This is the age of concentra- tration and specialization, of the mastery of one, or, at the most, of a few things.

Don’t try to do a little arpe ury, or bkeksmithing, or wagon making, to help out the hoe business, Forcus all your energies on shoes. Be a shoe expert. The few who climb to great success are the ones who master not oni but all the details of their business, and let other businesses alone. BE PUNCTUAL. Keep your business appoint ments to the minute. You would not think of robbing your busi ness associates of money; why then steel his time, which is more precious to him than n^oney. by failing to keep an appoint ment or by coming late? Noth ing begets confidenc quicker than punctuality; and confidence is the soul of business. Di-trust d success never go into part- ne. ship. “Punctuality is the po liteness of kings”, said Louis XIV It is much more than this; it is the duty of all who need or use the time of others.

Time is the most important as set that a business man possesses; yet he cannot hoard it,, cannot ihcrease it by any manner of business acumen, and he ihust spend it continuously. He can only control its use. Every day is exactally the same length to youthatitisto 'our business com- petitor.s; but the way each day shall be employ, d by yourself-is for yourself alone to say. And right here is where Time hands out success or failure. If your competitor, and all have compe titors. devote,- a part of his time outside of regular business hours to the study of how he can better his business, while you idle yours away, he will certainly get the start of you. If he is more dili gent of his time during business hours than you are, he will get the start of you. If you are a dawdler, a time waster, an idler, you can never succeed. Learn the value of time. You can waste years o. it; but you cannot make the smallest fraction of a second. AIM H.GH; BUT' LOAD UP BEFORE YOU AIM. ..

R.L.Gay made a talk and the afternoon was spent pleasantly. Mr. James Mitchell wilK addrhss the next educational meeting some time in the near future. Postmaster Early has been sick for several days, but has come out again not much the worse for confinement. Advices from Dr. C. G. Powell of Potecasi authorizes us to an nounce that he will locate in our town in the near future.

Harvey, of Fort Erie, reports that crops in that part of the Canadian Province of Ontario are very light and prices for hay and grain are very high. The consul’s details follow. Oats are thrashing out about 40 per cent of a crop, wheat and corn are only half crops, potatoes 25 p'sr cent, and hay 75 per cent of a crop. The shortage was caused by the winterkilling of wheat and clover and extremely dry weather from May to Sep tember. Hay last year was scarce and high in the United States, and American buyers scoured On tario, buying all the farmers' surplus, paying $10 to $16 per ton, on which they paid $4 ner gross ton duty, and sold in Buf fifj as high as $35. Some far- hit the mark. In life’s great- borly people; and we hope his hunt, few—very few—hit success I every expectation will be full- filled, and that he may cast his iTie lew who hit, loaded careful ly; the n.aiiy who missed, loaded carelessly.

Load up before you aim; but do not try to make a cannon out of a twelve-boie shotgun, and ti en curse your luck if the gun bursts Load according to the weight and caliber of your gun. A lower mark will hit it better than a shat ered gun and burnt powder. Load up before you aim, but, if yuu are looking for big game,use a Dig gun and put in a big load, li you wish to become a great man, load for it; but don’t go hunting elephants with a squir rel gun loaded With pigeon-shot. GET THE PERSERVANCE HABIT. W. Mason Writss lo Favor Candi dacy ot Herllfli'd Man For At torney General From Charlotte Observer. To the Editor of the Observer; I wish to remind the readers of the Observer that my friend and neighbor, B. B. Win borne, of Hertford county, is a candidate for the offie’e of Attorney Genera! at the hands of the nominating convention of the Democratic party and that we are fortunate in haying him to tender his ser vices for that important office. Those af us who live closest to Mr. Winborne and know him best will earnestly ask our next con vention to nominate him, There is hardly any need to mention his fitness as a lawyer; his work in our courts and in our Legislature, where he has often represented his people, has placed him in the front of his profession. He is not only a close and diligent stu dent of the law but he has for many years enj 'lyed a large and successful practice. Few, indeed are furnished with as full knowledge as he of the decisions of our courts and the reasons of them. Mr. Winborne has always lived under and borne with brave hands the standar/i of the Demo cratic party. He has never wav ered. In the day of party dis aster and political gloom his voice has never given forth an uncer tain note and he is to-day the safe and trusted political leader of his county. It is a pleasure to think of him and to speak of him as a neigh bor, and his beautiful home life, with the silent influence of his example, leading the people of his community to think and to live rightly. He is a great lover of his people and, in his riper years, has given his pen, in leis- oments, tc- a record of their lives, dedicating his work, “To sssmmsmmmm Murfreesboro, N, C, We wish to announce that Our Stock of .

If every boy will bear this in mind, every boy aiming for the top round of the ladder, you will find that you have one of the greatest obstructions under your control, and this obstacle of try ing to imitate somebody else has hindered more achievements than any other trait and been respon sible for more failures than we can conceive. No boy will ever succeed in any undertaking, be his aim high or commonplace, unless he acts his , own self, acts natural and im presses his own individuality up on his work and his co-workers. Be natural. Be yourself. Abhor affectation; feel your character istic virtues; be truth and reali ty, and remember, “ Truth is simple, requiring neither Sttfdy nor Art.” And some one has truly said: “Affectation is a greater enemy to the face than the small pox. ’ ’— Ada B.

The roai to successes paved liter ally miles deep with the bones of the victims of the drink devil; and yet, thousands, with wide- open seeing eyes and feet tread ing these very bones, are at ail times gradually yielding, soul and body, to the hypnotic glare ol the Imp of the Bottle.
