Serious trouble was with difficulty avoided, but the matter was adjusted without serious casualty. The Norfolk Landmark lays proper strictures against such disgraceful conduct and pointedly says: "It is disgraceful to any militiaman in possession of his senses to be engaged in an attempt to break down the supremacy of the very law which he is sworn to protect, and of which his orgrnization is supped to be a bulwark. The officers of foref ihfilt mmtia companies should give no quarter to men under their command who diss'race their uniforms. Martial law should lay its stern hand upon any and al1 ruffians in uniforms, whether or not the civil law is invoked for their punishment. The duty of the soldier is to set an example of orderly comUlct; and tho volunteer ought to measure up to this test as well as the regular NOT TO OVERSEE WORKMEN IS TO LEAVE YOUR PURSE OPEN" So wrote Ben Franklin long before the world was as wide awake as it Truth Weil Observe?. perhaps a hundred and fifty years ago au employers snouid learn and act upon.and no one needs to heed it more 1.1 it n man me iarmer. A squad of hands at work on a farm.however willing they may be to do their full duty to their employer, will never be worth as much left for the most part to themselves as if looked after every hour. This is true of all laborers, whom Franklin called workmen. It is one's duty- to himself, his own interests and the interests of his employes to pav close attention to what they do; and no reasonable employe should con strue such care on the part of an employer as a want of confidence. The truth is, the more faithful an employe is the more willing is he that all his work should be overlooked by him in whose interest and under whose em ployment it is done. Then for the good of employer and employe there should be constant observation of what is done in order to get the best re sults for both. It is easy for almost anyone to conclude that he belongs to the class of persons who are poorly paid, or at least not paid as well as other people, Three Professions Poorly considerin the services he renders to the pjjjjj world. But sometimes one can look at such matters not purely from a personal or interest ed stand point, but from the point of view which shows how others than ! himself are affected. Some days ago we heard two gentlemen of consid j erable observation discussing the remuneration which certain classes and professions receive for their labors of various kinds, and they agreed that the three most poorly paid professions are the teacher, the editor and the preacher. And the further observation was made that the men in these three professions have done more for humanity, and are still doing more, t in uplifting, educating and maintaining a true moral standard than any I other three professions that can be named. And when one comes to think j of it, the conclusion is quite reasonable and we do not seriously question ; it. Taking into consideration the needful preparation that men must make . . J age, it is perhaps true that almost every other profession is better paid. jerhaps fewer men in these professions accumulate good estates than in any other which furnish employment to men of equal ability and applica tion. There is one thing that cannot be successfully questioned, and that is that the teachers, the editors and the preachers of the land are more unselfish in their services than many others. No one who has not engaged in these professions, or made close observation of - them, has 'any idea of the demands made without any thought of remuneration. Seldom does ! one even consult a lawyer without having to pay for the advice secured, and certainly if the lawyer does any service it has .to be paid for. The same thing holds true concerning the physician, and we are not condemn ing it; for it is right that these professions and others also should be paid for services. But the three professions hei-e discussed are not only set at lower figures, but are asked for more gratuitous service than perhaps any other. Mr. Harvie Jordan, president of the Southern Cotton Association, at tended the great cotton convention in Vienna, Austria, and visited a num ber of the leading cotton centres and cotton HarviG Jordan io the Cotton exchangca in Great Britain andon thc Conti. Exchange. nent of Europe. Upon his return he wrote to the president of the New York cotton exchange a letter which is very sig nificant in the facts it sets forth. It gives one information that clinches every conclusion that the New York exchange "turns many things against possible better prices for cotton, and which the farmers of the South would get were it not for the deceptive methods of the exchange. But we give two paragraphs in Mr. Jordan's letter: "While in Liverpool ten days ago, carrying forward my investigations into the storage and handling of American cotton, a matter came under my observation to which I de sire to call your attention without further delay. I was informed by prominent cotton factors and brokers of Liverpool that a shipment of nine thousand bales of American cotton in one lot would soon leave Liverpool for New York to be tendered on July contracts, sold through the New York Cotton Exchange. Further, that the bulk of this shipment of 9,000 bales back to America was cotton which had been tendered on the Liver pool exchange and refused by the arbitration committee on account ofits being too low grade to meet the minimum requirements of the Liverpool contract I was shown the samples of a portion of the grades of this snecH lot of 9,000 bales and was informed that such cotton was regarded asthe'ref use of the Liverpool market. . . . In conclusion, I beg to savthat if you ancLyour official associates will promptly cneck the de liveiv of the refuse cotton scraped up in foreign matkets from being ship--d back here for delivery under contract in your exchange, and promptly PV, v, m,i nf vour exchange, the prospective short crop and the un- enioicu - - ., . , nrredented trade conditions tnrougnout uic u-uuu coupled with the increased supply of gold in all quarters of the globe wm justify even higher prices for the raw material which to that extent will be the better safeguard and will protect our entire American financial, agricultural and industrial interests."

