"There seems to be one les

never learn" said a vet ran po
liceman in discussing the mur
der of-Detective Patrick Duffy
according to the Chicago luter-
Oceas, "and that the gun—filing
crook who is ready to shoot to
avert arrest, never hides his
weapon iii his hip pocket. Still
the alrage policeman,in attempt
ing to cpture a known desperate
criminial is generally contented
with a'frisk' of what is known
as the 'pistol pocket.'

Holloran, one of the bravest
men the Chicago police depart
ment ever knew, had thorough

he had arrested on a serious
charge. At least he thought so.
They had gone several blocks
on the way to the station when
Lynch drew a revolver and sho«
Halloran dead. It is believed
by some that he had the weap
on in his hat.
"Gun-tighting crooks carry
their implements everywhere
except in the receptacles provid
ed by the tailors. Up their
trousers, belts, under their arm
pits and even in their shoes and
other places where a careless
search will not reveal them.

"Prove all things; hold fast that which is good."
OUIMIM, IM. C. JULY 2,
i Victor Hugo said that a few
drops more or less of rain would
have changed the result at Wa
terloo and transformed the map
of Europe. It is in the nature
of events that the most momen-
lous consequences follow trif
ling causes, and no human ;
brain can forecast what would i
How from modifications in the ;
. plans of genius, which of them- j
selves apparently have scarce a :
feather's weight. i
Something like sixty years i
ago a man lay dying in a cabin ]
in the backwoods of Indiana ]
His physician had pronounced
his doom, and the victim knew
there was no escaping it. though
his ailment was that insidious,
leceptive disease, consumption. (
"It's all right." said this pal
id sufferer in his rasping, husky ;
voice : "I'm close to the Divide
and nothing can stop me from
crossing over, but you m ust
keep things going for —say, doc- ,
tor, how far off is election?"—
weakly turning his head and
fixing his unnaturally bright
; eyes upon his attendant.
"Two weeks from next Moo
lay."
"Can vou pilot me over that
date?"
"I hope so."
I "That ain't answering my
, question : can you do it?"
I "The most that I can proin
j ise is to use my best efforts;
i you may drop off before that
! time and you may live for sev
eral weeks —no, days."
"I don't care for a single day
i beyond election ; what 1 want
land will have is the strength to
i ride to the polls at next elec
tion. You understand why?"
' asked the patient, wiili a wan
• grin. The doctor nodded' with
out speaking.
A couple of y ars before, the
sufferer was involved in a scrim
mage iu which he killed anoth
er man. II > was placed on trial
i and the evidence would have
convicted him but for the skill
of his counsel, Daniel Kelso,
who brought about his acquit
tal. Kelso was now the Demo
cratic caudidate for the State
Senate of Indiana, in one of the
closest districts iu the country.
He could not afford to throw
away a single vote, and this
man, dying with consumption,
was determined to live long
enough to cast his ballot for the
1 lawyer who had saved him from
a disgraceful death.
And he did it. It was astrike
' ins example of the triumph of
| will over bodily weakness.
Swathed in blankets, the wast
ed skeleton was lifted into a car
' riage, driven slowly for several
" miles on a chilly day to the
polls, where he was tenderly
' lifted out and helped forward to
deposit his vote. The sympa
thetic bystanders cheered the
poor fellow, who was taken
- back to his humbJe home, where
) he collapsed and lived but a
few hours.
That single vote elected D.m
iel Kelso State Senator from
Switzerland county, Ind.—a
fact which appears in .the offi*
cial records of the year 1843.
The burning question at that
What One Vote Did.
902,
ne before the county was the
Imission of Texas into the Un
>n. The South favored it, for
would increase the slave area
nmensely, and for the same
ason the North bitterly op
>sed the step. Moreover, it
as certain that if the step was
iken it would bring on a war
'ith Mexico. The fire was
nouldering and required but a I
light fanning to break into
ncontrollable flame.
Our neighbor was determined
> obtain possession of Texas
nd would not agree to the
ioundary line claimed by her,
a which claim she was upheld
*>y the United States. Texas
laimed that she owned the ter
itory as far south as the Rio
Irande, while Mexico maintain
ed that her ownership ceased at
the Neuces. Many unpreju
liced persons claimed that, at
>est. the admission of Texas
•vould prove of doubtful advan
tage, since the word "Texas"
was only "Taxes," with the
letters in different positions.
11 may be well to note here the
half-forgotten legend that, after
Texas became ours, our govern
ment asked Mexico to name
the bonus which she would ac
cept for taking her back, and
Mexico shook her head and re
plied, "Nay, nay." But that
was a joke.
The Legislature to which
Daniel Kelso was elected was
called upon to choose a United
.States Senator. The regular
Democratic candidate announc
ed himself as opposed to the ad
mission of Texas. This so ex
asperated Kelso that he bounced
out of the caucus, taking with
him a friend, and swore that he
would hold out till the crack of
doom before casting a vote for
the disloyal candidate, hi s
friend standing by him. [
The action dead-locked the j
Legislature, which met day af- '
ter day, only to adjourn with- |
out accomplishing anything by t
its balloting. It may be im
agined what a lively time Kelso ,
and his comrade had, and what ]
means was taken to whip them ,
into line. They are threatened, ;
promised, cajoled, argued with, \
smiled, scrowled up'on, and ev- |
en threatened with personal vio- |
lence, but both stood like a |
rock. ']
"Gentlemen," finally said ,
Kelso, with compressed ling, ,
"we are all anxious to perform j
our constitutional duty—that of ,
electing a United States Sena- J
tor : and there is one single way j
and only one by which it can be !
brought about. Edward A. (
Hannigan represents our views ,
and is a sound Democrat; the (
choice must be either he or the j
Whig candidate." ,
The situation was precisely j
as stated by Kelso. Edward j
Hannigan took his seat in Con- j
gress just in time to vote on the ]
Texas question. The bill for ]
the admission of Texas passed ,
by a single vote aud that was \
cast by Hannigan. That such j
action would have been taken .
ultimately by Congress was a |
part of the logic of events ; but |
had Hannigan voted the other ,
way, the measure would have ]
failed for the time being. It is .
therefore an historical fact that j
the vote of a dying man in the |
backwoods of Indiana brought ,
011 the war with Mexico.—Los
Augeles Times.

