TO AN OLD VALENTINE.
Long year Afro, when I wm only nine.
Some on sent me the sweeten, valentine.
A sheet of gold-laced paper, with a heart
That trailed red drops where Cupid fixed hi dart;
Fonrer-me-noUi grouped in a wreath of blue.
And underneath, "Love me. u I love you."
While on the inner pajre, writ small and fine.
"You are my only, only valentine."
To-day the carrier left me at the door,
A stack of tokens, quite a Rood I y score
Chocolates from New York, bonbons from Boston;
A dainty fan. with Cupids painted on.
One sent white rosea. "Love he dared not speak,"
And one sent red. "To blush beside my cheek."
But, ah, not one spoke to this heart of mine
As did by o Wen. golden valentine.
I take it from its secret hiding place.
BriKht as the day it came; time left no trace
Upon its words of love and brilliant hue;
1 read strain, "Love me as I love you."
How well does memory brinir me back the day
I saw him ring the bell and run away.
My Ameers trembled o'er the owning then;
My heart has never beat like that again.
Old-fashioned love, old-fashioned valentine;
Long lost from out this fickle world of mine:
Lying beneath the February snow;
Have you forgot our love of long ago?
To dreams 1 have kept faith, to shadows true
For even as you loved me, loved I you:
And so I whisper bark these words of thine,
"You are my only, only valentine."

SAM JONES' LETTER.
Atlanta Journal.
The three days, or rather, to make
i it definite, the t!8 hours from San
Francisco to Chicago, the changes of
altitudes and climates and conditions
I of weather make the distance of
! 2,300 miles a study as you travel.
When our train pulled out of Sacra
, mento for the east there were two
i great engines hooked on to our six
cars, and we began to climb out of
I the valley into the mountain, and by
noon the next day we were 7,000
feet above Sacramento. That was
the summit. Cold as kraut, and
snow several feet deep, and from
that point we began a gradual de
cline until we came to Omaha, which
is about 900 feet above sea level.
I There is not only the much differ
' ence in altitude, but it is as differ
i ent in climate as you come up and
' come down across the foothills, the
' Sierra Nevadas and the Rockies.
I The whole trip seems like a fairy
tale or a pleasant dream. The con
I stant rains in Washington and Ore
1 gon during my stay in those states.
and then on into California, with its
blue skies, its beautiful flowers, and
bright sunshine and balmy atmos
phere. The beautiful green wheat
fields and the clear, beautiful rivers
and creeks and then the snowy-capped
mountains and the cold winds of
Utah and Wyoming. Thence out in
to the prairie lands of Iowa and Illi
nois. Thence through Chicago and
down through Illinois, Indiana, Ken
tucky, Tennessee and into old Geor
gia. How the scenes shifted and
changed along the way, and how the
roar of the train and the panorama
lingers with you after the trip is
over!
I was gone just 24 days, and I de
livered nineteen lectures and sermons
and the trip did me as much good as
if I had simply gone for pleasure and
health. I repeat what I said in a
former letter about a tour in that
country. A fellow that has the
money and is out of debt is cheating
himself if he does not make the trip.
But if he is in debt, he had better
attend to his creditors.
A fellow told me sometime ago
that he had been drinking whiskey
forty years and it never had hurt
him. I told him that I had frequent
ly heard it said that nothing would
hurt a hog. That a hog would fat
ten on poison.
But I am glad to be back with
wife and children and grandchildren
and neighbors. When a fellow gets
to be nearly sixty years old like my
self, he don't catch on to new things
much. It is the old home, it's the
old friends, and it would be the dear
old wife, if he dared think such a
thing, much less say it. The dear
old neighbors. You notice that it's
the young preachers that take up
with new doctrines and higher
thought and culture. Iregretsome
times that I was too old to catch on
to the bicycle and now the automo
bile is too much of a "spirit" for
me, but I do enjoy these electric
lighted, steam-heated palatial limited
trains of the modern times, and the
best and fastest trains in the world
run in and out of Chicago.
The difference in the value of Ohio
farming land, and Bartow county
farming land, is not so much in their
intrinsic value or their noney pro
ducting value in crops, but I believe
it is altogether in the roads. A Bar
tow county farm the product of
which would be worth more than an
Ohio farm, can be bought for $25 an
acre. In Ohio it would sell for $150
to 1250 per acre, In Ohio every road
is macadamized. Any kind of weath
er a farmer can load up with wood
or corn and trot his team all the way
to town. When a Bartow county
farmer starts to town, he must come
with a half load and tell his family
he don't know when he will get back.
A Habit tu hm KnruaracfHt
The mother who has acquired the
habit of keeping on hand a bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, saves
herself a great amount of uneasiness
and anxiety. Coughs, colds and croup
to which children are susceptible are
quickly cured by iU use. It counter
acts any tendency of a cold to result
in pneumonia, and if given as soon
as the first symptoms of croup ap
pear, it will prevent the attack. This
remedy contains nothing injurious
and mothers give it to little ones
with a feeling of perfect security.

