Rules for Successful Farming.

North Carolina Farmer.
1. Never purchase land on credit,
unless it be in new country in
which values rise rapidly.
2. Keep no more live stock than
you can keep in good condition.
B. Never allow your stock to
suffer from cold housing them in
open buildings. Comfortable quar-
tiers saves ODe-fourth of the feed.
4. If your farm is so large that
you can not cultivate all of it to
advantage, nor keep it we'll fenced,
sell part of it and put the money
on interest. You will save a great
deal of care and make more money
than if all of it be planted and poor
ly cultivated.
5. Look we'll to your orchards,
remembering that it costs no more
to make apples at so cents a bushel
than to make those that sell for II
cents each.
6. Keep none but the best imple-
ments, of which you can take good
care. When not in use keep them
from exposure to weather and rogues.
z. Always keep stable or lot work
on hand for a rainy day. For this
purpose it is better to provide a
suitable workshop with an abund-
ance of suitable tools. Rainy days
properly employed would result in
the greatest profit. Good farmers
never will lack for work.
8. When piece Of work nee DIS
being done, do it now; and when you
do it, do it well.
Rich Gems of North Carolina.
Wilmington Messenger.
North Carolina is greatly blessed.
1t has more variety of climate, soil,
|; crops and products of all kinds than

travel from Currituck to Cherokee
some 500 miles-you will see more
variety of scenery than you can find
in any other of the forty-five States
1t is the best watered and has the
grandest mountains and scenery OF
any State this side of the Rockies
In North Carolina diamonds, rubies,
| sapphires, amethysts, emeralds, tur-
guoise, garnets and other precious
stones are found. In fact every
| stone mentioned in the Book OF
Revelation as the foundations of the
wall of the Heavenly City (Revela
ton xxi. 1920 have been found in
this goodly State of North Carolina
They are jasper, sapphire, chalce
dony, emerald, sardonyx, sardius
chrysolite, beryl, topaz, chryso
prasus, jacinth and amethyst. We
make this statement upon the
authority of a statement made in &
Boston paper during it's Fair held
some twelve or fifteen years ago. Ii
was distinctly stated that these

Care of the Home.

How many homes there are in
which more care is lavished upon
expensive adornments than upon the
free, everyday comforts and bless
ings of naturel There are many
women who, with the best intention
for the care of their houses and their
children, still commit one heinous,
hygienic sin by what may not be
inaptly called furniture worship"
and so careful are they of carpets,
sofa coverings, and curtains, that
some rooms in their houses are
maintained in a cellar-like darkness
except tor short intervals when they
are thrown open for company" If
one thing is more certain than an
other, it is the fact that all sorts of
microscopic growths love the dark
ness. One has only to search dark
spot in the forest to find myriads of
them, and dark, sunless closets and
corners come a close second with
molds, and, if we examine carefully,
a dust filled with spores Exchange.

just Up and Kissed Him.


A young lady in st. Joseph, Mo-,
met a young farmer on the street
the other day and took him in her
arms and kissed MIN before he knew
what was going on. She said in re-
lation to the affair:
II never saw the young man be-
fore, and I knew he was a stranger
before kissed him; but I couldn't
help it. When l turned around my
eyes met his, and he looked sc good,
so noble, and so true, that wanted
to kiss him. I didn't think; there
was no time to think. I only knew
that had met a real man, and
wasn't sure that would see another
one."

woman, what are the innocent good
men to do? They will be afraid to
walk the streets without some kind
of a protection, and handsome mar
ried men will be kept in perfect
state of agitation.

An Educational Mistake.

An Educational Mistake.
Atlanta Constitution.
This is a superficial age, and the
business of the world is very largely
carried on by men who cannot claim
to be even half educated.
We have yielded to the temptation
to rush things, and as a natural
consequence we fail to do anything
thoroughly. This failing of ours is
perhaps more conspicuous iii our
educational methods than in any
thing else. Our old-fashioned mer
chants frequently complain that
some of the graduates of schools
and colleges who take positions in
their counting rooms cannot write d
good letter, and are ignorant of
common matters OF geography, and
are not proficient in the simpler
branches of arithmetic.
The trouble is that too many
educators, parents and pupils are in
hurry. They try to force things,
and adopt the dollhouse system of
culture.
We are in such haste to erect a
snowy superstructure with it's gim-
crack ornaments that we do not
give enough time and labor to the
laying of solid foundation. Many
schools neglect reading, spelling,
writing, geography, grammar and
arithmetic, and hurry their pupils
into studies which they are not pre-
pared to take up intelligently and
profitably. The result is that We
have legions of young people who
have a smattering of the classics,
higher mathematics and several
"ologies," without understanding
the fundamental rules of arithmetic
aud without being able to write a
| respectable letter or answer an
ordinary question in geography,
grammar and history.
This will never do. A good educa-
tional foundation is of the highest
Importance. With it, a boy can go
out into the world, and build upon
it, and by his own efforts make him
self d well educated man. But,
without this foundation, the gaudy
superstructure is fatally defective,
and it's gliding will never entirely
hide the unsightly cracks which will
appear from time to time.

