Feints and Paragraphs cf Things Fresent, Past and Future. It is too shocking to think of the selling of spoiled beef by a Raleigh butcher ; and yet such is reported In the papers. That is the first case of the kind we remember to have noted in North Carolina, and we hope it may be the last. We might not be sur prised at such a thing occuring in oth er parts of the world : but to have it occur in Raleigh is too shocking to contemplate. The counterfeiter seems to have been getting in his work in a number ot piaces. Recently there have been some sensations in w limington over the work of counterfeiters, and a few days ago the Wilmington Messenger printed a news item that at Aulander, in Bertie county, counterfeit nickles are being passed. Kidnapping seems also to have become a sort ot mania with some. Occasionally one sees ac count of some child being stolen and traced up. But it will not do to con clude that the world is getting worse. Our facilities for learning of these things are only better than they used to be. The courage of the Spartan mother finds its counterpart in the women of the Philippines. They have notified General Otis that when all the men shall have been slain by our armies they themselves will take up arms and de fend the liberty for which their fathers, husbands, sons and brot hers are fight- ng. The wide, wids world will ap plaud this sentiment of the .Filipino women ; and whether in sympathy with this country or them every hu mane soul the world over will heave i wishful sigh forthe cessation of such hostilities as wring such utterances from the women of any people. All this country is beginning to ask when will this inhuman slaughter of the in nocent Filipinos cease, and when will the soldiers of America be spared the useless butchery that is damning the fair fame and good name of our nation Xorth Carolina is learning to take a hold on things In a big way. The truth is, -"The Old Xorth State" is coming to the iront in industrial en terprises and it will not be many years before we shall be known as a progress ive people all printed thi3 way : Pro gressive People, capital initial letters and all in italics. That is a pretty scheme told by the Xews and Observer Saturday whereby Roanoke Rapids water power, in Hali fax county, is to furnish lights for Raleigh, Wake Foiest, Henderson, Weldon, Petersburg, Xorfolk and other places. Continuing the Xews and Observer makes the following pleasing observations about the building of Roanoke-Rapids : "The South is rising up. "From every section comes the glad news ot industrial development ot solid substantial growth. "But from no section of the great South is the news so positive, so en couraging withal, as from Xorth Car olina. For no other State has such great resources, such immense possi- bilites. "Only a few years ago, and the wa ters of the Roanoke, near Weldon, were whirling to waste over a mile or so of rugged rapids. Then this mighty volume of force was harnessed, made to drive wheels, grind grain, turn spin dles and weave fabri es. "This was less than halt a dozen years ago, and now there Is a thriving city there, with new manufacturing enterprises springing up almost daily. Where once was a vast cotton-field, fringed about with dens9 wild forest, there is now a busy little city. In stead of a great river flowing to waste, you will find flying wheels. The fields and lorests that less than half dozen years ago listened only to the music ot birds and running water, now hear the hum of industry. "It is an interesting story this build ing of a city in a day scarcely lees interesting and far more true than the tale one finds in the Arabian Xights.

