M. Simmons for a six yeirs term Senator Simmons Reelected. his nomination in both branches of the General Assembly were well deserv ed. He has made an able and honorable member in our national councils, and North Carolina should feel proud of his record and the stand he has taken amongst the nation's statesmen. He has served well our people and has represented North Carolina with distinguished ability. His colleagues in the United States Senate and his host of friends and admirers there are doubtless gratified at his return. In honorlrg Senator Simmons with re election the General Assembly of North Carolina honored itself also. ; tut Through dearly bought experience many ol us learn that we are too ready to impugn the motives of others before we have just cause. We often think closely that Not too Distrustful. or course of others into something wrong, when the truth is, we are entire ly erroneous in our conclusions. When others do things for which they ought to be condemned and censured, we are excusable" for condemning and censuring ; but even then it is good to place as good construction as possible on such acts. In the end we may be mistaken in our conclusions of disfavor ; and if so the lighter our condemnation of the other person the less will we have to regret when the whole matter shows up. To be sure, one is not called upon to trust and believe in those whose records are not such as to give us reason for such trust ; but mild judgments against those whose courses we do not fully understand are batter than too harsh criticism hastily given. I III With the present swell of extravagance In almost every phase of life, the question of living a little more cheaply is an important one. The following suggestive Living Cheaply. comfort for show. Put convenience in the place of fashion. Study sim plicity. Refuse to be beguiled Into a style of living above what is required by your position in society and is justified by your resources. Set a fash ion of simplicity, neatness, prudence and inexpensiveness which others will -i gl'id to fo'i?w and tbtik you fo? intro-luci-. Tczch cursslf to do without a thousand and one pretty and showy things which wealthy people purchase, and pride yourself on being just as happy without them as your rich neighbors are with them. Put so much dignity, sincerity, kindness, virtue and love into your simple and inexpensive home that its members will never miss the costly flipperies and showy adornments of fashion, and be happy in the cozy and comfortable apartments." Senator Beveridqe is credited with the following words of warning to the white people of the South in a speech in the United States Senate Senator Beverldge to tbe South.' the enormous majority of the entire white stock of that section, are in creasingly sending their children to the mills and thus working the future of the white race, the negroes of the South are increasingly sending their children to school, and thus improving the future of the black race. We are deliberately weakening the white race of the South, while gradually strengthening the black race of the South. I am glad to see the negro children going to school ; but it is heart-breaking to know that the white children are being made their Inferior physically, nervously, and in the far future, menially. And to what end? To the end that the already un healthy fortunes of Northern capitalists who own these Southern cotton mills shall be made still greater. The nation is alarmed over the unright eous power ol unrighteous fortunes; and yet we go on swelling those for tunes with the blood and lives of American children." tttt The Greenville Reflector's views on this subject coincide with ours. It says : "Editors are not entitled to any more gratuities at the handj of railroads Newspapers and Railroads. majority of ask nor desire such gratuities. At the same time the newspapers should not be prohibited from making legitimate advertising contracts with rail roads, and any legislation looking to that end is wrong. If a railroad wants space in a newspaper and fhe editor of such paper is willing to accept a mileage book of equal value to the pace used inpayment lor such adver tising, It is purely a business transaction that affects only the two parties concamed. Mr. Justice's bill offered in the legislature to d9ny newspapers and railroads making s ich contracts is beyond reason. It would be just as reasonable to propose a law that would deny an editor the privilege of ac cepting a farmer's wood or produce on subscription aocount, or the mer chant's goods on advertising account. Neither is Mr. Justioa's proposi tion to compel railroads to advertise in all newspapers in towns touched by the railroads wise. It would be unfair to the railroads to force them to adver tise where they did not want to or it was not their interest to do so. The law regarding contnets batween newspapers and railroads would be better to remain as it ia." FOR OVER SIXTY YEARS.

