ACCIDENT TO Mr.. HAYDN.

Robert HAYDN, advertising manager
of the Butte (MonD Miner, was hit on
the head with rock weighing
several pounds 4 few evenings ago
while on his way from business His in
juries were painful but not serious.
His assailant escaped. Mr.. Haydn
says he knows no reason why any
body should desire to in ure him.
and thinks that the rock was intended
for somebody else.
The above item is from a recent
issue of the National 4drertiser. New
York. Mr.. Haydn is pleasantly re-
membered as formor North Caro-
lima newspaper man. having at one
time been editor of the old Charlotte
Chronicle. He has been living West
since he removed from this State.
In 1892. ust as the writer was
about boarding an Eastbound train
of the Northern Pacific Railroad in
Portland, Oregon. Mr.. Haydn stepped
from the ears. We had but a few
minutes together but he enquired in
tere>tedlv about his friends among
the press boys and things in
general in North Carolina showing
that he still retains lively interest
in affairs here and cherished a kindly
feeling and good wishes for those he
had left behind

A KIND, CHRISTIAN ACT.
General Carr is Meyer Too Busy to do
Good, and he does it.

1t is the little things that make up
the sum total of life. And it is the
little things that some times show
clearly the true character of man.
Maybe these little things reveal the
littleness of the man or maybe they
illustrate his greatness. Here is
case which comes in the latter class.
Says the Durham Sun:
A few days ago, General j. 5. Carr,
of this city, sent some electric
fans from his residence to the bed
side of patient sick of typhoid
fever. The Danville Evening Bee has
the following to say in communication
of the kind, thoughtful and Christian
act:
1T is not much for man to do
to send his electric fans to sick
room, provided he is in that business.
But when a busy man, a man with
hundreds of interests on his hands
like Colonel Carr, takes time from his
busy life to remember his unfortunate
neighbors and make their path
brighter or ease the suffering of the
sick room, it is matter worth writ
ing down and worth talking about.
All these things are done without
heralding them to the world. We
have had men tell us things Colonel
Carr has done-perhaps trifles con-
sidered in one way, but great things
considered in another way. During
the last month Colonel Carr has been
in demand most every day, in adj
dressing colleges and awarding
diplomas and attending meetings of
one sort and another besides his
business affairs, yet he takes time to
ascertain that some one is i'll and
that in the fever room electric fans
would help, and he orders them taken
from his residence and put up to
cool the brow of the stricken one.
This is what we call pure Christian
itv-and Colonel Carr will be re-
warded for such Deeds

IT HAS been going the rounds of the
press that the good women of Char
lotte will make effort to have the law
against selling cigarettes to minors
in this State enforced. The move
ment will be watched with interest:
for many people believe that the
cigarette is doing more to ruin the
youth of the land than the monu-
mental evil of intemperance. The
press everywhere condemns the prac-
tice on the part of the youth; and
with the women of the country push
ing the matter it is hoped that the
law referred to may not longer be a
dead letter in North Carolina Scot
land Neck Commonwealth.

pity is that their lives should be

to be gained, after victory is accom-

pay in money, not to mention
prcciou, lives.
