Colored Woman of toe Old South Gees to County Home-Member of White Church. (Xcws and Observer.) 'Aunt Mary" Williams, perhaps the oldest woman in North Carolina and certainly one of the most highly esteemed old-time colored people of i Wake county, wa? brought to the 1 u i- 'a , 1 counfcV Home irom Apex yesterday f by Deputy Sheriff T. H. Walls. ! "Aunt Mary" does not know her ; age, nor dos tny one else. She is ! certain she has seen 111 years and i more, but how much older she does not know. White people who have known her all their lives say they have no doubt that she is 120. She is a real negro of the old South --i. ,r . .. -. . . . ! . . cncllsu Ol the old-Hmt darkev. She was an ae-ed ', woman at the time of the emancinn- tion. She was a very pious woman and for many years before the Civil War she was a member of the Olive Chapel Baptist church-. When free- : dom cam she preferred to continue j her membership in this church with her white friends, and was allowed to do so. She is still Ity'al member of that church. For the last five or six years the Olive Chapel church has supported her and fcven now would continue to j do so but for the fact that she is un i able to care for herself and it is im- ; practicable to get any one to stay at i her cabin and wait on her. For some years before the war she belonged to the late Robbin Williams After the war a house was built for her on the old Williams plantation and she has lived there ever since in peace with all the world and enjoy ing the high esteem of many friends among the white people. Dr. R. T. Vann, president of the Baptist University, at the conference of representatives of the two races, : held in Raleigh last week, paid her a high tribute in an address and spoke fittingly of the tender ties that exist between the old-time darkey, of which she is a type, and the Caucasian race in the Southland. Aecut Irish Potatoes. (Southern Agriculturist.) Experiments in planting Irish po tatoes are made by the thousands each season, but after all the tests the seed that has two or more eyes are considered the best. The second crop of potatoes grown in the South is a better seed potato than the first crop grown in the North". Unsprout sd potatoes are better than those that have sprouted in the cellar. The long white sprouts must be rubbed off at planting time; the growth of sprouts have weakened the tubes for seed. Potatoes should not be cut more than two days before planting, and it has been our habit to sprinkle dry ashes over the fresh cut potatoes to prevent the escape of liquid from the tuber. Medium sized potatoes ire the most suitable for seed. One aye to each piece is not sufficient. Experiments have proven that half and whole potatoes give larger yields than one eye, but the increase from planting whole potatoes is not suffi cient to justify the expense, unless it be very small. The rule has been that when potatoes are high as they are at present, cut into quarters, four pieces, and when cheap, into halves, if of medium size. The starch and ingredients within the pieces of potatoes sustain and feed the young sprouts until they are above the soil several inches. If the piece of seed potato is small the item will grow stunty and struggle for physical existence. . Plant the seed six inches deep, but cover with soil only four inches. Run a harrow over the land as the plants begin to show signs of coming through the soil to kill the weeds. Repeat the harrowing when stems are three inches high. Cultivate shallow, keeping land as near level as possible. Sprinkle the vines with Paris green and flour to destroy the Colorado beetle. One hundred bush els of potatoes per acre is the aver age yield. If you want to have 200 bushels, use the following fertilizer per acre: Nitrate of soda C00 pounds. Cotton seed meal 600 pounds. Acid phosphate 800 pounds. Apply at the rate of 800 pounds per acre, mixing before planting seed in furrow with plow. mnriHKT action of the Kidneys censes backache, himbngo,Rh(uniitism.