Carolina last week reelected Senator in the United States Senate, commenc ing March 4, 1907. This is indeed high en dorsement, for Senator Simmons and the ex pressions of unstinted praise uttered for him in we have studied human nature so we can easily interpret the action clipped from the Carthage Blade Is and worth studying : "Substitute some days ago : "This word to our Southern brothers, and it is a word of doom. Whi'e the white working people of the South, composing than other people, and we think a large the editors of North Carolina neither j Nearly every person who is subject to attacks from the stomach' suffers frcm a morbid dread of a dietetic treat ment for relief, that is three-fourths starvation, and oue-fourth toast and milk.

A great deal of harm Is done by self- drugging for the relief of various real or imaginary ills. Every man, of course, believes him self a doctor, and c f en thinks be in better able to attack a cough or a case of rheumalif m of a headache, whether it be his own or another's than those who make the cure of disease a special study. All be has to do is to make up his mind what the trouble is and anj one can tell a cough when be has it -and then take a something that is good for a cough." There is nothing easier. The only objection to the plan Is, that what Is good for the cough may be bad for tbe cougher. So it is with a headache. Alrnot-t any oain in the head not due to actual brain disease may bft moderated, if not relieved temporarily by some form, cf "headache powder;" but a frequent re source to this meaus of cure may fatal, ly weaken the heart. When this stops beating the headaches cease to trouble, but the patient is not in condition to kaow or care. Less serious, but not much so, Is the abuse ol tonics. A true tonic is any thing that promotes tbe neutrition of the body. This may be done by In creasing the appetite and improving digestion which is the function of the bitter tonics ; or by improving the con dition of the blood by adding to it the iron it has lost ; or by supplying the, system with some needed substance, such as fat in cod liver oil or finally by stimulating the tissues to increased absorption, an action which is ascribed to arsenic, mercury, and others ol the mineral tonics. But these are not the "tonics" to which people ar apt to resort when they run down, accordine to Youth's Companion. They take to stimulants, alcohol usually, and think they are getting strong because they feel better after each dose. The alcohol in the "tonic" is disguised, and the user, per haps a conscientious teetotaler, would be shocked to learn that what he was taking to give him strength had more alcohol in it than has the strongest whiskey. If the system is seriously run down, a physician should be con sulted, who will be able to give what is needed, whether iron, or bark, or gentian, or cod-liver oil, to correct the undeilying condition that causes the debility. If I Only Had Capital. Carthage Blade. The above words were recently utter ed iu our hearing by a worthy boy and undoubtedly they are often reiterated by many who are out of employment, or have little or nothing to do. Tell all such we pay, you have home capi tal, you have hands, feet, bone, muscle, health and are not these capital? What more capital has God given any body? "But If I only had a few thous ands In cash capital," says the young man. But these are better than cash capital, for no one can take them from you, and with these yon can earn cash. Our men of wealth End influence did not start with any cash capital. They went to work with their plow, the hoe, the jack plane or ax, and in time their capital brought them a rich harvest. Ah ! but there's tbe rub ; you don't want to work. You want money on credit so you can play tbe gentleman, speculate and end ycur career by playing vagabond. You want to marry a rich girl who will support you, while you wear fine clothes, smoke cigars and be a gentle man of leisure. Shame on you, young man ! Go to work with the capital you have and you will soon make interest enough upon it to give you as much money as you need. If you cannot matte money on what capital you have, you c uld n t if you had a larger amount in cash If yoij waste your present capital you would waste nroney il you had it. So don't stand around, a great helpless fellow, waiting for something to turn up, but go to work. Take the first work you can get to do and do it well. Always do your best, and 1! you man age your capital that God has given you. well, you will soon have p'enty more to manage. CURED OF LUNG TROUBLE.

