The army has just adopted a new type of machine gun, but the House of Representatives still clings to its same old Cannon.

Somebody carelessly men tioned him for Vice-President the other day. The high price of living is tell ing on the New Jersey prison. The wardens complain that it cosis them nine cents a day now to feed their prisoners. "The ensuing years will see no idleness on my part," says Col. Roosevelt, and that is equally certain to mean that a few other people will be kept busv. Old Prof. Linotype is a great joker now and then. A Georgia editor wrote an editorial reading, "VC'e are a thrifty people," and the professor sent it forth, "We are a a thirsty people." Cameron B. Buxton, a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Buxton, of North Carolina, is one of the most promising railroad men in the country. Although he is but 31 years of age, he holds the high po sition of general eastern agent of the Santa Fe Railroad, with head quarters at Philadelphia. North Carolina continues to sit at the head of the table. Nat Goodwin talks frankly of his matrimonial experiences. He says: "My Hrst wife w as an angel, my second a silly fool; my third a 'Roman senator'; my fourth makes me superlatively happy. No self respecting American citien should take advantage of the unwritten law. If a man steals your wife, don't kill him caution him. The true philosophy of life is to achieve something and then forget it." The officials of the North Caro lina Teachers' Assembly are mak ing extensive preparations for the great meeting of North Carolina teachers which is to be held at Asheville, June 14-17, HMO. This will he twenty-seventh annual ses sion of that organization, and al ready preparations have proceeded far enough to make it evident that it will be one of the greatest edu cational gatherings ever held in the State. Mayor Riddick, of Norfolk, struck a key note a few days ago when he suggested to the Industrial Commission the idea of offering lower taxation for the encourage ment of manufacturers to locate their plants in Norfolk. This very subject is now being considered by Baltimore, which has a new charier pending before the Legislature at Annapolis. What's good for Norfolk and Baltimore would be good for X'el don. The Farmers' Union is preach ing to the farmers the doctrine "Don't Go In Debt," says the News and Observer. One day the eccentric John Randolph, ot Roanoke, rose in his seat in Con gress and cried out in his far-reaching voice: "Mr. Speaker, 1 have found the philosopher's stone. It is 'Pay as you go.' " Later on a lesser light added to Randolph's maxim the words "if you can't pay don't go." This is the lesson the Farmers' Union is trying to teach. Don't Throw It Away. Clean your old ami worthless furni ture with map anil water. Then apply one eoat of L. & M. Varnili all ready for use. It makes it new at a coat of almost nothing. (Jet it from E. CLARK, Weldon. The dissolution of the Standard Oil is now a question for the Su preme Court of the United States to grapple with alone. The final argument of the famous suit to dis solve the Standard Oil Company, of New Jersey, as a conspiracy and a monopoly in violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust law has been made and the court now has the matter under consideration. And yet, according to our way of thinking, there are greater evils for the Anti-Trust law to grapple with than the Standard Oil. The Standard Oil people sell oil at rea sonable prices, but oh, ye "Beef Trust" and ye "Flour Trust lnj all the evils which go to make the cost ot living almost beyond the reach of the man with moderate means. Just read how Major Hemphill sings the praises of Richmond, af ter a residence of one month. He is miles ahead of the natives and knows a good city when he sees it: i "What's the use of living unless you live in Richmond? How can ! you live, in fact, how can anybody ; live, outside of Richmond, upon ' which every god hath set his seal ; and said distinctly that there is no ! other place in the world leastwise 1 no other place that should be men-' tioned in the same breath or the ; same linotype?" ' And yet the late Judge Lynch, for forty years a well known rail-! road official of this place, once said mat mere were only two places in which life was worth living Wel don and New York. The Richmond Times Dispatch says: "North Carolina has fur nished Richmond another small pox patient, Sam F.dwards, claim ing Charlotte, as his home." So much for the splendid adver tising the chief editorial writer on the Times-Dispatch is giving Rich mond. Some days ago the Times Dispatch exploited the advantages of Richmond, a city where the sun shines brightest and ihe birds sing sweetest, and where the gods have set their seals saying there is no other place so fair, and sending out a general invitation, saying to all, "Come and abide with us." Sam read that editorial, perhaps, believed firmly in his soul that the invitation extended even unto Coon Hollow, his home in the county whtre Independence first blossomed, and he straightway hied himself to the fair city of seven hills and took along a case of the dreaded small pox with him. So much for Sam. Bui our friends should not complain. We have given them some of our best men who are identified wiih the spirit ual, intellectual and commercial uplight of Richmond and in giving so much that is good it was only natural that a little evil should creep in. Put Sam in the pest house where he can do no further harm. S'l'VTK Of cilllo, ( i i v UK t ii.i:i)i i.

