Three Little Marys. By Archi
bald Smith. Published by Houghton,

Mift1in & Company. Boston.
Three Little Marys'' is new book
for children. containing three stories
about three little girls who all had names
which in different tongues stand for Mary.
Mairl was the Scotch lassie. Molly the
English girl, and the Irish heroine was
called Maureen Bawn. instead of her
formal name Mary O'Brien. which in
deed was SO unfamiliar to her that she
did not recognize herself under the title
when she was announced as a prize win
ner at a flower show.
a band of gypsy tinkers brings an ele-
nent of excitement into the first story;
in the second, the readers sympathies
are keenly aroused when Molly. discovers
a founding boy under a hedge; and in
a third, the successful efforts of Maui
reen and her brother TO earn money for
the purchase Of pig are at once droll
and touching. The book has an attrac-
tive pictorial cover in colors.

Under Colonial Coiors. By Everett T.
Ton,linson. Published by Houghton,
MlifIin and Co, Boston.
AS a writer of boys stories Mr.. Ever
cit T. Tomlinson is already widely
known. His stories of colonial days
have been especially successful, and his
latest book, Under Colonial Colors,'' a
tale Of war. adventure, and friendship,
is in his best vein. A more heroic en-
terprise could hardly be found than thai
he has chosen-Arnold's expedition to
Quebec.
No sportsman or canoeist passes owe,
the course Of that famous march
through the Maine woods without a
thrill of admiration for the men wha
blazed the trail in their daring attack
on Canada. The story of the expedition
and the assault on Quebec is told witt,
much spirit and with such mastery OF
historical detail that it carries the read
er along completely convinced Famous
characters appear. in the narrative,
which is lighted by no little humor.

DR.. 7. B. Kingsbury.

There will be general regret in North
Carolina upon the retirement of Hon. T.
B. Kingsbury as editor of the Whining
ton Messenger This regret will be
heightened because of the friction that
preceded or occasioned it. DR.. Kingsbury
has passed his three-score and ten in the
service Of his State and now in his old
age he must seek a new field for his
labors. No man has lived in the State
who has loved it more ardently than
he and no man has served it more un-
selfshly. Every tradition, every page
of history, every spot and corner of the
State is dear to him, and its every in
terest and institution during the last
fifty years has been helped and encour-
aged by his pen.
Easily the most gifted and accom-
plished scholar among North Carolina
journalists, his sound convictions, his in
dustry, his plainness of speech, his man
Illness and courage in the sanctum have
given him first place among his brethren.
plished and so Industrious has spent his
life in a profession that yields no compe
tence for old age, but requires unccasing,
life long labor for subsistence.

Major Wilson's Last Words.

To"the Editor: Some two or three
weeks ago I felt it my duty to myself
and also the Democratic party to make
a statement relative to Judge Clark s
Democracy and tness to sit upon the
Supreme court bench, and stated that II
Judge Clark denied the charges I made
proof would be forthcoming made
this bold charge because I knew Demo-
Gratis of the highest standing had knowl-
edge of the facts. After a great deal of
| evasion of the main charges and efforts
to becloud the issue judge Clark was
forced to call upon Governdr Russell for
the letters which contained the proofs
of these charges, and / am Informed
! today that copies of these letters were
! furnished Judge Clark With an offer to
allow comparison with the originals for
verification. Now proofs of these two
charges on these two points of materiaI
questions are in Judge Clark's hands.
| If he prints the letters as he has prom
ised to do the public will feel that my
! charges were under statements rather
! than over-statements. If he does not
print these letters it will be confess
/ sion of guilt upon his part. Let Judge
! Clark show his letters. He has been
/ trying to becloud the issue by abusing,
, Governor Russell, with whom he was
extremely thick five years ago, as is
shown in this confidential correspond
| ence. He has been abusing Capt Tay
when Capt. Day appeared for Governor
Russell and Judge Clark in their efforts
to remove me- Judge Clark seems now
70 mi IF lon fr;a de- l.
whom he was so thick in 1897.
! Tt makes no difference who brought
! these letters out, or in whose hands they
are, the question is, did Judge Clark
write them; if he did he is guilty Of
instigating suits, cOncealing his connec-
tion and then sitting in judgment upon
them. He must stand or fall by his let
tiers, they are his utterances, no matter
who handled them since.
| Judge Clark does not deny that he
had friends to ask Governor Russell to
appoint him Chief Justice year ard
a half ago; he does not deny that he
asked DIR. Thompson to intercede for
him; he does not deny that he was in
! correspondence and in conference with
/ leading Populists. He fills nearly six
NoiuiiiH" VI ti0 popCi Win oNaSloiS anu
efforts to becloud the controversy, but
| there are mighty few direct denials III
these six columns. He did not deny, be-
cause he knew the proofs would be forth
coming.
With this statement I am done. If
the people want CHIEF Justice who will
uphold the traditions of the bench like
Taylor, Ruffin, Smith, MerrimOn, and if
| he were not living | would say Shop
herd, they can easily find the man. On
the contrary, if they want a Populist. a
political manipulation. a mar who stirs
up litigation, cOnceals his connection
with it, and then sits upon the case
they have the opportunity. That man is
: at hand-Walter Clark.

CEREALS OR MEAT.
Prepared Food Helps to Solve The
Problem of Good Living.
PRICES OF MEAT GO UP.

