Points and Paragraphs of Things Present, Past and Future. North Carolina is the birth-place of many old people. . Among the most notad for age is Xoah Raby who lives at Piscataway. X. J. He was born in Gates count X. C, April 1, 1772 ; so he celebrated his 127th birth-day April 1st. His eyesight is not good, but in other reepects he is said to be well. "Eastern Carolina will be a garden some day," remarked a Virginia gentle man to the editor of-this paper a few- days ago. He Las traveled much and is a man ot many and extensive affairs, and his observations count for some thing. He regards this section as T)ne of the finest in the South and expects to sea it flourish like a garden, be says, when our people learn their own poasi biiities aud let others know them. The sixteenth annual session of the Xorth Carolina Teachers' Assembly will be held at Morehead City, June 13th to 18th, This is the only meet ing that brings together the entire educational body ot the State, and it is important that all teachers who can do so arrange to attend. Railroad rates have been secured" at one-half and board can be had for a dollar a day. It is a fine opportunity for teachers and friends of education to meet and be mutually benefited. "Women are coming to the front," they sajr now and then ; and Xorth Carolina might as well lead aa any other State. It sounds up-to-date in matters industrial to see the announ cement that a lady architect has open ed an office in Raleigh and is now ready for business. "Miss Bonniwell, a .talented young architect, of Hickory, Tfa's bpened an office here," said the Xews and Observer a few days ago. If the young female architect can make her way in the world by building and preparing for others to build, it is commendable, and ?e say it is well nougb. From almost any industrial journal jrou take up, or any other kind, as for that, you may learn that great iterest is being felt and expressed about the material development of the South. Aud there are not wanting sure indi cations that the South is taking on new life, especially in the matter of cotton manufacture.. In this Xorth Carolina is not behind. The Commonwealth is still sur prised that Eastern Carolina should be so slow to manufacture cotton when it is the chief product of this section. Every county In Eastern Carolina ought to manufacture Its own cotton product. - The frequency of railroad wrecks has sometimes caused timid persons and those of more fearful disposition to hesitate about riding minh on railroad trains. Oft-times travel loses its inter est to such persons and it is not strange that it should. Doubtless many have wondered at the great number of wrecks and what could cause so many. It may not lessen the number ol wrecks, but it may be of interest to the curious to know that it has been work- id out by statistics - that seven- tenths of the railroad wrecks are caused by curves in the road beds. So if we could haye entirely straight roads we bould have no wrecks, practically. , Our esteemed contemporary, the Xotfolk Landmark, places us under obligations for its good opinion in call ing The Commonwealth- one of the most progressive weekly newspapers oi the Old North State ; but we are equally grateful for its good opinion of Eastern Carolina. Being yery near our eastern border and knowing, very much of tbis region of the State it truthfully says : H Eastern Carolina allows itself to be outstripped in the march of indus anii oh taiimen t by the western part of the State; it will not be because of any superior advantages possessed Dy the. wt, It all defends upon the en- erv and self-reliariye ot the people The tm xmm wways Bougm PRESENT DAITHOHGHTS About the Campaign of 1900. THE PHILIPPINES TO BE CON SIDERED. BY G. GROSVENOK DA WE. Written for The Commonweatlth. Who Said "Slaves?" A friendly editor writes me : "What have you to say as to the legal right of the Uni ted States to purchase 7,760,000 per bons and to govern them without the consent of the governed?" Just this : That the United States has as much right to purchase 7,000,000 people as it has the right to purchase one. But the right to purchase one is non-existent, so also is the right to purchase 7, 000,000. Just one other element en ters into this dictum : namely, that the United States has neither purchased one or 7,000,000. To so phrase the com pact between the United States and Spain In relation to the Philippines, is a perversion of terms that is quite too deep for the comprehension of the aver aged unbiased man. It seems now to be thoroughly un derstood that the question of expansion will be a very vital element in the next pres'dental campaign, and very fitting ly so, because it represents a policy that while not new in the history of the Uni ted States is new in this particular, that the expansion takes in territory that is separated by vast stretches of water from the Union itself. This is new in our history, very new ; and as all new things new books, new bonnets, new dresses, new babies are considered fit objects for comment and criticism there willnaturally not be a shrinking of eith- erjof the great parties from the fullest sort of discussion in relation to new politics. This is quite as it should be, for while In the multitude of counsellors there is wisdom, there is also . wisdom in the conflict of thought. The opposing notes prior to a great national election in this country re mind one strangely of the discords that characterize the few minutes prior to the beginning of a concert. Thesa dicords, however, subside when the con ductor weilds his baton, and they give place to the harmony that is possible with all the instruments. Thus is it with our paissant nation when an elect ion is decided. Remember if you will fierce leelings that seemed to run riot during the last presidential campaign. Excitement was so intense that wise men and brave men feared violence would be shown by whichever party was defeated. Remember, too, that two days after the election the excite ment-Jiad vanished aud feelings were quiet. Thus will it be in 1900-, no matter how fierce the feeling that may be aroused. But as I remarked last week, It is essential in order that this countrj may understand the full merits of tha question and in order to act intelligent ly, that certain details dragged in by writers as if part of the mam question should be clearly understood as having no connection with it at all. Such, for instance, as the institution of a like ness between the struggle of Aguinaldo and the struggle of George Washing ton. This we touched on last week. Now comes up the other one raised by the friendly editor ; a question so adroitly put that, unless answered em phatically and' eliminated from next year's discussion will make Americans appear to themselves as national traf fickers in human flesh.' In YanKee fashion this question .can .best be ans wered by asking another. When the United States yielded to its expansive impulses, earlier in the century, by the Louisiana or by other purchases that have made it what it is, are we to un derstand that the inhabitants of these regions became mere chatties of the United States? This question shows the trifling character of the other ; for while the United States was perfectly ready at time3 to defend its territorial rights in such purchases and has de fended ita rights by actual force where the transfer of the territory was opposed in any way, yet in no sense and at no time has it claimed to own the bodies of its new inhabitants. To gether, in all cases, the old inhabitants and the new, accepting the logic of the situation and with as little friction as possible have . worked out their own financial and political and educational salvation, very much to their own ben efit directly and very much tp the ben efit ot the United States indirectly. So long aa the spirit of the United States remains what it is and sddled be tbe brain that cannot see in the - Rheumacide is a tborouen, perma nnstitntionnl cure for rheum a tism.

