Points and Paragraphs of Things
Present, Past and Future.
Andrew Carnegie has been quoted
recently as saying that "it is a sin for a
man to die ricb." He has been quite
lavish in his gilts to libraries rnd
other things for -the benefit of tne
poor.
Rockefeller and Armour have also
made some very liberal gifts recently.
The world applauds these princes oJ
fortune for their benevolence, an i
properly so ; and their names will thus
b3 linked with an ever-widening stream
of good that is to flow from the wise
use of their great fortunes.
Some day, perhaps, men will cease to
regard all rich people as cheat-thieves
and rascals.
The Philadelphia Record gives the
following statistics showing that more
than half the inhabitants of the earth
are still heathen :
"According to the latest statistics,
there are 143,000,000 Protestants, 98,
000,000 followers of the Greek Church,
230,000.000 Roman Catholics and 176,-
000,000 Mohammedans. Ths popula
tion of the world is said to be in the
neighborhood of 1,500,000,000. Count
ing the adherents of the four great
religions of the world, and allowing
50,000,000 for the thousand and one
beliefs with comparatively small fol
lowings, there is left a balance of 800,
0G0,000 people who worship strange
gods, or practice curious rites in lieu of
religion ;such people as are commonly
called heathen, and for whose conver
sion thousands of dollars are collected
each week among th3 churches of the
civilized world.
Ex-Goyernor Philip Watkin3 Mc
Kinneydied at his home in Farm
yi He, Va., last week. He was greatly
beloved by his people and made a clean
-ecord as Governor of "The Old Do
minion.''' He loved hi- state intensely
and gave his best thought and service
for her interest.
The comments of the Richmond
Dispatch on the great love he Inter
tained tor his state sets up the reflect
ion that few people lovj their own
land and country too well.
It means more to be born and reared
on American soil than anywhere else
m the world ; and well may such men
as the lamented McKinney love the
state which gaye him such great citi
zenship. Wei! may we of North Car
o:ina love our state ; for it is through
her safeguards that so many things
are possible for as a compensation for
honest toii and a reward tor real
merit.
Rev. John Watson (Ian McLaren)
the notel Presbyterian and writer of
Liverpool, at a banquet in Philadelphia
a lew nights ajo mule two statements
that reop'e of thn country will regard
with interest. He was speaking before
th; Presbyterian Social Union; and
dl: issing the Church of England, he
saicl that "a clergyman in England at
the present time is called a pr!e3t. The
c?remonies oi the church are essential
ly Roman. The confessional is in lull
operation, and an effort is now being
made to compel children to confess to
priests, with absolution b3'ore sacra
ment, the same as in the Romr.n
Catholic Church."
- The following day Dr. Watson in
address! ug a body of ministers made
pleasing reference to the attitude of
the English people towards America in
our late war crises. He said :
"Every one on the other side rejoic
ed during the recent war for a just
cause that the -flags oi the two coun
tries were so often displayed together.
It is pleasurable to fee! that in defense
of the Anglo-Saxon race it is possible
that the flags and the navies and the
armies of America and Great Britain
may be together lor ono cause."
1 have been afflicted with rheum
atism for fourteen years and nothing
seemed to give any relief. I was able
to be around all the time, but constant
ly suffering. I had tried everything I
could hear of and at last was told to
try Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which I
did, and was immediately relieved and
in a short time cured. I am happy to
say that it has not since returned.

