We believe in justice in all things,
and since there is so much agitation
in t in oouuty over the country sa
loons, we are anxious to see the mat
ter pat to a vote of the people, with
out their being harassed for or
against. Nothing short of this will
be just or honest. Educate the
people and use all tiie moral suasion
jou please against the use of tobacco
and whiskey, but let them vote to
SXnt themselves. We put tobacco
first because it is a fact that it reach
cs the children, weakens their con
stitutions and causes the craving for
whiskey later. The man who uses
or sells tobacco and preaches temper
ance is inconsistent, to say the least.

OUR FIRST GREAT
WORK.
Gov. Jarvis Says It Is The
Education Of The Children.
Ex-Governor and Ex-Senator T.
J. Jarvis of North Carolina m now
in the sunset of life. His has been
a noble record on the pages of North
Carolina history. The following
words from a private letter written
by him breathe a lofty statesman
ship and a broad patriotism :
"I look upon the education of the
children of the South as the first
.great work to engage the time and
thought and labors of every lover of
his country and his kind.
"I am grateful fur the help of the
jeople of the North, but all the
work must oe done by the men and
women of the South. We under
stand the conditions better and can
deal with them wiser than strangers.
.IJut our people themselves must be
taught to deal with these conditions
in a spirit of fairness and broad
statesmanship. We have ttvo races
living in the .South. These races are
distinct and must remain so, and yet
they must live here together. My
judgment ia that it is better for both
that each be educated and trained
and elevated to the highest state of
citizenship of which it is capable.
It is also my judgment that the
church and the school house ure the
be.st agencies for making good citi
zens. If these agencies cannot help
us in solving the race problem, then
indeed we have a hopeless task on
our hands. But thank God 1 am a
man of iaith. I believe in God and
in my fellow-men, and I believe the
people of the South can solve all
problems presented to them if they
will cleave to the church and the
school house ; and that too in a man
ner which shall make them and their
section a great power for good in the
world."
The Land of fortune often looks suspici
ously like four aces.

A RAPE FIEND
Gets What He Richly De
serves. On Friday evening last while Mrs.
Jas. C. Smith, living near Goldsboro,
was preparing supper, and in the
absence of her husband, Tom Jones,
a brutal negro fiend, approached the
house and made an improper propo
sal to her, saying that if she com
plied with his demands he would not
hurt her, but if she refused he would
kill her.
She indignantly refused and the
villain dragged her from her house
to a thicket and accomplished his
purpose, having beatet, her almost
to death, and left her as ho doubt
less thought dead.
Mrs. Smith, who is young and
pretty, was alone, but for two small
children who; hearing the pitiful
cries for mercy from their mother,
left the house and ran to a neighbor's
where they told as best they could
what had occurred.
Help came, but too late. The
negro had left his victim where he
had dragged her unconscious and
disfigured.
Almost the entire community be
gan to hunt for Jones, who had hid
den himself in a swamp, nor did
they relax for a moment until he
was caught as he emerged from the
swamp soon after midnight Sunday
morning. When caught he confes
sed, was bound and locked in a barn
to await the arrival of the sheriff.
Later ten men disguised as negroes
came up and demanded his person.
The officer in charge resisted, and
was shot in the neck, but hot seri
ously. The men broke down the
door, took the negro to the woods,
bound him to a log and riddled his
body with bullets and buckshot.
Mrs. Smith will live but is horri
bly disfigured. Her hands are badly
cut, her eye gouged out, jawbone
smashed, and her throat and breast
discolored from choking and beat
ing. Can men be blamed for thus deal
ing with such brutes?

Take Laxative Brorao Quinine Tablets. All

Push Not Luck.
Business push is necessary for bus
iness success. The men who expects
his business to prosper, just because
it is his dream, will probably find
his dream developing into a night
mare of complications from which
he will be relieved by the action of
the courts. If he escapes the disad
vantages of a serious ending of his
commercial hopes it is often more
luck than anything else. But luck
in business is just about as elusive as
in any other feature of life. Luck
will bo a blessing when it comes but
will bo a disappointment to those
who depend on it. Luck gives
brightness at the time when least ex
pected but will disappoint becausg it
cannot be depended upon. Push
for business and win, but don't just
hope for good results and depend on
a happening to insure success. Wise
planning will result in rich returns.
Active hustle will command respect.
Intelligent publicity will prove the
best investment. There won't be
any luck, or chance about it. It is
a tangible certainty is reliable as an
asset and on which the returns will
always justify the expense. Adver
