The work of taking the next{ census will soon be under way. President Taft says that there} shall be no politics in the work. President Roosevelt vetoed the bill which was passed shortly be- fore the end of his term because it would have given the spoilsmen a chance to control the appoint- ments under it. He wanted the selections to be placed under the merit system. As the bill with} the objectionable clause could not be passed over the veto it was just gone through both branches that clause is omitted. It was! omitted because Mr. Taft holds! precisely the same ground on that| point that his predecessor occu- pied. To this civil service feature there is naturally some objection, in the belief that to the ‘‘victors belong the ~spoils,’? and at any rate that competent Republicans should have the preference. However, the taking of the cen- sus is a very important work. It is a business proposition, and business principles should be ob- served in doing it. Accuracy is an imperative demand in it, and this requires intelligence in the selec- tion of the census takers and in the allotmeut of their tasks. On their work will be based all the calculations which will be made for the néxt ten years regarding the country’s population, wealth and general condition. As the al- lotment of representation in the popular branch of congress and in the electoral college depends on the count of inhabitants which is made, every one of the states has an interest in having the count ! correct. As the country is growing with the census taking should begin early, and should be pushed with all the vigor and _ intelligence which the bureau ean put into it. The country wants the figures just as early as it can get them, and it wants to have them correct. Polities will have no place in the selection of the men to do this work. The past ten years has been a period of wide develop- ment in all activities throughout the country, and naturally much interests in felt in learning just Mrs. Julia Stowe of Concord | Miss Sue , Evening, May 1 1909.

It is the opinion of Entomolo- | gist Sherman that the San Jose| seale cannot be exterminated. He | says: **No one need expect to ‘exter- minate’ or “get rid of’ the San Jose Seale when it once becomes firmly established in his orchard, no matter what measures he uses. It is here to stay, and our growers need to recognize it as a perma- nent pest, to be fought regularly and intelligently. If this be done there is no difficulty in keeping it in good control; but the man who starts in which the idea that he can exterminate it is apt to merely at this thing in the light of com-, mon sense experience. We don’t expect to ‘exterminate’ potato beetles, but the means of control are such that no potato grower need lose a crop from them. We do not expect to *éxterminate’ the flies in our houses, but the meahs of control enable us to reduce their number and control them. No inseet pest which has so many means Of spread has ever been absolutely exterminated. when once thoroughly established. It is a matter of control, not of ex- termination.’’ ————_2 + __——- THREE NEGROES LYNCHED Mob Takes Advattage of The Ab- sence of Militia at Marshal, Tex.

Xx ew York, April 30.—Nine per- sons, six of them children, were burned to death, and 13 others were injured, some fatally, in an incendiary fire in street occupied by twenty Italian families, early today. The blaze followed a de- mand by members of a so-called Black Hand Society for the pay- ment of 31,000 blackmail. It spread through the building with startling rapidity as the hallways were soaked with kerosene oil by the blackmailers. Tenants fought their way dowr the fire escapes or jumped from the windows while babies were thrown irsem windows into the arms of policemen on the side- walks. Of the injured, five, of whom two are children, are not expected recever.

Especially is this noticable in New Hope town- snip. New Hope township is the roughest and most mountainous portion of Iredell county—in fact about all the mountains in the county are to be found in that township. Yet it is an evident fact that a larger per cent of the surface of that township has been cleared than that of any other township in the county. One can stand on some of the hills or mountains up there and see only cleared land or old pine fields in every direction. The very steep- est hillsides have been cleared. Why was this?) Why did the peo- ple wish to clear all this land where they could scareely make a living, while in the surrounding country there was stronger land. not near so hilly and nearer the markets? “In Bethany Township. which perhaps was settled about the first of any in the county, we find a good deal of original for ests yet.

Many Statesvllle people take their lives in their hands by neglecting the kidneys when they know these organs need help. Sick kidneys are responsible for a vast amount of suffering and iil health, but there is no need to suffer nor to remain in danger when all diseases and aches and pains due to weak kidneys can be quickly and permanently cured by the use of Doan’s KidnePills. Here is a Statesvlile ci tize r recommen dation. Mrs, S. Revis, living at 212 Sev- enth St,, Statesville, N. C., says: ‘‘T can recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills as a remedy that acts up to its representations. I sent to MHall’s Drug store, and procured them while suffering from pains through thelow- er part of my hack and frequent headaches which had caused me great distress.

WANT TO INTERVIEW BOYLE At Jail Is Refused Admittance—. Prisoner in State of Collapse. Mercer, Pa., May 2.—Another mysterious woman has -appeared here in connection with the Boyle abduction case. She registered at the Humes hotel here as Mrs. Anna D. Forbes of Beaver Falls, Pa. She asked to see James H. Boyle, say- ing she wanted to see if he was the man who had ealled on her daughter recently. The sheriff re- fused her admittance to the jail. She arrived here on Friday, the day set for Boyle’s trial and was in court when the trial was post- poned. She has remained here since the announcement of the con- tinuance. She is said to receive a large amount of mail from Canton, Ohio. The condition of Boyle this morning was serious. It is uncer- tain whether he will be in condi- tion for his trial on the abduction charge set for Wednesday. He is in a state of almost complete nenvous collapse. i _____ The Greatest Consolation Cardinal Gibbons. The greatest consolation attain- able in this life is found in the pursuit and practice of virtue. But this consolation arises from the well-founded hope of future bliss rather than from the actual fulfillment of our desines. The virtuous are happy because they “| have ‘‘a promise to pay’’ and not p p because they have received the ac- tual payment of the debt of the Living Justice. Thus we see that neither riches, nor honors, nor pleasures, nor knowledge, nor the endearments of social and family ties, nor the pursuit of virtue, can fully satisfy our aspirations after happiness. The more delicious the cup the !more bitter the thought that death ; Will dash it to pieces. ‘“‘The souls of the just,’’ says -the Book of Wisdom ‘‘are in the hands of God, and the torment of ‘death shall not touch them. In , the sight of the unwise they seem- ed to die, and their departure was taken for misery. But they are in peace, and their hope is full of immortality.’’ Whether our immortality will be happy or miserable rests with ourselves.

From 8,000 to 12,000 seamen are involv- ed in the struggle. All union gea- men in the service of the Lake Carriers Association will leave the boats today or as soon as they ar- rive in port, if at sea. There are now about three thous and union seamen in the employ of boats controlled by the Asso- ciation. The strike arose over the inability to agree on a labor schedule for th: .cning Year New York, May 1.—Two thous- and bakers of the East Side are on a strike today, in demand for former size loaf. higher wages, closed shop, shorter working hours better sanitary conditions.

The twentieth ctntury is al- ready notable for thé great gifts of rich men for the good of human- ity. This work will go on, we have no doubt, and perhaps with increasing generosity. John D. Rockefeller startled the world by his princely contribution of thirty million dollars to edn tion He has given half as much | more to one institution of learn- ing, and many millions to others. No matter how he got his money, the lavish way in which he lets it gO is to his eredit. Andrew Carnegie has also dune some grand giving, though for the most part he puts his money among people who are not jn need. Libraries and pipe organs do not put bread into the mouths of the ; They lack system, are unbusiness- poor, or clothes on their backs. The vast sums that have been pour ed out by these magnates, while they are helpful have not gone to the people who are in deepest need nor have they touched those insti- tutions that are closest to the heart of humanity. Dennis Simmons, we have no doubt, put his money where it will tell a thousand fold more, dollar for dollar, than either Rockefeller Carnegie or Duke. A hundred thousand dollars in- vested in the redemption of child- hood is worth more to the world than a million invested in pipe or- gans or libraries, or placed in the hands of a committee with pervert- ed ideas of education. Simmons’ money has gone to the heart of things. It is working day and night in the child-saving business. It not only educates and develops, but, what is fa1} better, it redeems. It searches among the waste places of the world for those who have nowhere to go except to the dogs. It ex- tends merey and blessing to the most helpless and pitiful and poor of all the race. It may not put the polish on young men and wo- men that comes through higher education, but it spreads a shelter over the heads of waifs and stray- lings exposed to the storm. It tears from the devil the children he claims as his own. Does any man believe that Andrew Carne- gie’s money is doing as much for the world as Dennis Simmon’s? ~~ ~+ ee Stiff neck is caused by rheumatism of the muscles of the neck.

The one has inherited tendencies the tions of selected ancestry, to de- velop a certain form or certain | qualities; the other has inherited} in varying degrees sO many cou- flicting lines of blood that there} is no special fitness for any par- ticular purpose. These two pictures, for exam- ple show the widely different form and characteristics of the dairy- bred cow. years of careful selection toward a particular type and for an es- pecial purpose; and the qualities, even though each parent was an individual of the highest qualiXy. It is so with all kinds of stock. | Our nondescript hogs, unprofitable | ¥ eattle eattle and sorry, makeshift horses are, for the most part, the result of haphazard and _ indis- eriminate breeding. This is why we believe in pure bred stock, and why we urge you to decide just what you wish your stock to be, and do and then to begin breeding them toward that particular type and for that end. There will now and then be found mongrel animals that are good animals, and pure breds that are serubs; but these are the except- ions and not the rule, and we must be guided by rules rather than by exceptions. —~ The dairy-bred steer will not make as much beef or beef of as good quality as will the beef-bred steer: the beef-bred cow can not compete with the dairy-bred cow in milk or butter production; the half-wild hog of the woods will not lay on flesh as cheaply as the hog that is bred to make meat; you can not expect speed from a Percheron, or size and strength from a light-weight trotter. _ How foolish it is then to keep on trying to make beef from steers with strong straings of dairy bloud in their veins or to produce milk with cows that have as much beef blood as dairy blood! And can we expect to make cheap pork from a hog whose inheritance is speed rather than the ability to take on fat, or to get horses big enough to handle improved farm machin- ery by breeding to little stallions of no particular type? Serub stock means scrub farm- ing, and because we have had scrub stock is one reason why the profits from our farming have Is it not time to change? A Bold Step.

Catastrophes—and this old world is never free from them—- have been more frequent and ona greater scale in the last few years. it seems, than ever before. Volcan- ic eruptions, earthquakes, storms, wars and massacres have follow- ed each other in quick succession. Thousands of persons have been killed and millions of property destroyed.yet in a few weeks after the occurrence it has almost been forgotten and no further mention of it is made in the papers. While we do not believe that the world ‘is growing worse, yet man must be held in check. These great disasters are calculated to make us more sensitive to the duties we owe our God and of our obh- gations to our fellowman. The per- son who will not be touched by the destruction of his fellow men and whose life will not be softened by the sufferings of humanity can have but little hope of peace in this life or in the life to come. +1 That we should put more energy and more money in our education- ul crusade in this state and coun- ty, there is no doubt. ago when the last census was tak- en North Carolina had a greater number of illiterate children than any other state save one.

With a four months term guaranteed in every district and with a reasonable price for the teachers, iliteracy eught to soon be reduced to a minimum.

They have reduced illiteracy only 1.6 peF cent of the last five years We do not know what efforts have been made by the teachers and schvol officials in Georgia to re- duce illiteracy, but we do know they have made a poor show.

It seems to have been “‘demon- strated’’ than 100 or more bushels of corn per aere ean be grown in North Carolina at a cost of 7 to 8 cents per bushel. That corn ought to have a home market in hogs for at least 75 cents per’ bushel, and leave a good deal of manure es profit besides. Rm I agree with Dr. Knapp as to the desirabiliity of deep break- ing in the fall for corn, provided the breaking in the fall to get a winter cover for the land, but I would never allow land to lie bare all winter in the South. A light plowing will then suffice in the spring. Bedding for corn is alright on level lowlands needing drainage, but on the rolling uplands the soil should be kept as level as possible to prevent gathering heads of water. aoe The advice to dise the land be- fore planting till perfectly fine is all right. Few farmers put enough work on the preparation of the seed bed before planting. I ssw a man once planting corn on the stiff prairie soil in Mississippi among clods as big as a nail keg, and he said that it would not do to make that soil fine, as it would bake too hard for the corn to get up. I thought that what was need ed was more organic decay in the soil to prevent this baking. I agree, too, to the four-foot rows and 20 inches in the row for corn, and do not believe in planting eorn“on land that will not make good ears. I have seen many a field of corn in the South which the man who planted it must have known would not make corn enough to keep the little mule that broke it. Why men do these things year after year, and then complain that their land is poor, is hard t ounderstand. But Ido not believe that a far- mer who grows only 18 bushels per acre can make it at a cost of 34 cents a bushel. In fact, I do not believe that 18 bushels per acre without commercial fertiliz- ers, and if would have been in- teresting if those who made more per acre with the fertilizers had had a plot for comparison without the commercial fertilizers in or- der to see what the fertilizers had done. I know men in Maryland who have not used commercial fertil- izers on corn for more than twen- ty years, and yet make 75 or more bushels per acre. Where a farm- er has a short rotation of crops and always has a manured clover sod for his corn, he ean make corn at a lower cost than those who use commercial fertilizers. " The demonstration would be more valuable if the demonstre- tors put their whole farms into a good crop rotation and farmed the whole well—Progressive Far- VENUS.” } mer. nse ate ‘ -* De treme THE EVENING MASCOT DAILY EXCEPT SUNDAY.

It is noted as a residence town. Nearly every person who has ever lived here has some word of commenda- tion for the city. Its people are hospitable and enterprising and are proud of their town. Today will, no doubt, add much fo the beauty of the town. Our folks believe in cleaning up their pre- mises, not only on cleaning up day but everyday of the year. Statesville has the prettiest lawns to be found in any city of its size. The county court house and lawn and the Federal building are the admiration of strangers as well as home folks. With the already many beautiful residences and well kept lawns and_ premises Statesville will today add greatly to this and become truly a ‘‘City Beautiful.”’ ———++> eo —_ __ PARDONS. Governor Kitchin is using the pardoning power much more lib- erally than cock did. comes either Glenn or Ay- Seareely a daily paper out but the granting of some pardon is recorded. The Mascot is opposed to the promiscuous granting of pardons. Ninety-nine times out 100 when a man is convicted of a erime he is guilty, and when the judge passes sentence it should generally be allowed to stand. Of course when additional evidences comes to light that justice has been perverted or, in case the eonvicted person has contracted some _ ineurable disease a pardon is justifiable. A judge is in a position to learn of any extenuating cireumstance at the time of conviction. The jaw- yers leave no stone unturned to inform the court of any fact that is in favor of their client, and when the eourt passes sentence on a convicted criminal it is with the full knowledge of~ surrounded circumstances and should seldom be made void by a pardon of the governor. : Stiff neck is caused by rheumatism of the muscles of the neck. It is usually confined to one side, or to foe back of the neck and one side While it is often quite painful, quick relief may be had by applying Cham- berlain’s Liniment.

Cottrery’s Constnier’ Invoke Him Against Sugar Trust—Hun-" dred Million Dollars May be Saved in People’s Penny Tri- bute—Trust Tariff Tax Two. Cents a Pound. New York, May President Taft to tariff tentacles with Sugar Trust octopus from all American over $100,000,000 last year the customers of 200,000 small cers throughout the land sent to the White House from this city today a final plea for a real re- duction on this uinversal house- hold necessity which congress re- fused in the face of petitions from the people of every state in the union. Through the committee of Wholesale Grocers, which has been formed here to assist in ob- taining cheaper sugar for con- sumers through the reduction of duties on raw and refined sugar, the heads and housewives of over 100,000 American families have recorded their support of this movement, which the _ official figures show can result in an an- nual saving of $8 to every house- hold in the Jand. Only the inter- vention of the president can to- day save the wage earners of the entire country from paying tri- bute at breakfast, diner and sup- per to the powerful trust which has saddled sugarj on the plain people with a burden of duty eight times that of diamonds, it 1s declared. Reminding the president that besides the little brown sugar growers of the Philippines there are 90,000,0000 men, women and children on his home continent in the grasp of the sugar trust, this petition of the Ameriean con- sumers asks for’a squaae deal in reducing the huge 80 per cent tariff, on the basis of which fully two cents is tacked to the price of each pound of this kitchen staple of which 2.284,791 tons were im- ported for consumption last year. loosen the which the squeezed gro- In forwarding to Washington this} mass of requests from their cus- tomers for cheaper sugar, the{ grocers declare that heir interest im inereased consumption is iden- tical with that of the consumer, and cite the recorded statement of the indpendent refiners that they require no protection and the admission of both raw and re- fined sugar entively free of duty. The fact that the sugar trust has recently sold for export large quantities of sugar at almost two cents a pound less than it was of- fered to American consumers is also called to the attention of President Taft as proof that the trust con refine sugar without pro- tection much better than every housewife can afford to pay the tariff tax of fuly twenty cents every time she fills her ten pound sugar jar. - Ineluded in the thousands of petitions against this trust tax on their daily food are hundreds of granges and farmers who have hastened to register their protest over the counters of the village groceries in every section of the eountry. Ten* millions of farmers today pay a two cent tax on every pound of sugar for their house- holds, they point~ out, solely to give a bounty to les than a hun- dred thousand farmers who are engaged in raising sugar beets for the trust which is known to con- trol the domestie product. Though this is the greatest fruit-growing country in the world, it is further! asserted, the stunting of the can- ning and preserving industry through lack of cheap sugar to- day robs the farmers of what} might be arn erormous demand for) their fruit. Just $142,723,347 could have: been saved to the housekeepers of this country last year without the’ tariff tax which the sugar trust would perpetuate in the Aldrich bill, it is shown by figures taken from government statistics.

We take it for crant- ied that vou broke your corn land | early and deep so that you have | Caught the winter rains and have | had the action of the atmosphere ) on the soil for sometime. Corn | is one of the crops that requires |a@ great deal of moisture. Every | Stalk of average size will need | three hundred pounds of water j tc make a good yield of corn.

We | all know that a corn crop is ruined \by a drought. One of the main objects of cultivation from now Moreant thas mornine to often: f . | Morganton this morning to attend | on. therefore, will-be to keep the moisture in the soil. It is lost mainly by evaporating into the air. If however, the soil is kept loose on top this evaporation is checked. Hence, to do the work | properly all that is necessary is |to run a weeder, light, harrow or | other cultivator over the land ev- ery week or ten days until the corn is too large. This loose dirt on top acts like a blanket would on a wet horse. It keeps the mois- ture there by preventing the wind from carrying it off. We all know that we always find moisture nn- der a plank or -other covering on the eround. The loose soil on top acts in the same way in re- taining the moisture: After the first or second eulti vation and after the corn is six or eight inches high all plowing should be shallow. <A turn plow, a long scooter (gopher) or other deep running implement is not the best thine to cultivate corn with after the roots get out into the soil. Any deep plowing at this time breaks the roots, thus eut- ting off the capacity of the eorn to get food and water. We would not think of pulling out a horse’s ;teeth and then turning him into even a good pasture and expect him to do well. Neither should we treat the corn in the same way by breaking the roots This early and frequent cultiva- tion also keeps down the weeds jand grass. It is usually the grass ithat comes up with the corn that | give most trouble and that has te ‘be gotten out by expensive hand the vemainder of the dav with! hoeing.

