It has been noted in some el the State papers that at the alumni meeting and class reunion at the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery four North Carolinians were chosen for speakers Dr. S. P. Ililliard, of Rocky Mount ;Dr. George A. Carr, of Durbftm ; Dr. B.irringor, of Goldsboro ; and Dr. J. E. Wyche, of Greensboro. ItU The Wilmington Messenger mentions the strides in southern journal is:n in the following pleasing paragraph : "Journalism at the south is Strides in Journalism ery, Ala., to Birmingham in order that The Advertiser of the former city may be delivered to its readers in the northern part of the state at an early hour in the morning. A train chartered by this paper leaves Montgomery at 12 :50 a. m. every day and arrives at Birmingham at 5 :30, making vari ous connections en route. We believe this is the first exclusive news paper train in the south. This marks the beginning of a new era in jour nalism at the south and shows what progress it has made in li e last few years. No doubt other b'g newspapers will soon follow the exa mple of the Montgomery Advertiser." itn And now comes the statement th it the berry crop of Eastern Carolina will not be prolitable this season because of over-production. It had omo to be a calculation with the people of the State Overproduction Again geuerally .thal lho berry busincss was to bo pcr. manent, and that those engaged in that industry could feel secure in devotiDg their energies to it entirely. But it seems a little strange that the over production should have bean so great as to reduce the industry to zero in one season. Ic is quite probable thit there h.is been soma turn ajainst the berry- farmers besides thn overproduction. It is a general opinion that there is plenty of money in the North, and they are fond of beiriea up there. Perhaps some undue irfluence has been at work to lower the price or the berries besides the overproduction. If so it should be over come in s m3 w;iy so that the berry growers may yet get good money from their industry. mi la this column we made comment on the destruction of forests by fire?, and urged that the forests be better protected. Tte question of timber riaut Trees for Cross Ties the subject the Wilmington Star closes an editorial as follows: "With timber growing scarce and the railroads facing a problem for future supply of crosstles, the people of North Carolina should begin to appre ciate the value of a tree big or little. We observe that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company goes to the expense and trouble of planting millions of trees, and yet while we have them growing In our forests we are reckless with them, both as to axemen aud forest fires. Every young tree as well as the old tree on your land has a money value and the fact should be re membered. If we do not preserve our forests and protect our timber re sources, future generations will look on us as prodigals or imbicilee pro bably both." int A teuiodical of Inllueace aud wid j circulation opens au editorial para graph with the statement that we ar) living in a revolution. The revo lution referred to in the very able and pleasing How About the Morl J edltodal u oJ induatry and educatlon And truly one can not close eyes to the fact that the statement is true. The world's progress is indeed groat almost dazzling.' There is tre mendous quickening in educational interests throughout the country, and one might almost say that the strides in industry and invention are wild. Is the moral development of the times keeping pace with the educational and industrial development? Are the people as particular aud persistent in moving up the moral influences as they are to count well. In other matters? Perhaps some one says that this Is a more difficult ques tion to decide than are the questions about industrial and educational de velopment, and that one scarcely knows where to commence the investi gation. There is no better place than at home and in your own commun ity. You feel the very electric power of the various influences at woik to build up the material interests of your community, perhaps. Do you Jeel a corresponding unseen force about you that is lifting and helping men morally? In the mad rush for money and that which money will give, do men remember to maintain the moral force J abiut tham as dii our forefathers? In tne persistent strides in education do men take pains to see to it that mor ality is considered as well as the intellectual development of the young? In teaching the truths of sciena.', mathematics, language and the like, is there sufficient moral instruction lhatall these truths shall boused in making the world better as well 83 more prosperous?

It if a well-known and deploiable ftctlhat many a hotisekoaper dreads the airival of Sunday because the preparation of an elaborate course din ner upon th it dyn)t only mars her peace of miud and mikes impostible her requisite mim-ints ot quiet and rest, but oftentimes converts her into an unavoidable b.tckslidar from practi cil religious duty. The mother or el der sister of a large and exacting fam ily is most frequently the victim of Sunday dinnar slavery, because the bulk of the cooking and of retting the table and houe In order usually de volves upon them, while the others idly loll around either raiding the papers or fussing with their toilets for church appearance. If the order o' duty was systematically reversed so as to let "mother" or "big sister" read a little atid make themselves presentable for Church service, the rest of the family would eoon learn why the regular vie timsof Sunday cooking and "picking up" so often looked grumpy and ex h lusted and apparently "irreligious." Every member of a family, even the males, who cannot afford servants, can help in little ways to 'escn Surday drudgery. by doing clnresor marketing, preparing fuel and other necessary ser vice on the day nr night belore. Bread, pies, and puddings and meat maybe cooked and baked the day previous, and warmed up, If desired, alter Church service. All members of the house hold should help to air and arnrnge their own rooms and avoid careless distribution of pipers and other reading matter around rooms and verandas, or of leaving ln's and other wearables about chairs p.ni tables. Again imless special company is invited or the Sun day dinner is the only meal of the week whereat a full supply of material comforts cau Le supplied, would tot a simple repast be just as pa'atable and less of a plavirsh effort for ' mother" and "big bister"?

CJueen o' the west, by proud Pacific's so i, Enthroned in majesty I saw thee sit ; Thy reign upon that coast was absolute And n) man questioned it. Treasures were thine that Babel could not boast ; Splendors were there that Egypt could not show ; bhlps thronged thy bay, a vast and mightyjhost, From all the lands men know. Men g:1i!9d upon thy l)0autIeg and were dazed ; Men siw thy splendor and thy pride with awe ; lhy glories dazzled and thy wealth amazed The eyes of all who saw. There spake a voice an unfamiliar tongue, But oeean heard it, and the moun tain peaks ; Men he ird it oftener when the earth w is young, But now it sometimes speaks. Then straightway all was changed; before my eyes Crashed down thy pillars of the Golden Gate And wrapped around with murky mysteries Lay prone and desolate. Would'st know the sequel?

Our Thoughts Shapa Our Lives Every day we are becoming like our thoughts. If they are mean and selfish we cannot prevent ourselves from be. coming so. If they are unclean and evil, our character and conduct will inevitably, be shaped by them. It is true that "as a man thinketh in his heart bo is he." As Charles Kingstey says : "Think a yU ' y0U waEt wnat you like, what respect people ought to pay you, and then to you nothing will be pure. You will spoil everything you touch; you will make sin and misery for yourself out of everything whicn God sends you ; you will be a3 wretched as you choose ... . , ' on earth or in heaven either.' And on the other hand, loving thoughts will produce loving acts : and a generous, kindly way of regarding others in our own minds, will bring us to a generous, kindly treatment oi them in daily life.
