Tiide Joe" Cannon lias lost his
overcoat. Ho is far-sighted, .economi
cally, hh well as politically, and it will
hot be necessary for the wily Illinois
Congressman to buy another one Boon
if there is-any way to help it. Home
time last taring, when the leaves on the
trees around Washington begun' to take
on their spring verdure and it was moro
comfortable to carry an overcoat on
the arm than to wear it, Uncle Joo lost
his. He iloes not know where he left it
hut that phase of the matter is of no
importance. Last winter Uncle Joe had
to have a new one, and Miss Helen Can
non told her father that he had better
sTep into a nearby store and buy one.
Uncle Joe is very close. He thought his
daughter, however, who is inclined that
way somewhat herself, could drive a
better bargain.. He-told her not to pay;
more man twentymo dollars for the
carmen t. She .paid' thirty-five. The
coat was sent home, Uncle Joe tried it
on and found it cost, according 'to his
daughter, the stipulated amount $2.1.
As a matter of fact, it had cost $3".
Next day Uncle Joe met a' friend on
the street who asked him about his new
coat. Being told that it cost $'23, Uncle
Joe was offered $30 for it. He prompt
ly sxeepted the offer and lost $5 on the
transaction. Washington Dispatch.-

Praying for Bain.
The recent drought has led to a lot
of talk about the matter of praying,
rather pooh-poohing the . iilea that
prayer could do any good. Just wish
ing for rain is the same as praying for
it, the Spartanburg Journal tells us.
We, however, incline to agree with Ir.
I. W. Faison, who had the nerve to
say in a lroard. of health meeting in
harlotte during the water famine that
he ; believed- prayer would make God
want to let it rainja whole lot sooner. "
"Prayer changes things." If it
doesn't it may as well be cut out of
human life. Hezckiah on his death
bed prayed for life and got 15 years
extra; Hannah prayed for a boy, and
pot a whole family. Uzziah prayed
for deliverance from Babylonian cap
tivity and got his tljrone back. The
Ninevites prayed for pardon and were
saved from the doom of Sodom. .Elijah
.prayed for rain and got a freshet.
The shortage of rain is no doubt
connected with the shortage of prayer.
We had a big crop and fruit year, last
year and we thought WE did it with
OCR scientific farming, OUR deep
plowing, OUR legume crops and OUR
etc WE are the people. Our agri
cultural progress is all right, but we
have got to have the early and the
later rains and the only arm that can
open the windows of heaven from the
earth side is the arm of prayer. iiicK

After all we are poor helpless crea
tures dependent upon Cod 's mercies. We

Another Proof of North Carolina's Pri
macy in Every War Prom the War
of the Revolution to the Spanish
American War.
Mr. J. H. Kerr, of Warrenton,' solici
tor of the Second Judicjal District,
has been in- Raleigh this week attend
ing the Supreme Court. lton -the oc
casion of a visit to his native county,
Caswell, a short time ago, Mr. Kerr
went out to the home of LaFayette
Murray who lives three: miles from
Yanceyville and who married a cousin
of President Pot eat, of Wake Forest
College. On Mr. Murrav!' l.lnntaf inn
there is an old cemetery,! which has
been preserved in cood condition since
the War of the Revolution, and Mr.
.Murray took Mr. Kerr out to see this
grave-yard to show him a monument
over the grave of a man whose remajk
ablo deed seems to have bden overlook
ed in North Carolina, Thi inscription
on the monument is as follows:
"Here Ilea the remains of
Starling Guam j
(then the place and time! of his birth
and death.)
Who fired the first cannon at Yorktown
when Cornwallis surrendered to Gen
eral Washington." j
Mr. Kerr said that the iGunns were
an old modest family who long lived in
Caswell county. In the Earlier i days
they were among the largest land own
ers in the county, and were connected
with the Yanceys, Kerrs and other in
fluential families and have decendants
still living in, the county, In those
days Mr. Kerr said people were more
modest than they are now, -and this in
scription would not have been put upon
the monument unless it had been true,
and it shows that CasWell county,!
imong its other great contributions to
North Carolina, produced a! soldier who
deserved to rank with Wyatt at Bethel,
Bagley at Cardenas and the invincible
North Carolinians who gave the State
glory at Bethel, Gettysburg, Chicka
mauga and Appomattox, in addition
now to the claim that North Carolina j
makes of being "first at jBethel, f ur-j
thest to the front at Gettysburg and j
last at Appamattex," we an also add
"First at Yorktown," which gives!

