If vtn: do not believe in the old -aviiiLr "there is room at the top" ti,. !, just examine the heads of some of these dudes you see every day in flue clothes, with their hair parted in the middle, and be not faithless, I , u t believing.

There must le something in declaration, an we have frequent I v heard other reputable people in tiuiate as much. Tench your children to love mu tic and flowers," is the rather poetic advice given by one of our exchang es, which is all very good. And it mitrht have added: "Teach them tilso to love and respect honest and l.oiinmhle toil, if .you would make of them whatdod would have them be." .Some people are so keen to ape royalty that they will do almost ttiiv thing they ever heard of u king or a queen doing. An Alabama woman, thoroughly enamoured with r-iieli n desire, was found wandering in thrt lields the other day, eating rrasM and herbs in imitation of old K in'1 Nebuchadnezzar. Si ietitLsts tell us that the climate .f tliH planet Mars is very similar to that f our earth. There is a strong probability, however, that it is far more comfortable to live there in hot weather than it is here, since it is be lieved by many that the people of Mars are still living in that innocent Mtate in which our own Adam and Kve were created, and have therefore not vet discovered any necessity for wearing clothes. Ment ioning the fact that lightning tit ruck a church somewhere quite re cently, one of our bright exchanges observes that "Whom the Lord lov et h Me ehrtstenetlj." and then asks, "IMd you ever hear of lightning striking a barroom?" Well, not ex actly that, but the next thing to it happened to many barrooms in North Carolina not so long ago when the people of this good State rose up in their indignation against the barrooms and voted prohibition from the mountains to the seashore. Most assuredly everybody has come to understand fully by this time that all social functions are "elaborate" and "swell" affairs, and that refreshments served on all such occasions are "delicious." Either the social functions and the refresh ment served need some slight varia tions from their dull monotony, or else the society reporters need to ac quire a new stock of descriptive ad jectives. Even an old shelf-worn hook of eynonymes might be found helpful to those whose business it is to wrestle with these ponderous affairs. Cardinal Gibbons, in an address at St Joseph's College and Academy the other day, paid his respects to that dissatisfied element of America's population that would like very much to exchange the graceful femi nine skirt for a pair of breeches, and vote and perform many other mas culine functions, when he gave spec ial emphasis to his candid opinion that the proper place for every true woman is in the home, and that no mch woman even wants to vote. Cardinal (Hbbons has thus, in a very brief sentence, voiced the unbiased opinion of practically every level leaded man and a great majority of the good women in America today. Thut man who would like to see his wife cavorting around the ballot box is a mighty common piece of clay. The Durham county ofilcials are getting in after the big tax-dodgers over that way and seem to be de termined to bring them to head-taw iuid make them quit fudging in the annual game of listing property for taxation. For this timely action the Durham county officials deserve and will receive the hearty commen dation of all truthful and honest citi zens. If the poor man fails to make proper returns of his scanty earthly possessions, he is mighty apt to find himself in the hands of the grand jury in short order, and there should he no discrimination between the rich and the poor in such matters iut now and then you will find a man of more or less wealth who seems to think he ha9 a special li cense to falsify his returns and there by escape his just and equitable share of the burden of taxation. All such fellows need to be taught a les son that would undoubtedly make better and more useful citizens out of them. THE FARMER'S WIFE. Richmond Woman Makes a Strong Piea For the Amelioration of Her Condition in Life. Said a Richmond woman a week or two ago, discussing questions of in terest in regard to farm life: "You may talk as much as you like about the farmer of the future, bis business like basis and his utilization of every possible labor saving machine, but'l go beyond the farmer. I should like to know what is being done, and what is going to be done, for the farmer's wife. "There is no class of women," she says, "whose service to