Everything Grows.
,borO Industrial News.


The inimitable Col. AL FairbrOther,
editor. publisher owner and general
factotum OF Everything, has come to
the conclusion that the child OF his
brain and energy has become too
hefty an infant for him to manage
alone and unaided.
The consequence is the Organlza-
ton of the Everything Publishing
Company, with Colonel Fairbrother
as president, W. H. Ross as vice
president, and Charles q. Harrison,
as secretary and treasurer, the new
company being in reality an amalga-
nation of Everything with the Har-
risOn Printing Company, concern
that for years been in the job print
ing business.
Mr.. Ross is a new man in the COM
binatiOn. and comes from Hearst $
Boston Sunday American, to which
paper he went from the New York
Herald. Mr. Ross comes as associate
editor, being, in the words of Colonel
FairbrOther, "a writin' man
The publication itself will continue
to be as it has always been, except
perhaps a little more SO. both as to
quality and quantity. The current
number makes its fifth birthday,
four OF the five having been spent in
Greensboro. At first Il monthly, it
has doubled its size and its frequency
OF issue, and now occupies position
as firmly established as it is unique
in the business world.
May it<an1 those who make it live
long and prosper-for it is one of the
few publications coming within our
ken that tells the truth as it sees the
truth and speak its thoughts as it
thinks them.

A Monument to Nye.
Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Richmond TimesDispatch.
Twelve or fifteen years ago Bill Nye
was regarded as one of the greatest
humOrists of the day. He was dis
tinctivey a Southern product, al
though there was IL Western flavor
in much OF his work. He did not con-
tribute to literature, and while many
of his best efforts and writings have
been preserved, the volume somehow
is unattractiye to this generation,
which is lavish in its praise of the
yellow, or funny; page. Nye died Il
poor man. His widow still resides
near Ashevile, and at last accounts
was preparing to open boarding
house. Her husband is almost for
gotten, except by the craft, and now
comes report that at the meeting
of the Association of the American
Press Humorists, in Los Angeles, a
movement will be started to provide
funds for the erection of a monument
to his memory. 1t was not until late
in life that Nye began to write copy
righted articles. He received royal
ties instead of space rates, but his in
come was limited, and he was not
paid i'll dance with the value
placed Ii Ill his stories in that day.
his new farm and his field of rye, out
of which he said he expected to har
vest at least pint. His sarcasm,
too, was biting, and on one occasion
he remarked that he could stand on
high mountain near Asheville and
look toward the ocean with such
powerful eyes that he could see OBJ
jects as small as Tillman.
The brightest of Bill Nye's sayings,
however, was that classic music was
better than it sounded. 1t combines
wit and wisdom with the skill of gen
Jus.
Two years ago, when the Virginia
and North Carolina Prees AssOcia-
tons met at Asheville, a clever wo-
man, who was an admirer of Nye,
asked for a contribution from each
association to mark the humorist's
grave with granite shaft. The
money was cheerfully contributed,
and other press associations also
contributed to the fund. We have
never heard, however, whether or not
enough money was raised for the
purpose.

Dixie Land and Hash.
Norfolk Nirginian-Pilot.

Norfolk Yirginian-Pilot
The superficiality of Stannard
Bakers peep into Southern condi-
tions is amply shown by his unquali-
fled assertion that down here we do
not eat hash. There is q flavor about
some parts of Bakers articles which
suggests that while in Dixie he as
ISOLATED largely with that .class to
which ashcake and fried bacon are
sufficient when 'possum is not in sea-
son. Certainly he did not patronize
the Anglo-SaXon or even the Georgia
boardlng-hOuses in Atlanta to any
extent. Else he would have had
practical proof, and plenty oft, that
hash has its regular days in the South
ern menu. Second day after Joint of
beef, third day after turkey, etc. But
at the most genteel establishments
1t goes by the name of ''stew" and
the sensitive landlady is much offend
ed II the nice distinction is not OBJ
served. Maybe Baker struck one of
thar sort and was so deceived. She
generally wears corkscrew curls with
bangs OF different shade, and tells
you with a strong Indiana accent)
that she used to live on the coast
beio' the war where her Pa ran d

ana eleven negroes. But it is hash all
the same!

