The Number 81 Our Hairs.

According to the Medical Record.
fair-halred people possess commonly
between 10000 and 100000 hairs on
the scalp. the number being about the
same for man and woman. Dark
haired people have on average 10000.
while red-haired people are said to
have only 10000 hairs. But the latter
apparently possess one great advan-
tage in the fact that they retain their
hair better. seldom becoming bald.
Their hair Is much coarser than that
of dark or fair-halred persons.

NORTH cARoL1NA's GRANDsoNs.

rpo Charlotte Observer insists that pretty
..-1r everybody who amounts to anything eth
came from North Carolina or has North Car
- blood in his veins. And there seems to be
o truth in it. We we're in the Olivia Raney
TIrorv 2 few nights ago and picked up, quite
~ random, five biographies of famous men. The
em+ was that of Thomas II. Benton, the states
who was born near Hillsboro. The Sec
ond was that of the great Union Admiral, David
Forracut. whose mother, it is not generally
Known. was a native of Lenoir County. The
third was a life of the equally great Confederate
loader, Gen. Nathaniel B. Forrest, whose father
uas born in Orange County. When the cele-
broted artist Whistler died a month ago, we
learned for the first time that his mother was a
Wilmington woman. And now Judge Walter
Montgomery tells us that General Luke E.
Wright. who is to succeed General Taft as Gov
ernor-General of the Philippines, is the son of
q Halifax County man who emigrated to Ten
nessec before the Civil War. Blood will tell.

by any person, unless a well known object of
charity shall be evidence that the person COM
mlttlng the same is a tramp.
Sec. 1884 "Any person who may be able to Ia
Dor and who has-no apparent means of subsist-
ence' and neglects to apply himself to some hon
est occupation for the support of himself and his
family; or, If any person shall be found spending
his time in dissipation, or gaming, or saunter-
ing about without employment, or endeavoring
to maintain himself or his family by any undue
or unlawful means, such person shall be a vag-
rant and guilty of a misdemeanor, and punished
by a fine not exceeding fifty dollars or by i'm
p~risonment not to exceed thirty days; and the
offence shall be cognizable before a justice of the
peace, who may release the party on his giving
a recognizance, with or without security for his
industrious and peaceable department. for one
year or less from the date thereof, or may also
impose on him, the punishment not to exceed
that above mentioned"
1t seems to us that these laws, if properly en-
forced, would give us ample protection against
the vagrant class. And if the officers would
apply them to loaing dudes in the city, as well
as to idle negroes in the country, the public
would be much benefited.

THE PROBLEM OF THE AG1TAToR.

We find much pleasure in the fact that our
editorial of two weeks ago on Booker Washing
ton and Negro Education" has been so generally
commended by all classes of our people. The
negro ought to keep out of politics, stay in his
place. and drop all notions of social equality. We
ought to do our duty towards them, give them
proper educational advantages, and encourage
the leaders who are laying emphasis on industry
and character. This was the policy we advo-
Gated, and with one mornings mail there came
approval from one of the most intensely South
ern editors we know and from a thoughtful and
capable negro leader. This illustration goes to
show that the problem is not nearly so hopeless,
the disagreement not nearly so momentous, as
most of US think.
The Methodist leader, Bishop Gambler, of Geor-
ga, IS doubtless right in saying that if there
were less historical agitation by sensation
mongers of the press and the platform, an ad-
justment could be brought about that would keep
the negro in his place, and useful in that place,
without menacing the social and political SUI
premacy Of the white man. Instead of condemn
ing all negroes, it is the part of common sense
to encourage and assist those who are contribut-
ing to this solution of the problem.

Public Morals Have Not DeteriOrated.

Observe now the immense improvement IN
American public morals. Professor McMasters,
in his capital little book, with the Fathers"
supposedly v~irtuous ancestors. To be sure we
have public frauds now, but they do not go with
out protest. The daily papers make their chief
business the protest against official misconduct;
and if it does not really exist, the papers, know
ing we'll what will catch the public attention,
assume that it exists and attack the imaginary
evils with equal vigor as real evils. Note also
that to-day a United States Senator who should
advocate the passage of a bill in the interest of
a private client would thereby loose upon himself
the watchdogs of our political morality who
would bay him out of public life; yet we are
told in a recent credible volume that Daniel
Webster did this very thing and was quite open
about it. Also, the American Senator who would
to-day drink whiskey during the course of the de-
livery of a speech would within five minutes have
nothing but empty seats for his auditors, while
the morning papers all oyer the Republic would
next day have pictures of him, with heavy head
lines of condemnation; yet, we are told that just
this was done in that august and historic cham
her less than sixty years ago. The morality OF
orr public men, too, is beyond comparison bet
fer than formerly; and that which in the days
Of CLAW was taken as a matter of course, would
in 1903 certainly retire a man at the earliest
possible moment that his constituency could de-
liver him their verdict.-Senator Albert j. Bev-
eridge, in Saturday Evening Post

NORTH cARoL1NA's vAeRANcY LAW.

The strict enforcement of the new Georgia law
against vagrancy, as given on page 10 of this
issue, has attracted the attention of the entire
South, and has brought the subject of vagrancy
legislation prominently before the public. OF
course, such measures are susceptible of abuse,
but within proper bounds they can be made to
accomplish much good. 1t is a Scriptural prin-
cIpIe that if a man will not work neither should
he eat. We have also had the maxim from time
mmemorial that ian idle brain is the devils
Workshop"
1t IS indeed from the idle, rowing element of
our population that most of our criminals come,
and a law aimed at this class might do much to
lessen crime.
The discussion of the subject has led t. the
discovery that North Carolina has an anti
vagrancy law, though until now it has been a
dead letter. Volume 2 of the Code contains the
following sections:
Section 1923. "Any person going about from
place to place begging or subsisting on charity
shall be a tramp, and punished by Imprisonment
III the county jail not more than SIX

Hidden Crackers.

In the preface to Gail Hamilton's
poems, published under the title "Chips,
Fragments and Vestiges," the sister Of
the dead author says that few yell
lowed papers exist covered with her
verses written in childish hand.
One such sheet has the heading
Chips and Parings." Another is call
ed MARY A. Dodge's Scribbles." These
were all written before she was twelve
years old. But the earliest, written
when she was eight, is the best:
When mother hides her crackers in
Old coffeepots all made Of tin,
We seldom ever find them out,
Although all day we look about.
Now, though we all like crackers well,
And bakers have enough to sell,
Yet we all eat them up fast
That mother hides to make them last.
This poem" was solemnly and silent
y handed to mother by the little aur

the crackers were hidden.
