nance. A boy i'm u pool-room can
have as much harm done him and do
as much harm to Others up to mid
night as he can up to two O'Clock.
We do approve most heartily a
stringent ordinance against permit
ting minors in pool-rooms at any
time and, if the police wish to com
plete their reform movement, let them
enforce rigidly the ordinance against
allowing minors in saloons at any
time. At the same time it will be
well for the parents of the city to
cooperate with the authorities by
stirling up their own consciences and
tax; d fresh grip on the habits and
associations of their children, their
boys especially.
The we'll dressed boy with hair elab-
orately arranged, organized as a
masher, precociously wicked, with
cigarette in his mouth, and expert in
every form and an authority on ev-
cry haunt of vice in the city long be-
fore he can grow a mustache or vote,
is a familiar and disgusting sight in
every large community. Usually he
winds up in the penitentiary, or
worse yet-as a cheap tin horn gam
bier or runner for a disreputable
house. This horror-this hideous
distortion of youth and burlesque
on manhood-could not be if his pa
rents had held tight hand on him
and seen that he was at home early
every evening Or that when he was
out they knew-not guessed vaguely
or supposed or took his word for it
exactly where he was. The home boy
need not be molly-coddle. Pool
rooms and saloons and street-corner
loafing nre not necessary for manli-
ness or courage or strength, and real
ly destroy all three. And as to the
mothers apron strings-they are
better than handcuffs; and occasional
stripes on boys back when he Is
fifteen or sixteen are far more becom-
ing than stripes all over him when he
is twenty.

Some After-Election Thoughts.
From ths Greensboro Weekly Tar
Heel, Republican,.

Heel, Republican.
The Weekly Tar Heels idea OF a
party is one tint agets the votes.
Is it the object of The Organiza-
tom to see how few votes it can get?
"The Organization succeeded in
reducing the vote in the State only
fifteen thousand in the recent elec-
tion.
If the object of "The Organization"
is to see how few votes it can get and
then refuse to let the Republicans
know the result, it is succeeding.
Wonder what Mr.. Butler tells the
administration what the cause OF the
slump in North Carolina under the
supervision of "The Organization"
Space in the Weekly Tar Heel will
be given Mr. Hicks, of Henderson,
Vance county, N. C., to give us the
addresses of the one hundred thou
sand Populists who voted with us in
the recent election owing TO their de-
votion to a dear friend OF his.
The readers of the Weekly Tar Heel
would like to know if there is any
special reason why the Republican
State Chairman refuses to let the Re-
publicans of the State know the re-
suit of the recent election from some
other source than that Of the News
and Observer.
Since the election Mr. T. T. Hicks

out in the bushes" who were coming
into the Republican party. The
whereabouts OF the bushes is a mys-
terry. From the result of the election
it is plainly evident that they didn't
vote but instead more voters went
into the "bushes." We have seen no
statement from Republican head
| quarters to the contrary and it must
be that Mr.. Hicks was dreaming.

More than thirty years ago. one
lovely Sabbath morning, eight
young men, students in a lawsclloo',
were walking along the banks *,f Il
stream that flows into Potomac
river not far from, the city of Wash
ington. They were going to grove
in retired place, to spend the hours
OF that holy day playing cards.
Each of them had flask of wine in
his pocket. They were the SONS ofpray-
ing mothers. AS they were walking
along amusing each other with idle
tests the bells of church in Il little
village about two miles off began to
ring. 1t sounded in the ears of these
thoughtless young men as plainly as
though it were only on the other
side of the little stream along which
they were walking.
Presently one Of their number
whose name was George stopped,
and said to his friend nearest to
him that he would go no further, but
would return to the village and go to
church. His friend called to their
companions, who were little ahead
OF him, Boys! boys! come back here.
George is getting religious. We
must help him. Come on, let us
baptize him by immersion in the
water."
In Il moment they formed Il circle
around him. They told him that the
only way in which he could save him
self from having cold bath was by
going with them. In calm, gu ct
but earnest way, he said:
Il know very well that you have
power enough to put me in the water;
and hold me there until | am drown
ed; and, it you choose, you can do so,
and | will make no resistance; but
listen to what have to say, and
then do SO as you think best.
You know | am two hundred miles
from home; but you do not know my
mother is Il helpless, bed-ridden in
valid. | never remember seeing her
| out of bed. | am her youngest child.
My father could not afford to pay
for my schooling; but our teacher is
a warm friend of my father, and Of
fered to take ME without any charge.
He was very anxious for me to come;
but mother would not consent. The
struggle almost cost her what little
life was left to her. At length, after
many prayers on the subject she
yielded, and said l might go. The
preparations for leaving home were
soon made. My mother never said a
ov.I f~ L
morning when went to leave. Al
ter l had eaten my breakfast she sent
for me, and asked if everything was
ready. | told her all was ready, and
was only waiting for the stage. At

