ONCE UPON JAN. 18th

If painter, composer or inventor
OF notable talents dies in poverty,
many are prone to jump to the con-
clusion that it is the inevitable fate
of the great artist to starve in a gar
ret, unappreciated by the insensate
world.
Yet there never has been an age
when the artist (meaning the talent
ed practitioner of any of the seven
arts) was not able to earn handsome
compensation more easily than any
artisan or learned doctor The world
has always paid it's actors, painters,
poets, composers and others playing
upon its sympathies, rather better
than those devoted to improving it's
mind or attending to it's necessities.
And if the artist dies poor it is most
likely because of his own improvid-
ence and vices.
Many words and tears have been
wasted over the fact that Stephen
Foster, composer of many of our most
popular songs,died 76 years ago to-
day, in the pauper's ward of Bellevue
Hospital, New York. His BODY Law un
recognized and unclaimed in the CITY

ia the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Jan. 13.-Your correspon-
dent is more or less patting himself
on the back for having started some
thing with an article on the acquittal
of "bookmakers" in Salisbury and
other cities of the State.
Of course the article, which point
ed out that the bookies might be pro-
secuted under the common law for
running gaming houses, may not have
had anything to do with the fact that
the solicitor for the district in which
Salisbury is located has proceeded
along the lines suggested and has OF
tanned an order from Judge Wilson,
Warlick ordering the bookies to show
cause why they should not be perma-
nently enjoined from carrying on their
practices.
Nevertheless, the fact remains that
this action did follow the article men
toned.
1t would be quite interesting to have
the matter taken to the Supreme
Court of North Carolina. At the risk
of running afoul of the very gambling
laws under discussion, your CORES
pendent would wager a cookie or even
pack of cigarettes that the book
makers would get scant comfort there
Speaking of the Supreme Court, at
taches there are enjoying time out
so to speak, between the Fall and

handed down February 2, the court

Information on the same day.
Thereafter the Spring term will be-
gin with oral arguments of cases frnm

Troy Barnes, Wilson, first candidate
to pay his entrance fee for a 1888 pri-
mary race, faces no small task in his
campaign to unseat Congressman
John Kerr in the second COMPRESSION
al district.
In his announcement for the race
Mr.. Barnes fairly exudes confidence
and there is no gainsaying the fact
that he. is a strong vote-getter down
his way.
On the other hand, Judge Kerr
knows his way acout the political
jungles also as A. o. Dickens, Barnes
fellow townsman, can testify. The in
cumbent is no set-up for anybody. F1e
has played his cards skillfully and has
steered a careful course between the
radical sentiment which exists in
Wilson and some other counties anc
the conservatism" of Northampton
and other counties in the northern tier
of the district.
