St Valentine’s Day will be eele* bratod by Celestiala the world over, tWa year. the pattingiwitfc theifc queues, The' Imperial order has been received and F^bruftry It kaa bean aat for the day when Celestiala will make the worid-w{de call on the thSvee-ebanree. After wearing a braid for about 260 years John Chinaman has come to the eonetuahm that it iaa nui snnse and a—it would hardly do to any “a relic of a barbarous age.” China has awakened to the fact that" Its SdvabOrmenCS ha* been retarded hr the war ft wears fto hair, and the whole etaydi* is going to have a haircut n/T matter' has been agitated for sometime by leading Chinese, among them Wu Ting-fang, former minister to the' United States. ■ Wu Ting-fang has cabled thus: “His excellency, Wu Ting-fang, having given the matter deep con sideration, has coma to the con Sadoa that the most auspicious time for the removal of the queue gill be the 16th of the first month ‘of the third year Of hit imperial highness, Sues Rfcngi: Onthtt day, therefore, he will order the barber to cut off his queue.” The date in the Chinese calendar corresponds with tha 14thof Feb ruary fn theGregorian calendar, the Chinese new year falling oh January 80. Frank Hoy, mayor of Chicago Chinatown, tatkiag to the Uhicago Tribune, says, “its a sensible idea." “I bad my queue cut off several years-ago and I don’t know that I ever felt the loss of it. It is no good anyway, and it makes lots jaf work for the wearer. It has- gel to be braided every day and washed once or twice a week and that’s no small job.” Do yon know that the Chinese did not always wear a queue? This fashion of wearing the hair was in* traduced by the Mantchoo dynasty about 250 years ago. The Mantchoo rians, or Mongolians, as they are called, had more hair than they knew what to do with. In some way they seized the reins, of gov ernment and the first thing they did was to issue an imperial order that every Chinaman must wear a queue. Before that the Chinese wore their hair like the Japeneee and Koreans. If a Chinese refused to wear a queue his head was chopped off. He was compelled to adopt the Mantchoorian style of wearing the hair.’ “It is a common belief among Americans that the reason a China man doesn’t cut off his queue is that he |thinks he cannot enter heaven without it. That’s only a story. Chinamen, the world over, will wel come the decree to cu$ off their queues. In Chicago theft is a Chi nese population of abont 2,000, of which one-fourth have no queues. The other three-fourths, with few exceptions, will climb in the barber chair on February 14, and say' ’Give me a haircut.’ “A dealer in hair goods called on me the other day regarding the cut ting off of their queues. He want ed to know if he eould purchase all the queues that will come off in Chicago. Some of my countrymen have long, glossy black braids that ought to be worth-,- ISO. These braids will last a women a life time.” - - In Durham Friday a policeman* getting a whiff of corn, leaped into the dray wagon of J.R.Watson and found 18 gallons of boose/ Watson claimed be wns hauling it for the cfrayage; claimed at first that it was '‘tomato wine" and “apple rider;” and offered the officer TO to jump down off his wagon and'forget it.

Arm The Enterprise has received a let ter'from Mr. S. E. McNeely, who is now at Phoenix, Arizona, where he has a position in Phoenix Nation al Bank. He left only a few weeks ago for the far West, on account of his wife's health, and hfar many friends here will be glad to find that I he is well pleased with his new home. The letter is fall of interest- j ing points about the trip out West. Editor Enterprise; Having promised many of my friends to write them something concerning my long trip from North | Carolina to Phoenix, Arizona, I beg space in your paper sufficient to tell them just a little about our journey, especially the latter part. From Spartanburg to New Orleans was one panorama of cotton, sugar cane and rice plantations. Leaving pro gressive Atlanta and historical Montgomery, we found New Or leans a grand old city. Montgom ery presents in full view from the station an electric sign of welcome in the shape of a key with the col ors changing every second. THtroughont Louisiana we found no observance of the Sabbath. Peo ple plowing, cutting and hauling sugar cane, working in the sugar refineries and fceeping their stores open on Sunday afternoon. Prairie lands surround San An tonia, a magnificent city. The green grass and flowers gave much enjoy ment to one who had just left the cold mountain slopes of Western North Carolina, Another twelve hours ride put us in the desert. El Paso was very interesting amidst the sand dunes and with the impress upon it of the Mexican life due to its proximity to old Mexico. A gentleman boarded our train who had been visiting in one of the Mex ican cities three hundred miles over the border where fighting was going on. He spoke of having: witnessed a battle the day before and also stated that the Americans were not molested nor did they take part in the insurrection, except as spectators to the battles as we would witness a game of ball. The Rio Grande, we found a shal low stream twelve feet wide owing to the fact there has been no rain for practically two years. We saw nothing from El Paso to Phoenix that resembled an Eastern city, ex cept the new concrete station at Tucson. Just mountains of sand and cliffs of barren rock, no trees, no grass, nothing but mesquit and sage bush, sometimes not even that, occasionally the tent of a range man pitched near the railroad watering tank were all that were visible. The few little towns looked withered and dried up as they lay several hundred feet from the traCk. Their few in habitants showed the swartbey skin and the straight black hair of the Mexicans and wore the char-, acteristic tall hats. The cold and the sand storm at | Dewing made us very glad that we had already decided not to stop there. The comparison of Arizona with New Mexico goes to show what I irrigation can do. From the time that we passed the sign board on : the desert, marking the state’s di vision line the land became less and less a desert till at last came Phoenix and its surrounding country—a veritable oasis covered with fruit groves, flowers, alfalfa fields and cattle by the thousands. ' Ditches full of-water from the Gila river are found every few feet. Once here one can easily understand why the foot of the weary traveler crossing the desert has found and still finds a permanent voting place here. Phoenix with its 20,000 inhabitants is quite a little city. Some of its buildings are: the School of Music, The Flemming building, the City Hall, the Carnegie puhlic library, the United States Indian school, the Marieopia court house, the four banking houses and the state capi tal. Yucca palms and giant cacti we find bordering the streets, in terspersed with the maple Mid elm transplanted from the East. Jot bow the day* are balmy like tboee of May la the eaat with cool nights and warm days. I say to one aad all come to Phoenix to spend the winter. Give away your um | bsellas and over ahoee before you leave. i. % - S. B. MCNult. ieww >
