Man likes to go and sit by the sea in summer where the hot sands are famed by the breezes from off shore. It is not so cool there as at the noun tains-the sand ;s often so hot near the beach at monday that it will scorch bare feet; but there is a mys- tery about the sea as there is about the sky-the depths above and the depths below amaze us. In calm or storm the ocean seems to be thing of lHe--it seems to sing in peace and to rage in it's fury No mortal ever saw two of it's waves break in exactly the same way--it means as no mortal can. It takes on color like a mirror and sheds 1t as tree sheds rain. Every fifth wave is said by fishermen to be a major wave--four minor waves to one major seems to be the rule. Why? TO be alone upon long reach of beach awes the bravest man. There is a folk saying of the Japanese that the sea has soul and hears!" Even Gods dumb creatures stand and stare and listen in the presence of the sea as If the sight and sound of 1t made them forget all else in the world.

The Secret Of Prize Winning Pastry.

Fourteen prizes (near1y all of them
frsts) out of fifteen entries of cakes and
fine pastry is a record that any woman
might envy. This was the showing made
recently by Mrs. J. H. Chastain, 2e9 S.
Boulevard, Atlanta, Ca, at the Georgia
State Fair. Her explanation of her sue
cess is decidedly interesting; she writes
ST entered nine cakes and six pies at the
Georgia State Fair, Atlanta, won eight first
premiums on cake, three first premiums and two
seconds on pies, also first premium on general
display. 1 attribute my success in cake making
altogether to using CoTTOLENE and not
butter"
Mrs. Chastain is the wife of the Master
Mechanic of the Western & At1anticR R. R,
and enjoys a high local reputation for her
fine cooking. Not only does she use
COTTOLENE in making cakes or crusts,
and other pastry; but for frying chicken,
fish, etc, she finds it u~nequa1led. For
owe nine years she has not had a pound
of lard in her house, using COTTOLENE
exclusively.

The Charlotte Observer re-
Gently suggested that a meeting
of the executive committee of
the North Carolina Press Asso-
citation be held in that city on
the 10th Of May, the date named
for the arrival of President Taft,
who is scheduled to deliver an
address in commemoration of
the Mecklenburg Declaration of
independence. The object for a
meeting of this committee in
Charlotte at the time stated is
not apparent to us. Wide-awake
Hendersonville has already cap
tured the annual convention of
the North Carolina Press Asso-

asleep. Of course, we do not
object to the members Of the ex-

apprising that journal of the
fact that our progressive little

of the box on the first round.
The entire Observer force is cor
daily invited to be present at the

SHALL WOMEN Vote?

The Baltimore papers are
authority for the statement that
a bill will be introduced in the
next Maryland Legislature,
giving the ladies a right to vote,
in Baltimore in any city election.
The agitation of this question is
received with considerable con-
Germ by many of the most promi-
nent citizens of that city,
but most of them decline to be
drawn into a discussion of the
matter, either pro or con. If
such a law should be passed it
would be an Innovation which the
entire country would watch with
interest, as women in politics,
especially at the polls, would be
something new under the SUM-"
We cannot believe that the better
class of ladies in any town, city,
county, or state' desire to 'get
mixed up" in political affairs.
They would certainly be 'out OF
place"
Referring to the discussion OF
this question by the Baltimore
papers, an exchange suggests
that the poll-holders would OBJ
ject to women at the ballot box,
even if they were afraid to say
so, should there be an under
standing that they would have tc
nurse the babies while their
wives were voting and working
around the polls, as is said to be
the custom in other places where
woman suffrage is in vogue.
The Maryland Legislature may
do as it pleases about putting the
ballot in the hands of the Womer
up in Baltimore, but we do moi
believe in that sort of thing dowr
here. Granting that many OF
our lady friends are more com.
petent of voting intelligently
than lots of men. the propo

Mr.. Taft will visit Charlotte
on May 10th, and it is said that
two hundred 'possums will march
in the parade given in his honor
and that of the Mecklenburg
Declaration of independence.
We had always given the Neck
lenburgers credit for being
sufficiently foxy" to get most
everything they wanted, but if
they are going to invoke the aid
of the whole animal kingdom in
their advertising schemes, it is
going to go hard on the other
towns in North Carolina. With
one of the most thorough organ
izations-the Greater Charlotte
Club continuously pushing and
advertising the place, the reason
for it's notoriety is not hard to
place. The thoroughness and
continuity of the activity of this
organization, and it's wholesale
magnanimity for the good of the
town, ought to be an object les
son to the other cities of the
State. Let the Board of Trade
of Hendersonville take due notice
and govern itself accordingly.

