If, at the bcfj;innin; of his married life, a man cannot have enough con trol over himself to see that his wife does not get her own way in every thing, and that he does not make himself her abject slave, he will never be able to recover his liberty, and he is done for, condemned to subjection for the rest of his natural life. The beginning of wisdom is to keep your wife in order. No government has ever been knowu to successfully suppress or even reduce any liberty or privilege previously granted to the people. If a mau capitulates on the threshold of matrimony, he will never be able to recover one inch of the ground he has surrendered. In fact, a man has to be as careful to avoid spoiling a wife as he would a child, and that for her sake as well as for his own. To be happy, for instance, a wom an does not require the constant presence of her husband. On the contrary, she will enjoy his company very much more if he and she are not alwa-s thrown together. I know men who, from the begin ning of their married lives, visited their clubs, enjo3'ed men's company, while remaining very devoted to their wives and making them very happj'. But if a man waits ten years to de cide on belonging to a club, he will soon discover the terrible mistake he has made. His visits to that club will be treated like perfect acts of unfaith fulness, reproaches will begin, fol lowed by &ulking, and the famous sentence will be uttered, ''You love me no more." To be happy, matri monial life must be uniform. Every change must be discreet, gradual and for the better. You have to keep a fire alive for the length of your nat ural life; see that your cellar id well stocked aud the fuel used discrimi nate' and economically. Control your love and your ardor. If at the beginning you are too at tentive and do such things that you know you cannot do forever, look out. The slightest inattention will take the most gigantic proportions. Some men, good diplomatists, carri' this principle the length of ob jecting to being their wives' lovers, simply because they know they can not always be lovers, and that the day they cease to be lovers they will be considered perfect criminals. Therfore, my friend, control your self sufficiently to restrain your epanchements so cleverly that your wife may be led to believe that you love her more and more every day. Remember that you enter the holy state of matrimony with a certain capital of love. The whole happiness of your married life will depend on the way you use that capital. Live on the interest. If you touch the capital, you are sure to become bankrupt soouer or later. Married life is a comedy (some times, alas! a tragedy) in several acts. Like in a pla3', avoid putting in the first act of your married life all your strongest situations and all your smartest dialogue, for fear lest the interest should go on flagging steadily to the end. The clever dramatist is invariably satisfied with writing a quiet and so ber first act. No situations of any strength are required. He makes his audience thoroughly acquainted with his characters. Then the action begins, and the climax is never reached before the end of the last act but one. A gen ius sometimes gives it in the last act. Tho intelligent husband should bear this in mind and do the same. The first act of- matrimony should be a careful and sympathetic study of character, the laying down of a little plan of campaign, full of con siderate concessions and well con ceived resolutions. In matrimony it is not "all is well that ends well;" it is "all is well that begins well, and not too well." Max O Rkll. Cansht a Drendf ul Cold. Marion Kooke, manager for T. M.

U. Muitu, Mt. Olive. ARP OS CARNEGIE. Hill Applauds the Millionaire fur the Good He is Doing. "Scale it, Mr. Fricks, scale these profits down 5 per cent for the next fiscal year. The books show that we are getting too rich. Put down the price of steel rails and put up the price of labor. We are but trustees for our fellowmen and a million a year is enough for us." If Mr. Carnegie had said that ten years ago, he wouldn't be so per plexed now about giving away his money. He says it is a sin for a man to die rich, and as life is uncertain and death is sure, he seems to be in a hurry about getting rid of his mil lions. " The five millions he has set tled upon his aged and indigent la borers is a benefaction that every body commeDds. The twenty-five millions that he has given to the ci ties for public libraries is not espe cially commended by anybody ex cept those who received it. It is about on a par with Rockefeller's twenty-five millions to the great universities. Neither gift reaches the masses of the people nor alle viate the condition of the poor. George Peabody's and Peter Coop er's charities were much more sensi ble and effectual. George Mullers' life work, who without a dollar of capital to begin with, established or phanages in London until he had over 2,000 in charge when he died, and from year to year maintained aud educated them, was a much grander charity than giving millions to colleges and libraries. George Peabody's millions built blocks of good comfortable tenement houses for the laboring poor of London, houses that were furnished and equipped with every comfort and every safeguard for the health of the tenants. Besides that, he left a large fund for the promotion of edu cation in the south. There are many charities far more needed by the people than giving them a chance to read free books. The poor do not have time to read very much. A right hungry man can't hardly get religion, much less enjoy a story book. But still we commend Mr. Carnegie for his good intentions, and if he had given two or three thous and dollars to Cartersville, Ga., my home town, I would have said : "Mr. Carnegie, 3-ou are a big-hearted Scotchman, sir!" I hope they will elect him mayor of New York. The reason why the public praise Mr. Carnegie so is because the pub lic is surprised. Such munificence is so uncommon that it is unexpected. The gift is really no act of generos ity, for, as he says himself, it is a sin to keep it and die rich. He got all his millions from the labor of the people, and now he is trying to pour some of it back in the jug. That is right