The Truth About Spelling.

At a spelling bee in Gastonia last week thirty
picked spoilers from the graded school were pit
tied against fifteen old timers, who studied the
blue-back when they were boys Gradually the
graded school ranks began to thin, and when the
smoke of battle cleared away all the modern
spoilers had vanished and three grim bueback
warriors stood. There is no talking good
friends, the hlue-back is the proper thing
Charity and Children.
There is a great deal of prejudice IN this SPELL
ing-book question it is not so much in the kind
of book used, but it depends on the man that's
doing the spelling. We know old classmates that
got their start in the old-blue back spelling-book
and when spelling orally they could rattle it of
all right but when put down with the rencil they
couldn't write page of note paper without errors
in spelling Mechanical spelling sounds very well
in spelling match, but practical written spelling
is the thing that counts -Marshville Home

An amusing instance of Observation-Disclosures was
afforded not long ago by bell boy in a hotel in
Washington according to Delegate Worth.
One of the guests, a Congressman from the
West, had hurried to the hotel clerks counter.
He had just ten minutes in which to pay his bill,
catch the railway station and board his train.
When he had hastily transacted his business
with the clerk and had turned to dash out of the
door, it suddenly occurred to him that he had
forgotten something. "Here. boy" he shouted to

Killing Ants.

As nearly everyone is bothered once in while
with ants, the remedy advised by The Garden
Magazine will be interesting: Boiling hot water
poured into the holes will destroy large numbers
of the ants. An effective remedy is isulphide
of carbon poured into the holes. This quickly
evaporates and the heavy vapor penetrates the
lowest depths of the runs. Pour in two table
spoonfuls at one spot Bisulphide of carbon is in
fammable so that it should be kept from fire or
sparks for fear of ignition.

lin Bludso, of the Prairie Belle.

Wall, no, I can't tell whar he lives,
Because he don't live, YOU see;
Leastways he's got out of the habit
Of livin' like you and me-
Whar' have you been for the last three year
That you haven't hear folks tell
How Jimmy Bludso passed N his checks
The night of the Prairie Belle!
He waren't no saint-them engineers
Is pretty much alike
One wife in hez-under-the-hlll'
Another one here in Pike.
A keerless man in his talk was J1m,.
An awkward hand In row,
But he never funked, and he never led
/ reckon he never knowed how
And this was all the religion ne had'
To treat his engine well.
Never be passed on the river,
To mind the pilots bell;
And if ever the Prairie Belle took fire
A thousand times he swore
He'd hold her nozzle agln the DanK
Till the last soul got ashore.
All boats has their day on the Mlsslsslp'
And her day come at last;
The Movastar was better boat,
But the Belle she wouldn't be passed.
And so she come tarln' along the night
The oldest craft on the line
With niger SQUAT ON her safety valve,
And her furnace crammed, rosin and pine.
The fire bust out as she cleared the bar,
And burnt hole in the night;
And quick as a flash. she turned and mace
For that willer bank the right.
There was runnin' and cursin', but jim yelle'

Over all the Internal roar:
''Tll hold her nozzle agin the bank
Till the last galoot's ashore"
Through the hot, black breath of the burnn
boat
Jim Bludso's voice was heard,
And they all had trust in his cussedness,
And knowed he would keep his word;
And. sures you're born, they all got OFT
Afore the snokestacks fell
And Bludso's ghost went up alone
In the smoke of the Prairie Belle.
He wernt no saint-but at judgment
I'd run my chance with Jim
'Longside of some pious gentlemen
That wouldn't shook hands with him.
He seen his duty, dead sure thing
And went for it thar and then;
And Christ amt a-going to be too hard

His Idea of Tourists,

Burton Holmes, the famous traveller,
tells Of an amusing incident that oc.
Cured during a recent trip through
the Yellowstone park. 1t shows that
the inhabitants of interesting places
are apt to make distinction between
tourists and people who are travelling
for business.
1--WE were riding leisurely along the
big, fine government road" said Mr..
Holmes, when at a sharp turn we met
one of these inhabitants coming to-
ward us on muleback. We stopped
and piled him with questions about
the park for almost an hour, and as
we turned to go he said: 'Ef l ainh
too inquis'tive, be you felers goin'

