AFRICA THE PLACE FOR THEM
Red-Haired Men Can Endure Tropi
cal Heat And Fever Passes
Them By.
“Red-haired men can endure trop
ical heat and malaria better than
theif dark-complexioned brethren/’
says Sir Alfred Jones, an English
man who is a large employer of la
bor in West Africa, and so firmly is
he convincedof the superiority of men
with red hair and blue eyes that he
always chooses those who have,that
coloring for employment on the gold
coast.
“They stand the climate much bet
ter,” he asserts. “Their skins tfei
properly and throw out the impuri
ties of the blood and they do not gel
morbid. They are much more cheer
ful, and do not become gloomy like
men..of sallow, complexion. If two
men came to me for employment, suti
their qualifications were reasonably
equal, I would unhesitatingly choose
the man with red hear and blue eyes.
[ have had more than 40 years, experi
ence of West Africa, and I am abso
lutely convinced that the red-headed
man is the best to nave.
“It is not entirely a question of fe
ver, though I have repeatedly found
that they do not get that so badly as
their dark-haired fellows. The man
with the red hair does not suffer
from the climate nearly so much as
do men of the ordinary complexion,
and that is a very important point
in hot countries.” >
Another Englishman, who calls Af
rica home, corroborates this opinion.
He says:
“Red-headed men despite the many
opinions to the contrary, stand hot
climates far better than dark-haired
men. I can not say why it is—I am
not a doctor—but I have seen it a
gain and again. On the coast they are
more energetic, they make more cheer
ful companions, and they seem to
keep their brains alert and active un
der conditions which make men of
other complexions dull and despon
dent.
“A red-headed man has a fortune
in his coloring,” a London physi
cian says in discussing the question,
“if he goes to the malarial parts of
the world. There is something in
the blood of red-headed people which
makes them almost totally immune
from malaria. The mosquitoes bite
them, but the poison imparted into
their blood simply dies, and beyond
the temporary inconvenience caused
by the Irritationnothing happens.
"When a boy is teased by his
schoolmates because he has red hair
he wishes he had been given some
other coloring, but if he only knew it
the red hairof his is a tremendously
valuable asset, especially if he makes
up his mind to exploit it in a district
like West Africa.
“Friends of mine who have been on
the gold coast tell me that out there
it is a matter of common knowledge
that the dark-haired men die off, or
get invalided home, while the red
haired stay there and rise to the toy
of the tree. They keep their health
and their mental enegy unimpaired.
“Red-haired men are not very pop
ular in hot, fever-stricken countries
on that account. The others know
that they are an almost insuperable
bar to the progress of those not so
favored by nature. They seem to
keep their vitality and strength when
get fever and drift into melancholia
the dark-complexion lose energy,
and valetudinarianism."
Cotton Yard Receipts.
The receipts at the cotton yard
for the month of October were 2,
378 against 2,899 for same month
last year. The receipts for the two
months of the cotton year have
been 3,650 bales against 3,277 for sam
period last year.
Success of the Ku K!u^.
Comparing the members of the Ku
Xlux Klan in the South in Reconstruc
Lion Days to the American colo
aista who attacked the British at Con
cord and. Lexington at the beginning
of the war to throw of the king’s
voke Colonel John C. Reed, in the
November number of Uncle Remus
—The Home Magazine, contributes an
interesting article concerning election
in South Carolina immediate'7 after
the Civil War.
Colonel Reed was a leader in the
Ku Klux Klan In Georgia, and of
the influence of the Klan he says:
“The Ku Klux Klan revolution bene
ficientl7 turned the Nation ba:k to
its right course. Success justifies rev
olution. Surely the success of this
revolution in such high cause settles
forever that the Klan was, in its
motive and career, both morally and
expediently right The gross exaggera
tion of the number of homicides and
so-called outrages by the Ku Klux can
be disposed of in one truth telling
sentence: No other great revolution
of force in history wa3 less bloody
and cruel/1
—It is proposed in the future
in all the smaller towns in the in
terior of the Island of Cuba, where
the work of the postoffice will per
mit to combine the offices of post
master and telegraphist and to make
applicants for these positions pass
an examination in telegraphy before
receiving their appointments.
—It should be humiliating for Eng
lishmen to reflect that it was left
an American, the late Francis James
Child to compile the five thick vol
uraes of “English and Scottish Pop
ular Ballads,” which are familiar t<
all students of this subject.

