Altogether, it is pretty clear that North Carolina is" on the up-grade lu education and the work done in the various schools In the State shows well for tbe educational intei est. But after all, many young men and young women who doubtless could make a turn to go to school, are satisfied with what they are doiDg and seem to care . little lor the im provement of their minds. Those who are inclined to think that the bulk of life's work has been done by the time they are forty or fifty, and that the limit lor enterprise . . . comes with the three-score year line, may per- EtLtorpn sing Old Ass. 6 haps profitably contemplate the following from the Elkin Times : "The boys go West and sometimes induce the girls to follow. But the old people are catching the Western fever, too. Mr. Billy Mendenhall, one of Yadkin's oldest citizens, 85, packed his trunk to try his luck in one ot the far Western States. He bad lived on the road from Elkin to Boonville from the time whence the mind of man runneth not to the contrary, so far as we, know, and we admire the pluck of a man who is trying to better his condition in. life, even if he is 85." The Duplin Journal says that whilo the berry crop this season has been short, the acreage had been so increased there were 300 car loads more ship- About Berries.- acreage next season, and offers the following observations : "There is dan ger of too large an acreage another season, and there should be co-operation among the growers to limit if possible the acreage grown ; but this is quite difficult to do, and failure here may work a serious disadvantage to the growers. Along these lines of co-operation, first with the National League of Commission Merchants for the best transportation and co-operation with tbe growers for a limited acreage and a better quality of berries, there is much for the growers, through their association, to do, and such work should immediately begin for the next season." : " ' " More and mora men of great thought and moulders of public opinion are giving free expression concerning the duty of all good citizens in help Tho Drinlc EviL President C. E. Taylor called tbe attention of tbe class to the question in the following strong and ringing paragraph : "What have the college men of this State to do with banishing from our borders the drink evil in its protean forms? They have everything to do with it. What they can do is shown by the achievemets already of some of our younger alumni. But tbe labors of more than one Hercules will be required to sluice tbe cleans ing waters through these Augean stables. It the alumni of the colleges of this State will with tongue and pen and with social and religious influence strive for wise and practical legislation the next General Assembly will take still further steps toward the suppression of this blighting curse and the protection of borne and womanhood." The Atlanta Constitution says that the South needs more of a desirable class ol immigrant? , either from the North or West or tbe old world. In this connection Immigrants to tho South. concerning who have been of great valne to Texs. Tbe Post as quoted says : "The foreign citizenship of Texas has been a powerful factor for good. First the Germans, then the Swedes and next the Bohemians who have settled among us are responsible for much of our prosperity. By iudu-try and thrift they have in a majority of instances accumulated a fair measure ot this world's goods and demonstrated beyond question that honest toil is sure of a rich reward in this section. Peacefully inclined and naturally law abiding, the immigrants who have come to Texas , have proven a valuable addition to its population. Many of their number have made their mark in our history, becoming prominent in professional and political life. Names foreign in orgin are common in Texas commercial circles, success being the usual attendant ot their possessors. On tbe farm the German and his fellows from across the ocean know co superiors." Marion Butler manages to bob get his name into the papers. The Dusting From Sampson. from tbe rion Butler, of North Carolina, who was the head center of tbe Populist party at the time of its demise, a few days ago shook some of tbe sands of Sampson county from his boots and went to Washington. He doubtless had some other kind of business there, but the main thing he did while linger ing in tbe capital city was to get himself well interviewed by the newspaper reporters. It is easy to do that at this dull season, when live matter is searce about the newspaper offices. In the course of his talk to the report ers, Mr. Butler declared that it was a great mistake to suppose that the Populist party had kicked the bucket. He said that the Pops do not care to keep in the scramble, but'lt the other parties do not behave .themselves his folks will rally and whip out both of tbem, or words to that effect. Mr. Butler thinks it absurd to suppose that any Populist will support Mr. Roosevelt, and so that is an end of that idea. And then he says : 'If the Democrats nominate a man of Mr. Cleveland's way of thinking we will have a ticket of our own and get a world of Democratic votes.' Mr. Butler added that these are the things he expects to see happen.

The Journal expresses the fear that there will be too great inoreas9 in berry ing to stamp out the drink eyil.

I have never refused you before. Let that pass, V-; s For I've drank my hut glass, boys, I have drank nry last glass. - . Just look at me now, boys, in rags and disgrace, .

' And I'll do it, God helping! Your smile I let pass, For I've drank my last glass, boyp, I have drank my last glass. Ah ! I reeled home last night ; it was not very late, .

