TIE REJECTS PRESIDENT. Death Reveals Romance of Daughter of Former U. S. Treasurer, Who Lived Nearly a Century. !|St. Louis, .laii. 28.?Ou Satur ay thefuueral ol the late Miss Mary Anu Casey took place at Casey ville, Ky. Tue death of the lady in this city has revealed a rouiauce. Miss Casey was the daughter of Samuel Casey, of Kentucky, who was Treasurer of the United States under the ad ministration of Presidents Pierce and Hucnanau. Miss Casey was 97 years of age when she died She was born in Morgaufield, Ky., an ' reared i:i Caseyville W hen just budding into wo manhood she accompanied her father to Washington, where he entered upon his official duties as a Cabinet officer, rsne inline uiately became a reigning bell in the society of the capital, and as President Muchunan had just been inaugurated she was thrown much into his society, and he fell in love with her. The daughter of the Treasurer did { not look wiiti favor ou the Chief Executive's suit, however, as she was in love with a first cousin, Gov. Trapuell. Her father was against this love affair, aud af ter years spent in trying to get him to see it as the two lovers saw it, Trapuell finally married another first cousin. MissCasey remained true to his memory, however, and has never married. Miss Casey was .very reticent regarding her social conquests and affairs of the heart. She was of the old Southern stock, and was imbued with all the ideas of her race. Piles got quick relief from Dr. Shoop's Magic Ointment.

Observation Pays. Young man, look around you. Watch the signs of the times. Keep up with the procession as it were. See what is going on all around you. Do not stop with this. Find out the moving spirit and get acquainted with it. Be come its associate and co-worker. Then you will be on the road to success. There is no place for droues and incompetents. They are a drug on the market. They al ways were and always will be stumbling blocks to progress. They are too numerous whether tuere be one or many. They not only fail to accomplish anything themselves, but are always in the way of others, always just where they ought not to be, and what is worst don't care whether they get out of the way or not. The signs of the times point to the supremacy of brains, clear, strong, thoroughly trained brains, with an acuteness of per ception and continuity of pur pose that enables them to pierce the fogs and mists of the morn ing and emerge undaunted into the clear sunlight of the full noontide of success. Young man, if you hope to be in the forward ranks you must - be qualified. You must spare no labor to quicken your intellect to its best endeavor.?Carolina Pythian. GUARANTEED STOMACH REMEDY. Hood Bros. Will Refund Money If Ml-o-na Fails to Cure. You may asit why Hood Bros, aro able to guarantee to refund the money unless Mi-o-na Stom ach Tablets cure when no other remedy for stomach troubles is sold in this manner. The reason for this is that or dinary dyspepsia tablets merely digest the food, while Mi-o-na builds up and strengthens the digestive system so that it soon begins to digest the food itself without pain or distress. If the stomach is only given a rest by using a digestive, the muscles soon become weak, and it is necessary to continue tak ing a digestive tablet after every meal. On the other hand, Mi-o na used before eating, strength ens the stomach so that you will soon be well enough to give up the use of medicine. Mi-o-na costs but 50c a box, and makes positive and complete cures. The best proof of its merits is the guarantee to re fund the money if it does not cure that Hood Bros, give with every box. Beauty is worse than wine?it intoxicates both the holder and beholder.?Zimmerman. Notes and Comments. Mrs. Louisa M. Lute died at her home in Baltimore last week at the advanced age of 103 years. On the same day Augustus W. Miles died in the same city, aged 100 years. Tbeodore P. Shouts, who has been cu >'rman of the Panama |Canal Commission for the past 18 months, has resigned his po sition to take place March 4th. Mr. Shonts has done much for the organization of the work of digging the i'anama Canal, and his resignation is accepted with reiuctunce by the President. Mr. Shonts resigned his position in order that he might accept the presidency of the Inter-lJorough Metropolitan Railway co., of .New York; at a much larger sal ary than he was receiving as the head of the Panama Canal Com mission. The President has ap pointed Chief Engineer John 8. Stevens to succeed him. United States Senator Russell A. Alger died suddenly at his home in Washington last week lie was a member of President Mb Kin ley's first cabinet. He was elected Governor of Michigan in 1884 and served one term. He was a candidate for the Kepubli can nomination for the presiden cy in 1888 and had a strong fol lowing. He was appointed Uni ted 8tates Senator from Michi ' 1 IkA.I LI A . . II gaii in wneu senator Mc Millan died. Iu l'JOd he was elected to the Senate to complete the term. He would have retired from the Senate March 4th if he had lived that long, the legisla ture having elected William Al den Smith to succeed him. Sen ator Alger was reported to be worth $20,000,000. The Texas Legislature last week elected Joseph W. bailey to succeed himself in the United States Senate. Senator bailey is considered by many to be the ablest man in the United States Senate today, and until last summer he was considered a strong presidential possibility in case the next Democratic nomi nation should be given to a Southern man. On account of an article published iu the Cos mopolitan Magazine last sum mer, charging him with being connected with the Standard Oil Trust, his popularity in Tex as has greatly waned. The Senatorial primary last summer unanimously decided in favor of returning him to the Senate, but on account of the charge men tioned above, several members of the Legislature refused to sup port him for re-election. The Texas Legislature is now mak ing uu investigation into these charges, but Senator bailey is confident that he will come out of the controversy unharmed. However strong his vindication may be,the charges made against him have militated against him as a possible presidential candi date. Free Seed and Free Education. The House Committee on Ag riculture has just completed the agricultural appropriation bill, which provides that the sum of #2-42,000 heretofore appropria ted for the purchase of seeds to be distributed by members of Congress shall be used in the purchase and distribution of rare and valuable seeds by the Secre tary of Agriculture. It is to be hoped that this is the beginning of the end of the free-seed farce, which hus been a iitavy expense with a very little | benefit to anybody except the members of Congress. For our part, we believe that the interests of agricultbre would be far bet-! ter served if the free-seed distri bution should be abolished en tirely, and the money used in educational work. The Depart ment of Agriculture has been reuderiug valuable service in dis seminating information, but it is greatly hampered by the meagre appropriation to this purpose. It is very anxious to extend its work in these directions, and Congress has enacted the neces sary legislation. Hut the money was lacking. While the sum of #242,000 has been appropriated for free seeds for campaign pur poses, a pitiful #4,000 has been appropriated for educational work. Away with such nonsense. Abolish free seeds, and give the farmers and their children free instruction in scientific agricul ture?Richmond Times-Dispatch 1 have lived to know that the great secret of human happiness is this: Never suffer your ener j gies to stagnate.?Dr. Adam Clarke.

