A Cheerful Face
Henderson Gold Leaf.


There is no greater every day
virtue than cheerfulns SIS. This
quality i'll man among men IS
like sunshine to the day, or gen
tie renewing moisture to parch-
ed herbs. The light Of cheers
full face diffuses itself and COM
municates the happy spirit that
inspires it. The sourest temper
must sweeten III the atmosphere
Of continuous good humor. AS
we'll might fog and cloud and
vapor hope to cling to the sun>
illumed landscape, as the "blues"
and noroseness to combat jovlal
speech and ex.1ilarating laught~
er. Be cheerful always. There
is no path but will be easier trays
eled, 10 load but will be lighter,
no heart or brain but will lift
sooner in the presence Of a deter
mined cheertulness. 1t may at
times seem difficult for the hap
piest tempered to keep the coun-
tenance of peace and content, but
the difficulty will vanish when
we truly consider that sullen
gloom and passionate despair dc
nothing but multiply thorns anc
thicken SORROWS. 1t will come
to us providentially as good, /
we rightly apply its lessons.

A Wild Western Story.

A unique case has been
brought before a Kansas court.
A woman sent out invitations to
a party, and was compelled by
her husbands failure in business
to cancel the invitations. One
of the invited guests had bought
a new dress for the occasion, and
will sue the giver of the party
for damages upon the ground
that the money was spent be-
cause of false pretenses, as she
would ncver have bought the
dress if she hadn't been invited

Southern Labor VS.. Northern,

The Goldsboro ArgHS throws
ridicule, and we think correctly:
upon the idea that the South
cannot manufacture the finest
grades of cotton goods. 1t poluts
out the fact that the ablest mill
men of New England, the ones
who control its greatest enter
prises, freely admit Ill private
conversation, if not in public
that the South has every advan.
tage needed for the manufacture
of the finest goods and that the
operatives are fully equal to those
of New England.
The AxgAs goes further are
maintains that the truth is tha
the Southern operatives ar
much superior and that IN tn
South the operatives are nativ
Americans, quick to learn; Ii
New England the operatives ar
mostly of the lower classes
foreigners. To say that the LAT
ter are superior to the form
er would be absurd.

The following paragraph clip

at is a general belief among

Dug Wells a Source of Disease.

From the Ne7o Beyue JoWWaI
we clip the following: We have
lust come across a striking, con-
vincing and most remarkable eX-
ample of disease lurking IN the
clear and apparently good water
of a dug we'll and spreading cons
tagion and death throughout
neighborhood. The circumstance
is narrated in "Water Supply
a periodical whose mission OF
educating people along this ln-
portant line is indicated by its
name.
The incident narrated is that
some years ago farmer by the
name of Daniel Dodds living III
Washington County, Pa, took
typhoid fever and died. During
| his illness a neighbor came to
haul and cut some wood for him
and while at it drank water from
"dug" we'll near the house,
from which the family obtained
its supply. In a short time lie
took the fever and died.
The funeral of Mr.. Dodds was
attended by many Of the neigh
bors and the day being warm
manv of them drank Of the well
the water appearing to be clear
and fresh, some Of the more eau
tious did not drink Of it however
fearing contagion. OF the mum
Der who drank of the water It
afterward took the fever and sew
eral died of it. Of those presen
at the funeral who did rot drlnl
of it none took it. The abOV'
was given to the paper publish
ing it by a son of the man VIII
had kindly helped his nelghbo
and lost his lite by drinking Q
= the water.
Occurrences Of the above kin
are calculated to make peopl
think-often when it is too late
The fact is that no well c
e "spring" water which is come
e at-able by surface drainage
safely fit for drinking. Feve
, germs will remain dormant fc
months in cold water. Freezln
It seems to have no effect on then
e The only safe thing to do IS
e make certain that the source
e supply is from a depth total

Great Falling off in Fertilizer
Sales.

Farmers are buying less COM
mercial fertilizers this season
than usual. The assignment or
mortgage law passed by the last
Legislature had much to do with
this. but whether from inability
TO buv or a determination on
their part to make more of their
ua1,ures on the farm and thereby
add more to the permanent fer
tilitv of the land and at the same
have less money to pay out When
the crop is made, we hope 1t Will
he better for them in the end and
lead to the practice OF using
smaller quantities of the stuff IN
fnture. Some idea may be gath~
cred when it is stated that at the
State Agricultural department 1t
IS oivcn out that the balance
sheet at the first of April shows
the receipts for fertilizer tags are
$4,000 short Of the total at this
time last year. 1t will be dlfh-
cult to tell what the falling OFT
viii he before the season is over
It will be great.

