How TO Clean Leather.

Do not use plain water on leather
chair seats or anything in the line of
leather, for it will make it hard and
inclined to crack. When the leather
needs polishing or cleansing use a
weak solution of soda and warm
water. After washing with this mix
ture rub thoroughly with good soap.
Rub this soap into the leather and
let it soften for couple of hours,
after which wash again with a weak
solution of warm water, soda and
yellow soap. Dry it quickly and it
will be soft and clean.

How to Cleanse Things with Potato

Raw potato juice is a first rate
cleanser. 1t will remove stains from
the hands, from wooden materials and
dirt from oil paintings. For the last
the right method is to cut raw pota-
to and to gently rub its cut side over
the painting, cutting slice off when.
ever the portion used has become dirty
The potato juice and dirt are finally re
moved with a soft sponge and cold wa
ter, but care must be taken not to wet
the back of the canvas.

The report of an official grain In
spector on the Chicago market is to
the effect that there is loss Of 1
cents per bushel on the oats shipped
from many localities In Iowa and 9TH
er states simply because Of the weed
seeds and other rubbish which the
grain may contain. It was also his
statement that the oats from certain
locality had been improved 80 per cent
in quality since the practice had be-
come general OF testing the seed and
blowing out the weed seeds and light
grain before sowing.

Paradise Lost and Won,

Many an amusing incident Of army
life is given in Lew Wallace's autobi-
ography. For example, he writes thus
Of tented Paradise" which was lost
and won at the battle of Shiloh: with
in our lines there was drinking tent,
on which was written Paradise IT
was taken by the Confederates In the
first days fight, and the victors wrote
beneath it's name Lost By Beaure-
CARDS order all camp furniture was
left intact, as he expected to possess
the whole field in the morrow's strug-
gle. The Union army recovered their
ground by the second days battle, the
pleasure tent was retaken, and to the
two names was added the word Re
gained"

last session. Mr.. Frank Linney, son OF
the Bull of the Brushes, was talked
of for a while as the probable candi-
date of his party, but he seems to have
been dropped. If all we hear of Mr..
Harshaw be true Mr. Hackett will have
an opponent worthy of his steel.
When the time comes to open the next
campaign it will be seen that the re-
publicans are determined to make a
desperate effort to capture one or more
of the districts In this state and to
prevent a solid democratic delegation
in the sixty-first congress. The demo-
Gratis had just as we'll recognize this
fact and be on the alert. 1t behooves
them to keep their eyes open and to
see to it that the very best men in
the party are nominated to congress,
and for the other Offices. One may
belittle the republican party of the
south as much as he pleases, but all
the same it is growing In strength.

THE COTTON CROP.

The men who are guessing at the
size of the present cotton crop claim
that because of the heavy frosts there
will be no more cotton to mature;
that "al1 the returns are in. and,
therefore, accurate estimates as to the
number of bales can be made. The
estimates are of a crop of between
eleven million and twelve million bales
If these mems estimates are correct it
looks like cotton ought to be worth
more than the present market price
The world will need more than twelve
million bales before the next crop can
be put on the market. In face OF
these facts farmers should market the
crop gradually. This will keep the
prices up. Hoarding cotton will do no
good; in fact, will be to the disadvant-
age of the farmers, If the hoardings are

REMEMBER THE ORPHANS

The thanksgiving season has been,
by general consent, set apart in this
state as a time of special effort for
and aid to our orphans. This is a
beautiful way in which to make prac-
tical expression of gratitude for the
many blessings enjoyed during the
year. That season is fast approaching
in which the orphans in the several
homes in our state look forward with
pleasant anticipation of the remem
brances OF the charitable among our
people. We hope these little unfortu-
nate ones will meet with no disap-
pointment this year; that they will
be remembered by the more fortunate
ones and their hearts be made glad
by the good things sent them as well
as by the consciousness that in the
swirl of business and of pleasure in
the outside world they have not been
forgotten. Besides the happiness these
thanksgiving offerings bring to the
inmates OF these homes, they are real
and very important factor in the main

DETERIORATION OF CIGAR
BRANDS.
The Tobacco Trust Systematically
Imposes Upon the Customer by
Killing Well-Known Brands

