The old adages, "Make hay while the sun shines," and "Lay by for a rainy day," certainly have some refer ence to the condition of things for the past week. The weather gets no better fast. Slopnd slush, rain and frees". This seems to be a world beater. The oldest inhabitant doesn't remember anything like this, bat while I si quietly by the fire looking out, I see trees loaded with ice, telephone wires covered over thickly, and the rain fall ing and freezing as fast as it falls, and am conscious of the fact the poor white folks, negroes and old cows are having a picnic, such as it is, A com' fortable home, a bin full of coal, pantry full -of something to eat. takes about all these to make this sort of weather bearable at all. The fellow who gets a dollar a day for his labor such days as he can work in the year, with a w'fe and five or ten children, has very little opportunity of laying by for me rainy day, ana tne sun never shines so he can make hay. With him when the sun shines there is no hay to get, and when there Is any bay, there is a wet spell on him. These are times of emergency to him, and these emer gencies can only be met by the gener ous kindness and charitable deeds on the part of those who have earned more than a dollar a day; on the part Of those who have laid by for a rainy day on the part of those who made hay while the sun shined. "If thou seest thy brother in need and shutteth up thy bowels of compassion against him, how dwelleth the love of God in your heart ?' "He that giveth to the poor leodeth to the Lord, and He will pay bim back again. Ye that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak. believe in helping the fellow who needs help, and who has helped himself as far as he can. We talk about the de serving poor and the undeserving poor. It is not a question of desert; it is a question of need. With snow and sleet and rain on the outside, and no coal and wood in the home and noth ing to eat ia the condition of things that can't be passed by. A feHow who can go by the like of that is a full- fledged hog, minus the bristles, and I suppose a full blooded Berkshire thankful for the difference that differ entiates that sort of fellow from him. I tip my hat to the generous man, and would tip nothing but my toe to a stingy man. I had rather be a liberal gambler than a" stingy member of the church, for the simple reason that if you get the gambler converted to God he will make a good one, but the old member professes to have been con verted, and he is not worth killing, One has possibilities; the other hasn't. The poet said much in the four lines "Teach me to feel another's woe. Hide the fault I see; That mercy I to others show That mercy show to me." "The poor ye have with you always," but if wo had not the needy to whom the generous could contribute, they would soon draw up and shrink np to where they would be ss mean and as oontemptible as the stingy crowd that curses every community. Such times as we have had the past few days will test tbe average prosper ous citizen, and if he passes through days like these and gives nothing, .the manhood in him is dead and the dog- hood, full fledged and full-grown, has taken the place of his manhood. The fellow that will not give to the needy now is as mean as the rascal who had been married to a good wife ten years, and by her economy and frugality bad been able to accumulate a nice little property. She told him one morning that that was ber birthday. That put bim to thinking how good and kind and helpful his wife bad been, and he determined in his own mind that he would make her a nice present. When he got to town he went into the bat tore arU bought himself a nice hat, saying that he did not know anything that would please his good wife more than to give her husband a bat. A man that won't give to the needy is as mean as a wife-beater, and that's the limit. 1 don't know which I have the most respect for, tbe dirty rascal that will whip bis wife, or the stingy buck that won't give to tbe pool i times of heir need. I have got more respect for a gambler who gives than for the deacon who won't. Not only do ft he poor suffer in weather like this, but commerce, man ufacturing, farming and everything is at a standstill. Not only do railroads suffer th-: !on of traffic, but they can't move tbe little traffic that is move. TtVhon- and telegraph companies have lost millions, no doubt, by this freeze. The damage ia incalculable to all lines of business. But the worst of .11 is the sickness that now is. and that inevitable in weather like this. Pneumonia, grip, influenza, neuralgia and pleurisy all these will do tbeir work. There is more sick people in the United States to-day, perhaps, than in almost any day of our history. We have run a hospital at our home since the 20th of December, and there are hundreds of homes that are in a worse fix than ours. I never felt in more sympathy with the sick and sufferteg than I do now, but the sun will shine again soon. Spring will be on band and everything will move right, believe cotton will go to 8 cents tiarvie Jordan can get his crowd to bold on a little longer. It will go to 10 cents if he can get the acreage cut 25 per cent. Go it, Harvie! I'm betting on you. Cotton has gone up nearly one cent since the New Orleans Cotton Convention, But they didn't do it, The bears that have sold short must have cotton if they have to pay 8 cents for it, when the bulla get after them Good luck and prosperity to the farmers. Yours truly, Sam P. Jokes Salisbury Saloon Keeper Round Over Salisbuby, N, C, Feb. 16. Mr. Samuel Kluttz, a prominent farmer of Rowan county, came near losing his life this week by freezing. He had brought a load of wood to Salisbury on Thursday during the severe weather and upen bis return home bis feet were found hanging out of the wagon and he was discovered to be in a semi conscious condition, being almost froz en to death. Belief measures were at once resorted to and he was resusciated during the night. Salisbury saloon keepers are being menaced by the anti-jug law. Mr. H 0.

