We enme down the street Saturday a week or two ago, coming down to our new quarters where some -ma chinery was feeing- received and we were wondering about a great many things. We met Tom Sherwood in front of the post-office and he said to hurry up, "Let's get In and see if we hava any mall I heard a train Wow twenty minutes ago." That wae a freight trrfn we told him, and he said he dldn t care, "It might have carried some mall." We went in and came out. We started on down the street and a Iras band which made very discordant' music, ir it wag made, was attempting; to raise a crowd to go to a land sale conducted by tbe Thomas Brothers. Many men were going out to the sale som-j with a dream of owning a uvwv, some wun tne wilder dream of making a few dollars In specula tion, and the music wae not stopped until we were in front of Huntley Stocktun Hill's undertaking parlors and the dead wagon wae being drawn by two fine fiery horses black as the night, and as we came on down a colored woman was emerging from a 5 and 10 cent store with a niece ot statuary wnicn had cost a nickel and she was regarding that with eager eyes. A we turned the corner a cripple sat on the ouKb stone with his hat In his hand and asked for alms, and not counting the automo biles to passed; the laboring men on thelnwav from dinner the dogs and the sparrows we had enough to think about. We wondered why a man gets the postofflce habit like we have It, and like Geo-'ge Royster has It, and Tom Sherwood hag It, and we concluded it was a habit nothing less because we cannot pass the postofflce without going In and the thing has grown to be almost a common scandal. Mack Albright, the Southern conduc tor who lives in Washington and whom everybody likes, was passing through the town the other day and stopped oft here to wait for a north bound train and he wanted to see us because Mack is a friend of oure. He doesn't admit thls,but it is a fact. He went to the post office and asked Judge Adams, whom he met there if he had "seen the Colonel" and the Judge looked all around the lobby In surprise and said he tBought we were tle ticket taker that he always saw us there. But - tVe wondered why they have sue) black horses and . such fiery horses to draw a hearse; .why they should not have a lazy, plky old team that would saunter off something like Death is supposed to saunter; why they didn't have horses to corres pond with the looks and feelings of the mourners Aut we have always noticed wherever we have been, that the hearse is' rigged out with some thing of a gaudy appearance al though its black plumes and black color attempts to give It a sombre appearance. We wondered why all the people couldn't see art in a five cent plaster of Paris cast, and why it was neces sary tor a man legless and armless to sit on a cold curb stone and beg a nickel or a dime from the benevo lent nasger-by. We wondered why people let the little doge that loved them, if they, didn't love the dbgJ wander on busy streets and tnen we eat down' and figured It out that all kinds .of people, with all. kinds of thoughts and all kinds of desires fill the world and that finally we all will nait for the hearse and Its plum and we "won't care how-fiery the horses are, or what kind of music tbe lan '.-dealers' brass band makes or whether Tom Sherwood gets a check1 or not for we will all have checkod, ourselves and that will be the end of It on this terraqueous globe and perhtups . In .the other world there will be no parcel post no ' grave diggers; and no men chasing dollars to hold in trust for only a little while. . v v , The Difference In a show window of a Greensboro art etoro recently were displayed, fif ty lanscapes of Western Northt Caro lina ' scenery done in oil, and the placard read that'the artist was the South' greatest, y,In order to start the ball rolling the placard went on to say that the first ten of these land- say that the first ten ot these lands- scapes would be sold at your own price. Think of the hours ot patient toll tho artist expended in producing these pictures reproducing Nature and the bidders few;" Yet had the old mar. who did the stunt In oil turned his attention to suggestive picture of flesh-burdened women he could have sold- them privately for a ten tpot each '-and so runs the world away. - , .