humanity is so little recognized, or whose com fort and advantage is so little con sidered as this class. The farmer, it is true, attends to the plowing and the reaping, the sowing of the seed and the ingathering of the crops, but he is more and more applying the principles ot science to tne improve ment of such crops, to saving them from injury through adverse weather conditions, to bringing them to full perfection and maturity. This tend ing to crops takes the farmer out into the open, and it has at least the advantage of variety. But within doors lies the province of the farmer's wife. She must rise early to have breakfast ready for men whose work calls them early afield, whose morning duties include the feeding and watering ofbe teams, ahead of breakfast. This is prefaced on the woman's part by milking time and by the straining and putting away of the milk. "Then, after breakfast, there are dishes to be washed, rooms to be put in order, churning to be looked after, dinner to be planned and cooked, the table to be set again. In the afternoon, when other women are resting, the farmer's wife is set ting her dining room and kitchen to rights. Then she has to get an early and substantial supper against the time when her men-folk, tired and hungry, come home from the fields to enjoy the closing meal of the day. "Even if the farmer's wife faced the strenuous problem of the daily round with a kitchen equipment that trans formed what had been difficult iuto comparatively comfortable achieve ment; even if her domestic help was trained and efficient, as it is scarcely likely to be, she would have to be a woman of unusual executive ability in herself to render her department of farm life anything but drudgery, and monotonous drudgery. "But when it is remembered how ng women in rural districts have been making bricks without straw, how long they have been wasting youth and health and energy in kitchens, destitute of all but the most primitive methods for baking and brewing, thev are the human beings for whom my interest is most strongly aroused," concluded the woman advocate of the farmer s wife class, pausing to take breath and looking around on her little audi ence with an expression that seemed to challenge contradiction. "And while the American nation," she resumed, "is preaching back-to- ttie soil doctrine, and getting out improved farming implements and writing a handy pocket series on sci entific agriculture, I should wish someone to get up pictures of model kitchens and dairies and chicken bouses. 1 should like for farmers to be encouraged in having water put into their houses and in building sub stantial outhouses, especially houses where stock can be kept in winter. 1 should like public sympathy and at tention called to the long-sunenng farmer's helpmeet. She should have her chance. If she is sure of help in the devices she needs to lighten her daily labor; if electricity and ma chinery are associated to come to her deliverance, she will have tne time she needs for practical training and can preserve her pretty looks and wear her pretty frocks, trans forming her farmer husband into her perpetual sweetheart.

Tillman attended commencement at Winthrop College, Rock Hill, S. C, last week, but was unable to deliver the diplomas to the graduating class. While the Senator is nothing like "down and out," he is nevertheless far from being the original spirit that he for merly was. He uses a walking cane in going. around and appears to be very much handicapped by one side not working well, giving him the ap pearance of being partially paralyzed on one side. He was asked to deliver the diplomas to the graduates, but on account of his condition had to decline. Republican Economy. You can get no new rural free de livery routes because the Postmaster-General says be is practicing economy. He paid for furnishing his own office: 3o for a waste basket, $298 for a desk, $320 for a table, $ 2G5 for a wardrobe, $483.75 for one rug and $G00 for draperies in one room. Such Jeffersonian-"simplicity" takes so much money that there'is none left for needed services. News and Observer. To Rash Reciprocity BUI, A dispatch from Washington says that the Senate Finance Committee is determined to push through the Canadian reciprocity bill with all possible speed, since it has been as certained by the Senate leaders that there is a clear majority in favor of the bill without amendment. Laugh is on the Men Now. The newspapers have from time to time criticised the women for their uncomfortable fashions in