over-banking, over-trading, over

A PERVERTED NATURE.

A certain class of thinkers who
style themselves scientists now
and then bob up to to tell us that
religion is a perversion of mans
nature. This might give the fol-
lowers of Jesus some concern, did
not the weakest of them know it to
be mere caricature of scientific
thought? If religion be a perver-
of mans nature they ought to tell
us what faculty is perverted, estab-
lish its function clearly, and in this
way prove that it is perverted.
They cannot point out the faculty
and name it without conceding re-
ligion. The faculty is spirituality,
veneration, ,conscientiousness. Again
if man have always made this
greatest of all mistakes in the most
important ofall matters, then surely
nature cannot be trusted

tsFor mankind Is ever weak
And little 70 be trusted;
II self the wavering balance strike,

IF human nature be so unreliable
how did these philosophers find it
out, by means Of this perverted
human nature? There are many
dark problems which our minds
never could penetrate and we are
not sure but this is one of the
number.

More Burglars.

Thieves visited the residence of
Mrs. Matte Wilson, in the southern
part of the city Tuesday night, and
after raiding her pantry and taking
a quantity of groceries and some
crockery ware, repaired to her fowl
house and appropriated an even
dozen hens.
Quite number of citizens are
keeping loaded shotguns awaiting
an opportunity to give these noe
turnal visitors a reception that they
will not only remember, but which
will be lesson to others of the
same guild. 1t is self evident that
they need lesson, for their thiev-
ing operations are getting to be of
an alarming frequency, and any
thing that has a tendency to deter
them will be hailed with delight.

A GENTLEMAN who keeps posted on
the finances of the country, talking
to a farmer about the cotton that
was being held causing a depression
in finances, expressed the opinion
that there was no hope of an in
crease in prices and gave as his rea-
son the conclusion reached from the
logical deduction of the facts
that for the past ten years, with one
exception, the crop had increased
every year, until now the available
supply of the world is some twelve
million bales, while the demand is
but little over nine millions bales.
He reasoned that if this turned out
to be a poor crop year, the increased
acreage would mike a further in
crease in the general supply and
with present excess over the de-
mand there seems to be no logical
reason why there should be an in
crease in the price. If it should
turn out to be a good crop year
which would run the crop of this
country up to eight or nine million
bales, a still further reduction in
price might be looked for.

procession

Some burglars effected an entrance
in the store of Mr.. B. Eldr1dge Sat
urday night, by removing the tran
son over the side door. They had a
light vehicle of some kind at the
back door, which they opened and
proceeded to haul off supply OF
provisions, taking bacon, meal and
-four, six or eight bottles of fine
whiskey and tobacco that was missed.
There is no telling how much was
taken from the store as it is impos-
sible to tell what such bold and de-
liberate burglars would pile upon a
wagon carried there for the occas-
ion.
1t was only a month ago that the
same store was entered but the bur-
glars were interrupted by the appear
ance of Mr.. Dan Williams, one of
the clerks who returned to the store
soon after supper.

The Encampment Ground.

Bids for the permanent encamp-
ment grounds Of the State militia
will be received until the 10th of
May. All that is required from
whatever city secures the encamp-
msnt grounds is so acres of land,
and there is no question but that
it would be a good investment for
any city. Brennan has had an init
nation that she could get this plum
by donating the grounds, which she
can well afford to do. The amount
expended annually at these encamp-
ments is variously estimated at from
$4,000 to 100000 Brennan is
the most centrally located city in
the circle of the state militia,
is easy of access, having rail,
road from four points of the com
pass, has two of the crack military
companies of the state, takes con.
siderable interest in military affairs
and wIthal is the most suitable
place in the state for the encamp-
ment. Suitable grounds can easily
be secured near the city and our
people should not let the opportuni.
ty pass without making a heroic eff.
fort to secure the permanent en-
campment grounds.

Protect Your Health.

Cold and moisture combined have a tor
porising effect upon the bodily organs, and
the digestive and secretive processes are apt
to be more tardily performed in the winter
than in the fall. The same is true, also, of
the excretory functions. The bowels are
often sluggish, and the pores of the skin
throw off but little waste matter at this sea-
son. The system, therefore, requires open
ing up little, and also purifying and regu-
lating, and the safest, surest and most thor
ough tonic and Alternative that can be used
for these purposes is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. Persons who wish to escape the
rheumatic twinges, the dyspepric agonies,
the painful disturbances of the bowels, the
bilious attacks, and the nervous visitations,
so common at this time of the year, will, do
well to reinforce their systems with this re-
nowned vlsetable stomachic and invigorant.
II improves the appetite, strengthens the
stomach, cheers the splits and renovates the
whole physique.

lively scrimmage Saturday evening.

that she had been assaulted by Bill

shot four times at his wife's asssil-

cry stable full of horses, creating in
tense excitement many thinking the
fight had been renewed.

ALL trains between Hampstead
and Chappell Hill have been sus-
pended on account of the high wa
ter which is said to have reached
the high water mark of last year.
The trains have had great trouble
transferring passengers in boats,
some engines having their fires put
out and getting grounded in the
water, hence the necessity of aban-
doning further efforts in this direc-
ton until the water subsidies.
Trains will be run on the regular
schedule time as far as Chappell
Hill until the water subsidies.
