How 70 Preserye Bric-a-brac.

Delicate pieces of bric-a-brac are of
ten broken by upsctting them with a
d;,st cloth or by accidentally touching
them when reaching for something
else on the same shelf. Prevent this
by weighting down every vase or jar
that is not heavy in itself with sand
or small shot. 1t will not require Il
great deal in each piece and will often
save one from being broken in conse-
quence of some slight jar. You will find
this especially useful where there are
small children who have not been
truiled not to be meddlesome.

The Ideal Teacher.
The Atlantic.


Before all other qualifications, how
ever, the teachers character is the
fundamental requisite. That must De
above reproach in all things. Milton
words about the poetic power are
specially true in regard to the power
to teach He who would not be frus-
trate," said the great poet, of ms
hope to write we'll hereafter in laud-
able things, must himself be true
poem" He who would not be Illustrate
of his hope to teach we'll at any time
ought himself to be a lofty eXemplar
of the virtues he would impress upon
his pupils. The teacher who STANDS
before a class for hours every day
ought to exert greater influence even
than the clergyman who speaks from
the pulpit one day in the week, and
he ought at least to have an equally
lofty character known and recognized
by all men. The teacher who is mas
ter of his subject, and who has this
nobility of character needs no help OF
articles to assist him in governing
his pupils-he has simply to be, and
they obey.

EQUALITY BEFORE THE LAW.

Equality before the law is the bed
rock of all democratic constitutions
There is nothing more obnoxious and
Justly so to the citizens than for priv
ate influence to prevent the same laws
applying to all offenders alike.
The laws of 1908. chapter 551, sec
ton 8, requires that "all prisoners con-
fined in the county jail lWaKe
under final sentence for crime $
shall be worked on the public roads. =
Laws of 1905, chapter 81, section TO-
amends the above only by adding after
the words "Dublic roads the words
cor highways thus re-affirming at
the session of 1905 the law as enacted
at the session of 1903.
All the prisoners i'm Wake jail have
been put on the roads by virtue OF the
two statutes referred to, except Rogers
and Sorrell, imprisoned for embracery
whose influential friends are interested
in seeing that they are not subject to
the law which specify that they apply
to "all prisoners. There is much
talk in this community, and inquiry as
to what influence is powerful enough
to set aside statutes made by the
General Assembly so as to exempt
these two men.
Influences are busily at work in
their interests asking prison bounds SO
that they may walk about and get
the benefit of fresh air. The law
specifies how they shall get this bene-
fit Of walking about and breathing
fresh air. and that is by working the
roads like all other prisoners.
Let US have equality before the law.

from the pen of distinguished edu-
Gator:
''At the largest business college

willing to "typewrite," ETC., at die

the amazing fact that of the stu
dents entering there for q course,
nearly all of them having gradu-
ated either from a grammar or
high school, not one in twenty had
learned even how to spell correct
ly ordinary words or how to write
a decend hand.
We are persuaded that all too OIL
ten the child is hurried away from
the three RS (reading, writing and
arithmetic) and into the Ologies, ETC.
before the fundamentals have been
properly mastered. We have seen the
little fellow of tender years going to
school loaded down with books like

must be taught to spell when young

Spirit of the Press.
What Trusts Have Done Tor AsheVilie'
Asheville Citizen,


Most of the old residents of Ashe-
Vile remember that several years ago,
ere the hand of hydra-headed trust
laid its blighting touch on the tobac-
co industry of North Carolina, this
CITY boosted of five large tobacco
warehouses 1t was a common sight
we are told, to see large sums OIL
money transferred to the pockets or
the farmers in exchange for his crop.
'Those were the days" said a friend
of the Citizen yesterday, when you
could see the floors of the warehouses
crowded with anxious buyers, each
striving to outbid the other for the
bright leaf of the Old North State.
The farmers had money in those days
and the raising of tobacco was one or
the biggest industries before the
American Tobacco Company was
formed. But it is all changed now"
Yes, "old times have changed, old
manners gone, and a stranger fills the
Stewards throne" And why? Be-
cause there has been allowed to
flourish under successive Republican
administrations that destroyer of
trade; that wrecker of the homes Of
the small retailer; that heartless
builder Of monopoly--the trust.
BY aid of special legislation, and the
protection of an avaricious govern
ment, the giant syndicateS of today
have grown in power and strength
until their tentacles are fastened in
the heart of the government itself.
Breeders of graft and corruption, the
assassins of free and fair trade-the
American trust is a pestilence in the
land and an abomination in the nos
trils of al decent men.
We see before us what the trusts
have done for Asheville, and shall we
then give encouragement to the
richest and most powerful of them all
the beef truSt-in it's relentless on
slaught on men of our own kith and
kin who make and spend their money
in Asheville? A cut price has an at
tractive sound for the average house
keeper, but let her remember that
though she buys at lower price now
she will pay the fiddler hereafter.
By the strength which she imparts to
the sinews of the trust when she
patronizcs it will she pave the way
for future oppression. Stand by your
own people and give no assistance to
a giant concern which wakes fat on
the ruin of the small dealer.

