A inor.tr the commonest faults that mar humanity are envy and jealousy. They are complementary faults usu ally coexistent, envy bein the desire to possess that which belongs to an other; iealousv beinsr thp rl rsirf to keep in exclusive possession some thing which may be one's own or common proDertv. Envv has a somewhat broader sense than covet- ousness, which is prohibited in one of the commandments, but it at least includes coyetousness if it is not a synonym therefor. It is a petty and contemptible fault, but like many other faults, may be de veloped by habit. Its development may therefore, be resisted by the cultivation of generosity and sym pathy. The natural disposition of an en vious man is to exalt his own suc cess and decry those of other people, even those whom he is pleased to call his friends. He soon develops a venomous, malignant disposition. Some acquaintance or friend passes him in the race of life; instead of re joicing in the latter's success he seeks depreciatory explanations of it. His envy leads him to detraction, and he explains that not his friend's merit but .some fortuitous circumstance led to promotion or proved the turning point in a successful career. Re flections of this kind render the en vious man morose and unhappy. He is not only envious of his friends; he is discontented with himself. He bars the way to his own advance ment by the evil of his disposition, for he is not an agreeable companion; he sacrifices the friendships that might have been of service to him, and by his brooding over imaginary slights and wrongs he chills the en ergy that might have served to help him in his own career. Far from encouraging the growth of an en vious disposition, one should aim to repress it. If we cannot rejoice over the good fortune of others we should at least refrain from envy of them, attending strictly to our own dis charge of duty in the coufident be lief that rewards will come to those who deserve them. The reasons for success or failure are not always ob vious; sometimes chance plays a part in determining the course of one's life, but in general there is something more than mere chance; there is merit of some kind back of every advancement. One workman re mains at the bench all his life; an other of no greater manual skill be comes a foreman, is admitted to the firm, and at the end of 23 or HO years ii widely separated from his fellow apprentice. To the superficial ob s?rver the men may be on terras of equality, but there is generally some difference between them, not neces sarily a difference of intellectual power or manual skill, but a differ ence of character. It may be that one is timid, retiring, lacking decis ion; the other bold, enterprising and bright; the one is a good servant, the other is fitted to command; the one remains a workman, the other is advanced and given control of a shop or department. One man has a genius for business; another of equal or greater intellect ual power lacks enterprise, the abil ity to master details or the patience to keep accounts; the one will succeed where the other fails. But there is no reason or excuse for envy on the part of the man whose equipment has has proved inferior. He should re joice that his friend or companion, has succeeded, or should at least banish from his mind any feeling of envy, contenting himself with do ing his own work to the' best of his ability.' Envy accomplishes nothing, but tends to make its victim misan thropic. It is a fruitful source of utihappiness, ami instead of inspiring such emulation as might be of service, tends to paralyze effort and thus render the envious man less an less fit to compete for the prizes yet within his reach. Doing good is the only certainly happy action in a man's life. An Kpideniie of l)iirrlioea. Mr A.

Alii' AM) THE K00KS. imi Nays There Is No Entertainment as (heap as 1 reading. borne notable person I believe it was Lady Montague said "There is no entertainment so cheap as read ing and no pleasure as lasting." Especially is this true nowadays when there is so much to read that is cheap, instructive and interesting. In fact, reading is now the best part of a liberal education. A well read person is wiser, happier and better fitted for the duties and trials of life than the scholar who has graduated at the top in the arts and sciences. Of course, I mean good reading such as history, ancient and modern, biog raphy, where we get both example and precept; good story books and standard novels that teach good morals; good magazine literature and good newspapers, whose editors are conscientious and feel their respon sibility. "As a man sows, so shall he reap,'' and we might as truly say what a child reads, so will Ids or her moral and emotional charater be. The schools educate the intel lect only, but reading affects the heart, the emotions and passions and establishes the character of the young for good or for evil. Man has been defined to be a bundle of pre judices, and these prejudices most generally come from the books, magazines or newspapers that we read. Little stories like "Androcles and the Lion" or Damon and Pythias" have moulded the character