TEE EDITOR'S LEISURE HOUES
Points and Paragraphs of Thing
Present, Past ana Future.
The Commonwealth does uot take
to fads very often, bat ths one-acre crop
13 to be a fad with Texas farmers next
year; and we should like to sa8 it pre
vail in Halifax county. Tfefl idea is to
do all that can be done for one acre and
keep account with it. It is worth try
ing.
The news of the stamping out of yel
low fever by reaou of the frost is quito
reassuring. The advicas form Jackson,
Miss., of 4th said : ' With heavy frosts
the past two mornings the fever germs
are dead. Nearly all refucees excent
State officials bavo returned. Sixty-
cases and eleven deaths Is the total re
corded."
It has been given out that John
Wannamaker lias made a contract to
pay the Philadelphia Record one mil
lion dollars for one page of advertise
ments in that paper a year. To be
sure, there mustba some mistakeabout
it ; for such figures for advertising jus'
make a -country .editor's brain spin in
bewilderment. But Mr. Wannamaker,
whd is the pioneer advertiser of the age,
iong ago demonstrated the wisdom of a
liberal use ot printer's ink. AH wise
and successful business men do like
wise.
Wireless telegraphy is perhaps the
foremost wonder of the age just now.
Plans are being matured for more
thorough experiments about Washing
ton by the signal corps of the army.
The experiments are to be very ex
haustive, aad the Scientific American
says that an attempt will be ma4o'to
duplicate and even exceed the per
formance of Mr. Marconi, who rect-i.-o
communicated between British war
ships engaged in maneuvres which
were at tLe time eighty miles apart.
There js no forecasting now what will
yet le the utility of wireless telegrephy.
A fairly well informed farmer in re
marking recently on the improved con
dition of the farmers and others, said
oue of the reasons for it 13 the econo
my which the people generally have
been practicing for the past year or
two. He said especially of the farmers
that they have learned to save more
And make more for themselves. This
is true and the farmers who have made
their own supplies are everywhere in
easier condition than those who have
depended upon some money crop with
which to supply their tables and their
farms. The South is a great country,
North Carolina Is a great state, and
this ought to be one ol the most inde
pendent sections of the State, and we
b3licve it Is.
It is a great drawback to any com
munity for the general public to get
the impression that the people of that
ommunity are careless about dis
charging their financial ODiigaiionB.
People who will not, and do not try to
pay their honestlebte, are everywhere

SOME COMMENTS ON SLAVERY,
BY G. GS03VENOB. DA WE.
Written For The Commonwealth.
Though this is written two weeks in
advance of election day, yet the various
elections of the country will have
been held before itls readTaSd we shall
have realized onca more the advantage
q having a government that is repre
isenative, a government that can be
rebuked by a vote and cast out by a
yote. The quietuHo with which an
election paesess off is in itself a proof
of the general good sense of the com
munity, and is a promise of future
quietude. To know that practically
the same acquiescence in the will of
the majority prevails all over the
country is to know that Americans are
capable of eelt-govemment. Whatever
apparent temporary departure there
may be at present, while we are in a
state of war with some portions of our
own country all of lis who stop to
think feel confident that Americans
having beeiftrue, in great measure, for
a hundred years to the traditions of
the fathers, will not now be found un
worthy of an heroic past. If there is
any one thiog more sure than another
in this world it is that the dusky races
that have come in under our cafe from
a variety of causes will be better off
with us than without us. For us to
raise the voice of lamentation and say
that these new possessions merely
mean more office holders, more thiev
ery, mom self-benefit is to utter a wail
that is our own condemnation ; forif it
be true that thievery and wrong doing
exist in public office it means that we
who boast of our freedom and inde
pendence are ourselves to blame and
are ourselves certainly not fit fo gov
ern and certainly, af the same time not
wise enough to criticise. I do believe
in haying sfi'nse enough to go in when
it rains, but I also believe in the ;wis-.-lom"
find. th ffain that coma from
looking on the bright side of things
Let ua believe with our whole heart
that the nation that carved its way to
freedom, that dared almost to disrupt
itself for th'e sake of a fuller freedom,
that has had courage to be untrue to
its declaration ol independence in order
to do away with Mormonism and that
has the name the world over for ener
gy, for progress and humanity will be
true to its higher purposes and aims.
According as our heart beliefs are in
terpreted into action, so will the nation
be.
Speaking of the slavery of men and
women and also of the necessary effort
made by the United States to have one
style of government throghout, reminds
one of the war being now waged in
South Africa. Because England gets
scant treatment from some of our pap
ers, perhaps a lew words may be per
mitted regarding some features of the
struggle between the Boers and British.
Practically the Boers are the ou!y white
people in the world who defend and
practice slavery. With a sort ol moral
obtuseness that is peculiar at times
to those who are verbally religious, the
Boer prates of his nearness to Cod and
then by his harsh brutality to the flesh
and hlood of his brotherman be dem
onstrates his nearness to the devil
For two centuries he has been out of
step with progress and lives his pat
riarchai life in conditions far inferior to
our own Cracker whites.
The Mormons went west beyond all
fear of future interference. They were
mistaken. Civilization caught up
with them, ran beyond them, surroun

