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.

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 leiegram, 23d. "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.

Leaving home is to many a yonng man his making or his ruin. As to which it proves to be, depends large ly on the kind of training he has re 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! Kuligioiis Telescope. 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 Star. 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 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.

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. wticn trie Hair, fails accompanied by mucous patches to the mouth, erup tions on the skin, sore throat, copper colored snlotcbea.

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.

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.

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.
