Don't blame the world because the thorns am iouiki among the roses ; 1 he day that breaks in storm may be all Sllnsllino ivhnn !t We cannot hope to always meet with fortune's fond caressing, And that which seems most hard to bear may onng with it a blessing. That buried seed must rot in earth ere it Drodlice thn llmt er And the weak plant to fructify must have both sun and shower ; So man, to gain development, must .-u iiKUie wiui lite s crosses. And view with calm philosophy his trials and his losses. A deadly, pois'nous weed may yield a salve of surest healing ; The sweetest blossom may pois'nous be, rtiuiougn its nane concealing. Things are not always what they seem, but still 'twas heaven designed them. And we should class them all as good ami iukb mem as we una them. Little we know of this brief life and nothinff of it snnnol Then let us take iu humble trust all that may seem unequal. God's ways are not our wavs, and He should certainly be trusted ; And that is wrong in His good time will surely be adjusted. Economical Habits. That which is a luxury to one man is a necessity to another, not because the men are differently constituted, but because of the habits they have formed. Relatively rich people suf fer from hard times almost as much as the poor ; they may not suffer from cold or hunger, but from the loss of things to which they have been ac customed. A man who has lived at the rate of ten thousand a year feels poor when reduced to two thousand, though the latter income would ap pear almost fabulous to the working man who contentedly provides for a large family on less than half the amount. This difference is largely a matter of habit, and it is conducive to happiness to maintain a habit of life well within one's income, so that adversity may not require a radical change. The poor and people of even moderate means are compelled to be economical if thev would avoid fall ing iu debt ; it is those who have good incomes who need to be admonished to practice economy. They need not be penurious or deny themselves any rational enjoyments, but they should establish such an economical habit as would enable them to retrench without discomfort if loss of income should require it. The influence of such an example upon the children of a family is use ful, for children ought to be trained to habits of thrift. The child who is given money for the asking and al lowed to speud it freely may be ruined by the indulgence. He quickly form habits bad in themselves, from which he cannot easily divorce him self when he is thrown upon his own resources. No matter what his ex pectations may be, he should be taught to live well within his income and to spend his money with good judgment. Where this parental duty is neglected the spoiled child may be rendered unhappy in his adult life or be driven into a criminal career. Very many of the crimes against property are committed by young men who are not in actual want. They have enough to eat and homes to shelter them, but they have wants of another kind which cannot be sat isfied by the fruits of honest labor. They are the victims of habits fos tered by over-indulgence and by a failure to instil in their minds habits of economy. Objection is sometimes made to any suggestion of economy because it is confounded with penuriousness. This is not a well-founded objection. It is curious to observe that it is the economical only who have -any sur plus with which to help others ; the men who are known as ;generous, open-handed fellows are generally self-indulgent and have nothing left for charity. There are economical persons who are also penurious, but there is no necessary connection be tween the two habits. The true economical man is, in the first place, honest. He does not spend more than be gets, nor enter into obliga tions he cannot fulfill. . In this re spect he is a better man than the generous fellow who entertains his friends while cheating his creditors. The economical man keeps an eye upou the future and through his sav ings provides for his old age, and in this respect also be is better than the liberal man who, having squan dered his income, becomes a burden upon his friends or upon the commu nity. Moreover, the economical man keeps his tastes and passions under control, so that he forms no expen sive habits, the abandonment of which in case of a failure of income would render him unhappy. The measure of economy which the indi vidual should practice varies with income and the demand upon it, but it should always be such as to enable him to live honestly. Lots of people who think they are entertaining angels in disguise are sadder but wiser when masks are off. For sprains, swellings and lameness there is nothing so good as Chamber lain's Tain Halm. Try it. When you vou cannot sleep for coughing, it is hard ly necessary that any one should tell you that you need a few doses of ChamlKr l ii'n's Cough Remedy to allay the irrita tion of the throat, and make sleep pos sible. It is good. T.yit. r or sa el.y M. K. Robinson & Bros , J. K Shllw n Drug Store, (Joldsboro; J. K. Smith, Mt. Olive. ARP OX WEATHER. Discusses Winds, Rains and Touches ou Politics Too. The elements are unsettled. The wind seems to be veering southward. Roosevelt keeps on saying kind words about us and the Republicans are in a state of apprehension. The G. A. R.'s made the first assault on him because he dared to exalt the bravery and patriotism of our people; but he answered tthem back nobly. And now they are in consternation be cause