THE TARHEEL,. FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 11,1903. . V" ' . t . j ii.-',:;v!"r ( 1 A BOTTLE OF TEARS. An Interesting and True Story. The following:1 story, related by neT S. B. Culpepper, is as f orceible " as it is pathetic and will be read with Interest, as the scenes of horror were. i :- laid just over the line in Virginia and the facts are familiar to many " citi- zens of Elizabeth City: "Many years ago, I heard this sad, sickening, shocking : story of a bot , tie ,of tears, while I was holding a meeting just over the .Virginia line. Afterwards I met a man ; who knew the parties and confirmed it in all of its features. h "One moon-bathed evening in Oc tober, a sweet girl of thirteen singing ' Bummers stood by-the baptismal font and answered the . questions which tood for fidelity ; to the church and fcer..Ird forever. :;. - , Only two brief years later,"' at tractively attired in -lovely orange, he stood by those-same altars, with her hand resting, with poetic sconfi ! dence,; upon the' arm'jf-lsjtrbloo- vblei"man aiT.F.

Everybody: ?iaad everything was prophetic of conjugal. Jiappiness and prosperity. As they passed un : der the "weddingiarchv"'-rice rained ' upon them; roses rolled at their feet; ' glances from congratulatory . eyes greeted them on. ; either hand ; moth ers murmured . approval of the match; maidens merrily monopolized the passage to the doors; electric ' jets jumped from jeweled .hands, as they gesticulated, in gleesome glad ness, the hearty, happy be ye's which withered mere words. . The liveried loungers about the doorway, .thrilled by the outpouring throng, sprang to their perches and with one hand - drew reins over stamping steeds, while with the other they touched a chord) jvMch threw wide the welcome, waiting doorwaysjof the robf-wreathed, spoke - bestudded,- gear - garlanded, lamp-lighted carriages by which, amid pealing organ, laughter of stars, with Lunar queen on her Zenithal throne, they were enwheeled on through the short, pretty streets, to' the station, when they soon left all other lovers, and were sweeping on through strange scenery on their way to the family homestead of the groom, . to which he had fallen heir, and to . which he was now taking his young," beautiful bride. , : . Two mornings later, as they alighted at her gate-, two hedge-bordered miles from the railway sta tion, she said, surely nothing is wanting but an assurance of immor ality, to make this place , perfect. J Can anything but Heaven be more , replete with bliss? Could aught in vade this angel-eryed place,; to bring breath of poison? Poor woman! we shall see. .. . ' .- . . "Betwen this , lovely mansion and the large well-kept farm, three miles away, there was a dirty groggery, the gatehring-place of the toughs of. that section. The noble owner of the farm had never crossed its thievish, murderous threshold. :i But, one even ing he did turn in, with a friend N(?) Later, he visited the place alone. He sipped, he treated," he drank, he got drunk, he gambled, he was murdered, in that place, and carried home and buried . in the family garden. This brief recital measures an immeasur able change in- that beautiful home, and covers a term of ten or twelve years. - "The morning - after : the broken hearted woman -had laid - her husband away, she and the two older girls had eaten a very scant breakfast; the f orced . economy, in order to meet baby, a girl of two years, had gotten your liquor claims; of the loss x)f .my out of bed and stood by the mother health; of other efforts to keep the and eaten her breakfast, saved in a wolf from the door; oL the times, I saucer, he had just devoured the have fled by night, with frightened entire -contents "of the sattcer, when children, from . a rum-crazed husband there was handed to the dazed, sleep- and father;, of a, cheerless health less woman a note from the bar- stone; of a bare table,, and the birth keener.

I herewith send a man to take charge of the premises, the keys, etc., and to represent me in all things. "This was unlooked-for news to the poor woman. "While the farm had gradually shrank , from twenty-six mules to one, and everything else had shriveled in like manner, she thought the fw fcraua nn mn. tents were hers. She had wept for the past few years, until she thought .. there was not a tear left to shed, ex- cept those burnine . blindme Qry tearsNleft to so many soul-anguished women. In this she was -mistaken, for , the contents of the note broke loose a fresh sack, which trickled to the saucer, as she rested her -ing head on her pa'trvs. Shfi had spoken only cried- hftd .iot re sented the contents of the internally avaricious note only cried.

