The town of We.dou, just across the Roanoke from No thacupton. appears to be putting on new I fe and can no longer be dt signated the Rip Van Winkle of Nortu Carolina towns. Less than a doz en years ago it was generally be lieved by peopiy living outside of Weldon that the town had re mained about the same for fifty years We hae often heard people say that Weidou wis tin ished when it was named that the name Weldon vviis only a con traction of the wordsvWell done" au exclamation made many years ago when the town was built and aamed, and that no addition or improvements had been made to it since that day. A visit to Weldon now would disabuse the mind of anyone who is of the opinion that the town is not improving. It is now making rapid strides forward and is the coming town of Eas tern North Carolina. We know of to other town or vicinity in North Carolina having a brighter future. The Roanoke News, an excel lent weekly published at Weldon, is not given to boasting and its picture of Weldon's future is not overdj-awn. In its issue of April 20 the News says: Has Weldon a great future? This question is easily answer ed, when we count up the various enterprises recently put into op eration here and others of great er magnitude, to follow in the near future. We are satisfied that some will say, 4Oh, we have beard all this before." But before passing judgment, kind friends, allow us to sum up and tiien see if our former pre lictions are no' being fulfilled to the letter. A few years ago the first spade o f d i r t tas-4hro w n, by Mr. f. A C ark, in the development of the great Water pover here. What has happened since? The largos and finest corn mill in the South has been erected with a daily ca pacity of 2000 bushels of meal Next followed din oil mill, ship ping its products to various States. Then came the round bale cotton ginnery, .the first of the kind to be operated in North Carolina. A short time ago a splendid flouring mill, with a dai ly capacity of 75 barrels a day, .vas added to the other -enterprises here. Now turn .to our suburban town at Chockayotte where the largest winery in the South is situated, making thousands of gallons of the finest wines on the market and travelling eleven men in all the States of the union from Maine to Texas, and often ship ping as much as 3000 gallons per day. . Then look at our -sister town, Roanoke Rapids, with its great cotton mills all in calling dis tance of Weldon; and say, if you can, that "no changes have taken place in Weldon in the pas't fifty years," as "Bill Arp" did wheu became here and partook of our hospitality and then shamefully slandered us by using the above expression. We next see right here in Wei don a large knitting mill, now be ing pushed to completion by the Weldon Cotton Manufacturing ComDany. The mill wi I employ 125 hands and will be in full blast by the coming fall. It is stated on good authority, that or.e of the largest electric plants in this country isto be erected by a syndicate of capital ists at the locks of the canal of i he Weldon v ate r power. This plant wili be prepared to furnish ight for lightiug cities and towns Aiihin a radius of a huudrtd iniles or more and will also fur nish power for various manfact uring enterprises. The water they use will serve a double pur pose. It will be turned back into the canal and co oi i flowing on to Weldon to turn the big wheels ol the various manufacturing enter prises here and now to be erect ed i i tue near future. Rumor has it also that Hon. Don Cameron, of Pennsylvania, who is already largely interested in the various enterprises ber will at an early day purchase west Weldon and erect several ueWmauu fact u ring enterprises and erect a good many new cot tages. - Mus! of our readers in Halifax c-junly - are familiar' wi'h west Weidou. These lands are beauti fully situated about a mile and a half west of Weldoa and they have been surveyed and laid off in lots, these lots are owned by Weldon people and some others who live at a distance. Mr. Cam eron proposes to buy the entire plot as laid out and build it up. Tnis will give us a greater Wei dou with a population of lully five thousand in the next year or two. - We are not trying to boom Wei don, but are dimply presenting plain, cold facts as they come to us from reliable sources. Our School For The Deaf and Dumb. It was our privilege recently to pay a visit to the School for the Deaf and Dumb at Morgan ton. We are greatlydeiighted that this class of unfortunate children is so well provided for. Superin tendent "Goo i win has been in charge from the very beginning aud his efficiency is proven by his eing retained in his position by different administrations. He has surrounded himself with a corpse of competent teachers, and the children are making grat ifying progress. One thinks bet tar of his State after having look ed upon an institution like this The main building is a splendid structure, in a commanding posi tion, overlooking the beautiful town, and a sweep of vision stretches before you that is lim ited only by the blending of mountain and sky. - A new school ouilding is now approaching com pletion, agmirably adapted to the purpose for which it was design ed. Every room in the building is a corner room, which furnish es light from twcr directions, and are twenty rooms in all. This may sound"snaky," but it is lit -eraliy true nevertheless. There are about two hundred pupils in attendance. We always leave this delightful place grateful for two