Durham It ls-a hard matter to
reahz? that we are not reading about
Greensboro when e look over some
of the, articles in his paper. The
law was never drafted that will keep
a city clean. It is a matter that
rests solely with the property owner.

One of the beat things we have
seen on Dr. Cy Thompson's attack
on the church is from the pen of
one who takes the yiew that long
after Thompson is in hell the chuicb
will live on. He says: "And 'the
Church of the Living God goes on
serenely with its work, that of teach
ing man the merits of the atone
ment, charityfor his neighbor, love
for his enemies and pity and com
passion and loving kindness and
tender ministrations to the poor, the
weak and the fallen. There haye
been Cy Thompsons in evey age and
in every clime. The Thompsons die
and the church Jlives. - Monroe En

We very gladly give space to the
7 article, in another column, by Mrs,
Dr. Smoot, of our city. She was at
la.
Oxford before Mr, Lawrence's ad
ministration. The coi respondent,
like the rest of us, cannot kpow how
things are now ; but it-is hard to be"
lieve that the asylum has come to
the condition represented by the lit

The Tramp Nuisance.
To the Commissioners of Concord,
Greeting :
If we judge from the number of
tramps who infest our borders dur
ing; the winter season, we must con
clude that Concord is a fine place
for tramps. We know that onr peo
ple are generous and hospitable, but
we fear that much of their charity,
if not all, in feeding tramps is un
worthily bestowed. Indeed such
help is not Christian charity, but
direct encouragement to vagrants
Jin violating the laws of God and
man. More than this the women
j re responsible for the nuisance;
Just as long as they feed them they
will come, and for every one they
feed twenty more may be expected.
When we were first troubled with
tramps they were generally men who
were foreign born. Many could not
speak our language, and there was
some shadow of an excuse for their
condition Then came the native
American. Men who, though strong
and able to work preferred to b?g.
They were likewise supported from
house to house through the sym
pathy and mistaken charity of the
housewife.
Next came the negro man, and he
was no uncommon visitor last winter.
An easy way to live no wonder
that he should fall into it. And
now last, and the most despicable of
all, we have the woman.
Yes, actually, during the past
few days women haye wandered
over this town begging not bread,
but money. One wanted to fix a well,
another to go to her sistei, another
to buy medicine, and so on," ad in
finitum, until the poor homekeepers
have decided that this is too much.
We could stand the foreigner, we
helped the native American man,
we could not turn a deaf ear to the
negro, but when it comes to the
women it is time' to stop and we
must have relief.
What then is to be done ? We
have two methods to suggest. First,
let the housekeepers" refuse assisU
ance to all tramps without regard to
race, color, previous condition of
servitude or sex; and second, let the
town commissioners in the next
regular meeting pass an ordinance
requiring the ariest of any person
found begging on the street or from
house to house. Police regulations
are fadly needed, and the house
keepers ask relief of the city fathers
in thu3 abating ; a buisance which
afflicts almost every home within
our limits and constantly growing
worse and more dangerous to public
morals and good order. -

LIFE SAVED
. ; By the Persistent Use of
AyePs Sarsaparilla
"I was troubled for years with a
sore on my knee which several
physicians, who treated me, called a
cancer, assuring me that nothing
could be done, to save my life. As
a last resort, I 'was induced to try
Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and, after tak
ing a number of bottles, the sore
began to disappear and my general
health improve. I persisted in this
treatment, Until the sore was en
tirely healed. Since then, I use
Ayer's Sarsaparilla occasionally as
a tonic and blood-purifier, and, in
deed, it seems as though I could not
keep house without it."- Mrs. S. A.
