couraging nod that somehow made
Denzil's heart beat high, though he did
net dare to take the words in their
under meaning. "And now | must be
off. No, thank you, my dear-I can
not stay to dinner; | have so many
things to attend to before seven. BuI
tell Sir George | will look him up
again in the morning, And give my
love to the girls and tell Mildred that

one man in the world can ever make
her happy"
He looked kindly at Denzil as he
spoke. but the latter would not accept
the insinuation conveyed in his words.
Mrs. Younge, however, noticed both
the glance and the significant tone, and
a light broke in upon her.
When Lady Caroline had followed
Dick Blount out of the room she went
over and knelt down by her son.
"Denzil" she said, lovingly, Il know
1t all now But am never to speak
of it?"
And he answered as he kissed her:
DO not let us ever mention it again
there's a darling mother"
But all that night Mrs. Younge
gazed at the girl and wondered, pom
dering many things and blaming, wom-
an-like, yet feeling in her heart the
while that the choice her son had
made was indeed perfect one
After this Denzil made rapid strides
toward recovery, growing stronger,
gayer and more like the Denzil they
had known in the first days of their
acquaintance than he had been for
some time before his illness. He could

AN HONEST MANS THE MODEST
WORK OF GOD.

Many men whose honesty is so pro-
nounced that they would not touch a
doubtful penny seem not to think it
wrong to let the value of their property
''sWink' when they go to give it in
for taxation. This is not generally be-
to bear his just proportion OF taxation,
but because he feels that, if he gives in
his property at its true value, he will
be compelled to pay more than his sharo
of the expense Of government because
so many others under-value their prop
erty. II a system could be devised that
would put a premium upon honest re
turns for taxation, instead of keeping
lack part CT the value, it would be the
greatest discovery of the age.
There is in North Carolina a retired
statesman, one of the most gifted and
patriotic men the State has produced, who
sets an example worthy Of emulation. It
is thus told US by the Roanoke-Chowan
Times:
AT listing time in June General Ran
som had some cotton that was estimated
to be forty bales which he listed fol
taxation Since then he has ginned the
cotton and it turned out to be eighty in
| stead OF forty listed. Last Monday he
appeared before the county commission
| ers and asked the privilege of listing the
additional forty bales, which request wa
| granted. General Ransom is no tax dod-
ger
Which leads us to ask if Diogenes car
show such q record for honesty. 1t i:
noblest work of Cod Is not the true
test OF honesty found in such a rare
act as is recorded of ex-senator Ran
som?

SHOULD MEN BE COMPELLED TO
VOTE?

Not a few thoughtful people have for a
lone time discussed the wisdom Of a law
requiring every qualified voter TO exercise
the right of suffrage. Some years ago
Hon. David Bennett Hill wrote an elaD-
crate article advocating sucn change IN
our organic law as to compel every cltlzeh
to take part in the selection of the men
entrusted with the duties Of government.
He made a strong presentation Of his case
and made some comments on compulsory
voting. But little of the agitation has
been heard of late years.
It NAV not be known that New York
has a law that Indirectly seeks to accom-
plish the same result. 1t does not compel
a man to vote, but makes it to his inter-
est to vote. There are 700. 900 voters IN
Greater New York. Two years ago TO-
600 of these failed to vote in the guberna-
torial election. The last Legislature
adopted a method to induce these men to
vote by passing a law providing that
those who do not register shall frst be
summoned for jury duty, those actually
registering and voting being exempt from
Jury duty until those who have not reg
istered shall ave served. The political
expect that this law will result
in a large registration this year, and they
are taking pains to bring the new law to
the attention Of every citizen.
The people of the whole country vii
watch this experiment, a radical depart
ure from old-time ideas, with interest
The desire to escape jury duty is so great
that many men will eagerly embrace the
opportunity to do SO by voting. But is
the selfish citizen, too absorbed in his
own affairs to take enough interest n
| good government to yote-is he the fittes'
man for a juror?

