The Parham Brothers Supply Com.
pany last week got in an invoice OF
three dozen Gillette Safety Razors,
and they have sold half OF them al
ready. There are several different
kinds of safety razors but competent
Judges pronounce the Gillette the best
safety razor made. 1t is a beautiful
little affair, triple silver plated, is
simply made and can be easily taken
apart for cleaning. More than 400
shaves without stropping is a low
average of the number OF shaves that
can be secured with it. With each
razor there are twelve double-edged
blades of wafer steel, tempered so
hard by the secret process OF the man
ufacturers, that they must be ground
with diamond dust, and SO perfect
ly sharpened, every one will give
from ten to forty delightful, velvety
shaves without stropping. That IS
what the manufacturers claim Tor
them but one man, l.. Greenwood,
auditor of the Farmers Loan and
Trust Co., Sioux City, Iowa, writes
that he has used one blade sixty-two
times and is still using it. When the
blades are dull they can be exchanged,
the manufacturers giving one new
blade for every two returned to them
Repeated exchanging in this waygives
an equivalent of twenty-five blades
with every outfit. After they are al
used, new ones can be purchased a,

Plans Submitted for Graded School
Building.

Plans for the new Graded School
building were submitted to the trus-
tees last week. There were several
competitors, the claims OF each one
being carefully gone over and consid
cred. The contest was finally mar
rowed down to two, Architects Lin
thicum, OF Durham, and Wheeler, OF
Charlotte. Each one possessed GER
tain features and characteristics
which commended them to the trus-
tees while wanting in other respects.
These gentlemen were called before
the Board and certain alterations
and additions suggested, after which
it was thought that one or the other
of the plans might be acceptable.
Perfected plans with blue prints and
complete detailed specifications are
to be made, the architect being paid
for his trouble even if his design is
not accepted. These will probably
be ready in about 10 days when bids
for constructing the building will be
asked for
Whatever may be decided upon as
to the style of architecture let us not
have cheap building. We are not
building for the present alone but
for the future also.

The doctors of a neighboring county
who recently met and "resoluted" to

with certain other specified charges for
other kinds of professional services, with
a final resolve that the resolutions be
printed in the newspapers, are evidently
believers in the value and propriety OF ad-

now. II Peary wants sympathy, let him
talk North Pole in the middle of August,
with the thermometer soaring and humid

Judge Joseph II. Kibbey, who has just
been appointed by the president to be

Susan B. Anthony will celebrate her

Jules Verne is undoubtedly doomed to

his literary career has been to be elected

tails have not admitted him to their num-

RAILROAD ARGuMENr PuNCTURED
Light of Daily Experience Turned ON
Corporate Assertions.

United states investor.
The argument is advanced that II rail-
ways are not permitted TO manage their
business. their securities will be diminished
in value. But do not the present practices
cause dimnshment when by favoring
one shipper all the others are driven out
OF business, lowering the volume OF traffic?
Is income not reduced by the pernioious
and substantial unlawful giving of passes
Does not rate cutting, another important
example of which is now being given In
the middle west, reduce earnings and affect
the incomes Of railway bond and share
holders? Would not stable rates, equitably
fixed for all and strictly held 20, be more
likely TO yield a more stable income? 1t
IS deliberately misleading to assert that
the effect OF the proposed law is to reduce
rates generally; and II such a result IL TO
be apprehended, proper care in amending
It now will remove the objection, for the
declared purpose, as sincerely expressed as
is possible in language to do so, is that
there shall be lodged somewhere the power
to prevent one man from being charged 40
cents for a certain service and another
charged 80 cents for the Identical service
In the same hour.
Respecting the ability TO intelligently
handle the rate question, IL is preposterous
to assume that the only men capable OF
doing 50 are those now employed by the
railways, There are as many outside OF
the railway Offices who have graduated
from those Offices, and there are certainly
an equal number who never were in rail-
way offices who understand the subject
From these two bodies OF men we can as
suredly obtain commission that is fully

posed measure would operate as a conhAca-

GENERAL LEW WALLACE.

In the death of General Lew Wallace
the country loses a man of distinguished
literary ability, who had also made
fine record as a soldier, having served in
both the Mexican war and in the war of
the rebellion. General Wallace was born
in April 1927, so that he was nearly 7S
years Of age. Receiving little more than
a high school education. his knowledge
Of the world was gained at first hand in
the service of the United States govern
ment, which he represented at several
foreign diplomatic posts, When COM
paratively young man Wallace was APP
pointed adjuthnt general of his native
state, Indiana. In the first year of the
civil war he was commissioned briga-
dier general and in the following year he
was promoted to major general for con-
spicuous bravery and gallantry at the
capture of Fort Donelson.
After the war he was made minister to
Paraguay. subsequently becoming gov
ernor of New Mexico, and in 1882 he was
appointed minister to Turkey. General
Wallace achieved literary distinction as
the author of "Ben Hur" which was one
Of the most widely read books Of the
time and is still regarded by many as a
work OF the highest merit as an lmagi-
native and descriptive production. Few
things in modern literature are more ia
nous In descriptive writing than the
chariot race in Ben Hur' and it has
been used in different guses by several
novelists of repute in late years. Gen
eral Wallace wrote several other works,
among which are "a Prince of India
and life OF Benjamin Harrison. His
reputation in literature, however rests
upon his first work. which will hold
permanent place among the celebrated
productions Of American authors. Cen
eral Wallace made good record as
soldier, but the perpetual ton OF his mem
ory will he chiefly due to his literary

SERIOUS ACCIDENT IN FACTORY
Eight wOrkmen injured by ExpIo-

in New York.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Elght workmen
were badly injured by an explosion Of
sulphur in the Brooklyn Sulphur works in
Brooklyn today. Firemen end policemen
who brought them out OF the building were
themselves much affected by breathing the
sulphur fumes, and at one time ten fremen
were lying on the sidewalk with ambulance
surgeons administering restoratives. 1t is
believed four Of the injured workmen will
die.
The first explosion was quickly followed
by a second and in a minute the whole
three-story building was in flames A
number of worSmen were caught where
there were no fire escapes and had to jump
to the ground. When the firemen arrived
men were hanging from windows ana were
taken down with the aid of scaling ladders
The explosions are supposed to have been
caused by the ignition OF the sulphur by a
spark caused by the presence Of a nail in
the mechanism of one OF the sulphur grind
ing machines. '.+

A Jeer from Gopberdom.

The Minnesota legislature went on rec
ord very quickly in the matter of voting
in the Affirmative to expend $4,000 for the
purchase of a suitable testimonial for the
new battleship Minnesota. Nebraska should
put its ear to the ground and listen to the
Gophers' vote when 1t comes to honoring
the pride OF the navy" Only a few days
ago the Cornhuskers had an opportunity
to say yes or no to a proposition to spend
5000 to buy a suitable silver service for
the Nebraska. the battleship recently
launched on the Pacific coast: but the
solons of that state did not come to the
front. Nebraska is a rich state nowadays,
and there is no need of the economy that
savors of niggardliness.
