KINO OMALEAfS ADVENTURES.
North Carolinian Who Became
Monarch of Four Islands in the
( , New Hebrides Group.
Col. John F.1 Hobbe, or King
Umalea, monarch of --four islands
in the New Hebrides group, who
was! married to! Miss Ella Collin
Wednesday in New York, was born
in North Carolina thirty-six years
go, f f 'i
ne was sent by the London Labor
Society in 1889
to investigate the
slate trafilo in
Kanakas, says the
New York Sun.
-i otw a a
While . sailing
among the islands on! his mission
his vessel was wrecked by a burri -
cane, ana after three days' battling
with the storm he was rescued by
natives and taken ashore. . Instead
of being torturedand put to death,
as is customary.! his life was spared.
but he was treated as a prisoner.
The illlkas were at that time at
war with a nai(hrtnrinr rlh sinrl
Colonel Hobbslbeeah to instruct
- -i . - - aa - vf
them In the arts of lmodern war-
ir '
fore, teaehinc them how to H in
ambuih and to uia ths iword. The v
triumphed over their enemies, and
Uoionel Hobbs was looked upon as
a special messenger of their deity
and was freed from captivity. ' ,
In 1890 the King died after over
indulging in a feast of cocranut
wine and roast- pie stuffed with
bananas. As he left no htir to the
throne, Colonel! Hobbs was chosen
monarch. He Says the choice was
made because his light complexion
appealed to their superstitions, and
they thought he was a kinsman of
the Great White Spirit, the tribal
deity. I . J .
There are four islands in the
Uikan group, ;with a population of
30,000 or 40,000 inhabitants.

Hobbs, "but after I was chosen
King the practice j was stopped.
When the natives were celebrating!
one; of their victories alter their
custom I told them that cannibalism
was nothing more than selfishness.
and; when they killed another they
were robbing the Great While
Spirit. This appeal to their re-
igious superstition won them over,
and since then there has been noth-
ng of the kind. , j! j
'They have a curious custom in
regard to one of their ornaments,'
continued Colonel j Hobbs. For
each man killed theyj wear an eye
tooth of some animal strung with
beads about the neck. The head

principal exports of the islands are

The Education Question.
The supremest need of the state
is to better and improve its public
schools. And what; we need is real
remedy, not a scheme of destrue
tion. It is unfair and unfortunate
that it has been sought to confound
the University and the state schools
with this question. ; The University
is the. logical head ? of the public
school system. It founded them in
the past,- it has supplied and issup
plying them with teachers, without
which they would be useless and it
has always been foremost in work
ing and pleading for them.
Its destruction would not add a
day and a half to their length of
term, but would deprive hundreds
of poor boys of the opportunity of
making men of themselves for the
state's sake. J ; - :
Let us have a real plan, for the
common schools, - not destructive
and foolish as would be a scheme to
abolish the supreme court and dis
tribute the money : among the jus
tices of the peace, but some system
of local taxation supplemented by
the state tax which would give us
in time good schools everywhere.
What we need is to strengthen
both the University and the public
schools.. The state spends S835,-
000 for its public schools and $20,-
000 for its University. : This if the
smallest sum given by any state to
its university. , The tax for It comes
entirely from property.No man
who pays poll tax only, pays any
thing to it and the average property
holder pays only a few cents each
year. The men I of wealth really
support it and yet its halls, are
thronged with poor boys who could
not get an education elsewhere.
Let no backward steps be taken.

which had well nigh faded
from
memory. The recalling of ! these
laded, memories awakens a melan-
choir interest, and forcibly reminds
us that we, too, will soon be among

trace out ; who are and who are not
represented among our present in
habitants, and will doubtless be

to find how large a ner

In the foregoing list such titles as

With this number these remims

the dignity of a history were
never intended as such, but simply
as that which is. indicated by the
title. This self-imposed task has
been one of both pleasant and mel
ancholy! interest to the writer and
he cannot close without an expres
sion of the conviction, which must
be shared by others, that the
Greensboro' of today owes mueh to
the Greensbor of that day. Tb
churches and schools of that day,
established and supported by the
self-denying- and laborious efforts
of those who with few exceptions
had but little of this world's goods,
laid the foundation for all -that is
good and pure now. The praise
worthy effoija. of those who have
since successfully labored ..to pro
mote her teliglous, moral ma
terial interests have been building
upon the: foundation so firmly laid
by their fathers. Greensboro from
that day to the present has been
noted for her schools and ehnrebea
and for' the intelligence and eon -
serratiem of her population. May
her past record for strict 8abbath
observance and fcr the high moral
tone and purity of her inhabitants
never be marred by her present er
future inhabitants.

