Dellmea by ex-Crsv. I. J, JMTU at Tsr- ed by the alarming act of one wick- ed man.

Many or you, no doubt, will re- member the iueident I am tow going to relate. In one of the mountain sections of our great country au im- mense dam had been thrown across a great valley. Below this mighty dam the fertile valley was thickly populated. Above it the waters or a great lake were conflued. Two lads for sport and play cut a small trench across the dam and iu the glee they saw a liny stream shoot across it aud lall into the mighty dvjJtns beliw. This little channel was the opening, tbe weakening point, and when the rains descend- ed the dam was uo louger able to resist tho pressure fiom above. It gavo away and the long confined waters rushed madly through this opening into tbe valley below, sweeping man and beast before them aud leaving desolation behind them.

When the Southern people were nearly exhausted by four years of devastating war and were prepar- ing to resume t' eir allegiance to the governmeut Ol their lath rs, Abraham Lincoln stood ready with his big heart and outstretched aims to welcome them home. Had he lived the South had been spared the dark days ol reconstruction and < ur country that dark page in its histo- ry, but in a moment or madness he was stricken dowu and for long a id weary years the military satrips and the enveiuoned politicians plundered and cursed an unarmed people. In her weakness the South needed tho warm heart, the gi -at brain and the mighty influence of the one man who bad tho will and the power to stay the tide ol pus- ion which was ready to be turned loose upon Ihom by those who kepi out of hanu's way while the battle raged. But, alas ! he had I alien, and that too at the verv moment when the South most needed him, and six in111 nhi of people were made to drink the very dregs of the bitter cup of reconstruction.

God, iu His Goodness, made the whea', the rye, tbe barley aud the corn to sustain human lite and to feed His creatures, bat man has made out of these a liqnid which sets the brain on Ore, barns up the vital energies and destroys soul and body.

Our merciful Father, iu ilis provisions for us, has given these things in great abundance that plenty might dwell in every

boro on the Occasion of the Cele- bration of the Anniversary

of the Order.

NtMe Grand, Brothers. IJKIICS and Gentlemen:

I have heard it said that the nov- elist first writes his story and theu names it; and the more high sound- iug the uaino selected, the more saleable ho hopes to make his book. As I do not come to you to day with a romauce, I shall not follow tho example of the writer of tier ion. I have prepared a simple story—so simple that it may iw understood by a child and yet, I hope it may not be entirely void of interest, even to those who miglic have told it better. It is designed to be a faithful uarrative of human affairs, as tliey are felt and seen iu actual life. Some one has said that the World needs to be reminded more tliac to be instructed. II this ad- dress shall promote reflection and tend to remind us of our obligates and to stimulate us to a more faithful performance of' them our meeting to-day will not have been in vain. With these brici remarks, and without further introduction to it, 1 announce my subject to be.

MAN S OBLIGATION TO MAN.

This subiect, as any one must readily see, opens up a broad field for thought and investigation and it. at first, I shall seem to be wan- dering away from the pmposes Icr wliich we have assembled I shall hope, before 1 close to make ray osbservation appear appropriate to the occasion. Another sugges- tion may not be out of place just here. It may be that during the progress of my address I may say something which, in tbe opinion of some, may not lie in harmony with the occasion, and with which each one cannot agree. If so I beg that I alono shall be held responsi- ble for it. as my individual act, aud that the order to whioh 1 belong aud whose anniversary we celebrate shall not in auy wise be held ac- countable. 1 say this i»ecausb my address is not a beautitul told story of the uoble aims and splendid achievement* of Odd Fellowship. It is rather designed to emphasise some practical lessons growing out. of the subject I have choseu.

Whether men admit their obliga- i ions to each other or not they exist, aud a moment'- reflection must im- press auy one! with the fact, that no man hvetb unto himself. From the day Cain asked his father the ques tiou "am I my brother's keeper" the sacred Scriptures have taught the diviue lesson of the great brother- hood of man ; end the best guides to human thought aud human ac- house, but by man's wicked use of

Gov. Hill, bf New Y ork, has spoil- ed a good many campaign ptories by stating that he iutended being in bis seat in the United States Senate when that body meets in December, and that bo has no idea of again being a candidate for gov- ernor. He ought to know some-* thing about this.

