A Dangerous Man. About inauguration time a prominent railroad president who was visiting Washington declared tliat it might become necessary to elect a Democrat iiexi time because of the odium which the Republican party was bringing upon itself. When asked to name a satisfactory candidate he mentioned a prom inent Democrat whose availa bility is now being canvassed. This railroad president was ask ed how Tom Johnson would do and bis reply was that Johnson was not a "safe man," that he was, in fact, a "dangerous man.'' Something has occur red in Cleveland recently which supports the opinion expressed by this railroad president and shows that Mr. Johnson is in truth a "dangerous man" to corporations that avoid taxation or seek some unfair advantage at the expense of the people. Mayor Johnson has been try ing to raise the assessment of the railroads. According to the Columbus Press-Post he said : "The members of that State board will place the railroads' on the same level with residence j property and farm lands, or! there'll be such a storm of in dignation throughout the State that they will be swept out of political life forever." When the assessment was raised fom 12 per cent to 13 per cent. (Johnson wanted it raised to GO per cent.) he is re ported to have said to them : "Gentlemen, you ought to be proud of yourselves. You have been as good to this charitable institution, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, as you know how. I hope that every one of you will be defeated should you aspire to a re-elec tion or any other oflice. If I can help to defeat you I will do so." All of this goes to show that Mr. Johnson is a "dangerous man." As he is in favor of making the corporation pay their share of the taxes and stand on the same level with the farmer and home owner, he is probably a "demagogue," and if he sticks to his resolve to do his duty to the public he may after a while be called an "anarchist." The fact that Mr. Johnson, while supporting the national ticket heartily in 1890 and 1900, has uot been known as a radical silver man will not be sufficient to protect him from the wrath to come. The corporations will not per mit an y independence in thought or act. No one can en joy their smiles unless he is willing to abandon conscience and conviction, and obey every command without questioning. —The-Commoner. o o DUNN FOUNDRY, MACHINE AND METAL WORKS. 10000 feet of floor space covered with brand new and ponderous machinery and fixtures for all kinds of machine and metal working.

We glean a few illustrative items from stale exchanges. In Madison county tliere is a farm J of 810 acres with eighteen dwell- j ings upon it. These arc rent ed out by Mr. Morris Stack-' house, the owner. The Mar shall Enterprise says: "The aggregate rents amount j to $4O per month. Their sale' of hay and feed yearly amounts to $1,900 dollars, They utilize every stick of their timber and have a good income from rail-J road ties. They also have a saw mill and do quite a large j business in the way of lumber.' 7 i The Carthage Blade tells ho w- Mr. W. W. Mills moved' from that town to Bi?co. It i says in July 1886, he began to work at 40 cents a day and is now worth $15,000, earned by energy and business capacity. Such a man is valuable to town, county and State. Yea, verily, fifty such men in each county would soon make; North Carolina rival Massachu-j setts in production and wealth.: Now comes one phase of the iecent losses in North Carolina by the great rains that recently fell and so widely and sweep ingly destroyed. The Burns ville Eagle gives a gloomy, dis tressing account of the losses in its section, which it says cannot be estimated. It says that Mr. Wm. Pearson alone lost near $BOO in oak and walnut logs from a yard at Huntdale. So far as learned there were 17 houses in Yancey, and 93 in Mitchell carried away by the flood ; *23 of 93 in Mitchell coun ty were taken from Bakersville by Cane creek, a small stream passing through the town- It is said that the bodies of three persons, thought to be negroes, and several head of stock were seen going down the river at Green Mountain." The Charlotte Observer says the losses in North Carolina "are beyond computation," Af ter all the losses ascertainable have been gathered, itemized and footed up there remains a loss so serious that only years can restore. We quote: "But we shall put a price up on the acres of top soil carried away, down to tlia hard ground and deposited in the beds of the streams, the bottom lands which this soil formerly made fruitful ' now covered deep with sand?! It will be years and years before these bottoms can be restored to fertility. And this enumeration | takes no account of the planted crops destroyed nor the loss suf ' fered by the inability of theown ier to raise any crop at all this i year, or adequate crops for years i to come upon the devasted i lands. One cannot figure it all: lin dollars and cents, but it is' ; certain that no equal disaster 1 befell these ilood-stricken dis tricts before," The west lost far more than the east.

