The Sermon on the Mount Is a inngiiificent temple of truth the portico to which is an eight-col umned arcade. Let us examine these stupendous pillars. The first thing that arrests our at tention is their unique and unpar alleled construction. Thev are the promulgated with thunder and light ning, amid thick darkness with trumpet sound; this was a human voice of divinest music in the calm of the dawn. That startled with de vouring fire and wreathing smoke, this moved the heart with gentle words of peace. Surely the Mount of Beautitudes is a great advance upon Sinai, though one supplements the other. KEPT GlTTfXG THE THRT OFF. THE DR.V.0. THOMPSON DRUG STORE, Winston, N. C. I i And Tonthful Ingenuity Remanded a New Supply. ; The members of the family were camping out south of town for the day and little Georgie had been as- j signed the work of peeling the pota- direct opposites of the popular con- I toes for dinner. After laboring for ception of what constitutes blessed- \ half an hour he hunted up his Anything you want in DRUGS AND MEDICINES, ness. The world says, “Blessed are the rich, blessed are the powerful, blessed are the piroud,blessed are the beautiful, blessed are those who have everything their own way.” But these giant columns read, Blessed are the poor in spirit, blessed are they that mourn, blessed are the meek, blessed are the hungry for righteousness, blessed are the mer ciful. blessed are the pure, blessed are the peacemakers, blessed are the persecuted. This is altogether a new voice on the earth, and they sounded .lust as j strangely in Jewish and Roman cir cles when they were enuuciated as they do to-day. What a contrast they present to our modern hero worship and ouv glorification of "muscular Christianity!” Things are topsyturvy in the moral world when physical courage and brute force elicits admiration at the ex pense of milder virtue. A dog has boldness, a cock can crow, a pea cock can strut, a tiger can fight, and many qualities of martial prowess such as the unthinking admire are the marks of low grade. On the con trary these beautitudes, like the flashing facets of a diamond, are the characteristics of- a religious gentleman. It. must not. be overlooked that this portico is interconnected. It is not eight separate and distinct pil lars; it is an eight-fold structure, no part of which can be eliminated, all of which is necessary to make up the structure. On the fourth hinges the three preceding, and the follow ing are logical sequences of all that have gone before. The spirit of the first note of this octave runs through the whole, culminating in the last. Or to change the figure yet again, we are enthroned in humility, and diademed in persecution. These beattitudes ought to cheer every poor man’s heart and sanctify every rich man's palace. For there are proud poor men and humble rich men. It is possible to be proud even of our humility and make a god of our lowliness. We are not to make Uriah Heeps of ourselves, stooping and cringing and apologiz ing for existence, making a show of humility. Diogenes jumped upon Plato’s bed saying, "Thus I stamp on Plato’s pride,” but he did it with still greater pride. True humility is a beautiful trait, it is the first pillar in the portico. The same is true of those that mourn, who are not ashamed of tears, and who do not brazenly go through life confessing no fault. If to err is human, it is certainly manly to repent. The tears that fall from eyes of sincere mourners, like sum mer showers, fertilize the soil of the heart so that it blooms and blossoms in flowers. There are some who think the ele ment of meekness is only another name for weakness. But the meek are the lords of the earth. Real do minion is only given to the meek. Meekness delivers from supersensi tiveness. Youwill not be thin-skinned, enough to get hurt at every slight. You will not have to be always run ning around looking after your repu tation. Your dignitywill not suffer so much. The Apostle Paul tells us to "put off the old man” but he does not tell us when we have done that, to put on the old woman. Meekness is not weakness. So also it is with the merciful. The merciful man will be merciful to everybody and everything and will be merciful all the time. Merciful to his employes, merciful to his wife and children, merciful to bis dog and his horse and his cat, “The quality of mercy is not strained.” “For the dear God who loveth us, He made and loveth all.” , Purity of heart is also demanded. Materialism says, “The circum stances are wrong.” Christ says the trouble is in the heart. The heart pure, every activity of the life will be pure. Tf the spiderweb troubles you kill the spiders. You will not have to spend so much time on their work. These beattiiudes teach us that the animal 'will not always rule over the ethereal. Guns and swords will be dropped In the good time coming, and men will learn that sunshine is more potent than lightning, though it is not heralded by salvos of thun der. JSot Napoleon with his artil lery, but Christ with his beatitudes is the real ruler of the world. ‘The moq,t careless reader must have been struck with the contrast between the delivery of the sermon on the mount and the delivery of the aiStort. %y Sttftiep mother. “Mom," he said, “I gotta have i some more potatoes.” I “Why, I gave you enough for two I families like ours,” she replied in I surprise. “What did you do with 1 them?” i “I forgot to wash my hands,” said !

The Iilackburn-Holton fight has reached a point at which the Demo crats of the Fifth and Eighth are on the tiptoe of expectancy, and, in deed, the Republicans also. Viewed from a political standpoint only, Democrats are in gleeful anticipa tion, because no matter which wins before'investigating committees or in answering to indictments; facts will be brought out that will not fail tp_convince the Republican voters of the State that the charges of corrup tion made by the Democrats are true, and that their leaders will go any length to get office. It is very evident that President Roosevelt is now thoroughly disgust-' ed with North Carolina Republican ism and is determined that these charges shall be ferreted out regard less of State organization or politi cal popularity.—Winston Journal. Certainly the Democrats are de lighted over anything which they think will help their party, it mat ters not whether it’s for the public good or not; and the Democratic Ma chine politicians are giving Mr. Hol ton all the assistance possible; not for the good of the Country or the public, but in hope of its redound- Br advantage, tion of our Democratic dry similar to the devil’s Go back four yeays hd Democratic papers, Tolton was being denoun ced, cu reed and abused for indicting election officers, Yes, turn the dial back two months ago and he was a- bused and accused of persecuting N. Glenn Williams because he was a Democrat. Now, when he is pros ecuting Republicans he has been transformed from devil to saint, and even the Arch Machinist, Senator Simmons, is anxious for Mr. Holton to have four years more for the good of the State. Does any sane man be lieve Democracy has seen this heav enly light and been converted? If so he should be bored for the simples. Were we a prosecuting officer, holding a commission from the Re publican president, We would scru tinize closely Democratic aid and assistance in such cases. It’s the Wolf in Sheep’s clothing. If Demo cracy was interested in purity of offi cials it would begin a cleaning out right here in North Carolina. Simpson, the indicted Democratic Registrar, has been defended by the Attorney General at every court, at the tax-payers expense, and the last Democratic legislature gave him a clerkship at Raleigh while the in dictment still hangs over him. Democracy! Democracy! how long will the people be deceived by your damnable practices, of fraud, bollot- box stuffing, shooting and killing, and protection of criminals, in the name of Democracy. You cannot deceive the people with your cheap sheep skins, and Republicans are losing no sleep over your death-bed repentance. Wyo New*.

