The Salisbury World reported last
week that it showed near Old Fort.
This Is the first August snow we re-
member ever to have heard of falling
in North Carolina.
Some people thought it joke when
few moths ago it was stated that
there was law in Ohio against wear
ing high hats in theatres and other
public assemblies. But it Is not
Joke it has come down South and At
lanta..ha an ordinance that compels la
dies to take off their hats and keep
them off during every performance in
an opera house. It Is said that many
ladies approve it.
The State Liquor Dealers Associa-
ton was in session in Durham last
week. It appeared in the Durham
department in the News & Observer
that the association was at work be-
hind closed doors aud the news reporter
could not get any definite news about
what was going on. The public does
not care so much about the association
holding session behind closed doors,
but would be glad to see all the
painted front windows and screens
done away with at the barrooms.
ssThe rich growing richer and the
poor poorer" This Is an expression
that has been sounded out on heavens
pure air by many a politician and
stump speaker OF all parties thousands
of times during the past few years
But Col. Carroll D. Wright, has played
the part of an iconoclast towards the
patent phrase. Col Wright is CHIEF
of the Federal Bureau of Labor Stats
tics and in an article contributed te
the Atlantic Monthly, he contends that
while the number of rich men is in
creasing the number of poor men il
also decreasing. He gives statistics te
back up his argument.
Recently some OF the correspondent
to the Charlotte Observer have beer
discussing how the people in Easter
. Carolina cook their corn bread. ON
correspondent says that corn bread j
cooked in this part OF the State Wlthou
salt or other seasoning, and the othe
saws that it is salted. Being residen
of Eastern Carolina and also being fon'
lof corn bread, we feel somewhat au
thority on the subject.
Now, it depends upon what is in tn
mind of the house-keeper or COO
when the meal is given out as
whether there is salt in the bread {
not. If the housekeeper wishes to Civ
the family a supper of what in othe
}. times was known as "fatty bread, tn

Country Editor in Politics.
Press & Printer.

Press &: Printer.
Examination of our exchanges shows
that the country editor is dropping into
politics. In many instances he cuts
very respectable figure, and his we'll
considered statements Will doubles be
stolen freely and frequently by his met
ropolitan brethren. There are two
kinds of political writing: The one
deals in ridicule, in appeals to prejudice
ana in false statements. The other rec
ognizes that parties and men are falll-
BILE, and that party principles are some
times modified by new conditions.
This conservative style OF writing will
| WIN in the end, because readers are al
ter facts and are not to be hoodwinked
long. The political editor has the
right to present the best side OF his par
ty, and to stoutly maintain it's teaching'
and principles but this can be done
without indulging in personalities OF
conslgning his opponents to the bottom
less pit. The latter style OF politica
writing is now almost obsolete, and th'
editor who adopts 1t is not only old
fashioned, but Is far behind his reader
in point of intelligence.

the key to the enigma of our relations

ness and releases gentIeness, kindness,
pity. The spiritual faculties under the
stimulus of the softer sex, show forth

powers run more naturally to deeds OF
good. Your beloved has shown you

To YOUNG MEN IN LovE.-As pants

so do the souls of some of you yearn to
hear the uniting ceremony.
~
I have already told you that love and
the quality on which love is often bas-
ed-respect- cannot live if only sus-
tanned by passion. The passion indeed
may last long, but,it will scorch and
burn and destroy all the sweet refine
ment that, If not precious in your eyes,
is at least very dear to her whom you
have chosen. Now intend to carry
you forward one startling step and tell
you that love can ennoble and strength
en- one life or both, though passion
be forever denied. What we call the
lower element of our natures cannot be
grand except by the higher qualities
mingling with it /; but the higher quail
ties can live and last and grow, though
the lower be shut out together. I tell
you this and confirm it by pages from
lives that have been laid open before
me; for I want you to have new
sense of what love can do and has done
for our race. I tell you this, because
love, in its highest form of devotion to
an ideal, is capable of entering your
bursting heart, no matter how obscure
you are, and making of you new
creature, with clean lite, pure thought
and good purposes.