TIE COAL QUESTION Is
NATIONAL ONE, SAYS HILL
Government Control Of Mines a Reasonable
and Necessary Extension of the Policy
of Public Ownership.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Oct. 1.-THE Democratic
State campaign was opened tonight in
Brooklyn. Speeches We're made by David
b. Hill, Edward NJ. Grout, George
Ralnes, and others. Among other state
ments, Mr.. Hill declared that 1--WE are
confronted with gigantic combinations OF
corporate capita monopolizing the pro-
auctions of the earth and the manrfar-
lures OF our artisans, arbitrarily fixing
prices, making corners in the necessities
OF life, and the extent and multiplicity OF
whose operations are substantially I'M
Emitted by law and uncontrolled by
statute, who corrupt Legislatures and
Congresses and dictate the governments
Iolcles OF subservient governors and
Presidents"
On the plank of the State platform de-
handing ownership of the anthracite
mines, Mr.. Hill said:
The proposition is neither STARTLING
revolutionary soci2listic, nor paternal
but is constitutional. necessary e5-
pedient, and, above all, it is right. # Is
simply a reasonable and necessary on,
tension of the general policy of public
ownership already largely prevailing Il
the municipalities of the country. This
proposition does not commit the rart1
to any other projects of public Owner
ship whatever their merits, if any there
may be-"
The coal question:, Mr.. Hill declared f.
be a national one, saying:
IF 1T is not, why did the Presidenr
himself recently intervene and summo,
private citizens to the White House 70
conference and exercise his official inf,,
ence in regard TO a matter over which h,
had no jurisdiction. He was not actin,
under any statute. He had no auth0rit
for any legal Interference on his part
He, himself, has made it a nationa
question. and he and his party no,
cstopped from otherwise regarding ii
1t is a national question, because tn
impending coal famine involves the We,
fare of the entire people of the Unite
States, and such a famine should be pre
vented from ever occurring again whic
cannot he assured under private owner
ship and control. 1t is the province 6
wise craftsmanship to provide agains
just such emergencies in the futur,
There is no permanent remedy propose

OUTSIDERS ONLY HURT.

The Southern people, manufacturer as
well as others, recognize the evils or
child labor. 1t has grown up gradually
and the responsibility rests upon par
cnts and people as we'll as upon mill
owners. 1t will be stopped To doubt
that is to doubt the spirit of humanity
that animates Southern people. But it
viii not be ended by the lectures OF out
siGers. The evil is one that has always
been connected everywhere with the be-
ginning of the textile industry. New
England has reached the stage when child
labor is aot permitted. But it employed
children in the mills in the early years
Of mill development and has no right, as
Vance would put it, now "to sing the
long metre doxology through their noses
and thank God that they are better than
other people as they did in the matter
of slavery. They never got rid of their
slaves by selling them to the South un-
til they We're driven TO do SO by public
sentiment and because slavery became
unpopular in shat climate.
The Brooklyn Eagle, which always has
a broad horizon, understands the situa-
ton when it says:
The evils IN child labor in the South
will be "cformed by setting in motion
Southern opinion through Southern peo-
pie against it. Derunciatory Northern
opinion will not avail. The South knows
the New England disposition of hostility
to remote wrongs and CT rrodigious con-
Germ touching the evils of other people.
And the South resents it,
The South "esants the air assumed by
any outsiders who think themselves able
to tell everybody else except themselves
how to ref ,rm. The Manufacturers Rec
ord and some Southern papers, however,
mistake the temper of the South if they
suppose that a hypocritical spirit in New
England can be used to deter the South
from doing it's plain duty. The South
ern people themselves have been the frs
to sec the evils of child labor in theil
factories. They will stop it, not at the
bchest of those who are always ready tt
lecture the South while forgetting thu
beam in their own eye, but in spite o
their exaggerated stories ana unsolicited
interference. 1t will be stopped becaus,
it is wrong TO continue it, and from n,
other consideration. Those papers tina
think to defer it by declaring that tn
agitation is born of New England Jealous
do not understand the best Southcrn sen
tlment. New England cannot drive ther
from this duty by a frenzied zeal. an

ference cannot change the discriminate

Weldon and Northampton ferry. Two
boats will be put in the river and a good
right of way has been secured. The
ferry boats will have side ratings and
gates to let up and down at each end,
making The boat safe in case teams should
attempt to back the vehicles to which
they are attached.
While the ferry is nothing like SO de-
