C. aa Second Claat. Mail Matter. Friday, August 13, tqoq Women who dress thir hair in the "latest," Will be alarmed when learning that an tlectric device for killing rats has Keen invented. We ho; e the City Drainage Com mittee will look after that part of Smithwick Street near the artes ian well, soon, ai.d that the town ordinance prohibiting the throwing of broken glass on the streets will be stringently enforced. It is said that the increased pros perity of the United States has caused diamonds to go up in price. So has this prosperity forced the necessities of life almost beyond the reach of the poor man, and thousands ate working on half pay and other thousands cannot get work at all. The rich can buy higher-priced gems when paying the working man half wages. -It is a strange prosperity that briitgs £od only to the millionaire. The Greenville Reflector has somewhat to say to Editor Jose phus Daniels b cause, of what .seemed to the Reflector, a hit at the tobacco maiket of Greenville The comment in the News and Observer was mearlv a true state ment of the doings of the tobacco trust. We quote from anothet article in the News and Observer: "'The tobacco trust fixes the prices everywhere and pays the same starvation prices at Wilson that it does at Greenville. It knows that most farmers are in sore need of money and must sell as soon as the Drop is ready for the market. Therefore it takes the first part of the crop at a price that does not pay any profit 011 the cost of culti vation. If the farmers, the mer chants and the newspapers make no protests, the starvation prices will continue." Stand Together There are many ways to kill a town —but one to build it tip. It is needless to enumerate the forces that tear down, but few there are, perhaps, who think about the safe way to push things up grade. Anv town is but one great family. There may be social distinctions, difference in intellect, the rich and the poor, the merchant and the mod carrier, the' interpreter of law. the man of science, yet all linked together for one common purpose -'-the advancement of material and moral interests, and a distribution of individual benefits. No house divided against itself can stand. There must be perfect harmony tending to bring about one great purpose. , Whenever faction is arrayed against faction, set against •..Set, business man against business "man, Church against church—then the work-of destruction commences and the town dies by degrees. : These conditions, we believe, are 6 the exceptions and not the rule. | Yet it is well to consider them. Every town mav have dangers p threatening it and the thinking | ones must be alive to the situation. We have no alarm to sound in I) our own midst for conditions shows | us that our people have stood close g together for the progress of the | town. Here, as in other places, j the tobacco market has been a £ large factor in trade, and has i brought to the town and county many desirable citizens. The season is now on—let us stand together for things which count. Patronize your home merchants, let mail orders alone; keep your monev i» the pockets of your neighbors and be in turn in the pocket of his, so tbe circulation will be free and helpful. Talk for your town, talk for your market stand band in hand with those who have tbe good of things at heart. Let the kicker depart—he will not be missed. Stick to the town and it will stick to you always. United effort can bring about any result, without it there can be no success. The Crime of Idleness Idleness means trouble for any one. Its the same with a lazy liver. It causes constipation, bead ache, jaundice, sallow complexion, pimples and blotches, loss of appe tite, nausea, but D r . King's New Lite Pills soon banish bvtr trouble aud bu'ld up your health. 25c. at All Druggists. God and the Preacher. We have been interested to an unusual degree of late iu the study of preachers and sermons and the succeses and failures of preaching. Some of the "biggest preachers" and "ablest sermons," as the world estimates them are the greatest failures so far as results are con cerned. The so-called "big ser mons" do not reach the souls of mtn and bring them to Jesus. Some of the simplest sermqns —in fact so plain and simple that the preacher calls them "talks," are the most fruitful! Why this? We have come to the conclusion —and we are sure that it is a correct conclusion-r-that the "big preacher" and the ' big sermou" do not rely upon God and the Holy Spirit as much as upon the big sermou —the human part of the big sermon! The little sermou, or "talk," may suggest dependence upon God, and when it does, the results are sure! We have heard preachers siy that their best ser mons failed to bring the desired results, and that they used to have better results when they did not do as good preaching as they do now! Let us go back to God for results. Go to God for power and we shall see souls mysteriously coming to Jesus "Unless the Lord build the house, they labor in vam that I mild it," is as true today as it was years »RO- ' This is not meant for a criticism, but a reminder. We all need to stir up our minds occasionally. —The Christian Home. fir. Ericsons old home. Go see it, its a beauty.

If you don't just like everything you see in your paper, go around the streets and howl. The editor is never supposed to make a mistake and oi course could not do so. Other people can but not the editor. If you can't see a good point, do not; fail to see a bad one. If a thousand pleasant things are said of peopJe hunt for something un pleasant. If you don't fiud it, howl some hiore; if you do, howl anyway. Never mind your own business; watch for something to find fault with in some other man's business; this will make you great. —K»k.

Fanlt-Fln4ers The fault finders, like the poor, are always with us It is related that when the gods had determined to engage in the work of creation, Jmpiter made a man, Neptune a bull, and Minerva a house. Mo mus, standing bv, found fault with the man because he had no window in his breast; with the bull because its horns were not under its eyes; and with th« bouse because it was not upon wheels, so the occnpants could easily move away from un pleasant neighbors. For this Mo tnus was cast out of the divine councils, and has ever since been with us. Of course, all that is a remnant of mythology; but the truth is ti»e fault-finder is abroad in the land. It matters little what one does, be is apt to find some one who will find fault with the work. And. strange to say those who are the greatest fault finders are the ones who accomplish the least that is gcod aud worthy of a noble man or woman. Learn to avoid fault - finding. Sympathetic riticism is whole some, and will always be appre ciated, but "1 mlt-finding is a gray horse, of another color," as the old saying has it.—Ex.

In a letter written, by Count Grzy mala, who was an ardent admirer of Chopin, the lust moments of the great musician are thus referred to: "A few hours before he died he asked Mine Potocka to sing some melodies by Ho* stnl and Itelltnt, and this she did witi sobs in her voice. Listening to her voice he passed away." Speaking of the funeral, the writer says; "Mozart's requiem and his owu funeral march were performed with the assistance oi Lablanche, Viardot and the eonrert so clety. It was characteristic of the times that the artists should have asked 2.000 francs for-thlslast tribute to Chopin. One would have thought that pride would have kept them from Belling their gifts on such an occasion." How They Talk of Us Abroad. A collection of auecdotes of musical •elebrltles published at Leipzig con tains this one tinder the head of An ton Ilubeustein: When the great pian Ist was making his tour of the United States he sat one day in a railway train looking out upou the scenery Suddenly a man sitting across the uisle spat over Rubens'eln's head out of the open window. The master drew hack and gazed in astonishment and anger at the vulgar American, who smiled and said soothingly, "Don't worry: I know my distance." | Humor and / | | Philosophy | X . air 9V/rCA/t M. sum \ PERT PARAGRAPHS. rpHERE is said to be nothing new ( under the sun, but occasionally we meet a specimen of the genus homo who appears to be fresh. You can't rely upon appearances, and It Is foolish to disregard them. So what's to be done? As there is no calculating on what a whimsical person will do, the only conclusion to come to is that he won't do. As it requires sanity lo jfidge sanity, an unprejudiced opinion as to the soundness of any one's mind is an Impossibility. Trying to edit and revise the opinions of another person is alx'mt as satisfac tory as trying to extirpate the indus trious dandelion. Koine people can't take a joke any more than others can make one. When no possible good can come from it is the time that you may ex pect a lot of people to strenuously ob ject. The only Inducement that work of fers to most of us is wages, and that often seems rather weak in the knees. Doomed. Get out The grun.