3)o Not Wait too Long Before
Making Effort.
NO FIRST PLIGHT NO GRACE.
BY G GROSVENOR DA WE.
Written for The Commonweatlth.
To Self-doubters: Mu?h good re
mains unperformed in this world
whether it gets done in the next, who
can tell? because of self-doubtings.
Good people, principally good women,
because of lack of confidence make no
attempt to utter the message that
stirs within them ; for fear forsooth
that the utterance will be imperfect
and their own delivery of it feeble.
Of course it will be. No great
thought without either preliminary
essaymgs and lalier polishings, ever
sprang full-armed for conquest from
the head of any one. The effect of
waiting until perfect work can be done
by us who shiink from publicity for
fear of imperfection or misjudgment,
is that what we might do we shall
still feel disinclined to do ; for each
year will see us with higher standards
of perfection in our own work and
therefore with just as much reason as
ever for refraining from what we
might do.
I met a few years back a middle-
aged Ph. D. whose soul was swallowed
up with purpose to help his day. For
years he had gone seeking more and
more perfection of outfit two years
there, four years h3re, etc., because he
felt that such and such a place would
give him exactly what he needed of
knowledge. But the further he went
the more-the vista of things unattain
ed before him, until, when I met him,
he was very unbapp at the idea of
never being quite ready to strike out
and do something. His intellect was
frying in the fat of his owu richness,
and he quite unaware of what ailed
him. Misery was over his counten
ance and deep-rooted within him.
What was ihe proper advice? Do
something, say something, work some
where, even if you are not quite ready
Three weeks ago I met him again. He
was working in the humblest sort of
way in one of the College Settlements
that now begin to dot the great cities
of the land He fairly beamed with
happiness. He was living out his
message having a very poor voice
with a peculiarity to it that was
unsympathetic and bending his great
intellect down to the needs of the poor
and oppressed. The wider scope will
come, as sure as the first wavering
flight ol the timorous fledgling leads to
graceful glidings.
Xo first flight no subsequent grace.
That is the rule for birds, atid it may
be a true one also for heads an.l hearts.
It is continued effort that leads to im
provment over the quality of the first
effort. But the first effort must be
made, imperfect, crude, unsatisfactory
though it may be. The fact that you
doubt yourself is no real sign that your
effort fails. Your message m:iy be
weak and your voice and heart so
quavering that the great torrent-like
stream of human life goes rustling
by without paying any heed at all
Yet who are you to Usurp the powers
of omniscience and declare that your
work fails? How do you -know? Some
creature weak aud shrinking like you,
may have heard while slowly circling
in an eddy or inaction ; and your words
will have forced that one out into effort
also. Who can measure results from
exertion, ro matter how apparently
trifling. I love to think that just as
matter never is destroyed in the econ
omy of this great world, but simply
changes its form ; so thoughts andjscts
go on in their influences and never die
If this is wrong, one of the chief props
of Itfu is gone. If this is riht, why do
yon stand there idling? Furthermore
as some human beings have greater
powers than others, but none of them,
if they are great-hearted, are content or
able to keep their powers and resul's
away from helping the great sum total
of human achievement, it should br
satisfaction enough for us who are
weak, if we have had a share in thrust
ing out into effort some one who need
ed the encouragement of our own feeble
beginnings in order to plume his own
wing3 for glorious might we cannot
by any possibility gather to ourselves
nil the results of what we do, nor even
get credited with them ; but be con
tent, no 'genuine work perishes, and
whether we are honored for doing it is
unimportant beside the more impor
tant fact that we could do it and did

