"Another pecnli&r thing about
the orphans, many of whom are
the toughest chaps to be found,
from tha time they peal off their
rags, and get a bath in one of
these sheltering homes, they be
come sacred beings. Work is not
to be thought of. They ca be
obtained only in homes where the
entire family is constantly sing
ing hyms and muttering prayers."
"Somebody sanfc us a marked
copy $jf a paper containing a vio
lent assault on the orphan homes
of the State, and we clip the
above to show the tenor of the
article. The paper is called the
"Carolina Watchman," and is
published at Salisbury with Wm.
H. Stewart's name as editor, at'
the top of the editorial column.
Further comments is entirely un
necessary. Charity and Children.
The colmens of The Watih
mnn are always open for articles
of information, a gentlemanly
criticism, or for. the correction of
any utterance that may need cor
rection. This baB been stated be
fore and still holds good. The
only other requirement, in ad
dition to the above, is that the
communication be accompained
by some real name known to ul
No doubt the nameless tale bearer,
who sent this copy of The Watch
man to Thomasville knew he was
acting in a similar manner to the
assasin who stabs his foe in the
back or fires from behind some
obstacle when the opportunity
will permit his identity being un
known. As a general thing North
Carolina editors refuse to be used
as cat's paws and have both sense
andjsharity enough to treat their
fellows with the considerati
they might wish jinjier-8lmilar
circumstajicesr-'It is of little con-
3ern to us, in this particular mat
ter, whether any one agrees with
our views on this subject or not,
and, we have no desire kto say
harsh things about any one who
disagrees with us, even when they
deliberatly make misleading state
ments concerning us. The article
in question was by no means in
tended as an assult upon the or
phan homes of the State, as any
one reading the entire article
must admit. So we submit the
quotation reproduced above was
not clipped for the purpose of
showing tenor of the article, but
merely an extract which exhibits
the view taken of it by some.
There must have been better or
worse portions in the article, or
elso our Quixotic defender would
have used his clipped a little
more freely. It seems to us, if we
were sailing under the banner of
Charity, even with a little c, we
could have found something dif
ferent to clip, if this paragraph
was so very distastetul. Jor in
stance, we devoted about four
colums in that issue to what a
great many intelligent people
considered a good sermon ny a
most excellent pastor. We are
persuaded, therefore, that possibly
something more creditable to the1
cause and to the editor-in question
could have been found, if not
elsewhere, even in the paper pub
lished here and "called The Caro
lina Watchman."
As to our attitude toward or
phanages, we do not take second
place to any one. We do not
think some of their policies and
methods of conduct are what they
ought to be, speaking as an out
sider, although, as stated in our
previous article they are doing a
"great and good work and we
would not willingly see it ham
pered." The paragraph quoted
in figurative language and is lit
erally true. At any rate it has
been our opinion for some time
that these institutions claim tha
the change inthe children ;s en
viron ments is considered bene
ficial, uplifting and a great help
socially, morally, physicallyand
intelleclually. If notjebydo they

ne oT the blanks
who apply for
lid at one of these homes. We
suppose all of them have similar
regulations, and judging by the
one before us, (We havn't space to
print it in full and will therefore
summarize.) The statement that
"work is not to be thought of,"
and "They can be obtained only
in homes," etc., is fully justified.
Not one time in this document is
the applicant bound to supply
food, raiment, shelter, or teach
he child any useful occupation,
in fact it implicitly states that
ohildren are not to be sent out as
servants, or (workers.) What
church do you attend, how far do
you live from church and school,
what is your pastor's name and
address, do you belong to a
church, etc., are the- leading and
essential questions in the blanks.
In this particular blank the first
condition is as follows :
'Applicants for children are
expected to b9 kind-hearted. Sab
bath-observing and church-gome?.
They must be in such financial
circum8tancesv and sustain such
social relations as to eivo tha
ohild good advantages and at least
a common school education;" ;
As to Mr. Johnson's sarcasm
and second-hand indignation, its
noise is heard in the distance, the
regular thud of the engine
comes nearer and nearer, we im
agine the oder of gasoline in the
air, we feel sure a horseless car
riage is approaching, we stop, we
isten; we look and lo we are uf?
deceived: . A lons-eared beaBt
draweth a cart. "For if a man
think himself to be something.
when he is nothing, he deceiveth
himself."
The farmers really interested in
keeping pace with the times will
find much "of interest in the meet
ing to be held here at 2 o'clock,
Saturday. C. R. Hudson, Bpecial
agent of the U. S. Department of
Agreculture, will be present and
an effort will be made to show
wherein 50 bushels of corn or 1
bale of cotton can be raised on
each acre cultivated according to
the methods adopted"" by the de
partment and many of the most
successful farmsrs throughout the
country. All that is asked is for
the farmers to be present and, if
inclined, co-operate with the de
partment in the effoit.
