THE KEY TO THE DOOR
OF SUCCESS
is in the hand of the mao that
forms the savins' habit. "A
penny saved is a penny got."
Samuel Jobusou says: "The
first years of man must make
provision for the last," and
the only way to do this is to
save from your weekly earn
ing. aud the only safe place
to put it is in a reliable bank

Tba Idea of tbe organisers of tba club
la that through organisation tba umuI
bers ran sacura many benefits which
they eocld not secure Individually. If
tt Is found necessary to enter Into poli
tic* the easy method will eat be adopt
ed. but that of the moot astute politi
cian*. Mr. Wllaoa Mmaetf la oo teen
politician, and vrhanhe waa a resident
of Spoken* Waah.. a campaign was
put through which resulted in tbe city
erecting a water pleat of Its own aftar
a tremendous fight. Tbe dab will bare
no afiUlatloaa with ettber greet party,
oot will work IndepeodeoUy or with
tlmt party or caadldate which promises
the greatest good'to tho metabera of
th* organi latiou. If It la found ■moos
es 17 to colonise tbe retan la seme par
ticular ward er district to alert a m*«
ferorable tt tbe Intercuts of the dub
this will bo dona
Another feature of tbe dab will be
the eetAtlttmant of a large hold
where tbe "hoboes’* will be sheltered.
Cheap beds, from (1 to 13 casts a night,
will bo provided, and those who wlab
a ram loot end will be accommodated
for IB cent* Those irbo arc unfortu
nate and are "broke’’ will be given a
place to sleep free and In the morning
wilt be provided with a cup of colTra
with roUa. None of the members of
tbe dub In good standing will be tnrncd
away simply because they have bo
mouc7 If they are wising to work, and
every effort will be made by tho offl
erts^f tho club to provide aP with em
ployment A tentative agreement baa
already been made with one railroad to
furnish laborers so soon el tbe dab la
b> running shape, and officers of other
railroads dad cenatrnctlom companies
harr Intimated that If the dab can far
nlab good men the organisation will be
patronised. This alone, without tt*
hotel feature. It la believed, will be a
greet Inducement for tbe "hoboce” to
Join, and It Is estimated by Ur. WDm
that before tbe end of tbe year tba or
ganisation will here a membership of
eras S.OOO. With each an organisation
h* Insists that a great deal of leglala

WOMEN AND MATHEMATICS.

Chinan Intel Ocean.
Dr. William Fclter, principal
of the Brooklyn Girls’ High
School, is of the opinion that
the present method of training
the feminine mind is harmful
rather than beneficial.
In order to have hia conten
tion that women are not
mathematicians naturally, and to
establish some other points, be
goes into matters that need not
be discussed here. The main
point is whether or not be is
right is declaring that women
are not good at figures.
No husband worthy of the
name has ever questioned his
wife’s ability to keep house
keeping accounts. Indeed, it
should be said to the credit of
the male sex as a whole that the
average husband would just as
soon question the law of gravi
tation as to criticisa the state
ment of expenses for the ensu
ing week which his wife bands
him on Monday morning. Where
is the man who has not seen
and admired, and accepted with

■Dr. William Felter and other
eminent mathematicians [may
not see in the accounting
methods of lovely women any
thing to commend, but the foun
dations of society would be dis
turbed if the avenge husband
should be mean enough to cast
the slightest reflection upon
them.
Women may not be the very
best mathematicians,' but they
are pretty nearly everything else
that is desirable, and why quar
rel with them simply because
they do not, as a rale, know or
care very much about figures.
It is stated that the fire which
destroyed the camp of the W. J.
Oliver Company, railroad con
tractors, tt Bushneli, Swain
county, a few days ago, destroy
ed $800 to $1,000 in cash on baud
to pay off. Much of the money
was in silver and when the ashes
had cooled a dish pan full of the
melted money was raked oot of
the ashes.
Another knitting mill is to be
added to Statesville's manu
facturing industries, says the
Landmark. The promoters of
the new mill am Messrs, i. A.
Bradford, of Sniloh township,
*?.? KaKcn« Morrison, of States
ville. Practically gll the stock
has been subscribed and the en
terprise ia aeaared. The capi
tal stock win he $25,000, with
the privilege to increase to
$100,000. A charter will be ap
plied for at once.

Two men giving their names
as Lewis sod Foe. and accom
panied by a woman, were before
Magistrate Comer yesterday on
the charge of hawking and ped
dling without license. The
arrest of the men was the result
of the working of n well-known
game of deception at Sharon
yesterday. They offerred corn
salve at 10 cents and after a
number of packages bad been
sold gave the money back.
Then they added other articles
and charged a quarter. The
quarters were all returned and
when they sold additional pack
ages at a dollar, they whipped
up their horses- and made far
Hickory Grove where they were
arrested on the strength of a
telephone message. There was
some trouble hi getting np a
charge that would bold, ana it
was noallv decided to make the
fakirs pay license.