Young men and young women of ten shrink from meeting "people of prominence, either because they feel that that they have riot had enough 1 experience to converse vith thpn I or because they think that they would not know hov to act in their presence. This is a very short sighted policy. If you would make the most of your self, never miss a chance1 of meeting and talking to people who can help you. When Lincoln was a boy he had an exaggerated idea of the men who were making history in a large way; but he said that, after meeting and talking with some of them, he was surprised to find that they did not differ materially from other people he knew, or from himself. They did not seem to him to have any par ticularly brilliant talents, and he saw no reason why he coi'ld not do as much as Iney had done. If you are ambitious to get on, school yourself to meet, without fear or embarrassment, every per son of importance you can, and try always to get something from them wnicn win neip you, some inspira tion, encouagement, or idea. Scru tinize and study these great charac ters very carefully, and try to get at the secret of their success. There is nothing which will add to one's culture and education, to one's personal appearance, more than the constant effort at self -improvement; and there is a good education in meeting people older and more ex perienced than yourself, especially if you approach them in a simple, respective attitude; but, if you close up like a clam, and are afraid to say your soul is your own; if you show in your very manner that you think you are inferior to them, you will not be able to put yourself in a posi tion to learn anything of value. While you should not be too bold, you must not be timid. You must hold your head up and believe in yourself. Others will not believe in you if you do not believe in your self. No matter if you naturally shrink from meeting people, push yourself, at every opportunity, into the com pany of those of a different and wider experience, and drink in every bit of knowledge and of helpfulness possible. I know men in New York whose success is very largely due to their early determination to meet people, and to lose no opportunity of extend ing their acquaintance. 'Office Secrets." (Youth's Companion.) How to make a successful business man out of a lazy office boy has been solved by a Chicago man. His sys tem, which ought to interest every one who has any dealing with boys, is simple. When a new boy goes to his office he takes him to his private room and has a confidential talk with him. He treats the boy with res pect, tells him about the business, and, explains what are sometimes called office secrets to him, with the remark that they are "office . sec rets," and must not be talked of outside. In short, he makes an apple to the boy's honor and self-respect. The boy responds, and in time the employer interests himself in the reading and outside amuse ments of the lad till he has him transformed. One boy, who had served in a reformatory before he entered the man's service, is now a successful lawyer, with an office in the same building with his old em ployer. This employer applies the rule with which every one is famil iar, although may forget it, that it is much easier to lead men than to drive them. The average boy of whatever number of years resembles the average pig, in that when you try to drive him he will use all his energy in trying to go the other way.

President Ira Remsen, of the Johns Hopkins University, in an address to the" students of & preparatory Pchool told the story which the "Baltimore Sun" repeats; bow he .first .took an interest in the study of chem istry. The old system of instruction con sisted of cut and dried answers and question's, and if a strident tried to express his own ideas in his own words he was likely to be told that the words of the bork were good enough. So young- Remsen found himself well advanced in his chemis try text-book before he know" the subject experimentally. One day in class hf suddenly asked himself "What does it all mean?" He did not know. His eye fell on the book and rested on the sentence, "Nitric acid acts on copper." The words meant nothing to him- but he resolved to find out their meaning. A copper cent in his pocket and a bottle on the shelf, labeled "Nitric Acid" gave him his materials. Carefully locking the door and taking precautionary looks through the windows to make sure his sins would not find him out, he poured the fluid upon the copper cent. In the wild excitement that followed, he speedily exchanged ignorance for knowledge. Half choked by the fumes, he said to himself, "It is acting!" The trouble was that he did not know how to stop the acting. When he tried to pick up the cent he dis covered that the combination has some effect on the human skin, and also upon trousers and other things made of cloth. Remsen had left the dreary region of mere words that signify nothing, and entered the world of fact. This interesting and elementary experi ment began the work of one of the greatest chemists of our time. Stone china in Demand. Youth's Companion. Popular attention for several years has been concentrated upon the coming woman." Now it is tine to inquire what is to become of the coming man." How shall he earn his living? Who shall protect his rights? What reward shall stimulate his sluggish ambition? For, behold! the woman who is no longer"coming,"but who has' 