her request, / kneeled beside her bed
With her loving hands upon my
head, she prayed for her youngest
child. Many and many a night since
then have l dreamed that whole
scene over. 1t is the happiest recol-
lection of my life. believe that un-
til the day OF my death / shall be
able to repeat every word of that
prayer. Then she spoke to me thus:
"My precious boy, you do not
know, you never can know, the agony
of a mothers heart in parting, for
the last time, from her youngest
child. When you leave home, you
will have looked for the last time,
this side of the grave, on the face OF
her who loves you as no other NOR
tai does or can. Your father cannot
afford the expense OF your making US
visits during the two years your
studies will occupy. l cannot pose
IDLY live so long as that. The sands
i'll the hour glass of my life have
nearly run out. In the far-off strange
place to which you are going there
will be no loving mother to give you
council in time of trouble. Seek
counsel and help from God. Every
Sabbath morning from 10 to IL
O'Clock / will spend the hour in pray
er for you. Wherever you may be
during this sacred hour when you
hear the church bells ringing, let
your thoughts come back to this
chamber, where your dying mother
will be agonizing in prayer for you.
But l hear the stage coming. Kiss
me farewell!'
Boys, l never expect to see my
mother again on earth. But by the
help OF God, | mean to meet her in
Heaven"
AS George ceased speaking, the
tears were streaming down his cheek.
He looked at his companions. Their
eyes were filled with tears.
In Il moment the ring which they
had formed about him was opened.
He passed out and went to church.
He stood up for the right against
great odds. They admired him for
doing what they had not the courage
to do. They followed him to the
church. On their way there each of
them quietly threw away his cards
and his wine-f flask. Never again
did any OF these young men play
cards on the Sabbath.
From that day they all became
men. Six of them died Christians,
and are now in Heaven. George is
an Christian lawyer in Iowa; and his
friend, the eighth of the party, who
wrote this account has been for many
years an earnest, active member of
the church. Here were eight men
converted by the prayers OF that
good Christian woman. And if we
only knew all the results of their ex-
amples and their labors we should
have a good illustration of a moth
er's prayers.

Thanksgiving Hymn.


Another year has passed away,
And under Thy protecting power,
The nation turns awhile to say,
We thank Thee for this gracious hour
Our land in peace and plenty rest,
Beneath the aegis OF Thy care.
No stern cloud gathers in our West,
To shed abroad the lightning's glare.
Nor from the North no chilling wind,
Arise to blast our country's peace,
And Southern flowers in garlands bind
All hearts to greet the radiant East.
The suns blest light unfolds the day,
The beauty Of Thy presence near,
And calls each thankful heart away
From everything that's dark and irear.
We thank Thee, Lord, for blessings past
And for hope of days to come,
Along our way while life shall last,
And the view OF brighter home.
May Thy smile e'er rest on our land,
Be peace from Thee our portion, Lord,
While providence displays Thy hand,
Wen trace Thine image in Thy word.
And in sweet charity be blest.
Wen share our portion with Thy poor,
And in thy promised blessings rest,
Until we reach the Heavenly shore.

Cleveland's Tribute to Hampton

Charlotte Observer.
On the eve OF South CArolina's
unveiling OF a 100000 equestrian
statue OF Gen. Wade Hampton, 'the
nations only ex-president" sent this
handsome message to the Columbia
State:
'To the editor of the State:
"By perpetuating the memory,
and career of Wade Hampton, South
Carolina honors herself, the entire
South shows fitting appreciation OF
the constancy and devotion of its
distinguished leader in time Of strife
and its wise and sympathetic friend
in the days OF the paeification while
the nation is reminded of his splen-
did illustration of the best American
| traits.
''GROVER CLEVELAND.

In no state is Mr.. Cleveland more
disliked than in South Carolina. 1t
is to be hoped that those South
Carolinians who revere the memory
Of Gen. Hampton will think better of
the ex-president now.
| Here is our condensed opinion OF the Origi-
nal Laxative Cough Syrup: Nearly all other
cough syrups ere constipating, especially
those containing opiates. Kennedy's Laxa-

THE EuRoPEAN ANARcHIsT PREss.

After the recent tragedy at Madrid public opinion
all over Europe accused the papers which preach
anaFchistIc doctrines Of being the real nstigators
Of the murderous deed. The anarchist press, which
hardly was IN existence ten years ago, is now
rather important. Anarchy does not enlist any
longer handful of followers but it seems to be
spreading There in Europe more than two
hundred and fifty anarchist organs-a large num-
Der when it is considered that the avoWed com
panions, anarchists call themselves are said to
be only forty thousand in the world
