Mrs. Nation.
When Mrs. Carrie Nation
Desires some recreation
Or lively occupation,
With due deliberation
And grim determination
She leaves her habitation
And makes a demonstration
Against intoxication.
She scorns expostulation,
Ignores all explanation,
Puts ax in operation
At every liquor station
That comes in observation,
Aud there's uo hesitation
Until the devastation
Has reached its termination.
There's sudden agitation,
There's widespread consterna-
Tliere's fiery indignation [tion,]
O'er "booze" in percolation,
But Mrs. Carrie Nation
Displays no trepidation.
In fact, her conversation
Is full of exultation.
With sorrow and vexation
And sad eyed contemplation
Of work of ruination
The man whose occupation
Had angered Mrs. Nation
Makes heated declaration
That he'll start litigation
And get remuneration.
No sign of perturbation
Is shown by Mrs. Nation,
For to her habitation
She goes in jubilation
And vows that ruination
Will have continuation
Till Kansas legislation
Has stopped intoxication.

What a "Buffalo " Is.
The Landmark has been
asked the meaning of the term
("buffalo," as applied to certain
j people. This terra is peculiar
;to eastern North Carolina and
few people in this section un
derstand it. The term was
applied in eastern North Caro
lina to those persons who,
during the civil war, were not
only traitors to the Confedera
cy and refused to support it,
i but who—worse still—stayed
within the Confederate lines aud
covertly aided the Federal forces
with supplies and information
: calculated to aid them in their
l invasion of that territory and in
i the overthrow of the Confeder
] acy.
No class of people were so
cordially hated, and justly, by
the people of eastern North
Carolina as these "buffalos,"
and the severest term that can
be applied to one in that section
is to call him a buffalo. The
"buffalos" were similar to the
"bushwhackers" in western
North Carolina except that they
were considered infinitely worse,
in that the "buffalos" were not
content with opposing the Con
federacy or with simply going
over to the enemy, but that
they stayed within the lines
and, like the sneaks, hypocrites
and cowards that they were,
secretly conveyed aid and com
fort to the enemy.—.Statesville
| Landmark.
1 The Young Man's Chances To-
Day.
"A young man of capacity,
industry and integrity has a
field for individual effort such
as has never before existed in
this country," writes Edward
Bok of "The Times and the
Young Man," in the March
Ladies' Home Journal. "And
success is neither harder nor
easier than it ever was. Suc
cess never yet came to the
laggard, and it never will. Let
a young man be capable, have
enterprise, be willing to work,
and carry himself like a man,
and he goes where he will.
His success depends upon
himself. No times, no condi
tions, no combinations of capi
tal can stop a young man who
has a determination to honora
bly succeed, and who is willing
to work according to the very
utmost of his capacity and sin
ews of strength. The real
trouble is that the average
young man won't work. Pie
has gotten the insane notion
into his head that success comes
by luck ; that men are made by
opportunities which either come
to them or are thrust upon
them. And he waits for luck
or a chance to come along and
find him. Instead of taking a ]
sane view of conditions and ]
seeing with a clear mind that
as trade widens opportunities
increase, he takes the mistaken
view that the rich are getting
richer and the poor poorer. |
These are the conditions of |
mind and life which are keep
ing thousands of voung men ■
down and will keep them down.
The times are all right. It is
the young man who finds fault
with them who is not."
A Deep Mystery.
It is a mystery why women |
endure Backache, Headache,
Nervousness, Sleeplessness,
Melancholy, Fainting and Dizzy
Spells when thousands have
proved that Electric Bitters will
quickly cure such troubles. "I
suffered for years with kidney
trouble," writes Mrs. Phebe
Cherley, of Peterson, la., "and
a lam© back pained me so I
could not dress myself, but
Electric Bitters wholly cured
me, and, although 73 years old,
I now am able to. do all my
housework." It overcomes Con
stipation, improves Appetite,
gives perfect health. Only 50c
at C. L. Wilson's drug store.
Why Not go to the Root of the
Matter?
Charlotte is now enjoying a
diversion in the form of a dis
cussion between a Presbyterian
preacher aud the Mayor. The
former in a sermon last Sunday
deplored the existence of a large
number of gambling hells in
Charlotte. He attributes the
blame, not to the police, but to
the central authority. He says
that backbone is lacking in • the
make up of the higher author
ities of the city. Of course,
the Mayor replies in caustic lan
guage, and says that the blame
does not lie within the city gov
ernment. It seems to us that
neither side has traced the evil
to its source. One day last
week we counted in a Charlotte
daily paper six card party an
nouncements. The "stakes"
were beautiful and valuable.
How can a place be free from
gambling hells and the very at
mosphere of gambling when
Society runs the primary gamb
ling schools in the shape of card
parties. The Mecklenburg
county grand jury was striking
at the root of the matter last
year, when it pronounced eu
chre playing to be on par with
"crap shooting." Raleigh

Owe No Man Anything.
""""""""" I
While the divorce bill was \
being discussed in the House,;
we believe, a few days ago, one ,
member professed adherence to
the Bible idea. A fellow mem
ber said he had great respect
for Bible regulations and that
he finds an injunction, "Owe
no man anything," and wished
to know if the speaker would
favor the abolition of the home-1
stead clause in our constitution. |
This is the first intimation we
have noted that a legislator is j
I thinking of such a movement. |
jWe are doubtless not tipe f r

debt-payers over the land ad
monishes every thinking man:
that it is time to cultivate and ;
ripen the public mind for the ;
movement.

We absolutely need education

We can spend our thousands,

all a travesty, a snare, an in
