Bears Good Fortune
The boars bad a nice bouse which
they rented, from Mr. Camel, and they
ylshcd to remain there the rest of
their days, for they were getting along
In years and did not relish the Idea of
moving. '
But you know we are not always
able to have everything our own way
In this world, and so It proved to be
with the bears. One day Mr. Camel
decided that be would like to live In
BIQ TEARS STREAMED OUT OF TBEIB EYES.
(hat house himself, and be sent word
to the bears that they would have to
move out.
Mr. and Mrs. Bear were almost bro
ken hearted. Tbey did not know what
to do, for, look as bard as tbey could,
tbey were unable to find another hous
Into which to move.
When the day came for the bears to
pet out tbey did not know where to go.
But go they bad to, and go the did.
Down the road they marched aide by
aide, while great big tears streamed
out of their eyes.
When tbey reached the top of a hill
about a mile from-the bouse they had
Just left they turned to take a fare
well look at It. And what do you
think? The bouse had disappeared!
Tbey bad no more than got out of It
when a big gust of wind came along
and blew It down in a mass of planks
and boards upon the ground. Not one
piece remained attached to another.
"What a lucky thing for us!" ex
claimed. Mr.' Bear Joyfully. "If we
bad not got out when we did we
would have been crushed to pieces."
And, indeed, they would have been.
They were certainly fortunate, for a
little fartheV on down the ,road they
found the tiger family moving out of
a real nice bouse, .and the bears se
cured that one and lived there until
the end of their days. Chicago Trib
une. A New Southern History.
Announcement has been mad of
the early issue of a new history of the
United States by Messrs. D. C. Heath
& Co., one of the best known school-
book publishing houses. The work is
by Mr. Waddy .Thompson, of Atlanta,
who, by the way, is a son of ex-Governor
Thompson, of South Carolina.
Although the author necessarily takes
the Southern view of things and de
velops the history of the country with
the purpose of giving prominence to
the South, yet such peculiar fairness to
all sections pervades the work that it
has been strongly endorsed both by
Gen. Jno. B. Gordon, whose recent
death haa thrown the South into
mourning, and by Gen. II. V. Boyn
ton, a Federal officer of great experi
ence, now the Chairman of the Chicka
mauga and Chattanooga National Park
Commission.
Such endorsements establish for the
book a unique record of fairness.
Those who have seen the advance
sheets are unstinted in their commen
dation of the author on account of his
painstaking care, his suppression of
personal opinion and feeling, and in
deed the eminent art which haa en
abled him to produce a work thus
shown to be" justo the North as wJl as
to the South.
The South demands nothing but the
troth. - -
When Cotton Was High.
y. F. Dixon In Charlotte News.
In the fall of 1868, being a small
farmer, raising from 15 to 20 bales, I
sold a part of my crop in Noy ember
for 14 cents. It then went down in
December to 8 and 9 Ants.
About the middle of January it be
gan going down, the exact dates I have
not got as my papers were all burned.
But, sometime in February I sold the
balance of my crop for 14 cents which
was all I wanted. It continued to go
up from that at the rate of from 25 to
50 points a day until it went to 28 cents.
There was a company of farmers who
went from this county to Kington, in
Lenoir county and rented a large farm
from a man by the name of Wooten for
11,000 dollars a year in money. One
of them was the late Cyrenus Alex
ander. They made a failure that year
and came back. In settling with Mr.
Wooten he took their cotton at 12 cents
and held it until he got 25 canU for it.
T
FIVB YEARS
Charlotte Chronicle.
Mr. O. P. Heath ia one ot the Aid
ing cotton merchants of Charlotte. He
is interested in cotton mills and is in
touch with the cotton mill side of the
question as well as the side of raw cot
ton. On being asked to give an opin
ion of the cotton market Mr. Heath
said:
"It will be a long time before we see
cheap cotton again. The factories have
taken thousands of families from the
cotton fields. Cotton ought really to
have gone up in price before it did.
The supply has been scant for several
years past, but the trade didn't realize
it. Here at Charlotte we've built a city
of thirty thousand people. - Most of
these have come from farms. All over
the cotton states factories have been es
tablished and cities and towns haye
been built. Where did the people come
from to do this ? Not from the north
or from Europe. They came from the
the cotton farms. The present price is
reasonable in view of these changes."
"How long will the present standard
of price last ?" was asked.
'Till conditions again change. This
will take time. I can see no promise
of low prices for five years to come.
The manufacturing population are not
going back to the farm. Where are
new farmers to come from to take the
places of those who have gone into the
manufacturing? If they come from
the north it will take time years of
time to come and get settled. It they
come from Europe there must be time
for them to come in numbers, to learn
the language and to learn how to culti
vate cotton. I have no doubt we will
get people ia time and that we will have
a far larger production than at present
in time, but I speak of high prices now
and for five years to come."
"But," asked the newspaper man,
suppose we have a big crop per acre
next year. Wouldn't the south supply
the demand at lower prices?"
"If we have a big crop next year
prices will still be high by present stan
dards. We haven't the labor to gather
a big crop per acre. Leave out the
boll weevil, which may be a factor, the
world is needing more cotton all the
time. Last year we were short. This
year .we will .be short again. A big
crop next year wouldn't make up the
losses. Therefore a big crop will not
put prices down to anything like
-what we ordinarily consider very low
prices."
Assuming these views of Hr. Heath
to be correct, the situation make a very
promising outlook for the farmer and
for the merchant who furnishes the
farmer.. And there's the commercial
fertilizer man whose prospects would
seem brighter than for a long time in
the past.
If Sahara War a Sea.
French engineers have declared it is
perfectly feasible to convert the desert
of Sahara into a vast lake, thus opening
to commerce great regions of the inter
ior of Africa, which can now only be
reached by long, tedious and dangerous
caravan Journeys. They say that a
large portion of the desert lies below
the level of the Atlantic, and that by
digging a canal to let in the waters of
the ocean the great change could be
effected easily and at a cost which
would be small compared to the bene
fits which would accrue.
If the whole desert lay below the
level of the Atlantic the flooding of it
would create a sea more than four times
as big as the Mediterranean; but as the
Sahara is composed of elevated plateaus,
mountain ranges and depressionswonly
a part would be covered with water
when the waves of the ocean were let
in, and the new sea thus formed would
be an irregular body of water, probably

