The Book Of Life.

Every man makes the book of his
life. day by day, as he lives. and at
his death the pages are turned over
by his friends, and by his record each
one is judged. Each later line in the
poem of life should add somethin e to
the opening lines. Each succeeding
year should carry ones politics, char
acter, creed. and religion a little
higher. One of the dangers to this
country is the increasing tendency to
devote life to pleasure seeking.
Noting should displace laughter. It
adds to life. But there is not a more
pitiable spectacle than that of an
adult life wasted in pleasure. Some
central utility should rise in every
adult life. The census taker could
not tell how many people in this
country are devoting themselves al
most wholly to pleasure. The rapid
accumulation of wealth may have
turned a million, perhaps two million,
of people from their usefulness.
Next in evil to the devotion to pleas
nrs is the struggle for notoriety.
The book of life should be shown
only to its writer. Certain parts of
life are inexpressible, and every soul
has a world of its own in which there
can be no reporters footprint Prof.

The farmers throughout the county
are much stirred up on the swindle
lately perpetrated upon them by one
Mr.. Fletcher, of Cincinnati, who
claimed to represent Fletcher & Co.,
manufacturers of wire fencing. He
visited the farmers throughout the
county, and persuaded several to
take, what they thought and sup
posed to be simply contracts for the
fence. It turns out, the notes which
the farmers gave Mr.. Fletcher, were
negotiable notes, and he sold them to
Mr.. Cohen, of Danville, who was here
yesterday looking into the matter.
He took the notes to the banks, and
as they refused to recognize them, he
knew that something was wrong.
Mr.. Cohen claimed to have been
taken in also, and he has gone in
search of Fletcher.-Charlotte Chron-

The new appropriations foot up
about $114. 900; and this allows moth
ing for an immigration Commission
er, or for the Chicago Exposition.
The State spent nothing last year, az
We understand it for the Peniteniary.
So the full amount of $114, 900 is in
addition to the demands made last
year on the Treasury. Besides pro-
vision should be made for interest on
four per cent. bonds that may be ex-
changed under the extended law; say
$40 600. And then the Asylums need
larger appropriations than last year.
MOREOVER the treasury ought not to
be run so close. There should be
some margin. We have lost the tax
on drummers that formerly helped US
out and that is a cause Of the def
cheney. On the whole it seems to US
that the State tax must be increased

what Hop. Oss Helps All.

The kind of human nature that al
ways sees deep plot in every new
move has communicated to the Citi-
zen his belief that the plan to i'm.
prove the city of Asheville $64O, 900
worth is a scheme to financially aid
certain real estate men. For once
the suspicious soul is right. To inn
prove Asheville with 100000 or
more would undoubtedly help some
real estate men; indeed our impress
sion is that it would help all of them
more or less. The Citizen hastens to
add that it also believes that very,
or nearly every trade and profession
would be benefited by having streets
on which one could travel with COM
fort and comparative ease.-Ashe-
