The North Carolina supreme
court lias decided that the state
railway commission has the right
to Sx the rate of telegraph charges
in that state.
The national editorial associa
tion meets in Chicago on the 16th
of May for a two weeks session,
enlivened by daily visits to the
World’s Colombian exposition.
The auditors of the Burlington
roads met at St. Joseph, Mo., this
week, to discuss matters relating
to the business of their depart
ment. Representatives were pres
ent from Chicago, St. Paul, St.
Louis, Omaha, and Kansas City.
The secretary and treasurer of
the national alliance, which has a
large membership in the south, says
that the organization will not here
after take any part i n pol itics. This
will considerably simplify the sit
uation in some of the southern
states, where the alliance has been
a thorn in the flesh of the democ
racy.—Bee.
The dinner of the famous “306”
of the Chicago convention of 1880,
which will bo given in Philadelphia
this month, promises to be a great
affair. The “306,” as everybody
knows, were the delegates who vot
ed for Grant upon every ballot until
Garfield was nominated. Respon
ses have been received, it is said,
from Over 230 of the “306” which,
considering the laps of time, is
somewhat remarkable.
The determination of the Cher
okee Indians not to share their new
ly acquired wealth with the white
men who have been adopted or who
married into the tribe shows that
they propose to conduct their large
financial affairs upon strict business
principles without regard to senti
mental considerations. The In
dians will receive about $8,600,000
tor the Cherokee strip, and the
palefaced Cherokees who have
looked forward to the division of
this wealth will now experience an
extremely tired feeling.—Bee.
The TStli birthday of Prince
Bismark was honored by many
thousands of German people, but
it does not appear that the em
peror sent auy congratulations,
nor that Chancellor Caprivi cele
brated the occasion with any great
degree of enthusiasm. By the
wav, the old statesman seems to
have endured the fatigue of his
birthday festivities in a manner
that entirely discredits the recent
stories in regard to his health.
There mav be some years of life
‘ - •
before him yet. and it is not im
possible that he may again become
a conspicuous figure in active
politics.—Bee.
The American Bible society
made an interesting exhibition at
the Centennial in 1870, but this is
to be greatly surpassed by the dis
play to be made at Chicago. The
resources of the American as a Bible
maker and circulator will be fully
demonstrated and set fcrth. The
Bible has been printed in 800 lan
guages, and it is a curious fact that
in printed form it has outlasted sev
eral languages. There is one In
dian Bible in existence which, it is
• said, but one living man can read.
The reading of the same book,
though, in many varied tongues has
doubtless done much to promote the
mutual acquaintanceship of the hu
man family and so far as the result
has been attained, the brotherhood
of man. The “Universal Book”
trill be displayed as never before at,
the World’s Exposition. |

tion Day.

A sad case is reported from the south
part of the county. A Mr. McCulloch,
who lately came to this county and
purchased a farm between Danbury and
Lebanon,while trying to save his burning
barn and grain, fell through into the
burning building but succeeded in get
ting out, but not until he had the cloth
ing burned off, and suffering great agony
lived until Tuesday. He leaves a wife
and five children.
A bad accident happened Tuesday.
As C. B. Hoag and Dr. Eskey were com
ing to town the buggy pole came down,
\yhich caused the team to run. The
occupants both jumped out. The doctor
was not hurt but Mr. Hoag struck on
the back of his head, and we fear is
seriously hurt, while one of the horses
ran through a wire fence and was so
badly mangled that it bled to death in
a lew minutes.
I see in the near future a crisis aris
ing that unnerves me and caascs me to
tremble for the safety of my country.
As a result of the war corporations
have been enthroned and an era of cor
ruption in high places will follow, and
the money power of the country will
endeavor to prolong its reign by work
ing upon the prejudices of the people
until wealth is aggregated in a few
hands and the republic is destroyed.
I feel, at this peint, more anxiety for
the safety of my country than ever be
fore, even in the midst of the war—

WITHOUT THE
BOW (RING)
it is easy to steal or ring watches from the
pocket. The thief gets the watch in on.
ini.id, the chain in the other and gives a

watch stem, and away goes the watch, leav ■
ing the victim only the chain.
This idea stopped
that little game:
The bow has a groove
on each end. A collar

pendant (stem) and
fits into the grooves,
firmly locking the
bow to the pendant,
