LET US FILL YOUR Oco1ists' Prescriptions,
 and in fact, do all your Optical Repairing. PAUL ROESSLER'S SON, -> Optician, Sl6 Chapel Street. ESTABLISHED

just as the rigors of the northern win
 ter were approaching. Scantity clad, as bestted their former home in the trop- ies. without means of subsistence and
 worn and emaciated by famine during seven months C. siege, hundreds of them perish of cold, hunger and disease.
 Their evil reputation had preceded them. Noca Scotians bitterly resented
 this attempt to quarter upon them q
 horde of semi savage outlaws from Ja- |mgica. and extended neither sympathy
 nor assistance. Under the pressure of dire necessity and without restraints of
 conscience or of previous training, it is
 not strange that the marcons soon came
 to deserve the evil name that had been
 bestowed upon thenl They became
 thieves, highwsymen, piclSpoekets-- sometimes murderers.
 So great became the clamor against them that the government gathered to-
 gether as many of them as could be
 found on the spurof the moment and
 transported them to Sierra Leone, on
 the west coast of Africa. What became
 of them thereafter history does not re-
 cord. We may imagine that some of then: at last found their way back to
 thei= own people. from whom they had
 been torn years before by the rapacious slave trader.
 A remnant of the maroons, however, escaped the second ransDortat ton and remained in Nova Scotia. In time the prejudice against them wore away, and, with the true African power of adapt ing themselves to circumstances, they became fishermen and small farmers. From time to time ruaWay slaves from the United States reached the maritime province. and with these the naroons readily intermarried. Many negro communities thus sprang up in various parts of Nova Scotia, of which Hamp- sch Town is the largest and shows the most characteristic traces of it's tropi- Ical origin. Pittsburg Dispatch.

THE BRIDGEPORT RACES.
The Track at Nutmeg Park in Excellent Condition-The Attendance New IIa

The Track at Nutmeg Park in Excellent
 Condition-The Attendance New Ha-
 ven Horses in the Matinee Contests.
 There were three races on the score cards for the entertainment of patrons at Nutmeg park. Bridgeport, on last Saturday afternoon, when the beautiful summer weather made a short outing very agreeable. The attendance was < very light. possibly 800 persons being at the park, and of this number many were owners, trainers and drivers, that on account of payment of entrance money are entitled to free admission. Employees, track officials and others were properly on the free list. Possibly the many pleasure resorts, both sea- shore and inland, drew patronage that will go to Nutmeg park later In the season.
 The young man in charge of the track had the half mile course in re- markedly excellent condition. It ap- peared to be firm but not hard enough to sore the trotters. The races were conducted by very genial company of gentlemen, a majority of whom are owners of the valuable park. It is the intention of the managers to give a number of races this season and to pro- vide first class sport. This is the first season for the present management, who will take the utmost pains to give general satisfaction. .
 The officials iii charge of the time and other details of the race were p. A Godfrey, F. l.. Newton, Edmund Warren, Dr. R. D. Martin and A. E. Gardner The starters stand was oc- cupied by Dr. T. F. Martin, whose first call was for the four pacers entered in S the 2:25 class. Paper Boy, one Of the starters, is from New Haven. It Is understood t.at the Judges were not < unanimous in their decision that the second heat was dead heat, as some of the gentlemen saw Dick K. first at the wire by nose. The heat was close enough to require the careful judgment of an expert to decide it.

