\ Great SatiriSt.

A new and attractive life of William
Hogarth by G. Baldwin Brown, has
just been published by Charles Serb
ner's Sons. The great artist is treated
not merely as a satirist, but in a
BROADER way as one of the makers of
British art, because he was one of the
first outstanding personalities of the
English school of painting. Although
we are most familiar with his satirical
pictures like the series of THE Rake's
Progress" THE Idle Prentice" and
Marriage a la Mode" yet Hogarth
also attempted and successfully too,
both portraits and the monumental
figure compositions characteristic of
his time. He was a simple, lovable
little man. quick in retort and yet gem
erous in temper, whose robust and
sturdy temperament as we'll as his un-
doubted genius made him we'll worth
knowing. The illustrations in the
book give an excellent idea of the va
riety and quality of the artists work,
and the text, written in a pleasant and
yet both accurate and moderate way,
furnishes a satisfactory account of the
man as well as of the artist.

The most dangerous of foes are
those who approach you under the

same way habits that break the will
and wreck the body are contracted.
The victim does not know that the
habit has gone beyond his control un-
til it has seized him by the throat
and made him, it's slave. One mans
experience in escaping from SO de-
grading a thraldom is told in the fol-
lowing letter:

cannot be over estimated. After the
good people OF North Carolina had
driven out the Scalawags and Carpet
baggers who debauched the State af-
ter Reconstruction, the Wisest men
took counsel how to prevent a return
10 the domination of the Eastern
counties by negro rule and how to let
Intelligence and Honesty rule in the
State. From Greensboro to the ocean
the vast negro vote, added to the
Scalawag and Carpet-bag votes, could
absolutely control most counties. Their
control meant corruption and almost
confiscation. The necessity of import
ant action was admitted and it was de-
termined to call a Constitutional Con-
Vention and an election for delegates
to the Convention was ordered to be
held in August, 1875. No more i'm
portant election has been held in
North Carolina i'm its entire history.
General William r. Cox, who had led
the last charge at Appomattox, was
made leader of the Democratic forces
and the fight was waged with determi-
nation. Every negro and Scalawag
Carpet Dagger was lined up to keep
things SO the East would be pillaged
and ruined. In the West the Repub-
lican party was strong, particularly in
those counties that had opposed Sc
cession in 1861. The Democrats had
no money and its leaders We're poor.
Governor Vance actually had to fail
10 meet a few appointments because
he did not have the cash to pay his
expenses. But he and others. with
great sacrifice fought as they had
fought in battle. 1t was known that
full. The Republicans were plentiful
ly helped with funds from the North
and they had the most effective or
ganization they have at any time per-
fected in North Carolina. They had
able speakers of all colors and shades,
from Judge Tourgee and Judge Settle
to Jim Harris and James e. O'Harra.
When the polls closed the leaders of
both parties soon saw that the fate of
the Constitutional Convention depend
ed upon Robson county. 1t was the
largest county in the State, the roads
were bad. and many voting precincts
were remote from the railroad sta
lions, and the telephone had not been
invented. How has Robson gone? ''
was the question asked everywhere by
patriots and by Radicals. The fate of
North Carolina for twenty years hung
in the balances and Robson county
would determine whether North Caro-
linians should rule North Carolina or
whether it should be ruled by aliens,
negroes and Scalawags. Robson was
holly contested. No county had truef

posed to them was a big negro popu-
lation and determined Scalawags
Many of its good people, uneducated
were in doubt as to what course to
pursue. They voted white and saved
the State. In the days when the

State was in the agony of suspense,
General Cox, State Democratic Chair
man, sent telegram to another brave
ex-Confederate soldier, to apprise him
that Robeson's vote would save the
State for Good Government, or that
Good Government was lost General
Cox knew-and the whole State knew
the desperation of the enemy and
that they could steal the county unless
the Democrats were determined, reso
lutte, aggressive. He sent the telegram
to the right man. He showed it TO
spirits as brave as any that charged
at the angle of the stone fence at
Gettysburg. They met the enemy;
they routed him, and North Caro-
lima enjoyed Peace and Good Govern
ment for twenty years because Robe
son sent two honest and patriotic
Democrats to the Constitutional Con-
vention If Robesons two Radicals
had been elected, they would have
controlled the Constitutional Conven-
ton of 1875. and set back the progress
of North Carolina as the 1868 Consti-
tutional Convention had done.
1t will be observed that the telegram
reads: "As you love your State, hold
Robeson," instead of the words Hold
Robson and save the State" The
meaning was the same. Robson was
held, the State was saved and all true
North Carolinians owe a debt of graft
tude to the brave men of that great
county.

"A depositor in a neighboring trust
company is an eccentric farmer of
middle age. This farmer, though he
is wealthy, overdrew his account one
day to the tune of $500.
Notification of the Overdraft was
at once sent to him. He replied:
"'You tell me | have overdrawa

what is the necessity of bothering me
