The Cost of a Boy.

l read the other day it costs nearly
a thousand pounds to bring up a
London boy, and educate and dress
him well. | said to myself, "'that is
because everything in the city has to
be bought, and living is high But |
began to study the thing, and found
that even a country boy costs his
parents a good deal.
When you count what a boy eats
and what he wears, and the school
books he must have, the doctor bills
which have to be paid when he gets
the scarlet fever or the measles, he
Will cost his folks at home at least
one hundred dollars a year If a boy
is given to breaking things, kicking the
toes out of his boots, and so on, he
costs more than that; sc that when
| am twenty-one and old enough to
do for myself, | shall have cost father
more than two thousand dollars.
Mother cooked my food and made
my clothes and patched them, washed
and ironed for me, took care of me
when | was a little fellow and when
ever | was sick, and she never charg-
ed anything for that. If she were
dead and father had to pay for all
that, il would have cost another hun

two thousand dollars worth of work
mother will have done for me by the
time I am a man,
! Four thousand dollars for a boy.
What do you think of that? These
are hard times. When parents put
four thousand dollars into a boy
what have they a right to expect
of him? Is it fair for a boy to play

What | Have Seen of Cigarettes.
By. Hon. B. b. Lindse.

By. Hon. b. b. Lindsey.
Boyhood is the most important part
of life. 1t is the period when the
foundation of a noble character is
successfully laid. A man is a great
deal like a magnificent building.
The great building a never be last
ing, strong and beautiful, unless it
rests upon a firm foundation. At the
beginning the foundation is laid. You
can not build a fine house and lay
the foundation afterwards. The be-
ginning of a man is a boy, and SO
the foundation Of a man is a boy.
J. One of the very worst habits in
boyhooG is the cigarette habit. This
has long been recognized by all the
judges of the courts who deal with
young criminals, and especially by
judges of police courts, before whom
pass thousands of men every year who
are addicted to Incorporate habits.
These judges know that in nearly
every case the drunken sots who APP
pear before them, a disgrace to their
parents, themselves and the state
began as boys smoking cigarettes.
One bad habit led TO another. The
nicotine and poison in the cigarette
created an appetite for alcoholic
drink. The cigarette habit not only
had a grip upon them in boyhood,
but it invited all the other demons of
habit to come in and add to the de
g~radation that the cigarette began.

THE QUIET HOUR

, court whose parents and friends were
. shocked when it was discovered that
he had stolen money from the cash
drawer of his employer, and was
caught by a detective set to watch
for the thief. No one believed that
this boy would steal, since he had a
good home and had borne a good
reputation, but | found on inYestiga-
ton hat the boy had been tempted
to steal in order to get money to buy
cigarettes. Now the trouble with the
boy was hat he was weak, he could
not resist temptation. Why? BE
cause he had contracted this baneful
habit that weakened his character SO
that he was unable to resist evil
when it attacked him, as 1t will Ger
tainly attack all boys, ana only those
who are strong will successfully re-
sist it.
Nearly all of the leading business
men of the country have forbidden
the employment Of boys and young
men who smoke cigarettes. This is
because they know that the victims
| of cigarettes cannot be trusted.
The laws of nearly every state in
the Union forbid the sale of tobacco
to boys, and the law of Colorado even
forbids people to give boys tobacco,
SO that boys who use cigarettse are
not only disobedient to their par
ents, but they are disobedient to the
laws of their state. Patriotism is,
after all, duty to ones home, ones
I school, and ones city. And no boy
does his duty either to himself, his
home, his school, his city, his flag,
or his country, who will indulge in
the vile habit of smoking cigarettes.

SENATOR DANIEL DEAD.

