Neglect of Aged Parents.
The following appears as a com
munication in the Lexington Dis
patch and is signed '"A Mother."
Read it, it may touch some chord
in your heart and make it vibrate
to sweeter music :
"This is a subject to which I
have long felt should be placed
before the public. It is a fact
that there are some sadly neglect
ed aged parents. With some of
these I have had the opportunity
of personal acquaintance. I re
call especially two widowed moth
ers each beyond eighty years of
age. Both of these have always
been good and kind. One of them
I have known all my life. Well
do I remember the sacrifices she
made while bringing up her fami
ly in order to educate them and
place them in good society. Alas,
it seems that all this is forgotten.
Mother has become so childish
and troublesome that one does not
know what to do with her. lu
stead of allowing her to remain m
her old home where her heart is,
she must be changed from place
to place through so many weeks,
whether agreeable to her or not.
Sad to say her absence is preferred
to her presence ; her departure is
hailed with joy. The following
remark is frequently heard : "It
is not fair for me to have all the
D1UUUJB Willi! I1UJT. OUXJUO UllliUXeiJ
who show such ingratitude are
members of the church and stand
well in society. Is it in harmony
with the Christian religion so to
treat aged and helpless parents
who are starving for our love "and
sympathy? J suspect that at the
very moment these dependent pa
rents realize that they have lost a
home in the hearts of the dear
ones they so fondly nourished and
cheerished, they receive their
death-stroke. Soon the mind ba
gins to wander; the infirmities of
age tell sadly on thebody; and
then ungrateful children desire to
have them out of the way. Such
conduct drives them sadly to the
grave before they have lived out
the natural course of life. Are
there not many ways in which
murder is committed? And is not
this one way? Some such have
been cared for in the county home,
because they were not wanted else
where, and they have come to suf
fer such bitter pangs caused by un
grateful children. "Sharper than
a serpent's tooth it is to have a
thankless child."
Hero of Fort Fisher Dead.
Col. William Lamb, aged 73,
soldier,, lawyer, editor, merchant
and politician, died here to-day.
He was best known as the "Hero
of Fort Fisher" in the Confederate
war, when during a siege of three
days he held the fort near Wil
mington, N. C, with 1,900 men
against the attack of 10,000 Fed
eral troops on land and '600
guns on water, Butler and Porter
losing more men that Lamb had.
'He had been mayor of Norfolk
and held many other offices of
honor in thiB city and State. He
was a delegate to several Demo
cratic presidential conventions,
stumped Virginia for Blaine and
Logan, was nominated as an elec
tor at large on the Harrison and
Morton ticket in 1888, and subse
quently declined the Republican
gubernatorial nomination, becomr
ing Republican State chairman. -Colonel
Lamb was at Charles
town, W. Va.. in 1859, ith the
"Woodis Rifles" during the trial
and execution of John Brown.
His funeral wilf take place at old
St. Paul's church here to-morrow.

Whaj is a Gentleman.
During th Cooper trial in Nash
ville, Teun. frequent reference
I
was made by the attorneys for the
defence, to the fact their clients
were gentlemen. This has led the
Danville, V4 , Bee to thus expat:
ate on the meaning of the word
"gentlemanf :
"In England the term is given
a specific orjtechnical meaning as
applicable tf those of noble birth,
but even there manv men have
been broad enough to assert the
right of others than those favored
by circumstances of birth to this
term. As far back as Geoffrey
Chaucer character a ad conduct
were regarded as the true basis
for ascribingthe term gentleman.
and Tennyson, England's loved
laureate, himself elevated to the
peerage by his queen for his mer
its as man land literaturer, de
clared that "pind hearts are more
than coroners and simple faith
than Normafi blood." And yet
there are, thole in this democratic
country wherp rank is not recog
nized and titles of nobility are
forbidden, who show a tendency
at times to regard the acci
dent of birth fcr the fortuitous in
nentance oi successtui acquire
ment of wealth as being the crite
rion of the gebtleman. The term
is too good and useful a one to
be abused, and yet if the definition
of Thackery, that prince of En-
glish novelists? and a culturei and
kindly gentleman himself, is to be
accepted, how few of us in this
day and generation can sustain
the claim witbnustice. Thackery
says, ana we CDmmena nis aenni
tion to all:
"What is it Ito be a gentleman?
9.
It is to have lofty aims, to lead a
pure life, to kejep your honor vir
gin ; to have the esteem of ycur
fellow citizens, and the love of
your fireside; jto suffer 9vi I with
consistancy ; and through good or
evil to maintain truth always
Show me the Ihappy man whose
life exhibits th qualities and him
we will salute as gentleman,
whatever his raink may be."

A Lesson on Holding Cotton.
A certain Cabarrus county farm
er thiB week brought in his crop of
cotton from the season of 1907,
consisting of fourteen bales. On
Jan. 21. 1908, he was offered
twelve and three-quarter cents
per pound, but refusbd to sell, be
ing advised to hold for an advance
in the market.
After holding his cotton for over
a year hi marketed this week, at
nine and one-half cents, Bustain
ing a loss of seventeen and one
half dollars per bale, or a total
loss of two hundred and forty-five
dollars.
W e doubt very mnch whether
this particular 'individual i an be
induced to hold cotton in years to
come, and there are many in
stances w here such losses have oc
curred through the endeavor to
force up the price of the staple.
It would mean much more for
the cotton belt section to have
marketed at once the entire crop
when the money could be put into
circulation, and debts paid, mak
ing it far more easy for all concern
ed. Yet we seetfarmers willing to
tieuptheirseasons work, allowing
their bills to remain unpaid, em
barrassing those who have extend
ed them favors, keeping the mon
ey out of circulation, and perhaps
jelling at a loss at some future
date. Real Estate Record,

A failing tiny nerve no longer

directed straight for the cause of
