Win, C- HAMMER, Editor.
The elections return show that
while Hoosevelt received a large nw
jority jet he got . uo elttotiul vole
south of the Potomac river.
Mr. Z. 1. Walser succeeds Mr. R.
B. Ridge ix editor of The North
State, Mr. Itidye returning to J nek
ton Hill as principal of the school at
that pluen.
All advancement is baaed on edu
cational progress. The Sonth has
not given proper att ntiou to public
education but there ia improvement,
and in tome parts of the South there
ii tt great educational awakening.
The Fayetteville Observer records
that in the recent election in Cabin
Branch Quewbiflle township, Cum
berland oounty, that out of seventy,
one votes cast in the recent election
all of thein were cast for the (lunn.
cratic ticket.
Money in politics is an 11 1 arming
and growing evil. A habit has
grown of using money in elections
for iiuptoper purposes, borne meu
tell their votes on election day.
Money is used in the primaries and
now and then you find the eipeuseo
of delegates paid to nominating con
ventions. The use of money iu poli
tics is wrong aud should be checked.
Everything possible should be done
to remedy the evil.
The first people in this State to
make changes of districts for the
purpose of changing the political
complexion of a district was by the
fusion legislature. It is said that
the democrats may make some
chances in the next legislature. It
may be that 1Vilke8 will be takeB
out of the 8th congressional district
and put in the 5th or 7th cougtess
ional district and Union taken out
of the 7th and put iu the Sth dis
trict.
These bright days should be used
in completing the fall work. The
boys and girls should hustle to get
ready to enter the public schools
which are beginning and will begin
within the next few weeks. The
public school enrollment last year
was greatly iu excess of any preced
ing year. Our people are realizing
more and more each year the impor
tance of education and that all ad
vancement is dependent on the pro
gress of education.

Tbe True Christmas Spirit
George Madden Martin interprets
the real apiritof Christmas in a story
in the December McC lure's, which
he give the title "God Rest You,
Merry Christians." It ia a wonder
ful picture Mrs. Martin gives her
readers, of a real home and real peo
ple in it on tbe night before Chris-ma-,
when most f the household
have arrived at "the tears and tissue-
paper stage." Theaituation iaonly
aaved from bedlam by the calm sanity
of her heroine, who, catching the
true significance of the day, poors
into it enough of good cheer, peace
on carta and lofti to bring joy to all
within her circle. Mrs. Martin
makes a keen though kindly analysis
of th true and the false Christmas
(pint, which ia good reading for all
at this aeaaon.

Biet for Coossaiptives.
You have to eat at sanatorium for
consumptives, hungry or not. There
are no big gorges to overwork the
stomach, but there are nix meals a
day in moderate size. Some patients
can eat full meals and then swallow
thirty-six raw eggs a day. The aim
of tbe treatment in these sanitariums
ia to get the aiek man to drink three
quarta of milk und eat a dozen raw
eggs day in audition to hit regular
meals of aimple food.
And yon must cat meat and plenty
of it. Don't cut the fat off. The
cow got the moat of tbe good out of
the lean in her lifetime. The fat ia
what will do you good. All that

worth while ia that' it ia a fat easy to
assimilate. Bacan fat is nearly as
easy to digest and abeut flvt hun
dred times as easy to take.
Fruit and a bids yon may eat,
merely to amuse yourself and paas
the time. But yon are wasting
stomach room on them. Milk, eggs,
meat acd hard breads for yoo if yon

WHAT IS ELECTRICITY7
An Enigma Whoso Solution la a Putsla
to tha Scientiata.
W hat is electricity? First we must
sk what is positive electricity? and
the iiiifwor is wo do not know. For
myself 1 do not even guess, beyond
suppiiMiig it to be n mode of mani
festation or a differentiated portion
of th.' continuous und all pervading
elii.r. It seem.- to exist in lump?
the -i.:c of the atoms of mutter, and
no p.wrtion of it ,.5-f in bulk Ihan
an alum h:.s ever been isolated or
upi.-iir likely to lit; isolated. Hut,
;i'i!io;;:.'li il may hiive bulk, it ap-pe..r-
n if it had no appreciable
tna.-; the iua.-si.iiess or inertia of
tlie atom is probably due to some
thing else, i:i fact to the possession
of ncL'.'itive charges in equal amount.
This part of the doctrine is not yet
certain. .More investigation is urg
ently needed into the meaning and
properties of positive electricity.
.Meanwhile we shall only be follow
ing the lead of Professor J. J.Thom
eoii if ie asunio that a unit of posi
tive eh-.-! rieity has a massivencss (or
what is often inaccurately called
'wci;!it") either zero or very small,
most probably very small; perhaps
about 1 per cent of the mass of
soriio atoms of matter may he due
to the positive electricity which
(hoy contain.
Hut concerning negative elec
tricity we know a great deal more.
This exists in excessively minute
particles, sometimes called electrons
nn.l sometimes called corpuscles;
these are thrown oil the negatively
charged terminal in a vacuum tube,
and they fly with tremendous speed
till they strike something. When
they strike they can propel us well
ns heat the target, and they can
likew ise make it emit a phosphores
cent glow, especially if it be made of
glass or precious stones. If the
target is a very massive metal like
platinum, the sudden stoppage of
the flying electrons which encounter
Iu cau.-es the production of the ethe-
rci'l pulses known ns X rays. Elec-
lb
re-Ulicm can penetrate not only wood
"'"I puper, but sheets of such metals
las aluminium and other moderately
thin obstacles. That is because they
are extremely small, mucn smaller
than the atoms of matter. Sir Oli-
,vr wxige in Harper's Magazine.
Persovaranca Rewarded.
"She has promised to marry you,
has she? Did she accept you right
ou?"
"Oh, no. 1 had to propose to her
four times."
"Four times! Gracious, but you
were persevering! What did she
say the fir-t time?"
"She sai l if there wasn't another
man in il.o world but me she
wouldn't marry me."
"That was pretty strong. What
did she sav tiie second time?"
"She said she liked me pretty
well, but she couldn't think of mar
rying me, for sho might see some
one she liked better."
"Humph! And the third time?"
"The third time she asked me if I
wanted ti ti?o the life out of her."
"Ha! ha! Im! And the. fourth
time?"
"Oh. the fourth time she said if I
insisted upon it she supposed she
would have to say yes."
