An exchange has this: "Some-

make a mistiike. A beautiful wo-man

are gathered closely when the way-ward

The above cuts the truth right

without charily and mercy
and forbearance is contemptible.
It's mighty poor society where
the doors slam in the face of an
unfortunate, and cultivate and
cherish the friendship of him whose
record (moral) is hellish.
And these sad things that occur
to ruin lives and make hearts bleed,
are made ail the worse by long,
slimy tongues. There are men and

The South's Industrial growth. JU8T RULE OF A WOMAN. Ghosts in Georgia.
The yfnniifacliircrs Record of
September 26th has the following on
the rapid growth of the South :
The most trying period which
the industrial growth of the South
has ever encountered, and doubt-less
the most trying that it will ever
have to face, has been that covered
by the last nine or ten months. It
would have been natural for a rap-idly
developing section like the
South, where thousands of new en-terprises
were being organized or
were under construction, to have
felt the elfeet of financial troubles
far more seriously than any other
section, but such has not been the
ease. Of course many enterprises
just getting under way when the
panic came have been halted, and
some have been abandoned, but
this has been mainly in the line of
development and town companies.
The manufacturing enterprises in
operation have gone along steadily.
Hanking and general business ope-rations,
though somewhat restricted
in the volume, have stood the finan-cial
strain remarkubly well. De-spite
the extreme depression in
iron. Southern furnaces have gen-erally
been running to their full
capacity and making some profit;
cotton mills have been busy, and in
nearly every line of manufacturing
there has been a steady, substan-tial
gain even during the great
monetary stringency. The way in
which the South has stood the
strain iias surprised the financial
world, and has materially strength-ened
the confidence of the capital-ists
of the North in the great fu-ture
of this section.
The panic is passing away; the
whole country is entering upon a
period of unprecedented prosper-ity,
and in all human probability
the next two years will be the
most active in industrial advance-ment
in the history of our country.
In this great activity and prosper-ity
the South will undoubtedly
share. Its vast resources will com-mand
the attention of capital, new
furnaces and steel works will be
built, new cotton mills established,
new mines opened, many miles of
railroad built, and in every branch
of its trade and industry new ac-tivity
will be felt. The South has
passed through the trying ordeal of
t!ic last twelve months and it is
now ready to take its place in the
grgat march of progress upon which
the whole country is entering.
During the last nine months the
South has continued to establish
new manufacturing enterprises,
in that time 2,172 new concerns,
have been organized, which is only
700 less than in the great" boom " j
peril.ii covering .the first nine!
months of 1891.
CORA'S WILD RIDE.
Miles and Miles Like a Mazeppa \
Ftfst to a Bronco's Back.
Miss I 'urn Arledge, a young girl I
II years of age, with her father.!
arrived in town last night from the
forest of the West and from the
Big Horn basin. Miss Arledge j
met with n most serious and re-markable
accident at her home re- |
cently. Her father is a ranchman
in the Uig Horn basin and one day
last week a cowboy rode up to his
ranch on a young horse that he
was breaking. In a spirit of jest
he dared Miss Cora to ride the
horse, when, without a thought,
she vaulted into the saddle, throw-ing
her leg around the horn, and
the horse started to bucking and
pitching at a furious rate, but she
stuck to him, quieting him every
jump. Then the horse began to
run and ran for two straight hours
over the prairie, with Miss Arledge
hanging to the reins and three cow- i
boys in hot pursuit.
One of them at last succeeded in
lassoing the frightened animal and
gradually brought it to a standstill.
Miss Arledge was told to get olF, i
but she answered that she could1
not, and jus) then the horse made
another plunge, broke the lasso and
started again on its wild career. IC
ran for over twenty miles and then .
dropped dead, and its daring rider,
was found unconscious by its side, j
At lir>t it was thought her leg was
In liken, as she did not appear to
have the use of it, but upon an in-|
vestigation i; was found that no
bones were broken, but the muscles
of the right leg, from the long and;
severe strain in holding to the horn
of the saddle, had lost their power'
and her leg hangs limp and use-;
less. She was today sent to Oma-ha
for treatment.—Cisptr, Wyo.,
special to Denver Neirt.
It Costs Nothing.
The Atlanta Constitution has the
following timely article on an al-leged
interesting incident: "The
story in our news column is of the
man in North Carolina who receiv-ed
a bequest of $100,000 for his
courtesy to a southern stranger in
his town made very pleasant read-ing.
It shows that politeness, like
honesty, is the best policy. We
have in this cold world plenty of
perfunctory courtesy—the counter-feit
society article, made up of
smiles and bows and insincere pro-fessions,
but there is very little of
this old fashioned consideration
for others which makes life full of
sweetness and light, it is strange
that men do not cultivate this spirit
