When men devote large amounts of money (as they grow old and the enjoyments of making and hoading wealth relaxes) to charitable purposes, we call them benefactory, ' but when . a young wo man with beauty, grace and charms and with wealth devotes all, on the altar of principle, to others, especial ly the poor, and when that principle demands that she "practise wbat she preaches and willingly,- contrary to the hue and cry, "no doctor ! " gives her life to show her principles, I "take off my shoes from off my feet" in her presence, for where she lies Is "holy ground," No one ever dleh in this State and few, any where, that de mand of me greater admiration.

Wercer. Writes of Charlotte to Wilmington Highway. Editof'Star: The Pathfinders nave made their report upon its Endings, which is Terjr coanpreheslte-and full and should have its weight with the committee in charge of ine Charlotte to Wilmington iiighway,1 in - making the final decision as to location. As an interested, onlooker- nd - will wisher - of the enterprise,""! winf ven ture to Suggest that tne . whole route be over North Carolina territory and! neighbors across-the State line to in tersect the highway with good roads at various points, as well as the neigh boring counties' in our own State. The advantages thus gained are too ob vious to be mentioned. --Stiek a pin In Wilmington, on the map, . ls6 stick a pin in Old Hundred, neat Hamlet, then draw a string frem pin to pin and the string will come 100 miles of the 'S. A. L. R. R.; now stop a Pit and think what- that: means. From 'there on. to Charlotte,' tae country becomes v more hilly (J-Becessari.y the rout more crooked. But by mil means stick close to the line of the S. A. L. fi. K .anx we will have the best, most direct and most practical Toil that, to my mind, could be selected. Although '"many swamps and much- lowland would be encountered by this route, yet the same would , be encountered b7 ,&n.y other. . But . we nope for ' great tilings to be accomplished by the various drainage projects now being organized in many sections where -drainage is so mtcii needed. Of course, tne only logical way to enter " Wilmington, would be across Eagle's sland,". at some point t or near tne '-yAsent causeway. If - any legislation is necessary in order to accomplish this, great improvement to Wilmington arid vicinity, lstt it be put in shape by the authorities for our next Legislature to handle. J. B.

The entire! jfroht portion of the building was en. veloped in flames and efforts to get the 'horses and mules out v were suc cessful only as to the saving of two horses, ' one of whichy however, was so badly1 burned that it was deemed best to shoot him to relieve him ox bis sufferings. It was a frame struc: I tare covered with sheet iron, which made it extremely v difficult for the firemen to get at the flames. They bought heroically for more than " an .hour before the fire could be" consid ered under' absolute control. , "V , -At one time it looked ; 'as if the dwelling house next north, owned : by Mr. Ferney Gooding and occupied by Tit.

Mr.' Conway was awak ened by the noise made by the stamp ing of the animals in the stables and immediately aroused members of his family, who in their excitement went out thinly clad and" were cared, for at tne Colonial inn across the street. Pa ttolman J. JvMoore thought of the family of Mr. Gonway as soon as ' he noticed the flames and assisted them In making their escape. The house hold effects are probably damaged to some extent by the water, but Uhere was no fire damage. - :- ;. -rMesSrs. M.- A- Potter and D. W.

AH the ani mals which were lost were very valu able, the total estimated loss being $2,500. Alderman Fred W. Bonltx, chairman f'tbe streets and wharves committee, stated "that the animals Were fairly well insured, though not to their full value. It is fortunate that the fire occurred on a Saturday night for' otherwise all of the teams might have been in the stables. and been consumed. The loss of Mr. Or- nell 4s estimated at $4,000 or $5,000 Bd ,,lt is said ithat his property was only partially insured.
