Were baDoiness a realm, iDtellieeno needs matt be it light, lov it water, and reverenoe it atmoipher. There eQ be no highly ordered charaoter not nortared by tbe three intelligenoe, reverence and love. Aeoording to tbe intimacy of Ibis trinity m banian per sonality, it the degree of harmony wbion tbe individual enjoyt, at related to the whole creation, and alto tbs degree of pleasnre attained by him in his own eiistence. Exeett of intellect sometimes forbidt love its due proportion of one' being, and love tometimet obttrnoti intelli gence, Either way, tbe disproportion it a costly impediment for wbion there seems to be do eorreotive. But there ia a more general diepro portion than tbat eited, and that ia tbe iosnffiflienoy of ravrnoe, Particularly in ibis period, when there is going on snob transformation ot ideals, the at tribute ot reverence it under snob grave neglect at to be virtually in a ttate of restraint. Ample avowmenti of rev erent are made, but are they felt by tbe many T la a way, yet j but it it a vagne, tbeoretioal impression, oloser akio to awe than reverence. Man it too deeply oonsoions of hit dependence on tbe order of natnre ever to be wholly irreverent. Bnt that fine reverence which it worthip, which it directly active over oar whole mental and moral being tbat reverence it rare. Uj tome teverenoe it considered a seneral endowment, possessed by one like the ten talents, by another like tbe single talent bat speoifio in degree. cat tbit view cannot ttand tbe test of evidence, and it, in a measQte,. offered at a oondonement of their sbortoom , ingt by those delinquent in their does of reverenee. . Tbit we know, tbat intelligence and reverence belp each the otber, Here it a. book-reared man going forth from college. Matty tomes, intelleotaal ab ttraotioot possess bim merely. If reverenoe be endowed in bim, it ttill it dormant, and he goea forth into the natural world a stranger, Like one man speakt or another at "knowing him by reputation," so tbe eollege man knows nature only tbat way, and at yet be may admire, bat oannot revere. Bat at he mingle with nature, and bat oontaet and com ma Dion with her visible forms, there arises in bim something that books oannot inspire, and presently be knows tbat it is reverenoe. lie did not bring to tbat communion a speoifio spirit or quantity ot reverenoe. He aimply com moned, and ty communing learned; and learning, felt. Distinct from bim there it the man native and mature in natural surround ings, untutored and simple at sbep herds who tend their fl eks by night. The instruction of books ha not been hit, bnt start have addressed, him; tbe brook has been bis music; beyond tbe woods the river flows sedate and oalm, and unconsciously renders bim digni fled; tbe Sabbath day dawnt differently on bit senses from tbe otber days, and be climbs to tbe mountain top, not knowing why, ignorant' that it it a tense of exultation, be feeds bit stock more plentifully that day and walks forth among them, and turveye his fields, and here and there plucks from bit trees a broken limb, and pauses to follow a robin's flight, and thrills at its note every emotion an aot of worship, every tbongbt tbe voice of reverenoe. Here, then, Ibe two commune tbe scholar and tbe simple man. And na tare blesses both as she blesses every oreature whose thoogbte are hers, whose heart kindly take to her benefi cenoe. Greensboro, N.

