COLEMAN REMEDY CO., DUIUt, »«., 0. S. L Anybody Can 6rumble. The Christian Nation has this item condemning fondness for criticism. It has a wide application: "Fault-finding is not difficult. Isaac McCurry illustrates this. A dog, hitched to a lawn mower, stopped pulling to bark at a passer-by. The boy who was guiding the mower said 'Don't mind the dog ; he is just bark ing for an excuse to rest. It is easier to bark than pull this machine.' It is easier .to be critical than correct, easier to bark than work. Ea sier to burn a house than it is to build one. Easier to hinder than help. Easier to destroy reputation than construct char acter. Fault finding is as dan gerous as it i 3 easy. Anybody can grumble, criticise, or cen sure like the Pharisees, but it takes a great soul to go on working faithfully and lovingly, and rise superior to it all, as Jesus did." WHITE MAN TURNED YELLOW. Great consternation was felt by the friends of M.A. Hogarty of Lexington, Ky., when they saw he was turning yellow. His skin slowly changed color, also his eyes, and he suffered terribly. His Malady was Yel low Jaundice. He was treated by the best doctors, but without benefit. Then he was advised to try Electric Bitters, the won derful Stomach and Liver rem edy, and he writes: "After taking two bottles I was wholly cured." A trial proves its matchless merit for all Stomach, Liver and Kidney troubles. Only 25c. Sold by C. L. Wil son, Druggist. A new remedy for bilious ness is now on sale at Hood & Grantham's drug store.

Sajnplaßinee- OUIMIM, IM. C. OCTOBER 9, IQOI, The Law of Succession to The Presidency. Until 1886 the law of the succession to the presidency in case of the d ath, removal or incapacity of the president pro vided that the vice president should come into the office. Next to him in the line of suc cession stood the president pro tempore of the senate, that is the member of the senate who had been elected to preside over the proceedings of that body in the absence of the vice presi dent. After the president pro tem- j pore of the senate came the I speaker of the house of repre sentatives and beyond him there was no provision for suc cession. The defect and possi ble danger involved in this law were brought forcibly to the mind of the country in 1881 by the death of President Garfield and the conditions then exist ing. Vice-President Chester A. Arthur stepped promptly into the president's office, but the senate had failed to elect ai president pro tempore at its last! session and if President Arthur had died or in any way become incapable of performing the functions of the presidency a very uncertain and trying state of affairs would have ensued. \ In order to make the succes sion more stable congress in 1886 enacted the present law regulating it. It is now provided that the vice president shall stand first in the line of succession as he did before, but both the presi dent pro tempore of the senate and the speaker of the house of representatives have been elim inated. The members of the cabinet have been placed in the line of presidential succession in the order of the creation of their offices, namely: 1. Secretary of state. \2. Secretary of the treasury. 3. Postmaster general. 4. Attorney general. 5. Secretary of the navy. 6. Secretary of the interior. The secretary of agriculture is not included, as his office had not been created at the time the act was passed. Before that the agricultural bureau was presided over by a commission er, who had no seat in the president's cabinet. The ar gument used in support of this legislation was that it provided a more secure succession to the presidency by adding more names to it and that it insured also that the policy of the ad ministration would not be revo lutionized, often would have been had the president pro tempore of the senate or the speaker of the house' stepped into the executive office. It has never happened that the presidency has descended further than the vice president, but such a thing might happen and the wisdom of the new law , is generally recognized.—At ; lanta Journal.

Having made a five year con tract with all the publishers for the sale of all text books adopt ed by the State Text book Com mission, we are now prepared to fill orders promptly. Re member that you can buy all the text books from us at con tract prices. But if an old book is to be exchanged for a new one, it must be of like kind and grade. That is to say, an ele mentary book can be exchanged for an elementary book, an ad vanced book for an advanced book. Grammers must be ex changed for grammers and arithmetics for arithmetics, etc. Further it is absolutely neces sary for each and every pupil to bring a certificate from the teacher showing that the old book was in use in the public schools the first of 1901, there by the pupil to make the exchange. Without this certificate, under our contract with the publishers we are not allowed to make any exchange whatever. Remember this and save time and trouble. Section Bof the contract we have with the publishers reads as fol lows : I "That the said Hood & Gran f tham shall sell no text book at the exchange rate hereinbefore described until they have re quired the teacher in each and every school containing pupils entitled to the exchange privi lege to prepare and present a certificate setting forth the name of the old book displaced by the adopted book and the number of copies in use in said school between Feb. Bth and July Ist 1901, and the names of the pupils entitled to purchase new adopted book at the ex change rate upon the delivery on or before July Ist 1902 of the old book formerly used by said pupils." Below we print a correct form for the "pupils certificate of ex change." Please preserve this form. PUPILS CERTIFICATE OF EX CHANGE. This will certify that a pupil in school N0..., Dis trict No in County, North Carolina, is entitled to purchase (insert name of book) at exchange rates upon presen tation of an old copy of ... without pages or cover missing, and payment of exchange price, said pupil having used said old book in the above named school sometime between February Ist and July Ist, 1901.

