AUNT HETTY ON MATRIMONY.
from an Old Paper.
Now firirla. said Aunt Hetty, put
down your embrcidery and worsted
work, do no me thins: sensible and
I stop building aircastles, and ' talking
of lovers and honey moons : it makes
me sick, it's perfectly antimonial.
Love is a farce matrimony is a
humbug, husbands are domestic
Napoleons, Neroesi Alexanders,
sighing: for other hearts to conquer
after they are sure of yours. The !
honey-moon is as short lived as a
lucy tier match; after that you may
wear your wedding dress at the
wash tub. and your night cap to
meeting, and your husband wouldn't;
know it. You may pick up vour
own pocket handkerchief, help your
self to a chair, and split your gown
across the back reaching over the
table to get a piece of butter, while
he is laying in his breakfast as if it
was the last meal he should eat in
theworld ; when he gets through he
will aid your digestion, (while you
are sipping your first cup of coffee.)
by inquiring what you'll have for
dinner, whether the c&Id lamb was
all ate yesterday ; if the charcoal is
all out, and what you gave for the
last tea you bought. Then he gets
up from the table, lights his cigar
with the last evening's paper that
you have net had a chance to read ;
gives two or three whiffs of smoke,
sure to give you a headache (f or the
afternoon, just as his coat tail is
vanishing through the door, apolo
gises for not ;doing ''that errand"
for you yesterday thinks it" doubt
ful' if he can today "so pressed
with business," Hear of him at 11
o'clock, taking ice cream with some
ladies at Vinton s while you are at
home now lining his coat sleeves.
Children by the ears all day, can't
get out to take the air, feel crazy as
a fly in a drum; husband comes home
at night, nods a "how dy'edo. Fan,"
boxes Charles's ears, stands little
Fanny in the corner, sits down in
the warmest corner, puts his feet up
over grate, shutting out all the7 fire,
while the baby s little pugnose
grows blue with the cold, reads the
newspaper all to himself, solaces his
inner man with a . cup of tea and
just as you are laboring under the
hallucinatin that he will ask you to
take a mouthful of fresh air with
him, he puts on his dressing gown
and begins to reckon the family ex
penses, alter wnien ne lies down on
the sC, and you keep time with
youtfneedle, while, he snores , till 9
o'clock I -
Next morning ask . him to leave
"a little money," he looks at you as
if to be sure that you are in your
right mind, draws a sigh long enough
to inflate a pair of bellows, and asks
you what do you want with it, and
if a half dollar won't do." Gracious
king!' as if those little shoes, and
pettiecoats could be had for a half
dollar ! Oh, girls ! set your affection
on cats, poodles, parrots, or lap dogs
but not matrimony. It's the hard
est way on earth of getting a living
-you never know when your work
is' done up.i Think of carrying eight
or nine children through the measles,
chicken pox, rash, mumps, and
scarlet fever, some of em.' twice
over : it makes my headache to think
of it. Oh.i you may scrimp, and
save, and twist and turn, and dig,
and delve, and economize, and die.
and your husband will marry again,
and take what you have , saved to
dress his second . wife with, and
she'll take your portrait for i-a fire-
board : bat what s the use 01 talk
ing? I'll warrant every one of you'll
try it, the first .chance you get :
there's a sort of bewitchmedt about
it. somehow.
I wish one-half of the world warn t
fools and to'ther half idiots.
THE NEW NEWSPAPER UW.
Florida Resort Hotels Hit.
Charlotte Observer.
'The recent panic has hurt
Ctiariotle Cbroaieia... : J, , .
We see it stated that Mr. H. B.
Varner. editor of the Lexington Dis
patch and who is also president of
the National Editorial Association,
has gone to Washington to see the
Postmaster General about ihe new
ruling in regard to newspapers and
delinquents. As has been mentioned
in this paper, dailies, under th new
rule, must be paid for within three
months, tn-weekly papers must be
paid for within six months, semi-
weekly papers within nine months
and weekly papers within one year.
the publisher continues to send
beyond these periods he will do it at
the risk of being deprived of second-
lass postal privileges. Mr- V arner
wants to have this ne rti teld up
for a year, presumably to allow publ
ishers to unite in a fight against it.
The Chronicle has expressed its satis
faction, with the new law, in that it
will prevent the padding of circula
tion lists for advertising purposes, a
custom that prevails m different
parts of the country. The Yorkville,
S. C, Enquirer has about the correct
view of the case. It says that the
new arrangement will have the ef
fect of doing for all country publish
ers what ought to have been done all
along ; but what few of them have
been able to do for themselves put
ting them on a strictly business basis.
Hereafter publishers who 1 seek to
work up circulations for the profit
they may hope to get out of adver
Using and publishers who seek to es
tablish campaign organs for the pur
pose of getting the announcement
cards of the small candidates and- so
much a line for booming those who
contend for the more important of
nces, win nna tne business con
fronted with rather serious ob
stacles. "The incentive to the prac
tices described," says the Enquirer,
was the building up of circulations
to enhance the "value of advertising
space and increase the influence of
the papers following such methods.
On the other hand there was no j lit
tle annoyance to the public. The in
dividuals to whom the papers were
sent, found themselves importuned
or pay, and as a rule there was no
other way but of the annoyance .ex
cept by continual submission to the
imposition. The new orders of 'the
Postmaster General will make a rad
ical change in the practices jde
scribed, and hereafter all newspa
pers will have to be conducted on
what amounts to a cash , in advance
basis." With this view of the case.
we should think the new law, instead
of being objectionable, is an entirely
proper and desirable one. j 4 j.

