Cash In Advance.. 11.00 Bii Months .60 PURPOSE OF EDUCATION. William Jennings Bryan recent ly closed an address to the stu dents of a Woman's College as follows : "There is one thought I want to leave with you, and that is all your education is for one purpose, that you shall be better prepared to do the work that lies before you. You are now just being prepared for the larg er service, the larger life. We are not measured by the manner of our accomplishments, but by the way we meet our opportuni ties." A PROGRESSIVE POLICY. The Carolina Democrat, a new and unique journal, recently made Its appearance at Monroe, N. C., with Mr. K. F. Heasley, one of the State's leading editorial writers, as its editor. It carries no advertising and Is working solely for the upbuild ing of the State. We welcome it in the field of North Carolina Journal ism and wish It much success. Its policy is the policy we are trying to uphold and carry out to the best of our understanding, and this purpose is so well expressed that we glad ly give It a place here: "The purpose of The Carolina Dem ocrat is to stand for the progressive and uplifting movements of the time that are now working In State and Nation for more just and whole some conditions in public affairs and a larger and fuller development of Individual life, and to help its read ers, of whom It expects to have scores in every section of the State, to interpret, understand and apply the principles involved. It is demo cratic In the broadest sense of the word, because democracy is the only condition under which men can live and achieve their greatest civ ic and Individual success. It be lieves that conditions under which men live and work can be made in finitely more favorable and helpful If we will but set aboul to accomplish tfct task. It believes that the great est object of government and so ciety itself is the happiness and welfare of the individual, and It be lieves that all selfish or restrictive influences that stand In the way of this purpose should be removed. And It further believes that a freer and fuller application of democracy will remove hose influences. Hence it believes that in the worldwide move ment towards this freer and fuller application, the breaks should be taken off instead of put on. There fore In the language of the day, it It Progressive. It believes in the triumph of righteousness and thinks that this generation ought to contri bute Its part towards that end, and anything that seems, in its erring Judgment, to point towards that achievement, will have its support. With charity, forbearance, and good ?will it sets about its work." SUBSCRIBERS CAN HELP US. Everybody likes a newsy paper. Every reader wants the news of bis neighborhood published, but so lew are willing to put themselves to any trouble to send in the news. Editors want to publish the news from every neighborhood, but can not da so, unless It is sent In to them. Are you a Herald subscriber? Theti send us the news, if anything of importance happens In your neigh borhood. Do not depend on some one else to send the news, but inquire the particulars about any thing, which has happened and for ward the same to us. Do not say that it will come out In The Herald, and fail to Bend it to us. It will he published if you send it, but way not otherwise. We ask all our subscribers to assist us In mak ing The Herald a newsy paper, by ?ending us all the news of im portance. There was a tax of eighteen pence on every newspaper ad vertisement in Lngland sixty I years ago, and this almost entire- I jy shut our receipts from that 1 source. That was before the 1 days of the cheap newspaper. MR. BROOKS TO CONTINUE THE PRACTICE OF LAW For the past ten years Hon. Edw. W. Pou and Mr. F. 11. Brooks have been associated In the practice of law, under the firm name of Pou & Brooks, with offices In Smith field. Mr. Brooks having been ap pointed to preside over the Record er^ Court for Johnston County, the firm of Pou & Brooks has been dis solved. Mr. Pou has associated with him Mr. h. H. Allred, of Selina, and will continue the practice of law, un der the firm name of Pou & Allred, at the old office of Pou & Brooks; vhlle Mr. Brooks has opened of fices for the practice of law In Mr. W. L. Woodall'8 building, upstairs ever Mr. N. B. Grantham's cloth ing store. Our attention has been called to a paragraph In the local columns of lKst week's Herald, which read: { "The lav.- firm of Pou & Brooks has been dissolved, Mr. Brooks withdraw ing to become Recorder for the Johnston County Recorder's Court. Mr. Pou has associated with him Mr. L. 11. Allred of Selma." Inas much as no mention was made of Mr. Brooks continuing in the practice of law, it might have been construed by some to mean that Mr. Brooks had withdrawn from the practice of law. This Is not true. and such an inrerence or construction would do Mr, Brooks an injustice. As stated above, Mr. Brooks will continue the practice of law, and have oflfces In Mr. Woodall's buil ding, upstairs over Mr. N. B. Gran tham's clothing store. As we understand from the bill creating the Recorder's Court (which was published in The Herald of March 17th) Mr. Brooks will not be able to practice In the Courts of Justices of the Peace In Johnston County in criminal cases below the grade of a felony. Including larceny and receiving cases where the value of the property is less than twen ty dollars. He can prosecute or de fend In any case of felony in Jus tice's Courts and in the Superior Court. Further, he can appear in any civil case In the Superior Court, except cases which he has passed upon in the Recorder's Court. No civil case instituted before any Jus tice of the Peace in the County iB appealable to the Recorder's Court, but directly to the Superior Court, as lias always been the law. Also, we understand that Mr. Brooks is at liberty to appear In any civil ac tion instituted before any Justice of the Peace in the County. Ills prac tice before the Clerk, or in the Federal Courts will not be affected by reason of his duties as Recorder. We say this much