and honorable for the ore was God's and the labor was the toil of his men. He ought to pour it back and give some to the toilers whose sweat earned the money. This is pure morality aud common sense. Every man has a moral right, and it is his duty to make sufficient profit from his labor to maintain himself and his family in comfort, and even in luxury, and also to lay up some- th'.ng for his children and for old age and for the accidents of life; but be yond that the rights under a Chris tian civilization do not go. He then becomes a trustee for his foliowmen who are in need. Not that he should parcel out and distribute to each one his share, for it cannot be done, but he should make some investment that would insure the greatest good to the greatest number. Nevertheless, Mr. Carnegie is scat tering his money. He is sowing wheat among the tares. He is giving large ly to the wealthy cities who can pro vide their own libraries. He is scatter ing his money; I mean the surplus, that has grown to be a burden. He has just finished a million dollar mansion in New York and has an other in Scotland, and a few millions in reserve for contingencies. We hope that these small holdings will not interfere with his intention to die poor. No, there is no peculiar grace in the gifts of Carnegie or Rockefeller. They are a surprise, that's all, for not one in a hundred of the millionaires do such things. Most of them hold on and pile it up for their children to quarrel over. The Standard Oil Company has just declared a dividend of twenty million for Rockefeller. He crushed out and absorbed all competing mills aud still sells oil to the consumers at 15 cents per gallon. Cheap isn't it? But he could sell it at 10 cents and make a hundred per cent. It is the common people, the masses, the toil ers and the poor who buy the oil, and every gallon takes a nickel from them that ought not to be taken. God made the oil, and man gave the labor. Mr. Rockefeller had but little to do with it. Most of his millions really belong to God and the labor ers. It is no sufficient answer that he has endowed a college. The chil dren of the laborers are not in it. It's too far away and too high up. These colossal fortunes are be coming alarming. They endanger irood government, for it is still a fact l "that riches and virtue are rarely found combined." Laws grind the poor and rich men make the laws. A graduated income tax would limit these great fortunes, but alas, we will never get it. It is too late. The opportunity has passed, for rich men make the laws. Millionaires control the United States senate and will re sist any tax that limits or lessens their estates. But it is wrong for us to envy the rich. In the economy of life and the pursuit of happiness it seems necessary to have rich men. They build ships, railroads, canals, telegraphs and telephones, cotton and woolen mills, reapers, mowers, flour mills and a thousand other plants that furnish us with food and clothing"and add to the comfort of mankind. The world would make slow progress without them, but when they begin to unload their vast profits mankind will criticize the manner of it. Generally they unload it on their children, who never earn ed a dollar of it. Some of them would carry it all to heaven with them if they could. Many of them give a part of it to some church or charity as a passport to heaven. An oM friend of mine who was pretty hard up borrowed $3 from me one morning to pay one of these darn little just debts, as he called them. He said bis creditor was annoying him, but before he left my office a committee from the country called and asked us to help to build a coun try church. I gave them a dollar, but my friend subscribed $5 and handed over the bill that I had loan ed him. After they had left I asked him why he gave so much and he said: "Well, I always give that much to help build a church. I do not belong to any, for I have not yet felt good enough to join, but I have lived in five counties and practiced my profession in fourteen and I have helped to build country churches in all of them. It may be that death will catch me unawares before I do join the church and St. Peter will re fuse me admission into the heavenly gate. But I will have one credential, for I can say: 'St. Peter, I know I have not been a good man and am not fit to mingle with the saints, but I have got a little stock in every country church from Rabun's Gap to Tallapoosa and maybe he will let me in maybe so. Major, could you lend me another $5 without incon venience?" Of course I did, for he was one friend whom I never re fused. He did join the church and I believe he is in heaven now. Charity is the greatest and most blessed of all virtues. As the poet says: "It is twice blessed. It bless eth him that gives and him that doth receive." But when a man with $100,000 income gives away 1,000 of it to ease his conscience and secure a passport to heaven, he makes a mis take. It will do neither. A man's standing in the community is deter mined more by his charity than an3r thing else. How much does he give to the church and how much to the poor is discussed by his neighbors and he is rated accordingly. Not long ago I gave a problem to the young people. If a man sells a sow and pigs for $18 and gets as much for one-tenth of the sow as he did for nine-tenths of a pig how many pigs did she have? I have received scores of answers most of them making it nine pigs and some say ten pigs one smart girl makes it seventy-two pigs and one smarter man proves that the sow had 1,731 pigs. Strange to say every answer is cor rect. Nine pigs gives $1) for the sow and 1 each for the pigs; seventy-two pigs gives $2 for the sow and 11 2 9 cents for a pig and it would take the seventy-two pigs to make the $1S. Nine ceuts for the sow would give 1 cent for each pig, and therefore re quire 1,791 pigs to make up the $1S. It is a see-saw sum. As the price of the sow goes down the number of the pigs goes up and any number is cor rect. Now let me ask the school boys and girls to hold up a little on compositions and speeches. Please excuse me for I have not the time. It would take every hour in the day to comply with all their requests. Bill Arp. Reflections of a Bachelor.

