= Is Wealth.

Economy is wealth. This Did addage
is often told to the boys on their leav-
ing home to go out in the wrld to fight
the battles of manly life. Their moth
ers teach them this moral lesson. Their
fathers tell them how to make the pre-
cious dollar and my experience is the
surest and quickest road to wealth is
to spend less than you make n spend
that little where you can get the most
goods for the Trade with those
who can overmatch their competitors
and sell goods for less price tina other
peop1e. This Is a broad lesson n

Two Ladies Assaulted by a Negro.

Richmond, Va, July 15.-Police this
morning captured Joseph Fife, color
ed, 20 years old, on suspicion Of having
attempted to outrage two white women
yesterday. In the morning a negro
went to the house of Mrs. w. V. Marks,
Of East Franklin street, and finding
her alone, tried to assault her. She
fought him desperately and the noise
of several children in an adjoining yard
frightened the nan away. Later in the
day Miss Nina Russell, of Norfolk, who
is on a visit here, was attacked by
a negro. on Chestnut Hill, but her
scream frightened him off. This
morning both women identified Fife,
though he makes a denial. He is in
Jail and will be brought before a special
grand JURY tomorrow.

Dur good friend, Colonel Julian S.
Carr, who is always trying to help the
state Or some person in distress, is at
Denver, Col, attending a gold mining
convention. The Republican, the lead
ing paper Of it's party in Colorado, has
a long and pleasant description Of our
generous North Corolinian. We make
an extract:
zone Of the most interesting figures
of the convention is Colonel J. S. Carr,
president Of the great Durham Tobacco
Company, president of the First Ma
tiOnaal Bank or Durham, North Caro-
lima; a millionaire through the work Of
his own hands and brains; an ex-Con-
federate soldier who fought through
the war to Appomattox in Wade
Hampton's celebrated cavalry legion,
and though a cavarlyman, was forced
to walk to his home in North Carolina,
where he arrived without a dollar in
his pocket, with home and friends lost
and dead, and started with nothing but
his hands n his pluck to restore the
fortunes he had lost. Mr.. Carr has
succeeded, as is hown by the fact that
he carries in the Mutual Life Insurance
Company Of New York, a policy for
$500, 900, the largest single policy ever
written in the history of life insurance
in the United States; and is at the
head of a business which has attained
enormous proportions and which is
still growing"

The Uses Of Misfortune

Misfortune has its uses; for, as our
bodily frame would burst asunder if the
pressure of the atmosphere were re-
moved, so, If the lives of men were re-
lieved OF all need, hardship and adver-
sity; If everything they took in hand
were successful, they would be 80 swoi-
len with arrogance that though they
might not burst, they would present the
spectacle of unbridled folly-nay, they
would go mad. And, may say further,
that certain amount of care or pain
or trouble is necessary to a man at all
times. A ship without ballast is un-
stable and will not go straight.
Certain it is that work. worry, labor and
trouble form the lot of almost all men
their whole life long. But if all wishes
were fulfilled as soon as they arose, how
would men occupy their lives? What
would they do with their time? If the
world were paradise of luxury and
ease, land flowing with milk and
honey, where every Jack obtained his
Jill at once and without difficulty, men
would either die of boredom or hang
themselves; or there would be wars,
massacres and murders; so that in the
end mankind would inflict more suffer-
ing on itself than it has now to accept
at the hands OF nature.-Schopenhau

MINING IN A CEMETERY

Colorado is the only state in the union
where cemetery has been taken up as
a mining claim. Father Brown Of Lead
vile has a devoted band Of armed pa
rishioners surrounding the Catholic
cemetery at that place, to guard it until
he can take out patent to the location
as placer ground.
Great changes have taken place. Time
was when the presence OF the dead
would deter the avaricious and the gu
perstitious from disturbing the bones
that lay there. A cemetery was regard
ed as hallowed ground.
Now the greed for gold overshadows
ALL 1t may be offered in extenuation
of the Leadville case that the action
was "for the good of the church," but
it was a repulsive one at best
From one point of view, there is no
reason why cemetery should not be
devoted, under proper circumstances
and conditions to utilitarian purposes;
but the world cherishes a little senti-
ment in such matters yet, and it is to its
credit that 1t does so.

THE EXIT OF THE INDIAN

However picturesque the Indian may
stand out in history, however idealized
he may appear in our literature, provi-
dence or fate has written his doom, as
one of the nations that have been, but
are not. The relentless facts of statis-
tics prove that the Indian is fast being
gathered to his fathers. and soon the
mounds scattered over the eastern
states will be the only monuments of a
race once dominant on this continent.
Without a great change in the rate of
mortality, within fifty years the Amer
lean Indian will be numbered with the
lost nations of the earth.
There are no authentic records of the
number of Indians in America when
our colonial ancestors landed on the
Atlantic coast, yet as they extended
from Maine to Georgia and were found
wherever the European landed, they
must have numbered more than half a
million Of souls. Under genial skies and
environments suited to their develop
ment they should number many millions
Of people at this time. The whole
houndless continent was their home.
The waves gave them fish, while the
deer. the buffalo and other wild animals
roamed the forests around. Everything
pointed to long life. Neither law nor
human limitations fettered their free
will, till the year 1920. when the Puritans
landed at Plymouth Rock. and then the