Upton Sinclair is one of the bright
particular star of Socialism. He is
;iuthor of some books which have been
widely read. Ills exposure of the con
ditions at the Chicago stock-yards of
tne teef .trust, i created a national sen
sation.
But Mr. Kini-lair wras not content
with his laurels, as a literary genius.
lie was eager to demonstrate the work
ability of his theories. Therefore, he
collected a" group of rare souls, of con
genial temperaments, and planted a col
ony in Delaware, at a place called "Ar-
lcn."
In this colony the ehoice "spirits of
the inner circle of Socialism" would
ive the. ideal life. They would prove
to scoffing mankind that the Eden of
old could be re-established; and that
Dove and Communism were the creators
of this new Paradise. i '.-
Sinclair's wife is youna and beauti
ful; hr face indicates that she is volup
tuous. At the jtime she agreed to mar
ry Upton, her Views of matrimony were
the same as his. They both believed
that a license jand a formal eeremony
were absurd.
They both believed that mutual Love
and reciprocal affection desire to mate,
justified the mating, without any de
lay, license or
ceremony. But to keep
the girl '8 respectable parents from go
ng "crazy" - the. ardent lovers con
sented to be married in the usual way.
That, was in PJ00. One child, a boy.
the. fruit of this union.
Into this Eden, comes the serpent in
the shape of illarry Kemp. Like the
oung jjoclunvar, he comes put of the
West.. He is said to 1c a poet whose
works" have not been published.
Harry lvcmp was the guest of Upton
Sinclair at the hitter's summer home.
While eating Sinclair 's salt, sleeping in
Sinclair's beds and enjoying the biind
confidence of j his host, Kemp fell in
love with Sinclair's wife.
These two passionate souls discovered
that they were "affinities." Poor
Sinclair was put of it. He had once
been the soul-mate of the lady; but she
had now found that he no longer satis
fied the longings of her heart. Harry,
Harry Kemp! He is the right man;
and, that beihg so, she has a perfect
right to discard Sinclair and mate with
Kemp. ThatV Socialism.
So the young wife goes away with her
econd ?'husljand" elaving the first to
hold the boyj and to be both parents
to their ehildi -
.Now, this voung woman has done pre
cisely as George Herron did. That

man who was his wedded ; wife; and
took up with a rich woman, Carrie

JUST NATURAL VICIOUSNESS.

Late. , '. -,
l do not ncutiL inc iact that sum a
malady (temporary insanity) exists
liot.h among rich and poor alike but 1
believe the name is wrong; for I think
it should be called what jt really is
"Temporary Satniiity" and instead of
being an cxcusablo disease it should be
put down among " the cardinal crimes
and receive the punishment which it
justly deserves. -r
It is a more serious thing to disobey
the law than we sometimes think. That
spirit acquired and cultivated in man
to know no law; to yield to no man's
will except ones' own desires, regard
less of anyone else 's comfort, is a bad
policy. There are -laws made to pro
tect every human being in this coun
try laws made by the best men of our
country commanding what is right and
prohibiting what is wrong, and it is bd
enough to disobey one of these; but to
wilfully disobey a law of nature and
take the right of Divinity in our hands
by destroying a human life something
that none but Divinity can give ana
none but Divinity should tak; -a being
who has been given the privileges of
this earthly existence by the same pow
er who gave us ours, and thereby has
as much right to eujoy it as wo do, it is
a crime indeed.
I have seen victims-of this "Tempo
rary insanity"; watched it in its bud
ding years in littlo children. It comes
in a rather mild form at first but grows
with the victim. It affects them dif
ferently, but usually there is a similar
ity that ean be easily detected.
There used to be a family who Jived
next door -to nic whose children were
very much affected with it. One morn
ing I heard such a noise and screaming
that I looked out and saw a little sprite
of a boy jumping up and down' on the
back porch and giving vent to yells
that ought to come from a boy twice
his size, and all of it was because his
mother would not let him eat breakfast
without washing his ! face. After a
while I heard her tell him to ec.me on ,
then, and he imiufdiately hushed. It
was my lot to live Dy tnem several
years, until the boy was beginning to
be called a "big boy' and the family
had to move away in order to escape
disgrace and get this i same boy in a
different, atmosphere. 1 have seen lots
of people who believe! that evil comes
from without, but instead it is imbedd
ed in the heart, and if allowed to grow
it will become so large at times that
it will crowd out all the good and make
a demon or man. i
It may be considered a rather sacri-
ligious thing to say in the presence of
those persons who always refer to
mothers as "angel mothers", but I
firmly believo that a good per cent of
the crimes of this country, if properly
placed would be laid at the mother's
door. Of course, I know that there are
exceptions, and that no matter how
good a woman may be, she is not jer-
tect. She may think she is doing her
child a kindness when she is doing the
thing that is entirely wrong. How ean
one expect a person to always bey the
laws of man or lod when he h;fs never
known any in the home? Sooner or
later the old habits will come ouj, and
the "my will 'and "my way" will be
made manifest. The considering of
one's own convenience, pleasure and
self before all others, and that exces
sive temper which has never known any
conquering, grows from , childhood.
Then who is responsible?
One of the saddest wails I ever beard
from a human heart was that of. a
broken-hearted mother whose child had
tone wrong-. She called me to her side
for help and sympathy, and I shall nev
er forget the depth of her cry When she
said it was all her fault; for she had
alwavs let the child have its way.
There is amonn my acquaintances a
girl philosopher who will not allow her
self to get real mad, for she says that
every time she does she digs a bigger
trench for more Satau to enter the next
time. . -
Some way I feel more like trusting
a man who can control his temper anu
not have a runaway so to speak, every
now and then.'

