A man who does forcible work must dismiss a subject front bis mind, when ne is done with It iTbls increases the grasp and power of the mind and keeps it clear for concentration upon the thing under consideration. Nothing can be accomplished vrlth half a mind; you must concentrate or focus all your powers upon the thing you are doing. This you can never do when things by the score are half settled in your mind; continually obtruding themselves for consideration, and hindering the thought of present problems. When you have nuythlng in hand. settle it Do not look at it. lay it down, then look at something else and lay that down also, but settle things as yon go along. It is a thousand times better to make sn occasional mistake than never to settle anything, but be always balancing, weighing and con sidering many things at a time. It Is vigorous thought which counts. A subject which is handled, so to speak, with the tips of the mental fin gers, never amounts to anything. You must seize and grasp with all your might the thing you are attempting, and do it with vigor and enthusiasm, if you wish to bear the stamp of su periority when completed. Another defect In your work,- which arises from the faults I have mentioned, is failure to complete things. Your work bears the Impress of Incompleteness, and seems always to lark something. If you could overcome these defects you might be successful, for you really possess great ability, but luck deflnite ness. ' Evidently your mind has not been traitM to exactitude. There has Lorn cnrelcssness in your education somewhere. It may be partly the fault of yoiir teachers or your parents ltwrfc calling your attention in early Hre to these deficiencies. If this bad been done the task of correction would have been easier than it is now, but the faults may still be overcome If proper diligence be used. I hope, for your own sake, that you will set about it with determination. Success. PICKINGS FROM FICTION. She took on mighty few airs for a pW son In mournin'. "Lovey Mary."

Knowing that Gaston county is under prohibition and that it is one of the most prosperous counties tn the State, the editor of The Commonwealth ad dressed a letter to the Gastonla Gazette and asked him what Influences prohlbl tion has had on the prosperity of his county. Editor Marshall is one of the bright est and best and purest men In the State and here is his reply: "To the Editor op the Common wkalth: "I came to Gaston county in 1890, perfect stranger: Shortly afterward aa a delegate to the congressional con vention which met In Wilkesboro, I was introduced to other delegates as hailing from this county. 'You from Gaston?' exclaimed the hospitable strangers with cordiality. 'Well, come right down into the basement with me you want a drink, I know.' "That was 11 years ago. Now when a Gaston man is Introduced abroad the stranger says, not 'Let's take a drink, ' but, 'How much stock will you let me take in your new cotton mill?' "twenty and twenty-nve years ago Gaston county had a State-wide repu tation for the number of prolific distill eries. Today, without a single dis tillery, Gaston Is the leading cotton mill county in the south, and, point ing to her 30 busy factories, is able to say, 'I have found a better way.' "Twenty years ago Gaston had bar rooms, distilleries, 14,000 people, 12, 000,000 on the tax books. . Now she has prohibition, 30 cotton mills, 30,000 people and $8,000,000 on the tax books In your contest for prohibition in Sootland 'Neck, which arouses the interest of the State's well wishers everywhere, you are going to find the man who says: "Better go easy about this; you are going to hurt the town's business." . When you find him, point him or ship him to Gaston county We'll send him back converted or keep him as a curiosity. "As the county has grown in pros parity and population, the prohibition sentiment has grown with It. And vice versa,'- as thr-whiskey evil vanished and the money .went into factories, prosperity has - blossomed and the songs of contented labor have taken the place of rioting and revelry. "What is back of all this prohibi tion sentiment? The ministers? Yes. The good women and church members? Yes. Is that all? No. Who else? The business men, the manufacturers, the capitalists. j Why? Because in operating the fac tories they wanted the best help obtain able, and they knew that red eye and reliability, corn liquor and good char acter couldn't Inhabit the same hide together. And falling right in line with the idea, the operatives, and bosses, and; clerks and bookkeepers, and the rest of us, are all for prohibi tion,' too.

Editor: In the case of State against Zack Morris for larceny and receiving stolen goods I was un able to agree wiih my fellow jury men that Zack was not guilty. I dissented from their opinion because I could not set aside the direct testi mony of Mr. Add Dawson, a man of the best of character, as can be fully shown. Mr. Dawson said that the ne gro admitted to him that he stole the corn, and since I have been released from jury duty I have visited the prem ises and found evidence tending to confirm Mr. Dawson's testimony.
