Discovered Secret
Borrowed Trouble.
Ai I escaped that waste basket
before I will write again, add a lew
word on "Borrowed Trouble."
How maoj of jou are addicted to
thia ple&aure destroying babitl I
believe when it baa once become
deep seated we may rail it incnrable.
We bave real troubles enough, have
we not ! And why will we borrow
trouble? If we will view this mat
ter in the proper light we will no
donbt find more of onr real troubles.
We cannot avoid onr ahare of real
trouble. It it perfectly natural and
right that we ahould bave tome
trouble in order that our strong
hearts may be softened. At I have
beard the remark "Lord look down
on these bard hearted tinners and
soften their hearts." So our hearts
need softening. Some times sore
trials are essential to soft hearts. I
mean by this real troubles This
world is what we make it. We can
make life a pleasure to ourselves,
neighbor! and friends, or on the
other band we can make it a burden.
One kind word spoken it worth
more than a dozen harsh words. I
think every one should contribute
that which is good, that which will
brighten and bices the moet unsuc
cessful day. Also we should try in
every way we can to lift the burden
from tbe hearts of neighbors and
friends, perform every little act of
kindness that we can and note bow
bright the world will appear and
bow light our own hearts will feci.

"There will be a brilliant Mid
way with BothiDg to offend or de

the most novel and thrilling ever
abown in our State.
"Some of tbe beat borscs ever
shown on the track will be in the

Tbe pamphlet contains cuts of
some of North Carolina's famous
bones. Full instructions and rezu
latiooa are printed in the front part
ol tbe laaoe.
The man who dir covered teleg
raphy, according to tho Greensboro
Record, is still living and bis Dame
is not Mi rso. The Record sayt :
It is a matter of history that Mr.
J. L Clemmont, of Lexington, dis
covered the secret ot telegraphy and
that he bad a conversation with
Morso on the matter and that in less
than three years after this time,
Morse perfected tbe system as his
own. This has been a long time ago
and it will surprise many to know
that Mr. Cletninuns is still li viol?
11 is home is in Louisville, Ky., and
Mr. W. A. Watson, Sr., formerly ot
Lexington, now of this place, is in
recoipt of a letter from him in reply
to ono written him about the re
union to be beld bere in October.
Mr. Cleinmona' letter is so interest
ing that The Record has been per
mitted to publish it. It is of date
Augast 24th and follows:
"I have received and rettd with
pleasure your very interesting letter
of 13th inet. Whilo I remember
but few of the small boys, I bave a
very clear recollection of all tho old
citizens and of none more vividly
than that of your father. He was
the life and inspiration of every
crowd he entered ; alwayi jovial and
full of fun. 1 suppose, like all the
est, he has long since passed away,
though 1 never heard of his death.
Oaring tbe 53 years that I have
been absent from Lexington, death
has cut a wide swathe and left but
ittle stubble behind bim in the town
of Lexington. About 15 years sgo
1 made a short visit to my old home
and was appalled at the clean sweep
be had made of the entire old popu
lation and felt as if alone in a grave
yard. As to the general progress of
the town and county I have kept
myself pretty well posted for the
last 20 years by reading tbe Dis
patch from week to week. I am
glad to believe that great improve
ments bave been rosde and are now
being made in the refinements of
lite and material prosperity
of both towu-od. wipntv, When!
left North Carolina tbe tow.nf.
Winston did not exist and Greens
boro whs a small affair ; they are
now both clashed with trie most im
portant cities of the State. There
were no railroads then in that sec
tion and the cultivation of tobacco
was unknown. The changes that
have been made in tbe face of tbe
whole country are wonderful indeed.
"Yon seem to be engaged in man
utactnring and I trust are doing
well. Yon must now be over 60
years of sgo, which seems strange,
as you were only a boy when I saw
you last. I suppose the Clemraons
tamily is now about extinct in North
Carolina, though quite a number
mav be found in Indiana. Illinois
and California. I am alone in Ken
tucky except one sister, with whom
reside. My wife died 14 years
ago and all my children are dead. I
am very old, iost closing my 90th
year, but thank God.have always had
excellent health and am now with
out disease or symptoms of disease,
and strong both physically and
mentally. It will surprise yon when
I tell you that 1 have not been put
in bed by sickness in 70 years. While
1 have been subject to the vicissi
tudes common to all men in my long
history, I have generally passed the
way smoothly and am now enjoying
a lite ol ease and independence.
Though not as particular in my
morals as I ought to bave been when
a resident of Lexington I bave been
a member of the Christian church
for 50 yeart and have tried to live
up to my calling. I know that I
have not long to atay but do not al
low tbe near departure to give me
much trouble or thought. With
my best wishes for your health and
prosperity,

"The Holy City."
Thirty men, red eyed and dishev
eled, lined up before a judge of tho
San Francisco polico court. It was
the regular morning company of
"drunks and disorderlies." Some
were old and hardened, others hung
their heads in shame. Just as the
momentary disorder attonding the
bringing In ot thu prisoners quieted
down, a strange thing happened.
A strong, clear voice from bolow be
gan singing :
"Last night I lay a-tleeplng,
'Hit1 re came a dream so fair."
Last night! It bad been for them
a nightmare or a drunken stupor
The song waa such a contrast to the
horrible fact that no one could fail
of a sudden shock at the thought
the song suggested.
"I stood in old Jerusalem,
Heside the Temple there,"
the song went on. The jodge had
pa u sod. lie made a quiet inquiry.

court room, blended in the hush.
At length one man protested.
"Judge," said he, "have we got to
submit to this f We're here to take
our punishment, but this" lie,
too, began to sob.
It was impossible to proceed with
the bubinees of the court, yet the
udge gave no order to stop the song.
Tbe police sergeant, after an i ffjrt
to keep the men in line, stepped
back and waitjd with tbe rest. The
tong moved on to its climax ;
"Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Sing, for the
night is o erl
Hosat.a in the highest I hosanna for
evermore I"
In an ecstasy of melody the last
words rang out, and then there wat
silence.
The judge looked into the facet
of the men before bim. There was
not one who wat not touched by
the song ; not one in whom some
hotter impulse was not stirred. lie

Kd Turks Kill
i'jii::i;ihnr
A dispatch of the 8th inst, from
Bona, Bulgaria, aayt :
All reports from the vilayet of
M on astir agree in describing tho sit
uation as appalling. 1 Jet ween thirty
and city thousand JJnlgarian tnbab
itants are believed to have been
massacred by the Turks and every
Bulgarian village in the vilayet hat
been destroyed. The refugees in
the mountains and forests are dying
of starvation by thousands. At
present it is impossible to obtain
precise figures. The revolutionary
headquarters estimate that thirty
thousand Bulgarian men, women
and children bave been killed, while
at least the samo number of refu
gees are slowly perishing of hunger.
In oll'cial circlet these tig ores are
regarl 1 as an under estimate and
('flieialsx icline to the belief that the
number of the massscred exceeds
50,000. The Turks are apparently
determined to exterminate the en

vilayet.

situation is viewed with increasing
alarm. It is reliably reported that
