When a man loves a woman he looks np to her bnt that is before she becomes his cook. When our children ask for an ed- ncution we do not wunt to buy: 'Our poverty is too great to give it to you, It is said that a boy or girl who has character can withstand any temptation, and be victorious in any conflict.. With a little care where roads are worked regularly and the water is turned down a side ditch there is much improvement in roads. Almost every day you hear of some one who wants to move to Ashe boro. There is a hum and in ring in the air. Every body is busy. We have a large home market to supply with fruits and vegetable, and when the home market runs over other markets will be found Take stock in the Building and Loan Association and buy you a lot and build you a home in Asheboro. The town is now growing faster than any town in the State. If you don't believe, ;ome go with us round and lock for yourself. The mills in Anlieboio give steady employmen and good wages. The morals of he town are- good. The school is as good as any in the State. It is a healthy place. That is enough. These things are like mag nates they attract. Yes, the Australian ballot will come but not until the public schools have paved the way. When every voter, like Scotchmen claim to be, can read and write, then we can and ought to have the Australian ballot. The burning of the barn and wind- will on the Holt farm, iu Davidson county, the loss being several thous and dollars, calls to mind the fact that this is probably the best farm in Slate. It is in what is known as the Jersey settlement. When you Bee a young man loaf ing and idling away his time, you wonder whtt their well-to-do and respectable parents mean. Could conditions not be improved by im pressing on th- public- mind the sin of idleness and the 'dignity of labor. District Attorney Jerome calls Jefferson a faker, lie forgets that Jefferson abolished the law of piimo geniture, put into the laws of Vir ginia the right of any man to wor ship God as he liked, founded Vir ginia's great University, to say noth ing of his Louisiana purchase out of which fourteen great States and some half dozen territories ltave been carved. The money now nsed on the pub lic roads in this county would pay the interest on $100,000 for bonds to build good roads. It would take several years to use $100,000 in building good roads, and before that much money was used in building good roads, property would be so enhanced in value and sojnuch new capital would be invested that the county wonld be more than re paid for the outlay. Somewhere we have read or heard, probably in one of the large biogra phies of Napoleon, of the horrible Passage of Beresina when the wreck of the grand army of Napoleon was madly crowding the bridge to escape the Russian and Cossack horses, camp followers and demoralized soldiers are desperately struggling for footing on the bridge, a mother was seen crowded off the bridge, sjnkiug into' the freezing waters of the river. In her arms held on high was her babe, nd after she could no longer speak, those motherly arms, holding aloft her infant to the last, made mute appeal, "Save my child!" "Let me die if I must, hat save my child." Noble humanity,' every where in the language. The wreck age and pilfering of the school funds and the poverty of a utstresed people 'made conditions such that the.. .State could not rescue many poor mothers from ignorance. So it is we caogot la every instance rescue koth meihar.and child and ever true hearted mother would do as the dying mother at Bereslna did hold op her babe in her sinking ' arms and make j the heart thrill at her ary, "Save my cniiu.

WOMAN'S STRANGE HISTORY. Born In s Hovel and Raited Is Extreme Pov rty She Founded s Million. The remains of Nannie Rich, t destitute white woman, aged about 30 years, wan buried at the public ceme tery at this place friuay. ihe fun eral Bervicts were held at the M E chureit, conducted by Kev W L Shernll. The subject of this sketch was born of the moot humble parentage 11 a hovel and grew up to woman hood iu extreme novel tv. Iu some manner she learned to read and write and the Bible was the book of books to her indeed. It was her constant companion, and by studying its pre cepts became a convert to the Christ ian religion, and her life was devoted to the service of her Master. It was her custom to visit families in her neighborhood, read and discuss the principles of morality with them, in her simple way and in so doing wielded an influence for good throughout her community. Some years (.go she held a number of Sun day evening prayer meetings at a place now known as West Chapel. The people in that section,' were illiterate, and as a rule without moral training, bnt through her efforts a substantial church has been built and has a membership of some thing less than 100, and is in a pros perous condition. The superinten dent of the Sunday school at this place is an excellent farmer and well-to-do in the world, and until recently would have much preferred to attend a prize fight than to visit any church. About every family in the community is represented by membership in this congregation, and its establishment has worked wonders in bringing about a great moral reformation in the community as a result of the faithfulness and persistent labors of this poor girl. There is a regular pastor assigned to this charge and the church is the property of the M E Church, South. Asheboro cor. Charlotte Observer. The inereaee of about $36,000,000. in current expenditures of the gov ernment during the first ten months of the current fiscal year was due chiefly to the large disbursements for the naval establishment, and in a lesser degree to disbursements for civil and miscellaneous objects and for Indians. The nvy has cost $15,000,000 more during the lat ten months than it did in tne same months of the fiscal vear 1904: the expenditures for civil and miscella neous purposes were nearly SfB.UUO, 000 greater, and the disbursements on acconut of Indians between $3,- 000,000 and $4,000,000 greater. The total expenditures for the navy in the last ten months have been $99,413,990, as against $84,400,187 in the first ten months of the fiscal year 1904.