dress, -but beat-ridden victims now declare that men, too, are victims of foolish con ventionalities and the women may have the laugh on them in the sum mer time. The Charlotte Observer quotes a citizen, groaning under his high temperature, as follows: "It is high time that man, mere or otherwise, should rise in his might and overthrow the fashion of coat wearing to which he has for years truckled, a martyred victim," de clared a member of the sex ves r . i 1, i -li. teruay, wnue ne mopnea nis perrti.u ing brow and looked at the thermom eter again to see if it registered 92 or 102. "We have much to say," he con tinued heatedly, tempering his re marks to match the weather, "about the slavery of womankind, the sacri fice of comfort to looks on the part of the female portion of the human race. It's really a case of put up or shut up. Some years ago for a fleet ing season shirtwaists were in vogue, but somebody ruled against them and out they went. The average summer coat of a man is scarcely, if any, lighter than that which pro tects a woman against freezing win ter s chilliest blasts. A woman who should come up town today in a full coat-suit would be considered a fit candidate for examination by a lun acy commission, .bven petticoats are obsolete. The man who appears without a coat, however, is looked upon as beyond the pale of polite so ciety. And it's all his own fault. This is a man's world and what he says, whether in morals, in law, or in masculine fashion, goes. I would not, of course, presume to extend his influence into the realm of femi nine fashions, but within his own sphere he can force the world to ac cept whatever be wishes. "Believe me, gentlemen, the laugh is on us." F. S. Itexford. G15 New York Life Bldg., Kansas City, Mo., says: "I had a severe attack of a cold which settled in my hack and kidneys and I was in great pain from my trouble. A friend recom mended Foley Kidney Fills and I used two hottlef of them and they have" done me a world of good." For sale by all drugghte. Vance County Roads. Mr. Leonard Tufts, president of the Capital Highway Association, recently made a trip from Pinehurst, N. C, to Richmond, Va., a distance of 273 miles. In a letter to the Times-Dispatch he describes the con dition of the various roads over which he traveled, and says the fol lowing about the roads in Vance county: "Starting from the Tar River you go iuto Vance county, and whereas the roads are not bad, they are far from good, but are slowly being im proved. The road passes' through Kittrell and on to Henderson, about twelve miles. Mr. Cooper, of Hender son, tells me the county roads will be much improved before this winter. From Henderson, through Warren ton for the next twenty-four miles, the roads are not good, and unless they receive attention pretty soon they will be bad. We traveled this road in a rain storm, and we got lit tle pleasure out of it, but perhaps the roads are better than I have given them credit for." Poison Files With Formalin. . Thousands of house flies are being killed in Raleigh every day by what is known as the formalin treatment. The druggists of that city are selling formalin by the gallons. Many of the Raleigh housekeepers are using the poison on the front and back porches in order to get the flies that are waiting te enter the house when ever the doors nre opened. This poison acts very successfully in un screened kitchens and dining rooms. Wherever flies are numerous the formalin gets them by the thousands. Directions for the use of this remedy are as follows: One tablespoonful of formalin in one-half pint cupful of equal parts milk and -water. Ex pose this poison mixture in shallow plates, wherever flies are numerous Place a piece of bread in the center of the plate to furnish a place for the flies to feed. The result in dead flies is said to be wonderful. tie Had Done Eoough. Mayor Longstreth, of Merchant ville, New Jersey, recently ran for the office of mayor in the little Jersey village, and one night before election he made a speech in the town hall. "Fellow citizens," said the candi date, "I have fought against the In dians; 1 have often . had no bed but the battlefield and no canopy but the sky. I have walked over frozen ground until every step was marked with blood." His story was going fine until a little dried-up looking voter rose from his seat in the rear of the hall and called out: "Well, I'll be carn sarned if you haven't done enough for your country. You go home and rest, I'll vote for the other fellow." Philadelphia Times. Against