GROSVESOR DA WE. Written for The Commonweatlth. The Fourth and France. The time of the year now approaches when the small boy with fireworks will celebrate the Declaration of Independence measuring the success of the present occasion and the greatness of tho past event by the noise he succeeds in mak ing. We who are grown up know very well that blazonry of bunting and the noise of cannon are not any sure signs of patriotism ; but we cannot deray these things to the young nor can w6 question their yalue in keeping alive interest in the past ; for the young need objective things they need, as it were, to have a picture before them in order to understand a lesson.. sic We older ones, in hundreds of places, will listen to oratory, some good, some bad. We shall doubtless find our speakers taking netw texts, suggested by the remarkable events in our own history during the past year : and if the result ot the celebration is to make each of us feel that it is an important thing to be an American, and that our future as a nation carries with it new responsibilities, the result of gatnering ourselves together will be good. JLet us, however, while we rejoice over the national life that is ours, give more than a few thoughts to distracted France, now rent asunder by warring actions and momentarily in doubt as to what its future form of government shall be. We can well afford sympathy, for France is knit to us by many close ties ol mutual service, and we max well indulge in anxiety, for the men of France in past times have voiced many noble human aspirations. Beyond all question, the government of France is largely a failure, for there is neither to the citizen of France nor to the onlooker from abroad any prom ise of permanency about the govern ment as it is now constituted. Success ful administration of business affairs, education, the arts and sciences of hu man life all those things that make a nation great depend for their power upon the stability of govern ment. Xo great forward steps are like ly in any direction, when a man goes to rest at night uncertain as to whether he will wake up in the present century or open his eyes upon a repetition of the bloodshed ot a hundred years ago. France teaches us that there is ex treme danger in men trying to run government for personal glory and ad vantage or merely for the defeat of an opponent. Men who are called to the management of affairs occupy in the truest sense positions of trust to which trust they are utterly false when they think more of personal pleasure, personal profit and personal triumph, than they do of national welfare. France's mark of peculiarity during the past five years of continuous tur moil has been the absence of any great, broad line of policy for national affairs. The officials ol the army have tried to score points against civilian power. The Socialists have had designs upon both. The laboring men have clung to the army and mistrusted the civilian power and each and all of these have clattered and scrambled, fought and torn at each other, like a lot of captur ed crabs in a float, heedless ot the fact that unless they escaped they would all utterly perish. These sweeping assertions are per fectly safe ones to make, even though there exist in" France at the present time a certain number of unselfish, noble men who would give up. their lives rather than see human hopes as expressed by popular government dash ed to the ground. The unselfish ones are not numerous enough nor do they occupy placea oi power sufficient to color the policy of France In the pres ent day. Daring the Dark Ages good men existed and shone like points of light in an inky setting, but they sim ply were known to be light without having any power to impart it. Thus in all ages and in all countries our only way of judging is by finding fhe pre vailing tendency. Zola, the author; Picquart, the military martyr ; Gobeir, the daring journalist, are men whose character and unselfishness and cour age might make any nation proud. But their voices and their pleadings are like the faint twitterings of birds in the midst of a howling gale, and only toolate will their prophesying be lound T AvjT MaQy Solden opportunities lArbl. have been lost by those who suffer from rheumatism- By taking Rheumacide now they will be permanently and positively cured. true. Unless a volcanic change takes place the middle of the next century will see France reduced in the presence of its stronger neighbors to a condition as weak and as helpless as that of Spain, for just as its politics are heedless and its politicians self-seekers, so in its so cial life there is a lack of fellowship between the different classes. In its moral life as well there is exhibited the painful spectacle of a nation morally mad snatching with eager hand at the corrupting pleasures of the present, quite regardless of the usurous de mands that Xature will make upon the future in payment for the present. The sacred power of women in uplift ing man is forgotten till she is regarded merely as a pleasure-giver. The great power of ideals i swept aside because ideas take too long to work out and, if worked out, would onlygiye pleasure to a future generation. Glorious dream- ings as to things that are yet to be the dreamer of dreams is the truest citizen are surrendered in favor of the waking night-mare of material gross ness. Faith in the unseen is dead. The restraining influences of tradition are forgotten, and in one mad Dance of Death a volatile people is gliding along to a destruction that is awful because it is needless, and that is equally aw ful because it is based upon an ab normal devotion to selfishness in every form. There are thoughts for ourselves hidden between everv line. May there never come to American life just be cause personal pleasure and, profit can be ours for the taking, even partial indifference to the success and to the happiness of the whole political body . Always Something New. Dunn Union. Mr. Hardy II. Draughon, of Mingo, Sampson