For working people, the difference between proejwrity aud poverty may depend upon slight differences in the systems of education, labor or savings wnicn nave been afforded tnem. The object of this writiue is to discuss the bst system of savings institutions which has been devised and to show how to use it. The most successful and most advantageous system for working peo ple is that of co-operative institu tions, whereby working people may neip tueuiselves and make their own way to prosperity The most imoortant conditions which-1 conceive to be necessary for the maintenance of a successful co operative savings institution are these: (1). The development of a high respect for Christian principles. This work is naturally, to a large extent, in the hands of the ministers of the different Christian denominations, (2). The development of intelli gence and skill by education and training. The development of 111 telligenco rests upon the system of education provided by the State. The execution of the system is in the hands of the teachers. The develop ment of skill rests upon the system of industry or labor fostered by the State. The execution of the system rests, in industrial pursuits, with the employer and the workman; in agri cultural pursuits, with the farmer. These preliminary conditions are fairly well fulfilled in almost all communities in the United States Wherever they are well fulfilled human labor, when aggregated, is a most excellent basis of credit. At tome time in the past some- body discovered that human life, wlen taken in the aggregate, is a goou collateral an excellent basis of credit. Upon this theory, with proiier regaid for surroundings of industry and economy, life insurance companies have teen formed, and from very small beginnings have ac cumulated vast wealth. Nothing is more uncertain than the life of one individual. Nothing in human affairs is more certain than the aver age life of 5000 men having normal surroundings. bo also an agreement with one workingman is an uncertain basis of credit. One workingman might be dishonest, might lose his job, might get sick, or might die. Five hundred or a thousand workingmen together, however, have a certiau average con dition of continued work and pay. If one drops out, another can take his place. This makes the very best basis of credit, superior to all other forms of security. All accumulated property, except laud, is the result of past labor. Even land would have no value ex cept for labor. Buildings depreciate. 1 hey become eld aud obsolete. Cor porate securities are uucertain and hazardous. Even land itself depre ciates under changed conditions. But the labor of a country is always in the most modern form and of the fullest value. Current labor the labor ot today labor in the aggre gate when its uncertainties are eliminated, ranks, as a basis of credit, above the very best of other forms of collateral. A building aud loan Association is an institution for aggregatiug aud averaging the net tvsults of labor aud establishing it as a basis of credit. To illustrate its operations, assume that 500 people form an as sociation. They may be machinists, bricklayers, merchants, clerks, tele graph operators, etc., all working people, and all having lair prospects of regular employ mint for wages or salaries. If each member pays in $1 a month, these 500 people will save an aggregate of $500 a month. In two months the association will have $1000. This may bo used to build house for one of the members. The house, is deeded to the member for wheni it is built. The associa tion retains a mortgage on it to in sure favment of dues and interest until each other member, in turn, :s a house. This usually reou res regular payment for about six and one-half years. The member moves into bis new house. The rent formerly paid i now saved, to be applied as part of the dues and interest payable to the building and loan association, in some cases, when rent is high, the reut alone will pay dues and inter est. In such case rent money literally buys home. In all cases the rent money pays a large ortion of the instalments. At the worst, a very small additional outlay is required for a home of comparatively high value. Where houses are routed, in half the cases the rent money will pay half the oost oi the house in about six and one-half years. In a quarter of th cases the rent money will pay three-quarters of the cost. In a quarter of the coses the rent money will pay all the cost These differ ences depend on the cost of building the rate of reut and th discretion and taste of the member who builds.

Mr R M Bruton, of Wadeville. had the misfortune to lose his smoke house aud another outhouse used for tools, by fire Tuesdny nieht April 25th. The smokehouse was first robbed of about 700 lbs of meat and was then set on fire bv the robber or robbers. No clue as to who the in cendiary was. There is a story of late that a man who recently married not a thousand miles fr"m Troy was -expected at two places on the day of the event and that the two young would.be brides were waiting in readiness. However, as the story goes, only one the lucky or the unlucky one was led to the bymenial altar, while the other retains her maiden cog nomen. J R Blair left yesterday for Rock ingham on business.

No county ever amounted to much without good roads. Good roads will make the poor more rich and the rich man richer. Good roads induce desirable citi zens to locate in the neighborhood. Learning is oue kind of crop which once sown, is certain of a bar vest. Good roads like good schools help town and country, rich and poor alike. Good roads insure goed attend ance at church, therefore good roads promote Christianity and good morals. In climbing the ladder which leads to success it is persperation and not pull which makes the best kind of motive power. The causes for less drinking is due iu a large measure to the disfavor which both the social and business would both show to men who have become slaves to liquor. The local editor of the Union Re publican recently writes of "hiring" lawyer. This evidently escaped the "vigilant" eye of the editor who is himself a lawyer. Those who know successful men best soon learn their genius is not heaven-born, but simply the result of the very closest, application of the hardest and most conscientious tudy. The Civic Association is the name under which the Standard Oil Com pany is seudiug out much literature justification of Standard Oil methods, especially referring 'o the trouble with Kansas, and in reply to Miss Ida M Tarbell's strictures. A Russian method of curing warts is to take a sua glass and focus the rays of the snn on the wart 30 seconds. Do this two or three times a day, aud the wart will disappear in a week or twj. The same treat ment is also good for lupus growths. The North Carolina Regimental History of the Civil War is s most valuable publication. It is publish ed in five volumes. A complete set is to be given to each rural library n the State. These books are of great value and should be read widely. In the days agone the farmer was. we might says, independent not so now, for the poorest and most frugal must purchase many thing. In primitive days the clothes of all members of the family were often made from cloth woven in the farm house. People drink less liquor now than formerly and have less patience with habitual drunkards. The Atlanta Journal says there is not so much liquor drunk iu Atlanta as formerly; The Richmond Times Dispatch says there is net so much drinking in Richmond, and it is so in all Virginia and so it is elsewhere. The Wilkeeboro Chronicle is anthority for the statement that the Commissioners of Wilkes county have released Spencer Blackburn of all taxes charged against him be cause he is not s citizen of .Wilkes. boro, and yet Spencer grew red in the face during the last campaign when it was charged against him that he was not resident of "de ate" but lived in GresBsboro.
