f HIS LOYE LETTER
"And you’ve been in tbe city two
Weeks without‘knowing a soul? Must
be a mightly slow time you’re having.”
The keen-eyed broker looked ques-
tioningly into the elder man’s tarmed
face.
"Yes—it isn’t very exciting.”
“Mow much more of it is there?"
•‘I'll get away next week, I guess.
The trials are about over.”.
Never before had Lawrence served
on a federal jury, and when tbe mar
shal’s summons called him from the
farm it seemed a message of joy. Two
or three weeks in tbe city—and be paid
‘for it! Nothing ro do after I o'clock;
all the sights of tie town at h's com
mand. He fairly chuckled at the good
fortune that allowed his raise to be
drawn from the box. He had not been
to the city, except on flying trips with
cattle, for fifteen years.
Ijiwrouce was Basily inolde I by con
ditions. The round yeai or, the farm
alternately exalted and dep eased him.
!t(Seemed that he never had a vacation.
In it i local paper he read of the bank
er going to the mountains and of the
physician spending a month on Ibe
lakes, and now Iiau‘‘ome his turn.
“Say, how would you tike to taka in
the town?”
ft was the broker back at his side,
peering into his face. “It would cheer
you up and do you good. Might as
well have a little fun in this world as
j ru go along, you know."
.Take in the town? The expression
was familiar. He had heard men tell
about it, but into his own sheltered life
no such experience had come. At times
In the presence of more experienced
companions he had known a curious
shame that be was ignorant of so much
In which they seemed to have found
delight. He was as if outside their
fraternity, an aiien in woi’ldliness.
“A chance of a lifetime,” the broker
was saying. "We’ll do it right. Be one
of the boys once.”
**»***•»
"Have to change your room, sir,” re
marked the clerk as Lawrence went to
the desk for his key. "Theatrical
troupe takes your whole floor.”
Patiently Lawrence followed the bell
boy to his new location. The furniture
was luxurious, the hangings rich and
heavy, the light dazzling. He was
pleased with this hotel. It seemed
homelike to him.
He and Helen had stayed here a
week on their wedding trip, and in
stinctively he had sought the place.
They had in the bureau drawer in their
sitting room a menu card pilfered from
the dining table and a receipted billl for
their accommodations, "seven days at
$8—$56.” He had not looked at the
scrapbook in years, but as he entered
the new room it all came back to him
—for this was their old apartment.
The paper was different and the adorn
ments 'were modern, but the old-fash
ioned mahogany furniture was un
changed. He had the old bridal cham
ber. Of course, the hotel did not know
it as such—much finer suites were used
now.
The man sank into an easy chair.
Helen occupied his thoughts. As In a
panorama the years of their wedded
life spread before him, and he contrast
ed the last view he had of her as he
left the little country station with that
of the bride of his younger days. She
was yet beautiful to him; she was yet
his ideal of womanhood—but lie had
become accustomed to things; Kfe was
so humdrum at home, perhaps he had
neglected some little courtesies due
her. He felt a humble guiltiness.
Suddenly there came to him an in
spiration—be would write a love letter.
They had never in all their married
life been separated so long as this. Ot
course, at times he had had occasion to
write to her short messages beginning.
"Dear Wife,” and ending "Yours aff.,”
but no love letetrs. He pushed a but
ton and ordered writing material.
“Do not let any one come to the
room,” were his orders as the boy
turned away. Then he began;
"My Sweetheart ” the opening
ran. "You do not know how much I
love you.” Lawrence smiled as he read
over the words. It had been more than
fifteen years since he had used such ex
pressions on paper. On and; on his
pen flew, coining lonesomeness into af
fection. Tage after page, reviewing all
the days of happy communion, pouring
out his soul as he had never done in
all his life. It was the sublime concen
tration of clean living and pure loving.
He was at his best there in the old
bridal chamber, the experience of a
lifetime illumining his soul.
Whpn, with tears glistening in his
blue eyes, he signed "Your husband” to
the long letter, he seemed to have
thrown off the burden of years.
Briskly he addressed the envelope
and hurried to the office.
“G entlem an in th e billiard room
w aitin g for you, sir,” rem ark ed th e
clerk as h e approached th e desk. “Wo
Bent th e boy to your room , b u t he
did n ’t get any answ er.”
Lawrence paused an instant, with the
bulky letter held over the opening of
the mail box. In a quick glance he
caught the broker’s form and a famil
iar voice sounded above the crack of
ivory balls.
“You may tell him,” he replied, “that
I have gone to bed and do not wish to
be disturbed.”
He dropped Ihe letter in the box and
with a firm step mounted the broad
gtairwtr —Chicago Reeord-Herald.
CARE OP TIIH POULTRY HOUSE,
Stmly the Comfort of the Fowls If
You Desire Large Egg Production.
Of all the buildings on the farm,
the poultry houBe usually receives
the least attention, says Indiana
Parmer. We have seen some of the
best farms In- the country with a lit
tle old shackly pen for a poultry
house. It would seem that the far
mers would become more interested
In poultry since the price for egg6
has been so high for so long, but
they think the hen is a shifter and
do not seem to think it would do any
good to improve her quarters.
If it is too small enlarge it by all
means. A house 10 by 30 feet would
not too large for a hundred hens.
The., need plenty of space for a
roosting room and then a larger
space for the scratching or living
rotfm. They should not be compelled
to stay in the same room where they
roost. They will stay out In the wet
and cold rather than do that, and
who would blame them. Fowls must
have protection on stormy days or
they will not lay.
Don’t put In a ventilator, and if
you have one in nail it up. They are
death traps. Instead of this, line the
inside of the house with some tarred
paper And nail cleats over the cracks
>n the outside. Some farmers place
;orn foddedr up against the sides of
corn fodder up against the sides of
i great help. Place some windows
on the south side of the living room
to let In the light and heat of the
mn. This will be found quite bene-
■leial to the fowls In winter. The
Ioor should be perfectly tight so no
lraft can blow up through it. If a
Iirt floor is used it should be high
jnough to keep dry. If it is damp it
jliould be dispensed with and a
board ffl&y made.
The ri&st should be made rather
low and on a level. A roost that
Rants causes the fowls to crowd to-
gethed upon the higher poles, and
by pushing one another off injures,
usually the best laying hens.
Indlrklnal LSying Nests.
It is often desirable to record the
number of eggs laid by Indlvdual
’owls. In the illustration is shown
he method adopted by the Maine
Ration. The boxes, which have no
ops, are arranged in cases In groups
if four and slide In and out like
drawers. They may, of course, be
used singly by simply providing a
cover for each box. When a hen has
laid, the nest is pulled part way out
or the cover lifted, as the case may
be; and the hen removed. Each hen
has a band bearing a number at
tached to her leg and the eggs be
numbered to correspond.
Care of the Fowls,.
Eggs are what we want, they
mean profit; so treat the henB well,
keep them warm and well fed and
they will show their appreciation In
return.
Why not have the poultry feed-fn
the poultry house or near when the
weather is bad?
Give plenty of water, laying fowls
require It and on very cold days the
chill should be taken off.
Keep the henB active, a lazy hen is
never a laying one. Cut straw, hay
or dry leaves should he scattered on
the floor of the run and; grain feed
should be thrown In this,, so that the
hens will be kept scratching.
Although the fowls need the fresh
air and sunshine, they should net.be
allowed to go out doors while there
Is snow on the ground or in any way
be exposed to raw, windy weather.
The result would be a loss of eggs.
Laying hens need something to
; take the place of the bugs they pick
up during the summer. Cut bone
answers this purpose very nicely.
I Meat of some kind is a, necessity
for the best results with laying hens.
I Remember, air the poultry house
every day and also keep It clean. It
is as necessary as feeding the fowls.
The U. S. Department of Agrioul-
ture has taken up the Btudy of the
various kinds of wood, and experi
ments will be conducted - In the use
of wood for street paving.
A kick or a blow or a bad scare
will often throw a nervous Jersey
pit her feed and milk for days.