he invited Clark Howell to dine with him. The City of Shushan is perplexed. It looks like there is a power of good political fun ahead of us, and we can't be worsted. McKin ley wanted to be kind, and they wouldn't let him ; but my opinion is that Roosevelt is going to run the machine according to his emotions. He is a man of emotion good, gen erous emotions and our emotional nature is the best part of our nature. That is the reason that women are better than men ; they are more emotional. A selfish man, a greedy man or a politician "per se" have no emotion. They plot and scheme for personal advantage. Hamlet said that a politician is a man who would circumvent God. They bribe and deceive to gain their end. But Roose velt is outspoken, candid and fear less. The politician's utterances are cautious and comes from his head ; Roosevelt talks from his heart, and if he feels like inviting Clark Howell to dine with him he is going to do it without consulting Mark Hanna or the G. A. R.'s or for a moment con sidering what the party will say about it. I like Roosevelt because he has a wife and children ; in fact, he has been married twice and has two sets of children. That's all right if the children harmonize and the last wife is as good to the children of the first wife as she is to her own. Our near est neighbor for long years had three sets of children. Colonel Bayard, a widower, with two children, married Mrs. Hand, a widow, with three chil dren. Two more children were born to that last marriage, and all was peace and harmony in that household. This reminds me of another family where there were three sets, and they didn't harmonize, and one day when they were quarreling in the back yard the wife came running in and said to her husband : "John, you'd better go out yonder with a switch ; your children and my children are fighting our children." I am pleased to learn that our President is coining to Georgia next fall and visit his mother's old home at Roswell. Think I will meet him there and show him around, for al most everybody else is dead but me that was there when his mother was a girl. I will show him where we boys played bull-pen and town ball, and where his uncle half Dan or half of his Uncle Dan and I played sweep stakes and Dan always won my white alleys. Yes, I will show him around. But that colony of firfe Savannah people, all blooded stock, are not there now. There were the Kings and Dunwoodys, who were in college with me. Not all the King boys, of course, for there were nine of them, and only one sister for the whole crowd a beautiful girl. I have a very dear cousin in Birmingham who has nine girls and one son. What a pity that those two families were not neighbors and cotemporaries so that the children could have mated and intermarried. I like families with nu merous offspring. If I had the making of the Constitution, Federal or State, I wouldn't let a bachelor hold a public office ; he shouldn't be eligible to go to Congress or the Legislature. It is not possible for him to feel deep ly concerned about the perpetuity of government. It is the children and the grandchildren we fathers are liv ing for. An unmarried man lives for himself. He may besrrart and moral and well educated, but, as Kipling says, he can't understand the pater nal anxiety. All those Roswell boys were manly and well favored. They made good citizens. Poor Tom King had his leg shattered at Manassas, and as soon as he could walk was in the field again and was killed at Chickamauga. He was a bright, cheerful, handsome man and everybody loved him. Old Harrington King sent North for a teacher and got one by the name of Eels, but the boys didn't like him. They said he was a hypocrite and an abolitionists, and was just fooling papa. They called him Slickfish, and guyed him until he was sent back to where he came from. Colonel bayard married Barrington King's sister, the Widow Hand, and moved to Rome. He was a courtly gentleman, a de scendant of Chevalier Bayard, and his grandfather was Nicolas Bayard, a French Hugenot. He was a cousin to the Senators Bayard, of Delaware. He was an expert swordsman, and loved to show you the back stroke by which his ancestor, while flying from some troopers, slowed up his horse and as they came up on the gallop, cut their heads off one by one with this same back stroke. One of his grand-daughter, Miss Flonda has recently wedded a Mr. Tracy, of New York, a nephew of B. F. Tracy, who was Secretary of the Nuvy. One of Mrs. Bayard's daughters married Bishop Quintard, druggist, doctor, preacher, soldier, chaplain and then bishop. He got a beautiful and dutiful wife, and every thing else he asked for. Kind-hearted and lovable as a woman, he always carried a satchel full of cake and candy for other people's children when he traveled on the train. We college boys knew him well in Athens when he was first a drug clerk and next a doctor, and we let him pull our teeth just because he was so kind and genial. Well, now I have written all this about Roswell because our Presi dent's mother lived there and mar ried there. I like to speak of him as our President, and I don't want any Georgia paper. to call him Teddy or to make sport of bim in cartoons. Some idiots think these caricatures of our Presidents are very smart and funny, but people who have respect for the high office think they are shameful. You can't degrade the man without degrading the office. But we will have to wait some time on Mr. Roosevelt. You can't always sometimes generally tell, as