Thanksgiving.
Whether We Had Turkey for
Dinner or Not We Have
Much to be Thankful For
The Poorest Among Us Are
Rich if They Only Knew it.
I'armville ( Va.) Herald.
Another day designated by the
President as one of thanksgiving has
come und gone. Many of us had
turkey, and gathered with us at the
ta!!e were those who brighten home
life and give charm to our earthly
existence. Hearthstones were .warm,
and hearts beat with exhilarating
hope. In this particular section of a
common country we have enjoyed a
season of rare beauty, gladdened by
well-nigh unbroken sunshine mid
crowned with t lie blessings of abund
ant harvest. Our flag went down in
a fierce political struggle, civic hopes
were crushed, the interests of the
many were sacrificed in t he interests
of the few, and yet out, of battle peace
has been horn and with courage and
good cheer we are facing the future
with manly hearts and without, fear.
Hut it may be tint you didn't have
turkey for dinner on yesterday, and
then, were vacant chairs sit the
family table, and actual want in
some homes. Hut was there no one
among us who did not have much
for which to be grateful? Was
your pulse-beat strong and regular?
Could you look into the faces of your
friends? Could you recognize the
glory of (Hod in the heavens? Could
you rest at night and labor during
the day? Can you read and have a
Hible in your home? Do 3-011 not en
joy the privilege of prayers? and can
you nor, enjoy t lie spirit of forgive
ness? Can you not give the helping
hand to a fallen brother? sav or siiiir
somet hing of cheer to sad hearts?
Think 011 these things, and if you
were not thankful on yesterday be so
to-day, and on to-morrow, through
life, and at last enter heaven with a
shout of triumph. The poorest among
us are rich if we only know it.

More Unjust Criticism.
Charlotte News.
Some days ago the News gave
considerable attention to what it
deemed an unfair and unwarranted
arraignment of the South by the
Xew York Tribune, the incident call
ing forth the abuse of the Tribune
being the murder of E. W. Carmaek.
The unfairness and prejudice inspir
ing the Tribune's attacks is eveji
more apparent in the spirit behind
the following, taken from the New
York Evening Post:
"Let no one make the mistake of
t hinking that ly inch law in the South
applies only to the negro. You must
not disagree with the existing order
of things, for if you do, your position
is in danger, particularly if you hap
pen to be a college professor. If you
are too personal iu your criticisms,
why the revolver will be your fate
and your executioner will quite as
often be a member of one of the
oldest families, as a poaching night
rider. The whole South must come
to the realization of the injury such
crimes do to its good name, for its
progressive minority is already
awake to the facts.
"No one unfamiliar with the South
can fully realize the ramifications of
this terrorism of public sentiment.
Men who are moved to disagree are
either compelled to suppress their
views, or utter them and then surfer
the consequences."
Having already expressed our
views on the injustice of such com
ment as this we desire here only to
give the opinion of a contemporary,
the Augusta Chronicle, which we
believe is expressive of that view
held throughout the South. In speak
ing of the Evening Post's attack on
the South, the Chronicle truthfully
says:
"Such misrepresentation and abuse
should have no place in respectable
journalism. Its influence is miser
able and petty and calculated to fos
ter misunderstanding and ill feeling
between the North and South that
has no place in this daT and era.
"The murder of Seuator Carmaek
has shocked and hurt the South in
expressibly, and there has been no
lack of condemnation and horror at
it in this section. Had such a crimo
occurred in New York, Illinois or
Maine, no hue and cry would have
leen raised against an entire section.
The murderer and his allies would
have received the blame. Hut hap
pening, as it did in Tennessee, the
whole South is arraigned and exco
riated. "Hut perhaps theSouth should not
concern herself with Northern criti
cisms and shallow misrepresentation
of prejudiced minds. She stands as
one family, suffering acutely the sor
rows and disgraces which her black
sheep bring."

The old fashioned way of dosing a weak
stomach, or stimulating the Heart or Kid
neys is all wrong. Dr. Shoop first pointed out
this error. Thia is why his prescription
Dr. Snoop's Restorative is directed entirely
to the cause of these ailments the weak
inside or controlling nerves. It isn't so
difficult, says Dr. Shoop, to strengthen a
weak Stomach. Heart, or Kidneys, if one
goes at it correctly. Each inside organ has
its controlling or "inside nerve. When these
nerves fail, then those organs must surely
fult?r. These vital truths are leading drug
gists everywhere to dispense and recommend
Dr. Snoop's Restorative. Test it a few days,