things. First, that we have so worthy and useful an institu tion, and in the second place that Mr. Goodwin and his excellent wife are at the head of it Char ity and Children. The Secret of True Hap piness. "Happiness comes through quiet acceptance of the talent temperment and task that God hath appointed: Unabie to add one cubit to thj stature, or make one hair white or black, man is also impotent to altar his birth gifts " writes the Rev Dr. Newell D wight Hiliis, pastor of Ply mouth Civurcb, Brooklin, on "The Se crets of a Happy Life,,' in the May Ladies' Home Journal "Through hereditary our fathers chose the life work for us, and try as we may we cannot alter their choice, though we can breik our hearts. Today one part of society is 'making itself misera ble through an overestimate of great deeds and ar. agonizing de sire to do striking things. Yet struggling and agonizing never did anything worth while. The first, sign of a great peace of work is the ease and swiftness wiib which it was done by him ap pointed for the task. Another part of society destroys happ ness by underestimating small deeds and duties. God's noun tains are not madeof huge chunks of grauite. but out of minub flakes of mica Size has nothing to do with the valued work, and man cannot be happy until he surrenders his will and cherfuliy accepts the one talent, or two, or ten, counting in honor enough to do his appointed work more per fectly than any other can possibly do it. We do not need great at.d splendid things, but that com mon things shall be lifted up and illuniuated by ajquiet and beauti. ful spirit One of the secrets of happiness is found in the habitual emphasis of pleasant things and the "eraistent casting aside of all malign elements. THE UEGHO AID HIS FUTURE- Must Exchew Politics and Devote Ills EuergrieM to Acquiring Iu telllge co and Ioperty The futun?of ihiM to nu i still a question of discussion. Recent occurrences in North Ca 'na, Georgia and other South ern States has brought, the ques tion very prominently before, the public. The Houstor (Texas) Post .in a recent leading editorial discusses the matter as follows If the negro race were Jortu natd . enough to possess two or three representative! like Book er T. Washington in each of the Southern States, the race prob lem would not only . joon cease to exist but the negro population would soon occupy a com for table,, hopeful and' respectable, if not indeed, enviable position in this country. ' ' Prof. Washington has been urg ing -his race to turn its attention from politics to industrial f.ur suits; to acquire skill in the trades and occupations, accumulate prop erty, educate and refine itself and thn trust to natural conditions to give it such standing as it may be entitled to. In a recent letter he goes further and tells his peo ple that if they must particinate in politics they should ask them selves whether it is not right, as well as good policy, to support the interests and sentiment of the dominant "white elements in the South? , In this letter quoted Tuesday's Post, Prof. Washing tonjamong other things says:, "If there any reason why the negroes in the South should con tinue to oppose the Southern white man in his' politics? Is this not the source of jiearly all our troubles? Unconsciously we seem to have gotten the idea into our blood and bones that w.j- are only acting in a manly way when we oppose Southern white men with our votes. ; "I believe that Governor John ston of Alabama is just as good a friend to the black man as Hon. William Youngblosof Alabama Hon. William Youngblood has about 400 white followers in Ala bama. Why should we follow Mr. Youngblood with his 400 whitefol owers rather than Gov ernor Joseph J. Johnston wiih his 500 000 followers when no principle is at stake? "Why is it that the negro in Cuba has surpassed us in settling his race problem? Is it not be cause the negro in Cuba, has made the white man's interest his owu? "In some way, by some raeth-od.-we must bring the race to the point where it will cease to feel that the only way for it to succeed is to oppose everything suggested or put forth by the Southern white men. This Icon sider one of our real problem i-. " Something like this view was recently advanced in an address at Cincinnati by Bishop Vincent of the Methodist Episcopal church, said to be a true friend of lfhe negro race, and was after wards presented to the New York Mail and Express in a com munication which that papercom mented on editorially. The pro position made was that "the hope of the Soithem colored man is not in the Republic-an party, nor in any other party; it is not in the North; nof it is in the intelligent and right minded white man of the South." The rabid Mail and Express-sees in such propositions only "the admission that emanci pation Lad been fruitless, that the constitutional amendments were null and void and negro suf ferage a hopeless failure!" - It is by such senseless clap trap that the false friends of the n gro, those who would use htm ouly for political pun-oses. keep him in a kind of political and so cial bondage from which his own broad minded leaders like Booker T. Washington would free him. Think of the New York Mail and Express as opposing Prof. Wash ington in adcice to the negro! That the race has followed the f ilse rather than the trnef riends, is the cause of its unfortunate condition today. If the negro will take the noted Tuskegee educator's advice and eschew - politics until he has be come a property