FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE.
Florence Nightingale, bst known
for her work in the camp hospitals
during the Crimean War, when she
revolutionized army nursing;, was born
in Florence, Italy, May 15, 1820. Her
father, William Shore Nightingale,
was a wealty English landowner and
a country gentleman of the old school,
known as "Squire," with estates in
Derbyshire and Hampshire, so Flor
ence Nightingale was born to wealth
and position, and every avenue to so
cial distinction lay open to her. As a
young girl she showed a kindly inter
est in the sick, especially the very
poor among them.
Her attention was early drawn to
the backward and unsanitary condi
tion of London hospitals; she travel
ed extensively on the continent of
Europe to make a special study of
guch institutions, entering upon a
course of training in nursing with
the Sisters of Mercy in Paris and at
Kaiserworth-en-Rhine, which occupied
fourteen years of her life. When the
Crimean war was in progress, in re
sponse to something like a national ap
peal, she left England with a band
of nurses she had mostly trained, and
established the great hospital at Sen
tari, where by her untiring energy and
extraordinary ability in alleviating
the suffering of the sick and wounded
she acquired a world-wide reputatinon.
The English people desired to present
her with a testimonial, and fifty thou
sand pounds steding ($250,000) were
raised, but she only accepted this on
condition that she might use it to
found a hospital and the Nightingale
Home at St Thomas' Hospital, Lon
don, was accordingly founded. She
wrote "Notes on Hospitals," "Notes on
Nursing," "Life or Death in India,"
and some other books en kindred sub
jects. She died August 13, 1910.
Loiurfellow pays a tribute to this
heroic woman in his poem entitled
"Santa Fitonnna,'' (-)J m,t m0
"Tho wouaded from the battle-plain,
In dreary hospitals of pain
The cheerless corridors,
The cold and stony floors.
"Lot in that house of misery
A lady with a lamp I see
Pass through the glimmering
gleom,
And flit from room to room.
O
"And slow, as in a dream of bliss, ,
The speechless sufferer turns to kiss
Her shadow as it falls
Upon the darkening walls.
"On England's annals through the
Hereafter of her speech and song,
; Thai Vpiht its rays shall cast
From portals of the past.
"A lady with a lamp shall stan4
In the gseat history of fhe land
A noMe type o' good
Heroic womunnoud."
TAXATION AS A REMEDY FOR
ABSENTEE LANDLORDISM.
I remarked last week that sooner
or later the Soath will undoubtedly
adopt some plan whereby the resident
landlord the man who lives on hi3 his
place and helps build up the communi
ty and every form of wholesome com
munity life will be taxed at a lower
rate (at least on his first 100 acres)
than is the absentee landlord who too
often eithe.' takes no interf st at all in
the community life or actually retards
its development.
The shameful fact at present is how
ever, that instead of having to pay
an extra tax for holding back the
progress of the community the aver
age absentee landlord in the South
gets off lighter than industrious, en
terprising, resident farmers who keep
up soil fertility, build Rood houses,
keep good livestock, and help every
thing look progressive and be pro
gressive. "Mr. Absentee Landlord's
place," say the tax assessors, "is lim
ning down, the land is petting poor
and partly growing up in old fields,
nnd the Negro tenants have let his
house get in ramshackle shape; so we
naturally can't increase his assess
ment. But here is young John Jones:
his land's getting rirlier, he has fixed
up his place and is making some
money; we'll have to ran up on him."
Instead of all this, it would seem
that in fixing an assessment on land,
the rule ought to be to assess on its
natural value. What justice is there
in punishing a man with increased
taxes he has helped the State and
helped coming generations by taking
care ef his soil and making it richer
and more fruitful and beautiful?
And on the other hand, is it not State
to reward a man with lightened tax
ation because he has neglected his
land, letting it wash into waste and
gullies to the infinite loss of present
and future generations ? Progressive