event, it is a gigantic, pleasing dream.

Fairbrotber's Everything.
Paris fashion ' news suggests that
hoopskirts the genuine old fashioned
circus tent affairs are liable to become
the style again. It may be true.
When Fashion makes decree it is
sterner than any human law.
We have just been gaaing upon the
Fashion plates as they appeared in the
Columbian Lady's and Gentleman's
Magazine, printed in New York in
1844 and the hoopskirt looms up like
a balloon in distress. John Inman,
the editor of this magazine, lays great
stress on his colored fashion plate
and several times says : "We are con
strained limply to say our fashions
are perfect copies of those imported
monthly by us from London and Paris
(save only such modifications as are
adopted in New York) and are engraved
expressly for the Columbian at great
expense. It is idle for any one to say
they are not the latest, or the most
authentic, for they certainly are."
So it will be seen that even in those
days envious publishers doubtless
accused their competitors of faking
pictures.
However, if the hoopskirt is going
to make our women look like those
Fashion plates of those days we re
sign. We do not propose to stand for
it. The Columbian's pictures are per
haps perfect but they remind us of
the conversation of a couple of moun
taineers who were going into Charlotte
the other day as witnesses in the Fed
eral court. They wore chin whiskers
and face whiskers and neck whiskers.
They were brown with sun and grease
and dirt. Their teeth were yellow and
they wore flannel shirts and had evi
dently not changed them for many
months. Altogether they looked like
wild animals and a cbimpanzee could
have given them odds and beaten their
heads off. They gazed out the car
windows and remarked that that was
the first time they had, ever been on a
fast train and it was a local poking
along'? When station would be
reached they would rubber neck out
the windows . and look at the busy
throng at the depot. And every time
a station was reached one would say to
the other: "God, Bill, but ain't they
the curiouste8t people you -ever seed?"
And when we looked upon the gown
worn by milady in 1844 with its wealth
of cloth reaching out to cover the
immense hoopskirts we were reminded
of what his companion said to Bill.
Let us hope that there will be a war
or something to stay the iron hand of
Fashion if it has really decreed that the
hoopskirt must come.

