Thinjrs That Cannot Fail.
When the anchors that faith has cast
Are dragging in the gale,
I am quietly holding fast
To things that cannot fail.
I know that right is right ;
That it is not good to lie ;
That love is better than spite,
And a neighbor than a spy.
I know that passion needs
The leash of sober mind ;
I know that generous deeds
Some sure reward will foul.
That the rulers must obey ;
That the givers shall increase ;
That duty lights the way
For the beautiful feet'of Peace.
In the darkest night of the year.
When the stars have all gone out,
That courage is better that fear,
That faith is truer than doubt.
And tierce though the fields may tight,
Aud long though the angels hide,
I know that Truth and Right
Have the universe on their side.
Washington Gladden.
Intolerance.
Although educated people some
times exhibit intolerance by refusing
to permit others to enjoy that free
dom of opinion they claim for them
selves, it is nevertheless a product of
ignorance. There are many kinds
of knowledge, but we have become
so accustomed to associating knowl
edge with book learning that we are
too apt to assume that those who
have read much are intelligent and
that those who have not read are ig
norant. This is not always, nor even
generally, true. There are many well
informed men who have little book
learning, but have acquired knowl
edge of men and things by observa
tioo and the application of their rea
soning faculties to their limited field
c' learning. There are others who
read much, but never think, and
they acquire little knowledge, even
though they may remember what
they have read.
Therefore, although the intolerant
man is necessarily ignorant, he need
not be uneducated. His intolerance,
however, shuts to him the gates of
learning. He usually starts with
misinformation and then perversely
refuses to listen to any explanation
or to have his wrong views corrected.
lie sets up his own beliefs or opin
ions as unquestionably correct, not
after fair examination of other be
liefs aud opinions, but in disregard
of them. He is grossly unjust, for,
while demanding for himself the ut
most freedom of opinion, he denies it
to all who do not agree with him.
The intolerance of opposing beliefs
or opinions, bad as that may be, is
not quite so inexcusable as intoler
ance ot matters oi lact, into wtnen
the man of strong prejudices may be
led.
A great many stories and plays
that are accounted good would not
exist but for the intolerance of fact
exhibited by the characters in a
manner which is admitted to be nat
ural. A word spoken at the right
time or an explanation given at a
critical moment would destroy the
plot, but the intolerant man or wo
man refuses to listeu or acts upon
misinformation, or upon hearing half
of a story, and so we have a novel or
a five-act play to straighten out the
situation. It is unfortunate that
these stories and plays, though some
times exaggerated, have in them a
germ of truth. Intolerant men and
women are responsible for a great
deal of human distress, besides the
novels and the plays. They refuse
to be informed or taught, and are
usually obstinate enough to compel
some other people to follow their
bad example.
In contrast with the intolerant
man is the philosopher seeking infor
mation from every source, pleased to
hear views contradicting his own be
cause of the light thrown upon a sub
ject by discussion, humbly acknowl
edging his fallibility and willing to
allow all others the freedom he asks
for himself. There are not many
such philosophers, nor need we as
pire to be of their number. But we
should all of us endeavor to control
whatever disposition we may have to
become so intolerant of others as to
deprive ourselves of the information
they may have to impart. Our be
liefs should be strongly held. The
man who, to avoid intolerance, em
braces any belief presented to him,
holding his own opinions tentatively,
awaiting further light, may be a phil
osopher, but lacks decision.
Holding our own beliefs strongly,
we need not be intolerant of others,
but may and should respect those
who hold other beliefs. We shall be
the better able to hold them when
we know how others look upon them
and what different views may oe
taken of the same subject. Intoler
ance is not founded upon but .helps
tn nernetuate ignorance. The intol-
t man is not infrequently found
r
oinnnnK a nnrtv name after the
party has deserted it, as it does
sometimes.

IS AWAY FROM HOME.
-urs. Arp Pays a Visit to a Danghter
and Bill Ruminates.
My wife went off to the country to
spend the day with one of our daugh
ters and her children. We expected
her to return that evening, but got
a message that she would spend the
night and the next day and maybe
longer. Thinks I to myself, she wants
me to send her word to come home,
and I won't. It has been a long time
since she run away. We missed her,
but made no sign. Her chair was
vacant. Her familiar voice was no
longer heard. The pantry keys hung
silent on the nail. Nobody called me
from the window to stop working in
garden and rest while the sun was
so hot. Xobody to say the flour is
out or the hominy or the lard or
something else, for something is al
ways out at our house. Little grand
children come to see us and don't
stay long "cos gamma ain't here.".
