Origin of the FircGies rs the Tale
Is Prettily Related in ia
paneSe Folklore.

Once upon a time, many centuries ago,
a woodchopper, returning ct dusk from
his long days labor, saw, as be passed
through the forest, a soft shining light
On a bamboo branch.
Surprised, he FASTENED toward it, and
found there a tiny baby girl. surrounded
by a radiance like moonlight.
Now. this woodchopper and his wife
were often sad because they hid no Iit-
tie u Of their own, and the baby wa
carried to their humble home. where
you may be sure she had the most loving
attention.
She grew rapidly, and the light that
the woodchopper had seen around her
when he found her in the forest grow
brighter, until at night the whole OF
tage was filled with its glow.
It ever shoue through the paper
screens that formed three Of the opposite
walls of the cottage-for all this hap
pened in Japan. where the houses are
made Of bamboo and paper screens.
People called the little girl by the
pretty name of Princess Moonlight, for,
as they saw the light about her increase,
they knew that she must be a moon
child.
The woodchopper and his wife felt
very sad. They knew that it was not
often that a moon child came to the
earth, and that when n did it was
Obliged to go back to Mother Noon when
90 years old.
Yeas passed, and Princess Moonlight,
now a lovely young woman, sat on the
| veranda ole dark night, shedding a soft
light all about her.
II happened that that very night the
emperor ard his courtiers were return
ing from a days sport in the forest.
| Afar off they saw what seemed like
moonlight. ard, filled with wonder, they
! went to see what it could be, for the
| moon would not be up for several hours.
When the emperor beheld the beauti-
| full maiden IN the midst Of the light he
fell in love with her at once. ard begged
her to be his wife. But. alas! thoughth
princess loved him dearly, she knew that
she never could be his queen, AID that in
three days she must leave the earth
forever.
The emperor was filled with grief when
she explained to him that she was a
moon child, and he sent his courtiers
home; but he stayed with the princess.

hour, knowing how con he must part
from her forever.

and Mother Moon sen down her moon

about her, and, though he held her firm

him. Up, she floated, her tears falling

NEW HBNOVER's GOOD EXAMPLE

In Wilmington there was a general IN
crease in the assessment of the property,
but it was not SO large as in Raleigh.
However the County Commissioners of
New Hanover, at their meeting this week
passed the following resolution:
Whereas, The amount of taxes to be
collected on basis of the total tax levy
of SO 2-3 cents as made June list will be
in excess of the financial needs of the
county.
1T is hereby ordered that the sheriff
Of the county deduct from the county
taxes as computed under the above levy
Is per cent of the amount of taxes charged
against each tax payer for county pur-
poses.
1T is further ordered that the clerk Of
this board add the foregoing order as an
amendment to the order heretofore made
by him directing the sheriff of this coun-
ty to collect the taxes charged upon tax
books for 1903 and turned over to said
sheriff by this board"
There was no suggestion there of cut
ting down the sacred fund for the educa-
ton of the children. The commissioners
know that the increasing needs of the
schools will call for every dollar that the
rate for schools will raise. The school
teachers, most of them teaching on small
salaries, ought not to be the first to
suffer.
We commend the example Of the New
Hanover board to the Wake board. Let
the economy be practised in other places.
The schools are not under the control Of
the commissioners Let them do a little
county.

1.-The shadows murmur
While the deepS are dumb
The newspaper correspondent, who
spends a few weeks in the South, is sure
to go back home and write a final solu-
ton. Within a few weeks he is surprised
that everybody hasn't accepted his plans.
Years after, when he knows more about
it, the correspondent in his old age reads
his remedy and wonders how he could
ever nave supposed he was green enough
to propose it.
One of the most accomplished of the
newspaper correspondents who has visited
the South in recent years is Mr.. Raymond
Patterson, the Washington correspondent
of the Chicago Tribune. He seemed in
his first letters to have a bias against
Southern sentiment, but later he seems
to have tried not to be guided by it. He
visited Louisiana and other Southern
States and studied conditions with the
desire to learn the true status, and has
written a series of very readable letters.
In his concluding letter he sums up his
remedy for existing conditions as follows:
Deprive the negro of his commanding
position as the sole labor supply of the
South.
Introduce white labor to relieve the
congestion, develop Southern industries
and civilize the negro by association.
t encourage white immigration to the
South, dignity the condition of labor by
elevatlng the condition of the negro.
Put a little black schoolhouse within
sound OF every plantation bell.
Educate the negro at the expense of
the whole nation.
Stop public negro education with the
grammar school and let all higher educa-
ton be at private expense.
plant industrial schools of the Tuskegee
and Hampton type in every black county
of the South.
keep the negro out of politics in the
South until the average of the race is at
least equal to that Of the European i'm
migrant Of today.
d. this by any means satisfactory to
the ro~ugh-and-ready Anglo-Saxon mind
and patch up the Constitution afterward.
Lynch no negro for anything except
crimes against women, and then be sure
you have the right negro.

makes weak hearts strong. Read this:
"During the spring of 1900 was very sick
and doctors stated that my case was one of
palpitaton of the heart. One day read in
one Of the DR.. Miles advertisements Of a
case similar to mine and concluded to try
your Heart Cure. After taking four bottles
felt that had been made into a new per-
son. Before l. began the use of the Heart
Cure there was night after night l scarcely

and my throat would seem so dry l felt
there was no way l could ever quench my
thirst. l had severe attacks of nervousness
and faint spells and in walking on the street
l would often be compelled to stop for fear
OF my weakness overcoming me. On the
advice of your medical staff I used Restora-
