AS we go forward and meet the
years, each is q messenger that tells
us pleasant story of the land to
which we have taken up our pilgrim
age, and though We. may not lay
hands on them and detain them, yet
they Undue us with happy thoughts
and pleasant memories, that clothe
each coming messenger in halo-like
garments of smiles and beauty. The
journey of life is but short, but it is
long enough to teach us the idleness
and littleness of things earthly, and
that our earthly tabernacle is far too
narrow to behold the invisible fire OF
Immortality that pulses through our
being, or even to permit it to shine
forth in that brilliancy that it SO
much longs for.
Life is as beautiful as a panorama
that moves on to the great and final
climax when the curtains are drawn
and the marvellous beauty OF the
universe opens with endless vistas of
glory upon our enlarged sight, and
the dreams of the past are paled from
view in the light OF the never ending
present. The toy and the sword
make up the sum of our existence, for
the old and young are nearest
heaven. Prattling childhood and
old age walk hand in hand, and
laugh and gambol and make pretty
speeches to the birds and butterflies,
for the veil of time is but a mist to
the right and left Of them, and love
and innocence stand like cherubs by

Little Cause for Surprise.
Statesyille Landmark.

SUdUeSyllle LdnumdTk.
This from the Raleigh correspon-
dent of the Charlotte Observer:
'"There are some queer tax as
SCISSORS. Duditor Dixonstold of a case
in which a representative of a couple
of corporations asked him to assess
these, stating that in the county in
question other property had been
valued at only one-third Of it's real
value and that the assessors had
made this the rule there. Auditor
Dixon asked how in the world the
assessors could do this when the
law plainly requires them to assess
at the value of the property at a
natural sale and not at forced sale
and they are put on their oath to so
assess"
This gives one that tired feeling.
Why should the correspondent, or
Auditor Dixon, talk as if this was
something new, when as matter Of
fact everybody in the State who
knows anything about real estate
assessments knows that it is a Gus
tom to assess real property at from
one-third to one-half it's value, the
amount never, as a rule, exceeding
two-t thirds. The more valuable the
property the less the assessment in
proportion. DIR. DIXON and the as
tonished CORRESPONDENT can find this
as fact by examining the tax lists
in almost any county.

ing from the Durham Herald:
''The New Bern Sun favors ex-
Judge Shaw for Attorney General.
Judge Shaw is capable man and

There is nothing in the evidence to
show that Judge Shaw is running
with that crowd" If. there had
been you would find the Sun about
the last paper in the State to suggest
him for the office He is not one of
the spectacular or red fire order-is
not radical, if you please-but is a
man of principle and conviction who
would have respect for his oath of
office far above the din of popular
clamor, raised and held up by the
self-seeking demagog. If a corpora
tion or other. individual, guilty of
violating the law, should come under
his jurisdiction, there would be no
uncertainty or quibbling about the
steps he would take to enforce the
law; but on the other hand he would
scorn to go on dress parade about
it, and the functions of his office
would never be used by him to further
his own, or the political ambitions
of ANYBODY else.

The Wife Mistress in the Home.
Statesyille Landmark


The Supreme Court of Nebraska
has decided that a wife sis mistress
in her own home, but most of US
didn't need the Supreme Court OF
Nebraska or any other court to tell
us what we already know. In the Ne
braska case a mother-in-law was the
trouble.
The husbands mother entered the
home and undertook to run it. The
wife objected, as was natural, but the
husband either couldn't help it or
permitted his mother to continue to
boss. Thereupon the wife left and
sued her husband for separate main
tenance. He resisted on the ground
that she had left his home. The Ne
braska Supreme Court sustains the
wife. 1t says:
every wife is entitled to home
to correspond with the circumstan-
ces and conditions OF her husband,
over which she will be permitted to
preside as mistress. A wife does not
forfeit her-right to maintenance by
refusing to live in q home with and
under control of the husbands s
mother"
The decision is correct. The wife
| is entitled to a home in which she
should be the head.

Barium Orphans Home.
Conditions and Requirements Of
the Institution Pointed Out by
an Observant Correspondent.

Prof. J. N. Ingram of Cabarrus
county, in a letter to the Concord
Times says this of the Barium Springs
orphanage which we are sure will be
read with interest:
EDITOR TIMES: Some days ago
the Times republished my chapter in
the Charlotte News on fruit culture
and perfume manufacture along the
Blue Ridge. In that article mention
was made of Barium Springs Orphan
age. The subject, though pictur-
esque, was hardly appropriate for
presenting the institutions claims
and benefits. But the intention was
accOmplished-submission of the
charity, in outline. to the State.
Further details of conditions ut the
orphanage will doubtless interest
proportion of Cabarrus readers.
The orphanage shelters, trains
and educates 100 destitute and de-
serted children, left penniless, and
often friendless on the world. 1t de-
pends for water on three old wells,
whose quality is not above suspicion.
An artesian we'll, to furnish healthful
water, is needed. The buildings are
substantial and costly, erected by
donations from wealthy people;
they are at the mercy of fire; flames
could any day sweep them from the
ground. A night fire might prove
a holocaust and consume fifty chill
dren. Then there would be Grape on
many doors, and wailing throughout
the State. Waterworks are needed,
and needed badly.
Established facts prove that flies
are prolific purveyors OF disease, and
carry into dwellings, more disease
germs than do all insects extant.
An underground sewerage system,
as health preseryer, is much needed
at Barium. Prevention is better than
hospitals, drug stores, doctors and
nurses.
The orphanage chapel is completed,
with a debt hanging on it; the build
ings requires seats, and has no money
in sight. The children attend church
two miles down the railroad, and are
weekly in danger of train accidents.
The present piano is infirm and out
of voice. Anybody having an extra
better one could send it on.
The orphanage is supported by the
North Carolina Presbyterian Synod.
AS Concord is IL rich Presbyterian
stronghold it could easily arrange
some entertainments or subscrip-
Ftions to relieve present financial ne
cessities at -Barium. Weaker Pres
byterian centers would thereby be
encouraged to do likewise.
The want of additional buildings
need not be stated Twice the pres
ent capacity would not supply the
demand for orphanage accommoda-
ton. Existing facilities are more in
need of protection and equipment
than enlargement.