Policy of Education Board Called in
Question.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer
There is a good prospect for
another spirited educational scrap
in North Carolina. The Biblical Re
cOr1ler of this week has lively edi-
tOrial on the General Education
Board-which it says ''aspires to di-
rect the educational benevOlence of
the nation''-and it's policy as devel-
oped in this State. Its policy at the
outset, as our contemporary under
stood it, was to help the free schools,
but the miscellaneous aggregation of
school men who met in Raleigh in the
early part of last year to welcome
the General Education Board to the
State, and who were called "Leading
Educators" have not been invited to
anything, since they welcomed and
bOlstered," and have not been called
Leading Educators a single time
except that once In short, accord
ing to the Recorder, they are not in
it any more and the policy seems
now to be to ignore the denOmina-
tiOnal and private schools and estab-
lSI hollildl departments lOf ulle III
struction of free school teachers in the
State schools only.
We should like to reproduce this
editorial, Just merely for the promo
ton of the gayety of nations, but
dare not. And yet we may do it, I'M
lees we are stopped, or get side
tracked, or something. The scrap
which we are expecting it to produce
promises to be one which we can view
from a safe perch on the fence with
perfect impartiality, prepared to con-
graduate whoever is victor, and to
condole with whoever is vanquished,
for we are for the State schools. as
for all other schools, and are still
looking askance, as at the beginning,
at this General Education Board, re-
senting itspatronage little bit, and
fearing, Il little bit, that it may
introduce a Trojan horse into the
camp.

CAPT. c. B. benson.
The State Loses a Valuable Citizen by
His Death.
FAYETTEVILLE Observer.

Fayetteville Observer.
In the death OF Captain Claude B.
benson, of Raleigh, the State has lost
q valuable citizen. He was one OF the
gentlest and most lovable OF men.
As the Wilmington Messenger says,
he was a brave Confederate soldier, a
gifted writer, eloquent orator, cour-
teous gentleman, and devout Chris
tian.
He was born in Suffolk, Virginia, in
1887; was educated at the Collegiate
and Military Institute at Ports
mouth, Virginia, and came to North
Carolina in 1858, when he entered
upon that course as an accomplished
educator which has SO distinguished
him. Since the administration OF
Governor FOwle he has served as
Secretary of the State Board OF
Charities, a work upon which he con
centrated all the energies OF his well
trained mind and the devotion of his
kind heart.
At the outbreak OF the war he
raised a company in Chatham, where
he was then residing, which served in
the defense of Wilmington. He was
shortly thereafter, in recognition OF
his skill as mathematician and en-
gineer, transferred to the engineer
corps of the Confederate army.
In January, 1868, he married Miss
Matilda COwan, of Wilmington. His
wife and the following children sur
vive him: Mr.. Thomas c. benson,
Mrs. Lee A. benson, Miss Katherine
w. benson, Mr.. Eugene G. benson,
Miss Mary A. benson, and Mr.. {. b.
benson He is also survived by two
brothers and three sisters.
The Raleigh News and Observer
says:
'Captain benson was noted as an
eloquent speaker His naturalpOwers
of oratOry were developed to the
highest degree. He made many ad-
dresses on public OccasiOns-all full
of valuable information, and rendered
in his own eloquent style.
'In Captain benson North Caro-
lima has lost one of it's most valued
citizens, an able educator, one who
has always had at heart the promo
ton of the Industrial and educatiOn-
| al interests of his adopted State, a
cultured gentleman of the old chival-
rous type, Confederate soldier with
an enviable record.
He was buried yesterday at Pitts
| bOrO, where his remains were carried
in special train, escorted by many
| prominent people.

Vigorous Old Age

Paine's Celery Compound makes the old
feel young, and cures their ills. 1t has added
years of health and enjoyment to many life.
Use this great medicine regularly, and its invig-
Grating powers will fill your declining years
with health, strength, and happiness. Read
what George F. Morse, 81 years old, writes:-
WELLS & RICHARDSON Co.,
Gentlemen Just word in favor of
Paine's Celery Compound, hoping it may catch
the eye of some afflicted person, and they
may receive the same satisfactory benefit.
Some IS years ago l had a combination of
malaria, chill5 and fever, and grip, which con-
tnued for year or more; meantime l lost in
weight about 60 pounds, trying different medi-
cines and doctors with unsatisfactory results.
Paine's Celery Compound was recommended,
and, after using little began TO improve,
gaining about a pound week. In year
had regalned 50 pounds of the lost weight and
good health, and have been well man ever
since. Yours truly, GEORGE F. MORSE.

