April 6 1911 MOTHERS RESPONSABLE. “Prof. Flora Rose of the department of hwne economics, of Cornell Uuiyer- sity says the chief cause of high infant mortality is ignorance. The person having the most to do with the health conditions of the child is the mother. Her ignorance may sign the death warrant. The cure for this must be an educational one. Our educational system should con’ sider every child as a potential parent, To be effective the department of home economics must have as the goal ot its instruction such information as will deal directly, openly, and specifi cally with the conditions that affect the child'r life.” Professor Rose is unquestion able correct. Human life in all its bearings is a matter of least importance. We send our boys, and ^rls to colleges, train them in all the knowledge essential to succeed in science, in politics, in the Arts and in money making, but give them but little infor mation about their phycial na ture, about a human bod>, or its requirements. The mortality among infants is appalling, and when we consider how absolute ly ignorant most of the mothers are of the first principal of hy gienics, we wonder why it is not greater. The average mother to-day knows about as much about reer- ing a monkey as she does about railing a child. They often tor ture the little things with im proper attention until their frail bodies can stand it no longer, and then they die, the preacher comes in and stands over the little white coffin, and in mourn ful accents says: The Lord gave and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord,’' when in fact the Lord had nothing to do with it. It was ignorance, and an ignorance that was inexcusable. When people becomes surficently informed to divorce themselves from the old fetich of mock modesty, and de pendence uiK)n physicians for everything that is done to pre serve their health, and life, and inform themselves of the crud est, and most essential facts of health, and what would preserve it, and follow them, then the percentage of mortality will be reduced. Commit flagrant violation of the laws of health, and sickness, or death essentialy follows. An infant is helpless. Its mother to a large extent holds its life in her own hands, she can inteligently use it, to the childs well being, and long life, or she can abuse it with ignor ance, and sickness inevetable follows, and often death. If Tillman had given Gon- zalese and equal chance for his life, sentiment would have been quite diffepcnt. But the faot will ever remain that Tillman was a low contemptable coward of the baser sort We well knew t circumstance connected with his cami>aisn of 1902, when he made a speach atGafneyS. C. At Gafney he was met by E. H. De Camp, Ekiitor of the Ledger. DeCamp denounced Tillman most bitterly, he openly charged him with misappropriating funds belong ing to Orphan children, and do ing a number of dishonest, and shady transaction. Tillman did did not resent DeCamps charge, he submited to them like a cow ard, that he was. He waited to shoot Gonzalese down. Gon zalese was at that time one of the ablest Editors in the South, a man who possessed all of the moral courage you were looking for. He was a splendid man, and his untimely takmg off was a distinctive loss of state wide importance. His place has not yet been filled. SPECIAL SESSION OF CON GRESS. Congress convened in special session last Tuesday. It was called together, to pass the Can adian reciprocity treaty. What will be done can not be stated at this writing. Mr. Taft is very anxious to pass the bill and will do what he can to secure its passage. There is some violent opposition to it, and it will be seriously felt. There are a great many Democrats who regard it a subtefug, to stay off more es sential legislation in reference to the tariff, its a bone thrown to appease the hunger of those who are demanding large relief. The House will likely take steps to secure more radical changes in the tariff, and put it up to a Republican Senate to repudiate it. The country is demanding re lief from the pressing burdens of an unjust tariff, and while the Democratic party is not in a position to grant it, it can at least show a disposition to go to the limit of its power in doing so, and place the responsability of the failure somewhere else. Lawyers Up Front. (From New York Herald.) Senator William Pierson Fiero, of Catakill, N. Y., was seated with others about the enormous fireplace in KeeU er*8 hottl, Albany, N. Y., on a cold night, when he tpld this story: '1 remember, 30 yvArs ago, when I waa a lawytt, there were about K or liS of os—all lawyera-oteated nboat a fireplace mach like tUs. It was a raw, wet night. A bedayggled str^er, wet to the hide, came In, tried to .get accommodations and was told there was not a room left. The nearest other place was a, mile away. Shiv ering, the stranger looked at the fire, but we formed such a k>lid line about it that he could not get near it Fi nally one of the lawyers, in a spirit of fivolity, turned to him and sa id: “My friend, are you a traveler?' I am, sir, I have been all over the world.' “you don't say so! Been in Ger many, Egypt. Japan and all the coun tries in Africa and Asia?' “ 'Allof them—been everywhere,' ** ‘Ever been in hell?' ** ‘Oh, yes; been there twice.' ** IHow did you find things there?' ** ‘Oh, much the same as here—law yers all next to the fire." The Reason. William J. Bryan, {in his Commoner, speaks thus: “The Commoner does not consider Governor Harmon an available man for the Democratic nomination, for reasons that will be given when the discussion of the sub ject seems proper.’