regulate the world," said a genius. The
druggist handed nim a bottle of De
Witt's Little Earlv Risers, the famous
I little pills. E. T." Whitehead Jc-Co.
dT it, instead of shrinking back for fear
of imperfection.
Better a failure than no attempt at
all ; better any form of belief than no
belief at all ; better humiliation and
confusion of face at an intellectual
tumble than no first step ; better weak
ness that doe3 its best than strength
that selfishly shuts itself away for a
more convenient season. There must
rise to the open ear of all of us at times
the moan, the groan, the shriek of the
world as it demands from everyone ac
cording to his ability. That voice
must be heeded and our little best done,
or we prove recreant to the responsibil
ity of 1 lying. If we are to be surround
ed with comforts, and protected by
order and peace and justice ; if we are
to be carefully shielded from things
that are unpleasant and terrible ; let us
appreciate that these things all exist
beeause others just as imperfect in their
work as we maj be have done their
best, made their contribution and
pissed on. The thought of this little
message, th erefore, condenses itself
down to this lhat those who can c!o
and do not are selfish, that those who
want to do and therefore can do yet do
not are blameworthy ; that those who
take the blessings of life and make no
return to the world that now is for tbe
generous throwing in of effort bv thoe
who have gone before are vampires.
They draw strength from those who
rest from their labors, and the world
E333 no result of that strength.
Finally a more pleasant word. Eycrt
though some feeble birds do occasion
ally feed hungry cats, try the wings of
your power. Ye pre more precious
than sparrows and the cats that affright
you are only your own imaginings.
A Success That Counts
Exchange.
"I may not have achieved anj-tbing
great in my life," said a woman, the
other day ; "but I have brought up
two daughters who never talk about
their pains and aches."
"May be they hayen't any," ventur
ed a woman who enjoys poor health.
"Oh, 1 fancy they have their sharc,"
resumert the first woman, placidly
"One tins an enormous dentist's bill
and they aie documentary evidence of
a certain amount of suffering, don't
you think? The other is anything
but robust, constitutionally ; but she is
seldom ill, because the takes good care
ol her heilth, instead of talking about
it. I don't think I haye been an un
sympathetic mother, and I fear I'm
not made' of Spartan material ; but
when my girls got old enough to talk
about headaches and toothaches and
ailments real, exaggerated, or imagi
nary I made up my mind to discour
age it at once. I refused to listen to
accounts o! mysteiious aches and sensa
tions, when I had reason to believe
they were the outcome of too much in
trospection and too little exercise.
Fresh air and occupation were the
prescription for headaches and bad
temper, and a bread and milk supper
and early to bed was the treatment for
other ailments. Real illness seldom
corner unheralded, and whr n ev es keep
bright, pulses regular, and appetites
good, there is scarcely anything that
cannot be cured by witch-hazel or a
good sleep. We are a busy family, and
there was seldom an hour of dreaming
for tbe girls. They had plenty of
pleasure, but it was active and jolly,
rather Lhan leisurely. They never Ot
into the summer-piazza complaining
habit, because they were always play
ing tennis, or sailing boats, or reading
books. I suppose iheir education has
been sadly neglected as far as fancy
work is concerned, but the hours that
most women ppend over fancy work
are, in my idea, like thos3 hours after
dinner which Thackeray says women
always spend in discussing their dis
eases." THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE HUM
BUG. The Charleston News & Courier
gives tbe following :
Christian Science is again on trial
in Washington, says Mr. W. E. Curtis,
because of the death cf the two chil
dren, aged 6 and 4, of William G.
Grabbe, leader of a Christian science
congregation. He discovered when it
was too late that the Christian science
method of treatment is not effective
with uiphtberia.The children died a few
hours after a doctor wa3 called by tbe
distracted family,and the father is now
in the hands of the police. He declares
lie no longer believes in the Christian
science doctrine, that he has learned
it will not heal such diseases and the
only charge upon which he can be held
is practicing medicine without a li
cense. J. Sheer, Sedalia, Mo., conductor on

TIME IS OUT.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28.
SENATE. Of bills passed by the
Senate we note : To authorize Rocky

To enlarge the limits of Roxobel.
To amend the charter of Hobgood.
To enlarge the limits of Coleraine.

To allow Tarboro to issue bonds for

HOUSE. One of the main features
before the House was the election law,
which was passed.
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1.
SEX ATE. The separate car law
passed the Senate with only one dis
senting vote. That was Senator Hair
ston, who said he favored such a law
but would rather .haye no law than
the One passed by the House.
A sort of Pension Omnibus bill
pissed the House on its seyeral read
ings. It puts some two hundred old srl
di3rs and soldiers' widows on the pen
sion rolls. It was prepared by the
Committee on Pensions.
Speaking to this bill, Mr. Thomp
son, of Onslow, said the committee had
decided that it was better to pension
the old veterans, and thus help a large
number of needy people than to m
creasa the appropriation to the Sol
diers' Home to the same amount ; lhat
if this latter course were pursued, but
few old soldiere could take advantage
of it. But assisted by a small pension
many of them eaa live comfortably at
home or with their friends and rel
atives. All of them couldn't come to ths
Soldiers' Home, and he dida't want
them to have to go to the poor house,
hence the bilK
Mr. Williams, of IroJell, objected
on the ground that the Veteran Asso
ciation did not desire that this course
be pursued. They wanted all pensions
to corne through the regular chan
nels to ba passed uo:.-i,- the - Pen
sion Board.
Mr. Carra-vay thought this meth.xl
of putting old soldiers on the pension
roll much better than having the reg
ular board to do so.
"Why sir. I've known that board to
put men on that pension roll that de
serted in the face of the enemy."
Mr. Mcintosh, of Alexander, sug
gasted that the bill go over on the
third reading tor further examina
tion. The House didn't care to h ive any
postponement, and so passed the bill
Another bill of the same kind was
passe 1, putting abxit twenty oil sol

