It Is also reported that the Japanese h tve retired from some of their sonthern po sitions. Apparently the advance on Llao Tang has beea began, and the Jitps are moving Into the fortiflcstions vacat ed by the Russians. Newspaper Borrowers. The Free Press If a modest sheet in Its way, yet It flatters itself that It Is worth something. It certainly coats something to get It oat, and nnless 'the money we put into It Is lost In the ge ne ral snake up the output should be wo rth a considerable sum. At least we don't consider the Free Press deserves the fete of being eit her borrowed or stolen or put st the me rcy of the deadbeat. Yet it is subjected to thsse three dangers. Let's hare a reformation in this mat ter. If the paper Is worth reading It is worth ths moderate amount we ask for It. Klnston Free Press. The Reflector feels like saying some thing along this same line. A heavy drain on a paper Is Its borrowing c oo- stltuency, and there are many aroumd Greenville who come under this clrtss. Doubtless those who borrow and res d a papsr think It a email thing and per ft ict- ly legitimate, but ia doing so they tare appropriating just that much of the pa ter's capital without giving any return therefor. If all readers were paying subscribers the papers would be ena bled to maks more improvements, lad eveoy one who reads ought to be willing to pay me email subscription prici Greenville Reflector. What a Hospital Does. Dr Joseph A kerman reports to Bo etsV of Managers of the Jamas Walker Memo rial Hospital that the month of July was one of the most prosperous since the Ha ttitntion wss established. A larger nwm tier of patients were treated than In itny previous month and altogether It use oae of the beat monthly periods In the hospitals history. This Is vsry gratify lag news and ths whole community will be glad to hear It. Not that wo rejoice st the amount of affliction which brl.ags about this prosperity, bat our happia i comet from the feet that those who sire affile tad are coming more and more to nse the hospital as a mesne of recovery. The hospital tn oar mind is the greatest Institution in the city of Wilmington. It Is a place for the poor man as well as the rich man, an Institution for you and for me. The public is coming more and more toe proper appreciation of the hospital. The Institution Is being now looked est la Its proper light, a great benefactor for the relief of physical tuf-fsring.-Wilmington Dtspatefa. BETTERMENT PUB LIC SCHOOL HOUSES Slgrested Readings Compiled by New BOB Associa tion. The Widening Horizon. As man in the early stages of his race made his axcursloas from home over sreas of constantly widening circlet, so the child In his culture should have the wide angle watch sweeps the entire realm commanded from hfs point of view. At each successive stsge his vis ion comprehends the same things as in ths preceding, but fsrtber and more mln ately and more relstedly. His central position Is still the same, but hit exper ience le wider, hit comprehension more extended, end his generalization more grasping. If this Is true, then the child Is not hurt by trsvel through much of the world, by contact with the elements of all Nature as they appear to him, oi by rich association with those, who will lift him Into higher Industry and Inven tion. From the centra outwsrd must be ths inquiring look. The horizon is con stantly widening. The gaze may not cover the entire circle, but It tees over the sane territory as before, but fsrther and belter. Prom An Ideal School; or, Looking of D.

I note that a ' Craven County Demo crat" says why this haste to lease tho Atlantic roadf I did not know that there had been any haste about It. The politicians have bad it in charge for about fifty years, looks like we have let them have a pretty fair pull at It. Wby Mr. Craven County Democrat, wev'e let you politicians hive a pretty good thing of it. We have been paying on the stock for long years, now we wsnt some of It back,our stock hat only s speculative value. (All non dividend paying stocks have only speculative val- Lease it, and we get a reg liar Income from It, and our stock has a market val ue, par or over, I think that the tax pay era of this county would be very glad to get tome returns, something back for all the money they have paid out. Dollars to doughnuts, that Craven County Dem ocrat has a free pass over the Atlantic road. CRAVEN OOUNTY DEMOCRAT NO 2 Atlantic & North Carolina Railroad. Some tlx years ago when Judge Rus etll wss Governor of North Calolina, t proposition was made to the State to sell itt stock In the A & N 0 R R to a Mr Edwards living near Sanford, N 0 at $25 per share. Several newspapers in different sections of the State were delighted at the Idea that the State would obtain $25 per share for 12,000 shares of stock, and thereby receive $800,000 for a property which its Inter est In it cost the State one and one qnarter million dollars. Mr Edwards had lawyers employed from nearly every section of North Carolina who went to Raleigh and Insisted upon the Legislature accepting this proposition. Lawyers went from New Bern to Raleigh In interest of Mr Edwsrds recommend ing to ths Legislature thst this propo sition be accepted. Bnt the Democrat ic Legislature waa too well informed to be gobbled up in that sort of a way. That 12000 shares of stock has doubled In msrket value in the lsst six years though If Mr Edwards, could hare bought It at that time for the prioe he offered, no doubt some of the same persons and newspspsrs who advocated its tale at that time, would think today that It wss s good thing for the Stste. A prop erty thst has Increased In value like this and is of such, a vastth tuo Is country, ought not to be, turned loose, unlets the Stste gets a good price for It At the rate this country is now improv ing and Increasing in population, the stock ought to again double In market value in less thsn tlx years.

Judge Stunchrleld of Ehuira, N. , speaking of literal men, tells a story of shock he had In a case in which he was recently associated. Several wit nesses had sworn there was a hole in a certain road. Then, to the surprise of counsel, tho principal witness, a farm er, on whom they mainly depended to establish their case, swore there was no hole In the road. After Mr. Stanch field and his associates had recovered from their astonishment they sought to draw tiie witness into some explana tion of the remarkable testimony. What they eventually got was this: There wasn't any hole In the road. Here's my hat If I Jam my hand Into the top of It without pushing It through it does not make a hole. It makes a dent. That's what was In that road Just a dent." New York Times. HU Taate Was Going-. Archbishop Farley of New York, who has recently been visiting tho Vatican, finds that Pope Pius has a keen sense of humor and reports that he en joyed the following -story: Con Cree- han's father, being sick, was making his will, and, In order that he might have strength to do so, was given a drink of liquor by Con and n group of neighbors. Toward the close the dying man said to his son: "Ah, Con, Con Just touch my lips ouco more with the Jug. Wisht, my son, you watered the drink." "No, indeed, father, dear,' while a low murmur chorused through the cabin, "but It's the taste that's lavln' ye." New York Times. Enemy of Political (irruption. Joseph W.
