I searched for love in heart of city's hum; I searched for love upon the shining sand Of ocean beach: and then on towering cliffs I sung A pleading song that love unto my heart might come; But love came not. I searched for love no more, but labor ed sore To ease those hearts whom sorrow'd touched before; Faint hope that in sweet work I'd surely find Some compensation for the fate un kind When, lo! lovt? came. Bessie L. Russell, in Outlook. THE NEWS TODAY. The News presents two special fea tures in today's issue to which it in vites the attention of its readers. One, which may be found in the supplement, is a continued story by that prince of Southern story-tellers Joel Chandler Harris. The story is entitled, "The Story Telling Machine," and we com mend it to our readers anything from the pen of Mr. Harris is entertaining and instructive. Another article of unusual interest is that bj- Prof. Jerome Dowd, entitled "The Negro unfit for Citizenship." Prof. Dowd, as is well known, is resi dent lecturer on Sociology at the Uni versity of Wisconsin and one of the foremost sociologists of the country. He is a Southern man, a North Caro linian, and well equipped in the sub ject presented In the article. The con clusions reached in his article are sig nificant and should be convincing. A sketch of Judge Alton B. Parker, who is now in the public eye as a presi dential possibility, is of especial inter est at this time and Mr. Alton has "written interestingly. A feature, which The News intro duced several weeks ago, is the article on Sunday Study, embracing the Sun day school lesson for the week, topics of various church organizations, no table days of the week and much else along similar lines that is interesting. BLESSING TO THE SOUTH. The information comes from Wash ington that Dr. Charles H. Herty, of Athens, Ga., has been successful in se curing a patent on his improved meth od of collecting crude turpentine. Too little is known of the great blessing which Dr. Herty'3 invention has brought to the turpentine-producing regions of the South. In Mecklenburg, perhaps, this work is not greatly ap preciated, because turpentine-produ ing is not Mecklenburg's long-suit, but in other portions of the State it will result, not only in the simplifying of the work, cheapening of the cost of production and lessen the danger and destructiveness of forest fires, but it will also result in the preservation of the State's valuable pine forests. Dr. Herty, who was professor of chemistry at Georgia's University, has long studied the method of collecting crude turpentine. He found great waste in the present system, danger from forest fires and serious damage to timber. He set about to find a meth od of collecting crude turpentine which would prove more beneficial to the op erators. He went abroad, spending several months in Germany and other countries studying the problem, and returned to the United States about two years ago to take this up as his life work. He resigned his position at the university and went to Emanuel coun ty and began some experiments on his own account. For 18 months Dr. Herty has been conducting his work under the super vision of the United States Govern ment Department of Forestry. He kept steadily at his work on the farm of John H. Powell, in Irwin county, in this State, and there secured wonder ful results from his method of col lecting the crude turpentine. Last fall Dr. Herty again appeared before the Turpentine Operators' Asso ciation at Jacksonville, where the lead ing operators of every Southern State were in session. He exhibited his method in detail and presented the figures he had compiled from the re sults accomplished, showing that under his method a larger amount and better quantity of gum had been secured from a given number of pine trees over the old method, and that the product from his method had sold in the market at Savannah, for a higher price than the product of the old method, sold side by side. Dr. Herty is now at Ahomasville, Ga., with a force of Government ex perts, placing his method on the tur pentine farms of thousands of opera tors in this State, Florida and Ala bama. More than 5,000,000 trees will have Herty gutters and cups on them before the spring is over. Our Spartanburg contemporaries the Journal and Herald are having a legular cat and dog time of it over the respective merits of the telegraph ser vice that each claims to take. The Herald boasts of receiving the Asso ciated Press Dispatches, though claim ing to receive them by mail, while the Journal asserts that the Herald's claim is a fairy tale and refers it gleefully to the Count Robgien Ruomorf Laetsew incident, in which the News caught the Herald napping. Thus far honors seem to be easy and no blood has been spilled. Mr. J. O. Foy, who recently sold out the Shelby Aurora, announces in yes terday's issue of the Hickory Press, that he has purchased a controlling in terest in that paper and on that date assumed the editorial and business management of that paper. The Press has hitherto been a Republican paper, but Mr. Foy proposes to make it a conservative independent journal. Mr. Foy is a man of winning sincerity of manner and is a bold champion of the plain people. He has always made a success of journalism in this State and the News welcomes him back to the fold of the Fourth Estate. The Senate yesterday passed a child labor bill. It prohibits the employment of children under twelve years of age and makes 66 hours a week's work for children under eighteen, though it does not prohibit them working longer. Before a vote was taken it was an nounced that the bill as amended pleased both the manufacturers and the advocates of the law. It must there fore be curiously constructed, but The News will pass judgment later. In the taking of depositions in the Moody-Gudger contested election case, which is now going on at Asheville, a negro was introduced by the Republi can attorneys interested who affirm ed under oath that Congressman-elect Gudger paid him $2.50 for his vote on election day. The negro witness did not tell, however, how much he receiv ed from the Republican lawyers to get up and swear to that infamous false hood. The House has passed the Watts bill a long step forward in temperance legislation. It would be a wise move now for the Senate to pass the Lon don bill. U would be a mistake for the latter body to consider anything weaker than the Watts bill and it should seriously plan to pass some thing stronger for instance the Lon don bill as amended. A sad story comes from Durham. While a mother lay dying, a public charge, her daughter and only child left her, was married and went away, leav ing the parent to die helpless and alone. Such savagery might be expect ed from Fiji Islanders, but in a civi lized country it strikes the average man as almost beyond comprehen sion. Extract from news item in Winston Salem Journal "Alex Foster, colored, was sent to the roads for six months for immortal conduct." Gracious! What was Alex, trying to do that tho heavy hand of the law should thus be laid upon him? Did he seek the realms abce in a ljying ma chine or was he simply c6 good to live on the streets of Winston-Salem? The several gentlemen whose mouths are watering for the Charlotte postof fice plum and who have been rolling the juicy morsel under their tongues for some days, are now under a ner vous strain that will not be relieved until the die is ca. on Monday. Just one hundred and seventy-one J years ago tomorrow, George Washing ton, first president of the American re public, first in war, first in peace and first in tho hearts of his countrymen, was born. SHORT AND SWEET. A Quick Food Cure Quickly Told. Some have the knack of telling a long story in a few words. Such is the case with a Plymouth, Illinois, lady i who writes: "Here are a few lines about myself and how I was cured by Grape-Nuts food. "For over a year I was almost pros- j irated witn what two of our best doc tors called catarrh of the bowels. Ev erything I ate seemed to hurt me so my husband, having Heard of the pre digested food Grape-Nuts, purchased a package and had me try it. "I can truthfully say that one pack age did me more good than anything else I had tried. So I have continued the use of it ever since. "I quit medicine and used Grape Nuts and it has made me sound and well and I would gladly recommend it to others. "You may use my name." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
