Daring: Chickens Ride Like Tramps.
The Atlanta Journal of Monday
contains tlie fullowing :
"Pi-relied comfortably under a
Pullman cur that wae running at the
itc of !0 miles an hour bix Jsorth
Carolina chickens rotlo nioro than
o miles lust week, sleeping as
peHct'Iiilly as any tird ever eii'pr,
tnd that too, without the tear ot
falling into the hands of some dusky
hunter of fowls, but at last the
awakening came. When tho px-
ursion given by the Masons and the
Retail (iroeer's Association left
Wrightsvillo, N. C, a few.days ago,
in a special train, it was ioiiua
necessary to make fast time and in
consequence everything was pre
pared tor the run that was to bring
the party hack 1o Atlanta. The
train left the beach just about the
time that all chickens not given to
dissipation go to roost. The cars
that were used on tho trip went
from Atlanta, and while the ex-
cursionihts were enjoying them
selves during the time that they.
were on the outing, stood on a side
track undisturbed.
Evidently while the cars were
idle these fiiendly chickens of the
Tar Heel state took up their resi
dence on the trucks. Whether they
found themselves moving before
their chicken brains had time to
realize tho situation and were after
wards lulled to sleep, or whether
they liked tho sensation and made
the trip voluntarily, will never bo
known, but that they made it is a
matter of record. The train stopped
at an inspecting point more than
300 miles from where it started, and
it was then that the fowls were
found.
Fred J. Ladd, who was one of tho
committee of Masons in charge of
the trip, saw the chickens when the
train stopped and called the at
tention of others to them. "I will
take one of these and give it a good
home, he said as he lilted a chicken
from its dangerous but apparently
comfortable roost.
Several other persons on the train
agreed to do the same thing for
those left and they were quickly
disposed of. There have been many
nicer passengers on the beaboard
system, but that brood of chickens
is said to have broken all the re
cords."

Vacations Are Worth Money.
The statement that Americans
spend from $400,000,000 to $500,-
00(1,000 annually on account ot their
summer vacations, is probably not
wide of tho mark. It is interesting
in so tar as it is indicative of the va
cation or recreation idea. People
generally are coming to recognize
that there is a limit to phyr.ieal and
mental resistance, and tb&t, as Long
fellow 63 aptly put it, must "play
the part of an uuBtrung bow." The
man who drops the working nabit
and gets near to nature's heart in
relaxing, temporary exemption trorn
business stress and strain is the sen
sible man. Hoston Transcript.
It is said that the Seaboard Air
Line's passenger traffic has increased

Dr. Kil o and Robert Crawford FIfht.
A email fisticuff" ooenrred this
morning on the east-bound train bt
tween (Jibsonvillo and Burlington.
The ocenrronco waa between ltr
John 0. Kilgo, president ot Trinity
College, and Mr. Uobert U. Craw
ford, of Winston. Several blows
wero passed hut no serious damage
to either participant resultod. The
causes that led up to tho tight are
as follows : M r. Crawford is a son
of Rev. L. W. Crawford, of this city
and is president of tho Advocate
Publishing Company, publishers of
the TSorlh Carolina Christian Advo
cate, of which paper llev. L. W.
Crawford is the editor. Many of
our readers will remember that sev
eral months ago what was termod a
"harmony" mooting was hold in this
city in the othce ot Pro!. O. W. Carr.
At this meeting were present several
gontlcmonof the city and Ur. Kilgo.
The doctor mado tho gathering a
speech, in the course of which he
read a clipping from the North Car
olina Christian Advocate, which was
tlie closing paragraph of a compli
mentary article on Trinity C liege.
Tho paragraph referred to gave the
list of the executive committee of
the college and then stated that they
all lived in the bounds of tho North
Carolina Conference. Dr. Kilgo
read the closing part of this and then,
without naming the paper from
which it was clipped, stated that it
was a veiled attack on Trinity Col
lege. This mooting was reported
to several of the larger State papers
by tho same correspondent, and Mr.
II. I5. Crawford, after reading ono
of tho articles referred to, sat down
and wroto Dr. Kilgo a letter in which
he ui-ked the doctor if his speech had
been correctly reported by the paper
and if so what ho meant by it. The
doctor wrote him in reply that if ho
wanted to know if he said wjiat he
was reported to have said ho would
have to ask some one who was pros
cut at the meeting.
Ihis morning Dr. kilgo was a
passenger on tho east-bound train,
leaving hero about 8 o'clock. Mr.
K. 15. Crawford was also a passen
ger on the same train, on his way
to Granville county to join his wife
who is visiting there. Seeing Dr.
Kilgo on tho train, Mr. Crawford
engaged him in conversation, asking
him about the speech made in this
city. After some conversation he
told Dr. Kilgo that he thought that
he (the doctor) had not treated him
as a gentleman in his answer to his
(Crawford's) letter. Dr. Kilgo
thereupon replied to Mr. Crawford
that he (Crawford) was no gentle
man. According to the ruling of
the police court, this is "language
calculated to bring on a breach of
the peace, and in this case it brot
on the breach.
Dr. Kilgo and Mr. Crawford af
ter passing a number of blows, were
separated by friends. (ireensboro

