We hope that no issue will be ~sprung this year which will cause a division of our people. The general feeling now is to pull together for the laying aside of past differences and it will be our purpose to en courage that feeling as much as pos sible. The feeling of antagonism which once prevailed is' rapidly changing for the better and if those who have been entrusted with our political affairs will work for the making of good and wholesome laws, instead of manipulating for future political advancement, we see no rea son why the white people of this State cannot be reunited into one good strong political family. There should not be any Reform or Conser vative factions, as both have filled their missions and are of the pasti and we hope beyond resurrection. The advocates of Cuban independ ence, are ever ~yto manufacture some prejudice ~ig yarn to play upon the credulity bf the American people in order ?hat the sentiment to recognize Cuba might be made stronger. The latest yarn comes Ifrom the pen of James Creelmnan, the celebrated journalist, formerly with the New York World, but now with1 the Journal. Ee makes a serious charge against President Cleveland,a in which he claimshe has the proof that Cleveland has been plotting with Spain against Cuba, and he strongly tn+aae that the Presaident is in the .. eges is 0ud lose no time in g the President. We do believe there is the least founda ion for the charges made by this aoted correspondent, however, Con' gress should overhaul the evidewie that Creelman proposes to offer and Bee what there is in it. President Cleveland's position on the Spanish Cuban difficulty is the correct one in our opinion, and we see no reason for Americans to become excited over the out-come. If Spain succeeds in wiping out that mixed-breed set of fire-eaters on the Cuban isle, the ountry will be rid of their periodi cal insurrections, and if Cuban in pendence is won, it will not sto disturbances. Should theu e feat their adversaries, it w not be many months be ey will be fighting amon, emselves for the spoils, like other niggers after a game of craps. Already the correspondents of the daily newspapers are discussing the probable outcome of the dispensary law at the hands of the coming ses sion of our law-makers. There will be several plans to settle the much-vexed liquor question offered; but whether any of these plans will settle the problem remains to be seen. At present the dispensary sys tem is giving satisfaction to the masses; they prefer it to the old sys tem of barrooms. The dispensary is no longer a'factional fight and can now be discussed freely and fairly with no political ends to meet. When this matter is presented to our Representatives we hope that they will treat it as a question of public policy, regardless of the clamorings of those interested in the liquor traf fic or the advocates of prohibition. If prohibition can be made a prac tical fact, we believe the State would be better off if the sale of spiiitous liquors would be stopped entirely; but if prohibition is only a theory and cannot be carried out in pratoice, then our law-makers should give the S t in of the liquor ing rules go wit the grantng o i license. A town of 1,000 populatior cannbt support more than one bar rooni with a $1,000 license, and the individual securing the license would have a monopoly of the traffic in his baliwick, and in a city, the few whc could secure a high license would be compelled to offer extra inducements in order to make their business prof itable. Aside from the fact that the dis ~pensaries offer no inducements for the trade, experience has proven that in the smaller towns drunkenness has decreased and the sale of liquor has not caused the dread and annoyance which attended the bar system. It is our opinion that our law makers, after making such amendments to the law as will take away the friction in large cities, they will have A well en" We offer One Hundred Dollars Beward for any case of Catarrh that eannot be cured bHal's Catarrh Cure.

While he was at breakfast in Cin cinnati on the day after Christmas a New York yournal reporter asked Mr. Bryan whether he thought that the recent bank failures in Chicago and St. Paul were in any way due to the result of the recent election. His reply was: "All by this time know the underlying principles of free sil ver and the effects of the gold stan dard, and all can apply their own measuring sticks, and doubtless reach a true conclusion. If there have been any evidences of returning prosperity I have failed jto note them particularly. As to any permanent prosperity without free silver, the people of the United States will ave time to decide that point. Let the silver men not put a stone in the pathway of any man who will give prosperity, but let not the camp fires of free slvr burn out." A Michigan young lady named sler was so confident that Bryan would be elected that she staked one thousand kisses on him. The young man with whom the bet was made had got well along towards the half way mark in the collection when a ispute arose over the enumeration, o there was nothing to do but wipe ut the slate and take a recount, vhich is now progressing.

