THE REWARD OP.SELHSHNESS.
Net long since, while hi a large
city, I was talking to a married wo
man who "goce in" for coif, horeo
shows, dog shows, and what net.
bho had been married 10 or 12
years and her liuelmnd had nutria
immcv. W Uh it camu (bo desire to
i-liine in society, and 'lie wife had
boon a shining social light for quite
a number of years,
lliere was something strangely
pathetic in her voice as she said to
mo in a languid wsy :
"Did nobody ever tell you that in
some prehistoric time I was in -love
with my husband f VV ell, I was. 1
used to go to afiernoon services in
ent and pray for that love to last,
because tho sensation was so much
o my taste. -1 used to have ecstatic
feelings when hie foot was on the
stair and 1 sat sewing little baby
clothes. We lived in a plain way
then : three dollars siient in two
theatre tickets was a tremendous
outlay,
We walked out to dinners
1 tucking un the train of my best
gown under a long cloak, and laugh-
ing it the wind snatched it away
from me at the corners and whipped
it around my teet. 1 hen he grew
icher, and then how and when,
aoar knows, it l can remember, we
grew farther away from each other,
Now when he is at home, 1 am aware
f it, but (hat is all. When our hps
meet it is like two dry pieces of pith
coming together. 1 know no(hing
of his affairs, nor he of mine. I
have money in abundance. Money,
raouey ,-wuo cares lor money wnen

men so many men ! 1 hey give
themselves to gratify a sordid desire

tiful pictures it paints upon the cre6t

wnai a messing u would oe 11 a i
onared tnoneana American gins,
now striving to get places in shops
and stores and doing unhealthy work
in oflices, could thoroughly prepare
themselves for domestic lite, and
marrying young men 01 aoout tpeir
own age, oe coDw.ni to nire a imie
house and live with economy, with
no need ot wealth. They would
enpy more of heaven in this world
than tney are ever hkely to get in
any other way.
Or, better still, to marry some ro-
bust, honest and opnght,clean mind-
ed clean blooded country man, who
nows how to thank his God for an
honest return for an honost dav's
work and lies down at night to dream
only of Nature c.id Nature's God.
Hut the changes in toe conditions of
life bring changes in our tastes, and
we are continuously striving for the
unreachable, and leaving the bless
ings ot simpler pleasures untusted.

try boys who go to the cities to-get
rich, after striving year iu and year
out, battling against all obstacles

Tbe Robbers Die a Tunnel to a Point
Under tbe Walls of tbe
Smeltlnf Works.
Telegraphic dispatches last Tues
day from Valleio, Cal.,fell of a dar
ing robbery. The report ys :
Gold bricks valued at $340,000
were stolon during last night from
the Bui by smelting works. Tho rob
bois had evidently boon working on
the j ib or two or threo months.
They had dug a tunnel from outside
tho hnueo, beginning wllh a shaft
about (hi oo foot dorp. Thence they
woiked underneath the vsnlt and,
striking upwards, bored a hojo in tbe
strong room floor. The hole was
shaped like the manhole of t boiler,
l'arts of the holes were bored two
mouths ago, it is thought, and tho
last ono was completed during 'ho
night. Through that nolo they
took tho sold bricks snd carried
them to hank near (ho mouth of
a tunnol oast of tho works, wiiere
they wcro evidently placed in a boat,
In their hurry tho roimcrs leit two
of tho bricks on tho bank.
Tho entrance to tho tunnol was
covered with a iVauio over which
tho employes of tho smelter passed
rjnidlv evcrv dav. but no ono
loomed to notice anything out of tho
way. tMierifl Hale, of Comraosta
county, his deputies, and Chief of
1 olice ban ford, of allejo, liavo
been notified and aro now at the
works. The polico of Han Fran
cisco and all tho Rty cities aro all at
woik on tho case, but so far Micro is
not tho slightest cluo to the robbers
Tho work was that of skilled men
and their plans wero carried out
without a hitch. They got all tho
bullion in tho vault, leaving behind
cnly tho two bricks wincri wore
dropped on the ehoro. Only one
days accumulation of refined gold
Was kept at tho works. 1 eeterday s
run was unusual v. hcavv and the
gold was to have been shipped back

Nortb Carolina's New Industrial Life
Tho awakening of North Caro
lina along industrial lines gives loud
for very serious thought. The con
trohng forco to-day is a strenuous
Industrial life. This is in a sense
material age. Tho mad chase for
wealth in itself is far from the
highest aspiration of man, but thu
deslro tor wealth is a laudable one.
No longer can thdre bo great wealth
lo a community devoted to agrlcu
Jure alone, and wealth Is necessary.
it is useless to decry its power,
wiinout wealth thoro can bo no
decided step forward, material or
mental. Tho Industrial life and
I IS a a.aa .a.
man s Higher mtolioctnal lite are
independent. Wealth snd pros
pority, education and clviliisttion
are inseparably linked together
lo dsy forces aro at work under-
noath our Stato which if allowed

