Isn't it strange that some men, who will tx; kind and obliging to thfir neighbors, and polite to other l idk'H, will Lx rudt; anl cold and harHh at home, and perfect bears to their wives crabbed, Hnappish, un generous and altogether harsh and unsocial and hateful? Does anybody kiiow of Mich men? Not that we wish fo lay all the wrongdoingaml blame on mankind, or condemn them en masse, not at all. There are plenty of good and noble men, but not quite enough. When they are so strong, and have so much power to do good and win love, and bless their homes, why won't they all do it? "Circumstances alter cases." Some men's wives are trying enough to wear out the patience of Job; and then, in the pervisity of things, you will generally find a real bear of a man united with a frail, patient, for-U-aring and forgiving wife. She is vour wife, .Mr. I'.ear, and the mother of your children, ami probably de pendent on you for home and means, and can't get away from you; so, of course .she is in your power and you ran treat her just as you choose. I5ut if you exer;t her heart to beat with pleasure when she hears your foot steps, or to proffer you caresses, or so rejoice in your presence, you are much mistaken. She is human neither more nor less. Please reverse your nit nations and conditions. How much, and how long would you bear such treatment as you give her? You will inevitably be weighed for just w hat, you are and there is no help for it. The South Setting the Pace. Chariot te t l)tt rver. Kecent census statistics show that of 2.',1",G1.' cotton spindles in 1 01 1." Southern Stat ea had 7,o07,74 0, or nearly one third. New England, with i:,011,''H, or over half, re tained her predominance, but the long retention of that predominance is made to appear very improbable. Whereas the Southern States nearly doubled their producing capacity in the years, her gain was but from' 1L'.H.(),0) spindles. Massachusetts, with H.411,210, still outweighs the entire South; South Carolina is next with 2,864,092; Rhode Isiand third with 2,019,.r22; North Carolina fourth with 1,680,050, and Georgia fifth with l,:J10,r8:. Equally satisfactory as showing the South's rapidity of growth tire rineiit national banking statistics. Since 1000 there have been chartered 1,"10 new national banks. In these the Middle Yest comes first with 085; the South is second with 880; the West third with 807; the East fourth with 575; the Pacific; States fifth with 208; ami New England sixth with 40. Hawaii is credited with four of this total, and Porto Itico and Alaska with one each. Ity States Texas is lirst with 381, with 17, 1H 1,000 capital; and Pennsylvania gets first place in new capital. Her showing is $25,182,000 in 340 new banks. Of course the reduction of minimum capital limit to $25,000 has hail some effect in swelling the South's and the West's totals not only numerically but proportionate ly, yet these figures are fairly impres sive. Iti industrial, commercial and financial growth the South today moves at the very forefront of national development. Another Advance in the Price of Thread. Cotton thread, until a short time ago the most stable in price of all the staples, selling the country over for 5 cents, is to be advanced again so mat the retail price will be 10 cents. On May 20 there was an advance, which brought the retail price to 6 ami i cents, lot ton thread lor do mestic use is manufactured almost exclusively by a trust. Increased cost of raw material and nn advance in wages are the reasons given for the contemplated increase in price. Independent manufacturers declare that neither of these reasons is a good one, for when cotton was selling mucn nigner man it is now thread retailed for 5 cents. "Governor Glenn's war paint is the kind that won't wash off," chirruns a squib writer. It isn't paint.

