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.

The experience ml former yean, aa to what constitutes real and succinct information and-'the means of pre senting it in it* most compact form have beenbrought to bear on this latest edition, and the effect is seen tn the increased amount of matter without noticeable increase in the rise of the book. In his letter of transmittal to the Governor, Commissioner Shipman says that while he believes the greater number pt mills Mid factor ies, required to be regulated bylaw, are honestly endeavoring to comply with the conditibhs prescribed, some may be merely obeying so much of the law as caution demands, thus placing the former class at a disad vantage. For the protection of chil dren mainly, and the law-adiding manufacturers as well, he recom mends the passage of a factory in spection law, for the purpose of seeing that the labor laws are being complied with by those who may not already be dying so. Also that sanitary conditiou and fire escapes are prbvided, rad that ordinarily safe appliance* are furnished. Furthermore, Mr. Shipman goes on record as endorsing a sixty-hour week for factory employees. The contents covers: Official State Regis ter for 1910; a chapter each on farms and farm labor, trades, labor organ izations, miscellaneous factories, cotton, woolen and silk anils, furni ture factories and newspapers, with an outline of the results of the investigations of the Department for the past tenjp^ars; with an ap pendix giving rife present labor laws of the State, a§b1 a classified and alphabetized fist of all the manu facturing conqirns on the list, whether these have made a report to the Department or not. The chapter on farms and farm labor shows an increase in average Ugh wages over last year of $1.00 per month. Cost of raising different products is given as follows: Cot ton, per 500-lb bale, $33.37; wheat, per bushel, 72 cents; corn, 52 cents; oats, 35 cents; tobacco, per 100-lbs,, $7.40. The chapter on trades show wages in the different lines of work, hours and general conditions of employ ment. There has been added to this a list of labor organizations in the State. The number of local organi zations in the State is given as 110. Only 47 of these, however, report. Membership of 47 locals, 1,730; average daily wages of members, $2,883. Chapter V, Miscellaneous Fac tories, shows the employment, by 561 establishments, of $50,835,399.00 actual capita], with an estimated plant value of $20,458,731; there are employed in these factories 34, 107 persons.

"The rapid increase in number of divorces during recent years—the shameless record made by the United States in this respect over other countries should—cause thinking men and women to become more concerned in formulating plans to combat the growing evil” says the Charlotte News. The Washington Herald, one of the soundest thinkers of the day, is of the opinion that the seed of reform must be sown about the fireside; that boys and girls must be taught to regard more highly the sanctity of the home, and of marriage. It’s comment on the subject is in teresting: “It has been established by the investigations of the department of commerce and labor that divorces in the United States are not only more numerous than in any other country, but that they are three times as numerous now as they were a gen eration ago. Nor do the statistics of divorce indicate anyway fairly the number of matrimonial ship wrecks, for there are many agreed separations of married couples which never figure in the courts. “A noted woman recently said, having secured a divorce, that most men are inconstant; that they have little interest in their homes, and that they are easily lured by men and women of loose habits of life. She was probably right, and if some man of equal prominence were to speak he could probably bring out just as veritable an indictment against the opposite sex. “But in the meantime the prob lem still stands. Why is it there are'so many divorces in American life? Apparently the problem is not to be solved by family, religious, or social considerations; nor, if we are to take the past legislation as a criterion, is it to be solved by the state. Wffen we consider that out of every thousand American men and women ten have been divorced and another ten separated by agreement, we must recognize the fact that something is wrong in our social order as regards matrimony. The trouble is, we believe, not in a dy ing away of the religious associa tions of the sacrament of marriage, but simply a recognition throughout this country that divorce being easy, marriage is much less a re sponsibility than it was in the days of our fathers. Young men and young women of today get married without consideration of the obliga tions each assumes: knowing that if the bonds so lightly undertaken prove irksome they may be easily dissolved. The remedy lies, we think, in a revision to first condi tions; to a realization of the fact that marriage means something in finitely deeper, stronger, and more ideal than mere selfishness; that it implies a duty to the state just as much as a duty toward God. In a great majority of cases we think parents are primarily responsible, in that they do not inculcate the sanctity of the marriage tie. The whole matter, we think, is one of education. When the young people are properly taught to understand what marriage really means and when, at the same time, our courts come to Bee that easy divorce is damnatory to good citizenship, the problem which now agitates sociolo gists will be a problem no longer.” CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. Hii Kind You Hin Ahrajs Bought Tta Deg ■iiihh OreSit far HI* Part, Tm. Judge George F. Morefield, late of Arcadia townshio, and an ordi narily veracious citizen, is asking his friends to give credence to the following story: He went hunting one day last week up in his native fastnesses and he slaughtered many rabbits. He told of two birds and a rabbit that he bagged in a most unusual manner. His dog set a covey in a patch of broom sedge and he was cautiously moving up on the birds, holding his trusty gun in the most approved fashion, muzzle to ward the ground and fingers on the triggers, when he happened to glance down and noted that his gun barrel was brushing the whiskers of a rabbit. Without raising the gun he "let drive’* and clipped the rabbit’s nose off. The covey of birds less than ten feet away obligingly waited for him to reload his gun and he got two on the rise.—Lex ington Dispatch. relay's Kidney Kenedy--As Appreeia tlaa. L.

