me of the JoIliest of Hallow-
4 cen stunts Polly Evans has
ever known is the Raisin Race,
~ II you have never tried it,
don't fail to do so this Halloween
Take a nice, clean white string
yard, long, and exactly in the centre
fasten a raisin. Now take two boys
or girls. tie their hands behind them
and place an end of the string De-
tween each ones teeth At the woru
go" each must begin chewing the
string for dear life."
The one chewing fastest Will reach
the raisin first, provided he is not so
unfortunate as to let the string slip
= from his teeth. an accident which Is
likely to occur, as his opponent
chewing causes a pulling or the
string, which must be carefully
guarded against
The chewer who first reaches the
rsisin may eat it, and will also have
AsrTat good fortune.

TEST OF THE DISHES

one filled with clean water After be-
ing blindfolded, approach the plates and
dip your finger into one. If it enters the
empty dish, you will never be married;
If the dish with foul water, you will be
a widow, or have domestic unhappiness:
if. the dish with clean water, you will be
happily married.
Place beside your bed a glass of
water containing a silver of wood. If
in your sleep you dream of falling
off bridge and some one rescuing
you, the face of the hero will be that

OF course, you know the apple-seed
stunt. Name your apple and then
count the seeds to the following
rhyme:
One I love. two love. three I love. /
Four 1 love with all my heart,
And five cast away;
Six she loves, seven he loves. eight

Nine he comes, ten he tarries.
Eleven he courts and twelve he mar
ries."
Count the white hecks in your
finger nails. beginning with the thumb.
as follows: Present, friend. foe, letter

Another stunt which most young
people know well is the canceling
stunt. Write some persons name I'M
der that of the person whose fate you
are testing. Cancel all the common
letters. then counting off all the I'M
cancelled letters repeat this formula:

And beyond preaching against it
they do little else to check crime

The Cruiser North Carolina. p"

Charlotte Observer
This kindly suggestion is from the
Charleston News and Courier:
On October 9th, the armOred cruiser
North Carolina, which is to be one OF the
finest ships in the United States navy,
will be launched at Newport News. We
agree with the Charlotte Observer that
the incident should be made of great i'm
portance by the people of the Old North
State, and that it is well for them to
"have u thought for that silver service,
the presentation of which should follow
the launching in due season"
We have no doubt that the Tar Heels
will do themselves proud" on this Occa-
sion, and that the testimonial they will
present to their fighting namesake will
be in every sense creditableto their good
taste and patriotic spirit. 1t will not be
practicable for the cruiser to enter any
harbor in North Carolina to receive the
testimonial, and we would suggest that
the mayor of Charleston and the Cover
nor of South Carolina place the harbor
of Charleston at the disposal of our near
neighbors for the presentation ceremony.
The cruiser would be in friendly waters
at Charleston, and there is no reason
why the presentation OF the testimonial
should not be made at Charleston.
While the Observer naturally feels
grateful, as all North Carolinians
will, for the neighborly spirit which
prompts this suggestion of their good
friend, and assures it that we would
feel almost as much at home among
the good people of Charleston on
such occasion as under our own vine
and fig tree, acceptance OF such in
vitation would not be necessary.
Yielding to the superstition OF the
sailor folk, we must have the presen-
tation in North Caroline waters, and
in making the assertion that sit will
not be practicable for the cruiser to
enter any harbor in North Carolina, !"
our contemporary is guilty OF an
oversight Admitting the unfortunate
truth that it will not be possible for
the good ship to come up to Char
lotte, which would be most fitting
and proper, there is the good port of
Wilmington, which she may enter
with all ease or she may stop at
Southport. The News and Courier
has probably forgotten that a num-
Der of ships of war, notably the big
monitor Amphitrite, which draws
more water than any cruiser, have
used the Wilmington harbor, and
some of the largest cotton steam
ships that rove the seas go in and
out there regularly. There'u be no
obstacle, therefore, in the way of hav-
ing the ceremony in North Carolina
waters.

The Libel Law.
Statcsville Landmark

Statcsville Landmark.
The newspapers generally are tax
ing up the matter Of the proposed
change OF the newspaper libel law as
suggested by candidate for the
Legislature in Wake, and as was to
have been expected are expressing
opposition to it in no uncertain
terms. Referring to the editorial III
Fridays Landmark the Salisbury
Post says:
1t clearly represents the sentiment OF
ninety per cent. or more Of the North
Carolina editors when it says that 1.-THE
Landmark does not want, and there are
few if any of the editors in the State who
do want, law that gives them the priv
ilege OF injuring anybody
Iditors and papers there be that vent
personal spite and malice in the name OF
righteousness, but they are few and the
law now on the statute books, as the
Landmark points out, affords them no
protection. AS amatter of fact the jour
nalistic muislnger has no ranker enemy
than those OF the profession who have
regard for ethics of journalism. When
the vast amount of labor involved in the
publication of a daily paper, it matters
not how obscure the publication, is con-
sidsred, and the hurry with which the
matter is necessarily prepared, it is a
marvel even to newspaper men them
selves that inaccuracies are so lew.

For the better information of
the general public we here publish
an extract from a letter of Attor-
ney General Walter Guion, to
Mayor b. P. Fournet on this mat
ter of registration. Attorney Gen.
ersl Water Guion says:
II have your letter Of 18th ult.. enclo-
sing me an extract from the weekly
Messenger" showing correspondence be-
tween yourself and Mr.. Guidrv. the Re-
gistrar of Voters Of the Parish Of St.
Martin. concerning the registration Of
voters for the municipal election to be
held In St. Martinville on the 18th inst.
Mr.. Guidry is correct In stating that
no voter can be registered within thirty
days Of an election. but l notice that
your letter to him calling his attention
to the municipal election to be held In
st. Martinville on the 18th inst. aud re-
questing him to open the registration
Office for the purpose Of enabling quali-
fed electors to be registered. is dated
the 9th ult.. and that his letter acknow-
lodging receipt Of same Ia dated the 10th
ult.
Mr.. Guidry does not show. 80 far as I
am able to learn from the correspon-
dence referred to, any good reason why
the registration Office could not have
been opened for several days prior to the
18th OF April. 1905. the date after which
be would have been denied the right to
register further.
In other words. it would seem that
there were several days during which
be might have registered persons desi-
rous Of taking part In the municipal
election to be held In st. Martinville on
the 10th inst.
It is my opinion-and I have given It
On several occasions-that the Registrar
Of Voters should afford every facility to
the qualified electors Of the State to re-
gister In order to participate in all lel+c.
tions held In the State. whether State.
congressional. parochial. municipal or
otherwise, and I feel quite sure that I
state Che law correctly In giving 1t as
my opinion that Mr.. Gui,lry acted with
out legal right in not opening his Office
for the purpose Of enabling persons 70
register, who might desire to partici-
pate In the municipal election to be
held in st. Martinvills on the 18th inst.