The Cooper-C armack jury
rather put it on to the news
papers that had criticized their
knowledge of things. AS many
as can eliminate their former
opinions are complimentary to
the twelve men, good and true.
The verdict rendered by this
jury has done credit to the State
of Tennessee and the whole
South. 1t shows that the right
prevails once in a while in jury
trials when men of wealth and
political influence are involved.
All honor to the twelve men who

of the Dingley Bill, during the
extra session of Congress in
1897, did not consume quite two
weeks of time in the House, but
the Senate spent a long while in
thrashing out the question before
finally passing upon it. The
Dingley Bill was introduced into
the House on March 18, and pas
sed it's final reading in that body
just twelve days afterwards.
Upon reaching the Senate the
bill was referred to the Finance
Committee which reported it
back to that body on May 4th.
But the bill did not finally pass
until July 7th and was not rati-
fed until July oath. If we may
Judge from this, the length of
time that will be required to pass
the Payne Bill is easy to ascer-
tain.
1T is pointed out that the
Payne Bill was introduced in the
House one day earlier in the ses-
sion than the Dingley Bill, but
the public is already aware that
the measure will not be disposed
of in twelve days time. If the
Senate should decide to devote
as much time to a discussion of
this measure as it did to the
Dingley Bill in 1897, we may ex-
pect to witness some interesting
developments before this new
creature of the republican lead
ers is finally enacted into law.
1t does not now appear that any
other matters of Importance will
receive the attention of the
National law makers.

Again we have a demonstra-
ton of the old saying that 1.-THE
only good Indian is a dead one"
The escapade of Crazy Snake on
the western plains recently has
ended just as he, himself, might
have expected it would. 1t is
contended that the recent trou-
BILE with the Snake tribe is attri-
butable to the influence of pro-
fessional grafters and lobbyists,
who have sought to feather their
own nests at the expense of the
poor Indians. However, this
may be, Crazy Snake has come
to grief and the pale faces
will continue to dominate in this

AS TO TARIFF REVISION.

During the campaign last fall
Democratic orators threw out
the suggestion that the promise
of the Republican leaders to re-
wise the tariff, in the event that
party was successful at the polls.
did not signify that this provision
would be made in the inerest of
the people. but contended that
it might be upward instead Of
downward. Recent events seem
to indicate that their prophesies
were we'll founded. Every mem
Der of the minority who has any
thing to say upon the subject.
since the matter has been under
consideration by the present ex-
traordinary session of Congress,
invariably points out that the con-
sumner will continue to pay the
freight. The lower house Of
Congress is still debating on the
Payne Bill, and it is said many
more speeches are to be made
before amendments to the bill
can be considered. Most of the
speeches, so far, have been made
by Republicans, and it is appa-
rent that the democrats will have
little to do with the making of
the new Tariff Law. 1t is diff
cult to contemplate in just what
shape the bill will finally be
enacted. In fact, no one can
predict with any degree of &C
curacy whatsturn the matter may
take before a conclusion is
finally reached. Democratic
members say the bill will not be
recognized, even by. its friends,
when the doctors" have finished
with it. On the other hand, Mr..
Payne, the daddy" of the child,
and chairman of the Ways and
Means committee, is quite certain
that few changes in the original
instrument shall be permitted
by the majority members. But,
it must be remembered, that, the
fight will not be over when the
House shall have finished with
the proposed measure, as it
must, of necessity, run the
gauntlet of the Senate. Doctor
Aldrich has to be consulted and
is pretty apt to make trouble if
the thing" is not exactly to his
liking. Anyway,it is reasonably
safe to predict that the Inter
ests" will be taken care Of in
any event, while the wealth pro
ducers must continue to "pay
the freight"
There is considerable specu-
lation among the members of
both parties in Congress with re-
ference to the length of time
that will be spent in disposing of
the tariff question by this ses-
sion. Some adhere to the opinion
that the extra session will end
some time during the latter part
Of May or the first week in June,
while others are emphatic in the
belief that the consideration of
the question may continue until
August. 1t is recalled, in this
connection, that the discussion
