Bpartauburg Spartan. l Once on a time a man was walk ing the street at night. He met a crowd of men and women,' coming from a public place. They spread Out uh wide as the sidewalk. They paid'no attention to the man but rushed against him and hunched him with their elbows. The man felt as if he had fallen amongst a very ill-bred, selfish, thoughtless crowd. He either had to take to the street or be indecently pushed and shoved by live or six people walking abreast. Of course the crowd from the public place did uot know any better. It was plan tation manners. Thev had never been, taught that they should oc cupy one-half the sidewalk and leave the other half to people walking in the other direction. This generation will never know any better. They are not teach able. Mnch ignorance of proprie ty and decent behaviour in public has made them blind. There was another man watch ing school children. They joined hands and took up the whole side walk. Thev are doing just like their parents. There was. 14-year-old white boy walking the street. He met negro children cominc lrom school. Ihev were taking up the whole sidewalk. This white boy begau to jostle and punch them out of the way. Such as that makes race collisions. When all parties get grown, it leads to the pistol. With all' our schools, colleges, preachers, church es, editors and reformers, is there no way to teach the people how to walk the streets and at the same time respect the rights and com fort of others. At the opera house and the larger churches several hundred people pour out at the same time If the sidewalk is wide enough ten of them walk abreast. A few per sons or one walking the other way have no chance against the mob. We call on preachers to get a little "Golden Rule" religion into their congregations. Teachers should endeavor to instruct the pnpils in good manners. Every man or wo man, white or black, old or young, should always move to the right side when meeting another. The only exception to be made is in favor of drunk men, the blind and idiots. The greatest patience and forbearance should fee exercised towards them. And some remarks should also be submitted to people who stop in the middle of a sidewalk to talk, so that passersby hftve trouble to get along. They are worse than the others. The Landmark. All people traveling whether in vehicles or afoot, when they meet others are expected- to turn to the right, if this were done there would be but little trouble pass ing. The Lenoir News. Hooks And Eyes That Won't Come Off. The New Idea Woman's Magazing. How many women know that cards of hooks and eyes can be bought that require neither thread nor needle. Such a card contain either black or white hooks in all sizes, one and a half dozen to the card, may be had for a few cents. They are made on the principle of the price tags attached to articles in the shops and can be fixed to anv Garment in a second so that they will never come off". Think of this for a time-saver!

It feeds rheumatism, nurses gout, welcomes epidemics, invites cholera, imports pestilence, and embraces consumption. It covers tho land with idleness, misery and crime. It fills your jails, supplies your alms-houses and demands your asylums. It engenders con troversies and riots. It crowds penitentiaries and furnishes victims to your scaffolds. It is the life- blood of the gambler, the element of the burglar, the prop of the highwayman and the support of the midnight incendiary. It countenances the liar, respects the thief, esteems the blasphemer. It violates obligations, reverences iraud and dishonors innocence. It defames benevolence, hates love, scorns virtneand slanders inocence. It excites the father to butcher his helpless offspring, helps the hus band to massacre his wife, and the child to grind the parricidal axe. It burns up men, cousumes women, detests life, curses God and despises heaven. It suborns witnesses, nurses perjury, denies the jury box and stains the judicial ermine It degrades the citizen and the statesman and disarms the patriot It brings, shame, not honor; ter ror, not safety; despair, not hope; misery, not happiness; and with the malevolence of a fiend, it calmly surveys its frightful desola tion, and unsatisfied with its havoc, it poisons felicity, kills peace, ruins morals, blights confidence, slays reputation and wipes out national honors, . then curses the world and laughs at its ruin. It does that and more It murders the soul. It is the son of villainies, the father of all crimes, the mother of abomi nations, the devil's best friend and God's worst enemy. The man that will betray an in nocent girl, no matter what his calling is, deserves all that a thousand hells could contain; but the slick -tongued, slimy, humun serpent who meanders up and down this earth nnder the garb of a minister of the gospel, and will betray a girl simply because she trusts and believes in his supposed sanctity, ought to be dipped a thousand times in double refined turpentine, and his black frock ignited with a brand from the eternal pit, and trotted up and down the hottest aisles of hell for tea thousand years after that re gion of despair had become as cold as the north end of the North Pole Exchange. The Man And his Job. By Herbert J. Hapgood. The more a man has to do, the better he does it. The limit of our capacity is really a matter of habit and will. If we are assigned an easy task requiring only half done. Hard work and great responsibility, however, constantly keep us on the quivive. When we have lots of work piled up ahead, and know that there is more to do when we have liiuished with the present assign ment, we have to keep our wits about us. and conseauentlp the i satisfacto the i rllyjj 14 Learn To Throw Away.

Several weeks ago a nine doglw longing to Mr. John Isenhour, of No 4 township, was bitten by dog supposed to be mad, and as consequence the animal was shut up in the stable to await develop ments. No attention was paid to the fact that the dog was in stable with a horse valued at 9150, Mr. Isenhour thinking of course he would notice whether the canine showed signs of rabies in time to rescue the horse, but to his sur prise and dismay this morning the dog was raging and had bitten the horse on the nose. The dog es caped from the stable and killed one chicken and bit two others in the barn lot. ills master secured a club and strnck at the dog, kill ing him with a single blow on the head.

In a Glasgow car was an ageofi Irishman, who held a pipe in his mouth.

"So Oi have me feet's in me boots," said Pat, "but I'm not walking." "Noah!" Henry answered, pro mptly. "Oh. no. Henry," the teacher said, you don't mean Noah; you mean Solomon, don't you!"
