SMILES AND SMILES.

should Smile and We All should smile.
The Washington Post, of the 7tb
INST, under the head of "Capitol
Chat" gets off the following:
Upon more than one occasion a
smile has changed the history of
earth. AT the age of eighty years
Nlnan de fEnclos fascinated kings
and ministers by fash of her high
priced worries. For Cleopatra's smile
Anthony mot of Texas counted the
world well lost. 1t was Helen's smile
that made fool of Paris. and "fonr
hngers" of smiles over the Hoffman
house bar recently got Col. Elliott
r. ohepard, of the New York Mail
ana Examiner, into the newspapers
But not Cleopatra's smile, nor Hell.
ems. nor Shepard's could hold a can
Ole to the smile that mantled under
the gray beard of Senator Stewart
Yesterday afternoon when the Hill
OIL went down and he knew that his
beloved white metal was safe for the
session That smile should have
been caught by a camera and fixed
In marble. 1t was yard wide and
good ten minutes long. The am
pie shoulders of the venera BILE states
man shook with suppressed mirth.
and ne wagged his head from side to
side IN utter enjoyment. From his
point of view it was all very funny.
and he was happy. He tLgged at
ms beard and sobered himself by tow
ing with the papers on his desk: then
relapsed and laughed some more.

tiers which some of you have written
US, expressing your appreciation OF
the childrens column. One writes
81 have always read the CAUCASIAN
but | will read it with more pleas
ure how than ever, especially the

Several of you have sent in COM
munieations for that column, but
they came after we had gone to press
on the outside. We will publish
them next week. Remember we

THEY DO NOT LET THE LADIES JOIN.

A Sampson lady, teaching in
Camden county in a letter to the
CAUCASIAN says:
"The reform cause is not pros
pering here as tits in dear old Samp-
son."
Further Oh in the same letter she
says:
"Ladles are not admitted into the
Alliance in this county,"
That explains it all. The officers
of the Camden county Alliance are
making sad mistake. The ladies
are eligible to join the Alliance, and
wherever they take an interest
IN the movement, they are one
of the strongest factors in the re-
form cause. Brethren of Camdee,
correct your error at once.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1893-02-16

Two ladies have written thanking
us for Our editorial headed Justice
for the girls and women" One
says: "You arc right, the State has
never done her duty by the girls of
the State. And now especially since
the majority of US are forced to work
at duties, other than those Of the
household, for a living, it is highly
important that the girls should
have training in lines that will fit
them for some of the practical ocu-
pations." "The other says: "Yeur
idea is a good one. If the legisla-
ture will collect the back taxes on
the w Il W railroads and put in
schools for the girls, it Will be the
biggest thing they can do for the
State. My father works hard and
is forced to pay taxes on everything
he owns. He has not been able to
send me to school much. If these
railroads were to pay their just taxes
as he has, and it was used to educate
the girls, and many others might
yet get n chance in spite OF TIE
hard times to fit ourselves to earn a
living at SOMETHING. a poor girl
has q hard time"
