Days for deeds are few, my brother, Then to-day fullil thy vow. If you mean to help another, lo not dream it do it now! Wasletl Time aiitl Opportunities. Time slips by us almost unheeded, never to return. Tt can not be saved like money, to be used after awhile, or stored in a reservoir. Each mo ment is iven to us but once. We must make use of it or it will pass away, never to return. To the wage worker Especially time is of very great value. He can not afford to waste an' of it. This does not mean that he should never bo idle. On the contrary, he will make a great mistake if by overtasking himself he cripples his powers of work. Time is wasted unless it is used so as to keep a sound mind in a sound body. There must bean adequate allowance of time for rest and time for recrea tion, or the time for work can not be fully utilized. The greatest waste of time and op portunities, however, is committed by young men and young women. ThejT do not realize the value of time until years have rolled away and thev hnd themselves bound down to hard labor that they might have es caiied if they had taken time to im prove their minds or develop some kind of special skill that would put their services in demand. Much of the distress of the world falls upon the workers of little skill, whose places can be easily tilled from a great throng of other incompetents, always seeking a job. Very many of the.se (not all, perhaps) have wast ed time and opportunities in their youth. They have sought recreation and amusement when they should have been studying; they have re fused to work at any calling that re quired them to soil their hands or their cloth Hies; thev have ueeepted i 1 I ations ami have reached j ignorant. la;:v and mcaiia- easy situation.- manhood ignorant, lazy and lncaj ble of giving useful service to their employers. 15ut they can not recall one minute of the wasted hours and days of their youth. No repentance will bring back to them lost opportunities. They are doomed as by a fate, for which thev are themselves in part ponsible, to a life of ill paid toil or of shame. This lesson can not be too often held up lie fore the young, for they are thoughtless and always more or less indifferent to the les sons of experience. Here and there, however, fine may be found who will listen to the warning and guard against the waste of time. In doing so he need not sacrifice the rational enjoyments of life. There is abun dant time for play, as well as for study and work and rest, if one will make a proper division. And there will be no waste of time if each hour is made to help build up the physical, mental or moral qualities, or to de velop some special skill that will be useful in the bread-winning contests of the future. Cheerfulness. Whoever said, "Laugh and the world laughs with you: weep and you weep alone," was indeed wise, for no truer sentiment was ever written. There is nothing so certain to make you disliked as to tell your troubles to your friends. Prosperity means friendship. You are welcome everywhere. The world laughs at your witty sayings and makes merry with you. There comes a time when you are downhearted and fortune ceases to smile on you, and you look for sym pathy from the dear friends who have shared your prosperity; but, alas! you look in vain, and there are some who kindly vote you a bore. People prefer amusement, and the sight of a forlorn countenance is not pleasant. The best thing, when you can force yourself to it. is cheerfulness. It is a great tonic. It is light and air to our moral nature. To be with out it is to be without something that answers to the mind as clothes and shelter to the body. According to the Statesville Land mark, the valuation of real and per sonal property in Iredell county has fallen off over $100,000 within the past year. The town of Statesville alone shows a decrease of over 2,lloo. While ill Chicago, Mr. Charles I,. Kah le'. a prominent shoe merchant of Des Moines.

Hill Says That lie is Determined 1o Kill Some of Tlicni. Peware of dogs. I want a dog law right now. I can't get up half a dozen times in the night to shoot a jMipgun pistol at the dogs. I never saw such a crop as there is this year; I never knew them so impudent. Every night they congregate all round my house and on the front portico and the back piazza. They play awhile and fight awhile. By the time I get the pistol and open the door they scatter and I can't get aim in the dark on any one never could shoot much on the wing no how. But give nie a double-barrel shotgun and a fence to rest it on and a dead still game within easy reach and I can shoot as good as anybody. I'm waiting for moonlight nights now, and then woe be unto dogs. There are a dozen or more here every night. They are holding a protract ed meeting or a dogmatic convention and I think that our Scotch dog laddie presides. The other night I got up and slip ped around in my celestial garments until I caught cold. 1 shot three times, but the dogs never yelped nor run away. Next morning my wife gave her consent for me to use st rick nine. So I visited the drug store and called for the deadly poison. The young man looked at me with a suspicious tone of voice and asked me if I had been reading Bob Inger soll on suicide, but he linally put up the stricknine and made me sign a receipt on the nisen book. That night just before we went to church j I Kicked up our dog and put out two ,f luf -it il.rt li'i, l.- t.iov nnil two at the front door. When we came back the beef was gone, but not the dogs. It looked to he like they were more thicker, more dens er, as Cabe says. I put out four more pieces and got up about mid night and prowled around with a lantern. I found a big spotted hound staggering and reeling at the back door. He fell over the old mare's water bucket and seemed to me to be enjoying his agonies. 1 waited on him awhile and concluded to hurry him up a little; so I went hack and got the little pistol and put it in about a foot of his head and fired.

