ing a summer afternoon than sculling
idly In the shade Of the great trees, on
the CLASSY surface OF the water, with
Lady Mildred's proud, sweet face be-
fore him, shaded by her wide brimmed
hat.
A long silence fell upon both during
the latter part of that row, and as they
walked slowly home together under a
sahron-colored evening sky they hard
iy spoke at. all. Lady Mildred was
thinking that her companion, with
twenty thousand year to back him,
was more than endurable. Bernard
was wishing that Marguerite could
have the advantage of a few lessons
In the art Of dress from Lady Mildred.
He wished so even more when her
hdyship walked into the drawing
room some time later, her clear-cut
face and plant figure set OF by anne
thyst-colored plush, which caught the
light on all its rippling folds.
She was conscious, as she entered,
that she was looking at that moment
as beautiful as 1t was in her power to
look, but nothing In her perfect man
ners betrayed the thought. She
crossed the room slowly, purposely
stopping on the way to replace some
flowers which had fallen from a vase.
AS she turned again. her glance fell
upon gentleman who stood on the
white fur hearthrug. talking to her
father. A sudden change passed over
the face which before had been only
beautiful. No other man ever carried
himself with such careless grace as
this man. AS he stood, only the back
OF his head visible, she knew that II
was Valdane; her breath came more
quickly, her heart beat faster at the
thought She stood perfectly still, her
eyes fixed upon him. Then he turned
slowly round. saw her, and at once
came forward. She moved not an
inch. but remained where she was, the
brilliantly lighted room bringing out
every point of her beauty.
Their hands met, and In that mo-
ment she knew that he was changed.
He looked i'll and worn. but in her
eyes thousandfold more lovable. His
greeting was cordial. but 1t lacked the
delightful tone of mutual understand
ing. Almost In terror she scanned his
face for the wherefore, but found It
not.
Il did not know that you had come"
she said.

The most offensive of all dis
eases becomes more intense as cold
weather approaches. In fact,
many who have been under treat
ment for SO long, and during the
summer feel little discomfort from
the disease, are almost persuaded
that they have been cured. But
the first chilling blast of winter
proves that the disease is still with
them, and as the winter advances,
their Catarrh grows in severity.
Those who have felt only a slight
touch of Catarrh may be sure that
only cold weather is needed to de-
velop the disease. What appears
to be only bad cold will prove
more difficult to cure than for
merly, and will return with more
frequency, until before long the
disease is fully developed.

plications, but they had no effect what

COL. CARR ON THE NEGRO.
Why it is-Best That He Should Re-
tire from Politics.

Col. Julian S. Carr, of Durham, N.
c., who was seen at the Raleigh last
evening, is one Of the most interest
ing and picturesque personalities OF
the Old North State. He fought
four years for the Southern Con-
federacv; laid down his gun when
General Lee surrendered, and with
out a dollar in his pocket went back
home and commenced blowing in a
field of cotton alongside one of his
ex-slaves. A short while ago he sold
out his interest in his mammoth to-
bacco factory at Durham for the snug
sum of 1920, 900, though he retains
the presidency of the company at a
salary of $4,000 a year. Colonel
Carr has snow-white hair and mus
tache, ruddy cheeks blue eyes, and
at the age of four and fifty, looks in
the prime of life. He was student
in the University of North Carolina
when the Civil war interrupted his
education, but he is sincere believer
in the beneficent work of the school
master, and is probably the only
Southern man who ever sent dol
lar to the North in aid of that worthy
cause. He gave Bishop Hurst 80, 900
to help along the proposed American
University that is to be established
in the city of Washington.
"Our Legislature, which is now in
session." said Colonel Carr, "will,
| am sure, enacca wise election law.
The welfare of the State demands an
educational qualification for suffrage
in line with the statutes already in
force in South Carolina, Louisiana
and Mississippi. A great many
ignorant black voters will be barred
from the ballot, but the result will be
salutary, for the Government will be
administered by intelligent men, who
are also the property holders OF the
Commonwealth.
II am not afraid to proclaim my
self the friend of the negro. | want
to see him rise in the scale Of hui
mainly, and l am ever ready to help
him in misfortune. / have seen 200
negroes in my employ march to the
polls and vote the Republican ticket
solidly. None of them lost their job
on that account. But it is better for
both whites and blacks that the negro
should retire from politics. 1t was a
great mistake to enfranchise the race
wholesale, and thinking men of all
parties now admit it. In disfranchis-
ing a large per cent. of negroes on
the ground of illiteracy North Caro-
lima is not demonstrating any
hostility toward them. On the con-
trary, public sentiment is strongly
in favor of befriending them, for we
are going to give the colored people,
pupil for pupil, exactly the same in
dollars and cents as is devoted to the
| free education of the whites.
Il have made more than casual
study of the question; have examined
| into the treatment accorded the negro
| in the cities of the North and the
| towns and on the farms of the South,
and my entire observation leads me
! to the conclusion that he is far better
situated in the Southern country
than in the States North of the
Potomac. Washington Post, 4th.

GOOD ROADS RATHERT THAN STATE
FAR1S.

An observant and intelligent far
mer of Mecklenburg who does not
talk much, but who always says
something when he does talk, suggests
to the Observer that the State farm
problem is one which is after all quite
easy of solution. His idea is to abol-
ish State farms and to hire out the
convicts to the various counties and
put them to work at building good
roads. The suggestion is worthy of
consideration. Experience has proved
that the State farm is not a desir-
able institution. 1t is an unprotit-
able investment for the State and a
burden to the taxpayers. 1t touches
the farmers bocket-book in another
way, for it brings him into COM
petition with convict labor. The Oh
serrer has information that the
farmers of Arson county have
suffered sorely by reason of the COM
petition which they have met in the
Wadesbo market with the products
of the State farm near that place.
The volume of this competition is in
the ratio of 20 wagons of convict
products to one wagon of the Arson
county farmer, who with his little
store, has to dispose of it in COM
petition with convict labor prices.
Thus the State farm there not only
fails to advantage the State, but
works positive evil to the farming
industry.
This alone would seem sufficient to
Justify the adjustment of the State
farms entirely when by such action an
undesirable institution would not
only be done away with, but every
county that wants good roads could
at the same time be given the OPP
portunity of securing them, the
argument is immensely strengthened.
The only, question is, would the
counties call for the convicts? I'm
doubtedly they would take all the
State could furnish, judging by the
demands made by individual counties
during the past two years. The de-
mand for road workers is bound to
increase with the growth of the good
roads sentiment, and that is spread
ing over the State at rapid rate.
The State. by hiring out the convicts
to the counties, would not only get
rid of the running expenses of the
State farms, but would be relieved of
the expense of feeding, clothing and
guarding the convicts, while the peo-
pie would be the gamers in proper
ton to the number Of miles of good
roads constructed each year. On the
position that good roads are more de-
sirable than State farms, we submit
this matter to the consideration of
the Legislature, believing that it fur
nishes the foundation for sound and
beneficial Observation-Disclosures o.
Strrer.
