Learn ta bs Pretty.

The woman is indifferent to her
looks is no true woman. God meant
woman to be attractive, to look we'll,
to please, and it is one of her duties
to carry out the intention OF her Max
er. But that dress is to do it all,
and to suffice, is more than we can
be brought to belive.
Just because we do love to see girls
look well, as we'll as live to some pur-
pose, we would urge upon them such
a course ofreadipg and study as will
confer such charms as no modiste
can supply.
A well-known author once wrote a
very pretty essay on the power Of
education to beautify-that it abso-
lutely chiseled the features; that he
had seen many a clumsy nose and a
thick pair of lips so modified by
thought awakened and active senti-
ment as to be unrecognizable. And

tive in youth, bloom, in middle life,

Time Houoged Landmark Gons.

On Saturday, January oath, the
last tribute was paid to one Of
Lexington county's oldest and most
respected citizens. On the 23d Of
January the silencing hand Of the
grim reaper, death, came to the home
OF Mr.. J. William Eargle and took
therefrom the husband and father
and grandfather Of very large fam
lily, by removing Jacob Eargle from
this world of cares to that world
where all is peace and Joy. Uncle
Jacob Eargle had reached the ripe
old age Of 81 years, II months and
Is days.
Mr.. Eargle has raised large fam
lily, all of which honored and re-
spected him. He was first married
to Elizabeth Summer, who bore to
him seven children, only two of them
still survive-Mr. George A. Eargle
and Mrs. Henry Wessiuger. After
the death of his wife he was married
a second time to Elizabeth Shealy,
who bore to him three children, j.
William and DR.. J. W. Eargie, and
Mrs. George Sites; all surviving with
his aged companion. Father Eargle's
descendants number one hundred in
all. He was man worthy Of imita
tion. In all his long life he never
was known to buy bushel Of corn,
and but very little, if any flour, or
bacon, always raising plenty and to
spare. Mr.. Eargle was a member OF
the Lutheran Church, and for num-
Der Of years was an elder in st.
Jacobs congregation. AS neigh.
Dor be was the equal Of any, and as
citizen he was always ready to do
his duty. His remains were laid
away to rest in the family burying
ground by his pastor, Rev. Jacob
Wike, after an appropriate funeral
discourse from I'd Cor. 5: 1, amid the
largest gathering of relatives and
friends that it has ever been our
privilege Of seeing on such an occa,
sion. The family return their heart

munity who lent helping hand in
any way, or cheered him during his
illness with their presence.

is whether it should be done by in
creasing the levy or increasing by
some other means the revenue OF the
State. This can be done by gradu-
ated income tax and graduated IL

In my opinion, there is extrava-

investigated. The county govern
ment act is objected to by many on
the ground that is too cumbersome,
and that the work of the chain-gang
costs more than it is worth.

anime those matters thoroughly be-

A people must not be measured by
one standard, but by all. As no one
can be said to be educated until he
has drunk deeply at the three great
springs of human knowledge-science
art and literature. Neither is a race
prepared to enter the combat OF
nations and take it's stand among
people until it has drunk deeply OF
all the fountains of human wisdom.
No people can rise in the world and

Il IS rot enough to teach our girls a

secured at their homes, but we want
the Negro to have higher industrial
education. He must be taught to
smelt iron, or build locomotives, ships,
telescopes, microscopes, steam en-
eines of every class, ali kinds of me-
chanical and farming machinery and
appliances, and to do all work in
glass, brass, gold and silver. This
kind of higher industrial education
is the only kind that he needs now,
and is essential to his salvation. This
kind of industrial education is the
only kind that can give people per-
manent strength. The avenues to
this industrial education lie through
the schools, as trades union and
other industrial organizations are
closed against the colored boy. We
want men to dissect the mountains, to

Stories Of Andrew Jackson.

