contains nil Uiat if best in the
literature ol an ancient x.ile

eivl-Kia--ti al; fiction, poetry, dm-

To u..r..;f? mnrr, ,n H-.n

ditions of this p eople, written by
an unknown prophet, probably
as an mtro luction to the eo!li-c-tion;
the next four books are a
collection: the next four books
are a collection of the laws of this
people as tliey were gradually
formed during a period of centu
ries of their national life; the
books of hisiory which follow are
complications from pre existing
materialists, and it is possible
now to distinguish to some ex
tent these materialists the dif
fer nee between two chief sources
of the compilation coming out
el arly in the parallel but inde
pendent narratives of Kings and
Chronicles. Job is what Prof.
(Jeeiiung has well called it, an
' epic of theinnerlifV the I'salnis
are a collection of reiigioiu
hymns, some of which were used
in the temple service, others lor
private devotion; I'roverhs nnd
Ivjclesiastes are books of ethical
culture, which almost entirely ig
nore both the theological doc
trines and the ecclesiastical in
stitutions o! the people; The Song
ol Songs is a love drama, one of
the i arhei t as it is one of the
most beautiful in the world's lit
erature, and the prophetic books
which follow nre collections ol
addresses which may bn compar
ed to the political addresses ot
the modern moral practical prea
chers. The New Testament contains
four biographies of Jesus of N.iz
ureth, largely compiled from pre
vious oral and documentary ma
terial; a history of the beginning
of the apostolic churches; letters
from evangelists to the infant
churches, und a book of dream
literature written to encourage
faith and hope in the church iu a
period of bitter persecution. But
they are all, from the first chap
ter of Genesis to the last chapter
of Revelation, records of human
experiences. They ace written
not by amanuenses inscribing
at dictation something which
they could not have learned ex
cept by miraculous infoimation,
but by men of like passions as we
ourselves are, written down what
they have seen and felt, and wri
ting it down that their readers
may see ami feel t he same life
truths. The Bible is a library of
characteristically human experi
ences. For soreness of the muscles whe

i ('! m I Caii brother, publisher
of K nth iig, is inclined to
I knock the Senatorial eaiHi lates

tii.it in time past S'liimons did
'not treat him exactly light, but

that Simmons' inllu -nee is a
great asset a'id will b.coui -gre i-
ler tin' longer he 'em ius iu the
sen ile an argumentt hat ishard
t g -t around. The Uei !svi le
ile i vv says that the contest in
Rockingham county will be. be
tween Simmons and Kitehin,
"though Aycock has some fol
lowing," and it "knows ol some
attorneys who are for Judge
Clark." The Review itself comes
out fiat footed for Kitehin nnd
says Rockingham is ttrongly for
him, though it admits '"there ire
unmistaknbl.' evidence that Sca
nt or Simmons has a strong or
ganization at work"' and '"good
work is being done to IJiu1 up in
fluential votes for him." In the
Favetteville Ooeerver, Judge
Claik has the only outspoken
champion we know of. Governor
Kitehin has no reasou to doubt
the enmity of the Lexmgl on Dis
patch. The Wilmington Star has
not yet signed up. Everybody
knows how it will be with the
Raleigh News nnd Observer. Ay
cock is a prime favorite with
Charity and Children. Judge
Clark can count on The States
ville Landmark to keep the let
ter from the mountain cove man
about "them there rale roJe fel
lows" in circulation. TheFuyette
ville Index is not disposed to for
get what Simmons accomplished
lor the improvement ot the Cape
Fear between Fayetteville and
Wilmington. We have mislaid
th copy of the Wilmington Dis
patch containing its declaration,
but uiir iaipressiou is the Dis
patch is for Kitehin. The Ilie.h
Point Eaterp is has a distin
guished opinion of Judge Clark,
but il also thinks well of the oth
er aspirants. The Greensboro Rec
ord prefers to have fan with all
of them. The Hickory Democrat
is one of the papers disposed to
treat Simmons fairly. Coining to
that the thought occurs to us
that we cannot rec ill a paper
that has failed to do so. From
this general sketch it will be
seen that comparatively" f of
the State papers have so far lin
ed up. That is, few of them have
expressed an open preferen-e.
There are indications, however,
that soon the sparks will be fly
ing. Things have already b e e n
said about Clark and Kitehin
and Simmons .that have been
scissored and pigeon-holed for fu
ture reference by the partisans of
each nnd when the knocking be
gins, it is going to be lively.
Ex-Governor Aycock will occu
py a uniqu ) position. No slialts
will be shot his way. We do not
believe there is a single taper in
the State that will find the remo
test occasion to assail his record
or his personal character.

