The Cheerful Man.
New Bern Sun.

New Bern Sun.
In the effect they have on those
,hout them, did you ever contrast
the grumbler with the cheerful man?
you have seriously thought of it
here must have come to you a men,
tai res dive to belong to the cheerful
lass.
The cheerful man! AS a contempo-
''ary, so we'll exclaims: What a
'oon he is in everybody's lifcl He is
ike bright sunrise and a gentle
south wind coming together on a
winter morning, to all who cross his
path. He brushes cheerily along,
knocking grief and disappointment
'ut of his path, and leaving it
iringed with flowers.
Who can rightly or accurately COM
pute the value OF such man to the
world? His dailygexample is worth
more than all his money, his wisdom
or his ambitious schemes. People
eel IL sort of pleasure in just seeing
lim come down the street, and when
they meet him there is not cloud in
sight.
Such men are a blessing to town.
They make one feel that it is beau
tiful more than a place just to eat
md sleep and make a living in.
Sometimes one doesn't meet such
men, and then he feels that the town
is degenerating, that things are
going wrong, and that the evil
spirit is trying to put little malice
IN his heart, and he goes home and
actually meets the smiles OF the folks
there with Il feeling of suspicion.
A man who is habitually cheerful
does not realize the amount of good
he is doing in the world. But it is his
nature and he can't help it. Heaven
'Hs picked him out as one of its
angels anil he is faithful to his mis-
sion. Every day somebody has been
made happy by his pleasant smile
and his genial good morning." and
if Il man has a bit of business with
him it passes by very much like arl
'xchang- of compliments.
All hail and good day to the cheer.
nj man, The world is blessed by the
arm sunshine that always beams
about him and along his pathway.

Civilization on a Lark.
Human Nature at the North Sam.
Brand a. That of the South Suf
ficient Provocatien All That is
Needed to Demonstrate the Fact.

Washington Post.
Human nature at the North is very
much like human nature at the
South. 1t happens quite frequently
that one may read in the daily paper
a special like the following from OF
tumwa, Ia:
"A mob of 900 men gathered at
the county iailtonight and demanded
Roy Edwards, Il egro, who is under
arrest for attacking Mrs. Clara Erwin
last night. 4 riot call brought po-
licemen, and'Sheriff Jackson told the
mob that Edwards had been taken
out of town.
1.-THE mob marched through the
main streets and returned to the jail
with the intention of breaking in.
Four men were allowed to inspect the
Jail. They found that the sheriff
had really sent Edwards away and
the mob dispersed.
Kansas, Illinois, Indiana and Penn
svlvania have all been prolific of SIM
liar tidings. Indeed, there was mob
exceptionally bloodthirsty in Massa-
chusetts, not many moons ago, that
sprang into being from the same
cause that created that Ottumwa
disturbance.
1t is true that Northern mohs are
not so successful in consummating
their purposes, but that is easily ac-
counted for. In the first place, the
raw material-that is the outrage
for fashioning such mobs is more
abundant at the South, and the
North, being three orfour times more
densely populated than the South,
has more police protection.
a few days earlier than the attempt
to lynch this Roy Edwards, Mr. Ed
ward Rockwell, editor of q newspaper
in that same town of Ottumwa, made
some nncomplimentary references
concerning the mayor and city coun-
cilmen of that town, whereupon a
masked mob seized Mr. Rockwell in
the dead hour of night, carried him
to the Chautauqua grounds-they
say a Chautauqua operates as GER
tifirate OF a superior and exalted
brand OF advanced civilization. They
carried this editor in the biting cold
to the Chautauqua grounds, stripped
him until he was entirely nude, and
then poured tar over his entire per-
son, coated it with feathers and left
him more dead than alive PROSTATE
in the snow.
This was civiliza tion on lark and
in search of fun. Had it happened in
Mississippi it would have been bar
barism in rage and running amuck
against civilization.