MISSISSIPPI cHocTAW ROLLS
Payment Of $40 Per Capita When
They Are Completed

Dana II. Kelsey, Indian agent, has
commenced work on roll OF Mis-
sissippi Choctaws in the Choctaw ma
ton for the purpose Of making to
them the payment of $40 per capita
to which they are entitled, and in
which the regular Choctaws and
Chickasaws participated last year.
This payment represents money re-
ceived from the sale of town lots in
government townsites. There are
10000 Mississippi Choctaws ON the
rolls, and it will take about a week
to complete the rolls, after which
they will be forwarded to Washington
for approval. Most of the Missis-
sippi Choctaws live east of Durant,
and payments will be made in the
towns most convenient to them. The
time and places Of the payments have
not yet been designated.

RUSSIA WON'T BORROW NOW.
Loan Negotiations Postponed Until
Affairs Quiet Down.

st. Peterburg. The negotiations
for the new Russian loan were in
definitely adjourned at meeting of
the financiers today. Both sides
agree that 1t would be importune to
place loan on the foreign markets
until the interior situation in Russia
has changed, The parting of the for
eign bankers and Nj. Kokovsoff, the
finance minister, was entirely amica-
BILE, the former expressing their will
ingness to return to st. Petersburg
and resume the negotiations at the
minister's invitation.
During the negotiations, M. Ko-
kovsoff told the bankers that 1t was
the intention OF the government to
employ the proceeds of the loan for
the liquidation of the war expenses,
the repatriation of the army, etc,
and to generally restore the status
quo ante-bellum. There Is also a
tacit understanding to place orders
for warships in rhe countries partici-
pating in the loan. The foreign
bankers have arranged to leave st.
Petersburg in body on Wednesday
by water. A steamer has been char
tered for this purpose.

Washington.-The state depart
ment has cabled to the United States
consul at Nanking, China, asking
particulars about the case of Admiral
Train, who, according to a cable
gram from Shanghai, got into serious
trouble in Marking after accidentally
wounding a Chinese woman, while
pheasant shotiDg. In view Of the
present strained relations between
the United States and China, and
particularly on account of the fact
that Marking is the center OF the boy
colt movement Of American goods,
the incident is regarded as serious.
However, neither the Chinese minis
ter In this city nor the state depart
ment have been officially notified.
Naval officers state that such ac-
cidents as this are not infrequent in
China. IL Is the custom os the naval
officers OF all nationalities. but par
ticularly British and Americans, on
the China station to go whenever
opportunity affords, in the Chinese
rice fields which, at certain seasons,
abound in ducks and small birds.
Shooting in the tall rice is certain to
be followed by some accidents, but
the navl officers say these are easily
adjusted, as a rule, by the payment
of small sum Of money to the vic
tins or their friends. One officer re-
called his shooting a Chimes babe on
his mothers back, which was settled
amicably by the payment of fifty Mex
lean dollars, with the result that
many Cinnamon were tempted to put
themselves in the way of shotguns.

State Literary and Historical Society Will Urge Tho
Statue of Vance be Placed in Statuary Hall

1S76-When, rising to the greatness OF
the occasion and discerning the SUI
preme Importance of the crisis ne
made almost certain for all time the
social order which has now been 50
firmly established in North Carolina.
Yet he loved that other race which
seemed so determined to thwart his
plans and oppose his purposes, and
the records he made as Governor are
full of expressions of his desire to
serve the people of that race also, with
kindly justice, as the opportunities
We're offered.
Transferred by the will of the peo-
pie, from the office of Governor to the
higher position of a Senator of the
United States he seized that Oppor-
tunity to render most distinguished
service, and dying, as he wished to
die, in bondage TO North Carolina, and
in the knowledge that the love of her
whole people was his-he was borne
as few heroes have been borne to
his resting place mid the hills to-
wards which his longing eyes had so
often turned.
Such is the story of the life of him
who stands first on the roll of our
great men.
TO him was given an intellect, pow
erful, graceful and kindly, a courage
that did not falter, and a will that
wisely controlled his powerful ma
ture.
And there came to him, in full
measure, opportunities for service
for suffering, too-and because he thus
suffered and served, let his be first
whenever North Carolnians are
named, and let the first effigy placed
by this commonwealth in the Capitol
of the Nation be that of her good
servant, Zebulon Baird Vance.
