Every summer for a number of years the most of the businéss of Statesville have closed at 7 o'clock. Some have mentioned that it would be better to give one week day as a holiday, and thus give the mer- chants a chance to get out, but it is safe to say that no arrangements like this will be made.

Winston-Salem Expects the Great- est Crowds in Her History—The World’s Greatest Evangelist, Who Has Preached to all the Great Nations of the World, to Begin a Meeting in the ‘“‘Twin- City’’ on June 20th, Expected to be the Greatest Religious Gath- ering the State Has Ever Known Winston-Salem, N, C., May 31.— The people of Winston-Salem are making extensive preparations for the great religious revival meet- ing to be conducted in this city for three weeks by Dr. R. A. Tor- rey, the world’s greatest evange- list. This is the smallest city, in which this wonderful man has held a meeting since his return to America, and it is almost by acci- dent that he has been secured. It is only in the larger cities that buildings ean be found to hold the immense throngs that gather to hear him, his audiences averaging from 5,000 to 20,000 daily. He has thus far desired to work where he could reach the greatest number of people. Fortunately every church in this city has united in this great move- ment, which it is hoped will make the beginning of a great awaken- ing throughout North Carolina. The Brown’s Warehouse, into which can be crowded 5,000 people will be used for the occasion. An immense choir will have charge of the music under the direction of able religious musical directors, and every effort will be put forth to provide boarding accommoda- tions for all who wish to come. The pastors of all churches are urged to announce this greatest of religious events to their congrega- tions to the end that every portion of the state may be represent- ed and may catch inspiration and celigious enthusiasm therefrom. ene College Faculty for 1909-10.

In the recorder’s court this morning Judge Sykes was faced With an urusual and unnatural situation. John Barbee, the son of Walter Barbee, was charged with being a vagrant. His father swore that he was a vagrant, that he did not work and that he was supported by his wife. The fath- er-inlaw, D. C. Chappell, swore same thing. Barbee came on the stand and said it was false, that he had been at work and was now engaged in paying off a bond that his father had paid. He was fol- lowed by his wife. She said John had been working and bringing in noney and_added that her father and his father had interferred in their family relations and wanted to get her away from him. The state did not put in any new evidence after resting and Judge Sykes gave Barbee thirty days on the roads. There was no appeal. In this case there appeared this: The father and father-in-law swore to facts that sent the young man to the roads, while the wife and defendant swore that both of the fathers had been busy in trying to break them up. It was an unusual and unnatural ease in criminal courts. oe — — +2 Not Enough Coffins in Town to Bury Dead.

C., June 1—For North Carolina local showers to- night or Wednesday in the inte rior. Fair on the coast. ae eee oe The Baltimore Sun is not much of a Democrat when election time comes. At least it very often bolts the Democratic platform and nominees. However as undemo- cratic it is at times it is democrat- ic on the tariff question. Its edi- torials on this question are on the side of the working man. The following editorial in yesterday’s Sun is so sensible that we desire to give it to our readers. “How cowd the tariff be revised so as to reduce the cost of living? The man with an income of $1,200 it is said, pays $460 a year to feed his family and $180 to clothe them. The remainder goes for house rent and incidentals, such as amusements, reading matter. tobaeco, doctors’ bills, ear fare and so on. Such a man may not feel any great interest in the tariff on nails and lumber and building ma- terial. What he wants is reduc tion in the price of food and clothes. In the matter of food the farmer gets little or no benefit from the tariff on agricultural pre ducts. The eef trust fix the price of the cattle it buys as well as of the meat it sells, and when heefsteaks are selling at 20 cr 25 eents a pound in market, that is no indication that the farmer is getting one cent more for his eat- tle than if the price of meat were 15 eents. England gets her chief meat supply in refrigerating ships from Australia and South Ameri ea. If the tariff on meat were abolished, the trusts would have -to compete with Australia and South America, and would prob- ably have to pay the farmer Just as much for eattle as is now paid. In The Sun’s market reports Sat- arday beef cattle were quoted in the Baltimore market at from 32 to 41-2 cents. Such prices as that do not justify the retail prices the people who get to market are com- pelled to pay. If the Beef Trust should offer less for cattle than the present prevailing prices, tar- iff or no tariff, they eould not af- ford to raise them. Farmers could not afford to raise them. There- fore, to put meat on the free list would greatly reduce the cost of living. Next to meat one of the most expensive of the necessaries of life is sugar. Each year between 75 and 80 pounds of sugar is con- sumed by “each person.

The wounded man is suffering agonies and has been hurried to a Norfolk hospital in the hope of saving the eye. —____*4~@>-e——_— Forced Into Exile. Wm.

This is a new preparation and a good one. It is especially valua- ble as a eure for chronie and mus- cular rheumatism, and for the re- lief from pain which it affords in acute inflammatory rheumatism. Those who have used it have inva- riably spoken of it in the highest terms of praise. Lame back, lame shoulder and stick neck are due to rheumatism of the muscles, usual- ly brought on by exposure to eold or damp, and are quickly cured by applying this liniment freely and massaging the affected parts. Soreness of the muscles, whether induced by violent exercise or in- jury, is allayed by this liniment. For sale by al druggists.

Washington special to The News and Observer says: Senator Overman had quite a colloquy with Senator Depew of New York this afternoon on the matter of the Suppression of the evidence furnished by the German Government to this country through the Secretary of State and sent to the finance committee on April 4th, the reports showing that the wage in Germany was much higher than the statement of the wages as disclosed by the . finance committee. Senator Depew was indignant that the German manufacturers should send evidence over here for the purpose of influencing leg- islation in order to get the tariff down, so that they could compete with our manufacturers. Senator Overman interrupted the Senator and stated that the whole speech of the Senator from New York was predicted upon the assumption that the statement sent her by the German govern- ment through the state depart ment were voluntary and asked him if he had information to base that assertion upon, as it was a very serious imputation upon the German Government. Senator Depew said he had been told so. Senator Overman asked him if he received such informa tion from ithe state department. and he said no. This allegation of the Senator from New York that the papers were sent voluntary by the Ger-- man government created some- what of a sensation and resulted in uncovering Senator Aldrich, who sprung to his feet and made the statement that, although he had sat quietly during the speech of Senator Depew and others and heard them charge that this was a meddlesome interference upon the part of Germany he said the «tatement must not go unchal- lenged ; that the fact was that the papers. statements and statistics ‘sent to the State Department were furnished at the request of the United States“Ambassador at Ber- lin and sent through the German Ambassador to this Government. It also developed from the _ President’s message to the Senate that this testimony was transmit- ted to the Finance Committee more than a month ago. Because of its unfavorable character it was suppressed by Senator Aldrich and the Republicans of the Finap- ce committ22. Senater Overmars question had the effect of bringing out this important disclosure and will also save this country the necessity of diplomatic correspon- dence with Germany. Se ea Miss Katy Lee Somers left this morning for Charlotte where she will join Miss Madie Morrison. From there they will go to Colum- bia, S.

I will not permit myself, if pos- sible, to speak while angry. If I must speak before I can control / my anger, I will force myself to speak in a low tone of voice. I will not make a bitter retort to one person who speaks to me in anger. (2) I wiil not gossip about the failings of another, nor permit any other person to speak such gossip to me. Gossip will die, with all its baleful, deadly train of slander and broken hearts and blighted lives, when it cannot find a listen- er. (3) I will respect weakness and defer to it on the street-car, on the train, in the store, and in the home, whether it be in man or woman. (4) I will always express grat- itude for any favor or service ren- dered to me on the spot and at once. If prevented from doing it, then I will seek an early opportu- nity to give utterance to it in the most gracious way within my powe:. (5) I will not fail to express sympathy with another’s sorrow or to give hearty utterance to my appreciation of good work by an- other, whether the party be friend- ly to me or not. One buttonhole bouquet offered amid life’s stress of trial is worth a thousand wreaths of roses laid on a man’s coffin who died discouraged and broken hearted. (6) I will not talk about my personal ailments. If my should- er is rheumatic, or I have the gout im my big toe, or my knee joints are stiff, it will be one of the sub- jects on which I am silent and not open to interview. North Carolina Senator Brings. Out Important Point. A Washington special to The News and Observer says: Senator Overman had quite a colloquy with Senator. Depew of New York this afternoon on the matter of the Suppression of the evidence furnished by the German Government to this country through the Seeretary of State and sent to the finance committee on April 4th, the reports showing that the wage in Germany was much higher than the statement of the wages as disclosed by the . finance committee. Senator Depew was indignant that the German manufacturers should send: evidence over here for the purpose of influencing leg- islation in order to get the tariff down, so that they could compete with our manufacturers. Senator Overman interrupted the Senator and stated that the whole speech of the Senator from New York was predicted upon the assumption that the statement sent her by the German govern- ment through the state depart ment were voluntary and asked him if he had information to base that assertion upon, as it was a very serious imputation upon the German Government. Senator Depew said he had been told so. Senator Overman asked him if he received such informa tion from the state department. and he said no. This allegation of the Senator from New York that the papers were sent voluntary by the Ger-- man government created some- what of a sensation and resulted in uncovering Senator Aldrich, who sprung to his feet and made the statement that, although he had sat quietly during the speech of Senator Depew and others and heard them charge that this was a meddlesome interference upon the part of Germany he said th» «tatement must not go unchal- lenged; that the fact was that the papers. statements and statistics sent to the State Department were furnished at the request of the United States Ambassador at Ber- lin and sent through the German Ambassador to this Government. It also developed from the _ President’s message to the Senate that this testimony was transmit- ted to the Finance Committee more than a month ago. Because of its unfavorable character it was suppressed by Senator Aldrich and the Republicans of the Finap- ce committe. Senate; Overmar’s question had the effect of bringing out this important disclosure and will also save this country the necessity of diplomatic correspon- dence with Germany. ———_2 «<> -.

Baltimore Leans to New York— Charleston Side of the Contro- versy. Baltimore Sun. The New York Tribune and The Charlotte Observer are engaged in violent hostilities over the material ! out of which johnnycake is, or should be made. The Tribune de- clared that this famous bread is made of cornmeal. The Charlotte Observer said that The New York Tribune did not know what john nycake is. Johnnycake, said The Observer, is made from flour, and not from cornmeal, and The T bune had counfounded it with hoe- cake and corndodger. <At this point Major Hemphill, of The Charleston News and Courier, got into the fray and _ affirmed that The Charlotte Observer was dense- ly ignorant of a matter of which it should have been better infonm- ed. Johnnycake in South Caroli- na our esteemed contemporary declares, should always be made from the cornmeal of South Caro- nina ground in the old water mills of Pickens county, turned by streams of clear water running through faces lined with ferns and grasses and under the shade of immomorial oaks. What is the matter with the water mills of Maryland and old Virginia? In Maryland the johnnycake is made just from such cornmeal as that of which the News and Courier speaks. No one in this state, and probably no one in Virginia, ever heard of johnnycake made of flour if flour is to be used for a quickly made bread, it is usually termed **griddle-cake,’’ and is not cooked on a board before the fire as johnnycake is. In Maryland john- nycake was more commonly used in the good old days when cooking Was done over an open fire and cooking stoves were unknown. ‘Fhe cornmeal dough was spread thinly on a board, usaully one care- fully selected from the head of a flour barrel, and then propped with a brick behind it, in front of abed of glowing coals. In hog- killing times ‘‘erackling’’ johnny- ¢ake was a much esteemed delica- ey. But the idea of ~putting pumpkin into it is a new one ip this part of the country. In the main The Tribune is right in its contention and The Observer is wrony. But the Tribune lets its poetic nature get away with it when it talks of johnnycake made of “‘golden grains of cornmeal.’’ No one who could help it ever used yellow corn for meal of any kind, «xcept for chicken feed. To make good cornbread, freshly ground meal, made of white flinty corn and ground coarse is required. Meal is often improved by the ad- dition of a little small hominy or grits. ~~ THE NEWS OF FAITH. ee Two Deaths Near Faith—Faith Granite Company Rectives Large Order. Mrs. Hineeman, widow of the late Daniel Hinceman, died Mon- day at the home of her son, Mar- shall Hineeman at Granite Quarry, at the advaneed age of 78 years. Mrs. L. M. Peeler received a phone message today announcing the death of her uncle, Otho Cau- ble. of near Salem Church. The Faith Granite Company has a contract to furnish the granite for the big cotton mill to be built at Danville, Va. This is quite a large contraet and will amount to several hundred dollars. Mr. H. A. Grealer, of Coneord was in Faith today and left his order for a millstone. The young people who were go- ing to the Mt. Pleasant school have returned to their homes for vaca- tion. The large number of granite quarries here are thronged with work, which means more money and better times for this section of the county. ——> + = Duty, is a victory won.

