The declaration of war between Great Britain and South Africa carries sad ness to every truly philanthropic heart. ' War is hell" as much for the people far away as it is for ourselves. It does seem that with all the enlightenment of the present age, a nd with the intelli gence of ruling powers, all differences ought to be settled without a resort to war, which entails suffering, death and destruction everywhere in its trail. The Stfte Normal School at Greens boro is said to have had the finest open ing this year of any college in the his tory of the State. There is a general awakening in educational matters in North Carolina, and the prospect is good for us in a lew years to shake off the pall of ignorance tor which our State has sometimes been condemned. North Carolina is to-day making as rapid progress in every particular, per haps, as any state in the Union. I saw a horse to-day that ought to be shot," said a lady the other day when she came in from a walk down town. "Why ought the horse to be shot?" asked another. "Because," said the lady, "it is cruel for anyone to keep such a poor animal and compel him to work." All the time, perhaps, the lady did not know she was pleading for the en forcement of the law on our statute booKs against cruelty to animals. The system of working the public roads with jail convicts eeems to be coming into favor almost throughout the Slate. Properly managed it is a good method, and it keeps at work many a .strong ana Hearty teliow who would be in jail six months or a year without doing any labor at all. It is not only economy for the State but it is much better for the prisoners. It keeps them strong and active, whereas they would grow indolent and become weaklings by lying in jail too long.

Honest Toil's Eeward. BY G. CEOSVEKOE DA WE. Written For The Commonwealth. When Max Nordau issued his book on Degeneration, proving tohis own satisfaction that most men are fools-or worse, the sweeping way in which he wrote it carried with it acertain amount of conviction and many a good man began examining himself to see if in him were any signs of the lunacy that i?ioraau seemed to see everywhere Those with good eound sense in them soon came to see that Nordau was sim ply making a problem and a very large one out of comparatively trifling cir cumscances. it reminds one of the gentleman farmer who gave much study to the subject oi potato bugs and finally decided that a potato bug was not to be found on any other than a potato plant. Consequently when he crossed a ferry one day and saw a potato bug crawling on a man's coat, he made a big problem out of this little matter because it refuted his theory. Happy was he, however, that after all the man's name was Murphy. We are all occasionally apt to take some little fact and so magnify it that for the time being it shuts out all the rest of the world with its truths and Its falsehoods, Its problems and its so lutions. To this extent we become mono-maniacs such as Nordau delights to discover, but if given a little time most of us come back to a quiet rec ognition oi the fact that one symptom does not make a disease and that one pimple does not make a plague. One is lead into this train oi thought by the tremendous interest and sym pathy that were expressed on first reading "The Man With the Hoe" by Edwin Markham. This poem regard ing down-trodden labor swept every- thing before it m the way of argument from California to the East. The de- . iha man ,th tha hfv . rified us and in our first horror we did not stop to think whether the deacirp- tion was correct or no. Bowed by the weight of centuries he leans Upon his hoe and gazes on the ground. The emptiness of ages in his face, And on his back the burden of the world. Who made him dead to rapture and de spair, A thins that grieves not and never I hr.noo Stolid and stunned, a brother to the ox : Who loosened and let down this brutal jawr Whose vrcjs the hand that slanted back this brow ? Whose breath blew out the light with in this brain? Then as certainly as sunshine fol lows shower so certainly did hundreds and thousands, after the first excite ment was past, fall to questioning themselyes as to whether m all their liyes they had met such a man as he described ; or whether upon ourselves labor and lots of it had anything like the effect Markham said it had. If we had to admit that we had seen such a creature, we remembered that he had been called feeble-minded by his fellows, and that far from hia being the produot of modern day labor he was l.L.l. rwirlnsar. nf mmA " , o nt ln.be iMOrance or neglect of the parents. healthy revulsion has now set In regarding Markham's sad poem ana on 'i .k th hoe among us is XUO liaaii " " man with the power.