High Shoes. A nation-wide movement against wearing high heel shoes was the plan inaugurated by Justice Howard, of the New York Supreme Court, in ad dressing an audience of women. Jus tice Howard said: "Wearing high heel shoes is as barbarous and tor turing, destructive to health as the Chinese wooden shoes. It is as heathenish as wearing rings in the nose or tattooing the face. It breeds an ungainly, deformed race. Have courage to speak out against this silly fashion fashion as destructive as rum and as deadly as opium." Shall we install moving pictures into our schools to teach geography and like subjects. State Superinten dent Eggleston, of Virginia, advises the adoption of such a course and so do many other educators. News and Observer. Wouldn't Let Sheep Bite Him. The attempt in Russia to convict Jews of a "ritualistic murder" as an excuse for a massacre is just about as convincing aa the plea of the darky caught sheep stealing that "I don' 'low no white man's sheep to bite ma." Louisville Courier-Journal. AMERICAN TOBACCO COMPANY Submits Plan of Reorganization to Attorney General Wickersham. It is understood that the American Tobacco Company, through its at torneys, has submitted to Attorney General Wickersham a tentative plan under which it proposes to re organize in conformity with the re cent decision of the Supreme Court. It will be remembered that the com pany was ordered by the Supreme Court to change its present form of organization so as to conform to a certain standard that had not here 'of. ire been clearly deflned. This ,.au of organization was to be sub mitted to the Circuit Court of Ap peals and to Attorney General Wick ersham for approval. Immediately after the recent decis ion was handed down it was said that the attorneys for the company had at once gone to work to form a plan of reorganization that would conform to the requirements of the Sherman anti-trust law as defined by the Supreme Court. This plan, it is now stated, has been completed and submitted to Attorney General Wickersham for his approval. But it will not be submitted to the board ot directors ot tne company, it is said, until the Attorney General passes upon it. If he approves the plan, it will then be submitted to the board of directors and then to the Circuit Court. No details of the plan will be given out until it has been ap proved by all parties concerned. Much interest centers in the final plan of organization to be adopted. This plan will serve as a model for the organization of all the other large corporations throughout the country which are engaged in inter state commerce. Invite Them In. Two farmers were not long since discugsing their local newspaper, says an exchange. One thought it had too many advertisements in it. The other replied: "In my opinion the advertisements are far from being the least valuable part of it. I look them over carefully and save at least five times the cost of the paper each week through the busi ness advantages I get from them." Said the other: "I believe you are right I know that they pay me well and rather think it is not good taste to find fault with the advertisements after all. Those men have the right idea of the matter. It pays any man with a family to take a good local paper for the sake of the advertise ments if nothing more. And if busi ness men fail to give farmers a chance to read advertisements in the local paper, they are blind to their own interests, to say the least of it. "You never trade with me," said a business man to a prosperous farmer. "You have never invited me to your place of business and I never go where I am not invited; I might not be wel comed," was the reply. Catching Husbands. How to get married seems to be a question with many girls and iadiee. It is a timely question. They ought to think more seriously of it. Hav ing no experience they make mis takes. These mistakes last for life, too. Often they shorten life. It is all right to dress neat and stir around. That, alone, though won't do. Fine dressing and "sassiety" airs are good baits to catch suckers cigarette suckers dudes and fel lows dependent upon their "daddies" for clothes, rations and bedding. But for sensible folks, they hardly fool them. Smiles and flowers for the sick and poor on the streets at tract more real love than having a gay time on the streets and ring jawing chewing gum. Then helping mother and being respectful to father catches more sensible people than fine dress or even a college edu cation. Lincolnton Times. Middle Aged and Elderly People.