Go to Work.
Exchange Home Circle Department

Exchange Home Circle Department
Young man, go to work! There is
no time to idle now. You must carve
out your own way If it is ever success
fully carved. You must seek your
fortune through industry, persever
ance and pluck. Labor is honorable
and the ignoble are those who will
not work. Get you home. Fence
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 a
man without prosperity, business
habits, unless you wish to sell your
self for mess of pottage. Again we
would reiterate, young man, go to
work; while ten men watch for
chances one man makes a 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
AMI toll, and if you would wiz, go to
work

The Editors Song.

How dear to my heart is the steady sub
scriber.
Who pays in advance, without skipping
year;
Who lays down his dollar, and offers it
gladly,
And casts round the Office a halo of cheer.
Who never says, "Stop it, cannot afford
iti'
Or, Getting more papers each day, than
read
But always says, ''Send it, the whole outfit
likes it
In fact we regard it u business need
How welcome is he when he steps in the

How he makes ''our heart" throb, how he
makes .'our eye" dancel
We outwardly thank him-we iRwaI dly bless
him

The trea tment that wOmankind re-
ceives in the proverbs of various
people forms the subject CT an article
by l.. Flobert in the Paris GauIois.
Among the Spanish maxims one of
the gentlest is Women and mules
obeay better when caressed than CO.
creed" Another is ''The man wins
much who loses his wife" -
Here are a few more: -
Man is tow; woman is fire and the
devil blows the bellows.
The tears of women are worth
much, though they cost little.
The fox is cunning but the woman
who loves knows more than he.
The proverbs of the Arabs place
very low value on woman. Here are
samples:
The beauty ofman is in his spirit; the
spirit of woman is in her beauty.
Always consult you wife, but do as
you please.
When you want toget square with
a man give him a handsome wife:
when you want revenge Oh woman,
give here u handsome husband.
The Hindus are not much more re-
spectful than the Arabs. They say:
The coquette is like your shad-
ow; chase her and she flies from you,
flee from her and she chases you,
Do you want to test the fneness of
gold? Use acid. The strength Of an
OK? Beat it. The nature of a man?
Let him talk. The thoughts of
woman? There's no way.
Next comes the cynical Chinaman
with a cutting maXhm:
The tongue of a woman Is a dag
ger and she never let's it grow rusty.
The spirit of woman is of quicksil-
yer and heart is of wax.
Piles get quick and certain relief from II
Shops Magic Ointment. Please note it il

tive and certain. Itching, painful ,protruding
or blind piles disappear like magic by its use

Where Butler Stands.
Wilmington Messenger

Wilmington Messenger.
The Durham Herald Photographer
shows intimate acquaintance with
the character OF Marion Butler as
sized up by the people OF the latter's
State when it declares that 'if there
be five millions of dollars on the
other side one cannot understand
why Mr.. Butler should be siding
With the president.
Here is q fippant squib, written
perhaps on the spur of the moment,
without thought as to the depth OF
the stab that it makes into the
vitals of the man against whom the
stroke il made. 1t is home thurst
and if Butler had any self-respect or
sense of decency in politics it would
make a wound that would never heal.
A random stroke it may have been,
but it went to the vital spot and In
IA few words it laid bare the character
of the man among his own people.
1t shows what a leading paper OF the
State believes to be the estimate the
people of his State have placed on
Marion Butler.

An old negro preacher of southern
Georgia had been given fine fat
'possum by some of bis admirers and
was keeping it in a barrel, feeding it
heavily to still further increase it's
weight. He had decided to have it
killed the next day, when, to- his
rage, it was stolen in the night.
Shortly afterwards revival meet
ing was being held, and among those
who went up to the mourners bench
was certain very black Jim, and
his grief seemed inconsolable.
