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. M eyers-W estbrook Co.

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 ries will be held in the various town­ ships on Saturday, June 30th at three o’clock. Tiiis 2r.d day of June, 1906. M. D. K imbrough , Chm’n. Rep. Ex. Com. Davie Co. A TEXAS WONDER.

Adams, of Greensboro, as chairman of the Republican State executive committee, to succeed Hon. Thos. S. Rollins resigned, was a wise one and should meet the appsoval of every Republican in the State. Judge Adams is able, energetic and loyal, and we may expect him to serve the party in a conservative and dignified 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 1 smiles at the fury of the blast with ! the calm assurance that the founda- , tlon is Immovably fixed upon rock. ; But In order to'have that comfort at the last good work must be dene at ifeUESfe J List Vour Taxes.

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. WINSTON-SALEM’.

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.

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. —Selected. Notice! The Republican Senatorial .Con­ vention for Ihe 29th.

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.

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.

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'.

Cool as a cu­ cumber, Mr. Wu Ftuveyed tht crowd 'and said gravely, in his per feet English: “If I didn’t know this club Was composed entirely oi gentlemen I should say that you fellows were trying to get m< drunk.” The session ad?onrned very shortly thereafter.—Ex.

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.

Cure for all THBOAI and IiTTHQ TROUB­ LES, or MONEY BACK. 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. ■ — .----------. , Unprofitable W ork.

But we can bring ourselves into the presence of the lovable. We can enter into friendship through the door of Dicipleship. We can learn to love through service.
