It is indeed gratifying to see the statements made in able and trust worthy journals that the country is in a prosperous and hopeful condition. To bo sure prices for almost everything are high ; but if high prices bring pros perity we ought to do our best to be content with it so. The crop outlook is certainly flattering, and so far as we are informed, outside of the regions where strikes prevail, laborers are paid a good wage and are satisfied. South Carolina hot blood is mani festing itself thus early in the political campaign.

Friends interposed and he'd them apart. This was a bad exa-', and it is hoped other aspirants for f fice will not follow it. It seems that at a lynchin g bee in Maryland recently the wrong man wae lynched. Evidence has been discovered showing that the man was not guilty of the crime for which he was lynched. The News and Observer makes the fo! lowing clear and sensible comment Vs "This terrible mistake ought to pu an end to lynching. It is awful enough illegally to deprive a guilty brute o.' iife. It is a crime too great to give n a name for men to lynch an innocent man. - "The crime of lynching is less com mon. Public sentiment ought to put n stop to it." Young man. young man !

Stowell, XI. D Treasurer and General Manager of the J. C. Ayer Co, Lowell Massachusetts. A rational considerstin of the ef fects of smoking cigarettes on boys and I young men." By Chas. H. Stowell, M. D.f Treasurer and General - Manager of the J. C. Ayer Co., Lowell Mass. j. wouia give tne following reasons for opposing the smoking of cigarettes by boys under 21 years of age : 1. It Lessens the Natural Appetite for Food and Injures Digestion.- Any close observer will know at once how true is this statement. The boy who smokes has a bad digestion and a poor appetite. Because of this interference with appetite and digestion, the food is not properly digested and assimi lated, cellular activity is checked, and the growth and development of the body seriously interferred with by this early poisoning. 2. It Serionsly Affects the Nervous System. We often hear about the "to bacco heart" of the adult. If tobacco is strong enough to affect the beating of the adult heart, bow much stronger must be its effect on the heart of a young person, long before tissues' have become fixed. The rush of blood to the head, the dizziness, tbe unsteady beating of the heart, the distressing dreams all show how seriously is the nervous system affected. But a more serious charge can be brought against it under this heading. This effect on the nervous system is sufficient to produce the most marked changes in the mental activity. Re cent statements from the University of Michigan, Northwestern University, Ya'e College, Union College, together with scores of other institutions and hundreds of the most eminent teachers of the country, all testify to the fact that cigarette smoking interferes with scholarship. If it interferes with scholarship of young men over twenty- one years ox age, how much more se riously must it interfere with the men- tal activities of those under this age ! 3. It Lowers the mora! Tone.- An other most serious charge against the cigarette is that it lowers the moral toce. Boys who would not tell a lie on any other matter, not for a fortune, our best and noblest boys, do not seem to hesitate a moment to tell any kind of a falsehood in order to keep from their parents the fact that they are smoking cigarettes, 'ihey hide the cigarettes. They smoke them away from heme. They try in 6very way to conceal the truth. Indeed, they will do all manner ot things in order to deceive those who are nearest and dear est to them. 4. It Creates a Craving for Strong Drink. There hasr been a great deal of discussion on this point, " but I am convinced that tbe statement is logi cally true. The hot smoke from the cigarette tends to make the month and throat dry and create a peculiar sinking sensation in the stomach. Water may temporarily relieve this dryness and may temporarily check the sinking sensation. Bat with tbe mor al tone lowered and lhe mental power weakened, the desire" to yield to- the first temptation is strengthened, be cause of the slimy excuse that the boy must have something to wet his throat. And so it goee, from bad to worse. In other words, the boy who smokes more easily accepts an invitation to a treat than one who does not smoke. : 5. It is a Filthy and Offensive Hab it. No matter how stealthy the boy may do his work, sooner or later his clothing becomes saturated with the odor of tobacco.. And let me add right cere, of the most inexplicable things in thb world is that a well dressed, highly accomplished young lady will sit by' the side of a young man in a carriage or street car, or will walk by his tide in the street, or will submit to inhaling this most offensive odor bad at all times,' but of course increased a thousand fold when tbe smoking ma chine is in. full operation. 6. It is Expensive. Boys should not bejtaught how to uselessly . expend money. Parents; friends, and teachers should give directly the' opposite advice. . ; - 7. It is Unla.wful.-In nearly every State in' lte Union? there are most stringent laws forbidding the furnish ing of cigarettes or tobacco to 'minors under a certain age." . In most of these States there axe laws against selling to such minors. Take the - District of Columbia; we find that" 257 . physi cians, 524 officers and teachers of tbe public schools, and 86 pastors of churches petitioned Congress for the passage of a bill prohibiting tbe selling, giving, or furnishing tobacco to any person under sixteen years of age. v ANNOUNCEMENT. ' Believing that smoking cigarettes is injurious to both mind and body, thereby unfitting young men for their best work ; therefore, after this date we will not employ any young man under 21 years of age who smokes cigarettes. J. C. AYER CO. February, 1902. ... 8. Cigarette Smoking not Allowed at teems 10 me mat these reason are sufficienFfor the action taken in posting throughout our buildings the above announcement.

