The Confederate Veterans held thsir annual re-union at. Memphis, Tenn. last week. General Clement A. Evans was re-elected Commander- in-Chief, and Mobile, Ala. chosen as the next place of reunion. The election at Warsaw some days ag-o to decide the question of an ad ditional school tax of fifteen cents on the $100.00 valuation of property and forty-five cent3 on the poll, resulted in a sweeping1 victory for the schools, the vote standing 87 for, to 26 against in additionel tax. As announced by L. II. Clement, Esq., of Salisbury, president of the North Carolina Bar Association, the annual convention of the Association will be held in Asheville, June 30 and July 1 and 2. Hon. James W. Os- Dorne, of New xork, brother of Judpre F. O. Osborne, of Charlotte, will deliver the pi-ineipal address. The North Carolina Medical So- t-iety is holding its 56th annual meet ing at Battery Park Hotel in Ashe ville this week. The opening meet ing was held Tuesday morning. Dur ing the meeting about fifty papers will be read and discussed by many of the leading physicians in the State. According to a report sent out by the Department of Agriculture at Washington, the general average condition of crop growth in the Un ited States on June 1, was announc ed as approximately four per cent, below the conditions on June 1 of ast year, but about eight per- cent. better than two years ago. A big real estate deal was consum mated in Greensboro last week when Mr. Charles D. Benbow sold the Ben- bow hotel and the adjoining property on the west side of South Elm street, with a total frontage of over two hundred and fifty feet, to Mr. Jas. F. Jordan. The deal it is understood represents about .$150,000. The most valuable part of the property sold or as much as $750,00 a front foot. Senate and House leaders who are lirecting the course of the tariff bill have decided that there is no foundation for the report that Pres- lent Taft will veto the bill unless its revision is downward. Mr. Taft has cold one of the tariff leaders that no one was authority to predict what would be his action in regard to the ariff measure. This statement, on Mr. Taft's part, was called forth by an utterance of Secretary of the reasury MacVeagh, made in his peech at Chicago. A club, to be known as the Hun dred Thousand Club, has been or- anized in Winston-Salem, its pur pose being to raise the population to that number. A club very much similar to the one in Winston-Salem Ins been organized in Wilmington. There seems to bo a general awaken ing among the towns and cities throughout the State, as is evinced by the slogans they are adopting and the advertising methods they are em ploying in order that people may lcnow something of the advantages they have to offer. This general awakening and progressive spirit throughout North Carolina means much for the State's sure and rapid development along all lines of pro gress. In a letter to Major W. A. Gra ham, United States Commisioner of Agriculture B. H. Rawles, express ing his appreciation of the work of the North Carolina board in support of the dairy field work, said: "From a study of the possibilities of dairying in the Southern States that I have had opportunity to make during the past four years I am ab solutely sure that dairying is a suc cess, especially in our Piedmont belt. "The trouble in the past has been that our people have not had an op portunity to become familiar with handling a dairy in the most econom ical way, hence in the main our dai ries have been failures. In estab lishing this industry we are accom plishing a great deal for general ag riculture, and I believe that the in clination of your board to supprt the work in connection with the es tablishment of dairying in North Carolina will be so far-reaching in its results to build up North Caroli na agriculture as anything your de partment is undertaking, to the same extent. . "The results of - the dairy field vork in North Carolina have been so good that we call the attention of oilier States to them, and now desire not only to call the attention of other States to the result of the work, but to the kind of support your depart ment has given this work. Your de partment, therefore, in undertaking this pioneer work is setting an ex ample which we hope to induce every State to follow." Republican Extravagance. Will the Republican party be able to hold its majority in the Sixty- second Congress ? More than a few experts on nation al politics are answering this ques tion in the negative. Some that held different views a few months ago now concede there is good ground for the growing belief among the Democrats that they will domi nate the Congress to follow the one which came into existence March 15th. The House of Representatives now contains 219 Republicans and 172 Democrats, which gives the Re publicans a majority of 47. This, however, is a Democratic gain of ten. Because of the unduplicated waste fulness and extravagance of the Sixtieth Congress, coupled with its utter disregard of party promises and its abject indifference even to the consideration of legislation that was recommended either by Presi dent Roosevelt or the people, many believe the Republican majority in the House of Representatives will soon be a thing of the past. This belief is strengthened by the probability that the Sixty-first Con gress will make no better record than its immediate predecessor, j The same leaders Speaker Cannon, Dalzell, Aldrich and Hale remain in charge of the national law-making machine. The first session of the Sixtieth Congress spent $1,008,804,895.57, and the second session over-spent that figure by about $30,000,000, in spite of a deficit for the present fis cal year of more than $120,000,000. The men in charge of the national finances say the deficit for the com ing fiscal year is certain to be in ex cess of $150,000,000. The money-spending campaign for the Sixty-first Congress has been worked out already in more or less detail. Here are a few items that will give a general idea of how it will be a physical possibility for the incoming Congress to spend $100,- 000,000 more than the last one: There was no "general" rivers and harbors bill in the Sixtieth Congress, although there was a special bill carrying less than $10,000,000. Next