PRICES OF MEAT GO UP.
'While the average housekeeper may
| be ignorant as to whether a beef trust
has been formed or whether the increase
! in the price of meat is due to other
causes, if she is woman of moderate
means, she has become convinced that
she must turn to something except
animal food for the main fare of her
| family" says the Buffalo Express.
ut is not an entirely new thing, this
advance in the price Of meats, and 1t is
even rumOred that prices have not yet
reached their limit, but certain it is
| that the cost of living for the average
family has increased rapidly of late I'M
til meat has become an article of diet
/ that must necessarily be eliminated
from the daily fare of the very poor and
has become almost a luxury even to
those who have a moderate and usually
adequate amount to spend upon the
, family food.
To-day domestic science and public
opinion have joined in teaching an i'm
portant lesson to rich and poor alike, the
| necessity of consuming body building
food, supplying material that will keep
nerves, muscles, bones, flesh and brain
in the proper condition, feeding into the
human engine the fuel needed to make

| food expert at Battle Creek, Mich.
has produced a food especially intended
to supply more nutriment than meat,
fish or fowl, and that costs the consumer
about one cent a meal. 1t is called
| Grape Nuts" and has more nourish-
ment for the body and greater strength
and vitality for the brain and nervous
system, and is an economy that reduces
the cost of housekeeping to the mini
mum and at the same time pIeases the
palate.
! Grape-Nuts is a condensed food and
about four teaspoonfuls with cream is
sufficient for the cereal part of a meal
1t requires no cooking or preparation of
any kind, and is ready for immediate
use and suited to the laborer, athlete.

One pound of Grape Nuts contains

Grape-Nuts, he began to gain flesh and

A QUEER PARDON.

One of the most unique pardons any
Chief Magistrate ever granted was signed
few days ago by Governor Jefferson
Davis, of Arkansas. il seems that a
negro by the name of Thompson had been
convicted of assault with intent to kill
and sentenced to three years in jail APP
plication was made to the Governor OF
Arkansas to pardon the negro. He did
so upon the condition thus specified:
Having just returned from the North,
and having heard many expressions OF
sympathy by the citizens of Massachu-
sets for what they were pleased to call
the poor, oppressed negro OF the South,
and desiring that hey shall have an OPP
portunity to reform a certain portion OF
the negro population of our State:
Therefore, l Jefferson Davis, Cover
nor of the State of Arkansas. by virtue
of the Constitution and authority vested
in me by the Constitution and laws of
Arkansas. do grant unto Andrew Thomp-
son, a negro, full and free pardon on
condition that he become within the next
thirty days a citizen of Massachusetts,.
The idea of making Massachusetts a
penal colony is original with the Cover
nor of Arkansas. If the men III MaSsa-
chusetts who have made such loud pro-
fessions of love for the Southern negro
show their sincerity by helping Thomp-
son to a job and to reformation, other
Southern Governors may pardon negroes
and send them to Massachusetts,. How
would protest against being made penal
colony for Southern negro criminals?

THE INCONSISTENCY OF MR.
PRITCHARD.

Senator. Pritchard recently made a
great TRADE in the United States Senate
against RED Shirtism" in North Caro-
lima.
It ,se emed at the time that he aroused
/ about his ears a hornets nest. The
to him were of force sufficient to have
demolished a much larger man than Mr..
Pritchard. 1t is unnecessary to recapitu-
late what they did. Suffice it to say that,
in slang phrase, What thcy did to him
was a plenty" Had they known, however,
of certain incident in connection with
Senator Prtchard's distribution of pat
ronage, the reply to him would have
been even more effective than it was.
In the matter of the postoflice at G
certain town in North Carolina, which,
for four years past hiss been admins
tered by Republican, against whom no
charges have been made, Senator Pritch
ard is making a most striking display of
treachery and inconsistency. In spite of
his sulphurous denunciation of Red
Shirtism' and its consequent terroriza-
ton Of the electorate, he is now recon-
mending for appointment to that post
office, over the head of one of the life-l long
Republicans who is entirely competent, a
man who in the last campaign was one of
less than a dozen in that community who
wore a red-shirt. He was fre-tried,
die in the fl ht Democrat then. He is
Understood to be 'Prtchard Democrat
now, whatever that may mean.
THE wherefore of this thusness" is ap-
parent. The rallying cry in the coming
campaign is "Pritchard or nothing" The
worthy Senator is bending all his en-
orgies to the successful solution of the
problem how to succeed himself, and III
his plan of battle methods are not COM
parable to results.
Not only IS this prospective postmaster
at this town Guondam RED Shirter,
but if a we'll authenticated rumor is
to be credited, the pos.office is to be
ded between the nominal occupant and
Red Shrter," and the power behind the
throne that cosnpassed his appointment.
The plan is to buy with sagaciously
distributed patronage as much following
as can be al from the Democratic ranks
and the platform in North Carolina is to
be Senator Pritchard 1t is thought that
some sc-called Democrats favor his re-
turn, and the idea is to work as quietly
as possible towards the selection of this
class Of men for the legislative offices.
In spite of this now well known plan.
i. is little strange and very inconsis-
tent for Senator Pritchard to denounce
Red Shirts in one days speech and
appoint them to office the next.
The plan may work, and maybe it
won't.
AS matter of fact the only objection
Senator Pritch ard has to Red Shutters"
IS that they were Democrats while his
followers in the main were BLACKS =