GREAT MODELLING SALE
Beginning Saturday, June 2nd and Continuing
Throughout the Month.
The most PowerfuLand resourceful event ever held in all
North Carolina. It is a sale with a reason—a reason so potent
that it will make it a trade movement without precedent or par
allel in this state—and here’s the reason:
We intend to newly lit up the entire store. It will be a
dusty time when the carpenters get to work—and the dust will
ruin the goods. So we intend to close them out at “any old price”
rather than have them a total loss—therefore, prices have been
cut to the quick—startling reductions of one third, one fourth,
and in some cases one half from regular prices prevail, offering
bargains hitherto unheard of in

Republican County Convention.
MOCKSVILLE, N. C. JUNE 7, 1906.
THE CONVENTION.
Saturday, June 2nd, a citizen ox
our town on going home for dinner,
met his wife on the porch, about the
first question asked, was “what was
the bell ringing for, was there a
fire?” No, just a burial this ever-
sng. "Who?” said she. Why, the
Democratic party. The little son
who was standing near, taking it all
in, spoke up anxiously: “Papa, is it
dead?” Yes, mv son, it’s been dead
for several years, but the people
have been so busy enjoying Repub
lican prosperity that they have not
had time to bury it, but the
carcus has become such a great
nuisance that our Democratic friends
have concluded to put it out of sight
anee and for all.
HON. T. S. ROLLINS.
The resignation of Hon. Thomas
S. Rollins as Republican State chair
man came as a surprise to many, al
though it was not unlooked for by
those who had watched the course
of events closely. Mr. Rollins has
met his crit>cs squarely and has re
signed from his exalted position to
promote party harmony. Now let
those who opposed him sacrifice as
much and prove themselves as loyal.
This is an opportune time for all
differences to be amicably settled
and join in a rational and well con
certed charge on the ranks of the
common enemy.—Bulletin.
A convention of' the Republicans
of Davie County is hereby called to
meet at the court house in the town \
of Mocksville, N. C. on Monday, the
2nd day of July 1906, for the pur
pose of electing delegates to the
State, Senatorial, Congressional, and
Judicial Conventions. The prima

The election of Hon. Spencer B.

