The Dirge or Tha Auctioneer V" (Charlotte News) The last rites-have been said over the silent remains of the once glorious Tar Heel Club, of Greens boro.' The funeral dirge has sounded it last somber note and the intinnabulation thereof is heard no more the club is dead, dead as a "door naill" Like the flowers of the field it flourished for a brief space, but, alas, its course is run and the place there of knows it no more. Its four walls, that once hemmed in one of the most rambuncious presi dential booms ever, have been robbed of their adornings and the cry of the auctioneer was the last noise heard before thecutain dropped. "If you have tears to shed," prepare to shed 'em, for the club is dead for. keeps, everlastingly and eternally non est! In fact it is the deadest thing in North Car olina unless iVbe the c 1 u b's progenitors. They are all dead "Sleep on beloved, sleep and take thy rest," and don't be in a hurry abou it there's plenty of time. But in the midst of our mourn ing, we pause to pity the lifeless thing. There are deaths and there are deaths. Alkali Ike, after making one heroic dash for the pole, fell vanquished, but with' a halo on his gallant brow. Thus also died Panhandle Pete, with the la urels of victory still clasped in his pulseless palm&.and his belt decked with shaggy scalps. These all died game, with their "boots on', they answered the last call and chased in. But, "more's the pity," such was not the fate of the silent club. No historian will search its re- mains for data; no future gener ations will rise up and call it blessed for the work it did it died ignominiously, ingloriously died simply because there was nothing else to do. . r In moments of grief, etc., it is some times premitted one to see things at. other times invisible. Being, at this juncture, in t h a t state of mental transfiguration, we see the cruel death angel bend ing oyer the new victim, and then we see him slowly rise, and beck oning to the death thing's papa, E. Spencer, call shrill and wierd- like "Next." - Wise Counsel From the South. "I want to give some valuable ad vice to those who suffer with lame back and kidney trouble," says J. 8. Blnnktuship, of Beck, Tenn, 'I have proved to an absolutexrtain. ty that Electric Bitters will posi tively cure this distressing condi tion. The first bottle gave me ereat relief and after taking a few more bottles. I was completely cured; so completely that it became a pleasure to recommend this great remedy.

Last year we mined 400,000,000 tons. ' In 1896 "we produced' 8, 600,000 tons of iron. Last year we produced 25,000,000 tons- Our copper output of ten years ago was 240,000,000 pounds It is now 900,000,000 pounds. In 1896 we dragged from the bowels of the .earth minerals and min eral substances worth about 1625,000,000. The value of our mineral product in 1906 approx imates $2,000,000,000,. These figures are bewildering in their immensity; It is no wonder that we are -the .-richest nation on earth.

Senate Fri day panned a "service pension bill" which grants a pension of 912 a month to all surviving ol diers of the civil and Mexican wars who have reached the age ol 62, $15 a month to all who are"70 years of age and $20 per month to all who .are 75. Thin tension is suliply (or those who served in those wars and have reached the agfs indicated,' re gardless Ol w net her tuey did or did not incurdisabilities.'Thebiil will increase the .tension expend iture about $7,000,000 annual ly. It was intended solely tor Fed era! soldiers, but on motion of MrCarmack, of Tennessee, Mex ican soldiers were added and al so an ameudment providing that attorneys should not receive fees for securing pensions under this bill. The same day the House passed 028 private pension bills. This peusion expenditure is ex pected as a matter of course and criticism of it is a waste of time and space. We ha.ye mentioned the bill to relate, that a rem ark a ble incident occurred . during its passage. The bill referred to the Federal soldiers as survivors of the "war 01 the rebellion." Mr. Curmack asked that this bechan ced to "civil war'' saying that the term "war of the rebellion" was offensive to many people. There was a friendly discussion ol theproper name of the proper name for the struggle ol the 60s, some of the Southern Democrat ic Senators contending that its proper designation is 'war be tween the states." Mr Teller, of Coloiado. formerly a Republican, who joined the Democrats on the silver issue, said the war was ei ther a "civil war" or a "rebell ion." and he could see no oppro- binm in the word rebellion. The discussion was entirely good-natured, there was not the slightest show of bitterness, and the sug gestion of Mr. Carmack to change tjje term 'war ol the reb?llion" to "civil war" was unanimously agreed to. Eversiuee the historic strug gle it has been termed a rebell ion by the , Northern and West ern people. A few years ago the suggestion of Mr. Carmack would have aroused bitter opposition andtbe tact that the change was so readily m.ide shows that the leeling engendered by the civil war has almost paseed away; Cured of Lung Trouble. It is now -eleven years since I had a narrow escape from consnmp tion," writes C. O., Floyd, a ; lead ing business man in Kershaw, S. C. 'I had run down in weight to 125 pounds, and coughing was constant both by day and by night. Finally I began taking Dr. King's New Discovery, and continued this for a. bout six months, when my cough and lung trouble wereentirely gone and I was restored to my normal weight, 170 pounds."

One morning he toid him to take some salt and salt a calf out in the pasture; The boy took a quart of Halt with him!, and thoroughly . rubbed it ail over the calf, working it into the hair. A gang of colts, in the pasture scented the salt and! got after the calf. They licked all pthe hair off the calf and nearly took the hide off too.

