COX Furniture On "The Square s TQHEY Many folks know that when an article of furniture or whole outfit f liou-o furnishings are to be bought, the safest plan is to come dircctlly to my store and find what you want at prices to suit the times.

Kitchin, candidate for govern or, have woefully failed "to bol ster" up his cause by accusing Mr. Craig of being the candidate of the Southern Railway and the American Tobacco Co. They raised the issue by mere insinua tions, for there appears never to have been any proof, and certainly it would have produced had it should be reversed. The nation was frenzied by faction. Abuse and threats of personal violence were heaped upon the chief jus tice. Crowds thronged the hall where he sat. Amid such sur roundings, in his addresss from the bench, Mansfield gave utter ance to these memorable words: 4If, during this king's reign, I have ever supported his govern ment, assisted his measures, I have done it without any other reward than the consciousness of doing what I thought right.

The talents of the unthinking man will wither; the man who thinks will develop tal ents. To him that hath shall be given; but only to the degree that he makes use of what he has. The power to think that can be increased in value many fold by the process of thinking. In this way one of America's most widely known business men says that he has won success. Asked the secret of his great com mercial triumph he said (in sub stance): "Thinking and trying, and thinking and trying again." One way to develop this habit of concentrated thinking is to re solve to think on only one subject for a limited definite period of time. One who has not striven to control his thoughts will find, at the beginning of the effort, that it is extremely difficult to do so even for a five-minute period. The repetition of the effort, however, will bring mental exhilaration and the ability to hold the mind to one subject at will. Another aid in the acqumng of the habit of mental concentration is a careful and deliberate selec tion of subjects on which the mind is to be centered. For ex ample, these: How can I build up a purer and stronger life? By what means can I increase my physical vigor? What habits do I need to form in order that 1 may be more efficient in my busi ness life? How can I add to the real happiness of the members of my own home? Twenty minutes of constant thought on each of these subjects would help in the forma tion of an invaluable habit and open anew era of happiness and use fulness in unnumbered lives. A Cure for Miseryr . ' I have found a cure for the misery malaria poison produces," says R. M. James of Louellen, S. C. "It's called Electric Bitters, and comes in 50-cent bottles.

It means always the placing of the life upon the altar of service. In any case the Shepherd is for the sheep and he will sacrifice himself for them rather than that they be sacrificed. Jesus said, 'I am the Good Shepherd. . . I lay down my life for the sheep." The sacrifice was voluntary. "Therefore doth my father love me because I lay down my life, that I may take it again." ILLUSTRATIVE. The lesson falls easily into three divisions. The true Shepherd. The door of the fold. The Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd knows his sheep individually. Calls them; feeds them; leads them; protects defends them. A number of canal boats were tied up along the river front. "Why don't you go on?" said one of the party to the captain of the first boat. He replied, "We can't; there are only six pilots that know the cannel in this part of the stream and we must wait for one of them." Should we not. remem ber that there is only one Pilot that knows the channel of the stream of life? It is. better to anchor until his presence is as sured. "I know my own and my own know me." Bishop Thoburn was and never behind us. lie goes before in the bearing of tempta tion. He taught forgiveness, by fonriving first his enemies. Ho went before jq the, loss of all things. He bore the cross him self that he commands us to bear after him. Requiring us to hate even life for the Gos pel's sake, he went before us in dying for the Gospel. Then he went before us in bursting the grave, becoming the firstfruits of them them that slept." Bushnell. THE POET'S WORD. "Is he a door? I'll enter in; Behold the pastures large and green! A paradise divinely fair; None but the sheep have freedom!there." v Isaac Watts. Come, wandering sheep, oh, come! I'll bind thee to my breast; I'll bear thee to thy home, And lay thee down to rest. I saw thee stray forlorn. And heard thee faintly cry, And on the tree of scorn For thee I deigned to die. What greater proof could I Give, than to seek the tomb? Come, wandering sheep, oh, come!" Translated from the Spanish. . "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want, He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside still waters. He restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the paths of right-. eousness for his name's sake. Yea, tho I walk thro' the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me." Still in the Race. To the Democrats of North Car olina. It has come to me from a .num ber of sources that the report is being circulated that I have with drawn from the race for the Dem ocratic nomination for Commis sioner of Labor and Printing of North Carolina. I am at a loss to know how this report originated, I have never had the slightest in tention of withdrawing from the contest. The encouragement and support I have received from every part of the State seem -to assure my nomination for this of fice. I have received almost the unanimous endorsement of the North Carolina press, and letters offering the support of many of the most prominent Demo crats of the State. For these as surances I am deeply grateful, and if nominated and elected will give the duties of the office my very best attention. Respectfully, J. B. Sn ERRILL. Concord, N. C, March 21, 1908.

An armless man once walked in to a saloon and dropped a dime from his teeth en the counter and, called for a drink. The bar keep er placed a glass and some liquor before him. He was requested by the armless customer to pour out the grog, and when this was done he asked him to place it to his mouth and turn up the glass for him. This request opened the saloon keepers eyes. He went home and told his wife about it. In his dreams that night he saw the armless man and he was pour ing the liquor down his throat. The next morning he closed " his bar and changed his business. When you vote the wet ticket you are to all intents and purposes standing behind the bar and pour ing liquor down helpless men's thoats; men who would not drink but for your help. Wm. H. Anderson, M.