'Excelsior" is Our Motto. SCOTLAND NECK, N. C, THURSDAY, JULY 1 1, 1907. My Various Lcves. I love the silence and the solitude, The landscape with the silent sky to back it. Then, sometime, when I'm in the proper mood, I love a racket. My appetite has an extensive range; Poundcake my Epicurean palate tickles; And then at other times, by way of change, I'm fond of pickles. J love the sunshine -n a cloudy day, And think how pleasant just to see it shining; I'm also partial to the clouds, if they Have a silver lining. I love the classic notes of Sousa's band, Although their meaning to me is a riddle; But if that company is not at hand, Bring on your fiddle. In literary paths I love to roam Shakespeare and all his peers I value highly; Then coming down the ages nearer home, I'm fond of Riley. j i When on the farm I long the town to view, And when in town I think the coun try's charming; Business is pleasant when I've none to do, And so is farming. James Larkin Pearson in Charlotte Chronicle. Virginia Women. (Richmond Times-Dispatch.) Remembering the mad rush of New York women to secure cards admitting them to a famous murder trial a few months ago, Northern newspapers have already directed attention to the fact which seems remarkable to them that not a single woman entered thc court room at Houston, where a case of similar importance in this State was being heard. The newspapers need not express surprise because of this. Indeed, there would be surprise and mortification" if the women of Vir ginia showed the least desire to be present when a terrible story was being unfolded on the witness stand. Their very nature rebels against the thought. They have sympathy and compassion for those afflicted; they feel most keenly for one of their sex who has been placed in a position more trying than death itself, and they prefer to show it by remaining away. If the Loving trial had been sent to Richmond instead of Houston, the conditions would have been the same, and it is wrong, therefore, for the newspapers to account for the ab sence of women by the explanation that Houston is in the "backwoods." There were no women at the Stro ther trial at Culpepper. Some of them did hear the evidence in the McCue case, but that was not like the proceedings at Culpepper and Houston. The women of Virginia, thank God, are not depraved. Their mod esty and sense of decency make them shudder at the thought of piling into a foul court-room. Their attitude, moreover, in this matter is so natur al and so thoroughly typical of all that is true of the Old Dominion that we might eliminate all refer ences to it, except to remind the newspapers of the North that there is no justification for the delightful feeling of surprise. When News Is Scarce. A good man from the country came in the office and the stereotyp ed question, "What's the news?"was put to him. "There is no news," he declared, promptly. "Everybody is at work harvesting wheat and doing lots of other things." And you can put it down in your little note book that when everybody is at work, whether in the country or in town, harvesting wheat or making wooden nutmegs, there is a mighty news, especially news of a sensation al character and none at all of crimes, divorces, suicides, murders and so forth. Newspaper men in small towns notice the difference when a season comes that brings work for every body. It is hard to get an item worth while. An idle brain is not only the devil's workshop but his place of residence. Lexington Dispatch. rinenles are for the Kidneys and Dladder.

