John Brink prided himself on having
the largest general store in the county.
If man wishes it, and it is made, l
have it," was the sign over his store,
and the motto which capped all his
advertisements in the newspapers.
William" said Mr.. Brink one morn
ing, as he was giving instructions to a
green clerk. no one must ever leave
this store without making a purchase.
If a person doesn't know what he
wants, suggest something. And, re-
member we have everything, from
carpet tacks TO mausoleums."
Williams first customer was leis-
urely appearing chap, who gazed about
curiously. but had no definite object in
view. Just looking around" he eX-
planned.
Wouldn't you like to take look at
our new line of postal cards?" suggest
ed the eager clerk.
NO not this time answered the
stranger. I'm just little short this

PATRICK HENRY.

His Pale Face and GIarins Eyes Dur
ing His Great Grafton.
The most overwhelming of Patrick
Henry's great orations is that which
he pronounced before the convention
which met in ST. Johns church at
Richmond, March %, 1875. Already the
mutterings of war were so distinct
that Henry instead of concealing the
facts, declared that war was even then
on foot.
1--WE must fight" he said. AN ap-
peal to arms and to the God of hosts is
all that is left u.s."
Curiously enough, even of this ora
ton there is no authentic record. Ger
tain sentences, certain stirring phrases,
were remembered by many who were
there, but the speech as we have 1t Is
almost surely a restoration by William
Writ, himself an eloquent and brilliant
orator. He supplied the gaps in what
his informants repeated to him, piec-
ing out their recollectiOns with his
own vivid fancy. But the spirit Of
Henry flames all through it, and to
Henry may be safely ascribed such
burning sentences as these:
Il have but one lamp by which my
feet are guided, and that is the lamp
of experience. / know of no way Of
judging the future but by the past"
Three millions of people armed in
the holy cause of liberty and in such
a country as that which we possess
are invincible by any force which our
enemy can send against u.s."
Gentlemen may cry peace, peace
but there is no peace."
rs life so dear or peace so sweet as
to be purchased at the price Of chains
and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God!
know not what course others may
take but. rs for me, give me liberty
or give me DEATH"
AS in the case of all orators of the
very first rank, the physical impress
sion made by Henry was as strong as
the intellectual. There exists de-
SSllpllOll VI iliS oppNbiphNN '''''N ~
livering this last great speech-a de-
scription that came from o. who was
present at the time. 1t tells how,
when Henry rose and claimed the floor,
there was an "unearthly fire burning
in his eyes. He commenced somewhat
calmly, but his smothered excitement
began more and more to play upon his
features and thrill in the tones Of his
voice The tendons of his neck stood
out white and rigid like whipcords.
Finally his pale face and glaring eyes
became terrible to look upon" The
witness of the scene who gave this
vivid picture said that he himself felt
sick with excitement" When the ora
tor had finished his speech "it seemed
as if word from him would have led
to any wild explosion Of violence.
Men looked beside themselves" s."-Lyn-
don Orr in Munseys.

of a lovers parting:

The Lawyer and the LandIady.

The woman was in the box, and
she was a very nice-mannered, re-
spectacle woman who kept cheap
boarding house, and it was the de-
sire of one of her guests to be dis
honest that had brought her to the
court to make him pay his board
bill, says Tit-Bits.
How old did you say you were,
madam" inquired the lawyer, with
no reason on earth, for an elderly
landlady is no more anxious to lose a
board bill than a young one.
II did not say, SIR" she responded,
flushing to the roots of her hair.
"Win you be kind enough to say,
madam"
Its none of your business.

judge.
"Um," said the lawyer, rubbing his
chin. How much did you say the
amount was the defendant owed
you?"

And for how long was that"
Three weeks"
That's one pound week, isn't
it?"
Yes, sir
Three weeks at one pound a week,
isn't it,"
Three weeks at one pound week

