' Movement for preventing paper
waste have been successfully inaugu
rated in several of the larger cities,
nd Atlanta is the last one to adopt
the plan. In that city school chil
dren are gathering up the waste pa
per of all kinds. The paper-saving
contest inaugurated there includes the
saving of magazines, uespapers and
crap paper. The children take the
paper to their schools, the principals
of the schools sell it to the same deal
er, and the standing of the schools
in amount of paper sold is announced
at stated intervals. By selling to one
dealer the top market price is secur
ed. Money derived from the sale
of the paper is used by the school
principals in purchasing needed equip
ment not provided by the city govern
ment, such as playground apparatus,
phonographs, etc. The plan is one
which has been approved by the
American Newspaper Publishers' As
sociation and recommended by that
organization to newspapers through
out the country. Waste paper can be
used as a substitute for certain chem
icals used in the manufacture of
paper, and this substitution releases
these chemicals for the manufacture
of newsprint and other white paper,
thereby tending to lower its cost. This
plan might be adopted with profit in
Concord and other smaller cities.
A recent bulletin of the North Car
olina State Board of Health says a
late investigation made proves eon
slusively that that clergymen live
longer than other men. Those who
made the investigation attributes the
longevity of clergymen to their sim
ple life and says that the extra years
which the clergy accumulate are the
results of clean personal lives lives
of sacrifice and abstemiousness. If
they were drinkers, they would not
live long, if they were gluttons they
certainly would be short-lived, so
blessed with neither poverty nor
riches, they find wealth in the num
ber of their days of usefulness and
service on earth. The United States
Public Health Service sums up tbe
following rule for attaining longevity :
"Other things being equal it is the
man who leads the we'J-balanced life
who lasts the longest, whose work to
the end is uniformly the best, he who
neither over-works nor over-plays,
neither over-eats, over-drinks, nor
over-sleeps, he who maintains a stand
ard of simple healthy diet in moder
ation, who offsets mental work with
physical recreation, who is as honest
with his own body as he is with his
own business. When access comes to
such an one his physical and mental
condition is such that he can enjoy
in peace of mind and contentment of
body the fruits of his labors."
Mr. Wade S. Greene, a young news
paper man of Atlanta, some time ago
went to New York to work on one
of the great newspapers there. He
recently came, back home, and now is
authority for the statement that a
ragged bootblack in Atlanta can have
more friends and enjoy more real
human companionship than a million
aire in New York. The newspaper
' man ad Jed s ' . , '
: "Walk for hours on the streets
without meeting a soul you know, live
in a boarding house where you know
nobody, work 'alongside of men whose
names yon don 't even jenow T
or mine." '

Second Big Dam Will Be Built at tha
Falls of the Yadkin.
Albemarle, Doc. 28. That work on
the second big dam to be built by the
American Aluminum company at t lie
falls of the Yadkin about three mik's
below Badin is to commence upon a
big scale is evidenced by the l'a-t
that a double track of railw.iv is t
be continued down the river from
Badin to the falls. It is reported
upon good authority that the fina
survey for this road is now bein-:
made and that stakes are being driv
en preparatory to active construe
tion work of the road. The fact that
the road is to be double tracked from
Badin to the falls is conclusive proof
that the work is considered to be ex
ceedingly heavy. It is reported that
work on the construction of this new
extension of railway will be com
menced immediately and that trains
will be running three miles farthei
down the Yadkin just as quick as I.i
bor and material can place the track
in order. This will mean no doubt
the addition of several hundred ad
ditional workers on the big develop.
ment which is literally tearing up the
woods for several miles up' and down
the Yadkin river just east of the city.
Soldiers Mistook Horses for Some

announced in Jaurez tonight, "
- Mexican Consul . Soriano Bravo
said tonight that Gen, Jose Mnrgula,
commander at Juarez,-attributed last
night's outbreak to some loose hors
es which were wandering in the bend
of the Bio Grande. The American
guardsmen, General Murguia said, ac
cording to Consul Bravo, evidently
mistook the horses for hostile Mexi
cans and opened fire. A few shots
were probably sent from the Mexican
side in answer but only after the
Americans had fired first, in Murgu
ia 's opinion. Consul Bravo said he
heard on good authority that. Ameri
can regular army officers in the scene
confirmed , the i Mexican ; contention
that the guardsmen fired first,

