The Thank-You Habit.
We nro sometimes Immiliatod
tli fit wo liavo bIiowd bo littlo appre

are often amazed that others think
ro little of our attempts to serve
them. Wo are often amazed toeeo
how much some will allow us, and
other people too, do for Miotn with
out a word of thanks. SometiuiGe
this is duo to a luck of appreciation,
sometimes to thoughtlessness and
sometimes to pure neglect. Tho
thank you habit is a good ono to
acmiire.
We need to get into tho way of
alwajB thanking tluo who serve us
even though tho servico they rend

may bo a greater service in their
eyes than in ours, they may have
taken great pains, and they may bo

We are not advocating flattory, and
we liavo no atienco with gush, but
wo do think those who serve us
should be thanked. And tho more
humble and lowly tho ono is who
serves the more readily should they
bo thanked. Vet our observation

less about such things are the very

those whoso faces would light up
with a smile ot gratification if we
should beetow a hearty thauk-you
upon them never receive it. It will
be good for us and for those who

will not likely neglect it when you

The Country Homes Are Improving-.
Ouo of tho best signs in connec
tion with the home life of our pco
plo ia tho improvement which is so
rtmrked in the surroundings and fur
nishings ot the average homo in the
country. We have closely observed
this for tho past ten years and this
improvement is gratifying, l.are
floors aro giving place to carpets and
matting : silent walls are being made
to speak eternal uieesagos from ap
propriate pictures, and pianos and
orgaus aro on every hand to cheer
and gladden and entertain. And
whenever there is a gathering of the
yonng people in the country home
the sweet songs ot Zion are sung
with a beauty and richness that is
wonderful. There is very little of
the light and frivolous in their mu
sic. Ana trotn these homos are
coming men and women who are
loaders in our churches and impor
tant factois in the social life of tho
ountry.
This botteruiont of the homes
bears better interest on the invest
ment than stocks and bonds or cat
tle and lands. It makes home more
attractive givos it stronger holding
qualities and a placo that tho boys
and girls are rot anxious to leave.

Journal, June 8, 1!01) is thorough
ly impressed with tho belief that
heredity plays an extremely import
ant part to determining the mental
capacity of our school childreu. Of
this number, 885 showed more or
less mental deficiency ; 471 were
born ot drinking parents ; 221 were
classed as due to heredity and 153
could give no satisfactory informa
tion, lie was ablo to trace the fam
ily histories of 463 children throngh
three generations, and of these, 313
had drinking fathers and 51 drinK
ing mothers. Of these children, 76
per cent suffered from some ecu
rosis or organic disease. In 51 fam
ilies having 231 children with total
abstinence antecedents, only 3 per
cent, of children were dull and only
IS per cent suffering from neurosis.

Worth and Lacy Must Foot the Bill.
State Treasurer Lacv has formally
notified ex Treasurer Worth of the
amouut due from him to tho (State
on account of tho shortage of Clerk
Martin, which amount is $ 10,000.114.
1 ho amount tbkuu by Martin was
$10,131 88, or 1371.84 in excess of
the amount Worth is called on to
mako good. This $374.84 must be
paid by Treasurer Lacy, as it was
taken by Martin after Worth's term
had expirod and Lacy hud gone into
oflico.
After Lacy came into ollico Mar
tin really took $1,249.52 from tho
penitentiary fund, but ho paid $i5lv
03 into the deaf and dumb fund to
make good tho money bo had stolen
from that and ho paid warrants with
$115.05 of it, leaving $374 84 which
ho put into his own pocket and which
Treasurer Lacy must now mako
good.
As Martin was only Btaring with
the now Treasurer, Lacy, for a fow
days until the new clerk could learn
his duties , Lacy had no bond and
so the $371.84 ia a clear loss. With
ex-Troastirer Worth, howevor, tho
case is di Heron t. He holds a $5,000
bond from Martin, given in a surety
company, for each if tho four years
he was in tho othce. It is under
stood that these bonds are good and
the surety company will pay the
$10,000.04. Mr. Worth will lose
nothing. Raleigh News Obeorver.

