The Professional Loafer.
Charlotte News.

Charlotte News.
A sort OF distorted conception OF
the gentleman once existed among
contain classes of our people in re-
gard to those habits and practices
necessary to the making of what was
implied in the "gentleman.' In the
memory ofeven the younger genera
ton the word" gentleman OF leisure
was a conspicuous character decade
or soago. This character was pro-
not SO numerous in some sections as
balyin others, but certain it is that ten
years ago the crop OF gentlemen OF
leisure" or, to describe them more
correctly, the loafers, was far greater
than it is today. Once a young man
of good family connections-with a
family tree upon which some limb or
other had distinguished itselfin some
way or other-could pass year in and
year out in supreme idleness and not
receive any serious amount OF criti-
cism from his neighbors. In other
words, the job Of loafing was consid-
cred, to say the least, respectable
with most of the folks, and absolute
ly the thing, with few. The young
"bloods'" as they termed themselves,
lived q life as free from strenuous
as was possible.
But as the days have passed and
gone, times and customs have
changed, and the gentleman Of today
is entirely different from the gentle
man OF yesterday.
Today, instead of being u disgrace
for young man of social prominence
and wealth to get down to manuael
labor, it is decidedly honorable, and
so considered by all people whose
opinions are worth consideration.
Today the young man who is not
actually compelled to work in order
to keep the wolffrom the door, works
because he knows that he should; be-
cause he feels that. there is too much
to be done for idling.
True, in almost every town and
city there are a few professional leaf
ers. They are in Charlotte-though
not in great numbers-and wher-
ever found they are looked upon with
diapproval. Men Of today, the men
who are bringing things to pass, have
no time or patience for the ''gentle-
man OF leisure."' When they have
positions to be filled they search for
the hand that is hardened from
from toll; they look for the young
man who don't blush and hesitate
when called upon torolluph his sleeves
and work
No better change has been wrought
in this age than this. The gentle
man OF today is a worker, and proud
that he is, and, narrowed to it's last
analysis, he may scarcely lay claim
to that title unless he is a worker.

The Castronomic Joys Of Corn
Meal.

Joel Chandler Harris in Uncle L mus $ Maya
zine for November
But corn meal if such a rich and
versatile product that lends itself to
all days and all meals. For break
fast it can be turned into battercakes
light and luscious, Or into waffies
that melt III ones mouth, or into
mullins which take on new sweetness
in their tin boundaries; or you can
have your corn in the shape of grits,
yellow with butter, of happy digesti-
bility.
Then, for dinner, there is the corn
POne, large, brown and hot from the
oven, ready to be seasoned with a
sauce OF butter, and washed
down with freshly churned butter
milk, with an accompaniment of
cabbage or cOllards, or turnip salad,
or new snap-beans. If for any rea-
son the cOrn-pOne is not desirable
though the farmer cannot imagine
anything that can take its place
with healthy and an expectant ap-
petite-there are the dumplings to fall
back on, the dumplings boiled with
amess of greens. This dish is a time
and space-saver. The dumplings
should by any chance be allowed to
togrow cold before serving. For sup
per, there is the hoe-cake, which
should be ola generous thickness, and
1T should be eaten with gravy distilled
from the juices of a country cured
ham; or, if you please, dish of mush
and milk. And, then, the days work
being over and done with. the tired
man or woman, and the children,
weary with play, may fall on their
couches and forget, in sweet and
dreamless slumber, the grizzly
troubles OF the world.
1t is not to be denied, however,
that the products of maize have
been losing popularity in this
country; they seem to be going out
OF fashion: they are a little too
coarse for the tender threats of the
generation that has come and the
one that is coming. The tastes of
the people are growing somewhat
different; patent medicines and pre-
digested foods, made of nobody
knows what, seem 80 go together,
and with these have come new forms
OF indigestion, dyspepsia, nervous
diseases, and new causes of worry.
There is an idea in the minds of the
new generation that corn and all the
varieties of food, all the toothsome
dishes, that are derivable therefrom,
are to be left to those whose tastes
are common, and whose associations
must be low. This, consciously or
nnconsciously, is the view of a consid-
cradle number of those who are to
take mp the destinies of the Republic
and carry them little way on their
long Journey, and this is curious,
too, when we think of the nature OF
our political fabric. Are we to
change our principles and beliefs by
means of change of diet?

Old Fashioned Mother.
Raleigh Evening Times.

