C'harloite observer The Wilmington Messenger says: "There must be an immense amount of lawlessness and fraud among the illicit distilleries and revenue othcers of the western part of this State. The time of the Federal Courts of that dis trict is taken up in trying these men for violations of the law. We suppose illicit distilling breeds more crime than than any other unlawful occupation men engage in." The Messenger than notes the recent burning of a barn in Guilford county because the owner reported blockaders, one of the three men having made confession of the crime. Such inci dents are not by any means rare in some sections of North Carolina, but it is seldom that the tirebugs are de tected. It does seem that the revenue oflieiala are uncovering a lot of block aders these dayg, and there are doubt less many who are not caught. Indeed, it is asserted that there is more illicit distilling going on in Norths-Carolina than ever before. If so, probably noth ing could be worse for the State, for, as our Wilmington contemporary says, "illicit distilling breeds more crime than any other unlawful occupation men engage in." There is something about crime of all kinds that begets other violations through mere contam- inaiion, as it were. Itiis is in some cases shown in the matter of licensed distilleries where the practice of evad ing the law is followed. In the case of the full-Hedged "moonshine" distiller it is often necessary for him to terror ize an entire community in order to conduct his operations. The Guilford barn-burning incident was a case in point. In connection with ttie blockading of whiskey we are reminded that the United States officials seem still to le the only ones interested in enforcing j the laws, despite the State statute on the subject and the intimation that county otticers would hereafter co-ore-rate with the raiders of Uncle Sim. The Watts law has played havoc with the licensed distilleries in some sections, lit it is of no consequence lu kerplug down moonshiners, it seems. I'll jkl tan A (II ram Smallpox and Spot led Fever are nol Contagion. II i t 1 -oia., Conn., May 12 At the annual meeting of the Connecticut Eclectic Medical Association to-day Dr. S. B. Munn, of Waterbury, in a report on diseases, declared that smallpox and spotted fever were not contagious. "The great st disease of to-day," he said , ' ' ia fear which physicians inoculate into the community. There is an epi demic of everything with the old school physicians except one of common sense." He Baid that he had noticed since the State Board of Health had been organ ized the death rate had increased rather than decreased. "Doctors," he said, "do more to frighten people into dis eases than any other one cause." He gave it as his opinion that vaccination was generally advocated because it meat money in the doctor's pocket. Subtraction. A teacher in a western public school was giving her class the first lesson in subtraction. "Now, in order to sub tract," she explained, things have to be always of the same denomination. For instance, we couldn't take three apples from four pears or six horses from nine dogs." A hand went up in the back part of the room. "Teaclur," shouted a email Ioy, can't you take four quarts of milk from three cows?" How to Ward ffT Old Age. The most successful way of warding otl the approach of old age is to main tain a vigorous digestion. This can be done by eating only food suited to your age and occupation, and when any dis order of the stomach appers take a dose of Chamberleiu's Stomach and Liver Tablets to correct it. If yon have a weak stomach or are troubled with indi gestion, you will tiud these Tablets to be just what you what you need. For sale by M. L. Marsh and D. D. Johnson.

