HOW THE LITTLE FELLOW
MAULED THE BIG LUMMAX
Dr. Whitaker Explains That It's All in Knowing How.
How So Many sWhite Chilluns' Go
to Glory.

rising to his feet, stood and looked at
me as if he was sorry for me. Then
he stepped toward me and said, just
as innocently and meel<ly as if moth
ing had happened: Squire git up
and I'll brush the dirt off'n you!',
And he did. No, gentlemen, there's
nothing in size and weight; but
there's a sight in knowing how"
Mr.. Higgins spake a proverb when
he said that In the affairs of life
there is more in knowing how than in
brute force. A thousand Confederate
soldiers under Stonewall jackson
could have put to fight the. great
army OF Xerxes, because they knew
how.
In the many departments of bust
ness, men and women are failing be-
cause they don't know how Brute
force is all right in a bull fight, when
the animals are evenly matched; but
thel cowboy who knows how to throw
a lasso can, with apparent ease, soon
subdue whole pen full of the fiercest
and strongest animals, and call it
pasttime. That's because he knows
how.
And SO, in business, men depending
solely on physical force; or, what
amounts to the same thing-on the
notions and opinions of other days.
before science had unlocked her store
house of inventions, and experience
had demonstrated the superiority of
intelligence over ignorance, are hav-
ing a hard time of it; while those
who spend half their time in learning
! how are prospecting on less than half
the labor their fathers had to do to
make u living.
My father owned a negro when
was a boy, who furnishes me a fine
illustration. He didn't have a particle
of ingenuity, but did things by main
force. If he We're chopping cotton
and flint rock lay where he was to
strike the next blow, instead of gent
ly removing the rock with his hoe,
and then chopping, he would throw
all his strength into that blow, as if
he expected to annihilate the stone.
OF course he battered the hoe. Then,
he would take the flint rock and spend
half an hour trying to ''whet his
hoe My recollection is that he spent
at least half his time whetting his
hoe.
Some people are doing things that
are equally absurd; they begin with
out knowing how; and being too full
. of their old-time moss covered ways
to learn anything, they try to capture
the bull by swinging to his tail instead
of throwing the lasso over his horns !;
and try to split the rock instead of
| removing it and getting it, once for
all, out of the way.
But, who can learn everything che
ought to know beforehand? Some
things have to be learned by ex-
perience, as for instance, how to man
age children. Theory will do well
enough for those people who have no
children to raise-in fact / never saw
| a chlldleSS man or woman who did
| not know how children should he

! children, it is quite a different affair.

ping about the baby she had in
charge, started her carriage and re-
peated to herself as she moved along:
None of de white chillun dat called
me nanny amt gone to glory yit,
bless de Lawd."
AS it's a right smart trouble to
nurse babies and to look after the
little boys and girls when they are old
and large enough to begin to walk
would it not be a good thing for the
little innocents to establish public
nurseries and place all the babies
there to remain until they are old
enough to begin school; then turn
them back to their parents? / am,
by no means, the advocate of such
measure, but ask the question by way
of q suggestion.
For society ladies who are con-
strained to leave home TO attend card
parties, club meetings, ETC., it would,
indeed, be a great relief if the little
troubles were thus taken off their
hands. They could afford to play a
few more games, make few more
speeches and remain out until the
shadows deepened into darkness, ana
feel no concern about the babies.
And it might be a relief to the Ia
boring women who, because their
husbands don't know how, or are too
lazy to make a living, have to take in
work or so out to find work, if they
could be relieved of the worry and
anxiety of their children.
At any rate, m clearly of the opin-
ion from what | have seen, more
children would be raised in the nur-
sery than by that class of nurses the
| old colored nanny described.
This is no pet scheme of mine, but,
| if the Governor should recommend ii
! in his next message to the General
! Assembly, and the suggestion should
materalze, / don't want the public
to forget that / suggested the sug-

