THE NEWS-f i tiRALD. T. 0. COBB, Publisher. THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 1904. In Memory of W. H. Sloan. For The News-Herald. William H. Sloan was buried from his limnblehomeon Monday with a touching manifestation of appreciation and regard by his neighbors. The first thing I would say ofhimis,he was about the cleanest man I have ever known. I appeal to all who have known him, and worked, and did business with him dur ing all his manhood, if they ever heard him utter an oath; if they ever heard him tell a vulgar tale or a smutty anecdote; if they ever knew the scent of wThiskey about him; if they ever knew him to "take up a reproach against a neighbor" or speak an unkind woi d of a neighbor, or any one else. Though with a frail, delicate constitution, in the great natural division of mankind into "those who lift and those who lean," he was ever a leader among the lifters. From the time I first knew him, when he was walking five . miles into the country, after his day's wort in Morganton, to comfort and cheer a father dying of consumption, and back in the morning for another day's work, he was lifting for his fellow me chanics, lifting for this town and community, and leaning onnoth. ing but his own faith and in tegrity. As his remains were carried by loving friends from his humble home, some of them could not repress the thought, if he had used the opportunities he had for doing so, and had made for himself a dollar for every dollar he had made for his fellow work, men, he would have been one of the wealthiest men in the com munity; and when his grave was spread with flowers the thought was spontaneous, if every person l."e befriended and tenefitted, could contribute a token, he would sleep in a mansoleum of marble and beneath a pyramid built of more than flowers. A neighbor, whose house was ' one of the first contracts Sloan ever had, etated the simple truth in reply tr an inquiry of a gentle man who wanted a dwelling built in a distant part of the state, "Is W. H. Sloan honest and reliable?" "Yes, honesty and reliability is his fault; he is too honest and reliable to compete with Irs fellows in this day of shoddy work and of palming off bad material." Our well built, substantial churches, banks, court houses, stores, and many of the best homes that we enjoy to-day, built by this man who died the poorer for having done so, are living permanent wit nesses, that Mr. Sloan was too honest to make money by .the methods in vogue; that as "Dan iel pui posed in his heart he would not defile himself with the king's meat," so this man purposed in his heart he would do his work honestly and with uprightness and integrity before his God, to the end of his days, and he did it! Again, all his f 'How workmen and men with whom hehad busi ness relations, will say of Mr. Sloan, what caunot be said of one man in a million, that for a period of twenty-five years, amid all the disappointments, and difficulties and worry and har rassment incident to his business as a contractor, he was always cheerful, always full of f ith, always looking up, always ready to lift, and never ready to lean No one ever asked if Will Sloan was a christian for he was Christ-like. He was the embodi ment of that scriptural descrip tion of the man without guile He was so free from guile, that he never suspected it in others. As a husband, what was said of a king and has embalmed his memory in the heart of humanity, can be equally jsaid of Will Sloan; '"He loved his wife alone; living and dead he never ceased to love her alone." And when she died he became a mother as well as a father ..o her little children, and for them showed that mother's love that no sacred writer with even the gift of inspiration has ver attempted to describe.

This hot spell has developed more or less sickness among the children and the doctors have been busy, Dr. Uennessee, of Glen Al pine, especially. A doctor located at Kollins would find a good pay ing practice. Except wbeu it is raining hard, loaded lumber teams pas here every day going to Glen Alpine. Tne result is that they have turned a good road into a bad one and one which the overseer cannot keep in good repair. Tie heavy lumber wagon loaded with from 600 to 1000 feet of lumber and having only two iucb lires cuts into the soft ground and forms ruts and mud holes along nearly every rod of tbe road. The only remedy for Burke county roads is a broad the, Tom four to six inches wide, and as tbe average farmer is more or less of a conser vatively cowardly nature, he won't get a wide tired wagon be cause his neighbor won't. So uothiug remains but compulsory legislation making wide tires compulsory. Yours trnly, Optimist. June 7,1904. Southern Mutual Home and Real Es tate Co.

Some of the old stories told of the gaming tables can hardly be believed nowadays, though they are related in such a cool, matter of fact style by writers of the time as to show that in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries the practice formed a part of high class social existence. Captain Gronow relates that, having been ap pointed to the staff of General Picton, who was then starting for Brussels (1815), he obtained $1,000 from the ar my agents, "which," he continues, "I took with me to a gambling bouse i& St James' square, where I managed, by some wonderful accident, to win 600." With this sum he subsequently provided his necessary outfit. When the allies marched into Paris after the battle of Waterloo, Gronow found the Palais Royal a hotbed of gambling "the very heart of French dissipation." "There were tables for all classes. The workman might play with 20 sous or the gentleman with 10,000 francs. The law did not prevent any class from indulging in a vice that assisted to fill the coffers of the munici pality of Paris." The English visitors were not slow to participate In the play, one officer of the guards obtaining leave of absence and never quitting the Palais Royal till the time came for his return to the regiment Large fortunes were often lost at gambling in those days, tne losers dis appearing never more to be beard of, Lord Thanet, for instance, who had an income of $250,000 a year, lost every farthing at play and, concludes Gro now, "I do not remember any instance where those who spent their time in this den did not lose all they possess ed." FLOWERS IN MEXICO. So Plentiful That They Are Used For Great Public Decorations. As a people the Mexicans are very fond of flowers, and every village, town and city has its place where flowers are sold, and many of the larger places have extensive flower markets. Often the flowers brought to the market are wild specimens found in tbe woods and the fields, but all are beautiful. In many of the smaller towns and villages the public parks and the sidewalks of the streets are used as places for the sale of flowers. Everywhere they may be bought at surprisingly low prices. So plentiful are flowers they are used for great public decorations. . Some times whole parks and the fronts of buildings for many streets are covered with floral decorations on a feast day, The Mexican love of flowers has been inherited from a long line of flower loving ancestors. More than a thou sand years ago the chief feature of worship among the Tolteca ' was the great floral offering which was made to the fair god once a year and which lasted for a whole Mexican week. Dur ing this festival one of the features was a great floral procession, which traversed the principal streets of the city to the sound of musical lnstru ments. Every one in the procession carried flowers to lay upon the altar of the god or to place upon the steps or walls of his temple. In this procession were princes, nobles, priests and com moners. This floral fesUval was an expression of the love of nature for which the Toltecs were noted. Until they came into contact with the Az tecs later on in history they were pure ly nature worshipers, and flowers and fruits formed the chief part of their offerings. So the Mexican comes by his love of flowers honestly. Intermarrying Among Rooks. Among the odd habits of rooks is the way that members of the same rookery have of intermarrying generation after generation. The males always choose their wives from their near neighbors. and if one should be so bold as to bring home to his rookery a bride from a distance the other rooks will invari ably refuse to receive her and will force the pair to build some way off. In the neighborhood of big rookeries outlsing nests of this kind may always be found. Beldam Marriage. In Belgium It is the custom to give certificates of marriages in the form of little books, which also contain' a sum mary of the marriage laws and among a mass of other miscellaneous inform a tton directions for the feeding and care 01 imams, xuere are also places ior entering the names and birthdays of the children of the marriage, the au thorities considerately affording space for twelve such entries.