' part " you played ''iri? my house - that ' night for While one physician ' attended hie an other, In an adjoining room stood over my poor drunken husband, who. was the victim of imaginary serpents, gorillas and devils. In reality he was only your victim. ' But you will find, it, sir, in the bottle of tears: I saw in the lightning's glare the storm ' as it toyed with the shade trees, I heard the rain dashing in fury against the windows; the room was jarred by angry thunder; I was for the first time in the throes of paturition. But louder than thunder to me were the groans and screams and oaths of my erstwhile noble and manly, but now fallen and cowardly, husband. "'You will find it all, sir, in the bottle of tears. I heard the low, strange cry the advent . cry of the baby; a" cry which' ordinarily fills a mother with joy, but which filled me with a new anguish, as I thought of such a fit beginning to a career des tined to be one of piercing shame. 1 at first prayed that we' all three might meet death in the storm, which now seemed to be urged forward by all the furies in , Pandemonium. Then I asked that the little one might live and win papa back to the path of sobriety, from which you, for gain, had led him. " 'The next morning he came and stood uneasily upon his feet, looked from bloated eyes upon us, stooped and kissed "me and baby. The peach came back to my. cheek; a girlish lustre kindled in my eye; -a wife's and mother's pride began to lay plans for life and home but they, were soon dashed and broken, for. before I was up from that bed he came home drunk again. . My sun went out in sudden, irretrievable midnight; my heavens, if heavens they could be called, became starless; I grew old; my heart petrified.- But sir, you will find it all, ami much, more, jn the bot tle of tearsi I need not tell you of the next few, sorrow-laden years, and the coming of the second girl; of the flight of luxury,', of the desertion of friends ; of the absence of yisitors ; of curtailing of expenses and en- squallor, to which Only a drunkard's home is familiar; of my, vain efforts to keep the children clothed and fed; of the deeper depths into whiph you pulled my now helpless husband. One night there, was such a pain at my heart that I cried out. It awoke Mary, who came to me and asked what the matter was. I told her that 1 was in so much -pain that I must be dying that she would hVfc to take mama's place fand Care for papa and little sisters that papa was a hopeless drunkard "anil that she would soon be the only bfau "Wiifher. You will find in the bottle of tears how we spent that night, Mary and I, . in praying . and planning;" how little Mapy took 'her seat at dawn, in the doorway, and watched for her papa's return; how, with the. rising of the sun, he; came staggering up the once flower-bOru'ered, ; now . weed-infested, road;how Mary ran down, thxeV'her ,irms aD0Ut ter father- and said O, papa! Our mamma came near to "death last night. She said I "would har to care for you and little sister, too. 'O . my ; sweet papa, you. won't drink any more, will you?' With an oath "which might become a demon. he -raised his strong arm aud slapped the'r.flild n. Wow that va-nt ,n rTio gravelled walk, and left her bleeding and; weepmg, while he -came on; to curse and beat me. . But you can read and rieht. to leava vmi ns ramA l of what these possessions have cost. -'Only three inorntogs ago, four of ypmr obedient henchmen .bore ay prscious husband home to mm at break of day and laid hixa iesH on the floor . and hurried back, I suppose, to the gambing table over , which your victim had just been shot. I vfound some friendly v negroes to dig the gravedin what I though was my gar denand we laid - him - .down under his favorite apple tree. I thought to put flowers there in thejsummer and shells in the winter and teach my girls of how noble he was before he fell Into your clutches. But it seems I buried him in your garden and un der your, apple tree! Indeed, he was laid on your floor. It Is marked with your victim's blood. After some kind colored friends helped me to shroud him, and while sitting up with his precious remains that night, I tried to wash out the stain of blood, think ing I could not bear to look at it and walk over it. But it turns out that it is your floor, on' which he who gave you his vast, property, his manhood, his family, his ' very soul, found . a cooling: board. You will find it all, sir; in the bottle of tears.: You order me to vacate, t; II l obeyi "When. L you read this I will ba. on. my"way..down the road, east.

And some peo ple .would" have jesteemed him., liberal, would" have called him charitable When he reveled in sixty-five housand dollars solen , from that woman and children, to .say nothing of the- trou ble he - had brought, the insults he had heaped upon them, together with the murder of his duped patron," and the damnation of his -soul. -After re lating the above incident in a Vir ginia town, a gentleman told me that he knew , this woman and her girls, and that they were being helped by a lodge to which the dead man had belonged. "But all of this is another reason for waging relentless war upon whis- rkey drinking and selling." ? THE RUMSELLER'S SIGN. I will paint you a sign, Rumseller, And hang it above your door A truer and better signboard Than you ever had before. I will paint with the skill of a mas ter, . And many will pause to see This wonderful piece of painting, So like the reality. I will paint yourself, Rumseller, As you wvait for the fair young boy, Just in the morn of manhood A mother's pride and j joy. ' '" He has no thought of stopping, But you greet "him "with a smile, . And you seem so blithe j and friendly That he pauses to chat a while. : I Will paint the form of the mother - -I will paint you as you stand1:, - With a foaming' glass of 'liquor. Holding with either hand,A rHe wavers, Abut . you urge him: " ' "Drink. Pledge ,me just , this one." And he lifts the glass . and drains it, And the; hellish work is done.' : ' , And next I will