"Sanctified Band" Expelled From
Various Places.
After being driven from place to
place, sometimes by force of arms
and at the cost of human life, a com
pany of men and women, common
ly known as the "Sanctified lnd,"
has arrived at Smithtield, in Isle of
Wight county, Va. Their first
public service, hold at a street cor
ner, was largely attended. Sadie
Collins, a woman whose name is
well known in several States, is the
recognized leader of the Sanctiti
cationists, whose strength is now
twelve women and nine men. The
band tell the natives that they have
come to wage a war against vice.
They say they preach "Christ the
banctihed and Holy.
JSot knowing the blighting in
fluence which has attended visita
tions at other points, citizens in
Smithfield have not yet shown pro
nounced hostility. They do not
know that church interests were
disintegrated at Montrose, N. C,
that wives left their husbands and
daughters forsook parents, all be
cause of "sanctilied teachings" and
became "sanctified women by em
bracing the faith. Then Joe Lynch
was a joiut leader of the band with
Sadie Collins.
It was because of these influences
that citizens of Chincoteague Island,
realizing the worth of domestic
purity, rose up and expelled the
band after several sensational inci
dents. Later the company sought
refuge in Chowan Kiver, on Mont
rose, where in a house boat they
battled with armed citizens from
the iliore. One sanctified woman
was shot to death. It has been the
band's custom to settle in towns re
o.ote from railroads and telegraph
wires. Suffolk, Va., Dispatch.
Mrs. Kruger, wife of former Presi
dent Kruger, of the South African
republic, died Saturday at Pretoria
of pneumonia, after an illness of
three days. She was 67 years old.
Mrs. Kruger's long separation from
her hueband, combined with the
death of her favorite daughter, Mrs.
Smith, last week, hsd completely
broken her spirits. Mr. Eloff and
many members of the Krnger family
were at her bedside when she passed
away.

Leaving home is to many a yonng

which it proves to be, depends large

ceived while at home, and tlie kind
of stuff he is made of. To the young
man of good parts, moral Btamiiin.
grit and common sense, nothing is
a greater developer in the right di
ruction than his getting away from
homo. Once out among strangers,
the thoughtful rare of loving par
onts is all gone, and he must now
rely upon himself. Of the comforts
thrust upon him hitherto by the
loved ones at homo, he is now de
prived. Circumstances now compel
niiii to think and provide for him
self. Brought intocompetition with
othors, he must now struggle to keep
his pluce in tho race of hlo, unassist
ed by friends. This, to the young
man of good parts, is tho school' of
experience which develops energy,
tact, self reliance, and. in a word,
makes ot him a manlv man. lint if
he is morally weak, vacillating, reck
less, indifferent, venturesome, with
little or no conscience, or lias in him
that peculiar selfishness which turns
good talents and ingonuity into pow
ers for evil, his leaving home soon
works his destruction. I he sollisli,
reckless young man on leaving home
soon finds himself in partnership
with the prince of darkness und on
the highway to ruin. How import
ant, thou, that our boys all receive
tho proper training in tho home so
essential to qualifying thorn to safe
ly take care of themselves after they
have passed the home leaving time!

