What About a Cook. Stove?

Now that summer time and s'dog
days" are just ahead, everybody who
''summers" at home is considering how
to simplify things and get the most
comfort out of an uncomfortable situa
ton. We interview the ice-man, order
thin clothes, plan to ease up here and
relax there, but more than likely forget
the one most important item in the
whole hot-weather scheme-some
means of doing the family cooking
without the insufferable heat of coal
fire in the kitchen. Everyone with eX-
perience knows how tiresome it is to
stay in stuffy room to prepare meal,
let alone the doing of big baking.
But everyone doesn't know how very
easy it is to change hot kitchen to a
cool one and do better cooking at the
same time. Just add to your list of
summer conveniences New Perfection
wick blue-fame oil cook-stove and
you've done all that anyone can do to
lessen hot-weather discomfort. A cy-
lindrical chimney concentrates the heat
at the stOve-tOp, and in this way pre-
vents surface radiation as in a coal or
wood stove. 1t is easy to see that this
lessons very much the matter of per-
sonal discomfort in summer house
keeping.

trouble for several years. If 1 stopped
or lifted anything sharp shooting pains

was dull heavy aching through the
small of my back that forced me to be

the result of the loss of sleep l arose in
the morning feeling tired and worn out
and would have dull languid feelings
during the day. My general health
became affected, consulted physi clans,
used their medicines as we'll as many
advertised remedies, but nothing gave
me relief. A friend who had been SIM

'The distribution of these immigrants
as to numerical preponderance was in
the following order: New York, Penn
sylvania, Illinois, Massachusetts,, New
Jersey, and Ohio. 1t is fact that two
thirds of the immigrants. to this coun-
try settle jim the: Atlantic or Middle
Western States, already thickly popu-
lated, and the proportion of foreign
born to native population in many of
the cities of that section has already be-
come startling.
speaking generally, we have thirty
eight cities of over 100000 population.
OF these only eleven have native ele-
ment of over so per cent.
~ am glad the South is homogene-
Gus people, l believe the day will come
when it will prove to this great repub-
lie shelter in the time of storm.
'tNorth and South Carolina have al
most no foreign element, georgia al
most none; Mississippi but little; Vir-
SAAiloj E1lhdilodS anu 1CIlllCoSCC IlO SlRI-
ificant admixture. On the other hand,
North Dakota is Is per cent. foreign,
Minnesota is close second, while more
than half the population of Wisconsin,
South Dakota, Utah, Montana, Michi-
gan, Illinois, California, New York,
New Jersey and Rhode Island is foreign,
counting in!each case the native born of
foreign parentage.
THE South desires immigration, and
homeseekers from the Northwest
principally are coming in to help build
up the waste places, and to identify
themselves with the country. This is
desirable, normal and healthful.
IA great scholar and thinker has
characterized the mission of the three
great ancient, historic peoples-the He
brews, to teach man.his.. relations to his
Maker; the Greeks, to'steach man to
analyze and to understand himself; the
Romans, to teach,man his relationship
to the State. And we are heirs of all
these.
81 would prefer to see our country go
along more gradually, unfolding the
lessons of self-goyernment, demonstrate
ing that we know how to conserve and
to perpetuate this legacy, SO fostering
and stimulating by our own course the
vitality of the blessed doctrine of peace
on earth, good will among mem that
other nations will be constrained to
emulate us"

The National Lullaby.

Hushaby, Panic, oh, sleep, we entreat!
Bankers are singing you lullabies sweet,
Business men grooming with soothing
replete,
Hushaby, hushaby, sound be your
sleep.
Oh, but your racket has rended the
skies
Weakened up Europein painful surprise,
Gold they have given to silence your
cries,
Hushaby, hushaby, holler no more,
Sleep, no disturbers around you will
come,
Even your father is frightened and
Rather than wake you intends to be
dumb,
Hushaby, hushaby, deeply repose.
See, though the darkness come faint
rosy CLEANS,
Soon will the daylight be shedding its
beams;
Haste you away to the region of dreams!
Hushaby, hushaby, drat you, good
night!

FLOODS SPEECH
ON IMMIGRATION.
HE FAVORS RESOLUTION RECENTLY
ADOPTED BY VIRGINIA
LEGISI.ATURE.

A day or two ago, when the pension
bill was under discussion in the house,
Representative Flood secured the floor
and made an interesting speech on the
subject of the indiscriminate admission
into Virginia of aliens from Southern
Europe
He spoke in favor of a resolution re-
Gently adopted by the Legislature of
Virginia, and which has later been in
corporated into the Congressional Re
cord, opposing in .the most emphatic
manner the admission of members of
the Malta, Black Hand and other muir
der societies of Southern Europe
While admitting the wisdom of en-
couraging immigration, Mr.. Flood said
he was satisfied the country had better
suffer for a lack of the necessary num-
Der of laborers than to introduce into
her midst the...class, of immigration
against which this..resolution is direct
ed. Continuing, ..he--said:
"The. following figures show the i'm
migration into this country for the year
1906:
"The year 19O6.was. the banner year
for immigration into America, there
having arrived here for the fiscal year
ended June $50, 1906, 1,1OO,7 7S5 of all
classes. 4 The largest numbers came

Influence of the Country Press.

