Editor of the Anglo-Saxon Changes Hla Opinion Hegardlne; Trinliy'a President. Rockingham Anglo-Saxon. ' ' Rev. Dr. Kilgo, president of Trinity Cgjlege, preached in the Methodist church of this town last Sunday morn ing and evening to large congregations. The writer's estimate of Dr. Kilgo has been changed. He has kept posted on the Clark-Kilgo controversy and to be honest he has always taken Clark's side in that matter, and the conclusion he has now reached is that both were to a degree wrong. Jut we have been the . least bit prejudiced against Dr. Kilgo. That's an honest confession, but still we believe there were slight grounds for this dislike. And we now believe further, that a chaDge has come upon both these great men, and a right kind of change. That clash re vealed each to himself and good has come of it. We saw and heard Dr. Kilgo at dis trict conference at Troy a few years ago, and we imagined it, or it was really so, he was czarish in his de meanor and language. Not so now, but humility and deep piety pervades his entire being. That's the way he im presses a casual observer. And that sermon (we mean that one delivered Sunday night, for we were not out at the morning service), was the most powerful compilation of truths, tactfully and forcefully delivered to which we have ever listened. We have heard many great sermons, but none to surpass this one. He took for his text, Matth. 3:14; classified the earth's history into successive creative and meditative peiiods; the burden of the theme beiDg religious decadence. Many of the statements alarmingly true are awful in their contemplation, and although richly bedecked with the powers of rhetoric each one was within the grasp of the weakest intellect. That the whole discourse was a com pilation of truths every hearer had but to appeal to his own knowledge and conscience for corroborative testimony. Here we eo. readers, bavins a form of godliness denying the power thereof. That this is the period -of religious de cadence none will dispute; and that the sun of American greataeea hss passed its zenith is no longer in doubt. The religious pulse indicates the true con dition of the body politic, and as re gards this nation this is now weak and palpitating. Dr. Kilgo suggested the manner of rehabilitation, and we truBt and believe the sermon will do great and lasting good. A Falibfnl Servant. Charlotte Observer. The Salisbury Post, in referring to the retirement of Representative Klutlz after serving six years in the lower house of Congress, says: "Surely no man ever had more cause to contemplate with satisfaction his stewardship. While holding his own with the ablest debaters in the House, Mr. Kluttz's chief claim upon the grati tude of his constituent is his record of unflagging devotion to hss State's inter ests and things accomplished. In the committee rooms, with the Departments and individual members he took high rank from the first year. In the mat ter of securing free delivery routes he out stripped any other member of the North Carolina delegation and was proportionately successful in all other undertakings. North Carolina, the South, the nation, needs more represen tatives like Mr. Kluttz." Posting Sister's Bean. Philadelphia Telegraph. - He was a naughty little brother; but little brothers always are naughty on such occasions. Sister's young gentle man was waiting patiently in the drawing-room, and Tommy opened fire with: "Are you going to propose to my "Why. I er er er what do fou mean?"

Henry Watterson in Louisville Courler JouraaL The idle millionaije, whether he has a title or not, must follow the fashion if he would keep in the swim and to keep in the swim is the one objective point. For him the year is subdivided, laid out in regular parterre, like an Italian garden, ancl he must ever fulfill his. destiny as a gentleman of wealth and leisure; the world to him six sea sonsParis, London, Switzerland, the shooting box in Scotland, the country house in England, the South of France. He buys a palace, lives in it awhile and goes away. "So awfully dreary, doncherknow." He buys a yacht, tires of it, sells it and buys another. "Nothing like the water doncher know." The automobile craze caught him where he was weakest for fast, fast, faster is (he world and he is now scudding and scorching over Continen tal byways having found a new and costly toy which perhaps aocounts for some of the absentees from Nice. In a word, fortune's favorite is never happy except when he. is giving proof that he can spend more money than his rival, yet wreched when he finds how little it brings him either of dis tiction or diversion. To tell the truth, the women get on much better than the men. They still love to dance. It shows their faces It parades their gowns. The men de spise dancing. "Too fatiguing, don cherknow." It is so much easier to gamble and to flirt. Your professional beauty, on the other band, has a deal to engage her herself to begin with; then clothes; ihen diamonds; ropes of Dear Is: and. finally, the men. If hard put to it, she can amuse herself of i rainy afternoon before her looking' glass; selfish and vain, and a philoso pher. When the men get tired of one another or get broke they .will oome after her. She knows that, and she knows them only too well. She has learned all their tricks and their man ners, and can talk slang and scandal ith them, smoke and drink with them, and often beat them a,t bridge or baccarat. For my part, I would embezzle no man of his happiness; not even his money; though sometimes I want to take one of these blase youngsters of two or three and twenty, who fancies he knows the world, and that outside tbe titles and tbe dollars there is noth in it, and tell him what .an ass he is, and put him in a Keeley cure for sim pletons. Wanted more Hay. Two clubmen were praising the pluck of dogs. "A good dog," said one, "has the same kind of pluck that old Jerome McWade used to show. "He was a farmer, seventy years old, but still hale and gay. One morning he and his two sons got to wrangling over their strength, and Jerome declared that he could load quite as fast as they could pitch it. " 'You at your age, do thatf said the young men. 'Never. " 'We'll have a trial,' said Jerome. Come out to the fields and we'll have a trial now.' "So to the fields they went, and Jerome got into a hay wagon with his fork, and the -two boys, down below, began to pitch the hay up to him as fast as they could pitch it "The old man stood up to bis work stoutly. He loaded with lightning speed and all the while he kept calling down: More hayl More hayl -"The boys worked hard. Their youth told in their favor. Old Jerome got to loading more and more untidily. Still, as he scrambled about on top of the uneven mounds, he continued to shout 'more hay.' "All a a sudden he tripped as he dug in his fork and fell from the wagon to the ground. ' 'Aha.' said his oldest son, 'what are you doing down here?' "Jerome, as he rose, answered : 'I came down ftr more hay.' " Proof Positive. Yes." said the voune man, "the girl I am engaged to is an angel." - . . Ohf sure," sneered the scanty haired man who had been up against the matrimonial game for many years That's what they all say." "But she is all right," continued the smitten youth, .e.ven motner hji she is too good for me."

