He had re turned to his farm at Ecclesford about three miles from the city, where he had been purchasing goods, He had just stabled his mules when the flash came and killed them. The fight by the temperance peo ple to close forever the saloons of Asheville is to be an aggressive one, It is expected that the election will beheld some time in October. It appears that the temperance senti ment is growing there, and the be lief abtains that the days of the sa loon in Asheville are numbered. A matter that will be read with interest in connection with our next State Fair is the Raleigh Electric Co's decision to have a five cent rate to the grounds instead of ten cents as heretofore. There has 'also been double tracking laid along Hillsboro street leading to tho grounds ao that quick service will be assured. Hickory, July 5. But for a fatal accident that occurred late yester day evening, the holiday celebration here would have been an unqualified success. The victim was Dick Wat son, a cotton mill operator at Rhodiss 22 years of age, who, was assisting in raising the pole of the balloon, which broke and fell across his face, crushing it in and killing him in stantly. ' y -.'''.': Littleton, N. C, July 6.

He was taken to a hospital where he lived two hours. . ; ' take the Postmaster's Word. Mr. F. M. Hamilton, postmaster at Cherry vale, Ind., keeps also a stock of general - merchandise and patent medicines. Pesays: "Chamberlain's Colic, Cbolera and Diarrhoea Rem edy is standard here in its line. It never fails to give satisfaction and we cnuld hardly alTord to be without it." For sale by Nashvillo Drug Co. Hooa the toys Botao at Nltfht. . ' Some people think it a mystery that notwitstanding good advice their boys grow up to be wild and reckless young men. If these boys were taught from infancy that home was the proper place for them after dark, rather than prowling around the streets, annoying well and sick people alike, much of this , mystery might be explained, and young men with better moral character and more in teligent minds would be the result No parent heed expect pure morals in a boy that prowls the streets at night, even if he does go to Sunday school. Fort Mill Times.- Ceverament Wants Horses. The Drovers' JouVnal says that commission firms at the Chicago horse market have been solicited by the government to make contract bids to furnish calvary and artillery horses and mules for the army. Owing to the advance in prices the government is experiencing great difficulty in letting contracts for horses and mules to responsible deal ers. Bids which have just been opened show that prices generally have increased. For the calvary 725 horses are to be bought at an aver age price of $175 each. The artil lery corps is to buy nearly 350, for which $211 is the average price. Army mules heavy enough to do draft work bring $188 each, nearly 800 of these have been contracted for. Lean mules, somewhat lighter in weight bring $168, and pack mules still lighter, $13L It is said at the quartermaster's ' department that army mules are bought practically by the pound. Indiana Farmer. What Aboat Year Timber Crop. The facts in regard to our timber eopply HMwioiahlilrly. tmjivt : he coming of a ' lumber famine and should cause every man who owns a foot of timber land to do some curi ous thinking. - ' Thousands of our farmers have already sold their timber at less, than half its potential value and many thousand others are wantonly wast ing their substance through careless ness in handling their woodlands. The timber is a crop just as surely as corn or cotton or tobacco even ifyit does take a little longer to ma ture and for twenty-five years to come no other crop in America will increase in value one-half so rapidly. We must learn more about the proper management of our forests. We must adopt wiser methods of growing and handling our Southern timber crop. Progressive Farmer'. Yalae of Appreciation. Has it ever struck you what a sweetner of lif e Hes in a few words of appreciation and enconragement? How few of us take the trouble to stop s few moments and praise a servant for work well done, or even pause to tell our nearest and dearest how we appreciate all the daily serv ices which we have apparently never noticed. When our friends die we hasten to send beautiful flowers as a last ap preciation of our love .for them. But would it not be better if we had helped them by a little praise when they were working, or if we had cheered them in the dark days when they were troubled 'and suffering says Woman's Life. Only a few words of appreciation! The cost is nothing, but the recom pence is beyond price. Let the hus band tell his wife how much he prizes her love for him, and the wife tell her husband how truly she recognizes all his care for her: And the mother should reveal in words how much she values her children's affection, while the child who says to its mother,' "thank you for all your love to me," has rewarded her far beyond knowledge or under standing. - ' . . ' .' " ; ' ..' . Do Not Neglect the Children. At this season of the year the first unnatural looseness of achild's bow els should have immediate attention, The best thing that can be given is Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarhoea Remedv followed by-castor oil as directed with each bottleof the remedy. Forsal by Nashville Drug Co, " ThoPriatingFrois. The most useful all round invention to humanity is the printing .press. Generations ago some philosopher said: "In the world there is nothimr great but man, and in man there-is nothing great but mind." That is to say while there are many great things the greatest is mind. It in bv and through his intelect that man has risen to the mastery of the planet, and. whatever sharpens the intellect at the same time advances the world's civilization. This the printing press has done as nothmsr else has done. and therefore to the printing press belongs the honor of being the most useful all round invention known to man. New York Americ an. Keep Iverlastiagly At It. We once heard Joe Mitchell Chap pie, the editor of the National Mag azine, of Boston, say in beginning ah address, "Business is the genius of the age." A study of the activi ties of the present day will convince the thoughtful of the truthfulness of Mr. Chappie's statement. In whatever vocation one may be placed unless the correct principles of busi ness are applied no great measure of success will obtain .Publicity is the mainspring that sets all the mechan ism of any project in motion. What ever one may think about it, publici ty or the lack of , it, makes or un make any and every enterpise. The idea that many merchants have about advertising in the dull season is a false one. When others cease ad vertising because times are dull, then is the time for the progressive merchant to get the head of the procession, Keeping everlastingly at it brings success." Smithfield Herald. Something About Swindling If we are to judee by the thous ands of people who are being' dany swindled by the numerous get rich schemes that infest the country, the American people are becoming par ticularly easy. Almost every large city seems to be a fruitful field for the swindler's operations, and the poor dupes almost tumble over each other in their effort to get something for nothing or fabulous returns for a small outlay, which onyone of av erage intelligence ought to know was a swindle without being ap prised of the fact. Aside from this the press of the country is continual ly warning the people of the danger ous character of those swindling op erations and and publishing reports of thousands who have learned by dear experience of the fraudulent of so many-concerns in which they have intrusted their all. We would say it serves them right were it not for the fact that the victims in many cases are poor people who can ill af ford to lose their daily earningsin this manner. Greenville Gets Training School. Since the adjournment of the leg islature and it was a certainty that Eestern North Carolina was to have a training school similar to those which have flourished in the west and which have added materially to the wealth and aducational progress of that section of the state, there has been an active warfare between Rocky Mount, Washington, Green ville, Kinston, Elizabeth City and Newberne, which towns bave been endeavoring to capture the Eastern Training School. Recently the State officials visited the various sites and returned to Raleigh to. make up their deciesion. This matter was taken up in Raleigh-this morning and, after considering the many bids, the Committee decided in favor of Greenville, which place will now be the centre of interest along educa tional lines.