It was a newspaper advertisement in sixty-one papers of the West that changed congressional sentiment over night and resulted in a definite choice by the national legislators of San Francisco over New Orleans as the place for the Panama Exposi tion in 1915. "It is doubtful if there is on record a more trenchant and power-compelling advertisement than this," writes S. C. Lambert, in Printers' Ink, "which, although sent by tele graph at a late stage in the fight, awoke the united fighting spirit of the West, and created a tidal wave of over 100,000 letters and tele grams that surged in upon Wash ington, swamped its telegraphic fa cilities and reversed the action of the committee on industrial arts and ex position, which had reported favor ably to New Orleans, nine to six. Woman Cook For President Taft. President Taft is probably the on ly ruler who employs a woman cook. The white house cook at the present time has not been in the employ of the president over a year, her prede cessor having married one of the white house policemen several months ago. The new cook is an Irish wo man and cooked for the Taft family when they resided in Cincinnati. She is especially skilled in concocting meals to suit President Taft, who is rigidly in favor of all crood, solid food of tie kind that nar forefathers ate. XL-1 Hilary f the president's cook is not nearly as large as those or foreign rulers, but she does not How to Poison Hies. The Raleigh News and Observer says that the people cf West Raleigh held a meeting last week to organize a Fight-the-Flies Club. They have studied the danger to health in these pests and had the privilege of hear ing an address by Dr. R. I. Smith, Entomologist of the North Carolina State Experiment Station, who has given Btuay ana practical tests to the subject of breeding of flies and atso tne best way to poison flies ins address has borne fruit. In one place in West Raleigh, by the use of lormamenyae as suggested by Dr. Smith, one and a half quarts of dead flies were picked up in a place where tne nies were particularly bad. He says that there are several successful fly poisons that can be bought in any community and we have learned quite recently that formaldehyde is one oi tne oeaz ana cneapest poisons that can be used. This costs about fifty cents a pint and one tablespoon full in a cup full, one-half milk and one-half water is all that is neces sary, and sh6uld be exposed in shal low plates. It is well to put a piece oi ureau in tne plate. This poison is most successful if used in places where flies are very numerous, such as milk rooms, back porches where refusejs often placed, or around the kitchens. When attempting to rjoison flies. it is best to use the poison outside of tne Duuaiug as well as inside. Flies can often be poisoned by the hun dreds on porches where they are waiting to enter whenever the door is opened. We' will never succeed in greatly lessening the house-fly nuisance by simply poisoning or traDninir the flies, but whenever people become in terested enough to prevent flies from breeding they will find that a little additional work towards killing off tne mes by the use of poisons, sticky fly papers, traps, etc., will be worth tne trouble. State Normal and Industrial College. Attention is directed to the advertise ment of the State Normal and Industrial College, which appears in this issue. Every year shows a steady growth in this institution devoted to the higher education of the women of North Caro lina. The College last year had a total en rollment of 909 students. Eighty-seven of the ninety-eight counties of the State had representatives in the student body. Nine-tenths of all the graduates of this institution have taught or are now teaching in the schools of North Carolina. The dormitories are furnished bv the State and board is furnished at actual cost. Two hundred appointments with free tuition, apportioned among: the sev eral counties according to school popu lation, will be awarded to applicants about the middle of July. Students who wisn to attend this institution next year should make application as early as pos sible, as the capacity of the dormitories is limited. Kind of Man That Counts. There is one man essential to the welfare of this or any other town. The average every day citizen who lives within his means, cares little for social functions or society shin ing, who pays his debts, is the man after all who is helping most to build up this and every other town. He is not only the kind of man who is making this town but he is the man who will keep it going. This fellow about whom we are talking is the salt of the earth. Sometimes he isja store keeper, a shop hand or day laborer, sometimes he is a profes sional man. No matter what his station in life; he is always on the job and can be depended on. Ashe boro Courier. Found a Centipede. Mr. Hallman Fink captured a cen tipede on the floor of his kitchen yes terday and brought it to this office where it has created no little curiosi ty. It is a small one, about three and a half inches in length and re sembles the thousand leg worm but ia larger and has a different shaped head. It has twenty-one pair of legs, four pairs of eyes and seventeen joints. Their bite is quickly fatal to insects and is very painful and dan gerous to larger animals and to man. They feed largely on insects and pursue them into their lurking places and for this reason they are regarded in some places as more use ful than injurious. So far as is known this is the first centipede ever discov ered here. Concord Times. Panama Canal to Open In 1015. The date when the Panama canal will be opened is set officially for January 1, 1915, but the work of excavation possibly will be complet ed much earlier. Of course, if slides in Culebra cut continue, it may take the full time to finish the excavation there. But if they are not greater than now anticipated the work will be well advanced towards the finish ing touches in three more years. The contracts for the installation of the operating machinery call for its com pletion in time that the canal can be tried out by the end of December, 1913, and unless unforeseen delays occur in the manufacture ot the equipment the canal will be ready for emergencies before the fixed open ing date.
