Outwitting an Indian.

Fighters OF Indians need to be men Of
quick wit and q steady hand. Such q
man was John Hawks, one Of the set.
tiers Of Hadley. Mass. An exploit Of this
pioneer in 1876 is narrated by the his
tOrian Of Deerfield. The Indians had
made an attack upon Hatfield, and
troops from other towns had gone to the
rescue. Among the men from Hadley
was John Hawks.
Soon after the Hadley men got ashore
John Hawks, who was behind q tree,
heard some one call him by name. A
Pocuhtuck Indian, who had taken Q
position behind another tree, had recog-
nized Hawks as an old acquaintance.
Hawks returned the compliment, and
each man began haunting the other ard
daring his enemy to come into the open
and fight the thing ont.
The Indian had the best of it and
was perfectly aware of his advantage.
At any moment some Of the gathering
Indians were likely to come up behind
Hawks and force him out of his cover.
Under such circumstances of course the
Indian was in no haste to expose him
SELF
However, the white man was not
blind to the danger of his own situa-
tion. Something must be done, and that
speedily. He knew what his adversary
counted upon, and that gave him his
clew
All at once he sprang from behind his
tree and leveled his gun as if to repel
an attack from another direction. The
Pocumtuck took the bait and sprang for
ward. He would capture Hawks the mo-
ment his gun was empty.
Quick as thought the white man
wheeled, and before the Indian could
raise his gun or reach his cover gave
him fatal shot. 1t was all the work of
q few seconds, and Hawks, though
wounded in the ensuing fight, lived to
fight other battles.

singular Discovery.

An English author says that man of
middle age with whom he is acquainted
found one Of his eyes affected, as he
thought. by reading small print at night
and applied to famous oculist for ad-
vice. The doctor examined him very
carefully and presently inquired wheth-
er he had ever suffered any inconven-
fence from the other eye, the right one.
None whatever" was the reply
"Still, said the Oculist dryly, "it is
very important for you to preserve the
sight Of your left eye, inasmuch as you
have never seen with the other since
you were born!'-Youth's Companiou.

THE LESSONS OF THE FAIR.

The fair is now well under way. The
various exhibits are in lace. The crowds
are here. The formal opening was made
yesterday.
The chief exhibits are of stock and
manufactured goods. And these point
the way of progress for North Carolina.
Cattle and manufactures are what we
need. Cattle means fertile land, home
supplies, dairy produce, good beef for
food, and oxen for draught. Manufac'
lures mean home markets for home sup
plies with cash to pay for them.
North Carolina is especially suited for
cattle raising and for manufacturing
while the cold North is wanting for d
during the long winters to keep the cat
tie from losing flesh. We can add fat
and flesh to ours while strikes and cold
and rents are driving Northern mill
operatives to poverty. The Southern
operatives are happy and prosperous.
The lessons of the Fair are Cattle anc
Mauufac urers.

THE PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD.

The session of the Synod of the Pres
byterian church of North Carolina at
Fayetteville this week is a gathering OF
much interest. 1t represents more than
thirty thousand Christians, who are
second to none in good work. Mr..
Spurgeon says that whenever he needs a
thousand dollars to advance any good
cause, he is always sure of getting three
fourths of it from the Presbyterians.
From its earliest history, the Presby-
terians have ever been foremost in pro
noting religious, educational and civil
liberty in North Carolina. They wrote
and signed the Declaration Of Indepen-
dence; they established schools wherever
they preached, and for the first fifty
years of its existence, it was mainly
Presbyterian scholarship that developed
and made the University; and in every
movement for morality and good govern
ment they have been first among the
foremost.

ONE THOUGHTLESS HOUR
HOW A GLAD VACATION WAS
FOLLOWED By BITTER
PAIN.
4 TREACHER0US ENEMY.