I remember hearing Mr.. owen
Higgins. then a member Of the Leg
islature from Onslow county, forty
five years ago, tell how he was de-
ceived by appearances. Mr.. Higgins
was a two-hundred-p FOUNDER, and
looked as if he possessed the strength
of a Hercules. Something was said
in his presence about fighting; of this
mans and that mans strength and
weight, when Mr.. Higgins said, in
an excited manner: Gentlemen.
there's nothing in size and weight,
for 1 have both, as you see: yet l got
a whipping once I've always been
ashamed Of from a little tallow-
faced, weaZly-loolzing fellow, who
didn't look like he could pull a chick
ems head off. He was my shoe
maker--made shoes for my negroes.
One day he made me mad and L de-
ter,nined to thrash him, il he was
white man. 1 told him to go down
into the woods, my COW pasture, take
off his coat and get ready for a fog
ging. He went off looking SO cast
down, / felt sorry for him; but I'd
told him / was going to whip him
and to keep my word, it had to be
done. / watched him until he reach
ed the woods; and, when | saw the
poor little fellow pull off his coat and
hang it on a bush, my conscience
chided me for becoming offended with
such a pitiful object; and l was al
most inclined to call him back and
forgive him. But / thought to do
that might be making bad prece-
dent which, in the future, would
give me trouble; SO I finally decided
I had better whip him, though
wouldn't hurt him very much-just
whip him enough to. let him know
his place.
when I reached the woods there
the poor fellow stood with his coat
off ready to take his whipping. l cut
a moderate-sized switch, as I went
along, and when 1 got near him, l
said: 'I'm sorry to have to whip
you; but, as you have offended me,
and don't seemed disposed to beg my
pardon, nor even apologize, it's my
duty to teach you how to pay proper
respect to a gentleman" By that
time 1 was within my length OF him.
with my switch uplifted to cut him
across the shoulders. 1 don't know
how it was done, but before the
switch descended he bowed himself
like a bucking mule and came at me
like a hornet: went right between
my legs and knocked my feet from
under me. l fell full length; and by
the time / hit the ground, face fore
most he lit on my head and was
clawing my face worse than a wild
cat. In trying to rise 1 turned over
on my back. but the rascal turned
too and was still on top, punching.
gouging, scratching and biting so
dared not open my eyes. l was whip
ped and badly whipped, but the ras-
cal didn't seem to know it, for he
kept on biting and scratching, as if
he intended to tear me to pieces and
eat me up. 1 hated to cry out for
help, but I would have given the
worth of the best negro had to have
had some one come and pull him off.
All of a sudden he sprang off, and

Court Adiourns.

The fall term of Chancery
Court was adjourned at 10 o'clock
Friday morning by Judge ]. F.
McCool, with a great deal of un-
finished business on the docket.
This is the third term of court
that Judge McCool has presided
over in this county and to say
that they have been unsatisfac-
tory is only putting it mildly.
The Judge is appointed by the
Governor of the State to attend
to the various differences between
the people and he should do it,

court after three or four days
with lot of unfinished business,
thereby inconveniencing the bar

James Boys Coming

'sThe James Boys in Missouri,
which will be seen in this city
Wednesday, Oct. 12, is the best
drawing attraction of its kind on
the road this year, and has met
with unbounded success where
ever presented. This company
carries eight sticks Of its own
scenery and presents some of the
most wonderful stage effects ever
produced on a stage. The famous
Blue Cut train robbery is staged
with accuracy in every detail, a
full train of cars being shown on
the stage with the famous outlaws
in the act of looting the express
car. The play is altogether moral
and abounds in climaxes most
thrilling. Massive and marvellous
stage pictures together with a
series of most thrilling and
startling incidents interviewer
with a pretty love story and some
delicate bits of comedy go TO
make up the great melodrama,
and the theatre going people are
assured of one of the best pro
ductions ever put on at the local
play house.

wanders from place to place in

more contented man than the
"Billy" Camp who once gave a
dinner at the Auditorium for
thirty friends at a net cost of
$1,000. AT another time he is
said TO have thrown down four
aces in poker game rather
than win a thousand dollars from

fellowship undoubtedly gave him
pleasure for he is far more con-

making a living for himself and
wife in the sale of cigarettes.
And yet does it pay to be a
good fellow? Ask "Billy'' Camp.
