One hundred years ago February

cite coal as fuel The winter was
severe, and rumors having reached
the town that the black rock. which
was found about the town in plenty,
was a fuel and gave GOOD heat IL
was decided to try it. At first the
landlord of the tavern hesitated ow-
ing to the expense incurred in build
ing new fireplace, but after several
friends volunteered to stand their
share, Mr. Fell consented. A crate
was built and most of the notable
persons in the town assembled at tho
tavern to see the event. which was
successful beyond their most san
guine expectations Mr.. Fell and MS
companions circled eagerly about the
new fireplace, piled wood mon the
bottom of the grating. dumped coal
on top, and after igniting it. watched
breathlessly for results After
while some of the coal was seen 10
fall apart. hut The greater part or II
glowed, and soon after burned mer-
rily. After the incident of that night
the practical use of anthracite ccnl
was assured.

Mosls of the Child.

The moral development of the child
begins almost as soon as it's mental,
aAd the two march hand in hand. The
home is the place where correct moral
principles should be first instilled in
the nina of the child, and neglect Of
this may mean endless suffering for
pare hts and chiI. Too often this is
left TO the servants, relatives. or the
teachers later. The parent who can
neglect this side of the child's develop
ment, and trust it to- somebody else. is
not worthy @f the responsibility that
has been conferred Bpon her. The neg
lect is not altogether Intentional. but
more often dNe to lack of energy and
forethought. The work does not begin
early enough, and the little mind gets
warped before the lessons are taught.

Police Watch Women's Clubs.

All on account OF Emma Goldman
some OF the least dangerous organiza.
lions Of women are under police sur.
Velllance. When the fiery woman
Anarchist spoke a few weeks ago in
a hall on the East Side two detectives
were detailed to watch proceedings
closely and see that there was no in
citation to lawlessness. The affair
proved tame enough. but the police
became imbued with suspicion OF the
place and ever since have kept watch
over the meetings. The Society for
the Study of Life seemed TO the police
a queer thing with its discussion of
subjects that women had no business
to be mixed up in, and they have kept
an eye open for its proceedings. Sew

HEN WEARS WINTER FLANNEL

An old hen belonging TO Mrs. n. A..
Stormont began laying late in the fall.
and was so persistent that she laid
tWenty-six eggs before she concluded
to stop, says the Kirkwood TlT)
Leader
During all this time she had neg
lected her moulting, and when she
nnally got ready to shed her feathers
1t was in the middle of winter. In
short time she was almost bare ana
suffering from cold.
The Misses Stormont. seeing her
predicament, and approaching the
value of her service rendered, de-
termined to come to her rescue. They
accordingly took the old hen into the
mouse, took her measurements. made
her suit of dannels to fit and then
released her
her ladyship took the matter very
and hustled off 10 her
companions, apparently very conc
portable in her new suit

This great dipper can reach dowu
into the water and haul up earth from

Conner For Associate Justice.

To the Editor: / notice that some
names are being mentioned with antici-
pations of putting them forth as candi-
dates for the office of Associate Justice
of the Supreme court of North Carolina.
! know nothing, personally, of any who
have been mentioned in this connection,
except one, and that one is H G. Conner,
of Wilson, n c., of whom | now wish TO
speak. I have watched his life from
boyhood, with both acrutiny ard delight.
l have always loved to talk about him,
and to hear others who knew him talk
about him. / knew him when boy and
watched him struggle, striving to build
a suitable character for manhood, al
most unaided except by his own siren
uous efforts. l knew and watched him
when he had entered manhood. and saw
in him such intelligence and firnness Of
character so essentially necessary to
make up a man,in the trnest sense Of the
term. l was so pleased to think that his
former and incessant efforts had not
been fruitless.
/ have known him as a lawyer, as con-
scienticus and fair in his dealings with
mankind, often refusing fees, but set
thing controversies between men without
suits. / have never known or heard OF his
resortng to unfair means to gain point
in suit i have known him in the Leg
islatiVe halls of North Carolina, where
he received the admiration of The mem
bers and the plaudits of his constituents.
/ have known him as speaker of the
House of Representatives, where by his
impartial rulings he gained the conf
dcnce and esteem of his political enemies
as well as his political friends. I have
known him on the judicial bench, where
by his precisiVe and intelligent iudg
ments, cheerful submission was rendered
20 his will.
He is looked upon as carrying balan-
ces CT justice in both head and heart,
giving proper portions to his fellow
man.
l have known him as possessing all the
attributes CT an upright Christian gen
tleman, never withholding his hand from
the support Of unfortunate and fallen
humanity, contributing largely of ms
honestly earned means in this way.
These are some OF the reasons that 1
can SO Cheerfully endorse the name of
II. c. Conner for the high and respon-
sible position of Associate Justice of the
Supreme court of North Carolina.

OUR LATEST SOCIALISTS.

The New York Times has very SEN
sible editorial pointing out that Mr..
Hanna, Mr. Depew, Mr.. Elkins and the
others who lead the fight for subsidies
are Socialists, and it proves its charge
by showing that lone of the EXTREMIST
forms of socialism is that which main
tains that the State should control and
direct industry and be the distributor
of the benefits and advantages there
from resulting"
1t shows that ultimately this must lead
to State ownership, with the employment
by the State of all labor and the deter
mination by the State of the wages of
labor and the profits of every class of
producers The Times goes on to say:
1.-THE shipping subsidy is only an ex-
IRENE example of the State socialism
which saturates and perverts the entire
protective system. The underlying prin-
ciple of the system is that the people
should be supported by the favors of the
Government, not that the Government
is simple agency of the people to serve
necessary common needs at as low cost
as possible. The protectionists are now
bowling that it would be fatal to dis
turb the taxes on competing foreign
goods. They admit by this cry Of dread
and distress that they have bound the
business of the country hand and foot,
if their warning is worth listening to, to
the chances of Government action. They
have arrogated to the Government an
influence upon the private affairs and
: the personal interests of citizens which
no despotism of ancient times dared to
assert. But, this influence being within
the ultimate disposal of the voters, they
set up the most powerful incentive for
the believers in the socialist system to
amplify and extend it. They throw
down the old barriers of individual in
dependence by magnifying the power of
the State. And they encourage every
dreamer who wishes to make of the
State the arbiter of all fortunes. Their
own game is essentially greedy and
treacherous, but it is also dangerous.