Great Scott ! Is the country again to go through what so nause- ated the average newspaper reader daring the first half of 1838; when, one day flaming headlines would tell as that Blame was at deaths door, and I he next we would be In- formed by the same methods that be was iu good health 1 There are indications that Mr. Blaine's health is again to be made tbe footfall of tbe sensational press. Geutiemeu, jq the name of humanity lot up. We are politically opposed to Mr- Blame, bat that i» no reason for torturing him slowry to death by a noatinooas disoassion of the proba- bility of bis death from a complica- tion of all the imaginable diseases. There is no man so strong that be cannot be killed by such meth- ods; but the methods «iro worthy pidy of ravages.

«Uf fjpnrse f an? ma*ter," s«ys Kaiser William, of Germany, to himself, "bat as discretion M the better part or valor, I'll just adjonrn the B4eusti»g gets a chance to take MMt'

tion teach us of its binding obliga- tions. Yea more. Our own good sense and our conscience, if it be not seared as with a hot iron, teach us that these obligations will be greater or less in proportion to our ability aud opportnuity to perform them.

Iudeed, ladies and gentlemeu, human society is so constituted that tbe evil which one man does often affects scores of others and the good which another does, brings comfort and happiness to tbe hearts aud homes of many. Tbe relations we sustain to each other in our social political and bosiness life are so in- terlocked aud interwoven that one bad man has it in his power to in- juriously effect the lives aud for- toues of hundreds of his fellow men, and a good mau may set in mo- tion iuflueces aud forces which shall live and grow aud bless tbe world long after he has been gath- ered to his fathers I. a me give jou a few striking illustrations which will enforce the lessons I am seeking to emphasize, better than any general disgqssion of them could do.

We have here a spleudid building and a beautiful ball. It is an orna- ment to your cultured town aud a credit to the liberality and pro- gressive spirit of those who project- ed it. It did net spring jnto ex- istence in a moment nor was it paid lor with a song. Qay by day it grew under tbe handiwork of the tollers and at no trifling cost to tbe good people ot Tarboro, The care- less use of a match or a nasty little cigarette may destroy it in an boar and its charred and blackened roms may speak mutely of tbe injury that may be done a whole commonity by the recklessness or wickedness of a Single judlvidual.

Again. We brve here a gather- ing of beauty and bravery to which auy community might point with pride and, like tbe mother of the Gracchi says "these are my jewels,"

ginning on earth and which shall have Us ending iu Heaven.

From what has already been said I draw two important lessons which I wish to emphasize. Tbe first is we live for good or evil. There is uo such thing in this life is stand- ing still. Wc cannot, if wo would, shut ourselves up and live entirely to ourselves. Day by day and year by year we are influencing the lives of those with whom we come in contact and so Bre they ours. While it is true that we are all largely creatures of circumstances it is also true that some one has much to do with making these circumstances; and that they must be held respon- sible in this life and in the life to come foi the circumstances and in- fluences by which they surrounded us. Aud so are we to be held re- sponsible iu the sight of God and mau for the circumstances aud in- fluences by which we others.

The second lesson which I wish lo emphasize grows naturally out of the first and it is this, «we are deep- ly interested iu each other.'' If we influence or effect each other's lives theu we. are interested iu each other. Yea moie. Society is interested, and deeply nj tcrestcil, in the. daily | ten life aud conduct ol each individual member or that community, and as society is but an aggregation ol' individuals so each individual is interested ii| the wh"lu a-'d the whole in each- There is not iu this entire community a single person so humble, so poor, so iusigninoant or so abandoned, iu whose life aud conduct, the whole community does

emphasize as a safe guide iu fulfill-; bids hint go out In the world and ing our obligations to our fellow administer to tho wants of those

who most need hr ministration. Truth, with its lull light turned

upon htm, exposes tbe false ami ex-

tols the true aud, amid scenes he

can forget, teaches him that brother

men, unlike the first, requires ac- tion and it is this: "Seek to do good to others." It is here that the true secret of genuine pleasure is to he found. Those who simply re- frain from doing harm take a low I view or human existence and orj must discharg his duties to brother their obligations to their fellow inou., i" friendship aud love. Such persons can never kuow tbe j He outers upon his life as an Odd inward joy of a noble life.

tions aud duties, without being a are blessed with property. The oue observes the rale of doing no harm, the other that ol scekiug to do good. The one dies aud in n day islorgoi-