MAP. I, 1906. ^ C o u n t y N e w s . THE POLITICAL FIGHT. The Iilackburn-Holton fight has reached a point at which the Demo crats of the Fifth and Eighth are on the tiptoe of expectancy, and, in deed, the Republicans also. Viewed from a political standpoint only, Democrats are in gleeful anticipa tion, because no matter which wins before'investigating committees or in answering to indictments; facts will be brought out that will not fail !(^convince the Republican voters of the State that the charges of corrup tion made by the Democrats are true, and that their leaders will go any length to get office. It is very evident that President* Roosevelt is now thoroughly disgust-' ed with North Carolina Republican ism and is determined that these charges shall be ferreted out regard' less of State organization or polilr cai popularity.—Winston Journal. Certainly the Democrats are de lighted over anything which they think will help their party, it mat ters not whether it’s for the public good or not; and the Democratic Ma chine politicians are giving Mr. Hol ton all the assistance possible; not for the good of the Country or the public, but in hope of its redound- Br advantage, tion of our Democratic M t; similar to the devil’ Go back four yea kd Democratic papeii Iolton was being denou: ced, cursed and abused for indictinj election officers, Yes, turn the dial back two months ago and he was a- bused and accused of persecuting N. Glenn Williams because he was a Democrat. Now, when he is pros ecuting Republicans he has been transformed from devil to saint, and even the Arch Machinist, Senator Simmons, is anxious for Mr. Holton to have four years more for the good of the State. Does any sane man be lieve Democracy has seen this heav enly light and been converted? If so he should be bored for the simples. Were we a prosecuting officer, holding a commission from the Re publican president, We would scru tinize closely Democratic aid and assistance in such cases. It’s the Wolf in Sheep’s clothing. If Demo cracy was interested in purity of offi cials it would begin a cleaning out right here in North Carolina. Simpson, the indicted Democratic Registrar, has been defended by the Attorney General at every court, at the tax-payers expense, and the last Democratic legislature gave him clerkship at Raleigh while the in dictment still hangs over him, Democracy! Democracy! how long will the people be deceived by your damnable practices, of fraud, bollot- box stuffing, shooting and killing, and protection of criminals, in the name of Democracy. You cannot deceive the people with your cheap sheep skins, and Republicans are losing no sleep over your death-bed repentance. Wyo News. Mrs. Luna Shores, of Cooleemee, is visiting relatives in this section. Our Farmers will soon be done sowing oats for the present year, and are beginning to plow for corn.

' THE CRLAM OF THL YLAR FOR BOYS AND GIRLS On the day before New Year’s all , the inhabitants of the village of j Bramwell were busily engaged plan- j ning how they should snatch the I cream of the year from all their j friends, and especially from the long | old hermit fairy who lived in Bram- well woods. For in Bramweil the luck of the year was buried in the -first pitcher- ful of water that was taken all foam ing and white from the spring in the valley. Whoever got there first 011 New Year's Eve, after the clock had struck twelve, and drew the first pitcher of water from the spring got the cream of the year, and had noth ing but luck until another. New- Year’s Day came round. So all Iho villagers excepting the babies and the very old persons who could not run spent a large part of each year in planning what they would do 011 New Year’s Eve to secure this treasure. But year after year, just as the ' clock struck twelve and the grand rush for the spring began, the old fairy hermit would come out. from his cabin on the mountain and ask the breathless hurrying throng why they ran so fast. Then the person whom -he ques tioned was obliged to answer, "Tlie cream of the year! The cream of the year.” As soon as he heard this the old hermit fairy would put on his swift est wings or his most magical boots and waft himself over the mountain and into the valley where the spring was bubbling. And long before any of the vil- Jejters had reached the spring the old had dipped up a pitcherful of vater and was off with the cream e year, leaving a trail of wailing agers behind him. -W the old hermit fairy could not Jie as mortals do. He did not midnight from early evening, ie New Year’s Bve church bells Jffif the bells of other days. In this way the villagers of Bramwell had an advantage over him, for of course if they could once have suc ceeded in getting past his hut with out his seeing that anything unusual was going on, some one of them might have snatched the pitcher of wa-ter from the spring and he never the wiser. But they were always so eager to get the first pitcherful, each for him self, that they rushed very fast, all together, and made a. great noise cream of the’ year and defeat the old 1 hermit fairy.” . ! But all the villagers saw by this | time that it was real!y only John I Breen in his new page’s suit, and I they cried out, “Who are you to bo giving us advice? Have we not raced for the cream of the year every New Year’s Day since before you were born?” “Aye, and lost it, too,” said John Breen. “If you will let me go while .Jc tA -.W re TnE OLD HERMIT FAIRY, about it, so that the old hermit fairy could not but know what was going on. Of course as he was a fairy the villagers were obliged to answer truthfully any question he put to them, a.nd when he heard their fren zied rush past his door he made use of this to compel them to tell him where they were going. On this particular New Year’s Eve there was unusuai excitement in the village because a despferate effort was' to be made to defeat the old fairy. Soon after dusk all the villagers, led by Pegons, the first Alderman, gath ered on the green to make plans. But though they planned and planned they could think of nothing. "Even now he suspects some thing,” said the oldest villager, pointing to the mountain. And there sure enough, was the old fairy on the rim of the mountain, keeping watch. But even while they were point ing him out to one another the sound of horses’ hoofs was heard along the high road. Everybody turned and saw a strapping young man in scar let seated on a splendid white horse “It is the Prince of the Red Fairy land come to help us,” cMed some of the villagers. “But, no,” cried Peggy, the first Alderman’s daughter, “it's is only John Breen, the village boy who went away to be a page in the castle.” The newcomer galloped in to the circle of anxious villagers, jumped from his horse and doffed his cap be fore the first Alderman. "Your honor,” said he, “I have come on purpose to help you win the HE KNELT BEFORE PRETTJ PEGGY, you stop quietly here I will ,be able to slip past the old hermit fairy without his suspecting that ahythiug. unusual is the matter.” “And what would you do with it when you got it?” asked the Alder man. “I would bring it back to you and put it in the town hall, where it would bring luck to the- whole vil lage,” replied John Breen. But the Alderman was a bold man, and he resolved upon a bold meas ure. "We have tried your way for a good many years,” he said to the vil lagers, “and you have always scram bled so that we lost the luck of the whole village. Now I am determined to try something else, but in order that you may have no fears I my self will be the one to go and bring back luck to the village.” “Very well. Your Honor,” said John Breen, stepping forward again with Aj.lie greatest politeness; “if that is yq\ir decision I bid you good day.” He vaulted upop his snow white horse and was off, leaving the vil lagers planning to defy Alderman Pegons’ commands and rush away to the spring, each for himself, as usual, when the clock struck twelve. But just as John Breen rode away little Peggy ran out and whispered in his ear. “Here are three gifts for you,” said she. “They are partly en chanted and partly real and you will know what ito do with them.” The talking and the planning on the village green bad taken so long that there was no time to be lost, so. putting spurs to his horse, he rode up the village street clattering, for he well knew that none of the vil lagers were at home, all having gone to the green to start on the stroke of twelve. When he reached the\village town clock he pulled out the first of Peg gy’s gifts which proved to be a pair of steel points, which he fastened to his shoes, and in an instant he was climbing up the spire. Then he brought out the second of the gifts, which was a long cloth, and in a second he had this wound around the hammer of the clock. He was just in time. The hands pointed at midnight, and'in a second more the time would have struck. Then he drew out the third gift, a beautiful pitcher, sparkling with jewels, and with this clasped tightly under his jacket he ran hastily down the mountain. Now the old fairy saw him com ing, but he thought that while the gathering on the green was still im movable a solitary page boy running home to the castle was of small im portance, so he let John get well past him and nearly to the spring before he noticed that he had branched, from the road. Then, indeed, he cried alond, "Why run so fast?” But it was too late. John gave one last lunge forward and plunged his pitcher into the spring. "The cream of the year. The cream of. the year,” he shouted tri umphantly, holding the brimming vessel high in the ali;. You may guess that the villagers were glad to see hluii when he knelt before pretty Pe,ggy and held up- the precious pitcherful, for well they knew that what Peggy had would be shared by all the village. As for the old hermit fairy, he was so chagrined when he found that an ordinary page boy had'outwitted him that he never tried to get the best of the village again.—New York Herald.