CAPT. A. ID. CowLEs INSANE.
He Attacks tho Hotel Proprietor and
Then Threatens to Kill Himself.

DURHAM, Sept. Capt. Andrew
D. Cowles, of Statesville, who has
been at the Carolina for a month,
became insane today about 4 o'clock
m. He picked up sharp Ratchet
which was being used by some car
penters who were at work making
some changes in the Office of the no
tel, and made an assault on Alphon-
so Cobb, clerk of the hotel Young
Cobb ran. Cowles then started to-
ward Mr. Howell Cobb, proprietor of
the hotel, with the Ratchet drawn.
Mr.. Cobb picked up a lamp and
struck him squarely in the face with
it, thereby dazing him. The carpen-
tiers and employees of the hotel rush
ed to the rescue of Or. Cobb, and
rushed at Cowles with such weapons
as lay at hand, and Cowles ran in
the wash room and shut himself in.
The police were called by telephone
and went to wol k to disarm the man
at once; but he stood just inside the
door and threatened to use the
Ratchet on the first man that came
in reach. A crowd of at least three
hundred were soon on the ground,
and great excitement prevailed.
After many futile attempts TO get
hold of the man, the Ratchet was
lassoed and jerked from his hand.
He was seized and taken to the sta
ton house and locked up. While in

TO BURY HER DEAD BABE.
A Child-Mother's Appeal to Mayor
SutrO'S Generosity.
Alone and Friendless, a Girl Seeks to
Place Her Babe Beneath the
Ground With Care.

Mayor Sutro had a sad case of restitution
and sorrow presented for his consideration
yesterday.
Rosie Destafno, 17-year-old girl, called
at the City Hall and asked for assistance
in her dire extremity.
My baby is dead and 1 have no mouey
with which to bury it." she said, land I
come to you for help, | know you will aid
me and have my little one given decent
burial"
With her features contracted, lines of
sorrow furrowing her pale cheeks, the
child-mother stood before the city's chief
executive and pleaded for the interment of
her child. She said she lived on Union
place, but had no one upon whom to call
for help. The little waif was born thirteen
days ago, but no father stood to welcome
his offspring.
That was her misfortune. She was too
confding. Now in her weakened condition
she was compelled to apply to strangers
for Christian treatment.
With tears streaming down her pale lace
the young mother left for the undertakers:
She is not above the average schoolgirl
stature, but her careworn features are
prettily nodded. When her story had been
told to the undertaken her troubles had not
ended; she was required to produce certifi-
cate of DEATH Through the kindness of DR..
Eidenmuller this she secured, and will be
enabled to see her little one inferred in
Potters' field this morning, and then she
will again take up the burden OF her life.

A BRAVE LITTLE WOMAN
She Puts a Bold RObber to
Flight.
Mrs. Charles Mines Protects Her Home
Against a FelOniOus
Intruder.

A daring robbery was frustrated on the
summit of Mob Hill last night by the
bravery of young woman. Shortly before
10 o'clock Mrs. Mines, wife of Charles
Mines, one of the telegraph editors OF
morning paper, was startled by hearing
glass breaking in front of her house, 8
Pleasant street.
The lady instead of becoming alarmed
at the noise Immediately took up revolver
and started an investigator. Through a
window she discovered the outlines of S
heavily built man endeavoring to effect an
entrance into the house.
Perceiving that the individual was intent
on burglary Mrs. Mines pointed the pistol
at the intruder and pulled the trigger. She
was thoroughly self-possessed, and if the
weapod had been discharged the ruffian
would have been winged, as she pointed
straight at the person. The lady made an
other effort to fire the weapon, but it
missed again, but in her effort she thrust
the pistol through the pane of glass. This
had the effect of soaring the burglar away.
He fed over a fence in the rear of the
house, and made good his escape in the
darkness.
An officer arrived on the scene soon after
and an investigation showed that the in
tending burglar had trimmed nearly all of
the putty off the window-sash, and but for
the noise of small broken piece of the
pane falling to the floor he would have OBJ
tanned an entrance into the house.. The

secure the other exits. The last man to
enter did sentinel duty at the iron door.
Before one could count sixty it was found
that the corridors had no outlet, except
into number of small rooms.
Right and left, strengthening girls
rushed out of them, and huddled around
an old bag who was sitting smoking an
opium pipe in the passageway The girls
had forgotten some of their clothing, but
they all had their pipes. They sat stohdly
smoking in their gorgeous robes OF SILK and
satin thrown on all awry, while they
watched us rushing from room to room,
stumbling over opium layouts, lifting up
the gorgeous sill1en coverings OF carved
beds, peering into narrow, dirty kitchens,
and climbing up ladders that led into little
sleeping dens under the roof.

alarm.
As the men reached the landing a mas
sive iron door was slammed in their faces,
lbut a shout and an imperious knock caused
a Chinaman to open it a little way and
peer through the chink. He was roughly
pushed aside, and the officers rushed into
the room, followed by the rest of the party.

Mr.. Clement did not like to hear any

it seemed to intimate that they were above

unkind and uncalled for.
While Mr.. Boyd was speaking Mr..