"To feel in apple pie order" is a phrase which dates back to Puritan times to* a certain Fleplizibah Merton. It seems hat every Saturday she was iccustomed 10 bake two or liree dozen apple pies, which were to last her family through :he coming week. These she tilaced carefully on her pantry -helves labeled for each day of the week, so that Tuesday's pies might not be confused with Thursday's, nor those pre sumably large or intended for washing and sweeping days eaten when household labors were lighter. Aunt Hephzi bah's "apple pie order" was known throughout the entire settlement, and originated the well-known saying. It was customary in France when a guest had stayed his welcome, for the host to serve a cold shoulder of mutton, instead of a hot roast. This was the origin of the phrase "To give the cold shoulder." "None shall wear a feather but he who has killed a Turk" was an old Hungarian saying, and the number of feathers in his cap indicated how many Turks he had killed. Hence the origin of the saying with refer ence to a feather in one's cap. In one of the battles between the Russians and Tartars a private soldier of the former cried out, "Captain, I've caught a Tartar!" "Bring him along then," answered the officer. "I can't, for he won't let me," was the response. Upon inves tigation it was apparent that the captured had the captor by the arm, and would not release him. So "catching a tartar" is applicable to one who has found an antagonist too power ful for him. "Before you can say Jack Robinson" owes its origin to foolish John Robinson, who, when he called on his friends, always was in such a hurry that he would be off again, without giving his host more than time to pronounce his name. When the Spanish armada came to the coast of England, many of the ships were driven by the fierce attack of Drake and Howard and the fury of the elements nofth to the Helder river and South to the Skelder river—the Scheld hence the ex pression "helter skelter." "Goto Halifax !" That town was a place of special terror for rogues because of the first rude guillotine invented there by Mannaye for chopping otf felons' heads. His ax law was that the criminal should be condemned first and inquired upon after." To' "dun" a man for debt comes from the memory of Joe Dun, bailiff of Lincoln, who was so keen a collector that his name became a proverb. The expression "He's a brick" is first found in Plu tarch. The whole phrase is ex pressive of every form of admi ration. The Spartans, quick witted and noted for their re partee, were early trained in both schools. They were men of few words, and fewer laws, and embodied in short their admiration, dislike or ap preciation. Lycurgus was not only a man of few words but quick action. On being asked "should Sparta be enclosed?" an invasion of the enemy being expected during the time of war he replied : "A city is well for tified which has a wall of men instead of brick." A very clever story is told of the diplo matic mission from the court of Epirus. The ambassador, being shown over the city by the king, expressed surprise that no walls were built around Sparta for its defense. "Walls?" cried the king, "Thou canst not have looked carefully. Tomorrow we will go together and I will show you the walls of Sparta." On the following day the king led his guest to where his entire army was drawn »up. Pointing with great pride to the magnificent body of men, he exclaimed: "There thou belioldest the walls of Sparta and every man a brick." •'Byhookaud by crook" is an allusion to an ancient man orial custom, which permitted theu neighboring poor to take all the wood that they could reach and pull down from the forest trees, using only their shep herd's crook.

"It was Hob*on's choice," are acquainted with the real sort of selection that Tobias llobsoh of fered his guests? This is: the genuine version of the tale: The said Tobias Ilobson was a Cambridge inn keeper, with forty horses in his stables, some better, of cours« than others.. When a traveler 1 came to re- ; quest a mount he was obliged . to take the steed that *tood nearest the door, although j there were so many others ad vertised as fof hire. If the traveler objected to that mount, all he could do was to wait un til some other traveler hxd come for one, and so removed this and left its next door neighbor nearest the stable door. To "have the gift of g*b" means of the (use of the) mouth, "gab" being the Scotch word for mouth. "Scot" means tax. To "go scot free," therefore, really means tax free, and hence, gen erally, to get off without the imposition of any tax or forfei ture, to escape entirely from any evil consequence of one's act.
