Concord has at last gotten a firm aplp on the idea that in order to get - new passenger depot she must do more than simply bring the matter to the attention of the railroad au thorities. At a meeting of the Citi zens Club last Thursday night the transportation committee was au thorized to take the matter up with the Corporation Commission and push it. The resolutions adopted re fer to Concord as "an afflicted com munity" because of the inadequacy of the passenger depot. If Concord needs a new depot, how about Gas tonia? When will our Commercial "Club get the same idea; how long? By Frost Torrence & Company Prophylactic Tooth and Hair Brushes. TOOTHPASTES Zymole-Zodenta-Euthymol Pasturine-Dentacura-Cuticlay.

DIPLOMACY. A Vague Threat That Meant Nothing, . but Brought Quick Results. The late Lord Salisbury auuie yean ago sent a foreign office eiulMtary to make sum demands of a South Amet- lean republic. Before setting out on bta mission lb uilasary, to whom bis lordship bud explained the exact na ture of the demand, desire to bo In formed as to the course to lake It after be bad aald everything, there was a refusal. "On." answered Lord Salisbury, "this Is not a waiter In wblcb we have tbe leust thought of tabling: lf tbe pres ident refuse, wby. you will simply have to com borne again." The emissary weut and bad bis aay to tbe president of tbe republic, wbo blankly refused to give In. and the diplomat retired to think things over. A fe- hours later be wrote to tbe pres ident: "I regret tbat your excellency does not see your way to recognize tbe Just ness of tbe claims wblcb I have bad tbe honor to present I have now to say. on behalf of ber Britaunic majes ty's government, tbat unless your ex cellency yields oo all points wblcb 1 have named It will be my painful duty to act on tbe secoud balf of my In structions."

RAY 6urely the "morally stunted" have fallen on evil days in our sister city cf Charlotte. According to the pro visions of a new law, effective the Urst of January, they are compelled to have their booze come addressed to them in their own sho' nuff names and the package Is labeled 'whiskey" instead of glass as here tofore. In this respect they are no worse off than their brothers in all other towns .in the State but, alas, Recorder Smith put more gravels in the road last week when he in structed the chief of police to let no man come Into his court under an assumed name. If "Mr. Prominent Citizen" falls by the wayside he must wear his own name when he appears before the recorder for trial. Eurely, the road of the booze artist te a hard one in Charlotte. Considerable interest is manifest d by the reading public in the Bal-linger-Pinchot investigation now in progress in Washington. So far the orlncioal witness has been L. R. Glavis, a former attache of the for estry bureau of the Department of the Interior, who lost his official head along with Pinchot and several others. Glavis told of numbers or interviews he had with Secretary Rallineer and his testimony as a whole is pretty strong against that official. The investigation will be resumed Friday and will probably consume several weeks yet as there are numDers or witnesses yex to oe heard. As. this 'investigation has to do with a very important subject in volving as it does the saving to the oeoDle of valuable public lands rich in forests, water powers and miner als, it is to be hoped that the inves tigation will prove to be a genuine one ana tnat tne wnoie irutn win come out.

Caldwell's Oldest Citizen Died Last Week, Lacking Only Four Months of Being a Century Old. Lenoir Topic. The death of 'Mr. Gilliam Coffey has removed from Caldwell county our oldest citizen and a most re markable character. It is a matter of interest to note that Mr. Coffey was born during the administration of James Madison, fourth President of the United States, was old enough to vote for Andrew Jackson, seventh President, and was more than fifty years of age at the beginning of the Civil War. And in his exceptional longevity, the young men of this nervous, restless age, might learn a valuable lesson. He was never dis sipated and never subjected himself to any unnecessary exposure. He did not drink, was regular in all his habits and always took the world as it came without worrying. He was always busy, but never overworked, nor engaged in anything to excess. He read books and papers and could converse Intelligently on subjects of general interest. If the young peo ple of this age could adjust them selves to this plan of living, we might have Teason to hope for many centenarians within the next hun dred years. HAUNTED ALASKAN ISLAND.

The Noise Habit. A personal experience first showed the writer tbe possibility of a state of affairs where tbe babit of noise could become as fixed as tbe habit of a drug Waklnir one nlcnt In tbe aniet of a country bouse far from other habita tions.

Tbe next night the sound was repeated. On mentioning tbe matter to my host be confessed that be could not sleep In tbe quiet of tbe country: that tbe sud den change from tbe roar of a great city to the silence of the woods was so great as to cause blm real suffering. As his only way to rest be would leave tbe house In the middle of the night, start up tbe pump and. lying down in a nearby hammock, find sleep brought him by tbe lullaby of tbe bot air en gine.

A Mr. Hudson, wbo bad made a large fortune as a dentist, had built a very expensive country bouse near Dublin, but of such ao extraordinary construction as to bid defiance to tbe criticism of the architect One day after dinner at Curran's this singular mansion became a subject of merriment for bis guests. Tbe question for their satirical inquiry was. "What was its order of architecture?" Oue said it certainly was Grecian, another contended it was Saxon and a third that It was oriental, when their boat thus interposed: "Excuse me, gentlemen, you are all wrong, it is Tusk-un. From the Ir regularities of tbe mansion and from Its proprietor being a dentist the frisb call it Suaggletootb Hall." London Answers. Every tax payer who has not yet paid his taxes is urged to settle at Even if some people could be made to understand that every cloud has a silver lining they would kick' because it wasn't gold. Not Worth a Rush. "Not worth a rush" is. as a popular saying, tbe predecessor of the now more commou simile "not wortb a straw." In precarpet days it was the custom to strew the floors of dwelling bouses. When guests of rank wefe en tertained fresh rushes were spread for tberu. tut folk of lower degree had to be content with rushes that had al ready been used, while still humbler persons bad none, as not even being "wortb a rush."
