Men complain of not finding a place Of
repose. They are in the wrong; they
have II for seeking. What they should
indeed complain OF Is that the heart Is
an enemy to that very repose they seek.

There are four good habits: Punct-
uality, accuracy, steadiness and des-
patch. Without the first of these, time
is wasted; without the second, mistakes
the most hurtful to our own credit and
interest, and that OF others, may be com
mitted; without the third, nothing can
b. well down; and without the fourth,
opportunities of great advantage are
lost, which it is impossible to recall.

We do not know any modern evil
which needs more emphatic condem-
nation than the one we are now dis
cussing. When girls once fully catch
the idea that they are young ladies,
that they need beaux wherever they go,
that it is .s awful dull" to go anywhere
without 's their fellow" they are almost
sure to be of no account as pupils at
school, and generally form quite pre-
mature and often unhappy marriages.
Let the common sense and Christian
sentsment of our people cry down this
evil, and let our Christian parents re-
member that they are responsible under
God for the moral and intellectual
training of their children. All how
many unhappily married women there
are in the land to-day, and how many
parents there are whose gray hairs are
fastening with sorrow to the grave
that would be wiser if their lives could
be lived over again

To Promote the Prosperity of North
Carolina
Monroe RepiSter. |

tAuohAoO AeSSAotOA'J
The Raleigh NeaVs and Observer
recently contained an editorial sug-
gesting the organization of an asso-
citation to promote Southern manu-
factories. 1t says: We propose an
association to promote the prosperity
of our State. The idea is to foster
manufactures in our midst All that
is necessary is for those who are willing
to become members to agree that they
will use as far as possible North Caro-
lima products. Call ior North Carolina
articles of the kind you want, and ask
your merchant to procure them, if he
has not them in stock. IF this be
once begun, the demand for home
made articles will soon stimulate their
production. North Carolina shoes,
North Carolina cassimers, North Caro-
lima brooms buckets, &C., &c, &C.,
to the end of the list.
"Let us make an earnest effort to
promote the growth of manufactures
/, here in this State Because Of our
! cheap labor and abundant raw ma
terial such articles as we mostly use
can be made here at less cost than at
the North. Let us make a be-
ginning"
There is good, sound common sense
in the suggestion, and if the people of
North Carolina would act in concert,
agreeing to use, SO far as possible only
articles manufactured in our midst, it
would prove long stepin the direc-
ton of prosperity and independence.
Maj. J. w. Scott, of Lemon Springs,
Moore county, writes the Neys and
Observer, endorsing its suggestion,
and adds that he believes the Farmers
Alliance would give an organization
their united support. Maj. Scott
closes by saying:
81 hope you will keep this subject
before the people, and that every
editor in the State will aid you in this
grand and important move. Call a
State convention at the capital and
invite everybody to attend, to urge the
citizens of every county in the State
to organize and send delegates to
State convention. In this convention
l will be one of five hundred or less to
raise $1,000, each, to build in some
central point in our State, Publish
ing House to supply our schools with
textbooks and drive out the expensive,
worthless trash that is now in use in
our public schools. Some of the best
are from Southern authors, why not
have them all of the same sort2''
1t would be good idea to call a
State Convention to consider this
matter, and the proposition to raise
sufficient sum to establish a publishing
house to supply our schools with text
books is one that is worthy of serious
consideration. Thousands of dollars
are sent out of our State every year to
pay for school books and there is no
reason why publishing house, backed
by sufficient capital, should not prove
a success in our State.
Let US inaugurate new era, and
unite in one common effort to build
up the interests of our State. Concert
of action can bring about the desired
result.

We Have Had Some Experience With
Him. g.

Every newspaper has an occasional
subscriber whose soul seems to have
been made out of the fag end of the
material. A contemporary observes
that he is always glad when he is drop
ped from the list. They generally re-
fuse to take the paper after receiving it
a year without paying for it-a plain
steal, and the law makes it such, with
an insult added-or else they move
away without paying a nickel, OF they
all at once discover that they get 1t ir-
regularly, and refuse to pay for it. In
either case it is a mere snap. such as an
honest man would not be guilty OF.
The proper way to stop newspaper is
to pay up all arrearages and then dis
continue t.-Churubusco Sunday Peo-

History Of Church. .PewS.

A writer in Sunday Afternoon
traces the history of these luxuries,
which are so entirely a matter of
course that we never think of CHASING
them amoug modern improvements
sin the early days of Anglo-Saxon
and some the Norman churches, q
stone bench running round the interi-
or of the church, except the east side,
was the only sitting accommodation
for the visitor. In 1929 the people ate
represented as sitting on the ground
or standing. A little later the people
introduced low three-legged stools pro-
miscuously over the church. Soon
after the Norman Conquest wooden
seats were introduced. In 1887 de-
cree was issued in regard to the wrang-
ling for seats SO common that none
should call any seat his own, except
noblemen or patrons, each entering
and holding the one lie first found.
From 1880 to 1910 seats were more ap-
propriated. In zoos galleries were in
troduced, and as early as l6l4 pews
were arranged to afford comfort by be-
ing brized or cushioned, while the
sides around were so high as to hide
the occupants-a device of the Puri-
tans to avoid being seen by the officers,
who reported those who did not stand

size of a man. The sergeant is conf
dent of his ability to command COM
pany; the clerk believes he could man
age the establishment; tue preacher
has no doubts of his qualifications for
the office of Bishop. The friends of
these inferior office-holders consider
them equal to any responsibility.
Promotion will tell the story. Those
who have seen a man trying to fill q
place which was too large for rim
have often been amused and some-
times mortified. Some one who was
called OH to fill the place of an absent
speaker, said II cannot fill his place,
but can rattle round in it," 1t is not
an uncommon thing to see men rat
Ting round in a position for which
they are too small. An eminent men,
Der of Congress died many years ago,
and his successor, who weighed nearly
three hundred pounds, antagonized
John Randolph. After pronouncing
an eloquent eulogy OH the deceased
member, Mr.. Randolph turned to his
antagonist, and said: ~ turn to the
seat once occupied by the distinguished
member, and 10 it is vacant" What
Randolph said in sarcasm may be said
in seriousness of too many positions
now held by ambitious aspirants.
