DOES NOT APPLY TO CHATHAM.

Chatham county is a law unto it
self. In every other town and county
in the world the marriages in June
were numerous, and in nearly all OF
them June is the favorite month for
marriages. But the Siler City Grit
says that there were no marriages in
that county for June and attributes
their absence to the fact that mar
riages are dependent upon the posses
sion Of money. Here is its arguments:
We casually commented last fall
upon the unusual number of mar
riages that were taking place in this
section and attributed the fact to the
high price OF cotton. The esteemed
News and Observer took exception to
our view Of the matter and comment
ed upon it thuswise:
"Matrimony is one industry. or
state, or relationship that is not
affected by time or tide or high
prices or low prices, When the
scantily dressed Cupid pulls his
bow and lets the arrow fly, he
does so without observing the
prices at the Cotton Exchange or
looking at the weathe signals.
1t may be hat in Chatham the
rabbit crop has some relation to
m~atrimOny, but everywhere else
the true definition of love. as
given by an immortal bard, is:
90 love, it am a curious thing
Shaped just like a lizard,
1t quiris its tail upon it's back
And goe right through you giZ-
zard."
WHO supposes that Cupid cares
In- - G-~ ~. e
teen? People who are poo marry
for CompaniOnship and sympa-
thy; people who are fairly we'll
TODD marry because they wish to
have comradeship and assistance;
people who are rich marry be-
cause they need a companion to
bcguile them. There were as
many marriages in the lays Of five
Cert cotton, were there not, as
in the days of fifteen cent cot
tom"
"TO all this we rise to cite the fact
that there has not been a single mar
rage in this section during the month
Of June; and June, be it understood
is commonly supposed to be the
month OF the blushing brides and
confident graduates. This but goes to
prove the truth of our first statement
that love is entirely dependent upon
pOcket-bOOk, for whore marriage

A WORD ABOUT THE CROP
COTTON WILL PICK UP
FAVORABLE CoEDTTIOSS-THE
vEFt,AT CROP GOOD - CORN
RATHER SLOW.

Reports received by the Depart
ment OF Agriculture as to the condl-
ton of the cotton crop indicate that
something like an average crop a
be realized with fairly favorable sea-
sons for the remainder of the summer.
The plants are now two weeks late,
but will develop rapidly under favora-
bic conditions.
The wheat crop just harvested Is
represented to be exceptionally good
in all wheat sections OF the State.
Corn seems backward, especially in
the matter of the filling out OF the
ears. 1t is feared that the crop Will
be below what was expected the first
of the season.
Cotton planters say that a very large
part of the fertilizer used this season
wa made of no value on our or
the long rains. h fertilizer sales
were as large a. they have ever been.
A prominent farmer of IenOir cOun-
tv stated that he had never seen crops
worse than they are now in that sec
ton of the State.

BISHOP. Cal, April 20.-Mounted
on a COW pony and armed with a rifle
Mrs. Kate Wells of the camp of Al
tair. near Lone Pine, assisted by her
brother and son also armed with re
v~olvcrs and rifles, yesterday had 4
pitched battle with Attorney Warren
of Bishop. over a mining claim at
Affair.
During the battle a number OF
shots were fired and although the
contestants were unframed. an limo
cent bystander was shot through the
arm.
After several minutes OF firing
Warren charged the fort of Mrs
Wells and her allies and disarmed
them all, although Mrs. Wells was
mounted. She did not attempt to re-
treat when the battle grew hot 1t Is
said. but attacked Warren with more
determination and that he was not
riddled with bullets was due to the
poor craftsmanship of Mrs. Wells
and her two male companions.
Warrants have been issued by
Warren for the arrest Of Mrs. Wells
and her companions at independence
and it is believed that this is only
the beginning of the trouble. Mrs
| Wells was the original locator OF the
ground in question.

Death. Ancient and Modern.

DS2Sn, NHCionS &Ho HooSi'"
The art Of the aDcientS would cec-
tainiy seem to show that their concep-
ton Of death was q much more cheer
full one than that which has obtained
IN later times. It was at one time
thought that the old Greeks and Esyp-
tians had no artistic symbol for death.
but this was o misconception. Death
was almost invariably represented By
them as the kinsnaD Of sleep. The
Greeks personified it as ThaDatos. e!d-
or brother Of Sleep. The Romans
sometimes depicted Death and Sleep
as twin children repos!ns in the arms
Of Night. The skull End crossbones
and the skeleton as emblems Of death
do not appear to have become COM
mon until comparatively late Christian
times. 1t has been suggested that the
terrible famines and pestiienccs which
scoursed Europe during the middle
ages were responsible for the fear or
horror with which the modern mind
IS usually accustomed to look upon
death.
