The disposition to look on the
worst instead of tho best side of

State Fair Notes.
Work on tho Annual State fair
is actively progressing in all de
partments, the officials report.
The attractions, they say, will
be especially interesting this
year. There will be daily grand
ascensions by the famous Bel
mont Sisters, with their mascots,
a dog and a chicken, who are in
the habit of showing off their
accomplishments at fairs and the
ike. These animal come down
with their own parachuttes, and
nothing of the kind has ever
been seen here before. i
There will be a great snake
show, many interesting views
from Egypt, including a Turk
ish marriage. The man that
plays a full orchestra of instru
ments all by himself will be
here, having engaged his priv-
loge some time ago.
In the way of stoam riding
machines one just completed in
tho factory, with poworful instru
ments and finely equipped
throughout, is to be ready for
young riders.
Friday will be Childrous' Day,

HIS SECOND FIRE.
Mr. Wni. Iiradford'a Barn Burned
WeduoBdar Slht -Two Fine Mules
and a Ilorue Perish In the Flames.
On Wednesday night numbers
noticed the reflection on the sky
of a large fire west of here. It
was the barn of Mr. Wm. Brad
ford burning. Mr. Bradford
lives in Mocklenburg county
just across the Cabarrus county
line a short distance.
Some one from in that neigh
borhood brought the news here.
His large barn was burned,
and two fine mulos and one horse
also were consumed.
This is the socond fire that has
visited Mr. Bradford. Numbers
of years ago a fire robbed him
of a considerable amount of cot

The Twentieth Century.
The Scientific American con-
consider it necessary to advise";
its readers that the twentieth
century bog-Ins with January 1,
1901, and not with Janury 1,
1900, as some of them suppose.
The Saientific American is un
doubtedly correct, but it is
strange how many persons and'
intelligent persons, too, will
stand you down that the
nineteenth century will end with
the last day of December of this
year, and that the first moment
of January, 1900, will bo the be
ginning of the twentieth century,
The fact that tho great Paris
exposition is to be held next
year has increased the errone
ous belief that the twentioth cen
tury begins with the year 1900,
but the Paris exposition will eel
ebrate the close of the nineteenth
century, rathor than the opening
of the twentioth.
The twentieth century will
open on a Tuesday and close on
a Sunday. It will have the
greatest number of leap-years
possible for a century twenty
four. Tho year 1904 will be the
first one, then every fourth year
after that to and including the
year 2000. February will three
times have five Sundays; in 1920,
1948 and 1970.
The twentioth century will con
tain 36,525 days, which lacks one
day of being exactly 5,218 weeks.
The middle day of the century
will be January 1, 1951.
Several announcements are
made of changes to be inaugu
rated with the opening of the
new century. The first of im
portance is that Russia will
adopt the Googian calendar.
This will be done bv omittinsr
thirteen days, the amount of
error that will have accumulated
after the close of February 1900.
The Russian r will then write
anuary 1, 1901, instead of De
cember 19, 1900, or rather, in
stead of both, according to the
dual system now in vogue in
that country and in Groece. The
other important announcement
is that it is not at all unlikely
that the astronomical day, which
now begins at noon of the civil
day, will begin with the civil day
at midnight. The present
method of having the astronom
ical day to begin twelve-hours
after the beginning of tho civil
day is apt to be confusing.
in many countries festivities
and celebrations of various kinds
are already being projected and
arranged in honor of thecontury
which will dawn before most of
us are ready for it.

The Whipping Font
Delaware has received much
criticism on account of tho whip
ping poft law, which has boen in
force some years in that State.
On Saturday nine men were pub
licly whipped at New Castle for
the crimes of burglarly and petit
lareny, in the presence of 500
people. Thero was no pretence
about tho punishment. Tho lash
was laid 011 according to the man
ner provided by the law. It is
easy to say harsh things about
punishment in this form, and tho
so-called humanitarians and the
supor-senitive have not been
sparing in their condemnation.
Thero is, however, another side
of tho case. The fact that Dela
ware has tried this method of
pun ishmcnt, and refuses to repeal
tho law, is evidence that experi
ence has shown that it is not ad
visable to abolish the whipping
post. There is nothing more
valuable in the study of crime
than experience in finding out
what method of punishment is
best adapted to certain cases,
Delaware lias concluded that ap
plying the cat-o'-nine-tail to
thieves is better than locking
them in jail for six months and
feeding them at the State's ex
pense. Baltimore Sun.
Fay to Keep Cotton Clean.
It is a mistaken idea that some
farmers have that it does not pay
to keep their cotton clean. Mr,
Jere Brown, ono of our good far
merswho has always been careful
to keep the cotton as free from
dirt and trash as possible, had
two bales sold in Norfolk two or
three days ago that sold above
the market price. Messrs. W.
D. Rountreo and Company, who
sold it wrote that it brought the
"highest price we have heard of
any cotton selling for up to the
present this session." Patron
and Gleaner.
Counterfeiters Run Down.
A gang of counterfeiters have
been run down and the princi
pals have been arrested and
lodged in jail in the eastern part
of tho State. The moulds and
metal have hoen found and
ceizod. Publicity is yet incom
plete.
Cul.r Line Tight.
Tho color line is drawn more
closely in the Transvallthun any
where we know of. A negro is
not allowed to walk on the side
walks but must walk in tho mid
dle of the road or street.
Clerical Optimism.
"How is the world using you,
pastor?" was asked of a happy
itinerant Methodist preacher in
Georgia.
"First-clnss, sir, first class,"-
"Nothing to coitiplu Ti of, eh? "
"Nothing at all, sir-nothing
at all. Tho festival for the bene
fit of the new organ came out
only $30 in debt; the fair for
the new lightning rod was $20
behind, and the watermelon
party for the new bell was $10