When Andrew Jackson practiced
law in Guilford County, N. c., the fees
that rewarded him were meager
enough, and the young barrister was
not always able to make his cash bal
ance with his expense account. he
practiced in Surrey, as well as IN
Guilford, and often spent week alta
time in the old tavern at Rockford,
the county seat This old town is
almost in ruins, but the older inhabi
tanta, who knew it in other days re-
call the stories Jackson's friends told
of him.
Emanuel Cranor kept Rockford
tavern. Often Jackson was unable to
pay his tavern bill, and the landlord
would let the amount 60 over until
next time. When Jackson departed
from Guilford for his new home IN
Tennessee he left a bill of S24 due the
tavern. Cranor sent him one dun
after another, carefully noting on tue
book that no reply had been received.
When the newspapers containing the
accounts of the battle of New Orleans
arrived Cranor read the story through.
He then walked across to the regis
ter, and wrote in red across the page
beside Jackson's name:
ssTo balance in full by the battle OF
New Orleans"
The book is said to be in existence
at tLis day.
Judge Fuller, Of the United States
Court OF Land Claims, says that the
idea that Jackson was rough and un-
couth is entirely incorrect. He was
we'll versed in the law, and the opln-
ions written by him while a Judge OF
the Supreme Court Of Tennessee are
said TO lie models of their kind.
1t has just been discovered in TIE
archives of Guilford County that
Jackson was once a constable, with
the rank of deputy sheriff. His oath
The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1897-02-10

and bond are now on file in the coun-
ty documents, and one of the old citi.
liens recalls the fact that the oldest.
iDhabitant told him in his boyhood
how Jackson was assistant to the
high sheriff.
The old minute docket shows that
Andrew Jackson was admitted to
the Guilford Bar in 1887, and was
appointed constable in 1889, two
years after. He resigned as consta-
BILE in 1871. The bond as constable
is payable to the Governor OF North
Carolina in the sum Of $500, with
John Ross and James Maxwell as
sureties.
The records show that constables
were required to appear once a year
in open Court, each with wand or
staff 6 feet long, l-2 inches in di-
ameter, the top painted black. The
high sheriff was required to carry q
staff s feet long. This long and
solemn procession wended its way
down the principal street and into
the Court room, where the records
of the officers were reviewed.
Whether the scarcity of cases at
law induced Jackson to become q
constable, so as to add to his small
income, or be wanted the honor OF
marching in this imposing annual
procession is not recorded.

many people at this time speaking
about taxes being SO high and some
of them are so narrow minded as to
cuss and abuse the Reform govern
ment for it until it may be true that
the Reform Gov-ment has made mis-
takes, and who If hasen't in our
lives. We are liable to make mis-
takes, but what is the trouble and
where is il? Let us look and see
who is to pay these high t. xes. Is it
the man who pays the most taxes,
is it the man who has got the most
money? No, sir: it is the poor class
of people who hasn't anything
scarcely that pays these taxes. Now,
some may say that am wrong, but
let us look and see. We have got
quite nice little town with encour-
aging prospects for the future. Ems
town was surveyed off by practical
surveyor into lots, making ell neces-
sary streets, alleys, etc. OF these
lots some have been sold and the
balance yet for sale at prices from
800 to 500 per acre, yet these
same lots are returned in the tax
bookas farm lands for about Sc or
So per acre, and the poor fellow who
has managed by hard work to buy
one of these lots, pays at the rate of
of $1O0 to S4O0 per acre, has had to
pay taxes likewise, when perhaps the
next lot to his was valued and taxed
at Sc or S.. Now, where is the JUS
tice! Has it lost it's sway? Is there
no way to remedy this injustice? 1t
is right for the man to pay taxes on
his lot at what he gave for it, but
can it be right and just for the other
to pay as he does? Talk about re-
form in different governments, which
is much needed but not half so much
as along the line of taxation. Now,
sir; this is not only the case with
Brookland but such is the case in
many parts Of our State, and this
evil should be remedied by some
means that would give equal rights
to all and special privileges to none
Let every tax payer in the countyre
turn his property at its full value and
taxes would at once be reduced on
all the taxable property in the
county, every man paying his just
and equal share of taxes. Let our
tax payers take into consideration
that there is only SO much money
required to run our county govern
ment and if every man does his
equal part it will be better for all.
