To-day all your duties
With patience fulfill.
'J'o-dav love the mimilnosu
That's better than pold.
And the truth seek, whose value

Waves grow as they tlow.

Of duty and life.

The arena of strife.

There is no to-morrow;

The Waste or Tublic Money.
In an article on "The Waste of
Public Money," published in the
Saturday Evening Post, of Philadel
phia, former President G rover Cleve
land sounds a warning to the people
against the dangers that lie in reck
less extravagance in public expendi
tures. AmoDg other things he says:
"If the aggregate mass of our peo
ple are at all blameworthy on ac
count of the present advanced stage
of public prodigality it is largely be
cause they overlooked and tolerated
its small beiinnintrs, when atall times
they should have been vigilant and
uncompromising. A self-ruling peo
ple, responsible for every miscarri
age of their government, should
above all things constantly remem
ber that nothing multiplies itself
more abundantly than national ex
travagance, and that neither an indi
vidual nor a popular government
can easily correct or check habits of
waste.
"While easygoing indifference and
toleration produce bitter fruit, an
infinitely more dangerous and threat-
ing conditiou is presented by the
fact that many of our citizens have
passed beyond the stage of mere in
difference and, by accepting the
bribes of selfish and personal advant
age which public waste and extrava
gance offer, have been stimulated to
find excuses for their existence. Thus
is disclosed the manner in which fa
miliarity with these pernicious agen
cies, and especially participation in
their spoils, dulls the popular con
science and distorts the people's con
ception of good citizenship.
"Those elected by the people to
public places are apt to subject
themselves to any contagion among
the people even to the surrender of
individual conviction and the aban
donment of individual conception of
sworn duty. No elected officeholder
cares to invite political martyrdom
by refusing to obey the behests of
the influential constituents, and con
scientious scruples are overruled by
the plea that a public servant must
be obedient to the will of those he
represents.
"Another astounding occasion of
public waste and extravagance has
grown out of the abuse of our na
tiou's tender regard for those who
suffered in its defense. Through the
efforts of unprincipled pension agents
and attorneys a lavish administra
tion of extremely liberal general pen
sion laws has resulted in numerous
undeserved allowances, and these
have been largely increased by thou
sands of pensions granted by special
laws to those who have failed for
want of merit under general statu
tes. These beueficiaries have thus
learned that earnest support of a
party leader, or a pledge of partisan
return for especial Congressional
favor may be relied on as promising
substitutes for pensionable disa
bility. "The lessons of extravagance and
paternalism must be unlearned; econ
omy and frugality must be reinstated;
and the people must exact from their
representatives a watchful care for
the general welfare and a stern re
sistance to the demands of selfish in
terests if our government is to be an
enduring and beneficient protection
to a patriotic and virtuous people."
A Business Directory.
There is no danger that a business
announcement will fail to attract at
tention because it appears in a news
paper which contains a great deal of
advertising. On the contrary, peo
ple look for information to the news
paper which is used by many busi
ness men. The value of every ad
vertisement in The Headlight is
greater because of the number of
advertisers. The Headlight's ad
vertising columns are regarded by
the people as a business directory.

