Bingleton Discover* a New Situ»
tion With Danger From
Street Beggars.
"For a long time,” said Mr. Blngle*
ton, “I have made it a custom to look
.'ar^’fully in either direction before
t iv^i-ping to look in at a show window,
Ioing this to avoid being taken by
sui prise by beggars. Now I have dis
covered another street situation in
wliich one must take like care.
“Walking along the street this mom*
Iiig I became conscious that one of
my shoestrings was untied and I
looked along for a convenient store
Ftep on which I could put my foot up;
;nid there I did put it up, and I was
busily engaged in tying the string,
orking away at it with no otlior
thought in the world, when—•
“ ‘Mister,' I heard a voice at my
ear, ‘can you give me five cents to get
n cup of coffee? I haven’t had—*
“And there he stood beside me,
close alongside, where he had me at a
disadvantage. He was within my
pnard, and I gave up, not because I
thought I ought to,, but because of my
inward appreciation of tbe work of a
man who evidently was always on the
job, ever alert and letting no chance
escape him.”

Good Losers.
F: : the Springfield Union.)
J'iiis not escaped notice that no
• , of fraud was heard from the Taft
supporters aftei the Illinois primary.
They were indeed, “slugged over the
topes.” but they took their medicine
like men. And the public, we believe,
admires the game loser, and has no use
for the man that squeals and criis
fraud when he is squarely defeated.
There is no wiser use that tho.se w ho
have great possessions can make of
them than wisely to put them into life
into character, day by day, while they
live. The time will come when it will
be regarded as a disgrace for a man to
leave vast accumuUtions behind him.

The
Thrice-AWeekEdition
Of The
NEW YORK WORLD
PRACTICALLY A DAILY AT THE PRICE
A WORLD
No other Newspaper in the World giv^ so
much at so low a price.
The great Presidential campaign will
soon begin and you will want the news
accurately ard promptly. The World
long since established a record for im
partiality, and anybody can afford its
Thrice-a vVeek edition, which comes
ever other day in the week, except Sun
day. It will be of particular value to
you now. The Thrice-a- Week Wor’d
also abounds in other strong features
serial stories, humor, markets, car
toons; in fact, everything that is to be
found in a first-class daily.
The Thrice-a-Week World’s regular
subscription price is only $1.00 per
year, and this pays for 156 pacers. We
offer this unequalled newspsper and
The MebaTie Leader together for one
year for $1,50. The regular subscrip
tion price of the two papers is $2..
, State Labels For Groceries
I Not 1 he least important of the recom
mend;, tions for the protection of the
* consumer made before Gov. Dix’sFood
Investigating Commission is the sug
gestion by a prominent retail grocer
{that the State should establish a
I system of grades ft>r grocer es and
I require every package or carton to bei r
I a label indicating the quality of its con-
! tents, with penalties for fraudulent
'■ labelling.
Only through legislation prescribing
standards of the kind can housekeepers
know exactly what they buy. As it is,
with the increasing practice of selling
groceries under fanciful descriptive
ames or brands which more or less
disguise the quality of the article,
consumers are exposed to a deception
not necessarily fraudulent but none the
less objectionable because of the spe-
ciou methods employed. If they want
goods of inferior grade they should at
least be enabled to buy them with a
distinct understanding of the fact. They
should be enabled to know the net
we^ight or bulk of the commodity in the
carton sr tin and its degree of purity.
- Such a system of grading and label
ling groceries would properly supple
ment pure-food legislation and establish
an effective cl eck on an insidious form
of underweight.—New York World

This is Doing Something.
The senate Committe on Commerce
has adopted three amendments offered
by Senator Simmons, adding in the
aggregate $800,000 for North Carolina
waterways to the river and harbor bill
as it passed the House.
$800,000 for North Carolina added to
House Bill.
Of these $300,000 is appropriated for
beginning the work on the harbor of
refuge at Cap»e Lookout. The total
cost of the project thus adopted .will
be $3,500,000.
Three hundred thousand dollars is
' he new 26-foot project for the
■ ajie Fear at and below Wilmington.
The other $200,000 is for the inland
waterway from Norfolk to Beaufort.
The r;ver and water bill, as it passed
the House, carried for North Carolina
waterways $655,000, so that the $00,000
added by Senator Simmons will give
North Carolina $1,455,000. In addition
to these items Senator Simmons ex
pects to «dd a number of surveys for
'•ther new projects as well as other
additional appropriatio.is.

Cotton Goods Exports
(Manchester Union.)
It is a matt er of peculiar gratifica
tion that as the years go by this coun
try is sending abroad more and more
of manufactured cotton gooda. This
means, of course, that instead of send
ing the raw cotton abroad to ^ manu
factured elsewhere, as is still to so large
an extent the case, the peopie of this
city country are gradually reaching a
position where the cotton will not only
be grown in America but will be man
ufactured in America. The gains in
manufactured cotton goods exported
during the past eight months have been
very gratifying. In February alone
such exports were valued at $3,200,795,
as compared with $1,845,893 in February
1911, and with $2,106,648 in January,
1911, For the eight months, period in
each year the exports were $20,264,591
in 1912, $15,059,745 in 1911 and $12,745,-
689 in 1910. Notwithstanding the
political agitation in China, trade with
that country was more than double
that of the previous year for the eight
months' period, and this is a fact which
does not appear to be capable of ex
planation on any other ground than
that of a growing sympathy with the
oeople of the United States.

The Legend of the Hands.
(From The Christian Herald.)
An old legened says that once three
young ladies disputed about their hands,
as to which were the most beautiful.
One of them dipped her hand in the
pure stream, another plucked berries
till her fingers were pink, and the third
gathered flowers whose fragrance clung
to her hands. An old haggard woman
passed by and asked for some gift, bat
all refused her. Another young woman,
plain, and with no claim to beauty of
hand, satisfied her need. The old
woman then said, “It is not the hand
that is washed in the brook, nor the
hand tinted with red, nor the hand gar
landed and perfumed with flowers that
is most beautiful, but the hand that
gives the poor.” As she spoke, her
wrinkles were gone, her staff was
thrown away, and she stood there an
angel from heaven. This is only a
legend; but its judgment is true. The
beautiful hands are those that minis
ter, in Christ’s name, to others.
It is said all the hotels in Baltimore
will be crowded during the democratic
national convention. Still, it must be
assumed that a good many of the pop-
ulistic elemenf will have had sufficient
reformation yet to enable them to
break away from their tendency to
camp in a wagon yard.-San Antonio
Express.
From the crushed flowers of glad-
less on the road of life, a sweet per
fume is wafted over to the present
hour; as marching armies often send
>ut from heaths] the fragrance of
trampled plants —Richter.

Dcgfish.
A fisbMman from Montauk Pofat
was telling his friends of catehlns a
huge dcgfish that had a moiit aboor
mal skull. The anglor operated on bJs
Dgly and worthless catch, and found
in the skull all that was left of a
onco strong rubber hand. Evidentlf
when that big dogfish was little bomw
anglor who had rigged up for cod of
other bolAom fish had caught the dog
around its gills and turned it l&ose,
expecting the tortured thing tr> die.
That rocalled the story of bow some
fishermen not so gentle atid bomane
as the niling angler treat tho poor
but pestiferous dogfishes when they
are caui^it. Generally there Is an i
empty ti«»er bottle handy, and tWs la