'come' ' is usurping his functions. Not only in the cities where she has beenjelbow ing her brothers out of schools and shops and offices, but even in the vil lages she is getting the upper hand. From Ohio comes a report of a town where the hotel, the post-office and the Sunday-school are all shall we say manned by women? The su perintendent of schools is a woman, and she does not. employ a man in the schools. The church choir is com posed of female voices, and the doc tors are all women. But a Maine village goes even farther than that. Its justice of peace, its two chief storekeepers and the town physician are women. The most popular minister is a woman famous for the number of weddings and funerals to which she is called. The editor and proprietor of the lo cal paper wears a bonnet; so do the photographer, the cashier of the bank, the insurance agent and the undertaker. The men of the town have a nomin al choice between going West and taking what is left in the way of oc cupation. But many of them have not been able to save f ron their scant allowances the money to emigrate, and must make the best of the situa tion. There are seven blacksmithes in the town, and twice as many plum bers and carpenters as can find work. The grocery steps are overcrowded with occupants on pleasant days, and there is a sharp competition in win ter for the chairs round the office stove of the one lawyer. The final resource of the . men is likely to be the kitchen sink. The more delicate processes of the house hold will not be surrendered by the enterprising wives. But the three-time-a-day-dish-washing may be con fided to the husbands and brothers; and extra large invoices of stone china have been recently ordered by the feminine dealers in crockery. How to Remain Young. To continue young in health and strength, do as Mrs. N. F Rowan, Mc Donough, (in., did. She says: "Three bottles of Electric Bitters cured me of chronic liver and stomach trouble, comp licated with such an unhealthy con dition of the blood that my skin turned red as flannel. I am now pract ically 20 years younger than before I took Elec tric Bitters. I can now do all my work with ease and assist in my husband's store." Guaranteed at E. T. .White head & Co.'s Drug Store. Trice 50c MaHHfg Foreign flpftrMlifis: (Stanley Enterprise.) The Federal court at Greensboro last week terminated a case that has been watched with exceeding inter est in cottoll ihili eirtflps both Jforth.and $outh. The Case was the outgrovVtH cT tl T'thV Mat Club organized in Charlotte last spring, and the appointment of a committee to secure skilled laborers frorri abroad. Through. Thos. M. Costello, who procured ffcrii Gov ernor Glenn an appointment as State immigration agent, some four or five different parties were brought back from England, aggregating in num ber about eighty. These operatives, who were skilled textile workers, reached Charlotte and vicinity dur ing September last year, bonis CI these became dissatisfied. Many of j the parties were worthless and when they found the demand for labor very pressing felt that they could do very much as they pleased. The government sent from Washington Inspector McLaughlin, and to him the foreigners made all sorts of ex aggerated statement? of promises al leged to have been made to them by Mr. Costello. The offense charged was a violation of the immigration laws. But the verdict of the court last, week sets this point at rest, and in the" discharge of the defendants it is clearly established that our cotton mill manufacturers may go into foreign countries and make con tracts with skilled weavers and spin ners and pay their transportation and bring them here to work in the mills without fear of prosecution. The case revealed the great scarci ty of labor in the mills of this coun try.and brought out a bit of jealousy with which Northern manufacturers, whose mills are almost wholly lid by foreign labor, regarding the eff j ts of Southern mills to secure this class of labor from abroad. In ventilating the labor conditions over the land and the immigration laws affecting the security of foreign labor, the case will undoubtedly be productive of good. It is clear that there will be a broader conception of the troubles that now confront mill men everywhere, and that our Southern mills are vindicated from all charges of a desire to violate any law. Man. (Selected.) A man's life is full of crosses and temptations. He comes into this world without his consent, and goes out against his will, and the trip between the two is exceedingly rocky. The rule of the contraries is one of the impor tant features of the trip. When he is little, the big girls kiss him; but when he i3 grown, the little girls kiss him. ' If he is poor, he is a bad manager; if he is rich, hejs dishonest. If needs credit,- he can't get it; if he is prosperous, every one wants to do him a favor. If he's in politics, it's for pie; if he's out of politics, you carr't place him, and he's no good for his country. If he doesn't give to charity, he is a stingy cuss; if he does, it is for show. If he is actively religious, he is a hypocrite; if he takes no interest in religion, he is a hardened sinner. If he shows affection, he is a soft specimen; if he seems to care for no one, he is cold-blooded. If he dies young, there was a great future before him; if he lives to an old age, he missed his calling. The road is rocky, but man loves to travel it.
