News of Thh Sand Hills. Southern Pines, June- The succession of severe storms has broken down so many Postal Telegraph wires that . the con struction of the new line into Southern Tines has been delayed and the Postal is not yet ready for business here. It is expected that the wires will be working in a few days, if no more acidents occur- The man who owns a dog in this section of the sandhills wil contribute a dollar to the tax man, but that does not prevent the slaughter of sheep by dogs In the past few weeks almost a hundred sheep have been killed down in the James creek country, and if they can be caught some dogs will not be on hand when the tax man comes around this year. The farmers complain that the sheep-killing dogs are worrying the cattle, especially the calves 'and young stock. The continued showers have assured an excellent corn crop. Corn is vigorous, tall and of an excellent color. The dry weather permitted the farmer to work his crop frequently, and the fields are in fine shape- Cotton is com ing nicely, too, and promises to be the biggest crop ever made in this neighborhood. ( The drouth has been severe on the rabbits, cutting off their sup ply of early vegetables, and the way they are ravaging the field crops and the littls garden , stuff that escaped the drouth is scan dalous. They clean up cabbages, beans, melon vines, sweet potato Slants and everything eatable, uch a scourge of rabbits was never known here before. The cow-pea crop is coming up in the most satisfactory shape. More peas planted this year than usual, and earlier. The drouth, by , allowing farmers to work their crops, enabled them to keep up with their work better than usual. Charlotte Observer. How to Beautify the Plainest Com plexion. "The growing popularity of face lotions is in keeping with our natur al progress, "says a well-known beauty writer, "and before long they will have supplanted powders and cosmet ics. "A very fine lotion can be pre pared at little cost by dissolving a email original package of mayatone in eight ounces of witch-hazel. This, applied to the skin daily, frees it of pimples, blackheads or other blemishes,and will give to the'muddy' tr lifeless complxion a rich embel lishment and natural health-tint impossible with powder or rouge.

Figures from Germany, Eng land, Sweden and seven Ameri can cities Indicate .that lu the average city school system the" children who are In need of such treatment as that afforded by the open air schools constitute from 3 to 5 per cent of the entire school membership. This means that Albany, for example, should have openv air schools In suffi cient numbers to care for 300 children, while New York city needs accommodations for 20,000. When such figures as these are mentioned the objection of ex pense looms high at once, but It must not be forgotten when we are considering expense that a thousand children of school age die each year of tuberculosis In New York city. On the average they have each bad about six years of schooling, for which the city has paid about $250. This means a quarter of a million dol lars loss each year in the great city In money expended on edu cating children who die of tuber culosis before growing up. A quarter of a million dollar a year spent in open air schools designed to prevent this fright ful waste would go far toward meeting the entire expense. AVOID LAWSUITS. People Who Wsste Dollars Gain a Few .Cents. The Progressive Farmer last week printed a sensible article on the folly of lawsuits. It advises its readers that whatever they do vthey should not get into a lawsuit over some trilliug disagreement with a neighbor. The Progressive Farmer but states the truth when it save the courts are full of suits which could have been settled by mutual concession or by arbitration to the great advantage of all parties ex cept the lawyers in the case. Just the other day a ' suit was decided after two or three years of expense and worry on the part of two fami lies. It was over a disputed line, as so many suits are, and the land in dispute was probably not worth $50. The suit cost the winner $225, and the loser being taxed with the costs, necessarily had more to pay. It is probable that each party spent at least $100 worth of time monkeying withj the case. Another case recently noticed is where a farmer had a right to get water from a spring on a neighbor's land. He wanted to build a spring-house, the owner objected. The first man had got along without a Bpring-house for years, it would not have damaged tne land-owner a penny, yet an in. junction has been issued and a law suit is on. Each party will proba bly spend several hundred dollars and be no better eff, and the old friendliness of the neighborhood will be a thing of the past. The Progressive .Farmer concludes that to begin a suit in court over such trivial matters which could easily be adjusted by a little give and take, is not only the poorest sort of business policy a case of wasting certain dollars to grain possible cents but also a crime against the community and a foolish waste of the best part of life, , For what shall it profit a man to gain needless ' lawsuit bnly to looe the good will of his neighbors and his own friendliness toward them? Charlotte Chronicle. The most foolish thing imagin able is a law suit over a trivial matter, that should be settled in a sensible way. Most law suits like most of the wars of history are useless and a great waste of time and energies. The Progressive Farmer says something when it gives this wholesome advice: "Whatever else you do don't get into a lawsuit over some tri fling disagreement w th a neigh bor. The courts are full of suits which could have been settled by mutual concession or by arbitra tion to the great advantage of all parties except the lawyers in the case- Just the other day a suit was decided after two or three years of expense and worry on the part of two families. It was over a disputed line, as so many such suits are, and ithe land in dispute was probably not worth over fifty dollars. The suit cost the winner $225, and the loser, being taxed with the costs, nec essarily had more to pay. It is probable that each party spent at least $1000 worth of time in monekying with the case-" A Letter to the People of North Carolina, .There are many thousands of your people new in the West and North west.

