The boy was carried to the hospital where he died later in the afternoon. It is believed that he was out hunting and stopped to eat some grapes and picked the gun up by the muzzle, striking the hammer against a tree causing the accident, It is reported that the Southern Aluminum Company will within the next week or ten days resume the work of erecting the big aluminum factory at Baden, six miles from Al bemarle, on the Yadkin River. This work closed down r.lmost immediately upon the outbreak of the war in Eu rope a year ago, sending off more than 2,000 laborers and leaving the dam only partially completed and the factory only hulled in. At that time about $2,000,000 had been spent. The resumption of work at . Baden will bring nbeut 2,000 people to Stanly county in the next few weeks and the completion of the plant will add much to the wealth of this section of North Carolina, TAB STARS- BBFORH THII DAWN How warm, and near the stars before the dawa That silent keep the last dim watch ere day Hew close to arth their tender light n drawn To earth so still and gray! T them no lover cries in fond appeal, No reveller's songs their watchful silence break, No piteous phantoms of the night but steal Away when they awake. Where weary mothers stiamble half asleep To still with comfort warm baby's cry; Where little children dream, their watch they keep As waning night goes by. But most of all, I think, they light the way For little ones who slip beyond our hold, Who, spite of all our anguish, cann(ot stay, But leave our arms a-cold. For them their tender shining.as alone Across the misty silences they fare. Beyond our touch, beyond our fond ling gone, O God, beyond our care! Frances Tatnall, in Harper's Mag azine. FATHER RYAN, THE POET PRIEST Father Abram Joseph Ryan is called the poet priest' of the South. He was born in Norfolk, Va., in 1839, and died in Louisville on April 23,1886. As a chaplain in the Confedarte p.rmy he stood upon more than one battlefield, and to the cause ho served and loved a brother of this poet-priest gave his life. One critic does not hesitate to say that the ode in memory of his brother, Capt. J. David Ryan, should live forever, for thore is no deeper or more martial pathos even iu "The Burial of Sir John Moore." After the war he edited several religious per- odicals and became pastor of St. Mary's church in the suburbs of Mo bile, Ala. Until urged to do so by a friend, a literary man, it never oc curred to him to gather intp book form the poems which had been scat tered like oak loaves in the wind through newspapers and periodicals. The title of one of his volumes is "The Conquered Banner .".nd Other Poems." He also published "Poems, Patriotic, Religious and Miscellaneous." The following stanzas are from the "Song of the the Mystic," which we cannot give at length: "I walk down the Valley of Silence Down the dim, voiceless valley alone! And I hear not the fall of a footstep Around me, save God's and my own; And the hush of my heart is as holy As hovers where Angels have flown. "And I have seen Thoughts in the Val ley Ah me! how my spirit was stirred! And they, wear holy veils on their faces, Their footsteps can scarcely be heard; They pass through the Valley like Vir gins, Too pure for the touch of a word." SOIL BUILDING Tat the farmer of the South, we hold that there swe-Zfevr greater re sponsibilities than that of caring for the land; not only caring for it, but making it better and better as the years go by. Indeed, so great in this responsibility that we affirm that the farmer who is not a soil-builder, rath er than a- soil-robber, is it, however splendid his other qualities may be, a good citizen. No country has ever been or ever will he greater than its common peo ple, the people whose feet daily press the bosom of Mother Earth; and no farming people can ever be gueat un less the lands they live upon are fat and fruitful. Where the poor, barren lands are, there will you ever find a poor, barren people poor in the com mon comforts that make life better and more wholesome, barren of all in spiration and hope-of better things. Where the rich ani fruitful lands are, there are ever found good homes, good schools, vigorous hopeful men and women with "faces turned toward the rising sun." It is given to but few men to be great, as greatness is commonly reck oned; but if true greatness lies in ser vice, in doing well our share of the world's work, and, when we go, leav ing behind us a world a little better for ou'1 having lived in it, in contrib uting our bit to the welfare and hap piness of the present generation and all the generations yet to be if this be the sort of service that makes for greatness, then, no less than poets and painters, no less than warriors and statesmen, is the soii-builder. Pro gressive Farmer. ARMS AND THH MKT No hard drinkers, no cigarette fiends and no livers of fast lives need apply for work at the plant of the Reming ton Arms Company at Kddystone, Pa. The 1G.0OO men who will work in the new shops are being selected with strict regard to steadiness of habits and of nerve and with a gen eral regard for physical condition. This particular adaptation of a eugenic principle to certain demands of industry it a logical sequence of i the events that call the Eddystone plan into existence. War sends to the front the best of a nation's phy sical strength. And so we see the se lection of our own fittest men to make the instruments by which the unhappy fittest men of other countries may slay one another. Aside from the fact that it thust completes a perfect round of stern logic, there is nothing really new in the attitude of the Remington Com pany. Many business firms have fol lowed the example set by great rail roads in excluding the intemperate from their employ. More than one commercial house has deemed devo tion to the cigarette inconsistant with the best attention to its affairs. And anywhere, at any time, it is the clear eyed, clear-skinned, clear-headed worker the man most healthfully concerned with his own welfare to whom the interests of his employers are moht confidently and completely intrusted. New York World. GERMANY'S LOSS IN SOUTH WEST AFRICA Here and now it is nesessary to note ah : event which bore eloquent testimony to "the helplessness of Ger many beynd the seas and the com plete self-delusion of German dreams that