Dirt Makes Italy Charming!

"There is good deal to be said in
favor of cleanness, said the artist, "but
there is also something to be said in favor
of dirt. 1t is its dirt that makes Italy so
charming. And if you go into the lower
back streets of the city and watch the
swarms of children at play, you will
agree that their dirt is positive charm.
A grimy face with pair of big eyes and
a laughing mouth, soiled and tatterod
slip, pair of stout, brown legs with
streaks of mother earth upon them, have
made up many picture of hearty enjoy
ment that long and effective application
of the best brand of soap could not begin
to make. "-Ne1o York Sun.

A Spoon. Collecting Mania.

And now the mania for keepsake
spoons has broken out in America. OF
late years it has been the custom for
Americans travelling abroad to pick up a
spoon patterned so as to be emblematic
of each city they visited-a spoon with a
bear on it in Byrn, one with a liver "a
nonescript birdl in Liverpool, and SO
on. This year New York silvers miths
have produced spoons to remember this
city by, and and there are alrerdy en-
blematic spoons for Salem, for Boston,
and for other cities .-Ne,o York Sun.

Why a Ship is Called "She."

Lieutenant F. S. Bassett says there are
many plausible reasons why ship is al
ways spoken of as 'she" by Americans
and some other nations. "The rule, ="
he says, "is not universal. The word
ship is masculine in French, Italian,
Spanish and Portuguese, and possesses
no sex in Teutonic and Scandinavian.
Even n man-of- war is she to our sailors.
Perhaps it would not be an error to trace
the custom back to the Greeks, who
called all ships by feminine names, prob
ably out of Difference to Atbene, goddess
of the sea.
''But the sailor assigns no such reasons.
The ship is to him veritable sweetheart,
and it is a common thing to hear him
ascribing to it vitality and intelligence.
1t is not to him
"a painted ship
Upon painted ocean.
In support of his choice of feminine
name, the sailor is able to point to the
possession by the ship of various feminine
characteristics and belongings. The ship
possesses a waist, collars, stays, laces,
bonnets, ties, ribbons, combings, car
rings, chains, watches, jewels and scarfs,
and there is often considerable "bustle'
about her She is full of pins, hooks
and eyes. She also possesses forehead,
nose, head. eyes, shoulders and more than
one heart. The keeper of a ship in port
is familiarly called the ''ship's husband. "
If we add that she looks best when fully
rugged out, we may have enough of
sailor logic to account for the feminine
name. ."--St. Louis Republ'c

THERE ARE SOME RIGHT HERE
IN HENDERSON.

The Riedsville Re0ie70 commenting
on the spirit of selfshness and lack of
public pride and cooperative effort
to be found in SO may people and
places, says this:
There are in every town men who
would rather talk against the town
than for it.
Men who would rather discourage
an intending investor or locator than
to take him by the hand and induce
him to cast his lot there.
Men who have become expert To-
gicians in arguing why something
should not be done rather than why
it should be done.
Men who derive a fiendish satisfaction
in declaring the way their fathers got
along to be good enough for them.
Men who love darkness rather than
light, who despise progress and revel
in old-fogyism, denying it to be
healthful and proper function Of life to
expand and grow.
Men who predict the death of every
new enterprise, who withhold the
modicum oftheir influence and support
from it in anticipation of its early de-
mise, and are sorely disappointed if
it has enough public spirited patrons
to keep it up and save it from an un-
timely fate.

