The Mabel Paige Company who were her during the .past season, gave ths Irish Comedy-Drama, “Inshavo- gue,’’ at the Opera House, on Mon day night, to a pretty fair house, and will continue through the week. They have some highly interesting plays that tney will render, anti which are sure to attract good audi ences. This Company is painstaking and conscientious and always carries out its promises. Little Mabel Paige captured the audience by her grace ful dancing, and of course everybody will want to See her again. Dancing however is merely one of her accom plishments, as she is, for her age, a most charming actress, and makes everyone who' hears her marvel at her talept She certainly promises .to develop into a noted actress. If the Company had no other attraction little Mabel would be enough to draw a full house. In our next issue we will add a new department to The Heeald, by devoting one or two columns, as the subject may demand, to the subject of tobacco culture, and trust that it may be of interest not only to those who are already engaged in its cul ture, but to those who contemplate giving it a trial. We will have, in this department, the assistance of a gentleman who has had experience in the business, and he will jflve pur readers the benefit of his knowledge. The fact is painfully apparent that we cannot rely entirely upon cotton, and as it has been demonstrated that tobacco can he cultivated and made to pay, it is a'matter of supreme im portance that every one who cfttK do so should give it a trial, and not give up on account of cue or two failures, Mi Mamie Ellis, 6f Florence, has accept® the position as teacher at this place.

We are reluctantly compelled to ask that onr subscribers who are in arrears should come forward and pay what they owe. The amount is a mere triffle to each individual, but the aggregate amount would be of great assistance to us. The price of the paper is so low that it leaves no margin to pay a commission to a regular collector, and we are com pelled to rely on the subscribers cop ing forward and paying up. The editor who does justice to himself and his readers, must devote all his time to the work of getting up the paper, and if he makes collecting tours its editorial and local depart ments must suffer for look of atten tion. Even with the most economi cal management it costs a great deal to get out a newspaper, but if its pa trons would appreciate this and pay up promptly, there woujd be ro possible, of general interest Don’t discuss politics, the editor will look after that Don’t write of auy thlBg that may call for future explanation or cor rection.

The pump at Dr. Parrott’s resi dence, oil New street, has, ever since it was put down about three years ago, been acting just like other pnmps and supplying the place with water, but it has, for the past week or two, been sending through the pump small particles of go’d, and shows some ambition to convert it self into a gold mind. These parti cles have been tested with acid by Mr.' Wolfram, the jeweler, who pro- nopnees them pnre gold. We do not know enough about inch.things to account for its presence in the water of that pirticular well, bnt feel safe in asserting that Darlington will not develop into a California. We hope that some of our scisntific friends will give an explanation of Fie presence of the gold, for that is what it undoubtedly is. Iu Memorial).

C. j October 12 1892. J Hon. F. M. Suisjons, Chairman, Raleigh N. C.: My Dear Sir: Answering your fa\ or of recent date, in which you ask me to give you for publication what 1 know about the existence in North Carolina of an Older known as the “Gideon Baud,” I would say, at Ga'csville in Gates county in De cember, 1892, Mr. 8. O' ho Wilson, in the presence Mr. Janus B. Brin son, ed’ Pamlioo county (district lec turer for the first district^, I being then State lecturer, proposed to me that J should become a member of the said order. 1 replied to Mr. Wil son that I could not cpnsetif to con nect myself with the‘baud unless lit wonlii first reveal to me the character and purpose of the Ol der. This he consented to do upon my promising secrecy. Mr. Wilson tbSa read me the obligation which he wished me, to tal e, and outlined: the general ob jects md purposes of the order. The obligation wjts a very rigid one, end according to my best reco lection the penalty of a disclosure of the order was death. The plan of orgafthSafioff was as follows: A national chief, a State cheif a county, chief. The State chief received his ordei s from the State chief, the district chief from the Slate chief and the county chief from the district chief from the dis trict chief. The membership in each Congressional district was 300, and each county, 1 think, no more than 10. This thirty were to lie es- pecia'ly selected for then- efficiency and influence, true and tried men ■who could be relied upon under .all circumstances in all meetings etc. . It was the duty of thes chiefs afid members to obey and ' xecute all orilers emenating from tneir superi ors. Mr. Wilson stated that the ob ject of the organization -as ..to aid and promote the Rtforni movement. The initiation fee was $.!.00. This conversation took place aftev Mr. Wilson’s return from the Indianapo lis Alliance Council. After Mr. Wilson had revealed the whole thing to me, I told I regarded the Movement, as outlined by him, as being a very dangerous or e, and that I thought it would rsgult in the de- stuctiou of the Alliance and defeat of tin Reform movenient then p:o- posed, and I positively refused to have anything to do with.
