Smith againxt the railroad for damages for the death of her busband, which occurred while lie was working on the yard here last March, was the only case tried by the court last week.

This train will pass Monioe late in the uflernoou and arrive at Wil mington at midnight, and return ing will leave Wilmington at 4:20 in the morning, pass Monroe for Charlotte at about 11 o'clock.

Koduian says it is the best all rouud lot of cotton ever sold iu Waxhaw. The price paid was 11:15. This cotton was made and selected by the Misses Itoss in 1905. Tbe yarn that will be made from it is to go to Philadelphia and Khode Island at a fancy price. Waxhaw Enterprise. Tbe police took In charge Jeff Dargan, who has a pretty long chain gang record, last week. Jeff made the mistake of having his liquor shipped by express from Atlanta, when the regular way of such of the tiger artists as have the nerve to try to operate, is to go in person to Wadesboro for supplies and smuggle it in. At bis house Jeff had fitted up a regular little bar to distribute his gallon, when the police broke np his play house. The rouLty cowiuUiouer have asked tbe legislature to pais an art Uoiug thein to levy a bridge Ux uot wore than five ceuta on the hundred and fifteen cents on the poll, for tbe purpose of building and keeping in repair the bridge of the county. Tbe ordinary rev euuesare uot aufheieut for this aud the work that tbe couiniuwiouers have been compelled to do by rea son of the deniaud for more bridgi s aud tbe replacing so many that were washed awsy, baa made a de ficit from year to year that had to be covered with loud iuea. Tbe commissioners have beeu faring this problem for several years, and the preseut board thought it better to provide for the matter than to go on aud allow more bonds to be issued. The matter of the liquor situa tion at Wadesboro is before the committee of tbe legislature at Hal eigb today. More that a majority of the qualified white voters of An son have signed petitions asking for the removal of tbe evil from Wadesboro. Mr. Link hart, the representative from Anson, is sup posed to favor an elect iou on the subject, while Mr. Kedwiue's bill takes the liquor out without a vote. Those who have gone to present the cause as it apiears to this coun ty are Messrs. II. li. Adams, W. H. 1'hifer, ). C. Curlce, F. B. Ash- craft, J. E. Heudersou and Kev. Messrs. Aberuethy aud Atkinson. A bill will be introduced in the legislature creating a recorder's court in this county. The court will have a judge with jurisdiction to try all misdemeanors committed anywhere in the cotiuty, and the magistrates outside of Monroe township, iu w hich township there will be no magistrates, will make all their warrauts returnable before the recorder, who will prom-d to dispose of the case. The object is to save the enormous jail fees and other costs entailed uxn the couu- ty by carrying so many frivilotis cases to the superior court. The follow ing pledges have been made iu resiMinse to President Broom's request tbut some good citizens iu each school district pledge to raise five dollars for the cottou association: 8. M. Parker for Carmel, II. P. Meigs for Win gate, T. J. Gordon for Tiudal, W. A. Kubanks for Trinity and J. . Lathan for Prospect. All these districts have already paid their proportion before, but will pay this in additiou. Mr. Broom says the proposition is still oiwju. a loafer, but he is worth as little to himself as to society. No wan, whether young or old, who has any energy ran lit e an idle life.

Talking With The People. i at Marshvtik isau old couple who have spent all ' I K'vr" away the rich years of youth in working and planning to lay deep the fouud tioiofa home, w beret bey reared their cbildreu, who iu turn started out he old, old jouruey for thrru wives, following it as eagerly, as freely aud happily as if it bail ne'er been trod before by myriad feet. The old couple are left behiud, but instead of having lost iuterent intheir home they love it ten times more dearly, for is it not the nest in which the young were hatched, in whose walls and ground tbe common place objects are associ ated with ten thousand precious nietuoriefcf Here is a tree planted by the first born, there is an ob ject uiade sacred by the bauds of tbe one bo went to heaveu in tbe sweet days of youth, so long, so long ago. Why should the old couple be torn away from tbe things whose roots are iu their hearts merely for the Nike of a warmer room, a fancy carpet aud finer fur niture. Iu kindness tbe sons aud daughters think they art, but they are mistaken. Look around aud see how often the old plants die when they are thus uprooted. A dismantled old homestead is al ways a sad object, but when the tired, old hands that built it iu their youth are living elsewhere, it is the saddest sight iu the world. Mr. J. G. Barton, the well- known brick maxou, w ho is 7( aud cau vet go to the top of a chim ney on the inside and ajieak mighty sharp to the young fellows who are loitering behiud, was iu the Journal oflice last week. He had a paer, old aud faded, that he prizes more highly than most folks do a land deed. It was his dis charge as a paroled prisoner at ApiHUuattox, aud ou t lie back of it was this munificent endorse ment : "Issue one day's rat ions." That would sound like a mighty little bit as thing go now, but when Mr. Barton and his comrades started to walk home it seemed good to them. . If a boy who went to school for any length of time to Professor O. U Haiuiltou were to become presi dent of the I'uited States iu his old age, he would quote Prof. Hamilton in his messages to congress as the words of the wiscast man he ever knew. Not that this little man with sandy whiskers thinks he is wise or that he wants any body else to thiuk so, but there is some way he gets hold of his boys that they never forget him nor his instruction.