DAVISON, RUTLAND VT. rnratr A GREAT MORAL WASH DAT. Feb. 3, '07 (Gen. 8:1-16.) The question has ofen been de bated why the wicked are allowed to live. Wouldn't it be a good thing.for the world if all the evil people in it Could suddenly be got rid rif. Sur)-' pose we could get together all tha drunkards, thieves, liars, libertines, blasphemers, murderers, and big and little rascals of every description, in and out of prison, and could take! them out in a leaky boat onto the Pacific Ocean where the water is five mlics deep, and sink them to the bdttoni of the sea, ahould we not at Orlce have a regenerated earth, and a world equal to paradise? But We forget that that sort of a schema has been tried once, and it didn't work. There was a great wash wits scrubbed, and soaked and disin fected, to get rid of evil, and the ed, to get rid of evil, and the ground had not become thoroughly dry before sin broke out again in a mot unexpected quarter. The fact is there is so much depravity in the best of us that not a human being would be left if sin was to be elimi nated by drowning those who prac tice it, The tree bt humanity has been cut down to the root, but when It sprouted again, it bore the same fruit. It has been settled that water cannot drown iniquity. Fire cannot burn it out. Hoofs cannot trample it out. Hammers cannot pound it out, Prisons cannot punish It out. Edu cation cannot grow it out. The mll lenlum never will be introduced by these methods. Still, if the experi ment of the flood had not been tried, there are a lot of little reformers would have taken credit for the Idea, and would have been pro" if: c of argu ment to show the feasibility of It. And there a good many i eo; lo now who don't believe such a thins or. happened. And they ask speculative questions about the size of the Ar'-., and the extent of the flood, and the cargo, and the supplies, and who the ship carpenters were, and how Noah came to be acquainted with marine architecture, and how he embarked all his miscellaneous cargo, and where they landed, and why no por tions of that Great Eastern of anti diluvian days has never been found, and a thousand and one queries that may or may not have any bearing on the case. And weak-kneed disciples get frightened because they cannot answer these fool questions, and be gin to talk about a flood of limited area, and limited depth, and end by admitting that the whole thing may have been an allegory. Non sense! Noah faced these same questions In his day. He was the butt of ridi cule for a century. He lived in a hor net's nest of abuse and derision. But he never spent any time advising the critics as to how he was going to do it. His only answer to their Jibes "and jeers was the resolute whack of his hammer against the Cyprus sides of his ship, growing by inches before their eyes. There were people up to the day the flood started, who ex pressed the opinion that "it wasn't going to be much of a shower." But they changed their tune soon after ward. This is not the main question. The main question is: How is this old world to be made a decent place to live in? That was the question then; that is the question now. There are some peoplo who look upon sin as a wart on the hand that may be eaten off with a sharp acid. They Bay it is only a knot in life's string that a child may untie. They regard it as a little grit on the smooth wheel, which tissue paper will remove. On the contrary it is a gangrene, and the limb must be amputated to save the body from complete destruction. In Noah's day It was a choice between leaving the world to be destroyed by a flood of lust and brutality that was rolling on fathoms deep to exter mination, or cleansing and purifying it by water. It was God's flood against man's flood. Still It is a comforting thing to know that it will never happen again. Mere destruction has been proved a failure. Destruction may be necessary, but it is never an in strument of regeneration. Many a man has been punished, only to come out of prison a hardened criminal. Scores of men are in prison for doing the very things they saw other men punished for. When judgment over took that forger, the bank cashiers who knew him said, "What an awful thing this is!" And then they delib erately went to their desks and did the same thing. Men go with wide open- eyes into the path of old in iquities and into the pit of old pun ishments. Within the very shadow of the gallows men hatch the most de testable and alarming crimes. Noah and his sons looking out of the window of the ark saw glorious abutments of a heavenly bridge forming in the sky. As they looked the mystic fingers of light swung it across the heavens, the seven pris matic colors, violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red. And under that magnificent arch of the rainbow they floated up to the beach1 of a new world. No more flood. Beautiful thought. We have some-! thing to look at to steady our faith. It is beyond our touch. We cannot epoil it with our finger prints. It fol 3 owe the storm and is. a sign of peace. Employment and hardship prevent melancholy. Johnson. Measuring H:s by the Yard Stick. ' - " 1 Newton Enterprise". Mr. Frank Rader was down in Moun-: tain Vreek township Monday. At Mr. Auetin hernll'd he found them dree ing the biggest tea be ever s.tw. Mr ! Rader's curiosity was aroused by the 1 great length of the hog, and having 110 ; rule or yardstick; he took the measure- ! ment from tip to tip, with a pd and brought it with him to Newton.
