DANCES SOLD FOR CHARITY.
Chicago GIRLS Reaped n Golden Hnr-

vest From Dancing Partners.
Two of the happiest girls among
those who worked for the success of
the recent charity ball in Chicago were
Miss Italia Blair and Miss Lena Small,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
"Just thinkw exclaimed Miss Blair
the next day. "a score of men paid
at least So each for the privilege-no,
not that; I'm not so conceited as to
think that-for sweet charity after
dancing with me.
"When it got toward morning l was
dancing for five dollar bills sticking
out from between all my fingers. Some
gave great deal more than the mini
mum price of So per dance"
SiXty-five dollars was the sum real
lied by Miss Small from selling her
dances at the ball. Miss Small, how
ever, extracted $50 from the pockets of
Chicago society men by selling frappe.
Owing to her dividing her attention

Married His Grandmother.
There lived in the village of Arreton,
Isle of Wight, many years ago young
man who was betrothed to a young
woman. Both were poor and in humble
life, but the grandfather of the young
man had money, and he fell in love
with the young woman and proposed
marriage to her. The girl told her
lover. He was displeased, but, having
pondered over the dilemma, saw way
to extricate himself and his sweetheart
from the same. "Marry him." said he
to the girl. "He is rich. He cannot live
long. When he dies you'll have his
money, and I'll have you" She took
the advice. BY the marriage she be-
came the young mans grandmother.
Not long after the old man. died. and
then she welded her first betrothed.

Outraged Fathers and Brothers VIII
Stay.

While the occurrence in Raleigh
Saturday is to be deplored yet the
happenings of shame that paved the
way to it is to be deplored more. The
crimson blot is apt to follow at any
time the man who helps to send wo-
men to degradation. We wonder If
erring young men in this world Will
accept the awful lesson and Will real
iZe that such an end as young Dock
ery's is always a possibility and very
often a probability in similar posi-
tons.
A man has no right to trifie with
a woman's honor, and as long as they
do outraged fathers and brothers will
be turned into assassins. This is as
inevitable, especially in the South,
where the eye generally looks up to
the woman on a pedestal, as the sun
sinking below the western horizon.
For the protection of society States
may have their laws which will cover
offences of all kinds, but as long as
women are made the prey OF men the
law of murder will be broken and
morally the offender will stand before
the world an innocent man.
The family of young Dockery and
those of the unfortunate young wo,
men are to be pitied. They are the
ones who are suffering most. Youths
indiscretion and recklessness may

ANOTHER PAT1TSON TO THE
FRONT.

Ohio. like Pennsylvania, will have
a Democrat, and a life insurance pres
ident by the same name for Governor.
Hon. John M. PattisOn, who has
lust been nominated for Governor OF
the second richest State in America,
Ohio, by the Democratic convention
of that great State, was some years
ago elected to Congress from a Re-
publican district. He is great man
for the people and is justly very
popular.
Mr.. Pattison is at least one example
of the office seeking the man. He has
led an intensely busy life, and enjoys
the reputation of doing more work
than almost any man to be found, and
of having great honesty. He stands
second to no man in America in the
conscientious execution of a trust re-
posed i'm him. He is we'll known all
over this land, not only for honesty.
but for the most rigid economy in the
management of great business inter-
ests which have been placed in his
hands i'm which others are interested
For nearly a quarter of, century he
has demonstrated these virtues to an
extent that is rare in the manage
ment of the Union Central Life In
surance Company which, under his
management as president, has become
known as one of the best managed
life insurance companies in America.
Ohio is not a Democratic State, but
you may expect to see John M. Patti
son the next Governor of Ohio. NO
man of more virtues can be put up,
and Ohio, like Pennsylvania, will have
a Democrat for Governor, both having
the same name and both having served
as president of life insurance COM
panies.
The Pennsylvania Governor is dead.
Keep your eyes on the other Pattison
and Ohio!

No Man of Bad Private Life Will Make
Good Public Servant.


Personal integrity and clean life
these are the things to be demanded
in every man seeking public office if
honest government is expected. No
man of bad private life will make a
good public servant"
The foregoing is a paragraph in 4
recent number of the News and OBJ
server. AS this is an off year in poll
tics in North Carolina, one can say
such things without giving opportunity
to any one to say that it is personal.
Indeed personal integrity and clean
life" should be demanded of every
mans record who aspires to hold Of
flee as the gift of the people. 1t has
sometimes been a sort of political
fashion to look over many of man s
faults and failures in private life, and
say that it does not necessarily follow
that his public service will be tainted
with his private practices. But that
is all a mistake. A man who is not
correct in his own private life cannot
be correct in public. 1t never will
be so until the laws of nature are
changed. Not until sweet water flows
from a bitter fountain will YOU ever
see a man bad in private life as fit
to hold office as the man who is cor
rect in his private life.
A good man at home, who loves
home and all its trueSt ana pufeSt
virtues, who marks his daily course
in life by the square and plummet or
Right is far superior in public office
or as a representative of the people
than the man who wabbles as often
as he walks steadily. 1t matters not
about a mans intellectual endow-
ments, if his purposes and principles
are not correct, his intellectual abil-
ity is all the more dangerous. A
strong writer has put a great truth
before the world which ought not to
be forgotten by anyone VINO once
grasps it; and that truth is this: 'The
real power and value in a mans life
is his moral purpose multiplied into
his ability to. think straight" No
man is a true man who is bad in pri-
vate life; and as long as there are men
of passing ability who are correct in
private life the public should not be
imposed on by placing bad men in Of
flee and places of public trust.

The Bible Says You Cannot Take
Tainted Money.

RoXboro Courier.
There has been much discussion in
various parts of the country as TO
whether it is right for church to
accept tainted money. Some ministers
throughout the country defend the ac-
ceptance of money from Rockefeller
and insist that the church should not
inquire into the methods employed IN
obtaining money or refuse the giver
the right to contribute to Christian
work. But doesn't the Bible prove
that the church can inquire into Il
source from whence money comes?
Also that they can decline to use
tainted money for the advancement Of
church work. We read in the 2lth
chapter of Matthew, Bird to 8th verses
inclusive:
SO. Then Judas. which had betrayed
him, when he saw that he was con-
demned, repented himself, and
brought again the thirty pieces of Sill
yer to the chief priests and elders,
"a. Saying, | have sinned in that !
have betrayed the innocent blood.
And they said: What is that to us?
See thou to that.
"5. And he cast down the pieces or
silver into the temple ana departed
and went and hanged himself.
&c. And the chief priests took the
silver pieces and said: 1t is MOI law
full to put them into the treasury, be-
cause it is the price of blood.
az. And they took counsel and
bought with them the potter's field to
bury strangers in.
IS. Wherefore that field was called
the field of blood unto this day."
