With the nesting season of
the birds it band, it is well to
remember the lew against de
stroying the Bests of soag or
game birds. It is s good lew
■ad should be eaforeed. Why
•boold • partridge'neat or a
red-bird’s aest, or a mocking
bird’s aest be btokca op? It
ie wMteaHy cruel to destroy the
yonog birds, H is also crad to
break the eggs and end the
■toting of the mother-bird.
When ohcditace to aaworthy
*ad cruel instincts leads toward
eatiaetioa instead of increase
of oar game ead tong birds, it
is Ugh time the law should step
fo sad say as it does say: It is
• misdemeanor to take or aced
itosfr destroy the seat or eggs
of any of these birds. The
penalty la ana dollar tor each

at 11 a. m., the Rev. Charles
Weaver, D. D., President of
Davenport College, Lenoir, N.
C., preached the sermon.
1 hough the auditorium was
crowded, he held the audience
spell-bound for 45 minutes.
At 2:50 p. m., Dr. B. F.
Dmoa of Raleigh, (State Audi
tor) was introduced by Prof.
Wilson in a brief but eloquent
speech. Dr. Dixon arose amid
cheers from the audience and
said, (when tbe cheering had
ceased) Ladies and gentlemen,
"I am glad to be with you," and
ere he had ceased speaking, 1
can assart the doctor that the
audience was as glad to have
him present as he was to be
with us. For tbe tbe space of
three-quarters of an hoar be
was gradually lifting his bear
ers to higher aspirations in edu
cation and morals.
Tm Smart.
President Roosevelt’s strenu
oosness leads him to do some
very qnwise, not to my foolish,
thing -some-times. His action
in the San Francisco disaster is
the latest exhibition of smartness.
The first instance was to refuse
all offers of foreign aid, tailing
tbe people abroad that we didn’t
need their help. It is true that
we are abundantly able to take
careoftbe San Fraocisco-people,
bat some of the foreigners asked
tbe privilege of contributing
anyway and were rather hurt
when they were tamed dowa.
Alter being told we did not need
their help, if they insisted on
contributing tbe contribution
should have been received as a
matter of courtesy. There is
never a disaster of consequence
abroad that Americans do not
contribute and we would prob
ably feel offended if oar kind
offers were curtly tamed down.
Tbe second exhibition of
smartness was to Issue a proc
lamation directing that the col
lection and distribution of tbe
feuds apd supplies for tbe
tmUftn be tamed over to the
president of the National Red
CroM Society, time conotetdlv

Tuesday the 24th. Mr. Charley
Finger, of Catawba county, came
down and led to the altar MIm
Essie Cantler, one oi the hand
somest and moat intelligent
young ladies ever reared in our
Country. Miss Essie was the
last of the single denghters of

many friends wish for her a
happy time. This is two of
Bast Gaston's brightest Cansler
girls that the Fingers of Catawba
have come down end taken

for some of onr boys to go to
Catawba and do former what she
bss done for ns.
Mr, and Mrs. B. L. Finger, of
Catawba, came down and spent
a few days with Mrs. Finger’s
parents,‘Mr. rad Mrs. Cansler.
We are sorry to note that Mrs.
E. O. Davis is right sick. We
hope she may soon recover.
Key. Mr. Taber preached a
very interesting sermon at River
Bend last Sunday at eleven
o'clock to a large congregation.
Our farmers are most through
planting cotton. From what we
can gather some of them have
planted as latgely as ever. If
the farmers everywhere have
done as they have, and prices
Kdown next foil, they will be
t under the collar and holler
for Abcrnetby and the other
officers of the Cotton Association
to go it and they will follow like
a swarm oi beet on the march
for a new gum.
In Mr. R. I*. Abernethy’s of
fice is a common short-tail cat,
that sits on the table and has
watched its master write hun
dreds of letters on the type
writer and then take his pen
from a bottle to sign his name.
This procedure has been watched
so often that when the master
writes a letter the cat takes the
pen from the bottle and tries to
do the signing. The cat has
kept this up so long until she
bss got the pen stock nearly
eaten up with her teeth.
Mr. j. H. Bowen, with three
mends from Gastonia spent a
pert of last Sunday at Open
View. They drove over behind
a pair of J. F. Davis & Son’s

Breathed through the neat pock
