ATTENTION has recently been
called to tine fact that suicides IL
this country are generally com
mitted by middle-aged men-thai
is, men who have reached the age
of thirty-iive years. The causel
assigned for this curious fact are
that at that age the follies 'ol
youth begin to bear most heavily
upon the subject; his thoughts
are more certainly directed Il
"what might have been !" his am
bitiOn is more fully aroused, and
disappointments weigh the more
heavily upon him in consequence
One is sometimes forced to won
der that suicides are not more
prevalent than they are in these
times of rushing, ceaseless, com
petitive progress, when opportu
mites to compare and prove ones
individual littleness are ever pres
ent. Hope is the one deterrent.

One night John Hodgdon, strong
nerved, clear headed man, was riding
home on horseback from Hillsborough.
The night was dark and windy, and
as Hodgdon came near his farm, he
looked over into a cornfeld and saw
standing upon knoll something that
for a moment made his flesh crawl,
1t stood still for a moment, then II
disappeared, with a weird sound, and
again returned to the knoll. The
farmer soon recovered from his fool.
ish fright, dlsmounted' climbed over
the fence, and walked to the knoll.
He found that his men had left q large
basket in the field, which the wind
blew up from small hollow upon
the knoll; then when there was lull
it would roll back.
An old bhanty in the town was
troubled with ghosts, Rappings
were heard in an unfinished room
over the family living room, A
strong woman, Mary Peaslee,
visited the shanty to hear the ghostly
rappings. Shortly after her arrival
she heard overhead, bump, bump,
bump, then rap, rap, rap. She placed
ladder and went up into the un.
finished room, where she found an
old hen, whose feet and legs had
been frozen. 1t could not walk with
out falling, and the falls made the
humping noise. The raps were caused
by its picking up something to eat,
That ghost was laid by carrying the
hen to the room below.
In another haunted house there
were queer noises and strange objects
seen fitting by the window, After
several days these wonders ceased,
and then some one ventured into the
uninLabited house. He found a dead
cat, left alive by the former occupant,
The cries and the efforts of this cat to
get out had suggested ghost.

Gold Under the Pine Trees.


Atlanta Constitution.
Who ever thought the pine straw
on which rabbit hunters slip and slide
about would become an article of
value? Who dreamed that it would
become the weapon through which
the south would win her independence
of the most grasping and Infamous
trust of modern daysH And yet it is
likely it will do that very thing. The
pine straw bagging being sent out
from North Carolina strikes us as
being a perfect substitute for iute
baggHg. 1t has stood every test of
fire, water and hooks, and has proven
its superiority. Samples of it have
now gone forward to the New York
Exchange, and it will doubtless win
approval there. The South sends out
annually $5,OOO,OOO to buy iute bag
ging. The use of pine straw bagging
will keep this vast amount of money
at home and will convert what has
been worthless rubbish into valuable
product The bagging trust will bo
a blessing in disguise if it brings
about the general manufacture and
use of pine straw bagging, as, in our
opinion, it will undoubtedly do.
Whenever you press the South to
look into her own resources 1t will be
found she has everything she needs.
