You Want to Make a Man of Yourself, the Brightest and Best and Most Useful Man That Can be Made Out of You Improve Your Oppor tunities, Arise and Use the Means at Hand For They Are Thick on Every Side. Raleigh Biblical Recorder. Dear hoy of field and wood and brook, stop awhile your work and play and let lis talk of the days to be. You are thinking of the time when you will boa man. whom you will be like, ami what you will do. You want to do something rood and Treat, to be a force and factor in your day, to make the world richer while you live and poorer when you die. Very well. Have your hopes and hold them fast; and mny you go beyond them! Then learn, dweller in sunny home, that these golden days of the morn ing time, they are j'our days of preparation. As they fly, you must et ready for life or live in vain. You must sharpen your axe before you are ready for the wood. You prepare tin? land before you plant or sow. You make ready the barn before stock is housed or harvest gathered. And thus yourself, body, mind, and soul your entire self you must pre pare thoroughly and well or you will never, never be able to fill your measure of life. You know this, perhaps you feel it, and maybe you are yen riling, strug gling upward; if so, cherish thisspark of aspiration as a live coal from heaven's altar for it can make of you a being of power and net you in a large place; but if not, awake and see and do, or your lot is cast by your own will among the servile "hewers of wood and drawers of water." J5ut, dear, broad-acre boy. you want to make a man of yourself, the brightest and best and usefulestman that can be made out of you. Then loll not iu idleness awaiting but not ready for the opportunities of life. Arise and use the means at hand, for they are thick on every side. Manage that tricky, stubborn mule and he will teach you to manage men. Keep your tools in order, and rust and dust will not be so apttogather on your brain. Train soul .as well as sinew while you plow that stumpy field or split that knotty log or dig shattussocky ditch. Broaden your vision and sympathy under the open sky, blue with light or black with storm. With at tent eye study Nature in all her charming, changing moods, and she may tell you things yet unconfided. And when the rainy day and leis ure hour come, prize them as the very gold of Ophir. Head the good books. Hunk while you read; read again; and you will never be the same boy again, but a broader, larger, better! And the first-class newspaper you must not live without it; it will be an education in itself. Seek the company of the best in formed, the sages aad wise men of the neighborhood. Cultivate your social instincts not in heedless gossip or heartless gibe and jest, but in the pure, ennobling atmosphere of the brightest and best fellowship around you. Wo miles and miles to hear on special occasions the speaker who can speak, the man with a message: Attend church for the good you can get and give, for nothiug is more vital than the culture of conscience. (lo to school study hard, learn well if not fast, and develop roundly if not brilliantly. (Jo to school, if yoti have to borrow books, live on bread and water, wear patches, and go in debt! (lo to the best school in reach; in your heart of hearts determine to be a man in culture, character, con duet: and keep going till your powers have been tested, trained, capacitated for the best service they can render. And then you are ready for the real business of life! These things do; and your founda tional days on the farm will, from whatever "heights you attain, glow in memory throughout the years. Ah, my lad, you often think you are in the weeds or woods lost to view, now and ever; but fret not! The world is abroad ia search of men. For all the centuries it has looked from its turrets to the far, deep country for strength and stam ina. Y'ou and your like are needed and wanted the moment you are ready. Wanted, a Moses: and he re sponds from the back sideof the des ert. Wanted, a dideon: and the calling angel rinds him at the thresh ing floor. Wanted, a David: and the anointing prophet must summon him from the flocks a-field. Wanted, a Messiah: and lie comes from the carpenter's bench. Wanted, a states man-apostle: and I'aul, the tent maker, answers the call. And wanted to-day: men who can do well what the world needs done, men who can bring the worth while things to pass. The world's work is not over; it is just begun. To be ready for your part and post, you must prepare. That is your word Prepare! Pre pare!! Remember, "There is room at the top." and "Hitch your wagon to a star." And God bless you, my lad, dod bless you! Excellent Health Advice. Mrs. M. M. Davison, No. 379 Giflord Ave., San Jose, Cab, saye: "The worth of Klec tric Bitters as a general family remedy, for headache, billiousnees and torper of the liver and bowels is so pronounced that I am prompted to say a word in its favor, for the benefit of those seeking relief from such afflic tions. There is more health for the diges tive organs in a bottle of Electric Bitters than in any other remedy I know of." Sold under jrnarantee at Melville Dorsey's drug ptore. 50c. Study of Grammar and Cora positon. Kul.