CHILD EVINcED REAL HERoIsM.
Pathetieally Brave In Hour That
Brings Terror to Us All.

A pathetic story Of ohilds heroism
Is told by Dublin gentleman. Re-
Gently he proposed to drive with his
wife to the beautiful Glasnevin GENE
terry. Calling his son, a bright little
boy, some four years old. he told him
to get ready to accompany them. The
child's countenance fell and the father
said:
Don't you want to go. Willie?"
The little lip Quivered. but the child
answered, Yes, papa, If you wish"
The child was strangely silent dur
Ing the drive. and when the carriage
drove up to the entrance he chung to
his mothers side and looked up in
her face with pathetic usefulness.
The party alighted and walked
among the graves and along the tree
Swallowed avenues. looking at the In
scripions on the last resting places Of
the jewellers in the beautiful city of
the dead. After an hour or so thus
spent, they returned to the carriage.

his seat. The child looked surprised,

OF course you are; why not?"

Eagle Tries to kIdnap Girl.

While Blanche Cribier, three years
old. the daughter of Fred Cribier, a
summer resident OF Helmetta, N. J.,
was at play near her home a large
eagle swooped down and attempted
to carry the child away in its talons.
Cribier was working near by and the
screams OF his daughter attracted his
attention. He fought of the bird and
as it attempted to fly away his broth
er, who had come up with a shotgun,
fired and wounded the eagle. Its cap
ture was then an easy matter. The
child was found to be uninjured ex-
cept for few scratches. The eagle,
though peppered with shot, will live
and the Cribiers intend to keep 1t in
cage.

"Ideal Achievers."
Sanford Express.

odHlofu LApFtSS.
Mr.. Robert C. Ogden, of New York,
president of the Peabody fund and
head of the committee intrustpd by
Andrew Carnegie with the great fund
of $32 900, 900 for educ3 ton, gave
the closing address at the dedication
of the new graded school building at
Southern Pines Thursday, the 9th,
ult. Referring to his address, the
Tourists says:
He spoke feplingly and ap-
preriatively of the late DR.. Caas D.
MrIver, president of the North Caro-
lima Woman's College. and of Walter
H. Page, editor of the Worlds Work,
both born in Moore. He mentioned
President Alderman, Ex-Governor
Aycock, Charles D. Mc1ver and
Waltrr H. Page, who were reared in
North Carolina about the same time,
us products of the public schools.
These men he held up to the
scholars of the present day as ideal
achievers, as examples, as inspirers
to honest work and great deals
These four men, McIver, Page
Alderman and Aycock, "1deal achi-
svers," to use Mr.. Ogden's words,
came from different counties in the
| same section of the State. Page WAS
born in Wake, Mciver in Moore,
| Aycock in Wayne, and Alderman in
| New Hanover. Two of them were
born ON the farm and spent their
| bOyhOod between. the plOw handles,
| the other two were born in town.
| All are of Scotch descent. Two were
brought up in the Presbyterian
church, one in the Baptist church,
and one in the Methodist church..
| Mr.. Ogden refers to these men as
products of the public school. They
are, more properly speaking, prod
ucts of the private school and the
| University OF North Carolina. When
they were preparing themselves to
begin their life work the idea of tax
ing all the people to educate all the
children had not taken a firm hold
upon our people and they did not
care for education. Only the sons of
the well-to-do were able to go away
and attend the high school and col
| lege. The women remained at home

themselves. After a while change
"a wonderful change-came to pass.
Today we have the graded school in
almost every town and village in the
State and in maHy rural districts.
The attendance at the public schools
is much better than ever before; the
people not only want their children
to 90 to school, but they make them
attend. The transformation was
not brought about, however, until
Alderman and McIver had gone
about the State and. with the zeal Of
crusaders, preached the doctrine Of
public education supported by taxa
ton. Aycock also urged the samo
thing from the stump. SO that these
three men, instead of being the prod
urts of the public schools. are in
ii sense the fathers of these schools as
they exist in North Carolina today.

