THE STORY OF AARON.

From many sources we hear high
praise Of the STORY of Aaron" by Joel
Chandler Harris, which is appearing by
installments. Quite number of sub
scribers read the stories aloud to their
children, and paste them in scrap
books, and we know one youth who has
pasted every line and every illustration
in neat blank book. Seldom have we
given our readers so delightful a story.
A recent issue of the Atlanta Constitu-
ton contained the following interest
ing incident bearing on the story:
Joel Chandler Harris story, Aaron,
attracted the attention of Miss Leach,
Of Munsey's Magazine, and she recently
wrote TO the author asking for informa-

Aaron, and it occurred to the young
lady that he might be the hero Of Mr..
Harris story.

figure Of the narrative which bears his
name. Aaron was an Arab of high rank

PLAN O. PROPOSED FusIoN.

1t Embraces a Division of State Officers
and Democratic Control of the Leg
isature.
The News and Observer is asked to
state the basis of the proposal for the
Democrats and Populists to unite in
the coming election, about which there
has been so much talk yesterdays
Charlotte Observer gave the following
statement of it's understanding:
''The reement-tentative or perma-
nent-was this: The Democrats
are to have the governorship and all
the other State offices they now hold,
but Treasurer Worth is to be reelected.
They are also to retain the Congress
sional seats they now hold, viz, those
of the second, third and sixth districts.
occupied by Messrs. Woodland, Shaw
and Lockhart, respectively, but the
Congressman from the first, fourth and
seventh Observation-Disclosures Skinner,
Strowd and Shuford, all Populists-
are to be reelected, and the Democrats
and Populists are to unite for the de-
feat of the sitting members from the
fifth, eighth and ninth districts, Messrs.
Settle, Linney and Pearson, Republi-
cans In the counties which now have
Democratic officers the status is to re-
main undisturbed--that is to say, the
Democrats are to nominate Democrats
for these again, and the Populists are
to support them; and in the counties
where the fusionists of 1894 have the
offices, the status is to be changed by
substituting Democrats for Republi-
cans. Thus, if a county now has a Re
publican sheriff and Populistregister.
the register is to be retained or re-
placed by some other Populist, and the
sheriff is to be replaced by Democrat"
In addition to the above, it is under
stood that the Democrats were to have
all seats in the Legislature now held
by both Democrats and Republicans.
the Populists to hold the seats they
now have, thus giving the Democrats
control of the Legislature and Pritch-
ards seat in the United States Senate.

In his speech on the Home Missions
Rally in New York Sunday night, the
President made an allusion to the teach
ings of his Presbyterian father that
showed he had not gone away from his
early training. He recognized the
Christian religion as the only hope for
the salvation Of the soul, and said his
duties as Chief Magistrate taught him
the importance of religious teaching
and Christian education in the newly
settled portions of our vast domain.
The speech was in the Presidents
happiest vein, and was worthy of the
son of minister of the Gospel.
In a day of dilletantism, slSepticism,
and other "isms," that threaten the
sturdy faith of the fathers, it is graft
flying to all who believe in the truths
Of the gospel to see the Chief Magis-
trate Of the Republic standing up in
its chief city, and declaring his loyalty
to the religion of his father. So long
as our public men entertain and give
utterance to such sentiments no one
need despair of the future of this gov
eminent 1t will weather all gales and
solve all problems if its chief men look
for guidance to the God of the Bible.
Following the Presidents words of
faith and hope, people of Raleigh who
have heard the addresses of DIR. Lam
beth, Missionary Secretary, and his as
sociates this week, have more than ever
been impressed with the necessity Of
greater zeal for the spread of the gospel
in the foreign fields Not only is the
conversion of the world dependent up
on sending the gospel to those who sit
in darkness, but their civilization as
well.

GOLD AND SILVER.

The StatesyilIe Landmark says there
is abundant reason why a believer in
free coinage q few years ago could
consistently flop because "the differ
ence in the commercial and coin value
Of silver dollar is nearly fifty cents"
and Sin the widening of this breach"
Commenting on this statement the
Asheyille Citizen we'll says:
"The difference the Landmark al
ludes to is 31h cents. The breach is
not widening, but closing. Create the
same governmental demand for silver
that gold already has, and the breach
will be closed in a week. Add to that
demand the influence of the enormous
production Of gold at present rate in
South Africa and the first thing you
know 16 ounces Of silver will buy more
wheat than one ounce of gold"

AN EXCEPTION FOUND AT LAST,

He sat in the lobby of one of our
prominent hotels. His hair was as
white as snow and matted in thin and
scraggy locks over a high and creased
forehead. Lines of sorrow marked his
face and ran through his features as
numerous as the rivers in Central
Africa. In his eyes there was sadness
which bespoke weight of sorrow on
the mind, and seemed to suggest that
grief had greatly assisted time in turn
ing the hair white and furrowing the
face. A number of men were sitting
around him, and they had been telling
stories of the "pistol which is not
loaded" and its fatality. The white
haired man said in plaintive voice:

"No, as said, the pistol was not

"But you said she was dead"
"Yes, she died two years ago, of
old age"
"And why did you tell this story?"
"To show you there are times when
the pistol Is really not loaded. There
are exceptions to rules, YOU know.
This is the one exception to the seven
instances you gentlemen have recited."

A RAPIDLY MADE COAT.

Manufacturers are always pleased to
turn out the product of their estab-
lishments in less than the average
time, and many have made records to
which they point with pride. In the
issue of the Round Table for Decem-
ber 10 short article was published on
making coat in thirteen and a half
hours, from shearing the sheep to put
ting the finished garment on a mans
back. This was done at Greenham
Mills in England, in 1911. Mrs.
James Lyon OF Bath, N. Y, writes
that similar feet took place in that
town in 1916, and was accomplished
in less than nine hours by one George
Mcclure, who asserted that it could be
done in ten hours. The record of each
step OF the work still exists, with the
exception OF the shearing. The wool
was colored in IS minutes; carded,
spun and woven in two hours and
twenty-five minutes; fulled, warped
and dyed in one hour and fifty-one
minutes carried to the tailor in four
minutes, and was turned into the fin
ished coat by him and his iourneymen
in three hours and forty-nine minutes.
The shears used in the work are still
preserved and can be seen at the
Steuben Agricultural Society's Fair
Grounds at Bath.
The feat at the time doubtless at
tracted as much attention as record
breaking railroad train or steamship
does to-day. 1t is probable that many
OF our present manufacturers make
such trials for their own edification,
which, if described, would prove in
teresting.-Harper's Round Table.
