The story of a recent Samp son county romance has just come to us anil it is another in stance of "Cupid's finding a way." A young man of I van hoe became infatuated with a young woman residing in a nearby neighborhood and wooed her, the love soon becoming mutual. Marriage was decided upon as the culmination of ,heir happiness, but a grim, contrary old father put his foot down on the match and refused •o allow "the young Romeo to continue his visits. Last week the ardent young lover went to Clinton and pro cured a marriage license. The first step had been taken to wards tho perfection of the plans of these young lovers When the father sent his daugh ter to the pasture to attend the hcep. She dressed in hor best clothes, but over them .-die wore the same old dress which she had been wearing about the place. She went towards the sheep pasture with an unusual ly glad and quick step and a heart full of song. But her continued absence iarot}-ed her father's suspicion and upon inquire a neighor in formed him of the Issuance of a marriage license. On his old gray mule, without coat or sad dle, he sped down the road iu hot pursuit. His musket was his companion in the chase. He arrived at the home of the young maij, au4 tliere found his daughte, but ho was a few seconds too late.—Wilmington Dispatch. Chznce for Ycung Men. Ju ajrpost every town in the South the young men aye seek= ing employment, even at small compensations while iti the same towns skilled mechanics are scarce and high-priced. While the young man in many a small town is seeking employ ment it frequently happens that there is not'a first class ma chinist, bricklayer or carpenter in some of these towns. The remedy is for the young men to learn trades. They i should acquire practical train ing and practical skill. In in dustrial life it is the mechanic who is advanced. The best mechanic becomes the foreman. The best, forman becomes the superintendent. The best su perintendent becomes the presi aent in turn becomes the pro prietor on his own account. Education both in common schools and colleges, is all right. But practical training cannot be ueglected. Indeed the young man oftwentyrone having a fine college education, but uo prac tical training or skill, is in a worse situation than the young man at the same age with only a common school education aud a good trade. —Charlotte Ob server. OASTORZA. Bears tlie The Kin(l Have Always Bought DUIMN, IM. C. FEBRUARY 1 ~ 1902, THE FARMER AND THE MILLS. At first sight it might not seem that the farmers are much interested in cotton or any oili er kind of mills unless they raise the raw material that is consumed by the mills, but as a matter of fact tho farmers are more interested in them than any other class of people, with the exception of those who have their money invested in them or depend directly upon them for employment and a liveli hood. According to the report of the State Commissioner of Labor and Printing there are in this State 285 textile mills distribut ed among 53 out of the 97 coun ties in the State, and varying from 1 to 26 in a county. They give employment directly to 4-4,544 pessons. The wages paid to this a-my of employe, many of whom have families, is spent mainly for food raised upon the farms, while all of the raw material consumed except that by silk mills, and that im ported by the wollen mills, is produced upon the farms, and the farmers get the money. They thus supply a home mark et, near the farmer, for thous ands upon thousands ot- dollars' worth of stuff, for which he would have had no market without them, or which he would have been compelled to sell to some middleman, who shipped to distant markets. There isn't a farmer within baulingradiqs of any of tljese mills who has not been benefit ed more or less by them, not only in the returns from the produce of various kinds sold to them, but in the enhanced value of the lands, on account of the home market and the number of products that come in demand• T lie 7 stimulate land improvement, too, hotter cultivaion, more diversification of crops, more attention to stock, dairying etc., and thus help the farmer iu another way. These are some reasons why farmers are and should be in terested in textile mills and in all manufacturing industries.— Wilmington Star.

Groton, Mass., Special.— Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., is the leader of a revolt against the ancient usuages of the aristo cratic Groton school. About a month ago he decided that hats and caps were useless articles of raiment, and accordingly dis carded his own, an example that was promptly followed by every one of the one hundred and fifty boys. No matter how cold the day or how severe the storm the bjysof Groton trudge about over the country high ways bareheaded, Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., is just 15 years old, and by com mon consent he seems to t ike the leadership of the school. He wears glasses like his father and docs not look near so strong as lie is, but glasses is the only subject on which he is especial ly sensitive. Not long after his arrival some of the larger boys began calling him "four eyed'' Teddy. It did not take long for the news to spread that to cry "four-eyed" Teddy meant to fight. Mr. Whoe'er Qqt Rid of His Rheumatism "During the winter of 1898 I was so lame in my joints, in fact all of my body, that I could hardly hobble around, when I bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm.

Nothing is more amusing than to watch two acquaintan ces saluting in the streets of a Japanese town. As they come in «-ight of each other thev slacken their pace and approach with, downcast eyes and avert; ed faces, as if neither was worthy of beholding the other, then they bow low so as to bri.jg the face, .still kept avert ed, on a level with the knees, on which the palms of the hands are pressed. A concession of hissing sound is made by drawing in the lipcath bctwt'ttii the closed teeth, interspersed with a series of complimentary phrases uttered with a great volubility in a sort of undertcned falsetto, each trying to outdo his friend in the rapidity and extravagance of his language, while tho palm-, are diligently rubbed against each other.—Penny Magazine. "I have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for a number of years and have no hesitancy in saying that it is the best remedy for coughs, colds and croup I have ever used in my family.

