Backward, turn backward, O Time, in your flight. And make me a man again, just for to-night; Let roe shake oil these vile rags that I wear. Cleanse me from all this foal stain that I bear; O let me stand where I stood long ago, Free from these sorrows, unknown to this woe; Freed from a life that is cursing my soul. Unto death while the years of eternity roll. j. Backward, turn backward, O fast flowing stream, Woukl that nv life could prove only a dream! Let me forget the black sins of the past; Let me undo all my folly so vast; Let me live over the life that is gone; Bring back the dark, wasted years tliat are flown; Backward, turn backward, O Time in your flight, And make me a man again, just for to night. Back! Yes, turn backward, ye swift rolling years! Why does your memory bring forth these hot tears? Why comes this vision of life lost in sin? Why am I thinking of what might have been? Where is my home once so happy and bright; Where is that face whose own pres ence was light? Where are the children who climb ed pn my knee? Back, flowing tide! Bring them once more to me! Yet, the tide rushes on -this wild flight of the years, And the days only deepen my sor rows and fears. I call, but no answer conies back to me now, Naught but an echo as week as my vow. For ' neath the sad cypress trees, low in the sod, Lies the body whose soul has gone back to its God, And out of the silence no child voices come, As in days long ago iu my sweet, happy home. Backward ? Nay, Time rushes on ward and on; 'Tis a dream that comes back of the days that are gone; I yielded my strength when 1 could have been strong; I would fly, but alas! I had lin gered too long. The hell-hound had seized me— my will was not mine. Destruction was born in the spark ling of wine! So, in weakness, I totter through gloom to the grave, A sovereign in birth, but iu dving— A SLAVE! ROBERT E. GOODRICH. Training Schools for Cheats The conductor caine through col lecting tickets. A woman, dressed expensively and in good taste, of fered two tickets one for herself and cue for another woman, sitting in front of her. Each had a little girl with her, one about four the other about eight. The conductor looked suspiciously at the older girl several times, but said nothing and passed on. As he passed on, the child turned to her mother, who had given him the tickets, and exclaimed: "He didn't say anything about mine, did he? "Hush," answered the mother, lest the conductor should overhear. Some day the litt'e girl will lie ahd deceive her mother. That is what her mother is edu cating her to do Of course she has not deliberately decided to do this, but the result is a» sure as though she had conciously plan ned to make a cheat out of her child. This is only one species of theft. Whoever would steal in this way by not paying for a child over the free age, would steal in any other way. A public institution design ed to teach deception wonld soon be suppressed, hut some homes are engaged in just this business.— Fo- ward. * Stent AIM!

WILLIAMSTON, N. C., FRIDAY, JUNE 23. 1905. ONE CAUSE OF INSANITY. And a Remedy Recommended For its Cure. The spread of insanity in the United States is becoming so seri ous that specialists of the medical profession are giving it great at ten-, tion just now. The cause ? Dr. H. O. Moyer, of Chicago, as expert in mental diseases, has advanced this theory; "There is no doubt about the cause for the in crease in insanity. City life causes insanity. Poor food, poor homes, no sun, bad air, improper clothing, and worrying because they are be hind in rent drive people craiy." And the care ? "Live in the country," says Dr. Moyer. 'lt is coming to the city, grinding and pinching and failiug to make both ends mefet, that drive people crazy. The cure for iusau ity is, live out of doors aud laugh, even if you cannot put cash iu the bank." Ponder these words of the Chic ago scientist. Are you burning the caudle at both ends ? Are you breathing foul air and neglecting the sunlight ? Are you putting all your thoughts upon business and money-gettiug ? Are you disturbing nature by ir regularity of habits ? Are you spending iu reckless dis sipation or ceaseless dollar-hunting the hours that should be used for sleeping ? Are you starving your body iu order that you may stuff your purse? Are you wearing out your brain with worry ? Are you giving more heed to the exhausting demands of the golden calf than the exhilarating joys of uature ? Are you forcing yourself to carry on your shoulders more than your strength can stand ? 