HOMICIDE IN THE COUNTRY.

Harris.

Harris.
Friday two men William Reece and
reter Harris, living in the Woods
worth neigh borhood Of Vance county.
came to Henderson on business.
They were riding in separate wagons
and some other men were along with
them. While here they were drink
ing more or less and one or both of
them had bottle of whiskey along as
they were going back. 1t seems as
if bad blood had existed between the
two men for some time. Harris had
married step daughter of Recess to
which the latter had never become
reconciled they having run away to
get married.
The men quarreled on the way home
and attempted to fight time or two.
They were separated and finally
made friends and shook hands. After
going for some distance when about
5 miles from town Harris got out Of
his wagon and went to Recess. A
tight ensued with the result that
Reece struck Harris with a knife in
tiicting wound just below the heart

within few minutes.
A messenger was sent back to town
and the authorities notified. The
body was removed to the late home of
the dead man, most of the witnesses
having gone on, and an inquest was
held next day by Coroner Dean. The
verdict of the jury was in effect sub
stantially as above, that Peter Harris
came to his death by being stabbed
with knife in the hands of William
Reece.
Reece left for parts unknown as
soon as he saw that he had killed
Harris and has not been apprehended.

by snake Tuesday from the effects
OF which he suffered greatly for
time. DR.. f. X. Harris was sent for
and in little while had the little fell

remedy used was preparation OF the
late Dr.. Willis Lewis, an extract made
from IA well known woods plant,
which DR., Harris happened to know
had acted like a charm in cases of
snake and spider bite before. The
snake which bit young Rowland was
a moccasin, a very poisonous species.

DEAD PASSION.
There Is Nothing Else So Dead as One
Mrs. Wilcox Says.

There Is Nothing Else So Dead as One
Mrs. Wilcox Says.
A man writes me that l do very
wrong to advise wives to conquer and
control capricious passion for other
men. He says 1t is a husbands duty
to give his wife the love she cries for
no matter II it necessitates her leaving
husband and children. He says: MY
wife, the mother OF three children,
told me she loved another. We waited
several years in friendly companion
ship only and then separated. She Is
married to the man she loved. / have
remained one of her best friends and
intimate with her husband. The Oldest
child went with me, visiting her when
ever he wishes; the other two re-
manned with the mother. We are both
far happier than had she been mourn
ing the lost paradise. My wife was
neither degenerate nor lunatic; she
neither ruined my life nor disgraced
her children. We have neither Of us
ever regretted the step. Our first and
sacred duty was to ourselves" or
course it indicates very noble quality
in mans nature when he gives his
wife her freedom and helps her to the
happiness she longs for with another.
1t is what Ruskin did, and is far more
sensible than a duel or a murder. l
admire and respect the man who does
1t. The man or woman who endeavors
to keep another's affection by force is
a selfish fool Marriage is only beau
tiful or moral when both parties are
loving and beloved. But it is easy to
out of love with such man as my
correspondent proves himself to be.
The husband who can remain in init
mate association with his divorced
wife after she marries another man,
who can comrade with his successor
is lacking in delicacy, in sentiment, In
refinement and in passion. 1t Is no
wonder his wife wanted a change. To
be the friend in feeling to her is one
thing-to associate with her in her
new relations is quite another. IL
savors of Mormon sm-and the thought
of it gives one unpleasant chllls down
the spine. There is nothing so dead as
q dead passion. The corpse should be
buried at once-and not carried about
in view of the whole world. There is
something lacking in the woman who
could permit such an association as
this. The woman Of real delicacy does
not like to be intimately associated
with an old sutton after she is married
to a man she loves. She does not like
to be reminded that she ever allowed
any other man than her husband to
make love-like advances to her. She
wishes her old admirers well, but she
does not want them for intimate
friends, and certainly she does not
want retired husband lowering about
her. Neither does the best and worth
lest type of man want old sweethearts
old mistresses or old wives around his
new menage. 1t is all very indicate
and little short of disgusting.-Ella
Wheeler Wilcox in New York Evening
Journal.