Everything look like a funeral. Lone
some isn't the word for it. There
isn't any word for the feeling when
the maternal ancester is not cruising
around; when we can't here the rustle
of her dress, nor the sound of her
voice, nor see her stitching away on
some infantile garment or reading
! over again the last letters from the
far away boys.
But the girls gave me' a hint and
said now was a good time to paint
the kitchen and surprise her, for she
has be talking about those old dirt',
dingy, smoky walls ever and anon
once or twice in awhile. So I opened
my big heart and little purse and
sent for the painter to come early in
the morning. He came and did a
nice job of it in a day. The kitchen
looks like a parlor. The cook woman
caught on to the surprise party and
scoured the tables and the tin ware
and went home and put on a clean,
new dress. My wife came home this
morning. We gave her a kind wel
come, but made no sign. She was
glad to get home and indulged in
more hilarity than usual. She cruis
ed around looking at familiar things
and places. Soon she wandered
toward the kitchen and we kept in
hailing distance and watched her.
Suddenly there was scream of delight
as she looked in at the open door.
"Well, I do declare. Did I ever."
That is all she said just then, for she
turned and came hastily to me and
kissed me. She took me by surprise,
for she quit kissing me years ago.
That kiss more than paid for the
paiut and the painting. These little
sweet surprises are the best part of
domestic life. They beat wealth and
high life and political honor and fame
and are the next thing to religion,
for they are founded in love.
All thoughts, all passions, all delights,
Whatever stirs this mortal frame.
All are but ministers of love
And feed its sacred flame."
These are the songs of birds in
the trees the flowers by the way
side that comfort in the journey of
life. Song birds and flowers ! There
is nothing in the wide world that
gives such emphasis to the love of
God for His creatures. We need
food and raiment and, of course, the
human family would perish without
them. But birds and flowers are
extra gifts to minister to our senses,
our emotions. How fortunate for
us that as we grow older we love
them better. When I was a very
busy man and had ambition to rise
in the world and advance my wife
aud children I cared little for birds
or flowers, but now they are my
especial pleasure. Now I understand
the meaning of that beautiful verse,
Consider the lilies how they grow.
They toil not, neither do they spin,
yet Solomon in all his glory was not
arrayed like one of these." He who
provideth food for the ravens and
takes notice of every sparrow that
falls to the ground will surely take
care of us if we trust Him. 1 be
lieve there is but two kinds of flowers
named in the Bible the rose of Shar
on and the lily of the valley and
these two stand pre eminent to-day
for beauty and fragrance. Of late I
ha-ve been watching the rosebuds as
they unfold their leaves and open
into beauty. How wonderfully they
are folded upon the little cone and
every, layers waiting for its time and
turn to come forth and breathe the
air and take on colors from God's
sunlight. No human fingers could
refold them and make a bud again.
The birth of a beautiful rose is a
miracle. It passeth comprehension
and excites our wonder only. Just
so is the feather of a bird. The mi
croscope shows the most wonderful
mechanism in its delicately woven
fabric its strength and gossamer
lightness. Then look carefully at
tbe frame work of the seed pods that
c nri from the dandelion. Hu-
man fiuers cannot approach them
in structure. They are exquisite and
must come from the hand of God
There is a limit to the perfection of
everything that is made by man, but
there is none to the works ot nature
The finest cambric needle looks like
a blunt-pointed file under the micro
scope, but the point of a bee's sting
is invisible. I wish that the young
folks would sometime stop and think
and study nature. It would refine
them in thought and feeling and ex
cite a reverence for their Creator.
GOLDSBOItO, N. C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER
How beautifully the great poets wrote
about flowers. One says, "The hum
blest flower that blooms sometimes
gives thought too deep for tears."
"And 'tis my faith that every flower
enjoys the air it breathes." Some
seem vain and some are modest.
From my window I see the rain-bow
cannas and the proud and lofty dah
lias strutting to the morning sun
and" not far away are the humble
violets half hiding from the light.
Tennyson says, "Any nose can rav
age the scent of a flower, but only
the pure in heart have a right to."
i am an eariy riser, ana every
bright morniug I visit the garden
and inspect the flowers that the night
has opened and cut enough for a
fresh vase at the breakfast table.
