Thrift vs. Hospitality.

The Roanokc-Chowan Times, of Rich

uniu,ic Item Of news from a correspond
cnt who is obviously n Quaker:
| "Benjamn p. Brown and wife returned
last Soventhday from an extended trip
through pennsy lvania. New Jersey New
York and Canada. Brother Brown and
wife, who arc thorough southerncrs aud
devoted 10 the interests Of thalr own
state, having spent their lives at much
hnrd labor In this county, where the
toll of their hands hns been much re-
warded, enjoyed to the fullestF@xtent. q

they arc Inclined to reduce everything

Canada and In tho Northern States,
preacher Brown often saw spring chick
ems In abundance in the yards. but sHl-
dom did he get to sample them on me
table; and 1t Is n fact very observable
to ali that Northern people do not put
Mucn stress OH ldDlet sOue
on money nc cumulation.5
That reminds us Of the hot biscuit"
discussion, but do not throw up your
hands dear reader, for we are not going
TO revive 1t. But this honely illustra-
tlon serves right we'll to point out
characteristic difference between North
crncrs and Southerners. Farmers at the
iol,o n coli At
tho South raise chickens to cat. North
arm farmers are thrifty; Southern farm
crs are prodigal. Northern farmers think
of tho money the chickens VIII bring
IL served on the table of some one else;
Southern farmers think more OF tho
pleasure TO be derived in serving the
chicken on their own table. Northern
farmers do not feel called upon to sacri-
fee money-fetching chickens to @hospl-
talty; Southern farmers have nothing
too good for a guest. Go out tomorrow
ana take dinnar with your friend In the
country, and you will get the latest
chicken on the place with all the accom-
raniments from the garden and after
dinner the most luscious melon In the
spring will be cut for your taste, and
If one does not satisfy, the whole patch
will be at your disposal. 1t is Il pity
that the Southern farmer is not more
thrifty; it is a pity that lie does not
learn from his Northern brother how to
make everything on the farm pay. But
when he learns the Lesson, as he will
by and by, God forbid that his delight
full hospitality become tainted by his
thrift, 1t is as fragrant as his own
fried chicken; as refreshing as his juiciest
melons

violative of spirit Of the act and
evasive OF the purpose of the Legisla-

simple analysis of the position taken
by Mr.. Williams. to-wit: If he has the
right to payuonetman $25 to work for a
certain candidate. 1t necessarily follows
that he has, thesame right to pay ten
men $3.50 each to render similar service
and that Is meraly a teuphemlsm for
election bribery. Then the law falls. and
the State rcverts to the old campaign
methods, with the use of money corrupt-
ly in elections, only with little more Sc
crecy, decentralization and evasion.

ment will be tempered with mercy, and
that the principle which he appears to
contend for will receive the emphatic
displeasure Of the majesty which It seems
