The rest of the story is crowded with incident;
NO see the sublime faithfulness of the divorced
wife and mother; the history of the new Social

hutton in it's most cruel form to young Gordon;
the Overman murder and-but we must not tell
it all.
Every page throbs with action and with feel

tbe story. but that it is powerful, dramatic and
,bsorbingly interesting no one will deny.

Does Education Pay

The editor by request withholds the name of
the author of the following interesting biography.
All the statements, however, are literally true
and speak their impressive lesson. 1t may add
something to this story to know that it's author
and all concerned now live in the South.
Some years ago my father, a natural genius
in some respects, but uneducated, was a day labor
er in a factory located in a Northern State. Four
sons we're born and reared in the humble home
of that meducated, unframed day laborer. They
all learned their fathers trade.
Il was the oldest son and I used every oppor-
tmity to get a little education, attending the win
ter school, as did all my other brothers. All of
us grew to manhood and all learned our fathers
trade. as said above. I still continued my edu-
cation largely by home reading. But for several
years l worked at my trade only a few months of
the year and with the money [ earned attended
school. My two brothers next of age seemed not
to care for an education, neglected the common
school, and took the first opportunity to leave it
forever.
Il succeeded in encouraging my youngest
brother to remain in the common school until he
completed its course of study. In addition to
TINS common school training this brother secured
a term or two of normal school training.
My education soon enabled me to secure a
forcman's position in the factory, but my two
brothers, naturally as gifted as myself, had to
remain laborers because they had not enough edu-
cation to take higher positions. From a fore
mans place [ rose to be manager of the factory.
l now manage a number of factories and am a di-
rector in several large corporations. Ny young
est brother whom l kept in school is one of my
foromen and is earning a good salary. My other
two brothers now work for me-. They are still day
laborcrs. They can not get higher because they
have no education. During the past ten years 1
could have put both of them in positions paying
from $500 to $1,000 per year, if they had-had
even a thorough elementary school education."-

Curses win be Turned to Praises.

We must bring the country people nearer to-

schools. We are pledged to educate the people
of North Carolina. We have heard from the

the children and to build good roads; you must
raise money by levying taxes. Some wileurse

The Nebraska Republicans last week declared
for Roosevelt and Webster as the Presidential
ticket for 1904. Webster is a Nebraska Republi-
can who has never been heard of outside of his
own section. But there seems to be a growing
appreciation Of the dignity of the Vice-Presi-
dency, and it is not likely that either party will
name a nonentity for second place next year.
The country risks too much in having a man of
doubtful ability or character with only the brittle
thread of one mans life between him and the
power of the Chief Executive.

Have you seen the bulletin entitled "Good
Roads for Farmers" which the Department of
Agriculture is sending out? all money spent on
repairing earth roads," says the pamphlet, "be-
comes each year a total loss without materially
improving their conditions. They are, as a rule,
the most expensive roads that can be used, while
on the other hand stone roads, if properly con-
structed of good material and kept in perfect
condition, are the most economical roads that
can be constructed" These are the conclusions
of one of the greatest authorities in the world on
the subject of good roads.-Gastonia Gazette.

the Vice Consul was not killed, nor even hurt,
but was fired upon, and the squadron will proceed

NAMES OF THE KNOWN DEAD
Missing Are Additional to Those Estimated
as Having Perished.


The identified dead are as follows at
this writing: Karl Rupp, Orfvillele
Rupp, two Rupp girls; G. II. Garrett's
5-year-old son.
The number of dead is merely a
matter of estimate Members OF res
cuing parties tell of how they saw
people drop from houses only to be
swept away by the food. and others
tell of men who, terrified at the ap-
proach of the fire, dropped into the
water, where they sank and did not
reappear. The estimated number of
dead does not include the large num-
Der classed as missing, who cannot
otherwise be accounted for. Neither
does 1t include the number who are
supposed to have lost their lives in the
fire. In the latter class there is abso-
lutely no means of arriving at even
an approximate number of victims.
1t will be at least three days before
the correct number of dead will be de-
cided upon. Work of rescuing the vic
tins of the flood is being pushed for
ward with vigor. Steam launches are
now putting up and down the river,
picking up survivors. Dozens of small
boats were in use, but they could

Two Million Loss at HutchinsOn.'
LOOKS BETTER AT DIES MONIES
Waters Are Declining and Flood Sufferers
Are All Housed

Des Moines, June 1.-The Des
Moines river is declining at the rate
of an inch an hour. Extreme cold
continues and the flood victims are
still without sufficient clothing. The
most alarming reports are received
concerning the epidemic of pneumo-
MIA and kindred disorders. Doctors
are unable to get sleep so numerous
are the calls. Scores of fatalities
have been averted, as teams and
boats have succeeded in reaching the
freight cars strangled at the outskirts
of the city. The Northwestern, Min
neapoIis &5 st. Louis and Rock Island
are operating trains irregularly. The
other roads are tied up. The river has
begun to decline at Ottumwa and Ed
dyville, leaving terrible trail of
ruins. The conditions at these places
remain unchanged.
The number of lives lost in this vi
cinity cannot be learned for some
time. There seems to be ample veri-
fication of the reports which account
for the loss of more than a dozen
lives in the bottoms. Great anxiety is
felt for the safety of the people of
Kansas City, Kans. One rumor circu-
lated during the night was that scores
of people had perished there, but ow-
ing to the fact that there has been
absolutely no communication with
that place since yesterday. there is a
general disposition to discredit this
and other sensational reports.
Des Moines, June 1.-The flood situ-
alton in Iowa is improving. The Des
Moines river has been falling rapidly,
eight feet being reported at Boone in