Y Of course, do vernor SulUer wae vindicated,-but the record still stands there like the markings on the wall that made pld Bolshazzer tremble. 1 v A PLEASANT TRIP Marshal Stewart to Take a Trip to Southern Italy and Portugal Mr. Marshal Stewart tells lis that he wants to buy' a corK farm In the south of the East, and that he will next summer take a trip to look over the property which is a wonder in its way. The cork farm was started by a native ot Rockingham county who was employed (by the Greensboro Hardwae Company, to get cork for fishing lines, the demand of the Haanbms Fishing Club being se great that it was necessary to raise the cork. It may not be known to all neonla. but cork grows oa a species of the oas tree, ana every few years' the bark, which Is cork is peeled of and fashioned into Ashing corks or any aina 01 tori needed. This particular farm waa nur- chased aud the cbrk grove planted- one nunarea acres. The man who owned it was something of a wlsard along the lines ot Burbank, of Call- lornia. r.o ne experimented with the chemical dopes and finally found one that forced the trees to grow with wonderful rapidity. So great was the grjwth that it was nothing to secure a crop of cork three feet In thlcknesf. This was almost marve lousindeed, Bill Phlpps Insists that it is marvelous. Thousands of cars and snip loads of this cork were sent to Greensboro, and the man who ofjned the farm one morning went out ami treated the trees to an ex tra heavy application of this magi cal chemical dope and the same day got a cablegram from the states calling r.lm home on Important bust' ness. He did not leave the farm in the hands of any one and rushed from Portugal to the United States. Transacting his business he started for bis cork grove and upon arriv ing there was very much surprised to see that the fifty acres which he had treated with his dope had so increased the growth of the trees that they had all grown together- making a fifty acre patch of solid cork two hundred feet high. Of course this was a lucky strike, because be put a saw mill in the edge of the grove and commenced sawing out blocks of cork anywhere from two hundred feet long by sixty feet wide, and hollowing them, made house boats something like four hundred. These house boats he sold for a labulous sum to the crowned heads of Europe who wanted some thing for the summer that could not sink, and in this way made an independent fortune. The re maining fifty acres which grew to gether have been dissolved and a fine crop is now coming on. Mr. Stewart not only expects to buy the land but also the formula for mak Ing the trees grow together. He will if succetisful in his negotiations, plant a thousand acre grove, apply the magic dope and produce the larg est piece of cork Imaginable. It will be several miles long ana as many v-ide, and will-be grown In a marshy place, and after the trees have amalgamated. he will turn the ocean Into the swamp and by some other magic dope apply It to the roots of the trees and thus sniff the roots oft. and the treat mass of cork will float out on the wide bospm 01 tbe soundlns sea. and Marshal Stew art will float it to the United States and saw it up, making all the corks needed at Hamburg for many years, Some neople think that there are cork trees at Hamburg now, but that is because the club members by rea son of poor casting have the trees literally filled wltn tne f ortugai corks. There have been some exaggerated stories told about this cork grove, but tho above facts are the plain. unvarnlBbed truth as we gathered it from reliable and trustworthy per sons, sent at our expense, to get tne truth In the matter. Am n iooks like the truth wae had enough. A THOUGHT FOB THB DAY The man who buys s roast of beef, An-1 puts In the storage cold Will giro bis stomach no relief " And rarorally will lose tils gold. And so tbe man who money hoards, And finds himself too close to spend it. Walks turough tbe world on two edged -. ords A-wonderlnc X he ought to lend It!

Trogden, who has been c banker, farmer, Clerk Of the Federal Court sad apple raiser, and who tells us that a month or so ago he caused the sixty mark has figured out the right way to live. He says he will work eight months In the year and take two months In the sum mer to spend In the mountains or r the seashore and two months in tie winter li Florida when the weather here' Is coldest He says that this takes some money as well as time, but he is convinced that a man who has toiled all his life should Anally get something out of existence more than a mere day to day erlnd 1 to accumulate money. And Mr. Trogden . Is everlastingly -right. The man who sees things as he sees them, who takes about four months oft out' of the twelve to fish and. hunt and read get' clear away from harness exactions will live lon ger; 1 e will be haPPter--and then he is taking his share or wnat.oeiongs to him.