The Exposition is really abigshow, and to get a proper appreciation of it rou must see it. What is of most interest to North j Carolinians is the showing made by this State. It is superb. North Carolina is literally at the "head of the table" at Jamestown. The State building is one of the handsomest on the grounds, and competent judges from other States have been kind enough to say that it beats all of them. And everywhere one sees something from the old State that makes his bump of pride in his State grow larger. The exhibits are of the very best, and are displayd with taste and good judgment. "The general exhibit from this State can but make a most favorable im pression on the Fisitors, and many of them marvel at the resources of Noith Carolina. The expressions heard at the Exposition every day are sumcient justincauon oi uie htiin l taken bv those who favored an appropriation by the State for the show, ihey should also put tne blush of shame on the cheek of all who onnosed taking any part in the enterprise by the State. North Caro lina will be benefited in untold meas ure bv the showinir made. Think how it would look for the State, right next door to the Exposition o-rounds. and within two hours ride. or less, not to have leen represented at all or at least lmpoperiy represent ed. The Exposition is all right. It is worth vour time and vour notice. If you don't go you will regret it. Another such opportunity will likely not be brought so close to your door within vour lifetime. Respect for the Law. SmithfielJ Hern Id. Somehow, we don't know why, there is a lack of respect for the law in many Mates of the . nion, and we faar that thislack of respect is greater in some sections of the South than in other parts. Perhaps the greatest cause for this lack of respect for the law is the fact that our courts so often fail to convict and properly unish criminals, there have been instances in North Carolina within recent years in which the public felt that there had been a gross miscar riage of justice. hen a heuious crime is committed anil the cult)irit is brought to trial and all manner of means is resorted to bv his at torneys to prevent him being found guilty, law-abiding citizens become. alarmed sometimes because they see that criminals arc going to be turned loose to again disturb the peace and serenity of the community. If the people everywhere were confident that justice would be meted out to criminals, there would be fewer lynch ing bees in the South. Those observations were suggested by reading an interview in the Wash ington Post, with V. II. Keer, Crown Prosecutor for Ontario. Canada. Mr. Kerr is quoted as folio Jn all my remembrance I cannot recall a case of lynching in Canada, and I do not believe there has been one in man3 years. It is not that we extenuate heinous crimes, but it is because of the feeling of the people that a person who commits an act of violence is certain to meet swift jus tice. I have had cases in my own court that were so serious that, I be lieve, had the crimes happened in the United States the perpetrators would have tftiffered instant death at the hands of.a mob, but in every cae a single policeman has been able quiet ly to take his prisoner from his cap tors. The Canadian people absolutely respect the majesty of the law, be cause they know an offender will get his deserts Of course, Canada has not so many social problems to deal with as you may have in this coun try, but no matter what might be the apparent justification for mob violence, the people always wait for the law to take its course?' The Newspaper Man. Wiliiiiugton Messenger. An editor of a reputable paper may start out with a proposition and if he believes he is right and has confi dence in his cause he will, nine hun dred juid ninety-nine times out of a thousand, carry his point, if he just keeps hammering away at it. His readers may ridicule him and per haps denounce him at first, but if that editor will continue his labors in the cause of right and justice he will be sure to win in the end. He may get no credit for what he has done. The public will in the end feel that it has always been of that opin ion. The newspaper man will have the self-satisfaction of knowing that he has on that one occasion at least helped to shape public sentiment in the right course. He gets no praise and no thanks for what he has done, but he has the approval of his con science and he knows he has done a good work for his people and that is reward enough for him. Newspaper men are not the sordid characters they are supposed bv many to be. It may come with all ill grace from us to say it. but thev do a great deal for the public for which they neither receire nor expect remuneration or even empty words of commendation from the public. The Press on Mr. Kitchin. Wilmington Messenger. Mr. W. V. Kitehin's imwiirrnntpd attack on certain newspapers in the state because they criticise Ins omcial acts has brought upon him the rriti- eisni of rsany of the papers of the state, wtnen were entirelv neutral i the contest for the gubernatorial nomination, it is plain that Mr. Kitchin has lost ground by his con uuct in tins matter, ile went en tirely too far in his criticism of the papers which he asserted were op posed to his nomination. He had no rirht to criticise them ar nil had they openly opposed him or advanced the cause of some other candidate.

Even his friends among the newspapers ouiu not enaorse sucn conduct. The New Bern Sun thinks it. is strange that some who have at least had opportunity to be smart wil persist in using abuse for argument. The Making of a Successful Wife Dy CASPER S.