C., May 6—For North Carolina fair tonight and Friday. Cooler in the interior. ———_~<-+er> » The Tariff is still a live issue at Washington. It is not as strictly a party jssue as it once was. Many prominent southern Democrats are favoring a tariff on such articles as are produced in their respective sections, while several northern Republicans want certain articles not produced in their states on the free list. It is perfectly clear why south- ern Democrats may wish a pri- tective tariff for articles raised in the south. Since the northern manufacturers have enjoyed this monopoly for so long a time, the southerners believe that if protec- tion is to.be a part of the policy of this country, the south should have apart of it. The north has been growing rich ut the expense of the south, and if this policy is to be continued for all time of course all sections should share alike. While we do not censure our senators and representatives for their efforts in trying to put some of our articles on the pro- tected list, we do say that the whole idea of protection is an outrage and a frand. There is no end to the list of interests wanting protection. Every man engaged in a business that a protective tariff will help, of course wants his business protected. He cares but little about other folks. He wil help the other fellow if the other fellow will help him, and so it goes. All of them club together and the consumer who is the la- boring man pays the bill. It is not an economie principle of gov- ‘ernment to be worked out on logi- eal lines, but it is an eternal hustle and scramble among the great cor porations to see how much they ean pull the masses of the people. Protected capital can af- ford to employ lawyers and loby- ists to look after their interests, but on the other hand it does not hurt one consumer enough to just- ify his employing a special repre- sentative to fight for him. The whole sum and substance of the tariff is to take a little off each of the many and put part of it into the hands of the few ee ae an Attempted Jail Delivery. Some little excitement was oc- easioned last week in the vicinity of the jail by the futile atter: made by one of the prisoners to escape. The prisoner whose at- tempt ended in disappointment was L. W. Crim the negro who is awaiting trial charged with be- ing impleated in the stealing of some cotton out of a Seaboard ear at the crossing several months ago. When Street Overseer Glasec brought down the convicts to begi nthe day’s work, Crim eonceived the idea that he could slip downstairs and make good his eseape. Well, he made the attempt, but the race was short-lived as Capt. Shouse of the waterwork’s force happened to be coming across the hill from Flat Rock, and being something of a sprinter himself. he soon overhauled Crim and land- ed him back in jail—Cleveland Star. TP ——' Stiff neck is caused by rheumatism of the muscles of the neck. It is usually confined to one side, or to the back of the neck and one side While it is often quite painful, quick relief may be had by applying Cham- berlain’s Liniment. Not one case of rheumatism in ten requires internal treatment. Whea there is no fever and no swelling as in muscular and chronic rheumatism, Chamberlain’s Liniment will accomplish more than any internal treatment For sale by all druggists. Chamberlain’s Litiment. This is a new preparation and a good one. It is especially valua- ble as a eure flor chronic 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 iof the muscles, usual- ly brought on by exposure to cold 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. Card Game Ends in Row.

Adana, Monday, May 3—Via Larenica Ciprus, May 4.—Adana is still lawless. More people were) killed in the city yesterday. There | are 30,000 dead in Adana province | as a result of the massacres and | 35,000 homeless and penniless re- | tugees are wandering in the vil- ayet. The deaths in Adana city alone are estimated at 6,500 Adana is terrorized by 4,000 suldiers, who are looting, shooting and burning. No respect is paid to foreign properties. Both the Irench schools have been destroy- ed and it is feared that the Amer- ican school and commercial and missionary interests in Adana are ruined. The new vali has not inspired confidence. There is reason to be- lieve the authorities still intend to permit the extermination of all Christians. The troops here are making a pretense of throwing water on the flames; instead of water they use kerosene, thus pur- posely adding to the conflagration.

Washington, D. C., May 6.—The president has reached a decision in tbe North Carolina judgship con- test, and the appointment will go ro Justice Henry G. Connor, of the e supreme court. The nomi- nation may be transmitted to the tomorrow, though it is ossible that it may not be made public until Monday, which is the meeting of the tat senate next regular sengle. i Today the President discussed the judgeship with Senators Sim- mons and Overman, Representa- tives Morehead and National Committeeman Duncan. He may want to have a word with one or two other Tar Heels tomorrow, but Mr. Taft’s mind is made up, and it is divulging no secret to declare that he considers Judge Connor the best equipped lawyer for the judgeship among all the candi-} dates who were mentioned in con- nection with hte appointment. Mr. Taft has considered with favor the name of District Attor- ney Hary Skinner, and it was his desire to appoint a Republican, all things considered, but he made up his mind finally today to send in the nomination of Judge Connor. The Washington Star, the ad- ministration organ here, gives the following interesting account of the judgeship situation this after- noon: ‘*‘Of the judgeships that have given the president most rouble, he is expected to settle one this week. That is the judge- ship for the Eastern District of North Carolina. Senators Sim- mons and Overman, of North Car- oling, were both with the presi- dent today discussing the matter. “Their interest lies in the fact that the president may name 4 Demoerat as judge. In spite of the protest of the Republicans against accepting a Democrat, the president is inclined to select oen. His standard for judges of the Tnited States courts is exceeding- ly high. “Mr. Hughes, the man he offer- rd the Washington judgeship to, 's the leading lawyer at the Paci- ie coast, and his refusal of the po- sition was due to the facet that he would saerifiee thousands of dollars a year in his law practice. “The North Carolina Republi- cans have not been able to bring forward 2 man the president feels '§ up to his standard for the hon- *r. He greatly desires to name a Republican, but his ideas of the ‘eneh stand ahead of polities.”’ There will not be the slightest trouble about confirming the nom- ‘ation of Judge Connor, despite "treats of Marion Butler to the “ontrary. Butler’s influence in te senate is negligible, at most, “nd with the two North Carolina Sehators urging the confirmation of Judge Connor’s name, there is = doubt of the result. In fact, it S tost likely that the confirma- bon would be without delay.— omas J. Pence in Raleigh News ‘nd Observer. 2+ i considerable frost is reported 2 the various sections of the "tty.

Theearth is rank with infidelity. Doubt hangs on lip of youth and age, of man and maid and ma- tren, and boy philosophers, rotien before they are ripe, strut in the mannish pride of license, and fing skepticism against the Ro. of Ages while society laughs and applauds the sacrilege. Science, indeed, has made some show of logic with its creeds, but science in its deeper digging is unearthing the answer to its own sombre doubts, while the noblest minds that follow it are coming out of the darkness into the beautiful light where reason and revelation stand with clasp- ed hands, above historie faith. But a thousand flippant fools, emulous of scientific daring yet lacking its power and its depth rush in with airy pertness where scholars fear to tread, and, blink- ing their weak eyes at the splend-j or of the truth, rush back into the darkness to berate omnipotence for mercy and to murk the glories of His Providence in the hollow eary of doubt. This is the sweep of intellectual liberty that appeals to me be- eause its hand is careless and its probe is shallow. Men may shut their eyes and see facts throug! their prejudices and practices if they will. And human intellects that draw near to truth, with enmity and defiance, seeking a law to solve their sins and free resorvcd for the Veterans, the| their lusts, can always find a hand Daughters of the Confederacy and the Children’s Chapter by mar- shalls and ushers Seats will be designated by placards and it is earnestly requested that each or- ganization wear badges so that marshals and ushers ean recog- nize the organization to which you belong.

I am no mossback of religion, and 1 would not unloose the blood-hounds of orthodoxy in any honest thought. But I tremble hefore the flippant and irrever- ent spirit of the time. ~ There are institutions too great and creeds too holly to be ap- proached without reverence, or to be condemned without far-reach- ing investigations. Given this serious and profound -onsideration our representative government will triumph, -as it al- ways does, and the Church of God will live. There is no fear of that. For eighteen hundred years men have been saying the Church of Christ was waning and would die. It lives on. The heathen massacred its de- fenders and pillaged its temples, but it lived on. Herod persecuted its innocents and Pilate crucified its Lord, but history has pilloried Herod, and the infamy of Pilate will be linked forever to the glory of the Cross Nero and Calhigular drenched its flickering life in blood. but it lived on. Tom Paine and Voltaire delusz- ed it with infidel ink and assailed it with transcendent wit. but the scornful shafts fell harmless from its shield, and its beautiful gar- ments washed whiter than snow ‘Bloody Bill Cunningham plung- | ed his sword into its Scottish body, but the blood of the martyrs made the seed of the Church. It has survived the shock of all its ancient foes. Be sure it will not perish before its modern enemies. The high priest of eloquent infidel- ity has mocked it in golden sen- tences, but it lives.

In his boyish way ‘he told the story of the man who said his name was Mr. Jones, calling for him with a buggy at school and ling him that he had been sent to take him away on account of smallpox; that he was to take others also, and that ‘‘Billy’’ would meet his friends on the train. ‘*Billy’’ said ‘‘Mr. Jones’’ gave him a letter and told him to write his mother’s name and address on it; that he did so with a pencil and the man mailed it in Sharon. When asked to describe the difference in the man’s appear- ance then and now ‘‘Billy’’ said that when he first saw the man ‘‘he had his’ whiskers here,’’ pointing to his upper lip. He said the man took the whiskers off after a little while. When Abner Hancock, a bar- ber of Niles, Ohio, was asked to stand up, ‘‘Billy’’ identified him as the man who shaved Boyle. He told of the trip to Cleveland and how he had hid in the bot- tom of the buggy as directed by ‘‘Mfr. and Mrs. Jones.”’ ————_ ++ oo An Elkin, N.

So do not you be the first to break the ehain. ‘May you find a blessing is the prayer of yours. —"’. The editor of the Mascot be- lieves in prayer but not of the endless chain variety. This pray- er especially is tainted with super- stition. Tt is too much hke wor- shipping a lock of hair or a toe nail of some of the apostles or saints. as is the custom with many. The writer of it tries to give the impression that a blessing is con- ditioned wpon the writing of the prayer so many times. ——__> +o ———_ Unearth Plans to Kidnap Govern- or’s Son.

ROOSEVELT PROFESSOR. } Dr Charles Alphonso Smith Se- lected for Honor New York, May 4+—President, Butler, of Columbia University, | announced yesterday the ap- pointment of Prof. Charles Al-| phonso Smith, dean of the grad-| uate school of the university of | North Carolina, to be Rooseveit professor of American history and iusti‘utions in the Universi- ty of Berlin for 1910-11. Pro- fessor Smith’s appointment was mde by the Prussian Ministry of Educatioa of Columbia Uni- versity. Professor Smith’s predeces: ors in the Roosevelt professorship have been Dean Burgess, of Co- lumbia; President Hadely, of Yale; Professor Felix, of Colum- bia, aud President Wheeler, of the University of California. Professor Smith was gracuat- ed from Davidson College, North Carolina, in 1884, and took the degree ot doctor of philosophy at the Johns Hopkins University +n 1893. The University of Missi- sippi conferred on him the degree of doctor of laws in 1905. After a period of service at the Johns, Hopkins University and, at the State University of Louisiana he began service in 1902 at the University of North Carolina. In 1994 he was offered election as president of the University of Tennessee, but declined the honor —_~4 <> Importance of Disinfection. The time is coming when it will be considered that a disinfectant is as important and indispen- sable about the house as the soap and scrub rag. Io all up to date towns and villages, a house where scarlet fever, Giphtheria, smallpox, tuberculosis, or ty- phoid fever has existed is at once disinfected, but there are other diseases which are contagious that require guarding against. Many cantagious diseases are not necessarily, or immediately fatal, or even a cause for anxiety but they are liable to open the door of the system to other diseases, and thus become af- flictions or annoyances. While disinfection against the serious diseases is of the utmost import- ance, precaution should be tak- en, when moving into a vacated house by disinfecting against possible, but unknown contagion but also to eweeten and cleanse the building in which we alreacy live. Unsuspected diseases may linger in our own homes, only waiting the proper conditions for development. Sickness is the result of some broken law, and itis not always the guilty who pays the penalty. Ne ROOSEVELT DISCUSSES THE PEACE OF POWER. New York, May 6.—Ex-Presi- dent Roosevelt declares in an article in this week’s Outlook that itis the duty of America to wait aud see whether or not Japan succeeds in preventing immigration to this country of} any appreciable number of Ja- panese laboring and smail trad- ing classes. ‘If Japan fails, he writes, this government must protect itself by treaty legisla- tion; but he adds ‘it would be doubly incumbent upon us to take the action in the way that would provoke the least possible friction and cause the least pos- sible hard feelings.” Although he asserts Americans have the right to say what im- migrunts shail come to their shores, they are powerless t2 en force that right against any na- tion that chooses to disregard their wishes unless ‘‘we continue to build up and maintain a first class fighting navy. Dr. Paul A. Barrier, who was stricken with paralysis on Tuesday of last week at his home in Mt. Pleasant, died there yesterday af- ternoon at 12:40 o’clock. No hope was entertained for his re- covery from the time he received the stroke. RUN DOWN BY TRAIN. Well Known Durham Farmer “Meets Tragic Death. Durham, May 3.—The dead body of Dan W.

This is a new preparation and a good one. It is especially valua- ble as a cure for chronic 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 iof the muscles, usual- ly brought on by exposure to cold 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. IREDELL SEED AGENCY J. C. DUKE, Manager.

An eléction was held in District No. 7 white Shiloh township, yes- pores for the purpose of voting a special school tax of 20 cents on the $100 valuation and 60 cents ; On the poll to lengthen the school term of said district Thirty-one j votes were cast for special tax eighteen again, which in very de- cided majority. The patrons in this district are to be commended jfor this forward move. They have already subscribed about $350 for building an up-to-dae school house. This with a like amount from the County Board of Education will give them an excellent, wel lararnged building, and their local tax will guarantee them a 7 month school term. Thus, from barely a 4 months term in a small crowded hut, this school will start off next fall with better paid, teachers, a longer term and a model house.

Perry, was ah pa t a asylum at Morganton. for treat- Ment for mental disability, due to some love affair. The parttic- Perry, and the Mascot published the statement as given the local reporter by those parties. The following letter was re- ceived by this paper today from Rev. B. F. Hargett, pastor of the Methodist church at Wilksboro concerning the statement in this paper: **Editor Mascot :— I notice a paragraph iv this weeks issue of your paper which does a great injustice to Mr. Thos. Perry and family of this place. Your article says that Mr. Perry became suddenly insane and was earried to the asylum at Morgan- ton and that the reason of this! mental disability was a love a!’ fair. I am sorry your informant was so indiseret, and made the situation so embarassing.”’ “The fact are that Mr. Per: has been in bad health for some time, and had a complete nervous breakdown, which temporarily unbalanced his mind He was no* taken to the insane asylum at Morganton, but to a private sani- tarium for special treatment, the physician giving every assurance that he will soon be himself again. Very Respectfully Yours, B. F. HARGETT, Pastor M. E. Church Wilkesboro, Nui: While the Mascot is very will- ing to make this correction, we wish it to be understood that our informant was one of the parties in charge of Mr Perry, and the statement was published accord- ine to particulars obtained from him. BRIEF LOCAL ITEMS. The 9th grade and their teacher, Prot. Craven, pieniced at Turners- burg today.

The 7-year-old son of Mr. Steph- ep Ware was the victim of what might have proven a very serious aecident on last Saturday. The little fellow was at Dr. Thacker’s farm house in the country, where a man was working on an open well thirty-five feet deep, when he accidentally fell into the well, sus- taining severe bruises, and loose- ning of sevral teeth. Fortunately no bones were broken. The little; man will ever be greatful to his prompt rescuers.

Late yesterday afternoon Mitch Cowan, Wiley Blackburn. and the latter’s daughter, Maggie, were tried before Judge King for serap- each and one half the costs for Simple Assault, while the woman was put under a $25 bond for her appearance at the next term of court for using a deadly weap- on, to wit. a brick bat upon the head of Cowan. The trouble all started about the pay for the colored teachers of the Billingsley Memorial school. This-sehool closed last week, and the door receipts were to be paid to the teachers to supplement their salaries. It seems that Rev. Wentz, the principal of the school had already advanced some mon- ey to the teachers and kept the door receipts. Cowan interceded this money ought to be turned over to the teachers. while Black- burn finally Clinched, fel to the several words. Cowan and Black- burn finally clinched. fell to the ground, and rolled into a ditch. Cowan landed on the top side and was rapidly making jelly of Blackburn’s face. when the lat- ter’s wife and daughter came up, helped Blackburn to get on top. After doing this, the daughter, Maggie grabbed up a brick bat, and pounded Cowan on the back of his head, inflicting several scalp wounds. The ‘‘Scrappers’’ were then parted and warrants were immediately sworn out be- fore Judge King, the result of the trial being stated above.

IREDELL SEED AGENCY J. C. DUKE, Manager. There are many farmers wno do not like the various corns known as Prolific, on account of the hard flinty grain, and the large cob. To all such we have to announce this weck that we have secured the very corn you have been looking for. This is the McClamroch. This corn has been grown for mary years by one farmer, and it is a prolific variety that uniformly grows two good ears to the stalk. The ears are of medi- um size, cob small, and well covered with long, pure white grains Now is your time to get a long grain, small cob prolific corn. Iredell Seed Agency: ty line in D. B.

It was the pleasure of the editor of the Mascot to attend the closing exercises of the Kennedy school commencement. Prof. J. R. Bar- ron, the principal, had an exellent program arranged which was well rendered. The exercises on the part of the school consisted of Songs resitations dialogues, ete. The smaller children especially had been wellt-trained and recited their pieces remarkably well. The writer with Zeb V. Long Esq., arrived just in time to par- take of a sumptuous dinner which had been prepared by the good women of that community. Talk about enjoying life! There is nothing to compare with one of these rural pie nies. No worry, no trouble, free and happy, an oc- casion like this is enough to dis- pel. the’ blues from the most con- firmed pessimist. At 1:30 p.m. the writer intro- duced Z. V. Long, Esq., of States- ville, who made an eloquent and forceful educational speech. We shall endeavor to give a synopsis of his speech in tomorrow’s paper. Rev. J. J. Edwards, of Troutman, made an address in the forenoon, which was highly spoken of by those who heard it. Prof. Barron gave entire satis- fation asa teaher. The seven months just ended has been the most suecessful one in the history of the school. Although some of the partons have objected to the locai tax in that district ever since it was voted three years ago, this prospercus term and Prof. Barron’s serviees as teacher could never have bcen secured withont it. Having taught for these good people several years ago the writ- er enjoyed this visit among old patrons and pupils and apprecia- ted the many expressions of good will he received from them. —— ee DEATH OF AN AGED LADY.

