THE NINTH CRUSADE.

Is there to be a ninth crusade of
Christian soldiery against the Turks?
A few months ago the question
would have been absurd enough.
But now, in view of the plans which
are being considered by Knights
Templars at Chicago, the inquiry
bids fair to be answered in the affirm
ative.
The Knights Templars of the
United States number something
more than $4,000. Only certain
proportion, Of course, would go to
Bulgaria in the event of the forma-
ton of military league. But this
organization, should it decide on
such movement, could furnish a
very formidable force. It is safe to
say that the Templars of America
and Europe could put at least 1OO,-
900 men in the field against the inf
dels.
Such crusade would be scarcely
inferior in numbers, and markedly
superior in other respects, to any of
the eight principal movements for
the recovery of Jerusalem from the
Saracens. The first crusade, which
was undertaken in 1896 and which
was led by Godfrey de Bouillon and
other mobiles, comprised about 10O,-
900 men. 1t was the most success
full of the crusades. The second,
which was led by Conrad ILL., of Ger
many, and Louis VII, of France, in
1147, was stronger in numbers but
poorly organized. The third, by
Frederick Barbarossa, of Germany,
and Richard Occur de Lion, Of Eng
land, was less imposing and almost
wholly ineffective. The fourth cru
sade, which was undertaken in 1910,
on tremendous scale, frittered itself
away in city feuds and dissensions.
The last four of the crusades were
relatively unimportant.
It is not remarkable that the
Knights Templars, who trace the
origin of their order back to the
Latin kingdom of Jerusalem, and
whose oath requires them "to fight
the enemy Of Christ, even unto
DEATH" should be deeply moved by
the news of the Macedonia massacres
and should plan movement against
the Moslem oppressors. Time alone
can show whether the agitation of
this crusade is to be taken seriously.
But it is certainly an interesting ex-
ample of historical recurrence; and
it may yet be determining factor
in the eastern situation.

DO NOT DOSE THE STOMACH
Cure Catarrh By Natures Own
Method-Every Breath of
Hyomei Brings Relief.

Nearly every one who has catarrh
knows how foolish it is to try and
cure it by drugging the stomach.
Temporary relief may be given, but
cure seldom comes.
Until recently your ply sician
would have said the only way to cure
catarrh would be to have a change
Of climate; but now with Hyomei
you can carry health giving climate
in your vest pocket and by breath
ing it a few minutes four times day
soon cure yourself.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but 90 and consists of an inhaler
that can be carried in the vest pock-
et, medicine dropper and bottle
of Hyomei. The inhaler lasts life-
time, and if one bottle does not cure.
an extra bottle of Hyomei can be OBJ
tanned for so cents. It is the most
economical of all remedies advertised
for the cure of catarrh, and is the
only one that follows nature in her
method OF treating diseases of the
respiratory organs.
J. III. Hill & Son have sold great
many Hyomei oatAts and the more
they sell, tho more convinced they
are that they are perfectly safe In

WHAT is WEALTH?

What makes q man rich, a con-
tenn orary asks without answering
the question. Some nlen are poor
on$1OO, 900, others with$l ,OOO, 600 are
afraid of the poor house, while some
more fortunately constituted are
"passing rich ON fifty pounds
year."
Rockefeller with all of his millions
is still poor man. His money buys
a certain amount of clothes. He can
only wear so much. A man on an
income of one-thousandtb part of his
can dress as well. His money pro-
vides him bed, a downy couch with
beautiful adornments, but it cannot
purchase soothing sluinber. The
millionaire rises many morning
from 3 restless night and envies the
man who sleeps on corn shucks. His
table groans with the luxuries OF the
season and the reputed rich man
groans with dyspepsia. He would
exchange his millions for the stom-
ach of q farm hand.
If half Of what is told of RockefeI-
Ter is true, instead of being rich he
is poverty-ssricken in those things
which are worth Wiling for. Els hair
and eyebrows both have fallen out
and he is nervous, physical wreck.
OF what account are millions to him?
What constitutes wealth? Good
health, happy home, enough to
provide for the reasonable wants Of
those dependent upon us, and con-
tentment with what we have. These
constitute wealth.

An Abrupt End to All
Negotiations.
Raleigh Post.

Raleigh Post.
Governor Aycock gave out the
statement yesterday afternoon that
there will be no lease Of the Atlantic
and North Carolina Railroad.
Asked for more detailed state
ment, he said there was nothing else
to it. That Mr.. w. w. Mills and
his associate, Mr.. III. Z. Finlayson,
through whom the two propositions
to lease came, called on him during
the day and he the governor) in
formed them that he would not
further consider the proposition and
the negotiations were at an end.
Other than this the Governor had
no statement to make. He said there
would be no consideration of the
propositions at the approaching ses-
sion of the directors at Newbern.
Mr.. w. w. Mills was seen by
Post writer and asked i'll regard to
the situation. He said all he could
say was that negotiations for a lease
were entirely Of. He had called on
the Governor and been told that
there would be no further considera-
tion of his propositions to lease. He
said that from conversations he has
had with the Governor he is conf
dent the chief executive personally
favors leasing the read, but that for
two or three reasons he is constrain-
ed to exercise the perogative he has
and put an end to the negotiations.

