Ii might be thought that this is ac counted for by their confidence in the teachers, but the frequent complaints ; and, criticisms that come to the ears of school offi- y cials show" that this is not the explanation. Their failure to visit the school .obviously comes as a general thing from indiffert ence, and this indifference, in view of the greatness of : the in terests involved, is astonishing. There are few men or jvomen who would fail to look after cat- . tie, horses and hogs they would want to see what kind of pasr ture, provender or grain they had, and yet - they never look to see what kind of a mental food their children are provided with nor in what mariner it is given. : There are several ways in which occasional visits to the schools would be fruitful of good "results. ; " . 1. The',parent3 would become better acquainted with the teach er, would feel a deeper interest in her, and would for that very reason be more interested in her work. When there were any peculiar1 dimculties . about the school, the community rould be -more likely to do what is need ful for the ; interest, and thus ' help to increase its efficiency: This in'turn. would tend to give a permanent stimulus to education al interests in the neighborhood. 2. The teacher would feel en couraged by the manifestation ol interest on .the; part of the pat-, rons, .The discouraged worker is always at : a disadvantage. When nobody feels J interest enough in his children's education to give an hour's attention to it during the year, it is no wonder, if "the teacher feels that she is working to no purpose. -:. 3. ' Such visitswould enable the parents to see what is needed in the school room to make the work - of the school more efficient. With in the last few -years there have been school houses in this coun ty so. open and so destitute of furniture thatthey wouldnothave been tolerated by the patrons of v the school for a single year, if they had ever been in them on a cold windy day. These houses would have been replace by bet ter ones much sooner, if the peo ple had takeii any interest inthe 1 matter. Their want of interest was- intimately.: connected with the failure of the people to see the inside of the school house. One form of apathy begets an other. : 4. Visiting a well conducted r school will recall the pleasant " recollections 61 our own school days arid will renew our interest ' in the education of our children, ( and of piir neighbor's children , The old war horse, when he hears -the once familiar bugle call, will show a desire to return to the battlefield.

There have been religious sects4 in the -world ' !who' taught that a' f.r-ue 38!3(awi.i9 ..VrOU snouia' aij wajrs carry -about with; h jfti WWh. face arii$a6bmy heart.

The life of thd ascetic finds no ericuriinent in the wor4'? 6f God. It is true that ihere j some things 'tha1;cairiiiemu ihg and the bible recognizes this fact, but self-inflicted pain and needless gloom are pot enjoined on the child of God. We should mourn over guilt till it is taken away, but when our 31ns are for given we should rejoice. When we are assured that God is our Father and is leading us along the way that is best for us when we know that He is our protect or and that he will supply all our wants that he will overrule all things for oar good, . we should rejoice. - . But -the- world often seems to be going wrong. Should we re joice when the enemies of God seem to be defiant and triumph ant when even our dearest friends are aliens, from God, and following the ways of eternal death? How can we rejoice when such conditions prevail? The answer is not so difficult as at first might appear. Evil-is often made to produce good re sults, and God is". able to make it so always. He makes the wrath of man to praise. Him.

Not a grain of real coffee in it either. Dr. Shoop's Health Coffee is made from pure toasted grains, with malt, nuts, etc. Really it would fool an expert who might drink it for coffee. No 20 or 30 minutes tedious boiling. Made in a minute," says the doctor, by Palmer, l)iggs & Co. Sold Craig for Governor A .Mr., Editor: Every - child "in North Carolina knows by this time . that the candidates are abroad in the land, shaking hands with old friends and smiling sweetly upon new ones and at no time in her history has the old state been impaled upon the horns of such a dilemma. . The sh ip of state would safely reach her desired haven of peace and prosperity if a little child should innocently choose either of those who seek the office of chief pilot. Many think that our governor should be one able, on great pub lic occasions, to lift the hearts of men high by the golden gift of eloquence, should be master of all social graces, and trained in the halls of our great schools In his recent speech at Rockingham the Hon. Locke- Craig v proved himself well able to fill the re quirements of those who demand in our highest official, eloquence, social ease and the culture ac quired from books, as well as the wisdom gained from contact with men and public affairs.