The Housemaid, and the Dustpan.
f
lo those who know the true in
wardness of things the sight of a
housemaid brushing a dustr carnet
is suggestive of many evils. The
death of Pasteur has reminded the
world of what is constantly preleht
I in the thoughts of medical men-
i namely, that while micro-organisms
jare the great producers of disease,
dust is the ereat carrier of micro.
organisms. Now that we know!
- 1 tneso iniDgs, u is aistressing
nod now little our knowledge is nut
to practical use. and to see old em.
- toms still unchanged, old habits
which we know. to be destructive
- carried on and to find the house-
- maid on her knees, with her brush
and dustpan, stirring up dust to
- 1 the detriment of everyone, and
breathing germ-laden particles to
her own destruction. It needs but
I a small amount or common sense
I to see that if . carpets must Icon
- 1 tinue, a thing greatly to be depre-
icatea, they should bt rubbed with
I a damp cloth rather than brushed,
land that if, in deference to pre j a
I dice, they must, be brushed, this
should be dene bv a covered Ameri
can sweeper with plenty of damn
tea leaves. Of all ways of remov-
I Inir dirt from si Mrnst thm nr,t .

by the use of the ordinary short
i - ... . -
brush, which involves the house-
maid kneeling dwn in the , mirlat
of the dust whleh aha mt nrlUalv
creates, and drawing it into! her
lungs with every breath. For or
dinary household use something
like linoleum, something which ean
be washed with a wet cloth everv
morning, would seem to be the best
covering for floors ; but if carpets
muft be, and It
teach the present
is impossible to
generation J the
evils of seeking present comfort at
the expense of future risks,1 at
least let us remember that carpets
may be washed even where they
lie; that, till-the day of washing
comes, a closed sweeper is far bet
ter than a brush, and that the worst
form of brush is one with a short
handle. British Medical Journal.

An Incident in History.
Major Parsons of the Nineteenth
Maine told this one: 1
"There is some doubt as to what
part the Nineteenth Maine-played
in the war, though most of the boys
think it put down .the rebellion.
The fact is, the Nineteenth ate up
the Southern Confederacy. They
stole pigs, robbed ben roosts.cleaaed
out orchards and cellars, and .for
aged the country so thoroughly
that the rebellion had nothing; left
to feed on. and so lay down and
died." I
Then Al Wells of the same regi
ment took up the thread of
the
story :
We were sweeping along one
day dining on the fat of the land,
as usual. Another troop was ahead,
and between them and us rode Gen
eral Hancock. As the General was
passing one plantation .the aged
proprietor came out and stopped
the General's party. i 1

The Farmer's Golden Bnle j
It is not a new etory, but until
its truth is fully realized and aicted
upon it cannot be told too often to
- - - a 1 J
the farmers of the south that tneir
- a .i.e.
rosd to independence is tnrpogn
the practice of raising tneirjown
food supplies. Make at homd the
things necessary for the support
of the people and animals on the
farm . may well be called the farmer s
golden rule. It is a gratifymgjract
that many of our farmers in Georgia
and Carolina have accepted the re- j
peated admonitions of" the j press J
along this line, and the supply of
footstuffa that is raised in ine-e
states grows larger annually.! fOur
farmers buv less corn and meat man
a " . . . " ' .t,A a A
ever before. uti tnem pruuu
their own wheat, raise their mules,
horses, cows, hogs and sheep, and
pay more attention to the garden,
dairy and poultry;yard, and jthey
will live better and have more money
at the end of the year? Give the
food crops first place in- your cal
culations, and then raise cotton as
a surplus money crop. When) this
is done the southern farmepwill
be the most independentman in
America. Augusta Chronicle1.

The twentieth century began Jan

is ; a fact established by chronolo
gists, that unpleasant elass of peo
ple who deal in figures and who do
not seem to care what cherished
principles they overturn. Many
persons no doubt have indulged in
discussions as , to when a century
begins or ends, bat now another
subject for debate presents itself.