Ue never visited the si«k, bur ried tbe dead nor educated the or- phan. The other did all of these aud uiore aud i hough his body sleeps iu the earth his naiue and atemofy is dear to the living. In lullfillmg his obligations to his fel- low men be sought to do thoni good and to make them better. He was ever ready to assist iu lifting up the I illen to help tho needy, to ad-

lliit, ladies aud gentlemen, 1 sus pect that some of you are beginning to inquire what has this to d ) witii Odd Fellowship. If so 1 auswer it has much to do with it. Odd Fel-

theui husband and lather have been destroyed ami want aud misery hold wifo and children in their horrid grasp. In this business one man can slay his hundreds and a fow can destroy their thousands, and pnre women and innocent, chil- dren are the chief sufferers.

But, ladies and gentlemen, happi- ly tbe generous acts and uoble deeds of good men are no less effec- tive in shaping and directing the lives of others and I need only dwell a moment upou this branch ol my 8ubjec*. In fact we see so much happiness and joy and brightness in tbe homes and lives of onr fellow beings whioh may be traced direct- ly lo the good deeds of the noble men and women around them that we almost forget the evil which some men do. A'l over our land and country hospitals for tbe sick, homes for the indigent, colleges tor tbe yonng and schools for the chil- dren stand as monuments to those whose broad philanthropy embraces every condition and want ol man- kind. Their liberality is bounded only by their means and their good deeds only by their opportunities. But wo need not go to these to sea the beautiful pictures wrought by generons bands or to hear the touching songs suug by grateful tongues. In onr daily walks we see Iqvely women, ou her missions of mercy carving light into darkened homes and gladness to heavy hearts; and generous men giving of .their means- large and small, to enter, prises for the uplifting of Immunity. It is beyond the power of human capacity to compute the good which may flew from one noble act. A man saved to-day saves another to-morrow. A child rescued from vice grows up to noble manhood and become! a great faetor for the elevation of tbe human raoe. Tbe good deeds of tbe unborn genera- tions of the mi-numbered ages shall form golden links ia the chain of our iwotberheodr wa*ch bad Ua be-

not have au interest; because that minister to the sick, to sustain the person may do something to inju- riously effect the whole community. If this be true then it follows that the whole community is interested

"in every organization and effort and euteiprise which has foi its object the elevation, advancement and improvement or the indiydual mem- bers of that community. It is upon this principle that we may be justi- fied In taxiug the property of one man to educate nuother man's child ren. fvich man is interested ill the life and conduct aud development of each child in tho community and so is tbe community at large. Hence WC tax tin) properly of the whole community to educate tbe cbildreu of that community that they may grow v■;. to become better citisen and le id better lives j and tbe com- muni'y which comes the nearest to fulfilling i ins obligation will be most distinguished for tbe prosperity, peace and power of its people.

Man's obligation to man being, as I tbiuk, a well established fact. I propose to point out tworqles,which may safely be observed by those' who desire to recognize and fulfill these oblizatioii8. The first of these is of a negative kind but it is a very affective rule if observed. It is this: "Never engage in or do any- thing which will injure your fellow men." 1 remember picking up a little book while I was living in the city e!'Bio de Janeiro which had the unique title of "Don't." The book was iuteuded to be a treatise on etiquette and to teach good man- ners in polite soQJety, but it did not lay aown a single rule to be followed. It simply told tbe reader what he mast not do. We carry about with u >, not a little book but a watchful monitor, our consoienoe, which is constantly whispering to as "don't when we attempt to invade the rights of others; aud it is only after we hare silenced this monitor i lint wo eau seriously injure them. If tins sentinel has been lulled to rest in the bosom cf auy one I would that I bad the power to arouse him from his slumbers for a man with- out conscience is not a MAN, lie is au animal. And at this point I woujd address myself especially to the young meu who are present. Habit is a terrible master when it is evil and youth is the time when con- science is the quickest to warn you ngaiunt becoming its slave, tlced Its voioe, I beg you, when, it says •'don't.'' }t will fell yon of your ob- ligations (o your fellow men. Lies ten to its pleadings and do not dis- regard its admonitions. Yon have your temptations and bad examples. Do not yield to them. Some of your associates iray think it is manly to go about with a package of cigarettes in one pocket and a pistol in tbe other. Do not imitate them. The cigarettes are injurious to health and their use leads to other bad, habits and the pistol is no badge of bravery. The. last session of onr Legislature passed a law for- bidding tbe sale of cigarettes to minors, and if injurious to minors, it must be more or less so to adnlts.

