A Stimulus to Young Men.

EIklnS Times.
Twenty years ago there was a young
man, the son of a widow, living in
Yadkin county who was struggling
courageously against adverse circum-
stances to obtain an education. He
was not born in the lap of luxury and
| wealth, consequently he had nothing
| to rely upon but his own indomitable
determination to win. He perhaps
| did not realize then, but no doubt does
now that his thirst for learning back
| ed by his invincible will-power was
of far greater value to him than gold.
Money at this time in his life would
| have dwarfed his energies by prevent
| ing that vigorous exercise of them
which is absolutely necessary to their
strong and healthy development.
About twenty years ago he entered
| the Peabody School at Nashville,
Tenn. After completing the course
| there and teaching a year or two he
entered the State University at Chapel
Hill.
After graduating from the Univer-
| Sity and again teaching for a few years
| he went to Harvard University where
| he took special courses. At the end OF
| his first years work he was made
tutor in the college. While perform
| ing his duties as tutor he continued
L
years ago when he was chosen to a
professorship in the oldest and great
est college in America. From August
| 18th to September 18th he will be in
charge of the Harvard University
| Summer Course in Geological Field
| work in Colorado, New Mexico, Ari-
IONA and California. Yadkin county
| should be proud of the success of this
young man. His success should be an
| inspiration to every boy in the county
| What he has done others may do. But
remember that there is no success
! without effort and the greater the eff
| fort the greater the success
great many covet honors they
never merited; they want the reward
without laboring for It, Commence
at the bottom and pull yourselves
| rung by rung steadily up to the TOP
| of the ladder of fame. If you com
mence at the top (and great many
/ try to do this) there is but one direc-
ton for you to go to the bottom. We
met this young man a few days age
on the train and rode with him g
short distance. We were friends a
score of years ago, we are friends
yet
We predicted bright future foI
| him and our expectations have been
more than realized.
He has won because he had high
aims. He will win other honors be-
cause he has other and higher aims
We do not hope for his future sue
success we expect it, and shall not be
disappointed.

Martins Levy just as Low as Wakes

To the Editor: In one item of your
publication in Sundays News and OBJ
server of the proceedings of the Wake
County Democratic convention, there
is an error.
The resolution of the convention
commencing the Wake county officials
for the most excellent management, is
quite gratifying. But when they say
they have lower rate of taxation
than any other county in the State
we feel that we must just call the
convention to order. (simply for cor
rection) and tell them that Martin
countys levy is just as low as that of
Wake. our total levy being go cents.
No resolutions in Martin. however.

the plan to stampede the ST. Louis

been by no means abandoned, nut is
still cherished by the corporations ana
financiers who found his former SER
vices so acceptable. And both CleVe-
and's attitude and certain develop
ments of a date subsequent 10 his
putting the crown from him tend to
substantiate the theory. that Cleveland
is the real choice of the Wall Street
crowd, and that, assured or It's sup
port, he would accept the nomination
if it were rendered him" and closes
a sensible editorial reviewing the pro-
gram by saying:
"Cleveland's nomination would, OF
course, wreck the party. He would
inevitably be beaten, unless the Re
publicans fiocked to his support, In
any event his nomination would aD-
solutely Republicanize the Demo-
cratic party. But the brethren nave
hunger of eight years standing that
many of them think Cleveland can

LIKES, CAPT. HARRIES
Senator schaIIer Says He's
Ideal Candidate for Governor

There are no politics in my section of
the state" Senator Albert Schaller, of
Dakota county, said yesterday at the
state capitol, where he had called to
consult with Attorney General w. j.
Donahower.
Our people are not taking any great
interest in politics, but the Democrats
would like to see a good man nomi-
mated for governor, and if a proper Sc
lection is made he will get heavy
vote in our county and attract votes
from the Republican candidate. Per-
sonaily, would like to see Capt: Har-
ries, of Caledonia, nominated.
He is man of splendid reputation
and would give dignity TO the office. He
is or the highest type of american Cit
izen, clean, manly and honest. He was
member Of the famous Iron Brigade
in the Civil war and besides having
served a term in congress and also as
collector of internal revenue for Min
nesota, he has just closed a term OF
service as commander of the Mime
sofa Department of the 6. A. r. Capt.
Harries would command a great fol-
lowing throughout the parts OF the
state where he is best known and if he
could be induced to accept the nominal
ton would make an ideal candidate
Senator Schaller said that there was
little: discussion of the congressional
situation in the Third district In Re-
publican circles it seems to be con-
coded that CongyessmansC C. r. Davis,
of ST. Peter. will have he opposition
for the nomination, but shat he will
have very substantial Opposition at
the polls IN November Is promised.

CARS To WHITE BEAR
Lake Village Grants Franchise
to Railway Company

The last barrier in the way of the
street railway company's proposed ex-
tension to White Bear village has been
removed by the franchise granted to
the company by the White Bear Village
council. The franchise is for twenty
live years and was granted after a long
hight in the White Bear council
The street railway company. in ae-
eeptlng the franchise, agrees to have
the extension completed and in opera
ton within one year. and further agrees
TO maintain through service between
White Bear village and St Paul dur
Ing the busy morning and evening
hours of the summer. During other
hours it will be necessary for White
Bear passengers to change at the point
where the White Bear line connects
with the Wildwood line
In the passage +of the franchise the
company wins the point for which it
has been contending, that of 29-cent
fare between. White Bear and St. Paul.
The White Bear villagers have been
holding back for 15-cent fare, and the
night for the lower fare has caused a.
delay of several weeks in securing the
passage of the ordinance. The point
was finally yielded to the company and
the franchise was passed by close
vote.
The board of county commissioners.
at meeting held some weeks ago,
granted the company franchise for
the extension from the wildwood line
TO the village limits Of White Bear.

Donald Grant Discredits Re:

lean Experts ;.

The alarmiSt reports that have been
sent out from the Canadian capitals
regarding the expulsion of American
railway engineers from Canada res
gard as having very little foundation, -
said Donald Grant, the Faribault rail-
road contractor, who was at the.s Mer-
chants hotel yesterday.
The fact is there is employment for
every competent Canadian engineer in
the building of Canadian railroads, but
there is no Disgusting the situation that
5000 miles of new railroad and iapor-
tant changes in the lines of existing
railroads cannot be built with the few
engineers who are citizens of the Cana
dian provinces. The men must be
brought in from outside countries, and
since American engineers lead the
world in railroad building, there can
be no valid objection to employing
them on work which must be done
this year.
The reports of wholesale deporta-
tons are unauestionably inspired by
interested Canadians. Of course, in
the building of railroads subsidized by
the canadian government preference
should be given citizens of Canada,
and l do not think that American con-
tractors will object to this statement
of fact.' -

inspect the line of proposed railroad.

ing at IL o'clock by her daughter
The suicide WAS not discovered ear
her because Mrs Gerlach had not been
IN the habit of taking breakfast and
her absence yesterday morning was not
noticed until near noon, when the con-
tinued silence in her room caused her
daughter to make an investigation.

her mothers door, but received no re-
sponse. She then gained access to the
room by going cut of a window open
ing onto the roof of the porch and go
ing through another window opening
into Mrs. Gerlach's apartment.
-, The aged woman had made every
preparation for ending her life. and
desiring that she might be laid in her
coffin as she was when she died, had
even clasped her hands across her
breast. Beside the body was found the
bottle which had contained the poison
and on a table in the room was a note
