Some Comments on Probable Revival of Thriving Business Conditions. Three men, each in a position "vhich made , his opiuion worth listening to, were asked this week what was their judgment regard ing trade revival. The first, the head of a banking house with large Western connections, repli ed: "Nothing seems to be doing here, but ad our Western clients are jubilant over the industrisl recovery." The second, a dry goods merchant, answered: "The year's trade is over, and we shall see dull times until 1909 has be gun, Then things ought to , pick up." The third an officer of a bank with important commercial con nections throughout the country, had this to say: "There is a slow and steady recuperation going on. There will be no boom, and there should "be no setback. Business men have lost heavily, and are making it up only gradually by selling at very low prices; but they are paying off their obliga- tioi b with remarkable readiness, and ace not discouraged." In one or another of these ver dicts, most readers of this column will probably find th At own expe rience duplicated. It is true now as it waB during the brief spells of enthusiasm in July and February, that actual figures are e till these of after-panic depression. Last Weduesday the monthly report of the iron production was pub lished. It showed an AuguBt out put of 29 per cent, above the low level of January, but 46 per cent, the night was dark, and the other below August, 1907, and 89 ptr ships of thi fleet, which were hove cent, below the same month in to at the time, were witnesses of 1905.

In spite of the popular impres sion to the contrary ships remote from the land are seldom damaged by lightning, although some of the most awe-inspiring displays of at mospheric electricity are frequent ly witnesued by those on board of them. - Standing rigging, and even parts of the running gear, are now made of steel wire, and this substitute for the old-fashioned hemp serves the purpose of lightning conduct or when tho ship is not fitted with such an aid to safety.

Very serious causualities under this head occurred to warships and merchant vessels in the days of wooden hulls and hempen rigging. In July ,1802, as 13 ships of the East, India Company were trying to round the Cape in the vicinitv of Algoa bay, homeward bound, two of them, the Britania and the Bombay Castle, were struck by lightning, The fore mast of each was soon enveloped in flames, and the ma3ts had to be cut away in order to save the ships and th-dr combustible car goes.

For thirtyV years ' Benjamin Landis, who livesin a modest lit tle home with his mrther two miles outside of this town, has not conversed with friends or rel atives because, it m reported, he was jilted by a girl whom he loved devoutly when a youth. More than thirty years ago "Ben" Landis wooed Miss Fannie Gingerich, who was then the belle of the country-side, and who mar ried Henry Snavely. Landis, who was then eighteen years oldn tried to forget and went West to seek the excitement of a mining camp or life on a ranch. For sev eral years he lived near Kansas City, bub finally returned to his mother, near Middletown. The flame had not died, but be was a far different "Ben" Landis than the oue'who went away a few years, berore. Relatives declare that he "became queer while in the West," but neighbors and friends say "it was the girl." It was at this time in his life that he took the vow never again to speak to any one, and he has lived up to his resolution unflinchingly for thirty years. Today the girl whom Landis wooed is a widow, her husband having been killed on a railroad sixteen years ago. She lives with her parents very near the Landis home, but "Ben" Landis never talks to her. Middletou, N. Y., dispatch. Farmers Are Busy. As the forms for this issue are being made up Governor Glenn is making a political speech in the court house.

Monroe Enquirer. the A Possible Explanation. Judge Peeble has come in for a good many raps for having direct ed a nol p?os in a case in Cherokee county wherein the defendants were indicted for disturbing reli gious exercises in interrupting the proceedings of a Sunday school, He held that a Sunday school meeting is not a religious exercise. The Rowan County Sunday School Association took a fall out of him Wednesday. The disposition of a case in one of the extreme west ern counties some years ago may or may not afford a predecent for his honor's ruling. A preacher who may be called Brown was conducting a meeting which was disturbed by a party of rowdies. They were indicted and tried under the ' statute on this sub ject and though the proof of the disturbannce was complete the jurypromptlykbrought m a ver dict of Lot guilty. Capt. Jim Gudger, the solicitor, was aston ished, as was everybody else, and afterwards asked of the jurors what in the world they meant by bringing in that verdict- The answer was tnat the jury did not believe old Brown could con duct a religious meeting. Judge Peebles' ruling may or may not have depended upon the su perintendent of the Cherokee Sun day school.
