"NacatiOn is out, vacation has closed.
We have visited around and had such
fine large time for the past three
months that we are now ready, will
ing and waiting, TO settle down to
hard mental exercise in the dear old
school-room again" This is both
the song and chorus of our fair sex.
But, oh, how different it is with the
poor boys; for us vacation has meant
little else than tired backs. sun burnt
hands and faces. and profuse per-
splration. Still we have realized
some pleasures, as we have been per-
mitted to enjoy at least two hours
companionship with our fair visitors
each evening. 1t seemed very hard
that we were allowed no more time
and privileges. But now that every
body has left us and returned each to
her respective place of duty we feel
that there is an aching void nothing
can relieve.

THE JOKE OF THE SEASON.
Charlotte News.

Charlotte news.
The biggest joke of the season, and
one which promises to become most
popular for its deep scintillating sat
ire, is the following plank from the
platform adopted by the Republicans
yesterday:
owe invite the attention of the
people of the State to the clean and
able economic administration of our
State government by the Republican
and Populist parties from 1897 to
1901, and challenge comparison
of it with the present reckless man
agement of our affairs by the Demo
cratic party"
As writer OF platform jokes Col.
Zaides Voluminous Walser is huge
success. No need to invite attention
to the Infamous fusion legislature;
the people of the State will never
forget it. They are likely to remem-
Der for ages how gag law was applied
to several OF the most prosperous
cities in the State and otherlittle bits
of rascality too numerous to mention.
Fear not, Zebulon Vainglorious Wal
ser, the people will not forget that
measly crowd, and you'll see next
November that we are right.

BRAlN.FOOD NONSENSE.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authorities.
They have dispeled the silly notion that
one kind of food is needed for brain, another
for muscles, and still another for bones. A
correct diet will not only nourish a particu-
lar part ofthe body, but it will sustain every
other part. Yet, however good your food
may be, its nutriment is destroyed by indi-
cestion or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent their coming
by taking regular doses of Green's August
Flower, the favorte medicine of the healthy
millions. a few doses aids digestion,
stimulates the liver to healthy action, puri-
fies the blood, and makes you feel buoyant
and vigorous. Ion may get this reliable
remedy at Melville Dorsey's drug store.

MASSACHUSETTS, AN ASYLUn
FOR NEGRO CRIMINALS.
Raleigh Pos:

Ealtlsn fOS,-
A few days ago our State Insurance
Commissioner, Hon. j. Il. Young,
wrote a letter to the State Commits
sioner of Insurance of Massachusetts
in which Mr.. Young stated that the
laws of this State, like the laws of
Massachusetts, made it the duty of
the Commissioner to investigate fires,
and ferret out and have prosecuted
all iire-bugs or incendiarie.; that the
negro now held in Massachusetts was
under indictment in Durham, this
State. for attempting to burn a build
ing, and that he had confessed the
crime that there was no doubt what
ever of his being given fair trial by
the court and should be returned for
trial.
The Massachusetts official gave the
letter out for publication.
This called forth long "open
letter" to Mr.. Young from darkey
preacher who says that the North
Carolina negro cannot be returned
until the white men who ran the
negro Manly away from Wilmington
be punished. After his deliverance
the darkey preacher no doubt pro-
ceeded TO hand around the hat.
We are not surprised at such stuff
from the negroes who find congenial
company up in Massachusetts but
we are surprised at the Governor of
that great State permitting such par.
asites to stay the hand of justice
North Carolina will not suffer near as
much by this conduct on the part oil
the Massachusetts Executive among
the law abiding people of the North
or South as it will only go to show tina,
while North Carolina is no place fol-
criminals, Massachusetts proposes tc
become an asylum for that class Of
society.