But yesterday a j woman, whose intellect equals her am ple girth, said that if a large wo man wants to be well ruled, gov erned, disciplined and trained, just let her entrust her life to a small man! Is not "our country" eternally femine? v It is alleged that the voters of Mr. Craig's district failed to sup port him for congress some few years ago. was it not 1 the vot ers" who condemned Socrates to death, and exiled . "Aristdes, the Just?" There be those who say that we have ', had oratory and "not air" enough of late years to blow the ship of State to ruin upon the reefs of Hatteras, and quote the well known Chinese proverb, "Not the cry but the flight of the wild duck, leads the flock to follow, " and others clam or, Do let us have a governor who can neither cry nor fly. " " DO you suppose that a man can attain the success that Mr.' Craig has won without a mastery over business affairs? fto one has heard whether he ever "split cord wood" or no c, but an axe is not the only weapon wherewith a man may fight poverty. ? True it is that Mr Craig is not the son of a home of wealth, lux ury and success. No man in America is born to public office; The years are hot many since his sad-faced, widowed mother went to Chapel Hill to support her family by taking boarders, thus giving her sons, an opportunity of education at an institution that claims as her sonsj the no blest - souls of North Carolina. Dr. Charles Philhps once wrote to a f riend: "I am so pleased to note the ' development of young Craig. He thinks for himself, is clear headed and independent; his mother will yet be proud of him " Many thousands of the youth jof our state had passed be tween the good old doctor and the blackboard, and he khew a man when he saw him.

MEN raptoY OF UNCLE SAM i'.'M' in Washington' One ih Eyeiy : Nine is a Negro Women Are ""V Numerous in departments 1 in Anf interesting fVbUllotin has been issued by the 'census . bu reau, which shovvs- in .concrete form the number, Of- civil service employes of the government and all facts relating to tHeh it ( was determined to nave tne census : bureau make detailed inquiry into the '' subject with a view 'tb preparing statisiics. that rould be valuable 3 drid 'accurate. The returns." f rpln, , thaianguiry have been complied carefully and With interesting results. ,The total number of employes in the eiecutive c vil service ot the gOY: ernment.onl July i, 1907, exclu sive of those employed in the di plomatic and consular services, was 286,902. These employes are scattered all over the world, but about one-tenth of them 29,103, to be accurate iare em ployed in the city of Washington in the various executive depart ments. A large number of "employes of the government, under the civil service regulations, is not included by the census bureau in its inquiry, because of the dif ficulty in obtaining the exact status of the people. These in cluded postmasters, navy-yard employes, mechanics and people employed on the isthmus of Pan ama on the canal. Eliminating these, the total number considered by the census bureau is 185,874. Of these, 25, 351 are employed in the District of Columbia, and 160,523 in oth er parts of the country or world. It is a curious fact that, while the number of employes in the District of Columbia is only about one-sixth of the total number, the number of women employed in the city of Washington ex ceeds the number employed in all other . parts of the world by 895. The total number of wo men 'employed by the govern ment in Washington is 7,358, while only 6,463 women are em ployed elsewhere. . In the city of Washington, one government employe in every nine is a negro Of the number employed- by the government, 83 per cent, are native ; whites, and 6 per cent, are colored. Of the colored, 8,352 are negroes, 142 are Chinese and 62 are Japanese It must be borne in mind, of course, that these are civil ser vice employes. Many others, are employed in other branches -of the government service. ' , o One-half of the employes are under 37 years of age. In the city of Washington the average limit is slightly higher being 38 8 years There are 137 per sons in the civil service employ of the government who ' iare , 80 years of age and over The old employes, nearly all; are located in Washington, although there are a few elsewhere. . ; ! ' The average compensation of the men employes in the District of Columbia is $1,178; of women; $837. In other places; the com pensation is $935 for; menpand $766 for women. The figures show that the women'do not rate as high in the service as the men.