ALBEMARLE'S PROGRESS. .
New Manufacturing Enterprises Estab
j lished 50 Residences Erected Net
I a Single Failure During the Year.
I The correspondent of the Charlotte
Observer at this place writes as fol
: lows of Albemarle's progress during
i 1105: .
j From an industrial point of view,
the year 1905 was a good one for Al
; bemarle. The Wiscassett Mills Co.
I built and equipped mill No. 3. This
j was done entirely out of the surplus,
and vet the mill has paid a regular 4
per cent, semi-annual dividend. This
i is one of the best equipped and most
! prosperous mills in the State,
j The Lillian Knitting Mill Co.. with
: a paid-in capital of $30,000 was or
' ganized with the following officers':
j K. A. Crowell, president; A. L. Pat
, terson, secretary and treasurer. This
company has just completed its
handsome plant and is now engaged
in the manufacture of fine hosiery.
I The mill is equipped with the most
; improved machinery in every depart
ment. : The Albemarle Real Estate & In
surance Co. was organized with S.
! H. Hearne, president, and E. M. As
bury, secretary and treasurer. This
company has handsome offices in the
Loan & Trust Co's. building, where
they will do a general real estate and
insurance business. It has already
purchased 25 acres of beautiful land
in South Albemarle and is improving
the same for residences.
The Albemarle Light & Motor Co.
was chartered with a capita) of $25,
. 000, with J. M. Morrow president,
and J. S. Efird, secretary and treas
urer. During this year they hope
to install a light and motor system
for the town. I
The Albemarle Mantel Co. has just
1 been chartered with an authorized
: capital of $25,000 and paid-in capital
of $,000. R. L. Smith is president
'and J. M. Morrow is secretary and
S treasurer. This company will begin
at once to erect its building and in
stall its machinery for the manufac
! ture of mantels, store and office fur
niture and fixtures of all kinds.
All the old manufacturing plants,
banks and mercantile firms have
done a prosperous business. Not a
single failure has occurred during
the year.
The Stanly County Loan & Trust
Co. has completed its handsome bank
: and office building, on the corner of
Main and Second streets. This is a
i three-story building, with bank,
! drug store and real estate office !on
j the first floor law offices on the sec
i ond, and lodge rooms on the third,
i T. S. Parker built a two-story
j brick building on Second street, 54
j by 90 feet. This building is now oc
I cupied by the Stanly Supply Co.
i Messrs. Biles & Smith erected a
two-story brick building, 50 by ' 80
feet, on Main street. This is occu
pied by P. J. Huneycutt & Co., deal
ers in furniture.
During the year more than 50 new
residences were built and the writer
is impressed that there is not a va
cant dwelling in the town.
The Albemarle Water Works Co.
has extended its service
until nearly the whole town is sup
plied with pure drinking water.
Some good work has been donei in
grading the streets and side-walks.
Some new concrete walks have been
laid in front of the business houses
on Main and Second streets.
The business outlook for Albemarle
during 190t is bright.
Southern Pays Heavy Claim.
Salisbury. Feb. 10. One of the
largest claims ever settled by the
I Southern Railway at Spencer was
j that of Mrs. Augusta Bullock, of
Spencer, against the Southern Rail
I way for the killing of her husband,
H. Bullock, in August, 1905. It will
j be remembered that Mr. Bullock was
! running a shifting engine and was '
at his post when a wild engine came j
j from Spencer towards Salisbury at a
i 75-mile speed. Mr Bullock was
caught between the cab and the ten-
der and crushed to death. Messrs. !
i Ruark and McCrary, of Ixington, I
I effected the compromise whereby
'Mrs. Bullock receives $7,500. It
j was also recalled that this wild en-
gine, whose runaway was never ex
j plained, was followed by another
; shortly afterward and ditched be
; fore it did any harm
I The Southern Railway has been
observing the nine-hour day for sev
eral weeks. The numerical force is
also increased and the shops are now
running night and day. Notwith
standing there are 2,000 men em
ployed in the railway service here,
this force is being daily increased
and the demand for every available
mechanic is great. Owing to this
fact it is very probable that three or
four hundred extra dwelling houses
will be erected. The fire of Monday
did not put the Southern to any
great inconvenience and the black
smith shop, which was totally de
stroyed, was temporarily set up in
the open and work proceeded as usu

