HETTY MALIGNED. This rich gem of description comes from an editorial in the Rutherfordton Sun: "Up the street there is a hen. The hen has a nest. Tne nesi is ash barrel. For more than a week she v.,., b.n nrtine aueer. Besides she has rumpled feathers, and is both mottled and speckled. Nobody claims her She got lost somehow about the time of the fire, or the primary, auu seems addled." Victor Hugo was fine on description, PrPt Harte could tell a fascinating story and even Sir Walter Scott could siino. thf Kintr's English in no un worthy manner, but we'll match the above with the best of them. We al ways had faith in tne effects of the mountain air on gray matter. WThere could we find a description of a homeless hen, terser, crisper, more realistic? We are carried back to childhood and in retrospective mood we see again the grini-visidned school master, lord of all he surveyed, and the bunch of hickory rods in the cor ner. We hear again the halting, mon osvllabic hum drum of. "Cat. A cat. See. I see a cat. Rat. A rat etc." But we stray from the Sun's de scription. Hear it again: "She can't fly much for her wings are cropped; so when she is in the spirit she just lifts her stumps and just dodoes from on side of the yard to the other. She's crippled, too. One of her legs is out of joint. Those who have been watching her say she is in earnest and will lay an egg or two after awhile. So curious is she, that it would surprise nobody if in the end she should bring forth a duck egg. Watch Hetty!" We consider it nothing short of downright presumption to thus malign a modest hen, especially behind her back. And to accuse her of ever stooping so low as to lay a duck egg is nothing short of insult. We would not presume to tell our contemporary the meaning of Hetty's actions. She may be passing the transition stage between pulletdom and henhood. Again she may be merely .cutting di does to please inquisitive editors who would disturb her quietude for the C. C. MOORE THE MAN. Secretary Cheatham, of the South ern .Cotton Growers Association, has been asked to ' resign, because of his past conduct. He will be replaced by some good, honest man. Already the name of Mr. C. C. Moore, president of the North Carolina division of the as sociation, has been mentioned most favorably. To our minds there is not a bet ter inanTn the South than Mr. Moore for this position of trust. Mr. Moore knows cotton, he is thoroughly con versant with the workings of the asso ciation. An best of all, he has the work at heart. He has done more Ifor the association than almost any man in the South and his efforts have never lagged. Thoroughly capable he is for this important position, and worthy. We shall be exceedingly glad to hear that he is chosen as Secretary of The Association. "Each Amerrican tars one-third or a barrel of salt each year," observes the Times Herald, but even with this it is not hard to find fresh specimens. "You, Mr. Speaker, will be the next President of the United States," thus quoth Mr. Roosevelt to Uncle Joseph Cannon. But then of course a man can be a good peace-maker and bear hunter, and still be an exceedingly poor prophet. That certainly was a hefty Cannon Presidential boom launched over at Greensboro. But then of recent months the world has grown some what used to earthquakes, world trem ors, etc. Will Be Pior.eer Missionary of A P. Clv.:rch to India.. Miss Minnie Alexander, of Hunters vile, will sail on the 10th of October for India where she goes as a mis sionary under the direction of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church. Miss Alexander has for a few years been a member of the fac ulty of the Due .West Female Col lege, but resigned herv position last year and offered herself to the A. R. F. Synod then in session at Due West as missionary to that field. The A. R. P. Church has never engaged in mission work in India and Miss Alexander will have the honor and distinction of being the pioneer mis tJonary of the church to that needy I art of the country. A Clean, Able, Strong Man. The Dispatch is glad that Mr. W. C. Dowd has been nominated for the house, in Mecklenburg county. He is c.'ean, able and strong. Lexington Dispatch. There will be a reunion of the Marshall family at the Marshall res idence near Dixie on the 31st of AU' gust. A pretty little baby girl has ar- lived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Porter.