county, has recently received a patent from the government at Wash ington which it granted him on a Bird Call an invention of his and which he has been using successfully for some time. With the instrument almbst any person can soon learn to imitate the noise of many kinds of birds, more particularly hawks, crows and turkeys Mr. Draughon made the call of two peices of ivory and with it imitates the cry of hawk3 perfectly and by it he has become the champion hawk-killer of this county. His seryices are sought in many communities where hawks are bad after the chickens of the farmers, and when he goe3 alter them he al ways gets about all in the neighbor hood. In the last few years he has called up with his bird call, and kill ed more than three thousand hawlcs. He does his work by going into the woods, secreting himself, and with bis invention begins to make the sharp shrill cry of the hawks and in a few moments a hawk will come and perch nearby, then with his gun he brings him down. He uses it also very suc cessfully in calling np crows and tur keys. His invention is a great help to hunters and very valuable in ridding the country ol the chicken-eating hawks. Mr. Draughon is making preparation for the manufacture of the instrument and will probably soon have it on the market. He has had already quite a number of applications to purchase his patent. A SLIGHT MISUXDSRSTAXDIXG. "Xellie," said a mother to her little daughter, "I wish you would run over and see how old Mrs. Smith is ; she has been ill." In a few minutes Xellie came run ning back and reported. "She said tell you that it was none ot your business." "Why Xellie," said ths astonished mother, "what did you ask her?" "Just what you told me to," replied the little innocent. "I told her you wanted to know how old she was." Health for ten cents.

CANNOT E3CA?E IT. 1 Saturday Evening Post. The only responsibility that a man cannot evade is this life is the one he thinks of least, his personal influence. Man's conscious influence, when he is on dress parade, when he is posing to impress those around him, is woefully small. But his unconscious influence, the silent, Bubtile radiation of his per sonality, the effect of his words and acts, the trifles he never considers, is tremendous. Every moment of life he is changing to a degree the lile of the whole world. Every man has an at mosphere which is affecting every oth er, oo silent and unconsciously is this influence working, that man may for get that it exists. All the forces of Xature, heat,ligh!, electricity and gravitation, are silent and invisible. We never Bee them ; we only know that they exist by see ing the effects they produce. In all Xature the wonders of the "seen" are dwarfed into insignificance when com pared with the majesty and glory of the "unseen." . The great sun itself! does not supply enough heat and light to sustain animal and vegetable life on the earth. We are dependent for near ly half of our light and beat upon the stars, and the greater part of this sup ply of life-giving energy comes from tne invisible stars, millions of miles from the earth. In a thousand ways Xature constantly seeks to lead men to a keener and deeper realization of the power and wonder ol the invisi ble. Into the hands of every individual is given a marvelous power for good or eyil, the silent, unconscious, unseen influence of his life. This is simply constant radiation of what a man really is, not what I18 pretends to be. Every man, by his mere hying, is radiating sympathy, or sorrow, or morbidness, or cynicism, or happiness, or hope or any of a hundred other qualities. Life is a state of constant radiation and ab sorption ; to exist is to radiate ; to exist is to be the recipient of radia tions. There are men and women whose presence seems to radiate sunshine, cheer and optimism. We leel calmed and rested and restored in a moment to a new aad stronger faith in humanity. There are others who focus in an in stant all your latent distrust, morbid ness and rebellion against life. With out knowing why, you chafe and fret in their presence. You lose your bear ings on life and its problems. Your moral compass is disturbed and un satisfactory. It Is made untrue in an instant, as the magnetic needle of a ship is deflected when it passes near mountains of iron ore. There are men who float down the stream of life like icebergs, cold, re served, unapproachable and self-con tained. In their presence you invol untarily draw your wraps cleser around you, as you wonder who left the door open. These refrigerated human be ings have a most depressing influence on all those who fall under the spell of their radiated chilliness. But there are other natures, warm, helpful, gen ial, who are like the Gull Stream, fol lowing their own course, flowing un daunted and undismayed in the ocean of colder waters. Their presence brings warmth and life and the glow of sunshine, the joyous, etimulating breath of spring. There are men who are like malari ous swamps, poisonous, depressive and weakening by their verv presence. They make heavy, oppressive and gloomy the atmosphere of their own homes ; the sound of the children's play is stilled, the ripples of laughter are frozen by their presence. They go through lile as if each day were a new big funeral, and that they were always chief mourners. There are other men who seem like the ocean ; they are constantly bracing, stimuia lating, giving new draughts, of tonic, life and strength by their very pres ence. There are men who are insincere in heart, and that insincerity is raidiated by their presence. They have a won drous interest in your welfare, when they need you. They put on a "prop erty" smile so suddenly, when it seryas their purpose, that it seems the smile must be connected with some electric button : concealed m their KIDXEY TROUBLE Is a deceptive disease thousands have it and don't know its If you want quick results you can make no mistake by using Dr. Kilmer's Swamp root, the great kidney remedy.

