Two of the counties that have been, cursed with whiskey stills stuck abut' in the caves and near t he creeks, are Wilkes and Yad kin .

Some days ago this paperf printed some facts showing the remarkable .pro gress in public-schools and rural libraries in Wilkes county, o day we are taking the liberty of making an extract from, a private letter written the editor of this paper by a leading citizen in Yadkin county: "I thought perhaps you would be personally interested to know of the educational and moral pro gress in Yadkin, Bince, in my judgment as we'l as others, no county in the state presents more striking changes foV the. better along educational' awakening within the last eight years than Yadkin county.

No man can read the above brief statement without being thankful that the school-houses are taking the place of the stills. News acd Observer. A Word For the Overworked Cow. Dr. Evans, the Chicago health commissioner, is quoted as saying that God did not make cows to supply milk for human beings; that the original intention was for the cow to only furnish enough nourishment for the calf, and that man took a hand in the matter and by much feeding and much milking she has been forced to gradually increase her supply of milk so it may be use . for human needs. This unnatural forcing process has lowered her power of resisting disease and the modern cow is particularly susceptible to tuberculosis. The doctor appears to be of the same opinion as the lady ranchman in Texas who ex plained to her visitors that the absence of milk on the . table was due to it being out of season. The cows gave milk for a few months of the year and dried up, and then the milk season closed. The dairy press of the country is almost unanimous in their view that it is almost time for Dr. Evans to dry up. Exchange.

THOUSANDS CHEER WRIGHTS, Time After Tine Orlvlile Wright Encircles Fort Mjer Drill SroBflds ia tils Aeroplane. Wa8hingtohnly'i;--Calmcou-fident and ueverless,OrvilleWright late to-day encircled theFort Mey er drill grounds time after time in hiB aeroplane in three success f uj flights while a crowd of thous ands cheered him for the success that attended his persistency and pluck. While ,th9 machine oscill ated at certain points in its flights and dipped and roBe suddenly at other doints, it was evident fro m the regularity with which these things happened that they were due "tooths condition " of the at mosphere and not to any fault of the machine. For the first fight the machine got away with a fine start, Down the field the aeroplane sailed, curved gracefully and came back up the east side of the field along the edge of Arlington Cemetery The machine seemed to be behav ing beautifully. The first round was made in fiity seconds. Five times the machine skirted the field attaining a height which varried from 15 to 30 feet.. On the sixth round Mr. Wright came to earth within a few hun dred feet of the starting point, completing the flight" in exactly five minutes. The landing was perfect, . the machine swooping down in successive glides until within a few feet of the earth, when'Qrville pulled the ' string which stops his motor and the aeroplane glided smoothly over the grass on its skids until itcame to a scop. ,;i ne machine wasjre turned to the aiartinapjparatus a ad agaiu wai-plaped lEL-pTpsitron and -another flight Jwas esssayed, !Tie start was as auccessf ul vaatha first lHeohtivili uiitutf-uiuc a -wilier turn? - auUx rose totr a 7 greatetehwghtYWHbttr Wr ighi-watcned'Svefytailtsf the flight with care. It was noticed that at times the motor skipped, but this seemed to have no effect on the progress of the aeroplane. The starting rai runs downward into a little hoi low in the field and whenever the aeroplane plane passed over this hollow it dipped noticeably and wheuever it passed over a vacant space between two of the stables, it was seen to rise as though on a billow of air, but these atmos pheric conditions were easily over come by manipulation of the leavers. Ou his second flight, Orville made nine rounds of the field in a few seconds less than eight minutes. In his last attempt he remained aloft for a few sesontls more than nine minutes;. nd encircled the field niue ancf one. half times. For one complete round he flew very close to th a ground , evidently pre paring to land. This he did with in two hundred feet of the aero plane shed. During this last flight he went higher than on his pre vious trials, reaching a height of forty feet. Just before making hiB landing the left wing scraped rhe ground and raised a cloud of dust, but Mr. Wright continued to fly half way around the field before descending.

She was not particularly ambiti ous for a career or a calling. She did not know that she was down trodden, or realize her ignomini ous servitude to a false assump tion of superiority on the part of the unfair sex. She" found the homage and chivalry of mankind delighted, and took it at its face value. Nor did she trouble her self about the potential recon struction of the family on a new basis of relationship. . She was not struggling to be recogniied as man's equeal, for she found it tac itly admitted on all sides that she was man's superior. She felt a deep and rational delight in vari ous concerns and enterprises, but these were not of such a nature as to call for the sacrifice of her first and nearest interest, which were material and domestic.
