TiIEMSEMI-ASXUAL REPORT.
The State Board of Fublic Charities
Make Out Their Report for This Term
Some Tiotes of the Report.
Twice each year the State
Board of Public Charities of thi3
county, which consists of Dr.
Sam Montgomery, Mr. W M
Weddington, and Capt. J M
Alexander, make out their re
port as to the poor and indigent
of the county who are cared for
by the public aid.
In their report there is but
little change from the former
one. They find twenty -eight
inmates at the county home.
Only one old soldier is there
now Mr. Daniel Myers. Dur
ing the last six months there
have been seven deaths, not
including the death of Jacob
Bowman. The inmates' of the
county home and jail are now
supplied with Bibles which were
given by the Baptist church, of
this place.
There are thirty-eight per
sons who each month receive aid
from the county but are not in
mates of the county home. The
averasre amount paid them each
month is $1.20.
The Board recommends that
the property of the county home
be insured as there is much
danger of fire about the pro
raises. The location of the
different houses there would
pro ve bad in case fire was to at
any time break out in any of the
buildings. This has boon sug
gested before.
Sends Thanks to Friend;.
In conformity with the request
of Mr. Eugene D Barrier we will
inform his many friends and
sympathisers that he is now in
the "Virginia Hospital" in Rich
mond and sends messages of
very grateful acknowledemonts
to them for sympathy and ma
terial aid. He is pleasantly sit
uated and confidently hopes for
early relief from excruciating
suffering which makes his para
lysis the less bearable.
He arrived there on the morn
ing of the 16th with some fatigue
but with a fair degree of com
fort. His address is as above, Vir
ginia Hospital, Richmond, Va.
and letters from those friends
would be very gratifying.

"The tiire has come for me to
speak," he said going over to
the mantlopiece and leaning his
head abstractedly against the
cold, h rd brick. "My dear, be
fore we are married, and while
there is yet time to pause, my
conscience bids me to tell you
the truth about myself. I have
deceived you. I am not the
noble-hearted, unselfish, refined
and altogether desireable man
you have been led to believe. I
have deceived you even about
my age. Not only am I forty
instead thirty-four, but am a
widower. I stay out nights
when I fool like it. I smoke all
over the house, am a crank
about my meals, and find fault
all the time, hector the servants,
never go anywhere to oblige
any one else, drink mora than I
ought to, swear regularly, and

with a conscious look of pride an

IYTEltESIIMJ DISCOVERY.
Tuberculosis Curable by Electricity and
Deadly Chemicals.
In Public Opinion of May 3rd
we have a brief sketch of the
Crotte system of treating con
sumptives in St. Luke's Hos
pital, New York, that is of
thrilling interest.
As condensed and prepared
for the conceptions of the ordi
nary reader we gather tho fol
lowing ideas:
Formaldehyde gas will destroy
the germs of the disease. It
cannot be breathed, however, in
that degree of strength neces
sary to destroy these germs, but
by moans of electricity as in tho
X-ray method the formaldehyde
gas is sent through the lungs
and a cure is often effected. In
deed the record assures a cure
for every patient in the first
stage of the disease, 75 per cent,
for tho second stage and 30 per
cent, for the third or hopeless
stage.
Francisque Crotte is not
physician, but has devoted much
time to medicine and chemistry.
He had observed a French man
ufacturing company driving
waterproof material into wood
by means of electricity. He
conceived the idea of sending
this germ-killer into the human
system by the same means. The
results seem, to promise a rovo
lution in the treatment of tuber
cuiosis. Trie process seems
wonderfully simple. Throu;
tho system a patient, preparod
for treatment, by being bared to
the waist, lias the preparation
placed on tho breast or some
part of the body and tho elec
trode or X-ray is applied and
the chemical sent through flesh
and bones, working destruction
to tha genns. A chemical of
milder type is breathed at the
same time. Tho progress of do
stroying the germs is clearly
manifest in the examination of
thos expoctorations. Tho treat
ment, like all remedies, must be
persevered with in skilful appli
cation. There seems a bright
ray of hopo for the afflicted in
this new treatment.
Uafeking Probably Helelved.
There is a degree of painfu
suspense about the news from
Maf eking. It is said that relief
has come to it but lack of con
firmation makes it seeem quite
doubtfull.
Dispatches say that Command
ant Eloff, grandson of President
Kruger, at the head of a patrol
attempted to enter the city
and by the shrewdness of Col.
liaden lJowen were let get to a
point at which fire was openenod
and 17 men were killed and the
commandant and 90 mon wei'e
capturod.
Pointed Paragraphs.
Experience never teaches fools
anything.
It takes a pointed remark to
get into some heads.
You can frequently judge a
man by the tool Irieuds he
has.
A bounteous free lunch often
covers a multitude of bi'.d
whiskies.
When a man sees the error of
his way he should change his
route.
No man is absolutely perfect,
who acknowledges his faults is
more than half way up the lad
dor. The Hoy to lie Pitied.
There arc boys, we aro sorry
to say, who love to boast of the
wrong practices they have been
engaged in in tho past. There
are bad mon, too, who do the
same thing. The boy is to be
pitied who has nothing to boast
of but his evil deeds, and it is
pretty certain thathe will become
a worthless man unless he re
forms aud refrains from the
practice. The reciting of evil
deeds will not help the boy here
on earth, up above or down be
low, for men don't want him,
Heaven won't have him, and the
devil won't appreciate him when
he gets him. Bury tho past be
yond all remembrance if ycu can
not speak good of it. Mt. Olive