, LABOR'S LOXU WAR.
Arp Wants to Know When the Conflict
Will Come to an End.
L-abor and Capital. When will
the long protracted struggle cease
Away back in history there was a
war that lasted thirty years, but
this war has lasted longer than that
and seems to grow more bitter as
the years roll on. In the good old
times it did not affect the south, but
like a pestilence it spreads and there
seems to be no remedy. All of the
women most all of the men, outside
of the capitalists have heretofore
sympathized with the toilers in their
demands for less work and better
pay.- They have bitterly denounced
the heartless managers who would
wear out the life of a child before it
gets grown who would keep them
caged in factories from early morn
till lamplight, with not an hour for
recreation. No May day, no play
day, no ball game, nor marbles, nor
fishing, nor frolic of any kind for the
boys; no hunting wild flowers or
blackberries for the girls, no youth
ful pleasures, no recess, no Satur
day; but from year to year it's
' Work work work, in the dull De
cember light,
And work work work, when the wea
ther is warm and bright."
How sad it is to see them toil as if
in a treadmill, and to hear them sigh
as they glance from the windows of
their daily prison, and with longing
eyes, whisper,
'Oh! but to breathe the breath of the
woods and llowers sweet.
With the sky above my head and the
grass beneath my feet."
And this is sad, pathetic, and but
for heartless legislation and legisla
tors, would have long siuce been
remedied. It is the good side of hu
man nature that arouses sympathy
for the poor, and Leigh Hunt never
wrote a sweeter line than that of
Abou Ben Adhem's plea for entrance
into Paradise :
"Write me as one who loves his fellow
man."
In ruminating about the wants of
the poor I have often thought that
the greatest want and the best boon
to a toiler was a home. Home one
of the sweetest words in any lan
guage. Its best definition is in the
heart, for language fails to express
it. Indeed there are some languages
that have no word for it no syno
nym. The French has none and
substitutes only an abode ordwelling
place. The best definition is found
in the old Sanskrit, the sacred
dialect of the Hindoos and Persians.
The word is Kshema, and means a
permanent place of rest and se
curity. Would that all the poor, all
the toilers, all the women and chil
dren in the land had that a perma
nent abode a place of rest and se
curity. No landlord to call for rents
no expiring lease, no uncertain ti
tle; but a home where the good wife
can plant her own vines and adorn
her own yard with flowers and feel
thrvt they are hers and her children's.
Why didn't Mr. Carnegie think of
this and give homes to the poor, in
stead of books. Fifty millions of
dollars would have given comforta
ble homes to one hundred thousand
poor families and given a perma
nent place of rest and security to at
least half a million of the toilers.
The time was when a Methodist
preacher was not entitled to a home
no more than a Roman Catholic
priest was to a wife. He must abide
for a year iu any house that was
cheap and vacant. He must be the
exemplar of humanity and unselfish
ness, for they said that the Savior
was born in a manger and his softest
bed was hay. But there is some
more scripture that demands the
best of everything for the priest
hood, and that says : "Touch not
My anointed, and do prophets no
harm."
A better civilization now provides
a good comfortable parsonage in al
most every town and village and I
am glad of it, .not so much for sym
pathy for the preacher, but for
his good, long suffering and patient
wife and her growing children. Wo
man loves her home and loves to
adorn it with fruits and flowers.
When the Methodists get strong
enough to build a parsonage they
should not stop at the finishing of
the house, but have a permanent
committee of ladies to plant vines
and roses and make gravel walks,
and establish a garden with such
things that do not pass away and
perish with the year. Plant fruit
trees, make an asparagus bed and
don't forget the strawberries and
raspberries, and here and there
plant some of the old time garden
herbs, such as sage and balm and
parsley and calamus for a sweet
breath and mint for the children's
colic. Fix the place up for a home
and when the good wife leaves it, of
course, she will leave it clean and
leave it with regret, and her succes
sor will be happy and talk about her
to the neighbors. If I was a bishop
I would allude to this at the general
conference, and lay much stress on
what John Wesley said, that "Clean
liness was next to Godliness." That
is not in the Bible, but might have
been and done no barm.
Yes, the kindhearted people have
generally been sympathizing with
the strikers, but the case at Dayton,
O., has discouraged them. We see
that Mr. Patterson died suddenly
this week. He was only sixty-nine
years old and the opinion is that his
grief and mortification over the great
strike caused his death. A nobler
rich man never lived or died. He
was the president of the National
Cash Register Company, that em
ployed 2,300 men and women. For
seven years he has sought to make
his extensive works a model for all
the manufacturers of the world
and a workman's paradise. From
time to time he has reduced the
hours of work and increased the com
pensation. The cottages for his peo
ple were models for comfort good
gardens, nice flowers a skilled man
sent free to show them how to plant
and grow flowers, a free library of
well selected books, hospitals for the
sick, good nurses, good beds, all free
and no lost time charged against
them; bath rooms with hot and cold
water and time given to bathe; clean
towels and soap. For. the women
and girls he had toilet rooms and
bathrooms and brushes and combs
and even curling tongs provided; so
fas and cots to recliue on and books
to read. Everything was made as
much like home as a loving mother
would have provided. Half of every
Saturday was theirs. Mr. Patterson
was happy. He believed he had
solved the problem of capital and la
bor. But about Jhree years ago a labor
union was formed and its committee
began to hunt devilment. Not long
ago they discovered that the 2,000
towels that were furnished the bath
rooms free were washed every week
by some poor woman w ho did not be
long to the union and they demanded
of Mr. Patterson that he have his
washing done by union folks. He
refused and the committee ordered a
strike. Then he declared that his
men were not charged for the baths
nor the towels nor the soap, and he
would stop the whole business, which
he did. Next they ordered the dis
charge of his superintendent because
he was not a union man. This was
refused and they struck again. They
also ordered that two union men who
had been discharged for bad work
should be restored. He restored
them and paid them regularly $15 a
week for each, but gave them no
work, saying that they were not
competent, but he would pay them.
And so they hunted around for other
things and finally ordered a big
strike, and it has been on for weeks
and no settlement. Up to date the
loss to workmen in watres amounts
to J 120, 000 and aU these poor fami
lies are in distress and would ro back
if the union committee would let
them. It was at Dayton where a few
months ago the union crowd pursued
some non-union men and knocked
them down and hammered their fin
gers to a jelly with stones, so that
they could not work any more. Mr.
Patterson's work have been visited
by progressive men from all coun
tries, who wanted to see how he
managed that great business without
any clash between his capital and
their labor, and now they sa, "I
told you so. 1 knew it would not
last!''
It made me right sick to read about
it, for it is much worse than I have
told it. Is our sympathy for the poor
all wasted? No no! It is those
contemptible leaders who got on the
committee and wanted to make a big
fuss out of nothing. With the great
combination trusts on one side and
the union strikers on the other side,
we, the unproductive middle class,
who make our living by our wits, are
in a bad fix. But thank the good
Lord we still have meat and bread
and strawberries at our house.