Two women, Mrs. Will Russel! and Vera Lindsay, both of the old cotton mill section were hailed before Judge King for a skirmish *n ike Statesville cotton mill Fri- day. The trouble elf grew out of an old feud between the Russell and Lindsay families. The men folks of the two families had a fight last winter and were tried at the last term of court. Later a brother of the Iinsey girl was arrested for retailing with Mrs. Russell as a Witness. After this oceasion, the two wo- men got into a fuss, which result- ed in the Lindsay girl pulling the hair of the Russell woman and striking her with a spool used in the mill. They were parted by spectators befure any serious damage was done. Vera Lindsay was fined $1 and the costs. Mrs Russell was discharged. ~~ <@>-e—_——— ESCAPED FROM CHAIN GANG A Trusty Takes to the Woods— Also Takes Suit of Clothes With Him. Clarence Smith, colored, escap- ed from the chain gang yesterday and has not yet been captured by the officers Smith is a Turners- burg negro and has served several terms on the roads for various offences. Last year Smith had nearly served out a term on the roads when the officers made a “trusty”? of him. Smith appro- priated to himself a suit of clothes belonging to Sam Nicholson and left for other parts.

Southbound is Abandoned—Mr. | Vanderford Arranging for a | General Meeting in Salisbury. | Friday ’s Winston Sentinel says: |’ Mr. T. H. Vanderford of Salis- | bury, was here today. He says rhis town has given up the South- bound railroad proposition, owing to the fact that Winston-Salem {is nore favorable to the route al- ready surveyed via Lexington. We are now figuring on a read from Salisbury to Monroe, a dis. tance of about 55 miles, to connect With the Atlantie Coast Line and Seaboard roads,’’ said Mr. Van- derford. ~ The New Route. Mr Vanderford was called to Winston-Salem yesterday by Mr. Hugh Chatham and the two went over the proposition to adopt a ne wroute. The Winston people say they have already spent $203.- 000 on the Southbound by way of the proposed old route and can- not afford to abandon it. The new route. The Winston people would conect with the road run- ning out of Marion, Virginia, from Marion to Sparta, Sparta to Elkin, Elkin to Statesville to Sal- isbury, Salisbury to Faith, Faith to Mt. Pleasant and from Mt. Pleasant to Monroe. A meeting of citizens from all points along this proposed line will be held in Salisbury very shortly and it is expected that def- finite action wil be taken.—Salli- bury Post. oe EE te Trying to be Somebody Else. One of the greatest enemies of ecntentment and real happiness is a habit of comparing ourselves with others—-eomparing financial ennditions, possibilities, homes, en- ronment. {t is a stror'g man that dares be himself, who does not envy others, and who ean see his neighbors sTOW prospercus while he only makes a living. This Constant eomparison unsettles character, ;and makes oue dissatisfied with his lot. tee One of the greatest triumphs fox nano ambitious young man is to learn to be coatented, to be satis- fied with doing a good honest day’s work; to be contented to live humbly, if necessary, while his neighbors roll in wealth. A burning desire to fill a high place, to do something unusual to uttract public attention to do that which must be accomplished with tremendous strain and stresss of the faculties—a straining after effect—-tiis morbid ambition is one of the curses of the age. No one can live a true life who do, or think, or say. Be content to be yourself, to be self-Contain- ed. Contentment. after doing one’s level best, brings a poise and sweetness into the life, a bal- ance to the character, which can never under festering, over-anx- |} 4ous, abnormal ambition. ‘ ‘The man who is always trim- [sang his sails—backing and apol- ogizing beeause he has not been able to do this or that, who is not |eortent to be himself, who is al- ways trying to be somebody else, | ‘will never develop a strong char- | acter.

One Marriage in Ten Broken. Prof. E. A. Ross, in the Century. Twenty years ago an investiga- tion by the Department of Labor showed that 328,716 divorces had been granted in the United States between 1867 and 1886 and that divorces were increasing two and one half times as fast as popula- tion. The recent census of 1887- 1906 brings to light 945,625 di- vorces and demonstrates that the movement coustantly gains in ve- locity. At present, probably one marriage in ten is broken, and in some states the proportion may be as high as one in four. Forty years ago the broad contrast was between North and South; but the divorce rates of North and South have been converging, whereas those of East and West have di- verged. The Central States have two and one-half times the rate of the Atlantic States while for the Western States the proportion is three and one-half. CN ad LIGHTNING STRUCK BARN. The Barn of Mr. E. F.

There are few busi- ness men but know some feature of its resources. The facts of the South- have been set forth statis- tically in government documents and in special trade papers. The magazines in recent years show an increase tendency to in- elude articles referring to some feature of the development of the south. It remained however, for the Southern Commercial Congress, which met in Washington in De- eember, so to mass the facts and interpret them as to send a thrill of conscious knowledge through the country. Prior to that nota- wle gathering, held during the vuaServation week, there was a secant realization of the stupendous truth regarding the South enunci- ated in the cohgress in these words: “‘Nature has given to the states south of the Mason and Dixon line more available coast line, more navigable streams, more water power, more water products, more forest resources, more agricultur- al range from the products of Florida and Texas northward, and greater general accessibility to eoast line than can be found in combination in any other portion of the United States.”’ Granting the accuracy of this statement, it follows that there is to be unfolded south of the Mason and Dixon line a commercial dra- ma of marvelous meaning for the whole United States. The Wash- ington Herald proposes therefore from week to week to gather into one section in readable form the history of this drama as it is worked out by the energy of an awakening South. When viewed as part of the great sfory of development, the affairs of each community in the South become of increasing im- portance. Hitherto the straining of communities has been toward development within themselves but the wider, broader, and more startling facts is that the South as a whole will go forward when each community with its own - special gifts realize in its organiz- ed body that the work of all com- Anniversary Of Mecklenburg Delaration Of Independen- ce, Charlotte, N.

The child was af- flicted with a rare cerebro spinal com. plaint, a most unpleasant manifesta- tion of which was a frequent hic. cough, and eminent physicians, both !in America and Europe, had pronounc- ed the case organic and incurable. Later there came to five in the vil- lage a widow witb a little girl affected similar to the millionatre’s daughter. This child wasa delicate, flower faced creature, wistful from the isolation that must have been her sad lot, and the peculiar bark-like hiccough which she made at once attracted the mil- lionaire’s attention, and, being a big hearted if rather ignorant man, he gave the mother employment about his home and showered the afflicted child with presents. ow’s advent an eccentric German doc- tor settled in the village, and, his serv- ices being sought by the widow, he gave her child treatment, with the re- sult that it was completely cured. The milionatre immediately sought to place his own daughter under the German’s care, but the latter flatly re- fused to take the case. He was a Socialist of a violent type and would have nothing to do with a man whose wealth exceeded the sum that he had fixed upon as the lawful limit of ma. terial possession. Finally, however, after the father had patiently borne the grossest in- sults the German agreed to give the afflicted child treatment on condition that the other would first deed over.a large tract of land in Texas for a So- elalist colony and pay him for his fea &@ sum little short of $50,000. This the millionaire did, but as soon as the doc- tor had cashed the check he disappear- ed with the widow and her child, and the wealthy man realized that, blinded by paternal love, he had been made the victim of an ingenious swindle. The flower faced girl of the widow had been taught to simulate a disease, and the German was no doubt her father. He was subsequently located in Buenos Aires, but he injured man, not wishing his daughter’s affliction published broadcast, dropped the pros- ecution.—Don Mark Lemon in Bohe- mian Magazine. EXECUTING MAZEPPA. Peter the Great’s Odd Way of Punish- ing a Deserter. Peter the Great, czar of Russia, pun- ished a traitor on a notable occasion in a@ way that the numerous victims of the present czar’s wrath might well wish were still in yogue. Mazeppa, chieftain of the Cossacks, had deserted to the king of Sweden, geppa was at once tried by court mar tial and found guilty of high treason him camp of the Swedish king, but this fact was not permitted to stand in the way of the carrying eut of every part of the sentence. A wooden effigy of Maseppa was made, and the punish ments were inflicted upon the Cossack ehieftain’s substitute. The effigy was first dressed in Ma- zeppe’e uniform, and upon its breast were pinned all of the medals, ribbons and other decorations that the real cul- prit had worn. While the commanding general and a squadron of cavalry stood near an officer advanced to the wooden man and read the sentence. Then another officer wrenched off the effigy’s patent of knighthood and his other decora- tions, tore them up and trampled upon them. This done, he struck the wood- en gentleman a powerful blow in the pit of the stomach, knocking him over. Next a hangman appeared. While the soldiers shouted he threw a noose over the imitation Mazeppa’s head and drag- ged the effigy to a nearby gallows, where it was “hanged by the neck until it was dead.”—Scrap Book. Could Handle a Shovel. The foreman Of a Chicago iron mill once employed a tramp who had been a college baseball champion. Their acquaintance began in a way that showed the tramp still to be game and cheery. It was a cold autumn dawn, and the tramp had slept in front of a furnace on a warm stone. The fore- man, being short of laborers, on his ymorning tour of inspection spied the fellow and thought he would give him a job. “My man,” he said, “can you do any thing with a shovel?’ “Well, I could fry piece of ham on it.”’—Minneapolis Ji ‘nal.

Jones and her 8-year-old son Howard, who livenear Cham pion postoftice, were in a surrey on their way to Lewis Fork caurch and about one-half mile from Ready Branch postoftice. The boy’s hat had blown off and after getting it, he was climbing into the surrey when the team started, the boy’s leg caught be. tween the spokes of the forewheel and his leg was twisted-and en- tirely severed from his bodw just above the kuee. When the team was stopped the severed limb was found several yards in the rear of the carriage. He was taken to Dr. A. J. Eller, who lived near, and Dr. F. H. Gilreath also went from this place Sunday and the limb was amputated. It is thought the lad will recover. _———_s-1>-e- Forced Into Exile. Wim. Upchurch of Glen Oak, Okla., was an exile from home.

To the This life is not made up alone iof dollars and cents. The real comfort and enjoyment we get as we go along are worth more than all the money we make. It costs little more to build a neat attrac- tive house than it does to build an unattractive one, and what a vast difference in appearance and en- vironment the one has over the other! There is real enjoyment and satisfaction—not only this, but profit as well—in transforming an unattractive place into one of beauty. This can not be done, perhaps, in a single year, or even a term of years, but by constantly hammer- ing away during odd times a won- derful change can be brought about. ‘““Sprucing up’’ does not neces- sarily eall for a great expenditure cf money, unless buildings have been permitted to get in a-badly dilapidated condition before this work of improvement was begun. Old, battered fences, sagging gates swinging on one hinge, sway backed and déteriorated roofs on out buildings, unpruned vines and shrubbery, are all sources of un- sightliness and vexeation, un- necessary and easily prevented. The buildings and fences around the premises should be kept in constant good repair treated oc- casionally as time and wear indi- cate, to a fresh coat of paint or whitewash; this will preserve the wood and change the appearance of the home in a remarkable de- gree. Nice, clean, dry walks, judici- ously planned and Constructed, should be provided and maintain- ed about the farm’house, to the narn, dairy, ete. Such walks can be made at very little cost, save for time ex- pended in construction from ma- terials available on most every farm, such as limestone laid flat or | crushed, slate, gravel; cinders, marl, boards, etc. Where a more pretentious and costly walk is de- sired, brick, concrete or dressed stone may be used. Most any of the materials enumerated make an efficient, lasting job and add greatly to the appearance, com- fort, convenience and_ value of your home. The lawn should be nicely grad- ed, turffed and regularly Clipped. A few choice trees, evergreens, shrubs and flowers may be plant- ed, but these should be distribut- ed along the sides or grouped in masses to form a frame for the picture made by the house. Care must exercised not to over-do this planting, or the lawn will appear like a wilderness rather than a thing of beauty. The back yard should have a thorough renovation and no long. er be used (asI regret to sav many are used) as a dumping place for all maacer of refuse. rubbish, tin zans, swill and of- fensive matter to serve as a fer- tile field for disease-breeding germs. 1 eonelusion, let me insist that you set the pace for more attrac- tive and inviting rural homes in your neighborhood; and see how He showed deep feeling in the matter and made no effort to run. He said that his father is very cru-l to his children and that Saturday afternoon the parent flogged him with a piece of secantling. The boy resisted and in the struggle for the pos- session of the pistol the weapon was discharged. Tae ball struck the thick portioa of the lez and did no great damage. The elder Carter was taken to the physicians and the boy brought up town. It appeared largely an accident, although the officers incline to to the be- lief that it was an intentional shooting. They think it justified the old man having incited the boy to violence. The bond of the boy was fixed at $50 and he gave it. He is married but his wife has left him and the past two or three years he has been living with his father. ——— ee Death Of Mys. Cloaninger. Mrs. Ela Hager Cloaninger, wife of Mr. D. M. Cloaninger of Lenoir, died yesterday afternoon at Dr. Long’s sanatorium. Mrs. Cloaninger was brought to the sanatorium about a week ago, underwent an operation and was getting along very well up to yesterday, when her condition became alarming. Her remains, accompained by Mr. Cloaninger aud his brother Dr. Cloaninger, were taken to Stanley Creek, Gaston county, last night. The funeral services and in- terment will take place there to day. Mrs. Cloaninger 1s survived by her hustand and three children and a number of brothers and sisters.

California is one of twelve states in which there are laws prescribing instruction in hu- mane education. But before any real or appreciable gain to the children can result, this import- ant study must be placed upon an equal footing with the other branches in the sehool. This im- portant instruction merits some- thing more than a ‘‘wedged in’’ place among other studies. It is evident that all children must have moral training. The majority of them will go entirely without it unless the public school comes to the rescue. There is a great need of scien- tific-humane”’ text books, the pre- paration of which must be thoughtfully undertaken. They must be written from an enlight- tened humane standpoint, and fact and sentiment must go together. If such text books were at hand, it certainly would facilitate the work of securing for the study its proper place in the schools— Quarterly Bulletin, Oakland (Cal.)

Newton, H. May 10.—Judge M. Justice today, after hearing argument of attorneys for the} defense and plaintiff in the case of W. A. Bollinger against the superintendent and executive committee of the board of direc- tors of the Western Hospital, sus tained the demmurrer so far as it applies te the officers of the hospital. He will hear future ar- gumepnt as toits application to the defendant, Rader. The effect of this decision is that there is no ground for action against the hospital authorities. The plaintiff will carry the case to the Supreme Court. This is the case in which suit has been brought for $20,C00 damages against the hospital authorities and the father of Lonnie Rader, a discharged luna tie, for killing Miss Willie Bollin ger, daughter of Mr. W.

(Continued from Ist Page.) upon their souls and yet they en- dured it al] with an eye that never quailed, a cheek that never blanched, a step that never fal- tered, a fortitude that never fail- ed and a fidelity and constancy that captivity or death or defeat: could not repress. In the closing days when Lee with fifty thousand was holding jn check the two hundred thou- sand who were led by Grant, every morning sun as it came from its chamber in the east, brought forth a eall for battle and every time it sank upon its rosy couch in the Western skies, there began a period of nocturnal vigi- lance that was even worse than the battle itself; a period when those heroic souls, without sleep or rest, must remain at their post of duty, knowing not but that be- fore the dawn of another day, their souls would be sent to meet the Great Unknown. No mothers were there to ease the dying hours of their” noble sons No sisters were there to moisten the lips of their devoted brothers or Cool their feverish brows. Not a sin- gle circumstance was there to soften the hard and bitter life their needs must lead; not a single thing to cheer their drooping spirits or bring the smile of joy to their careworn faces. Even the most hopeful knew that the end was near, and yet to the final day there rang strong and clear the Rebel Yell that bespoke a faultless and dauntless heart en- cased in a breast as true as steel Is there any wonder that such an army as that won victory af- ter vietoty, beat back army after army and establish a military prestige that is the admiration of the world?” Without commerce or nationa. recognition, with seareely half the numbers of their enemy and less tha nhalf their resources, with no nitre for the powder, with no brass for their pereussian caps ex- cept that made from the kettles and still on the old plantations with no modern arms except those vaptured from the foe, with the Confederacy eut in twain by a navy with which they had naught to eope and with every port but one blockaded by a_ hostile fleet. they maintained for four long years a struggle that has been the miracle of the age in which it oc- curred and which will be the ro- mance of ages to come. “T believe it was the finest sol- diery the world has ever seen,”’ said Viscount Wolseley who had seen the armies of all Europe go to battle. ‘«There were never such men in any army before,’’ said Lee. ‘“‘They wil go anywhere, and doe anything.”’ ‘“Why do you not move that line of battle to make it eonform to your own,’’ asked Hunter Mc- Guire of General Griggsby as he gazed at a lone line of men lying quietly in ranks on the night that followed the battle of Sharpsburg. ‘Those are all dead soldiers,”’ was the reply. Dead they were, fallen upon the field of battle in their country’s reseue. So fierce had been the rain of shot and shell that a whole host had withered beneath its seathing fire and yet every man had died in the spot where duty placed him. As in life, so in death the line of battle remained unbroken. Can the his- torian present a grander spectacle. 2 more uneconquerable spirit, a braver or more loyal soldiery ? Into the Southern armies went more soldiers than the entire white arsm-bearing population at that time living within the mili- tary confines of the Confederate states, and, of the million men that went three-hundred thou- sand were ealled to join the num- beyond.

Alone upon the farms and in small | er towns they waited in silent suspense, expecting each minute | to hear of a husband or brother | or son who had been cut down in the heat of the battle or wasted | away with a slow disease. Every day, in poverty and distress, they worked incessingly with tired hands and anxious hearts that! they might Clothe and feed the soldiers in the field. Every night as they lay through hours and dreary ~ hours of darkness and gloom, they could hear in their dream the agonizing shriek of dis- | tress from one they loved. Each ' hoof-beat was to them the sound | of the messenger of death; each peal of the village bell was a warning of impending doom. Oh unconquerable spirit of all) the ages that are past, look down upon the fortitude of the women of the Confederate states and in them you will find your purest and noblest type. ‘‘Four of my | sons have died for my country, | a — ~Soeethcmee ie od and here 1 give my laset,’’ were the parting words of a Southern) mother as she sped the fifth and | youngest of her sons to the battle- | fields of Old Virginia.

Never as long | as a Southern woman lives, will the splendor of your mighty valor be forwotten. Dark were the days and brilliant were the deeds by which your name is known, There was no prinfiple by which your minds were guided than that of honor by which your acts were governed than that of loyalty and devotion; no impulse by which your hearts were moved than that of boundless bravery and daunt- less courage A tnmultous hfe you were forced to live and a stu- pendous task yon essayed to do.

Asheville, May 10.—There was a reign of terror in the Southside avenue and depot sections of the town for a time early this morn- ing when a rain storm of great vio- lence swept over the eity, sending the small streams along Southside avenue out of its banks and flood- ing the entire low section around the Glen Rock Hotel and in front of the passenger station on Depot street to a depth of from several inches to several feet in water The storm broke about midnight and the small stream that courses along Southside avenue, and which the avenue crosses at sev- eral points, became a raging tor- rent and presently above the roar of the waters came the crashing of timbers as small bridges were swept away and demolished. The fiood continued and at 1 v’clock or thereabouts the Glen RockHotel was surrounded by wa- ter while Depot street in front of the hotel was inundated in places to a depth of four feet. According to one guest at the Glen Rock something almost akin the women folks at the hotel in- eluding guests and servants. This guest siad he was aroused by screams and fearing that some- thing was wrong huriedly dressed and sallied forth. The deluge at the time was the greatest. Sev- era] of the women in the hotel wrre screaming while others were praying. The street in front was flooded and several persons were making ready for huried de- parture. The bridge across the stream in the rear of the hotel known as the Else alley bridge, was swept away Else. No one was in the house at the time. The house rested on the bosom of the waters after be- ‘wg caught by another structure “urther down stream, where it floated and later fell with the go- ing down of the floor. Chicken voops, chairs, bed linen, furniture and other household effects were caught up somewhere higher up stream and brought down along with the timbers, small trees and other debris. Evidence of high water is man- ifest on many of the residences of the section today It was the greatest flood that the section of the town has. perhaps ever wit- nessed, leastwise for the past quar- ter of a century. © ~—_— 1 -O — < He Mis-Understood.

