a youth knew young man of the
neighborhood who had the name of
being the greatest fighter in all that

complete failure asa soldier. Upon the
other hand, in that same community
was a mid>mannered, quiet boy. who
couldn't be induced to fight under any

of coward among all his acquaintances.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Brandon News, takes center shot at
the hypocrite in Il recent issue. This
class of misfts may be found in every
community, in and out Of the church.
Usually they have at least one charac-
teristic in common with the ostrich
they imagine that If their heads are
covered they are completely concealed
from view. We entirely agree with
the News in its estimate of them. In
common with the bulk of mankind we
detest any species of hypocrisy as much
as we admire frank, open, manly can
dor and outspoken honesty. even
though the latter may at times become
extreme. The News says:
III there is a word in the English
language we detest, it is hypocrisy-or
to be more definite, we have feeling
Of contempt for a person who is hyp.
ocrlte. Still the country is burdened
with this class of people on all sides.
They are manifest in politics, in relig.
ion, in business-in fact, in every CALI
ing. 1t is difficult in mary instances
Tor person to tell who his friends are,
so numerous are those who make
Pretense OF being such, when in reality
1t is only for policy. If there is a
man who should be much admired he
is the one who has the courage to
show his colors on all occasions, and
not make pretense of being one thing
at one time and something else at an
other Another torn that is often ex.
pressive of the hypocrite is the back
boneless person-the man who hasn't
the nerve to stand up for what he be-
lieves is right, when he is where the
majority think different from him"

LIGHTNING REVEALS IRON.
How a Valuable Mine in North Caro-
lima Was Discovered.
From the washington Star.

From the Washington star
1.-THE best paying and most valuable
lion mine in North Carolina" said one
of the biologists of the geological survey,
was discovered by lightning. 1t came
about in this way; A gentleman who own
ed a large farms picked out one of the
prettiest cliffs or small hills on it as the
site for a residence 1t was very nicely
situated, sloping from all sides, and be-
sides had a fine spring of water very near
it. The water was first tested and proved
to be nearly pure, though 1t had a trace
of iron in it, not enough, however, to IN
terfere 10 any great extent with its taste.
There were four large and finely shaped
trees on the hill the locations of which
were such that the house was built among
them, tree being at each corner of the
house.
THE first storm that came up after the
house was occupied was a severe one, ana
the lightning seemed to linger around
there in preference to spreading through
the valley. The following storm was
equally familiar, and at its conclusion the
gum tree, the largest and handsomest of
the four around the house, was found to
be lying ON the ground, having been struck
by lightning. In less than a year the
other trees met with the same fate, and
when they were gone the lightning de-
stroyed the barns, corn, houses, tobacco
houses and otherc outbuildings. So far,
however, the residence was not struch,
but the ewner moved out and deserted IL.
In one month afterward the corner of the
house was knocked off during a storm.
1.-THE fatalities connected with the house,
coupled with the prominence of its owner,
were made the subject of an article in
the local paper. This found its way into
Pittsburg and other papers. prospector
who is now one of the owners of the iron
mine happened to see 1t, and was not
long before he was on the ground. He was
satisfied that there were reasons why the
lightning played such havoc with that par
ticular property. and that bed of iron
Whereabouts was the attraction Without
making public his reasons, he began ne
gotiating for the purchase. Of the hill and
surrounding land, and he was able to Sc
cure the same for about his own price. In
less than six weeks he located the iron and
examined to some extent its quantity
which he found to be enormous Then he
capitalized the investment in Pittsburg and
elsewhere, and in less than year he
had an iron mine I'm full operation. 1t has
been steadily paying for over twelve years
THE hill on which the residence was To-
Gated turned out 10 be, after ten feet of
the dirt was removed therefrom, mass
Of iron. The whole cost of the outfit in
GLIDING the cost Of the land was not
over $4,000. and over $4,000 worth Of iron
has been sent from there every year since,
with no telling how long the supply will
continue. This Is not the only instance
in iron mining where lightning identified
the mine. The surprising thing to me is
that the residence stood as long as it did,
with such an attraction for lightning i'm
mediately under it."

Two qualities, and only two, certainly
differentiate Spaniards from the other
Southern races of Europe, but they are
qualities displayed in such excess that
they appear TO constitute an entirely sep
arate national character, which in hun
dreds of years has never changed either in
fact or in the impression which 1t makes
upon the remainder of mankind one of
these qualities is a peculiar kind of pride,
and the other is a steely caliousness.
Spaniards are about as brave as the other
Latin races-that is, they are perfectly
brave, with a certain liability to panic,
and reluctance to go on when victory
seems not to be attainabe They were
supposed in their best period to be drawer
than Frenchmen or Italians. and their
picked Adventures certainly showed in
the New World audacity of really won
derful kind, an audacity, in fact, to which
odds made no difference, and which sug-
gested that they thought themselves spe-
Cldiiy favored Dy nSdNeui Dut we uo uot
know that their history quite confirms this
clasn. The Romans defeated them and
the Moors defeated them, and in their long
conflict with France they never obtained
any serious or permanent advantage. They
did not succeed against the men of the
Low Countries, they were defeated by
British sailors and they did not triumph
in their struggle in Mexico against infe-
rior numbers of Americans. That they
are brave is certain, and they are probably
more self-confident than either Frenchmen
or Italians; bur we should not describe
their courage as differentiating them from
any other people of Southern Europe.
We do not know that they are more re-
yengeful, though they attribute that quail
ity to themselves, and owing to the alb
sence of good legislation rely for ven
geance more on their own efforts; nor are
they in reality more passionate. They stab
as readily as Italians, but not more read
ily and though they assassinate more or
ten than Frenchmen 1t must be remem-
bered that Frenchmen have lived for ages