Mr. Editor: There will be a meeting of tboFay- etteville Chamber of Commerce at Ibe City Hall on Friday night for tbe por nose of eleeting officers and transacting otber business, and 1 write for tbe par- pose of ealliag attention to tbe past work and future possibilities of this commendable organization. . Unr Ubatnber ot commerce oegao only a few years ago and, notwith standing the faet tbat it hat not been sustained at it tbould have been, by even itt membership, it bat aoeom plished a vast amount ot good in our community. It mast be 'that tbe large msjority of oar business men have not given dne consideration to the work' ings of, and tbe advantages to be de rived from' tbit association, or I feel surs tbat it would have received a more cordial-support ttisa-basbBrelt)fore been accorded to it. What it Ihit Chamber of Commerctf is an organisation formed in oar oommanity, not for tbe advaoemeat of any Individual or set of individuals, but for the upboilding of our town and section by tbe development of our material tesonroet on tbe broad lines ot oommanity welfare. It it an organ ization to which all men who are direotly or indirectly interested, to any consid erable extent, in the npbnildiog and growth ot Fayetteville, should belong and lend tbeir active inflaenoe, no matter what tbeir business or occupa tion may be. Men live in communities beoause it it to their advantage to to do. "Mo man livetb to himself, do man dietb to himself". We are all dependent npon our neighbors, and whatever benentt one in a community, to some extent, benefits all. "In nnion there is strength." A eommnuity sup porting and co-operating through a wall organized and well sustained Chamber of Commerce mast necessarily have a very decided advantage over one which depend npon individual effort and tbat too ot a spasmodie nature by few enterprising persons. Since the organization of the Cham ber of Commeroe in the City of Fay etteville, as much or more good has resulted to oar eommaoity aa perhaps in any period of tbe existence of our eity, and tbat too notwithstanding the tact Ibat this chamber baa not bad nearly tbe support by tbe eommunity as from its inception, it was entitled to reoeive. Those of as who have travelled and compared onr town and section with tbe otber towns and seotiont ot tbe State aod of tbe United 8tates, must realize tbat by natnre Fayetteville is peoudarly blest. It it rarely tbe ease that a visitor comes to Fayetteville tbat be is not Impressed with its natu ral beauty and its advantiges. It rarely happens that one leaves Fay etteville to make bis borne in some other place that be does not maintain an abiding love for our good old town, and, if possible, from time to time re turn to it for tbe purpose of clasping bands with old friends and its warm hearted citixens, and, it so fortunate as to accumulate a competence in some other place, he is more than likely to return here to erjoy it among the best people on earth. These things prove, ttrst, tbat we have superior oatural advantages, and, second, tbat we have a most excellent and oordial people. This is what man kind the world over is seeking for, and what our eommaoity needs it a medium through wbioh oar advantages can be communicated and made known to tbe ontside world. Individuals as suob have uot the time to folly lay before outsiders our advantages. There are some individuals in every community (Cor example, the secretary) who bave a speoial aptitude for snob work. All oities and live towns reoogoisi these facts and all of them bave bodies hroogb whiob homt-jeekers and would-be investors may be eommu nieated with. I believe tbat I do net exaggerate when I say that, direotly or indireotly. owr Chamber of Commetce is entitled to tbe eredit tor a large por tion ot tbe progress which the eity of Fayetteville has made in the past five or six years. Not only has it oeeo beneficial by its advantages in Dring ng oapital and hoxuvieekers into our community, bat it be bad a beneficial effect as well in partially diverting its attention from the dead ashes ot the put and causing it to look forward with earnest bope to the tntore. A tew years ago tbe "oroaker" was entirely too oommon and nothing oould be undertaken but wbat Its failure would be earnestly predicted. Things bave changed and Ibe "oroaker" is fast becoming "a fossil of an extinet spe eiet." nay tne time toon come woan the "croaker" will only be a matter ot history to tbe marvel aud terrible ex ample ot oar rising generation. We are last at tbe beginning of Fay. etteville's upbuilding, and if itscitixen ship of all classes, trade and profet siont will bnt make op tbeir minds to thoroughly eooperate along tbe line of progress and through the intelligent action of a well sustained Chamber of Commerce, prediot for our eity suob a growth a will surprise n all at wall a the outside world. At tbit season ot the year, when basin it dull and w All have plenty ot tim npon oar hands, th Chamber ot Commerce eomld, and. It properly sustained, would be sending literature all through tbit country showing tht advantage ot Fayetteville and Cumberland eouoty. A adverts tiaing is tbe lite of trade to the indi vidual. so to tbe community advertise ment is essential to growth. A ttate meet from aa individual, unlet well known to the person to whom that statement is made, ha but little effect, bat a statement made by tbeindividualt Kof evtri calling, trad and protection, represented in, and speaking through the msdlum of a cuamoer or uommeree, bv a eomoeteat and well informed teoretary and after consultation with a live president and active ooard ot air rectors, dm tne weiaei or i cos. mKRi'fy UUnd it Moat of as, for instance, however willing w mignt o to do so, as Individuals are able to prepare and tend oat pamphlet detail' log our advantages; but tbit the eom munity. through tbe Chamber ot Com meroe, is abundantly able to and should do.

