Our employers do not decide whether we shall stay where we are or Ko on and up; we decide the matter ourselves.

There is an ever-recurrent plaint that conversation is a lost art. Con versation ia not an art; it is a habit. The talking habit is a sul)sti- tute for the thinking liabit. That the two cannot exist side by side is best exemplified by the average politician. The same thing may be observed by listening to preachers. Talking as a habit baa not gone out entirely. Many young girls are still taught to begin chattering as soon as they join a crowd and to keep on chattering as long as their breath holds out. Many young men are still encouraged to be brilliant conversationalists, which means that they are to say nothing glibly to people who not only aren ot interest ed but who are trying to do same thing themselves. People who have ideas worth ex pressing do n(,it have enough of them to vie with the chatterers. Furthermore, it is hard for them to find people who can or will grasp ideas. Finally, the fewer words used to expre?..^ an idea the better. Ideas are the greatest known foe to con versation. If, therefore, the so-called art of conversation is obsolescent, there is no need for worry. To say that, when people get together they should begin to gabble and jabber ,1ust for tl)e sake of gabbling and jabbering, is no mroe sensible than to say that they .should ail take easels and palettes or pianos and madly set to painting or playing, which are merely other forms ot expression.—Life.

The bills may loose their perpetua tion, the sun may even cease to shine upon us, and the heavens may with draw their acoustics from the rever- iierating thunder; yea, even the light ning will no longer flash, and the gen tle rains will aviate instead of descend but the drunk stays by Judge Smith’s temple of justice forever and anon. One for a ne«t egg this morning: R. W. Chaney, white, $5 and expenses. Geo. Crawford, colored waiter at the Gem Restaurant, was found guilty of retailing and fined $50 and costs. He was seen by Officer J. T. Wilson in the act of delivering a pint of whis key to a white man, C. L. Swain, last night about 10 o’clock and promptly arrested. Swain testified to having purchased it from Crawford at the time and place above mentioned. Judge F. I. Osborne appeared for the defendant and appealed the decision. The defendant was admitted to bail iu the sum of $100 which was fmmlshed. The case of retailing against the East Avenue Drug Co. was called but Mas continued on a technical objec tion raised by the defendants counsel. Mr. J. D. McCall, in regard to the m.anner in which the summons had been served, the legal methods in serv ing a summons on a corporation, be ing to give ten day’s notice in writ ing. This had not been done. This case is the outgrouth of the one in which A1>e Audrey, manager, was in dicted about 3 weelvs sinj^e for sell ing one pint of whiskey lo one Sam Cochran. Audrey was acquitted and ;ho corporation was indicted. The iiast Avenue Drug Co. is a ne gro concern. R. W. Wentz, the Poplar street res taurant keeper, charged with retail ing, was acquitted, as were also T. A. Hoover and Tonr M(X)re, witnesses in the case, v.^ho were indicted for per jury for testimony given iir the trial yesterday nioiping. Summarized, the case is as follows; Wentz’s place was searched by the police and 52 pints, or three cases, of whiskey were found. The law makes the possession of more than 2 1-2 gal lons of whipkey ii)so facto evidence of guilt. Wentz was indicted. Hoover and Moove testified to owning one case each of the whiskey. Tuis evidence Uiiiess disju’ovpn cleared Wontz of the cjiarge. The state upon information and belief brought a charge of per jury against thenr. Mr. E>. Trawick, freight aerent for the Soutliern Ra'lv/ny, vv-as-placed u])on the stand and svv'cre that the records of his company did not shov/ a delivery on the dates claimed, Dec. 30th, and 31st to either Hoover or Moore, but that they did show a delivery of one case to have beetr made to a negro drayman for Wentz’s account rtj)on a written order from the latter. Requested by the court for a posi- rise oath as to whether a delivery had been iviade to either Hoover or Moore on the dates in question, the v.'itness did not make it. Upon this evidence the cases were disnrissed. “GET IT AT HAWLEY’S." Quick Delivery Safe, certain rapid delivery of all goods ordered by wire, mail or in person.

Dana Uruand sent the telegram, the head of which read: “High Point city, popula tion. 13^h census, 9,525; 12th census, 1,163.” While now and then dissatis faction was expressed that the figures were not as large as expected, the conservatiA'e citizens realized that almost as many as a third of High Point’s inhabitants reside orrtside of the corporate limits, and, if included, in the census would easily bring the population to 12,000. As It stands. High Point has gained a greater per centage than any town in the state. There’s much pleasure expressed / among the citizens that Mr. W. C. Dowd has been chosen speaker of the house.

When one suffers the tortrures of an aclring back, relief is eagerly sought for. There are many remedies today that relieve but do not cure. Here is evidence to prove that Doan’s Kidney Pills cure, and the cure is lasting. Mrs. S. W. Beattie, 807 E. Ninth St., Charlotte, N. C., says; “Since using Doan’s Kidney Pills several years ago, I have had no trouble from my kidneys and am only too pleased to confirm my former statement given for publication in favor of this remedy. I suffered for years from backache and though 1 used remedy after remedy I could find nothing that would give me relief. See ing an advertisement about Doan’s Kidney Pills, I thought that they might help me and procure*’ a supply at R. H. Jordan & Co.’s Qrug store. After I had taken the contents of several boxes, I was so much relieved that I stopped using them and for more than a year I was free from the trouble. At the end of that time, however, I again had an attack of backache, but Doan’s Kidney Pills again cured me.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