The neighbors' chickens annoy me,
for my garden is their feeding ground
and they scratch the barn-yard ma
nure from my plants. So on yester
day I got some chicken wire and
stretched it along the fence. But I
forgot to shut the gate and they came
in and when I got after them they
put their heads through the meshes
and got fast. I had fun with those
chickens aud they will not come back
any more. The gardens are fine this
fall. The second crop of beans and
potatoes are on hand. Turnip greens
and mustard abound. A few toma
toes are still left and my good neigh
bor, Yarbrough, the preacher, sends
us some of his fine ones every few
days. His Crimson Whrrl wind is the
finest variety I have ever seen. Verily
the lines have fallen to us in pleasant
places. Day unto day uttereth speech
and night unto night showeth knowl
edge. Miss Stone will be rescued, I
reckon, not because she is a mission
ary in a barbarous country, but be
cause she is an American woman.
The best opinion is she had no busi
ness going there. Our people have
got more sense and are not drumming
up women for missionaries to unciv
ilized countries.
It is strange what a passion some
people have for long-distance chari
ty. The statistics show 03,000 ar
rests in Boston the last fiscal year,
and yet Boston sends missionaries to
Turkey and preachers and teachers
for the negroes in the South. Geor
gia has only 330 white convicts in
her penitentiary, while Massachu
setts, with only a little larger popu
lation, has 1,(500, and New York
State, with but three times the pop
ulation of Georgia, has 3, MOO convicts
besides numerous reformatories with
several thousand inmates. The truth
is that every State and every large
city has enough of the lawless, the
gnorant and the destitute to care
for, and it is mistaken charity to
overlook them and hunt for misery
afar off. But we are getting along
fairly well in this blessed land and
have much to be thankful for that
our northern brethren have not. May
the good Lord bless and guide the
President is our prayer. The South
does not expect him to Tylerize his
party on the protective tariff or any
other Republican principle, but it
expects him to appoint the best men
to office regardless of their politics.
And if his party kicks and threatens
as the Whigs did John Tyler, let him
say as Tyler said to Clay and others,
"Gentlemen, you cannot scare me.
My back is against the wall and I
will veto those bills." Tyler was a
noble man and a conscientious states
man, but he was too pure a man to
please either party, and, of course,
was not nominated for the next Pres
idency. That may be Roosevelt.'s
fate. We shall see. Bill A up.

Finaurial aud Commercial.
Special Correspondence.
Nkw York, October 22, 1901.
Commercial and industrial affairs
fairs continue in favorable condition.
No slackening of activity is appar
ent in any branch of the manufac
turing trade, and the distributing
movement still taxes the facilities of
the transportation companies. Mer
chants and shippers in many lines
complain that their business is han
dicapped by the scarcity of cars,
which is in itself an evidence of the
great activity of general business
the growth of trade in various direc
tions having outstripped even the
increased car equipment of many of
the roads. Values, generally, show
well sustained firmness, and most of
the price changes of the week have
been in an upward direction. Busi
ness failures during the week, accord
ing to R. G. Dun & Co , numbered
229 in the United States and 31 in
Canada, against 209 in this country
and 29 in Canada during the corre
sponding week last year.
Cotton prices show a net gain of
1-1C of a cent as a result of specula
tive buying, influenced by fears of
damage by frost ; but there has been
no reliable evidence of injury to the
crop, and current figures are J of a
cent off from the highest of the week.
The crop movement is increasing,
and exports are larger and promise
further expausiou. Takings by do
mestic spinners so far during this
crop year have been moderate and a
little short of those for the corre-'
sponding period last year. The cot
ton goods trade has been moderately
active, and larger advance orders for
many lines could have been booked
f manufacturers had shown less re
serve about accepting them on the
recent price basis. The market
throughout is firm, and advance of J
to 1 of a cent a yard have been made
on leadinir makes of bleached goods.