At home, my pet Susie, with her rich golden hair, I saw through the window, just kneel ing in prayer ; From her pale, bony hands her torn sleeves were hung down ; While her feet, cold and bare, shrank beneath ber fccant gown ; And she prayed, prayed for bread, jut a mere crust of bread, For one crust, on her knees,' my poor darling plead, And I heard, with no penny to buy one, alas ! But I've drank my last glass, boys, I have drank my last glass. For Susie, my darling, my wee six-year-old, Though fainting with hunger and shiv ering with cold, There on the bare floor asked God to bless me ! ' And she said, "Don't cry, mamma ! He will ; for you see I believe what I ask for!" Then, so bered, I crept Away from the house ; and that night when I slept . Next my heart lay the pledge. You smile ! Let it pass, For I've drank my last glass, boys, I have drank my last glass. My darling child saved me. Her faith and her love Are akin to my dear sainted mother's above ! I will make my words true or III die in the race, And sobered I'll go to my last resting place : And she shall kneel there, and weep ing thank God No drunkard lies under tbe daisy strewn sod I Not a drop more cf poison my lips shall e'er pass, For I've drank my last glasp, boys, I have drank my last glass. -TO MOTHERS IN THIS TOWN.

Nervous Depression. Summer months are peculiarly the months of nervous diseases, especially nervous prostration and other depressed states of the nervous system. People who are not at all inclined to be nervous or suffer from weak nerves find this time especially trying. Sultry heat and electrical disturbances of the at mosphere are probably the cause of this. Invalids need to be particularly care ful to fortify the nervous system by the use of Peruna. , Mlts Helen Rolof, Kanluana, Sfliw, write i" Several times daring tbe past two years or more my system has bcfn greatly In need of a tonic, and at tnoso times Peruna has been of great help in building up the system, ietorlngVny appetite and nccuring restful sleep. 1 know a gicxt number of women who are using it for tho troubles peculiar to the sex, and with the best results." .-Helen Bolot MISS LOUISE BEBTSKI. 9?'

"A large number of female patients Visit me every year, but the number who are entered on my books as regular patients and are treated by correspond ence is very much larger.

It is true that a good many people have lost faith In late years. They have been swept from their feet by tbe display and glitter and ' manifestation of worldliness and they have despaired of reaching any ot the so-called classes, upper, middle or lower, through the channel of fifteen or twenty-fire years ago.. All this accounts for the place which the brand-new pulpit instruct ions have made for themselves the church with the fiddle and the fews reserved for golfers on the way to the links, and the theory that everybody is as good as saved, even if everybody hates salvation. There has been no end of ' drivel about the "drift of the times" away from religion. But, as intimated, unless the signs are misleading, religion has not loat its hold, and the old-fashioned religion has not been side-trackedfor good or for eyil. Moreover, it would not be surprising if the first to return to ibis kind of religion were the butterflies of fashion. We meau the butterflies with brains, who have never been sutifrfied with, their gauze wings and diluted re ligion, let in through a billiard room in the vestry and a sensational minis ter at tbe altar. They ran see for them selves, this upper crust, that there 13 a plane which they must occupy with the crude and vulgar and osteutalous so long as they do not care to climb higher, and that there are circles which they cannot enter while they choose to to devote their lives to the worship of mammon. Their ambitions, if not ir e promptings of an inner consciousness, that can't be silenced with externals, will drive them back to the old church, and already it is driving back tbe bet ter element among them.

To dis tinguish catarrh of various organs it has been named very differently. One woman has dyspepsia, another bronchitis, another might's disease, another liver complaint, another con sumption, another female complaint. These women would bo very much sur- ?rised to hear that they are all suffer ng with chronic catarrh. JJut it is so, nevertheless. Each one of these troubles and a great many more are simply catarrh that is, chronic inflammation of the mucous lining, of which organ is affected. Any internal remedy that will cure catarrh in one location will cure it in any other location. This is why Peruna has he come so Justly famous in the cure of fe male diseases. It cures catarrh wher ever located . Its cures remain. Peru n does not palliate it cures. "Health and Heauty," sent frc by The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio, "Sfclm-Mllk Brains.' Trenton (N.J.) Gazette. .According to Dr. Francis Burke Brandt, principal of the Central High School, Philadelphia, high-school teach ers find that pupils are frequently sent to tbem from tbe grammar schools with what might be called "skim-milk brains." That a good many bays and girls are graduated from the grammar schools possessing only a theoretical knowledge of the studies that they have pursued is undoubtedly true, and this will be tbe case as long as tbe present system of teaching is followed in tbe public schools. These persons are very properly dubbed fadistsan appellation that tbey resent, but tbe appropriateness of which is realiz d more and more by the licst educators of the country, wbo arc grad ually turning back to tbe simple meth ods of teaching employed iu tbe dis trict school of fifty yop.rs ago and in many instances of to-day. "Statistics show," ays Dr. Brandt, "that about 6,000,000 children in the United States between the ages of fif teen and nineteen years do not attend high school. They are lost somewhere in tbe gra?p of commercialism." It is a cignificant fact that In this commercialism that swallows up so many boys and girls "tkim-milk brains" are not wanted ; theories are not desir ed. Practical common sense, rein forced with a thorough kcowledge of reading, writing and aritbm&tic, is what counts in the sphere of business activities, and for that reason tbe methods of teaching in the public schools should be so simplified as to obviate the possibility of sending a pupil out into the world with "elrim milk brains," excepting in rare in stances. It is now left to the business or com mercial college to fit tbe young man or wcrcao lor a work that tbey rbould be made capable of performing l-y the public school teacher.
