O. Taylor during the Christmas holidays. He has been lecturing in many places in Stirred Mors nitou. ported his lectures to the Charlotte "Observer as follows : "Morganton is being stirred as never before in its history with a temper ance reviv.il. Dr. "3. O. Taylor, of Boston, is giving a course of lectures on good citizenship and scientific temperance, by invitation of the pastors. His vis'.t has no election significance, his work being purely educational. The Baptist church, where the meetings are being held, is wholly inada quate to accommodate the people. A!l ava'.lable spac? is occupied every night with extra chairs, and standing room is at a premium. The rain does not abate the interest. It was generally believed before Dr. Taylor came that he would not get much of a hearing. It is now conceded that he is the most powerful advocate of tomperance ever listened to in this town. The more intelligent classes of people are supporting the move ment. Saloon men and their patrons are seen in the audience. A revolu tion of temperance sentiment will inevitably follow. The lectures, five in number, close Wednesday night. Dr. Taylor begins at Waynesville Thurs day night, continuing till Wednesday." t t t t Dr. Os lee, who recently at Johns Hopkins University made certain ut terances about the uselessness of men over sixty and the weakness of men over forty, Dr. Lyman The Two Extremes. who thinks "that it is possible to enjoy good health and activity up to a' century and a half by a proper understanding of human possibilities, and the exercise ot this knowledge." The Saturday Evening Post, as quoted by the Atlanta Constitution, settles them both thus : "One of the many hopeful signs of the times is the apparent decay ot the breed of so-called great men those mighty personalities that in former times stood out like a solitary tree in a vast praiie. The reason for It, of course, is the distinction of all those old-time monopolies of brains which stunted all human beings except a few who, by chance rather than superi ority of fiber, grew and developed. There are thousands, literally thous ands, of men now living who, if they had lived a century or so ago and had done a work similar to that they are doing without any very sonorous fan fare upon the trumpets of fame, would have been the talk of the world and the main top'c of history. And how many of the so-called great achieve ments, of so-called great statesmen, soldiers and thinkers of former times would be impossible to-day, because those achievements depended chiefly upon the ignorance and incapacity of the overwhelming mass of the men ot tlieir day." tut- From some things that haye been written recently it would seem that the responsibility of lawyers is being considered a little more carefully than formerly. It is openly charged here and Respousibility of "... . , . .there that lawyers play a prominent part in the lawyers. framing of legislative bodies ; and that whenever it is desired to make a law inactive and inefficient the lawyers are looked to to do the work. And this brings up the question whether or not business men are more moral than lawyers. Colliers Weekly says : "Formerly the politicians were blamed exclusively for much bad legislation that is now charged in part to the business men who influence legislation. The role taken by the ablest lawyers in making legislation ineffective is being more rigidly expounded than it ever has been before. " The impression conveyed is that the business men wish such and such a law enacted, or wish to evade the operations of some law already on the statute books, and resort to the lawyer's ingenuity to bring to pass that which is desired in the case. So much does this opinion pre vail that the same writer quoted above thinks that the combined force of the keen business man and the shrowd lawyer must be met in defense of the law. He says : "The public faces the necessity of contriving laws so drawn that the very ablest man in the country can invent no trickery to beat them." This may teem rather a severe indictment against both the business men and the lawyers,but it has been made and they must rest un der it or disprove it. t t t t The Richmond Xews-Leader makes comment on the billion and a half dollar Congress, and intimates that both sides might have had something to do with the extravagance. It says : Perhaps Some On Both The sn0uters against Republican extrava Sides. gance in ihe administration of the government now have another text on r which they are already shouting themeelves hoarse in expounding the doctrine ct economy and the necessity of a change, due to that extravagance. The books of the Fifty-eighth Congress which has expired haye been added up and the footing makes this showing- The appropriations for the first session aggregated $781,172, 275.18, and for the second, $818,478,915.81. This gives' a grand total of $1 590 651,289 99, and the body passes into history as a billion and a half dollar Congress, and a little more. The figures represent an enormous ex penditure, exceeding that of the Fifty-fifth Congress, which had to provide for the expanses ot the Spnish-Amarican war by $31,538,6a2 and are cal culated to give conservative people somewhat of a shocic. But when we had the first billion dollar Congress, which raised such a howl, the late Tom Reed contributed a good deal to quieting the howl by his remsrk -that this was a billion dollar country. Sioce then our growth has been so rapid that it is just possible that it would ba apt to suggest that we have expanded to a biiiion and a half dollar country. We are no apologist for Republican extravagance of the Republican party, and we doubt not that the Fi'ty-ei-hth Congress made some unnecessary appropriations. But be fore ioinWvery vociferously in the shouting afore-mentioned we shall await an itemized statement and an exposition as to Democratic share of responsibility tor the big outlay. How far did the minority, by omission and commission and log-rolling, in order to kmo m repair their fences, contribute to swelling the appropriations? Before this we have known a hue and cry about congressional extravagance to prove a boomerang to those who raised it." - If taken this month, keeps you well all summer.

