Then whv not prevent it? Every case is contracted, by means of srerms from some other consumptive. If you get con sumption, you may consider it a monument to oome other con sumptive's ignorance, careless ness, or negligence. If you give, or. make others liable to consump tion, you are guilty of , criminal negligence and deserve to be punished. Consumption would be extinct in less than five years if all con sumptives would exercise the proper precautions. This may mean you. Thousands of people in our State have consumption and do not know it. Many of them go about spitting, coughing, sneezing, in a careless manner, making their friends and asso ciates most liable to the disease. Many oth'erj who may not have the disease are equally guilty of such filthy habits. Does this mean you? Don't spit! Oh, you sav, that is an old saw. So it is, but it is one ounce of prevention which anv one can easily supply. Nine ty five per cent of the spitting is unnecessary. This an insanitary practice confined largely to the men; To be sure, it is filthy and dangerous to swallow mucus and phlegm coughed up. It is far better to rid the system of this secretion than to allow any part of it to enter the stomach. But, if spit you must, even this can be done in such a manner as to reduce the danger to a minimum At home, spit only in the fire or in a spittoon. Keep water in the spittoon. Empty it daily and scald it out with boiling water. An excellent precaution is to add a half tablet of mercuric bichlo ride to the water in the . spit toon when it is returned for use. Carbolic acid or calcium hyohch- loriteare also good, but they emit slight odors. Disinfectants injure brass spittoons. In public, never spit- on side walk or where it may come in contact with the skirts or clothes of others, or become dried and stirred up as dust. Spit in the water in the gutters or in sewer inlets. Spit in the sunlight, as bright sunlight will ; kill the germs of consumption before they can become dry and v float off as dust. Sneeze, cough, or spit in a handkerchief or, better still, use a paper napkin and burn after using. Consumptives should U86 Bpit-CUPS. ';'v V ' Whenever you see a careless spitter, consider him as a roan dangerous to society' and an ene my to mankind. Avoid him, and beware that others can not so re gard you. :: j''"-' ' . wmtaeti Iastltute. Whitaett Institute at Whitsett, N. C, advertised in the Times the past season.

Stanley Hol- lis, Beirut, Aatic lurkey ) In Daily Cousular and Trade Reports for October 10, 1911. the following item appeared: Cotton in Palestine. Large tracts of land have been purchas ed in the region of Haifa and Akka by George Eid for cotton growing. The tenants are to be supplied with seed and all mod ern agricultural implements. With reference to thid report ed transaction the American con sular agent at Haifa now reports as follows: George Eid. a cotton grower of Egypt, has bought from Mr. Sur sock the farm lands of three vil lages called Jedro, Goffretta, and Mesbdel. The transfer of these lands to Mr. Eid can not be made a present; therefoie he has made a contract with Mr. Sursock. ac cording to wihch he has leased the three villages for nine years at 35,000 f ranees $6,755per vear. Mr. Sursock aust transfer the title to the land to Mr. Eid tt any time within the nine yeare, as soon as the latter finds it con venient. Mr. Sursock's former factors, or agents, are engaged to work for Mr. Eid for a period of three years, at a certain part of the net income as commission. Mr. Eid has sent from Egypt 4 of his old steam plows, but they are not yet complete here. The land of these villages, which is about 120,000 acres, is mostly marshy and needs drain' ing; in 1912 only the better land of about 50.000 acres can be cut tivated. It is said tnat Mr. Eid is also negotiating with Mr. Sursock for his land in the district of Nazar eth, on which he intends also to plant cotton. He hopes likewise to interest the independent vil lages of the neighborhood in cot ton growing, and offers to culti vate their land with his steam plows for a certain part of the crop. Mr. Asfar, who is trying at Constantinople to get the Shiftlic land (Sultan Abdul Hamid's pri vate lands), is dealing for Mr. Eid, and this area is also intend ed for cotton growing. Pointed Paragraphs. From the Chicago News. The earth was a revolver be fore firearms were invented. Truth is stranger than fiction and usually more unsatisfac tory It always makes a boy hungry when he sees another boy eat ing.: The man who makes the least noise is often the most danger ous. . "' ..v.- No man is an optician just be cause he makes a spectacle of himself. The man who is his own worst enemy always attempts to shift the blame. It's a case of love's labor lost if a man admires a woman and doesn't tell her so. - : Love at first sight is a good deal like looking through the wrong end of a telescope. ! . Every girl honestly believes that when she gets married her husband will be different and the chances are that he will.". If some wives would only shut up when their husbands tell Jthem to a lot of divorce judges would have to hunt other jobs. The trouble with a man of few words is that he generally boasts so over his accomplishment. Ex. ) Subscribe to the Times.