Lincoln As a Cross-Examiner.
The story of how Abraham Lin
coln, when a young lawyer, made nse
of an almanac to prove the falisty of
witness s testimony and thus suc
ceeded in proving the witness him
self guilty of the crime has often been
told, but Lincoln's handling of the
case was so skillful that the story
is well worth repeating in detail.
A voiing man named Grayson had
been charged with the murder of an
other young man named Lock wood by
shooting him. Prom the evidence that
had been gften it apeared that Gray
son was guilty and that he would
surely be convicted. The principal
witness for the prosecution was a
man named Sovine who declared that
he was with Ixckwood at the time he
was killed and swore that he saw
Grayson tire t!ie fatal shot.
The mother of the prisoner tried to
get some one or other of the well
known lawyers in that section to de
fend ber Ron but she was unsuccess
ful. At length she gave the case to
young Lincoln who was then unknown
and untried as a lawyer, this being
his iirst case.
Everybody present at the trial was
utierlv amazed when the young at
torney for the defense sat quietly by,
said not a word and let all of the
witnesses go without cross-examining
them. When Sovine entered the box
to testify, however, Lincoln demon
strated to all hands that he knew ex
actly what be was about and that he
was an expert at conducting a cross
examination. Lincoln's questions and
t lie witnesses answers 'were as fol
lows: Lincoln And yon were with Lock
wood just before, and saw the shoot
ing? Sovine Yes.
Lincoln And you stood very near
to themt
Sovine No, almost twenty feet
away.
Lincoln May it not have been ten
feet?
Sov'ne No, is was twenty feet
awav.
Lincoln In the open field?
Sovine No, in the timber.
Lincoln What kind of timber?
Sovine Beach timber.
Lincoln Leaves ou it are rather
th'ck in August?
Sovine Rather.
Lincoln And yon think this pistol
is the one used?
Sovine It looks like it.
Lincoln Yon' could see the de
fendant shoot, see how tbe band
hull'.', and all about it?
Sovine Yes.
Lincoln How near was this to the
meeting place? (A revival meeting
was in progress in the community and
Iorkwood was on his way tc this
at the tin e of his death.)
Sovine Three quarters of a mile
off.
Lincoln Where were the lights?
Sovine Up by the minister's head.
Lincoln Three quarters of a mile
away ?
Sovine Yes. I answered ye twice.
Lincoln Did you not see a candle
there with Lockwood or Grayson?
Sovine No. What would be want
a candle for?
Lincoln How then did you see the
shooting?
Sovine (defiantly) By moon
light. Lincoln You saw this shooting at
10 o'clock at night in beech timber,
three quarters of a mile from the
lights, saw the pistol barrel, saw the
man fire, saw it 20 feet away, saw it
all by moonlight, saw it nearly a mile
from the camp lights T
Sovine Yes, I told you so before.
After this answer from the wit
ness Lincoln drew from his pocket a
blue covered book. The people in tbe
court room were now all keenly alert
and on tip-toe with expectation,
watching the lank young attorney
with breathless interest. The hook
proved to be a well-known almanac
When the court had granted permis
sion to use this as evidence Lincoln
proved by means of it "that on' the
night of the crime tbe moon was un
seen, that it actually did not rise un
til 1 o'clock the next morning.
Suddenly and dramatically he then
turned to the judge and asked that
Sovine be immediately arersted and
charged with tbe murder of Lock
wood, declaring that "nothing 1nt
a motive to clear himself could have
induced him to swear away so false
ly the life of one who never did bim
harm." . ,
f Sovine collapsed and at once con
fessed that he bad killed Lockwood
accidentally. , : .
