' ' '-.: . ' .The habit of measuring every t thlng by the yardstick of wealth or fame. has become ao fixed with Americans aa to be considered national trait, and it Is difficult for the majority of us to think c a man as successful who ignores wealth or feels that there is some thing worth struggling for of, in. J finitely greater value than money We all admit that there should be something in & man's life greater than his occupation or achievement. But with most of as this is but a pleasant theory, for in the struggle tor position, power, or wealth, we fail to actu alize it in daily life. Andyet. no matter how we may lull our con sciences, the great truth, that the supreme objept of life, what ever the vocation, anouia oe to raise the man to his highest pow er, to develop bim along the line of his noblest nature remains undisputed. It is one thing to succeed in business accoi diug to the ordina ry acception; it is anotheand a totally different thing to. succeed in life. Many .ajnan has failed in business, and yet lived a truly successful life, because he has lived up to hU highest ideal. The man who does the very best be can under all circumstances, who makes the most of his ability and opportunities, who helps his fel low man whenever : it -i s in his power to do so, who gives the best of himself to every occasion. who is loyal and true In his friend ships, kindly, charitable," and magnanimous toward all, is a sue cessful man, though he may no i leave enough money to pay his funeral expenses. A noble character cannot be developed under the shadow of a low, sordid aim.;. The ideal must be high; 'the purpose, strong, worthy ani true; or the life will be a failure.. The man who is constantly scheming and plan ning to get the better of his neighbor, to drive a bargain in which the advantage will be all on his side, can never attain the dignity and grandeur of true man hood. He is really the richest, the most successful, who enriches his country the most, who gives himself with his money, who opens wider the door of opportu nity to those about him, whose benefiuet.ee and kindness enrich his neighbors. Such a man makes every acre f grouod in his community more vaju&ble,and increases the wealth of every man who lives near him. . On the oth er band, many a milliopaire im poverishes his whole neighbor hood and lessens the value of eve ry foot of land in his yiicnity, He who regards manhood, and character as the supreme objects of life may not be rich in money, but he is rich in a truer and bet ter sense; for manhood is above all riches and' overtops all titles, and character is greater than any career. ;.:' ; . ;- -V Refreshing as an oasis or a gushing fountain in a dreary des ert, is the sight of a man iq this money-mad age - for. whom the glitter pi gold bus no attraction. Snob it one is John Burroughs, that great soul whq lives-near the heart of nature, who draws sweet cess and strength from commun ion with her, whose daily fife is rich beyond the wildest dream of the millionaire. 1 Mr. Burroughs believes that a man is a failure, even though be have millions," whose mind has been, trained in mere shrewdness in alertnesa to take advantage ol bis competitor's weakness,- to get ahead of others,' to be sharp. eagle eyed for the wk-ak place in a rival's armor. f; He sees no sue-: cess in using a stepping stone to elevation those unfortunates wi6 have fallen 'behind in '.he raca He thinks that the only success worth striving for is that wbicb comes from the consciousness of growing higher and broader and deeper in mental and moral pow er every day. from the dally ex panding and unfolding of the fC- nines wnicn permit tueivavivi i . . i i . i . troth to permeate the whole be ing. . vi:':Z'.- f-'H- ' ;v; tTbe great naturalist feels thta many man dwarfs his manhood, cramps his Intellect, crashes his aspiration and blurs ' his finer sensibilities la some narrow ocou pation, because, perchance, they m,ay be a fortune Id it :f He thinks that - a ' hod -carrier may be Infi nitely superior, to the millionaire under whose bricks be staggers; that it is a contemptible estimate of a . vocation . to look on it as a mere means of getting rich; that, if 4 1 does not develop the higher manhood and lead to a larger, no bier life, it is unworthy of the man. This nature lover believes that the beauty and the sweetness of life are lost U the great majority of people who are infatuated with the glamour of money. He has so trained his eye by close ob servation of the processes of na ture that it is a perpetual magni fying glass, revealing beauties invisible to the uncultivated eye. His simple life of high thinking plain living, and carefuf study, opens to him a thousand new avenues of enjoyment, undream ed of by those who are engaged in the pursuit of wealth. Here is a man who sees beauty and true riches everywhere, who is not blinded by the glitter of gold, who "worships the splendor of God which he sees bursting through every chink and cran y." Like Thoreau, Phillips Brooks, Agassis and Beecher, he sees beauty in the flower, glory in the grass, "books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, tnd good in everything." In the quiet forest beyond the reach of the city's din or any ar tificial noises except the distant soreech of the locomotive, this high priest of nature holds daily heart to heart talks with the great goddess at whose shrine he rev ereotty worships.