and its outward manifestations
more than they do. It costs noth-ing,
makes people happier, and
sometimes as an investment pays
well.
The net cash balance in the
treasury yesterday, inclusive of
iraVtional silver and deposits in
national banks, is stated at * 12,-
000,000.
How a Feminine Superintendent of a
Coal Mine Manages Affairs.
Mre. Francis Woodring is the
superintendent of a coal mine at
Ashland, Pa. She has occupied
the position since the death of her
husband, several years ago. The
woman is liked by all her employes,
some ISO in number. She is the
first on deck in the morning. She
remains at the head of the shaft
until all of the employes have gone
to work.
Not a single accident, says the
Mahaney City Tribune, has occurr-ed
in the mine since Mrs. Wood-ring
look charge. She is so care-ful
that she will not allow a man
to enter the shaft until the air
pressure is just so.
If there is a "bad spot"' in the
roof Mrs. Woodring insists that it
must be propped up at once. When
the miners stop to "prop" they lose
al ittle time. One day Mrs. Wood-ring
happened into a miner's
"breast" which was in bad condi-tion.
"Prop that up at once," was the
woman superintendent's order.
The man took his time. Mrs.
Woodring then got mad and said :
"Take your tools out of here. I
will have no man in my employ
carried home dead to his wife;
women have to suffer enough with-out
being made widows."
The man begged off and Mrs.
Woodring allowed him to remain.
He at once started to repair the
roof over his head. He didn't
start any too soon. The next min-ute
a large piece of coal fell on his
toe and smashed it.
Had he neglected the work of
repair a few minutes later he would
have been killed by the fall of coal.
The miner was ever thankful after
that for the prompt advice of the
woman.
Directly after Mrs. Woodring
took charge of the mine the men
insisted on more pay for propping.
The woman called a meeting of the
men and explained to them that
her colliery had to compete with
other mines, and that if they didn't
pay the increase she couldn't. The
men were obdurate, however. Mrs.
Woodring then said:
"AH right; I will give you the
increase out of my own salary."
She never paid it; she was never
asked.
Her men wouldn't leave her now
for anything. They say »ho is an
ideal employer. If any of the em-ployes
or the members of their
family get sick, Mrs. Woodring
never fails to visit them and offer
consolation. She is so liked by
everybf 1y that she is styled "the
angel j i workingman's clothes."
CODLON'T WORK THE LOCK.
Accident to a Lock in the Treasury
Causes a Delay.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.—Au acci-dent
to the lock of the inner door
of the vault in the cash room of the
United States Treasury caused
temporary suspension of the pay-ments
in that otlico this morning.
The vault is opened at 0 o'clock
every business day, but there was
a hitch this morning and it resist-ed
all the efforts to open it. It
contained about *l,x.000,000 in
loose funds necessary to the trans-actions
of the current business of
the department. When nearly one
hour had been spent in a vain ef-fort
to move the refractory door
and the creditors in the outer oflice
were increasing in number and im-patience,
a new comer took hold of
the door knob and by vigorous
shaking accidentally brought the
combinations in their proper places
and the trouble was at an end. In
the meanwhile u telegram had been
sent to a lock expert in Philadel-phia
to come to Washington at
once, and the Treasurer had about
concluded to resort to the hitherto
sacred funds in the reserve vault.
What made the matter worse was
that the demands on Treasury this
mi.rning were unusually large.
Go Slow, Girls.
Scarcely a day passes withellt its
newspaper story of some young wo-men
who met a man so interesting
that she thought she couldn't live
without him, so she married him in
haste and afterward learned that
he was mi ex-convict or a brute or
already hail a wife or two from
whom he had separated without the
formality of a legal divorce.
In guch cases the blame is laid
upon the man, who generally de-serves
more abuse than he gets.
Bufc girls, look at the matter seri-ously
a few minutes and see if the
trouble might not have been avoid-ed
if you had not been in too much
of u hurry.
Marriage means partnership for
life; decrees of divorce arc merely
exceptions that prove the rule.
Would any man enter into a busi-ness
partnership with as little
knowledge of the other party as
you seem satisfied with? Well, no
not unless he were a sweet souled
lunatic.
Talk is cheap, girls; il can be
made to order as fast as the tongue
can run, especially when there is a
pretty face to inspire it and two
willing ears to receive it.
Don't fear that some other girl
will get the fellow unless you se-cure
him at once.
Notable Horse Trading.
A well-known jockey secured a
showy colt and hied himself to the
Dale to see the boys. When he
came back he was driving a fine
black horse, leading a good bay,
while there followed behind a pair
of oxen, a cow, an old sow and
eight pigs.—Springfield Republican
An interesting story, with the
scene laid at Montezuma, is going
the rosnds, says the Atlanta Con-stitution.
It dates back many years,
when one Thomas Dargin kept a
ferry on Flint river, near the pres-ent
town of Montezuma. Dargin's
daughter Mary fell in love with
Ned Vines, a dashing young stage