The Trust has secured the owner
ship of almost every well-known
brand of Havana, Key West and
domestic cigars, brands that have
been familiar for years upon years
to all smokers and that for years
upon years have maintained an even
degree of excellence. Many good
judges of tobacco claim that under
the names of these brands the Trust
puts forth steadily a worse quality
of goods, until at last the brand
dies. Their theory is the trust has
sold great quantities OF the brand.
these goods have been produced at
perhaps one-third of the original
cost, and the profits have been enor-

So far has this work been carried
that some OF the brands of cigarettes

OUR FISHING INTERESTS

The Messenger is in receipt OF a
handsomely bound and printed book
entitled North Carolina Geological and
Economic Survey" being the second
volume of the series which consists
of a full write-up of The Fishes OF
North Carolina" and is handsomely and
profusely illustrated. We are indebt-
ed for this courtesy TO Mr.. Joseph
HYDE Pratt, state geologist. The book
is the work of Messrs. Hugh NJ. Smith
deputy United States commissioner OF
fisheries, and MI Pratt, and is from
the presses of E. NJ Uzzel1 & Co, CT
Raleigh, state printers and binders.
It is a very interesting publication and
one from which much slseful knoWi-
edge and interesting information can
be secured. The state and the federal
government are taking great pains and
spending much money in the fostering
of the fishing industry OF the coast
sections of our states, and it is money
well spent for there is big money
for the people in this occupation and
the dual governments should do all
they can to foster the various fishing
enterprises. Information is what tne
neople need and state and federal
Governments are doing what they can
to furnish it.

DEFINITIONS OF A GOOD MAN.
According to the Gospel of Thomas
w. Lawson.

Every good man says May II" to
the weak and Il will to the strong,
and he never forgets that his body,
as we'll as his soul, is his charge,
which must be returned undefiled.
A good man approaches king
on his feet and women on his knees.
He curses and commands in prose,
and grants and courts in poetry.
He wears a brake on his passions,
and gears his love to the sun, the
moon, and the stars.
A good man is always sorry for
his own tininess and glad OF the
other fellows bigness.
He measures his wants by his
possessions and his friends necessi-
ties; he knows no hunger or thirst,
no happiness while his women-folks
or his friends seek, and he insists
that the obligation of his friend be
written in chalk while he styluses
his own in indellible INK.
A good man seldom has three
eyes, and abominates double-decked
sleeves. He never extracts rabbits
from his neighbors' ears, but neither
| does he allows them to mix omelets
| in his headgear. He knows two and
| two make four, not three or eleven.
| He deals from the top, gives the
| other fellow his cut, never welches
| on the kitty, but he does insist upon
checks being redeemed at pot value
No good man ever gets his gamb-
ling and his business money tangled
or his Bible and his cardcase mixed
or ever drops an unredeemed poker
chip into the contribution box
| He is one who talks in the 81
think"-"You know" language.
He writes / small and You large
! yells Them" and whispers me-

and smoking-tobaccos formerly best
known have disappeared entirely
from the market. Every day the
consumer finds greater difficulty In
discovering a cigar store outside of
the Trust; every day n greater pro-
portion of the retail business is seiz-
ed by the Trust. Great, glittering,
brilliantly lighted stores, aAerly
worded advertisements, ~ ious
promises of low prices, attratN and
delude the consumer; IL does not
seem possible that bad goods can
come from such imposing, places.
With much cunning the I'd }rrst has
brought into the business the infu-
ence of women. Initiating the trad
ing-stamp device, ii holds forth
bribes in the shape OF coupons that
are exchangeable for articles OF
household use, and thus IL induces
women to urge their husbands to
buy at Trust stores. AS the Trust,
by the use of inferior tobacco, by
making large purchases, and by rob
bing the producer, has an abnormal
margin of profit, 1t can of course
| we'll afford these bribes.-Charles

Of the reform movement" when
he and Colonel Leonidas Polk's son-ln-
law got the public printing (or rather
the latter thought ne was getting Il
share in it, but found out that he was
mistaken) and again, later on, when
some democrats were dickering with
Marion Butler and his lieutenants OF
the populist party and were doing their
utmost to form such an alliance be-
tween the two parties as would place
Butler and certain democrats favoring
the alliance in control of both parties.
