There may be a difference in the availibity or solubility, just as there are differ ences in the digestibility of food.

Marion, Dispatch, 18th. At the home of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Lucy Bird, 6 miles south of here, today, Charlie Morria shot and in stantly killed Mrs. Bird and his own 2-year-old child and then walked about half a mile and shot himself, dying in about thirty minutes. The Morrises have been married about three years, separating several month.? ago, but had been living to gether again for four weeks. 1 Yester day Mrs. Morris wanted to go and spend the night with her mother, who was sick and who lived about a mile from their home. Her husband objected at first, then aaid she could go, but that she must not take the child. Mrs. Morris finally persuaded him to let her take the child and left her husband in apparently good humor. This morning Morris appeared at the Bird home and seeing his wife first, without Baying a word, knock ed her down and fired two or three shots from his pistol at her. Leaving her as he supposed dead, he went into his mother-in-law's room, fired five shots into her body, killing her in stantly, then picked up the child, who was the only one in the room with its grandmother, carried it into an adjoining room, laid it on the floor and fired three shots, each bullet go ing entirely through the child's body and into the floor. Morria then, after reloading his pistol walked down the public road in the direction of his own home. When he had gone about half the dis tance between the Bird home and his own, he met two men in a buggy. He said to the men that everything he owned now belonged to his uncle, stepped a few feet away, took the pis tol out of his pocket and before the men realized his intentions, shot him self one time through the head, dying in thirty minutes without regaining consciousness. When Morris knocked his wife down and shot at her, he, of coarse, thought she was dead, but none of the shots took effect. Mrs. Morris, however, was stunned by the blow on head. As soon as she recovered she ran for assistance, realizing at once that her husband intended to kill her mother and child, but before she could find any one he had finished his work and gone away. Mr. Bird was not at home at the time. . All parties are prominent and well-to-do, Morris being a nephew of Clerk of the Superior Court Thomas Morris of this place. No cause other than jealousy of his wife's people is known lor tne act. Mrs. Morris is prostrated. PITIFUL CASE OF I HIGH PRICES.

Correspondence of the M. & I. , . 1 do not believe it Is good policy to tell oatsidera about tbe defects of our town. It is just as unwise to tell our neighbors and friends about tbe things that are wrong in our own family as it is to tell the people of our neighboring towns and states the things that are wrong about the town we live in. But you have started it; you have insisted that those connected with the Wide Awake Wadesboro Club shall tell the public why the club is not do ing something. !. You have Insisted that it shall be told. You have in sisted that you are losi ng faith in my self as a worker. ; Mr. Boylin, you shall have the in formation you ask for in a few days It can't be told in a sentence or par agraph. But you shall have the in formation and you and the public must recolleect it has not been my wish to go into publicity, telling our neighbors why we are not . doing things as rapidly as some of your en terprising young men , want things done. ; .',. , , Some outsiders are harping about our bad streets and roads. They don't have to come here. We don't com pel! any one to use the sidewalks and streets except our own. Bad roads and streets indicate business, they In dicate the hauling of cotton, corn and fertilizers to make more cotton 'and corn, liven toe ereai - maser 01 worlds did not make this one. In one day. - It costs money to do things. Our people have not been " able to do all the things at once that they want to do. They have done very well. Water works, not only a great con Venience but as a protection from con flagration. The wisdom of having this protection is . self-evident, as all fires have been subdued without any great damage. It has saved thou sands of dollars, not only in property but in cheap insurance, saving more mony in this way than the cost of the enterprise. Then comes the electric lights. Each person who has to travel the streets after night will admit that our people and hundreds oi visitors are greatly benefited. Hundreds of happy children attest the usefulness of our graded school. We have been liberal in that respect. Don't you think it is better to have it this way, even if the tots wade through the mud to get there.' What is now lacking is good streets and sidewalks.. The men who have to pay the taxes cou Id not afford to do all at one time. Fire protection and gra ded schools, ample lights, were of more importance than macadamized streets and paved sidewalks. But today the men who pay the taxes begin to see the time when more can be spent and you will find a majority, if not all, of the best men who opposed the spending a great deal on the streets, are now willing to spend the necessary money. -But they want you to give them tha inrorma tion, Mr. Editor, or get it for them, and as you are so