The Constitution and the Journal have not only injured their own character as reputable newspapers, but have brought re proach upon Southern journalism in general, and aroused the resentment of every true newspaper man in Southern territory. We are glad that this disreputable contest has at last expired by lim itation, and it is to lie hoped that these two offending and offensive newspapers will now return to sanity, purge and live decently. The moral of it is that, editors should not be ottice-seekers. In that sense they should keep out of politics or get out of journalism. No man can serve two masters. . B. C. Hambley. K.iltiiiiiirt' ManfiK'turers' Record, Aug. IU. The death at Salisbury, X. C, last Monday of Cant. K. C. It. Hambley, vice-president of the Whitney Com pany, cut off in Ins prime a man who had achieved notably in Southern de velopment and who was in the midst of direction of one of the greatest undertakings in the South. An Eng lishman of the best type, Captain Hambley had achieved success as an engineer in Clreat Itritian, India, Af rica and elsewhere before he, finally engaged in various projects in Xorth Carolina in 1SS7. Six years before that, as a youth of 10. he had been engaged at the Gold Hill Mines in Xorth Carolina for awhile, nnd it is estimated that at least $5,000,000 had been invested in the neighbor hood of Salisbury directly through him before the $10,000,000 corpora tion of Pittsburg capitalists, the Whituey Company, began to carry out the plans for a full realization of the potentialities of the great water power at the falls of the Yadkin river, involving an immediate expenditure of $4,GOO,000 and an ultimate cost of more than $7,000,000. In this enterprise Captain Hambley was a moving spirit, and he stamped upon it his wonderful personality. Itscom pletion will be his greatest monu ment. The Largest Melon. Raleigh Kntfrjirise. Mr. T. C. Morris, of Swift Creek Township, is probably the champion watermelon raiser of the world. He sells many fine melons every year. On last Saturday, he brought two here that broke the records. One weighed eighty-five and the other ninety-five pounds. The ninety-five-pounds hielou was sold for $1.75. The gentleman who bought it sent it to his mother in Pennsylvania. So far asjwe know, the largest melon previously grown weighed ninety pounds,' and we think Mr. Morris lias the the record. A Mystery Solved. 'How to keep off periodic attacks of bil iousness and habitual constipation was a mystery that Dr. King's New Life Pills solved for me," writes Jolm N. Pleasant, of Magnolia, Ind.

Things Seen and Heard Oa a Recent Tnp to Hew I one ir 1 City, Niagara Falls and Toronto, Canada-Mr. T. T. Hick$ Writes About People and Places as they Impressed Him. 'oajinmiirated. who knew of the trip we took early in August, asked why I didn't write about it aa irequenuy lie eiuiuic. fhe principal reason was that 1 naa neen over mat trip ueiure, jei, .u .i..-... - recall u few facts, remarks ana mciuems worth noting. We went 'J'jO miles and back, spent about 00 hours in New York City and 24 at Niagara Falls, (18 hours on the water, saw perhaps a million people and were back home m eight uays. 1 am quiic buic that 1 hear more talking and sounds of uman voices each half day 111 Henderson thau I heard on that entire trip. Occa sionally wc saw two people on a steamer or car or in a hotel talking together, but always iu an undertone, the sounds 01 h oofs and wheels anu rojoenmery ut 1 uu- nur waters were the only sounds tnat burst upon those silent seas oinumauaj. We had a little chat with an Irish car riage driver who carried us over Central l'ark at -JA)0 per jiour. Jiany miug he knew that we supposed he wouldn't; nf ntlipr niiGTile matters he was very densely ignorant. I asked him why Cath olics prayed to the virgin Mary. He re r.lifil inarnritlv ill)id vou ever know a nn that would refuse anything his moth er asked him? We pray to her because she can get Christ to answer us when we couldn't." Once or twice 1 a-ked mm questions implying ignorance of things 1 Knew wen. xie rciuiij iiciwnn. "v meaning, and saiu "loure juiijms iuc fl vfin're n. irreat iollver." We attended the ay an penormauce 01 play "The Jyon aed the Mouse." The rain poured, uut tue nouse a ju.i. There were only 14 actors and ouly two or three at most on the stage at a time. There was nothing theatrical or artihcal about it, nothing beautiful or to appeal to the fancy. The actors were as plain nnil .