more than 4 year and her death was
not unexpected Yst, good woman
that she was. widely known and
greatly loved, the painful tidings
carried profoundest sorrow to many
hearts here and elsewhere.
Mrs. Davis was the only daughter
Of DR.. Samuel ID. and Mrs. Ellie Will

Of superior character and Christian
virtues, richly endowed with physical

liable nature and lovable disposition
which endeared her to all who knew
her.
A member of the Episcopal church
and devout Christian Mrs. Davis
took an active part in the affairs Of
her church and was always promi-
nent in charitable work. She was an
officer in a number of charity organ

in the thought of others, hers was
truly beautiful and self-sacrificing
nature, doing good wherever she
could, quietly as an angel of mercy

Panacea Springs to be Developed.

Littleton News Reporter.
The Panacea Springs Company will
soon be incorporated, when a large
up-to-date hotel will be built at the
springs. An electric car line from
here to the springs is being consider
ed by capitalists looking for good
investment. Panacea water is highly
appreciated by the many who have
found it of incalculable benefit to
them. When surrounded by con-
venisnces worthy of public attention
it will become one of the most noted
and highly appreciated resorts for
those in search Of rest and recreation
in the State. To the incorporators
we believe it will be but little less
than a mint. The development OF
Panacea means much to this entire
section and to the afflicted Of the
whole country.

Newspapers as Educators.
WadesbOro Courier.

w dutSDOlo tUullSI
Now that the entire country is
waking up to the great Importance
of knowing things and an intellectual
era is close at hand, there is one
factor that should not be left I'M
henored.
Into almost every home some news
paper finds it's way and the boys and
girls who have begun to spell out
their words, eagerly grasp the copy
when it gets within the portals.
They take the home paper and
relish every sentence their young
minds can comprehend. A new spaper
| is not like State history, an I'M
reasonable reader. or foolish primer,
but is full of live. interesting matter.
Tells of events that have just trans
PRED and are happening now and the
children become enthused over the
knowledge they gain from the weekly,
semi-weeklv or daily visits OF the
product Of the new press.
| People that they know are talked
| of and it is but natural that the young
mind will soon lecrn to 90 further
into the current history as recorded
bv these regular issues and before
long they find themselves capable OF
discussing questions in an intelligent
manner, questions that affect the
welfare of their society, politics and
home.
Then if newspapers are performing
this function in the onward march Of
the literary world, they should re-
ceive the hearty support Of every
citizen in the community in which
they are published,
We ask you, in all sincerity, ii
there means OF educating your boys
and girls, that is in closer reach than
a country newspaper? You can ssnt
them all to this school fifty two weeks
in year for a very insignificant
sum. Will you allow them to grow
up in total ignorance of what the out
side world is doing, because you ar
unwilling to give them dollar o.
two for twelve months schooling?
Think over this and act upon it.

An Unworthy Character.
Durham Sun.

Durham Sun.
When you find man who viciously
assails people. he is always an I'M
worthy character. We never knew =
man who enjoyed abusing people,
but we never knew loafer who did
not. 1t is the loafer who says that
every clean. industrious, reputable
man is thief; he says it is an apol-
ogy for his worthlessness. When
YOU hear man slandering and
abusing other men the chances are
ten to one that the man talked about
has in some way befriended or been
beat by the fellow who is doing the
talking.
You all know that the successful,
industrious men in any community
are honest; success is impossible
without honesty. Trust money in
the hands of any successful, indus
trious man, and you will get it bacl
upon the date agreed upon.

History of Nvachovia in North Caro-.
lima.
The Outlook.