Republican in the State. Judge
Adams is able, energetic and loyal,

manner. We bespeak for him the
undivided and hearty support of the
whole party.—Bulletin.
LYNCH1NGS.
The lynching of Johnson, at
Wadesboro, nearly two weeks ago,
is a most lamentable affair, and dis
graceful in the extreme. Our peo
ple have not been so shocked: in some
time. It is almost as bad eis tl.e
Percy Jones murder at Wilson, and
shows that lawlessness is still rife
in our land.
Louisiana has just pulled off
lynching’ also, and both parties were
white men. When men band them
selves together to commit such
crimes, it makes the IaWabiding citi
zens think that it’s only a short step
from lynching a bad man to that of
a good man. The element which
makes up the lynching party, would,
if they had a personal grievance a-
gainst the best citizen in the com
munity lynch him also. The men
who commit crime and defy the law,
arc no resptctors of persong. The
other night in Alabama a good citi
zen was found dead on his front
porch, where he had been called out
and shot down by an assassin. This
business has got to stop, and the on
ly way to stop it, is to punish the
murderers— the lynchers. The Gov
ernor has had Judge Neal to go to
Wadesboroandl6 of the lynchers
have fecsxi arrested and bound over
in bonds of $5000 each to appear at
the next term of. Union County
court. We will see whether justice
will be meted out to them before we
condemn any one connected with the
enforcement of the law. We hope
that the majesty of the law will be
upheld and vindicated. No. 11 Caro
lina can’t afford to condone such
flrgrant violations of its laws.
Kerosene for Poultry Uses.
Kerosene is invaluable around
poultry farm. It is a simple rem< d/
for many troubles. Put it on the
roosts frequently; it will keiep the
lice in check. Dilute it with sweet
oil (about one-third) and inject in
nostrils, roof of mouth and comers
of eyes if your fowls have colds,
scaley legs are cured with it if prop
erly applied, and an internal dose
will help in many cEtses. An easy
w iy to apply kerosene to legs and
feet of fowls to destroy the insects
which cause the excr jscences which
s.metimes appear is to fill an empty
can two-thirds full of water pour
two or three tablespoonfuls of kero-
s ne in the water,- and dip the feet
and legs cf the effected fowls there
in Two or three treatments will
prove effective.—Ex.
A Brighter D. y Adawning.
One of the encouraging signs of
the times is to see scholarly and edu
cated men breaking the bonds of
predjudice and stepping out from
old party lines, free men—with con
victions of their own and the cour
age to express them. It is said that
wise men sometimes change their
views, but a fool never d* es. We
have had many striking examples in
this State recently of able, coura
ge >us men changing their political
view's and joining the opposite par
ty. It is no longer considered a
high crime to change ones politics
when honestly convicted that opes
former attachments were wrong,
we are glad to see that men are
thinking and that after they have
arrived at a conclusion are not afraid
to express it.—Bulletin.
Fowls Ior Home Use.
A small flock will prove more
profitable, In proportion to numbers,
than a large one. Tbis enables those
who live on small areas to procure
eggs at nominal cost. The same
amount of food given to a pig and a
flocks of hens for comparison will
give better results with the fowls than
with the pig, to say nothing of the
fact that the flesh of poultry is su
perior to that of the hog, while
greater cleanliness is also secured.
There is no good reason why every
suburban resident should not keep a
Bmall flock of fowls, whether his
asea is large or small.
Salt Is as essential to the borse as
Is to other stock, and should be kept
within reach or put In the feed once
a day.
Oyster Shells and Grit.
Grlt In some form is essential to
ducks and should be kept before
them at all times, says Farmer’s Bul
letin. Many overlook this fact and
do not seem to understand that it is
of as much value to them as it
13 to chickens. The sand used
In the mashes tends to supply a
certain amount of grinding material
or grit.to them, but does not fully
satisfy them for digesting their food.
On a farm where more than ten
tlio -sand birds are raised anniually,
and where disease is practically un
known, It was noted that In every
pen there was a box of grit and a box
of crushed Oyster shells. This ralrer
states that he considers grit and
oyster shells an absolute necessity
for ducks, and he attributes the
healthy appearance of his stock to it.
Ills birds eat it freely and the supply
is never allowed to run out.
The Need of Ashes.
Be sure that the fowls have ashes
and dry dirt to duBt themselves In.
If moisture packs the dusting places
add more ashes, and stir the ground
up to loosen it. This is very Impor
tant for the health of the poultry.
They need to dust themselves even
In cold weather. See that they have
the opportunity.
Do not turn the churn too rapidly,
as it often prevents thorough mixing
of the cream. Rapid motion of the
Churn keeps the cream close to the
side by centrifugal force, and there
Is very little mixing In consequence.

Surest and Guickest Gure for all THROAT and LUHG TROUBLES, or MONEY BACK.
A few weeks ago at Haverstraw,
N. Y., an awful disaster occurred.
One dark night, while a furious
storm was raging, the inhabitants
were aroused by the noise of crash
ing timbers, the shrieks of humVn
beings, the jar and tremble of the
earth, and rushed into the streets to
dDcover that a row of houses had
disappeared into a gravel pit 100 feet
deep. For years the laborers in that
pit, like military sappers and min
ers had been undermining the place
and the Inevitable had happened. A
landslide had occurred and almost
without warning a score of human
beings were caught in the debris of
eaith and stone and shattered build
ings, and were either Instantly
crushed to death or slowly tortured
out of existence by the fires which
swept through the ruins. And it all
came to pass because those houses
were-built upon the sand.
Off the coast of England lies a
ledge of rock which every day is
submerged by the flood tide of the
sea. That rocky peril Is right In the
path of the commerce of the world,
and many a vessel has been wrecked
upon their jagged points. Many at
tempts were made to mark the spot
tn vain. Winstanley built a wooden
lighthouse upon It 100 feet high, but
a great storm swept it and its archi
tect away. Rudyerd built another,
90 feet high, but it was consumed by
fire. Sineaton constructed the next of
stone dovetailed into the solid rock,
but he weakened the foundation In
its construction and It was thought
best to make a new attempt In an
other location. Sir James Douglass
In 1882 completed the famous Eddy-
stone lighthonse which throws its
light over those stormy waters for
nearly 20 miles, and the startled
waves roll against It In vain, for It is
founded upon the rock.
In building operations the foun
dation is everything. The founda
tion of the government building In
Philadelphia was allowed to remain
for a whole year after being laid that
it might have time to settle or dis
close any defects, before a stone was
laid for the superstructure. Many an
otherwise beautiful edifice has been
marred and disfigured because the
foundation was poorly laid In the be
ginning. Castles In the air can be
built of clouds, but walls to shelter
human beings must be upheld with
ponderous granite blocks.
And what is true of buildings is
true of those who inhabit them. The
world is full of damaged, scarred
and twisted men who. built their
lives upon the sand. There was no
granite of principle and character In
their foundations. The whole sub
structure of their being was of the
earth, earthy, and when the rain
descended, and the floods came, and
the winds blew down came their
house.
Such people have no capacity of
resistance for they were not taught
and disciplined In the rugged vir
tues In early life. Society Is some-'
‘times startled with the crashing Into
ruin of some hitherto respectable
character, and is unable to account
for it. But if careful investigation Is
made it will be discovered that there
was something wrong -with the un
derpinning. Far back In youth there
was some scamp work that went Into
the foundation, and when long years
after the strain came on that point,
It gave way’and the whole structure
collapsed in ruin.
The leaning tower of Pisa’ may be
a curiosity, but as a specimen of
architecture It is a monstrosity. So
there are men who have about them
many attractive qualities, whose
personality Is so conspicuously out
of plumb, as to impress the behold
ers with what they lack more than
with what they possess. They so
emphatically sag that it is a con
spicuous fault.
It may seem to the young men
and women of to-day that it is old-
fogyish to be so particular about
foundation work. Those who Insist
upon laying deep and strong the sub
structure of physical, mental, and
moral development, are counted as
slow, out-of-date, behind the times.
They suppose it to be possible to
build a human life structure of
wood and hay and stubble. Because
the sun shines, and the sky is blue,
and there are no evidences of a
change of weather, optimistic youth
sees no need of being so particular.
A tropical summer house will do, a
tent on the beach will be so roman
tic.
But the Man of Galilee knew what
he was talking, about when he said
that every foundation will be tested
If It is possible to undermine it, it
will be done. If it can be weakened
there are plenty of foes to do it.
Storms of trouble and fierce winds of
temptation-, and tempests of passion
will hurl themselves against that
structure as sure as life exists. It
will be too late then to attend to
the foundation work. The quick
sand will wash out inevitably in that
hour.
There can be no greater satisfac
tion than to feel the storms of life
I hurling themselves upon the house
of the soul, while the individual

