DISCUSSED BT THE DIFFERENT in m is me we are uunuiug iur eternity. God is tbo architect, and we are the builders. We read of the temple of Solomon, that it was built of stone, made ready in the quarry so that neither hammer nor axe nor auy tool of iron was heard in tho house while it went up. ' s So it is that the great work of life building goes on silently each day wc live. "The Kingdom of God cometh not by observation." The divine spirit works in silence, changing men's hearts, transform ing lines, comforting sorrow, and washing scarlet souls white as sdow. The Lord is not in the Btorm, in the earthquake, in the lire, but in the spirit whisper, that breathes quietly through the soul. We are building a personal char acter for time and eternity, this goes out day and night quietly without sound or observation. There may be a great deal of noise all about us, but it is in silence that wo grow. From a thousand sources comes tho little blocks, that aro laid upon the walls, the lessons wc get from oth ers, tho influences friends exert upon us, the truths our reading puts into our minds, the impress iou other lines make upou us, the inspiratiou we receive from tho di viuespiritall of this works silently upon us without noise of hammer or axe. There is another important sug gestion we get from the temple ot Solomon. Deep down in the dark damp quarries the men work cutting hewing aud polishing the stones. They hang their little lamps on it II- .1 !.L . 1. ' T it;.. . L..:u! r ine wans, huh wuu uiuir uuiuinera and chisels they worked on, months and years passed, by and by there was a great dedication iu the city of Jerusalem then and there the work of the men done down in the damp quarries was seen in all its beauty. What a joy it must have been to them to think of their work in preparing the stones for this spleudid temple. This world is a quarry, we are toiling away in the darkness. Wo cannot see. what good is ever to come out of our lonely, painful obscure toil. Oh let us not be "Weary in well doing ior in aue season we snau reap u J . . . ! IP we faint not" some day our work will be done. "Wc are now prepar ing mntorlftl far thn Kins' fif Itiucs. The stones for the temple when cut in the quarry were rough and unfit for a place in the temple, there they were dressed, this re quired a great deal of cutting, ham mering and chiseling. Without this stern work on tho stones, uot one of them could have been used iu the temple. Wo are stones in the quarry as yet When we accepted Christ we were Cut from the rock of sin, but we were yet rough and unshapely, not fully fit for a place in Qod's great temple in heaven. Before we can take our place in the heavenly temple we must bo hewn and shaped. Tho hammer must do its work, breaking off the roughness, the chisel must be used, carvtug and polishing our lives into beauty. Every sinful thing, every fault in our character is a rough place in the stone that must be re moved, all the crooked lines must be Btraighteued. Our lives must be cut and hewn until they con form to the perfect standavd of divine truth. There is still another suggestion from this temple building. Every individual life has its quarry where uro shaped the blocks wnich are built into characters or which take form in acts. Schools are quarries, where, through years of patient study, the material for life is prepared, the minds is disciplined, habits aro formed, knowledge is gained and power is stored. Later in life the temple rises without the noise of hammer or axe. PASTORS OF LINCOLNTON. Homes are quarries where chil dren are -trained, where moral truth is lodged in the heart, where the elements of character are hewn out like fair stones, to appear in the life iu after years. Then there are the thought quarries back of what people see in every human life, meu must be silent thinkers before their words or deeds can gather great beauty or power. The words that are worth hearing come out of thought quarries whero they have been wrought iu struggle and anguish. Thinkers brood long in silence and then come forth with a message that holds us spell bound with an eluquence that charms us. So it is with us we look at a lino picture and our hearts are stirred by its wonderful beauty, or here is a book which charms, which shrills and inspires you. The author lived, struggled, toiled, suffered and wept, that he might write the words that now help you. liack or every good lilo lies a dark quarry where 'the thought was born aud shaped iuto form which makes it a blessing to the world. Here is a noble character, good ness seems natural to it, it seems easy for the man to be good, the secret is tho quarry, is back of the temple, each one's heart is the quarry out of which comes all that the person builds into his life, "as ho tbinketh in his heart so is he" everything that appears iu our lives comes out of our hearts. All of our acts are first thoughts. Tho artist's picture, the poet's poem, the singer's song, the architect's building's are thoughts before put iuto form. We need to guard our heart quarries with all diligence, since out of it are the issues of life and death. Tho thought builds the character. Good thoughts rear up a splendid temple before God and mau, had thoughts pile up a stained life, without beauty or honor... We should look well, therefore, to our heart quarry. T. J. Rogers. England Expensive Navy. In the mad rush of the leading nations for naval supremency there seems to be no idea of limit to the amount of money to be spent in the business of preparing for war. The following . figures , are taken from Popular Mechanics. The total estimated cost for the upkeep of the British navy and building of new ships for the year ending March," 1911, is a little more than 1103,000,000, which is about $22,000,000 more than for the year ending March 1910. Of tho above enormous figure, new construction is responsible for about 160,000,000, which is the largest amount on record. This provides for hulls, machinery, armor, and gun-mountings, but not