"If this poor chicken knew how much I was enjoying him," remarked a bright woman at a country Inn not so long ago, "he would have been clad io die." That remark might have beon good for that particular chicken. He did not have far to travel until he reached his ultimate destination. His first owner brought him to the Inn via his cwn automobile and collected for him. Then it was but a step to th frying pan. But It is astonishing what some poor chickens have to suffer. First the7 are killed. Then their lean little car casses arc placed in storage, and .be fore they reach the real and ultimate consumer "t'ney have to carry as many as a dozen profits. As a rule it may be stated that the more profits a chicken acumulates the less he is worth. Hew some of them hold together long enough to reach the table is a mystery. And the same is true with many things. CHARLES B. AYC0CK. North Carolina's Firct Citizen Died Suddenly in Birmingham. THE ATTACK WAS UNEXPECTED Was Delivering an Educational Address in The Alabama City Hhen ti3 Was SiricKen on the PhtUirm and Died Before Assistance Could Reach Wm. Chicago's Way. "I haven't tried it in New York, so i dou't know how obliging they are here," remarked a Chicago man, "but in Chicago they used to take pains to reimburse patrons of gum and chocolate vending machines if the de posited cent failed to deliver. "I had been defrauded of several pennies, and finally reported one loss to the ticket agent of the elevated road at the station the cent had been lest. He took my name and address. A fewdays later I received a letter, saying: '"We regret to learn that you lost one cent on account of one of our ma chines being out of order. We are sending you herewith gum to make good your loss, and wish to assure you that we use every effort to keep the machines in perfect working order, but we cannot prevent attempts at rob bing them, which occasionally damage them cr put them out of order "It was typewritten, had been copied In a letter press, bore a cancelled two cent stamp and "contained two sticks of gum, a blotter and a return ea-relope," Heroic Dream Came True. Patrolman William Noble of Dor chester, ?vlas3., dreamed that he was standing In Peabody square when run away fire horsc3 rounded the cornel. la his dream he saw five little chil dren in the pn.th cf the nad animals. II 3 seized the horses by the bitr, and brought t'nera to a ttcp within tbr2 feet of the children and then he woke up. Still pondering over the dretm Nchi3 went off duty, walked to Pea-L-?5.y square and told another "ccp" at out tht- dream. Just as, he had fin ished two hro horses dashed around the corner, running wild toward a group of children in the square. At the risk cf his own life Noble seized the bits and stopped the pair within a yard cf tha nearest child. Then he counted the children r.nd was aston ished to find there were just five. Chinese Complexions. A French writer ha3 given in La Presse Medieale t-ho results cf his ob servations on massage in China, lie remarks that the exquisite completion of the? ycucg Chinese women is due cot to enameling, as has been sus pected, but to careful manipulation of the face dona by e:;?,sri masseuses. They begin by a gentle pinching of the cheeks between the tips cf their fingers, which lasts fully ten minutes; then apply lotions on absorbent cot ton, then an unguent, and finish by kneading the cheeks with an extreme delicacy cf touch, always proceeding from the nose and commissures of. the lips toward the ears. This Is a harmless and physiologic ally correct process which can be recommended in cases, rarer than 'hey should be, where the physician li ccrsuitsd concerning a faded 01 dhf-fwi-'-o unattractive complexion. i mm TO MOTHER AND CHILD. .

Charles Brantley Aycock, ox-governor of the state and a candidate for the United States senate, drop ped desd while making an education al address in Jefferson auditorium, Birmingham, Alabama, last night at 10:15. Governor Aycock left here Wed nesday afternoon to deliver an ad dress at a branch conference of the southern educational association, which met in the Alabama city. His physicians advised him not to go, but he was especially anxious to make this speech and thought he was able to take the trip. While in the midst of the address he sudden ly staggered and fell to the platform before any tne could reach him. JUST FP.OM HOSPITAL. The ex-governor has recently re turned from a hospital in Philadel phia where he underwent treatment fr the past month and thought he was a great deal better. He has ben in pr-or hea'th for sometime and took the hospital treatment that he might rest and recuperate for the campaign, which he intended to make against Mr. Simmons in the United States senate this fall. He returned from the-hospital saying that he was much befer thn for the past year, b:t s' ill looking very bndly. He skeined to have -undergone a com plete break in health, though there was no constitutional ailment, so the physicians said. He had announced that he would open his campaign for the sena torship the 12? h of this month and at the time of l is sudden death was carrying in his pocket the speech he intended to deliver at the Raleigh audTiorium. On this occa sion he intended to set forth the platform on which he was to make the race for the senate. BORN IN WAYNE. Charles Brantley Aycock was born in Wayne county fifty-three years ago. He spent his boyhood in that county and prepared himself for col lege in the public schools of Kinston. He graduated at the state univertity and also read law lher After re ceiving his license to practice he moved to Goldsboro and there he re mained till 1900 when he became governor of the state of North Caro lina. At the expiration of his term as chief executive he formed a law partnership in Raleigh and has been j practicing in that city since. Mr. Aycock was twice married, each time marrying the daughter of Elder Woodard, of Wilson. He is survived by a widow and eight children. THE WHITE SUPREMACY CAMPAIGN. The campaign of 1900 was a nota ble one in that the democratic suc cess that year marked a turning point in the history of the "white supremacy" was one of the party is sues. The constitutional amend ment, taking the vote from the un educated black?, was before thepeo p'e of the state. The campaign fo!