Y. .. clothes. Their voice has a stimulated cordiality that long training may have made almost natural. But they never play their part absolutely true, the mask will slip down sometimes ; their cleverness cannot teach ih jiz eyes tbt look of sterling honesty ;they may de ceive some people, but they cannot de ceive ail. There la a subtle power oi revelation which makes us say : "Well, I cannot explain how it is, but I know that man is not honest." Man cannot escape for one moment from this radiation of his chracter, this constant weakening or strengthening of others. He cannot evade the re sponsibility by saying it is an uncon scious influence. -Ho cau select the qualities that he will permit to be ra diated. He can cultivate sweetness?, calmness, trust, generosity, truth, just ice, loyalty, nobility, make them vi tally active in his character, and by these qualities he will constantly affect the world. Discouragement often comes to hon est souk trying to live the best they can, in me tnougnt that they are do ing so little good in the world. Trifles unnoted by us may be links in the chain of some great purpose. In 1797, William Godwin wrote The Inquirer, a collection of revolutionary essays on morals and politics. This book influ enced Thomas Malthus to write his Essay on Population, published in 1798. Malthus' book suggested to Charles Darwin a point of view upon which he devoted many years of his life, resulting, in 1859, in the publica tion of The Origin of Species, the most influential book of the nineteenth century, a book that has revolution ized ail science. These were but three links ot influence extending over sixty years. It might be possible to trace this genealogy of influence back from Godwin, through generation and gen eration, to the work or act of some shepherd in early Britain, watching his flock upon the hills, living his quiet life, and dying with the thought that ho Lad done nothing to help the world. Men and women have duties to oth ers, and . duties to themselves. In justice to ourselves we should reluse to live in an atmosphere that keeps ub from hying our best. If the fault le in us, we should master it. If it be the pe.sonal influence of others that, like a noxious vapor, kills our best im puites, we should remove from that influence, if we can possibly move without forsaking duties. If it be wrong to mce, then we should take strong doses of moral quinine to coun teract the malaria of influence. It is not what ihoso around us do that counts it is what they are to us. We carry our house plants from one window to another to give them the proper heat, light, air and moisture, bbould we not bo at least as careful of our selves '? To make our influence felt we must live our faith, we must practice what we believe. A magnet does not at tract iron, as iron. It must first con vert the iron into another magnet be fore it can attract it. It is useless for a parent to try to teach gentle ness to her children when she herself is cross and irritable. The child who is toM to be truthful and who bears a parent lie cleyerly to escape some little social unpleasantness is not going to cling very zealously to the truth. The parent's words say "don't he," the in fluence of the parents' life says "do lie." Xo man can isolate himself to evade this influence, as no single cor puscle can rebel and escape from the general course of the blood. Xo lndi yidual is so insignificant as to be with out influence. The changes in our varying moods are all recorded m the delicate barometers of the lives of oth ers. We should ever let our influence filter through human love an sympa thy. We should not be merely an in fluence, we should be an inspiration. By our very presence we should be a source of strength to the hungering human souls around u?.