Washington, June 2.—If the authorities find it possible to bring about a strict enforcement of the law, which is hirhly doubt- ful, there wili be no more white bread after today. Under a new statute it will be unlawful to sell flour that has been bleached. A provision of the pure food prohibits the practice. The reason for the prohibitive clause is that flour is deteriorat- ed by the bleaching process. Both the flavor and nutritive quali- ties are impaired, How the de- mand for flour that would make bread of almost chalky white- ness grew, would be hard to ex- plain. It developed as other fads develop, and the stomach bore an added burden in order that the fad of the eye might be grati- fied. Mrs. M. &. Campbell Seriously Ml. Mrs. M. E.

In a word, the aninal has claims on man and man has duties to the animal. Cruel treatment of an animal shows the spirit of a ty- rant, and the man who will wil- fully abuse an animal will mis- treat his family. It shows a bru- tal spirit in the man.

The Newton Enterprise gays that at one time the valley of Lower Creek in Caldwell county raised enough corn to supply Caldwell county and that now on this same land practically nothing is rJsed. In Iredell county there are thous- ands and thousands of acres of low bottom land that are practically worthless. At one time these lands were the most productive parts of the county. When they got too wet to eulti- vate they were turned into mead- ews and produced large crops of fine hay. Now they are gradually getting too wet to mow and many of them are covered with standing water which makes them useless for pasture. Many of the streams of the county are filled with sand until the water is level with the top of the land. How to successfully darin these lands is a question of great import- tance to the people of the entire county. Not only is the land thus overflowed of no value as it stands but the stagnant water is a posi- tive injury to the health of the people. It would be safe ta say that if the county was well drain- ed and the channels of the streams sufficiently deepened the value of the property of the county would be enhanced more than a million dollars. We hope aii: practical method of dredging our streams will he invented. Se SR laa SL Looking One’s Best.

A taste for reading is an acqui- sition, the worth of which is hard- ly to be overestimated; and yet a majority of children, even those favored by circumstances, grow up without it.

An act of heroism followed, when the older of their sons after working valiantly despite his injuries, man- aged to extricate himself from the fallen timbers and debris of the house and then rescued the other members of the family in turn. Mrs. Thompson was very seriously hurt, but the others of the family sustained injuries less grave, though very painful. Two tenant houses on the place of J. C. Walker were destroyed and their colored occupants injur- ed. Tenant houses on the places of Thomas Lee and John Robbins were also wrecked but no one was killed. In places large pine trees were twisted from their roots, so great was the storm’s violence. Many of those who were caught by the cyclone, saw_it_approach- ing but owing to its velocity were unable to find places of safety be- fore it struck. It is said that the storm’s appearance was that of an ordinary whirlwind, such as are frequently seen in summer, though it was very much larger and mov- ed with much greater rapidity. + Commencement at University of North Carolina.

WHITE, - - - Editor. Weather Forecasts. Washington, D. C., June 5.— For North Craolina fair tonight and Sunday. —___< «+ In discussing the Aldrich tariff bill The Commoner says: “If the Democrats who have Op- posed free lumber opposed it on the ground that, while platforms are generally binding, this plat- form was not binding upon them, it is incumbent upon them to show either that they were elected be- fore this platform was adopted. or that in their campaign they openly repudiated the platform and gave notice of their adherence to a different doctrine. Even the senators elected before the plat- form was adopted might feel just- ified in giving consideration -to a platform endorsed by so large a vote at the polls. The Democrat who sets his judgment up against the declarations of his party as. sumes the burden of proof to es- tablish the righteousness of his position and the error of the posi- tion taken by his own party.”’ —————~++@>-e——__. CHARACTER BUILDING. —_——A-— What the religion of Christ de sires of us is, not that we should alter the outward form of our life, but that we should infuse a new spirit into it, even the spirit of Christ. It is not that we should renounce the business, or occupa: tion, or profession formerly ours, but that we should carry it op henceforth, realizing it to be a way in which God is with us, by which He is leading us, by which He will bring us up to a promised heritage at the last—Ex. -—__—_++@>-—____ KINDNESS. Did it ever oceur to you that ‘‘kindness’’ was one of the ele- ments of humility? Indeed, it is only the humble person that is in x condition to show kindness to others, for the opposite of kind- ness is unkindness, and there ean be no humility where there is un. kindness. The unkind person is the one who is always demanding that others serve and bend to his wishes ; and this is an accentuated form of arrogance, or ‘‘self-asser- tion.’” Kindness of heart and pride of manner never go togeth- er.—Selected. +t A CHEERFUL FACE. Next to the sunlight of heaven is a cheerful face. There is no mistaking it—the bright eye, the unclouded smile, all tell of that which dwells within. Who has not felt its electrifying influence? One glance at this face lifts us out of the mists and shadows into the beautiful realms of hope. One cheerful face in the household will keep everything warm and light within. It may be_a very plain face, but fhere is something in it we feel, yet cannot express; and its cheery smile sends the blood dancing through our veins for very joy. Ah, there is a world of magic in the plain cheerful face, and we would not exchange it for all the soulless beauty that ever graced the fairest form on earth. —_—++2 > —___ HE POINT OF VIEW. {n Jooking at the virtues of our- selves and others our earthly per- spective shows us our own, near at hand, very large; those of others, at a distanee, “very small. But when faults are the objects ee t reverse the prospéctive. The hu- man eye, it is said, can take in human heart can take in but one side of a question at a time. And when that side is mine how differ- ently it appears from when it is thine! The mote or the beam—the amiable weakness or the grievous fault—it all depends upon the point of view. And yet. though we are so blind and erring, we do know how to give good gifts to those we love. To them we impute the best mo- tives, and refuse to see their Yaults. How much more shall our Heavenly Father give to those who ask the good gifts of light and love and understanding. And with the coming of his presence into our hearts our spiritual hori- zon will widen out until we see all men as brothers, and see and seek the good in them, rather than the evil. --——_—4 <> -e - A BOY’S MOTHER. Baltimore Sun. If he realized the suffering and sorrow he would bring to his mother, would a boy ever go wrong? ‘‘Feel?’’ exclaims the re- juvinated ‘“‘Aunt Mary.” ‘If men only knew how strongly we women feel, there wouldn’t be a bad man in the world.’ The other day a young man, who is said to have been the com- panion of thieves and_ hold-up men, confessed that he had killed “a man in a quarrel over a bottle of whiskey. The dead man himself, he said, was a professional high- way robber just out of the peni’- tentiary. Neither in the victim nor the slayer nor any cireum- stance of the case does there seem to be one redeeming feature. And yet behind this young man of the depths stands a loving old mother, who sorrows more in her little home than does her son in bis prison cell. ‘‘I hope they won’t hang him,’’ she moans; ‘‘I’d rather they would hang me. My boy is the only child I have. He was a good boy until his eigh- teenth year, when he began to act queerly. He and } lived together, and he seemed to do very well, then he seemed to go to pieces and took to roaming around again.”’ The same old story of a mother’s love and trust anda _ son’s wild wanderings. As long as a boy stays with his mother and in his home he is not likely to go wrong But when he goes out into the world and casts off her restraining influence, he may fall a victim to the thousand temptations that be- set him unless he has his charac- ter so fixed aud moulded by home training that it is strong enough to withstand temptations as the oak withstands the winds and storms. The boy who comes from a home where marality, right and honesty have been instilled by practice and example, as well as hy precept, is not likely to go wrong. This is where home training comes in. He may fall now and then, but the ties that bind him are strong enough to draw him back again. Yet many a mother sits and sighs for her boy who can no longer guide his wandering feet. For the world is very wide, and now and then the strongest of us stumble and fall. He cannot be shielded, but in his youth in the home he can’be trained and nur- tured and made strong. Now and then you see an exception, now and then you see where the best influences have failed; but, as a rule, out of good homes come good men. For precept and _ practice are not Tost. but are builded into the firm structure of characfer, But wherever he goes, no mat- ter to what heights he ascends or to what depths he falls; a boy is followed by his mother’s love.

Da n t e TWILIGHT THOUGHTS. ae Henry Blount in The Charlotte Chronicle. Faith is that plastic brush with which we paint in richest ang most gorgecus colorings the sceres of rapture that make so sweeet and thrilling the paradise of God. A sweet and contented disposr tion is better than riches and hon- ors and high preferment, for it sees glistening scenes of joy and gladness in every object, and hears a song of delight im every murmuring ripple of life’s melod- ious current. When a woman around whom a ynan has woven the garland of wor ship, withdraws her affections and bestows her earresses of endear- ment upon another, earth becomes a hell of wretchedness, and life is coaded with its sharpest thorns of torture. A young man ahd fallen upon the field of battle with a death dealing bullet in his side. His com- rades saw death inevitable and shuddered and wept, but he was calm and cool, and unafraid, for he said, with the sweetest smile of satisfaction upon his face, “I am not afraid, all is well, for moth er is praying for me, and if her prayers cannot stay the hand of death, they will open for me the vates of Heaven.’’ And with a gasp his soul-entered the paradise of God. His faith in his mother’s prayers, and her faith in the grace of God robbed death of its terror. and brightened its shadows by the radiant beamings of the blessed hope of blissful immortality. God be praised for praying mothers. Every Saturday afternoon when we are in Wilson we stroll through our dear, sweet, precious Maple- wood—the meeting place between earth and Heaven, and where so many loved ones are sleeping in the dreamless slumber found in those windowless palaces of peace and rest, end over whose sodded roofs the stars above drop their silver tears as they hold their noiseless vigils o’er the pale faced sleepers within, and where the zephyrs breathe their soothing lullaby as a requiem to the dead. And last Saturday even ine we saw a fond and devoted mother bowed in bitterest anguish over a little grave in which the remains of her angel child were resting—free from pain, and se- eure from the ills that life would have brought it. The briny mes sengers of grief, which ran down the eyelids, told of the billows of anguish that were sweeping over the ocean of bereavement. We made no attempt to soothe the wound of her bleeding heart. Words of solace cannot calm the wild surgings of those stormy bil- lows of anguish that sweeep through the heart when a worship ed image has been torn from its devoted tendrils. The dark clouds must needs melt in rain and so does grief in tears, and as the bright cheer-giving sunbeams eome forth to weave the warp of their brilhaney into the woof of the clouds, and bend o’er the sky an arch of rarest loveliness form- ed of all the exquisite tintings born in the rainbow so the blessed sunlight of the Christian religion will. in God’s own time, lend its mellowing and radiating gleams of resignation to tint with its ro- seate colorings of comfort and sol- ace the now blackened clouds of anguish and bereavement.

C. TEACHER3’ ASSEMBLY. Dave Yount, Colored, Behind Prison Bars Charged With De- stroying the Child of Mag Mc- Lelland, Colored. A warrant was sworn out Sun- day by Sheriff Deatou against Mag McLelland arid Dave Yount color- ed, charging them with infanti- cide. z The facts in the case, as nearly as we can gather them, are as fol- lows: Mag MeTelland lives near Tradd street above Steele’s brick yard and Dave Yount lives in the same section of town. Sunday after- noon information reached Sheriff Deaton that something was wrong at the home of Mag. He went down to investigate and when he reached the house he found Yount in the house with Mag MeLelland. As Sheriff Deaton approached Yeunt attempted to go aut at a back door but was stopped by the sheriff. When asked if a child had been born there he denied it. Sheriff Deaton then took Yount back into the room where Mag was and he asked Mag if a child had not been born there a few days ago. She said there had. He asked her where it was and she answered that it was dead. He then asked where it was and she answered that it was buried but she did not know who buried it. Dave McLelland said that a col- ored man from Eufola took the baby and buried it but he did not know who it was. Deaton then told Dave that he would have to go with him to the court house and be a witness in the case. The county physician was noti- fied and went back to the home to investigate further. Yount ad- mitted at the court house that he buried the child but said it was dead. He went with the officers to an old field near Steele’s brick yard and showed them where it was. The body was exhumed and it was examined by Dr. Adams. He said the child was probably born alive and lived for some time. room after the child was born and heard it ery. Mag McLelland ad- mitted that it was born alive and she said it was born premature which was substantiated by Dr. Adams. All of the colored people present said that when it was bu- ried it was dead. Dave Yount buried it in a shoe box without any clothes on it. This afternoon Yount was brought before Esq. Turner for a re-hearing and was commited to jail in default of a $500 bond. —_——_~~ar Death of an Aged Lady. Mrs. Martha Jane Brooks, who lived in West Statesville, died at the home of Mr. M. L.