Savannah, Special.—Sume of tho residents of Savannah ap pear to have made up their minds never to forgive President Roosevelt for inviting Booker T. Washington to dinner last October. The latest incident showing that the memory of t'lis occasion is still kept greet, came last l.ight at tho annual meeting of the Georgia Society Sons of the Revolution, and it has been widely discuss* d, throughout the city today. Of ficers of the society had been chosen for the coming j'ear and other matters were given atten tion. The time capie to eject five delegates to the general council of the sons of the Revo lution to meet at Washington next April. A letter was read from the General Secretary of the organization, suggesting that as President Roosevelt was in Washington and a member of the Georgia Society Sons of the Revolution, it might be a pretty compliment to name him as one of the delegates. Assistant United States Dis trict Attorney W. R. Leakeu is a member of the Georgia Soci-" ety, and he at once uomioafcul the President as a delegate. lie tackled a hornet's nest. One of the members rose at once and declared ho would never vote for a man who entertained a ne gro at dinner for any office. The gentleman who proposed the President's name .championed his cause and the discussion be came so general that the chair? man had to declare meeting adjourqed to preserve harmony. The matter is now hung up in tho air aud will be acted upon at a meeting to bo called later. Meantime the city is discussing the incident and speculating on the outcome. The Value of Sermons. A few days ago the Richmond Dispatch published an item concerning a minister known in North Carolina. The minister last summer while on the Norfolk and West ern railroad had his satchel checked, which had in it two hundred sermons in tnauuscript and a U.ble with many nota tions in it. The sachel had been properly checked and the road thercforo was responsible for it. It was lost and the company was willing to pay the damages, but what it was, no one seemed to know. It was decided to appoint a board of arbitration. Rev. W. p. Hines the ownpr p.f tho satchel, to se lect one minister, the railroad another, and the two agree on the third. Rev. Mr. Iliues chose Rev. E. A. Owen, D. D., of Norfolk, and the railroad Rev. H. M. Hoge, editor of the Richmond aud Baltimore Christ ian Advocate, the third roan being J. J. IJall, of Nor folk. We clip the following from the Commonwealth which srives the decision of the arbitrators : A board of arbitration, con sisting of Rev. Hubert M. Hoge, associate editor of the Rich mond Christian Advocate ; Rev. pr. Is. Owen, pastor of (4r.ace Baptist church, of this city, and Rev. Dr J. J. Hall, pastor of Park Avenue Baptist church, of Norfolk, after a ses sion of nine hours, awarded Rev. W. P. Hines, pastor of Park Avenue Baptist church, Portsmouth, S2.SO damages for the loss of satchel checked by the Norfolk and Western rail way and containing 202 sermons as well as a Bible with many notations therein. Rev, Mr. Hines asked SI,OOO. Both sides will abide by the de cision of the arbitrators, and tlu $250 wiU bo paid the minis ter by the Norfolk and Western at once. The Cocoa Tree. A traveler in South America, where the cocoa tree is largely cultivated, speaks of the great care with which the young plants have to be protected from the sun, which, if very strong, is fatal to them. To secure this protection and planters shield them by banana trees and plantain trees, the broad leaves of which give them the needed shade. And even when they are full grown they need protection, which is given by trees known as "immortels," or, as the planters call "the mother of the cocoa." Thus the whole cocoa plantation has a port of canopy.—Selected.

In fact, it is a flesh healer aud pain killer no matter who or what the patient Mistakes of Women. One of the mistakes of wo men is not knowing how to eat. If a man is not to be fed when she is, she thinks a cup of tea and anything handy is good enough. If she needs to save money she does it at the butch er's cost. If she is busy, she will not waste time in eating. If sho is uuhappy, she goes without food. A man eats if the sherili" is at the door, if his work drives, if the undertaker interrupts—and he is right. A woman will choose ice cream instead of beefsteak, and a man will not. Another of her mistakes is in not knowing when to rest. If she is tired, she may sit down, but sho will darn stockings, crochet shawls, embroider doil ies. Doesn't she know that hard work tires? If she is ex hausted, she will write letters or figure • her accounts. She would laugh at you if vou hint ed that reading or writing could fail to vest her. All over the country women's hospitals flourish because women do not know how to rest. Another mistake on the list is their constant worrying. Worry and hurry are their ou emies, and yet they hug them to their bosoms, Women cross bridges Uefore they get to them, and even build bridges to cross. They imagiue misfortune and run out to meet it. Women are not jolly enough. They make too serious a busi ness of life, and laugh at its little humor too seldom. Men can stop in the midst of per plexities and have a hearty laugh- Aud it keeps them 3'oung. Womeu cannot and that is one reason why they fade so early—there are other reasons, but we will pass them now. Worry not only wrinkles the face ; but it wrinkles and withers the mind. Have a ' hearty laugh once iu a while, it is a good antiseptic, aud will purify the mental atmosphere, drive away evil imaginings, bad temper and other ills—Buffalo Times. A Bold "Ad." As may be supposed, the largest advertisement in the world is that of an American firm. But the giant "ad." is not in America. Far off across the rolling deep it is spread along the face of a cliff on one of the islets of the Canary group, so that all passing steam ers may sight it and their pas sengers have the benefit of its advice. The whole sentence is 750 feet long and is painted on the cliff at a height of 300 feet from the waves. There are four words in letters each 30 feet high aud 75 feet wide. The huge sign can be seen for miles at sea on a clear day. The boldness of the thing almost takes away any anger which one , may feel at the disfigurment of the islet by this bit of commer- I cial enterprise.—Selected. The Southern Railway.
