Lenoir Topic, 10th. Maj. J. G. Ballew died at his home in Lenoir this morning about 10 o'clock, after confine ment to his room for a week. The end came peaceafully and without a struggle. Major Bal lew had been in failing health for several months, and while his condition has been unfavorable for a few days, still his death was unexpected. Maj. Ballew was born in Burke county Jan. 15, 1820. He lived in Morganton for a number of years and came to Lenoir as one of the original citizens of our town. He was first married to Miss Mary Ann Moore, of Gas ton county, and of this union two children survive, Mrs. B. F. Davis and Mr. W. A. Ballew, Mr. F. A. Ballew having died about a year ago. The second marriage was to Miss Frances Rousseau, of Wilkesboro, and their children all survive, as follows: J. Gor don Ballew, Julius Ballew, and Miss Mattie Mae Ballew. As Major on the home guard during the Civil War, Maj. Bal lew served his country nobly and well. He was chairman of the Board of County Commissioners for a number of years. He served as United States Commis sioner for some time and was al ways faithful in the discharge of duty in whatever relation he was placed. He was a member of the Methodist church and lived an upright christian life. Maj Ballew' s last wife died on the 10th of March last, and his death wras therefore exactly three months after that of his compan ion. Maj. E. J. Hale f or Delegate-at-Laarge to the Denver Convention. The name of Maj. E. J. Hale, of Fayetteville, will be presented to the Democratic State Conven tion at Charlotte for election as one of the four delegates-at-large to the National Convention at Denver. Major Hale's long and dis tinguished services to the Demo cratic party are well known. His expsrience as a delegate to National Conventions is unique. He was a delegate from his Con gressional District in 1884, and has been a delegate-at-large three Election of Graded School Teachers.