INSTRUCTING THE UN1NSTBUCT
ED If Senator Penrose knows what he
is talking about, and he thinks he does,
delegates to the National Republican
Convention next year will go unin
structed as to candidates. In the im
pending crisis he solemnly believes
that the office should seek the man.
To that end he assumes that unin-
structed delegates "will be able to
weigh the merits and strength of each
aspirant and by a process or elimi
nation make a proper selection."
In such circumstances most of us
knew how the weighing and eliminat
ing will be done and who will preside
at the ceremonies. There will be
gathered together in a superheated
parlor of a Chicago hotel, far from
the madding crowd of delegates, a
few choice spirits of the old regime.
Mr. Penrose will be there, of course,
and so will Joe Cannon and a dozen
others, and in the dark of the moon
they will weigh and eliminate until the
final unanimous choice of the thousand
uninstructcd delegates who will make
up the convention next day will be
fixed unalterably, as if by revelation,
upon some good corporation candidate
almost miraculously raised up for the
occasion.
Instructed delegates representing
the will of the people in important
States cannot fail to be troublesome
in such a situation as this, for they
will want to be heard and, worst of
all, to be counted. A Presidential pri
mary legally binding could hardly be
more reprehensible or better calculat
ed to interfere with the ancient pro
cesses. New York World.
WHAT A PROMINENT REPUBLI
CAN SAYS
The Raleigh correspondent of the
Durham Herald recently had this
i torn i
"Woodrow Wilson had as well be
maate President for another term by
acclamation," declared a prominent
Republican here who held an import
ant federal appointment for a couple
of terms under former Republican ad
ministrations. He explained hi as
sertion by saaung that Wilson has
scored such a complete success in the
diplomatic relations of the United
States during these perilous times that
it will not be worth while for any op
position to his re-election to be or
ganized. This Republican is also free
to admit that the overwhelming
strength of President Wilson all over
the country will assure to Democracy
a firm hold on the reins of govern
ment for another term and, indeed, is
likely to bring about decided gains
out in the States as well as in Federal
officialdom.
INFANT MORTALITY
Statictics carefully collected by the
United States government show us
that, of every 1,000 babies born each
year, 127 die before the next year
comes; and, of these 127 annual deaths
per thousand, it is freely admitted
that a large percentage are easily
preventable.
Babies vs. Calves.
If, out of every 1,000 calves, 127
should die the first year, and statistics
should show such a loss as that year
after year throughout the country
storm of indignation would rise at
the lax methods of inspection that
would permit so costly a mortality
but considered purely from the value
in dollars and cents, the waste of
child-life is a question that demands
the attention of every man who loves
his kind and wants to see this country
ereater and more prosperous. , To
measure human life in dollars may
be a brutal way of putting the ques
tion of health preservation; it may be
startling; but it enables us to contrast
the care we give to our domestic ani
mals with that which we fail to Rive
our own children. Postal Life Insur--ance

CANDIDATE HARTNESS
Charlotte Observer.
Keeping an eye on the pacers of
the State the past week. The Obser
ver has been impressed with the in
tensity of interest the announcement
of Mr. J. A. Hartness, of Iredell, for
ine omce of Secretary of State has
aroused. It is clearlv evident fTiot
there is more behind the candidaev
of Hartness than mere leadership for
me roiauomsis. His name is the talk
in all the counties. The Winston.
Salem Journal does not hesitate to
give him cordial recommendation.
which is rounded out with the ex
pression that it "is glad to see him
thus early announce his candidacy,
along with his intention to make a
straightforward campaign." The
Journal says that by doing this, Mr.
wanness "is rendering his f 'ends
throughout the State a distinct ser
vice, since there are thousands of
them who will be delighted to have an
opportunity to express their appre
ciation, of his faithful work for the
party in a substantial manner." The
concern the rotationists have been
manifesting in Harness' probable
course seems to have been fully justi-
nea.
RANDOLPH PROSPERS
We have just had an opportunity
ii take a look into Randolph county.
It has wonderful possibilities. Rich
soil, beautiful -in situation and in
most cases well cultivated. There is
much of it still lying waste, however,
and some of it is poorly tended. They
say hay grows well in the county.
If that is so why is there so much
baled hay wire visible?

