DR.. Alfred Russell Wallace

DR.. Alfred Russell Wallace, writer,
philosopher and traveller, says that the
tropics are more conducive to health
than the temperate regions. He at
tributes his own long-continued good
health, and he is now rs, to IL years res
idence in the tropics when he was a
young man and threa tened with lung
disease. He says European soldiers in
India have better health than the seden-
1ary native classes. But work, he adds,
is necessary to health there as else
where. 1t is safe to say that man can
live anywhere provided he keeps busy,
cheerful, clean, fearless and free.

There are many stories connected
with the awful wreck on the Lehigh
Valley railroad the other day, but one
OF the saddest is that which tells of the
fate OF George Josephs and Mary Smin-
key,of Shamokin, Pa. The parents had

cause of their youth, but they were de-
termined to marry and finally decided
to elope. Boarding the fatal train with
the intention of going to New York city
and being married there, they took
seats in the first coach. There was. a
roar, crash and the elopement ended in
death. Both were under 10 years of age.

There is remarkable condition of
affairs in New Jersey. Without any d.
rect state tax there is a surplus of over
100000 in the state treasury, and this
is increasing so steadily that Gov. Voor-

most all of which came from the taxes
on corporations, the collateral inherit
ance tax and the fees turned into the

Another tradition has been swept
away. In train accident it has been
supposed for years that ION seeing dan
ger the engineer whistled down
brakes reversed the lever and jumped
off," But now comes an iconoclast who
says the engineer does not do this, and
has not for many years. What he does
do is to "shut off steam, apply the air
brakes, open the sand box, and jump"
If he is afraid to jump he is either killed
or becomes hero.

THE GREAT WALLACE SHOWS
Raleigh, Honday, Sept. 25th.

Raleigh, Tlonday, Sept. 25th.
Of the Great Wallace Shows to be
in Raleigh next Monday, Sept 25th,
the Norfolk Virginian and Pilot: says:
There is surprising unanimity in
the profuse praise accorded by the
newspapers to the Great Wallace
Shows which far outstrip anything in
ever given the people. Magnificent
horses, gaudy chariots, elephants,
camels, open dens, consisting of
notwithstanding lions, leopards, bears
and scores of other wild animals
from all parts Of the globe are fea-
lures Of the grand free stupendous
displays on the morning of its exhibit
ton, the street pageant being over a
mile in length. These animals have
been collected often at risk Of
human life and at an enormous ex-
pense. Animals strange and curl
Gus, mammoth and diminutive, say
age and timid, bright colored and
uglv-all combine to form series Of
attractions wonderful to contemplate;
but still more wonderful to witness
The performance, which takes place
in three rings and two elevated plat
forms, is replete with everything
imaginable conducive to the amuse-
ment of the patrons. No less than
nine principal bareback riders are to
be seen, and three premier equestri
ennes are with the show.
The Nelson family are the most
marvellous acrobats ever witnessed in
the circus world. Their work is
Undesirable. TO convey to the
laymen even a 1.-THE of its manifold
points of superiority and excellence,
they are the acrobats of the age,
descended from acrobats through
generations Of ancestors, who were
each in turn kings and queens in
their day. They have by process of
evolution and hereditary attributes
a physique which is acrobatique in
every pore, and renders it possible
for them to perform with ease feats
that other artists can only contem-
plate, dream of, but never hope to
attain.

PROGRESSIVELY WIDE AWAKE HEN

Henry Blount Writes About His Re-
cent Visit Here.

In the Rocky Mount Motor we find
the following from the pen of our
friend Henry Blount about his re-
cent visit to Henderson:
From Warrcnton we went to the
live. wide-awakc and hustling town of
Henderson. w. S. Parker, at one
time Wilson county boy, IS now
one OF its wcalthicst and most prom
inent citizens. He is wholesale
grocer and owns large blocks Of stock
in some manufacturing enterprises
thus showing what grit and push
will do when guided by tact. wisdom
and prudence and hard common
sense. And we also had the pleasure
OF meeting our friend Thad Manning,
editor Of the GOLD LEAF, one of the
brightest and most readable papers in
the State-a paper that has convic-
tions and the courage to give eX-
pressiOns to those convictions.
But we did not see the generous and
big hearted Jim Lands, but we saw
a sweet and glorious representative
in his bright and bewitching daugh
ter Madalinc who honored us with a
call which we appreciated more than
any other courtesy received during
our entire trip. She is indeed one of
the brightest gems in the coronet CT
humanity, and blessed is anv home
that is favored with the enchanting
ministry OF this angelic maiden-this
glorious bud that is now expanding
into the beautiful flower of lovely
young womanhood. And in conclud
ing this article we must not omit to
speak Of the bountiful and most
wholesome edibIes we so happily
surrounded at jim Massenburg's well
filled table or the many courtesics
we received at the hands Of that good,
pure man Of God. the Rev a.
McCullcn, whose good works and
cOnsecratcd life and effective preach
ing are doing so much for the up
lifting Of man, the purity Of society,
the betterment of humanity and the
glory of God.
