The dog question mil not do n. "This s.ctiou of North Car .Una" says the Lei.oirTojiii''is a good stock country and titnes would lie much better if more people would mve more attention to sheep raising and -rk timetothe worthless-dog industry. There area few folks who appear to place a higher estimate upon nn ordinary hound tbnn they do up on their families. W have learn ed of n cert 11 in family composed of a father, mother, eix children and six dogs. There arenoch tok ens, pitrs, or cows on the premis es, and the dogs are fed and car. ed for whether the children have sufficient food and clothing or not. If the heiid of this family ould siilKtitnte pigs nnd sheep or other hht ep fur his dogs, the problem of supplying the house hold with the necessaries of life would be solved and his neigh bors would find life more pleas ant." Entirely true, and there is more yet to be said. .We tax the sheep which the worthless dog kills, but, except in the case ol a few counties which have shown them selves enlightened enough to take the step, we lav no tax whatever upon dogs. We tax horses, cows, pigs, and other in dispensably useful domestic ani mals, but not the dog. We do not tax an Hnimal whose exist ence necessitate maintaining at public expense a State Pasteur institution for the treatment of hydrophobia,, which -often at incus children through vicious- ness, which in given to making infernal racket during mankind's houis ol sleep, which produces notbingand consumes voracious ly. We virtually put a premium upon his indefinite multiplica tion at the expense, ns the Topic frays, not only of useful animals but even of children who would otherwise he be) ter fed tnkintr the children's bread and casting it uuto dogs. Such dogs, as their owners deem to possess value from the standpoint ot sport, utility, or sentiment, should be taxed as other valuable proper ty is. The rest should be exter minated as mere nuisances. We hope and believe that the time is not far distant when this will be done. Warning to Railroad Men. E. S. Btcon, 11, Bast St., Bath, Me., sends out this warning to rail roaders; "A conductor on the rail road, my work caused a chronic in flammation of the kidneys, and I was miserable and all played out. A friend advised Foley Kidney Pills and trom the day I commenced ta king hem 1 began to regain mv strengeh. The inflammation cleard and I am far better than I h a v e been for twenty years; The weak ness and dizzy spells are a thing of the past and I highly recommend foley Kidney Pills. M B Blac1 . nurn. Revenue Officers Shepherd and Webster got busy the latter part of last week and cut up two dis tilleries.

In neither case was the still captured, the parties having hurriedly removed same. North Wilkesboro Advance. TO THE PUBLIC.

The school teacher, like the preacher, must live on a high plain in order to hold his grip on his business We know a few teachers who are somewhat " sporty" but they have no influ ence, and they cannot hold their jobs. The men who stay in the business and become real factors in the educational field are men of clean lips and lives, whose bear ing is dignified and who by their daily living comptl respect. We take off our bat to our preach ers and teachers. They are the best men among us. Charily and Children. Children Ory FOR FLETCHER'S C ASTO R I A in an affray or fight within town of Boone: and anv per Aldermen. News reached here this morn ing, says the North Wilkesboro Advance, of a serious shooting affair at Blue Ridge Church near Idlewild Sunday between Roy i Vaughn Beshears and Otto Par jsons. It seems that the young menboreeach other an old grudge and mo there Sunday when they attended church. A quarrel ensu ed, when Beslieart drew his pis tol and fired on Parsons. The ball entered near the nose and ranged back in the head. The wound is considered as being quite dangerous. At this writing Beshears has not been arrested. Divorce sometimes demon strates that you never miss a Mrs. until she's missed. Champioa Rear Lie. Hk-kory Democrat. "What is that black thing shooting the i-hute?" asked a workman of the Bitter Lumber Co. at Mortimer one day lust week of his companions. All eyes were turned toward the head of the chute, which is half a mile long, extending up the top of a steep mountain. It is a deep groove made by tho hewing out logs, and then the groove is greased to make the saw logs cut out high up on the mountain side elide down easily. It doesn't take long to shoot this chute, and in a few moments the lumbermen involuntary jum ped backward asagruntingbauk ol black hair swept past them in to the stream uuder the mouth ol the chute. It was a bear cub! With a low growl it splattered out of the water, clambering up the bank and ran into the woods. The lumbermen were too a ranzed to try to head littl Bruin of; and fell to discussing how he must have slipped into the chute as he picked huckelberries on the peak, and lost his handhold. Now, there it no wild beast of the forest that loves a frolic more than the genus Ursus. This is the reason we so often see the dancing bear. A bear has a keen sense ol humor. Indeed your bear is a born Irishman. This 6hoot the chute episode was just as lunny to little Bruin himself a it was to the workmen, as the sequel will show. Several days later the work men at Mortimer saw three bears thumping down the chute. One was little brother and he had his mother and sister with him. No sooner dowu than they scram bled tip and came down again, and again. This they did for sev eral lays, till the lumbermen be gan to get too familiar. Then the bears cut out the chute shooting till Sunday, and if the State Press Association will stay over Sunday at Lenoir, Capt. Nichols will ;ive them a special train up to Mortimer to see the sight. Whiskey idvertislngr. The time Is coming when the reputable newspapers of the coun try will have to abandon whis key advertising or loose the pa tronage of the betrer class of peo ple. Public sentiment isgrowing steadily in this direction. The Sun does not carry whiskey ad vertisements. We do n it be lieve a newspaper has the right to go into as sacred a place as the home and parade the temp tations before the boys and girls. The newspapers should stiive to elevate and strengthenthe moral nature of its realers rather than tempt them. It is true that the ad vei tising business of the saloon is tempting. They use space lib erally and pay for it, hut we do not want any of it in ours. The business man who goes to Sun day Bchool on Sunday to church and prayer meeting and prays long winded prayers for the a bolition of the drink evil and then gives his business through the week to support the brewer and the distilies is being whisper ed about already and pointed to as an insincere man. We are sur prised to see some of our very best weekly papers in East Ten nessee accepting and in fact cat ering after the saloon advertis ingsome of them have been championing the cause of pro hibition for years. We hope to see them cut it out. Greeneville Sun. J. M. Howell, a popular druggiat of Greensburg, Ky., says, "We use Chamberlain' Cough Remedy in our household and know it is excel- jent.

"The day is not far distant when 500,000 people will come to the mountains of western North Carolina every summer. Good hotels and good roads will bring them to that beautiful scenery and glorious climate. The Ashe viUe Citizen says a fine hotel ia to be built near the summit of Mount Mitchell. Massachusetts parties have paid $240,000 for an 8,009-acre tract of spruce tim ber on and around the historic peak, and will coustruct a rail road, build a hotel, and cut tim ber. The biggest and most per manent resource and asset of North Carolina is its climate," correctly says the Raleigh News and Observer. Salisbury Post. Do Ghosts Haunt Swamps? N'J, Ntfver.