CHILD LABOR IN THE SOUTH.
The agitation against the employ
ment of children in unhealthful oc
cupations produces the impression
that it is much more common than
it is. Ninety-one per cent, of the
children employed in manufactures
in the United States are in North
and South Carolina, Georgiaand Ala
bama. It is stated that there are
60,000 children employed in the cot
ton mills of the South; and the mill
able to prevent legislation against
the employment of children. The
demand for Souther cotton goods is
increasing, and the South in its mills

PROGRESS OF TEMPERANCE.
Address to Temperance Forces of North
Carolina.
President J. W. Bailey of the Anti-Saloon
League of this State has
issued the following address to the
temperance forces of this State:
We congratulate the people of
North Carolina upon the progress -if
the cause of temperance within the
last four years, and upon the fact
that the situation of our cause at

than at any time in our history.

saloons and distilleries from our ru

liquor licenses have been cancelled
in our State as the direct result of
our temperance movement.
Wnile the facts are gratifying, the
conditions favorable to our cause are
more gratifying. An examination
of the recent political records re
veals the fact that the political lead
ers in North Carolina are in sympa

and bai l ing a few localities, are in

encouragement. They take assur

the time is shortly at hand when the
hopes of the fathers who labored be-'
fore them in this cause are to be
realized, when, with proper effort
and sacrifice, we shall be able once '

This ailment is usually caused by
rheumatism of the muscles and may
be cured by applying Chamberlain's
Pain Balm two or three times a day
and rubbing the parts vigorously at
each application. If this does not
afford relief, bind on a piece of flan
nel slightly dampened with Pain
Balm, and quick relief is almost sure
to follow. For sale by C. J. Maunev

The Wife Got by Advertising.
"Mr. Goldstein, who operates a
clothing foundry in Durham, was
bereaved some time ago, by the
death of his wife. He was old and
lonely, so he advertised for a new
partner and got one from Brooklyn.
She wa3 a honey, too, for a para
graph from the news budget of that
always newsy town, yesterday said
that old man Goldstein "came up the
street and asked for a warrant
against his better half and the paper
was issued. He was bleeding and
his wife's condition was such that
she could not come to the trial this
afternoon. The trial is set for to-
morrow morning.
Both sides have
employed counsel and the case will
be interesting." Let this be a sol
emn warning to all elderly gentle
men who are bereaved and who feel
that it is essential to their existence
to have a friend and comforter, to
beware of advertising. It ' will
fetch a wife every time, but what
sort of a wife, perhaps Mr. Goldstein
is qualified to tell." . ,
The above is from the Charlotte
Chronicle. There , is a comedy of
this kind being enacted in this vi
cinity, and an old gentleman who
claims that he does not find life con
genial with his last spouse (she being
No. 4), is now away for reasons best
known to himself. Whatever the
grievance of either oartv. it is clear
ly demonstrated that the Chronicle's
warnings are timely and should be
heeded.
