THEY ARE EXCEEDINGLY FOND or

The Advantage of Knowing Dhtances to
Points Held by tie Enemy-They hno"
the Exact Elevation Niece sary to Drop a
Bullet at n Bush With Deadly Effect.
The killing of Gen. Lawton by the
bullet of some unknown fllplhe
sharpshooter recalls an interesting lit
tie story which was told by one OF the
officers of the Tennessee regiment
when it passed through the city re-
Gently on it's way home from service In
the Far East.
'In the first advance which We made
north Of Manila" he said we dlscoV-
cred that the native sharpshooters
were exceedingly fond of locating
range-marks on ground they thought
we would he apt to traverse. They
would know the exact elevation neces-
eary to drop a bullet at some bush,
stump or pile of stones. and If sold
Ter approached the spot he was pretty
certain to get it. Sometimes several
men would be killed or wounded before
the deadly indicator would be obserV-
ed. and when any sharpshoottng was
going on our boys learned eventually
to avoid all conspicuous objects that
1UOASu DIS IL lHSy AAA W WYNN ~
lected as range-marks. Otherwise the
Filipinos are not remarkable as shots. .
A very similar story was told by SOL
diers who participated in the fighting
before Santiago. They say that almost
every Spanish rifleman hidden away In
a tree-top had a scale Of distances
carefully noted by marks at various
points, and some Of these range-tnd-
ers acquired sinister fame. Some lit
tie distance from the first emergency
hospital was the wreck Of Ct heavy two
wheeled native wagon, with pole
sticking straight up into the air. 1t
was on the edge of path to the near
est creek, which was frequently ira
versed. and three soldiers were shot
near the heap Of rubbish before it be-
came evident that a hidden sharp
shooter was using it to sight by
A couple of days later there was
systematic raid on the men in the tree
tops, and most of them were swept ont
by the machine guns, but in the mean
while the old wagon and other objects
that appeared to have been located as
distance marks were scrupulously
Stunned 1t is very possible that the

with some such Indicator at the mo-
ment he received his death wound.

When to Stop Advertising.

An English journal requested
a number of its largest advertls
ers to give their opinions con>
corning the right time to stop
advertising, and the following
replies were received
When the population ceases
to multiply, and thu generations
that crowd on after you and new
er heard Of you stop coming On
When you have convinced ev-
erybody whose life will touch
yours that you have better goods
and lower prices than they can
get any where else.
When others stop making for
tunes light in your sight solely
tt ragh the direct use of the
mighty agent.
When you forget the words OF
the shrewdest and most success
full men concerning the main
cau:e of their prosperity.
When younger and fresher
houses in your line cease start
ing up and using the trade jour
uals in telling the people how
much better they can do fol-
them than you can.
When you would rather have
your own way and fail than take
advice and win.

given in these words, suggests
the Baltimore Manufacturers

When you have decided tc

tentialities for good. 1t black

In the impulsiveness and wild

Pearl OySterS.

The shellfish in which most of the
pearls are found is known as the pearl
oyster. 1t resembles the Marennes oy-
ster, its she'll being very thick and be-
ing closed, not after the manner of an
ordinary oyster, but by q series of
horny fibres. These oysters are found
in large quantities at a certain depth
in the Persian Gulf, on the coast of
Ceylon, in the Red Sea and the CULTS
Of Panama and Mexico, as we'll as
along the coast of California.
An interesting account of the man
ner in which this work is done follows:
A number of men, are seated beside a
low table, and near each of them is a
pile of pearl oysters. In front stand
overseerS, who never take their eyes
from the workers. Not word is spok-
en-; not single unnecessary move
ment it allowed. Pearls are so small
and so valuable that, it seems, extreme
precautions of this kind must be tax
en- to guard against their being stolen.
The workers open the shells with kniv-
es, then tear out the fish and squeeze
them to find if they contain pearls
The debris is then passed to other
workers, who make a second search
The shells meanwhile are freed from
seaweed and other impurities and are
placed in a bag. The remains Of the
fish, after they have been subjected to
a third searching examination, are laid
In a heap. When the days work is
over they are taken away and cooked.
The pearls, as they are found, are
placed in cases according to their size.
True pearls are found in other she'll
fsh besides the pearl oyster. There
are oysters in England, Scandinavia
and the Pyrenees in which some beau
tiful pearls have been found. The
pearl oyster, however, is par excellence
the home of the true pearl.

A BRILLIANT TRIO.

Hon. Julian S. Carr, Hon.
Alfred M. Waddell and Hon. F.
NJ. Simmons have formally an
nounced their candidacy for a
seat in the United States Senate.
This is, indeed, a brilliant trio.
1t is magnificent wealth of tall
ent, true culture, native intellect,
stirling manhood, and broad
craftsmanship. Each of these
gifted gentlemen is we'll fitted
for the high position to which
he aspires.
Each would wear the coveted
honor with elegance and grace.
Each has served his State faith
fully and we'll. Ea oh possesses
high ambitious aspirations for
his beloved common wealth. In
the hands of either one of them
Carolina would be safe, her in
terests protected, her honor
jealousy guarded and her fame
advanced. North Carolinans
should esteem themselves fort
innate in having such men from
whom to select a senator to sue

Odd Things Cuba.