In every love affair there is one woman that a man is trying to get and another that he is tr3-ing to get away from.

With allowance for the effect of a holiday, the vol ume of trade has been fully up to and in some lines in excess of that of the previous week. Improve ment has been noted in the demand for some products of wool, and grea ter activity without price recovery has been apparent in the market for the raw material. The cotton goods trade has continued in a depressed condition, but other industries have maintained previous activity. For eign trade is of fair volume. Mer chandise imports keep well up to last year's totals, but exports show a moderate decrease, which is due mainly to the falling off in raw cot ton shipments and to smaller exports of manufactured goods. The failure returns for the first quarter of the year, as reported by R. G. Dun & Co., show a decrease in liabilities, the total of w hich was $31,703,4SG as compared with $33,022,573 in the first i three months of 1900. The amount involved in the failures of the past quarter is the smallest re ported forany year in the past twen ty with the exceptions of 1899 and 1886. Cotton prices have recovered 1 of a cent during the week as a result of speculative buying on the theory of a reaction being due after a pro longed period of weakness in the market, but there has been no im provement in consumptive demand. Receipts have continued to exceed those of last year at the correspond ing period, and both domestic spin ners' takings and exports have shown a comparative decrease. The cotton goods trade has been quiet, and there has been considerable irregu larity and weakness in prices. The strength in the raw cotton market, however, has induced some reserve among sellers who are not burdened with excessive stocks; but in most cases the mill output exceeds re quirements and bu3-ers retain the advantage. The tendency is toward a further curtailment of production. The wool trade shows increased ac tivity, but there has been no im provement in prices. The corn market has been under manipulation by Chicago traders who have endeavored to break the control of ihe "bull" leader in that market. But a decline of 21 cents per bushel has been followed by a recovery of H cents, and the mar ket shows well sustained strength, which is supported by the high price of hogs and by a decreased crop movement and a firm holding senti ment in the interior. The export de mand for corn is comparatively mod erate, although the lower price of the grain and cheap freights have facilitated busines to some extent. Chicago prices of pork have eased off slightly, but other products have been advanced by active speculation. Compared with figures current a week ago prices of lard are 32 cents and of ribs 20 cents per 100 pounds higher, while country prices of hogs have risen 10 cents and are now 70 cents per 100 pounds higher than they were a year ago. Suicide of a Unique Philanthropist. Williamsburg, N. Y., April 8th. Conrad Anderson, who had a small candy and tobacco shop at 4G3 Hum boldt street, committed suicide yes. terday with carbolic acid. He was well known and about three years ago when his wife died he owned property valued at about $20,000. He often told friends he believed his greed for wealth had brought mis fortune upon him. One day he an nounced that he was going to have his property converted into cash and give it to the poor. He carried out his design and had the cash paid to him in gold. He placed the money in banks and be gan last fall to distribute it among the poor. He would select a corner in a well-traveled thoroughfare and after gathering a crowd would throw gold pieces among them. His money went rapidly and in November, when he had about $900 left, he arranged for a trip to Germany. He purchased a ticket on a Cucard Line steamer. The night before he was to sail he attracted a crowd at Grand and Roe bling streets. After addressing them on the dire consequences of accumu lating wealth, Anderson distributed $5 and $10 gold pieces. There was such a scramble to get the money that Anderson was roughly handled. A policeman arrested him on a charge of disorderly conduct and the next morning Magistrate Kramer Cued him $10. Anderson paid the fine and went to Germany. On his return he opened the store in which he ended his life. Killed Three Dauhterg And Herself. Berlin, Germany, April 8. The wife of Captain Yon Tungeln, of the Sixteenth regiment of dragoons, sta tioned at Lueneburg, and daughter of the well known historian and pu blicist, Henry G oat t hard von Treit scbeke, while in a fit of melancholy, killed her three little daughters and then poisoned herself. ALL OVER THE STATE. A Summary of Current Events fur the Past Seven Days. Maj. William H. Martin, the de faulting ex-clerk of the State treas ury, has been sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary. An old colored woman at Wilming ton, who claimed to have lived in three centuries, was burned to death Thursday afternoon. Seven prisoners, all colored, made their escape from theGastonia "lock up," Tuesday night, by digging a hole