Under the above litle the follow ing article, by F.lla Wheeler Wil cox, recently appeared in the Rich mond Times-Dispatch. We re gard it as worth reproduction in this column. "Do you know what helps to make anarchists?" said a bright man to me. "It is the indifference of scores of people born rich to the needs of their creditors. Never having felt the lack of $5, $10 or $100, they cannot realize the misery it entails when they withhold those small sums." A milk dealer once told the writer that families in New York City, whose names were syno nyms ot wealth and aristocracy, .r. ... .It . l . p iA . outii auoeu n,i ot ?0u or jwu to go unpaid tor years.

The millionaire is busy with ! large enterprises and leaves a sec ! retary to attend to these bills, per J haps; and the secretary considers I the small bills unimportant and puts them aside while he attends to "more serious" matters. As if anything could be more serious than the needs of the man or wo man dependent upon a small, hard earned income ! More frequently, however, I be lieve the fault of these neglected bills lies with women of wealth. The husband expects his wife to attend to such details, and when madame is called upon she is busy with a visitor, or taking a nap, or dressing for a reception, or going to act on a charitable committee for building a new hospital or church, and she sends word to call again. So small a matter can wait. If the I ill is presented too often, how ever, madame becomes indignant at "the presumption." She does not like to be "importuned" in such a matter. It ought to be made a law that all people of wealth should be post ed on the sireei corners in large red letters when their petty bills remain unpaid longer than two months It is criminal for the dispensers of large chanties and expensive hospitalities to ignore the needs of small tradesmen or workmen Or ! women who are dependent upon ; anj is working to raise $5000 per their little earnings for daily neces-1 year, ,ulMie public library may be kept open on Sunday afternoons, now to khgahd debts. at night, and on holidays.

If you are forced to let a bill or a debt run any length of time, speak of it in the presence of your children as a misfortune which you hope to avert occurring a second time.

No mailer how brilliant and gift ed a man may be, no matter how beautiful and accomplished a w o man, both are blemished hopeless ly in the eyes of right-thinking people if they are negligent about their financial obligations. Hundreds of unhappy marriages can be traced to this one fault in either husband or wife. There is nothing mure Inimiljfl ting io a woman of refinement and delicacy of feeling than the knowl edge that her neighbors and asso ciates know her husband disregards his money obligations and that trades are needing what he uses for oilier purposes. There is nothing huns a man of good principles more than to find his wife inconsiderate of the rights of her creditors. The moment a man and wife be gin to have discord over monev from any cause the bloom is gone from the domestic rose. Every young woman should learn some thing of her lover's methods in these matters before she becomes his wife. The man who makes light of fi nancial obligations is the man who will make light of his marriage ob ligations.

Too many boys and girls hear poverty and econo my preached, but hear nothing to set them thinking upon the disgrace uf debt.

THE NOKTH CAROLINA l'EDl.KA j TION OF W'OMl-NSCl.l'HS CIVIC DEPARTMENT. (Miss liliabeth Schwanberg, Chair man, Southern Pines.) One of the besi ways to cultivate a love for the beautiful is to begin with our own surroundings. Civic beauty means cleanliness, comfort, pride. The vacant lot over grown with weeds and brush is a reproach to any neighborhood. Civic beauty is not an idle dream, it is an easily realized ideal. The reports that have come to this department are most encour ing. Though not all the towns represented in the Federation have a civic department in their clubs, yet those that have, report better work done this year, and ihe com mittee has helped to arouse new interest. One of our newest civic clubs, during the two years since its or ganization has raised over $2,200 most of which has been spent in restoring and beautifying the town hall, now the library and club room. A civic league in one town organized with a cleaning day, and a law imposing a fine for expectora ting on the side walks. Another civic league is determined to have clean and beautiful streets and lawns, while still another exercises close observance of health laws. Five hundred trees planted, Ar bor day and Civic day celebrations, improved conditions around the railroad station, and a systematic garbage collection is the record of one small town. A large neighbor, through the influence of its wo- ni:in Huh ll:ld a Hivin nn iUv while still others are working in a quiet way toward general civic improvement. Everywhere may be seen ihe good results of the woman's club with the local civic league. To those clubs which have not attempted anything along civic lines, the committee wishes to makea plea that they inaugurate a movement towards better condi tions in their towns. Do ii at once. Will not clubs which have not al ready esiablished junior civic leagues for the training of otr in principles of school children law, order and cleanliness, do so "r , ' S, . .'1 T I . . . in ihe effort to have clean streets if they are taught this, and have cultivated in them a taste for beau- anJ cleanliness. i nis paper was contributed to the Betterment Column by Mrs. X II.