Articles Thrown Down a Shaft Eonnd Clinging to Side. It Is an Interesting sclentfic fact, and one not generally known, that nothing that falls from the mouth of the deepest mining shaft In the world ever reaches the bottom. This has been demonstrated at the famous Ited Jacket shaft of the Big Calumet and IIecla copper mine at Calumet. The article, no matter what shape or size It may be, Is invariably found clinging to the east side of the shaft. One day a monkey wrench was dropped, but it did not get to the bottom. It was found lodged against the east side of the shaft several hundred feet down. This incident coming to the attention of the Michi gan College of Mines, it was decided to make a careful test of the appar ent phenomenon. It was decided best to use a small hut heavy spherical body, and a marble, tied to a thread was suspended about twelve feet be low the mouth of the shaft. When the marhle was absolutely still, as suring that it would drop straight down, the thread was burned through by the flame of a candle. The marble fell, but at a point 500 feet from the surface brought up against the east wall of the shaft. The same would be the case were a man to fall into the shaft. While it would mean sure death, the body, badly torn, would be found lodged In . the timbering on the east side. Mem bers of the faculty of the College of Mines are now engaged in experi ments with a view of developing data as to the thickness of the earth’s crust. It is not hoped to solve the perplexing problem of the distribu tion of the earth’s matter, but it is hoped to add to the information col lected concerning it. To this end the Red Jacket shaft presents advantages possessed by no other place in the universe. The deep shafts in other parts of the country and in foreign lands generally begin at an altitude and end above or very little below the sea level, whereas at the Calumet mine the Red Jacket shaft starts in a comparatively low altitude and pierces the earth’s crust deeper and further below the ocean level than any other in existence. It is hoped within a year Io be able to give some intelligent information re garding the investigations. — St. Louis Dispatch. • Pigeon Records. Homing pigeons are the craze In England ,iust now, and on one recent Saturday between 200,000 and 300,- 000 birds were released ,in various competitions. A, number of these were raced to London from Retford and Branston. The distances are 127 and 113 miles, respectively, but no birds of the several thousand re-' leased made the trip In the tradlr Iional mile a minute, although every circumstance of wind and weather was favorabje to record breaking. Much better time was made in a contest from Templecombe to Lon don, in which one bird made the 108 miles in ninety-four minutes, an average of sixty-nine miles an hour, and more than one hundred exceed ed a speed of sixty miles an hour. One of the oldest homers is a bird which makes its home around the railway station at Liege, in Belgium. There is a train from Liege to War- emrue which starts every morning at ten o’clock. As soon as the train pulls into the station the bird com mences to circle in the air, and as soon as headway is gained follows the train to its destination, return ing immediately home, where it flies about the station for the rest of the day. It pays no attention to any other of the trains and no one is able to offer an explanation as to why this particular train should be favored. The Swiftest Birds. Evidence has been collected re cently which shows that the biue- throat flies from Central Africa to the shores of the North Sea, a dis tance of 1,600 miles, In less than a day and a night, and makes it, more over, in one uninterrupted flight. The storks which spend their sum mers in Austria-Hungary and their winters in India and Central Africa are also marvelous travelers, and make their journeys twice a year in unbroken flight each time. From Budapest, in Hungary, to Lahore, in India, is 2,400 miles In an air line, and the storks make the journey In twenty-four hours, thus traveling at the rate of 100 miles an hour for the whole distance. Thfe storks which spend the summer in central Europe and winter in central Africa travel with the same rapidity.—Pall Mall Gazette. : cate with a train running at full \ speed and warn it of impending dan- I ger. The use of wireless telegraphy j in this connection would especially j safeguard trains on one-track rail ways. It is not expected that the expense of supplying the necessary apparatus will be much beyond the budget al lowed each year for repairing, old signals and introducing new inven tions which aim to protect life and limb In railway travel. REMINISCENCES Wireless to Stop Accidents. Two years ago exhaustive practi cal experiments were commenced'and continued until recently on the mili tary railway leading from Berlin to Zossen. Telegraph stations, were fitted up with transmitters' and re ceivers, while the trains -were equipped with the same apparatus. Ordinary telegraph wires along the; track were used to facilitate the' work. The experiments proved that the Stations could at any tlmwcommunb- Ihe season at Digby—the Newport of Nova Scotia—was at its height. Emerson, tired of the nonsensical chatter of the summer girls at The Pines, made his way down 4» the beach where he could watch the incom ing tide and be soothed by old Fundy’s deep stentorian roar. In the distance the Union Jack waved listlessly in the summer breeze. A quiet somnolence prevailed everywhere. H watched the sea gulls as they flew hither and thither, sometimes alighting, for an instant, on a bit of rock or sea weed; then up and away, soaring high er and higher, in the heavens until they were mere specks In the horizon. The longer he watched them the more ardently he wished he were a gull or bird of prey so that when weary of this existenec he could hie him away to other scenes. He was deep in a reverie when some thing dropped in his lap. A pink sunshade. “Oh, I beg your pardon, how careless of me.” He looked up. “Edith’’’ "Harold!” Simultaneously they uttered the words, and he sprang to grasp her out stretched hand. “What in the world are yoii doing here?” she said. “A truce from business cares,” he re plied; "and you?” “Oh, I’m with a party of New York friends. We returned from abroad last month only to learn that we were to be entertained by one of our party in Montreal. From thence we came to Digby, and here we are all comforta bly ensconced at the Lour Lodge.” “You haven’t changed a bit,” he said, as he gave her a sweeping glance. 'Same sparkling .black eyes, same wavy brown hair that curls in the same pro mising way over your left ear.” She smiled. , “And where have you been since I taw you last?”'he continued. He watched her as she deftly opened her sunshade and arranged It in front of them to shut out the glaring sun, and his mind wandered back to three years before when he had first met her at Bar Harbor, when every corner and crevice of his heart was filled with her image. There was a delightful summer spent in her company. Automobile rides, boating, bathing and moonlight strolls where they vowed undying devotion. Then he returned to college, and she to her studies pbroad, and somehow they drifted apart. He awoke with a start to realize that he had not heard a word of her con versation. “And what do you think, Harold?" she was saying. “I met Florence Eg gleston in Paris at the opera. We only talked tor a moment. She was with some Frenchman, an inferior looking person with an unpronounceable name. I didn’t have time to speak with her very long, and Mrs. De Laci, my hos tess. says it is just as well, for she has a decidealy questionable reputation m Europe. You know, we used to think her quite pretty, but mercy! hasn’t she faded? Really she looked extreme ly vulgar and overdressed. “Then I met the Taylors and Con rads in Rome, and many other of our old friends on the .continent. “How is it with you, Harold? What have you been doing? Do you ever see any of the old crowd?” “Occasionally,’ he answered, gazing apross t„o Bay of Fundy. "I ran into Clyde Fessendon the other day at Sher ry’s, and I hardly knew him, he looked so seedy. Why, he’s a physical-wreck, and looked more like a walking ghost than a human being. I hadn’t seen him for three years, so I suppose the change struck me more forcibly. He talked absent-mindedly about the cur rent events, and after he went out I asked Will Travers, who happened to be with me, what ailed him. He said; ‘Why, didn’t you know he’d failed in business? He married one of the pop ular debutantes last year. Can’t think of her name now,- but she’s a terrible spendthrift, they say. Took about all he made to keep'her in togs and swell her around, so he went through.’ ” “Poor fellow,” she said. “That’s the penalty. I suppose you are married, Harold?” “Oh, yes, some time ago.” “To" whom, may I ask?” “Florence Eggleston.” They were silent. “And you ?” he said presently. “Oh! I married Clyde Fessendon.”— Boston Post. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. THE DR. V.0. THOMPSON DRUGSTORE, Winston, N. C. Anything you want in DRUGS AND MEDICINES, Prompt Attention to Mail Orders.