Bswitched The Steak.
Boston Transcript.
Charles E. Tripler, the famous ex
perimenter in liquid air, recently went
to Boston to yisit his friend, Ehhu
Thompson, the electrical expert. He
took him a can of liquefied air. It
was a quart of the coldest thing on
earth that Mr. Tripler had in this tin
can, and he took it with him to lunch
eon where he put it on the floor by his
chair. They lunched in a hotel cale
and ordered a steak. After it had been
brought in and while the waiter's back
was turned, Mr. Tripler lifted It from
the platter, opened the can and exposed
the meat to the liquid air. When h
nut. it back on the platter it was as
hard as a rock.
"Waiter." called Mr. Tripler, "come
here." The waiter ooeyea.
"What's the matter with this steak ?
he asked, anxiously.
And he lifted it from the plate by two
fingers and struck it with his knife
The frozen meat rang like a bell.
"I d-d-d-on't k-n-ow, sir," he faltered
and h8 started for the head waiter on
the run.
Afr. Trinler. bv the way, is one oi
the fiercest looking men in the invent
ins business. His mustache is 01 the
pirate'eut, and bis eyebrows bristle and
moot, in the middle. Therefore the
head waiter approached him with al
most timidity.
"Do you serve your steak like this as
a rule?" asked Mr. Tripler, as neetrucu
the time of day on it.
"It's that fool chef," exclaimed the
waiter as he started for the kitchen.
A few minutes later the chef appear
ed with the head waiter. He recognized

Trinrer took it up and rang it again

"The Fourteen Mistakes of Life.
a lict ni "tho fourteen mistakes of
tifA" was recentlv given by an English
naper. The list is not exhaustive, but
is certainly suggestive :
It is a great mistake to ser up our
own standard of right ana wrong, ana
judge people accordingly ; to measure
tha Pmovment 01 oiners , uy um uu ,
to expect uniiormiiv w upimuu i
world ; to look for judgment and ex
rAripnppi in vouth : to endeavor to
oil dispositions alixe ; to look lor
refaction in our own actions ; to worry
ourselves and others with what cannot
be remedied ; not toyieia in immaterial
matters ; not to alleviate all that needs
alleviation as far as lies in our power ;
not to make allowances for the Infirm
ities of others ; to consider everything
impossible that we cannot perform ; to
beiieye only what our finite minds can
grasp ; to expect to be able to under
stand everything. ' i
And the last and greatest mistake ot
all is to live for time alone, when any
moment m ay launch us into eternity.

