The one sure way to save it is, by depositing it in a responsible bank.

That is a hard thing to say about any human being, and yet with reference to the person at whom it is aimed, it is strictly true. The Dispatch is discussing, in the article from which we quote, the benefit of a funeral, now and then, to the progress of the community. In almost every town there is some old skinflint who owns property in the heart of the town that he will neither sell nor improve. His neigh bors embellish their property ana thus enhance the beauty and attrac tiveness of the town, but his stands in weeds and trash, unkempt and offensive, a blot on the neighbor hood, a slander on the community, a challenge to decency and a block to all progress, v An old pifce like tnis is always opposed to schools, to good roads and smooth streets, to light and water and every elements of pro gress in our civic life. He is gener erally a kicker to all moral progress, lining up with the saloon Decause 11 helps to pay the taxes that are wrenched from his unwilling nanas. Of course, as the Dispatch says, any community ia better off with Buch a man dead than alive, une trouDie about these old soldiers is that they never die. They outlive everybody else, and they, appear to find their highest joy m standing rignt across the path of progress. They are ex perts at standing, iney are op posed to motion. When one of them doeafinallv co the way of all the earth, those who hope to gather up a few of the fragments lift up their voices in lamentation, but few tears are shed by the public at large; and thus unhonored they go down to their graves, and the waste places they delighted to waste, are built up and blossom like -the rose. It is a pity that they live so long, but a blessing that they do not live for ever. As we sau at me Deguinuig, this is a hard thin to say about, r- bodv but we are bound to comess that the Dispatch spoke the solemn truth. The best Jhmg. that some men ever do ior the world is to die. Report has it that Major Charles M. Stedman, of Greensboro, is to be appointed president of the Worth Carolina Kailroad and that Mr. a. n.

Two of the counties that have been cursed with whiskey stillsrtuck about in the caves and nl3i the creeks, are Wilkes and Yadkin. For years lacking police protection, these stills debauched many of Jiie young men, increased the crimes on the criminal docket, and often produced murder. Some days ago this paper printed some facts showing the re markable progress in public schools and rural libraries in Wilkes county. To-day we are taking the liberty of making an extract from a private letter written the editor of this pa per by a leading citizen in Yaikin county: ' - "I thought perhaps you woulu be personally interested to know of the educational and moral progress in Yadkin, since, in my judgement as well as others, no county in the state presents more striking charges for the better along educational a ar.cn- Ing within the last eight years tran does Yadkin county.

I do not think that there is another county n the state of anything like the finan cial standing of Yadkin that can equal her in good school houses and equipments. We have now only one log school house for whites in the county.

He had been selling key rings and other trinkets for a livehood and stated that he had been able to make his way about all right until the malady from which he was suffering render ed him nearly helpless. Finding a friend in Dr. H. D. Stewart, the county physician, he stated that be had been once a practicing physician in Tennessee, was the son of a well known physician, and had prominent relatives, whose addresses he reiusea to give, However, he did give the address of a former class mate, to whom he said Dr. Stuart might write for a verification of his statements. This the latter did and received a prompt reply from which the follow ing extracts are taken: I received your letter and regret very mnch to learn of the sad end of one of the brightest students I ever knew. "Yes, we were class mates, but it was in the medical department of the University of Tennessee, class 1884. His father, W. M Vertress, M.

The fight for the removal of the Gaeton county court h'us from Del- las on the one side and its retention at Dallas on the one side and its re tentiomat Dallas on the other, which has been going on for years past, is evidently reaching a climax. The county commissioners have decided to build a new court house and that has broueht matters to a head. Ga-stonia is bidding against Dallas for the court house. Gastonia offers a cash purse of $43,000, will give at least $7,000 for the county's property at Dallas and will give tree water, lights and sewerage for a period of ten years. Dallas makes game with a cash offer of $21,000 for the re tention of the court house. The fight is not only fierce, but it is not friendly. A good deal of bad feeling has existed over the county for years and will continue to exist for some time, no matter how the question is settled . " Big Pile of Gold at the Exposition. Seattle, Wash.. Dinpatch. The Alaska Building at the expo sition opened its. gold exhibit with a display of $400,000 of dust, nuggets and bars. In a few days dust and mio-trets valued at $700,000, now on the way from Alaska, will be added, and the United States Assay Office and various Alaska miners have nrnmised enough gold to make the yellow pile worth $1,500,000. In the exhibit already assembled are Jaget Lindberg's $3,000 Nome, nugget, the largest'ever found in Alaska, and S3 other nuggets from Seward Peninsula, as well as Mrs. Clarence Berry s $70,000 collection of nuggets, one of which weighs 115 ounces. . Tokuto Sakai, Imperial Commis sioner for the Tokia Exposition, has arrived to visit the exposition.

Lumberton Dispatch. A sensational personal encounter occurred here about a week ago in which Rev. Sam Stephens and three gentlemen from the country were engaged. Mr. Stephens is doing missionary work among the Croatans in this county, having been sent here from the Northern Methodist church. It is reported that since he has been among these people he has been en deavoring to instill into their minds the fact that social equality was tne proper thing for them and the white people. He seems to busy himself trying to stir up strife between the races and as a result .of his work a young man, who is in poor health and unable to defend himself, was terrihlv beaten bv a Croatan while STAIl KfWS.

The purchasers are to forma Nrrth Carolina corporation and enter into the drainage of the district. They have made an agree ment that will include 125.000 acres of swamp owned by individuals and accomplish the drainage, making 175.000 acres available for agricul ture. This Und is the richest in the whole country. The corporation commissioner has taken up a vigorous manner an in vestigation of the action of the Southern Railway company in taking .ff two of the most Important trains on the Murohv branch beyond Ashe- ville. The train appear to have been discontinued without notice to anyone and without regard for the convenience to the traveling public. Members of the commission insist that the trains must be restored at "once and the Southern promises to do this just as soon as the damage from a tunnel cave-in can be re paired. . Dr. J. W.

CofA-Growiaf m Rowaa. "The report of J. S.

The average yield of corn per acre was forty-seven bushels at an average cost, exclusive of cost of land of 15 cents per bushel. The banner was taken by A. S. Dean, who pro duced 100 bushels of corn per acre. Old Rowan can't be beat and is hard to keep up with, in fact to keep in Rowan's class is going some, to use a street expression. next seen he was slashing at his throat, and fell dead in the arms of a neighbor whom the wife had called in to assist in watching him. De spondency over inability to procure work is given as the cause of the deed. Fatal Bicycle Accident. Clarence Monroe, aged 13. a West- pm Union messenger boy. son of Mrs. Robert Monroe, of Salisbury, was seriously injured there Monday afternoon while on a bicycle. In avoiding a collision with a street car he ran into a delivery wagon tne shaft of which pierced him in the side. So terrific was the blow that it required two men to pull the boy from the shaft. His shoes were torn from his feet. In an uncon scious condition he was carried to a physician's office for treatment. Master Julian Morrison, son of Mr. J. K.
