The Rooster as a Type.
New York Times. J

W." AOlh IiHltSsD
The entertaining dispatch from London
to the effect that a wealthy widow in
Madrid had left large estate to a
rooster" under the conviction that it
was the reincarnation of her late hus-
band is both amusing and instructive.
For even fervid spiritualist and be-
lever in the transmigration of souls to
discover in an ordinary barnyard rooster
traits and qualities establishing it's
identity with a beloved and lamented
relative would seem at first glance a
fancy "begot of thought, conceived of
spleen; .andIborn Of Madness But when
the Incident is CRITICALLY analysed the
question suggested itself whether the
widow was not a rare humorist with q
talent for recognizing subtle parallels
and whether in the drafting of her eccen-
trio will she did not perpetrate a clever
joke on the deceased don and on man
kind in general, by affecting 20 discover
in one particularly bumptious chanticleer
OF her establishment the incarnation of
the type of married man whom Spanish
women know most about. if not the rein
carnation of her own late husband. She
was undoubtedly sarcastic, but whether
insane or not nothing in the incident
goes to show.
Any one who will watch a rooster can
not fail to be struck with the grotesque
resemblance he suggests to great many
married men, and especially to those who
have been married for some years. His
exaggerated self-importance, his assump-
ton of immeasurable superiority of SEX
his patronizing ways toward females of
every condition, his unreasoning jealousy
of every other rooster old enough to wear
the toga vrilis of we'll developed tuft
of tail feathers, his infirmity of temper
when his supremacy is questioned or his
dignity ruffed, his affectation of rakish-
ness when surrounded by serious minded
hens, his insufferable conceit when he
flashes his plumage before the pullets of
his social circle, and his habit of loud
and raucous growing when it suddenly
occurs to him that the fact that he sup
erintends the earth and authorizes the
sunrise may be forgotten if he does not
announce it with offensive emphasis are
traits and habits of the rooster which
nigh recall to a great many widows who
should consider him and his ways memo
ries of their late husbands not wholly
consistent with unmitgated grief in their
bereavement.
In point of fact, the rooster displays a
great deal of human nature in his walk
and conversation, and the Madrid widow,
who, perhaps, never found the courage
to say what she though about things dur
ing her husbands life, may very well
have made a testamentary record of her
impressions, knowing that in no other
way could she give them equal currency
or so effectually record for the benefit
OF poseterity her protest against mascu-
line vanity when it rests upon no better
basis than the accident of SEX

OUR rIREMEN's ASSOCIATION.
What the Firemen's Herald, Of New York
Says Of 1t and Capt McNeill

The Fireman's Herald. OF New York,
in its issue of June 5, has the follow
ing complimentary notice of the Firemen' S
Association of North Carolina, and of its
president, Capt. James ID. McNeiH: Z d.
One of the State Firemen's Kssocia-
lions that has accomplished something
for the benefit of its own members and
the people and property owners of the
entire State as well is that of North
Carolina, which is one of the best Or
gained and conducted of the many State
organizations that exist
1t was organized in 1883 and no fire
mems organization has accomplished
more since then than this one.
It's president now and during the past
seven years has been James D. Mcneil,
of Fayetteville, who represents that dis
trict in the State Senate, and the asso-
citation through his efforts has had law
enacted compelling all incorporated vii
lagos and towns to have a fire depart
ment and all to have a "Chief of Fire
Department, as the law reads. to be
appointed by city councils or boards OF
commissioners. The chief under this law
has the full charge of the department
and the extinguishment of fires and is
something more than a fgurehead. He
is chief de facto.
President McNeill and the association
are not satisfied with the mere enact
menti of these excellent laws, but fhey
want them enforced, and he is constantly
going about the State from place to place
looking after their interets. He goes to
villages and towns having no protection
whatever, meets the people, talks the
matter over with them, advises them
what apparatus is best suited to their
requirements and assists them in procur-
ing it and organizing a department. To
his efforts is due a number of recently
organized and equipped departments and
the reorganization and improvement of
others.
They have also had enacted law COM
polling the investigation of fires by chiefs
and other officers under the direction of
the Insurance Commissioner, and this
President Mcneil also looks after and
instructs in it's operation.
The services he has rendered in get
ting such good laws enacted and then
continuing the work in having them car
r1ed into operation by his personal eff
forts, is deserving of more than a pass
ing notice. He has established a custom
which might be followed in other States
of all section with benefit alike to fire
men and the public
By their fruits we shall know them
If the position of the North Carolina
Firemen's Association is to be determined
By what 1T has accomplished, it stands
we'll toward the head, and is still ascend
ing. 1t is not heard of as frequently as
M MI
when it is heard from, as in this in
stance, it is something worth hearing
The result of these law and President
McNeill's efforts will be that in due time
hat will be one of the best fire pro-
tected States in the Union and fires re-
duced to a minimum

farmer that yesterday, whose daughter
had lost $25. He said: "Oh. shucks! l
am sick and tired of that kind of busi-
ness. Judas Iscariot was strong on
business and the last we hear of him
he had hung himself, fallen down and
his entrails were hanging out" That's
just the way with fool farmer! The

