IT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
A special from Greensboro of
the 4th to the Charlotte Observer
.says:
"This is the fourth and last
day of the gala vreek. The po
lice make the somewhat remark
able report that during the fes
tivities of the week not a single
. arrest has been made for drunk
enness or disorderly conduct.
We will not attempt to assign the
cause of so unusual a record, but
will, call attention to the fact that
Oreensboro now has, instead of
nine bar-rooms, one dispensary
in which rio treating or drinking
is allowed, and which closes at
sun -down. The public can draw
its own conclusions."
This is truly hard to beat and
confirms what we have heard
from other sources that the dis
pensary has effected a moral
1 revolution in Greensboro. There
are two better ways than to have
"bar rooms.
A Washington Dispatch says
it is most probable that Secre
tary Root will increase Gen.
Otis' force to 40,000 available
troops. Gen. Miles, it seems, is
to figure a little more in the
affairs of which he is the head
than he has been permitted to
do during our late military oper
ations. And why not if he is to
hold the rank and draw the pay
of the ranking officer ?
The authorities of the Penn
sylvania railroad have finally
iixed upon a system of pension
ing their employes. At the age
of 70 retire ment is required and
30 years of continued service en
titles one to retirement even
though not 70 years old. It will
take a fund of $300,000 per an
num to effect it. This looks like
corporations have souls after all
or that they see their interests
in a way that will abundantly
supply the lack of souls so f ar as
others are concerned.
The Busy are the Happy.
"The Tunoccupied are alway un
happy. It is the very wealthy
and the very poor who are rest
less, miserable, criminal, sinful.
It is not necessarily so. We all
irnow, among those in the deep
est poverty, there are those,.
iWhose lives are governed by the
ihighest ideals. Poverty does not
"inake all men gross and brutish.
Again, many of the noblest of
-the , world's noblemen,, like the
-rich young man who came to
Christ, are to be found among
.those who have great posses
sions. . JBut in these two conditions
-"there are the greatest tempta
tions, and the strongest ; influ
ences to' lead away from truth
and right. Therefore, as poverty
is undesirable, so also great
riches are not to be coveted. As
vepray daily to be delivered
from teniptations, so we should
strive to free ourselves from the
temptations , which surround the
exceedingly poor, and remember
ito be glad that we need not meet
Ai5iose which' come with great
wealth. Ex.
COAST TOWNS WIPED OUT.
The Florida Storm More Serious Than
First Reported.
. A dispatch from ;Eiyer Junc
tion, Ma. , of the , 4 th!says :
tfThe" most disastrous .cyclone
That ever visited this section of
Florida completely annihilated
narrahP p . -Mcvmtvre ana La
nark Inn, south of here. Wednes
day. At Carrabelle. only nine
houses remain of a once beauti-,
ftil and prosperous town. ConV
munications from : the mayor
state that 200 families are with
out homes or .shelter and many
are completely destitute. Of
Mclntyre,. only two mm v Doners
mark the site of the i town. Jua
nark Inn, the famous summer
resort, was blown into the Gulf.
The Carrabelle, Tallahassee &
Georgia Railroad is washed
away for a distance of thirty
miles. A passenger train was
blown from the trade more man
100 yards and many passengers
were injured, but their names
were not obtainable."
Four hundred.thousand feet of
lumber and 50,000 barrels of
rosin were swept from the
wharves and thirteen of the fif
teen vessels in the bay lie high
out on the land.
The loss of life is not yet as
certamea. jtf'iiteen men were
seen fishing on a little island
just before the storm. Nothing
is known of them since.
The dispatch further says :
"Three pilot boats and steam
ers Iola and Capitolia, and 40
boats under 20 tons were lost.
Six lumber lighters, loaded, are
scone. Not one of the entire fleet
can be saved.
'Five unidentified bodies were
recovered today, supposed to be
sailors. Tug boats have gone
from here to the scene of the
wreckage, and all possible aid is
being given. Fifty destitute
sailors were brought here today
and are being cared for. A mass-
meeting of citizens is being held
herei tonight and all possible aid
will be given the Carrabelle des
titute. One million dollars will
not cover the loss. The insurance
is small.
What We Go to Church For.
We go to church to worship
God; and His attributes include
all that is noble in life, all that is
hopeful in death, and all that is
beautiful in thousrht or nature;
What a man worships determines
wnat ne is. To sincerely adore
ana appreciate goodness, wis
dom, -power. Dure loveliness
and intelligence, as exhibited in
the character of the Christ of the
Bible, is to be inspired with the
highest thoughts and become a
partaker m an increasing meas
ure of that grand divine nature.
We go to church to reform evil.
to secure strength in our weak
ness, to revive our hoDe. to ob
tain comfort in grief, to elevate
our thinking, to purify and in
tensify our feelings, to preserve
ana restore our nealth, to in
crease our knowledge, to arouso
our love for all that is good, to
make our home more sweet, to
make society more brotherly and
peaceiui, to get rest from care,
to be better fitted for business, to
secure enthusiasm for heroic
deeds, and to find happiness. i
