Side Lights on Happiness.
The habit of happiness can be
acquired. .
Begin each morning by resolv
ing to enjoy something during the
day. It may be in the sunrise,
a child's play and laughter, or a
pretty touch of the landscape..
Learn to look in each experi-
.
ence- which comes lor a little
pleasure. You will be surprised
to find how many things that you
thought commonplace and rather
disagreeable possess either an
amusing or instructive side.
No matter how disagreeable a
duty is, some happiness may be
gotten out of it, even if it only
the thought that by your efforts
you are getting it out of the way.
If the duty must be repeated
continually you can get some
comfort as well as happiness out
of the fact that you are cultivat
ing your patience and strength
of wiU power, both of which are
essential to happiness or success.

response to an urgent invitation
from the authorities of Washing

Governor Hey wood, of South
Carolina, who is an alumnus of
the University, is in Lexington
relative to the Lee centennial
nrwmsnt of which he consented
to "become the bead. In view of
Governor Heywood'a acceptance
it has been decided 4o broaden the
scope of the movement, which is
a plan to suitably commemorate
the centennial of General Lee's
birthday. It is proposed to make
the movement national in scope
and an advisory committee will
be at once organized including
sub-committees . in the various
states,. It is proposed to ask the
public for a subscription of $1,-
000,000 which will be used with a
view of broadening the scope of
Washington and Lee University,
not only as an expression of their
admiration of the life and char
acter of General Lee, but as a tes
timonial, more especi ally of
his services in the cause of educa
tion as president of the institu
tion eudowed by Washington and

Her Death Mysterious.
Concord, June 22. Last night
train -No. 29 on the Southern
struck something on the track on
a fill near Harrisburg. The train
was stopped and a search was
made by the engineer, but noth
ing could be found. The agent at
Harrisburg was notified and, ac
companied by a section man
search waB instituted for the ob
ject which the train struck.
About 1 o'clock the body of Miss
Ella Huneycntf, the 16 'ir-old
daughter of Mr. Culv n Hu:;ey
cutt, f Hams-burg, wus found.
Earlier iu the night the girl left
home alone and her father had
been out on the streets inquiring
fcr-her. As soon as her body was
found, he was notified but, strange
to say, hedid not go to view it till
a late hour, in the night. There
seems to be something mysterious
about the death of the young lady
and it is believed by many that
she had been killed and plaod on
the track. Her body was consid
erably bruised, both legs and an
arm being broken. Special to

badly mixed up over me; one said
heart disease; two called it kid

restoring me to perfect health.

REWARD FOR BODY.
Remains of Midshipman Murfin Have not
yet Been Recovered.
Newport News, Va.. June 19
Just before the battleships Ohio,
Iowa, Maine and. Iudiana sailed
from Hampton Roads today for
the Southern drill grounds off the
Virginia capes, an order was post
ed from the flagship, the Ohio,
offering a reward of $50 for the
body of MidshiDman Henry Clay
Murfin, the only one of 11 vie
tims of the ill-fated launch of the
battleship Minnesota, whose re
mains have not been recovered.
The Minnesota remained iu-the
roads, and her boats, with these
of the oruiser Brooklyn, battle
ship Texas aud monitor Minanto
nomah and several government
tugs are still searchiug for the
body, but the absence of the four
battleships cripples the Navy De
partment s facilities and it was
deemed advisable to influence out
siders to joiniu the search.
From Norfolk comes the report
that at the Norfolk Navy yard it
is stated that the body of ordi
nary seaman F. R. Plumblee has
not been found. Before 4ie left

Traits the South Cannot Afford to Lose.'
Are the Old Traits Being Lost?
is the caption of an editorial in
the last issue of The World's Work
relative to the new industrial life
of the South. "It . answers., that
some of the finer thines in the
-
life of the Old South must give
way and are giving way before
tha onward march of industrial
progress. That is one danger that
generally appears in the wake of
commercial progress. Such pro
gress, in its very nature, necessi
tates the leaving behind of some
things that were held dear under
the old regime. It is to be hoped
the new life will not seriously im
pair the reputation for courtesy
and hospitality the South has
throughout the world. This is
ne thing that should be retained
no matter how wealthy this sec
tion may become and we believe
it will be retained. The average
visitor to the South is impressed
by the courtesy and kindly hospi
tality of the people, in some other
sections this courtesy aud hospi
tality do not exist in near the
proportion that they exjst here.
The difference is one of those
things that have always been
creditable to the South. Winston

said truly, there was no placand
that it was very disagreeable to
farmers to come to town, hitch
their stock here and there aud
then be "cussed out" by people
who object to their hitching. He
declared he was going to make
Salisbury and Spencer his market

Sheriff Dorsett returned Fri
day rftght from St. Louis, where
he went to buy horses and he did
not bring any with him. He tells
us that the market is higher than
he ever knew it to be. He saw 31

Will eot Pay Notes 6fven for Washing Ma
chine Rights- Change In Schedule.
Stanly Enterprise. Jane 20th.
J. D.arnhardt, of Richfield,
J R. Moss, of Pennington, have
ads. elsewhere in this issue which
speak for themselves. Each has
given his note to certain washing
machine agents who have been
working this county, and they
came to Albemarle the early part
of the week to take preliminary
steps towards stopping negotia
tion of their notes. Each says he
will contest the matter before he
will take up the notes. Mr. Earn-.
hardt and wife gave their note for
$300. One of the agents, they al
leged, offered to release the note
for $175. Mr. Moss gave two
notes for $250 each. He says the
proposition was made by which
he would be released upon pay
ment of $200 upon the whole.
Both men allege that they have
not been treated right and that
tbey have not received the quid
pio quo. There are several others
iu the county, we are told, who
have mortgaged their all in nav-
ment for washing machine rights
at $500 each, who are very sore
over the deal.
The big blasts at Whitney are
distinctly heard at this point, and
no doubt several miles beyond.
They make the old earth quake
like an earthquake shock. Os
car Wolfe, who works at one of
the large drills, was home to
spend Sunday, and he tells us
that some of the large holes are
bored to the depth of 85 feet, the
diameter of the hole being 4 1-2
and 6 inches. To charge one it
takes from six to twelve "hundred
joints of dynamite. The work of
excavation at the Palmerville endL
of thejarge canal must be carried
to the depth of 80 feet below what
it. is now.
A chauge in the schedule of the
Yadkin railroad has gone into ef

connection in the morning at Sal

close, but give a convenience both
as to mail and passenger service.
