Forty mil lion dollars is the figure of damage to crops and live stock in Kansas as now estimated."

The people generally seemed to approve the action of the mob. The private intelligence of the trouble did not agree with official statements. At best it showed a feeling ot great unrest and deep dissatisfaction of the people. While to the heroic, courageous man there is no suoh thing as luck ; there is a compensation tor pluck that is sometimes called lnck. It seems The Lucky Tracker. what is often called the lucky man. Good prices have prevailed generally for the truck products this season, and truckers are In good spirits and are handling money in good quantities. To be sure, the trucking industry is not always the same year by year, for prices vary ; but generally the early trucker, like the early anything else, does well. 1- - Counting by the possible link of human iiyes, we are not so far removed from the people of long ago. We are nearer the ancients than we think if .. . we would count by the chain of long Hyed per- Not -so Par, f . sons. The Youth's Companion observes : "The widow of the man who wrote 'America m 1832 died last month, and a wo man whose father fought in the War of the Revolution died only a few weeks earlier. It would take only twenty-five lives to reach back to the great Caesar's time if each lasted say ninety, years. , Each person in that line could have seen his predecessor and his successor. As noted in The Companion in January, Thoreau found a man on Cape Cod in 1849 who heard the guns fired at the Battle ot Bunker Hill and saw Washington in Boston." " ' ':;-r:V-.-: "? '"'':?.: i - .' .

"North Caroli New Life Everywhere. than at any tleman of considerable observation some days ago. . And it is even so. Wherever you turn you may see signs of marked Improvement. In some places it is the rapid growth of towns ; in others it is improvement in agri cultural perauits ; and then again it is a quickening ot educational interests. If it Is not one thing it is another. The State is a busier place than it has ever been"oelore ; and we are just beginning to learn what ie"feal industry. In the no distant future North Carolina will be able to rank high up in many things which heretofore our people have' been slow to learn. In nothing has the State made more rapid strides during the past few years than in education. Our schools are growing in efficiency, teachers are commanding better salaries and all things point to even better things in all these different lines et endeavor. ;" "I would rather be anything than a kicker," mused a Ieyef-headed man of much observation ; and while wo are not at liberty to give his name anT all that he thinks and says about kickers; thepy ' n0 cker' i reason to believe that they "are not of gooV standing with him. To bekicker and a growler and a grumbler and a howler and a grim-face generally at the balance ol the world because, for sooth, every one does not agree with the opinions and prejudices of said kicker, is a state of mind totally undesirable and must necessarily vender those who answer to the description quite miserable themselves and rather unpleasant associates for those who do not like kickers. The Littleton -News Reporter soliloquizes about a kicker thus : 'Home industries have (he preference over foreign concerns in the barts of all true citizens. The v man who sees beauty and attractions in the homes of .other people, but'; none in his own, is an unfaithful husband or brother. The very object of which be complains is often made so by his own wortblessness. As in the home, so it is in the town or country in which the kicker lives. He is a curse to his home, his town, or country." - . ( ...... Nothing should appeal with more force to the better 'nature and merci- . ful instincts ot every one than a p.'ea for mercy to the poor dumb animal J ' . . that suffers many things even under the most wrwukr nw faTCrabJe circumstances: Every city and town ought to have a regular organization for the prevention of cruelty to ani- mats, and lew things would more pointedly illustrate to the young the beauties of a mercifulness that ought to be seen and felt amongst all civi lized people. The Greenville Reflector thinks that tbrtnen of Greenville are too busy to give time to such an organization.' Ifc may be the same, ease with Scotland Neck and other towns, and in that case, as the Reflector' thinke for Greenrille, the women may have t do it if it is done. Here is the estimate the Reflector puts upon such an organization : "Such an or ganization has an 'influence aside from its 'xbalb purpose' that it distinctly wholesome and elevating.