Cobe would say ; we must wait and see how long this south wind blows "the sweet south wind that breathes upon a bank of violets," as Shake speare says. And we are the violets. We have both hope and confidence, for a man of emotions can't go back upon his ancestors nor the place of their nativity. The Bullochs have been honored in Georgia. More than one hundred years ago we named a county for Governor Bulloch, and we wouldn't mind naminy another for his great-great-grandson. Geor gia has never had a President, and we will be proud to have even half of one, especially the maternal half most all great and good men have bred after the dam. Bill Arp. Pekin's Wonderful Bell-Tower. In the northern part of the city of Pekin, about midway between the walls of the outer or Tarter city, and the inner or imperial city stand two peculiar-looking towers. Fash ioned on the same general plan, yet with differences enough to give each a distinct individuality, they are unique even in China, with all its wealth of fantastic and grotesque architecture. These two towers are the famous drum and bell towers. The' were built originally by one of the Monogol Emperors in the thir teenth century as clock towers, and they are probably the oldest town clock towers in the world. One of them contains an old clep sydra, or water clock, composed of four great "kangs," or earthern jars, placed on successive shelves be low each other, so that the water drops slowly from one into those be neath, the hours being told by the rising of a bronze scale mounted on a float in the lowest jar. Once every day the lowest jar would be emptied back into the top one and the clock thus wound up for the next day. The great barrel drum mounted in the drum tower was struck to announce the hours during the day, while the bell in the bell tower was tolled at sunrise and sunset as a signal for the opening and closing of the city gates. Emperor Yung-lo of the Ming dy nasty, who was the great bell found er of the wor'd. became dissatisfied with the bell placed in the tower by the earlier Mongol Emperor and in A. D. 142'J replaced it with one of the large ones of his own make. For centuries this bell rung out the curfew for the Chinese capital, but with the rise of the Buddhist re ligion its ringing grew to have a sa cred significance. The Chinese Em peror, as the "son of heaven," is me diator and high priest of his people in their worship of "Tienshang," or heaven above, for he alone is consid ered worthy to address "heaven." The bell was tolled to call the atten tion of gods to the fact that the Em peror was addressing his prayers to them. This bell, while one of the largest suspended bells in the world, is not the famous Great Bell of China. The Great Bell is in a temple of its own, a short distance outside of the city gate, and is especially dedicated to the rain god, being rung only in times of drought. It is one of the show places about Pekin, while the bell and drum towers are closely guarded and admittance to them is denied to all fore.gners. Reflections of a Bachelor.

Last Week In Trade Circles. Special Correspondence. New York, October 15, 1001. Business conditions during the past week have developed no impor tant change. Industrial activity shows no abatement, and the distri bution of merchandise of all kinds is very large. Complaint of a scarcity of cars for the transportation of many products and continued favorable re ports of railroad earnings bear testi mony to the big freight movement now in progress. Bank clearings also afford convincing evidence of a volume of general business larger than ever before at the correspond ing period. A favorable feature of the week has been an exportation of cotton, which had been previously rather back ward for the season. Price changes in staples have been gener ally slight, but mostly upward as a result of crop reports and expanding demand. Business failures during the past week, according to R. G. Dun & Co., numbered 231 in the States and 34 in Canada, against 223 in this country and 32 in Canada dur ing the corresponding week last year. Cotton prices have advanced one sixteenth of a cent per pound, owing to increased activity in demand from exporters, unfavorable crop reports and more active buying by domestic as well as by foreign spinners. The crop movement is increasing, but ex porters' enlarged requirements more than equal the receipts at the ports. The cotton goods trade developed no general activity. Demand reflects the current requirements of distri buters, but in sufficient to prevent accomulations of mill stocks, and prices are well maintained. The up- J ward tend of raw cotton prices has increased the reserve of sellers, and there is little pressure on their part i to book orders at ruling prices for j distant delivery periods. A good de mand is noted for cotton dress goods : for spring season. Wheat prices have advanced 1? i cents per bushel. This recovery ap- j pears to have been due chiefly to re-1 ports of increased feeding of wheat in the Southwest, a good interior milling demand and a well sustained inquiry for export. The movement of wheat from the Northwest has con tinued large, but primary market receipts of winter wheat are compar atively light. Although exports of wheat, including flour, continue on a liberal scale, the aggregate arrivals at centres are in excess of the imme-! diate requirements of the market, and visible stocks of wheat are accu mulating. The firmness of wheat pri ces under conditions of evident abun