DIVTIRBER AND DESTROY ICR.
Charlotte Observer.
Mr. W. J. Bryan's Bpeech at the dol
lar cfinner at Lincoln, Neb., Monday
night, was unmistakenble notice to the
country of what is to be expected of
him this year, and, judging from the
newspaper press of the'bountry, nobody
has misinterpreted him. His demand
that there be no concessions to the con
servatives and that the a Kansas City
platform be re-affirmed in its entirety
can mean but one thing, for he is not
a fool and he knows what he is doing.
That platform and the candidate on it
having been defeated in 1896, and the
same candidate on the same platform
having been still worsedefeated in 1900,
anybody has sense enough to know that
if the Democratic party goes before the
country this year presenting the same
discredited, shop-worn, dead and bur
ied issues it will not only be defeated
again but annihilated. Ninety one
hundredths of the Democrats of the
United States who have given the sub
ject a thought and entertain a prefer-
ence for a candidate are for Cleveland,
Parker, Gorman, Olney or Gray. Mr.
Bryan has publicly declared his opposi
tion to every one of these. He follows
the declaration of this opposition to all
the favorite candidates with the dollar
dinner speech Monday night, proposing
again a defeated and odious platform,
thus making it perfectly clear that he
intends to beat the party if he can.
After his second defeat, in 1900, he de
clared that he would never give in to
the "re-organizers," and was quoted at
the same lime as saying in effect that
so locg as he was alive no Democratic
candidate for the presidency should be
elected. His utterances at this time
establish that he has not changed his
purpose but proposes to make it good
by eliminating all of the men that the
party wants and giving it, in a plat
form, a load under which ithasa'ready
twice'stood and which it is now more
than ever impossible for it to carry:
Mr. Bryan's role this year, as he has
himself made plain, is to be that of a
diBturber and a destroyer. No argu
ment is needed on this point he has
himself furnished the proof. It is for
the party to say whether it will listen
to him, try to placate him-, and thus
walk as he wants it to, with its eyes
open, to certain -defeat, or 'vhether it
will ignore him, select its candidate
and frame its platform with reference
to his wishes, but regarding only the
desires and interests of the people,
and grasp the victory which is within
reach.
Immigration to Tbe South.
Hie work 01 the last decade in in
ducing immigration to the Southern
States by the land and industrial dcpait
ment of the Southern Railway, assisted
by the residents and the various indus
trial organizations of the South, is bear
ing results that surpass expectations.
Large parties pass through Washington
almost daily on their way to the South
to take up new homes. Special atten
tion is being paid to the farmer immi
grants. They are being attracted from
Canada and Europe.
Representatives of a party of 200
prospective German immigrats of the
Northern States and the Fatherland,
accompanied by officials of the railway
company, passed through Washington
one night recently to make a tour of in
spection of the South. They are de
sirous of getting an option on 10,000
acres of land, and will visit the more
productive States to find a suitable loca
tion. The land will be selected with
a view td its fertility, advantages and
the healthfulness of thetommunity.
Attempt at Train-Wrecking.
Greensdoro, Jan. 2i. A bold at
tempt was made to wreck the Florida
special, No. 29, at the north end of the
yards in this city tonight. Some party,
or parlies, unknown placed two large
new cross-ties directly across the track
f the main line, which were discovered
by a colored fireman of one of the in-
dustrial plants of the city, who was
going home after finishing" his day's
work. It was evidently quite an, exer
tion for him to lift the heavy ties, for
he was of small stature, but he got
them off and came breathless with per
spiration streaming down his face and
his voice quivering with excitement to
the trainmaster's office and matte a re
port of what he bad found and done.
Had this obstruction been allowed a
remain on the track an hour longer tbe
Florida special wotfd doubtless have
run into it with a dreadful osash and
many lives have been lost.

He was always behind-hand
He was not willing, but unlisted.

He asked too many questions.
His stock excuse was "I forgot."
He wasn't ready for the next step.
He did not put bis heart in his work.
He learned nothing from liis blun

man.
He ruined his ability by half doing
things.
He never dared to act on .his own
judgment.
He did not think it worth while to
learn how.
He tried to make "bluff" to take the
place of ability.
He thought he must take amusement
every evening.
Familiarity with ship-shod methods
paralyzed his ideal.
He thought it clever to use coarse
and profane language.
He was ashamed of his parents be
cause they were old-fashioned.
He imitated the habits of men who
could stand more than he could.
He did not learn that the best part of
his salary was not in his pay envelope.

aHEN ASHCRAFT'S Condi
tion Powders are fed to horses
and, mules, marked improvement
will be seen after the first few
doses. There is no doubt about it.
The Ponxiers, acting directly on the
digestive organs, first thoroughly
cleanses the stomach and bowels,
correcting all "disorders, and then
good healthy appetite comes nat
urally and surely. It is the most
powerful tonic and appetizer on
the market to-day, and when once
used horsemen will have no other.
AsHcraft's Powders produce that
silky sheen of coat and hair so
admired by horse fanciers. The
Powders fatten but never bloat.
Always high' grade and put up
in doses never in bulk.
By the use of three or four doses
a week your, horse or mule will
not be subject to colic or any dis
ease of the stomach and bowels.
"I had an old horse that was in very bad
condition generally. He was thin and had a
blood disease that was causing the hair to
come off. I gave the horse three doses of Ash
cratt's Condition Powders a day for seven days
and fed him liberally. The appetite improved
from the first few doses and the animal gained
flfty-two pounds in flesh during the week I
gave It three doses a day. The general health
of the animal was greatly improved by the use
of the powders and he was made almost a new
horse. I most heartily recommend Ashcraffs
Condition Powders, as I know they are a splen
did tonio and appetizer. C. C. 81KES, Livery
