The Merchants Trou bles.

There are a few people in this
burg aud pretty nice people too,
who will enter a grocery store,
run their fingers into a barrel
and lop up a couple ounces OF
sugar, nibble at the back OF a
herring, eat q handful OF nuts,
cut off a slice of cheese, just to
taste, then, as matter of course,
must take q few crackers; and
perhaps before they have made
up their mind to buy q bar OF
soap they have eaten up the pro.
fits on ~ worth ofgroceries, and
to wind it all up they have it
charged, and the poor merchant
perhaps realizes o profit of one
cent. They leave the store mum
ching a couple OF apples. This
is no dream but a reality, except
sometimes they don't buy any
soap. But such is life.-Waxhaw

Tafts Independence.

In snmmarily dismissing Gil

antedated his action, for those

That the President has good

that the president has knocked
down more party gods than he
can pick up, if he has not run the
Republican ship upon dangerous

The Outlook for 1910.

The year 1910 begins with
glowing promise. The panic is
over at last The veriest pessi'
mist must concede this, Fac
tories of various kinds are book
ing orders as fast as they need
them. The farmers are in clov-
err. The railroads arc double
tracking as fast as possible in
preparation for the tremendous
traffic that is just ahead, and tits
not unlikely that with all their
INCREASED facilities they will he
overwhelmed before the year is
out. The wage-earner alone is
in a close place. Salaries have
not increased in proportion to
the cost Of living. and prices con-
tinue to soar. 1t Ia necessary
that sometimes be done for tn is
class OF our people if they are to
enjoy the revival of trade al
ong side their fellow citizens. The
cotton mill men are being hit
rather hard on account of Is
cent cotton, but they can s.'ale
their profits considerably and
suill prosper. The spirit OF edu-
cation continues to grow. Our
schools and colleges] are full and
many of them are crowded. In
religious matters, we are thank
iul to believe, we are making
steady progress. Our churches
are growing in the grace OF Civ
ing. Prosperity has not had the
usual effect oil closeing the heart
and drying up the springs OF
sympathy. This is the most
hopefu! feature OF the whole stu
alton. More money is being put
into church houses and into all
the causes of christian l,enevo-
lence than ever before. Taken al
together, we do not believe we
have ever entered upon a year
more auspiciously than in these
opening days OF the good year
1910 Every man and woman OF
us, before buckling on the armor
for the strenuous work ahead,
should pause and give pl aise to
Almighty God Tor His blessings
and grace and to ask for His
presence and help as we travel
along the way. Charity and

A Lost Art.

NOO iohS oHO ohViC NHo iCC-
tnre delivered IN st. Louis, on
the lest arts before "a small, Sc
l"ct gathering" says a loca !
scholar, lin the course Of which
the lecturer stroye very hard to
show how many arts and scien-
ces, totally unknown to us were
possessed by the ancients.
II was particularly impressed
by one statement concerning the
immense size oi some of the blocks
OF stone used in the temples of
Baalbec and the pyramids of f.
gypt and the enormous weight
of the great granite blocks from
which were hewn the giant stat
ues OF kings and gods. Some of
these blocks are computed to
weigh seventy-fve or eighty tons
and the lactuer intimated t h a t
the ancients must have possess.
ed engineering machinery superi
or to our own to be able to lift
and transport stones OF such i'm.
mense size and weight.
CAS- a fact, the great cranes
employed in our gunnery and ar
NOR plate works would pick uD
such blocks and carry them off
as easily as though they were
OF wood.
There is no mystery at oil a
bout the way in which t h e
blocks were moved. In several
histories Of Egypt there are re.
produced pictures found on the
wall OF all Egyptian tomb which
represents the moving OF one OF
the giant statues. Scores ofropes
were attached to 1t. and hun.
dreds of men stand ready wait
ing for the signal to pull The
statue is on n plank road an d
rests on rollers. Men with jars of
oil are greasing the rollers, ta-
king them out behind and pla.
cling them in position in front.
The superintendent of the work
stands on the pedestal with a
trumpeter by his side. In t h e
next picture he gives the signal,
the tlum eter sounds, and every
body pulls tor dear life, W h ! e
ovrrseers run up and down the
line with whips in their hands
making sure that the pulling is
we'll done.
"This is one of the lost arts
and no one need regret that it is
lost. We accomplish by injt nuity
and skill, what the old-timers
did by force. 1t is not probable
that anything Of value has ever
been lost, and, what is more to
the purpose, we know a hundred,
perhaps a thousand, usef u |
things OF which the ancients had
no conception, st. Louis Globe

The Ora ham Bust.
News and Observer.