The New Chief of The Foreign Depart

The appointment OF Walker Fearn, OF
New Orleans, upon the personal WIN.
drawal of Melville d. Stone, as chlef OF
the foreign department OF the Wofld 3
Columbian Exposition, meets with uni
versal appreciation. 1t was promptly
confirmed by the Board OF Directors OF
the Worlds Columbian Exposition, ana
appears altogether popular move upon
the part OF the Worlds Fair manage
ment.
Mr.. Fearn is a native OF Alabama, but
having been for twenty years resident
OF New Orleans, is thoroughly identified
with the beautiful city Of the magnollas.
A graduate of the Yale class OF 81, he
has practiced law in the courts OF New
York and Alabama, and before the
United States Supreme Court. He Is q
man of most distinguished appearance
and affable address, and has held impor-
tant diplomatic positions.
A few years ago he was Acting Secretary
OF Legation, at Brussels, and was also
Secretary of Legation and charge daf-
faires to Mexico. At one time he lived IN
Parif as an attache of Legation. lie
was fTnited States minister to SerVla,
Rouglania and Greece, and in this man
neHacquired a wide acquaintance, and
a remarkable fluency in many IAN
4hages. He has always been distin-
flushed as a Iinguist, and someyears ago
occupied the professorship OF Italian
and Spanish in the Tulane University.
In addition to two tongues, in which
Mr.. Fearn is especially proficient, he is
perfectly familiar with French, German,
and modern Greek. Extended travel In
Europe has perfected his knowledge OF
all these languages. AS Special Com
missioner-General he was sent abroad in
the interests of the New Orleans exposi-
ton, and in this capacity visited all the
lo- ling countries of Europe. He knows
the exposition resources OF England,
France, Belgium, Germany, Austria,
Italy and Switzerland, and the best way
to reach them The knowledge so ac-
quired in connection with the great Cot

value to the Worlds Columbian Expo

THE DURHAM FERTILIZER
COMPANY.
IReidSville Weekly.

AS matter of news the Weekly a
few weeks ago copied an article from
one Of its daily exchanges in regard to
tke seizure of Alliance guano at Me-
GAINESVILLE. The article was printed
merely as a matter of public infoma-
ton, and last week, in justice to the
Durham Fertilizer Co., we printed
their explanation. Both articles were
given for what they were worth and it
had been our purpose to refrain from
comment upon the same, feeling that
settlement of the question would not
be fastened by newspaper contro-
versy. But as the question has degen-
Grated into a very bitter personal
quarrel between the manufacturers Of
the Alliance guano and the Depart
ment of Agriculture, we may be par
doned for taking hand in the dis
cussion in the interest of peace.
President Morgan's explanation i'm
pressed us as being a frank, honest and
manly statement of the facts in the
case and it dispelled whatever doubt
there may have been in our mind as
to the legitimacy of the transaction at
issue. We are satisfied that no wrong
was intended, either in the tag case
or in the deficiency of the indredients
in the guano analysed. Even if we
did not know the gentlemen who are
at the head of the enterprise were hon
orable men, we whuld be forced to
the conclusion that they would not
risk the reputation of good-paying
business for the paltry sum of s2.12H.
On the other hand we are sure that
Commissioner Robinson has done
nothing more than he conceived to be
his duty in the premises, and we have
no sympathy with the reflections made
against the honesty of his intentions.
We believe him to be one OF the
States most faithful officers, who de-
slres to protect the peoples interest
and that under no consideration would
he defect from the path of duty or be
party to an attempt to iniure Mr..
Morgan's business in the interest of a
rival concern. He may have been
overzealous in the discharge of his
duties, but nothing more serious can
truthfully be charged against him.
Since the matter is to go the courts,
let both sides to the unfortunate con-
troversy cease their examinations and
recriminations and fortity themselves
with the plain facts, so that an intelligent
public can decide whether any wrong
has been done and by whom commit
ted. We are satisfied that judicial in
vestigation will prove that the case is
simply misunderstanding and that
no Intentional wrong has been, done
on either side.

THE ALLIANCE AND THE NEW PARTY.


President PoIk's Paper Clearly Indicates
What the Farmers VIII Do.
President Polk's paper, The Progress
i've Farmer, OF Raleigh, is outspoken re-
garding the attitude Of the Alliance to-
ward the Peoples party. It says:
The question What win the Alliance
do with the new party7 is on the lips Of
tens of thousands Of anxious people today.
Well, it ought not to take much wisdom
to answer that question The new party
has adopted the Alliance demands into
it's platform. Does any one suppose that
intelligent Alliance men will vote against
party that adopts those demands and
in favor Of a party that not only fails to
adopt, but -resists those demands? The
western Alliance states have already
gone into the new party Win not the
necessity for Alliance unity force the
other Alliance states to go into the new
party also?
We see no way to prevent the new
party from sweeping the country except
the simple one OF cheerfully conceding
to the people every one OF their just de-
mands II the Alliance men are to be
blamed for going into the new party,
then hungry child can DO blamed for
going to some one Who can and will fur