Dogs are curious creatures. There is no animal of better qualities or worse ones; no race of animals of such endless variety. There is none so loyal to his master and disloyal to other people, and hence nobody cares for any dog except his own. But the best dogs in the world have a streak of wolf nature in them. The most faithful watch dog will lip off j between midnight and day to join in a raid upon a neighboring flock of j slu'ep. I have known them to go two miles to engage in this business and nothing betrayed them but the wool that was between their teeth. The discovery was astounding to their owners. Somehow or other dogs have been under the ban in all ages and coun tries. At least other people's dogs have. Goliath said to David: "Am I a dog?'" etc. David said: "I am compassed about with dogs." St. John ruled them out of heaven, for he said: "Without are dogs and sor cerers and murderers and idolaters," etc. He saw horses in heaven, but no dogs. The ancient astronomers declared the dog star to have an evil, malignant influence, and hence the weather was hot and fiery during the thirty or forty days that it rose and set with the sun in July and August. Even the small boy takes his first lesson in swearing by say ing "dog on it," or "I'll be dogged." This may be called a cursory ex pression, but sometimes it leads to cur-sing. Some men are meaner than the common run of dogs. Shakespeare says: "I'd rather be a dog and bay the moon." One of the first hymns we children learned was by Dr. Watts and it began 'Let dogs delight to hark and bite, For God hath made them so. But Byron was .nore appreciative and said: "I love to hear the watch dog's honest bark." And for the last century mankind have been more considerate of these useful and trusty creatures. The breed has been improved very greatly. Indeed, there have been exceptional breeds afar back in the centuries. But, nevertheless, we are desper ately hostile to dogs right now at my house. My wife says I must do something and I'm going to do it. I give warning right now to all my nabors, white and black. A dog that won't stay at home at night is not worth keeping. Our little grand child had a pair of beautiful pet rab bits and these dogs have killed them and I'm going to kill the dogs. I don't say it in any dogmatic manner, but I'll be dogged if I don't. I Bill Ari He Stopped tlie Concert. Orevnsboro Kecord. Tuesday night there was a big crowd of darkies on the train going to Winston. They had just enough corn juice on hand to make them feel musical and they were singing away in fine form when a certain piano tuner from Salem, whose nerves were in imminent danger of collapsing from the unearthly sounds, arose and went through the car shaking hands. Iu less than five minutes the con cert ceased abruptly and every fel low was seen scratching his hands with might and main, while several crowded around the water cooler and washed their hands, only to make matters worse. The piano tuner was loaded with "cow itch," a powder which will set a fellow on fire. While shakinghands he left just a little with each man and it had the desired effect. Yet not one of them suspected him; they thought something blowing in at the windows caused it. How Times Do Change. CuneorU Stiiii(l:irfl. A certain girl in Cabarrus found a package of love letters written to her mother by her father before they were married. The daughter saw that she could have a little sport, and read them to her mother, pre tending they were of a late date, and substituting her name for that of her mother, and that of a fine young man for that of her father. The mother jumped up and down in her chair, shiftirfg her feet and swmed terribly disgusted and for lauV her daughter having anything to do with the vounirmaii who ould write such sickening and nonsensical stuff to a girl. When the young la dy handed the letters to her mother to read, the house became so still that one could hear the grass grow ing in the back yard. m . Nominate Your I '.est Men. Ashelmru Courier. There has never been a time when party ties were so easily broken. It is going to bo largely a matter of men in the present contest. The i Democratic party has such a wealth of material to select from that there is no reason why candidates should not be capable and acceptable so as to command the sujiport of the jeo , .