Rev. F. D. SwINDELL,
Goldsboro, N. G.
DEAR BRoTHER:-Your esteemed
favor of the 10Th inst, to hand.
For some years after the saloons
were abolished in Concord there was
no increase in taxation. Since that
time, however, we have installed
electric lights, water works, and
established public schools, and of
course this naturally increased taxes.
We have also macadamized streets,
cement sidewalks in all the business
portion of town, and the population
has more than doubled. Our rate of
taxation is 1-20.
We have built city hall costing
about Sic, 900; graded schools $685.
600; water works 100000; and we
do not know of a business man in
our city, or any who pay taxes, that
want saloons even high licensed
saloons.
s. far as managing the help III the
factories is concerned, there is no
comparison. We had more trouble
when we were working $50 opera
tives with saloons than we have now
with 1900 operatives without sa-
looms. Previous to the abolition of
saloons we had no Building 6 Loan
Associations. We have two of these
now in successful operation, and
more of our people own their homes
than ever before. The people who
formerly drank are saving money
and purchasing homes. Business
has increased in this town very
much, aud taking away saloons has
never hurt business. When we had
saloons you scarcely could see lady
on the streets at night or on Satur-
days, and now the ladies have NO
hesitancy in going on the streets day
OR night.
So far as I am concerned [ have
never seen place for a saloon yet.
The town Or city that abolishea sa-
looms, and puts public sentiment be-
hind it to see that the law is rigidly
enforced, will grow and prosper. This
has been the experience Of Concord.
Yours truly,
w. r. ODELL.
P, ST. find that in 1886 the tax
able property of this town was $685.
716. This was the year prohibition
went in effect. Our amount this
year, is 81, 132, $40.
Yours truly,
w. r. ODELL.

n. &. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER "a I9t
PYTHIAN BAZAAR.

Centuries ago, in the ancient city
of Syracuse, Senator Damon incurr-
ed the displeasure Of the King, and
! was condemned to death. Among
| the soldiers of the King, there was
one Pythias, lover of the fair Ca
! lanthea, and also friend to the Sen
| atOr.
| By some means this soldier learn
F., ed OF the trouble of his friend the
Senator, and fastening to the Kings
court, he offered himself as hostage
for his friend, that he might have q
| few short hours to see his wife and
child, before the headsman and his
axe were called into service. His
offer was accepted; he was placed in
| the dungeon, and the Senator allow
ed to depart. In due time q shout
by the populace announced the re-
turn of the Senator, when the sold
ier and friend was released.
This event flung out upon life's
drama the silken banner bearing
the motto Friendship. The noble
order of Knights of Pythias, bearing
aloft this banner, was born in the
city of Washington on the nineteenth
of February 1853, with Justice H.
Rathbone at its head, and now num-
bers over half million brave and val
liant knights.
About four years later, Rufin
LodgeNo unfurled their tri-colored
banner in our fair city, and during
these years of labor and love, for suf-
fering humanity, has grown to be
one of the strongest fraternal orders
in our midst.
This order will, the first week in
November, hold a Pythian Bazaar,
Ia which we hope &nd expect every
Pythian to have a part.
We ask the lawyers and doctors,
merchants and farmers, manufacture
ers and mechanics, and especially
the ladies (the fair Calantheas of our
Gem City to aid us in this work by
their friendship and their support
in our undertaking to raise funds for
the purpose Of building a Pythian
Castle Hall.

BLANKET FRANCHISE.

1t Is Said to Call for Eishty-Two Miles
OF Street Railway Tracks
Los Angeles, Cal. April l0.-The
Times says: 1t is accepted as a fact
that Senator william E. Clark Of Men
tana represents the Southern Pacific
in the application for the celebrated
"blanket" franchise for an eightytwO
mile street railway system in Los An
geles Any doubt that might have eX
listed is dispelled by the discovery Of
the holding OF a midnight meeting OF
the quartette Of men who cepentcd
the bond between the Southern Pacific
and Mr. Garland, who acts as general
attorney for the franchise applicants.
This meeting was held at the Office Of
Attorney Clarence Miller, in the Bry-
son block, and those present were w.
E. Herrin. general counsel for the
Southern Pacific; Walter P. Parker,
political agent for that company; Wm.
NJ, Garland and Attorney Clarence
Miller. At this meeting was born the
plan which seems destined to wreck
the policy Of the transportation fam
lily and which has already caused
Henry e. Huntington to, sever tofHclat
relations with the Southern Pacific
company. x..sa
Mr. Huntington has been for Tong
time a director and vice president Of
the Southeri. Pacific, but the attack
of the corporation upon his interests.
makes it impossible for him to con-
tinue If he has not already resigned,
he will do so. This news comes from
headquarters 1t marks an episode OF
national Importance in railroading, the
passing of the successor of c. P. Hunt
ington, one of the founders Of the
corporation, from the board. s..
