FIREMEN'S CARNIVAL.


The carnival held last Friday after
noon and evening on the l.. A. G.
grounds by the Union Steam Fire Co.
and the Fleet Wing Hook n Ladder
Co., Of this city, was largely attended
and proved to be an immense success,
especially from financial stand point.
Never within the memory Of the oldest
inhabitants of Lambertville has there
been seen such large gathering of
citizens on any single occasion as was
present last Friday evening, when mp
wards OF 5000 people surrounded the
large platform erected temporarily in
front Of the grand stand The latter
structure presented striking appear
ance, 1t being filled to its utmost seat
ing capacity whilst hundreds pro-
menaded around the diamond which
was brilliantly eliminated by four large
electric arc lights.
The proceedings opened in the after
noon with base ball match between
the two above named fire companies,
and proved an interesting affair. The
Union boys, however, proved far too
good for the Fleet Wing and won out
by the score Of 10 to 6. For the win.
ners Sam Clark and Ed. Slack were
the star performers, and Messrs Lam
bert Reed, Asa Weaver and Arthur

the well-known "south paw" pitcher,
was compelled to retire from the pitch
er's box i'll the fifth inning on &C
count of slight attack Of sunstroke
brought on by overhead from his exer-
tons in the firing line. Weaver, who
superseded Parks, gave the spectators
an exhibition of how they "shoot EN-
in" ont in Carbon Go. Penna., and
when the game was called by Umpires
j. Il. Kline and Geo. Johns, the dimi
nitiye Dutchman, was rendered a fiat
tering reception by the spectators on
his return to the bench.

streams of people were seen to make
their way up Main and Union streets
towards the grounds, which. az alread )
stated, were ablaze with electric lights,
to witness an exhibition of colored
cakewalkers from Trenton under the
management OF Howard Bundy, for
merly Of Lambertville. So eager were
the spectators to get a glimpse Of the
cakewalkers that the seats in the grant
stand were filled to overlooking, ant
people, unable to secure the reserved
seats, stood eight and nine deep arount
the edge Of the fifty #. platform tina
had been temporarily erected by Chic
Geo. Arnett for dancing. The success
Of the colored people was instantane
Gus, and the walk had to be repeated
which was done, after few selections
OF music from the Liberty Band which
evoked much applause for the masterl,

The Renewal a Strain.

Vacation is over. Again the bell
rings at morning and at noon, again
with tens Of thousands the hardest
kind Of work has begun, the renewal
Of which is mental and physical
strain to all except the most rugged.
The little girl that few days ago had
roses in her cheeks, and the little boy
whose lips were then 50 red you would
have insisted that they had been
"kissed by Strawberries, have already
lost something Of the appeara nee Of
health. Now is time when many
children should be given tonic,
which may avert much serious trouble
and we know of no other so highly to
be recommended as Hoods Sarsapar-

Il BOY

bill Apps grandson wants to go to
al is that the young scion of the lamented
Southern freside philosopher lives in New
Jersey and not in the Sunny South, which
his grandfather loved so well.
Harry Smith is the lad. He is the ten
year-old son of Victor Smith, of the New
York Press, who has made application to
be allowed to SEND his son barefooted to
school. Harry has gone barefooted all his
life, winter and summer, and his father
asks that this be allowed III Jersey City,
at least till winter sets in.
1t is reported that the request has been
granted, though DR.. Murray E. Ramsey,
a member of the Board of Education, said
that while personally he thought it might
be a good thing for boys to go barefoot,
provided they kept their feet clean at all
times, yet he feared that Ii one boy were
given the privilege asked for other boys
might want the same favor.
Mr.. Smith reasons for asking that his
boy be allowed to 90 barefoot shows that
Harry has remarkable feet. HE can
walk on tacks," says Mr.. Smith, land
even broken glass does not cut his feet
He coasts down hill and uses his bare
feet as other boys use their shoes. He
can sleep out doors in any kind of wealth
er, and has never had a cold or a days
Illness
In this habit Of going to school bare
foot there are many distinguished pre-
cedents for young Smith. Bill Arp
himself did so, and the farmer boys who
became presidents all did so, though some
of them had scant opportunity for any
school going, with or without shoes. 9TH
barefoot boy with cheek of tan has beer
written of by Whittier, and everywhere
in this broad land, where schools flourish
outside of the rules of great cities, mel
have risen to the highest position ano
women have led in woman's sphere who
with feet to earth once went to schoo
without the least thought of impropriety
an example that is being followed today
by future great Americans.