1 Are you compelling your wife and children to stay in pent-up rooms, to stagnate, or to fade ? Are you pinching and grindiug your employes, injuring them phy sically and weakening them with anaemia ? If se, you are helping to fill the insane asylums and augment the ranks of degenerates. You art doing your j>art to destroy the hu man race. Change your ways, you who are doing any of these things. Go out into the country. Fill your lungs with fresh air. Send your wives and children iuto the sunlight. Make yotir clerks and workmen go where it is greeu. When you feel like smiling, laugh. Banish worr> from your lexicon forever. Figures themselves show thai American people must do some thing to change the conditions As gathered and presented by Dr. Moyer, they establish the fact thai New York's ratio is one out of even three hundred and forty persons; Boston and New England have one iu every three hundred and twenty persons; Chicaco has one in every four hundred. Will you join in remedying the evil? The formula is simple: Live out of doors and laugh!— Louisville Courier-Journal. An Abuudant Answer. Three Philadelphians visited Richmond, Va., and, asking as to the use and purpose of this or that building, were told in every case that it was a tobacco factory. An aged negro gave them the informa tion; and they, tiring of the monot ony of the reply pointed to a white frame building on a bill and asked whose tobacco factory it was. The old fellow replied: "Dat, sah, am no fact-ry. Dat am S'n John's 'Piscopal Church, where Marse Patric Henry done got up an ax de Lord to gib him liberty or gib him deaf". "Well uncle," asked one of the trio, "which did the Lord give him? "'Pears to me yo' must indeed be straneers here-abouts," he answered; "else, it strikes nie yo'd know dat, in due time, de Lawd gabe Marse Henry bofe." | Sunset Cox's Toast. In responding to a toast in New York some years ago, Sunset Cox said: "I have no particular toast to speaki but in my emergency, I may select a subject fruitful to many a student, and especially as we are at the festive climax of our entertain ment. In looking around this au dience I feel like ienerAli/.ing and in a nebulous way, therefore, allow rap to select as a Bubject that of Smith (laughter.) We,have two representatives o* the family hete to-night. Both are near to me. And if you wi.l*-»nk in the New York Directory, jfbu will find 2,000 other names members of the same illustrious family.; As a politician, not unuse, 'on the occasion sudden to cultivating the graces, I will never titter a word against the Smith family, (laughter.) Why, in the early days ot Gre cian history, they were demigods and founders of states. The only place where they were not is recorded in Samuel —the chapter aud verse I will not recall for I am not certain alioiit them. Hut it will not hurt you to search lor the verse yourself from Gene sis to Revelation,(laughter.) The words are: There was no Smith in all Israel, (laughter.) When ever the children of Israel wanted to shai pen their or close up the rivets in their armor, they had to go down to Tyre or Sidou, aud call iu the Smiths of that local ity, (laughter.) The Smiths have progressed and multiplied; they are everywhere—including Canada. The Registrar-General of Great Bntian says that in Hug land and Wales there are three (juar ters of a million of Smiths. Oh, sir, it is a great family, (laughter.) In the early chronicles of Norse laud, it is said the Smiths were honored by being admitted to the royal presence. They drank mead with the king. I never saw a Smith iu my life that would refuse to take a drink,(roars of laughtei 111 which Pres. Smith and Prof. Goldwin Smith heartily joined.) It mattered not what kind of a liquor. But where the Smith fam ily predominated in any country, liberty also triumphed—commercial personal and public liberty. The age of iron was the age of the Smith aud the age of iron has always ruled, (cheen )—Ex. "Should Women Work?" Our contemporary, the London Chronicle, has been discussing the question, "Should Women Work?" is if women had not lieen doiug the world's hard work since crea ion. A few plays the role of idle butterflies, but the great majority of them toil unceasingly and with little reward. Among savages the .vomcn do all the work, their lords exerting themselves only in the chase and iu war. Progress—civi lization —has consisted largely in getting man to do something for a living. Even today man's work is only "from sun to sun. while woman's work is never done." She has 110 "eight-hour day." A twelve-hour day would be a boon to most wives who iu the care of the house and children are always "doiug overtime." There isnoth more pathetic than the sight—so often seen—of the hard-working conscientious mother who literally wears her life out in unhearalded toil, thankless and not expecting thanks. Iu many families, how ever, the work is badly distributed, to the injury of all concerned. The mother does too much, her daugh ters too little. While the former shortens her days in trying to let her children "have a good time," fad to realize the benefit for body and mind of being held to moderate work. Labor has a tonic effect. It is good for the muscles, the morals, and the minds. —Baltimore Sun. WANTED 10 men in each state to travel, tack signs and distribute samples aiijfeirculars of our goods. Salary $75.00 per month.

