The Wichita Eagle says that it
might be well occasionally to be able
TO see into the future. If Kansas
Populist ten years ago had been asked
to think of his condition in 1901, he
would have pictured himself a white
slave, downcast and footsore in the
clanking, shutting coffle. utterly
undone. He never would have sus-
pected that ten years further along
his hogs would be bringing 1928. his
wheat 20 cents, his corn 60, and he
would be getting bow-legged carrying

How little it takes to make one SUI
premely happy, sometimesl Just a
loving look, maybe, or a tender word,
or warm hand clasp, or a little token
of remembrance of some kind, or even
the cherished memory OF one or all of
these things, and the heart beats a
little faster and the spirits become
little more buoyant, and the eye
brightens and the step Quickens, and
the flowers seem more beautiful, and
the melody of the birds seems sweeter,
and life more worth living, all be-
cause of some little thing like one of
these. A little thing? Oh, no. These
be big things. They come from big
hearts, and big brains, and are big in
results. Marion Record.

The schoolmaster is abroad in the
Philippines. Instead of squeezing
the people of the islands by unjust
taxes, the civil government lets them
alone in what they have and sends
schoolmaSterS to teach them the lam
guage, the arts anu mixiTns of AmerI-
ca, and thus inculcate- loyalty to the
government that freed them from the
yoke of Spain. True there has been
but feeble beginning, as there are
more than IA million and half children
of school age in the islands, but what
is being done in imparting to the

Never Loses A Day.

A. H. ROOT CAME HERE FOF
HEALTH AND ENJOYS THE
BEST OF IT WHILE HE AT
TENDS TO A PROSPEROUS
BUSINESS.
"Sinca beginning business IN
Southern Pines, | have not been
kept away from the store single
day on account of illness; but in
Springfield, Massachusetts, where
| was in business before coming
here, l was unable to devote more
than half of my time to work on
on account of i'll health"
This is what A. II. Root has to
say for the climate of Southern
Pines. lie has been a merchant
for II years; but broken health
compelled him to give up his
business in the North, and come to
this place in 1898. Shortly after
his arrival here he formed a partner
ship with H. S. Wakeman, Jr., and
started grocery and fruit business
under the firm name of Root &
Wakeman. They prospered from
the start and in August, 1899, the
original storeroom was moved to
the rear and new one built 10
connect with it. The volume of
business for first year was about
$4,000. In January 1900, Mr..
Wakeman retired from the firm
and Mr.. Root bought out his
interest. Since then he has done
business alone. Last years
business amounted to about $12,-
500, all increase of 25 per cent
over the first year.
Mr.. Root says that there is a
demand each season for higher
and more expensive grade Of goods;
that he does not handle anything
but firstclass goods, in any line, as
he prefers to have his customers
object to the price, rather than to
the quality Of the things they
purchase. If they do not like the
quality, they never come back;
but if the quality is right, they |
are usually willing to pay the
price; and thus become regular
customers. Mr.. Root handles a
complete line of groceries and
fruits and in the resorting season,
makes a speciality Of fine box
candies; Lowney's and Registers,
and also of the finest grades OF
oranges, bananas and apples. He
is also local agent for the Leon
steam laundry, of Charlotte, said to
be one of the best in the state.

For Good Streets.

THE MASS MEETING TO FURTHER
STREET IMPROVEMENT A SPLEN-
DID SUCCESS.
The good streets movement is
growing. Public sentiment is solid
on the matter. The mass meeting
held last Monday evening at the
band stand showed Enthusiastically
that the citizens of Southern Pines
are not only willing but determined to
have good streets. This sentiment
was unanimous, not word was
spoken against the project to improve
the streets and to do it at once. No
long, formal, prepared addresses we're
made on the subject; no oratorica1
sky-rockets were set off; but citizen
after citizen expressed his views, his
opinions, his convictions, in plain,
straightforward, common-sense talk.
A citizens committee of five was ap-
pointed to go before the Board of
Commissioners and present to that
body the sentiment of the meeting,
the concensus Of public opinion and
public will and request the Board to
take immediate steps toward the ac-
complishment of the purpose of the
people, the betterment CT our streets.
The following resolution was adopted
unanimously:
Resolved-That it is the sense of
this meeting, a representative one of
Southern Pines citizens, that the
Board of Commissioners be urged to
take immediate measures for the i'm
provement of our streets and side
walks, and that all present pledge
their moral support and approval of
such action.
The meeting was called to order
about $40 o'clock, by Squire c. w.
Shaw, who announced the purpose
and object of the gathering, and
stated that several citizens we're able
and willing to advance the money
necessary for the work and accept
the notes of the town in return, pay
able after the annual taxes have been
collected in the winter After these
preliminary remarks, W. F. Junge
was appointed chairman of the meet
ing and Capt. A. M. Clarke was
called upon for speech. After him
came DR.. w. P. SWEET, Rev. H. T.
Gregory, c. D. Tarbe1l, l. L. Hamlin,
R. M. Couch, E. Addor and others.
The problem of ways and means, fin
was we'll discussed. different
plans of doing the work were pro-
posed; various suggestions as to pre-
pairing road-beds from the material at
hand were made; the movement for
street improvements generally re-
ceived fresh and decided impetus.
The following gentlemen were ap-
pointed as citizens committee: !. L.
Hanlin, R. NJ Couch, DR.. w. P.
SWEET, Capt. A. M. Clarke and w.
F. Junge. Mr.. Junge was made
chairman of the committee. The
Southern Pines Cornet Band, colored,
was thanked for it's music and the
adjourned.

Why is Theodore Roosevelt spoken
OF as the twenty-sixth President Of the
United States. when he is only the
twenty-hfth man to hold that office?
obviously because some one thought
iessly spoke Of President Cleveland.
whose two terms Of office were discon-
nected, as the "twenty-second ard
twenty-fourth President of the United
states. But in a list OF men, not of
terms OF office. should Mr.. Cleveland be
assigned two numbers2 1t is more log
to call him the twenty-second Pres
ldent OF the United States, since he
was the same man i'm both terms, and
accordingly to call Mr.. Roosevelt the
twenty-iifth President. He is filling out
the twenty-ninth Presidential term.