-in natural as witnesses in court under oath: but what they did and said was as forceful, intellectual, instructive nnl iihsiirbiiiL' as uuvtliintr we ever heard. The i!4 hours passed seemingly as quick as many 30 minutes I have spent. O, its a great play and to hearit is to remember it. I wept two handker chiefs wriutrinsr wet during the penorm ance, and was all the time anu am yet wishing that I could do my duty in life as perfectly as those actors did. They represented grand ideas grandly, really. Nest night 1 went to -'The Social Whirl," a play of Jim Horner's selection. I slept through l he first act and then left. Jim had been misled by some one else. 1 felt that I received four times the value of the cost of our tickets to the first play and not one-fourth to the second. it's worth the time and expense re quired to go to New York just to see the harbor and the ships and the folks and how they move about. Moving moving on forever never saying anything. A broad street runs round the island just inside of the piers or boat landings. Myriads of drays of myriads of kinds, drawn by great big horses with great big feet crowd this street; and a horse car line of street railway. To get from the wharf across this street was well nigh impossible; but policemen were near at hand and after seeing us wait a minute would step in front of us and start across and a way would open between the ve hicles as did the waters when smitten by the rod of Moses. Folks are so thick iu New York that they have many ways of getting about- v-1 rT"""'1 inr"' t t"'!1 fiyorbTifJ .Jfih. drays, lusoiue piaceTstuereareVR) 'Houses piled one 011 top of another with electric cars running to the top house and nearly 2,000 people living under cue roof. It is said New York has a hundred thousand visitors per day. We were wondering how the 73 theatres and transportation lines and hotels could be so well patron ized by the people of that little town of four million people, till we took iuto con sideration thehundred thousand visitors. The rich on ."th avenue refuse to allow street cars on it so they run three horse tally-hos and electric autos carrying 25 people; these pass every few minutes, fare 10 cents. 1 heard a lady 011 one of them ask a driver whose a certain house w as. He replied: "I'm not paid to give information, madam, I'm paid to drive.' There are also a great number of touring cars that carry crowds about the city to places of iuterest at $ 1.00 each per trip of two hours. Those who ride on them are called "rubber neckers." On the boat from which we saw the Hudson bydaylight itwas thoughtthere were 51,000 people; but not one hollered or pushed or spoke aloud or did anything to disturb another. Such' quiet and de corum we never saw. There was plenty of good and wholesome food and water on board for all that vast crowd, cheap food, too. New York City is just half way from Henderson to Niagara Falls, but railroad fare ischeaper there and the speed of the trains is greater. The New York Central railroad has 4 tracks. The trains go a mile a minnte and the road bed is so perfect that one can sleep in a Pullman better than at home no mos quitoes. Niagara Falls is the wonder of our Western world. It is worth all it costs to go and 6ee it, tho of all the robbery under the name of contract, the guides and proprietors of vehicles and souvenir stores at Niagara take the cake. Y'our idea of the Falls if you haven't seen them is a vast amount of water pouring over a precipice, but the distance to the sights or to them all is 14 miles and it takes a day to make the trip, tho it can now be seeu on a trolly line called the Great Gorge Route in two hours hurriedly for a dollar. A gentleman from New Orleans who traveled with us from New York to Toronto and back said he asked a man at Niagara how they dared to cheat peo ple eo and the fellow replied: "We have only o months in which to earn a living for Uie whole 12 and we have to do folks while we have a chance." We crossed Lake Ontario and went to Toronto, a beautiful city. Order, silence, moving on, were the rules everywhere. A thousand people waiting in a room to board a steamer made not as much noise or bustle as one drayman in Henderson. I looked over the heads of the crowd and discovered that I was much the tall est person in the lot. Canadians are not so large or tall as North Carolinians, about the size generally of Mr. Arthur Smerdon, I thought. I didn't see but one negro in Canada and he was a city mail carrier. I asked a man how he got the job. He said. "There's no feeling against them here," and with a sly smile "we are ali equal here." I enquired the prices of things there and karned that excepting perhaps cutlery and woolen goods they are about the same as with us. The rule with the English is to levy a tariff on goods they do not produce, but to allow free trade and full competition on all that are produced ia Great Itritian. Our rule is just the reverse to admit free trade 00 goods we can't produce and place a tariff on those we do. Instead of England be ing a free trade country as I've always Given Up to Die.

