NEVER KISSED A GIRL.

The papers are having much fun over
r. Crook, professor of mineralogy and
petrolcgy of the Northwestern University,
that he had never kissed a girl. Trying
to impress his students with the import
ance of concentrating their thoughts and
affections upon their studies, without
diversion OF paying attention to the girls,
Prof Crook said:
Il have travelled in all parts of Eu-
rope, have seen the women of Continental
nations l have not been interested in
such things. You must grasp the fact,
that the scientific atmosphere is inimical
to the love germ.
If the scientific atmosphere lis inimieal
to the love germ" so much the worse for
1.-The scientific atmosphere.
Commenting on the strange case of
Prof. Crook, the Baltimore Sun says:
professor Crook has acquired great
ness, and every mail brings him offers
of marriage. But he has a heart Of flint,
and like Pooh Bah in THE Mikado." he
mas IOiu all the UldfQS tildt Iie SduiOt
kiss them. He really has not the time.
When Professor Crook announced to his
class that he had never in all his life
kissed a girl or used any other kind Of
intoxicant one of the students told him
that he had missed a lot of fun, but the
learned gentleman evidently thinks the
girls have missed more than he has. An
admiring reporter describes him as grace
fully formed, forehead high and little
narrow, health shows in his skin and car
riage, his nose is cleanly cut, his eyes
grayish blue and full Of expression, and
his mouth, like Cupid's bow, just fixed
for kissing.
DIR Crook is professor of mineralogy
and petrology, and his heart has APP
parently become as hard as the stones
he studies and explains. But perhaps the
Professor may be one of the men to
whom the admonition was given. Let
him that thinketh he standeth take heed
lest he fall" For when he made his
famous announcement of being kissing
immune to his co-education class two OF
the prettiest girls were observed to blush.
and, it is said, then and there registered
a vow to break that record. II they did,
the Professor had better begin to quicker
his lips.

Byron for the human nature that was IN
him, and that great poet never objected
in the least of kissing or being kissed.

THE STRAIGHT OUT SORT" BEST.
Wilkesboro Chronicle.


Our Republican friends up here keep
talking around what conservative"
Democrats say and do and even advise
us that we ought to come out on the
conservative" side, that we would make
by it. And we see that some few papers
keep talking about the conservative ele-
ment." We confess that we do not fully
know what conservative" Democrat is.
We know what plain, honest straight
forward Democrat is; we've been one
ever since we had any correct knowledge
Of politics. A straight Democrat is sim
ply a citizen who honestly believes in
Democratic doctrine. talks Democratic
doctrine, at all times the same, and then
votes the Democratic ticket. This has
been our position so far in life, and If no
proof is produced to show us we are in
error, then you can count on us continuing
the same way as long as our days last
But as TO this new Kind of conservative"
Democrat, we don't know him. unless he
is the fellow who talks republican doc
trine, bemeans Democrat leaders and
principles, praises Republican slanderers
of his own neighbors, and then votes the
Democratic ticket if he votes at all be-
cause he is ashamed to be caught with
the negroes Or it may be the fellow
that gets all the offices he can in the
Democratic party and then in order to be
conservative" expects office of McKin-
ley and talks Republican doctrine. Of
course every man has a right to his
choice, but We like the straight out sort
the best and we wilbssull abide in their
tents. ERf, .@

COUPLED WITH A ISLANDER.

The Charlotte Observer has a quarter
Of column special from Washington
containing an interview with zen. Hsu-
ley, Connecticut's "he" Radical, approx
ing McLaurin's speech, and saying:
4 am very much gratifed over The po-
sition which has been taken BY Senator
McLaurin. l have no doubt that there
will be many men OF the South who as
the racial question mitigates, will work
with the Republican party The pros
pect for reconstruction is very hopeful.
To a certain extent it is almost an abso-
Lutte certainty.
Il think Southern people would be quite
right in joining the Republican party, for
there is no doubt that the furtherance
of the protective part of the organization
is of great benefit to the South. | do
not wish it to be understood however
that | am in favor of the adoption of any
measure or measures designed to sacri-
fee the rights of the colored voters.
advocate equal rights and denounce muir
der and fraud at the polls, and know that
men like Senator McLaurin take an equal
ly firm and unequivocal position on this
question.
This is equivalent to charging the
Democratic party in the South as now
constituted with fayoring murder and
fraud at the polls" which is a SANDER
that any man born in the South ought to
be ashamed to utter. Gen. Hawley couples
his endorsement of MeLaurin with SLAM
der of the South.
"The prospect for reconstruction" says
Senator Hawley, is very good" That is
what Hawley and the rest of his crowd
want-another reign of Reconstruction
and that is what will follow as the night
follows day whenever the Democratic
party loses its control in the South
Gen. Hawley repudiates the restriction
CT negro suffrage by South Carolina and
North Carolina, and would destroy both
these amendments. and yet he expects
Southern men who voted for them TO help
in second Reconstruction. Will they
do it? Not many, except a handful who
are put in Federal Offices by Mckinley.

COULDN'T BUY GEN. HAMPTON.

Senator McLaurin. who is distributing
Federal patronage in South Carolina. is
proceeding upon the theory that anybody
will take an office from this admins
tration. OF course, acceptance Of a pay
ing office in South Carolina means that
the recipient will either actively work for
McLaurin or will fight the regular De-
mocracy
Wade Hampton, the intrepid cavalry
leader, though out of politics, having no
sympathy with either Tillman of McLaurin,
is the last public man to be offered job
under Mckinley through McLaurin. A
special friend of McLaurin went as am
bassador to General Hampton to offer him
the position of postmaster at Columbia.
1t was declined. and here is what Cen
eral Hampton said THE PEOPLE OF
SOUTH CAROLINA SHOULD KNOW BY

BOUGHT"

made other men give was one of the most

DOES EXPERIENCE PROVE IT?

Statesville Mascot
The truest Dmocrats are never liked by
Republicans, but whenever Democrats or
Democratic papers get out of line with
their party Republicans and Republican
papers begin to praise them. The self
styled conservatives of North Carolina
are just now in high favor with the Re-
publican press of the State. Some Re-
publican papers openly boast that it will
be only a very short time until this ele-
ment Of the Democrats joins their party
and the constant talk of independence in
politics and eternal criticism of Demo-
cratic policies and leaders in which the
self styled conservative" indulge lead
to the belief that there is some founda-
ton for the Republican claim, for the way
to the Republican party is short one
to the Democrat who constantly breaches
independentism and whines at every thing
done by his party. Look back over your
experience, gentle reader, and deny this,
