Narrow Escape at WrightsvilIe

Rev. Richard w. Hogue, D. D.. rector

caught in a most dangerous position
late Saturday afternoon while bath
ing in old ocean at Wrightsville beach.
In fact, but for timely assistance he
would have drowned.
Rev. Mr.. Hogue was in bathing in
the ocean in front of the Carolina
zach club building and before he rea-
lized it he had ventured too far out
and was in a slue. Though a good
swimmer he could not battle success
fully with the current and was COM
PEELED to call for help.
His cries fortunately attracted atten-

son of Mr.. Frank Cause, pluckily went
to the rescue. The young gentleman.

dauntless courage, soon reached Rev.
Mr.. Hogue. who was about exhausted.
He succeeded in getting him safely to
the shore, where is was necessary for
medical attention to be given him. He
soon recovered and is now perfectly
we'll, which is a source of great relief
and qualification to his many friends
and admirers in Wilmington.

Decadence of Living.

The magazines have given us arti-
in nature and art-with the excep-
ton of lying.
1t used to be that lying was a fine
art. The mar who could lie judicious-
ly n properly was entitled to a high
seat at the feast and the encomiums
of his feilowmen.
In the good old times it was recog-
nized that to lie required tact and dis
erection, to say nothing of considerable
intelligence and a sturdy memory The
man who could start out with ona
interesting lie, and then continue
through a sequence Of lies, each of
which supported and lent verisimili-
u d to the Introductory lie was given
the credit he deserved.
But today, how has the lie fallen;
how has the fb faded.
Where do we get our lies? The
butcher boy tells us how he forgot to
bring the roast; the grocer boy an
SwerS he had to wait until the farmer
brought the fresh eggs; the paper
hanger comes around two days after
he was to begin work and puts up
a weak fabrication concerning Illness:
the iceman tells us fimsy things about
meltage and leakage; the milk man
gives us bloWhole statements about
pasteurization and pastureiZing; the Of
flee boy continues to lose g~randmothers
during the baseball eason h cook
tries to make us believe we eat all the
sugar-and so it goes.
How paltry, how cheap, how artifi-
cial the lies are nowadays
Lying is no longer a fine art. 1t
has become q trade.
Is it any wonder the people even
show a lack of interest in the ruth?
Formerly it had the charm Of con-
trast.