THE Republicans have gone into
the endorsing business pretty strong
in this section OF the State, hoping
thereby to attain some degree OF re-

dicial district of Dean Sisk, a brandy

Judge OF the Superior Court. Ii the

THE action Of the Republican con
vention in endorsing T. \. Hill for
chief Justice was known several weeks
ago. 1t was known then that Mr..
Hill, former Democrat. who de
serted from the ranks in 1896, would
be endorsed i'll the hope OF securing
enough ''independent' Democratic
votes to elect him over Judge
Clark The futility of that scheme
is apparent to every reasonable man
now, it will be wildly apparent to
the Republicans about two months
hence Mr.. Hill will secure the Re
publican votes and those of Il few
disgruntled Democrats, but they will
fall far short OF electing him.-Char-

LUMBERMEM'S WAGES.
Man Who Works i'm the Woods
tor $40 per Month Ahead of
the Man i'm Town at $40.

An Ontonagon lumberman says
he has been hiring men for the
woods for years. and that they are
more scarce now than at any time
in his experience. Men for the
woods are offered work for an in
definite period, straight time and
fair conditions. A man in the
woods, earning $35 or $40 each
month, with board, is really getting
more money than the man who
works in town for s75. Consider
ing the wages OF the men and the
high cost Of provisions, lumber
operators must have very liberal
contract these days to log success
fully.

Items of Interest Taken From
Our Exchanges and
Condensed.

William f. Fagg, twenty-four
years old, jumped from a moving
train at the foot Of hill in Hough-
ton Saturday evening last, and the
next moment rolled under the
wheels, a decapitated and mangled
corpse. Fagg was aboard an in
coming Copper Range train, and,
instead of waiting for it to pull into
the station, he lcaped off opposite
the roundhouse. His foot struck
switch and he was hurled under the
train. With bright future before
him, holding responsible position
as clerk in the Tri Mountain mine
Office at Painesdale, and about to
go to Boston to accept position of
greater trust with the Tri- Mountain,
he jeopardized everything to save a
ten-minute walk and sacrificed his
life. He had been engaged to Miss
Helen Heughens, for year, and
was TO have been married in De-
cember He is survived by his
parents, four brothers and three
sisters. The body was shipped to
Madison, Wis, for burial.
George L. Burtis, the pioneer mill
man of Munising, who removed from
Marquette to that city number Of
years ago, is now compelled by
lack of sufficient timber supply to
leave the upper peninsula, and the
whistle of his mill will no longer be
heard echoing over the waters of
Lake Superior. Mr.. Burts will re-
move his mill to Thessalon, Ont,
about fifty miles east OF the Canadiap
500, and the work of dismantling it,
preparatory to shipping, has begun.
In the now location the mill will
have an abundance of timber Mr..
Burtis will continue to reside in
Munising, placing his plant in
charge Of resident foreman.
E. III. Towar has resigned from
the active management OF the Mar
quette National Bank, and will be
succeeded by f. j. Jennison. Mr..
Towar will continue as president
and retains his full interest in the
bank. and in conjunction with the
other directors will have q voice in
shaping its policy, etc, being at his
desk when in Marquette, for few
hours each day. Mr.. Towar has
certainly earned the rest that he is
about to seek in retiring from active
business, having been resident of
the upper peninsula for thirty years,
during all of which time he has been
active in the banking business.

HOW TO COOK VENISON.
An Experienced Hunter Tells
How 1t Should be Prepared.

The Menominee Daily Leader gives
the following for the especial bene-
fit of hunters who will have their
venison cooked over their own camp
FIRE:
Heat a thick frying pan or an
old style spider upon the Goals until
almost red. Cut off thick slices of
the meat and throw them in the
pan and keep them right up against
the dry, hot surface until they are
scorched on both sides.
'Then turn them out in platter,
cut the meat full OF deep gashes,
clear through crust and into and be-
yond the center, and fill the open
ings with butter, piling it OH until
the platter swims. in gravy.
"After this add salt and pepper
to suit the taste aud eat it before it
is cold. Cooked and served in this
manner venison is the best meat
that grows, aud the man that does
not like it either has trouble with
his stomach or with his conscience,
and should be watched. "