Great Virginian Yields to Conquering
Death Won Distinction as Sol
der of the Confederacy and Served
in the United States Senate for Al
most a Quarter of a Century-Was
Prominent as a Political Leader for
Forty Years.
Lvnchburg. Va, June 29.-John
". Daniel, senior senator from Nir-
piDia. and for more than 80 years
Virginia's favorite son, died at the
Lynchburg sanatorium at 1879
O'Clock tonight, his death being due
to a recurrence OF paralysis. The
immediate cause OF his death was a
cerebral hemorrhage sustained at
noon today in the right portion OF
his brain, involving the right side.
This was in addition to the paralysis
OF the left side, which was sustained
last winter while in Florida for his
health.
Senator Daniel had an attack OF
paralysis at DaytOna, Florida last
March and for quite awhile his life
was despaired Of But he rallied and
was carried to his home at Lynch
burg April 81. He was at once taken
to the sanatorium where he has been
under treatment since Hesustained
q second attack at noon Wednesday
which resulted in his death.
John Warwick Daniel was born In
1912. He was OF q family prominent
in Virginia public life. He was a
leading lawyer, having received his
legal education at the University OF
Virginia.
Senator Daniel served in the Civil
War and was severely wounded in
the battle OF the Wilderness in 1864
which incapacitated him from further
service as q soldier He had risen to
the rank of major and was adiutant
general in Early's division.
Senator Daniel early became inter
ested in politics and at once became
q leader in his party. He served in
the Virginia House from 1869 to
1872 and in the State Senate from
1875 to 1881. He was nominated
for Governor in 1881 but was defeat
ed. In 1894 he was elected to Con-
gress and while he was serving his
first month of his term he was elect
ed to the Senate and took his seat in
that body succeeding Malone. He
has been member continuously since
and had already been elected for the
term beginning March 4, 1911.
Senator Daniel was one OF the
country's most noted orators and he
had delivered many prominent ad-
dresses in all parts of the country,
his greatest, perhaps, being the one
he delivered on the occasion OF the
unwilling OF the Washington Monu-
ment in 1885. He was one OF the
leaders OF the Democratic party, al
ways conservative and thoroughly
in accord with Democratic principles.

Good In All.

Warrenton Record.
Gov. Kitchin is doubtless delighted
that his old friend, the tobacco trust,
came to his aid in the bond matter.
1t couldn't have been more generous
if Locke Craig had been Governor.
In return for the help the trust will
expect to be let alone in North Caro-
lima in future-as it has been in the
past, and the bankers, too, may ex-
pect some little fayors for their help.
Statewide Landmark.
We have no patience with this sort
OF talk. We prefer to attribute good
motives to the bankers, American
Tobacco Company and private citi-
zens who subscribed for the State
bonds. We take it that the fight
against trusts is a matter of principle
and therefore cannot be swerved on
account of personal like or dislike OF
the men composing the trusts. We
can see no good that can spring
from attributing Interior motives to
their action.
We place their motives upon high
er plane and believe that the great
State of North Carolina cannot be
turned from its fight against private
monopolies because its bonds are
held by said monopolies. Veal have
warm personal friends in the Republi-
can party, men who are our neigh
bors, who do rs acts OF kindness and
who visit US when we are sick and
who break the bread around our table
and yet when political matters come
up, matters OF principle, we vote
against that neighbor and friend with
a conscience void of offence" And
so it is with the State of North Caro-
lima in it's treatment of its business
interests, it cannot be turned aside
nor it's lawmakers Influenced from do
ing their duty because one OF the
greatest trusts in the State has seen
fit to purchase it's bonds. Ithad the
money; it's president is a native
North Carolinian; its leading attor-
ney lives in the city OF Durham; why
should it not do a patriotic act,
prompted by love of the credit, and
the good name of North Carolina.
There is good in all; none, ALL
good"

Bread from Cotton Seed Flour.
Sanford Express.

Sanford Express.
At a banquet during the recent
meeting of cotton mill men in Char
lotte bread was served made from
cotton -four, the latest by-product OF
the cotton industry. 1t was made in
Charlotte and is destined to be fair
substitute, says The Observer, for
wheat -four. The manufacturers say
that to obtain the best result it should
be used in connection with wheat
-four, the bread then having the ap-
pearance of graham bread. The new
-four contains 49 per cent. protein
and s per cent. fat and is rather rich
to use alone in making bread. 1t is
said that the -four from cotton seed
will be much cheaper than wheat -four
and that it holds medical properties,
being especially good for people sui
fering from a arrangement OF the kid
neys.
