know q man
With face of tan,
But who Is ever kind;
Whom girls and boys
Leave games and toys
Each eventide to find.
When day grows dim.
They watch for him,
He comes to place his claim;
He wears the crown
OF Dreaming-town;
The Sandman Is his name.
When sparkling eyes
Droop sleepywise
And busy lips grow dumb;
When little heads
Nod toward the beds,
We know the Sand-Man's come.

SUFFRAGE IN VERMONT.

A Subscriber" asks this paper to PRINT
the provisions regulating suffrage IN the
State of Vermont. The laws in that
State as to voting provide:
/. No person is a citizen of the State
who IS not a citizen of the United States,
by birth or naturalization;
2. To be entitled to give his vote or
suffrage touching any matter that CON
Germs the State OF Vermont he must take
the freeIDan's oath;
3. n person shall be admitted to take
the freeman's oath, or vote at an cleo
ton, until he has obtained the approba-
ton Of the town in which he resides"
The last section is wider than any barn
door. Under it the authorities could dis
franchise just as many votes as they
pleased, or rs many as necessary to guar
antee the old time Republican majority.
Under 1T, an opposition party would be
at the absolute mercy OF the ms That
wide open measure Is not to be mentioned
in the same breath with the grandfather
clause which must be strictly construed

THE LATE PM. ARTHUR.

One of the foremost men IN our mod
ern world OF organism was Mr.. +. NJ. Ar
thur, grand chief of the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers, whose sudden
death has already been noted IN these col
umns. He was a man noted for his CON
servatism and his success. He brought
into one organization all the locomotive
engineers of the United States-a company
o. the most skilled, trusted and capable
men in our industrial life. He had to
deal with men much above the average in
knowledge and responsibility-men who
feel the sense of their duty to the pubic.
He proved himself a wise leader OF this
high class Of skilled mechanics and won
their confidence as we'll as the confidence
of the whole public. There is no labor
organization In America that has com
anded more fully the respect of the
American people, and for that Chief Ar
thurs wisdom is largely responsible.

DEATH OF DR. JOHN 8. LONG

Many people IN North Carolina Will learn
with genuine regret OF the death of Rev
John S. Long, A. NJ, IL. D.. at the home
OF ms daughter IN Philadelphia. lie was
born IN Washington, n. c., and was edu
Gated at Macon College and the
University Of North Carolina, graduating
at both institutions with honor. He was
a brilliant young man, giving promise of
the ripe scholarship and eloquence that
marked his maturity. Almost Immediately
was elected solicitor OF the Washington
district. While on Tho threshold OF a
brilliant legal career, he was called 10
the ministry and served with great &C
and other cities in this State. Later he
moved TO New Bern and taught school
and was for about twenty-five years coun-
ty superintendent of schools. Feeling the
burden of years upon him Dr-Long moved
to Baltimore where he made his home
with his daughter. He came OF a distin-
guished family and was a great grandson
of Bishop Long, of England. He married
in 1852 Miss Annie Bonner Marsh. grand
daughter of Colonel Bonner, of Revolu-
tionary fame. Two daughters-Mr Mrs. S.
S. Willett, of Philadelphia, and Mrs. VIM.
F.. Yost, OF Forest Park.
The above is a brief sketch Of a golden
hearted, patriotic. noble North Carolina
gentleman. He was a scholar, an orator,
a charming writer and a delightful com
panion. He was endowed with those
graces of head and heart that are found
in few men, combining the gentleness of
a woman with the spirit of the noblcst
manhood. He had achieved reputation
in and out of the State as an orator. and
in 1898 delivered in the presence of 1000
people a Confederate memorial address ii
Baltimore pronounced the most perfect OF
its kind ever delivered in that city.
DR.. Long loved North Carolina with 4
patriots love, and the State has lost a
true son IN his death.

. MAGNIFICENT P E

The current issue of the Cleveland Star
contains twenty four pages devoted to a
comprehensive and interesting recital Of
the industries and enterprises OF the grow
ing town Of Shelby and the progressive
county of Cleveland. 1t is d revelation to
those who have not kept up with the Won
derful progress Of that splendid people.
The paper is p~rofusely illustrated with
photographs of the men whose industry and
genius have produced the prosperity de-
scribed, and pictures of cotton mills and
other leading industries that have borne
a leading part in the progress told in pen
pictures and IN electrotype object lessons.
The edition does great credit to Editor
Hoey and his staff. That paper has been
a leading factor in all that it describes so
well. Here's the sentiment expressed by
the Star that explains the better condi-
tons for the county and the popularity Of
the Star:

past glorious, but the present month
and year the best in history, and the fu-

One Of the dishOnOrable features Of

used to be regarded. But IN the new
finance you are simply a fool If you
do not use any methods TO make money
that viii not land you in jail. The syndi-
cate that tioated the United states steel

used It's information IN the most shame

was not even the remotest attempt at
concealment. SO the directors of the