"I iave suffered with rheumatism in my joints nd numbness and swelling in my lhmbs. thought I would try Hood's Sarsaparilla nd have found it the only medicine that ould do me any good. IA has been of,. eat value to me and I recommend it to 11 sufferers from this disease." Mrs. J. . Brothers, 25 Wolf street. Hod's Pills are the only pills h-~ ej TEACHERS ASSOCIATION. During the early fall months a1 effort was made looking forward ti the organization of a County Teach ers Association. Mr. Gist Gee, c Jordan, being the prime mover. As result, a few teachers met early i ovember and organized. The firs regular meeting was held the las Saturday in November, at whic time, a very interesting and instruc tive program was carried out, an, every teacber present went away we pleased andt feeling that he or sh had been paid for the trip. Th last Sat in each month wa adopt the days for regU mee wing to the C ma ho first Satur in Ja piontedh the Dece The Association at it eting decided to edit anning Times. Th iings, of Packsville, we 'elected chief editor, but on aceout of illness he was prevented from fu] filling those duties. The :esult wa that arrangements could not be mad in time to edit the colum:4 arrange for acd thus the association could nc advertised as thoroughly as was th intention. Although several- teachei were present last Saturday,; it we thought best to postpone the mee ing until the last Saturday in Jac uary, at which time papers will b read by the following teachers: Miss Carrie Legg, The Rev. C. 'X Billings, P. A. McMaster, E. Browne and Ex-Superintendant Education L. L. Wells. The names of every white teacht in the county was enrolled as men bers. There is no fee charged. A that is asked is your presence an co-operation. 1t is every teacher duty to qualify himself or herself fc the duties entrusted to them and well organized and good workin teachers association affords a goo means of obtaining from the exper ence of others such ideas as will 1 best calculated to aid them in the work. Any one can by a momeni reflection see the benefits to be de rived. The social benefits are not t be disregarded, as a contact wit fellow-teachers always brightens ou ideas and helps to lighten the ardt ous duties of the school room. Ou efficient Secretary, the Rev. D. 2 Patrick, who has charge of a flourist ing school over in Salem has writte to a majority of the teachers of tb county asking their co-operation wit us. It is hoped that every teacher i the county will see this article an that they will be present at the ne3 meeting on January 30th. Tb meetings so far have been at th a extend an it likely to see this notice that it 1 sent them or their attention callo to it by any one who is interested the cause of education. Other matters in regard to i Association will appear during tI month until other arrangements a made; and it is earnestly desired I those who have taken an interest far, that all the teachers in the couni attend the meetings and by the presence encourage an effort whi< if carried out, will benefit all at thus put us in closer touch with eat other.

V. C. B3ADHAM, CANNIBAL KINU WEDS. Miss Collin Married to Oumalia, - Monarch of a Pacific Islan f Group. Colonel John F. Hobbs, 2 Oumalia of the Cannibal Isl t Illika, was qui 2 to Miss Ella ter's - home, says Thur; ew York Journal. Immed' ely following the e ceremony t ing, in the Kanaka a langus , proclaimed his bride queen 9 is kingdom. The king was not costumed in robes of ermine, but wore a conven - tional dress suit, while his bride s wore a gown of white satin and tulle with orange blossoms. The ceremony was the simple one t of the Lutheran church, and as the - minister proclaimed the couple man s and wife the royal groom raised his e hand above the bride's head and in a i slow, deliberate tone spoke in Kan t naka. As he concluded his secretary e translated the few sentences which s he said were: s "As I take you Ml alie, to my royal house I make you queen of women on my throne." e The world "Ml alie," the groom explained later, is equivelant to "my soul's spirit," which in the South Sea Islands is regarded as the highest term that can be applied to a women. King Oumalie is an American and r a native of Newberry, S. C., where he obtained his title as a member of 11 Governor Simpson's staff He was a journalist, assigned to the task of in s vestigating the Samoan labor prob r lem in the spring of 1890. a "It all seems like a dream," he said last night, alter the ceremony. "I was shipwrecked on the coast of New Hebrides, in the South Seas. Per e baps my white face may have had something to do with it, and perhaps it was myv training as a newspaper reporter that made me king, instead 0 of being put to death." b Then he related how two of the r stronger tribes were about to go to war. The military strength of one was 1,500 warriors and that of the other one-third the number. He was found by the latter and instead of being killed and eaten they made him understand the situation. He found their mode of warfare was for the chiefs to engage in battle with t the chief of the oiposing tribes and I the ordinary warriors to follow. He e ambushed a few hundred warriors, e then decoy chiefs into the field. . In half an hour the stronger tribe had a couple of hundred men and the 1 'des ),d e victory t a le ma e d CoL. Hobbs as honored guest, and then partook of such s lqrge repast of roast pig stuffed with bananas that ie he died. He had no heir to succeed ehim and a revolution was threatened. eHalf the population of 40,000 natives wanted the military chief to be pro ;claimed king, and the other half favored the civil chief. It meant rthe raisingin power of one .family' h and the lowering of araber. Thien d an old native suggested that the h stranger who had served their country be made their king. The 4eg .grew in popularity. The matter was laid before Colonel Hobbs. His consent ha provisions attached to it that . they did not at first take kindly to. eHe wanted cannibalism abolished. st If they would agree to this he would a be their king, otherwise the Great E White Spirit commanded him to g. lev nte. They consented, and he us, .jnv, and sne would Sendeavor to persuade him to spend a most of his time in this country. aCol. Hobbs and his bride will leave rto-day for Washington, after which they will visit Sojuth Carolina. The date of their return to their kingdom has not been settled. kdaer iN. ti. cousar.