of thou sands of children, and just so have "liobinson Crusoe, " the "Young Ma rooners" and the '"Swiss Family Uobinson" established the characters of children of a larger growth. Whether a man despises or admires Napoleon depends on whether he has read Scott or Abbott. Whether a man was a Whig or Democrat in the old times depended on the news paper he took. As great a man as Dr. Miller, who was an old line Whig, had a contempt for Thomas Jefferson because he was per-se the founder of the Democratic party. "Jefferson must have been a very great man," said I, "for he wrote the Declaration of Independence." "And what is that," said the doctor, "but a series of ungrammatical platitudes that any school boy might have written. The first sentence is ridiculous,, for it says a decent respect for the opin ions of mankind. A decent respect! Who ever heard of an indecent re spect? Why didn't he say 'respect for' and leave out the decent," and he scarified the whole document from a Whig standpoint. Well I was ruminating about this while reading Percy Gregg's high toned but merciless criticism of Har riet Heecher Stowe, "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Gregg had sojourned in the South during slavery times and knew the book was a lie when it was writ ten, and that it was written to in flame the Northern mind and precip itate a collison. That Heecher family was smart, unprincipled and malig nant. It was Henry Hard Heecher who incited old John Brown to his reckless deeds and daring and who declared from his pulpit that Sharp's rifles were better missionaries than IJibles, and that to shoot at a slave holder and miss him was a sin against heaven. It was that same Heecher who, while a preacher, seduced the wife of one his members and broke up the family, and after weeks of a mock trial got a whitewashing ver dict from a packed committee. But I was ruminating about the far- reaching influence and effect of that book and how it lired the Northern heart and the English heart against us, and how it was a lie and wholly misrepresented our people, and how the Lord cursed Shemaiah, one of the prophets, because he made the people believe a lie, and how St. John said no one should enter heaven who ioveth or maketh a lie, and so I was wondering where the Beechers are now. But the trouble is they won't stop. Almost every mail brings me news papers with marked articles denounc ing us and threatening us for this lynching business, and they all pity the fate of Sam Hose and weep over that incendiary scoundrel w hom they call that good, inoffensive old preach er Lige Strickland. May the Lord have mercy upon us and keep us calm and serene, is my prayer. My last comes from The Humane Alliance, of New York, and sa3rs: "Three thou sand demons turned loose upon a helnless prisioner. They cut off his ! ears and fingers and plucked out his eye balls and plunged knives into his j body. His liver and heart were cut J into small pieces and sold to the ! highest bidder. Not long before the j mob took nine negro prisoners from i the guard and shot them all to death save one. lnat one was &am nose, who escaped. Cranford was one of the mob, and Sam Hose was on!y avenging the death of his friends when he killed Cranford. After burning Sam Hose the mob found an ! old honored negro preacher named Strickland and lynched him." Then ' comes the usual auathema, and the ariticle winds up with the assertion j that a race conflict is inevitable. I And now comes The Atlantic Age and Wesley Pledger, the mulatto editor, says, in answer to J. Pope Brown, "the negro is ready to go. There is not one negro in ten that will not gladly welcome an oppor tunity to go. The negro longs to get away from Pope Brown and his ilk. He wants the angry Saxon race to buy a piece of ground from China or any where that will enable him to leave Pope Brown and others who have robbed him for years. We are anxious to go we are ready. This crowd brought our mothers here and debauched them and out raged them till we find 0,000,000 of mulattoes, kinsmen of this man Brown and his friends. Let us go as went the children of Israel from Egypt, and harden not your heart whan we get ready to leave." Then he copies Joseph Henderson's reply to Governor Northern, which contains more lies to the square inch than anything I have yet seen. Hen derson belongs to the Thomas For tune-Ida Wells gang, who are making big money out of yankee hate and cre dulity. He made his speech in Boston and said he was a Georgian and his mother obeyed the slave master's whip and felt the bloodhound's bite. What a liar, but he has made those yankees believe it. In all my ex perience I never knew a negro wo man to run away, nor did I ever hear of a bloodhouud biting man or woman. Sometimes bad negro men ran away and were properly punished when they came back, or were taken up and brought back. I never heard of a half a dozen runaways in our coun try. As a' rule all negroes were humanely treated. Every master knew that it impaired their value to to treat them otherwise. Percy Gregg declares, in his history that the southern slaves were the best treated servants the