Good Job and a Little Cash on Hand. 0 Copyright. 1005. by Casper S. Tost. TV AT Y DEAIt LITTLE GIRL I am rVl simply consumed with as I J tonihhment. The idea of my daughter, my little sweet heart, thinking of marriage comes to nie like a blow from a pile driver, and you know, uiy d;ir, that pile drivers bit a pretty hard lick, especially when you aren't looking. I'm away from home so much that it's mighty hard to realize that you are not my baby any more; that it is no longer proper nor dignified to dandle you on my knee not for me, t loiist; that your dresses have lengthened downward until they curl around your dainty ankles, and the golden hair that used to hang down your back like a streak of woven sun shine Is now done up in a fashionable something or other on top of your lK'ad. I forget that jou are a young lady, n graduate from a swell semi nary, can h:i:.ni!"r the piano to make a I'adere .v-ki (I'm not sure whether I spell that right or not! sit up and take notice; can embroider dinky little flow era so faithiully that the honeybees come into the windows to suck the corner drug 8 t o r e perfume from their silk en centers; can quote Virgil and Tennyson and Drowning and other people that I don't under stand and don't care to. but am mighty, proud that you do; can write nnd read 1 Uir-K Can hammer the tuch erudite pa li"". pers on the whlthciness of the wherefore at the women's Hub that all the hearers, I am told, are tilled with wonder that so much knowledge could be brought to gether under such a pretty hat. In Bhort. my dear, I forget that my daugh ter as an up to date young lady is strictly it. La me, ciiild, it seems only yesterday that I was rending you fair' stories from a yellow ovciel linen book and showing you how A was di.Terentiated from U by certain peculiarities of archi tecture. Ioii't you remember how you used to hide behind the rosebush by the walk and Jump out and frighten me half to death by hollering "Boo'." when I c.'.me home in the evening? Don't you remember how you used to climb up into the haymow and slide down with a cry of alarm at the start and a shout of delight at the finish when you landed safely in my arms? Don't you remember but, pshaw! Of course you don't. You haven't reached the age of memories yet. in your im agination all the beauty aud brightness and glory of life are just ahead of you, and you liok that way. I pray God that you may always look that way, always see th sun.-hine a little brighter just beyond until you bask in the light supernal. The Young Man In the Case. And now my little girl waut3 to get married and would like to have papa's consent. Papa a good deal in the po sition of tin countryman who goes up against the sht'Il game at the circus. 1 ho young man in the case is work in g the shells, and the chances are 100 to 1 against pa pa. I'm mighty sorry that I dou't Ii know him. At least. I don't re member having met him unless he was oue of that string of dough faced pop- in j a y s t h a t t-'P ii'juiimt the xhell danced around game. you all the time I was at home last trip and kept me from seeing you when I wanted you all alone. Of all the high collared, turned up trousers dudes I ever saw that bunch was the worst. But, there; maybe he was one of them, and, come to think of it, my judgment was based on the mass. You say he's the dearest, sweet est, bestest but, my dear little girl, if Mr. William Jackson Rollins is all that you say he is the morning papers In heaven must le runniitg display ad vertisements asking for information as to the wherealxmts of a lost, strayed or stolen angel. If William fits your description he's got no business down here. His proper job is flitting around the pearly gates shooing away us old sinners who want to break in. But I'm willing to make allowances for superlatives of rhetoric and enthu siasm and consider your prospectus on a 1 ier cent basis. Besides, your mother assures me that William is all wool and the proper width, and forty years' experieuce has taught me that your mother's judgment can be relied on. Personally 1 don't think any man that walks or any that rides in an automobile, for that matter is good enough for my little girl, but your old daddy's got souse enough to know it's the way of woman to let some good for nothing cuss In trousers carry her off, Just as I did your mother, though ror tne life of me I never could under- stand what she could see in this bun dle of bones to hanker after. The Lord did a mighty good Job when made woman, but it seems to me might have Improved upon Adam liVle. I don't expect to find perfection he he In William. If he's got a sufficient quan uty or good, everyday sense, if he's honest and upright, if he doesn't tumn backward when anybody says work, ana u ne really and trnlr Iovm tou reckon that's all that I can reasonably eioecr.

