WANT PARK MADE
OF CEMETERY

The Board of Health yesterday
afternoon decided to call City Coun-
ellis attention again to the need Of
condemning the colored cemeteries at
Front and Union streets. DIR. Beck
said they we're undoubtedly a menace
to the public health, as shown by in
spections made by members of Coun-
ell. Although City Council has al
ready considered acquiring the Gene
teries and converting them into park
land, the Board of Health will again
bring the subject up.

CARLISLE AND REED.

ANCIENT IDEAS OF AFRICA.

In medieval times Africa was an
unknown continent as well as Asia.
Until a few years after the discovery
of Columbus no one had sailed around
it, and il was quite generally thought
as it had previously been thought in
regard TO Asia, that the African con-
unent extended on and on indefinitely.
1t was supposed that far to the south
was the zone of heat. in which no hui
man being could live. This was by no
means an unreasonable inference 10
the ancients. They knew that the far
Their they sailed TO the north the colder
II grew, and that in the extreme north
was region of perpetual snow They
also knew that the farther they sailed
10 the south the warmer it grew, and
what was more natural for them To
suppose that If they went far enough
IN that direction they would come uD-
on lands that were parched and baked
and upon seas that boiled, where moth
ing could live but salamanders?

HELP FOR FRUIT RAIsERs.

Utah is interested in the fruit grow
ing industry one of the first things
the pioneers did was TO set out fruit
trees, and it goes without saying that
Utah was the pioneer fruit growing
state in the whole west.
1t has been the policy of the Re-
publican party to protect fruit grow
ing as well as everything else pro-
duced by American labor. Many ad-
vantages have been realized in the
past few years by the fruit raisers.

GERAIANY,s AMBITION.

of being grabbed by Germany at the

According TO d correspondent Of the
Pail Mall Gazette at the German
school at the Rue des Minimes the
map Of the Netherlands used for
teaching the children shows Belgium
and Holland marked as destined to
form part of the German empire

CRAZE DYING OUT.

The 'chain prayer is not so popu-
lar as it was either in this country OF
abroad. The preachers are denounc-
ing it as the invention OF fanatics and
nuisance.
One Of the pastors in Great Brit
ain. members Of whose flock had re-
eeived such prayers. with the usual
request that they pass them on to
nine other persons, figured out the
chain prayer proposition.
According to his view it might be
a good thing for the postoffice if the
whole population took to writing
chain prayers, but an intolerable nui-
sance to the public.
With nine persons as a starter.
eighty-one would be involved in the
second round, 729 in the third. 1851
in the fourth, 59,049 in the fifth. $751;
AL in the sixth, ASP, 500 in the sew
enth and 1906, 721 in the eighth.
Every one in Great Britain would re-
ceive the chain prayer on or about the
eighth day, the whole of Europe
would get it on the ninth and the
whole world the day after.
The craze has died out in the Unit
ed States and. judging from the out
cry it will have but a short run in
England.

PAssING on VETERANS.


Immediately following the civil war
the soldier abounded in the halls of
Congress. Men who had served IN
the great conflict and achieved dis
tinction were naturally chosen by
the voters TO represent them in times
of peace. The south. as well as the
north, delighted to do them honor
We had a succession Of soldier
Presidents. Grant the great COM
mander, being followed by Hayes,
Garfield and Harrison.
Today there are only thirty-seven
veterans OF the civil war in Congress-.
Twenty years ago there We're 106. At
the beginning of the last session Of
Congress there were forty veterans in
tire Senate and House. Three OF these
old warriors. Daniel McEnery and
McI.aurin. old Confederates, have
died.
In the Senate at the beginning Of
the session were the following seven
Union veterans. Buckley. Connect
cut; Burrows, Michigan; Du Point
Delaware; Nelson. Minnesota; Scott
West Virginia; Warner Missouri, ana
v arren. Wyoming The nine Confed-
crates We're: Bacon, Georgia; Bank
head, Alabama; Daniel Virginia.
Johnston. Alabama; McEnery, LOuisi-
ana; McLaurin. Mississippi; Martin,
Virginia; Money Mississippi and Tai

In the lower house there were fiji
teen Union veterans and nine Confed-
crates. On the Union side there We're