(Atdierille Citizens It Is a generally accepted fact that man ol bimsfll is practical ly DOweriePB. fcuch 01 liods crea tures is dependent in a large measure on the other; he intui- tively looks tor counsel and en couragement to those who are fighting life's battle with him. We have heard and read much ol the "rone that is born to blush unseen and waste its sweet uess on the desert air." Why did it wither and perish? There was no hand to pluck it und give its fra grance to the world, und because ol that fact the world was poor er. It. was also Gray who wrote; "Full many a gem of purest ray serene the darkvuufathomed caves ol ocean bear." We kuow that beneath the surging wave, hidden for all time lrom the gate of man, there lie fortunes ol such dimensions as would enrichen the whole earth. They must remnin tfiere forever tor no human hand can wrench the pearls of great price from their restless bed. The reflection of nature is, evi dent in man. In the daily walks of life we often meet men whose genius has not benefitted the world because the "man behind was missing. We are willing to admit that some men are bom gieat or achieve greatness be cause ol favorable circumstances but it can bo safely asserted that the majority of men who have reached the top of life's ladder have done so because there was a presence pushing them on, oy er upward and onward. Quite often, it is true, this sav ing influence is from one who is financially interested in us; again we find that life line h ild forth to us by some admiring friend, but more often.';the man behind" proves to be some good and no ble woman a mother or a wife. And what greater propelling pow er can we find than the guiding light of a woman's love? With words of counsel and wisdom she is a veritable beacon light, point ing out the dangers that beset life's course. And with such a rock of strength behind him, what man couM not laugh at fate, what obstacles could he fail to overcome? Every chapter ol the world's history is' replete with the triumphs of men who have been inspired by a woman's love. If we cannot be the one push ed ahead, if we .are to be "the man behind," let us know that in serving others we serve- our. selves most, it indeed we act well this part. Wkea a Man Lies. "If you want to tell whether or not the man you are talking to is telling the trnth, don't look him in the eyes," said a Denver bank teller to some friends last night. "I've always understood that it made it harder for the liar if you looked him squarely in his eyes." 'That is a wrong impression" continued the bank teller. . ''The, man who isn't a regular liar, but who has made op his mind to lie to you, decides first that he must look you straight in the eyes.- It is the voice, when you don't look at the eyes, that tells you whether the other fellow is Jjing. We use he system frequently in the bank A, man will come in to tell us some business tale. We look at his feet or his hands or his knees, but neyer in eyes.' If he's telling the truth his . voice will be firm and staightforward, and the ab sence of your gaze in his eyes will not affect it, but if he's lying he'll be confused by your action, and his voice will tremble. He'll hem and Ijowy clear his throat. You may rest assured then that he's stringing yon.' Denver Post. 1 SNOWED UNDER. Of all the things the year snowed - jThe busy old year that has gone under, u 1 IV J j How many will rise in the spring, I wonder. Brought to light by the warmth of May? Will the rose-tree branches so whollly hidden That uever a rose tree it seemed to be, At the sweet spring's call come -forth unbidden, And bud in beautvand bloom for me?" Will the fair, green earth whose throbbing bosom Is hid, like a maid's in her gown at njght, Wake out i her sleep, and with blade and blossom Gem her garments to please my sight. Over the knoll in the valley yon der. The loveliest buttercups bloomed and grew: When the snow is gone that drift ed them under. Will they shqot up sunward and bloom anew? When the wild winds blewand the sleet storm pelted, I lost a jewel of priceless worth, If I walk that way when the snow has melted Will the gem gleam up from bare, brown earth? I laid a love that was dead or dying For the year to bury and hide out of sight, But out of a trance will it waken, crying, And push to mv heart like a leaf to the light? Under the snow lie things so cher ished Hopes, ambitions and dreams of men, Faces that vanished and trusts that perished, Never to sparkle or glow again. The Old Year greedily grasped his plunder, Covered! it over and hurried away; T P il J I 1 j j v ; i 1 i rji me inousanu mingsjienio, wonder How many will rise at the call of May; Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

The Origin of Pesj Is. Three principal hypotheses have been offered to account for the origin of pearls. According to one, they arise lrom secretions caused by .the, presence of some foreign object, euch as a grain of sand, within the shell of an oys ter. But it has been shown that fine pea 1 Is are not thus produced, but only dearly concretions. Another theory is that pearls are the result of disease jn the oyster. .The third hypothesis sus tained b.y M. Seurat, of th O- ceangraphtc museum of Monaca, is that the origin of pearls is to be t scribed to the presence of a parasite. The species of para sites differs with the species of oyster but this mode of origin M. , Seurat believes, is general with all fine pearls. To restore the lustre of a "dead" pearl the outer tarnished envelopes may lie removed with acids. Thus the effect produced upon a tarnished pearl by causing a fowl to swal low it is accounted for by the dis solved action of thegastric juice Youth's Companion. ; The Right Nsnie. Mr, August Sharpe, the popular overseer of the jpoor, at Fort Madi son, la , says: 'Dr King's JNew Life Pills are rightly named, they act more agreeably, do more good and make one feel better than any other laxative.