With expansionists and anti-expansionists alike the thought of enslaving 7,000,000 people is abhorrent. Yet in a very true and utterly worthy sense, this mythical eomething made up of 70,000,000 restless units and yet posses sing a character of its own, does own us individually and so truly so that there never have beea and never will be lacking men to give up their liveu for the perpetuity or this something which is greater than we and more far- reaching in its power than us. V We should quit twaddling about terms that are misleading and about trifles that are not worth taking np and come to the really important facte of our political life, so that our thoughts, our acts, and our lives are giveu to the improvement of the day in which we live and of the earth on which we tread. Thus shall we do. The resto ration of peace to the tropical regions that are ours will not mean their en slavement but as far as possible their enlightenment, for each year sees among our people an increase of genu ine interest in the unfortunate and backward on the part of those who are fortunate and forward. Criticising The Pastor. BY REV. O. C. PEYTON. You maRe a -sad, pitiful and fatal mistake when you criticise your pastor before your children. By doing so you mar and destroy the influence ot your pastor over your children. If he is a true man of God, he yearns to be the means under God of saving your chil dren. He thinks and prays much about it. Try your utmost to help him to get an influence over your children, that he may lead them to Christ. I am sure your pastor's earnest de sire and purpose is to do you good. You can hinder his doing so. Let me briefly mention some of the ways : (1) By with-holding your confidence aud sympathy. If you do not place confi-J deuce in your pastor as a man and a minister, fce cannot help you. What you believe him to be in his character and life will re-enfoce and emphasize his speech. What a preacher is de termines the effect of what he says. Don't be looking for your pastor's faults. Be charitable and patient and give him your loving sympathy. His work is arduous and difficult. Sympa thize with him, pray for him, and he can help you. (2) By with-holding your temporal support. "God has or dained that he that preacheth the gos pel, shali live of the gospel." He de mands of you that when your pastor contributes to you in spiritual things, you shall contribute to him in temporal things. The Bible declares that the liberal soul shall be made fat. "Give, and It shall be given to you," are words from the lips of Jesus. If you permit narrowness, coyetousness and selfishness to rule in your life, you will sorely hinder your pastor from be ing of spiritual prodl to you. The re ligion that costs nothing is of little value. God has decreed that there shall be the closest connection between liberality in supporting His cause and true spiritual progress. You cannot thwart His purpose. (3) By not living the truth your pastor preaches. If your church is to be a real force in your community it must be through your Godly living endorsing, empha sizing and shpning the uplifting power of the gospel. Your pastor has the divine authority to stand before the people and claim for that gospel great and wondrous things. It can unstop deaf ears, open bund eyes, melt icy hearts, stir human lives, make men hate the carnal things they once loved, and loye the spiritual things they once hated, and even though their taients be small, it can make mighty men, in zeal and usefulness, of those who ac cept it, obey it and go forth to pro claim it to others. You can hinder your pastor from doing you good by his life, ministry and pastoral work by not living before men the divine truth he preaches. Maryville, Tenn. - A CLEVER TRICK.

