'Maugham* one of Washington's ?"*" "^leading-eitlstens, yesterday. Is but an other instance of the uncertainty of life and the certainty of deatl}> No death in the community in yrars has curried with it a greater shock to his friends and neighbors, Up to just before his death he seemed to bo in his usual health. lie was a man that was felt in Ills community, being among the .city's ' ntost- proKHWjUTrc-aiitt' cnprgeHe men He loved his town aiux always was the first to stand m the forefront for the city's nilvnncemenr and progress. ? Tte 5s an example of wliai push ami energy can accomplish. He was a devoted father and husband. He was blessed with many of this world's goods, yet. notwithstanding this, it did not deter hint from toiling assid lously. The News doubts if there was a man in the city that worked harder. Nothing kept him from his Accustomed pursuits. He was a man of untiring energy and what he has accumulated is the result of hard toil. H^ enjoyed the confidence and es teem of his business competitors and they all respected him for his worth and business acumen. His going has cast a halo of gloom over the com munity. He will b*? missed. A use ful citizen has fallen on sleep. Jl'DGK SHKHHKKD. The news pf the death of Judge James E. Shepherd will carry with It sorrow all over Beaufort county, for It was in this section he was best ] known. In Washington he spent the flower of his manhood and paved the way for the useful life he enjoyed in after years. t While a resident of Washington he enjoyed the confidence of Its citizens irrespective of party affiliations. As a lawyer no man In North Carolina held a more enviable place. He was worthy to occupy any position in that high profession. The positions of ? trust committed unto him were occu pied with dignity and learning. At the time of his death he was easily the head of h's profession and was noted not only In North Carolina, but the nation, as a lawyer of learning. His untimely end is to be deployed. He was at the zenith of his useful ness ar.d bid fair to climb many more rungs in the ladder of fame. AX KRA OF IIIC; Ml M.S. ? Charlotte News.) The record made by North Caro- 1 Una in new mill construetian work ? during the past few years Is one al together creditable. For over two! years North Carolina has led the list of States In m.ll building and mill | Improvement work. It is roughly e?- 1 timated that upwards uf 820.00fi.000i was Invested in new mill properties in | the South during the past year, and | from the manner In which big mills i are being chartered almost daily, it *1 would appear that iMrt is to fstab-l llfh a record w h ! f ? h will compare fav- 1 orable v^'h last year's ronu'd.

