Thousands Of men are afraid of the light,
ming and vet not one man in ten thousand
is ever killed by it. Few men are afraid
of consumption, and yet il causes one-sixth
of all the deaths in the world. 1t is more
deadly than either wars or pestilences.
Any sort of wasting disease rray lead to
consumption. Any slight disorder of the
respiratory organs may easily develop
it. Weakness of the body, emaciation,
lack Of vitality are plain invitations for the
germs of consumption. Consumption is not
entirely disease of the lungs. It IS dis
ease of the blood that shows itself most
strongly in the lungs. It Is not-as It used
to be considered-incurable. DR.. Pierce,s
Golden Medical Discovery has changed all
that. 1t will cure ninety-eight per cent. OF
all cases Of consumption If taken III time;

New Passenger Service On The S. A. L.

Commencing June 1st, the Sea-
board Air Line inaugurated strict
ly passenger service between Hen
derson and Durham, N. c.. to take
the place of the "mixed" freight
and passenger trains operated
heretofore. The improvement in
this service will be very beneficial
to the patrons of Henderson, Dur
ham and surrounding territory,
and to the travelling public at
large.
The following extract from a
letter received by the Seaboard
people from prominent citizen
of Durham, shows that this SER
vice will be duly appreciated.
AS a citizen of Durham. T
write to congratulate you on this
move, ,and to assure you it will
meet the hearty approval, and l
believe, cooperation Of large
portion of our travelling public.
This, IS my Judgment, is right
move, in the right direction at the
right time.''

The New Law In Regard to Paying Taxes


I. T. Hicks in Raleigh News and Observer
The last Legislature actually
provided that part of each
mans estate should be forfeited
to the State by his death, and it
went further and made it mis-
dcmeanor punishable by a fine
not exceeding $500 or imprison-
ment not exceeding six months
for any person owing property or
poll taxes not to pay the same be-
fore the first term of the Superior
or Criminal Court convening in
the county each year after the
first Monday in September. 1t
does not stop here. If one should
fail to pay his or her taxes by the
first court and should be indicted
and punished as aforesaid at that
term and should fail to pay the
taxes until another term of the
court rolls around, the act makes
him or her indictable at each term
until he pays it. Probably the
last named section strikes snag
in the organic law providing that
no man shall be twice vexed or
punished for the same offence, vet
the solicitor might reply that the
Legislature intended to make it a
continuing offence for every days
failure.
This might as well be known in
the State at once. As all taxes
are.due September 1st, and as there
is required by the constitution to
be at least on Superior Court in
each county between September
and Christmas, it seems that all
the citizens of the State who don t
pay their taxes before Christmas
will spend their Christmas in jail.
If therefore, the citizen fails to pay
his taxes the State takes his liber-
ty; and if he diesin jail it forfeits
IA part of his property to the
State.

HIS OLD SWEETHEART.

As orc who cons at evening DER an album
all alone,
AND muses. on the faces OF the friends that
he has known,
50 turn the leaves of fancy till, in sllad-
owy design,
| find the smiling features of an old sweet
heart of mine.
The larnpliglit seems to gIirnrner with the
flicker of surprise,
As t,lril it low to rest ME of the dazzle
Ill my eyes,
And light my pipe in silence, save sigh
that seems to yoke
Its fate with my tobacco and to vanish
with the smoke.
'Tls fragrant retrospection-for the Iov-
ing thoughts that start
INTO being are like perfumes from the
blossom of the heart;
And to dream tl.e old drean.s over is a
luxury divine
When MY truant fancy wanders with that
old sweetheart of mine.
Though l hear, beneath my study, like
fluttering of wings,
The voices of my children, and the
mother as she sings,
feel no twinge of conscience to DENY
ME any theme
When care has cast her anchor in the
harbor of a dream.
In fact, to speak in earnest, I believe it
adds charm
To s,n:.,.e the good trife with a little
,'Est of harm
For find an extra favor in memory's
mellow wine
That makes me drink the deeper to that
old sweetheart of mine.
A face Of hly-beauty, with a form of airy
grace,
Floats out of my tobacco as the genii
from the vase;
And thrill beneath the glances of a pair
of azure eyes
As glowing as the summer and as tender
as the skies.
I can see the pink sunbonnet and the lit
tie checkeIed dress
She wore when first kissed her and she
answered the caress
With the written declaration that ssas
surely as the vine
Grew round the stump" she loved me-
that Old sweetheart of mine.
And again feel the pressure of her sIeu-
der little hand,
As we used to talk together of the future
we had planned
When l should be a poet, with nothing
else to do
But write the tender verses that she set
the music to;
When we should live together in cozy
little cot
HID III net of roses, with fairy garden
spot,
Where the vines were ever fruited, and
the weather ever fine,
And the birds were ever singing for that
old sweetheart of mine:
When should be her lover forever and a
day,
And she my faithful sweetheart till the
golden hair was gray,
And we should be so happy that when
either's lips were dumb
They would not smile in heaven till the
others kiss had come.
But, ah! my dream is broken by a step
upon the stair,
And the door is softly opened, and-my
wife is standing there;
Yet with eagerness and rapture all INV
visions resign,
To greet the living presence of that old
sweetheart of mine.