matters Of a lighter vein.
We have, near Polkville, most re-
markable dog. All our dogs are remark
able, but this one belongs to Jim Will
son, and has a weakness for spring
chickens. Squire Huges missed twenty
three chickens one night, that roasted
in tree. Next morning he saw Jim
Wilson's dog under the tree, but no
blood or feathers. Jim is a gentleman
of color, and a black prototype of Ben.
Tillman, for he is one-eyed. He is not
as brave, eloquent. nor patriotic as the
pitchfork apostle, and says he don't like
spring chicken OF course the dog eat
them. Sheriff George baltimore lost
twenty eight that roasted In trees, and,
10! the next morning Jim Wilson's dog
was there also.
Dogs are bringing fancy prices just
now, as we'll as spring chickens.
Col. Alex. Ranger and his accomplish
ed sister, Rebecca Ranger, are, on
vacation from the poor house. They
are working mule. paying Perry Taylor
for hound pup. When they get an I'M
disputed title to the dog they are going
back to the poor house.

THE PROBLEM OF NEGRO DEVELOP
MENT

A gentleman in Raleigh, who heard the
address, was greatly pleased with it.
BY request he has furnished the follow
ing synopsis:
/. The value of race problems and the
struggle for existence.
Race problems are essential to race
growth We do not welcome them but
they come and are to be graDpled with
energy. The higher a race advances, the
acuter and subtler are it's problems.
Civilization is costly and requires much
exertion. Savagery is primitive and re-
quires little energy. On this account we
should have civilization and encourage
others to have it. One of the best ways
to civilize a race is to increase it's needs.
Put the race where it will need many
things or die, the instinct of self pre-
servation will be reused to action and it
will adapt itself to the new environment.
The American nation has its negro, In
dian, labor and other problems If they
were all solved others will take their
place. The solution of all our national
problems will be the end of the nation S
growth and activity.
In the lower animal life the struggle
for existence is keen. The weaker be-
comes a prey to the stronger, there is
no quarter. Man as a higher animal is
unique, yet he must live a strenuous
life in order to survive. 1t is the brutal
and lower animal nature in man which
seeks the destruction of weaker races.
When Governor Aycock and other nigh
minded leaders are sowing the seed OF
education throughout the State, and
pleading for equal opportunity to be
given every boy and girl, regardless OF
race we see IN them the voice or that
which is highest in man, the spiritual
in man pleading for spiritual develop
ment in man. The Christian doctrine of
the survival of the fittest is that while
it is right that the strong survive, it is
also right that the weak be fitted and
made capable to survive. On this prin-
ciple the Indian, the negro and other
weaker races, are pleading for protection,
on this principle noble leaders are de-
for government and citizenship.
2. Scope of the race problem.
What is often termed the negro prob
lem really embraces problems along the
lines of his greatest needs. There is
always danger by emphasizing one
phase of his development, of falling into
the extreme of over development of that
phase. He needs religious development.
At present his religious growth is too
luxuriant. He is too religious. He needs
the tonic of spiritual and moral re-
ligion.
There is great need of his mental

New York, has been very busy in the
South for a month holding meetings with
mill men, great many of whom have
entered into an agreement to go into
another form of consolidation, more in
the nature of pot luck trust" ar
rangement, whereby the Underwood syn
dictate is to control 60 per cent. of the
holdings, the members of each corpora
ton retaining 40 per cent.
1t is said that this scheme, while to
some extent interfering with the COM
plete merger contemplated by the Fries
original plan, will not seriously iniure
the success of the latter. as the proper
ties embraced in it are only of the gilt
edge and strong financially backed en-
terprises. A very prominent member of
the cotton mill fraternity in speaking
some time ago of the rival plans, said
that he was in the Underwood under
taking because he hoped thereby to sell
out losing business at good price.
Whether that is the motive that actuates
the Underwood conferees is, of course,
not to be charged, but the fact remains
that the class of mills in this scheme
are on a different footing from those
So it would seem reasonable to sup
pose, that with two great syndicates
working in a different way after practi-
cally the same results, it will not be
long before the whole cotton milling
business of the South will be arrayed in
solid Dhalanx in the battle, no longer
for existence, but for supremacy over
the New England mills.
With ruinous business methods and in
dependent competition among themselves
eliminated, the Southern mills have a
bright future ahead. And it will only be
a short while before the native Yankee
ingenuity of the New Highlander" will
study out some other evolutionary SOL
vent for the new difficulty, and all will
again be we'll, let it be hoped
The proper expansion of trade with
foreign countries can only be developed
through "a coming together of all fac
tories to share the expense of represen
tatives in those distanct fields of awak-
ening development.

New York Times.)

A young married woman from the
South who was visiting New York with
her husband, left him in their hotel
room one morning while she went on an
errand. She got back without mishap
in half an hour and knocked at the door.
There was no response.
Let me in, honey" said the young
woman, knocking more vigorously.
Still no response.
Honey, honey, let me in"
She ratified the knob and pounded with
both fists, but there was the silence of
the grave on the other side.
Honey, aren't you there? i want to
get in, honey, open the door,
Then arose from the other side of the
door a deep bass voice with a resentful
note in it:
Madam" it said. this is not bee
hive. This IS a bathroom.