dance is significant of the confidence of traders that the short corn crop and the relatively high cost of the latter cereal are to be permanent factors in restraint of undue depres sion in the wneat markets dunnjr the present crop year. Bradstreet's report of the last week's exports brings the shipment of wheat and flour from American ports since July 1 to a total of 80,475,000 bushels, or 41,000,000 more than the exports for the corresponding period last year. Corn prices have risen I of a cent per bushel because the slight im provement in the crop situation in dicated by the October report of the Federal Department of Agriculture was a disappointment of expectations based on previous unofficial crop ad vices. The yield according to the lat est data, will be about 1,350,000,000 bushels. Export demand for corn is moderate, and actuual shipments are small. The scarcity of cars for grain transportation to the seaboard and the high cost of corn cripple the op eration of exporters. In the West the tendency is toward a decrease in the consumption of corn and a larger use of wheat and cheaper forage crops. Interior price of hogs have declined 35 cents per 100 pounds, and Chicago prices of products have re ceded 52 J cents per barrel on pork, 25 cents per 100 pounds on ribs and 50 cents per 100 pounds on lard. Ex ports of provisions have been fair, but for the week have fallen a little below those of the previous week this year and the corresponding week last year. Three persons were drowned at Murfreesboro, Ark., Monday, while crossing the Missouri River in a leaky boat. ALL OVER THE STATE. A Summary of Current Events for Ike Past Seven Dajs. The Randleman Hosiery Mills, in Randolph county, were burned Thurs day. Loss, $22,000. Four children of Randolph Kirby, colored, were burned to death near Clinton, Friday morning, while lock ed in temporarily by their mother. J. W. Noell, editor of the Roxboro Courier, has been appDintcd by the Corporation Commission as State Bank Examiner for the Eastern dis trict. J. R. Tingle, of Pitt county, died Monday evening of a yellow chill. About four weeks ago he lost a daugh ter, and about a week ago his son died of the same disease. Henry Marcus, of Morven, Anson county, went to see his son at Cam den, S. C, Sunday, and was shotand killed by his wife, from whom he had separated. The woman clains that she shot him in self-defense. Sam Harvey, a cigar-maker of Greensboro, jumped in front, of a train on the A. and Y. road near Glascock's foundry, Thursday, and was killed instantly. Both arms were cut off and his body was terribly mangled. A young man named Tysinger, who was at work in the Emmons mine, Davidson county, was crushed to death Monday by a large rock falling on bim.

The 1G months-old child of Ben. F. Williams, of Chatham county, was fatally burned Friday. It had been left in a room with it five-year-old brother, in which there was no fire, while its mother was picking cotton. While there the boy started a tire with a match and the little child's dress caught on fire and before it be extinguished had burned it so badly that it died next da'. The city of Newbern and the com pany owning the electric light plant there have recently been at logger heads, and as the result of the trou ble street lights were shut off and the city left in darkness. A few nights ago a hose-wagon belonging to the city fire department collided with a carriage, throwing a little girl out of the latter and seriously injur ing her. The accident is said to have been due to the streets being in dark ness, and now the city has a damage suit on its hands. Last Friday, while J. II. Pitman, colored, of Robeson county, was splitting rails, his four-year-old son was accidentally killed. Be had fell ed a large stick of timber and had severed one cut from it and was cut the second which was l'ing across a ditch, and his wife and child, who were sitting on the end of the slick of timber, and when it was cut in two it suddenly swung around throw ing the child underneath, crushing it so badly that death resulted in a few hours. The mother jumped the ditch and escaped injury. Light Biscuit Delicious Cake Dainty Pastries Fine Puddings Flaky Crusts - Four Surprised Sisters. Four sisters, ranging in age from CO to 74 ears, and living respective ly in Massachusetts, Florida, Ken tucky and Ohio, met the past week under unusual circumstances. Sim ultaneously from their far apart homes three of the sisters arrived to visit the fourth in Dayton, Ohio. Neither of them knew the others were coming. -Each lady had made up her mind so suddenly for the vis it that there had been no time for mail communication by any member of the families. There was no birth day occasion, no illness, no known cause whatever that might explain how the three ladies at the same time conceived the idea of visiting their Ohio sister. Having decided very hastily on coming, each lady started at once, and had in view the extra pleasure of giving the sister in Dayton a hap py surprise. There was an unexpect ed general surprise. Just as the Kentucky lady walked into her rela tive's home the Massachusetts sister arrived. Astonishment was at great height. Warm greetings were not yet over, bonnets bad not yet been removed, when in walked the sister from Florida. The four sisters are Mrs. Elizabeth B. Bradford, of Pensacola, Fla.; Mrs. Dr. Annie B. Campbell.of Boston, Mass. ; Mrs. Jennie Butterfield Smith, of Cynthia, Ky., and the oldest, Mrs. Willey, aged 74 years, of Dayton, Ohio.