Priday is a L(ncky Day.; Contraryto all tradition and to the firm belief of the civilized world, Fri day is the luckiest day of the week. Such is the conclusion reached by a competent And painstaking statistician, the results of whose labors are exploit ed in The Chicago Tribune, j 'After a thorough bearch of statjetical tables, he discovered that, for greai calamities and disasters Monday is the most unlucky day and Friday is the luckiest. . ; A summary of the results shows tht following: r . j The worst day for murders Sunday. The worst day for fireaMonday. " The worst day for shipwrecks Thursday. . '.r The worst day for railroad accident Friday. ! The worst day for floods Saturday. It will be seen that the fears of those who refrain from beginning a journev on Friday are to some extent justified But in nothing but railroad accident does Friday sustain its reputation bay ing a very small record for shipwrecks, murders and fires. A table of average for the various days.ot the reek show. that 10. 23 per cent, of 4 disasters took place on a Friday the normal averages would have been over 14 per cent. that 10.56 per cent, occurred on a Tuesday, 14 per cent, on a Thurs day, 14 per cent on a Wednesday, 16i per cent, on both Saturday and Sun day, and 13 per cent, on Monday. Wednesday seems to be the best day on which to begin a journey. We are reminded also that Columbus started on his voyage of discovery on a Friday, first sighted land on a Friday, and discovered the American continent on a Frldayi This day is certainly a lucky one - in American1 history. Tl e battle bt Bunker Hill was fought 4n a Friday,' the . motion jof John Adams tbathe United States are and ougl t to be Independent was made on a Fri day, Saratoga , was surrendered on a Friday and the Merrimac was sunk iu Santiago harbor on a Friday, v We might add that the-Mayflower landed on . a Friday and that Gaorge Washington was born Friday, Febru ary 22, 1732. - The Anti-Friday superstition is prob ably due to the fact that Christ was crucified on thap day.

The next morning the office was crowded with applicants, all bright and many suitable. . He bade them wait until all should arrive, and then arranged them in a row and said he would tell them a story, note their comments, and judge from that whom he would choose. 'A certain farmer," began the law yer, 'was troubled with a red squirrel that got in through a hole in his barn and stole his seed corn. He resolved to kill the squirrel at the first oppor tunity. Seeing him go in at the hole one noon, he took his shotgun and fired away ; the first shot set the barn on fire." "Did the barn burn?" asked one of the boys. The lawyer, without answering con tinued: ''And seeing the barn oti fire, the farmer seized a pail of water and ran to put it out." "Did he put it out?" asked another. '"As he passed inside, the door shut to, and the barn was soon in flames. When the hired girl rushed out wilft more water " "Did they all burn up?" asked an other boy. ; - s The lawyer went on without answer: "Then the old lady came out, and all was noise and contusion, and everybody, was trying to put out the fire."

Youth's Companion. A recent story, is a study of the char acter of a man who from youth has a conviction that he is born to some ex traordinary experience. As he growd older the idea becomes ' more sharply defined. The experience is to be pain ful and tragic, and is to remove him (rom the plane of ordinary life. The idea takes possession of him and domi nates Ma career. He undertakes noth ing of importance, since it may be interrupted by catastrophe. He does not permit bimseli love he scarcely ventures on friendship because he be lieves himself marked for disaster. One woman, to whom he confides his secret, shares his apprehension.

In evuy community there are citi zens who would scorn to be called repu diators and who would not think of "beating" their creditors out of one penny of a debt honestly due, yet these same people will not hesitate to "beat" the State, in so far as it is poible, out of money that is justly due it as taxes. Tbsse citizens do not really believe such action dishonest, otherwise tbey would not practice it. The question arises, then, are taxes honest debts? Has the State, the county, the town a right to call upon you and your property to contribute to its support? Does the public, or ganized as State, county or town, give you in exchange for your tax money a consideration ot such value as lo make the contract which ' you entered into when you became a citizen, bind ing on both parties? The contract entered into was some thing like this : The public contracted f to protect you in the enjoyment of life. ( pmpertv whe you agfeed to bear your part in the support and defense of the public organized as a government, so long as the organi.a- ! tion was In reality a government fuoct5on8 tbereof . ner- ... These questions must bo settled, and .if lbe consideration passe, the debt ' owed the couhtry becomes as binding 1 in conscience as the debt owed an indi vidual. No one bo reflects will deny lhat that this is a consideration of iminenne va'ue passing between the partle to the contract. The public protects the citizen. Not ! only. life itself but every dollar's worth of property is protected by the strong arm of the public in the regular ctsn- nels of government. For this protect ion a debt is just so surely .contracted as by similar dealings between Individ uals ; by virtue of this debt the citizen becomes a debtor to the public.
