Correct Thing to Do. Thursday afternoon a drunken im becile, who claims to be a man, walked into a residence on South Front street and calmly seated him self in the parlor. There was no one in the house at the time but two ladies, and after repeated efforts they failed to induce him to leave, and it was necessary to call in aid and have him thrown out.

Scotf s Emulsion is Nature's best and quick est help. AnPfwfaf IB? Sunday Sickness. The disease Sunday sickness is a disease peculiar to church members. The attack comes on suddenly every Sunday, no symptoms are felt on Saturday night: the patient sleeps well, eats a hearty breakfast, but about church time the attack comes on, and continues till services are over for the morning. Then the patient feels easy, and eats a hearty dinner. In the after noon, he feels much better and able to take a walk, talk about politics and read Sunday papers: he eats a hearty supper, but about church time he gets another attack and stays at home. He retires early, sleeps well, and wake3 up Monday morning refreshed and able to go to work and does not have any symp toms of the disease until the follow ing Sunday. The peculiar features are as follows: 1. It always attacks members of the church. 2. It never makes its appearence except on the Sabbath: 3. The symptoms vary, but never interfere with sleep or appetite. 4. It never last more than twenty four hours. 5. It generally attacks the head of the family. 6. No physician is ever called. 7. It always proves fatal in the end to souls. 8. No remedy is known for it ex cept prayers. 9. Religion is the only antidote. 10. It is becoming fearful preva lent, and is sweeping thousands every pear to destruction. 11. The remedy: On Sunday mor ning arise at seven, use plenty of cold water on the face, eat a plain breakfast, then mix up and take in ternally a dose composed of equal parts of the following ingredient?: Will, push, energy, determination, self-respect, for God's day, respect for God's house, respect for God's Book, stir well, add a degree of love just to make it sweet. Take a dose every few minutes before church time unlcsb relief Jcomes sooner. If tne clay is stormy an external appli-1 cation of overshoes, heavy coat and umberellas will be beneficial. Selec ted. Sounding Brass. The platform adopted by the Re publicans at Greensboro contains just about as much poppycock as the general run of platforms. There is some willful viciousness in it, also, as for instance: "We denounce the extravagance of the Democratic par ty in the management of the finan ces of the State, whereby they have increased the bonded indebtedness of the State and caused a constant depreciation in market value of our State bonds." Everybody knows that the Democratic State adminis tration has not been extravagant, but that on the other hand, it has brought the State from a condition of wreck the Republicans and Popu lists left it in, to one of prosperity and fine financial standing. It is strange that these platform writers find it impossible to confirm them selves to candor, honestly and the truth. An otherwise entirely unob jectionable platform, because a harmless one, is marred by the blem ish of an untruth that is known of people. Charlotte Chronicle. After Many Days. An English minister told the fol lowing: "I was asked to go to a public house in Nottingham to see the landlord's wife, who was dying. I found her rejoicing in Christ as her Saviour. I asked her how she fourd the Lord. 'Reading that,' she re plied, handing me a torn piece of paper. I looked at it and found it was a part of an American newspa per, containing an extract from one of Spurgeon's sermons, which extract had been the means of her conver sion. ' Where did you find this news paper?' I asked. 'It was wrapped around a parcel sent to me from Australia.' A sermon preached in London, cabled or sent to America, and there printed in a newspaper. which was sent to Australia, part of it being torn off there for the par cel sent to England, which reached the heart of a woman, that probably could not easily have been reached in any other way, not very many miles from where the words were originally spoken. What a comment on Isaiah 55:11." Current Anec dotes. In New York. "I'm at a loss where to take my country cousin to night." "He's strict, I s'pose?" "Very. And I don't know whether he'd prefer preaching in a theatre or vaudeville in a church." Washing ton Herald. FOR IMPROVED STOCK. The Roanoke and Tar River Live-stock Association Holds Meeting. Reported. The Roanoke and Tar River Live stock Association held n regular quarterly meeting Thursday at the home of its president, Mr. B. F. She! ton, of Edgecombe county. There was a good attendance of reg ular members and twenty-four new members were enrolled. President Shelton has a splendid farm of 800 acres and all its appointments are as nearly perfect as one can find on a farm in Eastern Carolina. About a hundred persons were present, in cluding a number of visitors from Tarboro and Scotland Nor::. After calling the meetirvr to order at 11 o'clock, President Srn'lton a?k ed Mr. E. E. Hilliard, of Scotland Neck, to preside as he, Mr. Shelton, had many mat ters to claim his atten tion in entertaining the l?.re num ber of guests. Mr. Shelton welcom ed the Association to "Mapleton," the beautiful name of his more beau tiful home and farm, and Mr. F. P. Shields, of Scotland Neck, explained the object of the Association. Dr. VV. G. Chrisman, State Veterinarian from the Agricultural D. partment at Raleigh, gave a delightful lecture on live stock generally, and particu larly the draft horse for farm work. Dr. E. L. Staton, of Torb -ro, being called upon, made stirring remarks upon the interest of the Association and the good to be derived from it in this community. Adjournment was taken for about two hours and the Association took a little excur sion to Mr. Shelton's pasture to view his cattle. He has a herd of about eighty in a pasture of I GO acres. Most of them are the Heref ord breed, and they are beauties indeed. Mr. Shelton began stock raiding about five years ago with five cows and now has the finest herd of cattle in all this community. As the efficient preside1, of the Association, Mr. Shelton had pre pared a most bountiful dinner of Brunswick stew and barbecue. When dinner was ready on the long table under the new cow