Gastonia On. c. Gazette.
The Statesville Landmark refers to
the pluck Of a boy II years old and OF
man twice that age who recently
buckled down to books at Bu!e's Creek
academy without knowing how to read.
The boy didn't know his letters. the
man began in the first reader. Yes.
that is plucky in a. sense. Not that
the task is so great, but that the
nerve to get ones consent to undertake
it at those ages is so rare. But 1t
ought not to oe rare. The task is not
great. not difficult Of accomplishment.
Little children who live with books
and picture blocks learn to read be-
fore they are six years OF age, learn
without special teaching: with some
direct and regular instruction they
would learn sooner. We do not believe
that there is in the State an illiterate
grown man Of ordinary intelligence
and industry that could not learn to
read in six weeks, write in ten weeks.
and get a good beginning in arithmetic
in few more weeks, If he would only
give these things attention and reg
ular study Why hasn't somebody
started a school for grown men who
cannot read and write? The gap be-
tween the man. who cannot read and
the man who can-how great and how
wide it is. What storehouses Of rich
ness and vast and fertile fields are
shut away from him who cannot read.
Beyond the Alps lies Italy-and the
Alps in this case are not impossible.
The gap is wide but not difficult to
him who tries, and the prize is 50
worth the winning! The man who
cannot thinks the way is hard: the
man who car knows it Is not The
crown man who cannot read and write
somebody show him, somebody. help
him Here's missionary work for one,
and priceless happiness for two.

SPECTATORS IN TROUBLE.
Have Been Starting War RaInors in
italy for Money Purposes.

Rome, Feb. 2i.-Runors Of waruke
preparations by Italy having been cir
culated a serni-ofncial communication
has enanated from the government
which is in substance as follows:
Stories of alleged armaments and OF
the movements Of warships and troops
for service abroad are entirely false.
Indications exist that this false news
is connected. with stock exchange
speculations and those responsible
have been brought before the law
courts to be punished according to law
with Imprisonment Of from three to
thirty months.
The communication evidently alludes
to the insistence by a portion Of the
press that Italy will be antagonistlc to
Austria in the Balkans and to the
predictions of international conplica-
tions thus causing a fall in italian
bends and rise in the exchange on
gold.

POLITICAL
Prohibition CAB 81 Ennis EadoFSeS Can
diaaie for Legislature.

The announcement coming from
Ennis that the prohibition club at
that city had decided to put candi-
date in the field for the Legislature
has created but little interest in the
local political situation. II the
candidate receives only the support
of rrohibitionists as party the sue
cess Of the two democratic nominees
ia the November election Is prac-
tically assured. Under the census
of 1900 the new apportionment gave
Ellis county two Representatives in
the legislature, and these places are
now filled by Hon. J. B. Hemphill
OF Avalon and Hon. j. NJ. Alderdice
of Waxahachie, both of whom are
candidates for reelection. Until
the prohibitionists gave it out that
they would have a candidate In the
field the above named gentle
men had only one opponent in the
person of Attorney Il. F. James Of
this city.
The prohibition club at Ennis held
q meeting one afternoon in the early
part of the week for the purpose of
discussing the advisabIlity of putting
"A candidate In the field. The meet
ing was addressed by t. T.. Hogge,
a farmer living a few miles east OF
Ennis, and who was formerly pre-
cinot chairman in the populist party.
Al the conclusion Of Mr.. Hogge's
address be was unanimously en-
dorsed by the club as suitable Iegls-
lative material, 1t Is understood
that the campaign slogan will be OPP

Following the endorsement of Mr..

issued n call for precinct conventions

purpose Of instructing for Mr..

and after nominations have been
made the contest among legislative
candidates may warm up little.

WHISKEY SELLER FINED
Gus BrookS Pleads Guilty 10 Violating
Local Opfioa Law.

Gus Brooks of Ennis appeared be-
fore County Judge Hawkins this
morning and entered pleas Of guilty
to two indictments for violating the
local option law and one for selling
to q minor. In each of the first two
cases he was fined S25 and sentenc-
ed to twenty days In jail and in the
last charge fine of $25 was imposed
against him. The total fines and
costs will amount to about $50,
which will be worked out on the
county farm. Three more cases for
violating the local option law are
pending against the defendant.
Brooks was formerly connected
with Ike Cox in conducting a cold
storage Mt Ennis and the indict-
ments against him grew out Of sales
of whiskey he is alleged to have
made in violation of the local option
law. Cox was indicted on several
counts and 10 now serving term on
the county farm. Complaints were
also filed against Cox and Brooks,
charging them with violating the
Internal revenue law. Brooks was
arrested at Shreveport last fall by
United States marshal and
brought TO Dallas, where he APP
peared before the Federal court and
entered a plea Of guilty. He was
fined and given a short sentence in
Jail, which fine and sentence having
been satisfied he was turned over to
the sheriff of Ellis county.
