THE MOTHERS OF THE WORLD. ="

| THE MOTHERS OF THE WORLD"
The first mother of whom we have
any knowledge was the mother Of Cain
and Abel, the much abused Eve, who
has been held responsible for SO much
Of the trouble that exists in the world.
1t is written that Eve was created
after Adam, SO woman has always Oc-
cupied a second place in the manage
ment of the world s affairs. Yet Eve
must have possessed superior mental
qualities or she could never have led
Adam into such evil ways, and the
circumstances attending Ewes un-
happy interview with Adam all point
to the fact that Eve was mentally
Adams superior.
Notwithstanding the fact that i'm
the beginning woman was second in the
race, it has been demonst rated beyond
cLvil that mother love is the hOlieSt,
pureSt passion Of the human heart
The mother instinct is almost super
natural. Even the brute mother will
die for her offspring and when the
light dies out Of the mothers eye, no
OUlICI CJCs obNC Oi1C OfC vi sCllJItp'-
tence will ever follow the child in all
his wanderingS as she Eas done.
1t is not pleasant TO record the
truth that there are mothers. who
have sacrificed motherhood To worldly
ambition, and the most unhappy
women on earth are those who have
set aside filial ties in order to live
lives of social frivolity, and the time
comes to all such, when the bloom OF
youth fOrSakeS the cheek. and the fire
IF youth dies out of the eye. Such
often turn to their homes fOrsympathy
and love, only to find that they too
have vanished with the + personal
charms, and when it is too late the
sad truth dawnS upon them that they
are unhonored and unloved. The
path # duty is the only safe path, let
it be ever 81 thOrny, and the only safe
guide-bOard points to the Christian
home.
There is no earthly tie so strong or
SO sacred as that of motherhood So
ciety is held together by socIal ties
Civic societies are boun by money and
oathS. These obligations are like
girthS of steel, yet none hold like the
marriage bond when inviolated and un-
polluted by vile theories.
There is only villanous abomina-
tions in the doctrine that leads crea- |
ture, called by courtesy a man, to an
nounce that a transfer OF his affec- |
tions warrants breach Of loyalty and |
deSertionS Of one who has become his !
wife and the mother of his children.
No guise OF prophecy can cover so vile |
a principle; no charm Of poetry can
gid so hateful treason, and the

GOOD MOTHERS.

1t is claimed that all the presidents
of the United States had good mothers.
1t is said that John q. Adams until
the day OF bis death said the prayer
his mother had taught him. Lincoln
said, "All that | am owe my mother. "
Garfield kissed the wrinkled face Of
his mother on the day of his inaugura-
tion and said, You brought me to
this" Grover Cleveland said, World
ly honors or worldly perplexities will
never cause me to forget The lessons
my mother taught me-" AS the
shadows lengthen, the memory of a
mothers love becomes intensified.
The vision grown dim with age be-
comes clear and pictures Of childhood
may rise before us in their perfectiOnS.
1t is well SO few instances are on record
where a mother has failed to impress
her children with the value and purity
of a mothers loqe. Most of our great
men accord to their mothers the credit
Of their best achievements. The
moral nature of the child is largely
what he inheritS from his mother.
Genius often comes from the father.
We often see sons of plain, uneducated
mothers rise to eminence. y mother
may be morally and mentally strong
yet physically SO weak she can give to
nature, and this child will grow into
passive creature who will never cause
ripple in the world S affairs.
To emphasize the influence of the
mother physiolOgically is unnecessary
in our day when everyone has his
quota of scientific knowledge. Queen
Victoria was grand sample Of perfect
motherhood. This queenly woman
and womanly queen has had an in
fuence upon the world in wifehoOd and
motherhood. The mother of Napoleon.
Marie BamOlinO, was not what is
termed an educated woman. She
married at the age of sweet SIXTEEN"
yet developed into a very strong char
acter. 1t is claimed by his biographerS
that Napoleon inherited his firm will
and lofty ambition from his mother
and not from his easy going father.
Napoleon said Of his mother, 'She
has the head of a man on the shoulders
of d woman" and he always went to
her for counsel in the important affairs
Of life, yet he did not always follow
her advice. We shall not venture to
speak Of Mary Ball, the mother of
Washington, further than to say size
was woman of high temper and in
spirit. Her nephew, Law
renee Washington, who occasionally
visited in the Washington home said,
Il was ten times more afraid Of my
aunt than of my parents: my aunt was
the presiding genius Of the the home
and she awed me by her kindness.

Startling Increase in Immi-

Washington special in Mon
days Charlotte Observer I'm
migration to the United States
from foreign countries is increas
Ing at a startling rate. Where it
will cease is a problem which is
confronting the officials of the
country. Already the facilities
for the handling of immigrants
at the various large ports in the
country are taxed to the utmost
and, within a few months, it has
become necessary to enlarge
these facilities in order that alb
solute hardship shall not be
worked on the incoming aliens.
Plans have been prepared for
large additions to the accomoda-
tions Of the great immigration
station on Ellis Island, New
York bay. These additions can
not be made without authority
from Congress, but it is expected
that, at its next session, Con-
gress will authorize the exendi
'ure of, approximately, 100000
in increasing the facilities at
the Ellis Island station.

young teacher, was thrown from
his mule Saturday afternoon

The Fitzpatrick Brothers,
Formerly of Lancaster but
now in Washington, GA,
Making Progress with their
Great Water Power and
Railroad Enterprises.
From the Washington Gazette
Chronicle.

Mr.. Il. M. Fitzpatrick return
ed home on Monday from a very
pleasant and successful trip to
New York, and informs us that
the arrangements for financing
the great enterprise of develop
ing Anthony Shoals and build
ing the two railroads from Wash
ington to the Shoals and to
Lncolnton are moving along as
smoothly as could be desired.
The financiers who have been
approached in regard to the mat
ter are as fully convinced Of the
great possibilities of the under
taxing as the many other people
who have been investing worth
OF this magnificent power for
the past several years. Several
ot the best engineers in the I'm.
lted States have made survey of
these shoals, and all with one
accord agree that an immense
power can be developed at as
low cost as any where in this
country.
Mr.. Lester, the civil engineer
who was employed by Messrs,
Il. M. Fitzpatrick d Bro. has
spent many months at the shoals
making surveys, and these have
been more thorough than anv
that have gone before. The more
thoroughly these shoals are sur
veyed and the power calculated
the more convinced all are of
the great value of the power as
commercial factor.
We learn that when rhe great
dam Is constructed, the water
impounded will be the second
er third largest volume in this
country. 1t will form a lake
about twenty miles long, and in
some places two or three miles
wide.
The writer often has the
question asked him if these
shoals are going to be develop.
ed by these gentlemen who now
have this enterprise in hand. We
can not speak ex cathedra, but
from what we have seen and
learned about this pr sseat move
ment, and the work and expense
that have been pat srrsh, we
are convinced beysnI an ques-
tion of doubt that this power
will be harneIsed and uGlixed
for commercial pup oses just as
soon as so great as undertaking
can be carried forward 10 com
pleiion.
Hs value to she parties who
are interested as wen as to this
