WE WONDER WHAT ABOUT. The Greensboro Telegram of the 27th says: The Charlotte Observer, and Daily Record and Evening Tele gram of this city, have all three been sued for libel by the Messrs. Meadows, of Rockingham coun ty. The papers were served on the Record and Telegram yes terday afternoon and the suits are returnable to August term of superior court at Wentworth, at which time, we presume, the complaints will be filed and the amount sued for be made known. It turns out now that three out of the five Italians lynched in Louisana were naturalized American citizens. The Italian minister can take down the curve in his spinal column a few de- roes. Adolphus Leutgert, the famous Chicago sausage maker who was convicted of killing and cooking up his wife in his soap making department and who has been serving a life sentence in the penitentiary was found dead in Ms cell Thursday. F. F. Pratt, s Chicago lawyer, . says Xieutgert confessed to him that he had murdered his wife. Soap and sausage sellers may find Leu tgert's death a benfit to their trade.

During the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1899, there were 675 persons arrested in the United States for counterfeiting and Hytpfrnftd crimes and only; about 24 per cent -oi these were :ac quitted. WHE When we learn to notice small things . While waiting for the great, When we fail to undervalue Forget to overrate. When we let our lips smile often Our brows of frowns keep . clear, And cease to cry for far off moons Loving the things quite near. When .we praise with tender, true words. And stifle out complaints, We may not have reached God's heaven But at least are nearer saints. Selected. NOT AMBITIOUS. I wouldn't be a lawyer, An' argy in the court; Ner wouldn't be a dentist. An' gouge out teeth fer sport. Ner wouldn't be a merchant, An' figger gain an' loss But just a plain ole feller, 'At knows how to swap a hoss ' Work and Hope. Yes, work and hope. The outlook may be dark, the time may be threatening; but while God lives it cannot but be well- with the hopeful, believing, trustful well-doer. True, times and things might be better; they might be worse, also. Despair ing never changes anything for the better, but hopeful working does. Look upon the bright side. If you do not see it hunt for it. Bring a flower when you come home from your toil and hand it, with a smile, to your wife, your mother, your sister, or your daughter. It will cheer them, and make them feel that life is worth living; then in return they will smile upon and cheer you. Fill your home with loving smiles, kind words, helpful deeds, and then hope will well up in your soul. There is love all about us, if we will but make ourselves lovable; there is plenty of appreciation near by, if we will but do something worthy of appreciation. The world is not going to smash, and we are not going to . be cast out to die of starvation if we but do as well as we may. Therefore, , work and hope. Religious Telescope. Growth of Finger Nails. Not many people know that the average growth of the finger nails is 1-32 of an inch per week or a little more than an inch and a half per year," observed a physician recently to a Washing ton Star man. "The growth, however, depends to a great ex tent upon the rate of nutrition, and during sickness and absti ence from good norishing food it is retarded. Nails grow faster in summer than in winter, and the growth differs for different fingers, being usually most rapid in the middle finger and slowest in the thumb. Tile average time taken for each finger nail to grow its full length is about four and a half months, and at this rate a man of seventy years of age would have renewed his nails 16 times. Taking the length of each nail at half an men he would have srrown seven feet nine inches of nail on each finger, and on all his fingers and thumbs, and aggreate length of seventy-seven feet six inches;" An ExpaasiTe Drunk.

The physicians who are at tending Henry Gilmore, the ne gro who was struck by lightning on the Kirkpatrick plantation, tell us that in all probability he will recover from his dreadful wounds. It is a remarkable case, probably without a paraUel. Gil more savs' that he was standing under the cherry tree holding a pair of mules with his left hand and had just placed his right hand on Mr. Murdoch's shoulder when he lost consciousness. Now the bolt of lightning first struck Murdock and passed through his body, killing him instantly; then it entered Gilmore through his right arm, going down his right side to his foot, back again across his chest down his left side to Ms foot, up again and out of his left arm into the mules, both of which died instantly. Though this mysterious current left fear ful scars on Gilmore's body, he was conscious in a few hours and is now on the way to recov ery. Fayetteville Observer. Some Lairs of Health. The Medical Times says: "The true secret of health and long life lies in very simple things: Don't worry. Don't hurry. Don't overeat. Don't starve. Fresh air day and night. Sleep and rest abundantly. Spend less nervous energy each day than you make. Be cheerful. Work like a man; but don't be worked to death.' Avoid passion and excitement. - Associate with healthy people health is con tagious as' well as disease. Don't carry the whole world on your shoulders, far less the universe. Trust the Eternal. Never despair Lost hope is a fatal disease." Work Started on the Building. Work preparatory to, erecting the building of the Concord In stitute was begun some days ago but now , the work of the car penters has commenced. The building will stand near the graded school just opposite the Baptist church. The house formerly owned by Dr. R: S. Young will be remodelled and additions made suitable for the accommodation ,of pupils. Contractor Hamilton has the work in hand. On both the north and south ends he will build additions forty feet long and eighteen feet wide, and a second story will be put on the rear part of the house. When completed this building is ex pected to accommodate quite a large number of pupils. Harris Dennis in Trouble. ' ... The Stanly Enterprise has the following about a man known by a number of people here : "Harris Dennis is lodged in jail here on a charge of burning the' hOiiSe occupied by Mr. Jim Maulden and .belonging to Mr. Jno.