Oth er towns have it, why not Moeks- ville?” Now the Postmaster has this to say; the first mail train is due here at 1:13 p. m., the next at 3:38 p. m. To serve these two trains would re quire the Postmaster to spend about four hours every Sunday at the P. 0. Say from 12:30 to 4:30 p. m.

This will j ive the people all the mail, and will not require so much time at the . yPost Office. The Postmaster has done his best to give good service, but is not much in favor of Sunday mails.

We sincerely wish the President would serve notice on these mud slingers, that in no event should they become beneficiaries. If the man recommended for office is unfit for the place, his name should be de cently withdrawn,and the parties who are scouring in the mire for filth, should be given a back seat. Give us good upright men. to fill the places, but the men who want the places so bad, that they have to get down in the mud and mire,should be set down upon hard and fast. Decen cy is next to godliness,and these niud- flingers are devoid of both attributes. It’s easy to find out a man’s charac ter before recommending him for a place, but don’t go to his ene mies to find out the truth about him. Mr. Blackburn will be tried soon upon the indictments found against him for practicing before the de partments. Decency, justice and fair play demands that the courts and a jury should first decide the question of his guilt or innocence. Republican papers at least, should not attempt to manufacture pub lic sentiment against him, or contin ually attempt to discredit him.

WRIGHT Iltv T y v ' She was a pretty girl, a very pretty girl, though just where the center- point of her beauty lay was hard to determine, each man having a dif ferent idea on the subject. Aside from her good looks, which were free to any man with eyes, she had subtler attractions for the indi vidual. Miss Maberly obeyed the in junction of the apostle and was all things to all men. W ith one she rode, and very well, too. With another she golfed, and he was prepared to swear that she golfed like an angel— which might be true enough, and yet not make her mistress of the cleelc and brassy. W ith a third she talked of Shakes peare and the musical glasses. From all that has been said it will be plain that Miss'" Maberly cut a wide swath in the field of unmarried officers stationed at Sheridan bar racks. From Carroll, who was very young and ingeiiious and had a pret ty color in h i/ cheeks, up to the sen ior major, n£io was grizzled, and a widower, ansfr had no color at all. ex cept in his^nose, they were all up to their eygiids in love. The JBnly reason the colonel es- capedjffas because he was her father. He Vgps at this time perhaps the most popffiar colonel in the service. Iiss Maberly came in June, bring- Sg with her “the summer and the sun,” as Lieutenant Wiuthrop said she told him, and it was now near the holidays She was going to give her friends a few gifts after the New Year’s Eve ball. Including the artillery and infan try, there was a number of men in her train. It was manifestly improb able that she would give presents to all, therefore the man who received one would be indicated for prefer ment. It was agreed that the lucky man should bring his present to the mess New Year’s morning unopened, and then show it as proof that he had won. After that he was to have free field. Young Carroll felt this to be un fair in a way, but yet he could not in honor warii his friends that he was to be the lucky man. It was by accident he found out. He happened to catch Miss Maberly at work with a lot of worsted, though what the work was he did not dis cover because she hid it behind her when he entered. “I didn’t want yon to know any thing about it until New Years,” she said “It is to be a surprise—and anyway, please don't mention it.” He did not mention it, but he walked about for some days on air, and threw a chest that was percepti ble across the parade ground. He felt a vast pity for those other chaps who were to draw blanks in the New Year’s lottery. Never had Miss Maberly looked prettier than she did at the dance on New Year’s Eve, never had she danced so divinely, never had she “sat out” so charmingly, never had she bestowed her favors more impar tially. It was a singularly cheerful crowd that gathered at the bachelors’ mess the next morning. Each man bore himself with an air oit benevolent su periority to his fellows that was hard to account for on any reasonable grounds. It was as if none of them had lost, which was absurd. Dr. Slote, as a married man, had been selected as the master of cere monies. “And now, gentlemen,” he said when the breakfast was over, “let- us proceed if you please to the show down. Will the gentleman who holds the four aces kindly put his cards upon the table. There was a simultaneous move ment on the part of every unmarried man present, a simultaneous diving into pockets, a concordant rustling of tissue paper, and then—silence. On the table lay 24 bright red mit tens of “the kind that mother used to make,” and with each pair a card — “with Miss Maberly’s best wishes for a Happy New Year, and hopes that these may be of comfort In the winter of your discontent.” Major Dunwoodie was the first to break the silence, and what he said Is not printable. Then he rose and pinned his present to the mantel shelf. Each man did the same, until 11 pairs of mittens hung displayed. Only Carroll refused. After all,” he said, "she made ’em, and that’s something. I intend to wear mine. “And you hope to win her yet, do you, youngster?” asked the junior major. “Well, you needn’t. I went over to the colonel’s last night after the dance and learned something which puts you all out of the run ning. Miss Maberly's to be married in the spring. “Married!” The mess gasped as one man. “What regiment?” asked young Carroll. “None, my son. He’s a godforsa ken, qualified civilian— a lawyer, or professor, or something like that,” said the doctor. Then Major Dunwoodie rose. “Gentlemen,” said he, “I didn't sup pose it possible for the regiment to lose, and to lose to a rank outsider, too, but it has, and we must take our defeat gracefully. Any man who has succeeded in finding out that Miss Maberly cares for him must be a wonder, and I move we drink his health and hers!” • And It was done. ._____________ A Week of Feasting, Prayer and Of ferings to the Gods—Impor tance of Fortune Telling. For an American with an eye tot color and a penchant for novelty, a trip through the Chinese quarter of New York during the celebration of the Chinese new year, beginning February 16 and continuing one week, is well worth the taking, says a writer In the New York Globe. These quaint people .who cling so persistently to the customs of their mother country are among the most picturesque residents of the city, and the few blocks where several thou sand make their home are just as complete and characteristic of China as a corner of Hong Kong transport ed to this country would be. During this important time of year the streets are gayly decorated with red paper and yellow flags, the frost is forgotten, and men, women, and children throng the sidewalks scat tering- luck paper and eating sweet meats, the flowing silks of their holi day garments reminding-one of the good old summertime, for new year’s offers much the same opportunity to the Chinese to display fashions as Easter does to the Americans. Two dignified Chinese merchants meet on the street, stop for a moment, and bow their heads repeatedly toward each other, meanwhile each shaking his own hands, as they exchange greetings of the new year— “Gar ne fo toy”— “Happy good luck to you and your family.” However Americanized a China man becomes he does not forget to pay tribute to the various gods of his native religion during the new year season. It means luck for the com ing twelve months; and whatever his American religion has taught him, he still has a feeling down deep in his heart that the gods of his fathers must not be snubbed too completely. He seeks out the Chinese quarters and with the rest, takes part in the feasting and the cere monies. It is almost an invariable rule with the Chinese that all debts shall be cancelled before the new year, for it is the worst kind of bad luck to begin another twelve months without a clean slate. New Years means a week of feast ing and prayer. The highbinder lays down his hatchet and the spirit of peace hovers over him as it does over the respectable merchant who works for a living. From almost every cor ner and cranny of the complicated old rookeries of the Chinese quarter, tiny streams of incense curl and spread, filling the air with their pungent odor. The Chinese believe that the luck god likes mu.eh demonstration, so to please him, and to insure his favor for the coming year it is neces sary to fire off many fire crackers and to make as much noise as possible. Mock money, which is manufactured by the sheet for this purpose, and seems to please the gods quite as well as the genuine greenbacks, is also incinerated. There is the luck god, the health god, the child god, the kitchen and many other gods for whom rice wine, sweetmeats, fruits, and rice are set forth. In the Chinese homes various articles of food are set before the ancestral tablets. To the God of Heaven and Earth, the wealthy families generally provide a large roast goose, and the families of moderate means a fish. The Joss houses are scenes of much activity during the week, and there is music everywhere. One of the most important duties of every Chinaman, and one that is seldom neglected, is to have his fortune fore told for the coming year. The "wise” man of the Chinese is a very impor tant person, and he stands well In so ciety. Although they are not often seen by Americans, there are sev eral of these prognosticators scat tered throughout Chinatown. In lit tle rooms they hold forth. With a small table in front of them, they toll your fortune with a tin slate, a jar of luck sticks upon which sym bols are written, and a sacred tor toise shell In which there are three coins. By choosing a number, of the sticks and deciphering the writing thereon, or by tossing the coin In the sacred shell and throwing it out upon a mat, the good and evil for th« coming year is foretold.

