We may get through this world, but 'twill be very slow, If we listen to all what is said as we go We'll be worried and fretted and kept in a stew. For meddlesome tongues must have something to do; For people will talk, you know. If quiet and modest you'll have it presumed, That your humble position is only assumed.

If generous and noble, they'll vent out their spleen, You'll hear some loud hints that you're selfish and mean; If upright or honest and fair as the day, They'll call you a rogue in a sly sneaking way For people will talk, you know. A.nd then if you show the least bold ness of heart. Or slight inclination to take your own part, They will call you an upstart, con ceited and vain; But keep straight ahead, don't stop to explain For people wiil talk, you know. f threadbare your coat or old-fash ioned your hat, ' You're ahead of your means, or your i tailor is unpaid, But mind your own business, there's j naught to be said; 1 For people will talk, you know. i i It a lellow Dut enanee to uonvorso with a girl, I How the gossips will talk and their, scandal unfurl, fhey 11 canvas your wants or talk of ! your means, And declare you are engaged to a chit in her teens, i For people will talk, you know.

Aids The great success of Dr. Pierce'3 Gcldert Medical Dis covery in curing weak stomachs, wasted bodies, weak lungs, nd obstinate and lingering coughs, is based oa the recognition of the fundamental truth that "Goldea Medical Discovery" supplies Nature with body-building, tissue-repairing, muscle-making materials, in con densed and concentrated form. With this help Nature supplies ths necessary strength to the stomach to digest food, build up the body and thereby throw off lingering obstinate coughs. The "Discovery" rs-establishes the digestive and nutritive organs in sound health, purifies n4 rnrirha the hlood. and nourishes the nerves m sbort establishes sound vigorous health.

The Carolinas and in fact most of the States alon Blue Ridge mountains have, of recent years taken wonderful strides in fruit growing. Fruit growing in these regions, how ever, is only slightly developed in comparison with the possi bilities which exist in this di rection. The methods of orch ard management are common ly faulty and not productive of the best results which the nat ural advantages make possible. Notwithstanding these condi tions, large quantities of excel lent fruit, but principally ap ples, are grown in some portions of these regions. Realizing the problem that many orchardists will find con fronting them, the department of Agriculture has published a bulletin entitled "Orchard Fruits in the Piedmont and Blue Ridge Regions of the South Atlantic States," and while the information supplied therein will doubtless prove of value to prospective planters of orchards who already reside in these regions, it is expected K.i4. .44. ,,J?..l :n There appears to be no doub t but that the succes8 of fruit vin in the Blue RM , . , , , , , ,. , L , 1 , to the fact that the orchards .i ,.v,oitUVn,i side of thpi nnmprniis VnnL whi,w.tli, . .m . , , . . y. tect the trees from winter kill ing or hold back the buds un til all danger of spring frosts has passed.

It has built at one part of the farm a stable for 33 mules, also a large DuilOing tor a hospital, kitchin and dining room and commissary, these costing $3,000 each, and on another part of the farm has built a stable of the same size and a building for women, these costing $3,000 each.

A special from Raleigh. ur. v . i., -. The Young Man That Wins. The following editorial from a recent issue of The News and Observer should point a moral to the young man who thinks success will come to him through the poolroom, the gam bler's den, watching the clock or hunting an easy job; and who scoffs at the young man who reverences those things which his mother taught him to reverence God and religion. "When the will of the late Mrs. F. P. Tucker was read, and it was learned that Mr. Cary K. Durfey was named with Judge Womack as executor and trus te?, not a few people asked: "Who is Durfey?" Most busi ness men in Raleigh knew him, but there were people in Raleigh who had never heard of the quiet young man who for sev eral years had been employed by Mrs. Tucker to transact her business. He had lived in Ral eiarh only ten years and Mrs. Tucker never heard of him un til a few years ago. She found him clean of life, honest, will ing, capable. He won her full confidence in his capacity and in his integrity and she gave him a trust that the richest man in Raleigh would have felt it an honor to receive. The estate is worth nearly a million doll ars and it is to be held in trust. That this unknown young man should have been entrusted with equal power with Judge Womack in so important a mat ter contains a moral. Mr. Durfey owes his success to his industry, integrity and good sense. While other young men, enjoying what the world calls superior advantages, were spending the time in loafing, playing pool, and pleasure, young Mr. Durfey won a place and a confidence mat gives mm a position among Raleigh's most trusted leaders. The road to success lies along the path trod by this young man. It is proper to state that when he came to Raleigh, he became a regular attendant upon Sunday school and church, and was as unostentatious in his religious life as in his business. That is the type of 3roung men the world needs and when such young men have capacity, there is always promotion for them." New York's Tremecdous Debt. The annual report of the Comptroller of New York city shows that the municipal debt on October 31 last -was over a billion dollars. The exact a raount. according to the Comp troller's figures was $1,010,712, 478. New York has never been content with anything short of "the biggest," and this ambi tion is fully gratified by the proportions of its funded debt. It is probably bigger than the debt of any other city in the world. It exceeds by a hundred million dollars the interestbear ing debt of the United States. It is larger than the great sum that Germany extorted from France and which was expect ed to cripple the Empire for years. It is bigger than the imperial debt of Germany. The annual interest on it at 4 per cent is 810,000,000 a sum probably greater than the cost of governing in any city in A merica, and nearly double the net amount of the funded debt of Baltimore. The size of this debt is preposterous, and it is increased year by year. There is a clause in the Constitution of the State of New Y'ork which limits the debt of any city to 10 per cent ot the assessment of real estate. This limit was pass ed by New York city long ago, and the constant effort has been to "jack" up the assessments in order to justify the debt and the increase which takes place year by year. Pav day must come some time," and New York city is put ting upon posterity a burden which will be intolerable. Baltimore Sun. DID POWELL MARRY HIS OWN DAUGHTER? A Case of Extraordinary Complications in Supreme Court. One of the most remarkable cases ever tried in the courts of North Carolina was argued , on appeal, in the Supreme Court yesterday. The appeal is decketed as the State against Powell, and comes up from Halifax county, and was argued by Attorney Gen eral Bickett for the State and Senator E. L. Travis, of Hali fax, for the defendant. There was but one exception in the taking of the appeal, and that was whether certain evi dence that was admitted by the court below was competent. The grand jury found the stat uary indictment applicable to the case, against Powell, upon the charge of having married his own daughter. The defendant denied the charge, and based his defense on the allegation that his pres ent wife is not his child. The mother (now deceased) of the woman he married had been married before she became Mrs. Powell, and the defendant claims that his present wife is the offspring of this former marriage and not his own child, as is alleged. The main question which call ed for settlement in the Supe rior Court was, "Who was the paternal parent of ths existing Mrs. Powell?" Powell had been married pre viously, as well as his second wife, the mother (.admittedly) of his present (third) wife. Powell's chief efforts were to prove that his present wife was the child of his second wife by a previous husband. This he did not succeed in do- ing to tho eatiofu,otion o tho jury, which convicted him The judge sentenced Powel to 18 months imprisonment. Pending the appeal (on the one exception noted above) Powell is at home under bond. The case is a most extraordi nary one, to say the least. The "child" is not wise enough to settle the question, because she evidently does not know her own father. Raleigh News and Observer. The famous little liver pills are De Witt's Little Early Risers.

It matters little that Cromwell's statue was for years refused an official place in Eng lish public buildings. It matters little that Cato died while in arms against constituted auth ority.
