Chriatniat Wisdom.
She's not versed in Greek or Latin, and of art
she nothing knows,
She never studied music, and to clubs she never
goes
To hear some weighty paper on the poetry of
Poe,
The ologles and 'isms' are all things she
doesn't know;
But her Christmas shopping journeys she can
very quickly plan.
For she knows exactly what to buy to give unto
a man.
In discussions of the graces she is silent as a
clam,
And her speech is free entirely from all trace
of epigram;
To the classics she's a stranger, and to modern
thinkers, too,
And on higher criticism she cannot converse
with you,
But she's wise, and who can doubt it when I
tell you she can plan
A shopping list at Christmas, knowing what
will please a man?
You may boast about your culture, you may
brag about youi art,
You may think that you are clever, and may
think that you are smart,
You may talk in French and German, and the
poets you may quote,
And profoundly tear to pieces what some great
old master wrote;
But with Christmas time approaching, I am for
the wife who can
Go down with her money and buy something
for a man.

flow About It?
You vowed to be cheerful,
The test is to come.
Are you smiling this morning
Or moody and glum ?
You vowed you'd endeavor
To spread smiles around;
What was it? Cold coffee,
I hear that you frowned.
You vo wed to be patient;
Come now and coLfess,
Had she used your razor
. To rip up a dress?
You vowed to be pleasant
To all you would meet;
What? She didn't say" Thanks"
When you gave up your seat?
You vowed you'd oblige,
Yet you growled over much
At the friend who came in
Just to make a small " touch."
O, these are the tests
That our good resolves end.
Come on and confess,
How about it, my friend?
TUP STATE'S RESOURCES I

eastern states, in the
combined production of the' metals, gold,
silver, copper and iron; non-metallic
minerals, talc, barytes, etc. ; structural
materials, building stone, brick, etc.;
and pottery clays.
During the year 1903 this total pro
duction was nearly two and a half mil

And this a decrease of over seven hun

In the non-metaliic minerals there was
a slight increase in the production of
millstones, but a dejided decrease in the
production of all the others.
The value of the structural materials
produced during 1908, of $1,771,603
was a decrease of $389,415, as compared
with $2,161,018, the value of the pro
duction of 1907. The greatest decrease
was in the production of granite and
common brick. In 1907 the value of the
granite production was $906,476, while
in 1908 it dropped to $802,927, a decrease
of $103,549. The production of common
brick in 1907 was 174,750,000 valued at
$1,150,185, while the production of
1908 has fallen off to 144,192,000 brick,
valued at $900,611. There were slight
gains in the production of sand-stone,
marble and lime.
The value of the production of pottery
and pottery clays in 1908 was $99,011,
an increase of $3,284, as compared with

the financial stringency which was felt
especiilly in the building stone and clay
product industries, which are largely de
pendent upon building trades for their
market. As these form by far the
larger portion of the mineral production
of the fcstate, there was, consequently, a
considerable falling oft' in the total
value. Its effect, however, was also
noticed in the production of practically
all of the minerals of the State, there
being but one or two that showed any
increase in production for 1908 over that
of 1907.
The gold production of 1908 was
4,716.32 fine ounces, valued at $97,495,
an increase of 740.24 fine ounces, and
of $15,302.00 in value over the produc
tion of 1907. The countv nrodiiina- the
x 0
largest amount of this production was
Montgomery with Ho wan second. The
output of silver and copper, which are very
closely related toeajh other, was very
greatly below the production of 1907,
the copper being valued at only $2,560,
as compared with $116,410, the value of
the 1907 production. All of the princi
pal copper mines were idle during 1908.

There is given in the following table the
mineral production in North Carolina
for the years 1903-1908, inclusive. With
the exception of gold, the production of
all the minerals is affected by the finan
ciai condition of the country and in
many cases the increase or decrease in
the production of a mineral is entirely
due to increased prosperity or financial
depression of the country. With some
of the minerals, however, the decrease
is due to other causes, such as excessive
cost of production or working out of the
deposits.