through the brick wall. A veritable case of winter wedding spring occurred at Henderson, Sun day, the contracting parties being J. S. Ellexson. aed 82. and Miss Lou M. Wilson, aged 16, both of Hal ifax county, Va. The trustees of the University of North Carolina met at Raleigh Thursday afternoon and created the chair of physiology to be filled next June, and also created an assistant professorship in pharmac3'. The Commissioner of Agriculture reports an increase of 30 per cent, in the sale of fertilizers this year as compared with last year. He says this indicates a largely increased cotton acreage throughout the State. Carlton Archbell shot and killed a negro named Samuel Lanier, in Beaufort county, Monday. They got into a dispute over some posts that Lanier had promised to cut for Arch bell. The shooting was in self de fense. Twelves representatives and five senators were present at the adjourn ed legislative session at Raleigh last week. About twenty bills and reso lutions passed, and on Thursday afternoon the members adjourned sine die. Will and Joe Ligons, two white boys, had a difficulty with Jasper Evans, a colored 003 at Germanton, Stokes count3', Saturday night, re suiting in Joe Ligons being cut to death by the negro, who made good his escape. Some unknown part3T broke into J. C. Field's store at Amelia, Alle ghany county, Saturday night, and blew own his safe, tearing it in pieces. The rogue only got about forty cents in cash, and only a small quantit3r of goods. Reuben D. East, a prominent far mer of Stokes county, was drowned in Covington's Creek, Tuesday even ing, while returning home in a bugg3r with his son from Walnut Cove. The creek was badly swollen, but the son and horse swam ashore. A death under rather peculiar cir cumstances is reported from Guilford county. The 3-oung son of Samuel May went out into the woods to fell trees and was struck on the chin by a limb. The blow caused an abrasion of the skin, resulting in blood poison ing, and a few days later the young man died in great agony. The indictments against the Dem ocratic registrars and judges in the United States District Court at Greensboro have been nol prossed and the defendants and witnesses notified that they need not appear. This, presumably, carries the quash ing of all other indictments of like character in the Federal courts. Governor Aycock, on Thursday ap pointed two of the new judges pro vided for in the act of increasing the number of Superior Court judges to sixteen. George A. Jones, of Frank lin, Macon count3', was appointed judge for the sixteenth district and Francis D. Winston, of Windsor, Bertie county appointed judge for the second district. Wednesda3 morning as one of the steamers was coming into Green ville and about to make fast to the wharf, the body of a white man floated up from the bottom of the river. The body was dragged out and Chief of Police J. T. Smith was notified. The officer went down to investigate and the body proved to be Frank Corbett, a white man about 40 years of age, of Falkland town ship, Pitt county. The coroner held an inquest but failed to disclose any evidence of foul play. W. D. Smith was shot dead by" Os car Bracy, at Rowland, Robeson county, Saturday night, The affair occurred in the private room of Smith's livery stable, where, accord ing to the testimony of the leading witnesses, both parties, being more or less intoxicated, had been quar reling previous to the shooting. Smith was shot five times, being in stantly killed, while Bracy received only a slight wound. Bracy claims to have acted in self-defense, and made no effort to escape. W. E. Branch, of Bellamy, Colum bus county, who has been employed on the skidder force of the Butters Lumber Co., was killed Monday af ternoon. Mr. Branch held the po sition of signer, which kept him near the large wire rope that is used to convey, by means of a pair of tongs, timbers out of the swamp to high land or to water where they can be floated. This rope broke and the tongs struck him on the head. He did not speak after receiving the blow and lived only about two hours. Friends In Need Are Friends Indeed. During the recent storm a frame bouse near Oak Ridge, N. C, owned and occupied by Oliver Nugent suc cumbed to the blast and was com pletely wrecked. His family escaped almost by miracle. On Tuesday his neighbors met and decided to help him rebuild it and some forty of them began to tear the old building to pieces and la' out the timbers, to clean the brick off the overthrown chimney and otherwise clear up the wreckage. By noon something like $100 was raised, by Mr. W. E. Ben- bow who acted as a leader, for the purpose of getting shingle nails, ad ditional siding, ceiling, etc. By Wed nesday eight the 50 or GO workmen had a neat three-room cottage up, weather-boarded and read3' for shin gles. Mr. Nugent doubtless spent Sunday under his own vine and fig tree. The storm which to him at first, no doubt, seemed a calamity, has brought him a blessing. He has found out that he has plenty of friends and they are ampl3' repaid and realize the truth "it is more blessed to give than to receive."