Correspondence Charlotte Observer. R( KiNi.HAM, May 12. B. Diion Armstrong, of Alabama, assistant see retary of the central organization of the Southern Cotton Association, spent to day in Rockingham. He is gathering data for a report to le submitted to a meeting of the division presidents of the .southern Cotton Association, called to meet iti New e:leiie on Mj- ?o. In an interview with The Observer correspondent to-day, Mr. Armstrong stated that a reduction in acreage of the cotton crop of the South amounting to from 1" to 20 per cent , was an ac complished fact. He stated that the reduction in North Carolina was about 22 per cent. He has personally visited ten counties in this State already, and has been in every cotton State except South Carolina, where he will go from this State. His information as to the amount of reduction in acreage, he says, is not taken from the statement of one, or even a few men, in each county; but is gathered from a system atic canvasB of every voting precinct. The names of five reliable farmers in each precinct are obtained. These are requested to report on conditions in their several localities. 'The reason I came to North Caro lina," said Mr. Armstrong, "was that the report had gotten abroad out in Texas that you people here were plow ing up the fence corners and waste places and putting them in cotton, and the fellows out there were raising cain about it. When I got here I found that it was generally understood in North Carolina that the Ttxans had jumped the game and were putting in a big crop." Mississippi, according to Mr. Arm strong, is probably ahead of any other State in the reduction of acreage, due to the fact that Governor Yardaman has taken the stump and spoken all over the State advising reduction. An 1 nuKiial Advertlaenieiil. The Columbia, S. C, Record pub lishes the following among its want advertisements : Wantkd You to know God never forgets a kind act. After the civil war I found an old one armed soldier almost dead lying on the road. Me and my old mother, I only fifteen years old, two children younger than myself, oldest brother dead on batte field, father dead, and Sherman had left us but little bread. I took the old soldier, kept him four months, divided my little bread with him. To-day he and his three boys are fishermen, catching thousands of shad and fresh water bream, and he won't ship to any one in this itate but me. Many of my competitors offer him 15 and 20 cents, more on each shad than he charges me, but be only sends their letters to me and tells me to sell them. The fact is he is now divine me and my family bread. This D O - m is no fairy story, but facts. God never forgets a kind act. P. J. Rccker, near the postoffice.

Stephen Girard made no pretense of religion himself, and showed Bcant com tesy for the religion of other men. And yet Stephen Girard had profound re spect for the religion that made men faithful. One Saturday he ordered his clerks to come the following day and unload a vessel which had juat arrived. It was no work of necessity or of mercy. It merely suited the millionaire's conven ience that the vessel should be unload ed as quickly as possible, and sent to sea again. One of his clerks had strong convictions, and courage to act upon them. "I am not accuetomed to do unnec essary work cn Sunday," said he, "and I cannot come." Mr. Girard was astonished; he was not accustomed to disobedience, and had no mind to tolerate it. He told the young man that unless he could obey instructions he must give up his posi tion, and the young man went. For three weeks the discharged man walked the streets of Philadelphia look ing for a position. His mother was perilously near to want, and the ques tion forced itself upon him repeatedly whether his convictions had required of him so great a sacrifice. When he was almost discouraged, he was surprised to receive a message from the president of a new bank, offering him the position of cashier. Yery gratefully he accepted it, and later he learned that it was Stephen Girard who had nominated him for the situation. The bank president had asied Mr. Girard if he could find him a suitable man for the place, and Mr. Girard after some reflection, named this young man. The banker was surprised that he should name a man whom he had lately discharged. "I discharged him," said Mr. Girard, because he would not work on Sunday; but the man who will lose his situation from principle is the maD you can trust with your money." Even men who have no religion of their own appreciate in others convic tions that make them faithful. I was taking luncL.eon with a friend the other day who has a little boy alnjut three years old, writes A. P. A., in Harrier's Magazine. As a very special favor, and to please me, his mother allowed him to come to the table, telling me that ehe could not promise that he would behave in the proper manner, as she had never tried him before. The bright little fellow behaved very well through the first part of the lunch, and his mother was feeling proud of him. When the dessert came on the table, and proved to be ice cream, his favorite dessert, the small boy wanted a second help. This his mother would not allow him. "If you don't give me some," he said, "I'll tell on you." His mother Btill refused, and the youngster called out: "If you don't give it to me before I count ten, I'll tell. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. His mother still paid no atttention to him and he Bhouted out : "My pants are made out of the win dow curtain." Anked, Hut Not Answered. At an examination in an English school, the teacher was bo pleased with his class that he said they could ask him any question they liked. Some were asked and replied to. Seeing one little fellow in deep thought, the teacher asked him for a question. The boy answered, with a grave face: "P please, sir, if you was in a Boft mud-heap up to ycur neck, and I was to throw a brick at your head, would you duck?" The answer is not recorded.