A large touring automobile con taining a man and his wife in a narrow road met a hay wagon f ul- y loaded. The woman declared hat the farmer must back out, but her husband contended that she wras unreasonable. "But you can't back the auto mobile so far," she said, "and I don't intend to move for anybody. He should have seen us." The husband pointed out that this was impossible, owing to an abrupt turn in the road. "I don't care," she insisted. I won't move, if stay here all night." The man in the automobile was starting to argue the matter, when the farmer, who had been sitting quietly on the hay interrupted. "Never mind, sir," he ex claimed, ' 'I'll back out. I've got one just like her at home." time his colleagues honored him by election to one of the offices in the delegation's gift In 1884, he wTas elected Secretary of the Convention for North Carolina. In 1896, as delegate-at-large, he was elected the North Carolina member of the platform commit tee, and was one of the eight who drew the now famous Chicago platform. In 1900 he was again elected delegate-at-large, receiv ing the largest vote ever cast in a North Carolina State Conven tion up to that time, and was elected Chairman of the delega tion. In 1904, though the drift of sentiment was against his views, he was for the third time elected a delegate-at-large, and wTas elected by his colleagues Vice-President for North Caroli na of the National Convention. As is well known, Major Hale is one of Mr. Bryan's closest per sonal and political friends. It is known, also, that his candidacy at this time has Mr. Bryan's warm approval. Maj. Hale has the unanimous endorsement of his county Cumberland. Mary A. Miller, Camile Claywell, Margaret Feimster, Willie Spain hour, Ella Torrence, Josie Lax ton, Sallie Hogan, Music Teacher; E. W. Hairfield, Penmanship Teacher. Colored Schcol C. E. Saxon, Principal; M. C. Carson, Lillian Walton. All these teachers are known here in Morganton except Miss Ella Torrence. This lady former ly taught for Superintendent Avent, and is one of the ablest teachers of the State, having had twelve or fifteen years experi ence. She is a graduate from Saluda Seminary and has had considerable normal training. A resolution was adopted, out lining as a future poliey of the graded school, that after this coming session, 1908-'09, all teachers must have either a diploma form some reputable col leee, or a State certificate from the State Superintendent of Pub lie Instruction. TOLD BY HIS HAT. Sensations of One Overtaken by the "Sleep of Snow." :4astor Bertrand was climbing a mountain with a party of students. Feeling tired, Jjg lay down to rest while the others proceeded and was overtaken by the "sleep of snow." He felt himself as If struck by apoplexy. His head was perfectly clear, but his body was powerless. He tells his story thus: "A kind of prayer was sent np, and then I resolved to study quietly the progress of death. The sensation was pot painful, but at last my head be came unbearably cold, and it seemed to me that concave pinchers squeezed my heart so as to extract my life. I never felt such pain, but it lasted only for a minute, and my life went out 'Well,' thought I, 'I am what they call a dead man, and here I am, a captive balloon attached to the earth by a kind of elastic spring and going up and al ways up! When my companions re turn they will say, "The professor's dead." They do not know I never was so alive as I am! The proof is I see them now the guide is stealing a leg of my chicken. "Go on, old fellow! Eat the whole if you choose, for I hope my corpse will never eat again." Hello! There is my wife going to Lucerne. "Well, wife, goodby!" ' I confess I did not call dear the one that has always been very dear to me. I felt neither regret nor joy at leaving her. My only regret was that I could not cut the string. Suddenly a shock stopped my ascension. I felt that somebody was pulling the balloon down. My grief was measureless. When I reached my body 1 had a last hope. The balloon seemed much too big for the mouth. Suddenly I uttered the awful roar of a wild beast. The corpse swallowed the balloon and Bertrand was Bertrand again!" In other words, the exertions of his friends were successful in resuscitat ing him. Leon Landsberg In Boston Post. AN ISLAND OF MASSACRES. The Way a Traveler Picked Out an Englishman. "See that man?" the lately returned traveler remarked to a friend. Indicat ing an individual a little ahead of them. "Well, I never saw him before, but I'll lay a good sized bet that he's an Englishman and, moreover, a Lon doner." "How do you tell?" the friend asked. "By the way he wears his hat," was the reply. "Notice how it is Jammed down on the head? Englishmen, espe cially Londoners, put on their hats for keeps. No chance is taken of being separated from a 'bowler.' That's what the derby Is called over there. And It's the same way with a top hat or a straw or a cap, for that matter. "The American wears his hat lightly In comparison, and so do the people of southern continental Europe. The French, for example, have a penchant for hats that seem a bit too small for them. At any rate, their headgear doesn't appear to be very firmly fixed. It may be my fancy, but an Italian al ways impresses me as a bit uncom fortable in a hat At all events, he likes to avoid wearing it whenever pos sible. But your Englishman wears his hat thoroughly and seriously. It's tilt ed back a little, as a rule, and the nearer it is to his ears the safer he feels." Just then the man ahead drew a pa per from his pocket It was the Lon don Times. "There, what did I tell you?" was the returned traveler's comment New York Press. Bingham School.

To the Editor of The News-Herald: Through the kindness of the clever superintendent, I visited the County Home the first Sun day in June and preached for the inmates. They seemed to appre ciate the service. I have visited several county homes in North Carolina, and I believe that the home of Burke county is about the best kept of any. Mr. Tate seems to be the r'ght man in the right place. Give him a little more room and he will do Burke proud in the care of her poor. The inmates are fond of Mr. Tate and make as little complaint as any I have ever seen. Care for, the unfortunate is a crowning glory to any people. J. D. Larkins. I I Land Deed to Jesus Christ. Kansas City Star. A peculiar deed discovered by abstractors of Randolph county conveys 120 acres ot lana near Darksville to Jesus Christ, says the Stoutsville Banner. The deed had been made in 1850 by Johnson Wright and Eliza Wright, his wife, and had never been contested. The descen dants of the family had held the property m trust and have thrived upon it. The story is that being very pious this old couple wish to return by deed of will and law to their Saviour the material blessing which He had conferred on them in this life. Giles-Reed.