world ever saw. The young and the old were cared for kindly and affectionately by mas ter and mistress, and their condition was infinitely better than the poor of England or Germay or of the northern United States. Pledger gives Henderson's speech in large headlines and calls it "Plain Words." The article is malignant, medacious and incendiary, and this man Pledger could not run his paper in Wilmington nor in any country town in Georgia. It is a weekly menace to the peace between the races. He advises the negroes to patronize negroes in all avocations. What a fool. Suppose the merchants of Cartersville should conclude to patronize white draymen and white carpenters and blacksmiths only, what would become of the negroes who now so faithfully serve us? What would become of Joe Brown and Tribble, our expert carriage makers whose deportment as citizens commands our respect and confi dence? I tell 3ou, my brethern, there are many good industrious negroes in the land, and we would have no trouble if it were not fomented by such politicians as Pledger. I know lots of negroes that I can get along with, and so does every white man. But such as Pledger are not going away unless he sees big money in a contract. He wants to be hired to drum recruits. Six millions of mu lattoes! Good gracious! And he is one them, and no doubt is proud of it. I never saw a mulatto who wasent. They wouldent have been black ne groes if they could, and they wouldent swap colors now. They are the40O the elite, the upper ten. But enough of this. Tip has beeu to us the faithful Tip and he was happ. Tip bought some land near Rome from a Michigander. The price was $1,000, which Tip paid, and after the Michigander had left for parts unknown Tip found a mortgage on it for $500 more, and will have it to pay. Nobody but a dirty yankee dog would have swind led Tip that way. Tip brought his "mistis" as he calls my wife, a bottle of wine made from his own grapes, but I reckon you had better not mention this, for it might be con strued as against the new town li quor law, and subject my wife to a fine of $.")0, and me to break rocks for thirty days. That would be bad and sad, wouldent it? Emerson is now our liquor depot. It is four miles away, but the road is good, and they .say the travel over it is increasing.

It seems that Mr. McKinley is going into the business of Senator making, notwithstanding the ill-fortune of other Presidents who have engaged therein. Assistant Secre tary of War Meiklejohn is the ad ministration candidate for Senator Thurston's seat, he having stated his intention to retire March 3rd, 1901, when his term will expire. Of all branches of this administration the War Department is the worst from which a candidate for anything could be taken, and the democrats of Nebraska, who already had excellent chances for electing a maioritv of the next legislature, and Thurston's successor, ought to, and doubtless will, thank Mr. McKinley for making their task easier by backing the As sistant Secretary of War as the administration candidate for the Senate. The latest gossip in Washington has it that the Alger-Piugree mix-up is the persona! work of Mr. McKin ley, and that the entire influence of the administration is to be used to help Alger defeat Senator McMillan, provided, of course, that the repub licans can elect a majority of the next Michigan legislature a very important proviso, by the way. In view of what Alger has done to dis credit the administration, this seems to be an astonishing sort of a deal, but those who have closely followed the various Hanna-McKinley politi cal deals from the spring of ' to the present time find it diflicult to be astonished at anything. Accord ing to this story, which may or may not be true, Alger has succeeded in convincing Mr. McKinlev that all of the attacks on Algerism have been in reality attacks on the entire ad ministration, and that unless Alger can -be vindicated by an election to the Senate all these charges will be placed against the McKinley admin istration by history. It is plain that the support of Alger by the McKin- leT administration will be an act of treachery to Senators McMillan and I Burrows, both of whom have been steadfast administration men, but treachery to friends has long been a Hanna specialty, and administration Senators will not be as badly needed during the remainder of Mr. McKin ley 's term as they were when the republicans were short of a majority in the Senate. Democrats are citing the ease with which cx-Governor Hogg, of Texas, converted the Tammany Fourth of July meeting, which it had been generally understood was to ignore Col. Bryan, if not directly antago nize him, into a wildly enthusiastic Bryan gathering as an evidence of the wonderful hold that Col. Bryan has upon the rank and file of the democratic party the men who cast the votes, but do not attempt to en gage in candidate-makiug. That meeting may prove a valuable object lesson to those who now imagine the possibility of preventing the Nation al Convention registering the will of the democratic party at large. A New Mexican who attended the recent Rough Riders reunion in