MALARIAL DISEASES.
How to Avoid Them and the Sc

leCt.

"Fix me up something to knock the
malaria, DOCTOR" remarked a sallow-
faced, sickly looking man, entering
prominent physicians Office the other
day.
The doctor stepped to his medicine
case, took down couple of bottles, mixed
a preparation which he handed to the
patient with the customary advice to
shake we'll and follow directions,' and
resumed his seat.
"Such cases are frequent" replied the
doctor in answer to a question. "The
warm days and damp, chilly nights are
certain malaria breeders and are most
serious in those who have neglected to
keep their stomach, liver and bowels in
good condition. Such persons are full
of the impurities on which the malarial
germ thrives, and it is from this class
that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright's
Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim
most of their victims whenever these dis
eases are prevalent.
The proper way to guard against the
malarial germ and the serious diseases
which follow it is to get into good condi-
ton by taking a reliable remedy that
will keep the bowels clear and the liver
healthy, and to continue with it at fire.

ASCENSION SERVICE.
MaSOnS Commemorate the AS
cenSiOn of the Savior.

Yalobusha Commandery No. 20
celebrated the ascension of the Saw
ior Of the world with appropriate
service at Masonic hall on Thursday
night. The fraternity invited their
wives and daughters and goodly
number Of them graced the occasion
with their presence.
The Sir Knights made very
handsome showing in their uniforms
and plumage. A number OF appro-
pirate hymns were sung after which
Rev. j. w. Lee made twenty min
uteS address in which he endeavored
to show the religious teachings of
masonry.
He said that no man could become
master mason without profeSSian
of belief in God and that no man
could become a member Of the Com
mandery without profession Of be-
lief in the saving efficacy of Christ.
Mr.. Lee elaborated beautifully on the
miraculous birth and life of the Saw
ior and what His earthly mission
meant to the world. He said that
Lazarus and others had been miracu-
lously brought to life again, that they
had been reSuScitated but that Jesus
was the only one who had been res
| directed. He said that after the Saw
ior' resurrection he put on a spiritual
body SO that He entered room where
His disciples were when all the doors
and windows were closed and departed
in the same way, leaving His follow
erS in bewilderment. He referred to
the promise made by Jesus that when
He went away that He would send the
Holy Spirit to be and remain with
His people. Mr.. Lees delneation of
the ascension as Jesus parted from
His disciples and begun his return to
His heavenly home was inspiring in
deed.
The whole service was very help
full one and can but strengthen the
great hold masonry has upon the be-
lieving world.

Mrs. John Middleton died on May
3 at her home near Chapel Hill in the
eastern portion of the county after
a lingering illness Of perhaps twelve
months. She was about forty years
old and had been a member OF the
Methodist church since her childhood.
The writer did not have she pleasure
of knowing Mrs. Middleton, but she
is spoken of as a lady Of fine christian
character and one whose influence was
felt for good in her community. Her

Great War EieEies.


The death recently Of the author Of
the well known poem, '.The Blue and
the Gray" recalls the singular fact
that the three most popular war elegies
have been written by one poem authors.
The late Judge Francis Miles Finch
wrote more than one poem. ths same Of
Theodore O'Hara, author Of The
Bivouac Of the Dead" but 1t u not be-
nsved that Charles Wolfe wrote any
published verse other than the one
which handed his name down to pos
terity. The Burial of Sir John Moore"
All three won their lasting fame by .
single burst of elegiac inspiration.
Each of the poems here considered
sprang from the feelings of the authors
who produced them. Charles Wolfe
was a fellow countrymen Of General
Moore and was deeply moved by the
pathos Of the British soldiers tragic
death and burial in foreign land:
No useless comm inclosed. his breast.
Nor In sheet nor shroud we wound him:
But he lay like a warrior taking his rest
With his martial cloak around him.
Colonel O'Hara took part In the con-
secration Of the bivouac Of his fallen
comrades OF the Mexican battlefelds.
Echoes of the past therefore surged
through the brain that was inspired
to begin memorial poem with the
lines:
The muffied drums sad roll has beat
The soldiers last tattoo;
No more on LIES parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few.
On Fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread.
And Glory guards with solemn round
The bivouac Of the dead.
Judge Finch was not a soldier, but
the heart of born poet and the cour-
age of patriot conjured the pen when
it spanned the still yawning "blOody
chasm" with the benediction:
No more shall the war cry sever
Or winding rivers be red.
They Danish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves of our
dead!
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the judgment day;
Love and tears for the Blue.
Tears and love for the Gray.
At the time Of Its birth and In COM
parison with the thrilling lines Of
Wolfe and O'Hara the civil war poem
was looked upon as simple to the verge
of fatal barrenness. But the greatest
sermons are the simplest. The idea
which inspired "The Blue and the
Gray" back in the later sixties had to
grow, and it did grow until today it
fills and even thrills the heart of the
nation.

Easy Prey to Flames.

So often have the flames devastated
New Yorks big playground that the
announcement "Coney Island In Ruins"
no longer startles. The buildings are
fimsy and offer the best possible
chance for the progress Of small
flicker into great confagration.
Yet Coney Island always RECEIVERS
from its disasters. Notwithstanding
the virtually prohibitive insurance rates
amusement enterprises are launched to
replace those burned out, and the avail
able space is covered as quickly as pos
sible. The investments at Coney Is
land mount high into the millions and
stand for keen business enterprise and
nervy risks. Every man who plants
dollar there in any form of entertain
ment device takes bis chances with
the flames. But 1t is good risk. Hav-
Ing population Of several millions to
draw upon, his public is assured and
his patronage Is virtually certain, espe-
cially If he has novelty. The man
who can devise some new scheme of
subjecting the human system to shocks
and thumps and thrills and emotions
and can get foothold at Coney Island
Is in a fair way to become a million
aire.
New York regards Coney Island with
a proud proprietary air. This is nat
ural. There is something typical of
the metropolis in the great aggregation
sf side shows, spectacles, freaks and
excitement producers on the seashore
No wonder the fakirs and the freaks
prosper there. No wonder the work
Of rebuilding is begun before the en-
bers Of the latest fire are cool. There
is money to be made every minute.
Money is spent, indeed, at Coney Is-
land literally by the hundred thou
sands In nickel and dime contributions.
And In fourteen years flames have lick
ed up nearly $5,0OO,OOO. along with its
gaudy, tlnder-like equipment.