D " I
wealth, lo population and In power.
Tho United (States has entered upon
atiewereof itsexis'Bncn Kfpnninw
almost auddnrilv from nn Wihdnd
powur Info (ho position of a world
power, presents to us many new
problems. Wo are now in tho race
for the world markets and our In
dustrial life is ouickenod. lint it is
of North Carolina we are sneaking
On every side we can soe the new
life springing Into existence. Hut
this young life is tondcr and weak.
1 ropcrly nurtured and skillfully
cared for, It will spring into a mighty
power whoso fruit shall hn wealth,
prosperity and nosilion. If. how-
ever. K is uncared for. certain cou-
ditintis nnfulfillnd. it will i..knn
anddio. It is a (rite Baying "a chain
is no stronrfi r than its weakest link."
Kqually so our life is no richer, no
deeper, no stronger than its tunet
devoloood iihasn. The dnvelniminnt
of every phsso of our life must pro
ceed step by step with tho advance
ot industry,
Our pejple must be educated in
more ways than one. It must bo
said no longer that the State forgets
its cit 17.0118 Our wealth does not lie
in our son aim m our cotton, far
richer is that wealth that lies in tl e
intelligent industry of an educa'ed
people. The Stato cannot afford fo
lose this by illiteracy. We need
skilled labor, (ho inventive faculty,
the directive iremns in the men who
handle mschioory. In the words of
that celebrated Southerner, Dr. J.
Ii M. Curry, "it will not do to say
we are too poor to educate our peo
plo ; we are too poor not (o educ i(e
them. Ignorance and wealth, ignor
ance and prosperity never dwell to
get her. ' A peoplo educated in the
rudiments of knowledge will see the
needs for higher and technical edu
cation. Then the demands of these
institutions will be recognizid-nd
the people will give them succor
ben the public school houee stands
at every man's door, and the public
ibranes invite our people to associ
ation with the minds of every age
and country, when university train
ing has been extended to all who
desire it, there will come that large
ness of view that will forever banish
from our borders all narrowness of
thought. And it is necessary that
this much desired result be brought
about, for no great advancement,
material, mental or spiritual can
come among a narrow people. The
world has advanced and no longer
are men expected to think and be
lieve alike. This we must learn.
That a man belongs to a certain
ecclesiastical body well and good,
that be belongs to any is to bis credit,
but that be belongs to none should
not be held against him. lie has
his rights and there should be none
to deny him.
W Uh the negro eliminated from
politics, civil freedom must grow if
we are to realize tbe highest ideal
of statehood. When men divide en
principle and not on color, we can
turn our attention to the discussion
and study of great social and eco
nomic questions, and 'in this clash
of intcilec's we c&n raise great
minds." '
Then our ideas as to the relation
of labor and capital will be material
ly changed. 1 he trained and capa
ble laborer will know his rights and
nowing dare maintain them. Hut
no narrow view of corporations and
combinations of wealth will cause. as
to pass laws which will cripple our
new-born industrial life. No maud
lin sympathy for the laboring classes
will legislate destructive to the
interests of laborer and capitalists
alike, Dut there shall be fair and
qaitable treatment for all con
cerned. When this has happened
then and not till then will we be
prepared to take prt in, to appreci
ate, to extend and develop to tbe
utmost the new industrial life that
springing into existence. Our
hope, our tutore, ocr opportunity
es in the increased attention to in
dustrial pursuits. If there is no
retarding force the center of in
dustrialism will be here in tbe
South. Will we prepare the way
for it! Will we seize the oppor
tunity and make the most of it . It
rests with tbe yoong men ot the
State to settle this question. They
are the rulers of our deetiny and in
their bands is the future of our
State. They can fulfill all these
conditions and thus establish the
future greatness ot our State. D.

Thousands Perish by Flood In China.
A late cablegram from Victoria,
U. C , says : Great floods caused by
the ovcifliwing of (he Yang Tse
river have caused (he death ot many
thousands in China. The river has
risen 40 Uot, and for hundreds of
m l,"e 11,0 country is a great fake with
onty tho (ops of the trees and an
occasional roof showing. At Ank
ing tho town is fl toded (o the roofs
of some of the houses. A( Kin Ki
ang, the native town is flooded and
two foet ot water stands in the for
eign settlement. Lower down the
river towards Swu Hue, the destruc
tion was greater and boatmen esti
mate (hat 20,000 were drowned in
(ho district. Cb.ong Teh was wiped
away by floods and 10,000 drowned
there and many other points have
been inundated involving awf nl lose
of life and great destruction to prop
erty. It is feared an embankment
built by Chong Clieh Tung near Wu
Chang will break and cause the
drowning ot hundreds of thousands
of helpless people.

THE FARMER'S CHANCE.
Jn writing horeloforo on the ne
cessity of (irudence on the part of
farmers in contracting induhtcduoa
to he paid out of their crops, wo
have remarked thst there i no tvo.
cation in which more chances are
taken than in (hat of farming. No
man cau fell when he plants his crop
what he will got out of it. All he
can do is plant and hopo. It may
be (hat drought or deluge, storm or
insect will leave him little or noUi
ing, or it may bo that an excessive
yield will exceed the demand for
consumption and leave hiui little re
turn for his labor.
We have a striking illustration of
this this year in tho great grain re
gion of tho West, and in the oot(on
region of tho South, both of which
havo suffered much, the former
from destroying droughts, the latter
from downpours of rain, followed in
some sections by parching drought-.
Fortunately for tho farmers of the
West, and for every body else, a very
good wheat crop was liar vested bo-
fore tlio drought set in. If it hadn't
boon for that tho farmers of the
West would have been ruined, and
in their ruin would have liiilh-d
lowu thousands of others 'whose
business depends upon. the farmer.
It is too early yet (nd utill chances
aro to ho tHkcn) to estimate what
the d-niiHgti to tho South has beer,
but ihu teliiuated damage (o the
i.u mers of Mhs inri, Kansas, Iowa
and Nebraska alone is between
:if)iyou,ooo and l.oiyjno.ooo. '
There arc a great many farmer in
tho West who raise but little wheat,
depending on corn and other crops,
principally corn, which thuy feed to
hogH, so I hat a lues of corn moans a
loss of p irk, t hoi r main dependence.
