Advice to Women.

George W. Childs once said to a
girl from the west, who went to him
with letters and the hope of getting
sufficient influence to dosomething in
the arabic field of journalism: Little
woman, if you can do something, go
ahead and do it. The world is hun
cry for something new. 1t is an
omnivorous creature, but it wants a
change constantly. Keep as quiet as
you can Keep out of mems way as
much as you can, for fit is trespassing
to go on private property. Keep
yourself in good health, good spirits
and good clothes, and don't try to be
good fellow or one of the boys.
Save half of your earnings Go to
church. Fe agreeable, but reserved,
and if some honorable man offers
you his name and his protection give
it all up, marry him and devote your
energies to home making. The bust
ness world is no place for a woman.
1t is rough place, and people has e
to get rough to succeed init. know
hundreds OF gentlewomen in business,
but they always seem to me like GO
ing fishing in a dress suit and white
gloves. Exquisite fabrics are not in-
tended for rough and ready wear"

KERNERsvlLLE's ORCHESTRA.
"Reubin Rink" Has Organized One
Two Policemen.
of The Sentinei1

Correspondence of The Sentinel
KERNERsNTLLE. March 9-In ad-
dition to what l had to say in re-
gard to the musical talent of Kern
ersville in my last jots have this to
say now. "Reubin Rink" who is
very fond of fine music and knows
how to appreciate it, has organized
an orchestra with altogether home
talent. Prof. BrCckman, of Green's
boro, who is the instructor, came up
on Tuesday night, the 9th inst, and
gave the boys their first lesson.
They will use six violins, one violin
cello, and one bass violin, one b fiat
coronet, one B fat clarOlet, one
flute, and one piano at present,
twelve instruments in all. He has
contracted with the Professor for
three months instruction once a week.
Prof. Brockman is teacher Of the
Greensboro music school and [ learn
he has a class in Salem. We hope
Mr.. Kerner will be abundantly sue
cessful in this undertaking and that
at no distant day Kernersville can
boast Of a well organized and
thorough orchestra.
Rev Mr.. Robinson, of the Presby-
terrain faith, preached most edify
ing and interesting sermon from the
MoIavian pulpit here on Tuesday
night, from Hosea 6:3.
Why don't your Yadkin cores
pondent OF Shore call on some of the
prophets to solve his light extinguish-
ing problem. For instance, the
snow prophet is near by; perhaps he
might make a correct mathematical
solution of the problem, he being
accustomed to very intricate calcC-
| lations.
Mr.. John Henry Stewart, of our
town, says he planted half bushel
of Irish potatoes last year and
raised sixteen bushels, and that MIR.

the hands of our citizens for the very
efficient manner in which he has con

New Railroad to be Built-EIectric
Light Plants, Etc.
In its issue this week. the Baltimore
Manufacturers Record summarizes
the southern conditions as follows:
The week has been notable for the
number of proposed municipal i'm
prOvements and real estate transfers,
aside from the list of industrial en-
terprises. Many projects for water
works, electric light plants, ETC..
show desire on the part of south
ern towns to take advantage of the
low rate of money and make needed
improvements. The readjustment of
the Atlanta consolidated railway
finances indicates the faith New Eng
land creditors have in the south.
The modified plan of the Richmond
Terminal reorganization has been
approved by most of the security
holders. Large land sales in Texas
and in the suburbs of Georgia and
South Carolina towns Indicate much
greater activity in the real estate
market. Among the more import
ant projects developed during the
week are the sixty mile extension of
Savannah, Americas and Montgom-
ery railroad to be built at a cost of
$500, 900; a 81 900, 900 company to
build an electric road between Balti-
more and Washington; a company
to build telephone line 1877 miles
long in Arkansas; a 100000 coal
mining company; q 100000 fac
tory and large combination build
ing in West Virginia; water works

when suddenly the blaze fickered aud
diminished to a spark. We examined
the wick and oil and finding them ia
good condition we proceeded in
every conceivable way to start the

we were doomed to darkness the
remainder of the night, we set about
preparing to retire when to our great
surprise light flashed up as suddenly
as it had gone out and we have never
seen a steadier or more brilliant
light in our life and there has been
pothing wrong with it since. Will
some scientifcai scholar throw light
on this mysterious problem?