All life is spent in meaning to over take it and enjoy it. Meanwhile we toil, drudge, and grow old, passing by with unmseeing eye the happiness we might get out of every day. Yes, every sordid, commonplace day has its wealth of enjoyment for us, if we only take the trouble to get it out. There are the friends we love, and who love us. If we stopped to think of it, this consciousness would gladden life. There is the beauty of the earth. Did we only open our eyes to see it, we should be made glad in spite of ourselves. There are some people who have lived on earth thirty or forty years who eould scarcely tell you the color of the sky, from their own observa- tion. They take it for granted it is blue because they hear so. There are dozens of simple pleasures we might enjpy. Ten minutes every day with a fasci- nating book; an inexpressive little jaunt with our family or a con- genial friend, fifteen minutes of bright, intelligent conversation with the home folks, or on some other subject than the sordid de- tails of making ends meet; a few minutes in an art gallery, just to Wok at one good picture—these are some of the little everyday] happinesses we might take, and don’t, not because we are too poor, but because we haven't thought them worth while. We are too busy aiming at some big, expen- sive pleasure in the future. Make up your mind, then, that the big pleasure will always elude you. We shall never enjoy life ‘until we learn to enjoy the little happiness of every commonplace day as it comes. I Read This.

Just as he reached the woods Moore fired, but missed then fired again and one shot hit Everhart in the neck. Moore then turned on Hubbard Everhart and told him he would give him two min- utes to get on his horse and get away. However, Everhart didn’t need but about ten seconds—he skiddooed in a hurry. After this Moore took to the woods and at this writing has not been caught. No one can account for the strange actions of Moore for he has always been considered a harmless peaceable old negro.

The increase in the levy was the only alternative the | commissioners seemed to have. Six cents of the increase on the property was for the jail and 1 1-2 cents for the As many as 5 different had recommended that a new jail be built and under threat of indictment the commis- sioners were forced to build the jail. The 1 1-2 cents increase for public education was absolutely necessary to secure a four months session schools. grand juries terms in every district in the coun- ty. Of course the salaries of the teachers could have been reduced and a four months term secured The fact is that others counties already pay their teachers more than we and as a result the best teachers are constantly leaving and going to other places. The county is undertaking and is doing great things and of course it taKes money to do it. The com- missioners wrestled with the ques- tion a good long time trying to devise some plan whereby the levy would not have to be increased. but nothing but would build the jail and carry on the other works of the county and a tax levy was the only way to raise the money. without an increase. money We feel that the commissioners did the proper thing, and while a few, no doubt, will criticise the increase we believe a great ma- jority of the people of the county are perfectly willing to pay for im- provements so necessary for the welfare of the eguntry. ——__—+<+<>-»—____. One of the unexplainable things which every teacher is compelled to witness with sincere regret is the constant effort on the part of many parents, strong in ability an? character, because of having been compelled to win their own way in the midst of extreme diffi- eulty, to remove every semblance| of difficulty from the educational pathway of their children, by practically getting their lessons for them, thus robbing them of the ehance to grow strong by their own efforts. In too many in- Stances the benefits of home study are practically lost to the child because of the mistaken kindness of an over-indulgent father and mother. Many children of wealthy and worthless in life because they are| neither taught to work nor to re- spect those who do work. If the pnblic school insists upon honest effort as the only condition of suc- cess, such children are usually withdrawn from it and placed in some fashionable private school where money is supposed to be able to purchase what the child is too lazy to learn. In all probabil- ity, the father worked his way through college, but the indolent son must be sent to the most ex- pensive institution of learning the country affords, given all the money he wants, to be squandered as he sees fit, and, when vacation eomes, has to be sent to some sea- side resort to recuperate his ex- hausted energies for another sea- son of educational effort. Sometimes a child of real pro- mise is spoiled by being made to feel that, because he is bright, hard study is not nceessary. Per- haps, no more dangerous notion can enter the head of a young person than the notion that he can succeed by his wits without hon- est, persistent effort.’ Thomas Edison has been quoted as saying that success is made up of five per rent of ability and ninety-five per cent of hard work. The probabil- ities of accomplishing something worth while in the world are nich greater for the student who puts forth one hundred per cent of effort in conneetion with seven- ty per cent of ability than for the one who has one hundred per cent st ability but uses only seventy per cent of effort. tight here is a danger point in our school work. The tendency is to let down the standard of effort and assume that, if the child goes fo school with remarkable regu- larity, he will absorb knowledge and the ability to use it. To guard against this fallacy, the home and schoo] should unite in instilling the old-time lesson of the absolute necessity of old-fashioned hard work as the only means of getting an education which is to be of any use in practical life. ———++@>-»—___. AN ARRAY OF MULES. A Big Lot to Work on New Ma- cadam Road. Friday’s Winston Sentinel says: An imposing array of big strong mules passed through the business section of the city this morning, each having a smiling darkey astride, dressed in overalls, and the procession excited no little interest. The mules arrived here today and will be used by the contrac- tors in the construction of the new macadam road to Salisbury, the bid for which was recently let by the county commissioners to D. A. Johnson and Company, of Char- lotte. Work on the new road road will be started now as soon as the rain ends, the contractor has his material here. ° (This is the same force that passed through Statesville last week.) ) —_——++2>--—_____.

At the commencement this week of the Normal and Indus- trial College, at treensboro, President Foust brought out these three facts from the reports furnished by the students them- selves, showing the character of the patronage of the institution: “1. That nearly one-third of the students of the past year de- frayed their own expenses. “2. That 65 per cent. would have attended no other North Carolina college. “3. That 94 per cent. received their praparation partially or entirely in the public schools.” You cannot argue away a fact. These speak trumpet-tongued for the usefulness of the public schools and the high ambition and industry of the young wo- men. Young women who work to pay for their education know its true cost in money as well as in effort. How many young wo. m2n whose fathers spend hun- drens and thousands of dollars to send them to school put the true value on education? How many really work hard to mast- er the course? 2143-8 Of Interest to Farmers and Me chanics.

A cut or bruise may be cured in about onethird the time usually required by applying Chamber- lain’s Liniment as soon as the in jury is received.

A Party of Stat€sville Men Go out to Shoot Frogs and Shot a Mule _-Arrested and Two of Them Bound Over to Court. Monday evening Leonard Lackey Cjeet Bass, Dillard Jarvis and [sum Speaks went down to the Wallace Springs, about two miles gouth of Statesville to go in wash- shoot frogs. At least it is claimed they went for this pur- pese and they were heard to say that they were shooting frogs, al- though they denied it at the trial. The above named parties were at a pond near the spring, which is on the land of Mr. Isidore Wal- lace. Andy GTénn, colored, lives near there on the land of Mr. Wal- lace, and about dark, while eating supper he heard some shooting down in the meadow near the pond where he had hitched his mule to eraze. About 9 o’clock he went down to see if anything was the matter and when he got down there he found his mule d#wn and unable to get up. It was bloody aud upon examination it was found to have been shot in the shoulder. The mule died later. These par- ties were seen down there before dar—k by Glenn’s wife who reco- gnized them. Upon learning the facts, Deputy Sheriff Ward, who is also Game Warden of the Au- dubon Society, swore out a war- rant for them for shooting frogs. The parties doubtless thought that they were to be tried for shooting the mule, and after they were ar- rested, Speaks told Deputy Sher- if Ward that they were doing nothing but shooting frogs and had killed about 8. Mr. J. M. Stikeleather also heard them make the statement. They were brought before Squire W. W. Turner last night and while on the witness stand Speaks and Jarvis denied shooting frogs but said they were in washing. They also swore that Speaks shot five times and Jarivs shot three times and _ that they shot straight up. One of the oth- er men said he told them to not shoot out as they might hit a tree or something else. They said they saw the mule and he was still graz- ing when they left about 9:30 p. m. Atter hearing the evidence Justice Turner bound Isum Speaks and Hillard Jarvis over to the next term of superior court in the sum of $200 each. The death of the mule is quite a loss of Andy Glenn. He had just bought the mule from Mr. Isidore Wallace last year for $180. ——_+<+>-»—___- ing and Where Was Noah Logan Born?

We have often heard of snakes eating eggs—hen eggs—but we never knew just how they went about it until Saturday we learn- ed the secret from an eye witness. It was over in Rowan county | where the black snake swallowed four hen eggs. He found the nest under an apple tree and al- though the eggs were larger around thar the snake’s head, his neck or even his body, he had no trouble in getting them pushed down the narrow passage. You could see them go down without any trouble and when the four eges were in the snake you eould see the four knots on the snake. But how did he. digest them? Well that was an easy proposition for Mr. Blacksnake. He crawled up to the body of the apple tree, wrapped himself around it and tightened himself up until pop, pop, pop, pop and all the eggs were broken. —__~++@>->—_——_ “A HALF MILLION FIRE.

Mr. Ackert, pro- mised, we understand, to give a definite answer in from thirty to sixty days. If he has made an answer we have not heard of it. The thirty days has surely expired and the time until the expiration -¥of the sixty days will not be as long as it has been.

Statesville and vicinity was vis- ited yesterday evening by one of the greatest down pours of rain that has fallen for some time. The rain seemed to be heaviest just north of Statesville. The cloud gathered about 6 o’clock and came from the northeast. The down pour was continuous for sev- eral hours, and one or more heavy rains fell sometime during the night. Great damage was done to the bridges. The one on the Wilkes- boro road 2 miles northwest of Statesville near Capt. W. H. H. Gregory’s was washed away. The foundations were undermined and the entire structure damaged. It had been built only about two years. The first bridge at the old Davis mill place on the Turners- burg road was washed away, also the one at the five mile branch just completed was washed some distance down the creek. These were all new bridges built by the chain gang force during the last two years, and the loss to the county and the inconvenience to the pubile is great. The McEwen bridge about five miles north of Statesville on the Wilkesboro road is said to be greatly damaged by the high wa- ters. The bridge across ‘‘Greasy”’ creek just this side of Mr. Walter Morton’s in Chambersburg town- ship is said to be impassible. The crops along many of the streams are entirely destroyed and the up- land greatly damaged. The bridges will be rebuilt as quickly as possible. Chairman N. B.

SIR EDWARD GREY London, June 8.—The war note was sounded today by for. eign Secretary Sir Edward Grey addressing the Imperial Press conference- He said that Great Britain’s policy was to keep whatfhe had got, to quarrei as little as possible with other coun tries and to uphold the ideals by which Britons set so much store. He dwelt onthe increase of armaments in Europe and the menace to Britain that in constituted. Referring to “the serious words” spoken by Lord Rose. bury at the conference banquet on Saturday night when he char- acterized the out-look a3 menac- iog and appalling, Sir Edward said emphatically: “I endorse every word he said, here is far to much a t stake to allow our naval expenditure to fall behind that of our nations The last two yeais have made clear how great are the the re- sources of the empire.” —— 4 Bitteii by the Genius Bug. “That boy thar,’’ said the Bill- ville parent, ‘I’m blast ef I know jest what to make o’ him; he’s so queer!’’ ““That so?”” “‘Shore is.

Mr. Chas. E. Vickery to be at the Court House Tonight and Will Show Scenes From World Trav- el in Motion Pictures. The moving picture show at the court house tonight, illustrating missions in foreign lands promises to be very instructive. Mr. Vick- ery has secured’a number of pic- tures telling fully the story of the world. He showed in Charlotte last week and the Charlotte News says: “In one seene Mr. Vickery showed the medical missionary sta- tions. The waiting room was shown crowded with patients, waiting to be treatéd and, and dur- ing the time they are under the care of the physicians, they are being taught the Christian relig- ion. One announcement thrown on the screen told that in 1807 there was not a single American missionary on the foreign field and, of course, no converts of American missionaries. It was in- deed interesting then to watch the progress which has been made since that date. ““The scenes were taken from Africa, the wild, untamed pro- vinees, China, “India and Japan. Some very beautiful scenes were displayed especially in Japan and portions of China. “In India, there were shown pictures of the holy men lying on their beds of torture. These men spend the greater part of their lives inflicting self torture on their bodies, thinking that this will, in the end, bring them peace. There was shown a picture of the ‘‘spike bed’’ used by thége misguided be- ings. Ona bedlike constructed object, filled with sharp spikes 6 or 8 inches long on which recline these old men all day. Mr Vick- ery and his party when in India cbtained and brought to America with them one of these beds which is now in New Ycrk. “In India Mr. Vickery stated, there are 25,000,000 widows which means practically slavery for this from 15 years of age up. “But all the scenes were not of the dark side, and pictures show- ing the work accomplished by mis- sionaries came as a happy conclu- s10n. The scenes were very in- teresting and undoubtedly many people left the church with a greater love and faith in foreign missions.’’ —~+ee—_—___—_ SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS.

