City And Conntry Boys.
A cooniry boy's lack of oppor
tunity is his best equipment for
thp serious r ts ugele of life This
sounds paradoxical, hut it is true
It is just as true . as the opposite
pioposition, that tbe greatest hin
d ranees a c ity boy has to contend
with are the opportunities which
beset him when young and pur
sues him till be - begins the real
businessof life a business which
each individual must carry on for
himself. For tbe city boy every
thing is mad as easy as possible
Pven pleasure becomes to him an
old story before be is out of his
teens. Brought up in the fever
ish rush of a place where great
things are happening day by day,
be sees the world with a cynic's
eyes and despises tbe small
things which, like the brick in a
house, ga to the upbuilding of
characters and careers. He be
lieves in using large markers in
the game of life; for peonies and
small units of value be has little
taste x nd sctut regard.
The conditions surrounding
iapcouutry boy are as different
as possible. There is a great
deal of regular "vork that every
country bo .must do. and this
regularity of employment, most
ly out of. doors, inculcates indus
trious habits, while it contributes
to a physical development which
in after years is just as valuable
as any athletic : training that can
be bad. . He can not run as fas,
perhaps, as 'hose trained by a
system; he may rot be able to
jump so high or so far, or excel
in any of the sports upon which
we bestow so much time and
from which we get so much of
pleasure, bu his development en
bleshim to buckle down to tbe
hard work in which hours are
consumed and from which very
little or co immediate pleasure is
extracted. , His strength in ay be
something like that of the car;

Enthusiasm is the spur fo en
Ideavor, and at the same time it is
the savijr jf life, says Brandur's
Magazine. Toe country boy whose
ambition has takeu him to town
comes filled with . enthusiasm
Even tbe little things are novel
lies to him, and as he accomplisb
es this or that he feelsThat he is
doiog something not only inter
estiog, but valuable. His simple
tastes have not been spoiled by a
i multiplicity of gratifications, and
! so he is glad of everything good
that comes in his way. At 30. if
be Kads a cleau life, be has uuoie
of the boy In him than his city
cousin has left at 15 - He does
wh it is before him because it is
his duty, while- tbe other is too
apt cyiiically to question the val

What is the use?"

A few clays ago we were on a

with sundry baggage.
We proceeded with our writing.
Tbe train stopped at a station.
Happening to look up we saw two
ladies enteriug the car. As straight
as a bee flies to its tree, they went
to the onlv man iu tht car that -was
busy and halted at his Seat with
that afore mentioned look on their

the coal bunker, we scribbled
away.
Divers thoughts meandered
through our mind. We did not
remember a single word of thanks.
We asked ourselves the ques

We felt like a simpleton, and then
asked ourselves: "Is there not a
time when politeness ceases to be

The Besult of Mix'ng Sand and clay

NEWBERN. N- IV I
. tsept. 25, 1902.
Dear Sir: I am pleased to le

A mile and a quarter of tbe
road, has been clayed to a depth.
uf 12 mcbeji, witu good clay (ibis
was formerly sand road), and
ub or ttiree inches of sand
spread ovar the clay. For some-
lime tne travel cut and rutted
the road and mane a very rough
suriace, but it is now packing

very little attention, smoothing

About $6C0.' per mile is the to

William Dunn.
In almost eny of the eastern or
middle counties of North Carol i
na, where a good supply of clay
is obtainable, the cost, of building
these saud clay roads should not
exceed $150 to $250 per mile, and
when we consider their wearing
and lasting qualities (20 to 25
years), it will be easy to recognize

New Use for Refined Paraf-
. fine Wax.
A Ee.w rnd important use for Bo
fined Paraffke Wax seems to have
been discovered by a prominent
resident cf Ohio, living near Lan
castt r, who iiad two - trees badly
damaged by storm, one beiug a
maple aud the otber an apple. In
each c;sse a large limB waSsbroken
down from tbe trunk, but still at
tached o it. The limbs were prop
ped up and fastened securely with
straps, very much as a broken leg
might be fastened with splints,
and then melted refined was pour
ed into and over all the cracks
The "surgical operation" was en
tirely successful. The Paraffine
pi evented the escape of the sap,
kept out the rain and moisture
which would have rotted the treos,
prevented the depredations of in
sects, and tbe limbs seem thus far
to be perfectly re-attached to the
trees.
The Way It Goes
It is amazing to see a crowd of
men stand patiently,for two hours
ou a hillside in the hot sun and
listen to an indifferent speaker
wander over the history of the
State for the past forty years,
bringing to view tbe same old
jokes tnat have done service
since Vance's day, and yet these
meo never murmer. and on
next Sunday these same gentle
men fall asleep sweetly under
the preaching of a man who
knows bow to use tbe English lan
guage, and who is giving them
something upon wbich they may
reallv feed. But that is tbe way
it goes. Charity and Children.
Completing the Trust Circle
While it has become a diffic. It

find foosjfor thought in this ot .

The present prospect of the com
pany is that it will have to import
material.
This is a new form of tyranny
on the part of the Trusts. Tbf
Beef Trust has said that no man
shall do business for it that does
not obey its orders as to prices,
and the Coal Trust has assumed
that it has a divine right to do
business without regard to what
the masses want or are entitled
to, wljile the great majority of
these modernized monopolies op
erate so as to get more than their
products wduld be worth under
normal conditions of trade and
production. But the Steal Trust
does not propose to stop with
this direct assault upon the
wealth and prosperity of the coun
try. It has larce collateral iuter
ests. such as railroads, ore mines
and shipping. It will sell no rails
to build rival roads. It is a logi
cal conclusion that someday it
would sell no steel for vessels to
ventsr into competition with its
boats or structural steel to be
used for any. purpose by a compe
titor iu business. Even iu the
main case explained, if the state
ments given out by the company
can be proved, there is just sucb
t conspiracy as the Government
is after, and the chance should
not be overlooked From the

Live By Work, Not By Wits;
"We neetf to get our people
back to the idea that they must
earn a living, not secured by
doubtful methods 'and modern
tricks of trade," says C. E, Vaw
ter.'of the Miller Manual School
Happy will be our beloved
South when such . schools of in
dustry shall be built up for all;
when our young men learn that
the highest type of man' ood is
shown in him who by honest in
dustry supplies tbe wants of him
self and th jse dependent on him.
It is a most lamentable fact
that many, very many, of our
young men after leaving school,
have no way of making a living
unless they go to teaching. The
result is that we have a very
large class of young men waiting
for something to turn up, wno
think they are educated, who are
too proud to work and who are
too poor to live without work.
The few who succeed in getting
an office or win ni ng a-place that
pays make tbe exception. The
many who must earn a livelihood
by the sweat of the brow make
the rule. Let us, then,-educate
the masses so that they can the
better gain their living, Let this
be the rule; .the exception will

to call their attention to the fact
that in his inaugural speech he
declared, that if the present laws
were not sufficient to prevent mo

to enact others, for, said he,