Waiting for the Other Fellow. "The gods help those who help themselves." The Wilmington Star writes sen sibly about Wilmington people put ting their shoulder to the wheel and pushing and tells the fable of the ancient whose cart got stuck in the rut. It was not the Appinn way, which is a paved guod road that was built 312 B. O., arid was, famed throughout Rome and is' famous to day. This ancient team3ter doubt less waH trudging along on just such execrable roads as run through some North Carolina counties that Lave not been popped by the horn et of progress. Says the Star : "In great distress over loss of time because he was stuck fast on an ex. ecrable road and couldn't get to market with his load or could not get to some great feast or the Olym pian games, as might have been the case, the ancient did not fall to swearing or cursing, but began loudly appealing to the gods. Rais ing his hands over his head and cry ing out, alternately beating his breast in his great perturbation, he shouted aloud to the gods to get his vehicle out of trouble and put it in commission so he could go on down the pike." While this foolish fellow was be wailing his fate waiting for the gods to help him, a practical stranger came along and said : "Put your shoulder to the wheel and push 1 The gods help those who help them selves 1" By putting his shoulder t the wheel and giving his aid the wagon 'moved on. Quoting farther from the Star : "He accomplished something be. cause he quit depending on others. He quit waiting for the other fellow. He got a meve on himself and he owed a vote of thanks to the original booster who, we claim, emphasized the potentiality of .'push. ' "The probability is that the old mossback who had to wait to be told to put his shoulder to the wheel was oppose! to voting good roads bonds and the time he lost, or its equiva lent in cash, would have paid his road tax for two or three years. Be that as it may, he belonged to the class who wait for the other fellow. He wanted the gods to do for him what he could and Bhould have done for himBelf . He had no initiative. He fell down on his opportunity to put his shoulder to the wheel and push. The gods may have answered back to his imprecations and told him to get a move on him, but in paraphrasing the fable, we have the right to give our own version of it in order to introduce the booster who illustrated the power behind the puBh.'" Yes, to use an expression from the Scar, "Home investors give con. fidence to new comers and it gives an industry a local standing that is desirable." The Star's article is so much to the point according to our judgment, that we quote further and commend the sensible views expressed to the citizens of Asheboro, and especially to our Chamber of Commerce : "With local investors interested, an industry is not allowtd to shift for itself, but it has home people directly interested in its welfare and success. The influence of home capital will be eterted in behalf of an industry in getting business for it, and in many respects it gives to the industry a hold in the State1 and other States that is altogether desi rable and necessary. The reason why Wilmington may as well make up its mind to put home capital into industries is be cause it will have to do it in com petition with other cities. Hund reds of cities are inviting industries, and inducing industries and seduc ing industries. - They ae out offer, ing capital aa an inducemen and bo some are actually invading manu facturing centers and offering estab lished industries increased capi tal and even free gifts of large funds in order to induce them to move. Cities are making attractive offers and it is those offers that are being accepted. , That is the reason why Wilmington will have to do the same either induce, co operate, or establish industries with its own cap. ital. 'Very few industriesare going to mcve without some great induce, meat or overwhelming superiority of location. Many cities are also in it with fine adaptabilities and induce ments for manufactories, so promot ers have many locations from which to choose Naturally they are going where inducements and oppor tunities combine in an appealing way. f'We can advertise all we wan, but unless we have a definite plan for establishing industries it will simply be throwing money to the winds. Indefinite, entertaining publicity without a plan simply receives passing notice, but it is the definite plan and proposition that will bring results. It will bring them. We needn't advertise till we get our Plans and our Proposi tions ready, and can talk business in a hurry when we have a meritoriona proposition on the Wonders of the Sun. When bees swarm they are led by a queen. So the sun mid heavens journeys through space followed by a family of worlds, but he is many times larger than all of them put together- His heat is so great as to be oppres- 1 sive at a distance of 93,000,000 miles. What must it be close up? The temperature of his surface is 18,000 degrees Fahrenheit, while 100 degrees is almost unbearable to us. The burning at once of 11 quadrillions 600,000 millions of tons of coal would not produce ' the sun's heat given on every second- The light: afforded by him every second is eqnal to 1, 575,000,000,000,000,000,000 mil lions of wax candles. From him this inconceiva ble mass of heat and light has been streaming every second without any per ceptible change for thousands and thousands of years. The noise and roar in the sun, caused by oceans of flame rushing up to the surface and plunging down to the center would kill a man at a distance of 10,000 miles. In 1892 a hole opened on its surface 92, 000 miles long and 62,000 miles wide It remained open for months. Seventy worlds as big as the earth would not have plug ged up its mouth. The sun does not rotate as a whole. Different parts have different periods. At the equator he turns over in twenty-five days. Half way thence to his pole he turns over in twenty-seven and one-half days, producing the wildest con fusion and uproar amid the liimit- -less oceans of fire on his surface. A clock ticks 86,400 times in a day. To tick as many times as the miles the sun is distant from us a clock would require to run three years. You can travel . around the world in sixty days. At this rate on a journey to the sun you would be 605 years old on your arrival, if you started aa an infant. Why Home Merchants Lose. A great deal of money yearly goes out of every community to the larcre mail order houses for goods that could be bought of the home merchant as cheaply and of the same quality. It is easy enough to under stand why. The mail order houses advertise everything they sell by pictures, description and price. That appeals to the cus tomer and he purchases regard less of distance- If the home merchants would buy a given space and through that familiar ize the people with what they have and make it attractive as the mail order houses do this con dition would be changed. The mail order house could not at so great a distance compete with the merchant on the grounds. He knows that it is through ad vertising alone the mail order house exists. Troy Montgomer ian.