VANCE NORWOOD, Publisher. L. 0. WHITE, - - - Editor. —— -— Weather Forecasts. Washington, D. C., June 9.— For North Carolina showers to- night or Thursday. RO i We noticed in the Ansonian that-the tax listers of Anson coun- ty got together and agreed upon a basis of valuation for the property ef the county. The best grade of mules and horses was fixed at $250, catle $50, corn 80¢ bushel, wheat $1.00 per bushel and other things in proportion. If property were valued at that rate in this eounty the rate of the tax levy eould be greatly reduced and enough and more money would be raised than at the present rate. We think the idea of arranging for a uniform Dasis of valuation is a good one. The property in many townships of Iredell county is not valued at much more than one half of the valuation of other townships. A uniform valuation should be given for the property throughout the county. + The devotion of the old Con- federate soldier to the Lost Cause is something sublime. As the time since that terrible struggle length- ens, the chord that binds his heart to the cause and to his fellow com- rades grows stronger. No mat- ter what the difference in politics or religion or in the vocation of life the old soldiers have a tender affection for each other. Year by year their numbers grow less and year by year their devotion grows stronger. Every year they love to gather at their annual reunions and discuss those stirring times. Those brave hearts that once knew no fear are now grow- ing old and feeble.

The Woman’s Betterment Asso- ciation was organized at Amity| Mill, District No. 5, Chambersbure township by electing Mrs. Avery Sieman, Miss Olean Templeton, vice president, Miss Mary Lentz, secretary, and Mrs. J. A. GB. Goodman treasurer. The first work towards the im- provement of Amity school was to get the yard in better condition, which was done by getting a wheelbarrow, rakes,- hoes, ete. These were brought and the yard was put in better condition by | ihe teacher and the pupils, es- pecially the larger pupils, work- ing at recess and at noon, requir- ing several days to complete the work. We found a_ heap. of ashes near one window which was removed. Weeds and_ broom- sedge had grown some two or three feet high on the north side of the building, they were cleared to beautify president, away, which did much the surroundings. The first money received for the *“School Betterment’’ was raised Dec. 29, by having a “box sup- per.” Ten dollars and twenty- five cents was raised. The next money raised was by having an ‘‘Entertainment.’’ We had to go to some extra expense; lights, books, etc., were to be had. rostrum stage was to be made which required lumber, nails, tools, etc. The large boys got a team and hauled lum- ber from Mr. M. A. Christie’s saw mill. Mr Christie gave the lum- ber to the school which was near three hundred fect. The teacher and large boys worked before schoo] in the mornings, and after school in the evenings in getting the stage made. The stage was made and nicely decorated for the entertainment which took place Friday night, February 5, proved a suecess. After paying the ex- penses sixteen dollars was cleared for the school fund. The next money raised was by having a ‘Hand auction’’ (gotten up by the teacher). Seven dollars and eighty-five cents was received tor school purposes March the 12. All of the money raised during the term was $34.40 net. The ros- trum or stage is still in the school room, it is of great convenience to the teacher as it is much higher and larger than the old one and has two pairs of steps. A movement is now on foot fer a better house, which will proba bly be built next year. This statement was taken from a report] in to the county superintendent by V.R.

WHITE, - - - Kditor. —— it anything should be on the free list it should be lumber. If cheap timber will prevent the de- struction of forests then wive us free Jumber. The great argument for the Appalachian Forest Re- serve was that it would prevent the ruthless destruction of our timber in the South and thereby cause vreater activity in the lum- ber business, the day when we shall have no forest timber will not be far distant. Give us free lumber and our forests rather than a tariff on lumber and the destrve tion oft our-forests. This is not a lumber section anyway. We just supply our own demand and that is all. With a high tariff, de- vastated forests and great freshets we will be in worse condition than Wwe are now, and it is bad enough now.

In reply to an inquiry as to whether he had anything to say about Mr.Bryan’s attack on the 174 Democratic senators who voted against free lumber, Senator Sim- mons said no, that Mr. Bryan’s opinion as to his action was of no special concern to him, that he had acted upon his own judgement in this matter and upon what he regzarded as the interest and wish of his constituents, and he was re- sponsible to them alone. ‘‘But,’’ he added, ‘I have something to say about Mr. Bryan’s repudiation of our national platform in 15892.

Trial | ee Why He Lost His Friends He was always wounding their feelings, making sarcastic or funny remarks at their expense. ; He was cold and reserved in his manner, cranky, gloomy, pessi- mistic. He was suspicious of everybody. } He never threw the doors of his heart open to people, or tok them into his confidence. He was always ready to receive assistance from them, but always too busy or to stingy to assist them in their time of need. He regarded friendhip as a lux- ury to be enjoyed, instead of an opportunity for service.—Selected Rich Men’s Gifts Are Poor | beside this: ‘‘I want to go on re- cord as saying that I regard Elee- trie Bitters as one of the greatest gifts that God has made to woman. writes Mrs. O.

No, there’s a genuineness to confidence. You saw it in the great eager eyes of Bruno this morning, as you took from the reserted breakfast table a bit of meat, and, holding it hieh above his nose, made him jump for it. “He had confidence in his own ability to make the leap, and confidence that he would get the tidbit, as the reward of his effort. Confidence in one’s self, confidence in others, confidence that inspires to effort, is what the world wants. If Bruno hal allowed his appe- tite to get the better of hi judg- ment and had lifted his great paws on to the table linen, and snateh- ed that bit of meat from the plate he would simply have shown ““cheek,’’ not confidence, and he would have been shoved out the side door, instead of being allow- ed to take his morning nap in front of the fire place.—Howard W.

It eenerally has an effect, but, as in the following ease, it may be quite opposite to the one intended. The Vicar of Heaton, in Ene- land, had a parishoner who was a imiser. For this man’s benefit he preached one Sunday what he be- lieved to be a strong sermon on the necessity of charity and phil- anthropy. He presented the duty and joy of giving in vivid colors, and though the miser, at whom he looked often, seemed impressed. } The next day he met the man in the street. “Well, John,’’ said the vicar. “what did you think of yester- day’s sermon?”’ “It moved me deeply sir,’’ John replied “‘It has brought home to me so strongly the necessity of}: fiving alms, that honestly, sir, I am a great mind to turn a bee- pay yo 27 gar. ———_ ++ —____. \ Of Interest to Farmers and Me-|& chanics.

It is very important, therefore, for ihe South to know the truth about the effect of the negroe,s respence and industry upon the white wan’s prosperity. That the negro, a8 he has lived hereto- fore, has been a tremendous in- dustrial handicap to the South no rigntly-intormed man, we be. lieve, will deny. Ignorant labor isa cause to- any community, and the negroe’s low standard of living has lowered the income of the wnite laborer who has had to complete with him, and the} reduced income of both has in ‘ouriously affected every profes- sional and business in the South. To increase the intelligence, the earnieg power, of any man, will help the community, and to train the negro to greator skill and efficiency will help the South A trained, efficient negro will not, of course help the communi ty so much as a trained, efficient white man of even the same de- gree of Intelligence, hecause we a dual civilization in the South, and the negro’s income goes largely to support and benefit the negro,s half of that dual civ- llization—and iucreasingly so, perhaps. As negro wealth in creases, negroes will begin to patronize ,there own stores, banks, factories, ect., as well as their own echools and churches Still the negroe who is trainen to do good work is going to help the community far more than the negro williple or who is too ignorant to earn more than half what he should.

A veterinary surgeon told the following Story concerning the in- telligence and gratitude of an ele- phant: Some years ago, he said, I was Summoned by the proprietor of a famous show to come to his stables to attend a female elephant. The : §reat creature had stepped on a nail or piece of metal, which had penetrated her foot. She was in great agony,~ and long before I could her her trumpeting with pain. On entering I found her stand- ing on three legs, swinging the sore foot slowly backward and for- ward. I felt rather nervous as I approached the beast, but the keeper told me to have no fear. The elephant, ‘he explained, was a very intelligent creature. As I bent down to examine the wounded foot I felt a light touch on my hair. Turning, I saw the great trunk behind me, and it sug‘ gested dangerous consequences. “I shall have to cut deep,’ I said to the keeper, who thereupon spoke to the elephant in some ton- gue unknown to me. Then he shouted : ‘‘Cut away!” I made one gash with the knife, and felt fie trunk tighten on my hair in a way that made my blood run cold. However, I screwed up my courage and again applied the knife. Ina short time I had lanced the abscess, sprayed the fot and bound it up. Evidently the elephant felt immediate relief for she relaxed her grasp on my hair and drew a long breath. Several months later I happened to be in the neighborhood of the show, and sought out the keeper to inquire after my former patient. She was well and hearty, he told me, and invited me to come and see her. z On approaching the elephant she looked at me at first with in- difference, then steadily and with interest. Then she stretched out her trunk and laid it caressingly on my head. Finally—wonderful to relate—she lifted her foot, now thoroughly healed, and showed it to me. She had not forgotten.— Minneapolis Tribune. ed Stung for 15 Years by Indigestion’s pangs—trying many doctors and $200.00 worth of medicine in vain, B. F. Ayscue, of Ingleside, N.

M. Moore, a Young Farmer, Living South of the Gity, TherebY Clearing up a Seven Year Mystery—Remains Discovered in Deep Sewer Ditch | on East Boulevard, Dilworth Indications Point Strongly To-! ward Foul Play. —— Charlotte, N. C., June 11—A mysters for seven years was today com- pl by the discovery of a skeleton, and clothing by workmen digging a ditch for a sewer on East Boulev- ard in Dilworth. The dissappear. of Mr. E. M. Moore, a far. ance mer, on circus day In 1902, and the finding of his hat, and his horse aud buegy near the tent the followine day, deve¥oped one of ihese strange cases of dissappear- ance that until today had never had the least light turned on it. The belief is almest positive that the skeleton and clothing are those of Moore. Fle was drinking ou the day of his dissappearance, aud at that time the same ditch in which the skeleton was found today, was being opened by work- men, and one theory advanced was that he had been killed and cover- ed by loose dirt, in the ditch, sa that the workmen next day con- tinued filling the ditch never sus- pectug that a man’s body had been hidden there. The discovery was made by a workman digging out the old ditch for sewer pur- poses. On the night of Moore’s dissappearance it was dark and stormy, and Fe was presumably | killed and covered in the ditch, the rain aiding in hiding all traces The solving of this mystery on- ly aids to make the police con- fident that he was murdered. Many arrests on suspicion follow- ed shortly after Moore’s ,disap- pearance. but none were of can- seqtience. It was a gruesome find.

June 11.—Gen- eral Superintendent Hix will sue-. ceed Mr. Garrett as president of the Seaboard Air Line. The report that General Super- intendent C H. Hix, of the Sea- board Air Line, was to succeed Mr. W. A.. Garrett as president of that read, was current in Ra- leigh yesterday, and it was said tha tthe change would take place at a very early date, as Mr. Gar- rett proposed to leave on the first’ of July for a tour of Europe. Reports are current here, com- ing from alleged authoritive sources in Washington, D. C., that Vice President and Traffic Mana- ger L. Sevier, of the Seaboard Air Line Railway has resigned, and and that he will be succeeded by, General Freight Agent Charles Capps. ; From the same source it is un- derstood that the Seaboard will have as its new policy the promo- tion of men who have stuck by the road in prosperity and in hard times, and it is known that Mr. Capps has refused several bet- better positions to stay with the Seabaard. No reaon has been given for the resignation of Vice President Sevier. Mr. Hix is well known in this eity and throughout the State. His career in the service of the Seaboard is the story of a man of ability. He is about 45 years of age. He began his connection with the railroad as station telegraph man. From this he became train dispatcher and then trainmaster This-led to his promotion to the position of division superintendent and the latter to that of general superintendent. It is now re- earded as a practical certainty that he will be the next president of the road. 7 ——_++oar-e——-— News From Woodleaf. Great damage has been done to this section of Rowan county by the heavy rains that have fallen. The heaviest rain of the season fell last Thursday evening about sundown. The heavy rain, accom- panied by an electric storm a1 a heavy wind, lasted about two hours. The water courses were the highest they have been for some time. Some of the farmers planted their bottom land in corn and now they can swim a horse there. Wheat is very good and is being cut. On account of the high price of flour farmers are getting anxious to get their wheat ready for the mill. There is-saree- ly any old wheat on hand.