DISCUSSES WHAT IS

TEEMED
APT TO MAKE MISTAKES.

But When Controlled it is a Beautiful
Thing But Consumation Must Not be
.Too Soon, . '
We are apt to laugh at the boy ;who
is in love. We speak of "calf Jove'
with a shruir and a smile. II
Yet the bo who is in love is yjjuth
awakened. Before this women have
meant nothing to him. He has loved
his mother as "a matter of coursei his
sisters he, has accepted as neceseary
evils, but now when he beholds the one
woman of all femininity seems canon-
ized because of her. Ridicule at .this
time comes to a boy as a heart-breaking
thing. He loves and his loVe is
sacred. He lives in a world of dreams.
Yet he is apt to make mistakes. U He
is apt to make promises that he cannot
afterward make good. He exacts, aa
allegiance that in. later years may bore
him. He is in a transition stateV he
does not know his real needs, andi be
cause of that lack of knowledge he
should be carefuL 3 I
No boy has a right to ask for a
girl 's exclusive friendship. When! he
does he places himself in a position
from which it may be hard to retreat
Not understanding girl nature, be does
not realize that while his love inav
wane, her 's may increase, and that,
when he has reached mature years, he
may find himself wishing to seek anoth
er goddess to worship, but held because
of the adoration which he has inspired
in the heart of his first love. tj I
Of course, the average boy will,' not
believe when wiser people tell him. that
his first love is not for Eternity, but he
must remembe that the Jit tie girl he
liked when he was ten is no longer his
ideal, and so when he is thirty the wo
man he admired when he was twenty
may not be one with whom his Llifc
could be spent happily. 1 '
There is nothing sweeter than ihoy
and girl friendship, but love is a Very
sacred thing, and he who trifles with it
may meet disaster. -?j !
It is the boy lover who does rashand
tempestuous things. It is the ardent
Romeos who end their lives tragically.
They will not listen to advice, and they
rush oa to meet their fate. . i H

should be their honey-moon bower He
would preach sermons which would-Jfire

band, and he was not fit to be the ead
of a household. The girl, wiser flcr
haps, than he, began to show steadfast
womanliness, and she saved him, but it
was her love, not his, that broughtfhnp
piness'at last. His had been the (boy
ish passion uncontrolled and demand
ing. Her's was a steady flame which
finally lighted in him the fires of j real
affection. ;f
,Boy love controlled is a beautiful
thing, and the boy who thinks h has
met the lady of his heart may worship
her at a distance if he will, but when
he demands too soon the consummation
of their love, he makes a mistake Which
may end in disaster instead of in the re
alization of all his dreams. DOLLY
