Senator Jtoasley forthwith offered a joint reso lution extending a similar invitation from the general assembly. The reso lution was immediately passed and went to the house. It is to he hoped that the citizens of our whole State will co-oierate with Greensboro in making? the reunion u success. Let all whoknow of Carolin- lans who have settled elsewhere send in a list of such names to either the mayor of Greensboro or to Dr. C. D. Alclver.that invitations may be issued. Then when North Carolina Day conies let our jieople go there, meet their friends, and talk over matters. It will be of vast benefit to us to have our brethren come back and tell us what they are doing in the outside world. In this way the old North State will receive the benefit of new Impulses from without through the medium of her own blood and brawn, from son and daughters who can appreciate feelings and desires of the old folks at home. A mother will al ways value and profit by the advice coming from her children more than that coming from any other source. But in our case the mother state will . have something to say and show to her wandering children. She will show them industries awakening on every band. She will show them an educa llonal system that has begun in ear nest to develop, and which will sooner or later place the State's citizenship in that advanced position which it ought to occupy. We should not rest on ouroars, and we are not doing so. Improvement should be and is the watchword all along the line improvement indus trially, educationally, morally. We do not want to be satisfied with exis ting conditions, for there are greater heights to be attained. The reunion will be a good thing. Let us help it along. A new folding life preserver has been invented, says a writer in the Brooklyn fcagle. It looks tjtilte large wLen the water, but the Inventor claims that when it Is folded up it takes up a suiull space and la light. The apparatus consists of a series o. curved ribs, which are hinged together at the ends and support a waterproof covering shuped somewhat like an en lurued football. In the sides of the cover are formed armliolesanu sleeves and In the bottom Is a seat on wlikh the shipwrecked person may rest, his Ick's being Inserted In leg pieces. These ire somewhat conical to conform to the wearer's shape, but are sufficiently tnlai'Kt d to allow the feet to lie ti!-!; ly inserted. Inside Is a tape that takes up the slack until the feet rest on the bottom of the bonis. In the top of the cover is an nlrholf in which there is a rubber tube, the free end outside being provided with n UNCLE ELI'S FABLES. LEE'S RIGHT AHM. la any consideration of the heroes of history the life and character of Stonewall Jackson Is of prime impor tance. Not simply because he was one of the world's greatest generals. He -was as firm as granite in defense, and joore especially renowed as a strate gist, Bad 88 aa aggressive fighter. 2ut Jackson's invaluable contribu tion to historic lessons is to be found In that sublime devotion and fortitude, Uiat intenseness of religious charac ter, and that unfaltering devotion to duty that made him not only Lee's 'right rm," but the right arm of the struggling south. . Below are given extracts from a Baltimore Sun editorial: Today is the seventy-ninth anniver sary of the birth of Thomas Jonathan Jackson, one of the greatest of Ameri can generals, asoldierwhodistinguish d himself in the war with Mexico and won imperishable fame in the war between the states. General Jackson was born at Clarks burg, Va., on January 21, 1824. He was graduated from the West Point Military Academy in 1846 and served In the Mexican W ar. In that conflict he displayed a fearlessness, aggres siveness and tenacity in battle worthy of a veteran soldier. At Chapultepec the American Army suffered terribly from the fire of Mexican guns on the heights. The gunners of Jackson's battery were demoralised and left their posts. Jackson walked up and down the shot-swept road exclaiming: "There Is no danger; see, I am not hit." With the assistance of one man, all the rest of his gunners having de serted him, Jackson loaded and fired his field piece, plying sponge and hand spike and answering the enemy shot for shot General Worth sent him orders to retire. Jackson replied that it was more dangerous to withdraw than to stand fast. Presently the American Infantry rallied, overpower ed the Mexican artillery and drove the enemy from their intrenchments. That was Jackson's way in the Mexican war, when he was a lieutenant in the regu lar army. - .-V'- , General' Jackson was wounded at Chancellorsville on May 2, 1863. He died eight days later. When he passed away General Lee, to use the latter's words "lost his right am.. There were able and gallant generals in the Confederate service, but none - who could fill Jackson's place. The death of Stonewall Jackson was a great blow -to the south. Ha was idolized by the southern people and by the Confeder ate soldiers. Military experts of all nations give, hint a place among the greatest generals of the nineteenth cen tury. Stonewall Jackson was not only a mighty warrior, but he was the very model of a Christian gentleman. His name is without spot or blemish. Stonewall Jackson Inspired his men with an absolute confidence in the im pregnability of his leadership, and the consequence was he became fnfpregna lie. ; ' v.