Tbe destiny of Fay etteville seems to be to become a manufacturing center. We have every dvantage. . Our surrounding country is as well adapted to trucking as that f any section ot North Carolina or tbe South. Oar climate aod oar social relations are ideal. We know these faets. -Why should we not make them known to others f - Every man wbo invests a dollar in onr eommaoity to tome extent, directly or indirectly, benefits every person ia tbe community. For iostsnee i Tbe Chamber of Com merce sends ont oiroular detailing the advantage wbioh Fayetteville has over any otber eommunity in tbe State, each as low freight rates by reason of water competition: onr pure water; onr salubrious climate, in which manufac turing can be done every week day ot tbe year; oar low death rate; oor abun dance of pore water: our freedom from ttriketp-anibe-wrdiairilsttonrexri isting between oapital and labor and the white and colored races. Some capitalist is impressed by this statement made by a oommunify and deems it worth while to investigate. He write to the Chamber of Commerce and the secretary promptly replies giving him in detail tbe intormation which be desires. He is to impressed with tbe additional information which be received from the secretary tbat he come here to investigate in persoo. The president or secretary of our or ganization meets bim, gives him, in behalf of tbe oommanity, a cordial welcome. He stop at tbe hotel, tbe botel is benefitted. He hires a carriage, tbe livery man it benefitted. He sees pieoe of property wbicb be thinks will answer hie purpose and immedi ately employs a lawyer to investigate tbe title, tbe lawyer is benefitted. All of tbe eommaoity it indirectly benefits ted by the money paid. He bays tbe property, tbe properly owner is benefitted. He builds a factory, every carpenter and mason in the com munity is benefitted. He employs labor and a permanent industry is established in oar midst which is a constant source of revenue to oor whole section. Tbit it do fancy picture, bat it it exactly what bat been going on for tbe past several years and tbat, loo, without tbe lopport which the secre tary of oar chamber should bave had It is to be hoped tbat this article will serve the purpose of, at least, oalling tbe attention ot oar citizens to some ot tbe advantages which will result from co-operation. Let oor business men, through onr Chamber of Commerce, without any regard to polities or ereed. meet to discuss tbe best interests of all wbicb meet tbe best interests ot every one. jjet ns rally to the support ot this commendable institution, which, through itt able president, oapable secretary and zealous board of direc tor bas done so muob lo tbe past, and wbioh, if properly sustained, can ao oomplish muob more in tbe future. Tbe cost it trivial and tbe benefits will be innumerable. Very respectfully, H. MoD. Robinson. Yeas Iteau. Vass. N. C. July 7. 1902.

Crossing tbe three trunk lines of the Southern, Seaboard and Coast Line and connecting with the bead ot navi gation on tbe Cape Fear, it will afford wbat Concord bas so long needed, com petition and cheaper rates of freigbt. We are assured tbat tbe building of Ibis road is practically a certainty, etc, etc Concord at no distant day will be a oity ot 25,000 and have a wholesale trade equal to that of Greensboro or Charlotte. Tbe reader may take np bis map and trace from Concord lo Mt.

No outlet oan be so good and no route could give freigbt snob ehoioe. Mt. PleaeaDt, yes Mt. Pleasant is on the line and will now get tbe needed adjunct, a splendid railroad.

