Human will is an animal propensity, not a faculty of soul Hence it cannot gov ern man aright. ' Christian Science re veals truth and love as the motive pow ers of man," '(., . Christian Science heals through the prayer which hi more than a mere petl tion for help, it must be a realisation of -eternal truth and its own perfect ; mani festations. ' No hypnotist' has ever claimed spiritual results for their labors; they will admit that although a momen tary exaltation might be brought about that hypnotism is not capable of reclaim ing tbe sinner and teaching him to no longer be governed by any power but God; or that to know God and his true relation to him Is the only freedom. Morphine,' all know, acts in the physi cal realm as hypnotism does in the men tal, leaving its victim worse alter its use than before. It has been a constant effort of Mrs. Eddy's work for more than 80 years to point out the baneful and of necessity unscientific nature of mesmerism and its variations into hypnotism. At the be ginning of her work the mesmerist and his efforts which deceive were hated by standard workers and iuvestlgators, but lol today some are making constant ef forts to use this seaming power and pres. ent it as suggestive therapeutics.; How ever, as in tbe article referred to, its dan gers are so forced upon the public that there can but come the time when these very ones now urging its acceptance' will warn all against . Prof. Quackenbos says Christian Sci ence is "MJti-Christian" in its pantheism, and "unscientific in. Its technic,, yet he claims that the cures result and accord ing to his own theory, suggestion, we agree with ,hlm fully that suggestive tberepeut'cs is both anti-Christian and unscientific, hence we avoid the system wholly.--'(,' i '.-vi '"! : He also writes that the claims of Chris tian Scientist for, !'the healing of Incur able organic diseases through their sys tem argues either dementia or deliberate intention to bait gndgeouk!!- - ' Be states thai these "organic diseases are excluded front the alms or success of bypno-suggestloo, and of course claim ing Christian Science to be the same, hs naturally sees no way for them to be healed. -C ii?-iv.j,.- ' Again would be prove that Christian 8cience healing is not akin to his method.

C, AprU 23. Over one hundred men from six states, represent ing 700,000 yarn spindles, met in Char lotte today to hear tbe details of the proposition of F. L. Underwood, of, No. 31 Nassau street, New York, who wishes to combine 60 percent, or more of the southern yarn mills In a 160,000,000 trust. Just before the adjournment the mill men unanimously voted for a reso lution declaring the wisdom of an amal gamation of their Interests, and a great majority of the spinners voted to recom mend that the proposal of Mr. Under wood be favorably considered by the stockholders of the southern yarn mills. Mr.'Uhderwood says he is delighted with the reception accorded him by tbe mill men, and be fs confident that the big mer gef will be effected. , Ji- s ' At a meeting in the forenoon, Mr. Un der wood repeated his proposition, which is, in effect, that he will agree to pay, to all of the'yarn mill owners a price to be agreed upon by a committee to be selected by the mill owners with . his . approval, but it is stipulated that euch pries shall not be in excess of 220 per cent, of the fair cash cost of replacing the property payment to made in one half preferred and one half common stock. He Informed the spinners that he and bis associates were prepared to effect .the combination and were prepared to put up 15,500,000 as working capital .within tea' days 4f need be. Referring to the indebtedness of the mills hs stated that any mill could either pay its debts and the . purchaser would issue the entire value of the mill In stock, or the purchaser would assume tb; In debtedness and issue the net value of the mill in stock. The mills in the combina tion would have the advantage of having their stock listed and their sales would be in the hands , of one , selling, agency, thus reducing needless competition. Tbe preferred ' stock,! Mr. Underwood said, would be 7 per oent. cumulative stock and is hot in the nature of a lien or a mort gage. ' . . Contracts which were submitted to tbe spinners state that .the 'delivery of the mills must be mads on or before January 1903. The mill men will take these con tracts home and announce their decision after a consultation with the directors and stockholders of their various compa nies. Despite their vote, a number of mill men questioned tbe success of Mr. Under wood's plan. They maintain that it is a WB LdKM TO BAT.