IF YOU BUY
HERE
You’re- Safe!
It’s a great idea—when, a
merchant asks Ten Dollars •’
for a Suit—the buyer of
fers Six and the Merchant
“ takes him up.”
The question is,. what
does “he” get?
If the “he” means the
Merchant, HE ‘ gets the
•man’s Six Dollars and his
suspicion for evermore.
If the “he” is the man.
He Gets Left!
If that Mei-chant could
afford to sell the garment
for less than he asked,
why did he not name the
lowest price at once? Is
that Merchant reliable?
Can you afford to risk his judgment? He certainly takes
quite a load on his shoulder, when he attempts to carry trade
that way.
We guarantee that you will pay here-fully as much as your-
neighbor—and just as surely you’ll pay rjust as little. We
further guarantee you your money bado.on demand, if you
find your purchase unsatisfactory when you get home.
If You Buy Here You’re Safe.
If you are interested in Spring and Summer Suits we want
to show you our handsome lines at
$10, $12.50, $15.00 OR $25.00.
If you pay less elsewhere, you’ll get less value.

Over to the Republican

Special to DailyIndustrial News.
Hendersonville, May 14.—The fol
lowing letter has been received by
R. H. Staton, chairman of the Re
publican executive con mitt ae of
Henderson county:
Hendersonville N. C., May 12, ’06
To Hon. R. H. Staton,
Chairman Republican Executive
Committee of Henderson County.
Sir:—On this afternoon I paid
poll tuxes an I they amounted to
more than lour dollars and fifty
cents. Now I have been voting the
Democratic ticket and I have read
the letter of my friend Hon. Chas.
French Toms, and -I see what he
says and I approve of it, how the
Democrats run the state and in the
future I am going to vote for the
party that favors low taxes, good
schools and looks after the interest
of the working man. As the Demo
cratic party has failed to do this, as
my poll tax amply shows, I shall in
the future vote with Mr. Tomsin the
Republican party. Take due notice
of this fact and count me with the
b<Jys.
Respectfully,
Hamilton Sexton .
CARNEGIE’S LAMENT.
Mr. Andrew Caruegie, in a let
ter to the editor apropos of tome
verses wlikh appeared iu tb<
Dunfemline Press, reiterates his
doctrine ot the fallacy of wealth.
In Si e iking of the poet he saj s:
“ He is l>oth philosopher and poet,
but he cannot knoiv, as I do, hov
trilling are the advantages ol
wealth. He has to imagiuc one
Bide. I have lived both, aud have
learned that—
‘ If happiness has not its seat
And center in the breast
We may be wise, or rich or great,
But never can be blessed.
Beyond a competence for old age.
and that need not be great, aud
may be very small, wea l I Ii lessens
rather than increases humam hap
piness. Milliooa res who laugh
are rare. This is just as it should
be, and ‘R;. O.’ has done a bit ol
good work (better lhaii most ser
mens) iu putting a great truth s<
vividly before„us.
‘•I hope he has more of such ore
to smelt.”—Loudon Mail.
IRVING’S ADVICE TO LAWYERS.
Sir Henry Irving was once the
guest of honor at. a Iawyei’s ban
qi;et in New Yoi k. In the course
of a graceful address he said:
•‘You, gentlemen, have givei.
me most helpful advice in the an
of acting; will you permit uie U
give you, in return, a piece of ad
vice regarding your profession!
‘•My advice, then, is that yoii
m ike your cross-examination Ietf-
rigorous, less harsh. What is tin
good of treatiug au honest, seusi
tive witness in the witness ttm d as
though he were a sneak thiol'?
I confess that I am not iu sytn
pathy with harshness in cross ex
amination, aud when ever I heai
ot a witness taming on au' over
bearing lawyer my heart rejoices
‘‘My heart rejoiced last week.
A young man in my company was-
a witness iu a case of robbery. EU
iiad seen a thiet snatch a young
^Ipl’s pocketbook and make off.
“ Well, the thic.'o awy:r cross-
examined my young frieud shame
fully, lie roared at him, raved ai
him.
“ And at what hour did all this-
happen?’ the lawyer, sneering,
a-iked toward the end of his exam
ination.
“I think , my friend began,
tint he was at once interrupted.
“ We don’t care anything about
what you think,’ said the iawyt-r
with a sort of contempt.
“Don’t you want to hear what I
tliiukf said iiiy yonug friend,
■uildly.
,‘Ceitainly not,’ the lawyei
roared.
“Theu,’ said my friend. ‘I may
.is well step down - from the box.
I’m not a lawyer.- I can’t talk
without thinking.”