barn juot being erected, Mr. Shelton gave the invitation all greatly enjoyed the splendid dinner. As a veritable ac companiment to the dinner there were choice water-melons in abund dance and plenty of lemonade. At the afternoon session Dr. Sta ton offered the following resolution, which was enthusiastically adopted: Resolved, That the thanks of thjs Association and of all the visitors present be tendered the officials. President R. F. Shelton, of Edge combe, and Secretary B. B. Everett, of Martin, for the splendid and hos pitable entertainment provided for this meeting. Dr. L. F. Roonce, veterinarian from the State Department, at Raleigh, delivered an interesting and instructive lecture on "Hogs and Hog Raising." followed by Dr. Chrisman, who spoke especially on "Preventation of Hog Cholera." Mr. Eaton, of the State Depart ment, lectured on the "Dairy Cow," and gave interesting suggestions ab out the building of silos and the feeding of ensilage. It was a most enthusiastic meeting and the association remained in ses sion until 5 o'clock. All wrent away charmed with Mr. Shelton's magnifi cent home and beautiful farm, and the many interesting suggestions given by the lecturers of the day. The time and place for the next in teresting meeting was left with the president. "Home Coming Week" Thousands of North Carolinians have migrated to all parts of the country. This State has played a great part in the winning of the west and in the development of all sections. North Carolina virility, pluck and ability have proved nota ble factors in many other States. People from the Old North State have set their mark everywhere out have never lost their love for their mother State, North Carolina. Com plete arrangements have been made for a great "Home-Coming Jubilee and Reunion" for all persons born in North Carolina; this to be held at Raleigh during the fiftieth State Fair, October 17-22. Mayor J. S. Wavne is chairman and Fred. A. Olds secretary of the committee which has this matter in charge and they desire to obtain the names and addresses, as far as possible, of any people from this community who now reside in other States, in order that invatations may be sent them. Laugh, Little Fellow. Laugh, little fellow, laugh and sing And just beg ad for everything! Be glad for morning and for night, For sun arid stars that laugh with liht, For trees that chuckle in thebreer' , For singing birds and hummi; r breeze. Be one with them, and laugh alorg And weave their gladness in your song. Let nothing but the twinkie-tears Come to your eyes these happy years, When you are free of task and toil And all the frets that come to spoil The hours of folk whose feet have paced The road along which all must haste Laugh, little fellow, for it drives The shadows out of other lives. Go romping care-free as you will Across the medow, up the hill, And shout your message far away For all the world tn join your play. This is the time for laughter; now, When Time has not set on your brow The finger-prints that come with care And leave abiding wrinkles there. Laugh, little fellow, laugh and sing And coax the joy from everything; Take gladness at it3 fullest worth And make each hour an hour of mirth, So that vhen on the downward slope Of life the radiant sky of hope Will bend above you all the way And make you happy, as today. Chicago Post. The Age of The Earth. How old is the earth? This is the subject of a brief but interesting discussion in The Christian Herald, which deducts from it a sound mor al. The Herald says that Lord Kel vin, half a century ago, put forth the opinion that the age of the earth might be anywhere from 20,000,000 to 400,000,000 years; but late in life he cut his maximum estimate down to 40,000,000 years. Seventeen years ago, Dr. Walcott, of the Smithson ian Institution, reckoned that our globe was probably 70,000,000 years old. Professor Joly, eleven years ago, estimated the age of the sea at 80,000,000 years, while Solas quite lately reckoned that "old oci'an" had rolled over its sandy bed for a period anywhere between 80,000,000 and 150,000.000. And now our geologi cal survey professors, having found the same problem of the earth's an tiquity wholly beyond their skill, have resorted to scientific guessing, like all of their forerunners. They "guess" that the world of ours has been in existence somewhere be tween 55,000,000 and 70,000,000 years. Since the dawn of human reason, says The Herald, four great problems have occupied the mind of man, namely: The earth, the heav ens above; God the Creator, and man and his destiny. These are still the master studies of the race, and each successive age gives us deeper in sight into them. It is a fine thimz when men of intellect take up such studies earnestly and with rever ence. The more they investigate in this spirit, the sooner will they trace clearly the lines of agreement that exist between science and the Bible, rightly interpreted, and the less need there will be for a resort to "guess work" such as that we have seen in relation to the age of the earth. Charlotte Chronicle. Eatino-Place and Flies. The Memphis Commercial-Appeal remarks with approval upon a new sanitary law of Mississippi to the ef fect that every hotel dining room and kitchin must be screened. "If any one doubts the wisdom of this legislation," continues our contemp orary, "let him pause for a minute to consider the breeding places of flies and where they generally con gregate the thickest. It is not in the clean places, but usually in the centers of filth. The feet of the fly are fitted with cups, which fasten and cling to whatever the insect touches, and when he flies away it is to carry the fetid matter which it has touched and in which its eggs are deposited and to carry poison elsewhere." This is sound and va lid argument, beyond question. Even if the fly were not a notorious carrier of disease, especially typhoid fever, the thought of him crawling upon one's food must seem almost unendurable to any victim acquaint ed with his habits. There is need that he be deprived of his breeding places by intelligent sanitation, as well as that he be kept out as far as possible after he is bred. The Mississippi statute embodies a step in the right direction and affords a worthy ex amplean example easily followed if the traveling men concern them selvesto other States Charlotte Observer.