Discussing the relative measure Of in
tiuence exerted by the editorial express
sions Of city and country newspapers,
the Washington Herald says: 1--WE be-
lieve we do not overshOot the mark
when we say: If the entire daily city
press in the Union could be combined
in one opinion, and set against the
combined country press in another, the
verdict of the great majority of the peo-
pie would be adopted along lines sug-
gested by the latter. When it comes
to real Influence" attaching to its edi-
torial expression, the country pr IS has
the city press hopelessly outclassed.
We have long been of this opinion.
1t is very true that by increased mail
facilities, city newspapers are now en-
abled to reach out of town subscribers
at sufficiently early hour to be really
valuable as quick news mediums; and
hence the country demand for city
journals has grown to simply enormous
piOpOl tlOIls. Ills COliuiUioli, IloWCNCI,
has not resulted in reducing the interest
with which the. country subscriber
turns to the columns of his local news
paper. Its editor is familiar not only
with local conditions, but he is gener
ally able to catch .and reflect the trend
of public sentiment, and tosympathize
with.it; or if not in accord with it to
know how-with what sort CT tact and
in what .sort of manner-his paper
should attempt to..mould.and lead local
public opinion. 7 He. knows how to do
this because knowing the general tenn
permanent of his constituency. More
over, he--stands ready to resent reiec-
tions upon his people-to resist injustice
sought to be..inficted upon their inter
ests: and, intact and profession, is a
really vital champion. of home concerns.
In thatslight his readers grow to look
upon him and the expressions of his
newspaper, and it is but natural that
within the radius of its possible infu-
snce the country weekly should hold
commanding position...- Lynchburg

BRISTOL MAN SMALLEST
ODD FELLOW IN WORLD.
JAMES NJ. BURNETT, NATIVE OF CAR
ROL COUNTY, VA, AMASSES FOR
TUNE DESPITE SIZE.

TUNE DESPITE SIZE.
The smallest Odd-Fellow in the world
is James NJ. Burnett, of Bristol. He is
forty eight inches in height and weighs
only ninety even pounds, says the
Bristol Herald-C Couricr.
Mr.. Burnett also enjoys the distinc-
ton of being the smallest person in IT, e
service Of Uncle Sam. He owns a
general merchandise store in West
State street extended, and is also sub
stitute rural mail carrier from the local
p0stoffice.
Mr.. Burnett is member of the Can
ton of Bristol, and has been prominent
in Odd-Fellow circles for ! number 0.
years and even before becoming identifi-
ell with the highest degree. He is also
a msmber of the Masonic fraternity.
He is striking example of the self
made man, having arisen from farm
hand to a well-to-do citizen of Bristol,
owning real estate and other valuable
property in addition to his'general mar
chandise store. He was born in Carroll
county, Va, Sept. 2S, 1873, and in 1884
his parents moved to near Bristol. He
was employed on the farm of ]. b.
Dunn, at Glover Forest, until 1899,
when he invested his meagre savings,
which aggregated S21, in store at
Shankle's mill. He remained there
until 1905, when hepurchased property
in West State street. He is now worth
several thousand dollars and has a
profitable and growing business.
The diminutive Bristolian isIa member
of family Of dwarfs. His father was
almost exactly the same in height and
weight, while he has a sister slightly
smaller, as well as brother, who live
in Knoxville, of about the..same phys
ical proportions.
Mr.. Burnett'is member of Indian
Springs lodge, No. 352, Independent
Order of Odd-Fellows.

Carnegie Foundation and the Meth
Odists.

MI. Carnegie's foundation for eme-
ritus professors is noble institution,
without taint of pauperism or mendi
cancy. q This portentously rich man
has thus done for the cause of learning,
science and the higher education of the
youth what governments in other lands
do. He puts instructors worn out in
the service of mankind upon pension
list of comparative affiuence and of real
honor. Their declining days are free
from carking care, as these noble men
rest from the labors of earth and are
gently handed through the wide flung
crystal gates. To large extent, relief
in munificent manner and free from all
objection is afforded the profession of
teaching in the higher walks, calling
incomparably the most noble and use
full, next the ministry of:religion, that
blesses and elevates mankind.
Mr.. Carnegie has seen fit to limit his
roll of honorary retirement to such pro-
fessors as are connected:with unsectar-
ian institutions. This restriction is en-
tirely and rightly within his discretion,
nor is his determination a proper OBJ
ject of criticism. The inclusive class is
quite large enough to exhaust even
most generous endowment. We can
not, however, commend too highly the
action of the Baltimore conference of
the Southern Methodist Church in re-
spectfully but firmly declining to share
in this fund, if thereby it imperils or
puts in questionable moral ownership
by the church of the entire Randolph
Macon system of educational institu-
tiOns. This action of the conference
has the true and genuine ring of deep
principle that will not yield convictions
to considerations of cash benefits. 1t
is no disparagement of other churches
to say that the Methodists of Virginia
are away and ahead of all in fostering
widespread and expanding system of
general education. 1t is one of the
chief earthly glories of that great COM
munion of Christians, which it is right
ly determined shall never be separated
from the control of the denomination