High Officials of the war de- partment are asking congress to give money for a fleet of airships to protect the Atlantic coast from Maine to Florida. The war de- partment complains that the Unit- ed States is not keeping up with other powers in the matter of air- ships. Stations are wanted at in- tervals of 250 miles along the eoast. -- 4+ —___ The talk of war between Great Britain and Germany is regarded in this country as ‘‘a case of nerves;’’ but Lord Roseberry takes it seriously. He is a well- informed statesman, who has been premier and Jeader of the Liberal party. In an address a few days ago Lord Roseberry pointed out that while all the talk is of peace, all the action is for war. He said he ‘‘regarded the outlok as ominous, almost appalling.’’ He had ‘‘nev- er seen the condition of things in Europe so remarkable and so me- nacing as at this moment.’’ He urged Canada and the other Briti- ish possessions to be prepared to help defend the mother country. 2 ~~ - -— We notice from our exchanges that a great majority of the coun- ties of the State have levied a special train school tax in excess of the regular levy as heretofore made, which is 18 cents on the $100. This is a good sign for the old North State. When the peo- ple wake up to a great and vital question—as the school question is—they are sure to act. Many years ago our fathers inserted ir the constitution of our state the tax for school purposes should not be less than 18 cents on the $100 valuation. This amount was deemed sufficient at the time and that amount has been levied even since it was inserted in the consti- tution. But there is another man- date in the constitution that has not been kept, This is that a four months’term shall be provided for every district in the state. Ou eourts are now enforcing both of these constitutional requirement and if 18 cents on the $100 valua- tion does not give a four months’ term then the levy must be sux that every school may run four months. If a single county has refused to make the necessary in- erease this year we have not heard of it. This means much for our atate. While other states were supporting school from 4 to 10 months every year we were strug- gling to get even a four months’ term. We have now secured that. Let us take off our hats to the Old her to the front. Let every per- son in Iredell county—our county —who believes in education, speak a good word for our schools, and do something for them too. As our people are educated they will become more progressive. They will believe in going forward. They will want more of that power that ereates wealth, makes more sub- stantial citizens and attracts other people to us. tn Re See Of Interest to Farmers and Me- VALUE OF OWLS AND HAWKS Bounty Offered by State of Penn- sylvania Cost Farmers Nearly $4,000,000. Does it pay the farmers to pro- tect hawks and owls? Any farm- er who has studied the habits of these birds will admit that it does, according to J. W. Franzen of the Minneapolis public hbrary muse- Of all the hawks and owls of east ern North America only the coop- ers and sharp-shinned hawk and the great horned owl can be said to be more harmful than useful. Hawks and owls are the natural enemies of gophers, field mice and other harmful rodents, which, if left unchecked, would increase in such numbers as to make farming unprofitable if not impossible. These birds are also great destroy- ers of grasshoppers, locusts and other insects. What are farmers doing to protect these birds? As a general rule they are shot on sight. Truly a signal reward for their services. —~ In 1885 an act was passed in the state of Pennsylvania known as the scalp act, a bounty of fifty cents was offered for each Lawk and owl killed within the state. The state paid out bounty on over 100,000 birds. The farmers were satisfied that the chicken killers were destroyed. About two years later the gophers, field mice and noxious insects appeared in such numbers that the farmers were powerless to deal with them. The result of this foolish act was that the farmers suffered a loss of near- ly $4,000,000 in a year and a halt Dr. Fisher of Washington has found that 90 per cent. of the food of the red-shouldered hawk, com- monly called chicken-hawk or hen- hawk, consists of injurious mam- mals and insects; while 200 cast- ings of the barn owl contained the skulls of 454 small mammals, no less than 225 of these being skulls of destructive field or meadow mice, No hawk or owl should be kill- ed without being first given a fair trial. It may only be a certain ailty and shot individual that is killing chickens. It will generally be all that is needed. One should not condemn the whole fribe for the wrong doing of afew. <A pair of barn owls on a farm are equal to half a dozen eats. Encourage the pres ence of these useful birds on your farm and you will be well repaid. ++ ) Aijone in Saw Mill at Midnight ed as Night Watchman, at Banner Springs, Tenn.

Presently he whispered to the man at his side, evidently one of the old members: “How long has he been preach- ing?’’ ‘Thirty or forty years, I think,”’’ answered the elderly man; ‘‘I don’t know exactly.” “‘T’ll stay then,‘‘ said the strang chanics. _ Farmers and mechanics fre- quently meet with slight accidents and injurfes which cause them much annoyance and loss of time.!

In captivity elephants stand up when they sleep ; but in the jungle, in their own land, they lie down.

While stopping at a little Hoos- ier hotel in the course of a hunt- ing trip, Mr. Tarkington lost one of his dogs. ‘“‘Have” you a newspaper in town?’’ asked of the landlord. ‘‘Right across the way; there, -back of the shoemaker’s,’’ the landlord told him. “The Daily News—hest little paper of its size in the state.’ The editor, the printer and the printer’s devil were all busy doing justice to Mr. Tarkington with an ‘‘in our midst’? paragraph when the novelist arrived. “*T’ve just lost a dog,’’ Tarking- ton explained, after he had intro, duced himself, ‘‘and I’d like to have you insert this ad for me: ‘Fifty dollars reward for the re- turn of a pointer dog, answering to the name of Rex. Disappeared from the yard of the Mansion v- | House Monday night.’ ”’ ‘“‘Why, we were just going to press sir,’’ the editor said; ‘‘but we'll be only too glad to hold the edition Tor your ad.”’’ Mr. Tarkington returned to the hotel. After a few minutes he de- cided, however, that it might be well to add. ‘‘No questions asked’”’ to his advertisement, and returned to the Daily News office. The place was deserted, save for th: who sat perched on a high stool gazing wistfully out of the win- dow. “Where is everybody ?’’ ington inquired of the boy. ‘‘Gawn to hunt th’ dawg,” re plied the boy, without removin« his gaze from the distant fields. — Everybody’s. —=_ > _ “Come right in, Sambo,’ ”? the farmer called out. -‘‘He won’t hurt you. aoe know a barking dog never bites.’ “Sure, boss, ah knows dat,’ replied the cautious man; ‘‘but ah don’t know how soon he’s going } to stop barkin’.’’—Ex Tark- skinny Tittle freckle-faced devil, «' BRIEF LOCAL ITEMS.

Headlight on Automobile Stops Train and CauSed Engineer to Jump From His Engine. Saturday night while Mr. James W. Cannon and a party of friends were returning from Charlotte to their home in Concord in an auto- mobile, they reached a point just beyond Harrisburg where the dirt road runs parallel with that of the Southern Railway. They were spinning along at a pretty lively gait when in the distance they saw approaching railroad engine. The automobile party noticed that the freight came to a standstill and the engineer and fireman jump from the engine and run toward the roadside. The engineer had received orders to pass No. 30 northbound passenger train at Newells and when he saw the headlights of the automobile ‘he was certain that they were on the front of No. 30 and that a wreck was inevitable. When the frightened trainmen saw how ridiculous was their position, they turned with a dry grin to resume their positions in the cab and moved off at a lively speed to make their point before No. 30 did reach them.—Conecord Tribune. ++ > Teachers’ Examinations.

O’ State aa No. 124 Senate Shows The Situation Z ASPLIT IN BOTH PARTIES. Republican Insurgents and Demo- cratic Protectionists—Western- ers in Open Revolt Against Old Party Leadership — Democrats Ignore Denver Platform. Washington, June 14.—Reports and speculations regarding a rea- lignment of political forees and the formation of new parties fill the air. Predictions were made Monday that there will be a split in the Republican party as a_ result of recent events in the senate. Tues- day comes the prophecy that there will be a Democratic protectionist party and a Demoeraitie free trade party. On Wednesday we get the report that William J. Bryan and Senator La Follette may pool their issues in the campaign of 1912. On Thursday comes the insinua- tion, like that voiced by Seeretary of the Treasury MacVeagh, that the leadership of the Republican party may be changed, and the men in control relegated to the back-ground. So it goes; and no man éan tell the result. The break-up of existing parties has been predicted for many years. The fairest opportunity came in 1896, but the result was that, in- stead of the free-silver Republi- cans and the Populists or the gold Democrats becoming strong enough to control the balance of power, the first two were swallow- ed up in the Democratic party, while the gold Democrats were as- similated by the Republicans. It is a matter of constant re- mark here that the situation in the Republican and Democratie par- ties is similar to that which pre- vailed prior to the campaign of 1896. Here is the line of cleavage elearty marked in the United States senate. Following up their insistence on lower duties under the leadership of Senators Cum- mins, La Follette, Dolliver and others, a group of Republican senators is now openly banded to- gether with. the Democratie strength in the senate, as were the free-silver Republicans throughout Mr Cleveland’s second term, to pass an income-tax law. Aldrich and the old-line Republicans are fighting it with all their strength. Yet the coalition claims Republi- can senators from Kansas, Nebras- ka, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Towa, and its advocates declare that the income-tax bill will be passed by the votes of 32 Democrats ani 47 Republicans. A similar condition is shown m the split in the Democratic party over protection. The Denver plat- form advocated the placing of trust-made products on the free list. Democrats have not support- ed such a proposition. It advo- cated free lumber, but 18 Demo- erats voted for a duty on lumber. It favored duties lowered to a revenue basis. Democrats almost without division have voted for protection on the products of th: states. Either the Democratic party as it was represented at Denver is out of touch with its senators or else the senators are above their party, and like the Republican ‘‘ progressives are able to make their own platforms, ~~ e—___.

He has just served about five years of a te-year term for housebreaking in Guilford county and last night at 7:20 o’clock Judge Council added twenty-five years more for the murder of John Mitchell, eol- ored. With this pleasant pros- pect facing him, the negro will go back to the prison from whence he came to be tried. The court stated that if later it saw reason to lessen the sentence, this could be effected without ‘difficulty. Steele’s trial was begun yester- day morning when court conven- ed. A jury was secured from the venire of 25 without much diff- culty and the state began the in- troduction of Tts evidence. Solici- tor Clarkson prosecuted, while the fight for the defense was con- ducted by Messrs. J. W. Barry, J. i. Newell and D. B. Paul. The first witness placed on the stand was Eli Kirk, colored, who together with the other two men, was an employe of the Ramsey brickyards, four miles south of the city on that 6th day of June, 1904. He stated that he was a close eye- witness of the killing, being but fifteen feet away from the two principals in the somewhat dra- matic seene. He saw Steele walk ip directly in front of Mitchell, draw his pistol, level it at him and fire. The injured man died in about five minutes. Mitchell was stooping to set down his wheel- when the the other dis- charged the weapon. ki Kirk’s wife was an import- and bearer of witness. Steele was a boarder in her home, which was hot far distant from the place where the homicide oceurred. He tushed into the house, seized his pistol and as hurriedly rushed off. A few minutes later he returned. This time it was his valise he seized and, quickly tossing some clothing in “it, he departed straight-way elsewhere bound.

Michell drew a stick of wood on him and threatened to kill him if he did not cease to deport him- self after the fashion charged. After the first> quarrel on the brickyard he waxed afraid of Mitchell and seeured his pistol as * means of protection. \iitchel loosed his hold on the Wheelbarrow and after the Bibli- cal fashion, had armed himself With a brickbat. Just as he was ‘ising to his feet thus equipped, fame the bullet his way. The twelve men received the fase at 3 o’clock and did not agree until after 7 o’clock. Judge Council imposed sen- rsame length of time. BRIEF LOCAL ITEMS. Marriage license was issued to- day for the mariage of Lonnie Gullick and Allie Allison, colored. The condition of Mrs. M. O.

In this week’s Bibfical Recorder is an article on the ‘‘ Jubilee Com- mencement,’’ written by Rev.Chas. S. Leonard, of Statesville, who was a student at the seminary last year. It is an able article and well written. Mr. Leonard is a talented young man and_his Statesville friends are pleased to know of his success. The ~ Biblical Recorder says “The Statesville church is fortun- ate indeed in securing the services of Pastor C. E. Maddry, of Greens- boro. Statesville is one of the best churches and one of the most desirdble fields of usefulness in the state. Brother Maddry did a great work at Forest Avenue church and leaves a most attrac- tive- field.