apt and so persist ent in finding out from the Wide Awake Club why it is not bustling, why it is not bringing business to the merchants ana employment to tne workers, wont you find out from the town commissioners and report: First, how' far will f 10,000 go to wards paving sidewalks and fixing the streets in a permanent way. Second, is it to be done by contract or by day labor. Third, is it to be done in cement, brick, crushed stone, gravel or what. We want accurate and detailed in formation on the subject. I have no right to casta vote in the election, but perhaps, may have some influence on someone or more per sons who do have the right. One thing certain 1 will have to pay about as much of the taxes on the bond issue as any one else, and, as a tax payer, I want to ask these .questions, and if satisfactorily answered you will find a large majority of tbe vote cast in favor ot good streets. But if no in-, formation ts given on this subject you had just as well call the election off right now. Our people want infor mation reliable information. It is told around in a quiet way, I am reliably informed, that influence is being used on- the working people and merchants mat they ought to vote for this measure because the lar ger part of the $30,000, 110,000 from city and 120,000 from property own era wiltvgo to the laborers and they, in turn, will spend a great part with the merchants, is this statement ex actly right? I admit its truthfulness. I know the money will go to the la boring people and merchant.--But if the streets are not really Improving, 11 we can get aiong witn them as they are, shall the money be pulled out of the pockets of a few men who pay the bulk of tbe taxes and give to the working people and merchants just because they are to be benefited? "Give me your money because lyou have more than I have, and I have the power to make you give." That's your argument nut is it a fair one does might make rieht? - Recognizing the Tight , of the peo ple to ask for information, I shall write you fully in a few days about the Wide Awake dub so far as I know. If the information may not be pleasant, to you, recollect you are tne one wno nas insisted time and again that a statement should be giv en to tne people, in turn please tell us how the streets are to be improved by the city officials if we ctve them $10,000 of public money and the right to compel a few property owners to turn over to them $20,000. Respectfully, . John. T. Patrick. Correspondence of the M. & I. ' There ia no cause without, effect. Why such a hue and cry about Jiigh prleeB? ; What can Congress do to remedy the causes, unless thera be a combination in restraint of trade? It appears to as so simple that even! "Buck" Newton would be able to answer the question why prices are high. ' " ' ' y ; '. One of the greatest causes Is that consumption is running ahead of pro duction. We live in an age of prodi galitytoo many leaks In the house- hoki of nearly every family; too much wasted that might be consumed. It will take a famine to prove this to a great many. There are more consu mers than producers. Too many of the rural population have moved to the towns and are producing nothing but idleness. Farmers, can you see nothing In this for your betterment? This ia your day, If you will wisely use it. You are Just coming Into your own, if you are not foolhardy and refuse to see It. Everything high Is what you should want, fend it Is the unwise ones who must suffer if suffering there be. "Quit buying and go to selling" has been my advice to you for jears. You want a good price for all articles you have to sell, and If yon quit sell ing and go to buying you ought and, should be made to pay lor your folly. You have It In your power to com mand the situation. If you- will use your power, you can so manage as to defeat the very thing you have been Binving ior so long ana that la now at your door prosperity. Will you use it or throw It away? is tha burn Ing question. : Directly after the war the farmers of the South had their greatest oppor tunity, and . some few, like the la mented Haynle, embraced the oppor tunity witn wnat results every one who is at all observant knowB. Will you embrace this one now presented or will you throw it away as did your fathers? May the fates preserve you from it. Raise your corn, meat, tno- lasses, Duicer, cnicKens, and an sup plies for man and beast that are need ed to run your farms. Then make all the cotton you can, and the cotton win oe yours, uut 11 you still per sist In the suicidal policy of owing your cotton to the other fellow and buying your supplies whom have you to blame but yourselves? Your banding together, simply, will not save you. Resolves not car ried into effect will not be worth the paper written on. " Why raise a big crop of cotton for the . other fellow simply to lower the price to you? Can you see any wisdom in this? God has blessed you with the great est land under the sun, and has given you a heritage no other land enjoys. When you can' produce in abundance everything needed " for ! yourself and everything dependent upon you, why longer throw away your heritage and persist in building up other eections that are rioting in luxury through your mistakes? The wise man said "My people doth not consider". Let me, as your friend,; beseech you to begin now to consider the advantages you have and how rightly to use thera. 