DAVENPORT The entire newspaper fraternity of the State mourns because of the death of Editor John M. Julian, of The Salisbury Evening Post, an ac count of whose passing appears In another column. Only thlrty-slx years old, he was at the very thresh old, as It were, of life. He had ac complished much but his life gave promise of larger things In the fu ture. A man of Indomitable will and a spirit which refuses to give up, lie labored at his desk until disease, by sheer force of its overpowering strength, forced him to his bed. It was only two weeks till the end. As Showing the dominant keynote of his life, the following poem of Van Dyke's, beautiful and optimistic In its every breath, waa constantly be fore him, be having pasted It above bis desk in the office where he la bored daily and constantly for the betterment and uplift of mankind: Let me but live my life Irom year to year. With forward face and unreluctant soul, Not hastening to nor turning from the goal. Not mourning for the things that disappear In the dim past nor holding back in fear KVnni I h future veils, but with a whole And happy heart, that pays its toll Tn Youth and Axe. and travels on with cheer. So let the way wind up the bill or down. Through rough or smooth the Jour ney will be Joy; Still seeking what I sought for when a boy New friendship, high adventure, and a crown I shall grow old, but never lose life's zest, Because the road's last turn will be the belt. The Gazette's short editorial In Friday's issue anent the near-beer saloons has brought forth considers ble comment, mostly in the nature of unfavorable criticisms of these es tablishments. One of the pastors of the town. In the course of his ser mon Sunday morning, took occasion to refer to the existence of this evil and stated that the time had come when the people of Gastonia, espec ially the churches, must fight the near beer business. They are, he said, lawless in their nature, not withstanding the fact that they ex ist by sufferance of the law. In many places in the State these sa loons have been put out of business because it was found that they were not confining their sales to near-beer. Whether such is the case in Gasto nia we are not prepared to say, though there are rumors to the ef fect that such is the case. In Justice I to the town it should be stated that these saloons are all outside the city limits and are hence not subject to the local police regulations. INNS OF CHINA.

It alighted on tbe roof of one clubhouse, bounded to tbe roof of the other and rolled halfway back to the second baseman. And yet Chicago won the game 8 to 6. Doubling Har Capacity. "I want a nurse girl who la capable of taking care of twins," said a woman to the manager of an employment agency. A dozen maids ranged against the wall were questioned as to tbeir fa miliarity with twins.