Oxford Child Dies of Rabies.
On the 23rd of Mav six vear old
Lucretia Chewing, of Oxford, N. C,
was bitten through the nose by a ptt
dog with which sho was playing.
tin the nUu ot June sho began to
exhibit symptoms of hydrophobia
and preparations were at once made
to take her to tho Pasteur Institute
at the City Hospital at Baltimore.
The lournev had hard v hcirun on
Saturday before tho littlo ono be
came wild with rabies.
She fought like ono pursued and
barked and bit at those around her.
I n the struggle she toro her mother's
flesh with her nails and also scratch
ed her attending physician, Dr. Wil
liams, of Oxford, as well as a stran
ger who carao to their assistance. If
the child s hngcra were moistened
with any of the salavia tho three
adulta are also in danger of being at
tacked with the malady. They are
still in the city awaiting develop
ments and am being carefully watch
ed by 1'rof. Keirlu and hie assist
ants at the Pasteur Institute.
At the station the ambulance was
in waiting, and the aflUcted, kicking
child was hurried to the hospital.
Etna was immediately put under
treatment, bnt without avail. Iler
tortures increased as the night ad
vanced, and after midnight she died
in terrible agony. Her mother is
frantic with grief.
This is probably the tint case of
its kind in the local Pasteur Insti
tute where a human ahMicted with
rabies attacked others so that they
also may be afflicted with hydro
phobia. Concord Times.

Disappearance at Ashevllle.
I) M. Williamson, a prosperous
farmer living about 12 miles from
here, disappeared in Abbeville last
Tuesday morning and nothing has
been hoard from bun since.
His brother, J. F. Williamson, is
here in Ashuville to investigate tho
matter, and tho polico and sheriffs
ollicors have been searching for him,
but ho has vanished completly.
The strangest part of it all is that
no reason can be assigned for hie
disappearance. The usual causes in
such cases have been gouo over, but
none of them fit this case. 1 he of
ficers have a theory, however, which
they will not divulge, by which they
hope to get the desired information.
1 he circtimstancos in tho case are
that Williamson came to Asheville
three weeks ago to load some walnut
logs ho had sold on a train near Em
ma. He spent Monday night in
Ashevillo. fSext morning at about
8 o'clock he left here. That was
thu last that was seen of hi in as far
as can be learned. At this poiut the
searchers have lost track of him.
The logs woro not loaded. They
are worth probably $100. In addi
tion to this ho had about two car
loads of logs on tho road ready to bo
shipped, but they have not been
moved. 1 be last night Williamson
was in Asheville ho spent the night
with a friend from Madison county.
lie had only $4 or $5 about his per
son, lie was 4ti years old ana was
reasonably strong and able to pro
tect himself. Tho authorities will
be glad to havo any information that
anyone can give about him.
I! rider the circumstances it is very
much feared that Williamson has
met with foul play, as no roason can
be imagined why he should wish to
leave homo. He was on the best of
terms with his family, his brother
says, and had no personal enemies
It ho had wished to leave homo there
Is every reason to believe he would
hiXve done bo alter having sold his
walnut logs, for which he could easi
ly have gotten several hundred dot
lars. Tho fact that be had so little
monoy on his person makes it strange
that he should meet with violence,
though hie relatives are forced to
this conclusion by the circumstances
of tho case. Asheville Citizen.

A Credit Check Swindle.
That there la no end to the ways
of imposing npon tho suffering Now
Vn.k public was illustrated by tho
failure of a small store recently
The newly appointed receiver was
surprised by having many women
coino to hisofhco with credit checks
Ihetio cheeks were for small
amounts, rangin from $1 to $10.
At lirsl the receiver cou Id n t under
stand it, but upon investigation ho
learned tho details ol a pretty system
of fleecing.
Tho firm, it soeins had made a
specialty of silk and cotton shirt
waists. Thefo were, with few ex
ceptions, shapeltxis, ill fitting gar
ments, and when the unfortunate
women shoppers got home with
their purchases and put them on
they woro disgusted to find that the
bargain salo waists were baggy and
pnekory and altogether so poorly
fashioned that it would bo next to
impossible to make thum fit even
by a complete ripping up and re
making. Such being tho conditions
tliev invariably took thn mmiln back
and demanded other waists or thoir
money. It was contrary to the
principles of tho lirm to refund
money, and as thoy seldom had
waists moro becoming either in stylo
or shapo than thu ones returned,
they wore driven to the extremity
of credit checks.
"We will oet in a new simply of
waints in a fow days," was tho suave
assurance, of thu manager and his
well trained assistants. "Your check
will bo good at any time, and when
wo replenish our stock you can
select a waist that suits you."
lut tho new stock never arrived.
and in spite of the good dollars re
ceived from deluded customers
without decreasing thoir capital of
waists, tho linn bocamo insolvent
and then fho women began to come
with cod it cheeks. Ho far tho re
ceiver has been uriablo to com
pensate them for their ls throticrb
tho swindle which, in its way, was
rather neat. New York Sun.
Tramps Forced to Aid Partners.
Now wheat is moving in Nebraska
in great quantities. 1'ox ears are in
groat demand. The cereal is being
threshed as rapidly as weather con
ditions will permit, and the grain is
unusually firm and largo.
ll.o greatest dilliculty is being
experienced in securing men to
handle the crop. While the wheat
ready for harvest and tho extra
ordinary rainfall of tho past few
days giving the weeds nil impetus
in tho cornfields, farmers are forced
to work night and day to keep ahead.
Jn many sections ot the county com
is being weeded by moonlight, and
wheatlields present tho satno scene
of activity in tho night as in the day.
lho movement of tramps across
Nebraska and Kansas iust at present
has ceased, bccuiiso many havo been
hauled from curs along the different
lines by farmers and trainmen and
impressed into servico. This is no
joke, as a largo crowd of tramps at
(Means, Neb , discovered yesteHay.
llnrty were rounded up by fanners
armed with pitidifolks at tho water
tank near that town just after Sab
bath meeting and marched into the
country. They were parcelled out
among the farmers and told they
would get $2 a day and food if they
worked their best, arid it they didn t
they would be taken to town and
confined in jail or on the rockpile
as vagrants. As a rule, this persua
sion was sufficient and the tramps
went to work with ranch vigor.

