Duke recently made the t gift ever made by a u man when he contri buted forty millions to charity, religion and education and since then, men cf smaller means have followed his example. Mr. E. D. Latta, one of the pioneer builder.** jof Charlotte, gave more in pro* portion to his wealth than Mr. Duke and his wealth will serve to j help those in affliction, heal and heln. Employes who helped Duke land Latta earn their fortunes mav not profit from the estates, but they have the satisfaction of knowing that it will benefit humanity in the years to come. There recently died in Danville, Va., Mr. John E Hughes, success ful tobacconist. He was a bache lor and generally regarded in hts business dealings as one who would insist on having the bet ter end of the bargain. Having no children of his ewn, the urch ins of the street never command ed his notice, but when his will was read, it astounded the public byproviding three million dollars for an orphanage to be erected m his country-estate near Dan ville This institution will be for orphan children of North Caro lina as well as Virginia and when it is comnleted it will be ore of the finest institutions of its kind in the South, with an endowment sufficient to operate through the ve->rs to come. You can never ted from a man’s every-dav life whether he will be a philan thronist or miser. Cleveland countv does not have a Duke, Latta or Hughes, Jni< we have many men of means: sufficient to make hapny the lives of little children through *> park or play-ground, broaden <he usefulness of Boiling Snringft high school or enable the Shelby hosnital to care for charity cases. A few thousand dollars left to such causes in a county where such-has never been done hefore, would carve his name indelibly on the hearts and in the minds of Cleveland citizenship. Texas Letter Tells Of Crop Destitution Cleveland folks, who have been Complaining about the dry spell that j revailed during the months of June and July, should be tiufnkful that they live here instead of in the state of Texas. Mr. ('.

Mr. Brooks has been living in McGregor, Texas for several years, and in a letter written to his brother last week, he states that the crops <h»wn there are absolutely worthless. He had 200 acres of fertile .land plant ed to cotton, qnd he said he would be willing to cell the entire crop for 26 cents.