I would hata tj see yon married to a deadbeat or a spend thrift, one 13 a moral and the other is a mental delinquent, and you wouldn't be likely to find happiness with either. But giv en Industry and a disposition to spend a little less than is made and comparative poverty in youth is no great draw back. Whou I married your mother I had a stout heart, a steady job, my trousseau and $200 in cash. That was all my capital. I have Embnrrntslnj to a bride. more than that now in cash, but I as rich as I did then, in reality. That is a good don't feel nor was I enough foundation for any youngster to begin married life with, provided, of course, the girl in the case is con tented to start with that and be satis fied with what he can provide for her with-, ut overstepping his income. So I say that if William is as well fixed as I was I shall have no objection to him on the financial score. But it is mighty important that he have this start It's mighty embarrassiug to a bride to find the tailor's unreceipted bill in the in side pocket of her hubby's wedding coat, and if you discover that William is a little backward in money matters you'd better postpone the joyous cere mony until he can get a move on him self and get ahead of the pay wagon. On the other hand, my dear, if he has a roll as big as a telegraph pole I wouldn't consider it an insurmounta ble obstacle. Money is a mighty good thing to have lying around, and I don't know that I would consider it advisa ble to put a limit on the amount, pro vided it doesn't pile up around a man's legs so that he can't work. I have tak en it for granted, little girl, that tou love each other. I don't know why I should, for I am well aware that love is getting to be unfashionable, but I am one of those old fashioned fellows who believe that love is quite essential to happiness in married life and have no patience with those people who hold that mutual esteem is a satisfying sub stitute. There are lots of men and lots of women that I highly esteem, but I'd hate mighty bad to have to make a contract to live with any one of them indefinitely. Love Is an entirely differ ent proposition. It comes to the nor mal man or woman but once once at a time, at any rate and its the feel ing which the good Lord meant should be a prelude to and a necessary ac companiment of the relations between man and wife. It's the real divine fire, little girl, and there are no substitutes that are of as much value as a cockle- bur In a sack of oats by comparison. But young folks are sometimes mistak en in the feeling. The Genuine Article. Do you remember how you broke out with the hives at the same time Nannie Jones was down with the smallpox over in the next block and how des perately scared your poor mother was? Lots of people make the same mistake about love. They think they have a very serious attack of the real thing when it's only a case of hives, figura tively speaking. I hope yon and Wil liam have caught the genuine article. None but the genuine will last; none but the genuine will carry you through the storms and land you safely in the blessed haveu. Your mother and I have passed forty happy years togeth er. There have been trials and trou bles a-mauy, God knows, but we brav ed and breasted and surmounted them together upheld by love. That's the main thing, honey. Do you love him, really love him? Does he love you? Money and position and brains are of small importance when compared with love. It doesn't insure happiness. There are circumstances under which love is unhappy, miserably unhappy sometimes, but you certainly can't be happy long without it. Yes, my little girl, you have my con sent full and free. I wish I had more light. I wish that my judgment could be based more upon personal observa tion than in my confidence in your mother's good sense, strong as that is, and in your own well tried discretion. I would like much to see and know the man of your choice before I handed you over to his keeping, but I am so situated that I cannot do as I wish. I must go it blind, my dear, and perhaps it Is just as well. If I were at home I would doubtless do Just as your moth er and yourself desired me to do, and whether we know or whether we don't we must still to a certain extent go it blind in this matter of matrimony. We have to take a good deal on trust any how, and we can only hope aud pray that your married life may be as hap py, as free from care, as your mother and I have tried to make your child hood days; that your husband may be, and always be. all that you uow believe him to be, and that as wife and mother you may reach as near to perfection as the dear one who gave you birth. And now, little one, as to your wed fllng. I don't believe in long engage ments, but don't be in a hurry. The engagement is a period of trial that is a mighty valuable preliminary' to mar riage. It gives you a chance to get better acquainted with one another, to get a closer view of the other's quali ties, to find out whether you are really fitted for life together. There's no rush about it. The parson Isn't go ing to leave town. And whatever you do, honey, don't sneak out the back door and get married by a justice f the peace with a deputy constable cs the witness. That isn't a real mar riage. It's just a going through some legal forms that enable you to live to gether without being interfered with by the sheriff. Her wedding should be the greatest event of a girl's life some-thing that will be full of pleasant memories for her in after years; a memory of pretty dresses an J a prettier bride, a memory of joyous music and glorious flowers, with the odor of or ange blossoms hovering over all and scenting the years like a breath from the blessed land, and, above all, a memory of solemn ceremony and of holy vows so impressed upon young hearts by the beauty and sublimity of the surroundings and the service that time cannot efface them. You Are Worth Waiting For. Y'ou can't afford to miss the material pleasures of the preparation; the hours of shopping with your mother, the making of plans and specifications for the bridal gown, the building of weird and wonderful