SWEETER THAN MARY.
A Name That Mary Was Anxious to
De Called, and She Made 1t
Known.

81 am glad your name is Mary" said
Mr.. Slowcoach to his sweetheart, whom
he had been counting for several years,

"Why SOP" she asked.

is the sweetest name that woman

"That is POLITICALLY expressed. I've
heard my father say it to mother,
whose name is Mary. 1t is from some
poet, isn't it?'
81 believe So"
"But I've heard my father say there
was even sweeter name than Mary"
81 think he must have been mis-
taken,' said the lover, as he tenderly
pressed his sweetheart's hand.
"No; l don't think he was mistaken"
"What was the other name?"
A beautiful blush suffused the maid

yelled the lovely eyes, and, in tone
as soft as the whisperings of an

halter, eh?"
Pettibone rubbed the back of his
head as he said this and assumed such
an injured air that Guy had to laugh
in spite of his vexation.
Lem Bilkins te-he'd once more, Glim-
mer unbent himself SO far as to smile
and Pettibone, who always had laugh
lurking somewhere close to the sur
face, was caught in the general
hilarity.
Anyway" qualified the sheriff,
"there amt going to be much fun
in this for you, Herbert. OF course,
you haven't broken any of the statutes,
but the Concord folks won't stop to
think of that"
''Well, I've an idea that l can take
care of myself" said Guy. 81 have
told you once or twice and l tell you
again, 1 haven't done anything trea-
sonable and I'm just as loyal to Con-
cord as Col. Keever himself"
Glimmer and Billiins exchanged sly
glances and Uttered suggestively
Guy kindled at this but said nothing

AS they drew close to Guy, Bilkins,
Glimmer and Pettibone separated, sur
rounded him and pressed cautiously in
from three points of the compass.
When within a dozen feet of the young
man the sheriff threw up his right
hand. This was a prearranged signal
for the attacking force to halt for Il
parley.
"If you try to resist us, Herbert, .
said Pettibone, menacingly, you'll be

The AURORA.

The King Of Cold his banner rears.
And fiaunts it to the farthest stars;
Its golden field aloft appears,
With crimson bands and bars.
While southwark far, where cities lie
And Science scales to puny heights,
The sages and the children cry,
Alike: The northern lights!"
Meath frozen sky, on frozen main,
Mid pinnacles of ice and snow,
He marshals all that wondrous train
No human mind may know.
Their spear points rim the silent pole
And glitter in the mighty blue,
But rot for eyes profane may roll
This great, this dread review.
The walrus, from his lonely bed,
May gaze in dull and mute surprise.
The seal may raise his bullet head
And stare with blinking eyes.
The polar bear hath seen the sight.
The gull hath circled, undeterred.
But in the long, long arctic night
No human voice is heard.
And thus, upon uncharted ground
Whose sentry line no man hath crossed,
There wheel, with magic girded round,
The legions of the Frost.
And flashing like challenge cast
Ger berg and bay, DER firth and forth,
There stream the bale-fires of the vast,
The still unconquered North

The three Assyrian emigrant boys
who were arrested in Fort Dodge a
short time ago have had their trial
at Clarion and are now on their way
back to their native land. The boys
were penniless, Melham Koury hav-
ing been the last of his family and
now having to return homeless and
penniless. The boy cried and begged
pitifully to be allowed to stay in this
country. Investigations are being car

all their money away from them.

Deafness Cannot ts Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an innamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the eusta-
ohian tube. When this tube gets infamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi-
tion OF the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)

Increased Cost OF Cotton.

