SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1910. NOTORIETY VS. MERIT Dr. Stiles the self-appointed guardian of the health of the southern people generally who claims that an alarming percent of the Souths population have the hook worm, breaks out this morning with a statement that virtually 5 per cent of -45 cotton mill operative- in Rockingham. X. C, who work in three mills there have this disease. We be lieve this is a statement that il the searchliglit l scientific re search were employed to exphxle it could be easily done. We be lieve also that there is more no toriety in the statement tor Dr. Stiles than there is truth in the situation. We have always thought that the so-called eils of the hook worm oc cupied a limelight position and carried with it a minimum ol the real merits ,i the true situa tion. HAS SERVED NOTICE.

Tlie associated press dispatches lias the following: "Col. Roose velt dominates the thought of all Cairo. Every one is watching his movements and his sayings are of intense interest." Just so! The world at large knows from exper ience his militant aggressive spir it and his wide influence upon the people with whom he comes in contact. To know him is to like him.

THE EASTER LILY THE Illy la regarded at a alut amoug flowers, und (lie rensou lilies are so largely used In tbu decoration of cliurcbes la not oulj' because tliey are tlie most perfect of floral types, bui because of tbeir symbolic uiennlnc One beautiful old 11 let about lie Illy relates tbat tlie candidates for the Xlrslii Mary's bund after liavln; sought tlie Lord's blessing each lei I bis own staff In tlie temple In Ibc iveulug. Tbe next morning tbe dry rod of Josepli was found green una blossomed with Illy Mowers. Another pretty legend Is that Mary on her way to the temple plucked a Illy, iiik upon press I iik It to her breast It became v bite "l.lly of the Virgin." ".Madoiii.fi flower" and several othei mystical nr.mes wpre j;lven to the lily and have reference to this legend.

Just as be reached bis castle tho (run id In n spirit of tbe place wrest ed (he girl from bis anus. On the place touched by the feet of this Innocent maid sprnug tbe white Illy. This story U believed by the peasants of the Ham mountains, and every year bun dreds of thorn make n pilgrimage to the ensile to liebold tbe dazzling beau ty of the flower that flourishes there. Another German legend runs this way and relates to the "red" Illy: Once (be garden of Oethsemane wat full of flowers of all kinds and among them none so lovely as the splendid lily, with her clustering bells proudly upright. It wns evening, and tbe Lord came to walk In his garden. As he passed nloii each flower bowed before him, but wheu be came to 'he Illy her haughty head remained erect. letinnt In her conscious beauty. The Lord paused and looked at ber for a spcond She braved the mild eye of reproof, then slowlv bent her head. w hile blushes swept over her. Still 'be Lord's gaze rested on her. Lowe' lank her head, deeper burned her rlingon, then tear after tear welled ip In her Illy cups. At this th Lord passed on Wbun morning came all the flowers lifted their heads-all but the Illy, that once was white queen among them. Her bead remain ed bowed In shame. To this day she blushes over her sin of vanity, and the clear crystal tears of repentance still sway In tbe cups of the flowct that refused to bend before the Lord An Esstar Mlracl.
