THEY HAVE FREEDOfl.
" While we think that the Russian
masses are ignorant and badly treat
ed, and are naturally in sympathy
with them, it really appears that
they have more freedom or liberty
than is generally supposed. At any
rate, they find time and opportunity
to kill Jews day after day and week
after week. Heretofore the govern
ment has been able to put down most
of the uprisings, except -when some
Jews were to be killed.
In financing the recent war the
Jews in this country, England and
elsewhere made it hard for Russia
because of the harsh treatment of
her Jewish population. Unless we
are mistaken, Russia has not yet felt
all the blows. The Jews are not re
vengeful, but they are human, they
stand by each other, and they are
powerful.
And Governor Glenn is going to
be Governor, or is starting out that
way. At any rate, that is commend
able. : . v;vv , 7 ;:'..-;',' .
The most recent census shows that
there are 18,000 deserted wives in
Chicairo. They ought to tell the
number of deserted husbands while
they are at it.
A witness in the Nick Williams
case at Greensboro was kept on the
stand a week. Tie must have known
more than most witnesses in such
eases.
We often read about how hard
s.ome Cabinet member or other Wash

The accused bank officials at Fay
etteville came through like a flash.
It is said that they made things sat
isfactory to the bank and to the bond
ing company, hence the prosecution
was stopped.
The armored cruiser North Caro
lina, known as 'tin' queen of the
navy," because she is almost as pow
erful as the best battleships and much
faster, will be completed in about
twelve months.
THE LOWRY COTTON PICKER.
The Lowry cotton picking machine.
exhibited at the State Fair, and since
exhibited in various cotton fields
throughout the State, does not seem
to give satisfaction. Yet it picks
cotton, does some fairly good work.
But it is too slow, too cumbersome, it
requires too .'many hands to operate
it.
The parts of the machine that
takes the cotton from the boll must
be held in the right position by hand.
We believe that the five men neces
sary to operate the machine can. pick
more cotton and do it better.
In some respects it reminds us of
the machine invented by an Irishman
to kill bedbug's. It consisted of two
blocks of wood, fastened together at
one end by a strip of leather. All
you had to do was to catch the bug,
place him between the blocks and ex
ert a gentle pressure, and death re
sulted.
Feather Novelties.
The fur stole has a decided rival
this year. It is the neck piece of
marabou. The feather boa and muff
is among the most favored of the
fashionable girl's accessories. And
never have these novelties been love
lier than they are right now. Clipped
marabou is being used extensively,
and it is not half as perishable as
one would think. A boa in shaded
gray feathers with a big, soft, flat
muff to match it gives a very smart
finishing touch to a gray costume.
A very new shape for these feath
er neck pieces is a deep shawl collar
with stole ends. The marabou is of
ten arranged so that it forms stripes.
For evening wear the fluffy, downy
marabou, frequently combined with
flecks of curly ostrich, is a boa ot
fashion. These soft, becoming boas
come in such shades as peach, pastel
blue, pearl gray, deep cream and
T; filr .rvf.en . Thev are charming to
throw over the shoulders when the
evening gown is worn.
Another dainty and very new even
ing wrap is in the form of a cape
reaching about to the waist line. ; It
is fashioned of accordion-plaited
chiffon, and made fluffy and fetching
by being trimmed with marabou
Grace Margaret Gould in the Wo
man's Home Journal for November.
Governor Glenn announces that
the State will furnish the money to
complete the Central Hospital addi
tions without waiting for the next
meeting of the Legislature, owing
to the urgent demand for more room
to care for the insane in the State.
The salaries of the heads of the
hanks of Enerland and Germany com
bined amount to $40,000. The salary
of the head of the Mutual Life is
$10.000 'to sav nothmcr of the sal
aries of the rest of the McCurdy
familv ' And McCurdy is provided
with an actuary to do his knowing
for him. Louisville Courier-Journal.
Edna Wallace Hopper has during
the. past three weeks been sued for
breach of promise, figured as the
heiress of an $8,000,000 estate and
been operated on for appendicitis.
Edna has evidently decided to make
a stir this season or bust. Buffalo

If wishes were horses, some beg
gars would still growl because they

Got No Cat Sense.
John Riansev. the red-headed
bachelor editor of the Raleigh En
terprise, published the following
without interposing a doubt:
"The Kinstoii Five Tress tells that
Lewis Clark, who lives in Lenoir
County, heard something flop
against his door one night recently
and then he heard his old cat squall.
ire went out and found that a big
owl : was flying away with his fam
ily cat in its claws. He shot the
owl and saved the cat."
Now Ramsey, bless your sweet old
soul, you have allowed all red-headed
people to be slandered. There is
not a red-headed person in the State
but what has too much "cat sense"
to believe such an air castle, except
it be an old bachelor in his dotage.
Hickory Mercury.
We have to put up with a good
deal of news that looks fishy. For
instance, the Mercury tells us about
a colt only six months old which
weighs 635 pounds. Even a black
haired man would doubt that.
Pilgrim Beauty Hints.
An excellent skin food well com
mended for removing freckles also is
compounded from one ounce each of
clarified mutton tallow, lanolin, and
cocoanut-oil heated with two ounces
of oil of sweet almonds. Beat until
smooth, adding one ounce of extract
of witch-hazel and one teaspoonful of
benzoin.

The skin of the face can be
strengthened and whitened with this
lotion, said to be favored by Sarah
Bernhardt: Two ounces each of
spirits of ammonia and camphor, five
ounces of sea salt, and halt a pint
of alcohol added to sufficient boil
ing water to make a quart. Pour
into a bottle and thoroughly shake
before using the bottle, not your
self. This lotion, well rubbed into
the skin every day, is said to be very
soothing to nerves, and so doubly
beautifying.
-x- '.
For a pallid skin apply, daily, equal
portions of liquid ammonia and
glycerine mixed with double the
quantity of water, lat good rare
beef, drink the native red wine of
yo ur country, and spend as .many
hours on horseback in the canons as
you possibly can. There's nothing
like good air to color the cheeks
and give one an appetite for nour
ishing food. Pilgrim.

Watch the surgeon at his work
when for him it is a matter oi lite

priest of the olden times was so
scrupulous as he. He must get rid
of the least taint of impurity ; it is
death. It is because he has come to
understand the laws of life and to
understand that in the dark places,
in the filth of the world, lurk the
enemies of life, and so he would keep
himself unspotted from the world in
order that he may do the worlds
work. That same thing must be true
of all work of religion, and of moral
ity. It is twofold. Pure religion is
to visit the widow and fatherless in
th ni r nfllict.ion. It, is to CO Out into
the world and do actual deeds of good
will and kindness. But how is a man
to do real irood and not evil ? It IS
his work which brings to him the real
and effective scrupulousness. To do
good and not evil he must keep him
self unspotted from the world. ,