1 . It is true there is money In the South, but. as a rule, It is not lu the hands of those who made it, but is in the keeping of such f as do not tbauk you for your sacrifices the want of wisdom caused you to make. You should raise ' more stock. ; To keep up the fertility of your soils, ro tate your lands, sow down to leguml such exorbitant prices for fertility you get from the guano magnate. You can grow it so much cheaper than thew will sell It to you. Where la the wisdom in making 15,000,000 bales of cotton when 10, 000,000 bales will bring you mora money? Why buy guano to make this extra 5,000,000? You are throw ing away the money necssary to make tt, and your labor besides. Quit working entirely for tbe other fellow and begin to plan and work for your selves. It will make all the differ ence. So thinks Little Brown Creek. SAW CHILD BLOWN INTO BAY. Graresend Bay dispatch, 13th. When Mrs. Amelia March, looking through a window of. tbe Benson hurst Yacht Club, saw her daughter her Madeline, 11 years old, blown by a gust of wind from the lauding stage into Gravesend Bay today, the lady fainted. As she lay beside tbe window, un conscious, her little . daughter fought and lost a battle Lfor life in the water. When Mrs. March recovered con sciousness, about 15 minutes later, bag of oranges floating in the bay simply tohl of the tragedy that had followed Madeline's trip to a neigh boring grocery. With frenzied strength Mrs. March dashed to the pier and cried for help. She searched the bay with eager eyes for a trace of her daughter, but the oranges alone marked the spot where the girl sank. To these she directed two sailors from nearby yachts, both of whom hurried to her aid. After an hour's dragging they succeeded In recover ing the body. Dr. Green, of the Co ney Island Hospital responded to a hurry call, and the four worked over tbe unconscious form of Madeline for an hour without success. 7 I, V...-." ...... I III r ' .

It. has been well and truly said that "the pen is mightier than the sword," and tbe saying applies even more for cibly to the human tongue, which was much In evidence and had wrought a world of good and evil of blessing and cursing many cycles ere pen and Ink were known. It Is the tongue of the eloquent orator and enthusiast that has, In all ages, incit ed men to deeds of wondrous daring and heroism; it Is tbe tongue, too, of fiery marplots and demagogues that has led to the most disastrous upheav als In the world's history. But we need not betake ourselves to the chronicles of old to form an Idea of Its power for weal or woe, or to find traces of the ruin it has caused. We have all the evidence we want at our very doors. Who among us, with even a very limited experience, can be Ignorant of tbe havoc wrought by the vile tongue of the slanderer of the fair reputations It has blighted, the promising careers it has blasted, the brilliant prospects it has ruined? ilow many happy homes it has wrecked and the loving hearts it has torn anart and crushed beneath its merciless Iron heel. The simple lie, which hurts only the liar himself. Is bad enough, for "lying lips are abomination" not only "to the Lord," but to everyl decent man and woman as well. The charge of untruthfulness it one which even tbe child resents with all Its might. He may stand a great deal of banter ing, but if he has a spark of self- respect in bis make-up there is one taunt which his young spirit will not brook. Call him a liar, and he Is up lu arms at once. Thera Is something so indescriDamy mean aoout lying that the varlest stripling seems to fee It Instinctively from the moment he begins to reason. But If simple ly Ing is bad, the two-edged sword of slander, which wounds both accuser and accused, Is immeasureably worse worse, In some respect, than theft or murder. For it Is the theft and murder of that which people of hon or and spirit prize far more highly than money, or even life Itself. In tbe category of crime there are few acts to compare, In baseness and mal Ice. with deliberate, cold-blooded calumny. The Founder of Christian ity was exceptionally lenient with most classes of sinners, but the elan derer formed an exception to the general rule. In fact, almost the only Instances of His Indulgence in bitter Invective are His references to the 11 belous Pharisees, who were constant ly misrepresenting Himself and His work. Perhaps one of the strongest chap ters in all literature Is St, James' In dlctment of the unbridled tongue. Tbe writer evidently felt deeper- on the subject and knew from experience the truth of the words he penned: "Behold how small a ere kinaietn a great wood! And the tongue Is a fire a world ,of Iniquity be ng set on fire by hell." Man has succeeded In tamirg all sorts of beasts and birds, but there is one little force which still remains untamed and un subdued the venomous tongue, a restless evil, full of deadly poison. In the matter of libel, as in most other things, destruction Is easier than con struction. It Is easier to pull down and destroy a reputation than It is to build it up again. And yet build It up again the destroyer must, lf be would square himself with justice. There is no alternative. No amount of money will compensate for the loss of one's good name.
