of painting a ready roofing every

Shingles are expensive, but they
are actually cheaper during ten
years than a ready roofing which
needs frequent painting to keep it
free from leaks.
Amatite roofing costs less than
half as much as shingles and does
not need painting either. It is
easier to lay and will give years of
long hard service without any care.
Amatite has a real mineral sur

painting. Once laid on your roof

Amatite is easier to lay than ever
this year. The liquid cement for
the laps does not require heating
before use. A three-inch smooth
margin is left at the edge of the
sheet so that the laps will be tight
fitting and easily cemented. The
large headed nails which we fur

Origin of Moving Pictures.
Chicago Tribune.
The beginning of moving pic
tures was in this wise: Sir John
Herschel after dinner in 1826
asked his friend Charles Bab-
bage, how he would show both
sides of a shilling at once. Bab-
bage replied by taking a shilling
from his pocket and holding it to
a mirror.
This did not satisfy Sir John,
who sat the shilling spinning up
on the dinner table, at the same
time pointing out that if the eye
is placed on a level with the ro
tating coin both sides can be seen
at once.Babbage was so struck by
the experiment that the next day
he described it to a friend, Dr.
Litton, who immediately made a
working model.
On one side of a desk was
drawn a bird, on the other side
an empty bird cage: when the
card was revolved cn a silk
thread the bird appeared to be
in the cage. This model showed
the persistence of vision which
all moving pictures depend for
their effect. The eye retains the
image of the object seen for a
fraction of a second after the ob
ject has been removed. This
model was aphed the thaumo-trope.
Next came the zoetrope, or
wheel of life. A cylinder was
perforated with a series of slots
and within the sylinders was
placed a band of drawings of
dancing men. On the apparatus
being slowly rotated the figures
seen through the slots appeared
to be in motion. The first sys
tematic photographs of men and
animals taken at regular inter
vals were made by Muybridge in
1877.
The Simmons of Ten Years Ago
and Now.
Red Buck, in Charlotte Observer.
Ten years ago, when Senator
Simmons drove out the Republi
cans and Populists, united under
one banner for pelf and pie, the
average North Carolinian who
did not know him dismissed him
as a political wire-puller, ana a
nimcompoop, unfit for anything
else than to manage a red shirt
campaign against Southern Re
publicans and their allies, which
were composed of a horde of illit- his control

near future, through the Sea

Of No Use to Anybody.

We still have one or two men
in this community who stand
around on the street corners
from morning until night com
plaining about the town, their
neighbors, their taxes and the
weather. Such men are mighty
common clay and it is fortunate
we have so few of them. Such
men are of no use to the town,
their families or their God. They
seem to live but no one can tell
how. Like mosquitoes and flies,

best. Keen insight, daring cour
age and combativeness are his
greatest assets. He convinces
the onlooker that he has convi&
tions and pluck. Standing in the
open, every day in the week, he
is ready to be counted. The fence
does not apppeal to him, nor will
he take refuge on it in time of
distress. There used to be, and
I believe there is yet, something
in the Tar Heel blood that made
a man admire the fellow who
fights for what he thinks is right
and does not retreat under hre.
In the campaigns of 1898 and
1900, when a real general was
needed, Simmons was in the sad
die, to which he had been elevat
ed by crying Democrats. At that
time many called him a bluffer
but his bitterest enemy would
not apply that term to him now.
He is anything but a blutier,
The scrapping spirit is in his
bones.
Newspaper men who did not
know that his name was on the
list of Senators have become in
terested in Mr. Simmons and
whatever he says is considered
good copy. The briliant Bailey
compels attention, and so does
the ruffled, original Tillman, and,
now and evermore, the fighting
Simmons.

Popular Election of Senators.
Charlotte Observer.
The advocates of election of
United States Senators by direct
vote of the people have gained
greater headway than many peo
ple are aware. The change in
the manner of electing Senators
will have to be done by an
amendment to the Federal consti-
ution. One mode of making
such amendment is by a general
convention called by Congress on
the petition of the Legislatures
of two-thirds of the States. The
legislatures of twenty-six States
have already sent such petitions
to Congress. If only five more
do likewise the thirty-one would
constitute two-thirds of the forty-
six States of the union and Con
gress would be compelled to call
the convention to draft such con
stitutional amendment. The
States which have already peti
tioned through resolutions adopt
ed by their Legislatures for the
calling oi sucn convention are
Arkansas, California, Colorado,
Idaho, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa,
Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri,
Montana, Nebraska, North Caro
lina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Penn
sylvania. South Dakota, Tennes
see, Texas, Utah, Washington,
Wisconsin and Wyoming.
It will be noticed that most of
the States which have gone on
record as favoring such amend'
ment lie in the central West and
Northwest. Seven of them,
counting Missouri, are Southern
atates, .while there is only one
from the Northeastern section.
While the advocates of popular
election of Senators have made
this much progress toward at
taining their object they have
also, of course, evaded the con
stitution by primary instructions
they would not be certain of
success even were the legisla
tures of four more States to pe
tition congress to call a conven
tion and such body to be convok
ed, for after assembling it might
not see fit to adopt such an
amendment.

Government Dredge Near Ches
ter Brings Up Silver,
Chester. Pa., Correspondent Baltimore Sun, 23.
Silver was found yesterday by
the crew of the Government boat
Cataract, which has been work
ing near Fort Mifflin, midway be
tween this city and Philadelphia,
in an endeavor to raise the con
tents of the supposed English
treasure boat, which was sunk
during the Revolutionary War at
that point. The pumps used on
the Cataract have brought up
helmets and other valuable equip
ments, but in most instances it
has been found that the gold
which adorned the shoulder
straps and the sleeves of the uni
forms of the English soldiers had
disappeared.
The dredger Hell Gate will be
sent to Fort Mifflin to raise the
sunken beat. It is believed the
hold of the vessel contains many
thousand dollars in gold, sent to
this country to pay off the British
soldiers.
