Discovery Of Purple.

A dog belonging to Hercules Tyrius
was one day walking along the sea-
shore when he found and ate murex,
a species of shellfish. Returning to
his master, the latter noticed that the
dogs lips were tinged with color. and
in this manner Tyrian purple was dis
covered. The color was used In the
robes of emperors and mobiles. and the
expression born to the purple" meant
that the person was Of high birth. 1t
is strange to think that the favorite
color of royalty can be traced to the
curiosity or hunger Of the dog Of Tyre.

Scarcity Of Farm Labor.

Kinston Free Press.
Some of our correspondents COM
plain OF the scarcity of labor and seem
to be in a dilemma as 70 what to do
about it. There is no doubt but that
to-day no labor OF any kind is drug
in the market. To-day ten jobs are
looking for really competent man.
while a short time ago ten men were
looking for job. This Is the case ali
around, not only on the farm, but in
the building trades and in the store.
But the question that confronts the
farmer is what he is to do about his
farm. He has large number of acres
of productive land. It is ready for
cultivation and has been made to
yield in abundance. But this very
fact has tended to lead the farmer
astray, in the light of present condi-
tioas.
Tie only practicable thing for the
farmer to do now is to limit the num-
Der of acres he places under cultiva-
ton, and make those cultivated do
their full duty.
Prepare we'll for each crop. Have
the land in taultless condition and
make liberal use of fertilizers of one
kind or another and undertake to cu,-
tlvate no more than can reasonably be
taken care of by the force that in all
probability will be at command during
the season. Every crop should be
planned from start to finish before it
is begun.
Right along this line another
thought presents itself and that is this !:
This country. is suffering from lack
Of an intelligent diversity OF crops.
Our people must learn, if they would
be prosperous, to live al home and
board at the same place.
In this heaven-favored land of East
ern Carolina it is plainly foolish for
our farmers to risk their all on one or
two single lines of production, such as
cotton or tobacco. No up-to-date
farmer should think of resting until he
has produced enough to carry him
through the year without cent OF ex-
pense to his "money crops"
When farmer stakes his all on a
tehaeco crop he necessarily puts him-
self at the mercy of the American To
bacco Company that now dominates
the market. If the A. T. Co. does not
want the farmers tobacco the latter is
then left fiat with limited supply of
money from his "money crops" and
his years supplies to buy-such eup-
plies as could be raised on his farm.
There are too many t'money crops
in this favored section for the farmer
to rest on one or two alone. There
are too many demands for farm pro-
duce for the farmer to be content to
bay these necessities-and that too
from a really less favored section OF
the Union.

NEGRO Race Decadenee.

Charlotte Observer.
The statistician of the New York
Times has been probing into the
twelfth census and concludes that the
exhibit of the compilation possesses a
melancholy interest tor those who in
dulge in the hope of great future for
the negro in this country. He finds
that in fifty cities in all sections of the
country the death rate among the
negroes was greater than the birth
rate. For example, in Boston, during
the census year, there were 1891
births and ii ,227 deaths of white per-
sons, the excess of births being 2,714;
while among the negroes the births
numbered 24O and the deaths 327-a
death excess of 81. Greater New York
shows that the births of whites num-
bered sc, ,164, and the deaths 79, ,229-a>
birth excess OF 1896. The births OF
negroes were l ,43O and the deaths ], $40,
the deaths exceeding the births $40.
As to Buffalo, Chicago and st. Louis
like comparison of birth and death
rates was made, with similar results.
New Orleans, which was expected to
make a better exhibit for the negro,
shows an excess of births over deaths
among the whites, the report for the
negroes icing births, 1,735; deaths,
3,31O, or a death excess of 1,575.
In the country at large, including
the cities, the increase for whites be-
tween 1880 and 1890 was $40 per
cent, and for blacks 1875 per cent.
The white Increase between 1890 and
1900 was 2O.7 per cent. and the in
crease of blacks 18 per cent. Theee
figures, however, are accompanied by
explanations that make the reported
increase of 13 per cent. in the eleventh
census too small and the gain reported
in the following census OF IL per cent.
consequently too large.
A contemporary asks the solution OF
this tendency of so "virile race as the
negro to extinction"-this contrast
with the evident conditions during
slavery" To our mind, it is plain.
During slavery the "down-troden rac5
was, as a rule, tree from worry, had a
plenty of wholesome food, was kept
properly clad, and was made to take
care of itself and Its progeny. No one
| in the South would re-establlsh the In
stitution OF slavery, but such figures Of
The Times statistician produces, and
his remark that ''it is evident that one
of the lessons the black race must learn
is how to keep itself on earth" are
amonfi the many proofs tina: that in
stitution was not so iniqultous as 1t haa
been painted.

Everybody Knows,

Selected
Everybody knows that there is and
probably always will be sickness, pain,
suffering and sorrow in this world, and
a multitude of things which cause un-
happiness, and which we would gladly
have otherwise.
Everybody also knows that If every
body would try to make the world
happier it could be made vastly hap
pier than it is.
And how many good things we have
to be thankful for-the flowers, the
fruits, the harvest, the seasons, day
and night, the sun, moon and stars,
the power to enjoy all the beauties OF
nature and art with the eye, all the
sweet harmonies OF music with the ear,
; the odors of flowers with the nostrils,
the foods that give us health and
i strength, the blessed sleep that comes
without price to the poorest.
How a single mistake in the con-
! ssruction OF one of the thousand parts
that compose cur bodies would torture
us! How a single mistake In the
great plan of the universe would in
yolve our planet in ruin How i'm
portant each to the whole It is as
serted by scientists that If only the
small birds on this earth were destroy
! ed, all vegetation, because of the enor
NOUS increase OF insects, would be
eaten by them, and every human being
and every animal would perish.
! It is far beyond our reach to com
prehend the power that governs al
these things, but 1t Is not beyond oul
reach to get some glimpses of the wis
dom and goodness manifested In wha
some call the laws of nature, and other
the laws of God.

The Vine Of the Spout.

Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
Deep in the heart of the city,
She washes and irons all day;
Her tired old hands are shaky and thin
And her hair, once yellow, is gray.
She stands near window to labor,
And every few moments looks out
And murmurs, "You're mlne." to the
small, sickly vine
That's climbing the old water spout
She waters 1t we'll in the twlllghy
And tenderly touches the leaves
As they nod in the zephyrs that come.
tlrnes get lost
So far from the grass and the trees.
She knows every tendril it carries,
Each bud Is a care, without doubt.
For she loves-with love that is sen,
from above
That vine on the old water spout.
She is wrnikled and ragged and tired, :
Her children have left her, know,
To fight the battle of life once again
She fought it for them long ago.
Friendless, alone, uncherished,
Her mother-love will not die out,
So she croons an old tune, all the af.
ternOOn,
To the vine on the old water spout.
It may be the world doesn't need her,
It may be the world doesn't care
For the old, lonely soul whose eyes are
SO dim,
Whose voice is thin as her hair.
It may be the world has forgotten
And yet 1 haven't doubt
God planted that seed-ior He saw
there was need,
Fer the vine on the water spout.