Time "wns vTifch' RfosT of tttt> South ern mills manufactured principally] coarse goods, which commanded , small values. Result was a slight <Je- ! rangement In markets for this class' of goods was felt by the entire Indus- ! t try of the South. During the past - year more has been done to diversify manufacture than during many ears preceding. Numerous mills have given up manufacture of coarse goods and are now devoting atten tlon to fine goods, and other mills are contemolatlng such change. Blether elcourailD* feature c?n n?ct*4 with the lBdoatry la the grad ual tendency to bo 114 large mills. In yaar* put tk? tTtrtc* mill wu equipped with ten or fifteea thou Mad spindles and was considered a bit mill. TodayBoaUera manufac turers *re competing with the world pnd the rapid growth of their busl Iness has demanded enlarged facili ties ; the result !?? that th? big mill of today Is equipped with from fifty to I ono hundred thousand or more spin dles. NuraeiauB 50.000 spindle mills have recenaly been established and others are under conteifiplatlon. There are some eight or ten mills' in the South today with over 100.000 j spindles. Numerous others have j equipment of 100,000 and many oth ers represent a splndleage of 60,000 or more. All of which goes to prove that cot ton milling, like other industries of the South, is grooving at a very rapid rate. THE CARDINAL ON THE TARIFF Cardinal Gibbons has not joined the meat boycott. He Is reported to have made such a statement to the Atlanta correspondent of the Savan nah News the othter day, when he wag notify through MarthtfBville on his way to New Orleans. "I would not have to go very far to do It," 9ald the cardinal. "I eat very little pieat and tajte regular exercise." The cardinal, however, has aWery clear idea of what has caused the present high cost of living, and he puts hlsj finger right on the spot when he said: "1 think the tariff has a great deal to do with the increased cost of living. Take canned goods, for Instance. The high tariff on tins puts the Welsh tin out of the market and the American made tin makes each purchase cost the purchaser * five cents additional. It yields nothing in return to the gov ernment." We might not be willing to accept the cardinal's opinions on all questions' of religious doctrine, but there is certainly uo fault to be found with his tariff vieirs^ Ever so many explanations Have been made by the experts as to the high cost of living at present, but none "of them has split the middle so exactly as the sr?aL ?.!m . bA?. .mad*, i Ue best argument of the year: 'I think! the tariff ha* a groat deal to do with] '.he increased cost of living." hope that Mr. Taft will not thel earliest and chief effect o' his down- J ward revision. The Illustration used I by the cardinal will show the plain people who consume canned goods how much they are indebted with each ran of goods they buy to Mr. Taft 'ft tariff policy. As It is with can ned goods so It is with all other goods that the voters buy. whether the goods they buy are to cover the back or fill the stomach. Instead of sending Mr. Hills out to Chicago to | fight the beef trust. Mr. Taft should have detailed Mr. Ellis to prosecute Mr. Aldrich and Mr. Payne as the chief conspirators ln_ the new system! of robbing jhe people. Lock up Mr.] Aldrich and Mr. Payne and the cost of living would come down like a house of cards. Let us all thank Car dinal Gibbons for his canned goods illustration of how the tariff works and its bearing upon the cost of liv ing. ? News and Courier. AfiEl) RGOH. (Nashville Tennesseean.) Every day It becomes clearer why restaurants and hotels and lunch counters seldom offer fresh eggs to th<WTOstomers. One cold storage house In New Jer sey, just across from New York c'.ty. has 36.000.000 eggs in storage, or J enough eggs to give etght to every person in Greater New York, and eight stale ones, at that, for mo3t of the eggs have been in storage since last March. Along with the-e eggs are 100,000 pound* of poultry which have been in storage s'ree last April. Every day the invesi'gatiens Into the methods of packers bring forth new facts concerning cold storage methods which are opening the eyes of the public to the necessity for the establishment of a time limit for the holding of foodstuffs. The problem I* not one of prices alone, but ofr^ub lis health. Rancid ejtgs and spoiled po'jflry have been folsfed upon the public long enough. Consumers are n.ot only forced to pay exorbitant prices for fuod. but art* compelled to accept an cient products which have been cor nered anr: held for an advance in prire.

There are very few people who know the proper designation of the man who presides over the supreme court. Generally he Is referred to as the chief justice of the United States Supreme Court. In fact, he is the chief Justice. That's his official title. Most of our Presidents In nomi nating men for this office hove fallen Into the error of giving -him the long title. Very Long Plants. The longest plants in the world are seaweeds. One tropical variety Is known which measures in length, when It has reachcd its full develop tnent. at least 700 feet,, or about on* eighth of a mile. Unsympathetic. Others may have said the earn* thing, but this rather unsympathetic comment is attributed to the late Judge Hoar: "Are you going to attend the funeral of Gen. Butler?" a friend asked him. "No," was the calm re? ply. "No. I am not goliir to attend but I heartly approve of It." How to Improve a Flock. it often happens that one who b*s heretofore kept only mongTel fowls becomes convinced that he should keep a pure breed, but for some rea? son he finds it inconvenient to secure the same. The cost in many cases Is too much, j>nd. though he would like to have better fowls, he feels that he aannot afford it. In Buch eases we would suggest a gradual improvement, a building up. aa it were, of the mongrels he has. I A male bird of some good breed will give him the first year half breeds, and these mated ^frith a pure breed will the next year further im prove the flock, and so on fpr a few years, when he will have A good ttraln of pure bred fowls.

Two years ago six only of the whole galaxy responded to a cali of (he roll of States- that gave aid to their peo ple in road making. Not many ticks of the clock have ben heard, nor has the sun risen on many days since the representatives of sixty-five per cent of the population of the country men who spoke the minds of fifty-five millions of the people of this land stood on a platform In Pittsburg and voiced the demacda for better roads; sud twenty-two commonwealths were at that time committed to the use of State moneys to help improve the highways of the people. New York had agreed to spend for that purpose $5,000,000 yearly, or 89 jents per capita of her population, and now CorffiWtlcur purposes to- gfrve ? from her 8tate treasury for like purpose practically 100 coots yearly per capi ta of her people. thb-tksT ujo'kino suits that were mi<le <o measure last season came from the Glabe Tailoring Co. through Clark Co.