THE ?AEl0tJ3 SIGHTS AND
SCENES OF A DAY.
Written For The Commonwealth.
Volumes have been written about
Coney Island, but to get a definite idea
of it ono must visit and see for hi m
seii. As a place of amusement it ifa'nds
alone, and is easi'y the most popular
resort in the world. Travel where
you may, far or near, you will find but
one Coney Island.
It is a most wicked place ; hence its
popu'Itfrlty. Thoso who patronize the
evil shows and gambling resorts afe
more responsible ior the wickeduess,
however, than the men who run them.
Those men are quick to see what the
lower class wants and turn their knowl
edge into gold by catering to the baser
passions of the mob.
.Nine-tenths of the showa are "fakes"
pdre and simple. But, as the old adage
goes "all fxjls are not dead yet" and
the man who gets up the biggest fraud
makes the most money- It looks as if
tiie people go there to get "buncoed"
and are rather disappointed if they
don't. This is especially true of the
rural visitor, who wants to go .home
and tell all about his marvelous ex
periences and hair breadth escapes.
The native Mew Yorker so admires the
audacity of the knaves who work the
Various games that h looks pleasant
and says nothing, if he gets fleeced.
Tha place has some' redeeming quail-
tie:?, however ; it is not totally bad, a3
some think.
"The island" is seen at its best (or
worsO on Saturday or Sunday evening
during summer.
The stranger is surprised most of all
by the terrific noises, the size of the
crowds, and th3 number of leather-
unged "barkers" at every turn. The
etreets are lined wth stands where they
sell every eatable imaginable, such ns
fish, oysters, tatnatas and frankfurters,
cooked while you wait and piping hot.
Let me caution you against the last
named article, in case you should ever
visit Coney. They look tempting, I
know, but leave them alone ! They are
supposed to be sausages, and are made
from the choicest cuts of the noble
horse, and I hava even heard it whisp
ered that dog's maat form a goodly por
tion of tlv?ir make-up.
The varici9 forms of amusement are
innumerable ; I can only mention a few
of the best ones.
First ot all is the "chutes," the Mec-
caofall country people, the pride of the
island. "Chutes" is only another name
for a steep incline down which a boat
dashes at a break-neck pace into a pool
of water below. While the boat is in
motion the girls all hold their breath
and even forget to scream, so great is
the speed, but they make up for lost
time while the boat is being rowed
ashore by the sailor in charge.
After the "chutes" comes the to
boggan, a rather lively affair. The
passengers seat themselve in a email
car and are drawn by cable to the top
of a spiral structure forty feet high,
and turned loose. The car starts down
with lightning-like rapidity, taking
a sudden drop every lap, and always
gaining momentum. When it finally
reaches the ground the passengers are
dazed and "see things.".
Next in order is the tower, a skele
ton steel structure three hundred feet
high, which commands a magnificent
view of the surrounding land and water.
From this dizzy height the scene
at night is one long to ho remembered.
The myraids of electric lights in all
directions make a picture from fairy
land. The streets below are an ever
changing kaleidoscope and the long
white line of surf breaking upon the
shore adds grandeur to the scene.
Side by side with the tower is the
Ferris wheel, looking rather tame in
comparison, with its lofty rival. It nas
one feature though that is anything
but tame the "zagtime" steps leading
to the ticket office. They are two seta
of steps sid8 by side, bobbing' up and
down like a"piston-rodand playing see
saw with untiring energy. It is ex
tremely amowng to watch , the fat peo
ple trvmg to climb them. They brave
ly start up, and aitcr getting firmly
planted on the first step begin to per-
form a series of acrobatic "stunts" that
would make even the rubbzr man jeal
ous. Tney hold to the railing like a
drowning man and reach the iop red
in tf B f;ica and out of breath after
jen minutes of terrific exertion. ,

attack of dysentery, diarrhoea or
cholera morbus. Sold eyerywhere.