Yes sir"
The witness was patient, but her
temper was not improved under the
strain.
Isn't that an extravagant price to
pay for board in your locality, mad
am?" inquired the lawyer severely.
He didn't pay it. sir" answered
the worm, beginning to turn.
The lawyer gave little start Of
surprise, then became indignant at
the very thought of a witness talking
like that.
Don't be facetious, madam" he
said, assuming a tone of warning.
This is q serious matter. l have
asked II your prices were not eNorpl-
tant, madam. Now, madam, j ask
you in all earnestness, if you mean to
tell this court that your prices are
moderate and that if 1 should come
to your house to board you would
charge me one pound week? Answer
directly, madam" and the barrister
squared his shoulders and assumed
an imperial manner.
NO, SIR she said, simply. Il
would"
II thought not" interrupted the
lawyer, bending over and rubbing his
hands.
NO, sir" continued the witness,
Il should not charge you at all. 1

news of Captain Stoves death came as
severe shock to the whole cOmmu-
nifty as his illness had not been known
To be critical until two or three days
before his death. The deceased was
born on July 4th, 1889. at the family
home, White Hall, on Crowder's Creek,
and was the son of Abram and Eliza
beth HOyle Stowe. At the time OF his
death he was therefore 6S years, 6
months and days old. He was mar
ried on June 2nd, 1858, to Miss Jane
Caroline Hunter of York county, s. G.,
who survives him. and of this union
there were nine children, only three OF
whom survive: Messrs. w. II and c. f.
Stowe and Miss Annie L. Stowe. Be
sides his wife and children, the near
est surviving relatives are three first
cousins, Col w. A. Stowe, Miss Addie
Hanks and Mrs. Laura Stowe. Captain
Stowe served in the Confederate army
as captain of company H, 49th North
Carolina regiment, and was for long
period secretary of the William Gam.
BILE Camp of United Confederate veter-
ans until the time of his resignation
at the last annual reunion Of the camp.
Captain Stowe was for many years
resident of Kings Mountain, from
which place he moved to Gastonia in
March, 1898. He had been since early
youth a faithful, consistent and highly
active member of the Presbyterian
church, had served for nearly half
century as a deacon, and was for many
years an elder of the church and
teacher in the Sunday school. The de-
ceased was member Of high standing
in the Masonic fraternity, and had fill
ed many positions of usefulness and
honor. At the time Of his death he was
a member of the CASTOR county pen
sion board, had been for sixteen years
a justice of the peace, and for the past
seven years had served as court officer
for the CASTOR superior court

AN ERA OF DEVELOPMENT.
The Twentieth Century to Be Marked
BY Remarkable Events.

BY Remarkable Events.
The present population of the
world is living in a wonderful age,
says the Boston Herald. The history
of the nineteenth century is full
of events which caused astonishment
yet things Of an equally remarkable
nature appear destined to mark even
the first 25 years of the Goth century
few wonderful achievements in this
century are worthy of consideration
A few weeks ago the residents of
London were gazing in admiration at
The movements Of an aerial ship which
floated gracefully over the thousands
of buildings in that great metropolis,
propelled at the rate Of 25 miles an
hour; but it's voyage was limited to d
total of about So miles. The aerial ship
was constructed and owned by the
government, and Londoners probably
felt that in time of war they would be
provided with enough of such air
craft for the purposes of observing the
forces of an enemy as well as to drop
explosives therefrom.
Paris has been experimenting sue
cessfully for several years with similar
airships, and the Frenchmen are far
in advance of the Britishers in this
class Of experiments.
And now the United States comes
to the front with balloons that are
making record flights throughout the
west, soaring over the Great Lakes,
and even venturing as far as Cana
dian territory. Flights Of hundreds Of
miles in these American balloons are
becoming common now by real sky
pilots.
Our war department officials are
excusable for feeling highly elated
over the remarkable success of these
American balloon pilots, for 1t means
that In time Of war the United States
will be up to date with any other
power in this particular line.
In the last century ballooning was
looked upon as merely a fascinating
and dangerous amusement Now it is
being utilized for very important pur-
poses.
Aerial navigation may be in it's in
fancy, but it's progress IS destined TO
be so very rapid that the present gen.
Grafton will witness wonderful achieve
ments in it.
How many individuals of the last
century would have believed it possible
for many thousands Of words to be
sent across the Atlantic Ocean by
wireless telegraphy in the early years
of this century? Yet this has been
accomplished.
In the electrical world the number
of inventions is unlimited, and the
most distinguished electrician does
not dare to prophesy any limit to
them. In fact it is felt that this CEN
tury will witness even more marvel
Gus achievements through the aid of
electricity than any yet known. Even
Edison, in spite of his phenomenal
success, is still so fascinated with the
possibilities of new discoveries that
he cannot retire permanently from
the field. There is scarcely leading
industry in the land that has not ex-
perienced equipment in recent years.
The list of extraordinary events
and inventions during the first years
of this century is long one, but the
slightest consideration Of 1t will con-
vince any one that he is living in a
wonderful age.
