TURNlP GREENS BETTER THAN
STRAWBERRIES.
TURNIP

What is one mans meat is another
man poison and there's no accounting
Tor taste" have developed into maxims.
One man dimes royalty on pot-licker, jowl,
aud green's and the other must have ter
rapln and canvass backs with champagne.
After the war. when the military had
sway over North and South Carolina,
the head of the army located in Charles
ton invited or commanded Governor
Worth, of North Carolina and Governor
Orr, of South Carolina, to visit him at
prince and entertained the two Gov
errors royalty. They hadn't been ac-
customed in war times and the succeed
ing months to any except the simplest
diet, and one day, after a course dinner
to music, lasting several hours, Governor
Orr said to Governor Worth: I'D give
of jowl and greens at my home. Soon
both had an opportunity to eat jowl and
greens at their home, for Reconstruction
measures legislated both of them out of
office.
The incident above is recalled by the
following in the Marshville Home:
Strawberries have a fine flavor but
we'd rather have turnip greens in the
spring of the year than all of the quality
dishes iyou can put together. Tulnip
greens and corn bread Is more like liv-
ing-and doing well. One of our neigh
boris hogs destroyed a turnip patch in
the community last winter Upon re-
ceipt of advice of how his hogs were
working destruction to his neighbours tur-
nip patch he said he'd rather pay the
damage and let his hogs continue to run
cur. 1t it had been our turnip patch
h wouldn't have been able to pay the
damage, for that's one thing at our
house that's not for sale, nor for hogs
to eat. either, unless our gun gets so
it won't shoot But maybe everybody
does not put as high estimate on spring
turnip green's as we do. If we couldn't
get them any other way we'd take them
on subscription to the paper, especially
on slow debts
Same way here. But our contemporary
has failed to add the third course neces-
sary to make corn bread and green's a
dish fit for the gods-fresh buttermilk.
Given these three with a rasher of jowl,
what epicurean could ask for anything
better?

WILL BE WIDELY APPROVED.

The State of North Carolina never in
vested any money in immortal mind that
has paid such a large and quick a divi-
dend on the investment as the money it
has put IN the State Normal and Indus

The whole State felt the disaster to
that popular institution when it's chief
building fell victim to the flames a few
weeks ago. Yesterday the Council of
State, under the law authorizing them
to pledge the credit of the State in
cases of extreme emergency or dire ne
oessity'' authorized a loan to rebuild
upon modern plans to the end that the
college will open on large scale at the
fall session of this year. This action will
be widely approved.

Is it mere coincidence that the ag-

that the Judge granting the receivership

In the history of the world, no country

France after its defeat and losses in the
Franco Prussian war;
In the history of cities, no city has
rallied more rapidly or more bravely

the city of Baltimore. Some days ago

splendid spirit of progress and how
Southern people could best help the re-

ROCKY MOUNTS LOSS.

The fire at Rocky Mount yesterday
morning involves a considerable loss upon
that solid and growing town-easily one
of the most prosperous of the large
towns in Eastern North Carolina. They
were large, modern and elegant buildings

TOADIES HAVING
HARD TINE, BUT TRYING TO
EARN THEIR MONEY.

Charlotte News.
The corporation papers ara having a
hard time of it defending the outrage OF
the receivership. It is not that the At
lantic and North Carolina railroad was
not in need of a change of adm'nistra-
t:on. but that without any notice or
warning to the overwhelming majority OF
the stockholders, the road Should have
been thrown into the hands OF a receiver.
There was too much midnight businf IS,
too much snap judgment about the Who'll"
proceeding to suit people with ordinary
fairness of mindl How any one not
col poration toady by instinct can t9I 10
see the iniquity of this proceeding Is
BEYOND us The man who is trying 10
lease the road from the stockholders and
whose bid is turned down for better
ore, suddenly bobs up in the conspiracy
by which he is made receiver of the road.
And the worst part OF 1t Is that any cor
poration, under that precedent, may be
put into the hands of a receiver Oh the
complaint of a disgruntled or Interested