guns, amunition, nor stores. The British estimate for the year is about $90,000,000 vmore than that of the United States navy. Needs Plenty of Water. Experiments . made at - the Missouri station show that drink ing water is needed in proportion to the milk yield. This is, a cow giving six gallons of milk a day needs about twice as much water as a cow giving three gallons a day. If tho water is too cold to be com fortablo if drunk tu large quau tities tho cow will not drink enough and as a result will drop consider ably in her milk yield. When Missouri Chief Josephine was giving about 100 pounds of milk each day last winter she drank daily about 31 gallons of water. Imagino how she would have suffered if that had been ice water. It was warmed, however, andJoscphiue did not' chill after drinking. II. E. MsNatt. SENATOR BORAH SPEAKS ON RACE PREJUDICE. North Plays Hypocrite Says Facts Ai to Ezlttiog Sentiment On Negro Question Should Be Made Plain. (By The Associated Press.) Washington, Feb. 10. That prejudice against the negro is just as intense in the north as in the south and that the north plays the hypocrite in its contentions to the contrary was boldly and bluntly asserted in the senate today by a Republican Senator. The speaker was Senator Borah, of Idaho. His declarations regard ing the negro was made at the close of a prolonged speech in opposition to the Sutherland amendment to the senate resolution providing for the election of senators by popular vote. That amendment would have tho effect of giving Congress control of senatorial elections. Tho Idaho senator's pronounce ment on the race question was made in response to the recent as sertion of Senator Hoot that with out the Sutherland provision the resolution would deprive the south ern negroes of federal protection in the exercise of the franchise. Mr. Borah dissented from the New York senator's view and in doing so used language which elicited congratulations from many sena tors. Notwithstanding Mr. -Borah's notice that he would &sk the sen ate to sit today uutil a vote could bo reached on the elections resolu tion, the proceedings on that measure were confined to his own discussion of it. He succeeded however in getting a concession that the resolution should be taken ui) tomorrow immediately after the disposition of tho routine busi ness. The postponement was eranted to accomodate a number of senators who still desire to speak on the subject. Mr. Borah contended that as the resolution stands now it gives the state legislature control of senator ial elections. Congress still would have the right to interfere in pro tection of any citizen whose right of franchise had been interfered with. The Idaho senator expressed deep regret that the race question had been brought into the contro versy, and asserted that its intro duction was intended only to im peril the resolution. "I wonder how lone the north is going to play the hypocrite and the moral coward on this question," said Mr. Borah, and added that the south always had assumed more wisdom more tolerance in dealing with this problem than had been displayed elsewhere. He insisted that a call of the roll of the north ern states in which there is any appreciatable number of negro ;s would demonstrate that the north had not dealt more leniently with the negro than had other sections. "The northern states have ex hibited the same race prejudice that has been shown elsewhere," ho asserted. "In the north we burn the negro at the stake and there, as in other sections, we have our race wars." Wc push our negroes to tne outer cage oi tho industrial world. We exhibit the same prejudices, the samo weaknesses, the same intolerance that is apparent in the south land." Mr, Borah declared that if Con gross bad power under the exist ing provisions of the constitution giving congressional control over senatorial elections it should be exercised. "If that right exists the north has the greater obligation under it becauso it makes claim to it. We assert tho power, but we admit that we haven't had the moral conrage to exercise it" For him self he denied the existence of any such power, and said that he re sented such a position because of the position in which Congress was placed by it Concluding, he said: "Thar negro has been used as a political foot ball about as long as our sense of decency and his developing Intel licence will permit We should no longer mistreat him, but we should have the courage to inform him as to the real situation. It does not benefit him to make him the subject of our sophomorio rhetoric. The colored race has advanced to the point where we well may dispense with the peren nial distribution of soothing syrup and give them solid food in the way of facts. We should tell him the truth and conceal nothing. "The negro is beginning to real ize that the white man of the noith is of the samo race as the white man of the south, aud that in his blood is the virus of domin ion and power. He should know that while his slave chains have been broken the chains of indus try are being lorgea arouna mm and will continue to hold him un less he himself can break them. This badge was placed upon him by his Maker, and it can be re moved only by the negro himself, with the aid of those who have the courage to tell him the truth, which is that we have the power to guarantee to him the equal pro tection of the law and to protect him against discrimination. To attempt anything more would bo ruinous to the colored mau and demoralizing to the whole political body. He must work out the problem under the constitution. "When the exigencies of debate are over it will be found that no measure will be offered in the sen ate to protect any supposed right of the colored man anywhere. If those who are interested will turn to the constitution they will find there the ono universal rule of equality, the only rule to be ap plied to the negro, and the only rule under which we, can legislate. If applied it will be proven to be the eorect rule, tho juloorfdl of us. Grandmother At 31.