Lee Slater Overman. United Slates
Senator from North Carolina, - was
born in Salisbury, January 3, 1854
and was graduated from Trinity
College with the degree of A. B.L in

years, after graduation and then be

began the practice of law in 1880.
Five times he was elected a member

was the unanimous choice of the
Democrats for the speakership, but
was defented by a combination j of
the Republicans and independents.
He was elected speaker of the house
in 1893. In 1894 he was president of
the North Carolina Railroad Com

the Democratic caucus for the
United States senatorship, I but was
defeated by Senator , ' Pritchard

Chnrlotte Observer. '
The census bureau issued yester
day its rep&rti showing the amount
of cotton ginned up to January 1st
as being 9,955,427 bales against 11,-
741.039 on the corresponding date
last year. This report was inteteted
as beinj? decidedly bullish, and a
slieht advance of about 10 to 15
Doints was discernible in the market.
Local cotton men who expressed
themselves declare that the report
wai under the figure generally ex
pected. It is believed widely now
that! the total crop will not amount to
more than 11.250.000 bales.
The spot situation is gradually
and constantly i showing . lmproye
m"it. There is every indication to
h lieve that hereafter better prices
will nrevail. The cotton being of
fered is largely poor stuff, badly
stained, showing that the end of the
iron is near. - The farmers who held
their crops have better cba-ces than
ever to realize on their noiamg,
Florida hotels to an extent which few
realize, remarked a prominent
traveling man to an Observer repor
ter at the belwyn yesterday. I have
just returned from a crip South and
1 learn ehat a number are not to open
at all. The Florida hotel managers
are blue over the prospects for they
see terrible times ahead. Those who
are to open are trimming their sails
in order to meet the expected strin
gency. I am not surprised to learn
that the Southern is to cut oft its
fast Florida trains this winter,
They have never paid even with
the travel secured during prosperous
times, ana tne toss-mis season would
doubtless have , been enormous,
trom what 1 know of the travel, the
Chicago Limited will be about the
only train to be operated, , although
one or two others may be put on- for
a week or- two. The Florida resort
hotels have heretofore depended
largely on the New England tourists
for the bulk of their trade and this
will be reduced to a minimum this
winter. I would not be surprised to
learn that some of the largest of
them will go into the hands of re
ceivers before the season is over,

