NOT UNDER CONTROL.

Sometimes, at sea, a ship is found
flying the signal, Not under control
That is a very terrible signal. SO long
as the machinery and rudder and the
rigging are sound, and the ship is IN
der complete control, she may weather
the. strongest gale; but nov she lies
helpless at the mercy of wind and
wave. No rescuing ship, even, dare
come very near, for mot under con
troll" means that she is a menance to
others as well as herself. So in life we
find, far too often, a man whose con
duct indicates that the forces Of his
life are not under control. That is a
sad and dangerous condition, danger
Gus for himself and for those about
him. Safety lies in keeping the ele-
ments of character so adjusted that
they are always under control, that
thus we may keep Jul machinery true
to its divine course.-Ex.

DESIRE.

Oh, to have dWeIt in Bethlehem,
When the star Of the Lord shone
bright!
To have sheltered the holy wanderers
On that blessed Christmas night;
To have kissed the tender, way worn
feet
OF the Mother undefiled,
And with reverend wonder and deep
delight
To have tended the holy child!
Hushl such a glory was not for thee,
But that care may stall be thine;
For are there not little ones still to aid
For the sake Of the child divine9
Are there no wandering pilgrims now,
To thy heart and they home to takeR
And are there 0 mothers whose weary
hearts
You can comfort for Mary's sake7

treatise devoted mainly to the care and
culture of the commoner kinds Of
flowers. The author tells what kinds
Of plants to choose, how to care for
them, all about soil, watering, light,
temperature, and how to guard against
injury by insects Of various kinds.
There are chapters also on flowers for
the lawn, how to arrange them to the
the best advantage, the laying out of
the lawn, a chapter on table decora
ration, and, in fact such information as
any person who cares for flowers
should have at hand for direction and

AN HONEST A

An honest MAJ will not buy what he
knows he cannot pay for; he will not
borrow nancy when he can see no way
to pay il back; IL he cannot meet an
obligation he will come forward in a
manly way and tell his creditor the
whole truth; he will not hide out when
pay day comes, bui will face the world
and say: Il cannot now meet it, but
give me time and 1 will; I will not run
away from my debts" Such a man
as that can always get credit, be be
ever SO POOR.
Toe business world ia beginning to
place more coDddeSce in a coed moral
sec uriEy than IN the best of real es-
tate and money collateral. This puts
a premium on honesty. Aman's money
may clip through his fingers, but il he
be a mar Of honor he will always be
willing to pay what he owes, and some
day Gods bouuteous hand will be held
ous TO him, he will not only be willing,
but ready. After all, there is much
truth in the old saying about honesty
being the best policy, and in Pope's
famous tines:
"Au honest mans the nob!est work of
God"
Let's be honest; we can't afford to be
otherwise. God intended that we be
honest and true Elk.

THE FRS ~soUTHERNER.

The county of North Carolina which
extends terthest east is Dare. It's sur
tace Is largely water, It's land area hav
ing many long, narrow islands and pen
insulas. One OF it's principal islands
is Roanoke between Roanoke AND
Croatan sounds. On this island,
which 81 twelve miles long and
from two to three miles wide, is
the county seat MAnteo. This place
notable to day for its luxuriant vegeta-
ton and it's song birds, was the scene
more tnan 800 years ago of the birth
of the fret white child of English par
entage in America. The name of thu
country is in memory Of her, and the
name Of the county seat, of the great
hearted Indian, the Lord of Roanoke
The CHILD, the daughter of Eleanor
Dare. was born in 1887, and was Chris
tened Virginia.
Oae of the greatest Englishmen who
ever lived, SIr Walter Raleigh, was
most active in promoting the discov,
cries in this country by E%aglishmen
In 1855 an expedition organized by
him and commanded by Sir Richard
Granville, and including among it's
members Heriot, Cavendish and other
men distinguished in English history,
landed upon Roanoke island and spent,
under the governorship Of r Alph Lane,
nearly 8 year in exploring the region.
visited Oy the great SIR Francis Drake.
Finally the expedition returned, leav.
ing fifteen men on the island. When
q new colony vas sent out in 1887 a
few bones were all the traces LETT of
these fifteen men.
The new colonists we're headsd by
John White, governor. They laid out
the city Of Raleigh on the north side of
the island, made Mante) the first
American baron, with the title of
Lord Of Roanoke" and prepared for
permanent settlement. Within a few
weeks after the settlement Virginia
was born Of Eleanor Dare, the daugh
ter OF John White. 81 confident was
be OF the welfare Of the colony that
eight days after the birth of his grand
child White returned to England in the
interests Of the colony, leaving on the
island of Roanoke eighty nine men,
seventeen women and two children.
His intention was to return promptly
with supplies, but his plan was delayed
by accident and by the unrest of
Europe. When the feet of supplies
reached Roanoke not a person was
there. The col mis-. 8 had disappeared
as completely as though they had been
engulfed in a tidal wave, no clue re-
naming except a sign on a tree point
ing to Croatau, a tribe of Indians on
the mainland.
The mystery Of this disappearance
has never been solved, but a roman
tic conjecture ia that the colonists
we're, for their wi safety taken under
the protection of the Indians ard were
absorbed into the tribe. In that event
it is possible that the blood of Virginia
Dare still courses through the veins of
Of the few survivors Of aboriginal
Americans -Ex.