VEKY REMARKAHKE CUKE OF
DIARRHOEA.
"About six years ago foi the
first time in my life I had a sud
den and severe attack of diar
rhoea," says Mrs. Alice Miller,
of Morgan, Texas. "I got tem
porary relief, but it came back
again and again, and for Six
long years I have suffered more
misery and agony than I can
tell. It was worse than death.
My husband spent hundreds of
dollars for physicians' prescrip
tions and treatment without
avail. Finally we moved to
Bosque county, our present
home, and one day I happened
to see an advertisement of Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy with a testi
monial of a man who had been
cured by it. The case was so
similar to my own that I con
cluded to try the remedy. The
result was wonderful. I could
hardly realize that I was well
again, or believe it could be so
after having suffered so long,
but that one bottle of medicine
costing but a few cents, cured
me." For sale by Hood & Gran

To County Superintendents.
I enclose a printed list of
books adopted for use in the
public schools by the State
Text-JJook Commission and of
prices and exchange prices of
these books. I desire to call
attention to the fact that the
use of these books in the pub
lic schools will be compulsory,
under the law, after July 1,
1902, and that, if old books now
in use are not exchanged be
fore that time, the exchange
prices, according to the con- ,
.tract entered into with the pub
lishers by the State-Book Com
mission, can not be taken ad
vantake of by patrons of the
public schools. I wish to urge
you, therefore, to send written
official notice to all the teachers
in your county urging them to
notify all children and patrons
of their schools, and to give
notice to all the people of your
county through your county pa
per urging them to take ad
vantage of these exchange
prices before July 1, 1902- If
the patrons of the public schools
fail to avail themselves of these
low exchange prices before the
beginning of the next school
year, they will find themselves
under the hard necessity of be
ing compelled to buy new books
at the full price, and their old
books will be left as useless
property on their hands. This
would mean, of course, a great
loss to the people of the State
aud a decided gain to the pub
lishers, Any book that has
been used or could -have been
used by any child in the pub
lic schools of North Carolina
before July 1, J1902, may be ex
changed for a new book of like
grade upon the same subject at
the price quoted.
I send you under separate