Just wiiat the form of dissolu

a Hint ter of conjecture at this
time. The decision is on "all
fours," as the lawyers sny, with
the Standard Oil decision, and
t i .ne is allowed for winding up
its affairs and getting its busi
ness udjusted "within the law."
It seems to be almost certain
that an era ol readjustment is at

wiil likely dissolve, under the new

jecture we assume that the Hull
fa. tory and the Dukes Mixture
plants at Durham will be opera
ted as an independent concern,
the same course to be pursued at
Winston by the R. J. Reynolls
plunt.. At any mte the atmos
phere is becoming clearer, the
uopular demand for putting
down the trusts has been heard,
and the decision will have the 1
fect of restoring partial rest and
quiet where there has been dis
order and confusion. At the same
iine, if Attorney-General Wick
ersliam is right iu claiming that
a sweeping victory has been w on,
a most picturesque and spectac
ular campaign issue has been
sidetracked. We hope that is
true.

making repairs the loolish act of
this crane would have seriously
delayed the decoration of the fed
eral graves iu the national ceme
tery at Marietta by the thous
ands of At hint ians who journeyed
there Tuesday morning.
An operator in the substation
ol the trolley system near the
Chattahoochee liver saw the
crane and its pjrotechnic finish.
The huge bird, measuring six feet
from tip to tip of the wings,
swooped down on the wire short
ly after day light. No other bird
but acrnii i possesses legs long
1 enough to reach from one wire
j to the other, but the operator
; never dr.ainod tl'at the crane,
I even with this valuable append
oge, would deliberately reach ov
erall! intake a contact between
the heavily charged wires. That's
just what the fool bird, did, how
ever. The observer saw a flash, e
the crane completed the circuit.
That wasabo jt al!, except for a
shower of feathers nn.i an odor
of broiled meat that hung ar
ound the spot for awhile alter
w ards. Latrfr a long beak nnd a
well-done drumstick were found
underneath the wires.
The country folk in the negh
borhood when they heard ot the
accident delared thev were glad
the crane wasn't a stork.

The Hirt Pi.bbrr.
Fo'ks who live in cities know
very little of the insect known as
dirt dobbers, but out in the conn
try it is u veiy listless kind ol n
boy who has not watched the
dirt doblM is "daubers" may be
the right name but to the boy
they are ''dobbers." Theselittla
wasp-looking insects build their
houses of mud ami then fill them
w it Ii spiders. Tiie dirt dobber is
a friend of the fly, for the spider
catches the 11 v and the dirt dob-
ber comes nlougand nabs the fly
Liller. ll you will take a stick or
straw and touch the spider in
the dirt dobber's house you will
find that tunny of them appar
ently dead are .alive for they will
wiggle their legs alitt'o and then
jro back "dead." Wonder il the
dobber dopes the spiders? The
dobber lays its eggs in the spi
der's back and the heat of the
spider hatcht s the egg and the
young dobber lives on the spider
until it is nearly grown. If the
old dobber lays an egg in the
back of a small spider it will put
another spider by the side of it
and the little dobber then has
two spiders to live on. Dirt dob
bets are interesting little crea
tures, as all the I ttle busy folks
inNatureare, and they nre worth
watching. But they can produce
a lo of vexation to a particular