Tbe other rale which I wish to

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Special Cor. to BaroaoxoB.

Mil. KDITOR s—If you will grant us the space, we desire thiough your columns to submit a few re- flections npou the heading of this article. We take von 'o be an ad- vocate ol free speech, ami while yon may not agree with us iu the opinions herein expressed, you will not therefore exclude our views from the public.

We will say in tho outset that wc are not opposed to public schools perse and a free diseussion of them may tend to a correction of some abuses that is known to all to exist, and they are of such a nature as to Keiiously impair their usefulness and elllciency.

These are doubtless somo enthu- siasm manifested around the towns where institutes for flic benefit of

There is a subdued, but intense and bitter feeling existing, not in all of course, but iu many districts, against public schools, and neigh- borhood broils and lamily fends are not uncommon.

It was proposed by somo one in our last Legislature to so change the law as to have one Committees man for each school district, instead or three. We think it would have been better ir this change had been adopted. It would bate saved teachers a good deal o! time and trouble. The applicant lor a school goes to see Mr. A-, a Committee- man. He refers him to Mr. B. and U.. and saj'S he will agree to what- ever they may say about it. He goes lo see Mr. B. lie ia not at home, off i,c goes in search or Mr. C. lie is informed that he is down in the swamp, or somewhere on tbe back side of the plantation and will uot be home before night. If he tarries, the good wife entertains him with a history of tho free school iu that district, its ups and downs, trials and tribulations and finally winds up by pronouncing, in a very emphatic manner, her anathemas upon it, or he may hurry on and seek a night's lodging soiuewhure. in the neighborhood, and the next day repeats abont tbe same thing over again. Often tbe applicant is a delicate lady and she can tell you the trouble and annoy- ance she has experienced in hunt- ing up three Committeemen and getiing them to agree upon em* ploying her, the price to be. paid, and the time for the school to com» inencc.

If by auy possible means they can all bo gotten together, they will talk and talk, one level hour, upon every conceivable subject, except the ouo they have met to discuss, teachers arc held; but is the same

interest shown in the rural districts|each waiting for the other to bring up the subject. If one is written among lho masses, those for whom'

these schools were, especially in- tended f We are sincere and can- did in onr convietion that they have not attaiued to tho standstd of nieiit generally claimed for them Their advance in usefulness is not iu proportion to the increase of money expended for them.

The State officers, who manage this department, are zealons in the discharge of their duties, and have correct ideas as to what these schools ought to be; but it is too often the case that those upon whom an equally great responsibility rest (Committeemen) are, though their selllsh narrow-miudeduess. totally unfit for the position the.y occupy. This remark must not be applied to all who till this place, lor there are among them some good, truo men; but if you believe they arc not hampered and bairaseed in trying to do fair and right, aud otten forced to resign to preserve their self-respect, go and ask them your- self.

We are decidedly of the opinion that it would be au improvement aud convenience to have only one Committee for each school district, Let him be a mau of intelligence, energy and enough public spirit about him to make bim feel an in- terest in his woik. All teachers, who have certificates and desire a situation, should be required to give then names and addresses to tho County Siipenntendant. Let tbe Committeemen make application for a teacher to bim, and upou his recommendation employ such a teacher as he may think mil salt his neighborhood, assi6t him or her in getting a convenient place to hoard, sec that the school house is made comfortable and the children have pure water to drink, etc

Taxation for the support or these school has been increased, and tbe people demand that somo improve- ment be made. Of coarse there will be some complaint at whatever changes may be made, bat If we have only one Committeemen in- stead of three, we may reasonably hope to have at least one-third less grumbling than at present.

There is a movement on foot to build a monument to Jeff. Davis. Next to General Lee no man in the Confederacy was more loved than President Davis. Though the cause is lost forever, and prin- ciples for which he fought went

• down at Approniatox to rise no

more, yet his name is loved and cherished, and is held dear by every true Souther" man. Lot his monument be elected, and let it stand by tho side of that of

the immortal Lee, and lot them commemorate the memory of the two heroes who stood by princi- ple and not by policy in the days

of tho South's calamity.

The McKinley Bill does not seem to protect the workmen much.