Cured by Faith.
Mr. L. I. MeFaddon, who had
been a sufferer of rheumatism for
ton weeks, not Iming able to go
about at all without crutches, went
to WacksburK last Kuiiday a week
ago and while there accidontly met
a faith euro preacher or divino
healor, who said that ho L id no busi
ness goinit ftbuiit on crutches that
ho could reitoro his activity in
twenty minutes if ho would allow
him to do so. Mr. McFadden had
no faith himself in such a euro, but
liu was willing fur tho faith doctor
to practice on him. The preacher
met him at a livery stable and going
through some motions with the right
hand, which ho had dipped into
some water, and rubbed it on the
other, aiikcd Mr. McFuddcn lo try
if no could work his foot and to his
surprise found lui could. Tho healer
continued his motions i f the hand,
when in a tew minutes Mr. Mc
Fadden could put his weight on his
font and linallv laid his crutches
aside and walked up town and back.
Mr. Mcl' uJ Jen is still limping some,
but his condition is much improved.
He was in this ollice Monday, feeling
in good spirits, but ho is doubtful
if tho euro will last, although the
healor anRnrcd him it would. lie
says a lady in lilueksburg who wss
seriously Hlllieted in both arms has
boon entirely relieved and that a
colored 111:111 who could only walk
with two sticks waa ablo to jump up
and even to run f.ftor tho healer had
worked on him for a few minutes.
When Mr. McFadden left Ulaeks
burg Monday the healer had about
lifty patients. Lie makes no charges,
but expects compensation and will
take any sum of money that may bo
given him.
Tho doctor will come to Kock
Hill aud try his power on sime of
our cripples.
We are no believer in faith cures,
but at the same time wo have per
feet faith in tho scincerity of Mr.
McFaddeu and for that reason we
publish this. Kock Hill Herald.

Mason and Dixon Line.
Tho monuments of tlioMnHon and
Dixon boundary lino Ixjtwocn Penn
sylvania and Maryland have PnfTer
od severely from the attacks of van
dals, and they will soon bo replaced
with cast-iron markers.
JUpid progress is now being made
on I he re location of the line. The
eastern portion wis originally mark
ed by tune monuments at ejuul dis
tances of a mile. Many of thcRo
stones have licen removed or de
stroyed. Tbe western portion, ow
ing lo thu great dilliculty at that
time in tho region traversed by tho
liue, was marked by woodeu pools,
cut on tho spot, and secured in placo
by mounds of earth or stono piled
around them. Tiicse posts havo dis
appeared, but aomo of the mounds
remain. Many of tliom havo been
destroyed by cultivation of tho
ground. It is believed, though,
thst eiioiii'h of them can bo recov
ered to enable the ro locution of tho
boundary with precision.
The Pennsylvania leginlature uns
appropriated 7,o0o to reset and re

Mother's
Friend
will do fur every woman what it did for th
Minnesota mother who writes the above let
ter. Not lo use it during pregnancy is a
mistake to be paid for in pain and (offering.
Mother's Friend equips the patient with a
strong body and clear intellect, which in
turn are imparted to the child. It relaxes
the muscles and allows them to expand. It
relieves morning sickness and nervousness.
It puts all the organs conccrtvJ in perfect
condition for the final hour, so that the actual
labor is short and practically painless. Dan
ger of rising or hard breasts is altogether
avoided, and recovery is merely a matter ol
a few days.
