This Highway Leads to Success.

We want every business man
who wishes to get out Of the old
narrow ruts and get their wagon
started on the broad nacadam tiz
ed highway of prosperity to real
ize the fact that:
"Advertising is the suspension
bridge over the chasm Of disaster,
and leads from the poverty strik-
ell little hamlet of Sleepyville to
the marts and exchanges of the
city of Success.
And if they ever expect to
leave the herd of small fry
behind-We mean the kind who
plod along year i'll and year out
and hardly manage of make
"buckle and tongue meet" at
the end of the year-they must
strike out for themselves and let
the world know what their busi-
ness is and what advantages they
have to offer to thosc who have
dealings with them. If this
course is pursued in a business
like manner and the advertiser
has anything good to offer his
customers he may depend upon
success.-Rocky Mount Argo-

Dog and Mule Experiment.

The first trial of Ohio's elec-
trocution machine, just set up
in the State prison at Colum bus
has been made, and large bull
dog was the victim. He was
strapped in the chair exactly as
a man would be and the hair
shaved from his body where the
electrode was applied. Fifteen
hundred volts were turned on.
Death was apparently instantan-
eous. The machine will be
tried in the presence OF the
prison managers with a mule for
a victim next week.

Better Public Schools.

We do hope that the next
Legislature will increase the pay
of our public school teachers.
No class of people work harder
and longer for such meager pay
as do the North Carolina public
school teachers. I'm many of the
Western States the public school
teachers are paid seventy five
dollars per month. Here in
North Carolina a first grade
teacher spends twenty days in a
miserable, crowded school room
and gets thirty dollars for his
work. Pay the teacher more,
make the public system better.

BABY ours BABY.
LEFT ALONE, ONE LITTLE
TOT NEARLY MURDERS
HER SISTER.
WITH A RAZOR.
MOTHER FINDS THEM ROLLING
ON THE FLOOR IN A POOL OF
BLOOD.

Two babies were left alone in
a house at Eastport, Long Island,
on Monday last, and they found
a razor to play with. One cut
the other and the injured child
is now i'll a critical condition.
The little ones are Josie and
Lucy Raynor, aged four and
three years. They are the
brightest and nlerriest little tots
in the neighborhood and are
idolized by their mother. Mrs.
Raynor left them alone tor a few
minutes Monday while she went
over to the depot to meet her
husband, H. Raynor, who was
expected to arrive on the noon
train. The train was delayed
and the mother worried over the
children during the tedious wait.
AS soon as it arrived she met
her husband and the two hurried
to the house, which was within
five minutes walk of the depot.
AS the parents approached their
home they heard the piercing
sh1ieks of The young child.
Fearing something unusual had
happened they hastened their
steps.
The mother was the first to
reach the house. AS she opened
the door into the kitchen where
the children were an appalling
sight met her gaze. Both chill
dren were rolling over one ans
other in a pool Of blood, the
elder gashing the younger one
with a razor which she held in
her clinched hand. while Lucy
was alternately trying to protect
herself with uplifted hands from
her sisters onslaught, and at>
tempting to grasp the razor
which had inflicted many seve.e
gashes On her body and hands,
from which the blood was spurt-
ing in every direction.
The frantic mother recovered
the razor and Immediately sent
for DR.. Rogers, the village phys
ician, while in the interval she
attempted to check the flow of
blood. In this, however, she
was only partially successful,
and it seemed as if the child
would bleed to death. Her little
fingers were gashed, and it was
feared that she would lose them,
but since they have been cares
fully bandaged and there is now
a reasonable hope that they may
be saved. She is, however, lying
III critical condition. Her
sister, Josie, On account of her
hold at the razor escaped severe
injury.

PLUCKY FRIEND
OF ANIMALS.
A Young Chicago Woman Beats
a Cruel Driver with his
Whip.

An expressman was driving a
horse on Adams street, Chicago,
on Saturday last, which was find
ing it difficulty to pull wagon
heavily loaded with household
goods. The driver was cursing
the animal and belaboring it
with a whip at every step. A
number of citizens called to him
to stop when near Wabash ave-,
and for reply he turned the whip
about and used the handle on
the jaded beast.
At this point handsome, stys
lishly dressed woman ran into
the street and called on the
brutal driver to stop. He paid
no attention, and as his whip
descended once more she seized
it and pulled it from his grasp.
He jumped from his wagon with
a curse and a number of men
rushed into the street to inter
fere.
The young woman, who after
ward gave her name as Miss
Warner, pushed them aside and
commenced to beat the express
man over the head with the butt
end of his whip. She did not
desist until she broke the whip
over the drivers head. The ar
rival of a policeman, who allow
ed the expressman, bruised and
bleeding, to depart, dispersed
the crowd.
