United Commercial Travelers, who will hold a social session at that time. Mem bers of this council ar looking for ward with much pleasure to this event, which promises to be a perfect success.

Mgfc tide, and anchored ofT Hotel . Tarrymoore,. on the sound.- As this was rather unusual tt caused quite a j little excitement, and the guests at - the Tarrymoore had a fine view ot the ' 'pretty little tug boat.

What with the Firemen's Tournament, the Red Men's powiwow nd carnival, baseball, delightful trips own the historic Cape Fear, "Gay Lumlna" and the many attractions of fered at the beach, and perhaps witlt some of our frtvnds who hail from prohibition territory, a little some thing on the aide, we believe that all spent a most enjoyable visit. Wil mington and Wrightsville always wel come visitors from our progressive sis Ur city, and we trust that we my see many of them here this summer. The Edwards Hose and Ladder Company, of Oxford, consisting of about twenty members who came down to participate in the recent fire tournament, made their headquarters in one of the large cottages recently erected on tho beach, bringing their own servants with them. The mem bers of the company entertained a number of friends during their stay here, and speak most pleasantly of their visit to Wrightsville. Friends of Mr. George Hall, of the staff of The Evening Times, of Ral eigh, formerly a resident of Charlotte, wer pleased to see him on the beach during the past week, where he spnt wveral days and received a hearty welcome from all here. who know him It is understood that the Seaboard Air Line Railway will run several ex curslona .from Charlotte to the beaca durtna the summer, and Mr. James Ker. Jr., passenger representative of the railway, located at Charlotte, states that the Seaboard Air Line Railway will be prepared to handle large crowds most reasonably and in great comfort , As information to our- readera. It may be well to call attention -to the attractive studio of Mr. J. W, Buck, which is .sltUated Just south of Luml na. Mr. Buck has .several splendid ocean scenes, snd also an airship scene, all of which are very realistic. His rates are reasonable, and hla 1 cal reputation alone assures him of a large patronage during the summer. . Mr. Buck makes splendid group pictures, having taken photographs of all the members of the North Care Una Manufacturers' Association, as well as other meetings of Importance here this summer, while his individual photographs are all that could be ds Jred ' the mm DAY BY SAVOYARD. Political- Joint ' discussions between candidates of opposing partlea have long Deen out oc xasnion, ui inai mischievous child of demagogy, the primary, will surely re-establish it In canvaasea for party nominations.

I can see him throw that long upper lip on hla nose and that classic nose on his forehead, and re fuse the acquaintance. Like Nell Gwy-nne. he would ejaculate, "What company am I get into!" What lie would do to John Rhea would be a- plenty. ' . At the North political Joint discus sions ceased sooner than It did at the South, though lesa than 20 year ajro there was Joint debate In FaneuU Hall between Henry Cabot Lodge and William E. Russell that served to niake the latter a Democratic Govern or of the Republican Commonwealth of Massachusetts. X know of no po litical Joint debate at the North since After the war Robert C. Schenck and Lewis D. Campbell, opposing candid atea fr Congress, held Joint discus sions in the famous old third Ohio district' Schenck, perhaps the most Intellectual ' Republican Ohio ever produced, had been a Whig and so had Campbell, who had followed Schenok Into the Republican party; but Canvpbeil aided with Andy John son in the era of reconstruction an4 was now a Democrat. Both Hchenck and Campbell had made races for Congress gainst Clement U Vallan dlgtoam In the third district, and aa I now remember both nad beaten rum. and both had been beaten toy him. Of course, the most famoua Joint discussion of politics at the North was that between Douglas and Lin coin in 185$. But for it Douglas would have been President, and but for It Lincoln wou'd not have been President. On the atump the two men were not in the same claaa; but Lincoln forced Douglas to repudiate the Dred Scott decision. It saved to Doucias the eenatorshlp, but lost to him the South in national convention, and thus lost to him the presidency. It was my good fortune to have a rather Intimate acquaintance with the late William H. Botta, of O'asgow. Ky., a man of Infinite Jest an orator of wonderful power, a lawyer CT al most magical skill. One day riding on the road on horseback he related to ma the following anecdote of a Joint discussion .between opposing andidatea for the Legislature In Jackson county, Tenn. I have tried to tell It 'before, but a story that U not worth telling twice Is not fit to tell onca Botta waa a native Ten nesseean, and of the soil. He waa not only a great lawyer, but he was a remarkable man In many phases. A major in the- Confederate army, and a rich man In 1861, he found himself bankrupt In 18(5, and moved across the line to Glasgow, Ky, a State that opened the door of the mansion and the cabin, and the por tal of the heart, and the soul to any body who wore the gray. I have heard Botta laugh meritorloua cases out of court X have known him to get verdlcta by the employment of a pathos that appealed to. tne neart. though ao callous that It waa dwarf ed to the very dry stump of a human entity. He was no politician, and was densely Ignorant of the common est lltsrature of politics, and thus it came that he waa disastrously beat en In hla only race for Congress. But to the story. About the year 1857 'or 1868, Botta, then a lawyer of 'arge practice at Galnsboro, Tenn., had two young men living In hlavfam lly and students of law in his offlce."R-j-rHng us within a generation that a One. Stanton, was a young collegiate! iita. and merciful Father, for his of brilliant parts and of great prom Ise, who, ere he had entered his seventh lustrum, was killed in oatt'e at the head ot a Confederate regi ment. The other, Talbott was of ruder training, but endowed with a native Intellect capable of great achievement Stanton was a Whig and Talbott a Democrat; but the fellow ship between them was an Idyl of brotherly lovs. Stanton had a taste for politics and kept himself well In formed on all political questions. Tal bott knew nothing of politics and car ed nothing for It In the web of fate these two were entangled, and their respective par ties made them candldatea for the State Legislature from Jackson coun ty, then aafely Whig by 800 -majority. It wss the castom In Tennessee In those' days for candidates for ths Leg Mature to make two tours of the county In the discussion, addressing the voters ot each beat at least twice They started out and before the first week expired, word came to town that Stanton was making a . monkey of Talbott. to the delight of the Whigs and to the confusion of the Demo crats .The candldatea returned to Galnsboro at the and of two weeks. nd It waa conceded that Talbott's case was hopeless. Botts loved them both, and - had resolved to take no part, but he Was a Democrat aad his politics got the upper hand of his Impartiality; so on Sunday morning he took Talbott for a walk In the woods and asked htm how he was getting on. The young fallow answered that he fcnew noth ing about politics, that Stanton . was well posted, and that he , was Juat running to preserve the party organ isation; that It was a Whig county and it would be but natural lot him to be defeated. - - - " s .

It was In 1879. less than 10 years ago. that Herbert Spencer, In "The Data of Ethics," stated ths theory quite nakedly: "the belief that the sight of suffering Is pleasing to the gods." He added: ' Derived from bloodthirsty an tnra. such sods are naturally con ceived as gratified by the Infliction ot pain; when living they aeugntea in torturing other beings; and witness ing torture is supposed still to give them delight.
