The Review of Reviews for July,

The Review of Reviews opens a new
volume with a number that exhibits very
clearly the international scope of the
magazine. The shOckinge end of the Obre-
novitch dynasty in Servia is the occasion
of some interesting editorial comment on
the politics of Southeastern Europe; the
British tariff debate centering about Mr..
Chamberlain proposals, especially in
it's bearings on Canadian trade relations
also claims editorial attention.; Mr. W. T.
Stead makes a scathing exposure OF the
blundering and atrocities perpetrated in
the Congo Free State for the profit and
aggrandizement Of Leopold, King of the
Belgians, and his arraignment of that
monarch is authenticated by the personal
observations of the Rev W NJ Morrison,
an American missionary in the Congo
country; a wholly different kind OF ex-
ploitation is described by Joseph NJ.
Rogers under the title, The American
Invasion Of Uganda. An account OF
Yankee bridge-building in the heart of
the Dark Continent; this years remark
able migration of European peoples to
the new world is the subject of a well-iH-
formed article by Samuel E. Aoffett, and
the recent work of the English, Scotch,
German, and Swedish Antartic expedi-
tions is effectively summarized by Cyrus
c. Adams Among the distinetively
American topics discussed in the same
number are The Erie Canal-Its Past
and Future" by NJ. NJ. Wilmer: Forest
Fires in the United States,' by II. NJ.
Suter; '.The Recent Floods of the Middle
West" by Charles NJ. Harger; and Wei
fare Work in Great Industrial Plant, :"
by John r. Commons These subjects
are all timely, and their treatment by the
Review of Rerieb-s writer's is fresh and
suggestive.

new YORK SUN ON TILlMAN
CASE.
"it Is Not Only In Negro Cases That
Justice Should be Swift"
Special to Charlotte Observer.

Special to Charlotte Observer.
New York, n. Y, June 25.-This
evenings Sun says editorially: "It
appears that the lawyer who ap-
peared for former Lieutenant Cover
nor Tillman, the murderer of Con
zales, carried a revolver in each hip
pocket. This person, whose name is
Buchanan, is a brother-in-law of the
accused. He attacked the newspa.
pers in a way that would have de.
lighted Governor Pennypacker, oi
Pennsylvania. Apparently the de
tense wants the trial held at some
place where the standard of educa-
tion is low. 1t is a pity that the
case has not been decided long ago.
1t is not only i'll negro cases that JUS
tice should be swift
Commenting on the remark of the
Sun that ''it is not only in negro
cases that justice should be swift, -
the Charlotte Observer says:
There is food for thought in this
assertion. The prevalent idea that
for all practical purposes the trial of
Tillman is merely matter of form
with the object of final acquittal is
not pleasing circumstance. Taken
in connection with the Evening Sun S
remark it serves to emphasize the
inaccuracy of the idea that all men
are equal before the law.

He Got What He Deserved.
Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Philadelphia Public Ledger
The wretch who died at the stake
yesterday morning on the spot where
his hateful crime had been committed
deserved no more merciful an end.
The cruel, pitiable, unspeakable,
grievous wrong OF his victim cried
out for retribution like this. In the
fact that it came-let there be no
hypocritical pretense otherwise
most of us cannot repress an in
stinctive thrill of satisfaction.
And yet this, the momentary re-
awakening of the beast and the saw
age lingering still in human nature,
must instantly give way to a stern
sense of reprobation of the lawless-
ness by which the rstribution came.
The crime of the negro ravisher was
horrible and damnable deed; but
the violence that took him out of the
hands of the law and tortured him
to death wrought the disgrace of a
State, the Generalization of the
moral sentiment of a community,
widespread and most lamentable loss
of repute for law and the orderly
processes by which society and civili-
zation stand.

Reidsville Weekly.


A boy or man who works simply
for his salary, and is actuated by no
higher motive, is dishonest, and the
one he most defrauds is himself He
is cheating himself, in the quality Of
his daily work, of that which all the
after years, try as he may, can never
give him back. If were allowed but
one utterance on this subject, says
writer in Success, SO vital to every
young man starting on the journey
of life, would say: "Don't think too
much of the amount OF salary your
employer gives you at the start.
Think rather of the possible salary
you can give yourself, in increasing
your skill, in expanding your exper-
ience, in enlarging and ennObling
yourself"
A mans or boys work is material
with which to build character and
manhood. 1t is life's school fer
practical training Of the faculties,
stretching the mind, and strengthen
ing and developing the intellect, not
mere mill for grinding out a salary
of dollars and cents.