At times when you don't feel just right,
when you have a bad stomach, take some
thing right away that will assist Digestion;
not something that will stimulate for time
but something that will positively do the
very work that the stomach performs under
ordinary and normal conditions, something
that will make the food digest. To do this
you must take natural digestant like
Kodol for Dyspepsia. Kodol is scientific
preparation OF vegetable acids with natural
digestants and contains the same juices
found in healthy stomach. Each dose will
digest more than 5000 grains OF good food.
1t is sure to afford prompt relief: it digesta
what you eat and is pleasant to take. Sold

Webb's Pertinent Questions.

Shelby Star.
Congressman Yates Webb Of this
district has II habit of dirctness of ex-
preston bot |, in spre..h as we'll IA the
Grop"unding of questions. This
wa pxemplfird last week when, in he
discussion of he urgent deficiency bill
appropriatlng $2O,OOO for the pay
rnpnt of assistant district ATTORNEYS,
he propounied SOME rather embar
RAISING questions to Mr.. Taw-
ney. chairman on appropriations.
1t seems there ia II certain Mrs.
Quark-nbos who imagines that her
lIea vell-sent mission il t. stir up pc
nnage prosecutions. The South ia her
special field OF operations. and in the
ii-cus~ion which arose, Representa-
| I've Webb asked the following prrti-
nrit questions. which are Yet uuan-
swrrrd by the gentleman who ought
to have peen prepared to throw
ONE light on the subject.
Il ask the chairman of the apprO-
| 'riatiOn COMMITTEES for some iiIfOr-
| tnation in regard to the section of
he bill which provides for the pay
|
al tornpNs for aid in special cases in
1907. am informed that Attorney
General BOnaphrts has employed i'll
| lis department an assistant attur-
'ey by the name OF Mrs. Grace
| Quackenbus, whose business is to
look up the evidence in petnage cases
'nd assist i'll their prosecution. Re-
emily she has been busying herself
with such Cases in the State of Flor
da, appearing in the court and fur
| .istiiug evidence. want the chairman
of the committee to tell me, if he
an. why this woman has been EN-
ployed, how much she is paid aud
VII, she is sent to a~sisr regu-
lnrly appointed and paid United
States district attorneys who are
cumpetent to discharge their duties,
md why she has confined her opera
tions to the South. This woman is
now in employ of the government
and under the direction of the At
,orney General, and l am informed
that She is paid $4,000 u year and
that her chief duty is to stir up peon-
| ,ge prosecution and that she has
,imed her reform work at the South.
| wish to suggest that this woman,
II she wishes to secure genuine re-
form in this direction, might turn
her attention to some OF the North
,.rn States, where she will find more
peunage in one of those Common
wealths than can be found in all the
South combined"
This was word against prac-
lice of int. rference that is going on
III the South. Recently hordes of In
-pectors have been going through
he South stirring ISSUES. Mr.. Webb's
remarks were appiauded by the
Southern Democrats.
Sister Quak-nbos is probably just
about as conversant with the situ-
alton as some OF her other Northern
sisters who have already settled the
ace and child labor problems in the
) South.

Sorry Business.
Greensboro Patriot.

In the closing hours of the special
session OF the Legislature two tnem-
uers of the lower branch of that body
took occasion to- needlessly reflect
upon the FEDERAL judiciary of this
State. AS We see it, there was no ex-
.use for such all outbreak, and it is IL
matter of qualification that the in
temperate uIterances were promptly
and properly rebuked by influential
anu dignitied members of the House
of Representatives, Everybody knows
that the United States judges i'll this
State are honorable men and good
citizens, learned IN the law and faith

they see it. They are North Caro-
liuians holding the respect aud Is

souable person can believe that
either of them would violate a trust
or oversiep the bounds OF judicial
probity.
However, this is not written so
much in defense of the judiciary as III

or malicious brain that attempts to
instili III the minds of the people a
