We should follow the German prac-
tice of caring for the unfortunate at
our gates, especially the children.
Each neighborhood would see to it that
out of neighborhoOd purses, if need be,
should spring the day-nursery and the
kindergarten to house the little ones
who are daily left to themselves or
their vicious older companions.
The neighbOring city of Oakland has
9 o'clock curfew TO call the children
home to bed. The bells first stroke
sends them scurryingI through the
streets like rats fleeing from a hostile
pussy cat, only the children's pussy is
a stalwart siX-footer, and no quadru-
ed: Why have we women not fol-
lowed in Oakland's wake? Why is
there no petition before the Legislature,
no bill drafted to meet this evil? Why
have we no 9 o'clock curfew TO cage
these young night owls who now fly
about our streets till midnight?

AT last accounts the struggling Wo-
mans Exchange had not where to lay
its head. Our club would give it a
permanent home, and its rent would
go into our treasury. 1t would then be
a nucleus for lectures on cookery, chem
istry of food, marketing, sanitary
housekeeping and the fine art of econ
omy or managing.
What possibilities loom up before u.s.
There are city improvements to be sug-
gested, cruelty to animals to be re-
ported, industrial classes and lecture
courses to be established, and some
systematic attempt at social purity to
be made. AS for the stranger. (?) who
smokes in our tram cars, we should
Danish him from all but the open cars
and limit him to the rear seat. If I
must be made miserable. / would rather
take my chances with an island steam
er than with the cigar smoked by the
average individual in a tram!
We could start saving banks for
school children and women who are self
supporting. In connection with them
we could have talks on the history.
value and economy of money, and the
responsibility that comes to it's pos
SCISSORS.
Above all there should be club room
pure and simple, place where any
women and girls in the city might come
and be sure of cordial welcome: where
they might have sympathetic and in
spring conversation. reading. music
or games.

ROYAL Arcanunn.

AS efforts are being made to organ
ize a Council of Royal Arcanum in
Henderson, nearly enough names hav-
ing already been received to institute
iD the following will be of interest just
now. At the seventh annual session
of the Grand Council Royal Arcanum,
recently held, the report of the Grand
Regent showed the order to be in
a very prosperous condition in this
State with an increase liz membership,
Notwithstanding the financial depres-
sion.
1t is one of the very best fraternal
orders in existence. Organized 19
years ago, it now numbers over 49,
900 members, and has paid out to wild
ows and orphans during that period
over s35, 100000. It has Is Councils
in this State, with 1900 members who
rank among the very best citizens in
every town and city where there is a
Council. 1t carries the cheapest and
safest insurance feature of any other

The Philosophy of Advertising.

The Philosophy of Advertising.
In the continuity ofadvertising is the
good of it.
In the continuity of advertising is the
strength of it.
To break the advertising connection
is to break trade connection.
Trade connection can be broken, adj
vertising connection can be broken and
the house still remain successful, but
the shrewd business man is not satisfied
with the minimum of success. He is
everlastingly striving for the maximum
of success.
When he cuts expenses he cuts pro-
portionately everywhere.
He does not stop advertising.
He advertses little less perhaps,
but he advertises.
He never allows the medium he uses
to go to press without the mention of
his name and OF his business.
He advertises in off-season in order
that the people may be better prepared
to appreciate his efforts in season.
He keeps everlastingly at advertis-
ing, and wins.-Hdrdrdre.
Thomson can show beautiful line of
Organdies and Summer Serges.

PATRIOTIC APPEAL.
Funds Called for With Which to Mark
the Graves of Our Confederate Dead
at Winchester, Va.

Funds Called for With Which to Mark
the Graves of Our Confederate Dead
at Winchester, Va.
The women OF the State have formed
themselves into an association with Mrs.
Armistead Jones as president, to raise
funds to place headstones over the North
Carolina dead in the Confederate ceme-
| terry at Winchester, Va. l have under
taken to collect the contributions of
Vance Co. Mrs. Shannon, Mrs. Gilmer,
Mrs. Burgwyn, Mrs. E. 6. Davis and
Mrs. D. Y. Cooper have been invited to
assist me in Henderson. Mr.. Hines, at
| the Citizens Bank, will also receive con-
| tributiOns.
There are 44S graves, but as the grave
OF Col. Blacknall will be suitably marked
by q member OF his own family, there are
AT headstones needed. A contract can
be made for these at %. so apiece, total
raised 500, and has begun on the Sec
stripped by her.
Duty more sacred or more urgent than
the marking of these graves rests not
upon Mort ID Carohnians. Many OF these
| men went forth to battle from our very
OF our mothers that bade them go forth
and do valiantly and that living or
dead, then and forever they should be
our first and highest care. With this
promise ringing in their ears they left
peaceful homes to find in our defence
| alien and bloody graves.
How has that promise been kept?
| Nearly third of a century has passed
since our nobler sisters Of Winchester,
Va, gathered into their great Stonewall
Cemetery the known remains OF 44S OF
our fallen braves. As they were in lar
ger number than the dead OF any other
State, with beautiful consideration, they
| were accorded tho post of honor, the
front and most prominent plat in the
whole place. The Winchester women
rested not till head-board bearing the
name and command of the occupant was
placed over every grave in the cemetery.
All this accomplished they invited each
State to come forward and mark per-
manently the graves of her own dead.
With one sole exception every State re-
sponded long ago. North Carolina was
that exception. 1t is to remove this
stigma from the fair name OF our moth
er, the State, that this Association has
been formed.
For q generation these men, our kith
and kin, these men whose swords we may
be said to have buckled on have lain with
only frail head-boards between their
names and oblivion. We must now de-
eide whether or not this neglect is to
continue and to become irremediable.
We must now decide whether posterity
shall know that North Carolina soldiers
or only common clay underlies the spot
OF honor in this great Southern Valhalla.
1t would be treason to the patriotism
and constancy of his State to doubt
| that this decision can be other than the
right decision and do not doubt it..