GOOD RESOLUTIONS.
Baltimore Sun

A great many good resolutions
were made with the beginning of the
new year in all parts of the world.
Some people resolved to quit smok-
ing, some to quit drinking alcoholic
beverages, some to abstain from
swearing, and so on all through the
commandments in the decalOgue or
elsewhere. Some of these good reso-
lntions will be forgotten in one week,
some will last two weeks, and some
may be recognized as late as the first
day of February. But those who
break through these self imposed
resolutions should not feel humili-
ated at the lack of strength of char
acter of which they are made pain
fully aware by the annual backsliding.
The effort usually is a laudable and
an honest one. and the failure per-
haps comes from undertaking too
much. For an habitual drinker to
suddenly become a teetotaler is an
exceedingly hard thing to do, and
only men of the greatest strength
and determination can accomplish
it. Those who cannot do so should
feel encouraged if the resolution holds
good until February 1. If the excess
sive drinker can give his stomach a
rest for a whole month, and the eX-
cessive smoker can give his heart and
his nerves months holiday, he will
accomplish something which will
greatly strengthen his health, and
this will be done at a sacrifice and by
the exercise of an amount of self con-
troll of which some of the censorious
brethren have no knowledge.
One important resolution is that
of the boy cigarette smoker. Every
right minded boy who has the ciga-
rette habit resolved at the beginning
Of the new year to abandon it for
ever If he finds his strength failing
him and a return to cigarettes inn
pending, he can easily save himself
without any great effort by buying
a pipe and a pouch of tobacco. 1t
is likely that any kind of smoking is
deleterious to a youth, but there can
be no doubt that the pipe is far less
deadly, and less apt to undermine
the strength of the body and send
the boy to the asylum for the feeble
minded, than the cigarette.
In singing out excessive smoking
and drinking as subjects for good
resolutions it must not be understood
that these are the only bad habits
to which flesh is heir. The man who
eats too much is transgressing the
moral law, as we'll as the man who
drinks too much. While he does not
give the police SO much to do nor
put the State to so great an expense
in looking after him, he ruins his di-
gestion and his health. and while
perhaps not a public nuisance he is
very apt to be a nuisance to his fam
lily. The excessive eater should,
therefore, make some resolutions as
we'll as the excessive drinker.
Probably a resolution of amend
ment, if we'll kept, which would do
more to promote happiness than
many others, is one to be unselfish,
kind and polite at home and espec-
tally to the children of the family,
who should always have a good ex-
ample in their parents and their
elders in their household.
Those who keep their New Year
resolutions a full month this year
should be encouraged to hope that
they will be able to hold out two
months the next time they swear off,
and SO on until they are masters of
themselves again.

The FARMER.

Lawson Eares in Charlotte Observer.
At early dawn when birds begin
To chant their morning lay,
The farmer rises from his bed
To greet the coming day.
He sits him not in idle mood,
Nor waits the shining sun,
But e'er its light the hill-tops touch
His days work has begun.
He calls upon the boys to Come
And plant the field in cOrn;''
And they in very looks partake
The vigor Of the morn.
With joyous heart he plants the corn,
With light steps sows the wheat
For then he knows when winter comes
He'll have enough to eat.
He'll have enough for each and all
OF those who claim his care;
And to, his neighbor, poor, III want,
Perhaps little spare.
On, on he tolls, until the noon
When comes the frugal meal,
And then tbs Boys the team yoke up
And back into the field
ana tnuS he tOliS from morn I'LL night,
Fulfilling the command
That man shall earn his daily bread
BY work Of his own hand.
And in reward for honest toll
His Maker kind doth give
All He Has promised in His word
To those who work to live.
He's bread, milk, butter on his board,
And i'll his smOke-hOuse meat
His barns are stuffed with hay and oats,
His cribs with corn and wheat
A hardy yeoman OF the land.
The monarch OF the soil,
He seeks alone to gain support
BY honest daily toll.
No greed for office fills his mind
no anxious cares his breast,
The day he gives to honest work,
The night he takes for rest
Then honor to the farmer who
Leans on his own strong arm,
Who loves his country, trusts in God.
And tills his modest farm.