Congress' rivers and harbors bill will carry not less than $30,000,000 or $40,000,000. The navy bill at the last session carried about $137,000,000. Senator Hale says next year it will run up to about $160,000,000. After that, it will go still higher. Senator Bacon predicts it will go to $200,000,000 at the lowest estimate. It might easily carry from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 more. Then money must be appropriated j for the taking of the census. The anama canal will have to be given a further huge financial lift. The army will need an increase in pro portion of that of the navy. It was pointed out by Rep. Henry D. Rainey, of Illinois, that the $120,- 000,000 anual deficits of the Roose velt administration are in marked contrast to the huge annual surplus es of the Grover Cleveland adminis tration. "The reckless extravagance of the Republican administration that has passed out, and the plans for increas ed extravagance by the administra tion coming in," said Rainey, "cer tainly spells disaster for the Repub- ican party. All the Democrats have to do is to sit steady in the boat. The leaders in charge of the major- ty side of the house are simply drunk with power. They need only a little more rope, and the job will be complete." Aside from appropriating money for the running of the government, Rainey pointed out that the Sixtieth Congress was a "do nothing" session throughout. Big subjects were avoid ed altogether or' considered only in one branch of Congress. A case in point is afforded by the bill to admit Arizona and New Mexico into the Union as States, which passed the louse by a unanimous vote, but was effectually strangled in the Senate. Countless hours were devoted in the Senate to postal banks,but no action was taken, while in the House not even a committee meeting was held to consider a bill on that subject. Congress was too busy to take a half hour off for a vote on the children's bureau, although several hours were devoted to the listening of oratory on the subject. The House passed a bill providing for uniform safety appliances on cars, but it was anti-railroad in char acter and died in the Senate. The Senate passed a bill requiring ocean passenger steamships to be equipped with wireless telegraph apparatus, which was anti-steamship in charac ter and it died in the House. There were 38,000 bills introduced, out of which about one and a quarter per cent became laws. This small per centage includes a large number of bills that were not public in charac ter, such as pension bills and other measures that were for the benefit of individuals, particularly indivi duals, able to render political assis tance to Congressmen. Representa tive Rayner, in National Monthly. March of the Deathless Array. The tread of the Confederate army is again reverberating through the south, but in place of the war lust there shines from the eyes of the scions of Dixie the light of peace and love. Dimmed with age, perhaps, are those old eyes, yet today m Mem phis they gaze on the Stars and Stripes and the Stars and Bars with feelings which, while not identical, are equally meritorious. The people of the city of Memphis doubtless feel that they have the old Confederate warriors as their guests for the last time. The harvest of Dixie grows painfully smaller each year, and ten years from now there will be nothing left but a "thin gray line." The old fellows are already sitting along the borders waiting for the call of the boatman from the misty shores. Their crown is the glory of silvery hair. Their eyes are looking now toward the setting sun beneath whose ruddy glow lies the distant camp ground. Soon they'll stack their arms and join in the bivouac of the dead; their ears are strained now for th? final "taps." There is limitless majesty about those old veterans, resplendent with the scars of war. Yet the dust of battle is on their feet, and their eyes show signs of weariness. But they are not afraid, for they have seen the vision. Above a million mounds, like those which await them, they have seen the aurora of immortal fame, and the crown of a nation's death less love. Yes, the boys in gray are making ready for the last review. As in the past.they ask for no furlough, nor do they show sign of retreat. Along the far-flung battle front you hear not the cries of suppliants, but the shouts of victors. There are no picket guards to sound the coming of the foe; no clarion calls to arms; no scenes of carnage and death. Thank God, it is a commission to eternal rest. Asheville Citizen. The Element cf Interest. It has been said that there is only one interesting thing in the world, and that is life; and that all other things are interesting only as they bear relation to life. This undoubtedly explains why certain advertisers make frequent use of pictures which, in addition to the advertised article, contain some suggestion to human life. It is the radiator and the child, the soap and the child, the flour and the woman, the phonograph and the family. Even a human hand holding a tube of tooth-paste is considered more inter esting than a facsimile of the pack age alone. An advertiser of men's clothing often introduces the picture of women, knowing that the thought of their presence instinctively raises the standards of dress. Some au ver tisers who wish to appeal strongly to women do not neglect any reasona ble opportunity to introduce a pic ture of a baby, knowing that it will instinctively interest the average or normal woman, whether she is a mother or not. Whenever a picture includes men and women together whether it advertises hunting out fits, book-cases, shaving soaps, pianos or automobiles it is sure to have an added interest for most people be cause it contains the one interesting element of human life. It is the same element that gives vitality and interest to literature, sculpture, painting and music that which il luminates and in some way helps to interpret life. It is the element that unifies all the arts and industries, and binds society together making "of one blood all the nations of the earth." It is the wise advertiser who works with the predominating tendency of human life, and cleverly associates his product with the one thing in which all people everywhere are al ready interested.