THE A. AND N. c. WRECKERSHIP.
New Bern Journal
1t has only taken two working days
to develop the fact that the Atlantic and
North Carolina Railroad receivership
would better be termed wrecllership, as
every effort has been made and is being
made to prove that this roads presi-
dent, Its directors, its agents and the
Governor of the State were conducting
this property upon an untrue and mis-
represented basis, and were putting this
property into state of bankruptcy
through their poor management and ad-
yisement.

has also developed the purpose to mis-
represent the affairs Of III road I'm

BEST REASON YET GIVEN.
mnhis Commercial-Appeal./

Memphis CommercIal-Appeal./
A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
Times has suggested that Mr.. Roosevelt
shoufd be reelected so that he can cor
rect his mistake. This. we believe. just
about reaches the high water ma1k of
American humor for the season. The
plain, sober minded citizen has always
had an idea that the man who makes
costly mistakes ought to be succeeded by
the man who doesn't make any mistakes,
if it is possible to secure such person;
but the correspondent of the Times would
have us believe that this is all wrong. The
general who blindly leads his troops into
ambush should be given another oppor-
tunity so that he may avoid leading them
once more into ambush. The engineer
who neglects his task and blows I'D a
steamboat, should be placed in charge OF
another boat so that he can repair the
mistake The man who has killed an IN
nocent bystander should be supplied with
a fresh gun so that he may be able to
perforate the right fellow. The merchant
who. by a mistakenation, has bankrupted
his firm, should be kept at It's head when
it is reorganized in order that he may
avoid the mscalcuations of the past. The
cashier who has fled to Canada should be
brought back and given his old position
in order that he may not rob the bank
again; and the legislator who has sold
out should be reelected in order that 1t
NAV not occur second time. The sug-
gestion is sufficiently humorous, but 1t
hardly seems applicable to practical lie.

World, was written by E. l.. Ide and

There's a constant agitation
In our halls. of legislation

or wrongs retold
When they ought to pull together
Be it storm or pleasant weather.
For the one must do the toiling while the
other pays the gold.
But a class of men, my brother.
Stands between the one and other
And affairs without their counsel into
chaos would be hurled
1t is tlpey Who quarrels spurning.
Keep the wheels of progress turning.
Fer the hand upon the throttle is the
hand that moves the world
Hear the factory whistles sounding.
Over hill and vale resounding;
Ti$ the call for busy workers to the
never ending task
.Of exchanging life and health, sir,
For small per cent of wealth, sir,
That their loved ones may be sheltered,
tbs the only boon they ask.
Hear the busy spindles humming,
Hear the hammers pounding, drumming
See the sheets of snow-white paper from
those rolls so swiftly whirled,
But behind this noise and hustle
Stands the man of nerve and muscle,
For the hand upon the throttle is the
hand that moves the world.

But the giant power obeys him as it
turns the countless wheels.

Rough experience is his teacher
He is not a dude or dandy, with his mus

But, though not a thing of beauty,
You will find him true to duty,
Fer the hand upon the throttle is the
hand that moves the world.
Everywhere you'll find them working,
Never striking, never Sinking,
Ever watchful, brave and quiet by their
engines, clean and bright,
Though outside he's grimmed with

There's inside heart of peace, sir,
And the wheels will be kept turning.

RICE EATING FIGHTERS.

The main article of food for Japanese
soldiers is rice. 1t is palatable, nutri-
tious, easily carried and can be quickly
prepared in camp note from the Far
East saws:
"A single pack horse can carry
enough rice to feed company of Japan
csc soldiers for a week, and, if the pack
horse fail, each soldier carries enough
rice in a bag to last him for several
days.
The Savannah Morning News advises
the authorities at Washington to con-
slider the advisabihty of adding rice to
the army ration, or substituting it in
place of something less valuable and
handy" That is good advice. and it
ought to be brought to the attention of the
authorities. The larger use of rice would
help the soldier and at the same time
help the South. The consumption of rice
in the North and West ought to be cul-
tivatcd. If rice were grown in Wisconsin
instead of Louisiana it would have been
on the army ration long ago.