Atlanta Journal. Take op the map of theulf and At Iantic coast country and note the strat egic location of the city of Key West with reference to Havana. As the gull flies it is just ninety miles from the American city to tbe capital of Cuba. When you come to realize the com paratively short stretch of water it does not seem incredible to think of loading a car in the north or west or east and ending that car without break of bulk to Havana. It is an easy task to ferry freight cars from Key West to Havana. Car ferries that cross Lake Michigan take loaded trains a longer way. The difficulty is to get the car to Key West. The Florida East Coast railway is working on that problem at this time. It proposes to extend its line through the everglades of Florida and using the numerous islands as stepping stones, build elevated trestle work to connect them, and thus reach the city of Key West. This undertaking the surveys have been made is regarded by the Scien title American as "undoubtedly the most notable feat in railroad engineer ing which has ever been conceived." The nearest approach to it is the Lucin cut-off, built by the Union Pa cifio across Salt Lake in Utah. It con' lists of a wooden trestle work of 26 miles. But the Florida project requires besides the building over the everglades and the using of the islands more than 40 miles of trestle over tbe open water. The Lucin cut-off, however, has no trouble with tides or storms. The Florida railroad will be menaced at many points by the fierce Atlantic gales. Fortunately the rock founda tion is good and while the work will be very expensive it can be made stable. The expense of this work will be am- dIv justified. The carrying trade of Cuba is becoming immensely valuable And what is equally, or rather more important, is the sigi ificant fact that Key West is 250 miles nearer to the Panama canal than any other city in the United States. Summary of Results ot Legislature, There were 1,235 acts of the Legisla ture and 36 resolutions, while 2,012 bills aere introduced. All the fiigures are somewhat larger than two years ago.

Blackmar, tbe new com mander-in-chief of the O. A. R., was talking to a group of soldiers in Boston when a fakir came and held out for in spection a rusty old sword. 'Look at it, gents," he said: "exam ine it close. It is the sword what Lee surrendered to Grant. ' You cau have it for $5." "Go along with you," said one of the soldiers sternly. "Go along with you. You can't fool us." The faker hurried away and Gen. Blackmar said: "That was, indeed, an impudent fraud, wasn't it? It reminds me of the frauds that were practised in the old relic shows that used to be a feature of country fairs. "At a country fair in my youth there was a show devoted almost to biblical relics. I wish you could have seen the faded cloth, the rusty nails, and the brass jewels that did duty severally for a piece of Solomon's robe, an earring of the Queen of Sheba, Absalom's hair pin, David's sling, and so on. In the place of honor hung a sword, and the showman said: " 'This is the sword that Baalam was going tc kill his ass with.' " 'But,' I interposed, 'I thought that Baalam had no sword. I thouht he only wished for one." " 'You are right,' said the show man, 'this is the sword be wished for.' " Ihe Editor's Apology. An excited military looking man en tered the editorial sanctum of a Missou ri paper the other day and exclaimed: "That notice of my death is false, sir. I will horsewhip you within an inch of your life, sir, if you don't apologize in next issue." An editor who is up to bis business always knows how to get appropriate apologies when they are dt manded. That editor knew his busi nets. The next day his paper contained the following apology: "We regret ex tremely to announce that the paragraph which stated that Major Blazer is dead is without foundation." Tonlblul Diplomacy. "Now, sir," said the indignant mother to her naughty five-year-old son, "I'm going to give you a gocd whipping." "If you U cut it out, mamma," re joined the diplomatic youngster, "I'll use my influence with papa to get you a new sealskin sack." He Knew. "Dad," said little Reginald, "what is a bucket shop ?"

Joyner, the State Superintendent ef Education, showed that in 1904 the negroes received from the school funds $244,847 from their 221,545 children of school age. The whites for 402,839 children received $929,000. The negro es having one-third of the school popu lation received about one fifth of the school money. They paid in taxes fer schools 1126,000, besides their share of liquor licenses, fines, etc., and of the school tax paid by corporations. There fore, Mr. Joyner says as a matter of fact the negroes do not iecsive for the teach ing of their children any more than they pay. He argues that certainly there is no danger of the negro children with a little over a dollar a year each allowed for their education, having their" heads turned by the study of Latin and Greejc and other higher branches of learning. The Richmond News-Leader takes this as the subject for a very sen sible editorial on the recent ffort to di vide the school money in order "to save the east." That paper concludes that "the truth is that by the require ments of the constitution, by the laws of honor and magnanimity and mercy and by the demands of common sense and business judgment, the white people at the South must provide at least the elements of education for the negroes, regardless of who pays the bills or how heavy the burden may be." North Carolina takes that view and it will always stand to the credit of the State.