to correct Jtny wrong impression that may have been made by the paragraph above referred to, as we would not do Mr. Brooks, or any other person, an Intentional wrong, and we do not wish any unintended construction to bo placed upon the paragraph men tioned, which was written hurriedly just as the paper was going to press. Roosevelt and the Bible. In I.is address recently at the Uni versity of California, Theodore Roos evelt urged the study of the Bible In ull co'leges. lie deplored the tendency to confine the Bible cours ee to theological seminaries, and advised the study of the Scriptures by ?l! persons as a guide to con duct. Mr. Roosevelt might well have prescribed the Hlble as a guide to young persons desiring to acquire a ^ desirable literary style, lie could also have suggested it as a satis factory substitute for current works of fiction In the case of persons who are seeking interesting romances. To lovers of poetry he could also have recommended the Psalms and other portions of the Scriptures as super ior to the poets whose names have become shrines around which many literary clubs worship. Any student who Is seeking a per fect piece of narration should not overlook the story of the creation as it is related in Genesis. It Is a clear-cut, direct expression. Ruth is one of the most beautiful romance* Imaginable. Job offers an entertain ing story of great beauty. Orators, historians, novelists, mu sicians and poets alike have found inspiration in the Bible. Its lsm plo, effective style, Its marvelous stories and 1U wonderful teachings are so interwoven with all of mod ern art which Is worth while that It la impossible to tell where the Influence of the holy writ begins and ends. When Mr. Roosevelt advised the University of California students to seek guidance in the Bible he di rected them to the text-book which In effect embraces all others and transcends them.?Nashville Ten neaseean. True religion Is not Imposed, but Inspired; ft is not a thing of the letter, but of the spirit; it means the presence of the living Qod and his liv ing. redeeming love in the heart ? lamea Dcnney. I I H THE PROFESSOR TALKS. II J; it k. hum. * 1 would teach a boy music. think It perfectly right for any man to understand, appreciate and love this divine art. Nor would 1 con sider him effeminate, who could play some splendid creation of the great Masters on the violin, the piano, or any other dignified Instrument. The Greeks were fond of music. David the proudest of Israel's Kings play ed on the harp. No religious or political festival In antiquity was void of music. The old Bible enum erates the different instruments on which the psalm stagers accompan ied themselves. In modern days, the most savage tribes have their musicians. The finest tribute to this splen did art, is found in Orpheus and Eurldlce. Orpheus had lost the lat ter, his wife. Stricken with grief lie goes to the gates of hell. He obtains an interview with the In fernal powers. He is permitted to take his w 5 with him to earth again, prov; d thut in going out of hell he shall play. He played and all hell Btopped to listen to his plaintive song. We know the out come of the story, how the unfor tunate man looked back and lost his lady-love. It is said of this same sweet singer that the lions sat and listened to his lay. Who shall forget the friend of Hiawatha, the "sweetest of musi cians'' Chiblabos? Longfellow made him one of the great characters In his Immortal "Hiawatha." Longfel low had learned this appreciation of the singer from the Indians them selves. * Who would to-day destroy a single strain of "Dixie," my "Old Kentucky Home," and "Old Black Joe?" Who would not deprecate the vandalism of him, that would desrtoy the Bub lime strains of "Home, Sweet home." We have sung the praises of our God In undying hymns, we have gone to the battlefield, to a thousand trials, a song on our lips, a song in our souls. For mu sic is the attuned voice of th?, human heart. That is why we should sing.?And play. There is a vast world, a beautiful world, that lies beyond the confines of our ev ery day life. It is a land of purest poetry, In which the elect enter. Souls must have reached a high I'late of culture and development to enter this domain. Still it exists and thousands and millions enter in this glorious realm from the staid monotony of their daily duties. How often have I seen in the great cen ters of civilization, even the hum blest in life, cultured in taste, fol low the baton of the musical direc tor and enter with him the fairy land of music? I have seen an Italian audience weep the bitterest tears over the sad fate of a Lucia de Lammermoor, I have seen Germans bow their heads In reverence, when the Pilgrim Chor us in Tannhauser seemed to open the floodgates of prayer. I have seen the French sob with anguish when the strains of the Calvary March of Gounod's Redemption were heard, and I have seen eyes beaon with tho keenest delight when the soul stirring Marseillaise rang out in the morning air. There is a world of music, and it lies at our door. Happy the girl who may enter this fairy land,, who may turn to her musical library and read and study the wonderful ac cents that come to us from other singers. If this be true of our girls, that the wonderful world of muBic may be opened to them, how is It that the boys should be excluded from these beautiful precincts?

He just walks in here some morning bright and early, and the first we know of his presence is his remark, "I guess I'll count your cash." Next he goes over all the books of the bank, examines and counts the notes and securities, adds the depositor's ledger, in fact scrutinizes every record in the bank. Then he usually calls the cashier aside and informs him that the books show John Doe's account overdrawn $10.00, puncturing the statement with "What did-you-let-him-do-it-for?'' But say, when he gets through you can wager that if there is the slightest hitch in the accounts or methods of this bank we hear from the bank examiner. The bank examiner has always complimented us.