A good breakfast is the phys ical basis of a day's work. The American breakfast, regarded with so much horror on the Eu ropean continent, has contribu ted largely to make the nation what it is today. It enabled our fore-fathers to do an amount of work which it appals foreign ers to contemplate. As a rule there is something wrong with the re an, or with his habits, if he cannot eat a good breakfast. A man who ' works at his tension all through ' the morning hours without this substantial foundation is work i ing entirely upon his nerves. !■ That means disordered nutri ■ tion, and sooner or later, bank • ruptcy and collapse. I If a man gets up in the morn i ing with a bad taste and no in -5 cliuation for food, it is because his system is full of waste and . his circulation of obstructions. 1 Let him make a radical change I in his habits, and train his di j gestive organs to accommodate i a nourishing morning meal.— 1 Medical Brief, Prove all things; holdfast that which is good." DUIMIM, IM. C. JUNE, 12 1901, A Typical Caucasian. On page 24 of Maury's Ele mentary Geography, Revised, there is an excellent picture of Senator Zebulon Baird Vance, underneath the picture is writ ten, "A Caucasian." Iu a conversation with Prof. R. B. Hunter, supervisor of county education, the agent of the Maury Company told an in teresting story of how the pict ure of Senator Vance happened to be iu the geography. When the geography was revised a committee was appointed to se lect a photograph that would serve to faithfully delineate the type of each race. To obtain the composite element, or to get a picture that would best serve to portray the varying features of the Caucasian, the committee selected 100 photographs from various places in Europe and 150 from America. In writing to the photographers the com mittee requested that they se lect the pictures they considered as representative of the Caucas ian. It is singular that six Ameri can photographers chose the photograph of Senator Vance as that of a typical Caucasian. When the committee came to njake a selection from the 260 photographs they reached their decision by gradually discarding photographs that were compar atively unsuitable. At last the six photographs of Vance re mained which indicated that the choice of the committee was unanimous. To those who have seen Sen ator Vance or his photographs the conclusion of the committee is not surprising. His physi ognomy embodied the best and strongest in the Anglo-Saxon, who is dominant among Cau casians.—Charlotte Observer. Stepped Into Lire Coal*.

The industrial progress of North Carolina during the last few years has been wonderful.£ When the present generation cmni" upon the scene North Carolina was ha-dly ki own . s n nianufactoring .Stale, but n- w in the extent, variety and pro perty of its manufactures wili compare favorably with any State of the South. Worth Carolina is not s= fled wiili what she has aliva y accomplished in this direction, but is pressing forward with i: - creasing vigor, more intelligent efforts and better methods. The State now has a large number mills for the manufac ture of cotton and wool. She wants more and is determined to give inereas' d attention to the manufacture of the fin: grades of cottons and woolens. In order to do this she mu have a larger supply »ff skill'( ! labor. Instead of depending up on other countries and other sections of our own country for this North Carolina is moving to increase her own supply of skill ed labor. The first necessary step to ward this achievement has been taken. A textile school is al - operating with the North Carolina Agricultural and Me chanical College at Rahigh, and is being greatly enlarged and improved. Its new build ing is now approaching comple tion. In its construction, ar rangement and equipment it j will be a model. Mr. 1). A.Tompkins, of Char-1 lotte, who has been of inc-alcul- i tible service to the State in pro- ! moting its industries and arous- ! ing its people to an appvecia-' tion of their importance, made! the plans for the building, and i will oversee the selection and J placing of its mechanical equip ment. This is a sufficient guar-1 antee that the preparation of the j school for its great work will be I well attended to. Instructions in North Caro lina's textile school is already both technical and practical, but the practical operation will ' be much more extended when the new building is opened. The State gave $20,000 for this structure and it will receive j much aid and much valuable j donation from individuals in! North Carolina and outside I, friends of textile education in the State. Georgia has one of the i best textile schools in the coun try as the department of her School of Technology, and we are glad to know that North , Carolina will soon have a tirst class establishment of like character. —Atlanta Journal. 111 ■ WANTED—Ladies and Gen- 1 tlemen to introduce the "hot test" seller on earth. l)r.

One day a couple came to me, bring ing as witnesses the parents of both bride and groom. Every thing proceeded smoothly to the . point love, honor and obey,' ' when the bride refused to say ' the last, I repeated it and wait ed. Again »h 3 refused, and I 1 shut up my book. Then there was a scene. They talked it over, and the more seriously they argued and discussed the 1 more stubbornly she refused. The parents became angry, the groom excited, and the bride Hysterical. To humor her he joined in the request to have me' leave it out. But I liked the fellow and decided that a little sternness from me in the pres-! ent might be a favor to him in future. So I told them I had no authority to change it and would not do so. I tried to show the foolishness of her ob jection, but it was no use. Fi nally, I said to him : 'Well this household must have a head somewhere. I will leave it. out for her if you will say it..' Then it was his tune to refuse, which he did. He gathered up his hat and started for the door when, presto change ! she sprang after him, led him back by the hand, looked meekly up at him and saidit." . SPKIKG MMM hie wmm 11 m. ~ * OF DUNN, N.