New York, Barclay and Bingham OF
Pennsylvania. Calderhead Of Kansas.
Capron. of Rhode Island. Gardner OF
New Jersey Graham of Pennsylvania,
Hollingsworth of Ohio, Howell Of New

The Confederates. are Estopinal Of
Louisiana, Gordon of Tennessee,
Jones and Lamb of Virginia, Living
ston Of Georgia, Richardson OF Ala
bama, Spight of Mississippi, Talbot
of Maryland and Taylor Of Alabama.
Many interesting stories could be
related of the veterans who are
statesmen as wei as soldiers. At the
present time the highest ranking
Union veteran is J. w. Keller Of Ohio.
who was a major general of volun-
teers. Sherwood of Ohio and Bing-
ham of Pennsylvania were brigadier
generals. The highest ranking Con-
federate veteran in Congress is George
W. Gordon OF Tennessee, who was a
brigadier general and who is now
commander-in-chief of the Confed-
crate Veterans association.
The average age of the veterans Of
the Senate is 90 years. In the House

Would AlEAN LOW MAGEs.

The New York Herald, which hasn't
any pronounced political or religious
views upon ordinary occasions, IS
very decidedly in favor of the present
protective tariff. Frank Munsey, the
well-knOwn publisher. recently took a
decided stand on this same question,
and in endorsing his remarks the
Herald said:
Are American labor organizations
prepared TO accept the inevitable
consequences of a radical down
ward revision OF the TARIFF one
OF those consequences, and one
which directly concerns labor,
must be a reduction of wages.
The abandonment wholly or
partially, by the United States
of the high protective principle
would so stimulate foreign com
petition with home industries
that manufacturers, to meet il,
would be forced TO lower the
present rate of wages.
II they did not, foreign competition
would sweep them out of exist
ence, throwing labor out of en-
plOyment. AS Mr.. Munsey says,
if the tariff is lowered. wages
must be lowered. You cannot
have both high wages and low
er tariff
1t is for the workingman to decide
by his vote whether he wants lower
wages. President Mckinley once said
that cheap money made cheap men.
1t is likewise true that a low tariff
means low wages.

FUNNY ERRoR-HoNEsT NEGRO.

Although 1t is not to be denied that
the world Is full Of people who are al
ways on the lookout for the main
chance, who are not particular how
they get ahead, so ahead they get, 1t Is
pleasant and reassuring to know that
there are many people still VINO DO
not want anything that Is not theirs,
and who will have nothing that does
not properly belong to them. This
story from Glover Is worth printing.
There is a negro up at Glover, who
goes by the name of Little" Andy
Jackson. the Little" being used to
distinguish him from another negro of
the same name. Little Andy is well
known to all the whites Of Glover and
vicinity, and is generally held in high
esteem as a straightforward, honest
negro, who is always polite and oblig-
ing as we'll as thoroughly honest.
A few days ago, Little Andy went in
to the bank of Glover and handed Mr..
]. A. Page, the cashier, check, with
the request that it be cashed. Little
Andy cannot read; but when he heard
Mr.. Page announce the amount OF the
check as 1856, he pricked up his ears
and said:
Whats dat boss?"
1.-TWO hundred and fifty-six dollars"
repeated Mr.. Page.
Oats wrong" declared the negro,
"'cause dats too much"
At the suggestion Of Mr.. Page, the
negro produced his bill of sale, which
showed four bales Of cotton at S256,
and Mr.. Page insisted that everything
was all right.
But I didn't have four bales" said
Andy, 81 only had three"
With this additional light on the
mystery, Mr.. Page called up Mr.. Jones,
the Gastonia buyer who had given the
check and explained the situation to
him. Mr.. Jones looked his book and
announced that the number of bales
was right, the weights were right and
the check was right.
Little Andy still insisted that there
was something bad wrong; that he only
had three bales; that the amount OF
money was too much for three bales
of the weight Of his at the price at
which they were sold, and he would
not take the money. Later the trouble
was cleared up at the Gastonia end OF
the line. Mr. Jones found that by
curious mistake one Of the bales had
been entered on his books twice by its
identical number and weights, and that
he had counted and paid for four bales
where he should have paid for only
three.
