THE STRENGTH OF NATIONS.

Not all who live in the country
realize its significance. Here and there
is decadent home and a degenerate
family. But all over the world the
strength of nations is found among
those who have been fostered near to
nature and have become free beings
by working together in honest labor.
This is home ideal to be placed
among the highest. There is little

Al Beautiful Exhibition

Mrs. Bancroft. a cultured lady
from Boston, has a class of$yery,
interesting pupils nearly tWen-
|ty little girls. She is teaching
them colors, and preparing them
for advanced work in water col
ors and painting on china. The
other day she gave an exhibition
OF the chill dren s. work to which
she invited the mothers and their
friends, and a really creditable
exhibition it was.
This exhibition may be seen
in A. E. Hodg gkinson's S window,
and those who will do themselv.i
les the pleasure of going to veiW
lit will agree, with us that Mrs.
Bancroft should receive every
encouragement in hernoble work.
In our young city we are too
apt to overlook the cultivation
of the more beautiful side Of our
lives. Such neglect is a serious
mistake. lie we would add to the
happiness Of our children, we
should give them the education
that places them in harmony with
the beauty of the outer world.
The love of the beautiful will.
often master the tendency to be
3sordid or n1orose, and beauty
sfructifying in heart and.
brain will chase away debasing|
thoughts and unholy ambitions.
We hope Mrs. Bancroft will be
encouraged inher altruistic work,
and that her opp portunity to instil
in minds of the children the.
principles Of art will be WidenedI
by the cooperation Of every
family in the city.

Shook Ills Cane Threateningly

We happened to be on the
avenue the other evening when
Chief Hurst suddenly stopped
and shaking his cane in a threat
ening manner, said, Stop that
splitting on The sidewalk. Don't
you know that is a filthy habit?
it there is sany more of that I'll
| attend to you on the spot. s
He then stepped into the hotel
land instructed the clerk to see
that no more splitting was allow
ed, and told the clerk if he didn't
stop it, he would.
We felt like applauding the
chief for his action, for If there
is a more filthy habit than pro-
|nniscuous and prolonged expec
toration on q public walk, we
do not know of it. It's revolt
ing to behold. It is rauseating
to walk through it. and no more
ulsanitary act can be commit
ted than to spit the refuse of the
system upon the sideaWlk, where
the wind can blow it into our
eyes, or fill the air we have
to breathe.
la Minneapolis about eight
years ago, a number of refined
women commenced q crusade
against the spitters on the
sidewalks and in the street
cars. The Board of Heal finally
under pressure, took the matter
under consid deration, and through
1.-THE City Council became IN
terested and finally passed an
ordinance forbid ding the nasty
practice and penalizing the act tai
the amount of five dollars.
The filthy practice has been
largely abando Very rare

women can with comparative Sc.
curity walk the streets and sit

Oped at this term than an incident
yesterday when an old grayhaired
man, Dave Hall, of Shelton Laurel,

who is here TO answer 10 the charge
OF blockading, arose and with tears
ceursing down his tanned cheeks,
pleaded to be allowed to 60 home,
stating that he had received @ mes
sage that his father was dying and
that he wanted to see him once
more. He pleaded that he was papa's
boy and his broken voice and shak-
ing hand showed his distress.
The prosecuting attorney agreed
to his request and he was allowed to
go his way free man.
The family is well known to the

case Deputy Marshal Ben Barnes
said! "The statement that Dave

More interest has been shown in
this bill than in any other measure
that has been before this session of

that there will be lively and pro-

AN ISSUE FOR 1908.

Some days ago the politicians IN
the Anti-Saloon League secured the
passage of a resolution postponing
the campaign for prohibition until
after the election this fall, as such q
campaign might hurt Senator SIM
mons chances for reelection to the
Senate. This action by the league
caused the Durham Herald to OBJ
serve as follows:
"If the Anti-Saloon League does
not get into politics the politicians
will get into the Anti-Saloon League,
so what's the difference ?"
To which the Union Republican
adds:
"Too true. Already the League
has decided, through its executive
committee, to side-track State pro-
hibition to further Senator Sim
mons chance for reelection"
The politicians have decided upon
1908 az the most propitious time to
launch their temperance campaign,
as they will need some good live
issue then to attract the voters at
tention from the fact that they have
a law on the statute books disfran-
chising every white boy in the State
after that date. But the voters will
not be fooled.

FOE PREDECESSORS,

Must Issue Two Million Dollars Worth
of Bonds-Extravagancet the Cause.
Union Republican.
The Biblical Recorder, whose edi-
tor keeps pretty well up with the
trend of politics, if indeed he is not
one Of the politicians himself, says,
in summing up what is to be done
by our next legislature, that ssa bond
issue is a recourse which one must
invoke reluctantly, but when it
must be, it must be. We shall not
be surprised if the next General AS
sembly issues bonds to the amount
of two million dollars to enlarge our
hospitals and the capital"
This will prove to be very inter-
esting reading to the taxpayers of
North Carolina who are to pay the
interest on these bonds, and who are
to carry the load until they are
finally paid, it indeed they are ever
paid in this day and generation. The
history which leads up to the neces-
sity of issuing these bonds is verywell
known to the people. When the leg
islature was making the appropria-
ton for various and sundry objects,
was employing counsel to defend
violators Of the election law, was
creating new Offices to make jobs for
political favorites, was increasing
the salaries Of officers and was per-
hitting graft in running the A. &
N. G, Railroad, it could not but be
we'll aware that the issuing Of bonds
would be the final outcome.
It is true the farmers lands nave
been reassessed, and taxes have been
increased from year to year, but all
that was not sufficient to bear the
burden or stand the strain which
our legislatures were putting upon
US. The condition of affairs is
rather serious, and this, too, in the
midst Of the greatest industrial &C
tivity our State and nation has ever
known. It is possible that people
under government, which is sup
posedly of the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people, cannot con.
duct their affairs without such enor-
NOUS expenses and without issuing
these enormous amounts Of bonds.
It certainly behooves them to look
into their own affairs more closely,
and to see to it that no political
ring shall consume their substance
for graft and for political aggran-
diZement.
