especially in the rural districts, with
out one whit of consideration being
given to the character of the employe.
Very often children, whose liyes have
been subjected to the most sayory
Christian influences, whose only need
full discipline has been the gentle
remonstrance of fond, loving mother
or the kind admonition of tender,
considerate father, and whose life ac-
tions have, hitherto, seemed to fully
conform to the lofty ideal consummate
with the careful nurture bestowed up
on them, have suddenly developed
characteristics which would seem to
follow people who dwell in haunts of
wretchedness and vile corruption.
What has been the cause of all this
change? Who has been really and,
oftentimes. Intentionally engaged in
diverting the young mind from the
path of rectitude? Without any cir
cumlocution whatever we would answer
that 1t is frequently no greater or less
parsonage than the "hired man" !"
Hence it is very patent that, when,
from the force of circumstances, there
must be an inter-association of family
and mercenary life, great care should
be exercised in the employment of
mercenaries of good moral characters.
For very truly, "No man liyeth to him

Shipping Tobacco to Cuba.

Dispatch.
It was said at the internal revenue
Office yesterday that the export business
in tobacco for the fiscal year soon to
close will show a gratifying increase
oyer last year. Large quantities OF to-
bacco are being shipped from here to
Cuba since the war is over. The ship
ments are larger and more regular than
they we're before the war. One reason
is, that the duty on tobacco has been
reduced through the change OF govern
mental control from 36 to IL cents per
pound.
The Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue has directed that notice be given
to all druggists and dealers in medici-
nal and proprietary preparations that
they will be required to make sworn
statement Of all sales OF such articles
made by them on and after July lst
without the same being stamped when

nue. stamps also, they shall state the

Squirrel Saved His Life.

A Virginia member of the hospital
department of the Second division of

bia yesterday and to State reporter
told the following incident concerning
North Carolinian who figured in the
battles around Santiago. He said:
GA North Carolina regular just be-
fore he lett for Cuba had talk with
his girl, and she advised him to take
a squirrel along with him in Cuba as
mascot. He protested against the
absurdity and nuisance of such an
awkward mascot, but when she insist
ed with tears in her eyes and declared
she would never again see him alive
unless he carried the squirrel with
him, he consented, although she could
give no other reason than that she felt
this would be his only salvation. The
soldier kept his promise to always
have the little pet near him, and it
rode upon his shoulder when he went
into the fight. A bullet cut off the
tail OF the squirrel, and as he turned to
see what was the matter another bullet
slightly wounded him in the head.
The missile would have pierced his
brain had he not turned to look at the
squirrel Just at that time. The North
Carolinian is now on his way home on
a furlough to tell his sweeth heart about
his narrow escape"

ABOUT OUR HOMES.
They Should be Kept Pure.
THE FAT4ER THE PRIEST.
dorven Enterprise.

Morven Enterprise.
Home is the dearest place on earth.
"Be it so homely, there is no place like
home" To its sacred precincts one
can turn, from the noise and din of
business, from the roar and hustle of
the city, from the toll and labor of the
field and shop, and there find sweet
rest. Our aching heads and tired limbs
can there be soothed and refreshed.
There the wasted energies and run
down vitality can be restored. There
mental strain can relax and the brain
and nervous system find recuperation.
There the aching heart can find that
pur6 affection for which 1t seeks in vain
in this cold world.
In the home is the heart and life of
civilization. The dynamite forces
which are slowly but surely elevating
human society are generated in the
homes.
Home life determines society and
national life. The strength of this ma
ton is not in the chief executive, its
president. It is not In its congress, nor
yet in its judiciary, its courts of justice.
Neither is it determined by Its stand
ing army, with its fleet of many ships.
Neither is its strength to be found in
its mighty and rapidly expanding COM
merce. But the strength of this ma
ton is in the homes of the people.
Whatever home life is, national life is.
Home makes the man, the citizen.
The man the citizen aggregated makes
the nation. The president comes from
the home. Each member of both
houses of congress comes from the
home. The judge on his bench comes
from the home. The lawy er, the jury
and the prisoner come from the home.
Make the home pure and you have a
good president, good congress, good
jurymen, and few criminals. Make
the home pure and-you have good
business men, clean commerce, upright
dealings.
The great throngs Of human beings
crowding streets and thoroughfares,
hotels and court houses, are contributed
from the hundreds and thousands of
homes such homes, as they are. Each'
as rule, represents the home from
which he comes.
The underlying force of home life is
the pure affection which first unites
man and wife, makes the two one flesh.
From this happy union OF hearts the
family springs. The same affection,
like a golden thread runs through the
entire family, and like bands of steel
| holds them together as unit.
The christian home is consecrated to
God. There as with Abraham tho fires
burn on the family altar. The father
is the priest of the household. Gods
Word is the supreme law of the famf-
| ly. From His Word he takes daily
counsel, while around the sacred altar
of home he sends up the daily prayer
for protection and blessing. From
such homes few, if any, criminals will
| ever come to curse society. Criminals
come as a rule from bad homes.
| Our national life is safe as long as its
citizens live In good, pure homes. The
decline of the home will surely mark
the decline of society and national life
God help us to look we'll to our homes
