fMEiGinetevM PUBLISHED BT THE- ELEVATOR PUBLJSH^Q CO. Entered in the postoffiee,at Elm City^ 2f. C., at geeond-elass rVMLtSUBMVS XOTICK, Wo wish a live correspondent and , ag«nt at eTery postoffice in the vicin ity of Elm City. Oar columns are always open to oontribations by any citizen on live local qaestions. Wo are not resp^n- nible for the views of contributors, and all articles must bo signed by the writer. Bates for advertising'space will be furnished upon application. The fire at Washington should arouse the citizens of Elm City to the need'of a fire departmeut. Some hustling agent for a life in surance company that takes LieaTy risks had better interview the editors of The Thomas Cat at Wilson ‘right away, quick.” The5 suggestion is an excellent one, that State convicts be put at work on State I’oads, instead of being made to compete with the farmer or laborer in other occupations. Admiral Schley still continues to receive ovations whex'ever he goes, and the way in which he receives them endears him still moi-e to the American people. That Biddle affair in Pennsylva- Dia will undoubtedly be the cause of several dime noyels of the yellow Twriety, and America’s juvenile leaders will have a new^ brand of literary cigarettes. The News aud Observer’s Good Boa^te fidition Sunday contained a raluabl* symposium on the subject that is attracting so much attention tnis week. The edition will undoubt edly add greatly to the influence of the Good Koads Convention. A BIG SCOOP. The President’s traia through Fremont early Monday morning bound fur the Charleston Exposition. Nobody knew that the President was to pass through town, consequently only the usual crowd was present when the train arrived. Those who were on hand failed to catch a glimpse of any of the presi dential party as there was no one stirring except a number of servants who seemed to be busy about prepa- tions for breakfast.—Fremont Bural Visitor. Thus our esteemed contemporary steals a march - on the Associated Press, which has, up to the time we go to press, failed to discover that the President is in the Southland. CHUBCH UNITY. The tendency of the present time toward consolidation of ii.terests is exemplified to a considerable extent among the churches. Instead of new denominations springing uj} we hear now and then talk of union of this and that church. lu ministerial and interdenominational associations we see the various churches werking together in harmony and accomp lishing much by their unity in the larger cities, where naturally diver sity of interest might be expected, just as the department store is tak ing the pla^e of numerous small Stores in varied lines of business. And yet in the smaller cities, where this unity should be still stronger, wo regret to see a tendency in religious life to carry in stock the same line of goods^ with the exception of one or two unimportant side lines, in other •words a^tendency to multiply church es instead of strengthening those already estabhshed. CREAH OF THE PRESS Hersafter we hope folks will not meet in Bocky Mount to draw up “small-pox treaties.” Go to the woods. —Bocky Mount Motor. Although Senator Simmons has*no reason to feel kindly towards this town it seems thatjlie is/doing his best for its public buildings.—Dur ham Herald. * * * Tho Asheville Gazette saya th« Bcpublican pai*ty in North Carolina is “the champion of decency.” If that in intended for satire it is good. —Baleigh News and Observer. * * * It is going tho rounds that a child has been born with six hands at the Edna cotton mills at Beidsville. That is what comes of so much advertising for hands by these cotton mill folks. Moral. Never advertise for a thing you don’t want.—Concord Standard. * * According to S. G, Dun & Co’s, leport the cost of living in 1901 was 40 per cent greater than in 1897. According to the latest census re ports, wa^es in the past tan years have decreased 7.4 per cent. What then , becomes of the republican, vaunted proijperity?—Durham Sun. It is gratifying to note that among tho famine conditions said to be threatjning other countries of the rorld, there are only two that are menacing the United States. One is a famine of railroads, to haul the ears, in spite of the increased mileage of the past Tew yerrs, and the other is a famine of cars to haul the pro duce, in spite of the fact that the shops are working night and day to make up the deficit.—Durham Sun. * .