Suchfiguresare too eounty, and the number of homes' vast to mean anything. Even the that were sacrificed through the 9,000,000 posts of the census, a mere workings of the “free trade” poli cies will ever stand as monuments to the ruin wrought by that party. The Democratic party is without a single issue. It was first in favor of “free trade.” but abandoned that. It nextclaimed that “free silver” was the panacea for all the evils with which the body politic was af flicted, but the people repudiated that. It last held up ‘ ‘imperialism’ ’ as a great bugaboo, and sought to frighten the people into giving its leaders another lease of power, but the people refused to be deceived. Governor Glenn, ex-Govemor Ay- cock, Mr. Craig and other speakers proclaimed from every stump that if the amendment was adopted, where by negroes would be eliminated from politics, the white people could divide on the issues of the day, and vote their honest convictions, with out being- influenced by either con siderations. The people accepted those pledges at their face value, and hereafter will be governed by reason instead of being driven by predjudice. For several years I have watched the developement of the country generally, and particularly of West ern North Carolina, under both Re publican and Democratic rule. It is my purpose to cast my votes for the party whose purpose will best pro tect the people, and bring most good to the greatest number, I am satis fied that the Republican party is the party for the laboring man, for the farmer, for the merchant, f<jr the manufacturer, for the people gener ally.

Durability and at least moderate strength are the desirable qualities for fence posts. The use of species which are not durable is expensive, both on account of the more fre quent renewal which is necessary and because repairing is constantly called for. Timber of the required quality is produced in the middle west by hardy catalpa, black locust and Osage orange. Several other species, such as white willow, European larch, Russian mulberry and red cedar, are also be ing grown with good results, but none of them is better fitted to sup ply fence posts. than those first named.—Exchange.

C., THURSDAY, M ar. 29, 1906.No. 38 FALL OF CAMPANILE irHB ET1QtETTE OF CHBIS™Aa “I tell thee,” Teturned old Jacopo, querulously, and with the same impa tient gesture he had often used to the St. Mark's pigeons when they grew too familiar; “I tell thee, thou ca.nst not have the girl! One thing I swear to thee—my Tessa shall no man have un less he dwell within sight of the Cam panile.” As he spoke he glanced affectionately at the great bell tower crowning St. Mark’s. Under the benign smile of the golden angel poised on its graceful height had Jacopo in his long-gone youth pledged his troth. To that dead Tessa had he first told the story of the Campanile—how Doge Pietro Tribuno had begun it centuries ago, how the loggia had been a meet ing place for the haughty nobles of Venice. So well had he told it that she sug gested to him the occupation of guide, and under her inspiration he had suc ceeded beyond his hopes. He grew to be a great favorite among all tourists, and to many nationalities he repeat ed. never wearying, ths history of the bell tower. Though a man of no edu cation. he was strongly tinged with t he poetry of his passionate country. Suddenly turning, he plunged into the alley and disappeared from view. Harltness was left to wander disconso lately through the piazza, and to pon der on Tessa's gentle but firm assur ance that she could not marry without her father's consent. / "As if our trees and some of our riv ers weren't worth a thousand hell tow ers!” he muttered, wrathfully. Then suddenly he grasped the arm of a bystander, and, pointing eagerly to the Campanile, demanded in his usual curt Italian if “that” had always been there.” “That” proved to be a crack yawning in the Campanile itself. In his surprise and horrer the Venetian overlooked the slight to his dignity. "Signore, no,” he said, anxiously; "the authorities must be iofonned.” The authorities were inftormed, and a careful inspection resulted in the dis covery that this supreme treasure of Italy was in danger. So, at least, said the city magnates, but old Jacopo re fused to believe. "When thy bones and mine have been a century decayed,” he said, (scornfully, to Harkness, "the Campa nile will stand there.” The Monday following the discovery of the crack he was persistently lin gering near the Campanile, though much irritated by the prcsencc of Tes sa's lover, who continued to urge his suit. That the Englishman had found this flaw in the tower annoyed the guide bitterly, and he turned the ..doafest of ears to all the young man’s pleadings— eo deaf, indeed, that at first he took the ominous cracking sound ristng sharply from the tower for an explosion else where in the city. But at Harkness’ cry We whirled around and faced the awful slight of the Campanile crashing down toward them both. In full reach of the sinking angel he stoop gaping. Then two powerful arms lifted him like a feather and the Kng- lisbman ran for both their lives. Jacopo suffered the young sailor to lead him home, still with the stunned air of one who could not understand what had happened. He made no an swer to any question, except to say stupidly that he was not hurt, and, In spite of Tessa’s anxious ministrations, refused all food for nearly two days, lying languidly on his simple pallet. Hourly Tessa saw him fading,'but at last, with a Hush of his old energy, he sat up and called the girl and Hark ness to him. ‘‘I said you should marry no man who did not dwell in the shadow of the tower, Tessa mio,” he said, quietly; “but where may such a man be found now? Shadow, indeed, the Campanile throws no longer, and the lowest build ing In the city is higheu than the labor Cf the masters. Never again shall thou and I, my daughter, let our boat drift • in the blue waters of the bay and watch the setting sun lay a crown of Kplendid rays on the bright angel— that angel who for countless years has watched the white sails of the Venetian craft come and go! Never again—but I grow confused! Wed her, Inglesi, since she loves three! ’Tis the old marvel—how a maid’s-heart is stronger than her native land!” His mind began to wander. The old voice trailed off into a dying whisper, for other doors had opened, and through them Jacopo had passed.— Illustrated Bits.

