Two Deaths Near JOneSviIIe.

James Carlisle Gore, son of Mr..
Thomas H. Gore, died last Satur-
day afternoon at 4.2O o'clock at his
home in Jonesville. Jimmy had
suffered for long time. He was
bright, good boy, a member of
the Methodist church. The body
was taken to Padgets Creek ceme-
terry for interment and laid to rest
beside the grave of his mother.
Six hours later Mrs J. w. Scott,
mother OF the present Mrs. Thos.
II: Gore, died at her home two
miles southwest of Jonesvillc. She
was buried the next day in the
New Hope grave yard, her pastor,
Rev. Camak, conducted the services.
Mrs. Scott had for long time been
a sufferer and her lingering illness
was relieved by death. She was a
lovely Christian woman. She is
survived by husband and several
children, all of whom have the pro-
found sympathy of many friends.

The Low Wage of Teachers.

Within recent years school-tcach-
crs have been making n concerted
effort for larger salaries. They
maintain that they are underpaid.
In proof they say, in a report made
to the National Educational Associa-
tion at its recent annual meeting,
that only in the cities of Chicago,
Washington, Columbus in Georgia,
and Meridian in Mississippi, is the
minimum salary of the teachers as
large as the pay of the strect-swecp-
crS.
In New Haven there is the great
est difference, as the teachers of
that city who are paid at the lowest
rate receive only three hundred
dollars year, whereas the street.
cleaners receive five hundred and
thirty. In the country the district
school-teacher gets from two to
seven dollars a week, and in the
| same communities at least a dollar
| a day is paid for unskilled labor.
The rule, therefore, that unskilled
manual labor is paid higher than
trained mental labor in the schools
seems to prevail throughout the
1~whole United States.
Teaching ought to be made al
neutrality-suspicious.. 1t does at
tract many high-mindcd men anc
women, who hesitate to complain
of their small salaries. They know
that the cost of living is greater
than twenty years ago, because, il
| for no other reason, social organiza
ton is more complex, and the.
know from experience that salaries
have not been raised to correspond
The lawyer gets larger fees and tn
mechanic gets higher wages, bu
the teacher and the preacher, as
rule, arc working for no more thar
was paid a generation ago.
Each community must settle it
own problem, but the wise citizen
in each known that money investe,
in securing the services of broad
rH,inded and wcll-trained teacher
run than wtbiceS returns in the Ion
other public demand. -YoUTR

Feminine Travellers.

Travel is great revcalcr of femi.
nine character. The man on board
train or steamer is scarcely different
from the man at home. But the
woman has all her traits empha-
sized and exaggerated.
Women who travel may be
roughly divided into two classes -
the women who stiffen under the
experience, and those who relax
On Journey women of one class
, repel the most friendly remark as
II it were an insult, sit on the edge
OF their seat, prepared for the most
unlikely accident, regard the Of
flclals as their sworn foes, and look
upon the kindcst of sympathetic
women as a past mistress in the
art OF pocket-picking or of mislead-
ing less experienced travellers.
The other class discard the con-
ventionalitics of society as they step
on board any moving vehicle.
Gloves, coat, hat are removed as a
matter OF course. Shoes have been
hiio"ii W lolloW, even IN the case
OF highly respectable school
ma'am." Conversation is easy
with these comfort loving travellers.
The smallest pretext suffices for
making friends with conductor or
captain. A new pleasure is found
IN confding family affairs to some
body who doesn't know who I
am" A secret is shared as gaily
as luncheon. A love affair and a
smuggling scheme are equally food
for talk.
The thoroughbred woman, of
course, belongs to neither of these
classes. Wherever she is she is
herself-and a wcll-poiscd, sympa-
thetic, dignifed, genial, high
minded traveller she makes. After
the stiff woman and the limp
woman, one comes with refresh
ment to the simple lady-to whom |
parlor, kitchen, car and cabin are |
like in their demand for self-con- |
,rol and human scrvice.-YoUTH's |

GOOkedneSS in the GreenvilIe
County Supervisors
Office.

After such warm time as Green
vile had in the election of a county
supervisor it has been discovered
that Mr.. Speegle has been drawing
money from the county upon bogus
checks. The other members of the
board say that they did not exam
inc the checks presented to them
for their signature. Young Speegle
was the clerk and the board thought
that the checks were alright with
out question. Young Speegle has
been arrested and gave bond. His
father, the supervisor, is said to be
very sick at Hendersonvillc, N. C.
Each days investigation by the
committee reveals graft on the part
OF the Speegles and it seems that
they have been engaged for some
time in a systematic robbery of the
county.

JOneSville JOffindS.

Joncsvillc, July "a, 19O5.-Last
Saturday evening at 4.2O James
Carlisle Gore, son of Mr.. Thos. H.
Gore, died after several weeks ill.,
ness. Jimmy, as he was called,
was a good boy of nearly seventeen
years of age but he was not well de-
vclopcd because he was not a
healthy boy. He had suffered much
during his short life, principally
with rheumatism, but his suffcrings
are over and he is at rest for all
eternity. He was member of the
Methodist church and Sunday
School and a faithful attendant
when his health would permit. His
remains were carried to Padgcts
Creek and laid by the side of his
mother. Just six hours after Jim
my Gore breathcd his last Mrs. J.
W. Scott passed away at her home
two miles from Joncsvillc after a
long illness of consumption of the
throat. These two deaths are De-
culiarly sad from the fact that they
are so closely associated together,
Mrs. Gore being the stcpmother of
one OF the deceased and the dauph
ter Of the other one. Both of the
dead were buried yesterday evening
at about the same hour, one at New
Hope and the other at Padgets
Creek, twenty-five miles apart.
Mrs. Scott was about fifty-ninc
years OF age, was the mother of ten
children eight of whom lived to
manhood and womanhood and six
OF whom arc still living, two sons
and four daughters, and they all
live to call her blessed. Mrs.
Scott was the daughter of Willie
Ward who lived and died on Rocky
Creek. She was happily married
to MIR. j. W. Scott in November,
1866, and from that happy event
till the day of her death theirs was
happy and pleasant life. Mrs.
Scott was member of the Metho-
dist church most of her life and She
adorned the doctrine of her church
and lived consistant life full of
religion and good works. Her hus-
band and children all have the
sympathy of their many friends in
their sad bereavement. The funeral
services were conducted by her
pastor, Rev. ID. +. Camak, assisted
by Rev. A. G. CAN'T. A large
number of loved ones and friends
attended the funeral and many were
the floral tributes at the grave.
The meeting is still going on at
the Baptist church with good re-
suits. Over twenty persons have
applied for church membership and I
great many more are penitents