Dull sloth will sooner droop our jaw and slant our forehead than will the hardest kind ot toil. Toli is sanity and is sweetness ; for after the toil comes rest and a well-earned rest is always sweet. The toiler in the open air is dead to despair indeed ; he is too healthy for that. Despair is for the wrong-doers and the slaves of such au unnat ural thing as indolence. The fin est rapture, the rapture of conquest, the knowledge of something accom plished, something done is the rapture to which the toiler is never dead. He grieves not, for why should he? His! hopes, his healthy hopes, are those of the leaves that fall to do $11 that is called for by the place in which he finds himself, and then quietly, healthily, unquestloningly sink to the i. il i m resi mai remains ior those who do what they can and ought, without eyer dreaming wildly of doing eyery vary ing thing that all the varying men are called to do. Accidently Zilled. jx.ioia, a, uctoDer id. The en tire community was greatly shocked last night on hearing that Mr. John H. Meadows, a prominent tobacconist, had accidently killed himself while hunt ing. These are the facts : In the afternoon Mr. J. H. Meadows, accompanied by Colonel L. C. Edwards, left in a buggy to go hunting. About sunset, while on the Burwell plantation a few miles from town, as they were returning home, they discovered a covey of partridges. As Mr. Meadows, who was a noted shot, and fond of the sport, was getting out of the buggy, his gun was accidently discharged by the hammer striking the step of the kuggy , the load going through his arm beli the elbow, then entering his neck and penetrated his brain, killing him instantly. On this fatal evening his beautiful young wife had delayed their evening meal that they might partake of it together, when the crushing tid ings reached her. Mr. Meadows was about 42 years old, a member of the Methodist church, was well known in Eichmon and Dan ville, and universally popular. i mm m Corn Enbber. Selected. Corn rubber is a new article which is substituted for pure rubber in certain lines of goods, This cheap substitute is mixed with equal parts of pure Para rubber. The corn part of the substitute is taken Irom the refuse of the glucose factory. About 5 per cent, of the corn in making glucose could not formerly be utilized, and this waste seemed absolute. The new corn rub ber ia manufactured from this apparent waste, says the Scientific American, and when mixed with pure rubber it produces an especially valuable con pound. Improvements in this rubber substitute are made each year, and it has to a certain extent supplanted Para rubber for many purposes. This imi tation rubber le from 25 to 50 percent, cheaper than pure rubber, but it has not been sufficiently perfected entirely tflll Pom Qri5ilA. TtlO Oil 1 I which is found in corn gives a pliablli- tv to the rubber compound that pre- vents it from cracking and breaking as mn.i ohaon o-raHnsnf rnhher do. More- over, the oil of corn tends to prevent the rubber from oxidizing, a fault com mon to most India rubber.

Fewer Marriagas. Selected. The statistics Issued by Secretary Rhnw peneral prosperity has not had much to do with the marriage industry in this State, says the Cincin nati Commercial Tribune. For the vear ended March 31, 1899, the mar riages were about 1,000 less than for the preceding year. But it may be said that the wake of prosperity had not reached its height during that year and that a big increase will be ob served in the present statistical year, ending with next March. In this con nection it is worth noting that the greatest number of marriages was in iwcmi,nr Jnnp has been called the month of roses and brides, but grim and gray December holds the blue rib bon. The Christmas season probably accounts for the odd condition of af fairs. - - HE FOOLED THE SURGEONS.

Recently a friend of mine asked me to take him through the Bowery and Chinatown, about which he had heard a great deal but knew practically ndth ing. So one Saturday evening we got up a' party of five and started out to see the sights. My friend had been living in New York quite a while but never had much chance for sight-seeing. He thought the Bowery a park ! That illusion was dispelled, howeyer, as soon as he yisited some of the foul dens for which the street is famous. We wandered around the Bowery until about midnight, when we started for Chinatown. The later the hour in that quarter, the better the time for sight-seeing. As we turned from the Bowery into narrow and crooked Pell street it seem ed as if we had been suddenly trans ported to Pekin. The street is lined with small Chinese signs ol every de scription, which look as if a hen had walked up and down them before the paint was dry. The jabbering of the Chinese, with their plg-tai!s and Ori ental dress, produced a picturesque effect. We made our way to number fifteen Pell street, and climbed up a rickety flight of dark stairs, to a regulation Chinese restaurant. As we entered the door a feeiing much akm to sea-sickness suddenly attacked us. The sight was enough to turn the stomach oi an ostrich. The whole place was filthy, and the circular board tables looked as it they had been doing sea-duty for a year on Spain's sub-marino fleet. Seated all around were men and women busily engaged in eating the delectable(?) Oriental food before them. As we sat down there was a slight commotion near the door-way, but no one seemed to notice it except our selves it wa3 merely a drunken woman who had refused to pay her bill, bcicg thrown out. When she was pr.t ont she tried to batter down the door with a cobble-stone, but In this she was un successful. When quiet was restored the almond- eyed waiter came around for our or ders. Four of the party took chap- suey, the celebrated Chinese dish, and the fifth ordered jackaman. We were a little curious to know what chap- suey was composed of, never haying seen it before, but our curiosity still remains unsatisfied. If one were very anxious to know its contents he would need to have a chemist analyze it. Its visible ingredients are bits of celery and onion, grease and small strips of meat, probably rat's ham, fried brown. It looks extremely appetizing if one could forget his surroundings while eating it. With each order they serve a tiny dish of Chinese souse. Each of our dishes was already full of souse evidence of the fact that those self same dishes had been served to at least a half dozen people before us, who had nnln (oploi 1 1,0 rv out nf pnrinsirv vaow The yacuaman palatable, Deing maae 01 rice auu tCw ed chicken. With every meal they serve a pot of tea that is really excellent. The cups are the daintiest things imaginable each one holds just one good swallow. But they give you no sugar, it you and probably think other people have the same taste. We all ate very little except one of the boys, who, being a native INew Yorker, an amateur sailor, and hungry, managed to worry down two" plates of chp-suey, a bowl of yackamau, a bowl of rice and seven cups of tea. While he was doing this terrible ex ecution we were enabled to get a belter vipro ol our surroundings. Ia the rear of the place was a- laundry where i number of "chinks" were busily en gaged in ironing eb'rts. Beyond the laundry we could get a glimpse of the kitchen where we could see long rows of chicKens that seemed to bo under going a drying-out process. ihey looked as if they might have been taken from the ruins of Pompeii.