-ifih ChriHtiaii Advocate. The study of grammar and com position receives little attention these latter days. We wish to call at tention to two rules: (1) The pos sessive singular of English notlns is formed by adding"s" to thenomina tive. The possessive singular of Sam Jones should, therefore, be written Jones's. It is incorrect to write it Jones.' The possessive siniruhir of .Wttles is properly written Nettles's. (2) And does not take the place of a comma. John, Tom, and Dick study grammar, is the proper way to punctuate a series of words. If in a series of phrases commas are used, then the phrases should be separa ted by semi-colons. Tom Brown, of Aiken; John Smith, of Alcolu; and Bill Jones, of Arcadia, were in town yesterday, is the correct way to write it. The comma often takes the place of and, but and does not take the place of a comma, except among antiquated people. We would sug gest to all educated persons, that once ti year they carefully real i trrammar. Especially do we suggest to the recent graduates of our col leges that they get a, primary gram mar and carefully read it from begin ning to end. And. again, do nor, be too free in the use of capital letters. We respectfully commend to our cor respondents the careful reading of a primary grammar. . . .a- . e- A Vast Advance in Farming. farthaRP Bladn. Beferring to the opening of the A. and M. College at Raleigh nineteen years ago Prof. Massey says: "Looking back to nineteen years ago when we opened the Agricultural and Mechanical College in Raleigh, we see that there has been a vast ad vance and that the advance in farm ing is largely the cause of advance ment in other lines. We hope to keep the ball moving." It is a plain and accepted truth that therejias been a great advance made in the agricultural pursuits in North Carolina in recent years. Twenty years ago it was the ex ception in this State to gather a bale of cotton to the acre. Now it is the rule; and while this is true the yield of corn per acre has been greatly in creased and all other farm products likewise. Of course some progress would come in these respects from the plod ding and experimenting of time. But it is due to the A. and M. College and the men that it has equipped; the Experiment Station and the knowl edge that it has disseminated; and the work of the agricultural depart ment at Raleigh and the agricultural journals, especially the Progressive Farmer, that this accelerated pro gress in farming has come about in North Carolina. Hence the duty and self-interest of the agricultural class to patronize, support and uphold all of these intitutions. Caution Should be Exercised in Eating Canned Goods. It is not infrequently that you hear or read of cases of ptomaine poisoning as a result of eating canned goods. This sort of thing would rarely occur, in all probability, if proper precaution was observed. In the first place one should never allow any canned goods to remain in the can for a moment after it has been opened. Turn the contents into a china or glass receptacle and cover it up. Otherwise you are courting a case of poisoning. Some times the goods may be spoiled, as in the case of canned oysters, lobsters, or even tomatoes or other vegetables con taining acid, but this is of compara tively rare occurrence in cases where the contents are eaten immediately and not allowed to stand in the tin for any length of time after being opened. The safest plan, however, is to be careful what you eat and not eat too much of any one thing. Cigarette Habit Cause for Divorce. A new cause for divorce has been added to the list according to an ex change, which prints the following: "The cigarette habit is sutticient cause for divorce in my court," said .Judge John M. Broderick, of Ohio. when a young wife testified that her husband was accustomed to get up in the night to smoke cigarettes. "That is just as bad as the liquor habit, and habitual drunkenness is always cause for divorce," said the court. The Southern Railway Company is taking back a large number of hands who were thrown out of work about fivs months ago: building expendi tures throughout the eouiitry for August have iucreased 15.4 per cent over those for July; we are having abundant crops: men and women are traveliug more than usual; mar riages are not less frequent than formerly.

Perhaps it was the late Governor Morelieau. one of tbe really jrreat men North Carolina has produced, ! who said that "Nature was on afrolie ! and made the Meadows rich." Ryrd, , who ran the line between North Caro lina and the Old Dominion called this region his '"Land of Eden." Neither' pxagerated the situation much, j We spent last Friday night in thisj enchanted region, the guest of Col. j B. K. Terry, who showed us over! two or three of the pretty estates fiaturdaj-, the Imperial farm, and I the Fitzgerald plaee. We will not ; attempt details. We asked Mr. Fitz-! gerald with his holdings listed at $o0,000, how much he expected to make on Ins investment this year, to which he promptly replied 10 per cent. It would do the farmers of other parts of the country good to visit the Meadows, where money and brains have combined with nature to show what can be done in old Rockingham. We feel more refreshed than if we had taken a trip to the mountains. Violations of Hygiene Laws. M.