Chattanooga, Tenn., May 8.— The Tradesman this week will say: More uniformity in the move- ment of lumber from the South ig noted this week than for many months No one cause appears to be responsible for the betterment, numerous things working to the general resumption of normal trade. Hardwood has_ been es- pecially active in practically all the markets, and especially in the larger manufacturing markets. Furniture and vehicle centers have begun buying with some enthusi- asm, and this added to the gener- al demand because of the spring building season has produced a very satisfactory improvement. Operations at the mills also show some improvement, especial- ly in hardwood sections. The pine people, however, are still moving conservatively and making no ef- tort to crowd things. Pine has been in excellent demand, how- particularly in the western and central northern states. Re- tail trade has been good in the smaller places and shows every in- dication of continuing so. A welcome bidder for all grades of lumber this month is the rail- agent. Rail- roads have been practically out of the months and are buying this month agaim, and in- stuff ever, road purchasing market for quires for heavy are num- erous. Gradual improvement charae- terizes the lumber trade through- out the with fair pros- pects for an excellent summer and fall. Prices remain steady with a tendency to advanee, particularly in poular of hardwood. Cypress has advanced slightly in some markets but it has not been noticeable in the producing tions of the South. > country grades sec- [ron and Steel. There are encouraging signs for the future in the Southern pig iron market. ‘The sales made by the different manufacturers dur- ng the past month will eall for delivery for some time, while ne- gotiations pending may eall for a still larger production. . The ne- cessity of a larger output is be- coming more and more apparent and announcement is made that ‘wo blast iron furnaces at least will be blown in the next few days, while three others may be started up within the next four or SIX weeks. There is a steady de- livery of iron being made by the ‘urmnace companies. Quotations are strong at $11.50 Per ton, No. 2 foundry, with $12 eing asked in some offices. In- “cations are pointing strongly to S12 and $12.50 being the quota- —— before the end of this month iron is still in good demand considerable of this product IS heing Shipped out of Southern] ® Manutacturers, some of it being used in adjoining states and no Sail amount in he western terri- tory B ase a and “ast iron pipe plants through- OUL the South, with but few excep- ‘NS, are working full time. ‘he se rap market in the South- ern territory is still a little irreg- ular, but there is a_ little more ti “crap selling than in the past.

April also showed an improvement over March. Inquiries this week indi- cate that May holds much in store for the trade, although it is usual- ly a dull month. From the standpoint of South- ern jobbers conditions are adminr- able this season although trade caunot be said to have regained normal volume. Retailers who formerly bought heavily in manu- facturing markets have remained **close to shore’’ buying in smaller quantities and more frequent or ders and giving their business to nearby jobbers. Southern houses have made many new friends and nvaded new territory this year that promsies them good return in the future. Prices continue firm with little probability of advancing until the tariff question is disposed of by congress. Prospects for a good satisfactory, al: though yet dependent upon the crop situation. Several disastrous storms have visited various se¢- tions of the South, but have effect- ed the trade very little and do not appear to have injured crops ma- terially. 4 << eo —____- Forced Into Exile.

He praised the Methodist Church for its recogaition of the trade un ions and criticised it for uphold ing it for the man who desired to remain outside the union. “The church must get off the fense,” he said. “If unions are good for some wage earaers, they are good forall. It is the unions which have made wages good, and the nonunion men have shared in this benefit with out paying for it in any way.” ————+& oe.

In the news columns of Mon- day’s Mascot is a report of two special school tax elections which were held in this county Friday - Both of the districts voted the tax which makes 14 special tax dis- tricts in Iredell county outside of Statesville and Mooresville. Four of these have been-.voted this school year and “five last school year. Not a single election was lost this year, and two of the dis- tricts gave a unanimous vote for the tax. Another election in Union Grove township was to have been held Friday, but such opposition to the tax developed that the election was called off to preserve the peace and_ equilib- rium of the community. North Iredell has but one special tax district, that at Harmony, in Turn. ersburg township. We are quite disappointed that other districts in the northern part of the county do not supplement their school terms with special taxes. Of eourse these people have a right to vote as they please on this and all other questions. We are not trying to dictate to anyone how he should vote. What we object to is the argument they use against special tax. There are but few people now who are bold enough to say they are not in favor of public education or of better schools and longer terms. The ar- ‘gument is “1 don’t want to pay for educating the children of some one else,’’ and four-fifths of the persons who oppose a supplement- ary tax oppose it on that ground. Now léSs see about it. The very person that makes that argument received his education from the taxes of his fellow citzens. His children are going to school every year beeause his neighbors pay a school tax. Why then does he re- fuse to help some one else? But here is the inconsistency of the argument These folks who were opposed to it do not want to be taxed to educate other people’s ehildren. Why do they let other people pay for their schools? Here is an illustration—Union Grove township pays $426.00 school tax. Just enough to run her schools one month. It takes $1,777.00 to run her schools four months. Who pays for the other three months of their school term other parts of the county and the state of North Carolina? When a district in Union Grove is asked to supplement its school fund by as pecial tax some of her eitizens throw up their hands in dren when the facts are that other people are educating their chil- dren. There were many patriotic citi- izeus up there who favor supplr- menting their school terms by 1 local tax. We are not centuring them. They to be praised. They are willing to help pay for the things they get May the day speedily come when efery community in this good old county is willing to bear more of its own burdens. are —_———_2~+ oe ——__—_—_ A Scalded Boy’s Shrieks horrified his grandmother, Mrs. Maria Taylor, of Nebo, Ky., who writes that, when all thought he would die, Bucklen’s Arnica Salve wholly cured him.

It was feigning death, but the restless eyes betrayed it. A similar instance is that of the cardinal bird, which has been giv- en its name from its red top-knot, or hood.

A stranger devise is that of the famous ventriloquist frog of South America, whose weird chant may be heard, now here, there, as the earry, in its efforts to lure the wayfarer from its haunts. A well-known animal assures us that a lion never turns viciously on his mate, and that a keeper who indulges in liquor and dissolute habits loses all power over the animals. Some time since we were on a ear with two gentelmen—strang- ers.

From this habit the superstitious people believ- ed he used some ‘‘charm,’’ and named him ‘‘the whisperer,’’ by which name he beeame known far and wide. He never resorted to violence.

Orthodoxy Considered at The Forenoon Session of the Second Day of the National Episcopal Congress. | Boston, May 12—Diseussion and debate to topics, of pertinent | interest to the Church, were con- tinued at the seeond day’s session of the National Episcopal Con- gress today, ‘‘the incompatibility of genius and orthodoxy’ * being the subject considered at the fore noon Session. Papers by the Rev. Dr. Samuel D. McConnell, of Easton, Md., and the Rev. William Austin Smith, of Milwaukee on today’s subject were read. Dr. McConnell denounced ortho- doxy as an obstruction to thought and truth, and said that it re- mained for a genius to break down its wall. He claimed that it was impossible for a man of genius to be orthodox, while that spirit has always been opposed, and al- ways will be opposed, to the spirit of truth.” ~ Mr. Smith spoke in a similar vein, although his address was more conservative. John DeWitt Warner, of New York then addressed the Congress He argued that genius and ortho- doxy are not incomparable. The session closed with an in- teresting address by the Rev. Phileman F. Sturges, of Morris- town N.

N. 107 | INTERESTING APPEAL CASE. | a An Aged Lady F, Falls—Other mn ‘Discussed by —————— —The | PAesbyterian General Assembly Will Pass on Matter of Rev. M. | B. Grier, Missionary to China, For Baptizing a Polygamist. Columbia, S. C., May 13.—Much interest is felt by South Carolina Presbyterians in the coming for- ty-ninth General Assembly of the Church, which convenes in the First church, Savannah, on the 20th, with the Rev. Dr. W. W. Moore as moderattor, as this state has an appeal ease of general in- terest and importance before the Assembly—that of the Rev. M. B. Grier, of the Due West section, serving as missionary to China, for baptizing and receiving into the Church a polygamist. So far as the ease itself is con- cerned, the appeal is of a purely friendly kind, in the nature of a test case, and there is no bitter- ness concerned with it. But the question involved has been dis- cussed and argued throughout the country for several years, by mem- bers of other denominations as well as Presbyterians, and these are of great practical interest, es- pecially to the whole foreign mis- sionary field. Mr. Grier baptized a polgamist who had three wives who had been incurring expenses for him for some twenty years, and some interesting side ques- tions have arisen as to what atti- tude the Church should assume to- ward them and what disposi- tion he should make of the wives. The South Carolina Presbytery, following the non-committal at- titude of former assemblies, which left these matters to the discre- tion of the misionaries themselves, decided not to go into the case. It then went to the South Caro- lina Synod on appeal. This body sustained the action of the Prse- bytery, and now it is desired to get the ease before the Assembly in such shape as to force that body, the highest court in the Church, to definitely outline just how far a missionary may go and exactly where he shall stop. The missionaries argue that the churches had best be satisfied with making these heathen Christians, and that it will not do to dra 'fine distinctions. The ease is be- ing appealed by the Rev. W. H. Mills, of Clemson, while the Synod will be represented by Rev. J. M. Holloday, of Winnsboro. oe Christians Are to be Avenged Constantinople, May 13.—The thousands of Christians who per- ished in the recent massacres in the Adana district are to be avenged. The new Turkish gov- ernmént, spurred by the protests of the powers, is assembling an army of 30,000°men at Doden- gatch which as soon as mobolized will be shipped to Mersina as @ punitive expedition against the Armenians were put to the sword Reprisals upon the semi-savage tribesmen will be quick and stern. The war will be carried into their own territory and unless the lead- ers in the late atrocities are sur- rendered for punishment heavy toll will be taken on the villages. Some sharp fighting is likely to result as-the Kurds are natural warriors, but their defeat by the organized army, equipped with the latest of modern arms, is a fore- gone conclusion. The Turkish government feels that to establish itself in the eyes of civilization a stern punishment must be meted out to the mutinous tribesmen. —_<<@re—— WE ARE PAYING $1.50 PER Bushel for Wheat.

It was hinted that the su- gar trust is back of the move- ;ment to secure annexation. It was explained that many of the smaller sugar plantations are now owned by Americans; that the la- ‘oor employed by the Americans 1s well satisfied. but that the large sugar plantations owned by the i Spanish families and which have . ‘passed from one generation to an- other and worked under the peon ‘System. The fact that the labor- ers on the American-owned sugar plantations have money to spend and are given privileges denied the peon on other plantations has caused much trouble and is largely responsible for the demand far the return of American authority to the island. About one-half of the people in Cuba, more especially the better element, to say nothing of the Americans who have millionss of dollars invested there. are work- mg upon sentiment for the annex- ation and it is this, the report says that is causing the Cuban govern- ment officials to take little heed about meeting their finacial obli- gations, for they have been given to understand that if the United States intervenes again it means that the island will remain Ameri- can territory and that all the debts contracted by the Cuban govern- ment wil lbe paid by Uncle Sam. The prediction is being made in the island that the United States will be back in Cuba within a year, and to stay this time. ‘ Items From Faith.

The deacons conferred and alter a little debate decided that it would be a good idea for each member of the church to give one gallon of wine to the preacher, it being a community in which grapes were grown plentifully, and conse- quently all had plenty of wine. The pastor accepted the proposi- tion for the wine as his salary, and the following meetinzy day was appointed as the time for each member to bring ™ a gallon of wine and empty same in a barrel that was to be prepared for the occasion. On the moming of the meeting day, Deacon —, who had been looking in the grate thoughtfully, said to his wife: ‘‘Mary, one gal- lon of good spring water wouldn’t hurt in a fifty gallon keg of wine. would it??? ‘‘No, Silas,’’ replied his wife. The horse was hitched to the buggy the jug placed un- der the seat and the drive to the church was taken. Each one coming brought his Jug and went to the barrel in the | corner and poured the contents of | 1t therein. The pastor preached a good sermon on the joys of giv- ing. After the sermon was over. the spigot of the wine barrel was turned to have a taste of the wine, and lo and behold?! nothing came out but clear water. ao - How much trouble he avoids who does no tlook to see what his neighbor says or does ‘or thinks.— Marcus Aurelius. : ““TIt does not seem to matter what some people pass through— troubles or trials, afflictions or losses—ihey never lose the best thing about them; they still radi- ate an atmosphere of love and good cheer, of helpfulness, en- couragement, and a graciousness wherever they go.’’ —~-—_—<~< > — Forced Into Exile.

Long Pleads fcr the Education of the Common Peo- ple. We stated last week that we would ina s hort time give a synopsis of the speech delivered by Z. V. Long, Esq., at the close of the Kennedy school a few days! ago. It was so timely and full of thought that we wished to give it to the public. We are only able to give a broken and unconnected outline of it. The speaker preached the doc- trine of universal education. The speech was pitched on the highest plain of thought and was driven into the hearts of his audience with that fire and eloquence which carries conviction where it burns. ‘‘When we plead for pop- ular education,’’ cried he, ‘‘we are but carrying out that eternal principle which burned on the al- tar of the hearts of our patriotic fathers, and like a guiding star lured them on to the most glorious victory ever won for humanity. The principle which made king- doms tremble and dynasties fall all around us; that principle that all men are born free and equal. We are in the midst of a great thrilling, revolution of thought in our blessed Southland. a revoln- tion which shall know no_ hack- ward movement, no chetk, no bounds, until all our people shall not only boast of their freedom hut of their equality; eqnality be- fore the law; equality in all the opportunities of life and equality in all the benefits and glorious im munities of a state and a free citi zenship. You have heard it said that poverty and ignorance is a divine state for some or our peo- ple to occupy, that some were born to be poor, to be hewers of wood and drawers of water. I; —— - LER TS LOT.

J have faith iv hu- manity, and I believe that as they have done in the past that our people are equal to the problems of the present and of the future. But Tplead for those opportuni- ities which will give to the people that breadth of thought, that depth of intelligence and that patriotism which will insure the wise and safe solution of the prob lems of our age. These oppor- tunities must be afforded through the channels of our public school houses, for they are the nurseries of the hope and ambitions of our children. They are the mighty loom which are weaving out the fabric of our civilization. The pillows of our strength and the bulwarks of our safety.’’ We heartily endorse the posi- tion of Senator Long’s education- al policies. He did much in the legislature to protect the public school fund of the state and pre- vent the higher institutions from getting what belongs to the eom- mon schools. The following quotation is from the Raleigh Times during the ses- sion of the legislature. ‘‘Senator Zeb Vance Long, of Iredell, the ‘Ceberus of the treas- ury,’ certainly made good as chairman of the committee on ap- propriations. The fabled Cerbe- rus, the double-headed canine which so zealously guarded the portals of Hades, was no more formidable and terrifying than was Long, of Iredell, to the timid seeker after appropriations. Ue | was not stingy or miserly. He j ; a and his committee went over the; ground thoroughly, examined the State’s finances carefully and fix- «ad their appropriations to fit. Af- ter this had been done, ‘school was out’ with Chairman Long. He had nothing more to give and the n't believe it. I know it is not! hardness of adamant and moun- true, for I know that to the humb- comes the hope of succesful | achievements and a higher condi-} tion in life. It is the first dream that comes in the cradle song of the mother, it ministers to strug- eling manhood and soothes the pillow of age. My study of man- kind and humon affairs convinces me that one man is superior to an- onther in this world largely by reason of early environment and the opportunities afforded him in life. I don’t believe in stifline worthy ambition; I don’t believe m allowmeg chill penary to freeze the genial eurrent of the sor, hut I do believe in giving equal opportunity to all; I do believe that wherever God has planted an aspiring ambition in the heart of the poorest boy or girl that it de- volves upon the parent or upon the state fo prepare a way for the realization of that ambition. But my friends, passing away from the higher ideals and dreams of edu- eation. of the joy and_ blessings which it brings to the individual, 4rom a cold business view point and political reasons we must educate our people. Some coun- tries may stand on their theories without popular intelligence. but we eannot do it, for our govern- mentstands upon the priyciples that the masses are intelligent and presupposes a knowledge of self government. Therefore. greater responsibilities rests upon the citizens here than in any other Jand. Think of it! Great ques tions everywhere forging them- selves to the front-and clamoring for soution. Questions in the so- Intion of which tremble our do- mestic happiness and our eivil freedom, questions upon which the most gigantic intellects of our country are divided, yet, they cannot settle them, but these ques- tions, in the solution of which will he determined our destiny for all time to come must be settled in the great court of the common masses, in the mighty forum of the American conscience. So ] declare to you that_never before in the history of our country was there such an opportunity pre sented to test the power and abili- ty of our people for popular self- government. J speak with faith, tain flint would suceumb to the ‘scratch test” much quicker than lus stony heart. He justly earned the honorable title, ‘the watch dog of the treasury.’ No one could yet within hailing distance of those sacréd precinets without arousing his resentment and eall- ing forth the most terrifying growls. Senator Long was an effi- elent representative. Iredell eounty will do well to send him back again.’’ <> —____ The Earth as The Home of Man. It is held by some that the earth was made and exists pri- marily to furnish a home for the human race. Others argue that man exists on this planet, holding on as it were by a precarious grasp, in spite of untoward con- ditions, and that on the whole the preponderance of conditions is un- favorable to the race. However this may be so _ interesting to note how very small a part of the planet is habitable for man. The deepest mines extend about a mile below sea level; the highest inhabited spot, the custom house at Ancomasca, Peru, is about 16,- 000 feet above the sea. Hence the vertical extent of man’s oe- cupancy of the earth is only four miles; and it is evident that a layer two miles thick contains the dwelling places of nearly all hu- man beings. On an eight-inch globe this would be represented by a covering of paint or thin tissue paper. In horizontal ex- tent also, man’s home is narrowlr cireumscribed. Subtract the wa- ter surface, the vast unhabitable polar regions. the desert plains and the inaccessible mountain tracts and there remains about 1- tenth of the surface which is avail able. Probably not more than a halt of this tenth is of a quality favorable to the highest develop- ment of man. ——_~++@>-e—___.