!. Raleigh Evening Times.
The Moore County News sings OF
'The Old Fashioned Mother" The
extract, wi we reproduce here, was
written by o man who must have had
such a mother as he describes. Surely
no man could write SO lovingly, SO
tenderly Of women who has not been
blessed by one. We quote from the
News:
Thank God some OF US have and others
have had, an old fashioned mother; not
a woman OF the period, enameled and
painted, with her great chignon, her
curls and hustle, whose while j-Weled
hands have never felt the clasp of baby
fingers. but q dear. old fashioned. sweet
voiced mother, with eyes in which the
loye-light shone, and brown hair threaded
with silver lying smooth upon her faded
cheek Those dear hands, worn with
toll gently guided our tottering steps In
childhood, and smoothed our pillows in
sickness. even reaching out in yearning
tenderness when her sweet spirit was
baptized in the pearly spray OF the river:
Blessed is the memory OF an old fashioned
mother. 1t floats to US now, like the
beautiful perfume OF some woodland
blossoms.
The music OF other voices may be lost
but the enhancing memory of hers will
echo in our souls forever. Other faces
will fade away and be forgotten, but
hers will shine on until the light from
Heavens portals shall glorify our own.
When in the fitful pause OF busy life
our feet wander back to the old home
stead, and crossing the well-worn thresh
or
quaint room, as hallowed by her pres
ence, how the feeling OF childish innocence,
and dependence comes over us, and we
kneel down in the inottle sunshine stream
ing through the Western window-just
where in the long years ago, we knelt by
our mothers knee, lisping "Our Father"
How many times when the temper lured
us on has the memory OF those sacred
hours, that mothers words, her faith
and prayers saved US from sin. Years
have filled great drifts over between her
and us, but they have not hidden from
our sight the glory of her pure unselfih
love.
We think the News is unjust to the
woman of today. She lives more in
the open, attends more social func-
tions and dresses more lavishly than
her mother did, but if fault there is,
it must not be placed at her door; it
must be attributed to the time in
which she lives. We find no fault
with women for wearing jewels and
dressing as they may desire; those
are privileges OF theirs. We agree
with our contemporary, however, in
all that it says regarding the women
who paint.

A Triumph of Science.
New Bern Sun, Oct. Goth.

New Bern Sun, Oct. Goth
The beginning of wireless telegra-
ply communication across the Allan
poses, which took place on Thursday,
is a great event in the worlds histo-
ry. says the Baltimore Sun. 1t is
one of the most conspicuous of the
many triumphs of science and an
other of the marvellous benefits which
the students, the theorists and the
men of science have conferred upon
mankind. Nothing more advances
human civilization nor serves to
knit men together in one fellowship
than free communication and COLI
slant intercourse. That the relations
of the people of the world will be
made closer and more friendly by
this easier and cheaper method of
communication cannot be doubted.
1t is want of knowledge of each other
that most frequently produces nation
al antipathies and hOstilites. There
fore every additional avenue Of COM
munication advances civilization
and good feeling.
Thursday q number of press mes
sages passed between Grace Bay,
Nova Scotia and Clfden, Ireland,
and were transmitted thence to their
several destinations. it is announced
that the instruments can receive or
transmit as many as 20 words a min
ute with ease and accuracy. When the
Atlantic cable opened for business the
81, 80,
word and has remained at that for
about 20 years. The press rate by
wire is ten cents a word. MarcOni
begins his service with a charge of 10
cents a word for general business
and 5 cents word for news, and
these comparatively low rates are
announced with the promise of radi-
cal reductions in the future.
While Thursday witnessed the open
ing of commercial business across
the ocean by wireless telegraphy, the
| messages sent then are not the first
that have been SO transmitted. The
| first wireless message was sent across
the ocean from POldhu, in Cornwall,
the southwestern country of England,
to temporary station in Newfound-
land, near st. Johns in December,
1901. Since that time Marconi, with
the active aid of the Italian Govern
ment, has been perfecting his appa-
ratus, which object has now, it is
! confidently announced, been accom-
plished.
The perfecter of this marvellous
system of sending messages more
than , 900 miles through the air is an
Italian only 33 years of age Mr..
Carnegie said in a speech in Edin-
| burgh the other day that there is no
| better test Of responsibility than a
good balance in bank or title deeds.
Whether Marconi has a bank bal
ance or title deeds, whether he dies a
pauper or not, his name will be a
household word when the name of
| every millionaire now living, who
has no other title to fame than his
millions shall have been forgotten