T. Whitehead Company's. ADVERTISING IS LIFE. Towns Keed It as Well as Merchants. Newspapers Best Means. Towns no less than business firms need to advertise. A town may not fail quite so quickly as a private en terprise from lack of advertising, but the death is just as certain in the long run. A town needs to have outsiders know its advantages, its actual conditions as to industries, opportunities for business, cost of living, etc. Many an excellent town suffers from the fact that its ad vantages are not widely known, just as many a worthy commodity suf fers because it has not been adver tised. The newspapers are undoubtedly one of the greatest means of adver tising their town. "By their news papers men shall know them," is the semi-biblical phrase that applies to towns. The western real estate town can teach the average eastern city many things on the subject of advertise ment. Theirs is a case of advertise or die completely, and they prefer to advertise. The result is that peo ple are interested and money is in vested in the towns. It is the same old fact that never changes - namely, that advertising is necessary and that the more a thing is advertised up to a certain very high limit the gcater the net returns will be. Towns are no ex ception to the general rule. Ridg way (Pa.) Advocate. Business Maxims g! William Penn. Method goes far to prevent trouble in business; for it makes the task easy, binders confusion, saves abun dance of time, and instructs those that have business depending what to do and what to hope. It is a profitable wisdom to know when we have done enough: much time and pains are spared in not flat tering ourselves against probabili ties. He that judges not well of the im portance of his affairs.though he may be always busy, must make but small progress. Wit is fitter for diversion than bus iness, being more grateful to fancy than judgment. Yet it must be confessed that wit gives an edge to sense, and recom mends more than his own. Les3 knowledge than judgment, will always have the advantage upon the injudicious knowing man. A wise man makes what he learns his own; the other shows he is but a copy, or a collection at most. But make not more business neces sary than is so; and rather lessen than augment vork for thyself. Never give out while there is hope, but hope not beyond reason; for that shews more desire than judgment. They that shew more than they are, raise an expectation they cannot answer; and so lose their credit, as soon as they are found out. It is not enough that a thing be right, if it be not fit to be done. If not prudent, though just, it is not advisable. lie that loses by getting, had better lose than get. He that overruns his business leaves it for him that follows more leisure ly to take it up; which has often proved a profitable harvest to the man that never so-wed. lie that neglects his work robs his master, since he is fed and paid as if he did his best; nnd he that is not as diligent in the absence as in the pres ence of his master carrot be a true servant. It is a great wisdom to proportion our esteem to the nature of the thing; for as that way things will not be under-valued, so neither will they en gage us above their intrinsic worth. It is as great an instance of wisdom as a man in business can give, to be patient under the impertinences and contradictions that attend it.