To - call such a place as Jacob
Dodson’s "The Good Cheer” Is cer
tainly as great a ,He as ever was in
vented, and to allure summer board
ers by the title is to obtain money
under false pretences. "When I ar
rived at the place it was almost
dark. I had sent word to have a
room prepared, but, not knowing
just what train I could make from
the city, had not been met at the
station. As I turned in. at the gate
way, I. noticed that the place had a
desolate air and that the lawn In
front was wholly free from the usual
sprinkling of summer hoarders.
Inside the loneliness was even
more apparent; and as I sat down to
the cold supper my host prepared, I
saw that there was but one other
place laid at the table.
"Haven’t many boarders yet, have
you, Mr. Dodson?”
The old man seemed a trifle em
barrassed, but answered civilly
enough,
“We ain’t filled up for,, the sum
mer yet. Folks mostly comes here
In August.”
He was not inclined to talk, and
the meal was finished almost In si
lence.
"You will show me to my room'
now, if you please.” I had not cared
to go upstairs before supper.
By this time it was quite dark in
side the house, although the set
ting sun still cast its last purplish
rays over the western sky, tinging
with a peculiar haze the dark clouds
that predicted a storm. I noticed the
great cracks and cob-webbed cor
ners of the old hall, and the weird
shadows cast by the smoky lamp.
The place was cheerless and for
saken enough to make me shudder;
the silence seemed to be broken not
even by the man’s footsteps. I
looked around quickly. He was walk
ing on his toes!
What nonsense! Why couldn’t
tfie man say something? It was bad
enough to get into such a hole, but
to walk along a dark hallway, the
light of a smoky kereosene lamp
Casting horrible shadows on the
wall, and a silent, morose looking
man tiptoeing stealthily along beside
me, was more than I wanted.
"I’ll get out of here to-morrow,”
I said to myself. Then aloud I added,
“Is there any boating or fishing near
here, Mr Dodson.?"
I spoke rather loudly. It seemed
a harmless sort of question, but the
man held up his hand warnlngly.
"Hush! Not here. We must be
quiet. W ait until we are in the
room.”
While still whispering these
words, he pushed open the door of a
room and motioned for me to go In ,
holding the lamp high to light nay
way.
"Mr. Johnson has the next room,
sir, and he is very particular not to
be disturbed after tea, so I have to
be careful.”
“Is Mr. Johnson ill, or is he
crazy?”
It was more than curiosity marie
me ask, for he had the room next to
mine, and I did not care to be neigh
bor to a madman, with no one else
within call.
“Oh, I guess he’s harmless,” Dod
son answered with a shrug, “but he
has queer notions, and he makes
such a fuss when he’s mad, I don’t
get in his way.”
He refused to say anything more,
and indeed looked as if he thought
he had already said too much. Then
he left me* to my own reflections
and rather troubled thoughts.
What sort of place was this, any
how? Had -I wandered into some
thing disreputable, unsafe? There
was noise from the next room, how
ever, and what I had heard was not
enough to disturb me long, so I
, took a volume of detective stories
from my grip, and settled down to
read. There was nothing further to
alarm me, and about eleven I jumped
• into bed, and long before half-past
was sound asleep.
It must have been a couple- of
hours later when I was awakened
by a sound of voices In the next
room. Had the mysterious Mr. John
son a midnight visitor?
"You might just as well tell ms
what you did with that money,” I
heard a deep voice exclaim, In some
anger, "t can make you, so be
quick.”
"Why do you say that? I never saw
the money. Like as not you have it
yourself.”
It was a woman’s voice that Bald
these words, petulant and sharp; but
the only answer was a smothered
oath, and. then something in deep,
,low tones, which I could not under
stand. I wondered what It all meant,
for I had understood there was but
one occupant of the next room.
Where had the woman come from?
I was unarmed, and the door be
tween the rooms was old, not very
strong, and fastened on my side by
only a small bolt. If there should
be a fight In there, a murder, what
would happen? There was no ap
parent reason why I should be dis
turbed, for it_was probable that (be
lv. 0 in Lno next room were wholly j
unaw|re of my presence; but I did I
not like the sound of things and my |
Imagination ran on, guiding my I
fears. Stepping noiselessly to the j
door, I waited for whatever might I
come next.
The man’s tones' were coaxing
now.
“There, Mary, give if to me like a
good girl, . I’ve always been mighty
good to yer. Tell me where it is. I
need it bad.”
“I see myself!” the woman an
swered scornfully. “You’d lose it
all; don’t I know yer tricks? I’ll
tell the boss on yer, too.”
There was the sound of heavy
footsteps, as the woman’s laugh rang
out coarse and strident, but ending
In a quick gasp. Had he laid hands
upon her throat?
“Tell Jacobs, will yer? D’yer
mean that?”
“No, no. Jack, no! Oh, let me go,
I won’t tell, oh. I promise, let go!”
The man took no heed.
"Give me the money!”
“I tSll you I haven’t it.”
There was silence for a moment,
then the noise of a falling chair and
a thud as if the woman were being
hurled roughly to the floor. W hat
should I do? I thought of going for
help, but there were no other board
ers in the house, and I had no idea
where Dodson slept, or whether he
were not himself mixed up in the af
fair. As I waited, undecided, I could
hear the slam of a box cover and a
noise as of a drawer being hastily
pulled out, as though the man were
searching for the money, then in
desperate tones,—
"See here, I’ve fooled long enough,
and I know you’ve got it. Tell me
where it is or I’ll kill you.”
A shriek followed.
“Oh, help, help, he’s murdering—
help, help!”
At first I thought of making for
the window and jumping the few
feet to the ground. I had no desire
to get mixed up In -some low, cut
throat struggle In a lonely farm
house, and pay for my interference,
perhaps with fiiy life. Neither could
I hear the woman’s cry for help and
leave her to the mercy of that brute
In the next room. I was In almost
utter darkness, but I remembered
that Dodson had placed my lamp
upon a slender but heavy looking
mahogany stand by my side. Seizing
this stand for a weapon, I quietly
unfastened the bolt and pushed open
the door, between the two rooms,
which proved to be unfastened on
the other side.
I had gauged from the sounds the
positions of the Vomas and her as
sailant, and was prepared to bring
my weapon down upon the mur
derer’s head. I • rushed in swiftly,
for fear my deed should come too
late, and I should find , the woman
dead or dying. W hat really met my
eyes aimost stunned me, and I
stopped short with a foolish,—
“I beg your pardon, I thought—”
A mild young man of about twen
ty-eight, clean shaven, In every
way a perfect gentleman, half re
clining in a huge upholstered arm
chair. His eyes were dreamy, there
was a smile of satisfaction around
his mouth as he watched the smoke
of his cigar curl slowly upward from
his right hand. He looked up as I
entered, startled at the sight of such
a visitor, and arose instantly. At the
same moment came another of those
ghastly shrieks right at my elbow,—
“He’s killing me! Help!”
I turned quickly, but the man
stepped carelessly to the table, a
comprehending wail* lighting ,up his
rather genial features.
“I will turn this off; it must an
noy you. I had no idea there wad
any one else In the house, I have
been the only boarder for so long. I
beg your pardon if this has dis
turbed you.”
He motioned me to a chair, and
went on with an amused smile, talk
ing to put me at ease.
“It is a hobby of mine to prepare
my work in this way for the stage.
Perhaps our friend Dodson has told
you I am eccentric. He thinks I am
a fool, but this is my worst offense.
I have the plays rehearsed before a
phonograph before sending them in,
a- sort of proof-hearing, you see."
The phonograph, half-hidden by
books and papers which strewed the
table, was all that remained of the
murder of Mary!—Waverley Maga
zine.

