As Chesterfield alone Via a 1 Odd Wnndmpn. a cmfiat crowd mav be expected. ' ' : Sail, Ho ! The steamboat excursion down the Pee Dee river July 7th, is well worth coming to Cheraw if for no other at traction.

HOW HE WAS SPOOLED Trying to Find Out How to Spell -. a Name j Be it known- that there is in Lynchburg,; Virginia; a mail or der . house called ; the Lazarus Company: or, Lazarus is the proprietor or something or other where his name is used in'sending for afew gallons. So it happen ed the other day in Danville that a strong prohibitionist -was walk ing down a principal street and saw an erstwhile toper sitting on his front porch poring over a Bible. The erstwhile one seem ed much interested.in the pages of the sacred book and was pro foundly struck with the situation. He exulted. He saw that his good ; wor k had already x borne iruit ana- tne ; saloons naa Deen but one week gone. He saluted Lis neighbor and said: "Well, I am glad to see this. It fills my heart with joy and doubly so when I; know I took such a great part in the election. But a few weeks ago my friend, and you were lined un with the thiifS and the gamblers, and V today, under f this beautiful reign of .prohibi tion you are at your home, you are seated pn your front porch reading that sacredjbook indeed this is joy enough for all the years. I take it that you are now studying His word in order that you, like the city, may be regenerated-. .' ' The old pilgrim on the porch replied sayings - 'Hit ain't the divine word of which I am read-, ing, but I nr a-trying to fine out how to spell Lazzarus as I am short on likker and was wanting to git off an order to Lynchburg on this here next train. . ; And the man who saw Regen eration on this porch went softly on his way he looked into the heavens where the angels dwell -he gazedout on the beautiful landscape which God bad formed and fashionedhe drank in the perfume of the wilpV flowers that peeped, at him -witE saucy eyes from the old fences along the way he recalled that from the dust of earth man was made-rand a whisper that was lower even than the soft south wind that deftly touches - his peruna painted cheek a whisper that even the angels failed to hear, he said Wellf-Pll be d-- - ."-Everything, -"v ; v BEST SALARY IN JIIE WORLD Mining Expert Loses Seventy j five Cents if He Stops r to Say "Howdy." State Normal and Industrial - We desire to call attention 'to the , advertisement of, the State Normal ; and Industrial . College which appears in, this issue. Every year sees a steady growth in this great institution devoted uTthe higher education of the women of North Carolina. The Mclver memorial building pro vision for which was made by the last general assembly, is now in course of erection and will be ready for occupancy at the open ing of the fall term. " - . The college last year had a to tarenrollment of" 930 students. Ninety-two counties were repre sented. Nine-tenths of all the graduates of this instution have taught in the schools of North Carolina . . , . . ' ' The college dormitories are fur nished by the state and board is provided at actual coat. Two hundred appointments to the dor mitories, apportioned among the several counties according to pop ulation,' will be awarded to ap plicants about the middle of July. Students who may wish to se cure one of these appointments should make application before July 15th. What Reduction on Poll is Doing It is estimated that the recent decision of the Supreme .Court, which said that the poM tax shall not exceed two dollars, will cause Wilkes county to lose something like three thousand dollars. Last years more than twenty-six hun dred dollars was collected on polls in excess of the two dollar rate. The property rate is ninety cents Nand even this low rate would have been- reduced but for the decision. Wilkesboro Pati iot. .Mrs..S. Joyce, Claremont, N. H. H., ' writes : - V'Aoout a year go.

JXG. Fox. . w John Hays : Hammond, mining expert, stopped in the corridor of the office building at 71 Broad way, New York, the other day. co say now ao, you ao r to a friend. It cost him almost 75 cents. At the elevator he was halted by another friend who shook his hand and ate up almost $2 worth of Mr. Hammond's time. A half -minute wait for the next car taxed him exactly John Hays Hammond has just signed a five year contract with the" Guggenheims to give them his exclusive time and advice in mining schemes for $500,000 a year. .He is the bigges wage earner in the world. In five weeks he draws as much as the presi dent of the United States gets in a year.- The! average laborer makes $600 a year. , Mr. Ham mond makes that much in t wo and a half hours. " - ' "Until Recently Mrv Hammond worked for the paltry sum of $250,000 a year. It was whisper ed about mining circles that the Guggenheims ; thought that a .bit too much and were about to pare it down. Instead; they gave Mr. Hammond a 100 per cent raise f or hi's exclusive servicel. ; All the ; Guggenheims agree that Mr. Hammond is a model employee; He is so regular in his habits ; that they have never found it necessary "to put a time, clock at the'entrance of his office and he does not 'belong to any union . He works , six hours every day and gets strenuous sixty secr onds out of every minute. . ? ; -Mr. Hammond's knowledge of mineral localities and ores is said to be so exact that he can tell at a glance from what part of the world a specimen of rock comes He is what might be called a skilled workman He can do his work in a boiled shirt, sitting at his maghojfany desk. Once in a while he gets into a pnvate car and takes a trip to some remoter mining district, but mbst of the traveling is done by his assist ants" He is the court of last re sort and bis word a "yes" or a "no decides whether or not millions will be spent' developing the mining property. V ; The champion wage earner was born in San Francisco in 1855. Gold was in the air tfye county was swarming with 49ers. Young Hammond was raised on gold. He-prospected when big enough to .toddle. As ha grew he deter mined to study engineering. Hei studied in, the California schools and then came east and was graduated from the Sheffield scientific school at Yale. He then stu died in several German uni versities. ; " ' -j Returning to the United States geological survey and scoured the fields of. California, record ing its mineral wealth. At So nora, Mexico, he became, super intendent of -some silver mines and latter journed back to his na tive state, where he first set him self, up as a consulting mining engineer. He remained there un til gold was found in South Afri ca. Mr Hammond went to South Africa and met' Cecil Rhodes at Cape Town. "" . - 7 4 What do you want for your services?" asked Rhodes. "I'll start in on $60,000 a year," said Hammond. "Then take off your coat and start right in," said Rhodes. "We have a great "deal of .work todo."-- . In 1891 he almost got his head into a noose through the Jameson raid. With other ringleaderfr he was sentenced, to death fdrmigh treason. , After great- pressure was brought to bear on theSoers his sentence i was commuted to fifteen years imprisonmntr.But after a few; months ile was re leased upon : payinm afine ? of 1125.000; - i fe&C- ; Mr. : Hammond JshOt ahigh aver, but he livesjell.

Worth of 'Dogs. - A citizen of Concord township, in listing his taxes Mast week re turned three pigs at $2 each and five dogs at $20 each $6 worth of hogs -and S100 worth of does. While. Che difference in the num berand value of pigs may be con trasted with ; the jiumber and value of dogs unfavorably to the citizen aforesaid, he should dos sibly be given credit for - listing tne aogs tor taxation something that is rarely done. It should be said; however, that the purpose m listing them -was not so much a desire to pay taxes on the can mes as to secure for them the protection of the law. The courts have held that a dog is not property unless it is listed for taxation. . If it is listedthe own er can prosecute ; any onev who may do it hurt. Statesville land mark. - No Need of Suffering from Rheu matism It is a mistake to allow anyone to suffer : from rheumatism, as the pain can always be relieved, lieved, and in most cases a' cure effected by applying Chamber lain's Liniment. The relief from pain; which it affords; is alone worth many times its cost. It makes sleep and ;; rest possible.