THE COST OF GOVERNMENT.
The People Now Burdened With About
$780, 100000 Annually.

TOOU,OUO,OOO ktnDu8uY
From the Wilmington Messenger.
The Messenger has many times in
previous discussions pointed out the
vast increase in expenditures as COM
pared with the increased in population
of the United States. 1t has shown
that in 1860, James Buchanan, a
Democratic President expended less
than $50, 100000 when the country
had 81 100000 of people. Now
with some 67,0OO,O00 Of population
the people are burdened with about
$500, 100000 annually. Extrava-
gance has got possession of politi.
clans OF both parties. The Demo
Gratis may be q little more inclined to
retrench than the wasteful Republi-
cans, but the idea OF rigid economy
is entirely foreign to the leaders in
either party when they get Office.
Factl They are all trench dousIy
gifted with a consuming desire to
spend other peoples money! Ifyou
say the Government ought not to
cost the people more than $780,
100000 exclusive of pensions, you
are laughed at as simpleton and are
told it can not be done. 1t could b.
done If the right men were in the
Congress and in charge of the Gov
eminent. If the Senate were COM
posed of Nathaniel Macons-that
wise old h1nest North Carolinian-
and Hoimans the faithful watch
dog ot-.tAe rYreasury" who was
sneered at and derided by the MASTERS
and despoilers of the people-there
would be such a reduction in two
years as to give relief and hope and
joy to the people.
Let US see how the population has
increased and how the expenditures
have increased within forty-three
years. The Treasury Department

A London paper offered a prize for

five thousand answers were given.
Some OF the best were the following:
The blossom of which heaven is the

A world Of strife shut out, world
of love shut in.
Where you are treated best and
grumble most.
The fathers kingdom, the chill
dren's paradise, the mothers world.
The best place for IL married man
after business hours are over.
The place where the great are
sometimes small and the small often
great.
The jewel casket containing the
most precious OF all jewels-domestic
happiness.
The Coolest. kindest, sweetest place
in all the world, the essence of our
purest earthly joys and deepest sor-
rows.
TIE only spot on earth where the
faults and fallings OF fallen hnmani-
ty are hidden under the mantle o.
charity.
A little hollow scOped out OF the
windy hill of the world where we can
be shielded from It's cares and annoy
ances.
A hive in which, like theindustrious
bee, youth garners the sweets and
memories OF lite for age to mediate
and feed upon.
An abode in which the inmate, the
superior being called man." can pay
back at night, with fifty per cent.
interest, every annoyance that has
met iGl n business during the day.
That source of comfort which

desire, which the middle aged gener-
ally possess, which the old rightly

go out now, but hopes the Captain
will soon recover.
There was some good tobacco on

Farmers are very busy this nice
weather preparing their lands for a
crop and some are just now burning
their plant bees. The weed is so low
it took some of them quite while to
decide to make another crop.

Per Capita

The war between 1860 and 1870
ran up the expenditures very high.
But in 1898, every man, woman and
child is taxed 1913, whereas in the
peaceful, happy days of 1910, the
tax was but $1.42. In 1860, under
Buchanan, with a population of over
81 100000 it was but 50 OIL. Who
will not sigh for the times and its
fruits of evil and long for return OF
the prosperous days of low taxes and

From the Statewide Mascot.

From the Statewide Mascot.
In view of Senator Ransom's
course in regard to the silver ques
ton, and in view of the active oppo-
sition to him that exists in various
parts of the State, the question
comes home to every Democrat, Can
the party afford to make him an
issue? If the party tie to hun it will
have to revise it's silver platform,
and the same is true of any individu-
al who commits himself to support
the Senator for reelection. If the
party wants to decide the senator
ship at the November election, it will
do well to take up a man whose
views are in harmony with party
declarations. But the better course
would be to elect a legislature with
out pledges other than those implied
in allegiance to Democratic principles
and doctrine.
