Wuat we want most, sighs the Com

Let those who invent tho fashions

Perhaps at one time married life
■was one grand, sweet song, admits
the Philadelphia Record, but nowa
days it seems more like a talking ma
chine.

The Pharaoh who was supposed to

It is a waste of time, warns the
Philadelphia Ledger, to advise peo
ple whose mental construction impels
them to indulge in panics when there
is nothing to be scared about.
One of the significant incidents of
the rioting at Clning-Sha to the Chi

foreign drilled soldiers who were sta-.

If they are fair representatives of the
army which China has been endeav
oring to create it will be impossible
to place much dependence on that
army for any purpose. Soldiers who
have so little of the spirit of military
discipline' as to join the mob they
ought to quell could not be persuaded
to stand up against a Japanese on
slaught.
Because the clam has not been cul
tivated and coddled like tho oyster,
the natural clam beds hereabouts are
becoming gradually barren and
stripped, bewails the New York
World. Friday's favorite, the clam
chowder, may now be dearer than ot
yore. Little Necks on tho halfshell,
the prelude to a well-regulated feast |
at all Seasons, are liable to be raised
to the luxury class, like shrimps or
goose livers. And it will be a sad day
along the whole Atlantic coast when
the democratic clambake of our fore
fathers becomes an exclusive and cost

The prevailing note among all the
tributes Incident upon the centenary
of the birth of William Ewart Glad
stone Is recognition of the spirit of
Justice and sympathy for the op
pressed that filled the heart bf the
man, asserts the Boston Post. The
little nations of the narth—Greece,
the Balkan countries, Bulgaria, Ar
menia, Finland—have reverently hon
ored the event because ho was their
friend and not afraid to own it. Ire
land's debt to him is not small, for
he paved the way for that liberty
which is certain to be hers In the near
future. His magnificent intellect oth
ers have matched. Ills oratory- many
have excelled. His learning and cul
ture rivals could equal. His construc
tive ability sometimes fefl behind his
ambitions. What made him pro-enii
nent among the English statesmen of
his time was his great-hearted desire
to be of service to mankind—and the
nobility with which be pursued bis
course. Titles and emoluments he
scorned. Power, In order to be help
ful, he wished and attained. If tho
soul of a man knows what the World
is doing after he lia-i left it, Glad
stone may rejoice that ho is remem
bered as the friend of humanity ra
ther than a thrice premier of Eng aud.

were digging ditches, when they dis
covered the bones. In ordef to secure
the part of the skeleton in Jones
county (Mayesvrlle) it was necessary
to dig for ten feet and only a skull, a
set of teeth and the tusks were un
earthed.
At Jacksonville the skeleton was
discovered by a drummer, who report
ed it to the curator. Mr. Thomas Ad
dicks was immediately sent to inves
tigate and found that the skeleton
was buried in the bed of a strem.
With a great deal of difficulty a part
of it was unearthed. To accomplish
the task it became necessary to divert
the waters of the stream and to build
several dams, and even then there
was greaat dilliciilty, as the water rose
ropidlv, the location being very low.
It is supposed that mastodons were
onco common throughout the eoiuftry

Historial Drama Re-Enacted.
The epochal drama of 1710' wan re
• enacted at Newbern Monday in every
• detail, but there was parked con
i trust in the scenic setting.
A Itately De Graffenreid and a
doughty Lawson were Messrs. W. N.
' Pugh and W. O. Guthrie, fellow
members of the Woodmen of the
i World, impersonating the colonists,
while Mr. D. E. Henderson as Chief
Taylor and the local Red Men
made realistic "painted savages."
It was 10 o'clock p. m., when the
pageant was concluded and the cere
' monies were brought to an end by
a spectacular illuminated parade
through the principal streets by In
dians and colonists.
The week's program which will
make memorable the two hundredth
anniversary of Newbern's birth, was
really ushered in with the preliminary
exercises at the Moses Griffin audi
torium. Mayor C. J. McCarthy wel
comed the visitors within the city's
gates and Seuator Simmons' eloquent
tribute to the City of Kims, which he
declared "two hundred vean* young."
The Senator presented Hon. Han
nis Taylor, Newbern's most distin
guished win, who looms up strikingly
as the guest' of honor in the week's
festivities. Statesman, diplomat,
counsellor, former minister to Spain,
author of world-renowned text
books. authority on constitutional
and international law, Dr. Taylor,
born in Newbern and now head of
the Columbian I'niversity at Wash

ing two centuries.
Or. Julius I. Goebel, of the I'niver
sity of Illinois, also a guest of honor
this week, followed Dr. Taylor, mak
ing an historical address nad going
more into detail. He laid emphasis
upon the type of men composing the
.sturdy band of settlers, characterized
Karon "Von" Graffenreid. as h>' said
the leader was realty known, as a
great man. though improvideni. and
T.awson as a rascal.
Vociferous heralding ofi the week's
festivities came from the hcmiing
guns of the torpedo Dupon', tho
Klfrlda, manned bv North Carolina
naval reserves, and the revenue (lit
ter I'amlieo at anchor in the harbor.
Tuesday the industrial ami -social
- progress of New bern was given