Hook Worms and Some Other
Things.
Charlotte News, Nov. 2G.
Mr. A. B. Strouach, of Raleigh, takes
a fall out of Dr. Stiles and his Coun
try Life Commission, or whatever it
is. Dr. Stiles made some remaks
about the hook worm and the blood
of the children of the South, which
stirred up some talk. Mr. Stronach,
in the Raleigh Times referring to the
matter, says:
"Anything and everything that
tendff to the betterment of our peo
ple, political, social, moral, educa
tional or sanitary, should be encour
aged. We are a part of this gov
ernment and it's time we were getting
our share, if of nothing else but
'advice.' Our products bear the great
burden of taxation, not to mention
the money from our stolen cotton
lving idle in the United States treas
ury and the money, which should be
refunded, of which we were robbed by
the United States revenue cotton tax
$12 to $14 per bale in this era
(said to be) of peace and good-will.
Why not return us our stolen money,
either for good roads as per Congress
man Brownlow, of Tennessee, or for
education? If the United States gov
ernment will give us back the pro
ceeds of these two robberies we'll not
need any commissions to look after
us. It is the alarmist faddist tend
ency of specialists of which we object.
There ia more good and more hum
bug in medicine than of anything I
know. Amongst other things I de
voted a year of my life to the study
of medicine and have to some extent
kept in touch since. I do not know
how long since Dr. Stiles discovered
the hook-worm, whose extermination
is to be the salvation of the South,
but I was told by a Confederate vet
eran, a prominent citizen of "he
county, that his son, a physician, had
been treating for this disease five
years and as I remember his first
IVitient was a farmer, well to do, of
full habit and a hearty feeder, n hen ,
I was a boy he would have been dosed
with Fahnstock's Vermifuge, and it ;
would have been good-bye Mr. Hook (
or any other worm." !
A great deal too much has been
said about Dr. Stiles' diagnosis, and
the little flare up it caused is enough
to convince the outside world that
we are intolerant and conceited. The
best thing we can do is to drop the
subject and be ashamed of ourselves
for a season. Thomas Y'e Charity
and Children.
A Personal Appeal.

The Greatest Obligation of All.
Charlotte Observer.
While the blessings which we as a
people have received this year have
been rich and manifold, that for
which many if not the majority of us
should be chiefly thankful today and
at all times is that high heaven has
not dealt with us according to our
deserts. When one reflects upon the
many sins committed, the many
wrongs done, the little good accom
plished, the manj' opportunities for
service to (3od and humanity which
have been allowed to pass unim
proved; in a word how long the debit
and how short the credit account
kept with us by the (Jreat Book-Keeper,
the majority of. us. must stand
amazed at God's patience and long
suffering. It is not for what He has done for
us but for what He has not done to
us that we owe most thanks.
We thank Him as sve should for life
and health; for the increase which the
earth has yielded; for exemption from
the "pestilence that walketh by dark
ness and the destruction that wnsteth
at noonday," but before that we
should thank Him for not having
sent us to hell where, in the course of
strict justice, we belong.

A New Poem by Edwin Markham.
Kdwin Markham, who made a
world-wide reputation .1 few years
ago with his poem, "The Man With
the Hoe," has written for the Christ
mas Woman's Home Companion a
poem that is considered to be even
greater than "The Man With the
Hoe." Many who have read Mark
ham's new poem, "Before the Gospels
Were," consider it the greatest verse
of recent years. "Before the Gospels
WTere" tells, with wonderful poetic
imagination, thestory of the gather
ing together of the materials for the
gospels by Christ's disciples nfter His
ascension. Never before has there
been presented so illuminating a pic
ture of what Christ's life meant to His
disciples and why it was so accurate
ly reflected in their gospels.
The opening verse of the poem is:
Long noons and evenings efter He was gone,
Mary the Mother, Matthew, Luke und John,
And all those who loved Him to the last.
Went over U the marvel of the past
Vent over all the old familiar ways
With tender talk of dear remembered days.
They walked the road that never gave Him
rest
Past Jordan's ford, past Kedrou's bridge.
I'p Olivet, up Hermon's ridge.
To that last road, the one they loved the
best.
The climax of the poem is reached in
the last verse, which sums up all the
thoughts that have been expressed in
the preceding lins:
So huddling often by the chimney blaze.
Or going down the old remembered ways
On many a lingering walk. ,
They held their wonder-talk.
Minding each other of some sacred spot.
Minding each other of a word forgot;
So gathering up till all the whiKjtereil words
Went to the four winds like a flight of birds!
Guilty of Counterfeiting.
Passing counterfeit, money is nti worse than
substituting some unknown worthless reme
dy for Foley's Honey and Tar. tlie ureat