Special Correspondence.
New York, June 18, 1901
Increased activity in the retail
distribution of seasonable merchan
dise and a decided improvement in
crop conditions throughout the
country have been features of the
business situation during the past
week, In the industrial field labor
troubles have caused some slacken
ing of activity in a few departments,
but there has been no serious inter
ruption of work in important bran
ches. jThe possibility of extending la
bor strikes is, however, a cause of
uneasiness in some industries, l lie
improvement noted a week ago in
the textile trade has been main
tained, and the situation in this
branch of manufacturing is grad
ually shaping for complete recovery
from recent depression. The build
ing and allied trades are active. The
wheat harvest has begun in the
Southwest, and will become general
during the next fortnight. With
good weather until after the harvest
the wheat yield will probably exceed
all previous records, and the acre
age and condition returns with ref
erence to corn, cotton and other
crops foreshadow very satisfactory
results of the agricultural season in
all parts of the country. Business
failures during the past week, ac
cording to R. G. Dun and Company,
numbered 179 in the United States
and 23 in Canada, against 1J2 in this
country and 21 in Canada during the
corresponding week last year.
Cotton prices have declined and
recovered J of a cent per pound as a
result of speculation and variable
crop advices, but the crop situation
as a whole has improved, and there
is very little activity iu the trade.
Manchester advices have been more
encouraging, and there has been
fair buying for export; but domestic
spinners have continued to operate
conservatively for actual wants.
The cotton goods trade is still un
satisfactory, but it shows improve
ment as contrasted with recent con
ditions. The export demand has led
to advances of J to J of a cent per
yard in some makes of brown goods.
While home trade cottons have not
changed in price, there is a steadier
feeling all along the line, and the
announcement has been made that
the anticipated reductions in prices
of bleached goods will not take
place. Domestic buyers are show
ing more interest, although their op
erations are still generally in mode
rate sized lots. The wool trade is
very quiet. Manufacturers appear
to be in no urgent need of fresh sup
plies, and are awaiting a concentra
tion of larger stocks of new wool in
the seaboard markets. Interior prices
are firm, and in many cases above
the parity with ruling quotations in
the Eastern distributing centres.
The woolen goods trade shows fur
ther improvement, and prices of
some of the more staple lines, the
production of which is well sold
ahead, have been advanced 5 per
cent.; but the general range of val
ues is unchanged. The situation and
outlook, however, are more encour
aging to manufacturers than at any
previous time this season.
The Bankruptcy Law.
Washington, June 17. The semi
annual reports of the operation of
the Bankruptcy law for the period
ended March 31, 1901, has been sub
mitted to the Attorney-General by
E. C. Brandenburg, in charge of
bankruptcy matters in the Depart
ment of Justice.
It shows that during the period
9,510 voluntary petitions were filed,
as against 8,000 for the preceding six
months, 12,120 for the six months
ended March 31, 1900; 10,124 for the
six motuns enciea oepiemoer ou,
1899, and 9,052 for the six months
ended March 31, 1S99.
The report shows that a large per
centage of those taking advantage
of the voluntary feature of the law
are old insolvents seeking this means
of resusciating themselves in the
business world.
Her Hat Ablaze in Church.
New York, June 17. While the
Rev. Francis Xavier Pauletige of the
Church of the Annunciation in Wil

