GENEROUS RAIN FINALLY CAME
Drought of a Months Duration Now
Broken.

Broken.
Rain came yesterday as blessed re-
lief, breaking the drought and wither
ing heat of a month. All day the wei :
come showers fell and every body re-
j0iced thereat. The heat here during
September has been the most intense
ever known at this season of the year
and no little suff ring has resulted
Vegetation has been wellnigh killed
and gardens destroyed by drought.
Rain even now, however, will revive
crops to some extent, to say nothing of
the relief afforded suff ,ring humanity.
Yesterdays ratn was not attended by
windstorm or gale of any kind, and
thus does no great injury to open t.
ton in the field.

BOYS IN FATAL QUARREL |
Thirteen-Year-Old Boy Shot and Killed l7-Year Old Boy
 Thursday Evening.

Reports from Newport say that Calvin Sanders, the 13-year-o old step-son of John Connolly, shot and killed Ottman Maddox, aged r, near the home of Samuel An thony on the Island about mile and half below Newport Thurs day evening of last week. Sheriff Simmons went at once to the scene of the shotting, where he found Sanders in tears over the killing of Maddox. He took the boy to his home to await the verdict of the coroner's jury, which merely found that Maddox came to his death by gunshot wound at the hands of Calvin Sanders.
 Sanders was hunting squirrels in Anthony's pasture with a boy friend and was returning home when Maddox IS said to have run out upon him from a hay rick. The younger boy tried to back away, threatening to shoot, and the Maddox lad threatening to take away his gun and break 1t over bis head. Sanders finally discharged the single barrel at his antagonist, the whole load passing through Maddox's right chest and killing him instantly.
 Young Sanders was given hearing Friday morning before Justice Guy Smith, and, the eyi, dence showing that the boy had shot in self-defense, he was dis charged by the court and allowed to return to his home.

WHEN MAN is POOR.

The following sparkling gem or truth from an exchange is passing the rounds of the press. It con- cerns us all because so many of US are poor A man is poor when he has lost the confidence of his friends; when people who are near to him do not believe in him; when people think his charity is honey combed by deceit and punctured by dishonesty, when he makes money at the expense of his char acter; when principles do not stand clear cut, supreme in his idea. When this is cIouded, he is in danger of the worst poverty. If you have plaintained your integ- rity, if your character stauds four square to the world; if you have never bent the knee of principal to ayarice: you are not poor, ai- though you may be compelled to beg bread.

Learn this one thing, learn it early in life and learn 1t well, that the man who does not believe as you do is not always a fool. The fact that you hold views not in ac- cord with your neighbor is not proof positive that you are right, and he is wrong, nor is 1t any evil

WAY ID ATTAIN SUCCESS
Success is Never Attained by tiins Who Squanders lis Time
 in likeness,

Every young boy expects t0 make of his life a success, whether 1t IS 6 good or a bad life. He does. not realize that a life of successful crime is not successful life. If q boy wants a successful life he must work. Time Is life as we'll as money. Many q young man would like to rise to a position of prominence in the world, but he Is not willing to pay the price of the study and labor necessary. Sue cess IS not won in a day, neither is 1t found on fowery beds of ease; a wreath of flowers was never woven by hands that never toil nor for a brow that never ached. Whatever be your occupation in life, one must be industrious, pru- dent and economical and you need 9ot fear the results. Nobody can afford to make failure of his life his own comfort and that of his friends demands of him to make & success of his life. There is no ex- cellence without labor, and indus try is duty he owes to himself,  his friends and his country.
 The young man who would rise in the world must not only study and bend his every energy at some useful labor, but he must be truth ful, honest and sober, and speak ing upon this last requisite to suc- cess, an exchange has the follow ing to say:
 The boy who would succeed should never become even the moderate drinker; what a danger ous man he IS to society and to himself. Look upon some young boy as he turns into the saloon be- fore leaving for his home. See him as he turns out at midnight, dazed, maddened and often ready for any crime. Let not this cry of anguish be your parents My son, My son. Would that God I could have died for you Within the breast of thousands of these boy dram drinkers, who now stand we'll in society, there slumbers vol canoes which will be active some day; and cause them to do acts the consequence of which can never be undone. 1t is certain a man can not long violate the laws of right living and go unpunished. Choose something honorable in life and make room for the high thought and study and the many great op- portunities spread out by nature for humanity to build upon. The wheels of time roll over the slug gard and crush him while he sleeps; but the sober, industrious and honest young man eventually climbs the ladder to success.

dence that your neighbor is insin- cere. If this were not true then all the smart men would belong to one party and all good men to one church. And if they all belonged to one party and one church they'd break up both party and church.

CHIPS FROrl CORD.
(Too late for last week ]

l rain for farming.
 There was a large attendance at the school meeting in District No. IS.
 Sunday school, both at Hope we'll and Oakridge is progressing nicely.
 J. L. Mcdaniel and k. H. Me Daniel made flying trip to New port last Monday.
 The people about Oakridge are making arrangements for Child ren's Day the fourth Sunday in June. Let us all encourage this kind of work.
 Some farmers about Cord are predicting that they should buy some moving machines and hay presses. Guess they are going in- to the hay presses.
 We must struggle out of the treaeherous boggs of policy and get back to the solid ground Of principle, , declares a politician. For mercy sake if you wanted to say something big, why didn t you say elephant.
 We noticed in last weeks issue of the BatesvilIe Guard the writer of Cord news is wondering if Prof, J. L. Mcdaniel and Luther Mel ton rides horses with weak eyes or do they really enjoy riding with a blind bridle. J. L. Mcdaniel and Luther Melton say the writer is .weak-eyed or not very close ob- server else he could tell blind horse from blind bridle.
 In my observation 1 see that a great many parents fail to dis charge their duty as parent. They should take the very best pains possible in teaching and training the child not only in liter ary learning but in true principles and morals. It should be their highest ambition above all to live up to such principles that would be the best examples of good mor- i als foF their children to follow, ,and also to improve upon these morals as far as possible 1t would be we'll to furnish all the good litera- ture possible for the child to read at leisure times. Let them read aad ponder over the good works that have been handed down from time to time. Don't allow those outrageous, blood-curdling story papers and books to fall into their ] hands. 1 believe that the bright prospects of many youths has been 0lighted by this kind of literature. 1 As they read and ponder over them until they decide in their minds that they can perform just such daring and bIood-curdling deeds, and this is the reason why II believe that such literature should be denied them. Furnish them all the good literature possi- ble. Don't be afraid to spend a few dollars for good books, for it may lead the child to the highest and noble.t life possible.
 For an illustration; if a person has fine young horse to break he will take the best pains possible to fit the harness nicely and smooth ly and substantially, so that the animal may submit to his control. If this be the case with D horse. what should he do for his child
 The lack of this interest is often l seen in our churches and schools.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

There is only one way to cure deafness

Deafness is caused by an infamed con-

infamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing and when it is entire
ly closed, deafness is the result and un-
less the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