Stocks of staple goods are com para-1
tively moderate, aud the production j
of many makes is well sold ahead, j
The wool trade has shown improve-!
neDt. j
Wheat prices have advanced 1 to ,
l cents per bushel, while quotations :
for corn have remained practicallv I
unchanged. The stability of valuts
of the latter cereal (although they are
21 cents per bushel hiher than they
were a year ago,) has been due to the
hort crop and moderate interior re
ceipts. Ihe tendency to widen the j
price difference in favor of wheat is j
natural in view of the hk'h cost of ;
corn and tne iaci mat wheat is
cheaper by 5 or 6 cents per bushel
than it was at the corresponding pe- j
riod last year. The immediately j
stimulating influences in the wheat ;
arket have been the small interior ,
movement of winter wheat, liberal j
exports and less favorable crop ad-:
vices from Argentina. Another im- i
portant factor has been the increased j
feeding of wheat to cattle iu many
parts of the West. Since July 1 ex-!
ports of wheat, including flour, ac
cording to Bradstreet's, have aggre
gated 93,104,237 bushels, against 55,
311,105 bushels for the correspond-
ng period last year.
There has been very little export
demand for corn at ruling prices,
and there has been no new feature
of interest in the market. Husking
is in progress iu the crop belt, and
the reports indicate the expected ir
regularity in yield and quality. There
has been a fair business in hog prod
ucts, and Chicago speculation bas
caused a slight general advance in
prices. Exports of provisions last
week exceeded those of the corre-
sponding period last year by about Later on it was thought that the mal
5,000,000 pounds. ady might be something else, but
The iron and steel trade is in good
condition, and in some departments
prices show increased strength. For
the remainder of the vear most of
the mills have their production under
contract, and in some lines a consid-
erable tonnage of orders has been
booked for the coming year. The

against him.
The last payment of claims the
State had against the United States,
growing out of the mobilization of
troops at Raleigh in the war with
Spain, was made Friday by the gov
ernment. The total of all the claims
filed was $31,231, but $S2G was dis
allowed. A young Davidson couuty woman
who attended Robinson's circus at
Salisbury Saturda3' was approached
by a man bearing a young baby in
his arms who asked her to hold the
baby for a few minutes. The woman
consented and the man left her and
has not been seen since then.
Jerre Ramsey, a 15-year-o!d boy,
who lived about two miles from Mar
shall, Madison county, last week ex
ploded four dynamite caps in his
hands. The left hand was blown off,
the right hand badly mangled and
one shell penetrated the boy's abdo

nited. The boy is fatally injured.
While William Harris was cleaning
out the garret at the Mose Wagoner
place, near Jerusalem, Davie county,
Saturday, he discovered a middling
ot meal wmc11 was supposed to nave
eeu stored there by Wagoner at the
close ot me civil war to keep tne
Lnion soldiers from tinding it and it
had been forgotten. The meat was
iu a fairly ood state of preservation
except that it was almost consumed
by the rats.
The 10 year-old son of E. E. Wol
lett, who lives four miles from Little
ton, was killed in a peculiar manner
Tuesday evening. Mr. Wollett runs
a gin, and had a large quantity of
cotton seed, Holes ueing dug every
few feet in the pi;e to keep the seed
from heating. His little "son w hile
playing iu the seed fell into one of
these hoies, about four feet deep, go-
ing down head foremost. The seed
closed in on him, and he smothered
to death before he could be found.
To this date the State has aided in
paying for 133 free libraries for rural
public schools. It is of interest to
say that this is the first money North
Carolina has ever spent on books for
schools. It is now certain, the offi-
cials say, that all the $3,000 annual
appropriation will be takeu up. This
means that $15,000 of books will be
bought, as the county and district
put in 10 each for the State's $10.
More than twice as many school li
braries have been decided ou as the
figures above given.

Since the day when the great sur
geon and practitioner, Prof. Edward
Phelps, M. D., LL. D., announc
ed the discovery of the formula of
Paine's celery compound and first
prescribed it with invariable success
in cases of nervous prostration, in
somnia, indigestion, rheumatism and
other diseases that have their origin

demand for this one remedy has gone
on steadily increasing, until to day
throughout every civilized country
more bottles of the remedy are pre
scribed by physicians and used by
those who are sick than of probably
all other prepared remedies com
bined.
The formula of Paine's celery com
poundwhich Prof. Phelps freely
gave to the medical world ranks in
importance in the medical world with
the anti-toxins and anesthetics.
Its discovery trarks a new era in the
practice of medicine, as the discovery
of ether marked a new era in the
practice of surgery.
The above unsolicited testimonial
from the Hon. Edward Mc-Kenny, is
one ot thousands which migni ue
published.
In calling for Paine's celery com
pound be sure that no quack medi
cine of patented name is palmed off
on you in its stead.