Xt -• - — — *- What is Good Form In Making One’s Christmas Gifts. It is good form to send gifts so that they may be received within three or four days of Christmas Day, but a gift arriving the day after Bhows afterthought or carelessness. Upon receiving a present from some unexpected source or from some one not on our list, it is not good form to bustle to send something back. It is better to write a note of thanks and wait until another year to re turn the compliment, says the New York American. Giving with Lhe expectation of getting something back is not good form. Neither is it. wise to give the same value in return or the same kind of thing each year. If it seems best to give the same thing every year—for instance, a check or a roll of money—use a little ingenuity in dressing it, or change the value for the sake of the sur prise it will carry. A card should always accompany every gift, but stilted words are out of style. A "Merry Christmas” is sufficient unless we can be delight fully original. Those who give to the poor may omit the card if they choose. This is the occasion when anonymous communications are good form. Neither is it necessary to tab ulate gifts to children. Let them en joy Santa Claus just as long as pos sible. Gifts among friends and rela tives should be selected with the ut most tact. and delicacy, and those to the servants should be chosen for the purpose of giving pleasure. The utilitarian aspect should not always be paramount. A check or a new gown or an overcoat may be given where the motives are understood, but these should be concealed in something frivolous. The true spirit of Christmas calls for the unattain able. Give something to somebody, but if possible let that something be the very thing that the "somebody” cannot buy for one’s self. The gift should be a luxury rather than a ne cessity, and if the necessity be. the unattainable, then let the practical gift be smothered in luxury or fool ishness. If we give a check or a crisp ten dollar bill to somebody, let it be concealed under a few simple Cliristmas .flowers, in a bunch of holly, in a box of sweetmeats, or in a dainty but longed-for book.

The Chinese say that a good-sized tree will ordinarily produce from 600 to 700 pomeloes. Wheii it is considered that many pomeloes will run as large as Beven or eight inches In diameter and even larger, it will be appreciated that such a tree is bearing a load.

Eespectfnll y, BAILEYKlMARTn' THE DAVIE RECORD. E. H. MORRIS -Editor MOCKSVILLE, N. C. MAR. 29, 1906. ARE TEACHERS PAID TOO MUCH. Before the meeting of the Wake County Teachers’ Institute held in Raleigh last week, Prof. Chas. L. Coon made the statement that “pub lic school teachers are paid more than they earn, and when they earn more they will be paid more.” The average price paid to the teachers in this State is $29.63 per month, while in some communities $17.50 is all that even the best teachers receive. Now one of two things is certain, if our teachers are competent they should receive a larger salary for their work; if they are incompetent then they should be discharged and competent teachers put in their places. A teacher that is thorough and does his or her duty works hard er than the day laborer, and yet re ceives less pay for their toil. Hands w.io work on railroads receive from SI .00 to $1.50 per day; the man who lays brick receives from $2.00 to to $4.00 per day, and yet Prof. Coon would have us believe ' that the ser vices of a person, who have spent their early life and their money in securing an education, are not worth as much as the day laborer. That is one trouble with our public school system today. In many counties the price paid the teachers is so low that competent and energetic teachers are seeking other and more proflita- ble employment, leaving those who are incompetent or too lazy to do anything else, to teach the schools, and the children are the ones that have to suffer. The year 1908 will soon be here, and it is very essential that we have the best teachers to aid our young boys in getting an ed ucation, that they may not be dis franchised after 1908. The price paid teachers has been held down in order to help the Democrats carry out their pledge to give the people a four months school. But they had better break this, as they have brok en all other pledge, and increase the salaries of teachers even if they have a shorter school term, for a child will learn more under a com petent teacher in two months than under an incompetent teacher in four months. The two months that are wasted could be spent profitably at home on the farm or in the house work. We are not advocating cut ting down the school term, we are E imply stating what would be best under the circumstances. The school term should be even longer than it is, and would be even if the money was judiciously spent in every coun ty.—Caucasion. Who is to blame if the teachers in public schools are being paid more than they earn? Are not our pub lic schools controlled and dominated by the Democratic Machine in both counties and State? Are these nien not trying to make all they can out of them for party advantage? Are not some of the County Superin tendents getting a great deal more than they earn? Are not they pri marily responsible for present con ditions? Have the schools increased in length of term in proportion to the increase amount of money? Is not a goodly portion of the money going into the pockets of these men, instead of going to the schools, thus preventing the employment of high er priced teachers? Is it not impos sible to employ as a general rule, efficient teachers, at the present sal aries? These matters should be looked into by the people, and reme dies should be applied, and our schools be made more efficient. Cana Items. Several new students in school this week. Rev. S. A.