JOHN Angler AND DUNN.

1t is announced that today the first
scheduled train on the Cape Fear and
Northern Railroad will leave Dunn at s
o'clock and return late in the afternoon.
This is a triumph for the earnestness,
aggressivenes sand work of John G.. An
gier, and because of its new outlet to the
world Dunn proposes to fittingly celebrate
the entrance of the road within its portals,
The great celebration of the event will
be next Thursday, and Dunn expects to
welcome at that time ten thousand people
who will come from all sections. Durham
will send a big delegation in honor of Mr..
Angler and Raleigh will also do him honor,
while from Harnett, Johnston, Cumber-
land and Sampson there will be present
people by the thousands.
There will be two big excursions on
that day, one starting from Durham, the
other from Raleigh, and these will be
joined by the thousands who will reach
private conveyance from all the other
sections, all OF whom will join in making
the day the greatest in the history of a
town which has had so wonderful a
growth.
There will be speech-making Of the best
and there will be a grand picnic besides.
Some of those who will speak are Messrs
w. A. Erwin, Jones Fuller, Frank Fuller
w. A. Guthrie, H. E. Norris, Armistead
Jones, d. H. Lear besides many 9th
ers, among whom Will be John Angler him
self, who is an orator Of no mean ability.
The day is to be a great one and the
people Of Dunn extend an invitation tc
all to be present. It is an occasion which
calls for its best hospitality and it is Ger
tain that none will be disappointed in The
welcome extended.

1894 the records show that the Northern
mills consumed over twice as much cot
ton as the Southern mills. Well can Il
be said that the development OF the South
ern textile industry is the marvel OF the
past ten years.
Yet it is what was to be expected, for
the logic Of the situation is that the mills
must seek the fields, and that where the
'~article is raised there the advantages must
be greater for its manufacture. This is a
truth that is slowly but surely percolat-
ing through the brains Of the manufacture
ers Of the North, and the next ten years
are certain to see the South stand as the
u~ndisputed master OF the textile indus
tries OF this country.
What is true Of cotton is in a great
degree also true Of tobacco, fer the trend
of events Will place the factories close to
fields. The tobacco raising sections are
certain in time to become the tobacco
manufacturing sections, and II this de
velopment the state of North Carolina
with its vast tobacco growing interests. i
certain TO be among those sections which
will be benefited.

TIE BLIGHT OF THE TRUST.

The apologists for the American Tobac-
co COMPANY methods and those who in
innate that the tobacco planter is get
ting nearly as much for his tobacco as
it is worth will do we'll to consider the
following statement:
In August, 1902, the Wilson market sold
about $500, 900 pounds of tobacco at an
average of II cents, but this year only
500, 900 pounds have been sold, at an aver
age of 4 IL cents. The effect on the
business of the town has been very mar
led.
The reason for the small amount sold
this August is patent. The armer rec
ognize that they are not being offered the
money value of their tobacco and they
are holding. In August a year ago there
was five times as much tobacco sold in
Wilson as in the August just passed. In
thus holding their crop the farmers who
sold at Wilson are showing good, hard,
common sense.
But look at the figures which are put
in comparison. In August, 1902, the
average was eleven cents a pound for to-
bacco, while in August, 1908, it has fallen
to four and one-half cents a pound, a de-
crease of nearly 81 per cent. for which
the American Tobacco Company is to be
thanked.
The decrease is an unnatural one and
it is the sheerest nonsense to talk about
this being caused by the offering Of in,
ferior grades of tobacco. 1t IS in rea-
son to believe that the grades offered
i'll Wilson In the same months in sue
ceeding years are nearly similar in quail
ity, and there is not a ten year old child
in North Carolina who can be deceived by
trust organs who cry inferior grades

THE PENALTY OF SUCCESS.