When Commander Peary described his Arctic experiences at a dinner at the St. Regis in New York City he said that cold raw dog had some disadvantages as compared with the menu he was enjoying on that occassion. He expressed no opinion on the merits of hot cooked dog, but according to a report from Consul lift, at Annaberg, Saxony, j there are abundant opportunities to test that delicacy in Germany. In the Kingdom of Saxony, containing about one-thirteenth of the popula tion of the German Empire, 3,730 dogs were slaughtered for food in 1000. This makes the estimate of 7,000 for the whole empire seem very moderate. The city of Chemnitz alone ate, or at least prepared for eating, 6iJ8 dogs in the course of the year. This takes the old jokes about the barking sausage out of the do main of humor and turns them into grim reality. Consul Ifft thinks that the official statistics do not fur nish a fall measure of the ravages of the butcher knife among the canine population. Often a cherished household pet disappears, and a new pang is added to the sorrow of be reavement by the reflection that the missing one may reappear in the form of next day's chops. At Cassel, recently, the police in search ing for a lost dog came across a pri vate dog slaughter-house whose raw material came apparently through the theft of pets. The German newspapers often carry advertise ments of dog meat or of dogs for slaughter. Of course the slaughter of hrses for food is one of the great indus tries of. Germany. Last year this trade cost the lives of 182,000 ani mals, an increase of 20,000 over 190o and of 47,000 over 1904. "Horse flesh," remarks Mr. Ifft, "is very generally advertised in the German newspapers, especially in those of the large German centres, and most German cities have at least one market which makes it a specialty, claiming for it a higher percentage of nourishment than that of either beef, veal, mutton, or pork." The consul ventures to say that the German consumption of the flesh of horses and dogs has been greatly increased by high-priced meat, but naturally he diplomatically refrains from" telling what makes meat so high. It is simply the protective tariff, which protects German stock raisers against the pauper food of America. The paternal German Government will not allow its people to eat cheap foreign beef and mut ton; so they eat horses and dogs. Charges That Old Woman is a Witch. Vincennes, Ind., July 3. Believing that the death of his two-year-old son was caused by witchcraft, and that other members of his f amity are in danger, John Paris has instituted proceedings to place "MagGilmore, aged 70, under a surety peace bond. Some weeks ago a chicken belonging to the woman is alleged to have been injured by one of Paris' children."If that chicken dies, one of your chil dren dies," is said to have been the remark of the aged woman. The chicken died, and yesterday the son of Paris died of whooping cough. Selected. Pineules for the kidneys strengthen these organs and assist in drawing poi son from the blood.

"Next to the day when a self-supporting girl receives her first salary envelope, or is notified of her first promotion or raise in salary, I be lieve that the first vacation marks the most important era of her wage earning history," writes Anna Stecse Richardson in Woman's Home Com panion for July. "The two weeks on salary given by most, progressive firms and appreciative individual employers should be regarded as the stamp of the employer's approv al, the reward of honest etforts. When it is accepted as a right it is robbed of its individual significance and much of its real pleasure. ; "Vacation should bring rest, or rather recreation, to muscles and nerves. This does not necessarily ; mean absolute quiet, a kimono, a novel and a box of chocolates. It means change of scene, movement and thought. "The school teacher or worker in a small town should reach out for a broader viewpoint. It will be good for her to visit some bustling city with galleries, museums, yes, and roof gardens and gay restaurants, as well as points of historical interest. All through her school term she has lived in an atmosphere of petty gos I sip and has been giving forth, never drawing inspiration from others. Now let her Hit away to a city where there is no gossip nor 'neighboring,' where her comings and her goings are not watched and criticized, and where persons and things will yield inspiration and new thoughts for another year's work. She will not find city life in summer extravagant. Hotel and boarding-house rates are generally lower, furnished apart ments can be rented by a couple of summer tourists in town Tor a com parative song, and a few simple shirt-waist suits, with appropriate hat, shoes and gloves, will furnish all the wardrobe needed." Was Siaarter Than the Bishop. A bishop once asked a class of boys some questions in mental arithmetic. Said he: "Now, my little man, you, there. If I were to shoot at a tree with five birds in it, and kill three, how many would be left?" "Three, sir." "No, no, my boy; thcrewould only be two left." "Please, sir, you said you shot three; only they would be left, the other two would be flied away." "Yes," replied the bishop; "ytu are quite right; you may sit down." And he passed on to another class room. Selected Summer coughs and colds yield nt i once to Bees Laxative tough Syrup. Contains honey and tar hut no opiates. Children like it. Pleasant to take.