She Conquered the Germans.
In the Franco-German war the
French hospital at Vendorae was
in charge the late Mme. Coralie
Cahen, one of the most noted
nurses of the time. There aided
by two nurses and seven Chris
tian sisters of mercy, she re
ceived thousands of French and
German soldiers. When the
Prussians occupied Vendome,
they wished to hold tho hospital
and plant on it the Gorman flag.
But. warned of the enemy's in
tentions, Mme. Cahen, early one
January morning, visited the
Prussian general, who, sur
rounded by hi staff, was about
to seize tho building.
"Sir," she exclaimed, "we
have receivod your woundod and
nursed thorn as though they were
our own. We will continue to
do so, but we will romain in a
French hospital. We will not
have it converted into a German
hospital."
"Madame," was the reply, "we
are masters."
"In the town it may be; here,
no!" was the answer. "We are
protected by the Rod Cross and
the French flag. You have no
right to touch either the one or
the other."
She conquered, and from that
day the utmost admiration was
openly evincod for her by the

Dewey May Wed.
Amid all the notoriety of Ad

forth-coming about his domestic

Hazon is said to be wealthy and
vory attractive, a genuine society
lady, too. The hero is 62 years
old and will henceforth have lit

and live in a home given hiin by
appreciative people. All this
beside a woman's natural pride
in a husband that everybody is
looking at with admiration,

Politeness In Edgecombe.
Does the blarney of the Irish
more than equal that of the ne
gro? In tho following instance,
certainly not: Elias Carr, Jr.,
some time ago, so my informant
tells, on a warm dusty road, was
taking a young lady from War-
ronton out to Bracebridge. The
conversation drifted to polite
ness, when the lady began to in
sist that the negroes in Warren
county were so much more po
lite than elsewhere. She was
persisting in her contention till
the carriage passed a wagon
which the two had seen drive out
of tho road when more than one
hundred yards ahead. As they
passed the driver, Reddick
Hines, he doffed his hat and
said, "Howdy do, Mr. Elias, I
stopped, fearin' I was makin' too

Four Days of Fightiiii;.
Thore has been more or less
activity in the Philippines for
the past several days. It is said
that there have been four days of
fighting. Capt. Eldridgo, of the
14th Infantry, and Lieut. Grubbs,
of the 6th, wore killed. There
were ten or twelve men killed or
wounded. Three men on an out

Description of Dewey's Sword.
It will be remembered that
Congress appropriated as much
as $10,000 for the Dowoy sword.
The following description may
appoase tho curioyity of some as
to how such sword is made.
"The sword, oxcopt its steel
blade and tho body metal of its
scabbard, is entirely 22-karat
gold. On tho pommel is carved
tho name of tho battleship Olyra
phia, which was Dewey's flagship
at Manila, and the zodiacal sign
for December, in which lucky
month Dewey was born. Ci
cling these is a closuiy woven
wreath of oak loaves, long em
oloved to indicate and adorn
rank.
Below these the pommel is em
braced by a gold collar on the
front of which are the arms of
the United States -with the blue
field of shield in enamal. Below
them are the arms of Vermont,
Dewey's native state, with the
motto, "Freedom and Unity,"
and the colors of the shield in
enamel.' Tho fplain part of
the gold collar is decorated with
stars and a graceful finish is giv
en to it by a narrow bunk of oak
loaves. The sword blade is Da
mascenod, with tho inscription:
; "THE Ol FT OF THE NA-
' TION TO HE All ADMIRAL ;
; GEORGE DEWEY, U.S. N., .'
I IN MEMORY OF THE VIC-
TORY AT MANILA HAY, :
! MAY 1, 18H8."
Tho sword grip is covered with
fine shark skin bound with gold
wire and inlaid with gold stars.
Tho guard is an eagle termina
ting in a claw which grasps the
top in which the blade is set; the
oagk-'s outstretched wings form
tho guard proper.
Tho scabbard is of this stool,
Damascened in gold, with sprays
of a delicate sea plant, the Ross
Mariuus, typical of fidelity, con
stancy and remembrance. Those
sprays are interlaced, stars 1.11
tho inner spaces, dolphins the
outer spaces. Sprays of oak
loaves and acorns secure the ring
and trappings of tho scabbard
above these on the front of the
scabbard is a raised monogram
in diamonds, entwining tho lot
lers "G. D., and immediately mi
der them are the letters "U. S.
N.," surrounded by sprays of the
plant.
The ferrule, or lower end of
the scabbard, terminates in en
twined gold dolphins.
Tho sword box is of white o; k
inlaid with black velvet, and at
the center of the cover a gold
shield surmounted by an eagle
and inscribod with a single star
and the words, "Rear Admiral