Father had a very large family and made all his support from the farm, and while trying to keep the older children in school, he was expressing fear that he wouldn't be able to hold out all along down the line. 'Vby,Sqiiire,' said Professor Hamilton, '1 have always noticed that when a man educates a large family of boys aud girls he somehow gets rich w hile he is doing it.' And when father got through with his job of nearly a dozen he was a long ways better oft' in money than when he started." wii!S,a For Ladies Only.

Hays he : "I do nut doubt that wheu the next genera tion learus to keep a clean mouth, and therefore a healthy body, aud mothers begin with their childien at the proper time, we shall 1' able to live and be useful to our fellows up to the age of ninety or a hundred, instead of sixty or seventy. Now, I did not begin iu time, yet I think I shall go a hun dred. I am now over eight y." If a clean mouth aud a sweet spirit cannot carry a man to a hundred, what could 1 "I have just been to see my pa rents." said a gentleman who lives iu another state, but who is a native of this couuty. "They are now in good health, surrounded by all the well-earned coinfotrs of a life of thrift. But though they have reared eleven children, they have not one with them. Of course they feel lonely a good deal of the time and their happiest moments are when some of the grandchildren come to spend a while with them. Now the ques tion that is troubling their minds is had they not lietter break up house keeping and accept some of the urgent invitations of their chil dren to make their home with them. I advised jtheni not to do this, for my observation along this liue has been extensive, and in all my exporience I have not known a movement of this kind to turn out well." There is a deep truth iu the statement above. Did you ever notice," said the same one, "that when one of an old couple who have lived a great many years together dies, the other, though apparently well enough, does not live long t" Extremely old peo- pie lost their wives or husbands in their younger years or middle life And old people who break np and go to live with the children be cause they are lonesome at home, often show the same effect. They either do uot live long or their laM days are not as happy as they should be. It is the result of breaking up old associations, and trying to give a new interest in life to people who have long since formed their habits, not only of living, but of thinking and feeling, The man who retires to "take it easy" has bis roughest time ahead of him. Men and wo.nen who have any soul cannot live without an interest in life.

The fact that so many sets of Stoddard's lectures were sold in Monroe during the past three weeks goes to prove tbut the peo ple of this town are not behind those of larger cities in their ap preciation of good literature. Those who have received their books have been more than satis fied wiih them, aud have recom mended them to their friends and neighbors, luis lias beeu a rare opportuuity for our people, and will be of lasting benelit to the families who have purchased these hooks, and to the town itself, for it caunot rise any higher than its best citizens ; and these liooks fur nisli the very best in history, bi ography, art, travel and literature, in such an entertaining form that they attract aud hold the atten tion of the young as well as older people, and are instructive to a The sale of these valuable books will cease when the agent leaves town, as the books are never wild at any other time.

It was with a keen sense of pleas ure that I opened my set of "Stod dard's Lectures," lately received, aud dived at ouce into tbe volume on England and Scotland. The style is so entertaining, the pic tures so accurate and beautiful, that I read on aud on till the book was well nigh finished before it oc curred to me to examine the titles of tbe other volumes. I can iiu agiue no better court-e of reading to take preparatory to a trip abroad; and to those who have traveled these books will bring back most vividly the delightful days spent in other lands. Then there will always be a uumber of stay at homes: some from choice, some from necessity. To them this work will give all the pleasures of travel without its discomforts or disappointments or dangers. In deed, there are few so dull that they would not find much enter tamment in this brilliant, compre hensive description of the wonder ful world in which we live. Mtw. Fka.nk Armhkld.