Better Late Than Never.
It seems that at last the fact that
there may bo some valuo in our
swamp lands is beginning to le
recognized and that cliorts aro to be
made to get something out of them
for tho State, ltcmarking on this
the Haleigh News and Observer
says :
"ihe present administration is
being commended for the manner
in which it is trying to save to the
State the swamp liinds belonging to
tho' State Hoard of Lducatiou. fur
a long time tho best of these lands
have been given away to speculators
at nominal prices aud lumber men
have gone npon them without ask
ing the leave of anybody and cut
off aud carried away tho timber.
Governor Aycock and the members
of his council have determined to
put a stop to this and it is lielieved
that the State will now make some
thing out of these lauds."
1 he State at one time had a very
large area of timbered swamplands.
How much there is left we do not
know, for large tracts have boen
sold, or more properly speaking
thrown away, at figures ranging
from 12 cents to SO cents an acre.
Possibly eorae choice and desirably
located tracts may have sold for
more, but if so they were extraordin
arily well timbered and near enough
for transportation to make working
profitable Hut even the highest
prices paid were, compared with the
value ot the property sold, merely
nominal, and put very little money
into the State Treasury.
There is much of this land that
is susceptible of drainage, and if
drained would make fertile farms,
one acre of which would be worth a
hundred acres at the price those
ands usually sold. Some of the
penitentiary convicts could not be
bettor employed than in clearing up
and ditching and draining some of
those lands. Put whether this be
done or not, it is folly to be selling
them at nominal prices such as they
have heretofore sold at, for they
will never be less valuable, and in
time to c me when new railroad
will be built near these lands, they
will be much more valuable than
they now are. They are a good
thing to hold even if nothing else
be done with them. Wilmington

Election Every Four Years.
The most sensible action taken
by a public tiody in some time is
that taken by the constitutional con
vention of Alabama in fixing the
terms of members of the legislature
at four years and having a session
of that body quadrennially. This
movement will not only contribute
to the State's political peace, but
will be in the interests of economy.
Every State has too much politics,
and there is no need for the legisla
ture to meet in regular session of
tencr than once in four vears.
North Carolina and other States
need to follow the example of Ala
bama. Concord 1 lines.
Yon are right, Brother Times.
We think elections should not be
held oftener th&n every six or eight
years. The business of the country
cannot prosper as long as hot head
ed politicians run things.

The South Leads.
The Textile World has an exhaus
tive article giving tho latest sum
maty of tho textile industry in the
united States. There has been an
increase in spindles in all pnrts of
tlie 1' iiion, tho South alone furnish
ing (U per cent. Wo oiiote:
"We (hid that during the past, year
there bus boen installed in I he South
em Slates !H;5,ltif cotton spindlus
and 1H,. 1(5 cotton looms, or an in
crease of 10 7 10 por cent, iu the
cotton spindles of that section as
compare with 7J per cent, increate
tor the whole country. Hum shows
how cotton spinning mills hivo
sprung up in the South, flooding the
market with coarse yarns and bring
ing about the extreme depression
now existing in that branch of the
bumiM'HB. Ihe increase of 76 por
cent, it continued, would result in
doubling tho spinning capacity of
the country in less than ten years.
1 lie Niutlittru rato ot interest would
double tho number of spindles in
tour and one-half years. Ihe pop
ulation of the country at the rate of
increase during the past ten years
would lo doubled in 35 years.
In 1000 North Carolina had ono
million, four hundred and ninety
nine thousaud, live hundred and
forty spindles and 31,732 looms. In
1JXH they had grown to l,iiH2,.;3
spindles and 35,58S looms. This
State now has jO.OOO spindles m silk
mills, an industry that ought to grofy
to large proportions. The knitting
mills have grown stoadily and prof
itably in North Carolina. In 1!00
there were 1,482 knitting machines
and in 1 i0 1 the number had grown
to 2,l!Mi, an increase of over 1,001)
in ono year.
The lextilo world touches upon
a mutter that hitti givon concern to
all mill men when it says:
"Iii the rapid, increase of our tt x
tile machinery and the lack of any
corresponding increase in tho outlet
for goods aro to be found the causes
for the di pri'ssion which has pre
vailed in every branch of textile in
dii-try. The comparisons which wo
have nimle may well lead our tex
tile manufacturers to the conclusion
that their attention may be profit
ably emplowed in finding new out
lets for their inarm fueled goods."
The markets arc almost at our
doors, in this day of rapid transpor
tation, if we would only tear down
the Chinese walls of protection that
have beet) erected to prevent the
larger markets and export trade that
aro ntcessary for the onllet for our
manufactured goods. From the
Iitleigh News and Observer.
The Bedtime Luncheon.
It was formerly thought that food
taken at bedtime created indigestion
and bud dreams, says the ledger
Monthly. While nudoubtodly rich
and hearty food is inappropriate at
the time chosen for repose, a light
nourishing repast at night often con
duces to sound sleep by drawing the
blood away froia the brain.
Physicians are now ad vising a bed
time lunch for weak, nervoae and
emaciated people. The long hours
of sleep consume about one third ot
our existence. Although the de
mand made upon the system is nat
urally much less, there is a wasting
away of tissues consequent upon
the suspension of nutriment for
many hours. The body feeds upon
itself, for food taken at supper is
digested at bedtime. Often one is
restless and wakeful at night because
the stomach is empty.
Says a well known physician :
"Man is the only creature 1 know of
who does not deem it proper to sleep
(fn a good meal. The infant instinct
ively cries to be fed at night, show
ing that food is necessary during
that time, as well as through the day,
and that left too long without it
causee it discomfort, which it makes
known by crying."
If you crave it, eat a light, easily
digested lunch at ledtime. And
the long hours of sleep will work
out for you a problem in addition, in
stead of subtraction of adipose tissue.