With the above as caption there is
an interesting and instructive article
in the american Magazine for Febru-
ary. We regret that the space at
our command forbids a free and full
review of the contribution of II well
informed and critical writer upon Il
present day subject of vast import.
The conclusion OF the whole matter
is that wherever the negroes gather
in numbers in any Northern commu-
nifty they soon learn that conditions
existing at the South at once con
front them there "BlOod is thicker
than water" North as well as South
of the Mason and Dixon line. Even
in self righteous "Bostin' where
the negroes crowd in the whites
promptly crowd out This was par
ticularly true in the history Of an
Episcopal Church OF the Club" The
negro membership so increased that
the officers said: ''This must cease
or the whites would all leave" The
result was n separate church for
brother ''nigger." An application for
the "Jim Crow law to affairs spirit
ual. As soon as the negroes begin
to buy in any particular section OF
Philadelphia, or Indianapolis, or
Cleveland the whites arc ready to
sell out, and that maudlin sympathy
which exists in Northern minds for the
"brother in black" exhausts itself on
those at distance. Let him get to
be neighbor, and the romance is all
gone and the real thing" becomes ii
living problem.
The mountain looks blue at a
distance" and the negro only looks
| to be White when far away.
And another fact we gather from
| this writer is that the negro up
| North" who has won distinction in
| law, literature, medicine or art is
| about five-sixths white. The Anglo
Saxon in him comes to the front and
the African in him "takes to the
woods" We would be glad to re-
view this article at length, but here
we must stop. The problem widens,
broadens and deepens. A jim Crow
law is as certain for Washington rs
it already is for Richmond. Excuse
us, but long since "we told you
So"
In some "sweet dayin the byeand-
bye" the South viii have complete
and full vindication. ''The mills oil

n 1t allow the railroads to oppress

we are corrupted by them or are pol

When the individual loses hope
becomes discouraged-sees things
only through a darkened glass, fail
ure is dangerously near at hand. The
pessimist cannot succeed for long,
success is merely the realization of
ones ambitions, and without high
and noble ambition there can be no
great success. What every person
needs above all else is. a cheerful,
optimistic spirit 1t is the first req
uisite, and the most potential, in
accomplishing things.
And this same spirit of optimism
is needed in community, as well as
in the individual. The town or city
whose citizens. are willing to dis
credit all advances; who are always
ready to howl calamity and failure
when some one inaugurates some
scheme for beneftting that com
munity, will never amount to much.
The city that is progressive, that
grows, is the city where an air of
confidence and hope is prevalent.
No city in the country has brighter
opportunities for growth than our
own, and nothing will forestall that
development unless it be that we
lose hope in our possibilities.
Speaking along this line, the
Tradesman has this to say anent the
Importance of this spirit of optimism
in a community:
"While optimism is a most valu-
able asset on the credit side Of the
account that stands for the life
record of an individual or a com
munity, pessimism is IL distinct
debit to that account and one that
often Overbalances all other credits
bankruptcy in the end both in chara C
ter and finances.
"How many lives are wrecked
from the one cause of neglecting to
value properly this asset of optimism?
How many towns and cities are not
only retarded in their progress but
actually shorn of most brilliant
prospects through the pessimism
that has been permitted to grow
among their citizens?
cit is not unusual to hear the eX-
preston from some citizen when APP
pealed to in behalf OF his town or
city: what's the use? lam tired of
giving my time and money towards
public advancement with nothing
done and | have therefore determined
to work for No. | hereafter This is
not only pessimism in concrete form
but is the height of selfshness, such
as blights on all whom itfalls. Moth
ing is more axiomatic than this,
adage: 'SelfshneSs always defeats
ITSELF for no one can live alone or
separate himself entirely from the
body of society of which his very ex-
istence constitutes him a component
part.
''It is thus with the South at the
present times There are young men
coming into control of this section
who need the lessons which the gen
GRAFTON just preceding them has
learned SO we'll, as shown in the mar
velous progress everywhere apparent,
and if the destiny of this section is to
be what that older generation now
passing away hoped for and strug-
gled for the young men of the South
must be taught the value ofOptimism

There are two ways OF starting on
LIES Journey One is to begin where
your parents are ending-magnifieent
mansions. splendid furniture. and an
elegant turnout. The other is to begin
a little nearer where father and mother
of blessed memory-began. You see
you go up as easily and gracefully, il
events show it would be safe; but it
would be trying and awkward to come
down. And it costs much to live now.
And business fluctuates; and health is
uncertain and temptations from the side
of pride are strong, and many a young
man who did not mean to be extrava-
giant has been lead along; and rather
than face the position and descend
manfully has tried to keep up by
embezzlement and been called a swim
dler." Our prisons are rapidly being
filled by those who make the mistake d
beginning life at the top of the ladder.