Whatever Hetty's rea son may be, we are sure she . has one. Too much confidence we have in the hen, the modest Queen of the universe, to ever question her actions. We venture the assertion that when the proper time comes Hetty will lay aa egg and keep up the habit, but surely after so much fun-making ol her domestic habits, the editor of The Sun could not have the. nerve to eat her eggs. THEN AND NOW. The campaign of 1896 was one bit ter and hard fought. The late Mark Hanna held the national contribution campaign bag for the Republican forces and into it poured one contin uous and gigantic stream of gold from the blood money of toilers, wrung by the iron hands of the corrupt corpora tions of the land. Polluted insurance ciiipanies were profuse in their con tributions of their trustees' money, to . the cause of defeating the "Anarchist, Socialist, fanatic crank" (so termed) Bryan. From the great railways and other colossal corporations came gold and silver galore. Dives was permeated with one ambition, to defeat the ene my of the. trusts and monopolies and the attorney of the common people, the i great Nebraskan. ' But the : tide has changed. Bryan was defeated then by the sheer power of the almighty dollar by the force of gold unjustly and unrighteously used by the money, gods, Today . what a change! The river "of gold has been cut off .at its source. The holder of the campaign bag wears a hunted and despairing look. The leaders grow nervous, for the . flow of money is small, exceedingly small. In their desperation they have adopted the plan of the Democratic party, to ask for one dollar contributions from the poor of the party. And after making this appeal, slowly indeed the funds roll in. How the mighty have fallen! How changed are the tactics of the lead ers! ' ' All of this -goes to prove that, In the political history of the South there has scarcely been a more heated contest than the gubernatorial race in Georgia. The English language has been worked threadbare by the oppos ing candidates and the box; car type in the Journal and Constitution offices has been kept warm from use for months. The best man does not al ways win. Our sympathies were all with Editor Howell, and we regret his defeat. . ,. . .

We quote the News and Observer: "An Ohio Democrat in Washington is quoted by the Washington Post as Frying: "As a matter of fact, Pres ident Roosevelt has Bryanized the country in advocating governmental control of public utilities and all that tort of thing. He has done it be cause he thought it was popular. Bryan believes in that policy be cause he thinks it is right.' " Then he spoke a parable.

The work of tearing away the old buildings from the site for the new .temple of the North Carolina Grrand Lodge on Fay etteville street, this city, is to begin March 1 and the erection of the temple will follow immediately, to be completed within fifteen months. This statement was given out this morning by Grand Master Francis D. Winston after a conference of the temple building committee last night. All tenants of the old buildings are notified to vacate by March 1.- The new temple is to cost more than $100,000 and will be fireproof through cut. Governor Glenn says that while on his trip into the western part of the State the past few days he traveled ever and inspected the Wiikesboro Jefferson turnpike road in which the State is largely interested through receiving stock for convict labor in its construction, and that he found it to be one of the very best in the whole country. The timber interests alone will yield immense fortunes in the sections opened up. He feels confident that it will be a very short time now before there will be a tvolley line In operation over the road. . The morning session of the State Text Book Commission was devoted to hearing publishers of histories. The companies heard were B. F. Johnson & Co., American Book Co., J. B. Lippencott & Co., D. C. Heath & Co.. Silver, Burdett & Co-, South ern Publishing Co., Ginn & Co., University Publishing Co. and Rand, MacNally & Co. The session this afternoon was devoted to publishers of arithmetics. An order has been made by Judge Purnell of the Federal Court here in the case of Rice vs. The Durham Water Works Co. for the expenditure of $8,300 for the improvement of the machinery at the intake pipe of the plant and for lowering the pipes at various points to conform with newH grades in the streets. The Durham water plant has been in the hands of Federal Court Receiver Hardy for six years or longer and is one of several successful receiverships es tablished under the supervision of the Federal Court in this district. It is claimed that Durham has under the operation -of , the receivership a much better water service than would tave been the case otherwise. ; Dress Economy TVerlv pverv farnrKPnt tit called worn out is simply out of style.