paint you a dfunkard. Only a year has flown, ' But into thi3 loathsome" creature ' , The fair young boy has grown. The;workwas quick and rapid; If will' paint him as he lies In a" torpid,"1 drunken slumber"" Under the wintry skies. I will paint the form of the mother -As she kneels at her darling's side, Her beautiful boy that was dearer , Than all the world beside. I will paint the shape of a coffin -Labelled with one word "Lost!" I will paint all this,. Rumseller; . And paint it free of cost.' The sin- and the shame and the sor row,- ' The crime and want and woe, That is born here ia your rumshop No hand can paint,- you know. But I'll pant you a sign, Rumseller, And many shall - pause to view " This wonderful swinging signboard, So terribly, fearfully rue. PRESENTED. WITH A NEW SUIT A graceful act on he part of an ap preciative congregation was the re cent presentation of a handsome suit of clothes -to Rev. W. F. Jones -by the members 'of the Newbegun M. E. Church. Mr. Jones had just closed a very' "successful revival meeting and while 'the 'event was unexpected he says that he has never, received-any thing that he appreciated more than the gift. The presentation was made by Messrs. A. J.- Jennings and Mack Stanley, oh behalf of the church n bership. TAR HEELS IN TEXAS. The editor is in receipt, of a letter from Mr. Daniel S. Hooker, of Ga:ves ton, Texas, who was in this city a fow weeks since.. Mr. Hooker i3 t. t?.r heel" to the manor born, and fee is s a interest in his native State which is anii 10 aevouon. we says, among other, matters that prominent - among the North Carolinians, in that great Southern city is Prof., Harry Ransom, who at one time was an instructor in the Academy (now the A. C. Institute) of this city.. , : Mr. Ransom was . very popular here' 'and Is remesibered by a large circle 'of friends. - He Is super- iatendekt of the graded scfaools of that Consolidated Schoolhouses And their Relation to Good ' - - Roads - - A Pen Picture of the Schoolhouse of the Future," When Goods Roads Shall .Have Been Ob tained. Every fair-minded man desires to give to his children and the children of his neighbors , better advantages than he himself enjoyed. And wher ever good roads make it possible, it is entirely feasible now to substitute for the little schoolhouse of one room and one v teacher a consolidated school- house with half a dozen rooms and half a dozen -teachers. The school house of one f oom .and", one teacher was good and we are here in"1 bodily presence to testify to' that good ; but the consolidated schoolhouse of half a dozen rooms and half a dozen teachers is vastly superior, and we want to se cure that for our children and " the "Children r of our ' neighbors. - '"" i r.It doesn't cost as "much '.to build -a schoolhouse of half a- dozen rooms. as it does to, .build, six schoolhO'ise. ,pt one, rQom. Six teachers working to gether 'can do vastly' better work "for the Children" "than one" single' teacher, teaching ' everything from the cradle to the Voting age."" The , salaries of the Ltjauiiyr ill iub tuusunuai.eu auiiwi- nousess'of half a dozen rooms are' no higher than" they' are' in "the single choolhoues with a single room. !'.'! ! How ' are the children brought .to this consolidated schoolhouse? They are carried in wagonettes, that in cold climates are heated by a , stove, and amply provided with laprobes to" keep the children "warm.: 'There is ,no fear of lack of ventilation, because eveo' wagonette in the world is amply ven tilated. The wagonettes take all the children within a radius 'of nine to ten miles every day to the schoolhouse, and . take them home again. Instead of having twenty, thirty, or forty children of different ages in one' school, so that the community spirit is an impossibility among them, because of the diversity of age and because of the difference of attainments, hun dreds of children can gather into this consolidated schoolhouse, and class spirit, community spirit, thrives and good teaching abounds. But what could you do with the con solidated schoolhouse in this State? In counties like Mecklenburg, Wake, Guilford, Forsyth, Durham and a few others where there are several miles of macadamized roads, this system would work well; but in a great ma jority of our counties, the wagonettes could not get two hundred yards down the road. It takes a two-footed beast, called a child, and a very active one at that," to get over the-roads at all to any school in most of our North Carolina coun ties during the winter season. Let us go a step further. The day is. coming, surely, when hot only will we have the consolidated schoolhouse, but also the principal of the school and his wife will live In the school building, or in one close by. The li brary and reading: room of the school will- be the library and reading room of the neighborhood." Aid' I know country: "people-too well not 'to know that :- many"' of them" are ! hungry for good literature - and cannot get it. This consolidated schoolhouse will be a lyceum where people will gather. There will be lectures, there will be even some "loafing" around the con solidated schoolhouse. Men will not go - to the country store to swap lies, will not go , to... the barroom that is, not all. the-time; they wll sometimes -come to the schoolhonseto" the read- ig room, the talking room and the lec ture room. s ' But when will we In North Carolina have consolidated schoolhouses ? Not until we have good roads. They talk about free text books ! I am .in favor of free text books, but I tell you here and stake my professional reputation on the statement, that free text books are a trifle compared with good roads and the consolidated schoolhouse. So that we cannot separate these twin sisters of civilization; cannot conceive of one without the other. Educate the people and they will build good roads; build good roads and the people will educate themselves. The two propositions are therefore merged into the one question, "Education-and Good Roads." - For "Monuments, Head stones, Jomb Tops, Iron .