discussed the art, and his favorite ex-
amples, with elaborate and charming
fondness. Pride and Prejudice" was
the greatest novel of them all, al
though shaken on it's pedestal by
"Ivanhoe," until Henry Esmond''
came along and took the highest place,
never to be dislodged Dickens lies
beyond Trollope's sympathies, as do
others whose method is exaggeration,
and he also cares little for writer's in
whom plot does all the work. "a
novel should give a picture of COM
mon life enlivened by humor and
sweetened by pathos." One of the
most valuable Of Trollope's points.
and one on which he is insistent, is
the unfitness to the novel of unrelated
effects. There should be no episodes
in a novel" Many of the most popu-
lar novels of to-day are conglomera-
tons Of episodes and nothing else.

SHELBY'S GREAT WEEK.

Cleveland county has had a week of
splendid reunion of it's sons at home
and it's sons abroad in the Home
Corners Week." which has just ended,
and which proved a grand success
from start to finish.
Cleveland hospitality and Shelby
welcome mean more than the mere
words, and that the great crowd in at
tendance was handsomely entertained
is known before mention of this is
made. There were eloquent speeches
from sons at home, from sons abroad
and from prominent North Carolinians
who would feel proud to be sons of
Cleveland county.
The closing day was made memora-
BILE, not alone by the eloquent address
by Governor Glenn, whose topic was
of the Confederate soldier, but also
by the enthusiastic response in con-
tributions of about $500 for the erec-
ton of monument to Cleveland
county Confederate soldiers, the dom
ors subscribing hundreds of dollars,
while the audience cheered in APP
prevail.
A noble deed nobly done, fittingly
ended the week with honors to the
Confederate dead The patriotic wo-
men of Cleveland had already raised
some $3.50 for the Confederate monu-
ment, this with the contributions of
Friday, amounts to nearly $500,
la total which it is expected to
easily increase to $4,000. That the
Confederate monument in Cleveland
county, when erected, will come as the
result Of the Home Corners Week. is
a tribute to that event which will last
for years upon years, and the monu-
ment will stand in Shelby as typical of
the love felt for the county and for
its Confederate heroes by the dis
persed, and by those who stayed at
home.

La Toilette Wouldn't Really Hang.
Fish.

The Governor of Wisconsin intends
to stay at the helm as long as neces-
sary. The legislation to which he was
committed has been passed, but as the
courts may throw it out, he will re-
main away from the United States
Senate uni til the matter is legally de-
cided. Governor La Toilette has been
eagerly assailed by the conservative
press, because, crushed to a jelly on
the Illinois Central. he revealed a
wish to hang Mr.. Fish, the president.
Much ado, indeed, about q choice of
phrase. OF course, the Governor
would not hang the Central's presi-
dent, but he gave human expression
to an emotion in which it is not diff
ficult for any of us to share. Mr.. La
Toilette, in his general attitude toward
railway abuses, has the American peo-
pie at his back.

sustained efforts to be funny are in
fact the most tragic and deadly OF all

Governor Folk.)

So the good in government does not
exist by accident, but must be nurtured
by good citizens, who must likewise
contend actively against the vices that
creep into government. 1t Is one
thing to be against wrong; it is quite
another thing to fight wrong. One is
a noncombatant that never won
cause, the other soldier i'm the hight.
Good citizens need to become more
aggressive. The man who is afraid
to show his colors and stand in the
open against evils is of little benent
to good government.