Shalby Dipl Disappears With Swsst. Without a hat or wrap to protect her body from the chilling cold, Miss Mattie Rumfeldt left home last Friday and joined her lover, Luther Taylor, and together they started i»ut walking through the country to unknown parts and on an unknown mission, says a Shelby special to the Charlotte Observer. A week has elapsed and not a word has been heard from them. It is supposed that they were bound for South Carolina to get married, but just why they should leave in such a singular manner and not send a message to their anxious parents is not known. The father and mother of the girl are almost driven to distraction and every pos sible effort is being made to locate the couple. Police here and in South Carolina are in search and Mr. Rum feldt has a home here, which he ex pects to offer as a reward, if some thing is not heard in a few days. The couple had been sweethearts for several years and there was no ob jection to the match on the part of the girl’s parents. Miss Rumfeldt told her mother that she was going to the postoffice last Friday afternoon and asked her if there was anything she could get for her mother. She put on her best clothes but left without a hat or a wrap. Hours went by and she did not return, so a search was made. In the box at the postoffice she had left the key. Inquiry was made and a couple filling the description of her and young Taylor had been seen talking out the road to Cleve land Springs. Another clue show ing the direction in which they went was given by a farmer near Earl in the direction of South Carolina from Shelby. This is the last heard or seen of them. One report is that young Taylor was without funds, while another report is that he had $40 on his person. A mystery surrounds the whole affair and it is feared they have met with ill fortune. Yesterday Mr. Rumfeldt heard that a farm honse had been burned in the county south of here, so he went out and scratch ed through the ashes, thinking that they might have been burned in the building. Tuesday he went to Blacksburg and Gaffney, S. C., looking for in formation, but he returned heart broken and without a semblance of a clue as to their whereabouts. He notified the police at GalVnev and Blacksburg and they are working ..n the case in conjunction with the Shelby authorities. Miss Rumfeldt is rather good looking and about 18 year old. Her parents are respectable operatives in the Shelby cotton mill, where the girl and young Taylor were seen to gether quite often.

Miller-White Co. Fight In Wilkas County Wall. The Wilkesboro Patriot prints the following in its last issue: “Leave ’em alone, and let ’em scrap it out!” did not have to be said to a couple of combatants, who engaged themselves in a few ronnds here Monday. The pugilists in question were John Minston and Nelson Foster, and the fight took place in the bottom of a 60-foot well. They were both down in a well at Hotel Smithy putting in a new wall, when they fell out—not out of the well, but with each other. There were only two spectators, and neither of these felt inclined to go down and act as pacificator. One of the on-lookers, however, whose veracity please understand, is not to be questioned, says that the fight only stopped when he tied a pair of pot hooks to the well rope and fish ed Nelson out. He further avers that as Nelson was making the as cent John grabbed him by the heel, pulling off his shoe, which he hurled after his wriggling adversary. Nel son, in turn, bid John adieu with a quid of well-chewed “Brown’s Mule.” t—h lap the Bn Hive On’ the package wheu you buv Foley’s Honey and Tar for coughs and colds.
