GOES UP ON HIGH.
Wealthy Chinese Has Novel Trip From
This Life to Next.
There was a pretty custom among some
of the ancients when a prominent citizen
died, to send his valet along with him on
the road to Paradise, and it was often
times necessary to resort to extreme me
thods t.i insure this company for the de
parted. But in the territory uf the China
American Trading Company, Ford dealers
in Tientsin, China, they have discovered a(
much better aid to the deceased over the
rough places on the trip to the Promised
Land.
It is a custom of the Chiuese to burn
various kinds of eiligies at the funeral
ceremonies of the rich, the more wealthy
the departed the more elaborate the fig
ures burned over his grave. These effigies
represent every manner of thing such as
human figures, .horses, sedan chairs, tables
hiadeel with money, etc. The figures
usually conform to some of these ster
eolvi'dl fashion,-, bs:t at t. e funeral of a
Mr. Li, who died u. short time ago in Tient. j
sin, ami who was a vepy wealthy man, the
bereaved family outdid themselves and
made an imitation of tiie deceased gentle
man 's Ford car to be burned at his grave.
This Ford elligy was made entirely of
strong Chinese paper stretched on bam
boo and reed frames. The car was com
plete in every detail, the pedals accurate
ly placed, and all made of paper and bam
boo. Tne interior of tne cai was also ac
curate in detail, being carefully upholster
ed in paper. The efligy of the driver as
shown in the photograph, was a work of
art. The ear was carried about three
miles through crowded streets to the grave
side where a match was applied and it was
consumed in a few minutes.
This is the first time a motor car has
been burned at the grave of a Chinese,
and there is every reason to believe that
the deceased went up "On High."
APPEALS FOR FUNDS
FOR ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL.
Hon S. J. Durham, Though Differing in
Politics from Great American, Makes
Contribution.
Mr. Evon L. Houser, chairman for (ias
ton of the Roosevelt Memorial Fund has
received the following letter to which he
ap ends an appeal for more funds from
(iaston county. The letter:
M: Kvon L. Houser, Chairman,
Dallas, C.
Dear Mr. Houser:
I could not attend the meeting of those
interested in the R. wait Mev, r'al on
the 115th inst.
I am enclosing yon check to be applied
to (iaston 's share of the memorial fund,
and I wish I could mnke it lnr- er.
Differing from Mr. Roosevelt in some
things I v as yrt ri. dniiror ? the man
and of his type. Ami Hhink a memorial
to him as a great. American is entirely
fitting.
Cordially yors,
S. J. DURHAM.
I trust that others will do as t'lis
broad-minded Democrat has done. The
money raised will he used to establish a
school for boys in Georgia on the grounds
formerly occupied by the home of Colonel
Roosevelt's mother. Send all donations
to Eli P. Lineberger, treasurer, Gastonia,
N. C. The campaign to raise Gaston's
quota will end November 15th.

County Chairman.

AUTUMN'S SYLVAN FAIRY.
By Fannie N. Tliaiu, Fayetteville, X. t
In Raleigh News and Observer.
There came to earth one chilly night
A little fairy elf,
While all the flowers were sleeping,
And slyly helped himself
To all their lovely colory tints,
Of crimson, bronze and gold,
And packed them in his fairy-wand
Just all that it would hold.
Then, smiling at the trick he'd played,
With cruel, heartless mirth
On little winglets soft and white
He floated o'er the earth.
But soon (repenting of his joke
He waved his little hand,
And scattered all his lively tints
In showers o'er the land.
Whirling, twirling, down they came
Fluttering through the breeze,
Ami in the morn when we awoke
We found them on the trees,
And every year since then, he comes
When chilly grows the breeze
From Fairyland, and tints for us
Our lovely Autumn leaves.