obstinate coughs and heals the lungs. Sold

The American Criminal Law Should
Be Recast.
That the American criminal law
has serious defects, and that if the
American people wish , to rule they
must "thoroughly, rationally aud
honestly recast the criminal law,"
were asserted by Attorney General
C. J. Bonaparte, in an address be
fore the National Municipal league
at Pittsburg a few days ago. He
declared that the gravest and least
excusable deficiency of the criminal
law is found in its endless delavs.
and added that if the people demand
prompt and unquestioning obedience
to the people's laws, and give to this
demand an ample sanction in swift,
sure and grievous retribution for all
rebellious to those laws, the people's
rule will be real.
"Why need there lie a foretaste of
eternity, he asked, "between arrest
and indictment: another between
indictment and trial, and vet
another between trial and actual
punishment?" This he answered by
declaring that it is partly "because
the ben h and professional opinion
among the bar tolerate all kinds of
dilatory, frivolous and often ridicu-
ous proceedings on the part of
unscrupulous' counsel, intended to
cheat justice of her plain due; partly
because our lawmakers ahord almost 1
infinite facilities for review of judicial
action to the criminal, although
being stingy in allowing tnem to the.
government; but mainly liecause our
laws show little sense of the value to
society of a speed v administration
of justice."

observation of Mr
F MV lr,T. i .

admit that the criticism is not too
severe; that the indictment is correct.
Jn ihe zeal of thelaw-makers-usuallv
lawyers to give defendants in crim
inal cases all their rights; in the zeal
of the courts lawyers, of course,
who haven't forgotten their own ex
perience at the bar to allow counsel-all
opportunity, attorneys have
come to consider it no impropriety
to resort to almost any expedient in
behalf of a client; and as a result the
administration of the criminal law is
largely a farce. Mr. Bonaparte is
right when he says the people should
make demand. The conditions com
plained of will never be remedied
until euch a sentiment is created
among the people that the lawyers
will be afraiii to resist it. The reform
will never come through the lawyers.

Alex. J. Feild.
Named as Private Secretary by
Governor-Elect Kitchin-An-nouncement
Received With
Satisfaction and Approval
Throughout the State.
News aud Observer.
The private secretary to Governor
W. W. Kitchin, who goes into otlice
in .January, will le Mr. Alex .1. Feild,
of this city.
That he would appoint Mr. Feild
to that position was given out by
Governor-elect Kitchin while he was
in the city yesterday. It i an
appointment that will In? greeted
with satisfaction by the Democracy
throughout the State, for Mr. Feild
is a working Democrat , always ready
to do servii e for his party. He has
many friends in Nortli Carolina and
these will hear of his appointment
with peculiar satisfaction.
Mr. Feild is a member of the bar of
Raleigh, and in the-past four cam
paigns lie has been the secretary of
the State Democratic Executive Com
mittee. Holding this position he has
been in close touch with the leading
men of the State, and he will go to
his new duties splendidly qualified
and equipped to carry these on suc
cessfully. Courteous, polite and ever
ready to serve he will prove a wise
choice as private secretary. A man
....
of experience, learning iiitd legal abil
ity his services will be of value to the
new Governor. Hi friends in Raleigh
who last night heard of the appoint
ment expressed warm approval of
the selection of Mr. Feild by Governor-elect
Kitchin.
Mr. Feild is a native of Warren, a
son of the late Dr. George Feild, who
came to North Carolina from Vir
ginia. He was born in 1S04 and re
ceived his early education in the
schools of Warren county, going
afterwards to Horner's at Oxford,
and graduating at the University of
North Carolina in 1885. In 1888 he
was admitted to the practice of law,
and began his career as a lawj'er at
Oxford . Eleven years ago he removed
to Raleigh where he has since prac
ticed law. In 1S90 Miss Louie Hughes,
of Oxford, became his wife, and two
children, both boys, have been born
to them.
Mr. Feild and Governor-elect Kitch
in have been friends for many years.
Living in Oxford, Mr.N Feild was in
the same Senatorial District with Mr.
Kitchin, who in the early nineties was
the Democratic nominee for Senator.
In the campaign at that time Mr.
Feild gave a warm support to Mr.
Kitchin, and in the years since then
he has ever been a warm friend of the
Governor-elect.
The position of private secretary is
a. most important one in the State
Government, and those who know
Mr. Feild are confident that he will
fully measure up to the duties. The
salary of the position is $2,000 a
year, the private secretary ling also
the military secretary of the Gover
nor, with the rank of Colonel, and so
it will be that hereafter it will no
longer be Mr. Feild but Col. Feild.

A Sensible Printer.
A New Orleans paper tells of a printer
who, when his fellow-workmen went
out to drink beer during working
hours, put in the bank the exact
amount which he would have spent
if he had gone out to drink with
them. He kept to his resolution for
five years. He then examined his
bank account and found that he had
on deposit $72.H. In the five
years he had not lost a day from ill
health.
Four or five of his fellow-workmen
had, in the meantime, become drunk
ards, were worthless as workmen,
and were discharged. The water
drinker bought a printing olfice on
enlarging his business, and in twenty
years from the time he began to
put by his money was worth one
hundred thousand dollars.