R. N. ITackett has at last succeed
ed in securing the nomination for
Congress in this district after manj
years of fruitless effort spent in
seeking it. He made a dirty speech
of acceptance to the convention and
boasted of how he expected to adni-
liilate Blackburn. Wonder if he
thought of the bullet he so neatly
dodged in this town not a century
ago, for some of his own rascality,
■when he was charging Blackburn
with high crimes and misdemeanors':
The people of this district will know
you better, Dick, when the smoke
has cleared away.—Wiikesboro Pa
triot.
It is to be hopod that we will have
a decent campaign, on the issues,
this year, but from the “dirty
speech made by Dick Hackett, it it
not likely. Mr. Hackett will find
that he has made a record, and from
the above it seems that it is not an
enviable one; Mr. Blackburn can
take care of himself, ws dare say.

Mr. Lester, a Congressman from
Ga., fell through a skylight last
week in Washingtou, and has since
died. Already there are three Dem
ocrats after his place, before the old
man' is buried; and yet our Demo
cratic friends say that Republicans
are great lovers of pie.
We understand that some of our
people have said, that the Postmas
ter is paid for his work, therefore;
he should keep the post office open
on Bundayr. Un the same theory the
merchants should keep open their
stores, in order to get an extra days
work out of their clerks. Consisten
cy is a nare jewel, and it adorns
handsomely those who don’t even
work six day's out of seven. The
Postmaster has striven since his in
cumbency', to give the people good
service, and, if Sunday mails are
neceasary, and very desirable, and
the majority of our- people want it,
we have no serious objection; we
have read something like this: “Six
DAYS SHALT THOU LABOR AND DO ALL
THY WORK, BUT THE SEVENTH IS THE
LORD’S THY GOD’S; IN IT" THOU
SHALT DO NO WORK,” &C-”
Asking the Government to compel
us to violate that commandment,
shows the consistency of some peo
ple.
Be Patient With the Old.
There is nothing more ’ beautiful,
in this world than to obseive the
tenderness of some girls toward
their aged relatives. Dear grand
mother cannot thread her needle:
so easily as she used to, and it
sensitive on the subject, and does-
not like to be too obviously help
ed, to have attention called to hei
failing ey esight, which she so much
i-egrets and does not like to admit
There are two ways of meeting the
dilficiiity. Maltie, a kind-hearted
girl without much tae‘, will ex
claim, “Oh, gran,, what perfect
nonsense for you to. fuss over that
needle! You know you cannot
Hnd the hole where the thread
should go in; your eyes are ton
old. Give me the thing; I ’ll Mt read

most excellent, but the old lady

simply Ihieads a dozen needles
and leaves them already for grand
ina in her needle-book, saying
ileasautly, “ It saves so much