Cashier J. R. Holland, of the

II, Bank, of Charlotte, n, e., IS a
1 ,.ron1ter to the amount of $780,

fa1cation. Mr.. Hollands pecu-
,o4;ons have been carried on for
e;ohtvcars past, and he has man =
oasd till the last few days to
1,;do them from discovery. The
ovoct amount of them is not yet
fully known.
Norman in Charlotte has i'll the
mast been held higher in regard
or been more fully trusted than
Mr. Holland, and the whole city
WAS greatly surprised and shocks
cd to hear of his c1nbezzlement.
Holland assured the bank Of
fci,1, that he would stand his
Ground. They trusted him. On
Tnesday night he disappeared as
afectualIv as if the earth had
Swallowed him up, 1t has since
developed that he was a torger'

amount of the shortage IS now
over $4,000 and still growing.
Monday night he sent for his
brother in-Iaw, Mr.. w. +. Shaw,
and the two together proceeded
through the deserted streets OF
the city during a drcary, steady
down-pour of rain, to the resi-
drnce of Bank President DR.. J..
H. McAddcn, where the eN- cash>
jer declared his intention of SUI
rendering himself to the author
tiles, prcferring this course to
the anxIeties consequent upon
an attempt to escape justice by
flight.

sioncr Maxwell proceeded to the
county Jail where Holland was
made comfortable III the Corrl~
dor by the sheriff.

hearing Tuesday and i'll making

markablc popularity was seen.

demanded bond of $4,000. A
scorc or more of Hollands friends
came forward and signihed then
wish to go on his bond. The
signatures for 900 each more

but when all who asked it hac
been allowed to sign the bond i
footed up a grand total OF SOL

TO TAKE BYRNE's PLACE.

Col Rice Is Prominently Mentioned
Endorsed by Gen. Miles.
New York, March S.--There is
considerable talk about the success
sorship of Police Superintendent
Byrnes and the names OF a number
OF prominent members have been
mentioned. The idea seems to pre-
vail that the place will be filed by
a military man OF more or less re-
nown.
Major Andrews has been mention
ed, but he expresses himself as well
pleased with his Police Commission
ership and denies having an eye on
Byrnes' place.
1t now looks, however, as IL Col.
Edmund Rice of the Fifth United
States Infantry, organizer and CON-
mander OF the Columbian Guards at
the Worlds Fair, would get the
place. The mention OF his name
has met with favorable comment.
Perhaps no one was more pleased
than Major General Nelson A. Miles,
Commander OF the Department OF
the East. "Colonel Rice" said the
General, "is one OF the best fitted
men for such q position to be found
in the army. He is not only an eI-
cellent organizer, but a thorough
discipliDarian.
when Congress authorized the
designation OF an army officer TO
organize and command a force OF
men required to protect the pro-
perty at the Worlds Fair l named
Colonel Rice, because ! knew him
to be eminently fitted for such an
undertaking. He organized a uni
formed police force, a FIRE brigade
and a special police, numbering al
together about 1000 men, and the
manner in which they disposed OF
the enormous crowds and afforded
protection to the immense properi y
was favorably commented upon by
every one " no visited the Fair.
Il don't know, of course, whether
or not Colonel Rice would accept
the position if it were rendered to
him, but | would remind you that
you have such excellent men right
in the city as Admiral Erbeu, Ad-
miral Gherardi aud General Com

of Seventy said: 81 have not had

Rice's famous organization in Chi
cago as | had hoped. l am in favor
OF military man at the head OF our
department, and from all 1 hear
about Colonel Rice il is that sort OF
a man that is wanted"
Notwithstanding the strong fight
which DR.. Parkburst is making
against Byrnes there is still a.likeli.
hood that he will be chosen to sue
coed himself
DR.. Parkhurst says that Colonel
Rice's name was being considered by
men whose opinions are listened to,
but he said he was not at libety yet
to name the Colonel's sponsors. Il
do not wish it to be Inferred" said
he, shat am for Colonel Rice
alone. There are probably other
military men as we'll fitted for the
position, but l mention his name
now to answer he question that may
arise, If Byrnes goes out, who will
replace him,' Byrnes must go out'