Haiti has been the scene of more J, massacres than any otner place on m ill. '' They began with the coming of Co lumbus and the rabble rout that fol lowed him. In a few years its 3,000, 000 gentle, brown skinned inhabitants had perished utterly, exterminated by fire and sword and by forced labor in the mines, to which they were utterly unsuited. In all history is no tragedy more colossal and more pitiful than this one. Next the buccaneers seized the un happy island and wreaked vengeance on the Spaniards in such a manner that even the old chroniclers tell of the worst of the atrocities only in the Latin tongue. Presently came the French, and for a brief space there was some semblance of peace. But in 1793 the negroes le volted and murdered practically all the whites, the scenes enacted resembling those that took place at Cawnpore and elsewhere during the Indian mutiny, but magnified a thousandfold. On account of these atrocities fright ful reprisals took place when France in due course reconquered the island. But the negroes bided their time and presently rose again under a ruffian named Dessalimes. This time they did the thing thor oughly. Not only were all the Euro peans put to death, but all having any admixture of white blood in their veins suffered a like fata Many of the vic tims were burned alive after having been first tortured. In all it is computed that over 5,000, 000 men, women and children have met with violent deaths on this island of massacres since the Intruding white man first set foot on its palm fringed strand. Pearson's Weekly. EDUCATED BEARDS. Whiskers In Paris Reach the Pinnacle of Cultivation. It is in Paris that the whisker reaches its highest state of civilization and development The luxuriant ver dure on the faces of some of the Pari sians who strut along the boulevard every day can be compared to nothing but the riot of vegetation in the trop ics. Every Parisian has whiskers much whiskers if he can, but some whiskers at any rate. He supplements nature's efforts with the best aids of the barber and trains and nurses his hirsute appurtenances with anxious care. The Parisians spend hours on their beards and educate them into formal gardens, set pieces, shrubbery, terrace and vista effects. They lay out hair- scapes with them, arrange them in un dulating meadows and twine them on pergolas. There is the long, spade con coction much sought by men with black beards, which consists of about a foot of hair cut square across the bottom and adds much glory to the wearer, for the whiskers always shine and glisten in the sun. There are side winders and pointed ones, the' heart shaped and the curved, the waved and the plain. A man who can train his whiskers to grow in a new way is as much of a celebrity as a man who writes a good poem or paints a good picture. Samuel G. Blythe In Every body's Marazlne.

It Is a curious fact that people when talking in their sleep are always truth ful and never evasive, but if their feelings are played upon by their ques tioner they will betray great anger. Their eyes are always tightly closed, and the intonation of the voice is very different from the tones used when the person is fully awake. Sleep talk ers may by conversation be brought to remember a dream within a dream, and they will recollect what happened in preceding dreams. Very often men tal anxiety will make people talk in their sleep when under other conditions they would never do it Moonlight. Many readers may not be aware of the fact that the full moon gives sev eral times more than twice the light of the half moon. They may be still more surprised to learn that the ratio is approximately as nine to one. Pro fessor Joel Stebbins and F. C. Brown, taking advantage of the extreme sensi tiveness to light of a selenium cell. measured the amount of light coming from the moon at different phases with the result above mentioned. The rea son for the remarkable difference shown la to be found in the varying angles of reflection presented by the roughened surface of our satellite to the sun. The moon is brighter between first quarter and full than between full and last quarter. The cause of this is evident in the more highly re flective character of that part of the moon which lies west of its meridian. Should Put Up Sign Posts.

An American Scholar's Work. It should be humiliating for English men to reflect that It was left to an American, Francis James Child, to compile the five thick volumes of "Eng lish and Scottish Popular Ballads" which are familiar and invaluable to all students of this Eubject But self reproach is forgotten in admiration of his work. Child himself unfortunately did not live to finish his task. How ever, he was more than a scholar and an editor.