waiting.”—Harper's Round table.
DAMAGE DONE BY ANTS.
Vaet Armies Travel Over Mexico In
Straight Dines.
Hordes of blank affSs do much dam
age in the Tuxpam district, according
to a report brought to Tampico by
Enrique Marfii, a prominent ranchman,
who lives near the town of Tuxpam.
The ants travel in great columns, and
seetn to be controlled by leaders, who
manage the great armies witlf mili
tary skill. The ants are known among
the Mexicans as homegas. Describing
the depredations of the pest, Mr. Mar-
fiel said.
‘Without exaggeration, there are
millions and millions of ants in these
droves. Theye are apt to come at any
time, and they travel in a straight line,
from which nothing will turn th-eim.
They swarm over anything in their
path, and kill every living thing that
does not get out of their way.
To relate my own experience, it
was along In the aftenoon, and I was
superintending some work near the
house, when our attention was at
tracted by the strange movements of
numerous insects and animals, which
appeared to be fleeing In a certain di
rection. This was the first indication
we had of the approach of the ants,
which we soon afterward saw coming
In a long line, the farther end of which
was out of sight, and presenting a
front of 16 feet
“They were headed for the house,
and we" ran there to get things in as
good shane as possible, as ene of the
Indians said they would go all over the
house. And he was nob mistaken.
They went on the roof, through the
tracks, everywhere, and In five min
utes the houi*5 was alive with them.
saw them , devour a large spider
which had the temerity to stand In
their way and fight them. We hum
id paper, used hot waiter and gasoline,
beat tin pans, and did everything else,
but all to no avail, and after being
bitten once or twice we beat a re
treat. .
“After 10 minutes the ants began to
leave the house, without having done
any particular damage, and they left
In the same orderly line as that in
which they ban approached it, each suc
ceeding column going over the house
as it ’ same to it. and then following
Ihe leaders off. They did no special
damage. The creatures traveled with
remarkable rapidity, considering their
Bisse; I should say at lease as fast
as a man can walk, and it took over
half an hour to pass.
“This is my only experience with
’.h e ants, and so far as I could Eeie they
did no great harm, though the Indians
seem to be In great fear of them, and
told me that they would often destroy
entire crops. No one could tell me the
meaning or special time of these mi
grations.
“A friend told me that on one oc
casion he tied a saddle horse on tne
plains while he walked some distance.
During his absence a horde of ante
killed the horse, stripped the bones
clean, and even tore away a part of
the leather of the saddle.
“There seems to be no successful
way of fighting the pest.”
LIFE’S WORTHY PURPOSE.
I live for those who love me,
For those I know are true;
For the heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit too;
For the human ties that bind me,
For the task my God assigned me,
For the bright hopes left behind me,
And the good that I can do,
I live to learn their story
Who suffered for my sake;
To emulate their glory
And follow in their wake; -
Bards, martyrs, patriots, sages,
The noble of all ages,
Whose deeds crown history’s pages,
And time’s great volume make.
I live to hail the season,
By gifted minds foretold,
When man shall live by reason,
And not alone for gold;
When man to man united,
And every wrong thing righted,
The whole world shall be lighted
As Eden was of old.
I live for those who love me,
With all that is divine, ,
To feel that there is union
’Twixt nature’s heart and mine
To profit by affliction,
Reap truths from fields of fiction,
Grow wiser from conviction,
Fulfilling God’s design.
I five for those who love me,
For those that know me true,
For the heaven that smiles above me
And awaits my spirit too;
For the wrongs that need resistance.
For the cause that needs assistance.
For the future in the distance,
And the good that I can do.

IF YOU BUY
HERE
You’re Safe!
It’s a great idea—when a
merchant asks Ten Dollars
for a Suit—the buyer of
fers Six and the Merchant
“takes him up.”
The question is, what
does “he” get?
If the “he” means the
Merchant, HE gets the
man’s Six Dollars and his
suspicion for evermore.
If the “he” is the man.
He Gets Left!
If that Merchant could
afford to sell the garment
for less than he asked,
why did he not name the
lowest price at once? Is
that Merchant reliable?
Can you afford to risk his judgment? He certainly takes
quite a load on his shoulder, when he attempts to carry trade
that way.
We guarantee that you will pay here fully as much as your
neighbor—and just as surely you’ll pay just as little. We
further guarantee you your money back on demand, if you
find your purchase unsatisfactory when you get home.
If You Buy Here YouYe Safe.
If you are interested in Spring and Summer Suits we want
I to show you our handsome lines at
$10. $12.50, $15.00 OR $25.00.
If you pay less elsewhere, you’ll get less value.

Too Busy to Grow.
A small office boy, who had work
ed in the same position for two
years on a salary of $3 a week, final
ly plucked up enough courage to ask
for an increase in wages. ' :
“How much more would you - like
to have?” inquired his employer.
“Well,” answered the lad, “I
don’t think $2 more a v/eek would
be too much.”
“Well, you seem to me a rather
small boy to be earning $5 a week,”
remarked his employer.
“I suppose I do. I know I’m
small for my age,” the boy explain
ed. “but to tell you the truth, since
I’ve been here I haven’t had time to
grow.”
He got the raise.—James H. Lam
bert, in St. Nicholas.

Whan the Lion Cage Broke.
While a menagerie was being carried
from St. Etienne to Roanne, in France
a lion escaped from his cage, which
had been broken accidentally, and
bounded to the platform at Varrdrang-
es. He was hurt, but rushed down the
line, upsetting the station master as
be went, disappearing In the darkness.
With four armed guards aboard, a To-
comotive was sent in chase. Before
his pursuers got near him the Hon had
traveled three miles, and had come
to the cottage of a signalman.
$n the house the signalman lay
asleep. His wife had gone out to
look at the signals. She heard a deep
growl and saw the animal’s eyes flash
ing from the darkness. “I snatched
the lamp from the gate and dashed it
In the brute’s face,” she said. “Then
I heard the roar of an oncoming train,
some shots and I fainted.” The lion
had been shot.
While this was happening another
lion had Jumped from the damaged
cage at Roanne. He was shot by gen
darmes, who killed also the two lions
remaining in the cage, as no one
dared to go near it The loss to the
menagerie owner was $10,000.