Never a Flirt.
The Southern girl of the ante-bellui>
period—the rose of the old regime—
Was a heart’s delight. She was never
a flirt. There is a difference between
flirt and coquette—the kind of differ
ence there is between a dainty hum
ming; bird, making a dainty pretence
of kissing a jasamine—and a cat play
ing with a mouse. Coquetry with the
Southern girl of that bygoae day was
the unconscious challenge of feipinine
woman accustomed to homage. It
never verged on coarseness or cruelty
never lost .her the man’s esteem
which remained to her after the hot
whirl of the senses had subsided un
der the cool surprise of her look.
No, the Southern girl *was no flirt.
She was sentimental, it was her swe<
est charm—the drop of dew in the
heart of a rose, keeping it fresh for
ever. Her sentiment was not sickly
The girl who cherished a dead flowei
her lover had given her, would bind
up his wounds on a bloody battlefield
I or ride through a storm of bullets t<
I warn him of danger—or cook his din
1 ner and iron his shirt when he waf
1 her husband and had lost his patrl
mony and beaten his sword in a plov
I share. They were capable of dying
I with broken hearts—those girls, bu
1 dying with unlowered colors. Mary 1

SAYINGS OF MRS. SOLOMON.
i Being the Confessions of the Sevei
! Hundredth Wife and Translated
by Helen Roland For the
Washington Herald.
Search thy heart, oh, my daughtei
when thou contemplates* matrimony:
yea ask thyself not only "can I get
this man?” but "Can I stand him?’
These questions put unto thyself,
that thou mayest not go into mar
rlage as Into a game of blind man’s
buff.
Doth thy throat choke up so tight
ly that it paineth thee when thou
fceareat his ring at the doorbell?
Dost thou believe all he teHeth
thee, absolutely—even when thou
knowest him to be lying?
Is whatsoever he doeth perfectly al
right—even when it is wrong withal
Wouldst thou give up flirting and
the curling of thy hair; woulJst thou
forego thy corsets and tho powder
upon thy nose should he require it?
Yea, wouldst thou adopt common
sense shoes and become a vegetar
ian or a Buddhist for his s^ke?
Couldst thou love him in a ready
made suit and a soiled collar—even
though he smoked a pipe ai.d lost
a is front hair?
Fon verily, verily I say unto you,
sach and all of these things are
ikely to happen.
Now, let no woman marry a man
with whom she would not be deliri*
>usly happy in the Sahara desert—
rea, even in a dugout with canned
>acon for luncheon.
ror the woman who marryeth for
convenience discovered that there is
no convenience in marriage, even
from the sharing of the chiffonier
drawers and the clothes brush to the
entertaining of her relatives in law.
Yea, and the woman who marryeth
for money selleth herself, but the'
woman who marryeth for love know
oth not that she is sold. And she
goeth cheap. Selah!

Thomas Clock Co., guarantee to place
i satisfactory time piece in the town
iall to run within a variation of 30
econds per month for 5 years for
he sum of $600. Mayor Jones has
5 iOO of the neces3arf amount at the
present time and will endeavor to se
cure the balance after the clock is

The clock will be installed the
first part of January and will be op
erated on 60 days trial.
For years Tanboro has been in need
of a public timepiece and all residents
will welcome the time when the long
looked for clock is installed. It is a
necessary adjunct to every progressiv

SENATOR ALDRICH.
Thousands will gladly hear the
news that Senator Aldrich will
not be a candidate for re-election
four years hence. Perhaps his age
begins to tell on him; perhaps he
reads the signs of the times aright.
If so, he must know that the day
has passed when a Senator in such
conspicuous relations with some
of the greatest business interests i
can remain peacefully and com i
fortably in Washington. It is the
presence of Senator Aldrich and
Speaker Cannon as party leaders <
which makes it so hard for Mr. ■
Roosevelt to convince everybody j
that his is a reformed republican ]
party. It is but half reformed; it
is a house divided against itself, •
with a process oi elimination going i
on which a few years hence may \
have really separated the party s
from its Siamese twin, the protect- ^
ed interests. It is a comforting re \
flection for every one who wishes *
to see business and politics kept \
at a safe distance from one another ]
that this process of regeneration <
will go on.—New York Evening \