' RISE OF CHARLOTTE THE RAPID GfiOWTH OF A SOUTHERN TOWN. , Its Resaaurkable Development In tk Past Few Years Famous as a Han' nfaetnrias and ladnstrlml Center. IU Splendid Roads. t ' . ;V-., t : This Is tbe story of a bright and thrifty southern town that has sprung Into a city through j tbe building of good roads and the development of manufacturing industries, a city whose sky line Is dotted with ' smokestacks and whose streets are thronged with a busy , and prosperous people, says a writer in The National Magazine. ' Charlotte, N. C, affords perhaps the best example of the modern Industrial town in the south, for In recent years ft has grown from a strictly commer cial town of 8,000 Inhabitants to a manufacturing center of 27,000 people. Few cities in tbe southern states have attracted as much attention to them selves In recent years as Charlotte by reason of Its rapid growth and the re markable development of its manufac turing and Industrial Interests. The recognized center of the cotton mill in dustry of tbe south; it has developed a list of auxiliary manufactures that has built up its waste places and in creased Its population to such an ex tent that it has become famous as a manufacturing and Industrial center. The railroads are an important fac tor in the life of any town, and the ex cellent facilities which Charlotte en- Joys have much to do with the growth and . prosperity of the city. As has been said, Charlotte is an example of the modern Industrial town. It is a town of diversified industries. It has mills to use up cotton, wood, Iron, leather, cotton seed,- tobacco, broom straw, marble and other raw products and turn teem ent into the markets of the country in the shape of finished products, from the common to the fin est grades. The excellent railroad facilities of Charlotte are backed up by a new com mercial power, good roads. Mecklen burg county took . the lead in good roads building some years ago, and the results have been of a most grati fying character. The model set by this county has been generally adopted in the south, and practically all the good roads work now being done hi patterned after tbe Mecklenburg sys tem. Good roads in this county simply mean good ftreets, for the good roads going out of Charlotte are but contin uations of Charlotte's streets, for the construction of roads and streets Is the same. The only difference is that out side of tbe town tbe roadway Is nar rower. Tbe hills are cut down, low I'acps graded and steel bridges erect ed scrota tbe streams. These roads now radiate from Charlotte In every c":wt!on. Altorether there ere In the ,,-r-v.i of 1"K m'3 cf good IN MISSING STRIP. roads consTructed in Mecklenburg. " : The plan la to carry these good routls from Charlotte In every direction to the county line, and this work will soon be accomplished. The effect of eootf roads on the trade of Charlotte bus been distinctly beneficial and Is f n by the Increased Inflow of cotton and all kinds of produce from the fn raw. The farmer with a load to haul would rather go fifteen miles over a good road than five over a bad one, and us a consequence they bead their team fur Charlotte from all directions wbon they are within reasonable reach of tbe good roads. ' The establishment of the good roads bos added to the pros perity of the farmer In many ways, and all over the county there Is a 110 ticeable improvement in tbe farms and their surroundings. The fanners buve better stock and more of It, their wag ons are of the best and - their bngsles are rubber tired, while their houses are painted and '' all ' their surroundings made more attractive. For much of all this the good roads facilities to market are responsible. . Tbe location of Charlotte Is an Ideal one.,: It is the midway station between New York and New Orleans and is sit. uated In the richest section of what is known as the Piedmont belt. Tbe ele vation of the town Is 700 feet, or1 -110 feet higher than Raleigh, the capital of the state. It is six. hours' travel east to tbe seashore and eight hours' travel west to the backbone of the Blue Ridge. IU climate is a counterpart of that of southern France, How to Hake TFaldorf Salad. The real Waldorf salad Is made as follows: Pare and core two large, tart apples and cut into dice half an Inch square; cut up an equal quantity of blanched, crisp celery and mix with the apples; add a little salt, sprinkle lightly with French dressing and tben mix with mayonnaise. Do not let stand, but serve' at, once in cups formed of crisp lettuce leavos. Chopped English walnuts may be added to this salad, or make a salad of equal quantities of or ange dice, nuts and celery and serve In the same way. j; How to Ciena Marble. - Stains on marble can be removed by spreading a - paste made of fuller's earth and lemon Juice on them, leav ing for twenty-four hours and tlien washing off with warm water.

Well, Mr. Merchant, ' when - you saw last Saturday's issue of The Free Peess you no doubt realized you had missed a good thing by not having a good, ad in it. , The paper made a great hit and was read in nearly every family in town. It will be the same next Saturday, so prepare your ad at ace. ' . ' Mr., Underwood, with - his yarn mill trust scheme, presents a 'dilemma with one horn to local mills. To fight the trust, unless a mill has a standing con. tract or some special outlet for ft pro- h duct, will mean ruination.' To Join the -trust means eventually the survival , of tbe fittest, dr not even so good as, that, the shutting down of mills here and there in favor of others. Before ratifying 'the ' Underwood proposition the local boards ' of director had better bold a conven tion of their own, with Underwood left , ont. If the proposition Is voted upon singly each local board will be, afraid to -stand out for fear that all the others will go in, notwithstanding many or all who ' vote for tt would' be hoping it would fall through. Some two weeks ago Mr. J. W, Grain ger, chariman of tbe Democratic county committee, sent out letters to all who had up to that time neglected to pay -their poll tax, urging them to do so without further delay. Thus far the responses have been very few and far between and there still remains a targe number of voters throughout the county who hare not paid their poll tax. , , There is now but six days In which to do this and thus be eligible to vote : next fall. It will not count after next Wednesday, tbe last day of April. We again repeat that the poll tax can be paid and a receipt be obtained there for, which win entitle the holder to vote next fall, without paying other taxes. , Itdoes not seem possible that any votercan now be Ignorant of these facts, in the face of all that has been said, and it is im patriotic and impolitic tor a. man to disfranchise himself. Preserve your right to vota by' paying . np your poll tax within thecoming week. s A Duplin county man who says he has "been a reader of The Free Press for twenty years but not a subscriber" takes Timely Topics to task for an attempt at facetlousnees In which It alluded to ''the -. murder district of Duplin county." That was all there was to it, but the writer is severely critical, characterises it as "a fish story," composed of "troth one per ' cent exaggeration 99 per cent,' and then admits its existence and defines r the boundaries of the district, which he .' says "is a little scope of the country about , five miles wide," and he finds comfort in saying that tt "adjoins that part of Le noir where there has been so many mur ders and shootings from ambush," Well, all right We accept the amend ment and should we ever feel called upon to make the allusion again we wCl. say ' "the murder districts of Lenoir and Dup lin eounttee, hoping that wCl be agreea ble all around. ; - . .