Washington, May 14.—W. T Vernon, the register of the treas- ury. who is a big black African has been going to the restaurant in the house office building for his lunch for several days. His presence in the dining room has been objectionable to members of congress and today five of them walked out when the negro was escorted to a table with a black companion. These congressmen Messrs. Sims of Tenessee; Chandler, of Misis- sippi; Stanley, of Kentucky, and Garner, of Texas, protested against the presence of the negro and have made complaint to the Speaker. ; Si” The dining rooms at the capitol are the only first-class eating places in Washington where a ne- gro can gei a seat at a table That is why bumptious negroes like Vernon like to go there. Unless the color line is drawn, Southerners will boycott the Cap- itol restaurant. - Whopitg Cough, _ ease than is generally presumed. It will be a surprise to many to learn that more deaths result from it than from scarlet fever. Pneu- berlain’s Cough Remedy has been used in many epidemics of whoop- ing cough, and always with the best results. Delbert McKeig of Harlan, Iowa, says of it: ““My boy took whooping cough when nine months old. He had it in the winter. I got a bottle of Cham- berlain’s Cough Remedy which proved goed.

Suen ied FARTHEST AT GETTYSBURG. An Alexander County Soldier Went Farthest in That Famous Charge. We have a letter from an Alexander county man stating that an Alexander county soldier boy, Noah Logan by name, then only about 22 years old, a private sn company H, 55th North Caro- lina Infantry, Davis’ brigade, raeched a point 20 yards further/ Allie Arey 96.4; Mary Bradford -nside the Federal lines in Pick- ett’s famous charge than any other confederate soldier, either officer or private, and returned alive. The state Roster credits Noah to Yad- kin county, together with several other Alexander county boys. Alexander wants this corrected Noah is still with us and says he enlisted from Alexander and never was in Yadkin county. This let- ter was not written at Noah’s sug- gestion but we want to keep his- tory straight and to perpetuate the part Alexander county took in this world famous charge. If Noah were back at the place again he might help to settle the disputed point, “‘How far did Pickett go?”’ Phere are four military charges recorded in general history that}, are in a class by themselves: First, Leonidas and his band of three hundred Spartans at Thermopy- lac. Under cover of a violent storm at midnight they charged the Persian host of five million men under Xerxes. They reached Xerxes’ headquarters and slew thousands of his men but only one ‘messenger of death’’ returned. Second, The charge of Marshall Ney at Waterloo. “At the head of over four thousand powerful men on powerful horses, Napoleon hurled them like a thunderbolt to the erest of Mount St. Jean to erush the English army. With their sabers in their teeth, a pistol in each hand and with reins flow- ing free they started and with ever increasing momentum like a mighty projectile they charged the whole English army. Over one thousand of them found a grave in a sunken road that cross- ed the plateau, but the remainder, twenty-six squadrons, reached the erest and met twenty-six squares af English infantry, and then fol- lowed perhaps the fiercest struggle that ever occurred on this planet Waterloo. Third, the mad charge of the Six Hundred at Ba- laklava made so famous by Lord Tennyson’s description that near- ly every school boy knows it by heart. Fourth, Pickett’s charge at Gettysburg. This is known to all of us for many of the survivers still survive with us. —_—_—_~~+# Notice.

Raleigh, May 17.—In spite of the fact that it is generally under- stood that Governor Kitchin has determined upon the appointment he will make to the supreme court bench when Associate Justice Con- nor resigns to become United States judge of the eastern dis- trict of North Carolina the recom- mendations and ~ endorsements of various eligibles continue to come into the executive office. The latest list of those mentioned com- prises Superior Court Judges Al- len, Peebles; “Ward, Lyon, Guion and Biggs; ex-Judges A. C. Avery and R. W. Winston, and Messrs. J. S. Manning, N Y. Gulley, A. L. Brooks and E. L. Travis. The sharpest contest has been between the friends of Mr. J. S. Manning and Judge W. R. Allen, the en- dorsements of these gentlemen eoming from all parts of the state. However, it is ‘understood that Mr. Manning is leading in the mat- ter of the number of endorse- ments. The opinion generally ex- pressed is that Mr. Maning will be appointed and that the appoint- ment will be forthcoming just as soon as the resignation of Judge Connor is in the governor’s hands. — i 6 DISCORD AMONG CHINESE RIFE IN SAN FRANCISCO Placards on Walls Denouncing Acts of Consul-General at That Port. San Francisco, May 17.—The enemies of the Chinese consul gen- eral here have placarded the dead walls of the Chinese quarters with notices, giving specified instances of the alleged misconduct of Hsu Ping Chen, who is the representa- tive of Chjna in this city. The opposition to the consul has been at work for several months, but the fight did not take definite form until the placards were posted. Now the Chinese quarter has di- vided into two hostile camps, irre- spective of Tong and affiliations. One of the placards asserts that Chen extorted money from the rich merchants who wished to bring their families to this city by alleging that he needed the money to bribe the immigration officials to pass the women and children into this port. Other placards as- serted that the consul made 2 reg- ular practice of importing slave girls. Chen claims that the charges are the outgrowth of the efforts of his enemies to bring the control of the recently established imperial Chinese school into the hands of the six companies.

IT PAYS TO DO RIGHT. The following editorial appear- ed in the Catawba County News which the Mascot heartily en- dorses: ‘There were those who predict- ed Judge Connor’s destruction years ago when he had the cour- age to stand up for temperance. Again when the certain wild men were raving and snorting to im- peach the judges of the supreme court, Mr. Connor was calm and stood against such action be- eause he believed it was wrong. ““The statement that President Taft appointed him judge of the Federal court because he would not accept the populist nomina- tion is all tommyrot. Mr. Connor in opposing the impeachment of the North Cardlina judges showed the president that he, Connor, had a high conception of the judiciary and would not be a party to mak- tng a political foot ball of our su- preme court. This is the same eonception the president has of the judiciary and this is the one thing which above all others in- terested the president in Judge Connor.”’ ——-+~+@nr-o——_—__— LAW AGAINST PROFANITY. The Charlotte Chronicle in dis- eussing profanity says: “The Wisconsin legislature has passed a bill designed to abate the swearing evil. It has sent it to the governor for his signature. This law provides that ‘‘any per- son who shall use in the hearing of other persons in any public place, lewd, lascivious, obscene or profane language, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine of not more than $25 or by imprison- ment in county jail not to exceed thirty days, or both, such fine and imprisonment.’’ A good law and one that should become a nation- alone. It is the proper thing these days for the young men to swagger and swear and they seem to have an_uncontrollable desire to show off their proficiency in public places—on crowded street corners, in restaurants and hotel lobbies and more rarely on street ears. The evil has been a grow- ing one and hardly a day passes that the ears of some decent peo- ple are not offended. It seemss to be a peculiar fact that as the swearing habit is decreasing among the older people, it is on the inerease among the youth of the land. The utterance of profane language in publie ought to be eause for as quick an arrest as is a blow or a stab. We are glad to note that a sentiment is springing up all over the country for the suppression of profanity. It is a habit that public sentiment is sooner or later going to conquer.”’ We endorse the above senti- ment of the Chronicle. Profanity is indulged in by more people than one would at first suppose. Many -prominent, and otherwise good people, utter oaths thoughtlessly and without provocation. There | @ as little excuse for profanity as almost any other sin, and although universally indulged in it is a sin just the same and “God will not hold him guiltless that taketh his same in vain.”’ i -Se What is Reforjn?

Here ds a State svlile citizen recommen ation. Mrs, S. Revis, living at 212 Sey- enth St,, Statesville, N. C., says: ‘I can recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills as a remedy that acts up to its representations. I sent to Hall’s Drug store, and procured them while suffering from pains through thelow- er vart of my hack and frequent headaches which had caused me great distress. Their use improved my condition in every way. Doan’s Kidney Pills proved so satisfactory in my case that I do not hesitate to recommend them to other sufferers.’’ For sale by all dealers.

BAPTIST MEET IN BALTIMORE NEXT Much Interest is Shown by the). Delegates to Great Louisvillel Gathering Over the Project, and $115,000 Is Raised on Floor of the Convention. Louisville, Ky., May 17.—Bal timore was this evening chosen by the Southern Baptists as the place for holding their next an nual convention. The convention will open May 14. Their enthusiasm raised to a high pitch by a notable move ment to the support of the Southern Baptist Theological Semimmary, over 1,000 delegates to the Southern Baptist Conven tion late this afternoon took a lengthy journey to Cave Hill Cemetery, only to have a heavy raio interfere with the unveiling of &@ monument to the late Rev. Dr. T. T. Eaton. Before they left the fioor of the convention hall, over $115, 000 was voluntarily subscribed toward the endowment of the seminary. Here a farmer rose to pledge the fifty dollars trom the sale of a cow or a horse there @ prosperous city dweller contributed ten or twenty times that amount. Dr. Hatcher announced that W. J.

The students of the seminary who attended the session in a body topped off the scene with a & littie surprise of their own, when they announced that that they had gotten together $10, 000 for the endowment fund. ++ Chamberlain’s Litiment. This is a new preparation and a good one. It is especially valua- ble as a cure for chronic 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 cold 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. TO SUE THE EX-SULTAN.

As Abdul was an absolute monarch responsible alone for the admin- istration of the finances, it will call on him to give an account ofthe manner in which he dis. posed of the revenues of the em pire.

Important Notice as to School- Tax Levy. The attention of the people of the county, the county board of education and the county commis- sioners is called to the fact that the counties heretofore receiving aid from the second hundred thousand dollars for a four months school term cannot hereafter re- ceive any part of that state appro- priation unless the county com- missioners, on the first Monday in June, levy a special tax on all tax- able property and _ polls of the county, in addition to the regular school tax, sufficient to raise one- half of the additional amount needed to provide a full-four months term in every school dis- triet; and no county will from the second hundred thousand dollars for more than it raises by this special tax, except the counties that levy the maximum special tax of five cents on the hundred dollars valuation of property and fifteen cents on the poll. The counties levying this maximum special tax will re- eeive from the second hundred thousand dollars all the balance needed fora full four-months term in every district. even though the special tax does not provide one-half the amount needed. The law, as amended by the General Assembly of 1909, re- quires the county board of educa- tion to submit to the county com- missioners on the first Monday in June a carefully itimized state- ment of the expenses of a four- months school in every school dis- trict of the county, and a carefully itimized estimate of the receipts from the regular school tax of eighteen cents on the hundred dollars valuation of property, from fines, forfeitures, penalties, and all other sources, showing the deficit needed to provide a full four- months term in every school dis- trict; and the commissioners are required to levy a sufficient tax on all property and polls of the eounty to provide one-half of this deficit, up to the maximum of five eents on the hundred dollars val- uation of “property and fifteen cents on the poll, the other part of the deficit to be supplied out of the state appropriation known as the second hundred thousand dollars. The new law encourages self- help and economy, and absolutely guarantee a full fourmonths term in every school district, without any sealing, as has been necessary hertofore on account of the excess of the demands over the appropri ation fora four-months school. This guarantees the people of these counties a better school and a longer term than they have ever had before. We are calling atten- tion to the matter now, that the eounty board of education and the board of county commissioners may not overlook it on the first Monday in June. The county that fails to conform to the law and se- eure the state appropriation by levying this small necessary spe- eial tax for better schools and longer terms will hear from the people.

This is a new preparation and a good one. It is especially valua- ble as a cure for chronic and mus- euler 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 cold 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- jary, is allayed by this liniment. Por sale by al druggists. : ——_~++o>—_ Mr. W. B.

He teacheth her to ‘‘hold hands,”’ meaneth naught. He urgeth her to kiss him and showeth her the proper method. He adviseth her not to tell her mother and instructeth her in the white lie.

He giveth her lessons in palmistry and calleth her many quaint ‘‘pet-names.’’ And all this he doeth free of charge!

The Laurensville Herald prints the following letter, signed Thomas M. Workman: About the most useles sthing a man ean have on his place is a storm pit; for when most needed it will be out of reach. If you wish to know that a storm is coming several minutes before it reaches you lis- ten to the thunder. If it. rolls and changes its tones or rumbles with a jolting sound like a wagon jolting over a rock, you may rest easy, for there is no severe storm in the direction of the thunder. But if you hear one long, crashing boo-oo-m trémbling and quivering as the sound gradually dies away without changing its tone, go to your storm-pit, if you intend to use it when needed. For cloud or no cloud, the thunder comes from a storm or cyclone. I am guess ing that there will be a storm. one or more, fiereé enough to blow houses down in Laurens county, sometime between now and the middle of next September. Of course, this is merely a guess, but you will see between now and September whether I had any good reason for the guess. Look for lightning that you can easily see to read by, some night between now and the middle of next Sep- tember, the brightest and most of it, probably, you have ever seen.

After the honeymoon it is safe to affirm that there will come a time when even the most devoted husband—dearly as he loves home and its sweet helpmate—will hun- ger for just one evening now and then with his men friends— a bachelor evening, when tobacco alone is worshipped, and where— perhaps over a game of chess or eards—he can exchange confi- dences with Tom, Dick and Harry. For, although a man won’t con- fesss it, women know full well that hubby is prone to gossip with his male acquaintances. There’s the rub! <A wife will perhaps discov- er, after the honeymoon has waned that Jack is not as ready to let fall from his lips the tittle-tattle of the business day that she as his fiance found so weleome. Instead, the unweleome fact may be made plain that hubby prefers his even- ing paper after dinner, or maybe the latest novel will rivet his at- ‘tention uitil bedtime. This is not infrequently the case MeCall’s Editor.| !y confab with friend Fred his mind will turn more than once to the ‘‘little woman’’ foreseen and indulged his unexpressed wishes in such a ready and cheerful man- ner. It is, after all, such a little to say—and it need be said with cheerfulness and sympathy : ‘‘ Why not look up Fred, dear; he could suggest something so much better than I??? And although it may seem at first sight an experiment that will have doubtful results, rest assured the sensible man will be greateful for this graceful oc- part of his wife, and return later mentally at ease and with a mind that is ready 10 listen eagerly to matters of minor moment. Women would be less intolerant and exacting if they had a cleare- comprehension of men’s lives; vf the snares and pitfalls, the dire temptations, the resposibilities and business worries from which we are happily protected. Men are more grateful for love than women can ever be, and there are a thousand and ‘one little acts of good comradeship that will en- dear a couple to each other when the wife is sensible enough to re- cognize that marriage is a con- tract and an association in which the partners should help each other in loyal kindness and friend- The fiercest fires are the soonest quenched. When the first ¢lamour is over there comes that true-hearted affection more perfect casion on the ship. with the man whose wife very|in its whole-souled devotion than foolishly expects him to forsake. or at least temporarily forget, men whose friendship has been the de- light of a lifetime. And yet this little pitfall is one into which so many wives are apt to fall—not with malicious intention, but from ‘the wrongful impression that the ‘new husband should not need to look farther than his wife for the sweet consolation and help that friendship éan give. At a first glance this impression seems the right one indeed, but the discern- ing woman will not need to be im- pressed with the all-important fact that as love monopolizes her exist- ence, so must business, to a large extent dominate a man’s time. And it is this important fact that makes most men hunger for the ~-easual society of their own sex. The most>-devoted wife, cannot eandidly admit to an undivided attention in the perhaps oft,re- peated items of pure business that a man js apt to talk about. Neither ‘ean she. forever show a lively in- terest in the doings of the partner, the firm, the general manager, or what not. A Woman’s who has her hus- band’s interest at heart will at first try to-show an interest in these intricacies, but later they will fall upon ears that have all unconsciously become indifferent, and later still, to her surprise and pain, she will unwittingly have cut short her husband’s recital to re- late that ‘‘the Jones’s baby has—”’ or “the “Servant has broken your favorite pipe, dear’’—with the re- sult that hubby, if he be not hide- bound, can see very soon that, as he half suspected, his business tittle-tattle must rank second in interest to the doings and sayings of a neighbor’s baby, of whom he hows little and cares less. And in this ihnocent manner. with _heither to blame, does the hus- band become silent and unre- sponsive, and his wife just a little domestic talk. - Perhaps this is an overdrawn picture, yet its very exaggeration will serve to remind the lady who is married that an _ occasional bachelor evening for the ‘‘worser half’’ would serve as admirable outlet for-his flow of business small talk ; that as a matter of fact he would much rather confide to Na ge Yea <r fa asi sO iY oie leachate a tm eR te ey Ppa Sa gene Riess akan rs Ee tk aan NO RRA RS aa ARE OO GS sali es Rang SOB et tin Mig ponte i iat Nog the passion we mistook for love.

May 22—Two pickpockets giving their names as George Lamont and John V. Da- vidson, were arrested last night shortly after 8 o’clock, at the Southern Depot by sergeant Pitts of the local police forge. In the pockets of Lamont $214 in cash was found. two gold watches, and a variety of foreign coins. Davidson was discovered of gentlemen. Lamont is a man pearl handle knives and many dif- ferent size fish hooks. Sergeant Pitts had been watch- ing the two men for some minutes before the arrests were made. He had observed both at different times, walk within the railing be- fore the ticket window, where the erowd was very thick, without purchasing tickets. A second time the men made the trip, and the immediately on his bound trains arrived, both men entered the frain, and before it left, returned to the loby of the depot. While in the station Mess- rs. J. H. Allison and P. T. Camp, of Biacksburg, S. C., told officer Pitts that about $12 had been taken from their pockets, and pointed to the men and said they were the men suspected. It was enough for the officer and the men were immediately taken to the police station. Both men have the appearance of gentlemen. Lamont is am an of about 200 pounds weight. He is clean shaven and wore a dark suit and hat. “Davidson is a much smaller man. He also is clean shaven and wore a light overcoat, black derby hat and dark trous- ers. Neither of the men would talk. When arrested, they went to the station with the officer with out a moment’s hesitation or re- sistance. Neither of them had been drinking nor were there any signs that they had had fights or other troubles during the day. However Davidson at first tried to act the part of a drunk man, but seeing that he was not being taken seriously, Shortly became the natural shrewd alert man that he is. Both are thought to be ex- perts in their line, and their de- meanor helped to convince the officials of their guilt. One of the gold watches taker from Lamont’s pockets had Elgin works and was size No. 18. On one side a locomotive is engraved. The second hand is off and to the gold chain is attached a gold locket and a nickle button. The initials on the locket are ‘‘J. B. D.,, The other watch was size No. 16 with Waltham works. It is open face, and in the back a picture of a woman, was found. The picture shows a woman of abou 20 years of age, at her ¢ pin, and she wears ear rings. To this watch fhe fob is a $5 gold piece. The coin is one of the 1908 make, with the Indian head and ‘‘In God We Trust.’’ Of the money which Davidson had, Mr. Black positively identi- fied a $1 bill which he said he had owned. The finding of fish hooks on the man is only another evi- dence that he is a pickpocket, for with the most successful in the line, such implements are used. —___—2-+ip- The Wilkesboro Patriot says that a call meeting of the Brushy Mountain Fruit Growers’ Associa- tion will probably be held on the Mountain June 3rd, and that Mr. W.

