Pertinent.

Charles u. was altogether In "a.
vor of extempore preaching. On one
occasion he asked the famous Still
ingfeet how it was that he always
read his sermons before him, when
he was informed that he always
preached without a book elsewhere.
Stillingfeet answered something
about the awe of so noble a congre-
cation, the presence of SO great and
wise a prince, with which the king
himself was very well contented.
'tBut pray" continued Stillingfeet,
will your majesty give me leave to
ask you a question? Why do you
read your speeches when you can
have none of the same reasons ?"
'FWhy, truly, DOCTOR" replied the
king, "your question is a very per
tinent one and so will be my answer
/ have asked the two houses so often
and for so much money that l am
ashamed to look them in the face"

Causes of Nervousness.

There are FIVE causes of nerv-
BUSINESS, says Human Culture,
namely:
(a) Low vitality of the nervous
system.
(b) The faculties of self-mastery
becoming weak.
(c) Loss Of sleep.
CD The use of improper fopds
and drinks.
(e) Association with cratic, ex-
citable, nervous, idiotic, insane,
cynical and pessimistic people.
When the 1ife-force is constantly
leaving the body at the finger tips,
at the feet, through the eyes, at
the knees, at the hands and at the
elbows, q person becomes nervous.
Indeed, unless a person develops
his faculties of self-mastery, unless
he increases vitality of the nervous
system, unless he gets the sleep
which is necessary each and every
day, unless he eats the right kind
of food and drinks the right kind
of drinks, and unless he associates
with the right kind of people, he
will become more nervous; lastly,
he will become a physical and men,
tai wreck, he will become old-look-
ing and haggard; he will die before
his time.

The widow and ten children were

When asked for particulars the
widow took pencil and paper and
prepared the following note for the
press:
Please do not say that the fam

For years he has been husband and

The Spirit of Kindness.

Sooths Ike night wind on a
bank of flowers, or like a flute at
evening, famed by zephyrs over
the hills and peaceful valleys. or
like a mother grooming to her
sleepy babe. So many hearts are
hungry. So many are desolate, so
many lives are weak end weary
and heavy laden, that those who
have sunshine and hope and love
in their hearts, may well speak
the kind word or do the gentle act
that wiz touch ard bless such
d sconsolate ones. It may be a

A gentleman who was travelling
from the north had occasion to stop
at a country village some fifty miles
from London. Having few hours
to spare he went around inspecting
the places Of interest in the neigh

away. About midday the ben of
the village church began tolling.
His curiosity being aroused, he stop
ped a boy who happened to be pass

ARE DEMOCRATS AGAINST THE
TRUsTSf

During the last campaign the
Democratic leaders In both Stale
and nation yelled themselves black
In the face telling how damnable
the trusts were and what they
would do for them If they were
elected. Judge Parker in his
speech and letters during the CAIN
paign said that the trusts were the
worst evils of to-day, and should be
dealt with by the common law; that
each State should hold them In
check. With this as one Of the
main arguments the Democrats
were elected In this State last No
vember. When they got to the legis.
Iature how did they fulfill these
promises they had made to the
voters? Why, like they usually do,
by utterly ignoring them. There
was not single law passed against
a trust doing business in North
Carolina. Every bill introduced
that would have effected them even
in a small way was promptly killed.
The legislature kept busy, talking
Temperance, while many Of them
were drinking whiskey, and finally
wound up by passing the Ward bill,
which is very favorable to the
whiskey trust. Will the people
believe these Democratic leaders
when they begin cursing the trusts
in the next campaign? We can't be-
lieve that the majority Of the voters
are willing to be fooled again.

Blind Tiger Operator Arrests Competito,
GOldsboro, N. c., March 49,
The blind tigers, or at least few OF
them, got into trouble yesterday
A white man arrested a negro him
self on the charge Of selling whiskey.
The white man deputized negro to
help him and they brought their
prisoner up the street from Little
Washington. When they arrived
up town an officer arrested all three
of the men. A short investigation
caused~a warrant to be issued for
the white man. An examination
Of his premises revealed the fact
that he had quantity Of whiskey
on hand in jugs and bottles in his
sleeping departments. The negro
whom he arrested without au-
thority was also proven guilty of
tho charge Of conducting a blind
tiger. Competition in business is
thought to be the reason why the
man constituted himself protector
of the peace and had the negro ar
rested.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

Many of the citizens Of Raleigh
are discussing the advisability of
the city owning its water supply.
The charter of the Wake Water
Company, which supplies the city
with water, will expire in Novem-
Der. There Is provision in the
charter that the city can buy out
the company at an equitable price If
it sees proper to do SO. We hope
the city fathers will see it proper to
buy out the Wake Water Go. and give
the citizens Of Raleigh a better, as
we'll as cheaper service. Notwith-
standing one Mr.. / ridgeis, from
Henderson, in comm unication to
the News and Observer Gays: "The
towns that do not own their water
and light plants have lower tax
rate than those that do own them,
with hardly an exception" This
court reverses that decision. We
know of no place in North Carolina
where taxes are higher than they are
in Raleigh. Poll tax alone is nearly
IS, with water rent, electric lights,
ETC., proportionately high. About
the averate price for water in Raj
eigh is $27 per year, with "wiggle-
tails" thrown in. In Washington
City the water rent, light bills, etc.,
are only about one-half what they
are in Raleigh, and there the water
supply is owned and operated by
the Government. Do you see the
difference?

We may be little thick headed,
yet we fail to see that this or the

that will actually further the cause

either before, and it is no more
easy to catch violators of the law