Th. P.tho. Of Kore.'s Plight

Despite the efforts to keep the Ko-
rean situation in the dark or at least
prevent the truth being noised to the
world the story Of Japan's treatment Of
the Hermit Kingdom is becoming
known Our own relation to the pres
ent case IL peculiar, for by treaty the
United States at one time undertook to
guarantee the integrity of Korea. De-
velopments In the far east in recent
years are held by diplomats to have alb
solved this country from its obliga-
uons. Korea has Itself made treaties
with Japan which the nations must
rscognise. the United States as we'll
- others.
Il u always q sad spectacle to wit
ness the struggles Of a people to pre-
serve their ancient liberties. But the
spectacle is not new for US. Early In
the nineteenth century the liberals OF
Europe looked for the Intervention Of
this country at the time of the dis
msmberment Of Poland. More recent
ly the Boer cause appealed to our sym
pathies as the champion Of the rights
OF man. But while posing as an asylum
for the politically oppressed the Ameri
can republic has never set up as the
physical champion Of oppressed peo-
pies Of the old world. Otherwise we
would long. ago have interposed against
the atrocities Of Turkey, the oppression
In Russia and above all the cruelties
Of the Belgian Kongo rule.
China was Korea's natural protector
a. against Japanese aggression, and
Russia stood next. The defeat Of Chi
na by Japan In 1895 was the beginning
Of the end. Ten years later Russia
recognized by the treaty Of Portsmouth
Japan's right to exercise protectorate
over Korea. The moral side of the
case remains to be developed. Japan
claims to be engaged in q laudable and
bene6cent enterprise In Korea. And
she now has free hand except as the
natives themselves put up fight Of
resistance.

Railroads on the Defensive.

For year or more the railroads have
been catching 1t" from all sides. Con-
gress has given the Interstate COM
merce commission increased power in
the matter Of fixing rates, and more
than half Of the states-nearly two
or shown strong inclination to pass
them limiting the powers and privileges
Of lines doing business within their
limits. What the ultimate effect of all
the restrictions enacted or impending
will be upon the usefulness and pros
perity Of the roads is most uncertain
The general plea of the railway Off
cials against government restrictions
Is that II enforced the net earnings Of
the lines affected will be reduced.
Lower freight and passenger rates cut
down earnings, and higher priced labor
and materials increase expenses. Econ
Omies hamper the service and lead to
public complaints.
1t Is well for all concerned that the
railroads test the new laws In the
courts. The situation will be clearer
when the railway officials know the
limit Of government power and the
farthest reach Of the arm of the law
in regulating" private interests. 1t is
pretty plain that retaliation and re-
prisal on the part of the roads will de-
feat the end in view. Tactics Of that
nature have gone unrebuked In the
past, but in the present state of the
public mind they will only make bad
matter worse. Retaliation is certain to
breed antagonism. A frank and candid
policy, especially II 1t shall prove that
adverse legislation Is oppressive to the
point Of suppression, will the surest
lead to peace. The people have sense.
They have been the best friends of
the railroads and will be glad to have
1t appear that the lines under fire are
still worthy of confidence and support
as private corporations.

Kansas. under special provision, the

Some states are stern, in their de-
clslon as to whom one may marry.
Marriage between white and persons
OF negro descent is prohibited in
twenty-six states. Marriage between
whites and Indians is prohibited in
four states, and between white and
Chinese in five states. In Virginia a
provision of old English Common
Law is still in force which prohibits
man from marrying his deceased
wife's sister. though other states have
laws permitting woman to marry
any and all of her brothers-in-law
who may be willing, provided of
course she marries them one at a
time. Connecticut forbids feeble mind
ed women to marry. New Jersey de-
cideS that as the deaf and dumb do
not come under the head Of imbeciles
they may marry within her borders.
The law makers of Vermont have
gravely ruled that man may marry
Ibis mother-in-law if he likes. Tn
! some states man is, prohibited from
marrying his SON. s wife and woman
from marrying her daughters hus-
band. Ohio forbids the marriage of
drunkard, and will actually refuse
to grant a license to man who is
drunk when he asks for it.
The laws of the states also differ
widely as to marriage of divorced
people: In twenty-six states the di-
vorced may remarry when, how and

nine states drunkenness is ground for
absolute divorce. In Georgia if both
husband and wife drink, neither can
obtain q decree. In Nevada divorce
for drunkenness is granted only when
it is proved that the man cannot sup
port his family, while in Kentucky
evidence must also be provided to
show that the drunken husband is
"wasting his estate"
The present variation Of the mar
riage laws throughout the states is
said to be largely responsible for the
prevailing muddle in divorces. Only
eleven state constitutions treat the
subject of marriage at all. An old
statute of Pennsylvania requires
twelve witnesses to marriage, some
two, some one and some none at all
In New York practically no ceremony
beyond registry is required. A man
gave woman ring saying: "This
is your wedding ring" and the courts
held it to be valid marriage. In
South Carolina person convicted of
bigamy is disqualified from being