driver.
The girl's father opposed ihc
match and an elopement was plan-ned.*"
One dark, stormy night they
undertook to cross the swollen
stream in the ferry-boat, which was
managed by means of a chain
stretched from bank to bank.
When they were a short distance
from land Dargin (to whom their
secret had been betrayed by a ne-gro)
rusuhed out, with rage, and
unfastened the chain.
The darkness of the night, the
swift water, and the tanglewood
along the banks of the river made
escape from their perilous position
impossible. They could but drift
whither the cruel waters carried
them, and soon the stout boat was
wrecked on a pointed rock.
Next day the drowned lovers
were found washed ashore several
miles below the ferry, lovingly
clasped in each other's arms. The
eight touched the heart of the
cruel parent, and his anger was
turned to remorse. He leaned over
their bodies, beautiful even in
death, and wept bitter tears. Then,
remembering it was the deed of his
own hands, he cast himself into the
angry flood.
This place is haunted to the
present day. Kach midnight a
phantom boat may be Been to glide
across the murky waters until the
chain is loosed, and on stormy
nights, by the glare of the light-ning's
flash, the quivering specta-tor
can see the forms of Mary Dar-gin
and her handsome lover locked
in close embrace in the illfated
boat as they are borne by the gur-gling
waters to the pointed rock.
SKINNER IN IT I
The Present Wind Seems to Indicate
that the Alliance Drop Will
Fall That Way.
A prominent member of the Al-liance,
one who knows what he is
talking about when he talks, was
met on one of the corners yester-day,
and the conversation soon
drifted to the color of the Alliance
clouds. His manner was very quiet
and he seemed to have perfect con-fidence
in his remarks.
"See here," said he, "do you
know that Harry Skinner is going
to be the next Governor of North
Carolina?" When he was told
that the reporter did not know
what way the wind was blowing, he
said : "Yes, Harry Skinner will be
the next governor, and his term
will not expire before he will be in
the United States Senate. I know
what I am talking about, and I
know that that is the way things
now stand.
The Alliance has hoped to get,
in Harry Skinner, a man who sup-ports
our demands and get a man
whose course will be so straight-forward
and just that no man, no
matter of what profession or party,
can find objection to him.-Charlottc
Cln'oiticle.
ALLIANCE DAT
At the Catawba Fair-Polk and
Weaver Addresses a Large
Audience.
NEWTON, N. C, Sept. 30.—The
fourth annual fair of the Catawba
Agricultural Association is being
held here. To day was Alliance
day, the speakers being .1 udge
Weaver, of Iowa, and Col. Polk. In
the morning Judge Weaver address-ed
a large and appreciative audi-ence,
treating on the Alliance prin-ciples
and demands. He especially
referred to the banking system; he
made no allusion to the Alliance
going into the third party. Col.
Polk in the afternoon spoke to an
immense crowd. He repudiated all
the charges thit have been reported
about him and other leaders in
reference to the third party. He
spoke very freely. In concluding
his speech he said, "If the Demo-crats
want Alliance votes what they
will have to do is to treat us fairly,
squarely and honestly, and give us
a clean man not connected with
Wall street, and one who stands
upon the principles of the Ocala
demands."
A vote of the audience was taken
as to how many would stand upon ;
the Ocala demands when put to the |
test. Almost the entire voting
party of the audience rose. Thi6
is significant.
Inventor Edison's Fortune.
The recent decision of the Uni-ted
States courts puts $14,000,000
into Thos. A. Edison's pocket.
Never before has any decision
brought such an inundation of
wealth. Edison sued a company
which had been using his inven-tion
; and, after six years of litiga- j
tion, he has triumphed. The dc- I
fendants were making enormous
profits, which they must now turn
over to the fortunate electrician.
Edison is the richest inventor the !
world ever saw. Some ingeniusj
calculators have been trying to fig-,
ure up his income, and they have!
reckoned the different inventions
until they are tired, without touch-ing
bottom. It would not be sur- j
prising if it were almost as large !
as Jay Gould's. Mr. Edison, by I
the way, has set himself to writing j
a novel. That it will be a unique;
work is to be expected. He will
have no difficulty in finding a pub- j
Usher.
A Famous Accidental Discovery.
Argand. the inventor of the fa-mous
lamp which bears his name,
had been experimenting for some
time in trying to increase the light
given out by his lamp, but all to no
purpose. On a table before him
one night lay an old flask which
had accidently gotten tho bottom
broken off, leaving a long necked,
funnel shaped tube. This Argand
took up carelessly from the table
and placed.almost without thought,
as he afterward related, over the
flame. A brilliant white light was
the magical result. It is needless
to add that the hint was not lost
by the experimenter, who proceed-ed
to public discovery into practi-cal
use by "inventing"' the common
glass lamp chimney.
Hundreds of discoveries which
have been heralded to the world as
the acme of human genius have
been the results of merest accident,
the auger, calico printing, vulcan-ization
of rubber, etc.being union
the number.