lfe-like portrait of the South's great
military leader, and one of the greatest
of Americans, was printed especially for
the Popular Monthly by the we'll known
New York artist, Mr.. Warren B. Davis,
and is pronounced by Gen. Lees friends,
and by these who knew him intimately,
as the best likeness ever published"
This admirable work OF art serves as q
frOntispiece to the May number of the
magazine.
1t is issued in connection with the
great Lee series OF articles now running
in Flank Leslies Popular Monthly, and
which are attracting such widespread at
tention. This series began in the Feb
ruary number with an article, by Mrs.
Roger A. Pryor. on General Lees anees-
tors, and will be continued for some
months yet Among the distinguished
people who are aiding and contributing
to this series are General G. w. Gusts

Death of Mrs. GOOch.

"Thou shalt come to thy grave in a
full age, like shock of corn cometh in
his season. That promise, given to
the patient patriarch of old, was full
filled in the life Of Mrs. Salie w.
Gooch, SO we'll known in this commu-
nifty, who entered into rest at $50
O'Clock Saturday morning.
Mrs. Gooch had been an invalid a
long time. About two years ago she
was paralyzed on one side, and her
condition was then such it was thought
by her friends that she could live but
short while and her daughter, Mrs.
Simpson, of Westminster, Md, was
summoned to her bedside. She rallied,
however, and although not restored
to health she still had enough of
strength to sit in an invalid's chair and
be taken on the street and visit friends
and attend church occasionally. In
deed, she was at church the last Sunday
of her life.
Tuesday another stroke OF paralysis
came on when the beginning of the
end was clearly visible. She fingered
until Saturday morning receiving all
the care and comfort her relatives and
friends could bestow, and then as one
going to sleep she quietly breathed her
last. Conscious to the end she readily
recognized those about her and her
death was as rest from labor.
Her daughter, the wife of Rev. S.
Simpson, of Western Maryland Col
lege, arrived Thursday morning and
with her brother, Mr.. L. R. Gooch,
was constantly at the bedside of the
loving and devoted mother. Her
youngest son Prof. Geo. w. Gooch, of
California, was not able to be with
her in her last moments. Mrs. Gooch
was the youngest Of the large family
of Geo. w. Harris, and was the favor
lite aunt of every niece and nephew
in the connection. Her life was con-
slant benediction on all her associates
and her death will be sincerely mourn
ed by many.
The funeral was held from the Meth
odist Protestant church, of which de-
ceased had long been a consistent
member, at O'Clock Sunday after
noon, Rev. G. L. Whitaker, of Kit
trell, conducting the service. In
Elmwood Cemetery, Henderson's beau
tiful "City Of the Dead,' the body
was laid to rest in the presence of
a large concourse of relatives and
friends

Food, undigested is poison. Digested,
It's life and strength. Millions of us suffer
from indigestion, but we often don't know
it. We think it is something else. Even
doctors often mistake the symptoms.

who need strength, who seem in want Of
proper food, should take Shaker Digestive
Cordial. 1t is astonishing what food will
do, when properly digested.

fresh you, sustain you, make you tat, re-
store your color, make muscle, brain fibre,
courage, endurance, energy. increase your
power to throw off disesae and keep you
healthy and happy.
Indigestion does just the opposite, but
indigestion can be cured and prevented
with Shaker Digestive Cordial.

A Young Life Ended.

Mrs. Maud Bum Nutall, whose Sc
rious and protracted illness has hereto
fore been mentioned in these columns,
found surcease from sickness and saf-
fering at twenty minutes to seven
O'Clock Tuesday evening and her gen.
tie spirit winged its fight to the God
who gave it. She had been sick just
three months to the day, during which
time she was great and constant suf-
ferer. Her case had enlisted the pray
ers and sympathies of the entire COM
munity and her friends never forgot to
ask about her or ceased to hope for her
recovery until the brittle thread was
snapped asunder AID she passed away
from them forever.
During al! these days and weeks and
months of weary suffering Mrs. Nutall
bore her Affections with Christian for
titude and patience. She fully realized
her condition and painful as was the
thought of separation from her devoted
young husband, a1fectionate father and
mother, loving brothers and sisters and
other loved ones, she was ready and
willing when the summons came, hav-
ing committed her keeping to Him
''who doeth all things WE'LL" She made
brave fight against death and al
though there has for some time seemed
to be little upon which to base hope
that she would triumph over the fell
destroyer, the news of her demise sad
dened the hearts of all who knew and
loved her.
Mrs. Nutall was daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Robert Bum, and the wife
of Mr.. Edward Nutall, of Henderson.
She was young woman Of lovely
character and amiable disposition,
whose list of friends was numbered by
her circle Of acquaintance. Her life
was that of consistent Christian and
ardent worker in the church and Sum-
day-school. She would have been 81
years old in August.
The funeral was held from the Pres
byterian church, Of which she was a
member, at $3.50 O'Clock Wednesday
afternoon, Rev. w. T. Walker, of Nut
bush, conducting the service. The
large congregation present, com posed
of all denominations of the town, not
withstanding that the rainy and threat
ening condition of the weather, was a
silent but eloquent tribute to the high
esteem in which the deceased was held,
and the deep sympathy felt for the
family and other relatives.
In the gathering shadows of the dy-
ing day the body was lovingly laid to
rest in the windowless home of the
dead at Elmwood Cemetery. And
there beneath of bank of roses it was
left to await the resurrection morn.
