THE RURAL MAIL CARRIER Soraelhlnr of tbe Dlfnlty ml Wortb of His Work. (Atlanta tieorfriau.) One of the jrreat factors in the advancement of this country is the rural mail carrier. He has placed the isolated country home in daily touch with the bir world, knd maile less loncb life on the farm. He has many rood and deserved things said of him arJ hu work, but none has expressed it more clearly or brilliantly than Mrs. El len Dortch Ixnrstreet of Gaines ville, Us., at the recent convention of rural mail carriers of the ninth congressional district: "The work of the rural carrier of this country in bettering the farmer's condition is one of trans cendent importance. Hy the result of his service the fanner becomes a wiser, happier, and more patri otic citizen, and the Government thereby jmins in strength. "You carriers . . j should be inspired to more efficient effort by the knowledge that your work brings 3ou in close touch with your Government, and into it you may put 3our strength of citizen ship and your pride of country. The obligation is strong upon you to keep the service clean and above reproach. In taking up your great work as rural carriers, when jou subscribed your names to the oath of allegiance to support the Con stitution of your country and do fend its principles, there was com milted to your keeping the noblest heritage ever vouchsafed to free men. The honor of Old Glory be came 3ours to uphold Old Glory, token of human liberties wherever it waves on land or see may God keep it forever in the skies! You carriers have much to be proud of. Proud that you are Americans and live in the happiest age of the world. Proud that 3ou are en gaged in the rural service in its present high state of development. Proud that it has been your privi lege to serve under the very great est administration, in many re spects, that has marked the pro gressive course of this nation. Proud that you are in the service while the old Hag has been placed higher in the heavens, symbol of peace and progress, by our bold, aggressive Yankee President, son of a Georgia woman, growing to the full stature of unafraid man hood on the broad plains of the West, and belongiug more truly to the whole country than any Presi dent who has gone before hiro. Proud that you are in the service while the prince of 'square deal ers' has placed the old flag higher in the heavens, pledge that the pa triot's dream of liberty shall live, its white stripe breathing right eousness, its red stripe breathing tbe brotherhood of man, and every star in the blue of. its ground speaking the peace, prosperity and happiness of the greatest nation the sun has risen on since God said. 'Let there be light our re public, glorious, triumphant, un conquerable may God save it in strength and splendor." This is a splendid tribute to a splendid body of men, and one that will receive the hearty en dorsement of every man, woman and child who is warmed and cheered by the daily visits of the rural mail carrier. nnmtL-in rv nile will not be nec- eary if yon nae Man Zan Pile Retntdr Pnt up ready to oae. uouiBwe Price 50c.

(Extras from AA.lroca He TV ViniA of First Presbyterian Church, Charlotte) What is the moral nature. is the divine thought within us. We know what we ought to do and what we ought not to do. We have certain moral instincts and intuitions which infallibly guide toward the right if we will follow them. In a word we have moral vision, by which we discern riffht from wrong, good from evil; and as we follow that vision duty be comes clear to us; as we disobey it, the means by which we recog nize duty fail us, and life falls into moral ruin. I say to you, then, obey the moral instincts of your soul; keep the ideal of duty ever before you the vision seen in the pure days of youth, felt to be snt.hnriti 7A in thn hmMacI stress of passion, and out of the iiarlrnA chn I ric urn-oof nht . . and in the soul shall be spread the secret balm of an infinite divine low inclination rather than dutv. thJj and will almost persuade whatever the heart wills is right and what the conscience com mands is wrong1. You will find it so easy to go with the crowd, and so difficult to turn about and face it. You will feel as the strong swimmer feels when spent and faint, that you can resist the cur rent no longer, that it would be i . . almost heaven to he and drift, to lift the numbed and nehinn- limbs no more. Knt wor to him whn yields, for it mns death Tn vield tn ho fn lA tn thf mnrol irlol hnh 0inn ;e fitti tn I " " "ai w eui - ern us. When we do this we in - evitablv find the nower of moral discrimination is blunted in us. and the vision which draws us into a pure world of thought and feeling withdraws itself. Too late we discern that wecannot live on the husks of swine without becoming kin of the swine; and in the degradation that follows that lack of vision, the cry that was wrung from the dying Paracelsus, ung from our hearts: Love, hope, fear, these make humanity; These are Bigna and note and character; And the8e 1 have lo8t " The dream of pure and noble love is a dream which dwells, or ought to dwell in the heart of all pure and chivalrous youth. And I say to you, cherish it, for there wonders whether such a thing as pure, chivalrous love exists at all today, whether it ever moved in heavenly radiance across the world. Yes, it is in the world still, but it can only be found by the pure in heart There have been those who have grown old and yet have never ceased to see this vision of perfect love, nor to know that it is the greatest and best thing in the world. It has kept its radiance to the last, and its freshness has not faded, nor its fine gold become dim. Read such a fe as Charles Kinsley; measure the tenderness and depth of that chivalrous passion which controll- ed and shaped it, the pathos of the most touching epitaph which is engraved on the stone beneath which both husband and wife lie in Eversley churchyard, England Amavimus, Amamus, Aminatur and you will see what is meant by the ideal of love governing a man's whole life, and fashioning it to a mold of perfect chivalry. I say to you then, do not listen to the tainted talk of those who have darkened their souls by con- tempt of the light. Keep your- selves reverent of love, and for you the world will still contain a really to believe in humanity. A French thinker has said that there are two ways of living in the world that is full of sorrow and tragic things: Your heart must either break or turn to brass." xhe heart of the cynic turns to brass. He sees all the clay but never the gold of human nature. To him virture is an affectation, irUritv the merest accident, gen . . 1 a erous ideals of love a folly and a self-deception. To him no states man is honest, no philanthropist unselfish, no prophet that is not mercenary at heart. I say to you, look above all things to keep un- j- mArl thk trictnn which dlSf.emS , . . , f .nmnn:tl,. Have fyMU VsOV OIUV wav Ma w faith rn men and women, in their unward tendencies, in the devel opment of the God-like in them, for this is the vision of love; and when we have no faith in one an other, the dissolution of society has begun, and anarchy is knock ing at the gate. To lose faith in humanity is also to lose faith in God. Oh, cherish these visions; faint though they be, they are real, and .1 -II follow . them. The vision of God is the highest of all visions. And be who lives in its light cannot help fashioning his life into a no ble and beautiful thing.