Reprint from The Business World, May, 1902 Catholic Churches in Wats. Raleigh Times. " - . . The members of the Catholic church have been very active for the past year in building churches and spreading their faith in this county, and this ha created some excitement among the ig norant in a lew localities, in one place the Roman Catholics were con founded with tbe Mormons and the people were advised accordingly. A farmer from oce section recently said that his neighbors were discussing nothing else nardJy now. However, this interest took a more serious iorm at St. Theresa church, be tween here and Cary. A few nights since the church was destroyed by . an incendiary fire. The fire occurred only a short time before the hour for ser vice. A man traveling in that direc tion saw the door open and a light in the church. , Before he reached there the entire building was a blaze. The church, the organ and everything in the house was destroyed. The loss is placed at between 1300 and $500. There had been, it is said, some threat to burn the building., However, thb was only among a few ignorant people and the commnnity in general is yery indignant oyer the crime and will as sist in rebuilding tbe church which will be done immediately. There are now six Catnolic churches in Wake county besides in Rale: gh They are St Theresa, near Method; St ' Mary's, at Holly Springs ; St." Hughes, at Vance X Beads ; St. Joseph's, at Garner ; and one being finished at Apex and Fuquay Springs. The Church of the Holy Name of Jesus is also being erected at Nazeretb. communicants in these country churches and those under a course o construction are now estimated at 70 or 80. The total number of Catholics in the county including those in Ral eigh, is about 250 or 300. . The steeple of the church at Nazer- eih is 75 feet, and being on a hill can be seen for many miles. Butler The Chamelecn. Concord Standard. . . A Washington correspondent to the Louisville -, Evening Post describes Marion Butler as now a man of affairs, that he has grappled with fortune and has thrown her, that he is conyention ally dressed with beayer hat and looks the millionaire. v He has an office in New York. He is of course out of politics and into, get ting all the money he can which is not a crime in itselt but so unlike the stuff he was packing into people but a few years ago. Marion was the very apostle of dis content and abuse oi money making men,, but it was always clear; that his apparent convictions were but" skin deep. Contrary to Butler's 'raving he I is allright to get rich if he can do so honestly, but it is not comforting to a good many that he fanned and lashed into partizan fury till the Democratic party was not half Democratic enough for so" many of our people and they went off into a third party then into coalition and are now in the party : op pbfced to what they; contended for at the outset oi the dissension. - It is strange, how we can . be influenced by those without sincerity who leave us when fortune beckons in- another di rection. Who does not know though that those who dislike men because they are .successful in business and ac cumulate money would gladly come into the possession of these fortunes themselves If they knew how to do so? 3.HIS WILL INTEBEST MOTHERS.

To be Grown in North Caroline. OF INTEBEST TO FABHEBSl The following special was printed in the Raleigh Post from Washington few days ago. It will be of special in- terest to farmers : . v , : . . The culture of Sumatra tobacco in North Carolina, lhe growth of wiicb has yielded net profits of -cne thousand an acre in other states, was discussed today by Representative Blackburn with Professor Whitney of the depart ment of agriculture. It was the desire of tbe North Carolina congressman to begin these tests with the growth oi Cuban and Sumatra tobacco in his dis trict. He had heard of the efforts of the department of agriculture in expert menting with the growth of these fine tobaccos in tbe states of Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Ohio, where most re markable success hass been obtained Mr. Blackburn told Professor Whitney that bis district was possibly the finest tobacco producing section in the South and he expressed the hope that xpert could be sent there for the purpose of instructing the farmers how to grow this extra quality of tobocco. N Professor Whitney's answer was very favorable, but he is handicapped in his tobacco culture experiments by reason ot tbe fact that congress failed at tbe last session to make ample provision for this work. The. experiments in the culture cl Sumatra tobacco were first begun in Connecticut, then in Ohio and Penn sylvania. Success resulted, and now the growth of this tobacco is a well es tablished Industry in each of these states. Three experts were sent to each state and many of the farmers netted $1,0C0 an acre.for their crops. It was the intention of the depart ment to send a party of experts to North Carolina this year to begin ex periments with both Cuban and Suma tra tobaccos, but tbe failure of congress to make the necessary appropriation prevented this. ' However, Professor Whitney sent a lot of Cuban and Su. mitra tobacco seed to Professor Kilgore to be experimented with on the test farm of tbe state agricultural depart ment in Edgecombe county. It is un derstood that a good crop was grown, and it is Professor Whitney's intention to tend an expert to the state to give instructions in curing this crop. Only an expert can cure bumatra tobacco, for it has to go through a process of fermentation. Professor Whitney told me that the section beginning in Wake and extend ing direct to Craven was possibly the best adapted to tbe growth of Suma tra tobacco in North Carolina. He frankly stated that upon the result of the experiment at the test farm de pecded the future culture of Sumatra tobacco in - Nonh Carolina. If it is successful next year a party of experts will be sent to the state. Didn't Want tha Eoute. Selected.