This j applies to one party as well as an-j other. There is no fear on our part ; that Democrats will nominate other ; than clean handed men. The reason j we call attention to it now is the great importance of the subject, j A .Machine to Pick Cotton. Eli Whitney, of New Haven, Conn., grandson of the famous inventor of the cotton fin. has in turn invented Tyinj.lime which iiuiv revolutionize cotton picking. It resembles an or dinary grain harvester. The me chanism is operated by an endless chain attached to one of the rear wheels of the harvester. A series of vertical cylinders, suspended from the bottom of the wagon, with hooks and rolls attached, gathers the cotton from the plant and drops the iods into a basket as the harvester drives over the field. By means of this ma chine, two men and two horses can harvest as much cotton as 100 work men. Experiments already made show that the amount of cotton har vested is about S5 percent, of the amount on the field. Attacked While Asleep. liiistoniu Oazett.i. Isaac Lynch is a white man in the employ of the Sulphur Mine near Crouse. He is a night hand and has to get his sleep in the daytime. While asleep at home last Thursday or Friday, he was assaulted by some person who proceeded to beat him up in a brutal manner. Mrs. Lynch had just stepped out of the house and did not see the struggle. The criminal trespasser skipped and has not been caught. Dr. Jenkins says Lynch was pounded up badly.

The business situation has contin ued to improve. The removal of all uncertainty about the Tariff has been followed by more confident trading in nearly all departments. Industrial output has increased; and in the textile, boot and shoe, and iron and steel trades, and, in fact, nearly all lines of manufactures, there has been considerable improvement in de mand. The low condition of distrib uters' stocks is attested by the ur gency of orders for prompt deliver ies. There has been less general activity in the loan markets, al though at Eastern centres consider able sums have been required to pay for the withdrawal of goods from bond and to meet the needs of an expanding domestic trade. Share values have reacted a little from the recent advance, and the general av erage of values for railroad and in dustrial stocks is slightly lower than it was a week ago. Measured both by bank clearings and railroad clearings, August busi ness showed an improvement over that of the same month last year, although the contrast with returns for August, 1802, was unfavorable. Lower average values account in part for a decrease of 21.5 per cent. in bank payments, in comparison with those of the corresonding month last year. Exports of mer chandise so far as reiorted for last month showed a decrease from New- York alone of $2,(!10,307, while im ports declined only about five ier cent. Business failures recently have been comparatively few and un important. The average liabilities of failing traders last month, accord ing to It. G. Dun & Co., was only $11,521. For the last week the total number of failures in the United States and Canada aas, been only 228, as against 383 for the corre sponding period last year. Cotton prices have further reced ed I of a cent per pound. The weak ness reflects the effect of ample stocks and prosjiects of a steady ex panding movement of the new crop, most reiorts concerning which have continued very favorable. The re striction of consumption by the East ern strikes and lockouts have also contributed to the depression of prices. The exiort movement is small at the moment, but promises early enlargement. Demand for cot ton goods has been decidedly more active, and the reduction of stocks and improving outlook for trade have enabled a number of selling agents to secure advances of 1 to J of a cent per yard in prices. The check to the print cloth output at Fall River has caused a further rise of i of a cent, making a total increase in the price of cloths of ', of a cent since the strike began. In nearly all lines of cotton dry goxls prices show a hard ening tendency and production is well under the control of orders. The visible supply of cotton in this country is, at the ports, 17C,000 bales; interior towns, 42,000 bales, against 242,000 and G1,000 respect ively last year, a deficit of 80,000 bales. The amount on shipboard not cleared is 3,000 bales more than a year ago. The total visible supply is this country and Europe is 2,003, 000 bales, against 2,207,000 bales last year, a decrease oi ,ouu Dates. The supply of American is 4,380,000 bales against 1,770,000 and the total supply is 005,000 bales less than in 1S02. On September 1. 1802, the visible supply of American cotton was 2,148,000 bales; two crops have since been made aggregating 14,200, 000 bales. Present visible supply 1, 580,000, which shows that the tak ings of American cotton for the past two years has been 24.750,000 bales, but the large excess in the visible supply in the hands of spinners, and especially in the country at the end of the season in 1802, has probably been exhausted: There has been very little change in wheat prices. Foreign weather and crop advices have been more fa vorable, and current estimates of the probable outturn of European crops have been generally more encourag ing. Export demand for wheat has continued fair, but the shipments have continued to compare unfavora bly with those of last season. For the crop year to the close of last week exports, including Hour, showed a comparative decrease of 15.738,252 bushels. The interior movement of wheat has fallen off. It is still in excess of that of 1803, but much smaller than in either of the two preceding crop years. Corn prices have advanced 2 to 31 cents per bushel. Au Ode t i'olumbuK.