-lo-.ved ti e unfortunate arrogance'of the blacks in the ea? tern Carolina where many of the offices of town and county were filled by negroes. As candidate for governor Charles B. Avcock p ayed a very important part in thi- great and epoch making struggle. However, it was not on th-s issue a!on? that he made his campni.ar;. He promised that, should J b.2 be f ieeted, every b-y and girl in the stiite would have the opoortuni ty ofattending school at least four m mths in every year. He made this fi?ht for a longer school term the great issue in his campaign. He spoke in every section of the state aad the people believed that he meant what he said. At sun down on election day. when the polls were cbsed and the votes counted, it was found that he had swept the state bv about 60,000 plurality, one of the most flattering votes that any candi date for governor has ever received. THE EDUCATIONAL GOVERNOR. Governor Aycock, for that is the name by which the fond citizenship of the whole state know, him, saw that provision was made for a four months school in every district in the state, and during his four years as governor did more for education in North Carolina than any other man. School houres were built fi om the seashore to the mountains. Through his efforts, and that of the corps of mn he gathered about him, the old North State began slowly to drag herself from the position at the foot of the illiteracy list. The work that he started "in those years did not cease when he left the executive chair. The people of North Carolina had been thoroughly aroused to their educational needs, and today h'i3 kbirs are bearing fruit. No more sincere man ever espoused a nobler cause, and in be ing stricken while making a speech in behalf of thi3 great work Gover nor Aycock died in a service that he loved and gave his life to. Other monuments may be'erected to his memory by a people who loved him as they have loved no oth er public man of tfcis generation, but the school housed that have been erected as the result of his labors will ever be a standing monument in every section of the state to the worth of this great man. His name will be carved high in the tablet of fame and his will be a position high in the ranks of North Carolina's noble sons. THE FUNERAL IN RALEIGH. Raleigh, N. C, April 7 For the profusion of flowers, the multitude in attendance and the sincereness of the tributes paid, the funeral service over the remains of former Governor Charles Brantley Aycock, which were held from the First Baptist church this afternoon, are unparalleled in the history of Raleigh. Never be fore have so many people gathered here from all sections of the State; never before have so many notable men and persons of every walk in life assembled in Raleigh in numbers as gathered here tc-day for the funeral of the ex-Governor. Hours b?fore the .services the ho tels and streets were thronged with North Carolinians, come to add their silent tribute to the dead; come to show their love for the State's edu cational Goveimor; come to bow their heads to this friend cf man. Practically the whole of the North Carolina Congressional delegation, including Senator Simmons, all of the judiciary, lawyers, teachers, la borers all were here. The floral designs were numerous and beautiful. These flowers were sent by public men, school children and institutions. The death of Governor Aycock was not unnoticed in the various church es. Ministers, speaking of the lisen Lord, paid tribute to the dead Gov ernor, referring to him affectionate ly and quoting one or more of his eloquent sayings. Threatening weather in the after noon did not prevent the crowds from assembling about the capitol, where since Saturday evening at six o'clock the body had lain in state. Hundreds of people formed in line to view for the last time the counte nance of the State's beloved leader. The funeral services were held from the First Baptist church. Hun dreds of people, unable to enter, re mained on the outside with heads bowed and uncovered. Within Dr. T. W. O'Kelly, pastor of the First Baptist church; the Rev. P. D. Gold, of Wilson, and Bishop Kilgo, of Durham, conducted the simple ser vices. Prof. Wade R. Brown, of Meredith College, conducted the music. Interment followed in Oak wood cemetery.

There are estimated to be one hundred thousand blind persons, old and young, in this country. Not less than five hundred of these live in North Carolina. Had it ever oc curred to yo.u, gentle reader, that at least seventy-five to one hundred of these need not have been blind ought not to have been, and would not have been if proper precaution and preventive measures had been! employed immediately after their ! birth? "What blindness means to an in-j telligent, capable man or "woman," ! to quote the words of a blind man who has, in the face of heavy odds, taken his place in the world with signal success, "is something which only the Lord and the devil and those who endure it know anything about; in their blackest nighmares, those with sight cannot even im- j agine it." That it is possible to pre vent much of such anguish seems not to have dawned upon the aver age citizen. Is such ignorance and indifference not criminal, positively wicked? Then who is responsible? From one-fourth to one-third of all blind children lose their sight irom wnat is usually cancel sore eyes," "inflammation," etc. This ! is really "ophthalmia neonatorum," j a germ disease, which can be cured if taken in time and the proper rem-! edies used. These remedies should be applied as soon &3 the child is born, whether any signs of imflam-' mation are discovered or not. The ! .nTMft(lfr .?.ill "! rr Um.t if- v.T fl n x . n 1 your child's sight. If the eyes, nose, mouth and ears of every new-born babe should be thoroughly washed immediately j after its birth in a weak solution of j boracic acid (borax water), one drop j of a solution of nitrate of silver, not ! stronger than one per cent, put in; the eyes, and the child thereafter! kept clean, blindness among chil-i dren in our State would be reduced at least twenty-five per cent. Do ; you realize what that would mean j to the one hundred homes in North " Carolina in which there are children i "needlessly blind"? j And are you aware what it would i save the State financially to thus preserve the sight of all such chil- dren? Not less than ?20,000.G0 aj year. Is it not worth the effort? j Then does it not behoove every (no, to do all in his power to spread the ! information and seek to bless the f homes into which the little ones: come?
