BIG DEAL
ON TAPIS
Means Much to Main
Street.
Two Merchants May Unite
In Erection of Brick Block.
To Replace Old Structures.

We learn today of real estate trans
fer about to be made which will have o
great deal to do with the building up
of Main street as it should be. Mr.. j..
L. Warbasse who is one of the princi-
pies in the undertaking, is now the
owner of the Model Bakery building
and he also has an option on the store
building which he now occupies. The
building owned by Mr.. Kelly and oc-
cupied by the Denison Clothing Co.
stands between. It is proposed that
Mr.. Warbasse shall purchase the
building he now occupies and trade it
to Mr.. Kelly. In that event Mr.. War
basse would own two adjoining lots.
Mr.. Youngblood is in the deal and he
expects to purchase one of the lots
from Mr.. Warbasse and the two will
then erect a handsome double brick
store building that will be credit to
the town. The deal is such compli-
Gated one and involves SO many trans
fers that it may fall through, but it is
the hope of all the business men OF
Denison that it may not do so There
is one thing of which we feel certain,
that some thing will come of these
transactions and that within a year
4 Main street will have an entirely diff.
/ ferent aspect than at present

PUBLIC GALLONS A CENTURY
AGO

Even if the bicycle had been invented
hundred years ago, touring could
hardly have become very popular, at all
events for solitary cyclists. The old
guide books were by no means cheerful
reading. run from London to East
Grinstead, a distance of five or six and
twenty miles, would have taken the
wheelman past three gibbets and 1t
was just as likely as not that from one
or the other of them a body would be
swinging in the wind. Up till the be-
ginning of the century just closed the
gallows was almost as frequent land
mark as finger posts or public houses
have become now. The traveller
approaching York is directed by the
guide books to turn round by the gal
lows and three windmills," and the road
out to Durham is between the gal
lows and Crokehill" Going out oil
Wells you ''cross the brook and pass
by the gallows." Any number Of such
directions can be CLEANED from the olu
books for the guidance of travellers
hundred years ago, and as these inter
esting objects were put up and the deau
bodies of malefactors left upon them
for the special edification of footpauS
and highwaymen, there was suggeS-
tiveness about them that must have
given a special piquancy to cycle tour
ing IL 1t had been in vogue at that time

The sun, moon and stars have ever
had fascination for children. and the
old myths relating to their origin is as
dear to the little folk today as they
were to the Greeks and Romans.
Plant life is closely allied to animal
life. Indeed, one is dependent on the
other. The things we eat-the rice. the
taro, the sugar-have stored up within
them food for mental thought as well as
nourishment for the physical organism.
The rice field, the taro patch, the sugar
plantation, has a great charm for the
child and furnishes him with an endless
amount of information.
Memory reading should have a distinct
place in every grade OF the school. Be

SHOOTING AT CIRCUS PERFORMANCE.
Greensborougb, parish seat OF ST.. He
lena parish, Ls., was the scenes of great
excitement Saturday night. A circus
was giving performance In the little
village, and was generally attended.
A negro named Archie Nettles bought
ticket to the concert" and when the
collector passed through the audience
he refused to give up the ticket, claim
ing that IS he had bought 1t it was his.
The collector insisted, and then the me-
gro drew revolver and unloaded it
into the crowd. Mr.. Long, one OF the
proprietors Of the show, was shot 10 the
hand; an aged negro received a bullet
through the shoulder, and Miss Maud
Wilson, one OF the bellies OF the parish,
and niece of h. Wilson, Representative
from the district in the State Legislature,
was wounded 10 the hand aud In the
leg. The negro escaped, and two
posses were soon after him. O0e was
o lynching mob, the other sheriff's
posse, in charge OF E. B. Watson,
sheriff. The lawful organization was
the luckier, and, having captured
Nettles, succeeded 10 bringing him to
New Orleans, where he now lies In the
Parish Prison. He will be returned for
trial as soon as popular feeling shall
have quieted down.

ties of that war were 80 great, and the
influence OF those interested 10 them
was SO powerful, that Mr.. Mckinley
willingly submitted, Notwithstanding
all his professed love OF humanity and
civilization. Two hundred thousand
Spanish soldiers, familiar with the
Cubans for centuries, could not make
orderly and well behaved people of
them, and surely few thousand Amer
icsns, solely intent upon pelf, could
not have betn expto.ed to do SO dur

MANY good and true, and wise, demo
Gratis were opposed to the constitutional
convention until the party to which
they belong endorsed it. Now all such
men give it their support, and, what's
more. they approve restriction upon the
suffrage of thriitless, Ignorant and vic
ious negroes and oppose submitting the
amended constitution to such people
for rejection or ratification. Not only
the democracy but the loyalty of white
men to their State, and to the South,
may be doubted, wien they talk and
write in opposition to the proposed con-
stitation to any ofits provisions, and In
favor OF submitting 1t to those who will
oppose its adoption.