A Common Experience and the Lesson
IL Contains tor People Fond of Living
Out of Doors.
A young man in Philadelphia was
fatally injured not long ago by so limo
cent a thing as a cuff button. He fell
in such a manner that the button was
driven deep into the flesh of his wrist.
The wound though painful, was not con-
sdered dangerous, and no great pre-
caution was considered necessary until
signs of lockiaw appeared. Then, of
course, all treatment was useless.
This is one example of the power for
mischief of little things. Here is another
less dramatic, but more common, and
therefore more impressive. People who
went from town to country in the beau
tiful summer of 1895 delighted to spend
most of their time out of doors. They
even lay on the soft grass at night,
watching the stars and enjoying the cool
breeze. If, upon rising, man found his
back stiff, he said, II must have been in
one position too long" If the stiffness
persisted until the next day he said, 81
guess | must have taken little cold"
But now vacations are over and the
autumn is we'll advanced. That sore
ness and weakness in the lower part of
the back continue and with them are
other disorders. Shivering and fever
alternate, there is an unC0uquerable
feeling of lassitude at times, the urine is
Opaque and sometimes bloody. the skin
is pallid and the face blOated just beneath
the eyes. Digestion is poor and app8
tite almost gone.
Let us look the matter in the face
without flinching. This is more than a
little cold, although in the beginning it
was only sudden checking of the action
of the skin and kidneys. Nov it is the
dreaded Bright's disease, a foe to life
quite as deadly as consumption. Common
sense would dictate that no time be lost
in vain regrets that more prudence was
not exercised in the country. Let us find
a remedy, if we can.
We are fortunate to know that War
ner's Safe Cure will bring back health
and energy, and the normal action of the
kidneys. 1t is the function of the kid
neys to expel from the system broken
down tissues in the form of urea and uric
acid, together with certain salts that
have done their work. No other organ
than the kidneys can rid the body of this
death laden matter Congested, infam-
ed kidneys act as a drain to keep poison
in the system.
What makes Warmers Safe Cure the
wonder and admiration of the medical
profession, is its power to soothe the in
Illumination in the kidneys and to ajlay
the congestion so that the urine, once
more healthy in color and consistency,
carries away the waste freely and
promptly.
One does not necessarily die soon of
Bright's disease. He may lead a miser-
able, uncertain invalid life for years.
But what weary dragging years they
are Let the sufferer shake off his bur
den of sickness and suspense. He will
fad hope and health in Warmers Safe
Cure.

WHAT THE SOUTH PAYS.

President Dreher, of Roanoke College,
in a recent address, shows that tax rate
that would give New England a school
term of ten months will give only three
and third months in the South; that
the Southern people are paying exactly
as much in proportion to wealth to the
support of public schools as the people
of New England; and the white people
are paying much more because they have
to pay toward the colored schools as well
as their own. These facts ought to serve
as a stimular to further endeavor as
well as a qualification that in its poverty
the South has MADE more progress than
in its wealth, and is now behind no sec
ton in proportion to its ability.

far,ned this wear and live as they have for
two or three years they will soon be the
most prosperous people in the world"
Those who are familiar with the re-
cent history of the farmers of Georgia
will endorse this opinion.-Atlanta
Journal.
The late Senator Vance once said that
if the people Of North Carolina could
live one year as they lived during the
war, they would become almost at
bound prosperous. ''What we need to
get out of bad conditions is war economy
without war times, " is another way of
stating the truth. During the past three
years there has been greater economy
among the people (part oft enforced by
low prices than heretofore, and the re-
suit is that they are in better condition
than when the prices Of products were
higher, because North Carolina has
come to be unit for giving hog and
hominy the first place and money crops

The Richmond Times wants to know
if the people of the United States will
fight the civilized world to enforce the
Monroe doctrine. Its opinion is that
there is much clustering among fin
goists about the Monroe doctrine, but
that the people know nothing about it
and care nothing about it. Here is
where the Times is mistaken. 1t is the
people who believe in the Monroe doe
trine and stand ready to enforce it. The
Times doubtless believes they are Gin
goists." If faith in that doctrine makes
men 'jingoists" most American are
"iingoists.
