat
him WE'LL" He has earned an income
for both of us, and have done my best
to be a loving companion and a good
housewife. l have practiced economy,
worked well and cheerfully. and kent
a smiling face

A WHITEWASHING PROPOSED.

AS soon as it became apparent that the
honest Congressman, who had been mis-
represented in the Bristow report, would
not be silent under the imputations upon
their personal and political integrity, the

of a few of the grafters who have no

the whole power of the administration has
been exerted to prevent Congressional
inquiry. Cannon and Overstreet told the
President that the Bristow report had
raised such a storm of indignation that

A. & N. C. R. R. STOCK.

A few days ago several shares Of stock
of the Atlantic and North Carolina Rail
road were sold at public auction in Kin
ston. 1t belonged to the heirs of Anthony
Davis and was sold for division among
the heirs. The stock brought an average
of forty dollars share and one share
brought SAT. These amounts are about
twice as much as the stock sold for in
1898. AS soon as the sale was made. the
railroad organs. in their absurd zeal to
justify the unwarranted receivership,
made the claim that the advance in the
price of stock was due to the receiver
ship appointment 1t was so absurd
statement as to disgust all men who
know anything about the true situation.
The real truth about the sale and the
price is contained in the following article
in the Kinston Free Press:
1.-THE majority of the A. G N. c.. stock
sold here on Monday last was purchased
by parties who have faith in the value of
the read.
bought the stock feeling sure that the
receivership would be vacated, and that
the road would revert to its own proper
officials They declare that they believe
the stock is worth the figure paid, and
that this condition has been brought
about by its late management"
The people of North Carolina do not
believe, when the facts appear, that the
owners of the property will be deprived
of its management, and therefore they are
ready to pay good prices for the stock
If the property were in half as bad condi
tlon as Finch alleges, the stock would
have gone down instead of going up fifty
per cent and more before the appointment
OF a receiver.

This action virtually amounts to confis-

NO LAW FOR RECEIvERSHIP.

The Morning Post is unfortunate in its
enumeration of property that has been
thrown into the hands of a receiver.
Judge Brown acted in the case of the
University road on the application of
creditors The r. & d. Railroad was
thrown into the hands of receiver in
order to let the wreckerss, calling them
selves reorganizers, make a fortune by
the process. There is a big fight now on
in Norfolk over the appointment OF a
receiver for the Tunis Lumber Company.
The correct rule is to appoint receivers
only when creditors or others show that
it is necessary to preserve the property,
and Judge Simonton laid down the rule in
the case of the Worth Manufacturing
case against receiverships In such cases
as the McBee Receivership.
The well established rule is not to ap-
point a receiver for property except on
three conditions: 1. Where there is danger
of the removal of property beyond the
jurisdiction of the court; g. Where the
corporation cannot be found; 8. Where
it is nonresident and is removing its
property or doing some other act which
would be greatly injurious, and which
would be accomplished in the delay ne
cessary to giving notice. Not one of these
conditions was present when Judge Pur-
nell-in the city of Norfolk, Va, and
outside of his jurisdiction-upon the APP:
plication of a mere speculator who did
not legally own share of stock, put the
road in the hands of nonresident
speculator who had made an offer to lease
the road. The Judge admitted the lille
gality of the act in Virginia, and fastened
to Raleigh, and did over again all he had
done at Norfolk. He is quoted as saying
that he doubted his authority and act at
Norfolk, but they insisted upon it" and
he issued the illegal order. 1t was an
order not warranted either by the law or
the facts. If it can stand every solvent
corporation in the State is at the mercy
of any Wireless Telegraphy speculator
and Federal Judge.