A Reception.
On the evening of June the 8th,
as the soft shades of the evening
sun were gathering over the coun
try home of Mr. and Mrs. W. . B.
Naylor, the wedding party of Mr.
and Mis. John A Naylor was
welcomed by friends and relatives
who were there assembled. At
six o’clock the bride and bride
groom were accompanied to the di
ning room by a number of the
guests and a delicious 'repast was
served. A most enjoyable even
ing was spent in this home where
we have all spent so many pleas
ant hours.
At intervals we were furnished
with music which enlivened our
spirits of love and friendship. In
one piece which was rendered by
the bride the sweet low voice and
careful rendering told its own sto
ry of refinement and culture.
The stay of the bride and groom
with us has been pleasant indeed,
and we extend to them au invita
tion to come often. *
We need not mention the zuany
admirable qualities of the one who
has spent the greater part of his
life with us, foi- wherever John is
knovn he is praised for his strength
of character and of intellect in an
unusually high degree. His true
worth and manliness are known
wherever he goes.
The bride, though a compara
tive stranger to most of us, im
pressed us as being a lady of fine
intellectual abilities, one who has
cultivated the talents given^ her.
Nature’s lavish hand has, freely
bestowed on her many personal
charms. We feel that this young
couple has found in each other a
heart’s true mate, aud hope that
the termination of this union may
be as bright and happy as the be
ginning. We wish for them the
path that leads them on through-
life be strewn with roses. As they
patiently travel the path of. life,

M AGISTRATE A BLOCK.ADER
Sentenced to O ne Y ear in Prison and
$200 Fine.
In the Federal Court Monday, L.
H. Boykin, of Jqhnston County, was
sentenced to serve one year in the
Federal prison at Atlanta, and to pay
a fine of $200 and cost for running a
blockade distillery. Boykin.. was a
D^nocratic magistrate in O’Neal’s
township, Johnston County, and was
off on official business when he was
arrested, by Deputy Marshal James
Jordan. Prior to this time Boykin’s
bleckdade distillery was destroyed
by Deputy Collector J. P. H. Adhms.
Wonder why the Democratic sher
iff of Johnston had not learned that
his deputy was running a blockade
distillery? He had the same power
to destroy this blockade distillery as
the Itevenue officers.—Exchange.
Democratic papers are not saying
much about their officers being found
guilty of violating the laws of the
land.' At the same term of court a
Baptist deaeon was found guilty of
running a “blind tiger” both were
convicted in the Federal Court.
Strange things are going on in North
Carolina'.

Comparing these figures with the
statistics of the past we -have the
following statement of the growth
of the textile industry in the South:
Capital
Invested
$ 21,000,000
60,000,000
112,837,000
230,000,000
Since 1900 tin's industry as repre
sented by the number of spindles
ind capital invested, has more than
doubled, and but for the scarcity of
labor which has prevailed for the
past year or two it is quite probable
chat at least 1,000,000 more spindles
would have been added to the total
in the South. The surplus of popu
lation seeking employment, so pro
nounced up to 1900, has now been
changed, and in place of a surplus
we have a shortage. Throughout
the South there is a cry for more la
bor. This is voiced from the cotton
mill region by nearly 100 letters
published this week in the Manufac
turers’ Record from cotton manu
facturers telling of the great short
age of labor and how seriously theii
industry is thus handicapped. While
some mills are under construction
and old mills are to some extent be
ing enlarged, we have reached s
point where there can be no great
increase in cotton mill building un
til we have solved the question oi
now to ' provide a more abundant
supply of labor.

Care of Poultry.
Much of-the trouble with over iai
hens would be avoided if the pullets
and hens were fed separately.
Hens will get too fat to lay on ^he
same food, both as regards quant,
and quality, that pullets do wel
Where both are hougqcMiil
giving each different fej'_ p<j,
easily done; Ibut it cah’»^e "
In this way: Coops of lath,
different sized doors, could b(
Ized, the one with larger stz^d
for the hens. To be sure the pullets
could enter this door, but as a rule,
the pullets do not crowd In With the
he-s, and if they were the first to the
table, open their door only, until
they are In their coop, and fIhen close
them In while the hens ,enter their
own room. Chicks are about as'easy
to learn their feeding places as are
pigs; In a few days they are apt to
learn the dbors. Or they could be
confined to the coop a few days if
slow to learn.
Have a long V shaped trough In
each coop to place the feed In. If de
sired give the same quality to each,
but. give a third more to the pullets;
food for a dozen pullets will be
enough for fifteen or sixteen hens,
and pullets can utilize inore corn to
advantage than can hens.
As to how much to each flock, or
each dozen, no one can tell for an
other poultry yard, unless they knew
exactly the amount to be foraged
during the day, the breed, and the
condition of the flock, also. the
warmth of their quarters.
There are doubtless handler ways
of feeding separately, when both are
housed together, and If any occurs to
you,don’t keep It to yourself; send it
to the Farmer.
Another thing, it is well to have
two dust boxes, if there is room at
all, for sometimes the bossy ones will
monopolize the hath so long, that
the more timid ones will be cheated
of their bath. Where there is a very
bossy hen.it is-as well to markether,
for she will boss the others until
they will be too timid to make up
their minds to lay,— Farmer’s Voioe-
The Marriage km».
In India only, of all the countries of
the world, is the muoh-talked-of mar
riage knot ever actually tied. Among
the Brahmins marriage is a matter
of purchase, and the would-be bride
groom is liable almost till the last
moment -to be ousted by a higher bid
der; but, if no suitor appears willing
to give the father a more valuable
present, he leads his daughter to the
first offer himself, saying,—
"I have no longer anything to do
with you; I give you up to the power
of another.”
Then the bridegroom laces the tali,
the insignia of marriage, round her
neck, and secures it with a knot. The
tall consists of a piece of ribbon
with a gold bead suspended upon it.
The knot it is that legally binds the
wife- to her -husband and makes the
marriage indissoluble, for Brahmilns
do not recognize divorce.