The reading habit is growing by leaps and bounds among the children of North Carolina, the inauguration of the rural library system for the public schools of North Carolina in 1901 having proved a great success as shown by the increasing number of school districts that have taken up the work. In the six years the system has been in vogue it has proved so successful that many States are following the leild of North Caro lina in the work There are now in the State 1,572 libraries, for which there has been spent 1, 144 by the State, counties and districts. Iij the libraries there are 141,8S0 volumes, and with an average of 1)3 children to a school district there are now 189,-tOti children who have ac cess to the libraries, while in the State there are 709,182 chil dren. While all the funds for the past year are exhausted there will be available in the next two years sufficient fuuds to establish 500 libraries and 500 supplemental libraries, thus placing the riches of good literature within the reach of many more thousand children in the State.?Uoldsboro Argus. The South s Greatest Need. Dr. Walter Page sounded the keynote when he said in his re cent address in Richmond that if this country would proper as it should, and if its democracy was to attain anything like per fection, education must take a more practical turn. Mr. James R. Garfield made much the same observation in a later speech in New York. "In this country," said he, "we have too much discussion of the rights of citizenship and too little discussion of the duties of citizen ship. It sometimes seerns to me that our form of education has placed a false standard on intellectual and industrial life It has made our men and women believe that manual labor is not dignified, while as a fact we should all recognize that a great majority of our citizens have to earn their living by honest manual labor. American men and women must come out of college equipped to do practi cal thiugs." This change must be brought about bv a change in public senti ment. We must get rid of our silly notion that it is more re spectable to be a professional man than to be a mechanic. We must not judge a maiaby his oc cupation, by his character and his usefulness. But that is not all. We must give our boys at school the opportunity to learn a good trade and to learn it well. There is an active and growing demand for skilled workmen and the pay is high. The South is rich in materials for manufactur ing purposes, and her lands are productive. But she needs skill ed mechanics and scientific farm ers. She should not depend on other sections or foreign lands for them. She should take her own bovs and train them to the work.?Richmoud Times Dis patch.

SCHNAPPS has been advertised in this paper so that every chewer has had an opportunity to get acquainted with the facts and know that drugs are not used to produce the cheering quality found in the famous Piedmont country flue-cured tobaccos, and that SCHNAPPS is what he ought to chew. Still there are chewers who accept other and cheaper tobaccos that do not give the same pleasure. Some day they'll get a taste of the real Schnapps?they'll realize what enjoyment they've missed by not getting SCHNAPPS long ago?then they'll feel like kicking themselves. SCHNAPPS is sold everywhere in 5 cent cuts, and 10 and 15 cent plugs. Be sure you get the genuine.