He must je self relianr, depending on his own energies lor success, roe man who depends upon some body else for bis opinions and what to do, always keeps on do pending and is dependent The greatest heroes of the battle field Napoleon, Hannibal, Cromwell. Wellington, Grant, Sherman, Lee Jackson and others the greatest orators and statesmen, were men who were self reliant and made fame and fortune. Their self re liance, moral courage and brav ery were their capital. In busi ness, as in most anything els, success is tne pain oi com mou sense; nothing can come by luck, but what we make ourselves, through or by our owniodepen dent energies. The boy or man when he feels that he has bis own way to make and depends upon bis own exertions, gets to the front and never dies in a poor bouse. Necessity is to many the spur that sets tne energies in motiou, and when it does no: urge a man onward in the right he falls by the wayside. What we achieve ourselves makes us honored and respected. When you build for yourself you aid society, A man should be judged by what he does, not by what hi father did. He sh uld strive to maintain his reputation aud po. siUon injustice to bis-family acd society, Many of the greatest fortuues ever accumulated were secured by honest endeavor, by men who started without capital all they had was energy, perse verence ami good common prao ileal" sense.

Graham, Parker, Em ery, Mitchell, Sewell and Fleming regarding the aims and objects of the Alliance and inaugurating more profitable system of farm ingand protecting the agricultu ral interests' ..The address was highly endorsed by the body. The" two most'itnportant reso lutions passed were as follows: -Whereas, the North Carolina Farmers Stale Alliance has been from the time of its foundation the earnest friend of education,' and whereas there is now imper ative necessity for greater school advantages within the borders of North Carolina tian ever before Now ba it, s Resolved, That the Legislature of North Carolina be and hereby j is, petitioned. -"'j 1st.

A resolution was passed on the death of Ex Governor Elias Carr, ex president of the Slate Alliance also resolutions thanking Presi dent Winston of the A. and M College for an excellent address before the body commending and endorsing the official organ, The Progressive Farmer, acd its non partisan policy, and appointing u committee to confer with the A. rnd M- College authorities about the educatior at the college of practical and theorietical farm ers. President Graham was detain ed at home by illness is his family i The Alliance will put additional lecturers in the field and hope to double the membership during this year. The Alliance also decided !'i offer a number of premiums for agricultural displays at the Stat j Fair in October. ' Editor Poe of Progressive Far mar. when asked about the pres ent and future of the order, said: "I never care to refer to the po! ftics of Alliance officials, as such matters Lare not considered in their selection, but, to show the falisil'y of the prejudice of some, la may: be well to aa that the GoimtifiMion Seadaclie,btliouincs,heartbam. trkth gastloo, and all llrer ilia are cured by Hood's; PHIs U .

The prejudice against the Alliance is rapidly dying out and the outlook for re organization is very bright Democrats, Populist, Prohibition ists and Bopublicans attended the State meeting, all worked in harmony and devoted themselves to the agricultural and education al lines along with the Alliance will work, and all will assist I n the re-orgaciziation to be effected this fall and winter." A Scathing Arraingraent Norfolk Landmark. Sixto Ltpez, the represents tive of the Filipinos in London, has addressed to Col, O'Farrell President of the Acti-Imperialis-tic League of Washington, D. C. a letter -which presents with re markable strength the Filipino case against the government of the United States. It makes no difference wheth er Lopez wrote the letter himself or not. We have no doubt that he did write it; for it is well at tested that the educated Pbilipi nos are men who would make their mark in any country, and it is presumable tbat one of their ablest men would have been s nt to the English capital. We should like to give the whole of Senor Lopez's argument, but we shall have to .content ourselves with quoting wbat strikes us as the most effective portion: "What we say, not to the people of America, but to the Administration, is as follows: Do you want means to 3ecure protection to life and prop erty? Then take whatever means are necessary. Do you want to secure rights in lieu of services rendered to na? You shall have all that you de demand. Do you want to Bee a stablb government established in the is lands? So do we; come and help ns or come and supervise while we es tablish it for ourselves. Do you want lepayment in whole or in part of the $30,000,000 too hastily paid to a defeated foe? Do you want trade concessions? Do you require a basis of operations in the Far East? Do you want coaling stations, or any conceivable thing which we are able to give or find? Come and take all these things. Do you want to hu miliate us, and prove your own mili tary strength? Impossible! there could be no nobility,of character, no, 'prestige to arms,' no 'honor to the Hag' in the strong humiliating the weak, especially when it is remem bered that 'the weak' once gave whatever strength it had in