OPEN AIR FOR WOMEN.
Outdoor Exercise is Beneficial to the
 Sex in Many Ways.

Women as a rule regard time spent in open-air exercise as wasted. If they would he ad the monitions of their medical advisers they would soon dis card such an idea as fallacious. The girls of the present day are doing much to overthrow the old theories and to bring about a healthful belief in fresh air and exercise. American girls have been admired for beauty and charm, but hitherto our young women as whole have lacked staying power. They have had vivacity. esprit and grace but they have tired too soon and faded too early. A woman should not begin to go off att30; she should, with prope" attention to diet, sleep and systematic life in the open, be far lovelier then than at 20. and little older in appear ance.
 Considering woman as an individual there is no reason why she should De inferior to man in Vigor nor less able than he to take on herself the burdens of life. Certainly she may fence. swim, go yachting and generally seek red blood in the oeu." English women can no longer carry off the palm from tneir American cousins for enjoyment of outdoor exercise in all weathers and for ability to take long walks and rides. Their only remaining advantage lies in the fact that we have over here inher- ited a handicap in the troublesome pu- ritan conscience which makes us SC f. condemnatory whenever We are having a good time and inclines Us to be sus-
 picious of our own rectitude when we are devoting daylight to honest play.

Anecdote of William L. Yancey.

The old ante e-bellum life in the South was a unique thing-one of the hnest phases worth living and worthily lived of which we have record. Luxury. re- finement. noble manners and culture met you on every hand. Intellectual and social life never. among any peo- ple in any time reached higher level than among the noblesse of the South. But we look in vain for any great or lasting literary product of the South ern mind in that time. Southern men were men of affairs" politicians. ora tors, statesmen. When a bright North ern woman in conversation with Will liam l.. Yancey said: But you South erners must confess your lack of liter ary achievement: where is your poetry, your fiction your history" Madam. said Yancey. with a deep bow, "our poetry is in our lives: our fiction will come when truth ceases to satisfy us; as for history. we have made about all that has glorified the United States" Then. in a three-minute oration, he told the whole story of Southern chiv- airy from Light Horse Harry Lee down to the splendid charge of Jeffer- son Davis at Monterey"

Under the New Law Shetiffs Who Delay Their
Returns viii be Displaced and Tx
Coll ctors be Appointed.

The returns from the various sheritfs
of the State come in slowly, and the
State is needing the money! to meet the
appropriations State Treasurer Lacy
states that of the ninety sheriffs
in North Carolina but forty -eight have
made complete returns, leaving forty-nine
yet to be heard from. OF these forty
nine there are twenty-five who are given
by old law until May 1st to make settle
ment with the State This leaves twenty
seven sheriffs wha have only made par
tial settlement Of the taxes of their
counties.
Under the new law enacted by the late
Legislature each sheriff must settle
monthly with the State, these payments
to be made always by the 10th of the
month following the collections. The
law in regard to the final settlement is
that each sheriff must settle in full by
September of each year, or the County
Commissioners will take charge of the
tax books, forbid the sheriff from any
further collections and appoint tax
collector For the county.
This is a stringent regulation, but a
just one, and sheriffs who want to hold
to their positions as tax collectors must
either do the work or give way to some
one else.