The Man Who Lcrt His Fortune but Enriched a Nation. J. O. Atkinson, in Christian Sun. 4 The man who invented the cotfon gin was not born in the South nor was be a farmer. Eh Whitney was born in Massachusetts December 8, 1765, educated at Yale, carna South in 1792, and settled in Georgia as a school teacher. Mrs. Greene, widow of Gen. Xathaniel Greene, was a patron and friend and she suggested to him that he undertake to contrive a machine for separating seed from cotton, it then bfiing a day's task for one person to pick the seeds from one pound of green seed cotton. Whitney toiled inces santly on his machine for a long time, having first to make the tools and even draw the wire with which to work. But perseverance began to bring Us reward, and after awhile his model was made when, the rumor of it getting abroad, a mob broke into bis workshop one night and stole his machine be fore he could get it patented. Before he could make another the country was rapidly filling up with cotton gins. South Carolina, after litigation, allow ed the unfortunate inventor $50,000 for his invention and Xorth Carolina granted him a per centage on machines purchased, about all of which Whit ney spent defending his rights as in ventor. His efforts being fruitless in this behalf, without fortune, but not without courage, be left the South, went to Connecticut where by getting assistance of a partner with some money, he engaged in the manufacture of fire arms and made a fortune. It is not possible to conceive of the influence ot this one invention on sub sequent history. It revolutionized the chief industry of the boutn and affect ed, in one way and another, practically eyery industry in the United States and most industriesot the entire world. In 1791, 199,316 pounds of cotton were exported trom the United States. Whitney's invention was in 1793. Seven yeais later, in 1800, 17,789,803 pounds ot cotton were exported. Now our cottcu exports average per year considerably over two hundred million dollars worth. And the increased con sumption at home has been no less marked. Before Whitney it took one man at least two years to turn out one average bale of cotton. Now fifteen to fifty bales per day re not considered high averages with a good gin and three men. Before Whitney there were no cot ton factories, no cottnn exchange, no cotton export trade, no large cotton farms. Eternity alone can measure the possibilities of one human life. Moral : Eyery life is a fountain out ot which flow many streams, some to bless and to enrich, others to blight and to impoverish mankind. If we keep the tountaiu clear God will look after the streams. STARTLING MORTALITY. Statistics show startling mortality from appendicitis and peretonitis.

CHEMICAL Reveals That "Pe-ru-na is Calculated to Tone up the System, llestore the Func tions and Procure Health." SO SAYS PROF. L. & FILLER, CHEMIST. Prof. L. J. Miller, late Professor cf Chemistry and Botany of the High School of Ypsilanti, Mich., writes from 3327 N. Clark Street, Chicago, 111., S3 follows : "As several of mv friends have spoken to rr, 3 of the favorable results obtained through the use of Pcruna, cspecL"7y ii cp?cs of catarrh, I examined it most thoroughly to learn its contents. "I found it composed of extracts of herbs and barks of most valuable medicinal qualities combined with other ingredients, delicately balanced, calculated to tone up the eystem, restore the functio:i3 and procure health. "I consider Pcrxna one cf ihe most skillfully and scientifically prepared medicines, which the pvkUc cr.n use with safety and success. "PROF. L. J. MILLER. Rebuilding a City. Christian Sun. Just a little over twelve months ago one hundred and fifty acres of the finest business blocks in Baltimore Here laid in ashes and millions iu property went up in smoke. Today over one-half of the burned district is replaced with buildings far finer than those that were burned, while the le maining portion is rapidly building up. Streets have been widened and beautified, and the city docking facili ties considerably enlarged ; warehouses and business houses that are built tower much higher in the air and cost more money. A great Municipal Improvement Association hae been formed to consider and plan for a bet ter eewerage system, larger school buildings, park improvements, etc.t that will cost the city nearly or quite thirty million dollars. Baltimore's finances are strong and her balance sheet clean, and it. is proposed to bond the city and carry on a splendid work of city enlargement and improvement so that when the city is rebuilt it will be a far finer city than heretofore. We hardly know in this life vhat we are capable of till pressure comes and necessity forces. Alter the civil war, the South, with desolate homes and untenanted fields, rose Phoenix like, from the scene of her own ruins. We never know what we can do until we haye to try. What wealth man could create if be labored and bus banded all the time as be does when pressure comes ! Yet we hear people speak of the "poverty of nature and the niggardliness of the soil."