Some odd things happen in Cuba.
When man wishes fence around his
yard or field he doesn't build 1t, he
plants it-and it grows, too. First lie
cuts a great bundle Of piniOn twigs,
then he scratches a little trench
where he wants his fence to run and
finally he sticks in the tWlgs in row
a few inches apart. The soil OF Cuba
is so rich and tue weather so warm
and moist that directly the tWigs take
root, throw out branches and leaves
and presently there is a dense hedge
of pinon trees enclosing the field. And
there are no nails to drop out here nor
boards to fall down and let in the cat
tie and the fence is good for a hun
dred years.
Nor is that the most curious thing
that one may see in Cuba. What
would you think of a camp table that
grew? While the American soldiers
We're camped back at Santiago they
made great numbers of little tables
by driving forked sticns in the ground
for legs and using a top of boards. OF
course the legs took root and some OF
these tables are now nicely shaded by
1eafy branches, and in two or three
years four nice trees will be growing
there, and no one will ever dream that
they were once table legs. Another
curious thing. At Guantanamo an old
tin can was fastened around the
branch of a big Cuban laurel tree
some four or five feet from it's leafy
end 1t was packed full of earth, and
Americans wondered what could be the
purpose of it.
That's simple enough" said the Gu
ban householder. I'm a few weeks
roots will grow in the earth inside the
tin can. Then we can cut off the limb
just back of the can, stick it in the
ground, take away the can and it will
grow into tree"
Plant a caulifower plant in Cuba
and instead of spreading out in a bis
fat head like a cabbage, it spindles up
for all the world like a sunfiower,
three or four feet high with big, rank
leaves and a little flower at the top
that you never could recognize as a
cauliflower.

STRIP FOR THE FIGHT.

We are standing amid the
sunset glories of the nineteenth
century. Strange aud wondrous
forces are playing about US.
Deep and profound problems
await solution. Questions far
reaching and tremendous are to
be answered. These questions
involve the destiny Of magni-
fcent civilization wrought out
by the matchless heroism of a
superb manhood. The rightful
answer to these questions will
add solidity, strength and SYM
metry to the governmental struc>
ture reared by the wisdom and
the proves of chlvalric ances>
tors. The rightful answer to
these questions will insure the
perpetuity, the enlarged useful
ness and the fadeless glory OF
our beloved American institu-
tons.
A wrong answer would be ter
ribly disastrous. 1t would shiv~
er to atoms the massive columns
supporting constitutional liberty
and the magnificent superstruc>
ture-which is but the crystalli>
cation of the hopes and aspira>
tons, the tears and prayers, the
heroic struggles and patriotic
fervor of a hundred years
would go laundering to the
earth. America would become
the laughing stock of the ma
tons. America would signally
fail to accomplish her glorious
mission to the world.
The great ship Of state has
already broken loose from the
old time moorings. She is
drifting, drifting upon strange
and untried waters. The Scyl>
la of imperialism and the Char
ybdis Of militarism threaten to
devour her. The maelstrom
OF trusts yawns to engulf her.
Manhot d, the richest and best
production Of the Master hand
of God, is daily sacrificed be-
meath the marble dome Of our
National Capitol.
The dollar has become the
National God and fawning syc-
ophantic worshippe:s crowd
about his gilded shrine and seek
10 40 MIN homage.
If the republic Of our fathers
is to be preserved. if thu civic
power is to dominate the milita>
ny, if the individual is not to be
bound in exorable serfdom to
trusts and com bines, if manhood
and not glittering gold is to
govern this nation then vel
must strip for the fight. We
must follow the nodding plume
of the great commoner William
Jennings Bryan and under his
matchless leadership hurl back
the enemy that threatens the
very life Of the nation.

A Wonderful Change Which Took Place in
n short Time.

A Wonderful Change Which Took Place In
short Time.
A new story - being told in Europe
about David Col the Antwerp painter,
who died recently. AS he was at work
in his studio CIe day many years ago
there entered q farmer, who requeSteh
him to paint his fathers portrait. The
artist, Lot being overwhelmed WIN
wealth at that time, gladly agreed to
do the work, and said that he would
be pleased to see the old gentleman at
any time ThereupOn the farmer said,
mournfully:
ooh, you can't see him, sir. for he's
dead"
Then how on earth do you expect
me to paint his portrait?'' asked the
artist, with a sigh.
ooh, you're fooling me, sir" said the
farmer. Just tell me whose picture
that is on the easel there"
THAT is portrait Of St. Anthony"
was the answer
''Is that really ST. Anthony"
yes"
"Did he sit to your"
"Of course not"
well, then, isn't that q clear proof
that you are able to make the portrait
of dead man."
Col, who wanted money badly, al
lowed himself to be persuaded by this
novel argument, and, therefore, he OBJ
tanned from the farmer as many partic-
ulars about the dead man as he could,
and then. after making a sketch of the
son, because he said that he closely
resembled his father, he began work
On the portrait. When it was finished
he sent for the farmer and showed it
to him. To his surprise the man fell
on his knees and began to cry bitterly,
his eyes meanwhile fixed or the por-
trait. Col fiattecId himself that he had
made a life-liha portrait, and that it
was the wonderful resemblance which
caused the son to griave so sorely.
why do you cry so much?" he ask
ed, trying to comfort him.
"Oh, my dear sir was the unexpect-
ed reply, Il never thought that any
one could change SO much in such a
short time. Dear me, how terribly
ugly my poor father has become"