This season's potato crop ot the United States is the largest ever known As the United States are not eiporteri of potatoes, but for the last few years have frequently imported enough to make up for the deficiency in the sup ply here, the 288,700,000 bushels of this year's crop will provide three and a half bushes for every man. woman. and child in the United States, which is a little more than the ordinary con sumption. Maine is tbe champion potato State, with a yield of 200 buihels to the acre, and New Hampshire next with 145. Iowa holds the record among the West ern States in potatoes, as in corn, witb 118 bushels to the acre. New York has the largest acreage, with Michigan second, but New York's yield per acre is only 86, less than tbe average of the United States and much lower than the yield of the States situated further north. The acreage planted in potatoes has varied slightly in tbe last four years Almost the same amount is planted every year and the difference in crop comes from the variation in yield. - The prices this year are lower than usual, and during the present month oonsiderbly lower than tbey will be in the spring.

His employer was lenient, but when Peter turned up after having been absent for a couple of days without leave he discharged him. But Peter did not take his discharge seri ousty and went back to work as usual, Again he went on a spree, and again he was discharged and taken back, inese little escapades bad been re peated four or five times within a couple of years, when Peter walked into the shop one morning looking much the worse for his oelebration. "See here," said the employer, "you are dis charged." "Look here," said Peter, i am tired of this. If I am fired again I'Oluit the job." And he went on about his work and has not been fired" since. . lek Meadacne. lay is distressing ailment results from a disordered condition of the stomach. an inai is neeaea to effect a core is a dose or two of Chamberlain's Stomach and liver Tablets.

The Monroe Enquirer says: "Tbe legislators are hammering on dog law. We are, as The Statesville Landmark would say, 'fernenst' a dog law. We do not own a dog, but we do not blame a man or a boy for wanting to keep a dog. Deep down in our heart, liver or whatever it is that Man's affec tions are boxed up ir, we have mighty kindly feeling for a dog. The dog is the one impartial sincere friend. The dog that answers the whistle of the poorest tramp is just as loyal to his master as is the dog that wags his tail to the snap of a millionaire's fingeiv Let the boy and the poorest man in the land have hi dog and enjoy his friendship and his fidelity. Buswe are wasting words about a dog law. Nothing will be doing in the way of a dog law. The talk of dog law, like the poor, is always witb us, but the law does not go on the stat ute books." Subscribing entirely to this just trib ute to the dot;, we are yet of opinion that he should be taxed, though in taking this position we run the chance of losing the valuable services of member of the staff of this paper. Our reasoning, however, is different from that of all others who advocate a dog law. They want such a law in the hope that it would result in the killing off of a lot of dogs. We have no de sire to see that done. The sheep-kill ing dog should, of course, himself be killed, but that can be done without law. The dog should be taxed because he is a great consumer and produce nothing. He ought to pay something for the right to live. This would be in the nature of a poll tax, and the specific reference is to the country dog, In town he is ss big a man as folks, and ought to pay a poll tax for the right to fight in the streets, to get under people's feet as they turn sharp corners, and to bark at night. In a word, the dog ought to pay something toward the expenses of government on account of the privileges he enjoys under it. The cat bas its uses and ha a just claim to exemption from the tax list. Tbe useful horse, tbe patient, unostentatious mule, the mild-eyed cow all these work their way and pay tax besides. The dog, only, is a per fectly privileged citizen, a perfect loafer, a non-producer, and we insist that for the liberties he bas and takes be should pay poll tax to the government under the protecting trgis of which he bas his life, liberty, and freedom in the pursuit