Maj. John C Winder went be- fore the Railroad Commission in behalf of the Seaboard Air Line system and made objections to the proposed reduction in passenger

The Wilmington Star suggests

that as St. Louis is the greatest mule market in the world. Brav- er Sheperd of the Mail and Er- pntt ought to emigrate thither so

ftot BriggB, and eminent di-

yft>e of Union Theoligical Semi- nary, has been holding views as to the inspiration of the Bible some- what adverse to the views of his church. For this he has been ar- raigned, and it was thought he would be tried a council of the

church, but recently a series of questions has been summitted to him, and his answers are satisfac- tory, and there probably the mat-

ter drops.

There is a marked difference be- tween Mr. Harrison and Mr. Blaine, and among the most recent

proofs are these: first, Mr. Blaine has a swelling in his feet and Mr. Harrison has it in his head : Second, Mr. Blaine is get-

ting better, but Mr. Harrison is getting worse: Third, Mr. Blaine'a swelling is physical, Mr.

Harrison's is mental; Fourth, Mr. Blaine's is curable, but Mr. Har- rison's is incurable, fifth, Mr. Blaine knows he is affected and will take treatment, Mr. Harrison thinks he is not, and will not take treatment, not even advice.

A poem entitled "My Wife and Child" has been going the rounds again. It made its appearance a few years ago and was attributed to Stonewall Jackson. Its tru e

author was General H. B. Jack- son. The authorship has again been mistaken and attribu- ted to the immortal Stone-

wall, instead of its true author. Let Gen. H. B. Jackson have the credit of his work. Stonewall Jackson's military fame is enough for him, without any literary

fame. m

The United States cruiser Charleston has for several days been pursuing the Chilian war vassal the Ilala. As to what the result of the chase will bo it is not known. It is thought that when the Itata reaches Chili the insurgents will be surrendered to the Charleston.

There is a great deal of specula- tion aa to what will be done with the Itala when caught but it was not caught at the latest advices.

ball were played in Charlotte last

week for the championship of the two States. Noith and South Caro- lina, in which tho North Carolina boys came off victorious. The Winston team represented our

State and the team from Columbia, S. C., represented the Palmetta State. In the first sranio Winston,

carried off the palm in a scoro of 14 to 2. The second game result- ed in a score for Winston of 9 to 5. Then the South Carolina boys determined to win tho third. At the end of the second inning the

score stood 3 to 0 in favor of Col- umbia, the Winston boys rallied and from then to tho 9th inning it was gooso egg all round. Then Winston worked the rabbit foot on them and scored four runs, there-* by winning the third game. The

The convention of the Farmers' Alliance met last week in Cincin- natti to take into consideration the matter of forming a new party, and steps were taken towards that end, though the party was not formally

organized. A Central Committee was formed whose business it is, if we understand it, to look after the matter, and unless satisfactory arrangements can otherwise be

made, to call a national conven- tion not later than June 1, 1S92 to nominate candidates for the Pres- idency and Vice-Presidency. Mat- ters look decidedly now as if there will be three caudidates in the field in 1892 for the Presidency, There being such a small differ- once between tho Democrats and the Alliance they ought to join hands. Wo fail to see how the Alliance can make any con- cessions at all to tho Republicans when wo consider that the Repub- licans are responsible for the very things which are complained of. Nor do we see how tho Republi-

can party can consistently join

with the Alliance as their princi pies are so much opposed to Jeach other. But as a matter of fact tho

Republicans are more for continn ance in office than for principle,

and we need not be surprised at any concessions they may make. Let us await the result.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

(From our Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, May 22, -91.

Mr. Harrison isn't living np to the reputation given him by his son Russell's paper. If be is tbe brains as well as tbe head of the adminis- tration, why doesn't be take bold of tbe very important questions now in an unsettled condition before the Department of State! Mr. Blaine's absence cocld not have been better timed if it hod been previously ar- ranged—which it may have been— to give Mr. Harrison an opportunity to show tbe country that Mr. Blaine has been nothing more than a clerk tohim. Bat the gentleman from In- diana is too shrewd to give himself away; be finds tbe matters pertain- ing to the other departments so pressing that he informed Mr. Blaine's assistant, who carried a big handle of papers to the White House that he was «o bnsy that he would defer foreign matters for a few days. In tbe mean time be is probably praying tbat Mr. Blaine will return before those papers are again brought to him.

If Mr. Blaine should take it ioto his head to go away on the sick list or to resign entirely on the ground of ill health, it would not take long for those now ignorant on that sub- ject to discover wbo baa furnished tbe brains for this administration.

