Children's Manners.
In many American homes
lack of manners is fast becom
ing akin to lack of morals. The
grandmother and guest are
frequently forced into a sec
ondary position in conversa
tion, the teatable talk being
monopolized by children's chat
ter and clamor. Deference
to age is conspicuous by its
absence. The child is encourag
ed to think of himself first and
others last, for fear that his
"sponfaneity" be checked
Among well bred Europeans
the American child is usually
considered a nuisance, to be
held up as a warning. Mrs.
Alice Freeman Palmer tells a
good story of her experience in
a German railway train, when a
tiny Karl, who had committed
some little rudeness, was re
proved in a shocked tone by his
mother. "My son," said she,
what shall I do with you? You
behave just like an American
child." " Evidently nothing
more crushing could have been
said. The traveler who has
once lived with foreign children
and observed their sweet cour
tesies and absence of pertness,
and has seen how happy chil
dren are in considering others,
may well desire that our active,
vigorous American children
may add a new grace to the oth
er charms which make them in
the light and joy of our homes.

| Congregationalist.

The greatest danger from
colds and la grippe is their re
sulting in pneumonia. If reas
onable care is used, however,
and Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy taken, all danger will be
avoided. Among tens of thous
ands who have used this rem
edy for these diseases, we have
yet to learn of a single case hav
ing resulted in pneumonia,
which shows conclusively that
it is a certain preventive of that
dangerous malady. It will cure
a cold or an attack of la grippe
in less time than any other
treatment. It is pleasant and
safe to take. For sale by Hood

DO YOU WANT TO VOTE?
It is materially essential that
every white man, who is re
quired to pay poll tax should
have his tax receipt on or be
fore May Ist, 1902. No danger
confronts us on account of the
educational qualification among
our people because those that
cannot read aud write as pre
scribed by the Amendment to
the Constitution, could vote on
Jan. Ist, 1867, or prior thereto,
and if not in this class, they
are the lineal descendants of
some person who could, and
hence the white people of Har
nett county will not be effected
along this Hue by the new law.
This part of the Amendment
to the Constitution has been
considered the most vital part
of it—and is, to all except the
white people—the part that
effects the white people we are
now endeavoring to impress
upon the public. That is Sec.
4 of Chap. 11, of the Adjourned
Session 1900 of the Legislature
of North Carolina which re
quires that "before he (the
elector) shall be entitled to vote
he shall have paid on or before
the first day of May of the year
in which he proposes to vote,
his poll tax for the previous
year as prescribed by Article V.
Sec. 1, of the Constitution."
This section only applies to
persons between the ages of
twenty-one and fifty years.
Those voters who are over fifty
will not be effocted by this part
of the law. But those elecors
who are less than fifty will
have to see that their poll tax
is paid on or before the first of
May 1902—unless the County
Commissioners have released
such voter on account of pov
erty or infirmity—or they stand
a good chance to lose their
vote in the coming election of
this year. The tax required to
be paid is the poll tax for the
year 1901 and not for 1902 as
some have understood it to be.
We will have an entirely new
registration in North Carolina
this year to put in force and op
eration our Constitutional
Amendment which was so
triumphantly ratified at the
August election 1900 and in
this registration it will have to
be shown that these poll taxes
have been paid by those who
are of taxable age and applying
for registration.
The Secretary of State of
Louisiana informs us that a
number of worthy men were
not put upon the permanent
roll because this feature of the
law was overlooked. This was
also true in another state in
which franchise laws have been
recently passed, but there's no
reason why this should occur
in this state and especially in
Harnett Couuty.
Then let every patriotic cit
izen bestir himself to see that
every white man obtain this in
formation and get himself on
the permanent roll this year—
which will contain all that is
noble, true and good of the
electors of this grand old com
monwealth.

however, was not known until

It was supposed that the man

that Couille had committed sui

not give up the cigarettes.

The Power of Song.
Isaac W. Van Schaick, who
died in Maryland at the age of
eighty-four, was one of the most
notable characters that ever
claimed Milwaukee as home,
and it was from that city that
he was twice elected to Con
gress, aud he could have gone
oftener had he so desired.
"Baby Mine" was the song
that elected him the time he
ran for Congress. In the outer
wards of the city—in the thick
ly populated districts were the
Polished voters live— ho visited
the humble homes and dandled
the children on his knee, jollied
the mothers and sang "Baby
Mine" to the babies. He sang
it at public meetings, lie sang
it on the floor of the chanmber
of commerce when trading was
dull. Everywhere he went he
was called upon for his favorite
soDg and never failed to re
s pond.—E xch an ge
Ul Grippe lnickly Cured.
"In the winter of 1898 and
1899 I was taken down with a
severe attack of what is called
La Grippe," says F. I. Hew
ett. 111. "The only medicine I
used was two bottles of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. It
broke up the cold and stopped
the coughing like magic, and
I have never since been
troubled with Grippe." Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy can al
ways be depended upon to break
up a severe cold and ward off
any threatened attack of pneu
monia. It is pleasant to take,
too, which makes it the most
desirable and one of the most
popular preparations in use for
these ailments. For sale by

In a Michigan town three
persons received by mail what
purported to be sample head
ache powders manufactured at
Savanna. New York, but mail
ed from a near Michigan town.
Two did not hesitate to swallow
the powders, and one of these
suffered intensly while the oth
er, a young married woman,
died in great agony. An ana
lysis showed that strychnia was
the almost exclusive ingredient.
Just as there are people who
are swindled by games which
have been exposed a thousand
times by the newspapers, so
there are others who will eat
candy or take alleged medicines
of the source of wliicH they are
ignorant. It should be a uni
versal rule never to use any
such articles when they do not
come from a known, source.