of happiness. But, as our Monroe contemporary says, there will be no dug law. mothers final Nurse Tbelr Babies, American Medicine. Perhaps Doctor Jacobi's mott praise worthy pleading, rising to command, is that the mother's milk is the best. It is of course an old story, older than the enthusiasm of Jean Jacques, who, witb bis own hands made gifts for those mothers who obeyed the most primitive and fundamental of duties. The splen did optimism of the knower of his function and tbe lover of bis kind breathes in these weighty sentences of advice and warning. Those mothers who are able should even be compelled to nurse their infants, because no ad ditions or abstractions can ever change tbe cows' milk into human milk. Arti ficial infant feeding, unknown to an tiquity, is verily a disease of modern tims. "It takes modern civilization to expose babies to disease and slow ex tinction." The ancient and Oriental infanticide was indeed more humane, and better for the race than our later hvDOcritic methods. The call of the State to take upon itself its proper duty of protecting tbe young sad of making tbem better procreators and citizens is altogether admirable. President Coming Boalh.

THE WISE JUDGE. Representative Dinsmore, of Arkan sas, tells of a rural justice of the peace in that State who was approached by a man desiring a divorce. The justice was in a quandary. Calling the bailiff to his side, he whispered: "What's the law on this p'int?" "You can't do it," was the reply. "It's out of your jurisdiction." The husband, observing the consul tation between tbe two officials, anxi ously interjected: "I'm willin to pay well; got the money right here in this sock!" At this the justice assumed bis grav est judicial air. Adjusting bis spec tacles, he said: "You know'd before you came here that 'twarnt for me to separate husband and wife; and yet you not only take up the valuable time of here court with yo' talkin', but you actually perpose to bribe me with money! Now, how much have you got in that sock f" " 'Bout six dollars and a half, yo' honah." "All right! Then I fine you five dol lars for bribery and a dollar and a half for takin' up my time with a case outer my juriBkiction. and may the Lord have mercy on your soul!" Cigarettes and Crime, Probation Officer W. C. Johnson, of Kansas City, addressing an audience of several hundred boys in that city, said cigarettes caused nearly all the down fall among youths. yIn nearly every case where a boy breaks into a store the first thing he steals is tobacco. "Out of 450 bays who have been taken into the Juvenile Court," said Mr. Johnson, ninety-five per cent, were cigarette smokers. I never saw a boy who played hookey at school but did not also smoke cigarettes. The habit is the beginning of crime. "I know a little fellow on the west side who lies on the bed for two and three hours at a time smoking cigar- ettea. He ha become addicted to the habit and says he cannot stop it. He will be sent to a reform school where he can't get the poisonous things. "Two boy were caught stealing in a tore not long ago. Etch was a cigar ette smoker. One -of them quit this habit, however, and braced up. Now he is the leader of a Sunday School olass, while the other, who kept on with tbe cigarettes, bas gone lower ever since." Plraed His Pin. Kansas City Times. "Did you ever notice," asked the ho tel clerk yesterday, "how many men there are who make it their business to pick little things, such as threads and specks, off your clothes while standing talking to youT Well, sir, there are lots of them, and that picking i habit with them. They do it uncon sciously. No matter how well brushed you are, the man with the habit will begin picking at you when he meets you." "I've notioed them many a time,' said a traveling man standing near, but I have quit letting them pick at my clothes. I once had an experience with one of those fellows that wasn'i pleasant. I had known him slightly and chanced to meet him on the street one day. He began picking specks of dirt and such things from my coat, and he kept it up all the time we talked. A couple of minutes after he had left I missed a $200 diamond pin. That cured me of letting people pick thing off my clothes. Nowadays simply ask the man who tries it to desist. If necessary I hold hi hands." Afraid of Strong medicines.