The. , firm of Wynn Bros, by mutual consent has been dissolv ed and notice is hereby given to all parties owing said firm to set tle at once at office of Wynn Bros, We desire to thank our customers and the public gener ally for the liberal patronage the firm has enjoyed and request a continuance of your patronage with successor, Thos. B. Wynn, who will, continue the business under the firm name of Wynn Bros, -v Thos. B. Wynn. J. S. Wynn, It ffe All Voiitd I Jf. Burlington New. Recently tbp writer was going down the street behind several jolly girls and when they came to a nail driven through a board with the point up, one stopped and took great piins to turn it down, saying that it might ruin somebody's foot. How thought ful we all say. But the writer thought too. how different this world would be if everybody going xlong the lane of life would take the pains to turn down all the sharp thorns of criticism and malice and anger. How easy it would be for a community to change itself from heart to con duct if every one in it would on ly take time and use the fore thought in all that pertains to another's happiness. How mary useless, foolish, unkind things are said, things which can bring profit to no one, and must stir up strife and embitter hatred, things which would not be said if a little forethought had been exercised. No one is so mean that we ought to desire his ill will, no one so helpless that he might not be able to do you a good turn some day, no one so insignificant that you can afford to make him suffer by needless thrusts and unkind neg lects. Tbe Han of Peace. . For he who lights the lamp of aspiration in his brotner 's breast and never through quarrel quen ches it; he who meets scowls with smiles, storms with calm; indignity i-with manly foubear- ancf i ihdd-beeomthson of God and the architect of civil zv tion. Of one general it is said that his presence through inspi ration and ptemulus was woith a regiment of men. Thus one buoy ant, cheerful, secrene, and sel -sufficing Christian or woman, whose personality exhales peace, means good fortune to the repub lic. The real beauty of the Chris tian life does not appear until gianthood has become gentle, until the man of war has inflect ed his strength toward peace, un till the hero disdains to break the bruised reed or quench the smoking flax. For the man of peace is he who bringeth judg ment unto victory. Rev. Newell DwightHills.D. D.,in the Christ ian Herald, Great Drop" In immigration. Christian Work One of the surprises of 1911 was the enormous drop in the imigration figures. The slump was one of the greatest ever re corded at the port of New York, about 300,000 fewer lmigrants being landed than in 1910, when 1.102.939 came to Ellis Islat d. The incoming tide of humanity is lower now than any time since 1908. "The decrease may mean one of several things" said Wil liam Williams, Commissioner of Immigration. "It may rneaa that industrial conditions here are much disturbed; it may raeua that third. cla33 passengers ate more prosperous and are going to and fro more than usual, or that tbe long looked for natural ebb in the tide has come.

The recent severe cold weather caused many to recount the se vere cold and suffering of other d'ivs and many of our x :har,es ho ve contaned interesting iem miniscences. of other davs. Mr. E. T. Goodman, of Mooresville, N. C. writes in the Staeevilla Landmark of a trip across North ampton. We copy the following: Another reminiweence of cold weather was that in IK-cn-iber. 1864. Our regiment left Wash ington on Friday evening on flat cars. I was put on guard duty that night on an old flat, to euard our baggage, and it rained and snowed and froze all night. Next morning my blanket was Btiff -with ice and it was all tbe pro tection I had. Saturday evening we were unloaded at Bellfield. Va.,more dead, than alive. There were plenty of rails there and the boys soon had fires, but we had to but rails around to stand on. I slept some that night in a shed at the depot, on a 10 inch plank laid on the joists, with a fire built underneath. On Sun day we drew rations and pulled out for Weldon in box cars, verv comfortable traveling. Monday evening we unloaded at Tarboro; did not have time to build fires till the long roll beat We cross ed Tar river and marched on down toward Plymouth; stopped some time that night in an old field : erourd frozen tard as? a.' . ground. Made fires and Spread our blankets on the ground and covered with two and three in a nest. Next morning when we awoke had two or. three inches of snow on our blankets. Warm under snow. A lot of our men froze out that night so they could not ttavel. What kept us from freezing I don't know. Ask Hill Dunlap or Mel. Ramsey. Angel Becomes a Demon. The Christian Herald You may have heard tbe story of the painter's model. An Ital ian artist met one dav a child of exquisite beauty, and wishing to preserve its features, for fear he should never see such loveliness again, painted the charming face upon canvas and hung it upon the walls of his studio. In his most sombre hours that sweet countenance was like an Angel of light to him. Its presence fill ed his aoul with the purest aspi rations. "If ever I find," te said, "a perfect contrast to this beau tiful face, I will paint that also, and hang them side by side as ideals of heaven and hell." A number of years later, he saw in a prison he visited in a foreign country, the most hideous object he ever gazed upon a . fierce, haggard fiend, with glar- , ing eyei and cheeks- deeply , f u r rowed with lust and crime.;: The ' artist remembered his vow, and . , immediately painted a picture of this loathsome character, to hang - ' beside the lovely boy. The con -trast was perfect His vdreatn was realized. Imagine, then, bis , fcittaTement, when,, on inquiring imp ibe history wf this repulsive wretch, ha 'found- hat he- wA-s once the lovely L. ! The Demon had once been an wigel. , -' ; "Why do you have those glasv cases with the ex, hammer,crow. bar and m forth on those cars?" asked the traveler, ; Ob, . tho e are put in there in case any or re: 1 the facetious man.
