Some one has started the story that
the Republicans ale going to do away
with the "Bowery." district that was
born and prospered under the kind care
and protection of the G.. o. p. and the
only reason given for such statement
being made Is that the real Democrats
started TIE campaign with this particular
object In view.
The Democrats and decent Republicans
are quite we'll aware of the fact that the
extent OF cleaning up the Bowery' will
be that NJ hotel licenses will be granted
but as hotels in that district have done
business days, nights and Sundays with
out hotoi or liquor license. the refusal
to grant them licenses by the next couR-
ell. does nos have much weight with
property owners. who are desirous of
making lne entire town clean"
The latest gossip is that Messrs. Ben
Jamn Wilson and Benjamin Martin have
cold feet" and said to have been caused
by the advent of Mr. w. l.. Sunderland
general manager OF the East Provi-
dence Republicans" for there have been
many moves made by Mr.. Sunderland
and his henchmen that Messrs. Wilson
and Martin do net heartily approve of.
and one little matter which seems TO be
overlooked is tina. nothing has been done
to frame un a town ticket which Messrs.
Wilson aEd Martin are very much inter
ested in, aud this. IL is said. is for the
reason that MIR. Sunderland cares but
little for tie town affairs. so long as he
can POSSIBLY do anything that will land

In The VALLEY Of the Yadkln.

In the valley of the Yadkin where the
morning glories bloom,
Where the airs cool and bracing at
the approach of harvest moon:
There I like to stop and listen to the
rivers murmur low,
In the valley of the Yadkin where the
mornin1glories grow.
In the valley of the Yadkin, when the
frost is in the air,
There is where I like to wander and to
drive away dull care.
There is something that inspires me as
I 'on my journey go,
In the valley of the Yadkin where the
morning glories grow.
In the valley of the Yadkin, where
grows the peech, plum and vine,
The corn, pumpkin and the apple, and
the lordly muscadine,
While the cotton fields are white and
the persimmon is aglow,
In the valley of the Yadkin where the
morning glories grow.
There is naught IN earth but gladness,
in this valley bright and fair,
There has never been a sadness for
it does not harbor there.
Where the air is cool and bracing, and
the fields are whit as snow,
In the valley of the Yadkin where the
morning glories grow.

FACTS ABOUT THE OCEAN.
Water Often Freezes From the Bottom
Upward,

The oceans occupy three-fourths
of the surface of the earth. A mile
down in the sea the water has a
pressure of a ton to every square
inch. If a box six feet deep was
filled with sea water, which was
then allowed to evaporate, there
would be two inches of salt left in
the bottom of the box. Taking the
average depth of the ocean to be
three miles, there would be a layer
Of salt 44O feet thick covering the
bottom, in case all the water
should e%vaporate. In many places,
especially in the far north, the
water freezes from the bottom up
ward. Waves are deceptive things.
To look at them one would gather
the impression that the whole
water travelled. This, however,
is not SO. The water stays in the
same place, but the motions go
on. In great storms waves are
sometimes forty feet high, and
their crests travel forty miles an
hour. The base of a wave (the
distance from valley to valley) is
usually considered al being fifteen
times the height of the wave.
Therefore, a wave twenty-five feet
high would have a base extending
375 feet. The force of waves
breaking on the shore is seventeen
tons to the sq6are inch,-Tit-Bits.

Statesville Landmark as follows:
Your airing Of "The Bad Debt
Agency's work in Statesville and
Iredell is touching a responsive
chord in the hearts of all good
citizens wherever your paper Is
read. Let the good work con-
tinue. (As has been explained,
not the unfortunate class, but the
indifferent and independent ones
are catching it. and they need to
catch it). If there is any differ
eNce between a thief and a man
who makes a debt and then works
and plans to not pay it, the thief is
the best man Of the two; or rath-
or, the man who won't pay his
debts when he can is the worst
man of the two. Newspaper men,
minister's, physicians, merchants,
and indeed all classes of u fell
low citizens, have suffered for
generations past because of many
peoples Indifference and blame
along this line. There are many
who pose as fairly good citizens
WHO are really worse. than sneak
thieves. The time is fully ripe
for puncturing this abomination
of denominations.