The investigation of the charges
against Dr. J. U. Gordon and Dr. J.
K. Mrooks in connection with the
State tuberculosis sanatorium at
Mont Rose, which v. as ordered by
the Governor to be held last Friday,
has 'been postponed until August 2.
The investigation is the outcome of
charges made public a short time ago
by Dr. John Rov Williams of Greens
boro against Dr. J. R. Gordon of
Jamestown, chairman of the governing
board, and Hr. J. K. Brooks of Mont
Rose, superintendent of the sana
torium. Some say it is the regular
animal investigation ordered by the
board of internal improvements. Dr.
Williams charges mismanagement of
the institution.
Dr. IV A. Stanford, of High Point,
and Dr. C. A. Julian of Thoroasville
will probably be important witnesses
as they were the gentlemen who in
vestigated the institution about a
year ago at the instigation of the
State Hoard of Health and closed it.

The 12,000 acres of timber and
mineral lands lvng.along the C. C. &

A number of Charleston, S. C., in
vestors are in Lincolnton. inspecting

Mining company, in which consider
able Charleston capital is invested.
The proportion of concentrates or
black tin is considerably greater in
the mines of this North Carolina
comoany than of the big mines of
the world and it k said that only the
lack of capital has heretofore pre
vented the full and profitable develop
ment of the industry. With more
money, which is now being invested,
the promoters expect to have the
plant, already constructed, in full
operation.

Life in the Land of the Long
Leaf Pine
Bates to Bockingham Unsatisfactory.
That satisfactory through routes
and joint rates between Rockingham
and various points in South Caro
lina, not only do not exist, but are
.rcfased by the railroads, is tie bur-
of a complaint filed Thursday
with the interstate commerce com
mission. The complaint was institu
ted by the manufacturers' freight de
partment of Rockingham, represent
ing the cotton mills at that place
against the Seaboard Air Line Rail
way, and the Atlantic Coast Line
Railroad Co. It is alleged that the
rates charged by the carriers on cot-
Wn piece goods from Rockingham

reasonable and discriminatory. The
commission is requested to require
the railroads to establish through
rates and joint rates and schedules of
charges that arc lower than the pres

Yeggmen Leave $l5O in Church.
A mild sensation was created at
Catawba Tuesday. While several
ladies were cleaning and re
arranging the interior of the Meth
odist ehurch, they found a stack
of papers which decided to de
stroy. In removing it one of the la
dies saw a package that she was
prompted to investigate. An Atlan
ta Constitution ard Asheville Citi
zen, bearing date of October, 1907,
wore unrolled, in the folds of which
a large number of sheets of postage
stamps, of several denominations
(mostly 2c) were revealed. A count
was made, and $151.25 was the
amount.
How the stamps got into the
church is a pijzzle; but the supposi
tion is that some yeggman passed
that way and slept in the building,
accidentally leaving his booty or
purposely hiding it. It is recalled
that about 1907 robberies of coun
try stores and small - postoffices oc
curred' The find has been reported
to the department.

manent Chairman Smyth of the Demo

read the result of a test vote of th«
gathering practically taking from Mr.
Bryan the Democratic leadership of
Nebraska, which he has maintained
for 20 years.
The vote came on a motion made
by Congressman Q. M. Hitahcock, a
candidate for the senatorial nomina
tion, and in effect was to eliminate
the idea of platform planks, with
accompanying speeches, unless sub
mitted as a section of the majority
or minority report of the
on resolutions. v
Mr. Bryan, soated as a member of
the Lancaster county delegation, was
upon his feet at once witli, a >rotest I
and proffered an amendment that
would modify that intent of the
original motion. A dozen delegates
made as many motions and heated
«l>eecbes on the subject, the Bryan
adherents denouncing the Hitchcock
motion as "gag rule" and op
ponents assertinar that "individual
rule" must not prevail in the con
vention.
Chairman Smyth ordered a roll-call
on the amendment aiid the gathering
was silent as the vote of the coun
ties was called- that would determine
tiie strength of Mr. Bryan.
When two-thirds had been called
foes of Mr. Brvan realized that he
was defeated, and a wave of cheers
that drowned the roll-call began. As
Chairmiai Swyth finally read the re
sult, 46;> against the amendment to
304 in favor of it, the delegates
sounded a fresh volume of cheers
that seemed to indicate their relief
from the uncertainty that had existed
as to the strength which Mr. Bryan
might develop in the convention. The
original motion of Mr. 1 filch cock.
then was adopted.