The Outlook.
This is valuable contribution to
American history, as well as to the
history of the Moravian church. The
twin towns of Salem and Winston in
North Carolina, divided only by 4
street, date their history from the
Moravian settlements in Wachovia-
the name originally given to the dis
trict, from the name of Count Zinzen-
DORIS estate in Austria. Hither the
emigrants came in 1853 by six
weeks journey through the forests
from the Moravian settlement at
Bethlehem. Pennsylvania. The his
tory of their enterprise in its perils,
its preservation from hostile whites
and Indians, its institutions, and its
success. is fully told by DR.. Clewell
from records hitherto unpublished.
1t is timely publication for this CEN
tennial year of the Salem Female
Academy, the third in point Of age OF
American schools for the high educa-
ton of women.

A Small Boys Presence of Mind.

Mr.. D. II. Mangum returned last
week from Rocky Mount with his
little son, Master Thad, who.had been
there several weeks with his grand
mother. The little fellow had good
time although he was the victim of a
fire while away. Prof. Wilson's home
(where he was staying) was burned
together with two or three other
residences Thad lost all his clothes
and two dollars in money which he
had in his (father's) dress suit case,
escaping with only what he had worn
the day before. But this did not give
him as much trouble as the clothes he
saved. In the hurry of dressing him
his pants were put on hind part be-
fore. Not being fit for company he
refused to leave the house, nor would
he be comforted until the bag in his
pants did not show at the front.
Who says that small boy hasn't
wonderful presence of mind? All of
which prompts the remark that the
father thinks If the son was half as
careful about preserving his pants
from the ravages of barbed-wire
fences and nails in impromptu
toboggan slides as he is about how
they should be put on it would mean
dollars saved to him.

AMONG THE GOOD PEOPLE OF ROWAN
The Editor Enjoys a Brief Outing-A
Night Spent in Durham-A Growing
Town and Clever Peopie-The Caro-
lima Hotel

Inc Editor ENJOYS a bfieI Outinx-A
Night Spent in Durfam-A Growing
Town and Clever Peopie-The Caro-
lima Hotel.
The editor returned from the Press
Convention Tuesday. From Saturday
evening to Monday morning was very
pleasantly spent at the home OF Rev.
and Mrs. j. A. Gilmer at Mill Bird %,
in one of the finest agricultural COM
munities of the State, among as good
people as can be found anywhere.
Mr. Gilmer was away from home
attending the Presbyterian Evangeli-
cal meeting at Davidson, but we saw
him for an hour Monday morning at
Barber Junction, having taken the
buggy over for him on our way home.
We attended his church CThyre Tyre
Sunday and heard good sermon by
Rev. Walter Goodman, pastor of the
Presbyterian church in Hillsboro, a
young man of talent and bright
promise who was raised in the neigh
borhood. There were 1O5 to answer
to roll call in Sunday-school, ranging
in age from the infant class to grand
parents. The enrolled membership
Of the Sunday-school is over 200.
The church membership is between
200 and 800. Many Of them ride from
6 to 8 miles to attend Sunday-school
and hear preaching. Think Of it. Is
that not rebuke to many Of us in
town?
Owing to belated trains from the
West and wreck on tho Durham &
Northern Railroad, We had to spend
Monday night in Durham. Always
delightful place to stay, by the kind
courtesy of our newspaper brethren.
Messrs. King and Rawlings, of the
Morning Herald, and James A. Robin
son, of the Sun, our disappointment
was turned into keensst pleasure and
the time was spent most agreeably.
With the Herald men we took a street
car ride and viewed the town by
electric light. Durham is a live little
city and is progressing at lively
rate. The new street car system is
a success every way and is working
beautifully.
We were guest at the Carolina
Hotel, one Of the best appointed and
best kept houses in the State, where
comfort and conveniences, good fare
and courteous treatment are the por-
ton Of every guest.

Ii. Cook brought in stalk Monday
morning with two blooms on it, one

morning A. NJ. Massenburg showed
several in an envelop, all white. He
says Cooks blooms grew on a stalk
in the potato bed and that he has
none in his cotton patch, whereas his
all came from the field. Therefore
he claims to be ahead and thought it
but right that the paper should make
this statement. Farmer Cook is yet