THE RICHMOND CARNIVAL-
Scenes of Beauty and (injety Points of;
Interest- Bird's Eye View Compan
ion of '() and Now.
This is Richmond's gala week
and her gaities are being wit
nessed and enjoyed by a number
of Concord's citizens.
The carnival is quite credit
able, though not so unanimously
engaged in by Richmond's mer
chants, chielly of the wholesale
class, as was desired.
Tho line of the business dis
plays is on Broad street (which
is really broad compared with
Main and other of the finest
streets in Richmond) beginning
about parallel with the capitol
building. Here a magnificent
arch spans the street car track.
It is white, in imitation of mar
ble, looking immensely heavy
and substantial, though it is of a
very temporary nature. On it in
large gilt letters is the word
"Welcome." From this point
westward for a mile on both
sides of the street are the dis
plays of many of. the business
houses of that immensely busi
ness city.
Many of tho pavilions, in form
of artistic summer houses, are
beauties on which one can feast
the eye till there's no time to get
round. There are some good
displays of machinery, among
them the improved "Goisor"
thresher and very small engines.
It is needless to say that
"Streets of Cairo" is- there,
together with vastly canvassed
menagerie shows, the trapezes
of various forms and styles and
tho ever present fakir with all
his fair and honest methods
which any sensible man is ex
pected to bile at, as tho advau
tages are all on tho sido of tho
sucker.
The shows requiring tents are
iu tho cross streets which they
completely obstruct the fronts
merely being displayed orl Ihoad
street. There is little trouble to
pass, as the jams around the fa
kirs can' always be dodged
through the wide street.
The din is considerablo,creatod
by tho drum accompaniment
along with tho oriental travesty
on music, a thing to bo borne,
even enjoyed, when you note
how happy it seems to make the
fellows rondoriug it.
The parade en Wednesday
evening was the most pleasing
thing the writer saw. It was in
tended not as a trade or business
review but as a floral display and
color harmony. It was led by a
single horseback rider, the steed
bedecked with wreaths and ro
settes, followed by vehicles con
taining parties representing at
least three generations. The
hprses were chiefly of deep and
positive colors, all bedecked with
such floral colors as would har-
monizo and contrast most pleas
ingly to the eye, the same colors
literally covering the vehicle.
For instance, a pair of horses of
very light cream wore the
late style of whito webbing har
ness and the entire ph:cton save
tho tires was wrapped with,
probably, bleached domestic and
trimmed with deep yellow flow-
a
ers. ihe decorations were in
studied harmony with tho color
of the team aud in some instances
the whole vehicle was but a
fluffy -looking upholstery of flow
ers from which tho pretty women
within, carrying largo parasols
heavily bedecked also, seemed to
peep out as fairies from luxu
riant posy beds.
The display was rather rich
and charming in character than
immense iu its proportions and
at suitable distances was divided
into groups by bands that
echoed their hoi inony to the ear
as the decorations to the eye.
Thursday was the great day of
the carnival and presented a
grand military display and other
great features.
The Richmond Dispatch while
felicitous on tho success of the
carnival laments that Richmond
is coming but slowly up to what
she might do in a street display.-
The city has many attractions
well worth tho tax on purso and
ihysiquo of tho class not privil
eged to see New York, Washing
ton Now Orleans, Chicago, etc.
Tho capitol is not to bo com
pared with that of our own State
but Ihe city hall is bewildering
in it grandeur as is the Jeffer-
KOn Miv
The statuary in capital square
is a monument to tho patrotism
of Virginia and tho grand statue
of Gen. Lee will make tho city a
Mecca while "thoro is.ono tell the
war stories incident to the epoch
in which tho world learned from
him what is ideal modern mili
tary genius.
The Jefferson Davis House,
now the Confederate Museum is
a place where you wish to bare
your head and tread lightly
while you read tho labels and ad
mire the mementoes of those
days so dark but over which
these hang as halos of glory as
inextinguishable as the stars in
tlio nocturnal conopy. In that
Varina Davis was the child of
tho Confederacy and every vet
eran feels a tenderness to her
memory not unlike that of a pa
rout, it is but natural that ho
should pause in pensive musing in
tho room whore sho first saw tho
light.
.North Carolinians will bo
proud to fiud ono of the choicest
rooms in tho building consigned
to our State with a large frame
over the mantle containing in
prominent readable letters a
brief statement of her record of
climax in point of service and
sacrifice.
Tho room might have more
contributions in the way of
relics, though there aro some
very choice ones.
The Chapman pictures aro not
yet secured aud therefore are
not on display but aro promised
at no distant day. This whole
display studied as the mineralo
gist studies a collection of rocks,
the astronomer the stars, the
painter tho art gallery and the
botanist the flower garden would
consume much time but would
repay with a full measure of real
interest and gratification.
As for the city of Richmond, it
is amar'ng to s'and on the pin
nacle of the capitol and viow tho
immense territory about camp
Loe on the West and tho Chim
borazo on the East, where hos
pital barracks were the only
appearance of a city at the close
of the war, now densely built up,
and camp Loe especially the
stylish homos of Richmond's
"Four hundrod." To tho North
also there is a stretch of tho
city's borders. Then, too, one
who saw the havoc wrought by
tho flames when the citv was
ovocuatod in May '05 looks and
wonders in vain just where was
the full path of that sickening
destruction.

