BattIeship Kansas No Longer Hoodoo

 Instantly there was noticeable change in the attitude of the tackles toward the big fighting machine So long as she had been baptized with nothing but bot tie of water from John Brown Spring, in Kansas. they would have nothing to do with her.
 They maintained that a ship christened with water could come to no good end. She got plenty of water anyway. and the omens demanded that she should have a bottle of champagne to start with.

Go to Work.

Says a level-headed writer: "Young
man, 60 to work! There is no time
to idle now You must carve out
your own way if it isever successfully
carved. You must seek your for
tune through industry, perseverance
and pluck. Labor is honorable, and
the ignoble are those who will not
work. Get you a home Fence a
field and pillow it and gather around
you the comforts of a home. And
when you have made character for
industry and thrift, ask some lady to
share your home with you. We
would say to every young lady,
mark these men who are lounging
around attempting to live by their
wits, or on the interest of their debts;
and when they ask you to share the
lot OF an aimless life pass them on,
for you cannot afford to marry
man without prosperity or business
habits, unless you wish to sell your
self for a mess of pottage. Again we
would reiterate, young man, go to
work; while ten men watch for
chances, one man makes chance;
while ten men wait for something to
turn up, one turns something up;
while ten men fail, one succeeds, and
is called the man of luck, the favorite
of fortune. Luck and fortune are the
result of honest endeavor, work and
toll, and if you would win, go to
work.

Make Home Happy.

Exchange Home Circle Department
We often read how the wife is to
make home the brightest spot on
earth. She is always to wear a cheer
full countenance as we'll as the clean
est of dresses and collars; and to
have becomingly arranged hair and
ever to meet her other half at the
door with kiss. The house must
be always smiling in its orderly way;
children ditto; baby no exception to
the general rule.
Now the great wonder is has the
husband nothing to do in this mat
ter of making home happy? To be
sure he may do a great deal towards
making home. He builds the house
and furnish it in princely style. He
may furnish an abundance of food for
for table-buy any amount OF fine
clothing for the family need. Yet he
is cross and surly as swapping tur-
tie or unsocial or careless in his hab-
it's or unsympathizing with his wife
and little ones. All that the wife can
do will not make the home an agree
able one. Neither can wife be hap
DIV with q husband who is addicted to
finding fault with bread-and-butter.
She may try ever so hand to please
him, yet when he sits down to meals,
she lives in constant fear that some
| portion OF the food will not suit his
| fastidious taste.

Rev. A. R. Shaw.

Noting the fact that Rev. A. R.
Shaw and family are away i'm the
mountain section taking a vacation.
the Charlotte Observer SAYS this:
Mr.. Shaw has been in Charlotte Ter g
than two years, and yet during his brit I
pastorate he has grown to be one of the
most popular and one OF the best loved
OF the city's pastors. He is admired
also as one Of the best preachers in Char
lotte. Under his direction the Tenth
Avenue (Presbyterian) church has grown
rapidly, and every phase of the work of
the church is advancing satisfactorily.
There is membership of several hun
dred persons in this church. and the fact
that not one OF them is known to the
pastor to violate the rules of the church
by indulgence in card playing, dancing or
other forms of worldly amusement has
received much notice throughout the
State
Mr.. Shaw is untiring in his work for
his church, in the pulpit and in the
homes OF his people, and no pastor in
the city is more deserving of the vaca-
ton he is now taking.
Mr.. Shaw was formerly pastor of
the Henderson Presbyterian church
and his hosts of friends here will read
with interest and appreciation the
above complimentary reference to
him.

Its fame has gone throughout the

Mr.. j. H. Beall. OF Lenoir, for q copy
OF the Fairbanks alaska, Evening
News, of June 9Th, containing a copy
righted article on the Mecklenburg
Declaration of Independence In a
we'll written story is recited the his
tory of the Declaration, a part of
which is embodied. There is a cor
rect cut of the monument and the
Mecklenburg county court house.
The conclusion arrived at as to the
authenticity of the Declaration is not
sympathetic, but the concluding
paragraph, after the sturdiness of
the people OF the county, and the glo-
-rious record the State made in the
civil war, have been dwelt upon, is
certainly not lacking in that quality
There ought not to be patriotic

What Must Be Thought of Such
Lawyers.

Greenville Reflector.
We wonder what can be the opinion
OF the people of the State as to those
lawyers who fought so hard in favor
of the railroads to break down the
sovereignty of the State. OF course
a lawyer has legal right to accept
a fee and work on either side of a
case he chooses, but how any citizen
of a commonwealth can deliberately,
for the sake of putting money in his
pocket, set to work to destroy the
rights of State and take away her
sovereignty in executing her own
laws, is hard to understand. To say
the least of such men, we do not see
how they can be regarded as good
citizens.

We do not agree with the Record