Neglecting: Rules of Hcallb.
Many men tinconseioUbly shorten
their days by neglecting the plain
laws of health, tiucli neglect is not
so surprising among tho ignorant,
but it is a source of wonder when
ono of the greatest men, one of the
ablest writers and one of tho most
profound scholars of the world takes
a course that produces death. Such
was the case with the late 1 rof
John Fieke. lie wis physically
perfect but by neglect diod at 59
when he should have l;ved to tho
three fecoro years and ten. Dis
dishing the cause of his death, tho
1 hiladelphia Ledger says :
"We do not know what the oflieial
diagnosis was; but does it not soem
most probable that tho teal cause of
his dying twenty years too soon was
that ho neglected - no, maltreated
is tho Irotter word that splendid
body of his and wore it out with
over work and irregular habits un
til it reached the breaking point
rattier suddenly, as perfectly work
machines aro apt to do I
"John Finke had an almost un
limited capital of jiealth aud
strength. Like many a man with
a large financial capital, he thought
it was inexhaustible and drew on it
ncklesly, until he over drow, and
physical bankruptcy fallowed." His
creed was ono indirect conflict with
the advice of physicians. Here is
the way he expressed it;
"Always sit in a draft when I find
one, wear the thinnest clothes I can
find, winter and summer, catch old
onco in threo or four yiars, hut
not severely, aud prefer to work in
a cold room, ft 5 to CO dogrces. Work
tho larger part of each twenty four
hours, and by day or n itrbt indiffer
ently. Scarcely ever change a word
once writton, eat when hungry,
rarely taste cutleo or wine or smoke
a cigar, but drink two or throe
piarts of beer each day and smoke
a pipe all the time when at work."
1 here is too much sickness abroad,
some due to the wet season, and
other utipreventable causes, but
much sickness comes because men
and women do like Prof. Kiske iu
refusing to bo governed by the
rules which scienco snd experience
have shown to be necessary to pre
vent disease. I.alek'h .News and

Keep the Boys Employed.
Put your boy at work if he is not
at rdiool. If there is nothirij else
for him to do put him to whitewash
ing the back fence, keep the lawn
mowed and even cut the winter's
supply of wood. Anything is better
than loafing about town at the tear
end of a cigarette, learning all the
evil habits aud contracting all the
vices that are sfl iat to catch idlers.
No honest lalior will hurt your boy,
but the evil habits he may contract
in the streets may kill his soul and
poison his moral nature so as to
make him a detriment to the com
munity in which he lives and bow
down his gray-haired parents with
sorrow. If the fittliers and mothers
of today would only learn the im
portance ot training the sous so as to
be industrious and keep them off the
streets, the coming generation would
be inestimably better for it. From

The Situation U China.
Special Commissioner lloekbill
has provided the state department
at Washington by cable the follow
ing statement of the present status
ot the negotiations of l'ekin ;
The diplomatic corps at l'ekin is
engaged in coritiduring flic Kueaiun
proposals for the eventual increase
of tho tariff (mariline customs.) A
solution of the problem is hoped
for. The indemnity at 450,000,000
taels, and 4 per cent, interest, has
boen formally accepted, and Japan
has waived preferential treatment.
The formal surrender of l'ekin to
the Chinese authorities is expected
to take placo on tho 14th of Aug."
Tho date mentioned is the anni
versary of the relief of the legations
by tho iuternational force. The
Russian proposal referred to is un
derstood, in substance, to bo an in
crease from 5 per cent, to 10 per
cent, of the customs duties, which
the Chinese governinont may col
lect from the imports from foreign
countries. It fs further understood
that this increase is not to take ef
fect at onco and perhaps not at all.
It will depend upon the resources
of China nnder the existing system.
This proposition is believed to be
much less objectionable t-j Creat
Britain snd J-tpan, as well as to the
I'nitul Suits, than the original
proi Ohitit.n to make an absolute aud
immediate i increase of the customs
dutits to the extent proposed.
