    complain of.

    There must be some very rough

    characters among the soldiery who

    make up the State guard, and the

    officers seem to have the men under

    very poor discipline. Blanketing

    seems to be a favorite pastime with

    the soldiers, they taking especial de-

    light in tantalizing every negro they ,, , -i I hibit at the St. Louis exposition. In can catch around camp or near rail-1

    GOD IS OVER ALL.

    To how many people does the old

    academy building, in its march to-

    ward back streets, teach a lesson and

    illustrate the mutations of the age?

    "Pis the very embodiment of the

    spirit of the times. The old is

    steadily forced into the past to make

    room for the new. Progress strides

    down the path of civilization. Evo-

    deavor, nor pause's even for a breath-

    upon the world with a glow more for

    reaching than the aurora borealis of

    the northern sky. Yesterday is bui

    a memory, today the theatre of

    action, tomorrow illimitable in possi-

    bilities. The supreme unselfishness of

    human nature compels our admira-

    tion when we reflect that none who

    labor today shall live to see the com-

    plete frutition of their efforts. They

    strive and toil and die, and ever

    leave the task undone. Hence there

    must be some divine guidance for

    the hands and hearts that strive for

    tor, and were told that the buyers

    on the different markets had the

    same scale of prices for the same

    grades, and would pay just as good

    prices here as elsewhere for the

    same grades. He stid further that

    when the farmers begin selling bet-

    The tobacco situation is one of the

    most complex that hasjeonfronted Un-

    people of eastern North Carolina in

    quite a while. Since the opening of

    the tobacco markets the first of

    August then has been much dis-

    Kicks & Wilkinson

    Greenville, N. C. Dear Sir: Let's have a little pri-

    vate talk by ourselves on busiuess; nobody else, please, read.

    You want to know how to do a cheap job ot painting, and have it look good. Here it is: The cheap- est tbiug there is in the way of a good-looking job—say nothing about its being good—is Devoe: the regular thing in Devoe.

    The reason is: Devoe goes fur- ther than anything else. Lead- and-oil is good looking; don't go so far and costs more. The other paints are more or less short in one way or auother don't go so far and costs more thau Deroe.

    Devoe costs least of all; you don't uiiud its lasting longer, do vout Wecau'thelp it; a paint that goes further lasts longer; we can't help it.

    Greenville's Great

    State Auditor Dixon says that he feels reasonably sure the valu atiouofall the propeity in this gtatewill be increased from 15 to 3o per cent., this including the tax on railways. He tbiuks that the total amount of taxes will be sufficient to meet the state's ex- penditures and thus relieve the situation which last year and so far this year has been quite a tioublesonie one. He expects con- siderable revenue from the whiskey tax under the uew law. Of course no one can tell yet what this tax will be, aud still less what it will be next year, as so many towns are going dry. Still, there is liability for the tax until the sa loous aud distilleries are elosed.— Raleigh Cor , Charlotte Observer-
