NO 2a HIGH POINT. GUILFORD COUNTY. N. C, OCT. aa. 190a VOL,. XXIV W.bm Uphold. W.MriB Writing for tbe Courier-Journal, Mis W. H. Felton, a well known Georgian, wife of a former member of Congress and Federal judge, warmly lakes up tbecndgela on the side of Henry Watterson in his at tack on New York society. She writes : "It is well to understand Mr. Watlerson's articles apply to a great many more people than the Fonr Hundred of the fashionables in New York society. Perhaps that is a sample lot or a specimen case, so to speak ; but there are more or less of the same sort of persons in every prominent city or town in the Un'ted States. They are doing their best as imitators and copyists, and according: to their oppcitunity Ihey are treading in the steps of the ereat leaders in fashion and lrivolity and aping their manners and customs as nearly as possibl.'. "A nation newer goes to smash bo long as its women are clean and upright in morals and manners. The oroudest boast of the Southern Confederacy in defeat was the noble character and virtuous lives of its women. There may have been snips and traitors anion? them, but. bless God, we have never heard of them after 40 years of struggle and trial. To-day there is no higher strain known to civilization than the ante-bellum wife and mother of the old South for rt fiaement. virtue and clean living ' What Bmobu of Harooa. It has been ascertained, it seem?, that mere propinquity causes 67 per cent of all marriages, the other 33 per cent being credited largely to the "hero" who rescues the lovely maiden from the undertow, or 6nds her when lost in the woods, or drngs her from before the wheels of a trolley car, or fishes her up when overboard from a yacht, or rescues her from an avalanche. After any one of these heroic pro ceedings it is strictly in order that a marriage license shall follow. But while we hear enough of the hero's achievements before mar riage, it is to be regtetted that statistics are wanting to show thit he lives up to the character and remains a hero after marriage. Does he carry the baby cheerfully in the lonely hours of a frosty night with the incensibility to suffering which he once prided himself upon? Of course, he cau't keep snatching his wile from a watery grave every summer, but what does he substitute for ll? It is to be feared that the hero re laxes and develops a study self regaril, as we never hear of his hrilHant exoloits a'ter marriage. Thp hprnine also becomes, it is said, a trifle matter-of-fact under the conjugal yoke, but she is be lieved to play the part longer than the hero. Star, and Strlpae Fourth Oldaat The national flag that has been longest in use is either the dragon banner of China or wecnrysaiune mum flag of Japan. The former has been used from a very early neriod. and the latter is as old as the present dynast in Japan, which is the most ancient in the world. Among European national fligs, that of Denmark a white St. George's cross on a red ground is the most ancient, having oeen in use since 1219. No other flig has existed without change for any thine like the same period as a national emblem, although there are loval standards that are older. The Spanish colors date only from i78;. and the British flag, in its present form, was first flown after the Union with Ireland in 1801. The Stars and Stripes was first planned and ordered by Washing ton of Betsy Ross, an upholsterer of Philadelphia, and formally adopted on June 14, 1 777- Foley's Kidney Care . a a a a a a a. makes kidneys ana utaatx ngox Travails la Danasrons Constant motion jars the kidneys which are kept in place ia the body by delicate attachments.

On the trrin returning from Wins'on Wednesday night was the wife of Jerry Grasty, colored Jer ry is Judge Boyd's messenger and his wife had been taking in the Winston Fair. When the train reached a point near the coal chute approaching the city, it slowed up as is always is the custom. As it did so a muscular, fairly well dressed white man boarded the car and stepped Into coach near the door of which sat Jerry's wife, her valise sitting close to her seat, but somewhat out in the isle of the car. without the man walked right by the valise, grabbed it, stepped briskly on and before on bad time to think be was o it of the car and away. Jerry' betur half set up yell ery naturylly any one under the circumstances would have done the same thing. Passengers in the car, seeing what had been done, qaited her, telling her they would find an officer at the station and catch the thief Policeman Barnes was on duty and in a short time had landed the chap, valise and all, and locked him no. He savs his name is Will Curlee and he had a pistol on his person. He was heard to say at the jail that he thought the woman was a servant to some ahite woman or he would not have taken the valise.
