At one time the opinion prevailed that only the young men were fitted to do the best work, physical or men tal. Some recent achievements, how ever. ha.ve rendered a revision of that belief necessary. One of the most notable was the discovery of the NorQ Pole by Commander Peary, who is three years past the half-cen tury mark. His toll and his sufferings must Jiavc b<jen su<*ti as to daunt the 1 '??mHml )h'iii4. "Commander Peary's achievement tas exploded the 'too old at 40' bub ble." the manager of a famous engi neering flrm told a representative of the London Mail. '"It has been my experience that mechanical engineer*, so long as they keep in good health, art? much better and more useful workers at 50 than are young men of 2o. S "In our employ we have many en gineers doing hard manual work ?whose ages are between Co and 70. They are thoroughly experienced workmen, who do not make mistaken, like younger mea. "Of course, with consulting engi neers f1;eir value, increases as they get older, provided, of course, they retain their health and mental pow ers." The manager of a big business paid that In his opinion a man was fitted for mental work from the age should have acquired sufficient ex perience to superintend his juniors, and be a valuable asset to his employ ers." he said. . An experienced physician said that the average man was the Attest, men tally and physically, between the ?fe9 of n.*? and 4 5. ^"Ry that age a man should thor oughly understand himself ? not only bis mind, but his body," he said. "He knows, or should know, how to diet himself, how to keep an even level Of good health and w'ell being With a sound constitution a man/an re* tsin his vigor and menial- powers un til he is 6i or TO." ? These words are cheering to those who have crossed the line and who *ee the evening shadows begin to lengthen Rl'ftAI. SCHOOIX ' Charlotte Observer. ? . The people of ilie rural school d i > 'rfr-ts or North Carolina are surely I awakening to the Imporv/tnce of edti-| cation and to tlie ii^ccfsliy of im t.os:ng burdens by way of taxation i V?n the property ow?er? in order that their children may he ^5ven the prop-'j fr opportunities to # artpiire good I ? omnoirschoo! educations. This fart ! is evidenced by the following we find In the Spring Hope l.eader: "The j Taylor and Philadelphia school dis trict, Griffins, township, voted local j tnx for the support of schools last i Saturday. The levy will b<* 30 rents on lyoperty and DO cents on the poll, j At the HIliiardHton school in Griffins, there will be an election aoon. every freeholder except one having petition- j c-d for the election. In rastalia town- | Fhip two petitions are being cireulat- 1 ed and there is no doubt but that eler- ! t ons will be held and carried for bet- ' t?r schools." If there over was a "lime when ihe charge could he j brought a^inst Xf.rth C-irolina that Its people were backward in reroR- j tiizing the importance of general edu- 1 cation such a rhs-ge ran stand no| longer. AVlTV COST OF i.ivixc; i4h high.' (News and Observer.) Every Rome feels the burden of high prices. There is to be a Con- ; gressional Inquiry as to the reason of the increased cost of living. It It j la to be a Cancon and Aid rich affair, J 0 ? started to prife . an alibi for %\he ? trusts and the high tariff, as is gen- j erally supposed. It , will be useful , only to heffr ^publican "speIl.-blnderB *** M?UD lo tbe,r Tbe trusts, enriched by the tart*. d#wn wy !? ?????? of iNfyttlaf th?7 tela to Mil. Everything follow*. Destroy the trust a. withdraw the artificial sup port of tb? tariff oT favoritism. and normal conditions will prevail where thero will be m natural and accessary adjustment of Income with the cost of living. tToo many, people have left the country and moved to town, thus reducing the- number of people, who produce what men eat and Increasing the uumber of consumers of what la made on the farm. That is one cause. The higher prices of meat and bread should luduce a return to the farm by many who* are merely exiting In tho towns. There is need and demand of many more producers on the farms, and the higher prices must have the result of making the cry "Back to the FarmB" heeded by thousands now herded In the over crowded cities. But this is aot the only reason, for the price charged the iown man and the price received by the farmer do not justify the high prices which prevail. The trusts get the cream, the farmer the milk. <he laborer the akimmed milk under present conditions. Senator Bristow, Republican, of Kansas, elected against tho reaction ists of the Republican party in his State, ditrueses this vital matter in terestingly. He says railroads a^iS 1lie beef trust make meat high, and high tariff helps * along the high I prices. He scys it in the combina tions between the railroads and the beef trusts which run the prices of good juicy beef steaks up to 30 and 35 cents per pound and roll up the Immoral profits of the Armour beef combination to 35 per cent during the last year on some $20,000,000 of watered stock. He added: "Take beef raised in western Kan sas. It is shipped from the^grass country to be fattended on corn; then the cattle go to Kansas City for slaughter and the carcasses come back to western Kansas dresstd for consumption. This makes four trips by rail, two eastward and two west ward. All of these railroad trips go into the cost of the retail beef." M HIT Is \KKHKI> IX oi l!