MAKES THINGS TURN UP ANY HOW. The Cornucopia. We ran onto one the other day the genuine sort. 'Passing down the streets of Elizabeth City recently -u search of agricultural items we met a horse and cart manipulated by a colored driver, and when we say manipulate we mean it. Perhaps it could have been more appropriate to have used theword"ma neuyer," as it required considerable meuvering" to get along with the load he had on. He had a load oi corn just as it was cut from the field, the stalks were fully fifteen feet in length, and tbe great ears and blades were in proportion. The great stalks, two inches or more through at the but ends, were laid lengthwise until the cart, box or body, was lull, and then Ihe stalks were laid on crosswise to com plete the load, and the streets being somewhat narrow in places the long stalks practically had the right of way. Curiosity and a search after knowledge prompted us to lollow the load, which led us to the home of the city dairy may, where we found him cutting this long corn and storing it in a silo. We had a long and pleasant visit with him. He had taken up the silo question and solyed it by himself. He bought a second-hand fodder cutter and a second hand engine and rigged up his silo and belts and carriers, using good practical common sense had no one to show him, had to feel his way along, and for four or five years has successfully filled his silo with most satisfactory results. His cows, horses and pigs were all fat and plump. The stalks ot corn had from one to two mammoth ears to each stalk. Tbe kernels on the great col s were full-grown, just beginning to glaze, and they were nil cut right in with the stalks. The ingenuity ol this dairyman was equal to any emer gency, and he was running the ensil age matter just as easily and confident ly, as though he had invented the pro cess himself and had been practicing it all bis life. There is a big difference in men. Some have "gumption" and others are "gumps." Some are all theory, others are all practice. Some men can do nothing even with every thing in their favor. Others succeed with everything against them. Some men read fully and study carefully the theoretical part of the silage question, consult the owners of silos, hire skillel labor to build the silo, buy the most complete aud improved machinery, and then fail. Others pick np second handed machinery for part of their outfit and whittle the rest out with a pocket knife. The great ears, running about two and a half inches through at the butt, ten to twelve inches in length, with their great load of fully- formed kernels of corn, were cut right into the silo with the rest, and give, when fed, a grain ration witn the fod der. The entire process, from start to finish, was simple, cheap and yet effect- ve. With the silo in the hands of such men it is possible to keep more than one cow to the acre, giving her all of the forage she needs during the year and a portion of her grain ration. "Intensive farming" and more farmers with "gumption" is the great need of the hour. "Git," "grit" and "gump tion" are necessary things cr qualifica tions to have. The farmer needs them. Our Xorth Carolina Yankee will secure a grand success, simply because he is making ready for any emergency, even to "making whistles out of a pig's tail." Daniel Boone's Dream. Selected. In the pioneer day3 Daniel Bonce lost a companion in the Kentucky wil derness. He tailed to una him alter a prolonged search, but "never forgot the incident. The Louisville Post records the following account of a remarkable dream of Boone given by his grand daughter : 'Several years after the disappear ance of the hunter Boone went back to the woods where he had parted from his friend. One night while sleeping at his camp-fire he dreamed ot finding a human skeleton and a gun in a big hollow tree. The dream was o vivid that when the hunter awoke he still bad a distinct mental picture of the tree and Us surroundings, and believed bo could go to the spot. The hunter lay awake the rest of the night think ing about his dream, and as soon as day came started out in the direction his thoughts had taken when asleep. Tbe woods seemed familiar, as he had seen them in his dream, and the hunter walked on briskly, guided by the im- O Bsrsthe Signature The Kind You Have Always Bought pression the sleeping vision had leit. He found the big hollow tree just as he had seen it in his sleep, aud looking into the large cavity near the ground discovered a complete human skeleton and an old flint-lock rflle. . The ful fillment of the dream was so perfect that the hunter always believed- that he was guided in ttiis way to the re mains of his lost friend. He supposed that his companion got lost in tbe woods, and when night overtook him crawled into the hillow tree to sleep, and there died of some dissase. Had the Indians killed the man they would haye taken his gun." SEARCH THOU OUR HEARTS. Anne Virginia Culbortson. Search Thou our hearts, O Go Is, and see If this our strife be waged for Thee.

Arnchel, in Tbe Exponent. The school teacher is by no means the only person responsible for the ed ucation of our boys and giflg. By th( word "education," I do not mean school training only ; but the training of parents, guardians, the examples set before the eyes of the young by men and women who are looked up to by tbe community as leaders. When a young man has gained an honorable position in the world, and received tbe plaudits of his fellow-men, it, by no means, follows that his teach ers should have the credit. And just as truly would it be a wrong conclu sion, to infer that a young man who turns out worthless, had bad teachers. Environment has an immense Influ ence in determining the careers of men and women. Do not let the reader infer from the foregoing that I cousider ths teaching that a youth receives has little weight in the making of the future man. It has much weight but not all. It is a serious and solemn thing to be a teacher. The responsibility i. tremendous. You can't kn,w too much to be a teacher. If experience is needed in the prosecution of any busi ness, most especially is it needed by the teafher. Bricks and mortar, granite, marble, do not make a school. Some of the best teaching ever done In our Slate was done in log school housss. .Neither does a complete equipment of patent desks, or roller maps, or charts, or fancy black-boards, or portraits o! famous literary men and professors of colleges, or gymnastic apparatus, or a chemical laboratory, or appliances for instruction in physics, or mineral cabi nets and geological museums make a school. Tbe school is the teacher, pure aud simple.. How few parsnts inquire into the qualifications of the new teacher! They may, possibly, ask wht political party does he belong to and of what religious denomination. But do they ask: Who is h? What is he? Is he a Christian? Is he a gentleman? Has he good habits? Does he know how to manage children? What say his pupils of his other schools about him? Lastly Is he a graduate? Diseases ot tbe Blood and Kerrea. Xo one need suffer with neuralgia.