The Importance of Cotton.
Manufacturers Record

RECORD.
Since 1900 the value of the Sonth's s
agricultural products has increased
to at least $4,000, 0O0,OOO,.the ad-
vance between 1900 and 1906 OF
$3.50, ,0O0,0 900 being more than $780,
600, 900 greater than the advance in
the preceding 20 years. The impor-
tance to the South of the higher
price of cotton ruling since 1900 and
1901 is indicated III the fact that the
crop of 1S9S-99 OF II, ,276,OOO bales
was worth, including seed, about
1892, ,OOO,O5O: while the crop of
19O6-O7 will aggregate in value
$3.50, 100000 or more. 1t is true
that this years crop will exceed
that Of 19S9-9O by probably $780,
600 bales, but at the prices then
prevailing this difference in yield
would have made a difference of only
about $65, 100000. The real differ
ence due to the higher price will be
nearly or quite $42O,O00,OOO. While
it is conservative to put the total for
this year at $3.50, 100000, it is quite
within the range of possibility that
when the final rounding-up has been
made the real value of this season 8
crop will prove to have been not less
than about $SOO,OOO,OOO

|'Is Life Worth Living?"
An Editorial Which Is 4 Better Ser
mon Than Many Delivered From
the Pulpit.
New Bern Sun.

New Bern Sun.
Amid the SORROWS and the sighs.
the heartaches and disappointments,
and the misery and woe OF the world,
many people are prone tosask them
selvs, after all, is life worth living?
And that is where o great mistake
is made. That question should new
er be allowed to reach the point OF
discussion. We should turn from it
as we would shun evil, and in q far
different spirit earnestly ponder over
the worth of living.
Selfishness narrows our minds and
dwarfs our souls. We become des-
pondent and grow tired becuse all
that we crave does not come to US
and abide with US, simply becasue we
crave it. That is the surest road to
misery. Living with such n view
forces one down where it is dark and
dreary and cheerless and cold. 1t
does not invite sympathy or love.
A struggle to get away from such q
life brings help to abandon that
which is pulseless and dead.
To realize that life is worth living
is to know and practice the worth OF
living. It's true value lies in helping
Others, not depending always on
Others helping you. A word OF whis-
pered cheer and hope for the weak
and faltering, charity for the morally
frail and erring ones, sympathy and
love for the respondent and sorrow
full. Life is worth living to the man
OF whom at the end OF the journey,
it may be truthfuly said: "He lived
to bless mankind. He found and
knew the worth of living. II the
world is ever dark, it is dark with
such man beneath the sod.
Lille is worth living for the oppor-
tunity it gives for doing good, for
smoothing the rough pathway of the
weary and heavy-laden, for recogniz.
ing the brotherhood OF man and
pactising it in our daily intercourse
in social and business life. Turn
from gloomy and moody selishness,
and get out where there is light and
love and cheer, and blessings will
follow surely as the earth is refreshed
and clean and sweet after the storm
and rain has passed.

Some Helpful Don'ts.

Shelby Star.
We are publishing below some help
full "don'ts" which we trust may be
encouraging to the man or woman
who is struggling against what he or
she may imagine to be the old hard
luck proposition. Those OF our read.
ers who will adopt these don't ts
as guiding rules will surely not fall
far short of ultimate success.
Don't get discouraged because you
have made a mistake. There has
never been a human being who did
not make some mistakes. The hest
we can do is to try not to make the
same mistake again. In this way,
our work will become more and more
reliable.
Don't get discouraged becauseyou
are blamed for something you did
not do. Explain the matter In
straightforward manner if you can;
if YOU can't do that, circumstances
seeming to point to you as the guilty
party, just wait. Time will clear up
the whole matter and exonerate you
from all guilt.
Don't get discouraged because you
seem to be standing still in your
business life while others are forging
to the front. Do your duty faith
fully and your opportunity will sure
ly come and when you least expectlt.
Don't be discouraged because
others seem to be making a brilliant
success of life while you are only
making moderate advancement. Me-
teors make a brilliant dash but they
soon die out and are heard OF no
more.
Don't get discouraged because you
have lost your position through no
fault of your own. Many man has
risen from such an experience to
higher and better work than he
would have gained ii he had held the
old place.
Don't get discouraged because peo-
pie laugh at you and ridicule you
when wou are trying to do right.
Every successful man has had the
same experience; in fact, it seems to
be one of the prices We have to pay
for success.
Don't get discouraged about any
thing when you are striving to do
your best. Everything will come
out all right and you will laugh to-
morrow over the cares and worries
of today.
