Christian Work and Evangelist
Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the
Government pure food and drug
expert, has joined the Non
Smokers of America, an organi
zation whose object is to dis
courage smoking in public. "I
predict that within twelve vears
smoking and. tobacco chewing in
public will i have become obso
lete," said Dr. Wiley. "A man
has a perfect right to drink, chew
or dip snuff in bis private sanc
tum,but he has not the shadowof
a right to inflict unwholesome
smoke and his vile breath on the
community at large. There should
be a strictly enforced law prohib
iting smoking and chewing in
public places or.on the cars where
other persons are obliged to be.
College students, a brand of ani
mal that is not noted for dainti
ness or regard for feeling of
others, will crawl underjthe grand
stand to take a pull from the bot
tle that curses. Even these fel
lows will not drink openly so
that their fellow-citizens can
watch them, and the same thing
will come to pass as regards to
hacco within the next few years"

The Nortbimpton County Teachers'
AssoclaMoa.
Friday, July 21, marked the
close of the most successful
Teachers' Institute that has ever
been conducted in Northampton
county.- Before the teachers
separated, an hour was devoted
to the reorganization of the
Northampton County Teachers'
Association. The following offi
cers were elected for the coming
school year: President, F. M.
Williamson of Con way; Vice
President, Mr P. J. Long; Secre
tory, Miss Margaret C. Brown of
George. The other offices will be
filled at the regular meeting of
the Association.
Our Association, heretofore,
has been a potent factor in the
school work of this county but
we fee) that our work has been
handicapped to a great extent by
waitine till the short term schools
open to begin our meetings. The
disagreeable weather and the dis
tance that many of the teachers
live from the meeting places make
it impossible for them to attend.
In organizing this time we adopt
ed a plan by which we hope to
make the Association an invalu
able aid to every teacher in the
county. At the first regular
meeting, the county will be di
vided into districts and a vice
president of the Association will
be appointed for each district.
It will be the duty of these vice-
presidents to call meetings of
the teachers in their respective
districts at convenient places and
organize district associations
which will hold meetings as of
ten as will be practicable.
One of the greatest obstacles
in the way of school progress in
our State is lack of uniformity in
methods of work. In one dis
trict one method is being used
and in an adjoining district an
entirely different work is being
done. Also the teachers are
constantly changing places and
as often as this is done a different
method is put into use.' Espec
ially is this so in the primary
grades. Our Association is go
ing to try to adopt, as far as is
possible, some definite methods
for our schools and have them
worked out by the teachers in
the district meetings.
In our Teachers' Institute, Mr.
Coon aroused all of us to a sense
of our duties as we have, per
haps, never been aroused before
and we know that every good
teacher in the county is going to
co operate with us in the work
we have undertaken.

The Durham Herald correctly
observes: "For a wonder none
of them are denying that the
National platform said it."
Any now, who brought in that
lumber plank and what interest
demanded free lumber?
Who's got millions invested in
the lumber business in Canada
and wants a nice free market in
the country which thev deserted
for Uanada?
What part of the United States
wants protection on every blast
ed thing it has to sell to other
people and doesen't want even a
revenue duty on what it has to
buv from North Carolina and
other people?
Who went from the South to
thf National Democratic conven
tion and didn't know enough to
keep from getting hit over the
head with the lumber plank?
Who didn't find out that Billy
Patterson was struck till they re
turned to North Carolina and
heard him yelling in the piney
woods?
Who is a hog for protection on
what it manufactures and sells to
the South, and is two hogs for
free raw material from the South?
Who wants both feet in the
feed trough and his head in the
fodder rack, all at the same
time?
Who wants to buy free raw
material cheap and sell protected
manufactured products at the
highest prices that a trust can
fix them?
Who is the Simple Simon that
wants to pfay in an "open and
shut game" when it is the other
fellows game?
Who simply wants fair play
when Congress levies a tariff for
revenue or a tariff "for revenue
and protection?
Who winks the other eye when
they plainly see a chump?
Who wrote the lumber circu
lar, and why?
Who saw it first, that free lum
ber had knot holes in it?
What two Senators and nine
Congressmen veted right when
they saw the Aldrich game play
ing protected manufactures
against Southern free raw ma
terials?, ' What North Carolinian will
give the other felbw a stick to
break his head?
Who thinks the majority of
North Carolinians are nutty ?
Who thinks a 7 per cent duty
on lumber is protection enough
to buy a gangplank?
Who had better quit monkey
ing with the buzz-saw?

"Does prohibition prohibit? I
refer to the law prohibiting bur
glarv. It seems impossible to
stop burglars. Shall we license
them so as to at least get some
revenue out of what we can't
prevent?" A correspondent has
this to say in the Wilmington
Star. The communication is
short, but full of sound logic. The
law against selling liquor and the
law against burglary are both
violated. There is no man living
that would say repeal the law
against burglary, and yet there
is as much sense in repealing
that as in repealing the law that
says no whiskey can be sold with
in the State. And it is just as
much an officer's business to run
down blind tigers as it is to run
down burglars.

about the streets, take horse
back or auto rides in all sorts of
weather with nothing on her

"What is ment by auto-suggestion?"
.Writes a correspondent.
The phrase simolv signifies self
suggestion to good ends. For
instance, if one particularly dis
iiks to do something one ought,
one may conquer tho disinclina
tion by resolutely saying ovef
words expressing the necessity
of doing the thing at once and
with pleasure. The person who
is afraid to go upstairs in the
dark may, it is said, overcome
this fear by saying, "I am not
afraid, darkness is friendly, no
thing can hurt me." The under
lying idea is that the mind is the
real ruler of the body, and that
by allowing the mind to take
command of a situation from the
higher and not the lower pointiof
view, ill may be vanquished.