"COMMERCIAL DIMOCBAOY " Republicans Try to Buy Demoorats to Run for Legislature. State Chairman Simmons yesterday sfiernboo received a letter from a well known and honorable gentleman in Franklin, says tbe Raleigh News and Observer, giving tbe details of the at tempt to hire a popolar citizen of tbat county to run for the Legislature. This gentleman was "approached by a prom inent Republican with a proposition to ran for the Legislature from Fraoklio ojunty as a 'Commercial Democrat,' wilh the distinct understanding that if be failed of election or be elected he would be 'cared for.' " Toe gentleman approached has not been prominent in party circle;, bnt is a gentleman of capacity, very popular, and tbat was why ibe -ffer was made him. He is a gentleman of limited meat s. But he is a staunch Democrat, a man of high character, and it did not take bim a minute to repudiate tbe whole business. Tbe Republican leader, in the course ot the conversation, said tbat tbe Re publicans intended to oarry tbe Legis lature so as to re-elect Pritobard, and tney had assurance of Democratic sup port in carrying out their plan. There is not room to doubt tbat this is Ibe plin the Republicans expect to pursue. It is for this that newly ap pointed postmasters are required to pay ten per cent, of their salaries to be devoted to a legislative campaign fund. Wnenever you see a so-called Demo crat talking abont running as an inde pendent for the Legislature, you may put it dowo that be bas been promised tbat be will be "oared for" and tbat be U-macking bis lips in contemplation of drawing tbe salary from a Federal office. But there are not many sell outs in ibe Democratic party in North Carolina I Cumbtilaad Before tht Berolntion. Corresp. nderca ot the Obterrer Red Springs, N. C, July 8, 1902-. Tbis correspondent is mnob interest ed in tbe movement to erect a monu ment at Liberty Point to mark the spot where the patriots of Cumberland passed tbe "Liberty Point Declaration The copy of tbe Declaration pre served in Raleigh is in the handwri ting of Robert Rowan, and tbe impres sion prevails tbat be was tbe antbor. This iaaa error. Any one who will examine the ' Prooeedings of tbe Wil mington Committee of Safety" will readily see that tbe Declaration was prepared in Wilmington and copies were sent to tbe various committees so tbat tbey coqld pass upon tbem simulta neously on tbe ZUib of June. At tbe Halifax Convention in 1770 copies of the Mecklenburg Declaration of May 20ib, of the previous year, were distributed among tbe members and also sent to tbe various ocmmiltees throughout tbe Cape Fear section. Oae ot these copies was given to James Gillespie from Duplin and was pre served by hisson.Msjn David Gillespie, ot B aden onnty, till the year 1824, or perhaps longer. We bope tbat tbe interest evoked at tbis late day may incite some one to gather the fragments that remain of tbe history of tbat eventful per.od. (.roes Creek, as far back aa 177U and 1771, was the distributing point of tbe literature tbat stirred the people in .tegnlaiion times. Oae McAlister a merchant at Croae Creek, tbe friend and agent of Berjamin Franklin, tra ded with Philadelphia, and in that way boxes ot pamphlets as well aa goods found tbeir way to Cross Creek. Here Herman Husbands, the cousin of Dr. Franklin, would reoeive tbe pamphlets for distribution among Ihe people in tbe back oonntry. This Husbands was sent to North Carolina to prepare tbe minds of tbe people for resistance to British oppression. Was tbis McAlister tbe same who represented Cumberland io the Con vention ot 1778 and voted against tbe adoption ot the Constitution t Who wtt Colonel Ebenezer Foltome, to whom Mr. MoCaekill alluded in a recent eommonioationf A brother of Governor Gabriel Johnstone, who be longed to Marion's band in the rerolu lotion, left a manuscript, recently dis covered, giviog details ot events and persons, and among others, alludel often to a Colonel Foltome as an aotive patriot. Inquiry ot certain historians of our State meet with no response save that nothing i known ot bim. Dr. Carnther mention hi name and tbat i all. I hop Mr. McCaskill will pat oa hit "studying' cap" and give as some particular ot tbit Colonel Fol tome. Tbe proceeding ot th Convention ot 1789, that met in Fayetteville and adopted the Federal Constitution, would be interesting reading, yet tbe only copy in existence repoaet in th State Library and excites no interest. When the Convention adopted the Constitu tion there was violent opposition, bnt the die was east and the independent State of North Carolina "acceded" to tbe Amerioan Union. It was in vain tbat John Huske, with one hundred men at hi back, bolted tht convention. In the light ot tobet qntnt evanta ws ar not tor bnt old John Huske was right.. H.MoM.