Methods Employed to Gnard Against This Fatal Disease. ' As medicinal treatment is unsatis factory and a successful, practical vaccine or antitoxin has not been found, the only treatment that can be recommended is preventive, and March 11, ’06— (M att..5: 33-48.) „ I Among the most outrageous uses [ of the tongue is the practice of pro- • fanity, one of the commonest vices I of the day. LlHce an internal dis- j ease the temper shows itself on the consist in using all possible precau- j jongne The merchant discovers that tions against carrying the germs into j Jie Jlas Jjeen robbed; the lawyer finds the hog lots, and supplying clean, healthful surroundings and clean feed, says R- A. Craig, of the Purdee Experiment Station. The main precautions against car rying the germs into the yards are as follows: I Hogs from other herds, or stock shows should not be allowed to mix with the herd until they have been proven free from disease. 2. All possible ways in which the germs can he carried into the yard by people,, dogs birds, etc., should be guarded against especially when the disease is present in the neighbor hood. r 3. Dipping or washing the hogs with a two per cent, water solution of a tar disinfectant should be prac ticed and the animals placed In quarantine for at least three weeks in yards that do not communicate in any way with the regular yards. 4. "When it is necessary for per sons to enter pens where the disease i3 known to exist, they should clean and disinfect their shoes on leaving. 5. Persons taking care of sick hogs should use all possible precau tions against the spread of the dis ease in their neighborhood. The importance of clean feed, wa ter, troughs and feeding floors must be emphasized, as it is in the feed that the germs usually enter the body. In no other place on the farm are whitewash and disinfectants so necessary as in the hog house and pens. Pastures and lots can be kept In a more healthful condition if the hogs are taken out for a few months each year, and a forage crop sowed In the unused lots. Pens and pas tures receiving the drainage from neighboring swine enclosures should not be used. Some of the necessary measures in the treatment of a sick herd are as follows: 1. Disinfect the feeding floors, troughs, hog houses and their imme diate surroundings daily with a wa ter solution of a tar disinfectant (two to four per cent.) If this can not be done, remove the hogs and build temporary quarters. 2. Feed a light, sloppy diet of shorts, bran, etc. 3. Do not leave water and slop in the troughs for the hogs to wallow In. 4. Copper sulfate can be dissolved in the drinking water and slop in the proportion of four ounces to the bar rel. 5. The dead hogs should be burned, or buried and their bodies covered with lime If these precautions against the spread and perpetuation of "hog cholera” were observed, it is be lieved that this disease would not exist as an epidemic from year to year. himself outwitted by his opponent; the mechanic, pounds his finger with his hammer; the farmer gets knocked down by the ploughhandle, the boy loses his hat in a scuffle and each one of them swears at the an noyance. Men dispute, quarrel and curse each other in furious passion. Lurid Literature. A half dozen boys have run away from their parents in Thoniasville within the past six months. Mostof them returned, it is true, before they reached the period of feeding the swine, and lilxing themselves with the food intended for the hogs, bat there is a cause for discontent, and that is what we want to talk about a little. A year or so ago a list of yellow-backed, blood and thun der novels were put on sale in the town, and the boys became the best patrons of this lurid stuff. Such books as the “Wild West,” “Dia-- mondDick,” “Liberty Bitts,” “But to read anything they wish, and we are sure many of them ate not aware of the impressions made by their children on the public. The free and easy manner of dealing with the youths of today in the home life, bring tears and sorrow to many of the parents, and while we are . dis cussing parental control, it’s not amiss to refer to the lax, dicipline in our schools; boys and girls are sent to study, and it’s the wish of all pa rents (or shuld be) that their child ren be taught good manners and falo Bill,” “Frank 'Merrell” and j right principles be instilled into their Bowery Bill” were exposed in the minds. Writing letters and carry- windows and were greedily devour ed by the youths of the community, Wild visions began to float in their minds of the free and independent life of the West; they became impa tient of a parental restraint, and re belled against the family govem- . ment. Some of them, as we have Besides this there is a vast amount j Saidi ran away and found to their of swearing from mere habit—the SOrrow and chagrin that all is n o t! commonest form of profanity. In | gold that glitters, while many oth • Fence Post. The oldtime fence-post. has served its purpose for so long thast it is about time it was improved. It has always seemed natural that in erect ing a fence-post a hole should first be dug in the ground and the end of the post inserted in the hole, the re maining space being filled up again. the great majority