Mr. Wanamaker is fathering a scheme tbat for pare unadulterated "gall" surpasses anything in tbe history of tbe republican party, and that's saying a good deal. He wants to make ten year contract* with favorite parties for carrying tbe ocean mails in various direc- tions under tbe mail subsidy act of tbe last Congress. Of. coarse that involves tbe ultimate expenditure of many millions of dollars, while tbe appropriation made, which was for only one year, was 11,500,000. Mr. Harrison approve* of tbe

scheme, and in otdcr to give it a better aspect the question has been referred to the Attorney General Tor an opinion as to whether the Postmaster General has a legal right to make contracts to rau ten years. Of course he will decide that he has, and then the country will have the pleasure of seeing forty or fifty millions of Us money placed where It will help to renoini- nate and re-elect Mr. Benjamin Harrison. Whatever other people may think Mr. Harrison doesn't think tbat be made a mistake in putting John Wanamaker at the head of the postoffice.

Auother little schemo of Mr. Wanamaker's was tbe establish- ment of a regular mail service to Alaska and the awardiug of the contract for carrying the mails to the North American Commercial company, whose steamers have to go there anyway, and whose busi- ness makes probably ninety-nine r.uudrcdths or the mail to and from tliere. This compauy didn't make any money taking seals last year, and the administration sympathizes with it to tho extent or an entirely unnecessary mail contract.

A party of prominent democrats were gathered in the parlor of a private residence one eveuing this week, and althougu the circum- stances preclude the use of names, tho conversation was too interest- ing at times to bo entirely lost, so I reproduce a portion ot it herewith:

"Did you know," as&ed a South- ern Senator, "that the Florence (South Carolina) Times had run np the name of Wade Hampton for Vice-Presideu t T"

"Wish we could get him there," said a Western Representative.

"1 join heartily with you," said an Eastern Representative, "and I can tell yon how it can be doue."

"Howf" asked everybody in chorus.

"Well, you see," ho replied, "the democratic party has three great prizes to distribute, the Presidency, the Vice-d'resideucy and the Speak- er of the House of Representatives. Now you all know thut 1 am not in favor of sectionalism in any form, and yet I recognize tbe fact tbat the country is almost certain to be geographically divided into three parts and tbat one or these great great prizes will go to the South, one to tho East, and one to the West, and I don't, think anybody can say that that isn't an equitable method or distribution. All the South has got to do ir it wants a place upon the national tioket is to let tbe Speakersbip go to tbe Bast or West."

"A bird iu tho baud'', laughed a Southern Representative who is In the line of the Speakersbip lightning himself.

"Bnt have you got it in the band!" retorted the Eastern man.

"Yon just wait and see", said the Southerner.

"How I should like to see Wade preside over the Senate", said a Sen- ator wbo bad been an interested lis- tener, "but it be was nominated wouldn't the Farmers Alliance in the Southern States defeat the tick- et as they did him for the Senate!"

"That's a side of the question that had not ocenred to me", said the gentleman who started tbe conver- sation; "but I would not fear to wager all I possess tba t a national ticket with Wade H amptou's name on it could carry South Carolina, against anything that could be pit- ted against it; only nominate him, and my word for it he will be elected.

For The Week Ending Friday, May 22d, CENTBAL OFFICE, RALRIQH, N. C.

The reports of correspondents of the Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin issued b\ the N. C. Experiment Station and State Weather Servico for the week ending Friday, May 22d, 1891, show the weather condi- tions during the past week have been verj favorable, and that crops have generally improved somewhat as well as the spirits or the farmers. Occasional showers fell during tbe week, wbich were very beneficial, but the raiu-fall was below the average and more rain is needed, especially in the Eastern District. The temperature has beeu below the average, tho nights particularly being too cool. The deficiency in temperature for the State during the week amounts to over 20 de- grees. As regards the condition of crops, it will bo seen that reports are unanimous as to the poor stand of cotton, and generally also of corn. Many farmers have had to replant cotton, aud some are doing it now; others are plowing up land aud planting corn or peas instead or cotton. In fact, farmers are suf- fering from undue haste in planting on soil not fully prepared. Tbe week was very favorable lor trans- planting tobacco, in which rapid progress has been made. There are no complaints about, scarcity of plants. The wheat and oat crops are reported in fair condition. Warm weather, especially warm nights, are greatly needed, with occasional showers. REMARKS OF SPECIAL COBBESPON-