Failure to Secure Certified Copy of

The threat Of the three Republican
county commissioners. Messrs. Gutman,
Fritz and Tyson, who have been en-
gagged, with the aid OF the two Demo-
cratic members. In contest with the
five other Republicans, that they would
not allow the Wcent election Of officers
and President McGregor's rulings to
pass unchallcnged Is to be realized 1t
seems.
Attorney W. P. Robinson has been
engaged by the three Republicans men
toned to institute the necessary pro-
ceedlngs to have the matter reviewed
and passed upon by the circuit court
OF Ohio county. Yesterday afternoon
Mr.. Robinson called Mt the Office OF
the board and asked Clerk Mofrat to
prepare q certified record Of
the records OF the meetings OF
March 90 and April 3. Mr.. Moffat
fat consented to certify to copy of the
record of the meeting Of March 90, but
declined to certify to that of April 8.
LOT the reason tnat tnc minutes nave
not yet been passed. upon by the board
and will not be brought before 1t until
the regular meeting early in May. After
that, he said. he would certify to the
correctness Of copy Of the minutes Of
the April Sd meeting.
8fr. Moffat's position may delay the
lnstituting of the proposed action be-
fore the circuit court. Mr.. Robinson
proposes to ask for writ Of certiorari
reviewing the proceedings In the board.
and for writ In quo warranto, which
will compel the men who were elected
to Office at the hands of the board to
show In what manner they came to be
officers of the county.
1t is stated the defeated candidates
for the caucus nominations are asso-
ciatcd with the three commissioners
named In the proceedings to be insti-
tutcd by Mr. Robinson.
tits said the proceedings may not be
delayed by the inability to secure n
certified copy of the record of the meet
ing of April 8, at which the election
took place. 1t seems Mr.. Tyson got from
Clerk Moffnt just afte- the meeting
memorandum OF the meeting, which
may be all that Is required in getting
the writs to be asked for.

A CITIZEN PROTESTS

Regarding Disorder in Connection
With the Street Car Strike = Isn't
Particular About the Strike, but
Wants the Law Enforced.
To the Editor OF the Intulligcncer.
SIR:-It is time for some one to say
publicly what manv people are thinking
and saying quietly about this strike
and that Is, that the disorder connected
with 1t is public disgrace.
No matter who is right and who is
wrong In the matter OF wages and
hours. the people who interfere with the
running of cars and damage destroy
property are law-brealscrs. The people
who gather in crowds 10 stone the new
men, or to protect the children and
women while they do 1t, are in business
that is d!sgraceful. and not only to
themselves but to the city and the rest
OF US. The strikers could stop 1t II they
would-there would be TO suggestion of
disorder II II were thought that the
strikers were anxious TO have none. But
l have no right 10 call on the strikers
for any service of that sort. The public
has a right 10 demand that service from
the chief OF police, and he is the man
to act IL rloting is TO be stopped. The
reputation of this city Is none too good
ABROAD, the last street railway strike
MAS not been forgotten: and as one OF
those who care for public honor and
the enforcement Of public order, call
upon the chief OF police OF this city to
do his duty. That duty is not 10 at
tempt to decide the rights of the con-
troversg, but to keep public order and
protect private property.
1t ought to be possible to settle the
matter Of wages In some fair way. The
company says the present rate, sixteen
cents, is higher than the average wage
for similar service In this country. II
that Is 80. let them prove It with facts
and figures. The information can be-
had for the asking, and postage Is
cheap. Then II the strikers can't dis
prove the statements. let them admit 1t
ard 90 back to work.
But all that is none OF my business. I
can get on for awhile without the cars:
my business interests are not hurt by
the strike, and Will not complain about
the public Inconvenience IL II Is going
to produce any lust result. But the
other matter. the instant suppression
of disorder. and the watchfulness to
prevent disorder, Is my business. 1t af-
fects the character and reputation of
the city most seriously, and do not
propose to see 4 repetition Of the for
mer lawlcssness and rioting without q
vigorous protest.
Mr.. Clemans. it Is up to YOU You are
man enough to meet the situation with
honor 1t would take you Just fifteen
minutes to show the lawless element
that sympathiZers with the strikers
must keep within the law and within
decencY. The damage Is done largely
by women and boys, who feel sure that
you will be looking the other way.
Make half n dozen arrests--or only pass
the word Ia earnest that you are going
to do it-and there Will be no more dis
order. The strikers will think none the
less Of you for doing your duty. 1t is
up to you. Mr.. Clemans.