A London dis patch ttatet tbat tbe Moorieh envoy to tbe coronation ot King Edward said yesterday before leaving for bis borne id Morocooi ('England is f, great conn try, bnt I am glad to be 'going back to civilization again." Not a great many years ago a gallant American soldier, wbo bad been nominated ror tne fresi- denoy, defined tbe tariff as a purely "looal question.'' Is nivilizitiou like tbe tariff, merely a "local question" According to American and Lngiisb notions civilization does not exist in Moroeoo.' Exclusive society io Boston and London bas no affinity with tbe 'Four Hundred" of tbe Moorish Sul tan's dominions. The Anglc-Saxon ot the United States and Great Britain regards the "inferior races" with ill concealed contempt. He has an in grained belief in HleT 0WH Superiority, having long ago convinced himself that a few a very few of tbe white races of the earth are tbe "eleot peoples," the yellow, brown and black inbabi tints of the globe being fashioned put of an inferior order of clay. Tbe words ot the Moorish envoy, however, indi cate tbat the more or less "benighted heathen" bave a very comfortable opin ion of themselves. They do not con cede tbat tbe white man's pretensions to unapproachable superiority are jas titled by prevailing conditions. The dusky diplomat of Morroco weighed the civilization of London in the bal anoe and found it wanting. London is not a congenial place of abode for the civilized Moor. From his view point the customs and institutions of tbe subjects of the Saltan of Morocco are far superior to those of the people of the British metropolis. And so tbe Moor was glad to shake the dust of London1 from his sandals and set out for bis own oonntry tbe land of real enlightenment and true civilization. Probably all those "inferior races" npon which the white man looks with scorn laugh at bis pretensions. Tbe Western world sends missionaries to China to reolaim and elevate the Chi nese, who are representative of a civil izatioo wbiob was old when Western civilization was in its infancy. The Chinaman doesn't want to be reclaimed. In bis own mind he is convinced tbat the Western peoples are "barbarians." When battleships and armies are sent to elevate him he enters a vigorous pro test. He believes his social system, bis code of laws, bis literature and bis form of government are vaBtly better than tbe substitutes whiob the "barba root nations" of tbe West would force npon him. Chinese civilization bas been handed down from antiquity. The civilization ot ibe West, the Chinaman believes, is a parvenu and upstart development. Tne Hindoos of India faave a profound dislike and disgust for any civilization but tbeir own. Tbey feel degraded when tbey are brought into contaot with tbe white man. Tbe Afrioau king who lives in a mud boose, aod, from tbe Western point of view, is scarcely so perior to tbe gorilla, hasn't any doubt that the social and governmental insti lutions of "Darkest Africa" are tbe best tbe genius of man has ever de vised. The cannibals of tbe Paoifio islands bave sever admitted tbat their customs are inferior to those of tbe missionaries wbo eagre to teach them tbe higher civilization. No doubt Western civilization is im mensely better tban anything the "in ferior races" bave devised. But if the "heathen" are not convinced by arga ment and ocular demonstration, bow shall tbey be made lo realize in a civ ilized manner tbe blessings of civiliza tion f They say they are happy and contented ; that tbey do not want to exchange their customs for ours; tbat their standards are exalted enough for ibem, and that they would prefer to be left to enjoy themselves in their own way. Shall we heed their appeals, or shall we laogh to scorn assertions that their civilization is really better than ours and proceed to civilizs tbem with a club T In all fairness, it seems tbat tbe "inferior raoes" might be left in complete and uninterrupted enjoyment of the oivilixition which tbey prefer. Most of them bave been deprived of everything that tbe Western nations regard as valuable. They bave been deprived of territory, ot gold mines, of tbe material resources with which Prov idence had blessed them. Tbe West ern nations bave tbe substanoe: whv not let the "heathen" bave the shadow! If tbey prefer their civilization, why interfere with it f Tbev believe we are "barbarians," and the Western nations' dealings with tbem leave this an opeu question. At any rate, since nothing bas been left to tbem except tbeir civ ilization, why not agree to disagree on this subject! Europe has tbe spoils, and that is what "elevating tbe inferior raoes" usually leads to. Let the "hea then" be happy in tbe thought that their civilization is irreproaobable. Tkt Irilthaid Coatpuaey.