-iry K. Bryan, iu Uncle Remnt' MHKain- It. is not only in the rural districts that unsanitary conditions about tho house cause diseases and the deaths that are set down as the dispensation of Providence. In towns and cities there are homes which are sepulchers with their clean, shining fronts, their freshly watered lawns, blooming flower-beds, inviting veran das and cool charming rooms. But the backyards! There is the inside of the sepulcher. Heaps of decaying ru bbish, little stagn a n t cesspools re sult of poor drainage unclean sta bles, and hen-houses from which emanate odors, fraught with germs of disease. In many homes of cul tured persons where the laws of hygiene are known, there is a strange disregard of these, a carelessness in the treatment of left-over food and of milk and butter those prime ab sorbers of impurities; a neglect in t he removal of rubbish and garbage and in the airing of beds and bed-clothing. Such neglect affects not only the one househould, but those adja cent, the winds hastening to carry the poison afar. An Example. Charlotte Ohwerver. The curse of politics is that it de stroys the intellectual honesty of men or often, when it does not do this, represses honest, expression of opin ion. Suggestive of this thought is this editoriel paragraph from the Greensboro Record of Thursday: "Here is the opinion of Hon. W. Y. Bynum, of (jreennboro. a life-long H? pnhlican, on the sj-eeh of Mr. Itryau de livered yesterday: 'It is one of the great est speeches I ever read clear and force ful and a genuine key-note speech. I might talk an hour and say no more. The amusing thing about this is thathis party asBOciates will not criticise him, for they cannot do it. They know he is honest, and thoroughly competent to judge, and means what he Hays." In this there is a lesxon to men of all parties. The gentleman quoted we use the word advisedly will not be interrogated for ability, integrity or party fealty. The man on the other side makes a irreat speech, ho Judge Bynum out of his intellect ad judges, and he doesn't palter or hesi tate to sa3r so. It will be a. better day for our politics when all men, Democrats, Republicans, what not. reach that stage of intellectual and jiersonal freedom when they may think their own thoughts, "free from the doting scruples that fetter our free-born reason," and utter them as they think them. The Canning Year. This from a State exchange' needs no further comment or endorsement: It ia against the law of nature that the abundant yield of orchard, vineyard and held, such as the State is thic j-ear blessed with, could be distributed over a great length of time. The fruit must all come in as it ripens and the. market overflow with it, yet there need w no cause for waste. What cannot be con sumed now can le preserved for tlp time when the markets ure bare and when it will fciste as good as. if not bet ter, than in the season of the tree inl the vine. The art of canning has len reduced to simplicity ami perfection, and now while the market wagons roil iu with their abundant loads the household cannery should be working full time. The thrifty housewife can do much by her own endeavors. If she has a daugh ter to aid her, o much the better. The' fruit jar and the preserving can atx-.-om- parativelj inexpensive, and everv j.an-1 try in the State ought to be wellKtocked while the present opportunity i at hand.

I And This in Springfield, Illi nois, the Home of Abraham Lincoln Two Negroes Are Lynched, Many Wounded! and Property Destroyed by Mob Which Terrorizes the Capital City, Causing Many Negroes to Leave Town. Baltimore Sun. The rioting, lynching of negroes and destruction of property in i Springlield. ! antagonism III., show that racial in the United States is not bounded by sectional and re ographical lines, lllionois is a Re publican state, Georgia is a Denav cratic state. Less than a year ago Atlanta was the scene of rioting. Negroes were lynched after a series of crimes against women which stir red the people of that Southern city to their nrofoundest depths. But the sobr second thought of Atlanta prevailed, lne conservative and law abiding South condemned the excesses of mob rule, and the mob was soon brought under control. The provocation was great, but enlightened public opinion in the .South was no less outspoken iu de nouncing lawlessness in Atlanta than was public opinion in other parts of the United States. It is essential to the proper solu tion to t he race problem in t his coun try that Americans should divest, themselves of sectional and political prejudices when there are manifesta tions of racial antipathy and out breaks of mob violence. Since last Friday evening the capital of Illinois has been the scene of mob violence on a scale greater than that which Atlanta witnessed two years ago. A negro committed an atrocious crime iu Springlield. The result was an upheaval two negroes have been lynched in retaliation one of them a man more than 80 years old, who, according: to the dispatches, had been guilty of no offense. A mob of 5,000 men established a reign of terror in Springfield. The torch was applied freely in the negro quar ter. Lawlessness continued after the Governor of Illinois had taken meas ures to restore order by filling the city with State militiamen. Southern white men who take the law into their own hands do not go to the extremes which have charac terized the outbreak in Illinois. They do not, except in the case of Atlanta, wreak vengeance in discriminately upon the guilty and the innocent black. They do not re sort to incendiarism. They do not terrorize the city for 48 hours and degenerate into a pilaging, destroy ing mob. They a;t outside of the !aw, it is true. But they go about their law-breaking systematically and iu the spirit of men who are de fending their homes from the worst type of criminal. They do not lynch an octogenarian negro, as the mob lid in Springfield, merely from the love of killing the blood lust. Hereafter let the virtuous Northern journalists who so dearly love to lec ture the Southern people about the wickedness of lynch law, reserve their homilies for application at home. The Springfield outbreak demon strates that politics and sectional ism have no bearing on popular law lessness in such cuses as this. .'10 liit.VH' Triitl f 1.00 l the offcr ou l'in, ill-. llnlievH Jackalte, WVak Hack, Lame Hack, KlK'iiinatii jmitiH.