The p!ace was filled with a motley crowd, although there were a few re spectable people who had come to see how things are done by John China man. The proprietor was not a Chi naman, as one would naturally suppore, but a Malay. After our friend had finished bis light repast we paid our bills and left. When we reached the street he showed us a small China spoon that he had pocketed for a souvenir, in spite ot the vigilance of the waiters. They keep a sharp eye on all their customers for fear they will carry off their whole outfit for souvenirs. We did not venture into an opium den, as they were a little too tough for us. In themmany a young life ie ruined by smoking one pipeful ol opium "just for fun.' Thousands of young men and women go there out of mere curiosity, try one bowl of opium. get intoxicated with Its exhilarating stupor and go back for more. O! course each one thinks himself strong enough to resist it whenever he please?: It takes but a short time for it to get a grip on a man, and then no human will is strong enough to combat it. It is said that the feeling of cne while under its effects is like a heaven ly dream. Visions flit through the miud so beautiful that one would fain sleep on forever. But when the awak ing comes it is like a hell on earth ! Nausea, drowsiness, weakness and head ach are but a few of its baneful effects. After smoking opium anv length of time a person loses all self-respect, all ecency, becomes an outcast. But one step more and he is in his grave ! i Retlaw. ! Road Law Knocked Ont. Raleigh Post. Mr. T. M. Pittman arived in the city yesterday from Tarboro en route to his home in Henderson. Mr. Pittman went to Tarboro to appear in an injunction cas9 from Warren county, involving the constitutionality of the Carraway Road Law enacted by the General . As sembly of 1899. Judge Bowman, before whom the case Tas argued, tieia that Urn mm: law. which applies to a large number oi counties in the fctate, is unconstitu tional. The opinion oi the court is that the road lav denies a citizon his property without due process of law, in that it makes no provision lor the compensation of land-owners whose property is condemned. The facts in the case are that the road supervisor of Warren opened up a new road. The property owners ob jected and secured a temporary in junction. The injunction first came before Judsre Bryan and was dissolved. Another restraining order was secured by property owners Irom Ju3ge Bow man, and has beenmade permanent. An appeal has been taken to the Ru- oreme Court. During the winter of 1897 Mr. James Reed, one of the leading citizens and merchants of Clay, Clay Co., W. Va., struck his leg against a cake of ice in such a manner as to bruise it severely. It became very much swollen and pain ed him so badly that he could not walk without the aid of crutches. He was treated by physicians, also several kinds of liniment and two and a half gallons of whiskey in bathing it, but nothing gave any relief unti he began using Chamberlain VjPam Balm. This bought almost a complete cure in a week's time and he believes that had he not used this remedy his leg would have had to be amputaled. Pain Balm is unequalled for sprains, bruises and rheumatism. For sale by K. T. vv bite1 head & Co. Tho True Beligion. Winston Cor. Raleigh Tost. During a revival in Davie county E. C. D.