-;.: "";.- When leaders have unfaltering faith .1 confidence in their own cause, they "1 ne t End it difficult to enlist hearty t ' :. :n. LIFE PHESERVER IN CBE. cork float. Inside is a pocket for food, stimulants, etc. When it Is not In use. the ribs of the preserver fold up. with the legs and arms Inside. To use it the ribs are opened and brought over the head. An invention on similar lines is that of an Ingenious lifeboat described by a writer In the New York Herald. It consists of an outer rotatuble shell, an Inner hanging carriage and a center board, which Is longitudinally attached to the shell In such a manner that it can be opened or closed. At each end of the shell are a pair of transverse bulkheads, forming an Inner compartment between them, and. furthermore, there Is a mechanism by means of which the carriage can be locked to the shell in any desired posi tion with rejQtlon to the centerbonrd wuen tue latter is open. In a few o'her respects this boat dlf- ' fcrs from those now In use. and It Is said by those who have examined It to possess some notable advantages over them. For a number of years now inventors have licvn at work trying to devise some satisfactory means of deriving electricity direct from coal without l.avlug to have recourse to the boiler and engine. In 1900 the so called Cox thermopile was fully described, from which much was hoped for at that time. Since then other forms of ther mopiles have beeu brought out, the lat est apparently being one Invented by a resident of Newport, R. I., regarding which great secrecy is maintained and great things are expected. The battery and what it is claimed it will accom plish are referred to as follows In Elec tricity by Mr. Jone. the chemist wuo devised It. "I feel confident that I now have a battery which will produce electricity from coal in sufficient quantity to run Street cars, locomotives, llgut the streets, propel -j ships and turn the wheels of large factories. The yield Is 62.5 per cent of the energy of the gas used up in my battery. This is about two and a half times as much as is obtained from the best engines hith erto In use. The ordinary gas engine yields 23 per cent. The best gas en gine of latest construction yields 28 per cent of the energy of the gas used up. The efficiency of steam engines is still lower, since they produce only about 10 per cent of the energy of the coal they consume. The new battery Is of practical and convenient form and easy to work. It is difficult to see how the Invention If Introduced la the city's lighting plants and pumping stations can fall to save the dry $300,000 an nually for coal I cannot give the de tails of the Invention yet. because cer tain foreign countries refuse patent en Inventions after the details of the latter have been published. "On railroads stationary generators tan be used, giving from four to five times as much power from a ton of coal Is a locomotive. On ships the battery will be provided with a special appli ance which increases the current ttrength, so that a powerful current n be obtained from a small cell. As t result all the cells needed to propel s ihip will occupy a comparatively small jpace." Copyright. 1902. ty C. B. Lewis.) The Sage was sitting under a blue gum tree one day, reflecting on the l i n eflts to be derived from adversity when s young mun appeared before him and said: "O man of wisdom, I have come many miles to speak with thee nn crave advice. My name is Jones, and I am Cashier of the Seventy-second Na tlonal bank." And what's your trouble, Jones?' asked the Sage. "It is this: I handle large sums of money and fear that the temptation will some day prove too great for me.' "But you must withstand it." "I have tried, O Sage I have tried my best." "But you must keep on trying." "Alas, but it Is useless. I have al ready succumbed." "What' Thou art a thief?" exclaim ed the Suge. "I don't exactly know, and that's why I have come to you. If I stok $5,000, I'd be a thief, wouldn't I?" "You surely would, and despised by all men." "But if the sum was $100,000, O man of profundity?" "You don't mean that you got away with any such boodle as that?" "It is here. Am I a thief or not?" "Of course not not by a long shot. You are simply a Cashier who has gone wrong, and your tip is to settle with the bank for half the amount of the stolen funds. Y'ou enn leave a package of $5,000 for me on this shelf while 1 wander forth and reason on man's in humanity to man, and anything I can do for you after you get to Canada will be cheerfully done without extra charge."

Carmel c '. :i. A couple of winters ago I slipped on a frozen rdewalk ana fell flat on my tack. On being examined I found that I had sustained internal inju ries which laid me up for more than two months. After that I noticed that I had pains in the back and groin which I never had before. I doctored and doctored for several months but as the pains in creased instead of crowing better I decided that i was not having the right treatment. Reading in the papers of the wonderful cures performed by Wine of Cardui I wrote to one of the parties and received a very satisfactory reply and I immediately sent for tome. In a very short time I felt generally better and after seven weeks faithful use I was once more well and strong. I have never had a sick hour since and I .daily bless your splendid medicine.