Approaching the shore of rgna .n n. ann:iv morniucr in a Strong oreeze the shining sands glittering wnu iue light houses and spires and housetops dimly outlined in the distance 011 the shores caused us to feel the beauty of the song we had heard so often: "Land ahead a vt wiiirinn-" pte It was de- ii n .. una .r- ,..T...0, liirhtful. On the Monroe we saw a music book containing ".MOiiieuaniug. ohi Threads Among the Gold,'7 "Witu All My Soul then Let I s Part," and all the other old songs that were sung by young people 40 years ago. Seeing them was like meeting old menus long suiceiurnui.- ten. .. . Mrs. Hicksexpected trouble all the way but was happily disappointed. When we embarked at New York for the return voyage, she approached the stewardess with the suggestion of a fear that there would be a storm that afternoon, to which the stewardess replied rather sharply: "Why do you say that? I s;e nothing like it." Mrs. II : "We were all seasick coining and I was afraid we would be again." The stewardess: "That's a nasty way to be expecting trouble all the time before you get to it. If you were seasick once that's no reason you will be again, and if you are it will be good for you.'7 I didn't hear that till after we reached home, but I've no doubt it saved Mr. Hicks from being seasick re turning. Belle had her little spells both ways, but saw enough sights and had pnfimrh (nn to make uii for that a thou sand times. v T. T. H. Henderson, N. C, Aug. 27, '0j. There is nothing so pleasant as that bright, cheerful, at-pence-with-the-world feeling when you sit down to your breakfast There is nothing so conductive to good work and good results. The healthy man with a healthy mind and body is a better fellow, a better workman, a better citizen than the man or woman who is handicapped by some disability, however slight. A slight disorder of the sloiuach will derange your body, your tlmiiL'htH nnd vour diBDOtsition. Get away from the morbidness and the blues. Keep your stomach in tune and both your brain and bodv will respond. Little indiscretions of over-eating can be easily corrected and you will be surprised to see how much better man you are.

Thomas Dixony Jr's., new comedy drama, "The One Woman," refunded on his novel of the same name, will be pro duced in Norfolk, Va., October 1st, at the Academy of Music where his other famous play, "The Clansman," made its record-breakine; opening nearly a year ago. After a week in Norfolk and IUch mond, Va., "The One Woman," will begin a tour of the South, playing the same territory as that covered by " 1 h Clansman," last year, ' afaAtty, ini innjalaiiti,l,i,i.Lpxaiiftlit first act opens h a garden overlookin the bay and city of San Francisco, at the time of the rush to the Klondike. The three other acts are set in the frozen wilds of Alaska, showing its glaciers crowned with the Aurora borealis. Frank Gordon, the hero, is a college professor instead of a preacher, and liuth Spottswood, the heroine, is unmarried until flu ally united to the man she loves. This play, founded on the most dram atic and powerful of all Mr. Dixon's novels, treats of the influence of social ism on love and character. It is a pas sionate defence of the sanctity of the home and a plea for the glory and free dom of individual manhood. Its tragic moments are relieved by irresistible humor. Mr. F. G. Hamrick who was the Assis tant Manager of "The Clansman" last year, will be Mr. Dixon's business Man ager for "The One Woman." -4 to- Another Good Han Qoue Wrong.