HELD IN LIVING GRAVE. Prospector For Mica Died After Help Had Arrived. Asheville, N. C, June 14— Burned in an abandoned mica mine in the great mountain for- ests of Mitchell county, far remov- ed from any habitation, John En- glish, a young prospector, pinned by a mass of earth and mica which covered him, as he stood upright from his feet to his chin so that only part of his face protruded, endnred the agonies of hunger an thirst from Monday morning un- til Wednesday night. The only sounds in the desola- tion were the groans of his com- panion; Henry Woody, who finally died in agony, and the yelping of English’s little dog, who at last brought rescue, which however, vame too late, as Woody was dead and English died a few hours af terwards. The young men went to search af mica deposits, which are com- mon in Mitchell county, and left word that they would not return before Thursday night. Before he died English told of the accident. He said he and Woody decided to prospect an old mine, and went dawn about 30 feet to the bottom to enter into the shaft levels. As they. reached the bottom, the trains, caved in and buried them, Woody being completely covered. while English had both arms pin- ned to his sides by the debris, which reached to his mouth, his head being tilted far back in a strained position which h® could not change. Wednesday morning, the rela- tives of the young man, alarmed by their absence, organized a searching party, part of which, heard the incessant yelping of the little dog and went to where it kept its vigil at the pit’s mouth and saw at the bottom English’s J upturned face. ae jreeeeee E€ESEEC EEC Sa f Birthday Celebration. On Sunday June 13th two hun- 4+dred and two persons gathered at w| the home of Rev. E. N. Gwyn to celebrate his 73d birthday. It had been secretly planned as a surprise to him and immediately after Sun- day school adjourned the people began to arrive in buggies, car- riages, wagons, on‘horse back and afoot, till by noon it looked much like the Zion protracted meeting. At noon a dinner, much more than enough to accommodate the large crowd, was spread on two long tables in the lawn and after an ap- propriate speech and thanks by Mr. J. L. Thomasson, all were bountifully fed from the many good things. After dinner the people were engaged in singing and conversa- tion for a good while, when they departed for their homes, some in Yadkin, some in Iredell and some in Wilkes. Before leaving those present made up a good contribu- tion which was presented to the “little preachér’’ by Mr. J. P. Howard. The occasion was highly enjoy- ed by all, but by no one any more than the delighted host, who in his accomplished social manner made each individual feel more than welcome. Just as the crowd was ready to depart he thanked them for their Kindness and then in his eloquent way, in a brief and touching benediction he filled each heart and mind with noble thoughts. j Rev. E. N. Gwyn was born June 11, 1831 at Jonesville, Surry county. He is a son of Richard Gwyn who represented Surry county in the legislature when that county was divided. Mr. Gwyn had a brother, Richard Gwyn, Jr., who once represented Surry in the legislature, also a ucplew, R. G@. Frankim of Elkin, ex-state Senator Mr. Hugh Chatham of Elkin is another nephew. He has one livin brother, Thomas Gwyn of Elk Creek, Va., who is a pros- perous farmer and business man. He .-has one living sister, Mrs Sarah Lenair of Caldwell county. Of the children four sons and one daughter are living. They are, Messrs. J. R. C. Gwyn, of Ore- gon, N. H. Gwyn, of Washington, Charlie G.-Gwyn of Rockford, N. C., Daniel E. Gwyn of Idaho, and Mrs. Mamie Spicer of Wyoming. Mr. Givyn has been preaching the gospel as a Baptist minister for thirty years and his excellent service and amiable and genial disposition | have made him hosts of friends who wish him many more years of peaceful and happy life.

The state department of agricul- ture is planning to send out sev- eral parties to engage in institute work this summer. It is their de- sire to cover the entire state. The several articles that hase been published in some of our state papers within the past few weeks ealling atention to the great drain made upon our state for home supplies brought into Nort! Cerolina from other-states should cause our farmers to stop and con- sider if there is not a Dettor amie of farming than the one which we are now following. Several hun- dred thousand dollars worth of corn, hay, meat flour, wheat and other farm products brought an- nually into some of our counties and most of it sold to farmers is the strongest argument that can be made in favor of a change cof farming methods. The institutes are intended to correct this prac- tice as much as possible. Speak- ers will “discuss diversification of crops, special crops, rotation of crop, soil improvement, fertiliz- ers, stock raising, dairying and other questions of vital interest to the farmers of the state. In Iredell county institutes will be held at the Test Farm, Mooresville, Eupeptie Springs and Harmony. In many sections there will be also a womens institute, due, an nouncement of which will be made later. We want the farm- ers’ wives to attend these insti- tutes and get the most out of them that they can. —— News From New Hope Gountry. Rev. T. E.

Last week the query, ‘Resolved, That wealth has more power than knowledge,’ was discussed fo a finality, wealth being the victor. The Mascot de- plores the fact that the old time country debating society is dying out. Many statesmen and orators got their start at the country school debating society. Mr. T. Grier Miller was on the street today in his new machine, a Maxwell, which he has just pur- chased through Mr. J. H. Ham of the Southern Auto Co., of Char- lotte. Mr. J. H. Ham and R. B.

The first Toad of watermelons of the city were received today by the J. K. Morrison Produce and Provision Co. They are retailing at 20 and 25e each. ing quarters as the hotels were crowded to their utmost eapacity and but for the good fortune of the writer having met with one of North Carolina’s most noble sons, €ol, Hinsdale of Raleigh, a promi- nent lawyer who most promptly tendered half of his room and bed, I would have had to make a ean- vass of the city to get quarters. The next day the program was rather uninteresting to the visi- tors as a routine of business was in order and only those on the several committees were directly interested. The second day was one long to be remembered as this was the floral parade which was one and a half miles long. Thé beauty of the South occupied these flower-decorated chariots and pony earts and I think if this en- tire’“world was hunted over no other women could compare. Each occupant tried to outstrip the other not only in their mod- est way of displaying their beauty but in the decorations of their ve- hicles. Well, next day was parade day and under a scorching sun these noble Old Veterafis marched in! line, their ranks showing a large | decrease since our last reunion, to| the tune of Dixie and the drum, for about one and a half miles in all, including the counter marth. It was estimated ‘that there were 200,600 visitors and these added to the population of the city made an immense throng of people. The buildings including the sky scrap- ers were packed _ from bottom to top and also ‘the grand stand was filled. Handkerchiefs were waving and outbursts of ap- plause were continuous all along the line. The principal feature of the parade was the handshake be- tween Generals Evans and Grant. the Gray and “the Blue, the Lion and the Lamb. Now after the above deserip- tion it is a pity that I have to darken the picture s to our treatment. We are as a matter of course the drawing ecard for those who are ready to graft and get money in any way. The poor old soldier is forgotten as soon as the crowd has arrived and some of the committees are composed of men who forget their duties to their advertising card and apply them- selves and time more to other things than faithfully carrying out their promise to look first after the quarters and comforts of these old veterans. We were sadly neglected in this viz: North and South Carolina were crowded into an old building. Now room rent went from $1.50 to $4.50 on tlie Third story in the Gaoso hotel Horses were furnished at $5.00 for the few moments of the parade.

The groom with his best man, Mr. H. L. McCall, of Statesville, was fol- lowed by the maid of fionor, Miss Agnes Moring. The ring bearer came next, little -Adelaide Arm- field, bearing the ring on a white satin pillow. The bride entered on the arm of her father who gave her away. She wore an exquisite princess gown of white satin, en- train, with rich Iace, and carried brides roses and lilies of the val- ley, her tulle veil being fastened with orange blossoms. A brilliant reception followed, andi n the bride’s book about two huxdred guests were revistered. Brick cream with mints and cake was served. The unusaully large number of bridal presents ex- presses the popularity and esteem of the couple. They left after the recepWon for~ an extende trip north. Mrs. Craven is a daughter of (Mr, and Mrs. W. H. Moring, and ris unusually attractive. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. K. S. Craven, of Concord. He is well known in 1 his home town, and is principal of f Statesville Graded School. Mr. and Mrs. Craven have the good wishes of hosts of friends in Statesville, who join Asheboro and Concord in wishing them ail happiness. <a e Leave for Seattle, Wash. Mr. and Mrs. James W.

To the ordinary person it seems af miracle that a thin solid plane can ‘be driven into the air by ma- chinery; but for over ten years} that ee has been accomplish- ed. On the other hand, the great problem—the problem of equilib- rium—never occurs to anyone-who has not actually tried flying.

But not even the oldest member thought that the exchange would move along ra- dical lines. “Of course,” said John H. Davis, head of the firm of John H.

Charles Meek, son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. A. Brady, was born October 11, 1907 and departed this life May 29, 1909. He was therefore, 1 year, 7 months and 18 days old. Meek was a favorite child with the entire family. The family honored father and me with the names Charles Meek. Hence to me he was an interesting little fel- low. 1 jioved him and he loved me. I was with him much in his life. Isaw him pass away, but ‘1 have him yet and ever in my heart.”” We all loved him and did ail we could for him, but God loved him most and took him. W« expect to meet him again “in that land of pure delight,’’ when “‘we shali know even as we are known.’’? His ‘‘sun went down while itf'was yet day.’ ‘“‘Itis well with the child.” May our Meeks e. lshrd lo outau outauaoca God comfort and sustain little Meek’s parents and all his broth- ers and sisters and grant them the abiding presence of our Lord Jesus Christ. With David may they say ‘‘Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shali not return to me.’’ As pas- tor and friend we commend the family to God and to the word of His grace. J.

But Prosecuting Witness Says he Didn’t Know What He Was Talking About. A woman who lives in the vicin- ity of Statesville had her husband hailed to court Saturday for mis- treating her and for non-support of his family. When the case came up for trial the defendant Was represented by a prominent attorney, who of course, did what he could to have his client dis charged. During his speech he extoled the virtues of his client, told what a good citizen he had been, and was surprised that any charges had.ever been preferred against such a good man. This outburst of oratory in praise of her worthless husband non-plussed the abused wife and in a confidential talk to the spec- tators after the trial she said ‘‘That man who proved him a good character didn’t know a thing about it. He never heard of him until today and hain’t talked to him but a few minutes. Why, I’ve lived with him 15 years and can bring every neighbor he’s got up here and prove he’s no count.”’ ‘“What witness do you mean?’, said one of the listeners. “Why,’’ said she, ‘‘that lawyer that got up here and proved him a good character. He don’t know a thing in the world about the man.”’ ae Burgess White in Custody. Burgess White, colored, was ar- rested at his home in Statesville yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Ward and placed in jail in default of a $500 bond. White was summon- ed last winter as a witness against ‘‘Boss’’? Somers for retailing. The case against Somers was to have been tried at the last term of Ire- dell superior court but Burgess White, who was the chief witness against him, left the county and the case was continued to the August term of court. Burgess ‘left the state, so he says, and was employed by a distilling company in Florida The officers learned that he was in Statesville and yes- terday he was found secreted in his own house. In orer to insure his presence at the August term of eourt he is required to give a $500 bond which he has been unable to do and was therefore committe: to jail. —_—- —~++@- > —-- In the Courts.

He was found guilty and fined a penny and the costs and given un- til August Ist to pay it.

Williamsport, Pa., June 20.— Albert S. Munro, nephew of Geo. Vernes, chief of the Pennsylvania railway detective bureau, returned With his bride from a week’s. hon- eymvoon in Philadelphia on Tues- day evening. Saturday afternoon both bride and bridegroom were found dead upon the bedroom tHoor of the Vernes home. There were no wounds upon their bodies, no weapons nearby, the gas in the burning to prove that asphyxination did not cause the tragedy and doctors have already declared that neither the young wife no? her husband died of heart disease. But a bex of chocolates found in an adjoining room with its con- tents half eaten. is the clew to the mystery that the police are fol- lowing and they declare tonight that the autopsy will show that some enemy of the bride or bride- erdom sent them the confections into which deadly poison had been injected to slay both from some metive of jealousy or revenge. Munro, an employe of the Penn- sylvania company here, under his uncle, the chief detective, married Miss May Daltoy, one of the pret- tiest girls in Williamsport, a week ago. Both of them were very popular, and the marriage cere- mony brought many guests and a multitude of good wishes as the couple started out on their week’s room Was some \trip to Philadelphia and the na- tional eapitel. They returned happy and in best of health and took quarters” in the home of the chief execu- tive. In order that they might have a few days more for the en- joyment of their honeymoon alone, Vernes and his wife. went on a fishing trip to some nearby lakes and left the bridal couple in the house alone. The couple_were last seen by neighbors sitting upon-the porch together at 8:30 o’clock. Half an hour later the same neighbors sav lights in their room, and the sil houttes thrown upon the curtain indicated that they were prepar- ing to retire. But half an hour after that a neighbor sought futilely to arouse them in order to use their tele phone, and- went away deciding that they were both asleep, al- though the light still showed through their window. It is now believed the poison acted so quick- ly that buth were dead or unoon- scious at that time. The first investigation made by the authorities left the case a com- plete mystery, and it was only af- ter a search of an hour that’the box of chocolates were found. Most of them had been eaten—one was nibbled half through, and con” fectioners who know how quickly bitten candy grows ‘“‘stale,’’ de- clare that it niust have been tast- ed about 9:30 or 10 o’clock, the same hour that the coroner figures as the death of the bride and bride groom.

God Couldn’t Join. {n slave time, a devoted old colored man professed religion and had a great desire to join his moster’s church. It was his highest ambition and all he talked about. They didn’t want him to join it. It was one of these rich, fine, and high-toned churches. They didnt much want poor white people to join, much less a poor old colored person. So they kept putting the old colored man off from time to time. Sunday came again. They s they could not put him off any longer, and that he was deter mined to present himself that day. The pastor watched for him and told him not to join that day, but to go home and for another week pray over it, and then he could join next Sunday. The old man said he would, and turned and went home. Next Sunday came but the old eglored man, to the delight of the pastor and officials, did not show up. Ina ftew days the pastor saw him and said, ‘‘I see you did not eome last Sunday.”’ “‘No Boss,’’ said the old man “J can’t jine that church.”’ “Did you pray over and talk to the Lord about it?”’ inquired the pastor. “‘T sho’ did Boss, an dwe talked the matter over in the fullness of the truth,’ said the old man. ‘‘What did the Lord say?’’ ask- ed the pastor. “The Lord told me not to jine your church; for He had been trying twenty years to get in that chureh and couln’t get in. Sof decided I didn’t want to belong to a church that didn’t have and wouln’t have my Blessed Lord in it.”’ ——__$<<2>o—_—_— Alote in Saw Mill at Midnight unmindful of dampness, drafts, storms or cold, W.