Charlotte, N .C, May 20— Taft came today to Charlotte, the home of the Mecklenburg Decla- ration of Indépendence, signed in May of 1775, and without enter- ing into the discussion as to the wording of these resolutions of liberty, placed himself squarely on the side of those who look back upon this declaration as one of the first significant steps which led ultimately to American inde- pendance. In his address to the people of North Carolina late in the day, the president took occasion to ex- plain more fully than he did at Petersburg on yesterday his poli- icy toward the south. His own recent appointment of a democrat to the federal bench in this state gave him an opportunity to ex- pand upon his views, Mr. Taft urged again the advisability of an intelligent, logical opposition party. ' “I do not believe that’ we are on the point of a political revolu- tion in the south.’’ said the pres- ident, ‘“‘I never have had such a dream. What I do desire and be- lieve we are on the eve of is a complete tolerance of opinion and ‘+ there shall grow into recent and power an intelligent fighting opposition party in each state of the union.”’ : The president’s political utter- ances were received with the same fervor of enthusiasm as his trib- ute to the signature of the Meck- lenburg Declaration. The audi- torium where he spoke was crowd ed to its capacity and he constant ly was interrupted by the cheers that rose spontaneously from his hearers. As to his appointment of a democrat~ upon the bench, the president declared through- out the south he intended to pur- sue the policy he already had in- dicated of appointing to office, on- ly that man, whether democrat or republican, who can command the highest confidence and commend himself to the community in which he lives. Mr. Tatt’s plea for political tol- erance in the south and his state- ment that he wanted the people of the Southland to know that the Washington government was not a govérnment alien to them, had all effect of extemporaneous utterances for the president spoke without notes or manuscripts once he had drifted into polities. A cloud burst breaking over the city during the afternoon just as the splendid military floral and civic parade svar “passing in re- view of the president, promised serious consequences for a time. It set fhe densely packed throng in front of the reviewing stand into panie’and There was a wild rush for shelter. The presidents box was a goal for many men and women and the chief execu- tive had to be surreunded to save him from the sudden crush. In the midst of the storm a passing industrial Hoat became entangled in a live electric wire, and threw it from its support the slender thread of copper sagging almost to the heads of the seampering crowds below. While the eonfus- ion was at its height and to add to the tense situation there was a blinding flash of flame and a loud report not fifty yards from where the president stood. It de- veloped later that a quantity of black powder which was to have been used for saluting purposes had been prematurely ignited.

It came up by the gate, where it gets the drip from the watering trough; that’s what made it grow so strong and handsome. Every year it is just as full of blossoms as the apple trees, and you know what it bears —little red seedy berries, good for nothing at all, so I used to think. But the first spring after I was sick, when I was thinking how pretty it was—all blown out, and the green leaves peeping through the white—it just camé to me that the thorn apple was doing what it was made for ex actly the same as the russet trees and the pippins; and the squir- rels came to eat the seeds in the fall, and ‘how the blue-jays and the winter birds seemed always to find something there for @ breakfast, and I came to love that thorn apple and enjoy it more than anything else. Tt always seemed to have some jesson for me. J call it my preach er, and whenever I look at x think the Lord wants thorn-apple as well as pippins. He sets a good many of His children to feeding birds and squirrels, and doing little things that nobody takes any note of, and I’m thank- ful every day that He lets me grow the blossoms, and feed His birds. Perhaps that is all He may want of you, Ruby, but don’t you be troubled about that. ‘‘Abide in Him,”’ as the branch abideth in the vine, and He’ll see to the fruit. It will be just the kind He wants you to bear—Emily Huntington Miller’s ‘‘Thorn-Ap- ple.”’ —__—_++@>>———— The Acorn And The Pumpkin.. A eountry lad, as he lay one day stretched out upon his back beneath a large oak, observed the runner of a pumpkin with heavy fruit on it. climbing upon a hedge near at hand. He shook his head at this, and said, ‘It is very odd to see such immense fruit on so slender a stem, and these tiny acorns up there on this great oak. I really think it would have been better if these big, yellow pumpking the size of a man’s head, had been made to grow upon the stout tree and those small acorns, not so large as my thumb, upon the ereeping plant.”’ He had seareely done speaking when a good sized acorn fell right upon his nose, and gave him rath- er a sharp rap: | We He jumped up; rubbing the sore place he could not but help saying: ‘‘But if that had been a pumpkin that fell just now it would have been all over with my poor nose.’’ And this was quite so stupid as what he said before. —selected. — Kills Her Foe of 20 Years. ‘“The moss merciless enemy I had for 20 years,’’ declares Mrs. James Duncan, of Haynesville, Me., ‘‘was Dyspepsia.

He learned that his uncle was trying to get him again and he left here going in the direction of Davidson and it is stated that he stripped him- self of nearly all his clothing. He was caught late in the afternoon in a ereek about five miles east of Davidson and his captor locked him in a room upstairs for the night. During the night he got out of the room and either fell ox jumped from the second story and was badly hurt in the back ane hips.

This is a more dangerous dis- ease than is generally presumed. It will be a surprise to many to learn that more deaths result from it than from scarlet fever.

C., May 21.—At his home in a Head township this county, Tuesday night be- tween 10 and 11 o’clock a murder- ous assault was made upon Thomas Farmer with a club and pistol. He had retired and was dozing when in his semi-conscious condition, after vaguely hearing whispers in the room, he was struck with a club, but he was able to jump from the bed and in spite of other blows and a gunshot wound in the abdomen he fled from the house, closely pursued by his assailants, finding refuge at his sister’s home, a few hun- dred yards distant. He was able to recognize his assailants—John Howell, white, 17 years old and Ben erence , colored, 20 years old. Both fied, but were arrested at the home of Ben Farmer’s sister, near Stantonburg, in Wilson county, this morning about four o’clock by the sheriff of this coun- ty. They were both in the same bed when arrested. They con- fessed, implicating Tom Farmer’s wife, stating that she had pro- promised them five hundred dol- lars and a mule and bugey if they would kill Farmer, and that she turned them in the house. [Lowell also stated but tor him the negro would have shot Farmer through a window at his sister’s house, to which he fled, but that he (Howell) stopped him. Mrs. Farmer and the two boys are in jail her at Snow Hill now. Only recently Mrs. Farmer entered into possession of thousand dollars worth of property from her father’s estate. The physr cians state that Farmer has a fighting chance for life. —_++@> o_—_-- —- TO ELIMINATE NEGROES. ——_—- several General Manager Scott, of The Georgia Railroad, Says There is an Organized Movement on Foot Among Railroad Employ- ees. S Atlanta, May 20.—That an or ganized movement to eliminate negroes as industrial factors in railway work in the South, is un- der was the statement made today by Tmomas K. Scott general man- ager of the Georgia Railroad. Last night 50 and 75 white firemen of the Georgia Railroad struck be eause the road refused to dismiss its negro firemen. ‘This strike’’ said Mr. Scott, ‘‘is the first step of a movement which is planned to eventuate in the abolition of the negro as an industrial factor. It is the skir- mish of the Brotherhood of Lo- ecomotice Firemen and Enginemen in its plan to drive the negro out of employment on railroads alto- gether. The plan has been smouldering for five years. This strike on the Georgia Railroad is just the first step. I have reason to believe that the same demand will, in time, be it soon or late, be made by officials of this firemen’s union upon every other railroad in the @outh. —_———_—__2+?-——_—__—— Chamberlain’s Lidiment. This is a new preparation and a good one. It is especially valua- ble as a cure fior chronic 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 iof the muscles, usual- ly brought on by exposure to cold or damp, and are quickly cured by applying this liniment freely and massaging the affected parts.

Committee Decides Upon the Lo- cation and Accepts an Offer of Fifty Acres of Land and Six Thousand Dollars Made by That City. A special dispatch to The Citi zen from Charlotte last night brought the disappointing news that the proposed Pythian orphan- age will not be located here. Ac cording to the dispatch a special -ommittee appointed by the grand lodge to select a site for the or- phanage met at the Selwyn hotel in that city yesterday, and decid- ed to accept the offer made by Durham for the location of the orphanage near that city. There twelve cities in the contest for the institution and Asheville was among them. Various offers in the nature of gifts and bonuses were made but Durham with its offer of fifty acres of land and six thousand dollars in eash for build- ings was the one that appealed to the committee most strongly. Le- noir offered seven thousand dol- lars and was second choice. The Asheville Pythians have la- bored hard to secure the institu- tion for this city, and that they have failed is not due in any way to a lack of effort an enterprise. who made the selection were, George L.

Mass., stating that she had supped a box containing 105 1i- hrary books to be used in estat- lishine rural libraries. The law governing the establish- ment of rural libraries is that the local district raise $10, then the county board of edueation will give $10 and the state $10, mak- ing a $30 library. Miss Brigham desires that these books be given needy districts and maybe counted part of the initial $10 to be raised by the district. For instance if a district can raise only $5 for the ‘stablishment of a library Miss Brigham will furnish $5 worth of books to help make out the neces- Siry 310 and then the county will give $10 and the state $10 making a $30 library. These“books are worth about 30 ‘ents each on an average and therefore will help in the estab- ‘ishiment of Tibraries. It is earn- estly desired that districts which ave no rural libraries will take advantage of this liberal offer and ‘fad in their applications at once. {he applications will be filed in order of receipt.

That this class extend to his} faimly in the hour of their be- reavement its deepest sympathy, assuring them that this their loss is no less than ours, and praying that the God that bore the afflic- tions of the deceased will also bear theirs. 4.

It went forth in search of a home wherein it might receive protection and care. ‘‘’Perhaps,”’ said the little seed to itself, “‘] may one day be a large and beau- tiful plant like that from which I have sprung.”’ It knew by instinct that the earth, in whose bosom the mighty forest trees buried their spread- ing roots, would have no welcome for a seed of mistletoe; that it must seek elsewhere the rest and nourishment it so desired. “*Sure- showers 1D ly there must be room for me in the world!’’ the wandering seed exclaimed. Seeing a stately elm, it thought, ‘‘Here is a tree that must be as generous as he is stately; here shall be my home,’’ But the eha was not generous. He scorned the humble petition of the seed and said there was not a corner a his branches for a beggar. [n vain did the seed plead its great need of help; the elm was as hard as a stone, and cared not at all for the tiny creature’s sorrow. A beech tree near by was even more narrow minded than the elm and fairly drove the seed away with the angry question: ‘‘Why should I afford a resting place to vagrant shrubs of your kind?” and the poor, weary wanderer be gan to think that it would be as well to die at once as to die at the end of a long, fruitless pur- suit. x Ain oak in the forest, to whom the seed next appealed, listened to the sorrowing voice of the wan- derer, and was more merciful than the elm or the beech had been. Satisffed at last, the little seed found rest in the arms of the mighty oak. Before long a del- ieate leaf appeared, and then an other and another, and in time a beautiful shrub grew upon the great_forest tree. When the summer had passed. the winds of autumn came moan- ing through the woods, and the leaves fell in showers. The state ly elm lost its beautiful foilage, the beech stood bare and shiver ing in the blast, and even the hospitable oak saw his splendid drapery of green change and fall. And soon the winter’s ice and snow made the forest desolate. Yet was the oak grand and at- tractive Still.

A seed of the beautiful mistle- toe was separated from its par- ent. It went forth In search of a home wherein it might receive protection and care. ‘’Perhaps,”’ said the little seed to itself, ‘‘I may one day be a large and beau- tiful plant like that from which I have sprung.’’ It knew by instinct that the earth, in whose bosom the mighty forest trees buried their spread- ing roots, would have no welcome for a seed of mistletoe; that it must seek elsewhere the rest and nourishment it so desired. ‘*Sure- ly there must be room for me in the world!’’ the wandering seed exclaimed. Seeing a stately elm, it thought, ‘‘Here is a tree that must be as generous as he is stately; here shall be my home, But the elm was not generous. He scorned the humble petition of the seed and said there was not a corner a his branches for a beggar. In vain did the seed plead its great need of help; the elm was as hard as a stone, and eared not at all for the tiny creature’s sorrow. A beech tree near by was even more narrow minded than the elm and fairly drove the seed away With the angry question: ‘‘ Why should I afford a resting place to vagrant shrubs of your kind?” and the poor, weary wanderer be- gan to think that it would be as well to die at onee as to die at the end of a tong, fruitless pur- suit. i An ‘oak in the forest, to whom the seed next appealed, listened to the sorrowing voice of the wan- derer, and was more merciful than the elm or the beech had been. Satisffed at last, the little seed found rest in the arms of the mighty oak. Before long a del- icate leaf appeared, and then an other and another, and in time a beautiful shrub grew upon the great, forest tree. When the summer had passed. the winds of autumn came moan- ing through the woods, and the leaves fell iu showers. The state- ly elm lost its beautiful foilage, the beech stood bare and shiver- ing in the blast, and even the hospitable oak saw his splendid drapery of green change and fall. And soon the winter’s ice and snow made the forest desolate. Yet was the oak grand and at- tractive’ Still. The mistletoe covered the broad bosom of the tree, and was indeed life in'the midst of death. Strong and ever green, the winter could not rob it of its beauty or its strength. Its waxen berries, riv- along the snow in whiteness, seem- ed to the beech and elm like so many mocking eyes turned upon them. But Yo the venerable oak they were like rare and precious jewels. pe One fine day in winter, the oak made this speech to a merry little group who stood famiring the mistletoe: ‘‘When I received a tiny straying seed and gave it my protection do you suppose that I knew what would follow? If I had stood in the forest destitute of leaves as my fellow trees had would you have gathered around to admire me? “T know that the mistl¢toe, With its white berries, attracted your eyes, yet am I not proud to bear that shrub in my arms and eall it my foster child? Kindness enriches both the giver and the receiver. In my long , long life >? I have learned many lessons, but Pi aii x ata ACh TIE Me Ve fi YN de oP this is the best of all: be kind for the very sake of kindness, and you will have your reward.—Se- lected. ~ Kills Her Foe of 20 Yeais. ‘“‘The most merciless enemy I had for 20 years,’’ declares Mrs. James Duncan, of Haynesville, Me., ‘‘was Dyspepsia. I suffered intensely after eating or drinking and could scarcely sleep. After many remedies several doctors gave me up. I tried Electric Bitters, which cured me completely. Now I can eat anything. I am 70 years old and am overjoyed to get my _ health and strength back again.” For Indigestion, Loss ot Appetite, Kidney Trouble, Lame Back, Fe- male Complaints, its unequaled.

It will be a surprise to many to learn that more deaths result from it than from searlet fever. Pnen- berlain’s Cough Remedy has been used in many epidemics of whoop- ing cough, and always with the best results. Delbert McKeig of Harlan, Iowa, says of it: ‘‘My boy took whooping cough when nine months old. He had it in the winter. I got a bottle of Cham- berlain’s Cough Remedy which proved goed. I eanot reeommend it too highly.’’ For sale by all druggists. ~ KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL. _ i Health is Worth Saving, and Som® Statesville People Know How to Save It. Many Statesvllle people take their lives in their hands by neglecting the kidneys when they know these orgaos need help. Sick kidneys are responsible for a vast amount of suffering and i] health, but there is no need to suifer nor to remain in danger when all diseases and aches and pains due to weak kidneys can be quickly and permanently cured by ithe use of Doan’s KidnePills. Here ds a State svlile citizen recommen a tion. Mrs, S. Revis, living at 212 Sey- enth St,, Statesville, N.C., says: ““‘T can recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills as a remedy that acts up to its representations. I sent to Hall’s Drug store, and procured them while suffering from pains through the low- er part of my hack and frequent headaches which had caused me great distress. Their use improved my condition in every way. Doan’s Kidney Pills proved so satisfactory in my case that I do not hesitate to recommend them to other sufferers.’’ For sale by all dealers.

Regardless of what state or nation may do, however, every inidvidual by following a few simple rules of hygiene for him- self may greatly increase the length and the happines of his own life. Seven such young and old, men and women, would be immeasusibly increased, doctors’ bill reduced, and the rules we give herewith, and if they should be followed this season by the 86,000 farm families who will read these lines, the health and efficiency of general tone of life made notably brighter and happier—to say nothing of fewer graves in the burying-grounds and cemeteries at the end of the year. Here are seven rules: (1) Have a properly planned and properly cooked diet. Make a study of this question and have your wife make a_ study of it. We eat too much meat and too much hot pasty food. We do not eat enongh fruit, vegetables, eggs. butter, and milk. There is no ex- euse tor any farmer not having enough of these nourishing, health giving foods, and with them, one ean set a table fit for a king. (2) Chew yOur food three times as long as you have been doing. The Fletcher principle, ‘“Chew your food till it becomes liquid and practically swallows itself,’ is the only correct guide. Mr. Fletcher guarantees that his meth- od will increase the average man’s efficiency 25 per cent in six months. (3) Don’t overeat. Proper chewing, however, will practically prevent this also. Chew vour food thoroughly and your sense of taste wil lbe satisfied before you eat too much. It is when you bolt your food down that you overeat. (4) Breathe only fresh air. Let it into your sleeping room, no matter how cold the weather. The dread of ‘‘night air’’ is absurd. If fresh air were only to be had for a price, thousands of poor peo- ple would be begging money to buy it, while as it is, they shut it out on every provocation. Stufiy parlors and sitting-rooms and sleeping rooms with all the win dows down breed headaches and develop consumption. ..(5) Drink twice as much water as you have been drinking. The average person drinks _ only half enough. Drink two glasses when you get up mornings, and as much as you ean at other times—prefer- ably not at meals, however. or for an hour before or after. (6) Stop dosing and drugging yourself; never take a patent med- icine. If you are not well, by all means avoid putting your health in the hands of men you know nothing about, and who know nothing abotu your ailment. Nine times out of ten a drug taken into your system when not needed acts as a virtual poison, and unless the physician knows the exact nature of your ailment, the chances are it is not needed. (7) Let al intoxicants alone. No man who begins drinking is sure that he can keep from drink- ing immoderately; while the latest medical researches have proved that even the most mod- erate drinking injuries one’s nervous and mental powe,sr lessons one’s ability to resist dis- eae, and also aids in developing any latent disease or weakness. Surgeon-General Wyman _ in his recent address on Southern health eanditions sounded a special note of warning concerning the inj rious effects of aleoholic drinks in warm climates. ~ Of course there are other things not ~ot be neglected—frequent bathing i na room as warm as the body (a bath-room just big enongh to turn around in, and quickly heated by an oil stove will do the work), eight hour’s sleep, and a good supply of drinking water un- oT ene nee re mer vontaminated by filth or disease—! but these seven rules are the things most needed by the aver- age man. They will add years to your life a dnitoo eryufl emfeg arr your life and life to your years. Try them.—Progressive Farmer. +--+ Forced Into Exile. Wm.

At Petersburg President Taft joked the Saati cen Congressmen present about their attitude on the tariff, declaring: ‘“‘When a Congressman from Alabama favors a $2 tariff on lum- ber for revenue, and a Congress. man from Washington cr Oregon favors a $2 tariff on Inmher for protection, they haven’t any great amount of dispute detween them.’’ It is undoubtedly true that in their present policy, or lack of policy, in regard to the tariff, the Democratic congress have th.» by all odds the greatest oppor- tunity that has come to the party since the other tariff disappoint- ment in 1894. The people of the West, without regard to political alignment, are riotously insistent upon tariff reform, and it is evi- dent now that the Aldrich Repub- licans are not going to give real reform. The Demoerats, leader- less and disorganized, however, are making nothing of the oppor- tunity offered them, but rather have disgusted the West by a pol- icy which if not exactly compara- ble to selling one’s birthright for a mess of pottage means at least they let New England and New York have the full meal pro- vided the South gets the crumbs.

