We had forgotten about the Halloween business, and therefore was at a loss to tell whether it was a drove of wild Indians, or a batch of boys who had broken out of the Bingham school barracks, it proved the latter however which we learned after sending out a couple of our best detectives. These boys about forty in number marched up and down Holmes-Warren'*s avenue and Wilkinson’s Boulevard which you krow is always brilliantly lighted, “that is in the day time," and yet no one seemed to be able to tell indefini tely who these b^ys belonged too. some said one lady and some said an other, however they escaped in the darkness and went East.

Prof. John Spencer Bassett, author of “A Life of Andrew Jackson,” is ac-1 customed to illustrate his lectures at Smith College with Jrcidents in Amer ican history. On on# occasion he re peated a well-known story in regard to Stephen A. Douglas, closing with a moral which aroused peculiar interest. Douglas, as the narrative run*, was once sitting in a profound sleep in the coiridor of the Capitol when Adeline Cutts, a Washington belle, passed by. She did not know the sleeper, but was struck with compas.^icn on seeing such a splendidly intellectual face under such conditions, and stooping down laid her handkerchief over it to protect it from the flies. Douglas on awakening found the handkerchief, sought the owner and eventually married her. There was a pause, and then the professor added; “Young ladies, the moral of this story is, have your pocket handkerchief marked.” I 4 Man Declares Looks, L and Manners Invitaticn " Help Himselt.

You have a favorite, let US hear from you at once. Swatt the Carping Critic. Some communities, but thank God there are not many such, are cursed with a pest called a carping critic. The destractor, defamer, back biter, and cynic. They are usually pur-blind and never see anything good in an individ ual who is not a perfect puppy at their heels. You never meet them but they begin saying something^ deroga tory, disparaging of some acquain tance. Their chief stock in trade is obloquy, scurilety, and defanration. Born with an inverted vision they are eternaly nosing around for filth like a hog. They nwer see the stars, nevei seethe sun, never see the good in hu manity, never see the noble and bene- I volent attributes of mankind. These ! characters are a screaming nuisance, and an affliction to any community that may be cursed with their presence. Do you know such a character? If so let them alone, for they are a walking pestilence that are sure to poison and contaminate who ever they may touch. No one can stop to listen to them ped dling lies, but must feel meaner and mere depraved afterwords. A discovery whereby epidemic spinal meningitis can be entirely controlled was announced by Dr Simon Flexner, dir«ctorof the Rockefeller Institute for medical research, at the closing session of the conference of sanitary officers of New York S. ate. The con trol could be established. Dr. Flexner said, by injecting serum into the cere bral spinal membrane, thus getting at the seat of the disease. •‘It baa taken much money and a long time to perfect this cure,” said Dr Flexner. ‘ ‘This is the first time I have announced it, as only very recently have I demonstrated to my own satis faction that the seruin I have prepar ed will do as I claim. “Meningitis in the child, which has caused so many deaths and which spreads so rapidly will, with the appli- ation of this new serum of treatment, be not one-tenth as dangerous as it was before.” Judge Bordwell Retains Men Who Said They Had Formed Opinion. Judge Bordwell, has decided a four- day’s controversy over talesman A. C. Winter, ir. the McNamara murder trial by refusing to excuse Winter from jury service. The defense challenged Win ter after he said he had a fixed opinion as to the defendant’s guilt or innocen- cer The judge also retained Walter N Frampton, who was challenged by the defense because he said he believed abor unions blew up Times building andthat John J. and James B. Mc Namara were guilty. Shot In Back While Hunt mg. Thomas M. Crompton, a wfiite man, of Osaipee Mills, in Alamance county, was taken to St. L*o’s hospital at Greensboro Sunday and examination showed that he was paralyzed from the hip down as the result of a gun shot wound received in the back Sat urday niflrht. Crompton is reported to be in a very critical condition ai'd his recovery is very doubtful. Crompton declares that he, with sev eral friends, was o’possom hunting Saturday night and that a short time after starting he quarreled with Abe Conklin, a member of the party, and that Conklin left. Later, while retom ing home, Crompton was fired upon, the bullet grazing the spinal chord and producing pafalysis. Conklin was im mediately suspected, though up to Sun day night efforts locate him were were without avail—Graensboro News In the current bulletin of the North Carolina bo«»d«E-health appear th^ results of an investigation made sanitary government in North Cas - lina’s laogest cities.

KUIST SLAYS F One must be poor to know the lux ury of giving. Every ounce of self- denial behind a gift doubles its value and its joy. It is the small gifts, too, in this world, and the gifts of unpur- c'lasable things—such as smiles, sym pathy, encouragement, personal effort and love—that make the best and big gest totals. ^T. W. G. So long as we love we serve, so long as we are loved by others I would al most say that we are indispensible; and no man is useless while he has a friend.—Robert Louis Stevenson. Shortly after the Christmas holidays in those communities where smartness of attire is supposed to be slow to penetrate, there is almost sure to be at least one instance where the recip ient of a smoking jacket blossoms forth in all the pride of broad Scotch plaid, happy in the assumption that he is wearing the latest style of what he vaguely knows as a Tuxedo. Superior persons, who have been to town—who know all about the equitor- ial signifieance of 6 o’clock and the delicate line of demarcation between the swallow tail and the dinner cost are apt to smile indulgently at this smoking jacket variant of the Tuxedo. They make it clear, in terms almost as broad as the plaids on the smoking jacKet, that the oyster supper and the house warming and the moving picture show are not the proper environment for that sartorial confection, faced in red and green and blue, which was in tended for the bosom of the family.— Washington Times. ^tter Holds Up Car And Draws Gun On Driver, Governors Will Take Financial Scheme, Ud Because he allowed his prejudice against automobiles k> 'ead him to the extremity of drawing a pistol on the driver of a passing car Sunday eve. Sam Whither, lost his Ufe. Facing the drawn weapon in Whither’s hand, and believing that he intended to execute his threat to kill, Mr. Lucius Randall, a prominent business man of Gaffney, S. C., shot Whither to death. The tragedy occured at 6:30 o'clock Sunday evening two miles west of Shelby and just across the river. Mr. Randall, who was giving a party of children an outing, immediately tor;; ed back to Shelby and picking up U).. sheriff and a physician returned to the scene with them. Whither had been instantly killed. His pistol, a 3^ iber Smith and Wesson, lay nea’* I Is body. The sheriff at once notified ti:e coroner and the inquest is in progresis I Sunday night. Probably the first b isiness to cr';:''.o up before the conference of Southern governors who will meet at Nav,r O - leans this week to discuss the probl of checking the downward course of the price of cotton will be a proposition to raise a fund of $75,000,000 to $100,00* • 000 to be used in holding back the f')L ton crop untill higher yrices are olt i ed. Gov. Colquitt of Texas, who Is sued the call for the meetir//, is un derstood to favor such a plan, provid ing any feasible way to csrryinj? t out can be devised. Not Likely That Simmons Said It. Greensboro Record, Simmons is quoted as saying th t ii. \yc..':k will get out of the way hfl wi’;l deffiit Kitchen by 40,000. Don’t be- I’l Vt! he said it. He don’t put “ifs” in h o vv'ork.