THURSDAY, MARCH 2.
SENATE. The Senate passed the
election law as passed by the House,
which is printed on second page of
this issue.
Private bills were passed In consid
erable d umbers.
House. The most interesting fea
ture of the work of the House was the
consideration of the case of the Wil
sons, suspended railroad commissioners.
It was a joint session between the
Senate and House and lasted until 3
o'clock in the morning.
Maj. J. W. Wilson was reinstated ny
vot? of 83 to 56 and S. Otho Wil
son by 74 to 56.
FRIDAY, MARCH 3.
SENATE. Along toward the quiet
end of the afternoon when most of the
bulky calendar had been disposed of,
when tbe galleries were empty and
only a working number of Senators
were present, there was one of the
most interesting half hour of the ses
sion, illustrating how tangible is the
influence of the plainly great man who
has liyed, while he has lived, close to
his people. Th3 m ltter came up
quite unexpectedly.
Senator Speight introduced a bill to
appropriate $3,000 toward a bronze
statute of Zebulon B. Vance to be
placed on capitol square. He said the
Vance Memorial Association had al
ready collected 2,000 for the purpose
and asked the State to help in the
memorial.
Senator Franks, who is usually

much more inclined to be humorous
than otherwise, spoke first for the bill
his eyes filled with tears while be ap
pealed to Senators to thus commem
orate "the State's greatest citizen."
He declared that he stool ready at all
times to do anything to perpetuate the
memory of Zebulon B. Vance. Vance
had fed him whenhungry and clothed
him when a naked Confederate sol
dier. He was the greatest man North
Carolina bad ever produced He
wished the appropriation were $10,000
instead of $3,000.
Senator Speight asked that the bill
be put On its immediate passage.
Senator Williams said, like the Sen
ator from Swain, he was too full for
utterance. The first vote he had ever
cast was when he was 16 years old and
it was for Zebulon B. Vanes. No man
should yote against the bill.
Senator Butler said it was always a
pleasure to hear the name of Vance ;
he had always field up Zebulon B.
Vance as an exemplar to the young.
Senator Cocke said that no vote of
his had been cast with more pleasure
than the vote lor a monument for
Zebulon Vance, who lived to reflect
honor on North Carolina. No man
in North Carolina had done more for
the interest of the commonality than
Vance. Speaking through her repre
sentatives North Carolina would be
ungrateful to his memory not to pass
the bilh
Senator Hicks said that ai Vance
climbed higher and higher he held his
place in the hearts of his people. He
had asked that when he died he might
be carried bade to where he could
overlook North Carolina.
Senator Glenn said he only regret
ted that the appropriation was not
large enough. He had known
Vance when he met an intellectual
giant in the campaign of 1876. To
North Carolina he had been true in
days of war aud in days oi peace.
North Carolina had never shown her
loyalty to his memory by the erection
ol a monument to one of the greatest,
truest and best of citizens.
Senator Smith said be was a mem
ber of the Legislature of 1S95, when
the vote was taken for the Confederate
monument on capitol square. When
a man did well it was right Jo honor
him in lie ; when he bad passed away
it was a duty to preserye his memory
to posterity. It was pitiful to tea Low
little North Carolina hai done for her
great doad. It was fitting that the
memory of the great commoner
should be preserved, the man whoje
history ior years was the hislory of
his State.
Senator Bryan said no words could
do justice to the memory of Vance.
He rose to say that if a monument
was to be built to such a man build a
worthy one. He had asked that an
amendment be sent up to raise the
amount to $5,000. Build a monument
worthy of Vance an. of the hon r of
the State.
Senator Fuller said he did not rep
resent the wealth of North Carolina,
but he represented the gratitude.
Vance had passed the quivering bars
of sunset. A monument should te
built to him around whose base grate
ful hearts might gather.
The resolution was unaniwousl"
adopted by a rising vote.
HOUSE. The school law was dis
cussed at length without any final
vote. The old law of 1893 teemed to
be favored by some.