diction at the close of yesterday's
vesper service a young woman sit
ting in a front pew leaned too far
forward and her hat caught fire from
a candle. Somebody shouted Are.
There were a thousand persons, most
of them young women, in the church,
and there was a wild scramble for
the doors. The pastor kept on with
bis benediction while his assistant,
the Rev. Father Hahn, seized the
burning hat from the girl's head and
threw it on the floor before any barm
was done. Two missionary priests
walked down the aisles and soon re

On Tuesday, Mr. M. A. Proflitt,
lineman for the Western Union Tel
egraph Company, noticed his little
child picking continuously at its
nose. He looked in the little one's
nose but could see nothing and
decided to take it to his family phy
sician. The doctor made an exami
nation, with the result that he re
moved a screw an inch long. It
had been in the child's nose so long

The gold miners who have been
operating a hydraulic plant in the
Catawba river have made the discov
cry that the black sand in the bed of
the river is rich with gold. An assay
of a quantity of this sand recently
made shows a yield of $320 per ton.
This is an extraordinary rich yield,
and if all the sand in the company's
workings hold up to it the result will
be a veritable bonanza. Old gold
miners have always claimed that
there is eold in the sand of the
streams in the Charlotte section, and
back in the fifties the sand was work
ed with good results by the primitive
system of panning.
Supreme Court Rules Amended.
The rules of the State Supreme
Court have been amended by strik
ing out the word "twelfth" wher
ever it occurs and inserting the word
"sixteenth," and also providing that
the fall term shall begin the fourth
Mondav in Ausrust. (adding four
weeks to the term) so as to conform
to the new act increasing the num
ber of superior court districts. Rules
5 and C are so amended as to require
that transcripts on appeals shall be
docketed seven days before the call
of the district to which they belong
otherwise the appellant will be sub
iect to a motion to dismiss. Rule
12 is amended by requiring a copy
of the brief when printed to be de
livered to the opposite counsel at
least twenty-four hours before the
case is called for argument, and co
pies of transcrips must be sent each
member of the court at least twenty
four hours before the case is called
for argument.
The Supreme Court decides in a
6 team boat case from Beaufort that
this state can tax a prorata part of
the capital stock of all companies
doing business in several states in
cluding this state, not restricted to
the tangible property here but meas
ured by the proportion of the busi
ness done in North Carolina.
A!
A Suinnu
How In Avoid Malaria.
The State Agricultural Depart
ment gives out the following : A
careful and observing citizen of the
state says: "It is settled by the
medical faculty that malaria is com
municated by mosquito bites. It is
reasonably well settled by expe
rience that if the castor oil bean is
planted near a house or its leaves
placed in a room that mosquitoes
will disappear. It will be a cheap
and probably a pleasant experiment
if those living in malarial .sections
will plant a few castor beans. They
can be had of any seed house and
are besides a great improver of the
soil. The agricultural department
will be glad to hear reports or re
sults of such experiments.
Scrofula
Few are entirely free from it.
It may develop so slowly as to canse
little if any disturbance during the whole
period of childhood.
It may then produce irrcirularitv of th
Stomach and bowels, dyspepsia, catarrh.
and marked tendency to consumption
before manifestina itself in much cutaneous
eruption or glandular sti-cllins.
It is best to be sure that you are quite
free from it, and fur its complete eradica
tion you can rely on