Collier's Is right aad there is ^o portion or the fruitful South more wide awake or abounding In more opportunities than Eastern North Carolina. JAPAN DECLINES Latest advices indicate that both Japan and Russia have declined to accede to Secretary Knox's proposal for the neutrality of the Manchurlan railways. While the text of the for mer's reply has not been made pybllc.! It is understood thab^ Japan has de clined the ^proposal on, the ground, that its adoption would offer no ad vantages to either Itself or China, and would not change the commercial situation in Manchuria, where Japan adhering strictly to its pledges of nu open door and equal opportunity. Iu the reply to Socrctary Knox's note, delivered to Ambassador Rockhill on yesterday, the Russian government declines the proposal*for the neutral ization of existing railroads, and adds that it regards the alternative propo sition for Its participation In an In ternational syndicate for the con struction of the Cblnchow-Aigun line as acceptable in principle, though it defers a final answer- pending the re ceipt of more complete information. News comes from Pekin of the ap proval by the Chinese government of the preliminary agreement for the construction of this road with capi tal provided by a group of American financiers. XKiHT RIDERS AGAIN ACTIVE. T.ptopviiie. Tenn.. Jart."7Tf^CSTW? K. \\\ Sparks, a clo?c fi of Judge Hhrrts. and who has kept in close touch with the Reel Foot Lake trou bles, says the night riders have been active, agiin' on the lake bluffs. He | says he has it from good authority I that it was a band of night riders who recently posted the notices on Bud rick's fish dock at Samburg and that there is no doubt but that axtenojve "riding" will be done as soon as the weather permits, as the band is fully oVgansted. WHY DID MARY 0k.U8HT The Bithop Merely Reproved Her for a Bit of Duplicity. An elderly bishop, a bachelor, who was very fastidious about his toilet, was especially fond of his bath, and requested particular care of his tub from the maid. When about to leave town one day ne gave EirUt unlets to the housa*. maid about his "bawtbtub" and said that no one was to be allowed to use It Alas! the temptation grew on the pooY girl and she took a plunge. The bishop returned unexpectedly, snd finding traces of the recent stolen/ bath, questioned the maid so closoy that she had to conftioB she was ?ne culprit, and was very sorry. ' "I hope you do not think It Is a sin, bisbop?" ssked Mary in tesrs. Eyeing her closely, he safd: "Mary, ?our using my tub is not a sin, but what distresses me most Is that you Would do anything behind cy back that you would not do before my face." ? Her Ambition. "Why, If It ain't Lucy Simmons!" exclaimed one Richmond negresa not long ago, on encountering a friend In the street. "Whar on earth has yo' !been?" 'Ta bc^n workin' hard," was the answer. ! "Now dat 1 thinks of It," continued | the first darky, "see:na to me I did I hear of you' workin' night an' day. J What's de matter?" "It's Jes' dis way." explained the [ second negres*.

A certain Venerable citizen o ? 4 Pennsylvania city enlertalna no high esteem for his eldest daughter's musi cal abilities. There being a guest one evening, the old gentleman was, to his dis . gust, compelled to spend an entire j evening In the "parlor" whilst his daughter accomplished her whole rep ertolre for tbe ediilcotlon of the | stranger. "Ah," said the latter, turfilng to th* old man when one select'on had been achieved, "there are some songs that will never a'e!" "You're right," growled the old man. "My daughter puts in a good deal ol her time trying to kill 'em, but una vallingly; sfr, unavalllngly!" Preach the Truth.