The Fool at One End of the Crowd.’’ I know that a very sensible and patriotic Northerner ean sit and listen to the tales of heroism of the Southerner in the war between the states and feel proud of the deeds that were done by the men of the Sunny South in that con- test. And I know that the sensi- »le men of the South ean do the same thing with respect to the recounting of the glorious deeds of the northern army in the same contest. But, my dear friends, you wil lalways find in a commun- ity some extremists who get as far apart from each other as possible, but they are always willing to go to the same means to confute the seuSfbie men between. You will always find some fool at one end of the crowd saying something that a fool at the other end of the crowd takes as a chal- lenge,and then they try to stir up the middle by some altogether thoughtless scheme that we know sensible men would not pay any attention fo, and therefore what we have got to do among us all is to restrain the fools. We must eliminate as far as possible those people on both sides with whom none of us sympathize, who think it necessary to give themselvec and their mouths an airing by ex- treme statements that the sensible people of neither section sympa- thize with—From Mr. Taft’s Ad- dress at Petersburg, Va., May 19, 1909. What the Farmers Union Really Is The Farms’ Union has approxi- mately 2,400,000 members. The membership stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Its ob- jects are to secure fair prices for the products of the soil, to elimi- nate gambling in natural commo- dities, to develop diversification- and to make each farmer, as far as practicable, the owner of his land. The Union hopes eventually to include the overwhelming major- ity of national agricultural work- ers in its membership. It has grown from 45,000 to 2,400,000 members in five years, an earnest of greatest conquest; of this number a few thousand less than 2,000,000 are Southern farmers. Bona fide farmers and farm workers, rural teachers, preach- ers, and doctors, women and edi- tors signing certain obligations, are eligible to membership. In- dians are also eligible, and in Ok- lahoma have joined in numbers. The Union believes it is fairly entitled to the eredit for uniform- ly high prices for cotton the last five years. It contends that its efforts prevented cotton last year from going even lower. He believes that the logical cul- mination of its campaign means industrial and economic indepen- dence for the South. Members of the Union are, on their own ac- count, operators and owners of newspapers and industrial enter- prises in every state entered by its forces. So quietly has this great organi- zation grown that few Southern- ers are aware of its extreme ma- terial significance. ont ect oe tig te en ag ia Ee ee ha bo il soi is i ls ome it i >a it sth A eh iil ca 2 he Rts Maa po Qa at e r ca ee e THE EVENING MASCOT DAILY EXCEPT SUNDAY.

Why do People Not go to Church? Monroe Journal. The question of why people go to church now less than formerly has been much discussed, but not settled, most investigators, how- ever, winding up with the flat as- sertion that people are less godly than they used to be. This is the conclusion arrived at by a Presby- terian minister who made a ean- vass of 57 blocks in Harlem, New York City, lately, interveiwing 12,000 families and 56,000 persons —a great number of whom profess reileious belief but do not go to chureh. Arranged in denomina- ions, the nonchurchgoers were as follows: Jews 80 per cent.; Pro- testagts, 31” per cent.; Roman Catholics, 12 per cent.; misceel- laneous, 54 per cent. On this basis nearly 50 per cent. of the people of Harlem do not attend chureh. The figures were sufficiently alarming, Dr. Caughey said, to give grave concern to the churches In stating the reasons for non- attendance, the minister said the statistics showed that many were kept away by physical infirmity and thaf a great army was pre- vented from going to chureh be- cause of Sunday employment, par- ticularly street railway men, wait- ers, domestic¢,”“cabmen and echauf- feurs. Many doctors, dentists and real estate men, he said, alleged that it was necessary to attend to business on Sunday. But many many persons gave reasons for not going that appeared very friv- olous, but interesting. Some said that visitors were not weleome or kindly treated at Church, while one woman said that she would not go beeause she did not wish to be bothered by unwelcome greetings. Some said they had no need for a Church; many needed rest while others claimed not to be interested, instrueted or en- hehtened. The sum of the matter is, that since people have always, and wit? always, go where they think they find benefit or interest. they do not go to church simply because they are more intereetsd in some- thing else. And the question for for the churches to consider is whethéFor not it is the church’s fault that so many people are not interested in it. It is no solution to the difficulty to say that peo- ple have simply become too bad to go to church. It is the mission came so elose of the church to save the bad. e1 QPP PDPADOLD) Men’s Peg Top and Regular Cut. All The New = & Fail to Get a § “HIGH ART” SUIT | Shades.

Rev. Thomas A. Morris, aged 89, for sixty Episcopal minister, died at Bilt- more Friday. The Baptist University for Wo- men will be known in the future as Meredith College. The trustees voted to make this change in hon- cr of Rev. Thos. Meredith, who organized the Baptist state con- vention many years ago, and es tablished the Biblical Recorder. The Southern Republican, the new Charlotte Republican weekly newspaper, made its appearance on the streets of that city yester- dty. It is a patent outside paper. The editorials begin with one of the Webb-Smith congressional contest. They declare that it will not be hide-bound Republi- ean. Allan Whippoorwill, the Chero- kee Indian who was shot in a *“near beer’’ saloon in Asheville a week ago, died of pneumonia, due to the bullet passing through his lung, at the Mission hospital Fri- day morning. A verdict of justi- fiable homicide was found by the eoroner’s jury when the inquest was held in the afternoon and Wade Wilson, who was re-arrest- ed after being released on a $500 bond when the Indian’s condition took a turn for the worst, was set at liberty, pending action cf the grand jury. At a meeting held in Raleigh Monday night the commission ap- pointed for the erection of a new municipal building and auditori- um, selected the site and will an- nounce their choice of loaction just as soon as the papers can be perfected. They say it is especi- ally desirable and centrally lo- cated. They will issue $125,000 bonds for the site and buildine. Governor Kitchin honors the re- quisition of the Governor of Geor- gia for John Beasley, who is want- ed in that state for manslaughter and is in jail in Cherokee county. Beasley wil be returned to Georgia at once. Arrangements have been com- pleted and announcement made that the fourth conference of the National Board of the Young Wo- men’s Christian. Association of America will be held at the Nor- mal and Collegiate Institute and Victoria Inn, Asheville. The con- ference will open Saturday even- ing, the 12th, and will close on Sunday evening, June 20, the del- egates leaving on Monday morn- ing, the 21st. As a result of a quarrel over baseball Monday at Burlington, N. C., Edgar Lutterloh, Burling- ton’s second baseman, is suffering from a bullet wound and Banks Bass, a lad about 19 years,of age, is in jail without the privilege of furnishing bond. Lutterloh’s wound is not considered a serious one, though on account of his ina- bility to attend court no hearing has been had. Dr. W.S. Taylor, one of Mount Airy’s most prominent physicians, was carried to St. Leo’s hospital in Greensboro Friday where an operation will be performed. President Geo. C. Faweett of the Chamber of Commerce of Mt. Airy, has named the following committee to attend the States ville railroad meeting to be held May 28th:G. G. Gallaway, J. H. Folger, W. F. Canter, Thos.

Six inches of rain fell in three hours Monday night in a teritory fifteen miles in length, extending South Haven, a few miles south of Wellington, Kan., into Oklahoma. The rain was accom- panied by hail that beat the ggrain into the ground. John W. Beam, a well known lawyer and real estate dealer, who was sought by the police on the charge of murdering Mrs. Estella M. Diltz, a young widow, who was shot and instantly killed at her home in Lima, Ohio, Monday night, attempted to end his own life today. He is in a_ serious condition in a hospital. Immedi- ately following the shooting the police sought Beam. He was found in a barn upon his own premises. Upon being ordered to surrender Beam fired but the shot did not hit any one. Beam ran behind the barn and turned the revolver upon himself. Dr. Charles C. Hughes of New York, one of the oldest and best known Baptist ministers in New York, and father of Governor Charles E. Hughes, of that state, delivered the annual baccalaure- ate address of Virginia Institute, in the presence of a crowd that packed the auditorium Sunday morning. His address was a very strong one, and full of experiences in his own career of seventy years. Dr. Hughes spoke for over an hour and gave an abundance of good advice to the sweet girl graduates, just going out into the world, and told them that their only aim in life was not just to get married, but to make the right kin dof women and lay the foun- dation in their homes for future generations. He spoke of the fact that women control the des tiny of the world as much as men, even if they do not vote. A proclamation was_ issued Monday by President Taft pro- viding for the opening up to set- tlement and entry of about 440,000 acres of land in the flat-head Montana: 200,000 in the Coer D’Alene, Idaho, and between 50,- 900 and 100,000 in the Spokane, Washington, reservation. from age “*Good Manners.’’ That ** good illusive quality called stands fora thousand little details which to are known instinctively, while others have to learn them through many mortifying experi- ences, if not particularly obser- vant. There are people who al- ways have “good manners;”’ others have bad manners with- out being really ill-bred, while there is still another class who would like to ‘‘act right,’’ if they only knew how, yet can not learn sucessfully by reading the rules of etiquette from ‘the printed page. Of this later class, a writ- er in an exchange says: It is very important to know whom to select as a model, if one attempts to learn by observation. Many are unable to discriminate, and sometimes make the mistake of following the lead of persons so conscious of riches or of dress that they seem to carry off any situa- tion ina high-handed manner easily mistaken by the uninitiated for the regal way of the well-born. To appear to be well-bred, to know what and how to ignore, to be always at ease—this is is to have good manners. To read the dictionary of etiquette, one would get the idea that it was all a very complicated matter, and would require years to master it, yet the whole subject of good breeding may be expressed in a single sen- tence—never be conspicuous. A really kind hearted, sympathetic person can hardly be _ ill-bred, though he or she may not always know just what rule is being in- fringed by a little inattention on their part.

Watts, of Sardis, Dallas, county, Alabama, came in last Friday to visit his brother, Mr. Erastus F. Watts, who Lives about 4 miles west of Statesville, Mr. Watts came to Charlotte for the 20th of May celebration and came on up to Statesville and will spend the summer with is brother and other relatives in this county. Mr. Watts left Iredell county in the-year 1854. In the spring of that year he graduated at Da- vidson college and went to Ala- bana where he taught till the fall of 1860 when he went to Arkansas where he taught one year. He enlisted in the service of the Con- federate army and served through that famous struggle when he lo- cated in Okalona, Mississippi in 1868, where hé married in 1872. Mr. Watts was engaged in teach- ing and afterward he moved to Alabama, where he continued in the school work until a few years ago. 7 Mr. Watts has ben in on a visit but once before since he left in 1854, about 20 years ago. It is interesting to hear Mr. Watts re- cite the great improvements that have taken place in Statesville and Iredell county in the last 20 years. Most of the business sec- tion of Statésville is entirely new to him. As compared with Ala- bama this county is making the greater progress, especially in farming and the use of improved machinery~ i Mr. Watts attended the com- mencement at. Davidson college this week for the first time since he graduated there in the year 1854. There was not a single person liv- ing there that lived there in the year 185€ and he saw but one per- son at the commencement whom he knew and that was ‘‘Bunk’’ Alexander of Charlotte of the class of *52. There are only two other living graduates of David- son college of the class of ’54 and one of them is Frot. J. H. Hill, of Statesville. The other is Dr. Wm. Hall, of Columbia, S. C. Mr. John S. an@_E. F. Watts are the only members of the family now living, a brother, W. P. Watts having died in Alabama about 5 years ago. Mr. Watts is accompanied by his daughter, Mrs. Stanfill, who will spend sevral weeks here be- fore returning. 1 ED The Musical Monday Night. - We quote the following from the Milan (Tennessee) Exchange concerning the Misses Burrow who will be at the court house Monday night under the auspices of there. ¥.

The violin under the skillful fingers of Miss Shellye. the elder sister was the kine of instruments, and solo work by Miss Nelle the younger sister es a marvelous exhibition in technie time and expression.

The rivers and smaller streams are swollen to such an extent that in places the bridges cannot be seen. The Yadkin river rose to such height yesterday that the power house of the Fries Manufacturing and Power Company had to be closed and the workmen had to use boats in order to get to the shore. Crops were practically ruined along the river bottoms and the farmers will have to replant.

HVENING MAS¢OoT. [ M. L. MOTT ASSAILED. Governor Haskell Brings Charges Against Him in ConnectionWith the Land Frauds in Oklahoma. Marshall L. Mott, who at one time lived in Statesville has been attacked by Governor Haskell of Oklahoma. The Raleigh News and Observer has this to say of the charges against Mott: _Marshall L. Mott, formerly of North Carolina, who is the attor- ney for the Creek Indians in Ok- lahoma and special attorney for the government in the eases against Governor Haskell of Okla- homa and other defendants grow- ing out of the charges of alleged frauds and conspiracies touching town lots in Muskogee, is being assailed before the department of justice. His aceuser~is Governor Haskell, who has preferred before the government here charges against him and the other prose- eutors in the cases mentioned. The Oklahoma executive demands the withdrawal of Mr. Mott and his associate counsel from the cases, and assigns as his reason therefor that they have ‘“‘combined and confederated together to se- cure unlawfully and by improper means’’ indictments against him. With the petition to support the charges are a number of exhibits. It is charged that the ‘‘attorneys and agents have attempted to pre- judice and intimidate witnesses examined by them’’ during the sitting of the grand jury, and that they have inspired publications in the newspapers, and have even hired press agents to prepare ar- ticles which the governor insists were written with a view of in- fiuencing the grand (firr,¢ mmm sesssion, timin gthe publications to appear just at the time when they would be most influential for the purpose. Among the exhibits are certain notes and manuscripts, which it is alleged were written out of the press by ‘‘Marsh’’ Mott; also a letter purporting to have been written by Mott to State Chair- of the Republican committee, last October, in which } Norris was urged to procure the publication, through a press asso- cieation, of a ‘‘scurrilous, false and vicious article’’ attacking Haskell. The governor avers that Norris the letter relating to “the White properly influencing a press asso- cication to distribute the matter attacking Haskell. The governor charges that after Mott had failed to secure the pub- lication of the articles through Norris he personally brought about their publication in an Ok- Among the exhibits forwarded by the govern- or to the Attorney General were numerous affidavits from wit- nesses before the grand jury, in tended'to show that they were in- timidated into making affidavits in the case against Governor Haskell by threats of prosecution if they refused made by Federal agents. The most sensational features in the governor’s charges and ex- hibits are those in which he at- tempts to show that there was an organized conspiracy to indict and convict him, and to accomplish it by such unusual methods as pub- licity and the intimidation of wit- nesses, and his charge that the wholé thing was caried on with the sanction of President Roose- velt, who was then in the White House.

Editor of The Mascot: The closing exercises of Scotts State High school were held on last Monday, having been post- poned from the previous Friday on account of the prevailing bad weather. Sera ee This is one of several high schools established and supported by a special local tax in part and and by state aid. The faculty of the school is a very efficient one, eonsisting of Prof. John M. Watt, Prof. Lester F. Ervin and Mr. G. P. Brown, all being compara- tively young men, but very excel- lent teachers. Rev. J. Meek White, pastor ot New Sterling churcéh, opened the exercises with prayer. State Senator Zeb V. Long, of Statesville, delivered the address. The senator has a wide reputation 28 a witty, wise and entertaining orator and suffice it to say that the speech was a splendid one. The Hiddenite Junior Band furnished the music for the occa- sion and did well considering the youthfulness of some of the mem- bers, The average atendance at this school during the recent session was about 75, the pupils ranging from 6 to 20 years of age, and they came from a radius of about 10 miles of Scotts. They are bright, healthy boys and girls, and some of them will doubtless be heard of when they reach a more mature age. The exercises during the day and evening consisted of speeches, dialogues, ete., all very good, some excellent. Naturally some students will excell others in their studies, and especially when they appear on the stage on the closing day of the school. But boys and girls develop rapidly; the dull student this term may, prove to be the brightest student next term. Ali in all the people of this section have case to be proud of the school at Scotts and those in charge of the school can congrat- ulate themselves when they con- sider that the patrons of the school weré broad enough and lib- refused to lend himself to the}eral enough to establish and sup- publicity plan, and he directs the attention of Attorney General Wickersham to certain things in port such an institution. - YESMAEH Scotts, N.

The big trees of California, says the Boston Globe are the oldest living things in the world. Esti- mates made from cross sections of Some of those which have fallen show that the mature trees are more than 4,000 years old. There .| are trees still flourishing vigorous- ly in the Calaveras grove which were pretty well grown at a time which antedates the Pyramids of Egype. They were centuries old When Rome was founded, and when Columbus started on his Voyage ot discovery they were hoary with age. Compared with these giant Se- quoias every other living thing in the world is a creature of today, and there are only a few evidences of man’s khandywork still in exist- ence—some ot the ruins of ancient Greece and Assyria—that were constructed at an earlier date. In one portion of the grove there are ten trees, each of which has a diameter of more than 25 feet, and more than seventy with a diameter of from 15 to 25 feet. The bark is from six inches to two feet in thickness, and the trees are so hardy that forest fires produce almost no effect on them. almost indestructible except by man, and if saved from the ravages of the lumberman there is no reason to doubt that they will live for many centuries to come. : But the necessity for such pro- tection is revealed in the state- ment that each of these big trees ontain as much lumber as is or- dinarily grown on 14 or 20 acres land.

The friends of the men interfered and Tweed and Franklin were sep- arated, the damage, if any done at this time is not stated. After Tweed and Franklin were separat- ed, Arthur was taken up stairs by his cousin, Andy Franklin, Jr., while Tweed left the store and it is alleged secured a shot gun and took up a position in the road in front of the store building.

Andy Franklin went down stairs and walking out into the road asked who it was that had fired the shot. It is alleged that Robert Tweed replied with an oath, “*T-did it,” at the time raising the weapon and firing point blank at Andy Franklin.

The Hickory Democrat says that information is received in Hickory that a very large and ex- tensive cotton mill, the largest in the world, it is said will be the lihed in Hiekory just as soon as the proposed hydro-electric de velopment on the Catawba river here is assured. It seems that New England cotton mill men are . initiative in the mat- ter. Whether or not they will remove factories from there here or establish a new factory is not yét stated. But most probably a factory out and out. A factory of such proportions should by all means be a new one. In either event it would not be necessary or even possible with only the 9000 of primary horse power that can be developed to be transmitted to any other place than Hickory, for that would re- quire all the current to be had to be utilized in Hickory. Such a mill would employ from 5,000 to 6,000 hands and its effects taking the on the prosperity of Hickory can j be imagined. at Radford, Va., and also connect with other trunk lines and pene- trate the coal fields of West Vir- ginia. A determined effort- is being made to organize a construction company to begin work on the road. Subscription papers were circulated today for that purpose and several thousand dollars were subscribed mostly by’ Statesville citizens. It is estimated that if $40,000 can be secured in sub- scriptions the company ean be or- ganized and upon payment of 20 per cent of this amount work will besiti™upon the road. It is esti- mated that $6000 per mile must be secured by townships in bonds, etc., before a construction com- pany will undertake the work. Mr. D-M. Ausley says the hard- est thing in building a new rail- road is getting it started and the first 10 miles built. ~ At this afternoon’s meeting it was agreed that Iredell and Yad- kin counties should proceed with the road as far as Booneville and when the road reaches that point there will be no trouble in making arrangements to continue the road further north. Certain townships in Yadkin county that voted for the issuance of bonds a couple of years ago on estain conditions are going to ask for the privilege of voting for bonds _again under the same conditions in which those in Iredell were voted. It is rea- sonably expected that as many as 150 conviets ean be secured fron the state for work on this road.

