NORTH CAROLINA VOLUNTEER
FIREMEN.

A meeting of one of the most valuable
place in Raleigh this week, and to it are
coming not alone the delegates and work
ers in the organization, but hosts of in
terosted visitors.
The North Carolina State Firemcn's
Association is a grand organization, for
its membership is made up of men who
offer their lives many times in order
to save the property and lives, not alone
OF friends, but of strangers.
1t is not a paid srm of the State, or
county, or town, but it is a volunteer
organization, the membership being
welded together by the one impulse of
saving the property and lives of others.
The men who do this do not count the
cost or the danger, but when the cry Of
fire comes at midnight and the fearful
note of the alarm bell thro5s on the
air, it is an instant rush TO the place
of danger that is thought of, and a des-
perate conflict, a hand to hand conflict
with the raging waves of lla,ne, that is
counted upon.
We do not appreciate the firemen of
the State enough. We fail to reason
out the great benefit they are to us and
the great risks that they take for ds.
hat the State and the people are awak-
ening and seeing a new light in this
direction is a happy sign, and when the
needed aid of the communities of the
Will see an efficient organization made
a still more efficient one.
These fremen of North Carolina save
untold sums yearly to the people, both
in property saved and in premiums on
insurance reduced. 1t was a great day
for the State when from a lot of scat
tered organizations a united State Or
ganization was formed and when the
ton Became n reality. Since its incep-
ton in Greensboro in 1888 it has steadily
grown in activity and in influence, results
which have come of late years largely
through the untiring efforts of Hon
James d. McNeill. of Fayetteville, the
president Of the State organization, who
has built solidly upon the foundations Sc
wisely laid by his predecessors.
Raleigh is delighted that these brave
men are to meet in her hospitable Dor
ders this year, and to them a sincere vel
come is extended to the capital city
and all it has to offer. The arrange
ments for their reception has been made
on broad and liberal lines, and we be
lieve that when the meeting of 1902 i
laid back IN the chronicles of the past
that Il unanimous voice will be recorde,
as saying 1--WE are glad we have come.

COUNTIES MAY HOLD PRIMARIES

There is a strong sentiment in favor
of a Senatorial primary, but SO many
Western Democrats said it would hurt
the party in their section that many de-
ferred to their wishes in the matter.
Commenting OF the matter, the Winston
Sentinel says:
The proposition to select the candi-
date for United States Senator by a
State primary was defeated. We do not
believe that the convention voiced the
sentiment of a majority of the party in
this action. We take it that the coun-
ties have tie right to hold primaries
unon this question and we presume that
many Will use this means of securing
an expression and instructing their rep
lcsentatives in the legislature"
OF course any county can nave a pri-
mary, if it desires, and the members OF
the Legislature can be instructed how
to vote in the Senatorial contest.

Duets these days, 1t deserves all If gets

The young matron buying her first
housekeeping outfit will do well to
set aside a generous sum for the pur-
chase of bedding. Good hair mat
tresses, made of the best quality of
hair, represent considerable invest

time and furnish always delightful

possible, no substitute for this SHOULD
be taken. In the same way five

of use. Much cheaper feather pillows
are to be had which, when new, seem
almost as good, but they are largely
mixed with hens feathers and soon
disclose their poor quality. In buy

rather coarse thread should be Sc

may seem preferable. Old housekeep-

bleached variety, but young house
keepers do not like the transition
process. They may consent, however,
TO choose the half-bleached variety,
which really whitens so rapidly in
consecutive washings as to prove very
satisfactory. Allow full two yards

linen sheets should be included in the

A PAIR OF Welded LOVERS.

1t is amusing TO hear the remarks of
those who saw the czar and czarina at
the camp lunches they attended while
in France. They behaved like a newly
married couple at table d'hote, with
neither eyes nor ears except for one
another, says London Truth. She
spoke so much to the car at the
Betheny lunch that NJ Loubet, who
was at her left hand, imagined an old
graybeard like himself was de trop.
and ehatted continuously with his
other next neighbor, Nine Casimir-
Perier.
Nicholas was full of anxiety. He
filed himself the empress glasses
when champagne or other wines were
handed round. Nine. Loubet sat next
to him, but she showed, by conversing
with her other neighbor, that she did
not wish to bore him. When he and
the empress chatted, the latter looked
animated aud as if she enjoyed herself.
As soon as he spoke to Nine Loubet
the expression of the imperial lady
changed, and she gazed without the
slightest animation, as If absent
minded.

HE WROTE THE CHECK.
Denver Hank President Did Not Hes
itate when Confronted BY
Desperate Man.

David H. Moffatt, president Of the
First national bank of Denver, solved
to his own satisfaction the question
Of whether man should give up
money TO an assassin or not, states
the Philadelphia Press.
Several years ago a man came into
the First national bank and went
into Mr.. Moffatt's private Office. In
his hand was a bottle containing a
light-colored viscous fluid.
"Mr. Moffatt," he said, 81 am a des-
pernte man. This bottle contains
two ounces of nitroglycerin. If l ex-
plode it, you and I and the bank
building win be blown to smither-
eens. want $4,000. I want you to
write out a check for that amount,
take it to the cashier, get the curren-
cy and give it to me-"
81 didn't believe" said Mr.. Mofatt,
"that the man had nitroglycerin in
the bottle. / didn't believe that he
would have used It if he had. But
at the same time there was a chance
that he did; there was a chance that
he was fanatic; there was a chance
that he would have killed us both.
y figured the thing out in my mind
quickly mans mind acts readily
under such circumstances and ]
came to the conclusion that it was
better to give him the 500, 900 than to
run the risk of my life, for $4,000
was only couple of weeks income
Death was eternity. 1 went to the
cashiers desk, wrote the check, got
the currency, gave it to the man, and
he walked out with it and has never
been seen since"