garments Immersed in oceans of ruffles and laces and rib bon, the delightful little pernuptlal social events with which your friends honor you you mustn't 6klp all thes just because William is impatient. Give him to understand that anything worth having is worth waiting for as well as working for, and if my little girl isn't worth having I don't know anything on this green earth, that is. No, sweetheart, take your time and get married right. I haven't any nse for these impromptu wedding. "Let's go out and get an ice cream soda, and while we're about it we might as well tie up." That's the kind of stuff that fills the divorce courts and the news papers with harrowing tales of unhap plness. Don't do that, dearie; it doesn't pay. Besides, I want to have you for my own a little longer, and when you do get married your old daddy wants to be there to be permitted to walk down the aisle of the church with you Your old daddy wants to walk down the aisle with you on his arm. on his arm and to give you away while pride and sorrow and Joy are rolling over one another in his heart. Yes, little girl, you have my consent, and may God ever bless you. Your affectionate father, JOHN SNEED. v P. S. I have Just received a manly, sensible, modest letter from William just the kind of letter I should want to get from my future son-in-law. It gives me ihe impression that his friends call him Bill, and I like that. If hi name had been Reginald or Algernon I .hoi'M have felt com pel!?,! to g hoiije on ihe first train to lo.k him over. J. S. The South Building Monuments. Raleigh Progressive Farmer. If a people does not appreciate its heroes dead, there is little promise that it will row heroes in its future. It is encouraging therefore to tind the South paying tribute to those that once served her well by rearing monuments to their memory to Hampton at Columbia, to Gordon at Atlanta, and to Davis at Rich mond, to mention only a few of the more recent instances." South Caro lina is also preparing now to erect a $10,000 statute to Calhoun in Statuary Hall, Washington, and North Carolina will put Vance to stand beside hitu. A monument to Wyatt, first fallen in the Civil War, is also a natural sequel to the build ing of the Iiagley monument. And now in more than one South ern State movements are on foot looking to the erection of suitable monuments to commemorate the Spartan courage of the Confederate women. General Irvine C. Walker is advocating the idea in Tennessee, and in North Carolina, Mr. J. W. Bailey has the idea much at heart. And that there will be a hearty and generous response it would be a reflection on all the South to doubt. A Conundrum. Raleigh Evening Times. The following conundrum and answer have been sent to this paper on a postal card: "Why is Carrie Nation like the rheumatism?" "Because they are both hell on joints." Comment is unnecessary.

Place her among the flower, fos ter her as a tender plant, nnd you will thus make of her a tender plant, and she becomes a thing of fancy, waywardness and folly; She is an noy ed by a dewdrop, fretted by the touch of a butterfly's wing, ready to faint at the sound of a beetle or the rattle of a window-sash at night, and is even overpowered by the scent of a rosebud. But let real calamity ccme, rouse her affections, enkindle the fires of her being and mark her, then hove strong is her heart. Place her in the heat of battle, give her a child, a bird, or anything to protect, aud see her lifting her white arms as a shield, as her own blood crimsons her upturned forehead, praying for her life to protect the helpless. Transplant her into the dark places of the earth, call forth her energies to action and her breath becomes a healing, her presence a blessing. She disputes inch by inch the etrides of a stalking pestilence, when man, the strong and brave, pale and affright ed, shrinks awaj Misfortuue hurts her not; she wears away her life in silent pndurance and goes forth with less timidity than to the bridal altar.

The casual observer is first attracted to Uncle Remus' 8 Magazine for Septem ber bv the originality and charm of its cover design. This represents the first of a series of "Southern girls" and is drawn with grace and vigor by fc. M. Ashe. It is called "The Richmond Girl" and the face and figure are typical of the unusual and fascinating beauty which characterizes 6o many Virginia gentle women. The contents of the magazine amply fulfill the interest and anticipation cre ated by the preceding numbers, and ev ery feature is well handled. In the current issue Joel Chandler Har ris assumes at will his various and de lightful roles, and as Uncle Remus he sings a new song telling how "Brer Rab bit Raised the Dust," while as "the Parmer" writes eloquently and tenderly of "The Little Children of Snap-Beau Farm" and as "Billie Sanders" he ex presses some very original and practical views on "Problems and Remedies" touching with rare wisdom the much discussed Race Question. Don Marquis, the Associate Editor, is well represented by his usual clever de partment in which timely topics are dis cussed, as well as by a scholarly book review which gives "An Oriental View of Christendom, and also by a very enter taining story entitled the "Tribulations of a Rhyme Factory." Other fiction features are excellent sto ries by John Fleming Wilson, Reina Melch- er, Frank H. Sweet and Norval Richard son, while Mr. Harris' serial, "The Bish- op,the Bagerman and the Right of W ay moves on toward a dramatic conclusion. Mrs. Lundy (L. H.) Harris contributes a clever essay on "Becoming a Man," and M. A. Lane writes of Weisman as the third in a series of "Five Men Who Have Made Epochs." There is another "Page of Stanton' as well as several bits of exquisite verse, while appropriate illustrations are con tributed by G. P. Haynes, Alice Beach Winter, R. H. Palenske, James Preston and Charlotte Harding. The regular departments detoted to literary criticism, theatrical gossip and current New York topics are all replete with genuine interest and unite to form a composite collection of reading matter which should appeal to all sorts and conditions of men.