How easy the other work always looks! A man’s best income is not al- ways measurable by figures.

But the piano was old and distressingly out of tune, and the strings rattled loud and metallic liké the beating of a tin pan, and some notes were dumb. Every- body had banged on the old piano, and the children had hammered on it with their fists and with sticks. Now and then a guest sat down to it and touched it and turned away in disgust, or else laughed aloud and ‘exposed the jarring sounds in a spirit of fun. But one day there came a master —one who knew and loved pianos and music; and he, too, touched the keys and drew back at the weird sounds. Being at leisure, and having the necessary instru- ments, he set about tu restore it. He “turnéd, he tightened, he joosened he adjusted he glued bits of felt on the hammers; and when he had finished, he once more ran his hand up and down over the keyboards, and was satisfied. Then he began to play with masterly hand, and as the melody filled the house young and old gathered around; and they who had before abused ‘and ridiculed the ol piano now looked” at one another and said: ‘‘who would have thought it?’ And there are souls, sinful, embittered, unloved, abused, ha- ted, ridiculed, condemned, waiting only for the hand of the Master, the healing, helping touch, love, to redeeem them; and from them, too shall rise the song of the praise of the love of God, the sweetest music in earth or heaven, unto the ears of the Father. My broth- er, have you that touch of redeem- ing love? Do you help to save or to destroy ?—Selected. -_-——_*++@ro Read This.

J. M. Gibbs in Southern Ruralist. I wonder how of the readers of the Ruralist know that they can about double a crop of al- most anything on clay land by cov- ering all seeds planted on such lands with quick sand. this can only be done on a small scale. We know that one of the ‘‘drawbacks’’ to successful farm- ing and on stiff clay land is the difficulty in securing a good stand. This is entirely overcome by creek sand as a cov- many Of course gardening lands. The sand is soft and por- ous, and at the same time a good fertilizer. I have sand hauled at ‘‘odd hours’’ and *‘off days’’ and placed at a convenient place for garden and truck: patches. <All melon and vegetable seeds are covered With it, as also small patches of potatoes and corn. Another thing I do that pays handsomely is to subsoil every row I plant. Throw out the dow down to the center furrow with a turn plow, and then run in this center furrow as deeply as your horse power can pull a small, long ‘“‘bull tongue’’ scooter plow or regular subsoil plow. Bed back on this subsoil center and you have a deep loose bed for your seeds that will hold moisters and keep your plants growing when it is dry, and disastrous looking elsewhere. Put. your fertilizer in this fur- row after the turn plow, and mix it with the soil with the subsoil plow. Of course, the above does not apply to deep, loose or sandy soils. I am making a ‘‘specialty”’ of sweet potatoes, and wonder how many of. your readers know the real value of this crop. I feed them to horses, cows, hogs, chick- ens and ‘‘folks.’’ Horses will thrive better on them and work harder than on corn. I feed about twice the weight of potatoes as of eorn. Hogs fattened on two- thirds potatoes and one-third corn meal boiled together will make the best pork J have ever eaten. Milk < tatoes cannot be beat. Potatoes will also fatten chickens as quick ly as anything | have ever tried, except sunflower seed. I can grow four bushels of potatoes to one of corn on any of our upland bills. s 7D % . Potato Crop Damaged. Williamston, N. C., June 19 — The heavy rains of the past week have greatly damaged the Irish potato crops near Williamston and throughout the county.

When Edison declared this to be the conerete age he expressed his belief in the use of that material for many ‘purposes not then thought of. He hardly thought, though, that it would be put to the use which has been found by the Italian government—as material for boats. It is a fact, however, that boats can be made of con- erete and have been made of it. Italian naval officials have been experimenting on concrete boat building and fave succeeded in making a very serviceable boat. The boats that have been made so far are rather unwieldly and ake ased chiefly as barges for trans- portation of freight, but it is be- lieved that improvements will go on until neat vessels serviceable for all purposes can be made. The concrete is poured into a mold, it ‘is reinforced with steel, and in a few hours there is turned out a perfectly seaworthy ‘boat. Who knows but that in a few years the hulls of our big ocean going steam ships and of our war vessels also will be made of this material? —- — means i caneger nese on SAO: agen Be ay Fay edn ae en ea ee Pew sae % a a ‘State Efbrary ~ Oi.

Sanders, publie drunk- eness and swearing on streets fell into the hands of Constable ‘R. D. Byrum last night. Justice Roberts after finding the defend- ant rather too drunk to be of good behaviour in eourt, committed him to jail till this morning, when he imposed a_ fine of $3.00 and costs, amounting to $9.65. This man claimed to be a deputy sheriff of sought the indulgence of the court tor that reason. Judge replied: ‘“An officer who so far forgets the dignity of his office, and who, when sent from home to: perform official duties, gets publicly drunk and uses bad language upon the highways of Wake county, need not plead official courtesy to this court.”” Mr. Sanders paid his fine and left for his native county, sadden- ed by his ‘experience, but very much wiser. His experience in the common jail of Wake county will doubtless do him good. —___2~1epr--&-- —-- Brief Glimpse of the Devil. ‘‘T hear tell,’ said Brother Dickey, ‘‘dat de devil is gwine roun de country now, an’ de peo ple is paying money to see him.

It is a strange situation when the president, af ter making the demand for a re- duction from the Dingley sched- ules, will sit back and allow the senate committee increases to be voted, by as bloodless a combina- tion as ever pooled to steal a rail- road or loot a bank, without rais- ing a finger to sustain the men who are standing by his personal pledges made by him for the ad- ministration.’* me The people of Statesville do not as a rule use much “‘hot air’’ to boost our town but they all be lieve in Statesville. Statesville is one of the best located cities ir the state. What we need is just a littl more ‘‘pull together”’ spirit among us. We want to at- tract people from other sections to us, and to do this we should ad- vertise. Let the folks know what we’ve got. Most people who come here to live stay with us. Why not Statesville ask for a few of the many conventions that meet in gur state every year? When a person is prospecting for a loca tion he doesn’t go to the dead town but to the live one. He goes to the city whose people have con Ndence in the future of the town. Those who do something to build up their town and country are the ones who are doing something for themselves, ; ——-- ++ -— We-have often heard the ques- tion discussed ‘‘ which is the great- er incentive to noble action the fear of of punishment of the hope of reward.’? We do not think there is any doubt but that the hope of reward is the greater in- centive to noble action but the fear of punishment is an inecntive to action, however, as the rigid en forcement of our laws has proven more than once. Life and proper- ty are not valued so highly in a country where the laws are loosely inforced. Good laws in a poorly governed country are held at a greater discount than worse laws in a country where they are en- forced and justice, such as it is, is fed to all from the same spoon. If we were to travel in a foreign eountry we would not have such anxiety about the high standard of its laws as we would «bout the impartial dealing out of such laws as they have. There are some laws on our statute books that are not intended to apply to all alike. For instance, the law against 3 for him to keep the peace.

Barnett Klass, 28, a Thief Sitce 12 Years Old. New York, June 21.—In sen- tencicg Barnett Klass, 28 years old, of 3766 Park avenue to Sing Sing last week after the prisoner had pleaded guilty to grand larceny in the second de- gree, Judge Malone, who spoke from information furnished him by his investigating officers, | came to this country when he was 12 years old, and has been a thief ever since. Klass has been arraigned sev- eral times in the various courts of this city charged with crime but managed to get off because of his cleverness. On two occa- sions, when the police were press- ing him closely, he ealisted ia the United States army. The first time was on January 1, 1899, when he joined a regi- ment that. had been ordered to the Philiippines. He deserted in the Philippines in August of that year, soon after he got there; was captured and sentenced to serve five years in a military prison. By the exercises of some strong pull Klass managed to secure @ pardon from President Melvin- ley. He enlisted again on Ieb ruary 2rd of this year, and de- serted on March 4th. On Apri! 13th he appeared at Fort Schuyler with a forged or- der directing the quartermaster to deliver a certain trunk to Gov ernors Island. The order looked all right, and tne trunk which contained medala of various kinds, was turned over to Klass, who promptly began to pawn them on the Bowery. Caught with some cf the stol- en medals in his possession, and seeing that he had no defense he bargained for a plea of grand arceny in the second degree, which was accepted. Judge Malone sentenced him to serve not less than two years and four months, not more wn a five years in Sing Sing. ++ PRICES OF MEAT GOING UP. Butchers Blame Wholesalers, _& in Turn Accuse Farmer‘. Cleveland, June 20.—The re- tail price of meat continues to soar. Wholesale conversion to the cause of vegetarianism is threatened in Cleveland. With porterhouse steak at 25 cents per pound, sirloin steak at 23 cents, pork tenderloin at 22 eents and round steak at 18 cents, all record prices of the past five years have been broken. The butchers of the city say that for them high prices do not mean large profits. ‘‘We are making less money than we did when meats were lower.’ they say. ‘““The wholesaler gets most of the money that we take in over the counter.”’ And the wholesaler declares it’s the fault of the farmers. Heavy hogs sold at the Cleveland Stock yards yesterday at $8.10 per hundred. The same money a few years ago would have bought an equal amount of dessed pork. The farmers not the meat dealers are the men who are making the! money,” The direct cause of the advance of meat prices is, in fact, the present heavy cost of grain. Corn is selling at 78 cents per bushel, oats are 60 cents and wheat at $1.43. If the farmer has any explanation to offer it will be over consumption, under pro- duction.

We learn from the Asheville Citizen today that at the meeting of the county commissioners of let for a portable prison for the chain gang there. The house is to be built of steel 30 by 12 feet, and will accommodate 36 prison- ers. The construction company is the National Bridge Co., and it will cost about $500. It will be ready to set up July Ist. This idea was conceived by the board and Dr. D. E. Sevier sever- al years ago and is altogether umique. A patent has been ap- plied for, and the prison greatly improved the sanitary conditions of the cofinty camps. There are three tiers of berths, lavatory, and home comforts. It will be built of open heart steel with ventila- tors for each berth. All the housekeeping arrange ments will be done in camp-tents, ers can be safely locked up. The prison can be torn down and re- built in two hours. The idea for a portable house for prisoners on a chain gang is am excellent one, and it would add greatly to the equipment of Ire- dell county to some day have this arrangement. It is just that prisoners be held perfectly secure, but they might enjoy(?) living in a patented prison of this kind. een Myers Didn’t Sell Liquor. Albert Myers, who was before the courts Tuesday for operating a blind tiger, thinks he has the officers and courts stood now. He says he doesn’t sell liquor at all but sold cherries and cheese. For every quart of cherries he sold— for which he charged a dollar— he gave a quart of apple brandy. He says fis was a gift without money and without price. No doubt cherries will now be in great demand. We have heard of several who would love to have a few quarts. —__—++2>-——__— IN NEEDY CIRCUMSTANCES. —— Woman With Her Four Children Arrived in StateSville Seeking Employmént. oz Mrs. Mary Beach, whose par- ents livein Hickory, with her 4 small children arrived in States ville yesterday without any money and in needy circumstan ces.

Dr. Aked approved of the pur- pose of the book as intended to show those who have no faith left that although the foundations on which the religion of their fathers rested may be discredited there still is an advanced foundation on which their faith may firmly stand. Of the three young men accept ed by the New York Presbytery Dr. Aked said: “T ¢an congratulate the whole church of God upon the admissi to its ministry of young men who think, young men prepared to ad- yance in the fullness of Christian thought and evolution.”’ The minister protested against ordination asa word andas: thing.

At the Cowee tunnel, fifty miles above Asheville, on the Murphy braneh of the Southern, there is a Serious cave-in which, may be, it will take several months to repair. towns in Prominent railroad officials are on the scene, consulting, as to the Wisest plan for repairing the damage, This tunnel is 750 feet long and the damaged part is in the center of it, on top of a littie mountain, where a considerable dent in the mountain can be seen. As the debris is removed, other things fall in, so the cavity is constantly in- creasing and the best of engineer- ine skill will be required to repair the damage, regardless of the time it may take. Several trains have been tem- porarily discontinued on account of the damage, and there is much complaint amde on account of the inereased summer travel.

