Prof. Todd, of Amherst College, with a coris of assistants, is now en route for South America, intending to ascend a Inch iak of the Andes, and take ihotograplis of the mys terious planet through a mammoth telescojie 03 a specially construct ed camera- When these pictures are developed it is confidently hop ed that they will greatly augment the sura total of human knowledge by furnishing an answer to the question: 'Is Mars inhabited, and are those strange markings which radiate in seeming design from the polar caps, where the supiosed Martian seas exist, arti ficial or natural f1 It does not seem to us that the prospect of getting the desired en lightenment is brilliant. The dis tance is more than immense. If interplanetary transportation were Iiossible, and one could travel to ward Mars at the rate of 1,000 miles a day, the journey would occupy 3C,000 days or 72,000 days for the round trip, if no stops were maae on the planeL Wis the Father of Twenty-Seven. (Salisbury Special. 15th. to Charlotte Chronicle.) Ambrose Sharp, Sr., an aged 1 Methodist exhorter and faithful da v hand, died last night from a fall sustained last week while working on the colored church, which was being lorn away. ThcToId fellow's age is not knowpwith exactness, but he was over seventy. The remarkable thing about him was that he was the father of 27 children, more than a plurality of whom five, scattered all over the earth. He did not know all of .them. He was three times married and his race has turned out well. It is be lieved tnat he held the record for children. WHY HE FAILED Kept Back ty Foolish Prejudices, the Best li Bis Nitore Lay HMJei. (Orison Swett MardetTin Succem.) W I . . mm i Know a most estimable man, thoroughly honest and able, who has been very seriously handicap ed in his advancement by his an tipathy to ieopIe in general. Somehow he seems to have a pre judice against everybody, until he becomes thoroughly acquainted with him and knows his real worth. When he is introduced to a strong er, he unconsiously braces himself against him, 'as though he wanted to protect himself against him, for fear he might commit, himself in way that might compromise him later, should the stranger not be of the kind of people with whom he would lite" to associate. He has man3 strong friends. but he makes them slowly. With rare exceptions, he says that he is prejudiced against people, often very strongly, at the first meeting, especially if they happen to show anything in their appearance or manner which indicates lack of great refinement and culture. The least evidence of coarseness or of unusual "nerve or "Vlieek,1 or anything which looks like pre sumption or overconlidenco or ego tism, prejudices him so strongly that it takes him a long time to overcome it. In other words he says has sient a good part of in overcoming prejudices that he his life that he has held against eople. He seems to have a good heart and a fine nature, but he is natu rally prejudiced against icoplc in general, and he seems to reverse the rule that every man is sup josotl to be innocent until he is proved guilty. Kveryone must prove his genuineness before he will take him into his confidence or esteem, or even resiect him. This prejudice has stood as a great barrier across this excellent man's path. Hut for it he would undoubtedly have occupied a much higher place in his profession. He Ims tried religiously to over come this prejudice, but has never been able to do so. When he is introduced to a stranger he puts out his hand reluctantly, hesitat ingly, cautiously, as though he were in great fear that he was be ing led into a trap. He does not dare to greet the x?rson cordially and heartily, lest he regret it af terwards. He proceeds so very cautiously mat toe oilier nexsnn feels imlmrrasbCil arxl naturally gets a Iwil impression. It is not because tins man tie- desires to be exclusive, or because he feels letter than the others, that he acts in this manner; it is simply owing to an involuntary prejudice against everybody he does not know intimately. What a misfortune that children cannot have these peculiarities and idiosyncrasies educated out of their natures when they are young anJ plastic, instead of letting them grow up as rank weeds to sap their energies and keep off the sunlight. to humiliate ami cmbarras them through life! How much it would mean ti children if they could, be trained to oienness of nature, large heart ed ness and generosity; if they could lie taught always to greet oeonlo conliallv and kindly. ..with an open, resiwnsi ;c naiurei . .... It is a great thing to cultivate a genial disiositiorr, a broad mag nanimity ami charity for every body. It is a irreat thinir to feel at the first meeting with u stranger that one is favorably, generously re ceived; to feel that he is basking in the sunlight of a cordial nature, and that he is welcome and the stranger is glad to meet him. Write Poetry. (Emporia (Kan.) (Gazette.) Every man, woman and child should write poetry. It is like boils; it prevents worse sickness. If there were more ioets there would Ik; fewer crimnals. Poetry is in every man's blood. If he doesn't write it at some time or an otherduringhis life watch out for him. His wild oats are unsown; they will rot in his system and sour his nature. Write poetry, therefore, so long as there is a jingle in your soul. The man who would advise corking up poetry unwritten in a human heart would have all the world full of brain storms and Ihe devil to pay. It's a great business, this poetry busi ness. And the man who hasn't had his fling with love and dove and spring and wing and skies and eyes and true and you and girl and pearl and lips and sips and honey drips (inspected and guaran teed absolutely pure) is like the man who died aged 74 years with out being hungry he missed a lot of fun filling up.