The Subject or Dress.
The following are cullings
from an article entitled "Tho
Importance of Dressing Well:"
At the Pope's chapel in Rome,
no person is admitted to the early
mass, which is said at six o'clock
in the morning, unless he is in
evening dress. It is required as
a mark of respect.
In the highest stations the
matter of dross is not only re
garded but of groat importance.
The well dressed man is not
always he who wears expensive
clothes.
The clean collar and carefully
tied neck-scarf and polished
shoes, rather than the texture of
tho leather and tho richness of
the silk, reflect characteristics.
A good hat, covered with dust,
has stood in the way of many a
man. Leather covered with
dust, dirt or mud does not reflect
anything.
He who does not keep abreast
of the times in one particular
will doubtless fail to do so in
others. The world so looks at it.
If men who have achieved
success still find it necessary to
consider tnoir clothes, what is
true of a young man starting out
to climb?
How true is it that an employer
sizes up" a young man apply
ing for a position by his general
appearance. There is more in
the old saying than wo like to
admit "Tho clothes make tho
man."
Suggestions: Crush your
clothes before putting them ou
and after taking them off.
Always hang your coats if not
in a closet over a coat hanger or
over tho back of a chair. Fold
trousers iu original creases.
THE INFLUENCE OF MUSIC.
"Caleb Cobweb" in Christian
Endeavor World says: "If over
I have-to 'board out,' I mean to
hunt a musical familv. Thev
will be sweet-tempered there,
and unselfish and iolly. I don't
moanwjioro tho oldest daughter
drums on tho piano from morn
ing until evening, but where
everybody, from grandmother to
baby, has a share in tho orches
tra. The baby can come iu with
its 'goo-goo. "