support of the arms of the strong. "Then there is ouly one thing left Do you want our country? We can not believe you do. With all your millions of miles of territory, with all your illimitable wealth, with the vastness of your commerce, with the rights and concessions which we are prepared to yield to you, we cannot believe that you also want our coun try. But if you do want it, why not say so? Why talk of philonthropy, and 'peace' and 'charity' and 'liber ty of opportunity' and the task whioh Providence has placed upon you. Why speak of refusing to accede to imaginary demands whioh we never made at to the immediate withdraw al of your forces.? If it was your intention from the first to seize our country. Why did you seek and ao oept our aid in the conquest of our native land? Why did you telegraph to us, 'Come as soon as possibe'? Why do you now seek to belittle our aid. Why do you charge ns with having been bribed- and then allow us to spend the 'bribe' in warfare against i your enemy? Why did you awake ns from the delightful slfep into which, you assert we had been lulled by your 'bribery'? Why did you allow us to cherish for mouths the belief that wo were to lave national liberty and independence? Why did you not tell us at first that it was your intention to annex the Philippines? ! Why did. you say that 'annexation was not to be thought of,' and that 'by your oode of morality? it would be criminal aggression'? Why did yon not say boldly that yon intended to take our country, and that you would be satisfied with nothing else. Why did you toot plead at onoe that 'might b right and 'hare-dons with the- wretched mess of misoonstrac-rion,-' as Colonel Denby elegantly ex pressed it?' Now, that sarcasm is seaich- tog. It goes straight tbrousjk the sanctfned veneer with bich th" Pfbsident has so heavily coated the .commercialism of htsPhil ipplne poliey Not one point is madesjby Senor Lpez that does not rest upon admitted fact. fcihamerul subterfuges v ere em ployed to make the Filipinos trust us without receiving any direct and specific assurance from us In addition to pointing to our promise to Cuba, our leading mil itary representative answered embarrassingquestions by refer r ing Qthe Filipinos to American history. Geo, Tbos, M. Ander s u, when Aguinaldo in an official conference pressed him for i; declaration of the purpose of tb United States, replied that wbiL it was impossible logiveadeci sive assurance without Jocgress ional action, the United States had never waged a war of con quest or forcibly aunexed any country. The sarcasm of Senor Lopoz is justified. The Negro and the Cam paign. Asheville Citizen. There is a disposition in some quarters to hoist the anti negro flag in the coming presidential campaign in North Carolina. The Democrats of this state have but recently fought a momentou.- battle on this issue and won a signal victory. Through all the campaign, wbicb was one of the hottest ever waged in this state.it was declared that the ratification of the amendment would settle the negro question, at least for many years. It is true that the amendment does not become op erative until 1902, and it is like wise true that the negro is still with us, as he was in the past campaign, but we fail to see in these facts sufficient justification for pitching the November cam paign on the negro plane. In the first place, it is entirely too hot to think of two anti negro cam paigns in one year; iu the second place, it was generally believed that the negro question was to be shelved when the amendment was adopted; and, thirdly, the people of North Carolina must come to fight out their oh mpaigns without the negro as a prominent figure and there is no bettr r time to begin than right now Let the fall campaign be a fair stand-up fight on the great issues that confront the 'American peo ple, and test the question wheth er North Carolina is Democratic. We have no doubt as to the re sult. This state has emerged from the da. k wood of negro domina tion, and we see no good reason for racking it with another anti negro campaign. Besides, the state might refuse to be racked. If, however, the Republicans show a disposition to make e. great to do'over the negro and thus force the question into the campaign the Democratic party will be found willing and able to entertain tbem A. Minister's Good Work. "I had a severe attack of bilious colic, got a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Reme dy, took two doses and was entirely cured," says Rev. A. A. Power, of Emporia, Kan. 'My neighbor across the street was sick for over a week, had two or three bottles of medicine from the doctor. He used them for three or four days without relief, then called in another doctor who treated him for some days and gave him no relief, so discharged him. I went over to see him the next morning. He said his bowels were lu a terrible fix, that they had been running off so long that it was almost bloody flux. 1 asked him if he had tried Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and he said, 'No.' I went home and brought him my bottle and gave him one dose, told mm to taxe anoiner dose In fifteen or twenty trinntea if he did not find relief, but he took no more and-was entirely cured,-: For sale by Rich Square Drug Oo. ,' -'Through the months of June and July, our baby was teething and took a running off ot the bowels and siokneaa of the stomach.