that Territory has let a brand new Roose velt cat out of the bag. He says that Gov. "Teddy" told his old com rades that a brigade of Rough Riders would be enlisted for the Philippines at once, and that he could command it, if he decided it advisable to re sign the governorship of New York to take it. Nobody in Washington had heard a word of all this until the arrival of the gentleman from New Mexico. It may be merely a product of the "silly season," or it may be true, but if Gov. Roosevelt is willing to resign his present ex alted position to go to the Philip pines, he will surprise those who give him credit for knowing how to hold on to a good thing when he has it. There is a hitch somewhere in the programme arranged for the giving out of concessions for various sorts of franchises in Porto Rico, and it was this week semi-ofticially an nounced that the War Department would probably not grant any con cessions on the island in advance of Congressional action. This announce ment would have aroused more pub lic interest if it had not been known that Mr. McKinley was almost, if not quite persuaded of his right to promulgate a code of laws for Porto Rico in advance of Congressional action. In fact, it is understood that the Insular Commission, which ended its official life with the close of the last fiscal year, has been re habilitated by Mr. McKinley for the express purpose of preparing a code of laws for Porto Rico. If the ad ministration assumes the right to make laws for Porto Rico, it will hardly leave the granting of conces sions to Congress, especially when men to who it is under political obli gations are after those concessions. It has been officially announced that all of the new volunteer officers above the rank of captain are to be taken from the regular army; that one captain and one first lieutenant are to be appointed from the volun teers from each State, and all the! second lieutenants from the volun- i teers at large.

Maxton is to have graded schools, according to a majority of the regis tered votes cast Monday. Tyler Buchanan, of Jackson coun ty, was shot dead by Reuben and Robert Frady, brothers. A woman was the cause of the homicide. Mrs. B. I. Sheets, of Randolph, was burned to death by a lamp ex ploding in her hand while going into the smoke-house Tuesday night. Lee Brown, an IS-year-old colored boy of Maxton, was drowned Tuesdaj' morning while bathing in McRae's mill-pond, about a mile from town. Nineteen bales of cotton were burned at Elon College depot Satur day. At one time it was feared that the depot would burn, but it was saved. The Sun says the mayor of Lex ington was in the mayor's court in Salisbury one day last week, for being drunk and disorderly, and was fined $3.33. Mrs. Darius Gunter, aged C0, of Asheville, while walking on a trestle on the Murphy branch, Friday after noon, was struck by a passenger train and fatally injured. T. E. Wright, of Newton, com mitted suicide at Charlotte, Friday afternoon, by shooting himself in the head. He was despondent on ac count of money troubles. There have been about eight incen diary fires at Wilson in the past four months. The insurance commissioner is making an investigation, as he is required to do under the new law. Four barber shops in Salisbury, which have white barbers, have formed a combine to raise the price of shaves from 10 to 13 cents and the price of hair cuts from 13 to 23 cents. The tobacco warehouse trust re cently formed, which has taken in all the leaf warehouses in Danville, is reaching out after the warehouses at Kinston, Greenville and other points in eastern North Carolina. Frank Price, a white carpenter of Selma, became intoxicated Wednes day night and went to sleep on the railroad track near town with his right arm thrown over the rail when a passenger train came along and cut it off. J. L. Anders, postmaster at Pecan, Bladen county, says the Wilmington Star, is out on bond, having been ar rested for a violation of the postal laws selling stamps 'for less than face value and also paying debts with them. The trustees of the Agricultural and Mechanical College met at Ral eigh, Wednesday', and elected Dr. George T. Winston, president, at a salary of $2,300 per annum. Dr. Winston was formerly president of the State Uuiversit3 All the barrooms in Greensboro closed Friday night and the dispen sary opened for business Saturday. The bar men sold their stock cheap in the last hours of their existence and large numbers of citizens laid in an extra supply of sowpaw. George Hodgin, one of Winston's prominent young men, went out to the park Saturda3r afternoon to par ticipate in a race. His horse became frightened and ran away. Mr. Hod gin was thrown out of his cart, one foot caught in a wheel and he was dragged across a field. It is feared his injuries will prove fatal. Quite a serious cutting affray took place at Elkin Sunday evening. A white man named Giles became in volved with a drunken negro named Bob Parks and in the ditliculty the white man stabbed the negro in the bowels. Giles surrendered and was held to court in a bond of $200. Be ing unable to give bond he was com inittod to jail.