At the "Good Roads Congress" at Baltimore the other day, Senator Bankhead of Alabama said: "The question of transportation has attracted the attention of our wisest statesmen for years. There are three important methods rail roads, boats and roads and in my judgment roads are most important, as 90 per cent, of all freight must first be hauled over the roads. "In the early days of the Govern ment it was decided that Congress had the right to appropriate money for building roads and canals, yet some say that it is unconstitutional. Why does the Government appro priate annually large sums for har bors, canals and rivers? Because of the clause in the Constitution which gives it this right for the general welfare of the country. It is done to increase the advantages of trans portation. "The Government has been liberal in lending funds to aid in building railroads throughout the country to aid in its development and to increase its wealth, and consequently to in crease its revenue. Everyone knows that this has been a good investment for the Government. Congress is spending millions every year for irri gation. The levees on the Mississi ppi river are not built for commerce, but to protect a vast amount of property and wealth. It is absurd to talk about the counties and differ ent communities building roads. The burden is too heavy. "We are today using 1,000,000 miles of roads in the delivery of our mails. When the rural free deli very service was first discussed it was charged that its adoption would bankrupt the country. Eleven years ago Congress apropriated $40,000 to be used as an experiment on the sys tem. Only ten thousand of this was spent by the Postollice Department before its success was assured and last year Congress approriated $38, 000,000 for the service. The deficit in the Postollice Department is no greater now than it was before the service was adopted. This is due to the increased revenue. City people are more benefitted by good roads than the country people. The city depends on the counties for its sup plies and the quicker and cheaper they can be brought to the city the better for city people. SAYS ROADS BRING EDUCATION. "With a system of good roads we have a better system of education. Good roads permit children to as semble, and then good buildings will be erected and good teachers secur ed. Because of the poor highways in many sections of the country it is impossible for the children to reach the schools during certain periods of the year. "Good roads are the only immi gration drawing cards. We cannot attract desirable foreigners unless we have good roads, as all desirable immigrants are invariably accustom ed to such in their native countries. At present 70 per cent, of the expen ditures of our Government is used in preparation for war. Last year $10, 000,000 was appropriated to foster the agricultural interests. This, in comparison, was insignificant. "If you want to start this question and get results stand your ground. Make your States take a stand, and then your representatives in Con gress will get in line. Governor Crothers is leading the way in Mary land, and the public will follow him. Your representatives at Washington will take up the question, for they might fear that the Governor is af ter their job, and thev will get in line. The present alleged constitu tional barriers and limitations will not be so high to Congressmen when they realize that a large element in their Congressional constituency de mand good roads from the Govern ment." A Tall Bear Story. "Why, once, do you know, I found a bear inside a hollow log. Well, of course, I couldn't get at him to shoot him, and the log was too heavy to move. I didn't know vhat to do. So at last I thought of cutting four holes in the log, about where the bear's feet must be, and I got his paws through, slick. Then I tied a rope about the log and made him walk with it into the camp. And would you believe it? we had all our food and all our fuel for the winter out of that one deal." Out ing Magazine. "I suffered habitually from consti pation. Bonn's Regulct's relieved and strengthened the bowels, so that they have been regular ever since." . E. Davis, grocer, Sulphur springs, Ttxao. The Fable of a Fellow and His Luck. There was once upon a time a man who said to himself, "Now I hear this fellow talking about his bad luck and another about his good luck. As for me, I haven't any luck at all. What shall I do about it?" And after thinking a while, he started out in search of his luck. "For," said he, "it will never do in the world to go through life with out luck." And after so long a time, as he searched, he came across his luck, and it was very bad luck indeed cross and peevish anil full of pro fanity. He stood looking at it, and the bad luck looked at him, leering and jeering all the while. Then the man said to his luck, "You are not at all the kind of stuff I thought you would be, else I should never have searched for you at all." And the bad luck leered in his face. And the man said, "I am not going to put up with any such thing as you. You belong to me, do you un derstand? I am the master and you the slave." And he looked at his bad luck straight in the face, and it cowered, and he looked again, and it turned away, and he looked again and it slunk off whimpering. Then the man turned on his heel and strode off whistling, and behind him, as close as it dared, a very well disciplined good luck trotted at his heels. Cally Ryland. Democralii: Apples. Hon. James E. Martinc, of I'lain field, N. J., who the Democrats of New Jersey know and love, is known far and wide along the Atlantic Coast both as "The Farmer Orator," and as "The Sage of Cedarbrook." Mr. Martine's home-place at Plain field, N. J., is one of the show places of that thriving little city. Among other things he has a fine apple or chard on the place that the Plain field small boy knows only too well. Last fall Mr. Marline was on his way home, and he happened to meet a couple of youngsters whose pock ets were well filled with nice, big rosy-cheeked apples. "Pretty nice looking apples you boys have got there. Would you give a man one of them?" he asked one of the lads. "Sure," said the youngster, "help yourself. We get 'em over in Jim Martine's orchard. Jim don't care how many we take." "Don't he?" asked Mr. Martine. "Naw," said the kiddo, "Jim's a Democrat, he's for free trade and free apples." National Monthly. No Friend Like the Dog. Where will you find a man always grateful, always affectionate, never selfish, pushing the abnegation of self to the utmost limits of possibili ty! forgetful of injuries and mindful only of benefits received? Seek him not; it would be a useless task. But take the first dog you meet, and from the moment he adopts you for his master; you will find in him all these qualities. He will love you without calculation. His greatest happiness will be to be near you; and should you be reduced to beg your bread, not only will he aid you, but he will not abandon you to follow a king to his palace. Your friends may quit you in misfortune, but your dog will remain; he will die at your feet, or if you depart before him on the great voyage will ac company you to your last abode.