'fie Farmers Lot Tie Best.
Norfolk Viqinian


A writer in the Texas Farm an6
Ranch comes forward with the in
formation that "in this life all ,
man gets is his living-his boare
and clothes. Everything above
this is prosperity, and should be
50 considered" In COMPARING
farm life with that of the city, he
takes the position that farmers as
r1lle are doing better than 9th
er5, and perhaps this is SO, vet j,
Is difficult to make the farmer be-
lleve it. Still, there are hundreds
OF men, who, having abandoned
the farm<and come to the CITY,
have never ceased regretting it,
and never will.
p,e writer referred to reasons
that men III town get from $50 to
$lOO month, and that this as
tonlshes the man Of the plow and
noe, but when the man buys his
bread, meat, potatoes, radishes,
lettuce, turnips, tomatoes, his
milk, his butter, his cheese, his
chickens and eggs and pays his
rents and taxes and insurance.
etc, etc., If at the end of the year
he comes out whole, he is doing
better than the average, and then
IT he loses his job, as often occurs
his expenses continue, and in one
month he is a pauper, striving to
keep up appearance. The farmer
who owns his home has constant
work, even if the pay is small, and
he never loses his job until he
"shuffles off this mortal coil"
The man in town working for a
salary never knows how long it will
be thus with him. To-day he may
be happy as boy, with pocket
full of rocks, tomorrow he NAV
be engaged in that most thankless
of all tasks, hunting for a lob.
Here is where farmer has a sub
stantlal advantage; his business
is not a speculation, therefore he
seldom names a trustee; his busi-
ness IS not rich in promise of pelf,
therefore if he makes both ends
meet he suffers but little disap-
polntment, and as to his work he
Is up and at it again. When he
goes to town, or takes a day off.
he may exemplify his humanity
by grumbling because he works
hard and clips no coupons, while
others work not but gather earthly
treasure by the carload. The
farmer spends one-half of his time
IN labor; it is during the other
half that he has the advantage
over the man who acquires wealth
rapidly-he sleeps we'll.
These are truths which many a
man from the country knows so
we'll that he cannot forget them.
They crowd upon him whether he
counts them or not. But still
people continue to come to town
They may not know it, but 1t is a
fact that where one man succeeds
IN accumulating wealth in the
city, thousands go down, and the
average man changing his home
does not live at all. He merely
exists.

The Newspaper Borrower.

iu-1ooh1iiS illan "lcn gold
bowed spectacles got on a car the
other morning. He had a daily
paper in his hand.
Taking off his glasses and wip-
Ing them, as all spectacle men
have to do when going from s
cold to a warmer atmosphere, he
was just taking his paper out to
read, when a man who was sitting
near him reached over and
said.
LEND me that paper, will
you?"
The mild looking man appeared
surprised. Evidently he did no;
know the would-be-borrower, and
was a little taken aback by his
nerve. He was equal to the occa-
sion, however.
Il was going to read it my
SELF" he said "but as you seem to
need to read newspapers more
than I do, I'll lend it to you.
The borrower took it without
even saying "thank you" The
spectacled man leaned back with
an expression of amused disgust.
Say" he said, would you like
to have that paper sent you to regu-
larly? Ifyou would, I'll step into
the office and pay years subscrip-
ton for you
"Why, you are very kind" said
the other, Il usually borrow it,
but [ would not object to have it
given to me.'
II thought not, said the specta-
cled man. ''By the way, have
yo any tickets for the theatre to-
night?'s
NO. was the reply, "Iseldom
go to theatres
II was sure of it. I'll step in
and buy a couple Of orchestra
seats for you if you like"
"Why. I'm sure
ooh, don't mention it? And
while think of it, can't I order
you q couple of tons of coal
sir?"
"1'm about out
Exactly. Your grocery bill is
unpaid, too isn't it? I'll 90
around and settle it for you to-
night"
Il really don't understand,
sir
"No, of course you don't. But
won't you accompany me to the
tallor's and let me buy you a new
suit of clothes.''
By this time the sponger began
to see the drift of the conversa-
ton.
YOU'RE trying to guy me-" he
said with feeble attempt at a
smile.
"Not at all, said the spectacled
man. Il belong to a philanthro-
pic society and am trying to live
up to its leading principle"
"What is its leading principle?"
''That dead beats in all cases
should be given enough rope to
to hang themselves if possible. 1
am beginning to doubt, though,
whether it's possible in your case" !"
The sponger threw down the pa
per and retired to the cold corner
OF the car nearest the door.