* There are two reasons for the Com moner's opsosition to Harmon. The first is that the latter has twice car ried Ohio for the Democrsts when Bryan never came in fifty thousand votes of accomplishing that result. The second is that in his last succesful campaign for the governorship Har mon insisted on determining for him self the issues he would run on, instead of accepting the programme which a private citizen of Nebraka attempted to dictate to the Democratic leaders of Ohio. Both of these be mortal offenses in the eyes of the gentleman whose personal property and organ the Commoner if.—Va Pilot. BUILD MORE HOUSES. Mebane needs more residences, and she needs them very much. She needs them to-day, “not next week*’ or next month. If the town is expected to grow, she must have them. It takes people to make a town, and it requires houses for people to live in. If you have any money to spare put it in a five or six room cotiage, and it will bring you rent right along for years. Some one ought to undertake the erection of a dozen or more cot tages at once. THE DEATH OF JIM TILL MAN. James H. Tillman of South Carolina died at Ashville N. C. 9:45 Saturday night last, of con sumption. Tillman made him self notorious on account of the cowardly murder of N. G. Gon zales, in 1903 Jan. 15th, then Editor of the Columbia State. Tillman became incensed at some well merited criticism made in the State by Gonzalese, and shot . him down on the streets of Col umbia. Tillman was acquited of murder by a jury selected under peculuar circumstance, but the acqmtal by the jury did not mean an aquital by public sentiment In fact when this miscarriage of justice, this trav esty upon law became known, there was a revoltin public sen timent, and Jim Tillman ever afterwards was loathed and ex ecrated, as a vile cowardly mur derer, and those who had been his best friends lewned to dis- ' pise him. CLEAN UP. As a matter for your own health, and comfort, if not for town pride, you should clean up your premises. The saving in doctor bills will usually pay the cost, in adition you save the comfort, and pleasure of keeping well. Filth breads flies, and a general contamination, and they all bread disease. Rake oat the filth, and trash out of your back yard, scatter lime around, and white wash your trees, and fen- ses, and see if you do not feel better.' When the Peach Tree Bears The Blossom. The peach tree’ll bear the blossom; an’ tiie melon—it'll be As juicy-sweet as ever to the lips o' you an’ me; The blizzard’s makin’ reads for the last hurrahin’ run, An’ the rom-blades soon'll rustle In the wavy wind an' sua (Hear that bird a-nngin’ ’Neath a sicy o’ blue? He's aingin' for his sweetheart. An’ he’s singin’ right at you!) Come in, Mistress Springtime—there’s welcome everywhere; Violets in yer apem—roses in yer hair! Weary all the winter long to see the smile o’ you; Dress the meadows all in green, an’ trim the banks in plue: (Hear that bird a-singin’— Singin’ o’ the May? Whisper to yer sweetheart: “World’s in bloom today!”) —Atlanta O>nstittttion. Mock Suns. Mock suns are similar in point of origin to the mirages of the desert, only they accur in the arctic circle. As the lonjj ^inter night of the polar region^wanes once every twenty-four hour§ a slight glow is seen at some point on the horizon. Often accom panying this glow is seen the phe nomenon of the mock suns. Several degrees up in the heavens as many as five of these spectral orbs have been seen at one time. Invariably they are all connected in a geometric figure, the CU9S seemingly bound together with circle^ uid arcs of light. Often when only one appears it is miataken for the real god of day, and natives rejoice at the early end of the long winter ni((ht only to be disappointed as the image disappears The ex planation of the phenomenon is grren by physieists as refraction and reflec tion of light from the real sun below the horizon on the mists in the uppe- atmoiphfrft.—St. Louis Republic. Ambition. (From the Kansas City Star.) The scroll of fame has various attractions for different minds. *‘l want the record to show,” said Mr’Delegate Wickersham, of Alaska, “that I was called a liar.” A some what similar ambition waa denoted by Mr. Justice Dogberry, who, it will be insisted upon being written down an ass* “Here lies one whose name was writin in water”— the despairing and dying John Keats desired that admission of defeat engraved for his epitaph. “Write me as one who loved his fellowmen,” was Leigh Hunt's aspi ration. To be remembered as the author of the Declaration of Independence and of the first statute for religious free dom 4uid as the founder of the Univer- city of Vir^nia, this was Thomas Jef ferson's prayer to posteri^. Thus one may go the range .And thus the lines recur Ambition is our idol, on whose wings Great minds are carried only to ex treme; To be sublimely great or to be nothing. Wanted to buy young calves. The prige paid for them delivered to inf Mebine. F. W. Graves, Love and Pati^ce. (From Philadelphia Times.) Dr. Russell H. Conwell is a great beliver in patience and he recently told a story indicating what he believed to be an example of making a virtue of patience. A young man was standing at the gate, waiting for his sweetheart, and when at last she appeared he remarked kindly: “What a time you have kept me waiting.” “Oh, dear me, how fussy you are,” she observed. “Why, I didn’t promise to meet you until a quarter of 8 and it’s only two minutes after 8 now.” “Ah, Margie dear,” replied the young man, “but you haye made a slight mistake in the day. You were to h^ve been here at a quarter of 8 last evening. I have been waiting ever ^ce.” Lame Shoulder is nearly always due to rheumi&tiBm of the muwles, jsnd quickly yields to the free itpplieation of Chwn^la^'s liniment. For sale by An Dealers.