Pain Killer, Perry Davis. Price 25c.
and 50c. -
After the Ferris wheel we have the
scenic tuhnfll, which is like the tobog
gan, only the cars rud through a 4wk
tunnel filled with a choice collection j
of ghosts and hob-goblins.
Then the maize, a glass house with
mirrors so arranged that you can see
yourself a thousand times in as many
directions. As ycfu watider on you see
a helping hand beckoning to" " you arid
of conrse must follow it. You cott?e
into violent contact with a mirror
every way you turn. Finally yon
reach the exit when you least expect
it.
Across the w;y Is a gyfisy tent where
they make a specialty of solving tb3
Knotty problems of the heart.
AH around are numberless swing
(scups as they are called) merry-go-roun&sj
picture tents and shooting
galleries. The last named are liber
ally patronized by the youthful sport?,
the majority of whom couldn't hit a
bull wero he as large in proportion a s
the circular tin is to the proverbial
eye. Each gallery is equipped with a
number of glass balls so arranged that
they seem to float in mid-air ; but tbey
are really kept up by almost invisible
streams of water.
Eyeryrher you see a variety of show.3
with an energetic "barker" outsit! 3
urging the people to go In and see 'the
Cuban wild girl," "the Filipino giant"
or sortie? other outlandish freak. None
of them are genuine, tbey are only the
ordinary thick-lipped "nigger" dressed
in a ferocious looking costume and
hired to fool the unintiated.
Last but not least we have the Bow
ery, Ihe main attraction of the place.
It fs ofily a narrow broad walk hemmed
in on each side by a succession of dance
and concert halls. During the rush
hours it Is alwajs so packed that there
is not an inch of space left. It is there
that the ''barker" is in his glory. Hour
after hour he stands outside the ticket
I.
booth and with stentorian voice com-1
mands the people to go in to see
his show. But his voice avails him
nothing on Sunday. The law forbids
him to "bark" so he stands with a most
appealing look, beckoning to the crowd
with his handkerchief, and pointing to
a small sign bearing the pathetic words
"we are not allowed to talk."
The dauce halld all do a rushing
business, and beer flows like water be
twectt the dances.
The most popular places of ail are
the concert halls. They are always fill
ed ; the crowds sitting around the tables
drinking yile beer and watching vile
performances. The Bhows consist
mainly cf a lot of girls in abbreviated
costumes doing the "cake walk" and
singing "ragtime" songs.
A large part of the island was des
troyed by fire this summer and it has
not yet been rebuilt. There has been
much talk of making a park of tho burn
ed area, and it will prove a double
blessing if tnc plan is carried out. It
will wipe out the foulest part of the
island and will provide a beautiful play
ground for the poor people.

FALLING OF THE STABS.
Will Take Place in Noyember, Says
Pro Linnean.
Dunn Union.
Prof. J. F. Lanneau, of the depart
ment of Physics and Applied Mathe
matics of Wake Forest College, writes
a citizen of Davidson in answer to an
inquiry about the falling of the stars
"There will be a remarable shower
of stars this year, very much like the
ordinary 'shooting stars' we see now
and then of an evening quickly shoot
ing across the sky with more or less of
bright trail, and suddenly disappearing
Only, in the shower, there will be many
hundreds of them succeeding each oth
er irregularly for four or five hours,
and all seeming to come from the same
part of the sky, namely from about the
constellation of stars, known asji"Leo,
or "The Lion."
"You may see that constellation of
stars of an evening now, say at 8 or 9
o'clock, and may know it by its posi
tion and shape. You may see it well
up above the Eastern horizon, its prom
inent stars being in the shape of an old
fashioned grass, blade.
"The shower will occur the night of
Monday, Noyember 13tb, or rather be
fore daylight net morning. It may
begin at any time after midnight of
Monday, the 13th, lasting several hoars
perhaps until daybreak. Ur It mny
not occur until Tuesday night, the 14th
after midnight.
"It will be well wortn the sitting up
two successive nights. ' It occurs every
33 years. Possibly is may be seen only
in Europe, occurring during oiir day
time, as it did in 1866. But keep a
lookout it will be worth the "trou
ble." o