SOLD DY ALL DHUGGISTS T'M f"","rY': " CP ST worth RUSSIA WILL FORCE CHINA TO TERMS. Will Retort to the Sword If Necessary Violations of Treaty. Washington, Feb. 16. Notice of Russia's intentions regarding Chiua reached the State Depart ment today through the American embassy at St. Petersburg. It ap pears that the Russian govern ment, wearied ot what it regards as persistent disregard by China of her treaty obligations towards Russia, is about to bring pressure to bear to enforce her rights, even to the extent of a military demon stration in the province of Hi, the seat of the present trouble. The Russian government promises the American embassy to acquaint it with particulars of the indictment against China. ' ' The whole incident comes as a great surprise to tho diplomatic service in Washington, for al though it was known that sharp issues had arisen between Russia and China over conflicting claims of jurisdiction in Manchuria and u connection with commercial privileges in Mongolia, the situa tion was not regarded as critical, and it generally was believed that in yiew of the deplorable coudi tions existing in China as a result of the frightful f unine and the terrible ravages of the plague, Russia would generously defer passing her claims to the extreme at this time. That war will not result from the latest movement of the Rus sian government is the confident belief in diplomatic circles here, for it is generally understood that the Chinese are totally unprepar ed to meet such a foe as Russia at this juncture. So it is expected thsA China will anneal to the powers, including America, for fair play. What amount of sup port she will receive cannot safely bo foretold. It i8 pointed out here that our own government cannot act until it has examined the contentions on both sides, and before America could intervene in behalf of Chiua it must first make sure that that country was guilt less of such disregard of her treaty obligations as would warrant the Russian menace. Should it be found that there is ground for such action, it is en tirely possible that the State De partment must tender its good offices to avert war or tho working of great injustice upon China by suggesting a reference of the is sues between Russia and China to The Hague tribunal.

Merritt and E. O, Charlotte visitors MORGAN'S PUBLICITY TRUST. Alarmed at the growing inde pendence of certain magazines which have built up large circula tions during the last few years by their arraignment of the venali ties of Wall Street, J. Pierpont Morgan, acting for the aristocracy of money, has undertaken to con trol the various agencies through which criticism of high financiers secures its widest distribution. With a fund of many millions appropriated for tho purpose, he essays to carry out the ambitious suggestion of former Congressman Joseph R. Sibley, of Pennsylvania, who in a letter to John D. Arch bald, Vice President of the Stand ard Oil Company, alleged to have been stolen from that corporation's files and read by William Ran dolph Hearst during tho Presiden tial campaign of 1908, suggested that control of the principal news agencies of the country be ac quired so as to shut off the dis seminations of intelligence inimi cal to those whose revenues are largely contingent upon the unim paired confidence of the American people. Wall Street already con trols the Paper Trust, and this week strengthened its grip upon national publishes by gettiug a predominating influence in the largest periodical distributing agency in the United States, through which 200,000,000 copies of various publications are an nually placed with 60,000 differ ent news dealers, between the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards. The strategic advantage to the money trust of this last conquest may be inferred from the arbitrary efusal of this agency to deliver to its customers 350,000 copies of one of the popular magazines, which eeaUiiuo in its TVJiniftry iSSUC an attack on Standard Oil. Unable to get their publication in circula tion, the publishers have the un delivered copies, which represent practically an entire lost to them, now tied up in a storehouse in New York. Pursuant to tho elaborate "Ed ucational" campaign upon which it has embarked "the interests" within tho last six weeks have bought outright several of the most widely circulated of the popular magazines. In place of the phillipio on the abuse of cor poration privilege, we are in fu turo to have subtly written en dorsemeuts of those practices of Wall Street which have proved tho most vulnerable objects of at tack by its critics and have helped to discredit it the country over. A feature of each publication it controls will be a "financial de partment." -As part of the care fully outlined plans of the trust many of the magazines which are sponsored by "The Street" have already inaugurated this depart ment, in which investors are au thoritively advised to place their money in enterprises that are ap proved mediums for exploitation in Wall Street and warned against investments that do not lend themselves to its necessities. . Iu its cherished ambition to sup press honest criticism of its short comings act as censor of wnat is priuted, Wall Street must ulti mately fail. However firmly it may fasten its grip on the sources of information to which the public look for eulighteument and the uutrammeled expression of opinion it will never succeed iu blindfold ing the disertiniuuting reader, with its sophistries and soft soap ed metaphor. For every champ ion of popular opinion it succeeds in subsidizing there will come for ward a new one to voice the senti meut of those who regard injus tice, in whatever guise it may masquerade as meriting public condemnation. There will be a forum for the discussion of popu lar grievances as long as the world lasts. Wall Street might as well try to' check the ocean tides or at tempt to arrest the revolution of the solar bodies as try to harness the opinion of a free people and make it supplant to its needs.