(States rille Landmark.) The Charlotte Observer charges The Landmark with being an icon oclast and having a grudge against whales because we have proven from the Scriptures that it was not a whale that swallowed Jonah but a great fish a sea monster, most probably a shark. Says the Observer: Jonah would not be Jonah without the whale. The whale immortalizes Jonah. Jonah im- mortlizes the whale. As well think of separating Nisus from Kuryalius liamcin from Pythias, Mary from tlielamb, Alphonse from Gaston. It must be obvious to anj- thinking man that a blars ted shark would not answer the purpose at all. The Landmark is engaged in the laudable work of keeping historv straight and we can't help what the effect is. Because tradition has made a whale swallow Jonah doesn't make it true and the Ob serve might as well give up the sentiment and join the procession. Bro. Johnson, of Charity and Children, comes up like a man on the Absalom proposition. Hesavs: 'Bro. Clark of The Landmark, having been flung by some theolo gians in his section on the proposi tion that Jonah was swallowed by a shark, hopes to win an easy vic tory over this writer by asking him how Absalom met his death. Now we are willing to concede 9 m that Clark is mightier in the Script ures than we are, but he must hunt up a harder question than the one he has asked before him. We proceed to inform our neighbor on nana, ' ana without scraping the dust from the office Bible, that Absalom, like Lot's wife, looked back one time too many and rode right into the fork of an oak tree. where his beast unloaded him, and where Joab found him hanging by his jaws. His hair had nothing to do with the business. Will that do. Landmark? You are fairly correct except in the statement that The Landmark has been flung on the Jonah-whale proposition. It hasn't been flung at all. But Bro. Johnson does better thap the Observer. He doesn't argue that because tlie picture books have always shown Absalom hanging by his hair, and the story is nearly always told that way, that it must be true. He quotes from the record, for the Book doesn't mention hair in Absalom s case; neithes does it mention whale in Jonah's case. Hope for You. 1 am an ordinary man. it is with sorrow I admit it, for 1 had inv aspirations. 1 meant to achieve greatness. As a bov I was a hero-worshiier; I had the greatest respect for the fellow who could do things for the boy who beat me in athletics, for the teach er who could make the dullest pu nil understand, for the man who could sway multitudes by his ora tory. As I grew older, I had my favorite heroes in literature and history Robinson Crusoe, Alex ander the Great, and an indiscri minate host of others. I was emulous of all this heroism. I, too, would do something worth while. In my boyish vagueness, I diil not know whether I should be an explorer, a great soldier, a writer of books, a sculptor, or what; but of one thing I was cer tain I would be a great man; the world should hear of me some day. I started on my college life full of high hopes and purposes. I met some success, enough to en courage me to press on. I learned many things not in the curriculum. And it was here, I remember, that I caught the first faint glimmer of a truth which I was afterward to learn more thoroughly through tribulation and disaster; namely, that the most important thing in life is not so much what we do as what we are 'Confessions of an Ordinary Man, in the May Circle. Be Honest With The Editor. (Exchange.) There is probably no man en gaged in the newspaier business in this State, who is notaquainted with a man whose excuse for dis continuing his subscription is that he already ''has more papers than he can read." It is only an excuse ogered to ameliorate the presumed lacerated condition of the editor's feelings It has Yio such effect for in the first place an editor never worries over the loss of a subscrib er except when ho leaves the country without paying up arrear ages But why not be truthful and say to the honest newspaper man just what you feel in j-our heart. Go into his den, ask him how much you owe, pay the de liauencv and tell him frankly you dont want his disreputable black- beard sheet any longer. Say to him in a sorrowful tone of voice that you deeply regret his inability to publish a newspaper worthy the name and advise him to sell his plant to some man with a thim ble full of brains and' seek some occupation which does not require much wear of the mmu. Do this and then you can go away with the comforting assurance that the editor respects you for your can dor and will cherish no hard feel- ,ngs oecause you cnoose to r- row his paper instead of buying . , t t it. Remember, that a good pocket knife goes with every cash-in-ad vance subscription. Theodore Roosevelt: A Man of Contrasts .

Like all men genius, be inspires both admira tion and fear, enthusiasm and bit tei hostility. By birth an aristocrat, yet the trend of his mind is democratic. A rich man's son, yet he has scorn ed idleness and luxury, and devot ed his life to strenuous endeavor. By nature delicate, he has by training made himself an athlete. A native of the great Eastern metropolis, his delight has been he plains, the hills, the cabins and among the cowboys of the Wild West, and the v est claims him as ts own even more than New York.

