Ii the same rute had jtrevailed du ring the same perion in New York citv. the number of Ik auk-ides would have been 50. whereas in reality it was 778. Italy has of European nation.- the worst record for homicides, this is accounted for by the sui vival there of the feudal system and the existence of secret socie ties whose trade is murder. In that kingdom the average rate oi ;.

A oiiiparison made by t h e tp.v,ln or, a reliable insurance journal published in New York, shows that- the homicide rate of l)2, was highest in the South era citL'8, being 20.2 to the 100, 000 as compared with 10.8 for weatern cities, 8.9 forcentral cit ies and 4.6 for eastern cities. For the decade ending with 1911 the city of Memphis had the highest hom icide rate, while the city of Chi cago led in the number of kill ings. Memphis also had the max imum rate for 1912, which was 64.3 to the 100,000. Bay Hurt in Scuffle. Some three weeks ago a young son of Mr. R. K. Hartley, of Blowing Rock, while in a wrestle with a companion, got a fall that so injured one of his shoulders, that he has suffered a very groat deal ever since. One day last weak brought him to town, for surgi cal treatment, and it was caiv f ully examined by Dr. Jones who found that some of the muscles were badly strained but no dis location or Iracture. The Pr. gave him some local treatment, which we nope, will soon give him relief. Fire is a useful sen-ant but dan gerous master, and when in com mand ruins all its sublects. It is asier to prevent fires than to ex tinguish them. fvf rltTCHER t O ASTO R l The Virginia Caralisa. Kll,r. in JruYnum Recorder. I a tii-yar IS'.).')

Then we felt that we would iret no road for vears to come. but it remained for that stalwart nan of strong will and iron nerve, W A. Mingea, to view out and locat.i and build a road across the White Top Mountain and lown Horse Creek, then on to the southwestern part of the county to Todd, point ing towards Boone unl Iienoir, in Caldwell county, whei-e we hoj e it may yet go, so is to give tne mountain counties i chance to reach the Seaboard ind give a market to the South, the road as it is-now projected running nearly due east from White Top to the Mouth of Horse 'reek, then it runs south to Todd. 'he building of,this road was and is a very groat undertaking and when completed will do a good business, it will briug capitol in to this county and cause manu- icturerslo build and will har ness the waterpower and work he iron, mica mines, timb'ersand other things the uneducated mind would never notice, but the in- irined mind and the trained eye ill see many things in which to invest and develop our .great re- omves so as to bring about more wealth and intelligence and serve is civilizing influences and give l he countv some higher tone and haracter. I am sure the people will greatly appreciate the great improvement to the county. I ust the county may be pleased that we will have good service, we ought to co-operate with, the road and show kindness to the operators and they return to us the same .All the engineers are fine men and able surveyors.

The Store Kapparberget in Sweeden is the oldest copper mine of which any official figures can be obtained. It has been worked continuously for nearly eight nindred years. Lieutenant Gov.

Doughton is the name of the new station at the foot of the Blue Ridge on the Elkin & Alle ghany railroad, hence the chang ing of the name of the post office on Cove Creek from Doughton to Sherwood. Mayor L. C. Caldwell of States ille recently gave a man by the name of Mayhew a sound whip ping on the street, for insulting his wife as she passed him. May- lew was drinking, but was prob ably about sober when he was turned loose. The body of Leutenant Erie L. Ellington, who was killed on Nov. 24th, by a fall from an a rmy aeroplane at San Diego Cal. was brought to his former home at Clayton for burial. He was a son of the late Sheriff Ellington of Johnson County. William B. Wilson, Secretary of Labor is a self made man. The American Boy says that as a boy he worked in a coal mine and in all he was never in school more than a year. In 1807 he went to Congress. From a coal mine to a position in the Presidents Cab inet, is his record: As was stated some time since, Mr. Andrew Joyner of Greensboro was offered a joh in connection with the exposition at San Fran cisco. He however declines the position which pays $3,000 an nually to accept the position of assistant Collector of revenue at San Domingo with the same sal ary. The surveying of George Wash ington, done in 1751 when as a boy of 19 ho ran lines through the Virginia hills for Lord Fair fax, has been checked up by gov ernment surveyors who report the work of the father of his coun try perfectly done. The govern ment has been retracing these lines because it is buying land in this territory for the Appalach ion forest reserve. President Finley. Rev. W. R.

It is no fulsome praise, but straight facts when we say that Miss Nora South was one of our choice girls; a graduate with honors from the A.

The model young people have the wishes of all for a long and pros perous life, and that all earthly blessings may be theirs. Better Than Bold. delicious Te!encoie. A gentleman while sitting at the dinner table with his family, had these words said to him by Ids son. a lad of 11 years: ''Fath er, I have been thinking, if I could have one single wish of mine, what I would choose."' "To give you a better chance," said the fa ther, "suppose the allowance be increased to three wishes, what would they be? Be careful Char ful, Charlie." He made his choice thoughtfully; first a good char acter; second of good health; and third, of n good education. His father s-ngzested to him that fame power, ri.-hes and various other things are held in general esteem among men. "1 have thought of of all of that," said he, "but if I have a good character and good character and good health and a good education, I shall be able to earn all the money that will be of any use to me, and everything will coniealong in its right place." Xothing can be added to the wis- hmi of this choice. It is like unto Solomon's which was the soul of wisdom. The lure of human life is along the line of lame, power and riches, none of which can be of a-iv real advantage to the indi vidual, except to have the higher qualities of head and heart, which stand for character and and con science. Health, character and culture are better than gold. They count for more, both for time and eternity, than all earth ly possessins combined.