"Who Am Z Anyhow V
A gentleman of Bertie related a case
something like the following which
we clip from the Windsor Ledger :
"I married a widow who had a
daughter. My father yisited our bouse
frequently, fell- in love and married
my step-daughter. Thus my father
became my son-in-law, and my step
daughter my mother, because she was
my father's wife. My step-daughter
had also a son ; he was of course my
brother and at the same time my grand
chila, for he was the son of my daugh
ter. My wife was my grandmother
because she was my mother's mother
I was my wife's husband and grand
child t the same time ; and as the hrs
band of a person's grandmother is his
grandfather, I must be my own grand
father." For a quick remedy and one that is
perfectly safe for children let us recom
mend One Minute Cough Cure. It is
excellent for croup, hoarseness, tickling
in the throat and coughs. E.T. White

Forty Square Miles of Wheat
N. Y. Dispatch.
What is said to be the largest wheat
field In California, is now being
planted in the grain that makes the
staff of life. It covers over 25,CfX)
acres, or forty square miles. This en
ormous field of grain is located on the
banks of the San Joaquin river, in Ma
dera county. The field is part in Fres
no county and part in Madera county.
Clovis Cole is the man who is put
ting in this vast acreage, and he has
undertaken one of the largest jobs
that any man has yet done in Cali
fornia. While it is true that larger acreages
of wheat have been planted by certain
ranchers in this state, there seems to
be no record of an exact parallel to
the present case. On the Miller &
Lux ranch in Kern county, 50,000
acres were planted oue year, but the
fields were scattered about in different
places. There was really a series of
fields, located wherever thoio was a
fertile spot. Few of the fields were
2000 acres, acd in many instance there
would be half a mile of bare land be
tweci ibeiii. 'Lhe acicac' plVtaled
could not be called a wheat field of
50,000 acres, any more than all tho
wheat fields in the state could bo class
ed under one head.
The Clovis field, however, is an ideal
wheat field. It is almost as (Lit as a
flor, with a gentle slope, toward the
river The outer lines of the field
make it almost a perfect square. l'Jacli
side is a little over six miles, and if
the day is clear every part of the field
can be seen from any other part. It will
be a beautiful eight worth seeing when
all the grain is up and waves gently in
tbe breezes of springtime. There are
no roads through the clovis wheat
fijld. It is to be one solid stretch of
grain, and every square loot of land is
to be utilized.
The grain will all mature at about
the same time. Then will ccme the
Herculean task of havestins.
As the season of the year when pneu
monia, la grippe, sore throat, coughs,
colds, catarrh, bronchitis anl lung
troubles are to be guarded against,
nothing 'is a fine eubetiiute," will
"answer the purpose," or is "just as
good" as One Minute Cough Cine.
That is the one infallible remedy for
all lung, throat or bronchial troubles
Insist vigorously upon having it if
"something else" is offered you. K. T.

worth a one-eye button to her husband.
It isn't a guess. It isn't exactly writ
ten in the Bible, but it is written large
and awful in the miserable life of a
misfit home. I'm talking for the boys
t lis time. If one of you boys come
across a girl with Ler face full ol roses
who ?ays as you come to l he door, 'I
can't go ior thirty minutes, for the
dishe are not washed,' you wait fir
t:i. t girl ; sit right down oil the dot r
stap nd wait for her. Becaut-e eome
Oilier fellow may come along, and
c trry ber away, and right there you
have lost an angel."