'"THOUSANDS of women suffer from systemic catarrh. This is sure to produce such symptoms aa cold feet and hands, &ick headache, palpitation of the heart and heavy feelings in the stomach. Then begins a series of experiments with medicine. They take medicine for sick headache. They take medicine for narrous prostration, for palpitation of the heart, for dyspepsia. None of these medicines do any good because they do not reach the cause of the complaint. "Peruna at once mitigates all these symptoms by removing the eanse. Systemic catarrh is the trouble.

A pleasant story is told of Mr. Eicb- ard Harding Davis, and of bow he once forced his ideas of courtesy upon anoth er, even at personal risk. Walking near old Fulton Market, New York, one morning, be saw com ing towards him an Italian fish-dealer and bis wife the wife with a heavy fish basket balanced upon her head, and the husband walking empty-bsnd- ed and empty headed, so to speak, by her side. Mr. Dayia flushed with indignation. "See there 1" he said t M - mpanion. Then he walked up to the Italian, "Take that basket !" he commanded. "Carry it yourself, and be quick about it. We don't let women do this soi t of thing in America." Tbe woman trembled and looked dep recatingly from one man to the other. It seemed as if she wouid prefer to carry two baskets rather than tie even the innocent cause of her husband's anger.' . The Italian slowly gatherel what Davis meant, and his big fists doubled up, and with an ugly scowl, be made one step toward tbe novelist. Although Davis is himself a large and athletic man, the Italian towered far above him and seemed mltde of i knotted muscle. But Davis was undaunted, and some- thing in his look, something in bis grm athletic build and posture, made tbe Italian pause. ' "Jake that basket, and take itquick !" crjed Davis, more mandatorily than be- fore; and the Italian giant hesitated, uVned t ward his wife, took the basket tm ner bead, and walked off with it while tbe woman trotted silently at his side. from the Northern Wood Mruin core for cousrha. iiri lll T ..,1 . vvnere biian i cuutut my uugnwi. lfc II .

LHtle boys, da you know that you cannot be cross to a horse without Ins telling cn you? But, tben, ho is jut as ready to te'l when you are gentle and kind. Do you wonder how a dumb animal can ' tell?" Well, let me tell you a true story, and see if you cannot find out. My brother, who is a doctor, bought "Old Jim", from a gent'eman who wa3 slightly disabled iobcth' arms, that Is, tiiey were not very strong. He frankly told my b-olher that ho was tellsna the hor.e because it was so restless and nervous he was a little afraid to drive him. Indeed, he could only t3 kept still Ioug enough for anyone to get into the buggy by the hostler's standing at his head and keeping light hold of tho bit. After my brother bought him, his whole nature eeemed gradually to change. His new master attended to him entirely himself, and as he was t e gentlest, most patient of men, Jim never heard a harsb word, nor exper ienced au thing but Kindness. Tho conrequence was, he soon became as gentle and patient ns his master, would stand for any length of time without being fastened, and scared at nothing. We all wondered ureatJy at the change, hardly knew how lo ac count for it, until one day the man who had formerly taken care of him was called upon to drive him homo for tbe doctor. When the man came in front of him and attempted to pat him on the nead lhe horse started as if a snake had bitten him, and baldly waiting for him to pet hold of tho reins, was off with a bcut-d, ptunclng and dancing and plunging in iho samo' nurvnilK TnPnr.PT as before we got him. Nobody could doubt that' this boy had been cross.and cruel to the animal in the stable. So you eee a horse can tell bis story very plainly in hi lnco and by bs actions, to lho.e ihocho se to look for it. ,4 - nr rlnirrVirnr? tA j It aff ml .i jrctl It MUSIC, an.! - Cn. Voolr V.