A Button's Journey.
John Bowden, fifty-five years of
age, n brakenian on tho Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, residing in Bal-timore,
went to the Presbyterian
Hospital yesterday and complained
of a severe pain in his leg. No
outward evidence of any injury
could be discovered by the physi-cians,
but, with Ilowdcn's consent,
they cut into the centre of pain
and removed a large confederate
military button. Bowden said that
he was wounded in the army at the
battle of Gettysburg, but at the
time the bullet could not be found,
although the wound was probed
several times by the hospital phy-sicians.
The confederate button
was the missle that inflicted the
wound in his arm, and had worked
its way up through his body and
dowli to the place where it was
found and removed.—Phil. Time*.
Hi.its to Travelers.
Know your route before you com-mence
your journey.
Have as much money as possible,
but keep little of it in sight.
Bead your ticket carefully; it
may be your guide'.
Avoid useless questions and
others will usually be answered po-litely.
Be on time: trains and boats
wait for no one.
Keep your eyes and ears open.
Guard against pickpockets.
If you have not your ticket ready
to show at the gato don't get rlus-trnted.
Slip aside and look for it
calmly—it saves time.
If you hare several parcels put
them all into one strap. They are
easier to carry.
Don't stand so us to obstruct the
way of others while saying goodby
to your friends.—New York H'ortrf.
SAVANNAHS STRIKE.
2,500 Out—Unsuccessful Effort at Set-tlement.
SAVANNAH, fla.. Sept. 30.—The
wharf laborers strike is gradually
extending to other organizations
and a close estimato of the number
out at noon is twenty-live hundred.
An effort is in progress to effect a
compromise between railroad cor-porations
on a basis of eighteen
cents an hour for regular time
with an allowance for all over time,
but Bo far the committees arc una-ble
to bring about a settlement.
Vessels are lying at the wharves
unable to unload or discharge car-goes
and business is at a standstill.
The cotton exchange and board
of trade are using vigorous efforts
to bring about a termination of the
strike and a number of conferences
have been held, but so far without
result.
MYSTERIOUS TRAGEDY.
Two Charred Bodies Found in the
Ashes of a Burned House.
lloxnoito, N. ('., Sept. 30.—News
of a horrible death by lire reached
here today. William Dixon and
his wife lived ten miles east of
Roxboro. Last night about eight
o'clock screams were heard by a
neighbor, but as Dixon and wife
were known to live unhappily it
was thought they were having a
fight. Shortly after the house was
in flames and today the charred
bodies of two people were found in

On a pretty girl saying to Rufus
Choate, " I am very sad-you-see,"
he replied, " O, no; you belong to
the old Jewish sect; you are very
fair-I-sec!"

So many of the so-called
blood-purifiers sold to improve a
rough, pimply, muddy skin, only
drive the scrofulous humors from

strikes directly at the root
of the evil, by dring the impurities
entirely out of the system, and with
a fresh, stream of pure blood flow-ing
through the veins, nothing but
thefsoftest and fairest of complex-ions
can result.