Home's Followers to Take Rations and Set Up With Convention. (News and Observer) "The only two counties in North Carolina in which Mr. Kitchin and Mr. Craig had a joint debate were Anson and Meckleburg," said Mr. Walter Clark. Jr.. as he read a telegram from Mr. D. H. Smith, the Home manager for Mecklenburg county, which said: "Home leads in Mecklenburg. Hard fight. More news later." "Judging by the fact that Mr. Home led in Anson and Mecklen- burg (the only two counties that heard the other candidats in joint debate) it would seem to indicate that wherever Craig and Kitchin spoke together they made votes for Mr. Home. If they had spoken in every county in the State, Home would now have enough votes to nominate him on the first ballot. "These two primaries in Anson and Mecklenbuag, show that the tide is towards Mr. Home and I dQ not hesitate to make the pre- diction that he will be nomina- ted for Governor at Charlotte next week. The Home delegates have adopted as their motto: "God Almighty hates a quitter," and they are going to carry their rations to Charlotte so they can stav there as loner as their candi- jate fought on persimmon diet in thc sixties" New Cause for Divorce. (Charlotte Observer.) "A Trenton, N. J., man,' ob serves The Augusta Herald, "ask ed for a divorce on the ground that he was crazy when he mar ried. If the courts go to issuing divorces on that ground, the grist of the divorce mill would be tre mendously increased." And if, going a few lengths further, courts should issue divorces on the ground that the applicant was a fool when he or she married the other person the output would be far greater still. No Need of Suffering from Rheuma tism. It is a mistake to allow anyone to suffer from rheumatism, as the pain can always be relieved, and in most cases a cure affected by applying Chamber lains liniment. The relief from pain which it affords is alone wortn many times its cost. It makes sleep and rest possible. Even in cases of long stand ing this liniment should be used on ac count of the relief it affords. Do not be discouraged until you have given it a trial. For sale by T. B.

Go on errands of love. No man can walk in love toward his fellowman unless he be a total abstainer. Walk in Light Vs. 6-14. We are to live as 'children of light." We are not to be deceived by those who condone the sin men tioned. Impurity, covetousness, and foul speech will keep out of the Kingdom of Heaven. We are warned against these and exhorted to look to fruitfulness. The di vine light shining upon the Chris tian should produce fruit. Dark ness produces no such fruit. Light has a testing function. It makes known what is pleasing to Jesus Christ. The true light reveals the divine standards and ideals. Moral light also lays bare that which is evil, exposing in all its nakedness the unspeakable things that moral darkness had obscured. Publicity is the best cure of many evils. The children of light are to transfigure the world. Walk in Wisdom. Vs. 15-21. Wisdom requires us to walk, giv ing thoughtful attention to the tendency of our own lives and to use for the benefit of mankind the truth and energy and the author ity that God has given us.

We can only succeed by seeking to know the will of the Lord and by sub mitting ourselves to the divine guidance. The foolish will fail. The wise will succeed.

Redfearn was summoned to the col ored settlements on the Concord road to arrest a negro who was drunk and disorderly there. The Officer found his man, Will Lee, near the store of Hammond & Ben nett, colored, and arrested him without the least trouble. The negro had a grip with him and came along with the officer until he- was near Mr. J. J. Little's stables when he broke away and ran off. The Officer chased him for several hundred yards when the negro crossed a fence and fell on his knees to open his grip, warning the officer at the same time that he proposed to shoot him with a 44. Thinking the ne gro meant business, the Officer fired at him twice, one ball taking effect in the leg above the knee where it inflicted a slight flesh, wound and the other under the right foot where it lodged. When the Officer approached him, Lee showed fight again and struck him on the arm and cursed furiously. It was with much difficulty that he was hauled to the guard house where he spent the night, Dr. Bennett having dressed his wounds. Wednesday he was allowed to give bond for $50 and was taken home by his father, who lives in the up per part of Ansonville township. Lee is a large burly negro and bus a bad reputation.