holder and a skilled laborer at dan in'eliigen UXyr Wrsg Vov7u2D Makes the food more delicious end whofesoma om BMCmQ man. he will find himself so id en tified in interests with the domi nant political element n the Sou th thai he will ueed no special in vi Ution to vote with the white ma jority. So long, however, as h- continues to threaten Southern interests und the domiuatiou ol the intelligent propery owning whites" of the South, he can hojx only for poetical ostracism and . hostility that will seriously im pede his material and mental pro gress. Prof. Washington would do his race an inestimable ad van tage if he would continue to im press upon it the suggestions contained in the letter just noted It is such men as he who must enlighten, elevate and lead the negro, at last , and not the politi ciansof any party." - . The Inner Guidance. Is this not the entire secret, namely, on all doubtful occasions. on all subjects whatsoever, to pause, observe, listen, then move forward again, cooperating with theprompting that has come, fol lowing the guiding wisdom? If so, spends all your energy here Quicken your moral sense that you may be alive to the right in minutest detail. Try to feel the harmonious tendency in every emotion, in every sensation com ing from the physical worldT Sharpen your intellect that it may discover the finest structure of ideas. Repose in watchful rev erie until your consciousness re veals the next step in personal evolution. If the train of thought breaks and 1 you lose touch with its beauty write for the word you lost the idea that escaped, that which joins with the last word you wrote, the last deed you per formed. Only through this ex quisite touch of thought shall the vast world of beauty about us be known. Each must be poet, mu sician, philosopher,' artisan, in his " special sphere. Vicarious oneness with God is utterly im possible. The harmonious soul shall be made so only. at home. It is futil to lean upon others. It is of little avail to speculate For the harmony of the universe is divine, and is truly known through divine revelation All that God asks of us is that we shall cultivate all our senses neg lecting neither mind nor heart body nor soul. Then forth thiough our instruments shall stream the poetic strains of his eternally progressing beauty, the heart shall know it is as love, the mind as truth, the conscience as goodness, and through this per feet trinity. from out life's dark est mystery the meaning shall be called. H. W. Dresser, in The Arena . . , - .. Some Good Council. "There is not much use, in this world of woe, to sweat and worry, and stew and fuss about what peo pie say concerning you In the first place you shonld ask your self the question: "Is my biH of health clean?" If you are all right and your conscience tells you so go on the way you are goicg. If you can by the reason God gave you. justify your ac tion & and you r deed s, care not what any one says concerning you. In all homes and in society there are skeletons in some clos et and their bones will rattle at fome times. The man never yet lived, who was on eartn, who had not some fault viewed thro some other man's glasses. Do thebistJyou can; try to be decent; be of good cheer put your faith in God and in yourself and you'll be winner every time. If you fal ter, if you sit down to view the troops of jealously and envy and hatred which may pass before you you are wasting time you are Hallowing the devil to tempt you.

But we have somewhat against President McKinley at this stage of our war record. He seems .to have been caught in the whirl pool of political intrigue and has not bad the manhood to stand up to what seemed to be his con vie -tions at first- Why does the war continue? For what purpose are our armies slaughtering the it habitants of the Philippine islands These people, whom our armies are slaughtering daily, had no more to do with the blowing up of the "Maine" or Spanish op pression in Cuba than did the few scattered Indians in Western North Carolina And yet our na tional Administration somehow seems to favor it and is doing nothing to have it stopped. We remark; and we do it delib erately, that in our opinion this war has been a disgrace to our nation from . the first until now. and shame upon the Administra tion that the inhuman slaughter does not cease. The Common wealth. The Manna of The Bible In a recent number of La Na ture there is an interesting note by M Henry Castrey on the man na of the desen, which played such an important part in the his tory of the Jews. At the present day Arabs who are compelled to traverse the sandy desert wastes of Arabia not only feed their cam els upon this, little known food, but also consume it themselves. Tne "c:anna" is really a fungus. the thallophyte, either Canona es. culenta or Lichen esculen tus. The fungus is very abundant and is found upon the sand after mv- ery rain, sometimes in grea' mounds or heaps. It is of a gray color and is about the size of a pea, and it breaks with a mealy fracture, and the taste is rather agreeable and somewhat sweet When eaten it acts as a laxative. and the anaWsis shows that the fungus has the following com po sition: Per cent. 'Water 16 .Nitrogeneous matter 14 N6nnitrogeneous matter 29 Carbohydrates 32 Fat 4 Mineral matter 5 This analysis demonstrates the tact that the manna, while not a complete food in the strict sense of the term, is still rich in cer tain kinds of food material and it is -capable of sustaining life for a time.