Perhaps some of your readers would have to hear from the sum- mer School at Chapel Hill. Quite a number of teachers are in attendance and several are com- ing in yet. The number of teach- ers attending the summer school this year is considerably in ad- vance’ over fhe attendance of last year nearly every county being represented. The percentage of rural teachers is far greater than ever before. Heretofore, scarcely any rural teachers have attended. A majority of the teachers here are expecting to take the exami- nation for the five year certificate Which will be held at the Univer- sity on the 7 and 8 of July. We have not ha@ so much rain down here this spring. Just a plenty to make the crops flourish. Crops look much better here than in Iredell. Iredell must keep up with the great educational awakening. She is one of the best counties.in the fers are made now at the scene at the cave in. ~~ A Gentleman. ~ Let no boy think the clothes he wears, the horse he rides, the stick he carries,the dog that trots after him, the house he lives in or the money he spends can make him a gentleman. Not one nor all of these can do it; and yet, every boy may be a gentleman. He may wear an old hat, cheap elothes, live in a poor house and spend but little money, but” by being true, manly and honorable, by keeping himseli neat and respectable, by being civil and eourteous, and above all, by fearing God and keeping His Commandments, he can be a eentleman. i PO —— When one stands at a point at Which he may refuse or choose to ceive another help or kindness he is in reahty also where he may choose for himself a lifelong sting of pain and remorse, or a bright, happy, inspiring memory. —— s Mrs. Shelly Frontis, Mrs. Espy Brawley. ~ Se Se Se se ae ae Mrs. W.

If a man is so blind that he eannot see the charms of the summer girl, he doesn’t deserve a fascinating wife. He deerves to worry along through life as a lonely old bachelor and have his estate absorbed by an asy- lum for orphan pups. ~ For she is a vision of beauty and a dream of delight. From the bow in her hair down to the fetch- ing slippers that cover her little ‘feet; from her glowing cheeks to her parasol; from her peek-a-boo Waist to her irresistible manner, she is the central feature of the landscape, the joy of the nation, the catch of the season—the Sum- mer Girl. — > 2 <p Mr. J.

June 26—~‘‘ There is not a county in the State spend- ing as much money for, or cor} suming as much whiskey as_ be- fore prohibition, and not the ‘the shghtest probability that the next 1 egislature will repeal the law, probibition sentiment being ;sounder and stronger than here- torore’’ is a notable paragraph in a letter given cut by Governor Kitchin addressed to Rev. W. B. Oliver, pastor of the First Bap- tist Church, of Florence, S.C... who’sent the Governor a publish- ed interview with James M. Allen, Jr., of Goldsboro in the Florence Times in which assertions were made that North ness was demoralized by prohi- Carolina busi- bition; labor demoralized and the “blind tig- unsupported — by negroes engaged as ers;’’ the law public sentiment and working corruption and evil; drunkenness more prevalent; more money ex- pended for liquor and sentiment growing to return to local option policy. Answering inquiry and charges more fully the Governor says: ‘‘Business in the — state o ‘is sound and progressive as in any adjoining state. Prohibition has not demoralized labor.. It is true some negroes and some white men are violating the prohibition and the courts are constantly sending them to the roads. Con- sidering the profits, violations are not beyond what the prohibition- ists expected. The law is a ereat benefit to the state, though, of course, there are many good citizens who opposed prohibition, and who still doubt its efficiency and wisdom. It “is,” however; satifactorily here as in any state in the union.” The governor characterizes the Allen interview as ‘“‘grossly mis- leading’’ and declares as to ccr ditions in Goldsboro, order and soberness is wonderfully improv- ed. This in answer to charges by Allen that there wa more drunk- ‘enness in Goldsboro now than he ever saw before with jug trains and the express company doing a bie business, 65 e@allons ef Liquor 1 day being a dull shipment for Goldsboro. ———__~4§+<> > Funeral of Late Gilmer Wither. spoon, The funeral services of Mr. Gi! mer Witherspoon, who died in St Louis last Tuesday night, wer conducted from the First Presby- terian church yesterday afternoon at 4 o’clock.

They have a new way of deal- ing with undesirable moths in Ger- many. According to a German trade review powerful electric re- flectors placed over a deep recep- tacle with exhaust fans behind them have been erected on top of the municipal electrie plant at Zittau. From this at ‘night two great streams of light are thrown on the forest half a mile distant. The moths drawn by the bril-|= hancy of the light, rush towards the reflectors and the powerful current from the exhaust far whirls them into the receptacle. On one night three tons of moths were caught and it is believed that this new method will exterminate the pest. 4 Island Ford Item.

Washington, June 28—Stab- bing their negro assailant several times with hatpins, which they used as weapons of defense, two young women, Friday night ac cording to a belated police report, repulsed a black assailant near Fourteenth and G streets. The young women, who are employed ts telephone operators, are Miss Janet Shank, 16 years old, and Miss Claudie Freeman, also 16. The negro escaped. According to the story the girls told the police, they were walking on G street making their way to the office of the telephone com- pany about 9 o’clock at night when the negro approached them and endeavored to engage them in conversation. The girls walk- ed rapidly on and the negro fol- lowed, until Miss Freeman, fear- ing that he was about to grab her handbag, turned and struck him a blow in the face. Bewildered by the sudden onslaught of the young girl the negro did not rea- lize that when the girls’ hands went to their hats they meant business. Together they attacked him, Miss Shank stabbing him three times and her companion puncturing him five times in the back, : The negro fied, pursued by the girls. The young women, how- ever, were not able to keep up the pace and the black man made his escape. They immediately tele- phoned to the First Precinct Sta- to apprehend the negro and no re- port of the matter was made un- til many hours later. tion, but the police were unable, , % } ; : ak ‘ uM vi CS he a t . ee a 2 = aE ee AE S BE R Sy re 8 ME S et Se ) ay Dp : ee ry ac a i ee Sc ee ne ee ne ae a oe s ER PT RTE eh ts bay a RAE I FAY gs THE EVENING MASCOT DAILY EXCEPT SUNDAY.

We said the other many Southern leaders were Czrolina day that con- fused in their notions about tari taxation because thes become to the economie ideas which have taken root in their altered its attitude policy. The recent protest of the Hon. Roger Q. Mills against what he considered an “degeneracy” on the Southern Senators raised = the had not yet accustomed ree VW section and toward the protcetion exhibition af part of and Represent: atives has question whether the South’s spokesmen of today are really ‘‘degenerate’’ or whether Mr. Mills is omerels misled by the prejudices of thi past in thinking It is noteworthy that his complaint is echoed by few influential South ern newspapers. He is still hou ored and respected as a leader of Southern opinion at a time when the South was a far greater er in national polities than it is now; but it is generally recoyniz ed, tacitly, if not openly, that the ideas which he and his associates fought for in the SOs and early 90’s do not greatly interest the south today. The states below the Potomac and the Ohio are more or less wn- consciously re-shaping their tariff views to fit their present omic interests. For the most part the revolution is incomplcte. and many southern statesmen and newspapers are advoeating what is practically a policy of out-and- out protection, while using old eatchwords like incidental pro- tection and equalized taxation for revenue purposes to bridge over the gulf between new notions and old professions. In a few in- stances, however, these palliations are being dipensed with, the con version having reached the final stage and being frankly avowed. We take pleasure in reproducing some recent expressions in The them so. pow eeon- Charlotte Observer, one of the ablest and most influential of Southern newspapers, — beeause they do not balk at acknowledeine a complete break with the anti- protection traditions of the Seuth. Said The Observer last week, eom- menting on the fact that many southern senators and representa- tives are still influenced by tradr tion to follow anti-protection lead er ship like that of Mr. Mills, Mr. Carlisle and Mr Vest: “The tariff question, it must be remembered, is not very much of a political fetich for North Caroli- na which was largely Whig and protectionist even in the heyday of slavery. Even in states where the fetich status seems almost universal people are bound to re- alize before long their folly in bowing down today before the economic doctrine which John C. Calhoun devised for a slavery South. This economic doctrine deserves little kindly recollection. for it made the loss of the aS war almost a foregone conclusion with those few wise men who. like General Lee, understood from the first that in modern war valor is as greatly handieapped by inferi- or numbers. There is no tender sentiment of any nature investing the Calhoun tariff doctrine ; it now represents only the corpse of once living idea “and afflicts the South as many similar survivals affliet China.” ~ SEATS SRP LOC RCTS v9 ROTTS pee LARS jdiation of the economie policies of which were revital ized for when Mr. Cleve- land accepted the tuition § of Southern leaders on the tari?

Sheriff Deaton went out yes- terday afférniidon ~ to investigate the case and dispose of the body. Moffitt ha Been sick for 8 or 10 days and Saturday went with a lumber wagon to Elmwood where he saw Dr. Hill and got some med- icine from him. Dr. Hill examin- ed him and told him he had the symptoms of typhoid fever and advised him to go home. He also gave him a dose of calomel and some other medicine. Moffitt re- turned with the wagon that even- ing to the neighborhood of Mr. Jno. W. Webb’s. When near a grove of woods a few hundred yards from Mr. Webb’s house he left the wagon and told the driver that he might drive on as he would go over to a Mrs. Moore’s, colored, and get her to cook him a chicken. He stop- ped about 20 yards from the road and lay down.~ There was evi- dence of his wallowing in the | leaves and several bloody dis- charges were found, the result of hemorrhages of the bowels. A small quantity of leaves were piled up on which he rested his head and there he was found dead. He had evidently died Sat- urday night or Sunday morning. His remains were taken up and buried in a colored grave yard near there, an inquest being deem- ed unnecessary. Letiers found in his possession showed that his par- ents live in Ramseur, N. C. He has a brother, Zeno, at Lynch- burg, Va. A letter from Sheriff Jones of Guilford county received by Sheriff Deaton several weeks ago says that he was wanted there for some offence, the nature of which was not stated. ——__++@>o—___- Short Notes From Stony Point.

Richmond, Va., June 28.—In- ternal Revenue Agent W. H. Chap- man is today in receipt of start- ling reports telling of an ambus- cade of United States deputy ecol- lectors in the mountains of Lee county, where moonshiners fired on the officers from the bushes. The report is very graphic. very desolate. ied by W. J. Sloan, proceeded into Lee county as far as_ the little town of Broadway. Leaving Broadway and penetrating three miles into -the mountains in 2 - southeasterly direction the officers came in sight of an abandoned hut. The county in this section is very resolate. The appearance of the hut gave unmistakable indications that it had recently been used as a re- treat for moonshiners, and a vig- orous search was at once deter mined upon. In order to facilitate their in- vestigations the officers separated. Sloan had not proceeded 300 yards when he discovered three men re- treating through the woods, each armed with a Winchester rifle. Rejoining Merritt the two officers started in pursuit, when suddenly they were fired on from several directions in the forest. Sloan had his hat blown from his head and a bullet carried a biscuit which Merritt was eating out of his hand. The officers threw themselves face downward on the ground just as a withering fusil- lade cut the underbrush where they had been standing. A singular incident connected with the encounter is the fact that as the government officers lay prostrate on the ground a moon- shiner lost his balance in a tree - top overhead and came crashing throwgh the branches, falling al- most across the body of Collector Merritt. Jumping to his feet, the frigh- tened thoegi wminjured outlz took to the tall timber, and was apparently followed by the other members of his gang, as no furth-» er firing was indulged in by the mountaineers. The officers later discovered and It ‘destroyed a 40-gallon copper still.

All that a man hath will he give for his life. We have in the dis- patches from Asheville an account of a man who will give all that he has for “his life. Senator Isaae Stephenson, of Wisconsin, reputed to be the wealthiest of all the wealthy men in the United States Senate, is reported to have said that he would give all his mil- lions if by so doing the health of his son could be restored. Tt ‘ot likely that a day passes that many men do not risk their own lives for gold. It is the price of many a crime untold, and many have doubtless bartered away their souls for it. And yet here is a man who says he is willine to give all he has fur his son’s life. More than this, there are multi- tudes of people who would will- ingly impoverish themselves to save those they love. But as pow- erful as wealth may be, it cannot alone in such a ease as this stay the hand of death, and as the rich are no more regarded than the poor. Nevertheless, when a man who has spent all his life in the accumulation of wealth, and who doubtless values it accordinely, says that he is willing to give it all to purchase health for his son, this is an exhibition of human love that elevates mankind above the level of the beasts that perish— Baltimore Sun. son’s is Se A enna | ELOPING COUPLE CAUGHT..

With seven children and a fat wife, Jolin Seivert. lately from fowa, is living in a stump in the northern part of Seattle. Seivert came here several months ago. He had but httle money anda large family. Be cause of the great boom here he was unable to find an empty house and resolved to build one of his own. He bought an unimproved lot in the north part of the city, in a district where logging opera- tions ceased but a year ago, and on eoing out to plan his house he found half the lot occupied by a figantic stump thirty feet high and eighteen feet in diameter ten feet above ground. With an auger and saw Seivert cut out a seven-foot section from the south end and walked into his stump. The walls were found to be fifteen thiek and the whole stump was a hollow shell. inches He ent out windows, laid a tieht floor and made a ceiline of: plank- ing and flooring. ce With a ladder he eut another door twelve feet above went inside and made the win- dows for the second storv.