* * You can’t lose Charlotte. The people of that good city will not be out«ione by their sister cities. Not being able to get Prince Henry to pay them an exclasive visit they take consolation from the fact that if he m.akes a Southern tour he will have to pass through Charlotte. And to have Prince Henry squirt tobacco juice through his teeth from the car window and ask what place that is, would be distinction indeed. —Henderson Gold Leaf. * * * We may be entirely wrong on the subject but we cannot possibly see how a great political issue can be made of the Philippine problem. No mutter which course mny be the wiser one thing seems certain, and that is that the Americans can never be sufficiently aroused over how to treat those Vi’d people for tbat to govern their votes. The democratic party must have a vital home issue. One rarely hears of the Philippine problem now unless he reads the congregational debates. The body of the people are more interested in measures affecting our business en terprises at home.—Baleigh Times. * if * Not much is being said publicly, but there is. a lot of talk going on in f quiet way about the senatorial con- tost. Interest is wanning up and plaiis are being formulated. The pot W'ill boil in a lively fashion be fore long. Wjb want the people to control this matter and are opposed to anything which smacks of ma chine dictation. We prefer nomina tion by primary, because we believe it the best and fairest way so secure expression of tho popular will. If the primary is knocked out, then we prefer election by the legislature to nomination by the State convention The convention method, in our opin ion, is the least likely of the three plans to register the will of a major ity of the party voters.—Winston Sentinel, Saved Her Child’s Life “In three weeks our chubby little boy was changed by Pneumonia al most to a skeleton,” writes Mrs. W. Watkins, of Pleasant City,-0. “A terrible cough set in, that, in spite of a good doctor’s treatment for several ^eeks, grew worse • very day. We then used Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, and our darling was soon sound and well.

Then and Now While there is a great deal of infi delity, scepticism, humbuggery, de ception and negation now in the world, it can be said with truth that the present is incomparably better than it was in the eighteenth cen tury. The student of English and European histories and the .reader of the authors of those times well un derstands how -very low ran the cui^ rent of religious belief, fidelity to God and a pure life. Immorality, corruption in high and low places, sinsof all kinds hues and were ram pant and terrific. The ministry wp vicious, immoral, debased to a very great extent. We are simply remind, ed of this which we have read again and again about, by a recent paper the Loudon Fortnitrhtly Beview, one of the foremost English puolica- tions. It is written of France and England was not so v*ry much better off. “Religion in th« eighteenth cen tury was at a far greater discount in France than it is at present, when there is a strong and in a sense, al most fanatical church party, inclu ding people of ever class, and, what is more remarkable, a multitude of men, some of whom are famous in science, art and letters. What we understand by tho term society.was essentially free-thinking: the churches were empty, even in Lent,and in scores of pari.«hes in and near Paris, between the year 1779 and 1789. Holy communion had not been administered. . . I remem ber some years^ago being allowed to read a very important private cor respondence, dated from 1700 to the eud*of||the century, which was for merly in the possession of the late Comtesse de Labaume. It included letters from nearly every great per sonage of the period. What struck me most about them was the sneer ing manner in which religion and morality were spoken of.” To9 stingy to 5ubscrib« A story with a moral. A man was too stingy to pay for a newspa per, and as he could not get along without it he sent his little boy to borrow the copy taken by his neigh bor. In his haste the boy van over a $4.00 stand of Lees, aud in ten minutes looked like a warty svTun'.er squash. His cries roaohod ; is lath er, who ran to his as»is>.m^e and, faiUng to ncHce a bixrbed wire t.iuce, ran into it, breaking i^ down, cut ting a hiiadful of flesh f;oni Lis i^a- atorny and ruining a $4.00 pair of pants. The old cow took advantage of the gap in the fence, got into the cornfield and killed herself eating groen corn. Hearing the racket the wife ran and upset a four gal lon churn of |rich cream into a basket of kittens, drowning the whole flock. In her hurry she drop ped a $7 set of talse teeth. The boy, being left alone, crawled into the spilled cream and through tlie par lor, ruining a brand new $20.00 car pet.—Grand Forks Herald. Moral.-- Subscribe.