A few years ago we were saying that the Southerner was not and never could be a businessman. Ever since the Civil War the busi ness of the South has been carried on by Yaukees, Germans Jews auil scattering Scotch and English. The Jews, always alert in business, have been in the majority in the retail trade, aud with Germans and Yankees, have controlled the wholesale busine>, the financial institutions and the manufactories. By a fallacy which time is improv ing the failure of the native South erner to achieve business success was set down to inherent lack of capacity. His failure was really due to causes extrinsic and acci dental. At the close of the Civil War, only the few Jewish resideuts of the South had much money. The Southern soldier was not dis charged when sent home to con valesce from wounds and disease. Upon recovery he was again iu the ranks. He did not serve three mouths, nine months, two years. He served four years. The larger !>art of the men who fought in the Southern army carried lead and disease ever after It was this im poverished, discharged strickened, people that the outsider distanced in the race for money. Unused to commerce the Southerner not only saw the property represented by his slaves pass utterly away, and his lands ravaged and his houses burned, but he saw men alien to his region anticipate him in the dawning opportunities of a tardily returning prosperity. He became in onlooker iu the land his blood had watered. Others garnered as a result of his impoverishment. But not so now. For the young Southerner is forging to the front so fast that it now is more likely that he will crowd the strangers out than that they will seriously rival him. He has taken a leaf out of the book of his rivals, aud by the tactics which have been at least a great factor iu their success as any other in arriving at pros perity The Southern tandem wedge is lioring holes in the lines of the opposition. The young Southern men, often mere boys of twenty-one and twenty-two years, are running the banks, the stores, the hotels. They are exploiting great tracts of land, feeding vast forests into saw mills. Tliev are the railroad men, the promoters, the brokers. Oil wells gush at their behest, towus rise at their command. By men uuder thirty the greater part of the business of the South is being done. The Northerner who thinks of emi • grating to the South because he believes he can surpass the native in business capacity, will find foe men worthy of his steel—keen, un tiring and full of the nerve and enthusiasm of youth The South is the new part, the young part of our domain. The West has become staid and middle aged. The young man has come to the front in the South, and with him the South comes into its own once more.— Leslie's Weekly. Stewards Get Rich. The office of steward on board such a steamer as the Oceanic is worth SIO,OOO a year to a good man. Tipping is a business 011 shipboard. Just think: Five huudred cabin pasengers at $y each the least possible sum t« bestow in fees or tips nlakess3soo given away on every run across That sum is distributed among about twelve at tendants. Some passengers, like Morgan will give several huudred to their pets among the stewards. Others restrict themselves to the customary fees, which do not av erage over $1.25 a day. People who cross the ocean first have money to spend, and they spend it. Some men who travel by rail give the sleeping car porter twenty five cents after riding with him three or four days. Such tip ping ou board the Oceanic would ruin a man's reputation.—New York Press. A Seated Age. The Chicago City Railway Com pany has had some twinges of con science and has ordered seats for its mortormen. This leads a daily paper to moralize 011 it. We are all seated now. "The farmer no longer plods his weary way: he sits on the harrow and gets his exercise shaking the lines over the horses. He used to have to go to town for his mail; now he gets his letter by rural free mail delivery. When he wants to find out what Cousin John is doing, he telephones. "Most iqen used to walk to work and walk back home for lunch; now they live in apartment build ings that nestle coyly up against the elevated r ailroad. They would rathei listen to metallic thunder than get out on their feet and do what the French call 'burning the pavement.'" So, too, the workman in the shop works at a single bench or machine. Who walks now ? The consequence is: Not taking that finest exercise, walking, we are resorting to gymnastics, calis thenics, cold baths, punching bags, and dumb-bells to make good and build up our health. All these substitutes for walking are good. They are easily overdone. But the wav of the fathers, the way of "the open," when the spring flowers shoot forth their sprouts or the autumn winds shake the last leaf from the proud trees —the way of"theopeu" is better. —Central Advocate.

"Sold by All Dealers." A Reuben's Experience. New York, June 16. —Filled with woe and pondering ou the wicked ness of New York, Charles M. Bowers, 50 years old, and a typical farmer from Hickory, N. C., is impatiently awaiting a response to a telegram, telling of his mis fortunes and requesting money to enable him to pay his hotel hill and quit the place that has been his complete undoing. Attracted by the alluring offers of some alleged real estate men, to whom he had previously sent SSO, as a deposit to guarantee a pur chase he was about to make, Mr. Bowers arrived here only to dis cover that the land he was to buy did not exist, and that he was out the SSO. He told his troubles to Assistant District Attorney Chail wick to-day. Sitting on the steps of the crimi nal courts building, he took out his pocketbook and counted over his money. There was exactly $450, eight fifties and five tens. Return ing them to the purse he laid it be side him on the steps and began figuring oil the back of an envelope. So engrossed was he upon the wanlon extravagance of the met ropolis that he forgot all about his pocketbook and, concluding his reckoning, went back to Smith & McNeil's hotel. There he dis covered his loss. At once he hur ried back to the criminal courts buildiitg and was'sorely disappoint ed to find it gone. "It's a terrible city," he said to the sergeant of police at the Eliza beth street station later; "full of thieves, and I want to git out and never see it agin."—Raleigh Post t All old time cough syrups were designed to treat throat, lung and bronchial affections without due re gard for the stomach and bowels, hence most of them produce con stipation.