Asheboro is the busy center and a
fast growing town. There is an alert
ness among the people there worth
watching. .Their school building, built
new only a short time ago, while too
large when built is now altogether
too small. The teachers are wide
awake and eager to do their level best.
We are looking for much good news

Beautiful day to hope and trust,
Beautiful day to look up from the

WHEN DADDY WAS A BOY
When twilight comes, my daddy takes
Me up upon his knee,
And tells me of the things he did
When he was young, like me;
How maple sugar, cooled with snow,
His appetite would cloy;
Gee, but they must 'a had good times
When Daddy was a boy!
He had to pass a haunted hous
When coming home from school,
Where trees grew all around the edge
Of some black, swampy pool,
An' once they thought they saw a
ghost-
He and my uncle Roy
Gee, but they must 'a had good times
When Daddy was a boy!
course, he had to do the chores,
And had to bring in wood,
And then, when Christmas c&rae
around,
He'd get, if he was good,
A pair of shoes, or a new hat,
Instead of any toy-
But, anyhow, they had good times,
When Daddy was a boy.
My Daddy wasn't any saint;
From school he'd sneak away,
And hunt wild Injuns in the woods,
Just like we do today;
He used to go barefooted, too;
Green apples he'd enjoy
I guess times hasn't changed
much
since
My Daddy was a boy.
PLANT FRUIT TREES.
There is a growing sentiment
throughout the land to plant more
fruit trees and the idea is good and
should be encouraged. Nothing adds
more to the comforts and pleasures of
the home than good fruit. The farmer
with but a few acres of land may
have an abundance of fruit with very
little expense, however the more at
tention given tho trees will assure a
better yield and larger results. The
farm without an abundance of fruit is
in reality short of much which would
give pleasure and profit to the owner.
Several small orchards are found in
and around on the hills of Carthage,
and the owners have found them to be
remunerative indeed. Just the past
season the peach crop was good,
and prices were fair and the fruit
growers are encouraged t plant more
trees and branch out some. We un
derstand that the peaches netted
around $1.50 per crate, and when it is
taken into consideration that several
thousand crates were shipped from the
county it is easy to see that some
money was made. It is not safe to
our.t upon a good crop every year,
herefore disappointments are sure to
come sontetimes and the wise man
will diversify and not put all of his
eggs in one basket.
KEEPING OUR SCHOOL
CHIL-
DREN WELL.
No boy or girl likes to be sick. Nei
ther do grown-ups, for that matter.
There are some kinds of disease that
we can do much to avoid; others, there
is nothing much that we can do in the
way of protection.
Among those diseases that boys
and girls can do a great deal to avoid
are diptheria, scarlet fever, and meas
les. All of these are highly conta
gious, "catching" as we often say, and
for the most part are conveyed from
one person to another by the matter
that comes from the nose, throat or
mouth.
Now, if the school children of North
Carolina conuld all bo taught about
theso three diseases alone, and then
thesa few simple directions fallowed,
they in large part would be ;iblc to
avoid having diptheria, scarlet fever
and measles.
Here they are: Keep away from
children who are suffering with severe
colds, complain of sore throats, and
who say they don't feel well. With
out being rurie or unkind, you need not
play with them or exchange gum, can
dy, fruit or food of any kind.
Do not borrow or lend pencils it ary
time; and never put even your own
pencil in your mouth.
Use your own drinking cup.
J)o not visit playmates who arc not
veil; they may !.; iMminjv down v.iili
any one of tho diseases that we are
talking about, ;v;r.l, r.s a rule, the
early titages are the most dangerous.
Do not go into any house where
there is n warning sig:i posited on the
outside. The only safe mle is not to
expose yourself knowingly. Take no
chances. Adapted from the Chicago
Department of Health, in the N. C.
Health Bulletin.
How To Prevent Croup.
It may bo a surprise to you to learn
that in many cases croup can be pre
vented. Mrs. H. M. Johns, Elida,
Ohio, relates her experence as fol
lows: "My little boy is subject to
croup. During the past winter I kept
a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy in the house, r.nd when he begun
having that croupy cough I would
give him one or two doses of it and
it would break the attack. I like it
better for children than any other
cough medicijp becase children take
it willingly, and it is safe and relia
ble." Sol by ail druggists.

SEED CORN WILL BE HIGH
PRICED.
Director C. R. Litlow, of the West
Virginia Agricultural Extension De
partment, after having toured the ag
ricultural sections of eleven of the big
corn-producing states, says that good
seed corn will be scarce and high
priced next spring. A cool late spring
and the excessive rainfall delayed the
corn crop in these states so that the
larger part of it did not mature before
frost.
Farmers are urged to select their
seed corn in the field. Field selection
enables the farmer to pick out good
ears that have grown under normal
conditions. It also enables him to
avoid taking ears from hills contain
ing barren stalks and has many ether
advantages.

It has been said that every third