A Vicksburg authority is quoted
as showing in facts and figures the
increased cost of producing cotton
this year as compared with the cost
reported in the last census year.
One work hand and his mule are
taken as the basis of comparison.
In 1900 the two consumed, while
the crop was cultivated and har-
vested, 200 pounds of meat, at 8
cents, SIG; three barrels of meal,
$6.15 one barrel of flour, $40 ;
so bushels of corn, $3.50; 25
bushels of oats, $3.50 one ton of
hay, $3.50. Total, $69.35. These
items comprise the actual living
needs of the negro and mule.
The same things in the same guam
titles this year cost as follows: 200
pounds of meat at II cents, $22
barrels of meal, $10.35 /; one barrel
of flour, $4.10 SO bushels of corn,
at 73 cents, $36.5O; 25 bushels of
oats, at W cents, $3.50; one ton of
hay, $40. Total, $105.45.
The increased cost this year is
$36.10, or something over so per
cent. This means that, while it re-
quired 867 pounds of s cent cotton
in 1900 to settle the supply account
for laborer and mule, 1918 pounds,
at the same price, will be required
this year. Otherwise stated, it will
take this year the cotton from four
and three-ffths acres to settle the
supply account of hand and his
mule, as against cotton from two and
three-quarter acres in 1900, assuming
that each acre produced 800 pounds
Of lint.
These figures, saws the Birming~
ham Age-Herald, will startle all
farmers who do not raise their own
supplies and will discomfort those
who do. The growing crop is "none
too good" and, as the cost of pro-
duction has been increased by half,
it is safe to say that it will bring
less net money than a crop has
brought in many year. "The stu
ation," it adds, "simply enforces the
old lesson-raise your own supplies,
whatever else you may do. Put
supplies first, and make cotton an
incidental cash crop. Those who do
not heed this lesson are nipped
severely every year, but probably in
no year more than they will be in
present one" News and Courier.

Over the State Line.

Counties in South Carolina which
regard the average cost of sand clay
roads-$150 to $300-as so reckless
an expenditure as to put such i'm
provements out of their reach, will
be interested and instructed to learn
of the doings of their neighbors in
Mecklenburg County, North Caro-
lima, just over the State line.
The bulletin of the United States
Agricultural Department, which we
quoted yesterday, reports that dur
ing the last twenty years, and mainly
in the last ten, that county has built
1O4 miles of "macadam" roads by
convict labor. At first, it is stated,
the progress was slow and the work
not always well directed, but year
by year the county authorities have
profited by their own experience
and that of others, which accounts
for the more rapid rate of progress
and efficiency in the last decade.
During last year, it is noted, IL
miles of road were "graded and
macadamized" at cost of $4,000 to
$3,500 a mile, which includes the
cost of culverts and bridges, etc.
"The county is now expending
annually something more thar $4O,-
600 on the improvement of its high
ways, and that this expenditure is
the best paying investment the
county could possibly make is ac-
cepted by every class of citizens"
What our North Carolina neigh
bors spend to make one mile of turn
pike, it is seen, would build from 12
to "a miles in one of the lower
counties of this State, and what they
expend annually on road improve
ment would give one of our counties
from 1873 to 236 miles of "highly
satisfactory roads on the Richland
model.
We ought to be able and willing
to follow their progressive example
with so wide margin in our favor.

The Bible Stands all Tests.

The charge has been made by
skeptics that the Bible will not stand
investigation, and that in order to
believe the gospel preachers must
take a partisan and one-sided view.
We deny any such absurd charge.
The Bible is itself book of investi-
CATION, and it challenges the investi-
CATION, of the critics of the world, as
it has done from the beginning.
The proof OF its truthfulness is suf-
ticiently established by the fact that
it has stood all tests. 1t stands to-
day unshaken, in spite of the fact
that shrewd men have investigated
it and criticized it in all ages. The
Bible is the fairest book ever writ
ten. The cold, cruel truth is told
even about the Lords elect. There
is no attempt at concealment. Both
sides of the story are told, nothing
concealed, nothing extenuated. If
there is one great, important lesson
that this book of God teaches, it is
the lesson of fairness. 1t enioins
and encourages every man to get all
the facts to be obta med, to give
them intelligent consideration, weigh
them in the scales of his Judgment,
and then draw his conclusions