DENT. EASTERN DisTBlCT. Wilming-

ton, New Hanover county—Woath- er highly favorable. Truckers and farmers made most of opportunity. Rain needed. Washington, Bean- fort county—Nights cool, days not warm enough to cause germination of cotton. Elizabeth City, Pasquo- tank county—Still dry. Stand for cotton irregular, some fields replant- ed. Potato bugs rampant. Cab- bage marketed, but price low. Weldon, Halifax county—Nights cool. Cotton coming up slowly aud looking badly. Rain-fall 1.11 inch- es. Blackman's Mills, Sampson county—Bad stand cotton and corn. Some farmers replanting cotton. Temperature too low. Clinton, Sampson county—Cotton all np; bad stand cotton and corn. Crops in good condition lor growing now. Bnrgar, Pender county—Rain last Friday, now very dry. Bad stand of most crops. Fruit falling off trees. Black Creek, Wilson county —Prospects for cotton crop gloomy. Stand poor, plants unhealthy. Some farmers replanting (20tb.) Most of tbe tobacco plants have been replanted. Corn average. Scotland Neck, Halifax county— Rain of last week has been benefi- cial to crops. Cold weather has de- stroyed much of good effect. Stand of cotton and corn bad, almost im- possible to get good stand of cotton now.

IN MEMORIAM. I.ELIA HAMMONDS.

The Lord has gorely strickened us, Tet comfort us in all our grief,

And frowns not on the bitter tears That gave our burdened hearts relief.

Our cross, we will with meekness bear, Tho' silently we weep unseen.

To know we ne'er again, on earth, Shall tee our dm ling friend.

We'll yield to our Father's will Aud know his works are for the best,

But, oh! how deep the sorrow U, When we lay our loved ones to rest.

To God's own will, we are resigned, For on His arm of Krength we loan,

And thank Him for the tbe priceless loan Of her our prectousmend.

Her home is, oh ! so sad and still, For one who ne'er will come no more.

But lu the future we hope to meet, Where pain and sorrow all are o'er,

Her voice on earth we'll h ear no more Nor e'er will her bright face be seen

For God, the Father hath seen fit To call from us our friend.

And, oh! how sadly we miss her, But feel e'er now our loss her gain,

For she with Jesus happy it, And (ears no grief, or toll, or pain

Oh 1 when they all together meet, Around the fireside scene,

A tear doth fall, a heart doth ache For her our darling friend.

When round your quiet board you alt, There is, alas, oue vacant place,

Where once you seldom failed to soe Thst patient, quiet face.

ID almost every spot around, A plant or other objects seen,

That brings to memory pleasant thoughts

Of Her, our darling friend. In the "beyond" her angel mother,

Who went there many years before, Now aits with her in robes of white.

Or walks with her the shining shore Oh I sacred we will ever bold

The silent spot HO dear,and green, Where now thy peaceful lady sleeps,

Leila, our darling friend. A FRIEND.

Fayettcville Observer. A friend asks us to ''put i

the reason that the officer opening of Superior Court, calls out:

"Oh, yes! oh, yes!'' etc. Phoneli- cism has led our friend into an amusing error. That is not the form of proclamation (at least it should not be, but we doubt not that many an ignorant crier uses these veiy words with "malice prepense"). Th- try is ihe imperative of the French veil., lo hear: 'Oyez!" •Hear ye?!""—and in its proper pro- nunciation the final letter ha" no

sound of "s" at all. The same Nor- man Preach, which engrafted itself upon the whole Anglo Saxon judicial fabric, aajaaara in the "court or over

and termincr."

3-man Instinct.

So powerful is human instinct, that

somoolits suggestions become em- bodied in social and household cus- toms. The |icople know and feel Ihal at the beginning of the spring season the system needs an altera- tive and a purifying tonic and stim- ulant. In all parts of the country it is the custom for the housewife to

dose her brood wilh sassafras tea. Among the simple remedies that our anceslors employed, this deco-.-tiou ha- continued to hold its own. The demand for a spring alterative and Ionic, however, is filled more effica- ciously by S. S. S., which is itself as simjili- as nature's remedial medicine

should be. It purifies the blood, cleanses and strengthens the system, and prepares the human machine to stand the wear and tear of 'he sum- mer months.