British colonies would rise to re sist the mother country and, particu larly in South Africa, that British domain would cease. The surrender of the last armed force of Germans in German Southwest Africa in the thii-J week of July to an expeditionar; army led by Botha, the famous Boer general, laid at rest all these hopes Indeed, in acknowledging the British official congratulations sent in his sue cess, Botha expressed his hope soon to lead his victorious command to European victories. The German colony of -Southwest Africa was the first and most expen sive of German colonial experiments. It had cost a long native war, thou sands of lives, and millions of marks In the German scheme it was th2 foundation of a colonial edifice which was to extend to the Congo and the headwaters of the Niger and include all of the Union of South Africa. It had been the base of German in trigue in the Union of South Africa, and, in the early rising of De Wet and Beyers, there seemed promise that German hope might be realized and South Africa lost to the British Empire. But Botha had prevented all this. All save a few of his old-time Boer comrades followed him. The re bellion was crushed, a strong army was raised and sent under his com mand across the Orange River, and it became thereafter only a question of time until the feeble German forces should succumb. In this struggle Germany lost a colony of more than 320,000 square miles, half again as large as the Fatherland. Since it was conquered by colonial troops there could be no possibility that it would be regained. As our own American colonials would not consent to the the return of Que bec to France, once it was captured and the peril of border warfane abol ished, the colonials of the Union of South Africa are certain to insist that this danger to their peace and safety remain abolished. Precisely in the same way the Australians had taken New Guinea and Samoa, the islands of the Southern Pacific. Japan had taken Kiao-chau. More than half a million square miles are thus perma nently lost to Germany. In addition Togoland had been seiz ed in the opening days of the war and July brought news of the success of Anglo-French forces in beating down the remnant of German resist ance in that Kamerun which had been expanded at French expense in the Agailir time. Only German East Africa remained, the best colony, but at the meriy of any subsequent attack of a South African expedition. And this East Africa is the sole barrier to the realization of Cecil Rhodes' dream of the "all-red" Cape-to-Cairo. Once more, as in the wars of Louis XIV and Napoleon, Great Britain was successfully sweeping Kie world clear of the colonies of her rival. She was answering the challenge, of the Kaiser, who had said that German future was on the seas. From "One Year of War," by Frank H. Simonds, in the American Review of Reviews for Au gust. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA THH FAR REACHES OF INFLUENCES- In a sermon that he preached nearly forty years ago in Plymouth Church. Henry Ward Beecher declared that one of the influences that had most strongly shaped his life and character was that of an old colored man, named Charles Smith, who worked as a hired hand in his father's farm when he was a small boy. "He did not try to influence me; he did not know that he did it; 1 did not know it until a great while atei-ward. He used to lie in his humble bed (I lopt in the same room with him) read his Testament, unco.scious that was in the room; and he would talk about what he read, and chuckle over it, in that peculiarly, unctuous throat tone that belongs to his race. 1 never had heard the Bible really read be fore; but there, in my presence, he read it and talked about it to himself and to God. He turned the New Tes tament into living forms right before me. It was a revalation and hi im pulse to me." But for the little lad ten years old, who listened, first curiously, then tJioughtfully, to the poor old negro's levout reading of the Bible, the name of Charles Smith would never have been mentioned beyond his own nar row circle. It is probable that his emotional religion was sometimes ac tually ridiculed by those who knew him. Had Charles Smith been told that he would bear an influential part in making one of the most famous of American preachers, that his name would be mentioned with reverence in one of the greatest of American churches, and be revived for praise and commendation after forty years, such a result would have seemed to his simple mind quite incredible. It is not unlikely either that some humble, anpretending Christian was cheered and encouraged by Mr. Beech er 's recital of the incident that day, and that new impulses were started, quite as important and far-reaching as the original one. To many readers of these lines, too, the story will come with a fresh suggestiveness, and the simple faith of a plain, unlettered man may thus influence other lives that Charles Smith never would have dreamed of touching.

A CHATHAM RABBIT AND A RANDOLPH HOUND On the local ball park fence arc a number of advertisement signs, among the number being a picture of verdant pasture, with a brook meandering through it, and at the water's edge a Chatham rabbit sipping the limpid refreshment. So natural and life-like is the painting that a Randolph county hound in passing Saturday mistook it for a live rabbit and jumped for it, thereby breaking his neck against the fence. The fool dog was lying by the fence as Edward Britton, Bion Butler and the editor passed en route to the ball game this as corroboration. A Chatham hound would have had more sense. Siler City Grit. TRY TO BE THE FELLOW THAT YOUR MOTHER THINKS YOU ARE While walking down crowded city street the other day I heard a little urchin to a comrade turn and say: "Say, Jimmie, let me tell yer, I'd be happy as a clam If I only was de feller dat me mudder t'inks I am. "She thinks I am a wonder and knows her little lad Would never mix wit' nottin' dat was ugly, mean or baw; An' lots o' times I sit an' t'ink how nice 'twould be gee whizz, If a feller was de feller dat his mud der t'inks he is." So, folks, be yours a life of toil or unT diluted joy, You can still learn a lesson from the small unlettered boy; Don't try to be an earthly saint with eyes fixed in a star Just try to be the fellow that your mother thinks you are.
