WE LIKE KEELY'S WORK.
Ours is a weakness, if weak
ness it be as claimed by some, to
be an enthusiast for the Keeley
cure for drunkeness. We' are
not surprised at Col. Osborne's
great interest in his work at the
institution in Greensboro wfcei
we note tho good effects wrought
and the deep gratitude of wives
that once had a cloud constantly
hanging over them but now send
letters of joy to him over the
rescue of their husbands. :?
Four hundred thousand is t.be
record of cures since the treat-
TTlDnt, hao hQfln -rTo ntnari
It does not argue against, the
institution that many will ' not
stay cured, for we-think1 it a
certainty that all are cured of
the nervous disease that makes
the desire ior liqudr irresistible.
It is theirs to choose, whether
iney win again expose tnem
selves o the serpent's - coils.
The chrm is broken for. them.
It is needless to say' that the
evil will readily come again if
invited and played with but
why, oh. why, will those who
know its dreadful power not
shun it with watchful care?
T7e wish those who can use
liquors to advantage as a, medi
cine would use it only as such,
thab those who can't use it with
out abuse to themselves would
not touch it and that tl. ;se who
have become slaves to it would
take the Keelev treatment and
free 'bemselves from the terri
ble incubus.
There are those ashamed to go
X)V let it be known that they have
gone to the Keely, but commend
us to the man that will falra tho
cure boldly rather than continue
a shameful practice that he can't
conceal. ' 1 f - . .
The management of the Long
Island railroad has forbidden
its employees to ' address any
female as- "lady" and -requires
"madam" instead. There is
nothing anyhow in the origin of
the term lady to endear it great
-ly. Madam doubtless has a bet-
ter claim in the spheres of
politeness but the good old
enrapturing -: name 5 "woman, "
the best translation of the term
used by the Saviour ' to his
mother at that Cana wedding,
can never fall into disuse or be
cnnond to any term by which she
is designated: ,

Supt. Chas. H Mebano in a let
ter to county . superintendents
and. teachers urging that due im
portance be given to the teaching
against alcoholic drinks and nar
cotics says with decided forco.
If we are to become a sober,
temperate people, wo must look
to the rising regenerations. A
large per cent of the men and
the women--what a pity wo must
name women who are slaves to
narcotics and alcoholic drinks
will never be reclaimed from the
miserable bands which are crush
ing their lives, their hopes and
happiness and hurrying them -on
to fill untimely ; - graves. Then
howimporiani it is that the aw
f ul tonsequences1 of these narco
tics tend drjnksrbe impressed up
onitiemfnds and hearts of the
children. - ;
What strong drink is doing for
the' men from1 twenty to fifty
yearsof age,: tha same, to a woft
derful extent, the cigarette and
tobacco are dpiiig ior the toys
frbm twelve utwenty years 4 of
age. The . tixna has come for
teachers to cry. aloud and spare
not. I care not if our school
fund . is : increased some from
liquor; license, ; ' the more's the
pity, , I care Hot if tobacco men
give their thousands to colleges'
and educational institutions, this
ought not and .will not shut the
mouth of . any true teacher
against these -evils. Yea, what
shall it profit Us if our public
school f unds' are increased and
our colleges are handsomely ; en
dowed, W Pur boys and gi rls . . are
to be ruined! ' -'l'
Let our teachers and County
Superintendents too, be living
examples of tiofal abstinence from
the use of all nacotics " and alco
holic dririks. VI like to see
preacher practice , what he
preaches, and I also like to see a
teacher live-the life he sets up as
a model for his pupils as nearly
as possible. The, very idea of a
Superintendent of Schools or a
teacher taking a drink on the sly
or puffing a' filty pipe, or smok
ing a cigar e tte ! Away with such
conduct on the part of teachers.

"A largo number of relics
wore presented to the museum,
one of the mos.interesting of
which is a walking stick, loaned
to tho society by Mr. S Pitt,
of Battleboro, N. C. This ) stick
was cut front a hickory shrub,
and the distinguished General
gave it to Capt. W L Shaffer;
one of .his command. Capt.
Shaffer had a silver hoad 5put on
it, and on this he had his, own
name engraved. There were
thirteen knobs on the stick, .and
on each of these he carved one
of the letters of the donor. - The
stick at length came into, the
possession, of Mr. B F Pittr who
was the father .of the ,dqnorf

and its owner has refused some
tempting offers for it It- was

Bless the Dear Little Innocents..
Two little folks went to church
alone. It was only around the
corner from their home and
their mamma knew they would
be safe. During the long ser
mon they got tired, and the older
one, supposing that the school
rules held good in church, led
his sister up in front of the pul
pit and said : 'Please, may we go
home?'- Much surprised, the
clergyman gazed at thcm over
his spectacles, then he under
stood and said: Certainly, my
children." And the two toddJed
out, while the congregation
smiled. Raleigh Times-Visitor.
