A young negro boy by the name

G. D., Smith usually takes a
little walk and soon returns with
tke mone y with which to purchase
a ride—having in the meantime
(usually) in broad daylight,
a tow-sack full of the toothsome
and feathery tribe known to Toe
coans as “begs.” Alonday Smith
wanted a ride and as Judge Cook
had a yard full of nice, fat hens,
he hied himself to Knob Hill, and
when the family was not looking
fiUed hu ^ and ^ them down
town to unsuspecting parties. When
arrested, young Smith told where
the chickens were. He owned to
t he theft and the parties to whom
they were sold identified the boy.
This is not the first Time he has
done the like before. He was sent
to Clarkesville to board with Sher-
iff Gribble till court meets.

exercises ot the J. S. Green Insti¬
tute at Demorest Thursday night.
The closing was an operetta, “The
Lost Lady Slipper,” which was
splendidly staged and all charac¬
ters were gorgeously and beautiful¬
ly dressed. The “commencement”
began Friday, and continued
every night till and including Tues¬
day. The school is a grand success
and so is President Spence and his
splendid corpse of teachers. Aj
school of that kind is worth more
to a town than a couple ot national

SOME PROSPERITY ITEMS
To Attract Capital South.
Mr. J. T. Moffitt, of Messrs.
Moffitt & Co., of Asheboro, N. C.,
in a letter to the Manufacturers’
Record, says: “After carefully
studying your inducements offered
to Northern capital to come South
for the manufacture of cotton, I
have come to the conclusion that
the chief inducement is the cheap¬
ness of labor, fuel, etc. This being
true, there is no other place that I
can think of that offers the advan¬
tages of Asheboro, N. C. Wood
1 s now bought for from ninety cents
to $1 per cord, andean be fora long
time to come, as the supply is very
great. It is the cheapest lumber
market in the Satate, hence build¬
ing can be done ata minimum cost.
Women can be employed to work
eleven hours per day at a cost of
twenty-five cents. All the cotton
for a 50, 000 spindle mill can be
bought at the door. ' *
Notice the “inducement” in the
wages of our women,beautiful civil-
ization—isn’t it?
The New York Sun, which is a
great prosperity sheet, comes to the
conclusion, after a careful investi-
gation, that 40,000 working wom¬
en in that city are receiving wages
so small that they are compelled to
accept charity or else starve.
The Boston Manufacturing Co.,
of Waltham, Alass., has announced
a ten per cent reduction of wages
for its 1,500 employes, said reduc¬
tion to take effect the 28th instant.
A strike will probably result, and
our prosperity will again be proven.
Carnegie Co., have gi\en
their several thousand employes no*
tice of a ten per cent reduction in
wages. This is another wave of
prosperity.
No reduction in the price of ar-
mor P late ,hou g h - *f 4 °° * ton.
At Passaic, N. J., factory girls
work 13 hours a day, with but 15
minutes allowed for noonday meal,
for wages ranging from $1.25 to $3
per week. This is prosperity.
Thomas Alurphy, a blacklisted
railroad engineer, was shot by the
marshal of Medina, Ohio, for beg¬
ging for something to eat. Thus
was the majesty of the law vindicat¬
ed, and our national prosperity
proven!
A stranger, aged about 50, sui-
cided by carbo l ic acid in Chester,
Alass., the other day. On „ a scrap
°f paper in his pocket wa s writ-
ten: “I am a mechanic out of work.
I am knocked up with tramping
from place to place and cannot get
food. I am better dead than liv¬
ing. ''—Living Issues.
Alartin Sowden, a machinist, re¬
cently killed himself with a shotgun
on the Burlington (Iowa) Institute
College campus, in full view of
many students. He was despond-
ent because out of work. This, too,
is prosperity.

is tending toward the day of the
