The Towers OF Silence
In Persia stand two towers called by
the Parsee the Towers OF Silence. Ac-
cording to the religion. they never bury
their dead. but have the BODY exposed
on the tip or one OF these towers until
the sun and the rain and the fowls Of
the air have cleaned the bones OF all
mesh. The bones are then collected
and placed In the other tower. These
Parsees. who are followers OF Zoroas-
ter and very devout. have almost disap-
peared as a people. there being only
about 5000 OF them at the present
time.

SOLDIERS LOVE rosacco.



olocdy oattics-
Most of the distinguished officers
81 the world hold that whatever
comforts the soldier on active serv-
ice may be deprived of he should
on NO account be stinted in the
natter of tobacco, and in the grav-
cot of histories relating to the
Franco Prussian war il is stated
that the total want of even tobacco
to make cigarettes Of among the
French troops on many occasions
did not little to dispirit them.
Private Jones, who obtained the
Victoria cross at Rorke's Drift,
said that in the very thick of the
tight several comrades lighted their
pipes with blazing fragments of
wood from the wooden hospital
which had been fired by the Zulus.
and at Majuba Hill one of the men
was found dead with the stump of
q cigar between his clinched teeth.
Amid the awful carnage of the Rus
so-Turkish war Turks horribly man
gled were frequently found smok-
ing in the midst of their agony and
uttering no sound of complaint.
Mr.. Archibald Forbes, the great
war correspondent, has told how
before Metz, in the Franco-Prussian
war, a soldier terribly wounded
craved but one relief, cigar, and
he observed soldiers firing away at
close quarters, pipe in mouth. Gen
eral Won Bentheim, observing
sight like this, asked one of the men
for light and himself coolly light
ed his own cigar and then led his
men on Another war correspond
ent, belonging to one of our great
daily papers, tells that he saw at
Saarbrucken a large party of Bruins
wick hussars gsllop into the thick
of the fray with cigars in their
mouths, and this in the face of
solid mass of French troops and a
hail of bullets.-Edinburgh Scots

OF the experiences that come to the
man allowed to bear the title of editor
of a magazine where the proprietor
keeps finger on all details, none is
more embarrassing than the necessity
he is under of acting constantly as a
buffer between the caprices Of the pro
prietor and the tender susceptibilities of
those who supply the periodical with
its contents. One day a certain pro-
prietor directed that some novel cover
designs should be prepared. Two
weeks later there gathered in the outer
office four or five Of the foremost cover
designers in the city. Now a cover
designer is one point higher than any
other grade of artist. Why this is SO
he alone knows.
The editor congratulated himself
'the best men" had submitted desings
and the proprietor seemed to be in al
unusually calm frame of mind. HI
looked at the first sketch with some
show of interest, and laid it down tt
take up the next. Just at that momen
the telephone bell rang, and the pro
prietor received from his broker ;
report on the condition of his stool
, holdings. He turned back out of sort
to the pictures His comments as h

the story of a young stenographer who

THE RESULT IN THE SIXTH.

The result of the closely contested
fight for the nomination for Congress in
the Sixth district resulted in the nomi-
nation of Hon. Gilbert B. Patterson, Of
Robson. He has twice represented
Robson in the Legislature with ability,
honesty and acceptability. Mr.. Patter-
son is a graduate OF the University, is
about thirty eight years old, has for a
long period been member of the State
Democratic Executive Committee, and
was a leader in his section in the great
campaign that redeemed Robson county
in 1898. Mr. Patterson is a Presbyterian
an honest man, courageous and indie
pendent. He is we'll grounded in the
Democratic faith and will truly represent
the Democratic sentiment of his district.
Hon. John d. Bellamy, the retiring
member OF Congress, is one of the first
men in the State. He has represented
the district with conspicuous ability and
had. won reputation for wisdom in the
national capitol. Few men in so short
a service have enjoyed wider popularity
or attained greater usefulness.

A CORRECT POSITION.

The Confederate Veterans in session at
Greensboro this week, at the biggest re-
union of Confederate Veterans yet held,
unanimously adopted this resolution:
Resolved, That we condemn and de-
nounce the act of Congress which re-
wards treachery and perfidy by giving
pensions to Confederate deserters for
fighting against their former flag and
comrades
This is the correct position. 1t will be
approved, not only by every brave Con-
federate soldier and his descendants, but
as we'll by brave Federal soldiers and
all others who have profound contempt
for deserters.
Mr.. Pritchard, Mr.. Moody and Mr..
Blackburn thought they had put feather
in their cap when they secured the over
turning of Hoke Smiths order denying
pensions to deserters. They will find,
instead, that the people of North Caro-
lima will applaud the above resolution
adopted by the Confederate Veterans.
Nearly all the men who will get money
under this deserter's bill are Republi-
cans already, and that's all the folks who
will approve the deserter pension bill.
The people of North Carolina and of
the whole country will never endorse a
measure that puts a premium upon de-
sertion. The example of Benedict Arnold
ought to have taught Pritchard, Moody
and Blackburn that those who desert
from the army to which they belong will
ever be held in contempt by brave men
and women.
The few paltry dollars that will go
into circulation from this bill will not
do any good to the men who secured it's
passage. 1t is founded upon a wrong
principle. The men who We're its spon-
sors will in November wish they had
never advocated it.

