Killed at Bellwood.

Francesca Lisantro, an italian who
has been employed at Walston for the
past nine years, started for his old
home in Italy last Thursday afternoon.
He was past the age Of sixty years, had
saved up six or seven hundred dollars,
and intended to live at ease in his ma
tive country. He also had fourteen or
fifteen hundred dollars belonging to
friends in this country with which he
was entrusted to take back. But his
dreams of happiness amongst the vine
clad hills of sunny Italy was suddenly
dispelled by death. When he reached
Bellwood, he started to cross the Main
Line tracks when the Chicago Limited
came along, struck him and killed him
instantly. y.-Punxsutawney Spirit.

Boys and girls. your "unce" wants to
talk with you little this week on mat
ters pertaining to punctuality, and
promptness In the work Of your literary
societies. We are afraid that mpny of
you are losing interest in literary work
and becoming lazy, as It were. Don't
do this. You can't expect your society
TO be success II you each one do not
take hold and help TO push IL along
You cannot expect two or three who
are interested TO shoulder all the work
and provide entertainment for the rest
Of you week after week That would
be very unreasonable, TO say the least
Take the parts assigned you cheerfully
and when your name is called respond
and have something to say no matter
how little. Show your willingness and
you will be surprised in short time to
find how easy it is to get up and say
something, and then TO think of how
much more pleasant and entertaining
your exercises will be TO everybody.
Try this, don't be a drone. The great
est orators, statesmen, jurists and
actors of the day had to make the same
beginning. Fame is not reached at a
single bound. Drop the 81 can't
whine and take up the ringing ~ will"
and success will attend you in all your
undertakings. BE prompt and punctual
not only in your society work but in
your school work as we'll. Don't allow
the anticipation Of the good time you
expect TO have at Christmas time to
drive from your minds the fact that
examination time is coming on. Be
punctual. In the great clock of time
there is but one word and that is
''now." "Now" Is the watchword of the
wise, 'now" is the banner of the pru-
dent Let us always keep this little
word uppermost in our minds, and
whenever we have any work to do, be
it mental or physical let us do it with
all our might, remembering that snow"
is the only time with which we have to
deal. You will find that putting it
off till tomorrow" is hard way of get
ting through the world. snow" is
ours: "then" may never come. Be
punctual, patient and persevering.
Look on the bright side; it is the best.
Hard times may come, but it will not
make them easier by wearing sad coun-
tenance. 1t is sunshine that makes the
flower. Don't forget that the sky is
blue ten times where it is black once,
and there is always something around
us which should cheer us. Think OF
these things, boys and girls, be studious
and good and you will be happy.

LET US CREATE PROSPERITY.

The Baltimore Manufacturers Rec
ord gives cur people the following ex
Cellent adv .ca:
All through the South there are towns
having excellent natural advantages,
towns in which money is lying prac-
tically idle, bringing little or no profit
to its owners and doing no good to the
community. If every such town in the
South could be inspired with some of
the hustling qualities which have made
Atlanta, and which are to day bringing
to the front Rome, Ca, now one of the
most conspicuous places in the South,
because of it's C sin capturing great
cotton mills, hundreds of towns
throughout the South would quickly
spring into life and activity. The
South has the ability and the money to
build up its own Industrial interests.
1t ought to be more independent, more
~selt-reliant, and its people ought to
unite and through active cooperation
gather into manufacturing enterprises
it's now unutilized capital, and thus
cease to depend upon outside men and
outside money. There is scarcely a
of 1000 people in the South which
could not raise $25, 900 or $50, 900 or
800, 600 of local money for the purpose
of starting Industrial enterprises; but
there is too much lack of public spirit
and broad minded energy in many of
these towns.
That is precisely what the Constitu-
ton has said time and again. We
cannot expect to sit down with folded
hands and see outside capitalists rush
in and buy permission to utilize our
natural advantages. Capitalists are
cautious and suspicious. They will
ask why we do not back our faith with
our money. They will say that if fac
tories pay big dividends in the South
our people should club together and
build them
Fortunately, the Southern people are
beginning to carry out this policy. In
North Carolina many factories have
been built upon the co operative plan,
and South Carolina is keeping pace
with her sister State. North Cardinals
mills have home capital to the extent
of SO per cent. invested in them.
If we keep up this showing in our in
dustries it will not be necessary for us
to offer outside capital extraordinary

a house,. The fact that he did disturb
the peace and quiet of the house was
no palmer established in this case than
it was in the church case, still the poor
fellow was found guilty. The Judge
on the bench looked at the jury over
his left shoulder and remarked that
the jury did not seem to take the same
view as to the disturbance of the peace
in a church and a baudy house. So the
the two cases ended in the so called
court of justice. Now where are we

bad for heaven. Is it not likely that

Constitution.
We fully agree with what our cotem-
poraries have written above. But
there are many other industries that
may be started with less capital than
is needed for even a small cotton mill,
and yet be just as profitable and as
beneficial. That reminds us that the
contemplated Alliance shoe factory is
not running on full time yet, and that
some of the stock has not yet been paid
in. But it is coming. The recent
county meetings show that the interest
has not abated. Don't let the ball stop
rolling. The way to get a shoe factory
or anything else is to start it.