Manufacturers Record.
Under the direction of the Chamber
OF Commerce of Elizabeth City. N. c.,
Mr.. Edmund Alexander has prepared
for the use of the United States army
engineers having in charge the pro-
!ect OF an inland waterway connect
ing the Chesapeake bay and Beau
fort inlet a report showing the ad-
vantage which Elizabeth City would
derive from such a waterway. Mr..
Alexander shows that there we're
handled in 1902 at Elizabeth City
sos, 172 tons of freight, and he pre-
sents statistical table as founda-
tlon for an estimate that upon less
than half of the freight handled a
saving Of $213,796 would be assured
each year by large barge transporta-
tion upon the Waterway, and that
III addition the manufacture of pulp
and of bricks and the shipment of
cordwood to Northern markets might
be expected to be started. Henotes,
moreover, the location of Elizabeth
City as a commercial center of the
Albemarle section trading by steam
er, barges and sailing vessels with
nine counties of Eastern North Caro-
lima; the conveniences of the city,
such as waterworks, electric lights,
paved streets: sewerage, etc; it's
manufacturing enterprises, including
cotton and knitting mills; it's banks,
wholesale and retail stores and the
products OF the surrounding country
and waters. Altogether the report
is an excellent piece of work, deserv-
ing OF the commendation given it by
Congressman John H. Small and
Lieut.. Col. Charles J. Allen. of the
engineer corps, and calculated to be
OF benefit to Elizabeth City in any
event.

A Terrible Story.
Fairbrother's Everything.

Fairbrother's Everything
That was a revolving story that
came out of Chicago a few days ago
which told how Laura Stickler, in Or
der to save her honor, leaped from a
second story window-killing herself
in the fall The details were meagre
but the man who intended to dis
grace her was named William Reed,
and at last account he was under
arrest. Miss Stickler lived to tell
the horrible tale-and then passed
out into the darkness of the night.
She was a member of the Young Wo-
mans Christian Association and her
honor was above reproach. But the
lustful brute thought he could ac-
complish his end by force-and the
girl-brave as a tigress in defense OF
it's young-laughed at death in
order that she might not be pol
luted.
We build monuments to those who
with premeditatiOn go to war to
fight for the honor of their country.
We build monuments to those who
accomplish great things for the bet
terment of the world. But the brave
soldier knows that he has taken his
life in his hands-he knows that he
may never see the rising of another
sun when, in camp, he lies down for
the little slumber he may get. The
scholar, the inventor-those other
benefactors the world worships, know
that reward awaits them for their
studious hours and their accomplish
ments. But the innocent woman
who finds herself trapped by a lustful
brute posing as a gentleman-and
who, seeing all avenues OF escape cut
off-boldly leaps from window to
her certain death and is brave
enough to think her life well lost il
| she saves her honOr-what sort of a
monument snould we build for her!
1t should be Highland of the purest
marble, and the greatest sculptor
who could be found should chisel or
it that face of purity and virtue sc
that all the world could see.

Did you ever think of how expen-
sive a luxury credit is? 1t doubles
the expense OF bookkeeping, doubles
correspondence, multiplies worry
many times over, often destroys con-
fidence, wrecks business galore, and
makes mischief of all kinds without,

things enter into the cost of nearly
everyt hing which is bought and sold,
and even the cash buyer, with all his

The decision OF the courts compel
ing the Seaboard Air Line to pay

with stale eggs by a crowd of rude
boys at Shelby, several years ago,
would be ludicrous if it were not so
unjust and dangerous. What on the

Air Line have to do with it anyhow?

Make Your Homes Beautiful.
Southern Farm Magazine.

Southern Farm Magazine.
No people on earth have greater
natural facilities for beautifying their
homes than the people of the South
SO many indigenous grasses, SO
many native towering plants, so
many beautiful shade trees, such a
long growing season, all combine to
make the task of embellishing the
home with natures rarest gifts COM
paratively easy. And there is great
profit in such work. A home with
out flowers or grass or shade or
brooks is a home without inspiring
attractions. 1t is too often a home
without happiness and without
profit. The eXuberance of spirits
that finds its outflow in the planting.
of shrubs and flowers and the adorn-
ment of home reveals a sense for all
that is beautiful i'll life and elevated
in morals. The employment of our
leisure hours shows the bent of our
inclinatiOns. Where there are no
shade trees, no parterres of flowers,
no pleasure grounds with swings and
comfortable seats, no magazines or
newspapers to relieve toll or make
leisure hours profitable, what can we
expect the boys on the farm to do?
For their pleasures they too often
visit the country store, indulge in
coarse Jokes and chaffering nonsense,
debase their sense of duty and dimin-
ish every day their mental horizon
and lower their moral plane.
Make home beautiful and attrac-
tive, and every member of the house
hold will be elevated. A country
place should imply all that is charm
ing in nature and all that is fruitful
in field 1t should be a reservoir
from which issue the fountains of vir-
tue, intelligence and hospitality.
From such Il home the highest type
of the American citizen is drawn.

Chicken Thieves.

Geo. Tabler had little experience
with chicken thieves this week. One
morning while George was out at
tending to some chores, his wife
noticed a mans head sticking out of
the weeds. She called to George,
who went over and asked the man
what he was doing there. The fel-
low replied that he had gotten drunk
the hight before, lost his way, and
had gone to sleep in the weeds. This
did not seem plausible to George,
who later on made an investigation
and found that six of his chickens
were gone, and about peck of onions
were missing from the garden. They
were later found in pile near the
fence. The man had evidently faxed
them in the night, and was just going
afttr them when caught. IF some of
these night owls were apprehended
and given about 80 days in jail, this
work might be stopped. 1t should
be remembered also that under the
law now chicken thieves can be sent
to the penitentiary.