WHERE FAIR WOMAN RULES. ,
In Froissy, a French village,
many of the public offices are held c
by women. Five impoitant posts c
in that place of 533 inhabitants i
are filled by members of the weak
er sex. Mme. Dauboin, the post t
woman, has a hereditary title to t
her distinction. ]
“Aiy father was postmaster for ]
25 years and died two months be- (
fore he was entitled to his retir- \
insr pension,” she told a reporter. <
“The administration allowed my i
mother to take his place. She held i
it for nine years, when she became j
too old for the work, and for the ’
last three years I have been post- ]
woman. I have three mails a day
to distribute.” 1
It is true that Froissy has no ;
very great use for telegrams; never
tbeless, Mme. Lesobre, the telegra
pher, has occasionally to walk
eight miles to deliver a dispatch,
as Froissy is the telepraph center :
for all the neighboring villages. ,
The village barber is Miss Jean
ne Marchandin, who succeeded her
father. And the 68 year old town
crior, Miss Marie Druhon-Mail
lard, has also a hereditary right to
her office. Her grandfather and
her father preceded her, and when
her father died, at the age of 83,
she naturally took his place.
The station agent, Mme. Taille
fer, has presided ov^r the little
railroad station for 11 years. Her
husband, who is a train conductor
finds himself under her orders
when his train reaches Froissy.
Etymological.
When one sits lonely on a log
Ann talks, 'tls called a monologue.
If there ’were two folks by a log
They’d call their talk a dialogue;
Yet no one’s known
To call a ’phone,
As it should be a wire’ogue,
Nor Is a feline spatalogue,
Referred to as a catalogue.
The sailors when they check a log,
Ne’en call the thing a deckalogue,
Wherefore be it my ipilogue
To finish up this dippylogue,
And say our etymology
Is no more certain than a flea.

PETRIFICATION ON A HUGE SCALE.
What is probably the largest ex
ample of petrification has recently
come to attention in Arizona. It
consists of the trank of a tree,
with branch stubs still intact,
which has fallen across the head of
a considerable canycn and there
“turned to stone.”
The huge roots of the fallen mon
arch rise to a height of eight or
ten feet at one end, while the up
per .extremity of the trunk is
buried in the solf formation of the
land in which it grew. The trunk
is more that fifty feet long, and
spans a canyon at least forty feet
wide. It forms a perfectly solid
bridge of a diameter of fiom five
feet, to two at the smallest end.
Trees of considerable size have
?rown up around it from the bed
)f the canyon, some of them con
siderably higher now than the fal
en tree is long. Over the trunk of
ihe petrified mouster they throw a
veleombe shade to the birds
ivhichgether for miles around to
lit on the stony trunk during the
leat of the day.
This tree is a considi rable dist
mce from the Arizon i petrified
“orest and is one of the wonders of
he great desert State. It is con
idered quite probable by miners
rho have seen the tree that its in
erior portions are practically
igate, as are those of other petri
Led trees of Arizona, but no one
ias been yenturesome enough to
iut into the great, natural, paleon
ological bridge to find out.—

COMPLIMENT NORTH CAROLINA SOLDIERS
Hon. Curtis Guild, Jr., Govern,
r of the Commonwealth of Massa
husctts, in writing to General Orr
inder date of October 22d, says:
“it may interest you to know
hat as General Fitzhugh’s inspec
or general during the Spanish war
had under my eyes the first
forth Carolina Volunteer Infantry
Colonel Armfield. They arrived for
he most part hopelessly ignorant
if military works, but were such
natural born soldiers that when
re entered Havana Gen. Chaffee
nistook them for regulars and
vould not believe that they had
lad but eight months’ service.”
This is high tribute to Carolina’s
latural barn scrappers.—Durham

CHAMPION LONG WORDS.
A question raised as to the long
cat sentence ever written has led
to a search for the longest word.
The houors in English appear to
rest-between “antidisestablish
mentarianism” and “honorificabi
litudinity,” the former word
scoring 28 letters and 10 syllables,
as against 22 letters and 11 sylla
bles in the latter. Two other words
—“disintellectualization” and “in
circumscriptibleness”—may be
commended to policemen in search
of fresh tests of sobriety. These
words, are, of course, easily sur
passed even In English by “iso
metriemonitronamidobenzonphty
lamides,” and other germs ol
scientific phraseology, while in
German are found innumerable in
stances of thirteen syllabe words,
such as “Suelpaardelooszonderspo
orwegpetroolyting,” the Dutch foi
motor car.—Baltimore Sun*

Kidney trouble haa
become so prevalent
that it is not uncom
mon for a child to be
born afflicted with
—: weak kidneys. If the
child urinates too often, iftheunne scalds
the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an
lge when it should be able to control the
passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wet
ting, depend upon it, the cause of the diffi
culty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of
the kidneys and bladder and not to a
habit as most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made miser
able with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.