Atlanta Journal. Luther Burbank, the wizard of the world of vegetation, is a pe culiar man and he has kept him- self out of the limelight as much as possible. But he has finally “oconsented to give the outside world a view of what he has been doing and according to a dispatch to the New York World from Santa Ro- sa, he will place his marvelous fruits and flowers on exhibition in a hall in that place in the near future. Among the new varieties he has produced are the primus berry, a union of the raspberry and the black berry; the first recorded instance of a new species, the phe- nomenal berry, a combination of the California dewberry and the Cuthbert raspberry a walnut bred with no tannin in its meat; glad- ioli of greatly enhanced beauty taught to bloom around their en- tire stem like a hyacinth instead of the old way, on one side; a dahlia with its disagreeable odor driven out and its place the odor of a marigold; a lily with a fra- grance of a violet an da scentless verbena given the intensified fra- grance of the trailing arbutus. He will show fruit trees which will withstand freezing in bud and flowers; an amarylis bred from three or four inches to near- ly a foot in diameter; gumberry which is almost like a fat, lusci- ous blueberry which can be grown in all climates; blackberries with- out thorns; an everlasting flower which may be used for decoration of women’s hats; improved varia ties of thousands of grasses and improved flowering tobacco. Burbank has changed the chest- nut in marked < degree. Originally ‘t bore nuts in ten to twenty-five years. He made it bear nuts six months after planting the seed. In the ireation of big trees Bur- bank has achieved wonders. Here is an instance. A common Cali- ‘fornia black walnut and English walnut was crossed by fertiliza- tion and seedling raised from these The best of the progency were se- lected and bred forward, always selecting those which approached nearest to Burbank’s idea, until at last he had a set of hybrid, rap- id-growing seedlings. Half a dozen trees were set out in the hard earth at the curb in front of the Burbank place, were given no cultivation and no irriga tion. In seventeen years these trees stood more than eight feet in height, their branches spread being fully seventy-five feet, their trunks being six feet at the height of a man’s head, the wood of the fine grain, taking a splendid pol- ish and with a big commercial val- ue for furniture. Burbank has estimated that a single kernel of grain added to each sheaf of wheat grown would be sufficient to support the navy of a civilized country. It is wel} known that he has done more than this; he has in most of his pro- ducts generally doubled their pro- auction. In this connection what makes his cactus immensely valua ble to the stockmen is that it cap be grown, and need not be used for fodder for two or three years and when cut is just as good as ever a Truckers tell us that this has been the greatest cabbage season they ever saw. It is also a fine season for Irish potatoes. Some families are already having fine potatoes, and Catawba people have been having cabbage since Easter. —Newton Enterprise - aaa Sheek SARL se aS ne ee = aT SO nt ee Gale a, pape TPS eer ra SETS OS TR lI WHITE Tan eS x SFE ee ME EE Ne ee eee pene SSE ee Be ee ee eee, ewe eae LI ee ee THE EVENING MASCOT DAILY EXCEPT SUNDAY.

C., May 28— For North Carolina partly cloudy tonightt and Saturday. —__——_2 << »__— The project of building an elec- tric car line from Salisbury to Faith reminds us of the fact that electricity is the coming power and will eventually supplant steam to such an extent that these two motor powers will reverse the influence of usefulness to man. electricity becoming the motor power of the country. Our un- limited water power when har- nessed up wil be able to run elec- tric car ‘lines between all towns and villages and as a result trav- eling rates will be much lower than ever before. With the Yadkin on one side and the Catawba on the other we will be in a position to reap full advantage of the use of this new power that is already be- ing felt in our industrial life. or The day of poverty is nearly here. The man who boasts of his wealth and who has such a rich daddy will soon be as poor as Job’s turkey. The cause of this annual shrinkage in the value of property is that the tax lister is about to begin his round and the property that the real estate man said was worth $1,000 yesterday will be worth only $300 next week. The way to correct this evil is to have all property assessed by a board of assessors who are sworn to assess every kind of property both real and peronal, at its true value. It is just as fair for us to leave the valuation of our proper- ty in the hands of a jury as it is to leave our différences in law to the eourts. ———_~++@ e—— —- Forced Into Exile. Wm.

In a small village by the sea where the great waves came rush- ing shoreward to break upon the cliffs, nature had carved high on a prominent point a beautiful face. There in the eternal rock the fea- tures were plainly to be traced in their beauty, outlined against the sky. And there was a tradition that some time a great benefactor was to come to the people who would resemble that wonderful face carved in the rock before them. A boy living there knew the legend well, and watched dai- ly to catch the first glimpse of the coming man. Every new face that came to the village was eag- erly scanned to see if it were not the one prophesied. Years went by and he did not appear; and still the boy grew to be a man and still he looked upward to tbe sky and wondered if, after all, they would realize the promise. He grew to be on old man, and still he looked until one day, as the people had gathered togethen ‘it appeared all at once that the man himself, who from boyhood bad been studying the face, was the one who resembled it. He himself who had” watched it so long, was the fulfillment of the prophecy; for while he had con- tmeplated it, he had grown into its likeness. Carved in the eternal rock of truth is a beautiful face. We study it, we contemplate it—not for a day nor a year, but for life time, and lo! it appears that we ourselves have grown into its like- ness.—Clarenece Edgar Rice. — 4+ All over the south there are splendid opportunities for the profitable use of the pea for the feeding of stock and the improve- ment of the soil, and with cow- peas and crimson clover any sandy land in the south can be brought up to the production of two bales of cotton per acre while making a profit in the feeding of live stock. Even if the crop is not saved as hay, the land will receive creat benefit, and the farmer like- wise, if the live stock are only hogs feeding on the peas and en- riching the soil, while making profit in the bacon produced and eured on the place. I have lost none of my enthusi- asm for the pea, for the longer I live the more I am convinced that this ‘‘clover of the South’ has a still greater future before it for the southern farmer.

Denver, Colo., May 27 —Clergy- | Maen and laymen should not use to- bacco, but it is not contrary to the principles of f the Church for Pres- byterian judges to grant saloon licefises. This was decided by the General “Assembly of the Presby- |+erian Church today. The Assembly thus expressed itself in approving the report of the temperance committee after a long discussion. The report ecom- mended President Taft, Emperor William and~ former President Eliot. of Harvard, for being tecto- tallers and urged the ministers to the Church to petition congress to stop intérstate - shipments of li- «uors. to discontinue the issuance of internal revenue receipts in pro- hibition territory and to prohibit the use of the mails for the distri- bution of advertisements of liquor. Rev. Elis Worth Rich. of Wat- sonville, Cal., introduced a resolu- tion, declaring that ministers should not use tobaceo. A layman arose and declared Mr. Rich should include laymen. This was done and the resolution was adopt- ed amid cheering. A commisssioner then urged the adoption of a resolution that Pres- hyterian judges should refuse to srant licenses for saloons, even though it be their duty under the law.

Mrs. Stone was born Ward and was married to Mr. J. A. Stone October 14, 1874. Her husband died December 24, 1893. One litle daughter, Flora Ward, died in 1882. Mrs. Stone joined the Presbyterian church in early girlhood and after her mar- riage, j] oined the M. E. church with her husband. She lived a consistent member until her death. She leaves four daughters to mourn her untimely death, these daughters are, Mrs. E. O. Shaver. of Cool Spring; Mrs. W. C. Hart- ness of Coneord; Mrs. J. R.

Tt is a wellknown-known fact that the section harrow is a great implement for preparing the seed bed, but not all of the farmers know its value for eltivating while the crops are small. If it were More generally used we should find more corn, better corn, and cheaper corn, than we do now. I nearly always count on giving three cultivations with this tool, and at the time that the young plants need it so very much. Tn the first place, I plant on a firm, but not hard seed bed. By this I mean that I break early enough to allow rain to settle the land before planting. I then use a disc harrow, or cultivator to get a pulverized surface. Then for the harrow. Just as soon as [ am through planting and get a shower on the ground, I go di- tectly across with my harrow. This breaks the crust and gives the plants a chance to come through. About one week later, just as the corn is peeping through I harrow across again. This kills young grass and weeds and gives the youny vlant a thorough culti- vation Ther when the corn is two or three inches high, I give the last cultivation with my har- row. The corn is in good shape and ready for my cultivators. Now, some one may think that uzrrowing across the young plants would pull them out of the ground but I offly say, ‘‘Try it, and you will see that you have not hurt your corn, but instead have biven it a good, thorough cultivation.’’ I think that you will agree with me-whén I say that this is the very time that rapid cultivation is needed for starting the young vrop and killing young grass and weeds, and when you try it you will see that it is as cheap and as rapid a cultivation as you can give. One man and team will harrow for fifteen to twenty acres per day. Now compare that with bthe old way of waiting until your corn is needing work and you would like to reach it all in one day. How any one can get along on a farm without a section, harrow, I can’t see Farmer in Progres- - sive Farmer. —— ere PO -Graaemem From New Hope. Mr. and Mrs. 8. C.

When he took charge of the Forest Ave. church about three years ago it had a membership of only about 75 while now the membership is about 290. Mr. Maddry is a young man and a strong preacher. He is a native of Orange county and a graduate of the State University and of the Southern Theological sem- inary at Louisville, Ky.

It was my| pleasure on Friday, May the 28th, | to be with the good people of the! Cool Spring country, and witness | the closing exercises Spring Academy. A large crowd was present, and as always on such occasions, everybodyy seemed to have left every care at home, and) was supremely happy. Promptly at 10 o’clock, the principal, Prof. D. C. Doggett, with the school as sembled on the stage, announced the invocatioa which was led by Rev. V. M. Swaim, of Cool Spring, Then foi!ewed songs by the school, instrumental music py a_ local string band, exd the usual pro- gram of speeches, recitations and dialogues, all of which were interesting and entertaining. The| entire program was well render- ed, attesting the patient care of in preparing for commencement day. At 11 o’clock the principal introduced the speaker of the day, Rev. Thos. A. Smoot, of Wilmington, and a mem- ber of the North Carolina confer- ence, who delivered a very fine address on the importance of cor- rect education. The address was very practical and-was one of the very best the writer ever heard on an oceasion of the sort, and was very highly spoken of by many persons. Mr. Smoot was raised near Cool Spring and went to school there to his father, when a boy. Many people remember him as a bright boy and are pleased to know that he is making a success of life Atter the noon recess, the au- dience was treated to a number|t of colic songs and dialogues, some of which were new. At the close of the exercises for the after- noon, the evening exercises were announced and the audience dis missed. The writer did not re- main for the evening and cannot say what was done at night, ex- cept that the principal promised to have something funny. Cool Spring is an ideal place for a school and it deserves to suc- ceed. The school has been run- ning now something like ten years and many boys and girls have heen trained there who are mak- ing good in life. Many of the public school teachers of the coun- ty for the past few years received their preparation here, and the principal announced that the school would open again in August for another year. The school is somewhat handicapped, however, by not having the support of a lo- eal tax. It is entirely dependent upon tuition for support. The writer hopes that the school may have many more prosperous years, and that the people in the com- munity will soon see the import- vicé, a call-was extended Rev. port the school. E. S.

Brownwood, Tex., May 30—A little village of Zephyr, in the eastern portion of Brown county at 1 o’clock Sunday morning and left a path of death and destrue- tion seldom paralleled. The death list has reached a total of 32 and the number of seriously and fa- tally wounded will reach 50. A score are more or less injured. The storm formed half a mile southwest of Zephyr and swept down. tpon the village, eutting af wide swath directly through the | residence and business district. Nearly 50 houses were entirely demolished. Lightning struck a lumber yard and sfarted a confia- gration which destroyed one busi- ness block. No effort was made to fight the fire as the care of the dead and wounded victims demanded all at- tention. A section hand rode a hand ear to Brownwood and _= spread the alarm. In two hours the Santa Fe Railroad was speeding a special train to the scene of the storm with nine surgeons and a score o” Lrownwood physicians. Hundreds of persons directly in the storm’s path saved them- selves by taking refuge in storm wellars. More than a dozen bodies were horribly mutilated.. County Clerk Thad Cabler, his wife and two children, who had gone to Zephyr to spend the night were killed. Lhe big stone school building and two churches were swept from the tuce of the earth. By daylight ? surgeons were working on the wounded. Brownwood hurried her second relief train at noon today loaded with provisions, clothing and nec essary articles and forty nurses. Tonight three persons are still / unaccounted for. Two children were found dead late this after- noon, two miles out fronr the town having been blown that distance. A. special train will leave Ze- phyr tonight for Temple carrying the more seriously injured to the hospital. _ 2+ DEATH OF AN AGED LADY. Hampton Succumbs to the Infirmities of Age.

Terms Agreed to by Firemen And Georgia Railroad YeSter- day—Federal Interference Was Threatened and Agreement Was Hastened. Atlanta, Ga, May 29—The strike of the firemen on the Geor- gia aRilroad was officially declar- ed off at 2 P. M. today. An hour and a half later the first train aiter the resumption of service Was sent out of Augusta with a negro fireman in the cab. The terms of the settlement were not officially given out but it was learned that they are sub- stantially as follows: The men to return to work under conditions existing at the time the strike be- gan, until final adjustment is made All negro firemen at the terminal stations will be dispensed with. All discharged Brotherhood fire- men will be reinstated. Three other points are yet to be decided as follows: First, Wheth er negro firemen shall be eliminat- ed from the road. Second, If not eliminated, what percentage of ne- groes there shall be. And senior- ity of negro men over white fire- men, ° These other questions are to be discussed tonight and if they are not adjusted they will be settled by arbitration under the Erdman Act. The exact terms of the settle- ment have not been disclosed but the statement is made that the conditions are eminently half sat- isfactory to both sides. The settlement of the strike was announced in a statement signed by Martin A. Knapp, chairman of the Inter-State Commerce Com- mission and Charles P. Neill, U. S. Labor Commissioner. It said: ‘‘An amicable adjustment of the differences between the Georgia Railroad and its employes who have been on strike, has been reached on a basis eminently sat- isfactory to both sides. The strike has been calfed off and complete train service is to be resumed im- mediately.’ ~ This stateent was the result of a conference between Chairman Knapp, Commissioner Neill, Gen- gia Railroad; Vice President Ball, of the Firemen’s organization. The conference lasted from 11 a. m. until 2 p. m., and every point of issue befween the railroad and its employes was carefully dis- cussed. Commissioner Neill said that both sides made concessions. He added further that he did not be- lieve a complete statement would be made before next week. It is generally understood that the railroad agrees fo recognize the seniority of white firemen and that the employment of certain negro firemen who have been with the road many years will be con- tinued. After they are retired no other blacks will be permitted to fire. Had there not been a settlement of the strike this afternoon it can be stated that Federal interference was imminent. It is reported that both sides were notified that some adjustment must be reached by 6 o’clock today or the Federal court would take cognizance of the sit- uation. This probably would have meant injunctions which in the present temper of the resi- dents of the strike districts cer- tainly meant resistanee, injunc tion and speedily thereafter the arrival of United State troops The strike commenced May 17 and lasted 13 days.

The Christian Sun, of last week treads the dangerous path and dis- cuses the manners of women to- wards women and declares that in a railway car not one woman in forty will move an inch to accom- moderate another woman. The Sun gives an illustration by tell- ing of a lady who entered a crowded car, and had to stand up for an hour while a dozen seats were occupied by one woman only, who sat quietly without of- fering their sister a seat. The men did not care to offer a seat when the other seats were occu- pied by only one woman. The above condition has been observed by us often. The most uncharitable creature is a woman when another woman is the ob- ject. In fact some times we are forced to conclude that the con- stant difference that is shown to her by man has resulted in the eultivation of a spirit of intoler- ence, which manifests itself when this difference is lacking or over- looked. How sweet it would look in a woman who is served and respected, and to whom all deference is shown if she weuld show the same spirit toward those of her sex who are not in a posi- tion fo command this respect. We have seen many poorly clad wo- public places, often crowded, and too timid to search for a seat or ask a woman if she could share her seat with her, stood while the other women stared at her as if she were an escaped animal. If some woman had extended to this humble sister a courtesy that she would have appreciated at the hand of a man if she had gone into a place crowd- ed by men, then she would have, in this way, shown her apprecia- tion of the courtesies shown her by extending them to the less for- tunate woman. No need to preach to men about their lack of courtesy when the women themselves refuse to ex- tend courtesy and show t heir manners when they have an op- portunity. Ta this connection we want to say again what we have said be- fore that the railroads should make it the duty of the train offi- cials to seat passengers. All other pnblic places, theatres, churches. ete., have those whose duty is to do this. honored, men enter If this was done, a wo- man would not hesitate to sit down by a strange man, or a man by a woman. In “this way many who are compelled to stand in a erowd- ed car could get seats. The con- ductor ean ask a woman to move her baggage from the seat beside ber, but a man does not like to do this, and the man who is oceupy- ing one whole seat and has his baggage spread out on another ean bemade to take less space. Any customer who buys a ticket is entitled to a seat, and the con- ductor should be the man to see that a Seat is found. ee a ea Forced Into Exile. Wm.

The telephone girl sits in her chair and listens to voices from everywhere. She hears all the gossip, she hears all the news, she konws who is happy and who has blues, she knows all our joys, she knows every girl who is chasing the boys; she knows of our troubles, she knows of our strife; she knows every man who talks means to his wife; she every time we are out with ‘‘the boy,”’ she hears the excuses each fellow em- ployes; she knows every woman who has a dark past; she knows every man who is inclined to be ‘‘fast;’’ in fact, there’s a secret beneath each saucy eurl of that quiet, demure-looking telephone girl. If the telephone girl told all that she knows it would turn half our friends into bitterest foes; she could sow a small wind that would soon be a gale, engulf us in trouble and land us in jail; she could let go a story which, gain- ing in force, would cause half our wives to sue for divoree; she eould get all our churches mixed up ina fight and turn all our days into sorrowing night; in fact, she could keep the whole town in a stew if she’ll tell a tenth part of the things that she knew. = Oh, brother, now does’t it make your head whirl when you think what you owe to the telephone girl? 0 pee | Chamberlain’s Litiment. This is a new preparation and a good one. It is especially valua- bte as a cure 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 cold or damp, and are quickly cured by applying this liniment freely and massaging the affected parts.