GREENsB0RO's GALL.

This paper h IS frequently given ex-
preston to it's admiration of Greensboro
enterprise and public spirit, and up to
this time have been inclined to treat as a
joke that 1t would move the capitol to
Greensboro. 1t seems, however, that the
agitation has already begun, and that
they are electioneering among the Con-
federate Veterans in camp there sthis
week. Read this from the Greensboro
Record of yesterday:
but they did not confine themselves
to this altogether. At one tent a dozen
or more men were sitting around in ami
mated conversation and the subject was
the removal of the State capital to
Greensboro! The reporter drew near and
listened and not man in the crowd but
who wanted it sent to Greensboro "by
act of the next General Assembly.
Say, Mr.. Record, can't you let Raleigh
keep the capitol five years longer-you
ought not to take it away without due
notice.

WISE AND THE VIRGINIA NE
GROES.

John S. Wise, formerly of Virginia,
but now of New York, and the negroes OF
Virginia, have inaugurated campaign
that is sure to bring trouble In the Com
monwealth of Virginia.
An address, violent and inflamatory in
character, has been issued by conven-
ton of negroes in Richmond, and learned
counsel has been employed to test the
constitutionality of the new suffrage
amendment in Virginia. John s. Wise,
ESQ.,, who has been retained as counsel
for the Association, wrote to the negroes
that 1.-The courts will hold that the new
Constitution of Virginia is not, has never
been, and cannot be the law of Virginia,
and he adds: ut will be held nullity,
and all efforts to treat it as valid or
binding upon the people of Virginia will
be held void.'
The address says that the condition OF
the negro is worse than human slay-
ery,' and it sets aside September as "a
rallying month" in which all negroes are
urged to "join hands and give as much
money as they can 'to test the validity
of the new Constitution" Mr.. Wise, ex-
Senator Thurston, and Judge Lewis have
been employed to carry the question to
the Supreme Court.
The whole proceeding shows that there
is more in It than q voluntary negro
associations work. 1t seems certain
that Wise. Thurston and other RepubIi
can leaders have decided to test the
question in Virginia, and that this liti-
cation is to De The entering wedge TO
restore full negro suffrage.

A BANKING TRUST.

1t seems that the Georgia, Virginia
and Missouri bankers are not the only
ones who oppose the pending Hesitation
for branch banks and against bank cir
culation based upon general assets. The
Wisconsin bankers voted almost unani-
mously against the new scheme In the
debate in the Wisconsin Bankers Asso-
citation, Mr.. T. H. French, of Oshkosh,
said:
do you want the Standard Oil crowd
the Morgans and the Keenes, to come
right into your own cities, towns and
counties, and lick the cream right out of
your own saucers. in your own house?
Do you know, do you realize, what
branch banking is to you, my brother
bankers?"
When the branch banking house and
the bank circulation based upon general
assets passes, If the big banks can push
it through Congress, Mr.. Morgan or some
other capitalist, will organize a bank
ing trust that would make Nicholas Bid.
die green with envy. Then the local
banks would either have to go into the
trust or be forced out of business as
other trusts have crushed independent
concerns. All the money, under this new
plan, would go to New York, our local
greatest central institution, and the
country would be more and more in the
grasp of the money trust. It is no Won
der that the country bankers are pro-,
testing against the proposed legislation
which is aimed at their independence and
which would result in their absorption.
The following is the resolution adopted
by the State Bankers Association:
'"The establishment of branch banks
through the country would furnish the
Standard Oil Company the means to fight
cut the throat and eXterminate every
small hank through the country
What the Standard Oil Company did
to the poor devils in the oil field who
owned one or more small paying wells
that is what it will do to you if you but
give it the opportunity. DO you intend
to unshackle this monster of branch
banking to devour you?
do you know that the City bank in
New York with $500, 900 would domi
nate this country if it had branch banks
throughout the country? Do you know it
would dictate the tariff, make or prevent
wars, own all the ships, the railroads,
the mines and hold the whole country in
the hollow of its hand?'