of cases the vic tim of this vice claims that he means no harm. He does it playfully, sci entifically, wittily, with a smile in voking the vengeance of heaven, and glibly condemning others to de spair. The words of cursing and blasphemy grow so familiar that they are used upon all occasions, all unconsciously by the speaker. He swears when he is angry, swears when he is pleased, swears at his enemies, swears at his friends, swears at others, swears at himself, swears that what he said is true, and then swears that he was only jest ing when he swore to it; swears at all times, under all circumstances, at all things animate and inanimate, good, bad and indifferent. Then there is the profanity of as tonishment In which those who are not habitually profane break out in to blasphemous exclamations at oc currences which excite their childisli minds. As if the English language, were too feeble to bear up their mighty ideas without resort to ex traordinary expressions. Such is the profanity of little minds. Occasion ally we see a person who finds in finite merriment- In the punning ap plication of Bible language. Its words are dragged into comical nar ratives, interwoven in a keen retort. Thus the arrows of wit are feathered with Scripture and eternal truth be comes the straw with which men are iekled into idiot laughter. No one can move among men without recognizing the fact that a wild, terrific wave of blasphemy is sweeping over the land. So exten sive has it become that it has sub merged our law courts and perjury Is constantly committed without a blush. When men in ordinary con versation so commonly use the name of God, it is not strange that in the witness box, and the prisoner’s dock, and the alderman's office, and the custom house so many swear falsely. So widespread is the habit that re cently in New York a prominent, offi cial called public attention to it and declared it to be almost impossible to believe any man under oath. Enough lies are told every day^ and sworn to, to sink every court house in the land. Smuggling, though it be done against the positive injunc tion, “Thou shalt nt I forswear thy self,” is in some circles considered a great joke. It is only to beat the sharp eyed officers. Men more easily break their sol emn oaths than formerly. What strange verdicts juries sometimes render In total disregard of their oath. What peculiar charges judges sometimes make! W hat unaccount able slowness sheriffs and their dep uties sometimes exhibit in the exe cution of their writs! What erratic enterprises suddenly pass our State legislatures! W hat is the explana tion? Largely the explanation lies in the detei'ioration of the public conscience, through the assaults which have been made upon it by this ceaseless and universal drag ging of Jehovah’s name and attri butes in the foul ditch of Blasphemy. This sin is rendered greater by the fact that there is little temptation to commit it. The words of cursing are- neither sweet to the mouth nor musical to the ear. The thief can plead bis^neccssities; the drunkard tell of his raging thirst; the sen sualist talk of the force of passion, but the profane swearer appeals to none of these; he serves the devil without wages,- he bites at a bare hook It needs no argument to prove that the common oath-language is to the last degree vulgar and Bru tal and wrong. It is vulgar in its silliness. -The fact that sensible men do not swear in the presence of ladies, proves it. It is vulgar, as it-is the vice of the lowest classes, of the ing on with each other, and roaving over the town when they should be under the eye of the teacher, and studying their books, only adds to the perils of the present day youths Hold them in check and look after their mental and moral training, or the future will bring sorrow and tears, instead of peace and happi- efs are, no doubt, unhappy in their j ness. homes. This is the inevitable result ------------------------- of reading this pernicious literature, Paces and P aces .—“Y ou hear so and parents are gi ^ y o many people talking of ‘the pacewho exercise no oversight ot wnar j * * * „ , , . their children are reading. Not on- + w T Iy are they misled by this literary poison, but their taste is destroyed, so that they do not enjoy the strong, wholsome and pure. Who ever saw a boy, absorbed by a dime novel,who cares a fig for the Youth’s Compan ion? To him, uplifting and helpful reading is dry and stale. We have heard much of the danger of perni cious literature falling into the hands of children, but we have seen its baleful effects within our own town. We advise our neighbors, whose children are not yet under the power.of bad books, and books that, if not bad, are absolutely worthless, to forbid their buying or- reading a thing not inspected by persons of taste and judgment. It is hard, however, to control them with the temptation spread before them as they walk the streets from day to day.—Charity and Clildren, The above article is to the point, and should not only be read by the parents, but the boys and girls' also. Parents are not as a genen I r.t'e as strict with ' their clildren as ’they used to be, and the change has not proven beneficial, but on the con trary very detrimental.