eft does not make much difference
what we do in this world, as long as it is
honest" says The FinanCier, which IN an
article on The Penalty OF Success" ex-
presses a truIsm.
And there is a penalty attached to sue
cess. 10 matter what kind OF a success this
be. The men or the women who rise to
the top need not think that there IS not
envy and malice, sneers and jlbes be-
hind them. for there is, and it's a sad
commentary on the world and human ma
ture hat this is so.
1t NAV be d matter Of consolation to
those who succeed and who are carped at
that 1.-The best apples are the ones chunk
ed at but yet they pay a penalty Tor
their success, for they must mount where
others fail to keep steady feet upon the
ladder leading upward, and those who fail
are not always ready to hail the victor.
But to the article of The Financier,
which puts in words what the critic means
when he shrugs his shoulder, or upifts
his eyebrow. 1t says and says truly:
The man who accocmplishes things IN
this world necessarily makes enemies. All
mediocrity rises against him. His achieve
ments are minimized, and his failures mag
nifed-but his plans are stolen and his
methods adopted without credit. Where
it is not possible to do this, yituperation,
ridicule and malice are employed to de-
tract attention from the plain evidence OF
lack of ability on the part OF those who
mouth their spleen. Criticism Is easier
than accomplishment, but a sheer IS a
poor substitute for deeds done. The prlml-
tive man who first demonstrated the FEAST
bility of making skin clothing for him
self probably had to encounter the derlsion
of his denser minded tribe, just as his
later brethren had to undergo a like ex-
perience when they began to make civil
zation possible.
Honest emulation is open f~attery, BIT
carping criticism is the hand-malden OF
dishonesty. Still, the successful mar
mounts to higher planes over the should
ers of his critics. He saves his breath
for renewed effort. while they waste theirs
in empty vaporings. He acts while they
hesitate; he works while they wait. THAI
is why there is always one man IN a com
munity who is conspicuous by contrast,
and why, also, there is always one inter
est, one corporation, or one association
which overtops all others. The best bank
er in a town did not inherit his bushes:
genius. He worked. If he had stopped
to listen to his critics he would have
fallen far short of the mark. He would
not have escaped criticism even then, fol
failure is a fertile field for malicious com
ment. All of which goes to prove that i
does not make much difference what we d.
in this world. as long as it is honest. w
cannot escape the critic, but we at leas
! confuse him by making him appear il
the light of a false prophet, and We cal
also reap whatever material reward hare
work b~rings-which IS more than the
chronic kicker can look forward to-"

MILLS LEAD,

1t is a fact that speaks volumes for the
South when the cold figures show that fol
the year ending August the thirty-frst
the cotton mills of the South have ex-
ceeded the mills of the North in the num-
Der of bales of cotton used, and this for
the first time in the history of the cotton
industry.
The figures which show this are that fol
the twelve months ending with the thirty
first of August, 1908, the Southern mill.
consumed 1000, 729 bales of cotton as
against 1,367,63 bales consumed in the
Northern mills. This is a proud record
for the Southern industry and it is only {
forecast of a still greater increase.
Taking the past ten years in considera
ton the increase i. really remarkable. II

d HOWL OF THE DOG.

The injunction IS a complaisant institu-
new use for it, but in Tennessee the
limit seems to have been reached in the
way Of novelty, and the injunction sought
was granted.
In Knoxville a bill in chancery had been
entered, this being an injunction to stop
the bowling and barking of a dog. The
nuisance has been going on for a number
of years, and although the complainant
asked the defendant to stop the noise, the
latter had never lone so. The defendant
once had three dogs, one of which was
and bowling, day and night, so the com
plalnant states. He also says that his
wife has almost been driven to nervous
prostration by the noise.
The complainant says that the affair has
now reached a point where patience ceases
70 be a virtue and he VIII stand the dis
turbance no longer, even if he has to incur
the enmity Of his n%eighbor, as he thinks
this preferable to the bowling of the
dog. One paragraph Of the complaint is
OF particular interest. It reads thus:
complainant would further state that
while it is sweet to hear the watch dog
honest bark, yet the sounds produced by
the bowls and cries of this dog are not
those Of the dog on watch, but those of a
dog il distress and herein complainant
wishes expressly to excuse the dog so far
as i'll feeling to him is concerned and does
not wish to impute to it any malice or i'm
proper motives however Indifferent and
regardless It's master may be, in the use
Of his property, with respect to the rights

LIKES TIE WATTS Law.
CataWba County News.

CatdWba county News
The editor Of the News, like almost all
the rest Of the good folks OF Catawba did
not think much of the bill passed by the
last Legislature, commonly known as the
Watts BILL but time proves many
things, and time has proved the Watts
Law to be a wise measure. Four incl
dents prove this concIusively: The good
order at the reunion in Newton where
seven thousand people assembled; the good
behavior at Rock Springs camp ground;
the scarcity of the toughs at Balls Creek
and last but by no means least, no fights
at McKenzies, the negro camp-meeting
place. The watts law is all right.