A TUIE fR ECONOMY.
-Chartaatpaj Nw a4 CoarW. '
Although South Carolina bee-ins
the year with plenty corn in the crib
and a great deal .of cotton which
will probably ! be sold at good
prices daring tie next seven months,
steadily bringing money tn to cir
culation, it is well to bear in mind
that the financial condition of the
country is, still nervoy, and one can
not predict in these circumstances
what is likely to happen- Conse
quently, prudence and common senae
dictate to our people that they should
to an unusual degree practice econo
my in expenditures. Nothing xdot4
quickly relieves hard times than
prompt meeting of obligations, and
it should be every man's endeavor to
pay his debts as they become due if
he possibly can pay them, but until
the skies have cleared caution should
be exercised in contracting obliga
tions that might not be. in the least
extravagant in normal ' times. Gen
erally speaking, there is no severe
money stringency in this State, and
what is felt is the reflection of the.
stringency elsewhere, but we should
bear in mind that we cannot escape
the operation of causes i that alTect
other parts 01 the country. .
Undoubtedly, improvement throu-j
ghout the country has set in, but it
has not gone far enough for anybody
to feel entirely easy. Our people
occupy; very firm ground at present;
the farmers particularly are in ptron-i
ger position than they have beeni
in years, and their gained advantage
will be permanent if they willj keep
in mind that extravagance is dangeV
OU3 when the financial world is not
exactly sure "where it is at." i ' i
i Money that is saved now will be
quite as good for spending purposes
three months or six. months hence
anyhow.
PASSING Of TMt PANIC
Tilled Husbands. , ' j
Most Americans thought that
when Miss.Consuelo Vanderbilt, her
self seemingly an amiable and charm
ing woman, married the 1 Duke of
Marlbrough some , years since
a real honorable . love match had
been made between an American
heiress and an i English nobleman.
The thought has long since perished
as the Duchess is now living in sor
rowf ul and disappointed retirement
and the Duke live3 is staying well
it matter not where nor how. This
has brought to mind the cost to
American heiresses of these worth
less foreign titles. Ou' "first; fam
lies (?)" declares Mr. Henry Clews
"have sent nine hundred million dol-
Mars abroad with those worthless
marriages. A ! New York news
paper man recently compiled a : list
of thirty three divorce suit3 of Amer
ican wives against titled foreigners.
A recent magazine writer says Wi
have before us now a list of
twentyj seven American girls who
have married European princes'
and there are likely 'to be twenty
seven divorce suits in- the courts ! at
no distant date. Of all the money
spent in sheer folly, in simple sense
less stupidity for misery and uunhap-
piness this of American heirss for
foreign title caps: the climax.
Progress of the South. 1
j The Chattanooga Tradesman An
nual contains among its important
features an elaborate review of
Southern progress during 1907, in
which the following interesting faefs
are given: I '!
The principal crops were a3 f ol-
ows: j ' , . i v i :
Hay of all kinds, tons 7.590.000.
Wheat, bushels 91,433.000j V '
Corn, bushels 959,743,000.;
Oats, bushels, 67,338.000. !
Tobacco, pounds, 437,139,000.
Rice, bushels, 21,412.000. !
Two notable increases over the pre
vious year are shown by these
figures,; the Southern hay crop being
25 per cent, greater than in 1906, and
the rice crop increased nearly the
same percentage.
During the last five years, tiowever
agriculture has made such progress
m the Southern States, that the corn
crop has increased nearly 50 per
cent. The rice crop is five times
greater while as already stated, the
fodder crop has enlarged 25 per cent.
in a single year. In 1900 the value
of products of vegetable gardens of
the South was $13,000,000; at present
the annual yield of orchards and
vineyards in this section is over $30,-
000,000 making the sunt total of the
annual fruit and truck product of
the South fully $150,000,000.
During the last cotton year we
sent out of the country about "8,500,-
000 bales of raw i cotton,- fully two-
thirds of the crop: but such is the
growth of the cotton industry in the
united btates that the boutn now
contains 700 mills, Operating nearly
10,000,000 spindles and 1908 will add
fully 20 more plants. The States
of North and South Carolina have no
less than 400 plants with 6,300,000
spindles, : ..-(-
All Due to Teddy Bears.
The popularity of the Teddy bear
is causing trouble in the iurmture
business. It seems a far cry from
the ubiquitous little animal to the
upholstered parlor set, but there is
really an intimate connection be
tween the two.
While the plush skin of the Teddy
bear is by' no means identical with
the plush used for upholstering, the
same machine is used for making
both. The enormous demand for the
bearskin plush the last year or twq
has kept these machines so busy that
comparatively little furniture plush
has been turned out.:
The consequence is that the latter
material is scarce and high, the
price having gone up almost 30 per
cent. What is called fur clothes of
all kinds, has, become higher because
higher because of the Teddy bears.
Plushes1 used for women s coats
have suffered because the bears had
to be equipped to mere with a good
skin, no I matter what happened to
mere furniture and; women.' 4

KeU Sirlns Cltin.
Dr. J. J., McElwee. Secretary of

gives the following recipe for small
POK. .
'I herewith aDDend a recine which
has been used, to my knowledge, ' in
hundreds of cases of small-pox. lit
will prevent or Cure though the pit
tings are fillings. . When Jener dis
covered the cow pox in England the
world of science overwhelmed him
with fame, but when the most scien
tific school of medicine in the world
that of Pans, published this recipe It
passed unheeded. It is as unfailirtir
as fate, and conquers in every in
stance. Jit will also cure -scarlet
fever. Here i the recipe as I hive
used it to cure small-pox: Sulphate
of Zinc, one grain: digitalis, one
grain; one-half teaspoonf ulj Dis-
solve in a wine glass of! soft water
which has been boiled and cooled.
Take teaspoonf ul every ! hour
Either scarlet fever or small-pox
will disappear ift twelve hours. For
children the dose must be. dimished
according to age. If communities
will compI their physicians to ;uee
this treatment, there will be no need
of. pest houses. If you value your
lie use this recipe.