But he was not content to spend his life in a library. His success has been in contact with men, his enthuiasm has been chieftly with those who do things, the pioneer, the engineer, the hewer of wood and the drawer of water, and his own fame rests less upon the grace of his writings and the strength of his oratory than upon the, things he has accomplished.

Independent to a degree that no other successful politician has attained yet, he has the parti san record of never bolting a party ticket. A reformer, yet he has known how to run the machine in stead of letting the machine run him. Devoted many years to civil service reform, yet he has on oc casions made his power of appoint ment serve the purposes of his po litical aims. An apostle of peace who has led warring nations to terms and brought about the hoiuinir or a world peace congress, he has won the Nobel prize, yet his most con spicious service in the navy depart ment was to make sure that the gunners learned how to shoot, and while in the war of 1898, he left civil life to lead a regiment up San Juan hill. A Republican yet he has appro priated Democratic platforms. A Protestant in religion yet he has in a conspicious degree won the confidence of Catholics, and he is the first president to put a Jew in his cabinet. A Northerner by birth, daring to invite a colored man to his table, yet he has gained the supiort of the South which was the home of his mother. The enforcement of law is his chief iolitical creed, and yet he has not hesitated to interpret the constitution, so as to centralize power in the Federal executive. An idealist yet he calls himself "a practical man,' and ho has, broken every record of practical politics. He lacks the charm and personal distinction of many men far his inferiors in ability and station, and yet he gives an overwhelming impression of Napoleonic power of will. He is a radical, so that the financial interests of the country fear him, and yet somehow he has made his radicalism serve as the buttress of the rights of property. He is intensely American, yet he has impressed the imagination and captured the admiration of Europe and the Orient The sweep of his genius can be summed up in the fact that he is both student and hunter, policeman and preach er, the man of the clubs and the rough rider. Is it any wonder that he is look ed upon as a phenomenon, that people marvel what new thing he will next do, that at one moment he is denounced as a monster and a wrecker, and at the next hailed as a patriot, now classed with Dan ton and Robespierre of the French revolution, and a little later spok en of as a second Abraham Lin coln, at one time bitterly assailed as the agent of the privileged classes, and presently acclaimed as the representative of the whole people.

For thirty- - seven years, Mr. bnyder was a - 1 Baptist minister. He was pastor I from time to time of a great many of the leading churches of his de- I nomination in this county and on - the borders of Anson county and - f Chesterfield county, S. C. He loved the work of the ministry with a true and ardent devotion Through the heat of summer, the cold of winter, endanererinfir life in crossing swollen streams, he went to fill his appointments, and no one needing the consolation and the help that a christian minister coqld render ever went without such ministration if it were a phys ical possibility for Rev.

He can stand before the faster and say with confidence. Aiie poor nave naa ine erosnei ni i i i.i i preached to them. The Civil war, through which Mr. Snyder served as a Confeder ate soldier, knocked Mr. Snyder out of an education, as it did many other Southern boys. He had a receptive and a retentive mind and during all the years of his ministry he made a study of the Scriptures. He was wonder- fully well versed in the Bible and no one could quote more aptly and more readily than lie could from i the old book he took as his life I guard. He had a wonderful hold upon the people whom he served as pastor and was greatly beloved by them. During his sickness Mr. Snvder's only expressed regret was that he could not continue in His beloved work. His first sermon -wusprettciiuu at xaum viiuiUlV in Marshville township and his - last sermon was preached there on the first Sunday in April this year. Besides his wife Mr. Snyder leaves five sons and three daugh ters, seven of these being by his first marriage and one by his last marriage. The sons are Rev. J. W. Snyder of Concord, Messrs. D. B. and S. C. Snyder of Mon roe, Rev. J. S. Snyder of Chester, S. C., Mr. E. C. Snyder of Lanes Creek township and Mr. E. M. Snyder of Monroe. The daugh ters are Mesdames T. P.

Leeds, a guest of the Warner Hotel, who was found dead in his room last night, having committed suicide by taking strchynine. The reasons were as follows: "1 I have been dissatisfied since I was a child. "2 I have been handicapped throughout life with deformed feet. "3 One side of my body has been partly paralized for the past ten years. "4 My right hands has been ruined by an accident. .5,4-1 have been a sufferer from neuralgia. '6 I have been up against a score of financial misfortunes." Leeds, who, it is supposed was a chemist, left a letter addressed to Miss Blanche Keller, Swanton, O., and it is believed his home was at that place. He was about 30 years old. .