A comparatively new profession in
America, and one that offers substan-
tial inducements to young men of spe-
cial aptitudes, is that of forestry. The
fact that the federal government Is In
creasing the area Of its forest pre-
serves largely every year, and that
many state governments are following
this laudable example suggests the
widening field already open to
students and specialists in the science
Of forestry. 1t is now generally recog-
nized that every large forest reserva-
tion or preserve needs for its proper
care and supervision corps Of men
trained for this special purpose. Ger
many, France and other European
countries have had their schools of
forestry for years, and their graduates
are found in charge Of forest lands in
every part Of the old world.

Since the first foreigner, in the per-
son Of Dutchman, landed on the is
land Of Sumatra in 1449, the native
Achinese have combatted the usurping
of their land foot by foot. In the be-
ginning Of the present century the is
land came into British hands, but was
soon restored to Holland. Then again
the Achinese took up arms against the
Dutch invaders. Although when the
Dutch can get the Achinese out in the
open they invariably beat them, the
war continues in desultory manner
today, and will only end when the last
native of Sumatra has been killed in
action. The number of Achinese killed
has never been known, but the war
has been very serious drain on the
manhood of Holland, and many of her
best soldiers were killed between the
years 1873 and 1879, when the struggle
was very bitter.
Three Centuries.
Since 1904, when the Persians sur
rendered Armenia to Turkey the num-
erous Sultans of Turkey have never
sheathed their swords in regard to the
former country, save in the flesh of
the inhabitants. True, every now and
again, when matters are very slow in
European politics, some country be-
comes righteously indignant and
concert of Europe is called and note
sent to the Sultan. Still the fighting
goes on-or, rather, the butchering. At
the beginning of the present century
Algiers finally passed into the hands of
France. From that time till the
present the French nation has always
kept an army of not less than $4,000
French troops garrisoned there, to
fight the Arabs who infest the hinter
land and raid the French possessions
at least once a year. Chief among
these are the Touaregs, who fight with
one-half OF their faces masked and
fight always to the death or victory.
Never once has Touareg been taken
alive. France cannot subdue them,
for, if beaten, they flee to the desert,
where no trained army can follow
them. From the day in 1920 when the
first Puritan settlers from England

The French kitchen, however small,
is always neat and in order, its brick
floor and blue and white thing giving
picturesque appearance, often accent
ed by rose-bush or other growing
plant in the window. Space Is
economical in every other point but
the range, which is strikingly gener-
Gus in size in comparison with other
appointments. The French cook de-
lights in copper kitchen utensils which
form such a shining array as to be al
most dazzling in effect. These are
hung in rows on the wall above and
convenient to the range, probably be-
cause kitchen closets are unknown in
France The dresser (much the same

The ENDLESS WARS.
Struggles That Have Been Waged
for Centuries.

landed on American soil, intermittent
war has been waged by the whites in
the United States against the original
Indian population. Gradually the
Cherokees, .Choctaws, Greeks and
Sioux have been driven further and
further back, till today but a compara-
lively few remain. Yet even now the
government deems it advisable to keep
a body of picked troops to guard the
Indian Territory, for every now and
again the old scalping spirit breaks out
in some young brave, and dire would
be the result were he not subdued be-
fore others could gather to follow him
on the warpath.
Mountain Fighters.
The Rifflans, who are the scourge OF
Morocco, resemble the Touaregs in that
they always give and take no quarter,
but, instead of living in the heart OF
the Sahara, they fight from their
mountain fortresses and keep the Sui
tan of Morocco in continual dread. To
keep his soldiers in good fettle the Sui
tan every year gives at least three
months fighting to them by picking a
quarrel with one of these fuedal hold
ers of the numerous semi-brigand
strongholds.
The Northwest Mounted Police OF
Canada were raised, and are kept, for
like purpose; and although their
work is not so arduous as that of their
American doubles, yet even they are
generally busy.
No one knows when the first blood
feud began in Corsica, or when the first
brigand set up shop. Nor can any one
tell when the last will put up his shut
tiers. Even in the time Of the Ro-
mans the inhabitants were too busy
fighting one another to care whether a
foreign garrison was left on the island
or not. But not day goes by with
out several lives being sacrificed in the
cause of some vendetta; and as each
life means the sacrifice in atonement
of at least two more there is today
hardly one Corsican whose life is not
wanted by fellow countryman, and
who, in running away, is not also chas-
ing some other person.