That was q historic event in
the State Capital last night when
after able and eloquent address
es the bust OF William A. G rn-
ham was unveiled by Master
William A. Graham the fourth,
in the presence of distinguished
company OF patriotic North Gar
olinians, embracing not a Re W
descendants and relatives of the
great man whose bonored lea
lures were placed in a niche in
the Capitol where he had served
as Chief Executive of his native
Slate. The address OF Mr.. Frank
Nash, OF Hillsboro, was a glow.
ing picture OF the State in the
time in winch Graham was the
central and commanding figure.
The history OF those important
decade IS iIlumined by the lofty
character and distinguished ser.
vices OF William A. Graham, and
Mr.. Nash's address is a story OF
an importantperi of the States
history as well as the pen.plcture
OF a man whose greatness was
recognized in national as we'll as
State councils. Capt. Thomas W.
Mason, always eloquent and a.
ble in his public addresses, gave
the pictur, OF Graham and with
fitting analysis and portraiture
put the VILLAIN A. Graham OF
history a. a living light and ex-
elnplar to the youth of the Com
monwealth for all time to come.
His delineation of the spirit ol
the people OF the South was class
ic. The presentation of the bust
by Secretary OF State j. Bryan
Grimes, chairman OF the Histori.
cal Commission, which conceived
and executed the placing of the
Graham bust in the niche in the
Capital, was happy and was mar.
ked with patriotic fervor. In re
ceiving it for the State, the Gov.
ernor's brief speech was in h s
best vein and was worthy of the
historic occasion.
Thr Historical Commission il
to he ommpnd.d and congrat u.
late,l-tn be commended for the
conception OF the idea of putting
the bust of a famous North Car.
Gilman in the inches in the Capt.
tol, and to be congratulated in
the perfection of the work of the
first bust that has been placed in
position. The work by Ruckstuhl
was pronounced q perfect like
ness by Gov, Graham's sons
and old men who knew him.
They did not err in selecting Ora
ham as the first man to be thus
honored, for in the annals O
North Carolina no name stands
higher as an able and capable
public servant OF high ideals and
broad craftsmanship than that
OF William A. Graham. He was
not only recognized as q leader
of the first order of ability in his
State, which gave him the high
est honor, but az we'll in the Sen
ate OF the United States and the
Confederate States of America,
as cabinet officer, as candidate
for Vice. President and wise lea
ders of the party he was a ma
tional figure whose ripe judg-
ment and splendid ability gave
him place among "the few, the
immortal names that were not
born to die"

HE LEFT THE WORLD BETTER.

The Charlotte News.
Its not the bravest man whu
performs some act of valOr when
bands are playing martial strains
and the cheers of admirers set his
blood a-tingle with daring re-
solve.
The real hero is the man who
ia sometimes found in the center
Of most unpretentious stage set-
ting-who labors and tolls iaith-
fully in the zone where Fortune
has cast his lot.
Such a man was s O o m o n
Jones, and OF his service to his
fellowmen The French Broad
Hustler pays this glowing trib-
ute:
"There is beautiful road which
runs from Hendersonville, North
Carolina, to the summit of Mt.
Hebron, near by. On a clear,
far-looking height of this high.
way there is a headstone placed,
and on it is this epitaph:
Here lies Solomon Jones, h Q
Roadmaker,
A True Patriot.
He labored fifty years to leave
the world better than he found
it.
A traveller who saw it, IN Jour-
npying through the South, was
80 impressed With this epitaph
that he wrote to the "WOrld's
Work" about it, and it was re-
printed there in all it's forceful
simplicity.
Those young people who have
vague longiugs for patriotism
will do well to consider Solomon
Jones. Like everybody else in the
world, be lived on q road or
street. But unlike many others,
when he wanted to serve h g
country and make the world bet
ter, he set to work right on that
road-his own native, obscure
road, not a far-away, glittering
highway of dreams. There vas
where his patriotism came light
down to facts and action. A
stony mountain road is not poe
tic; it is exasperating and toll
some. The task of making it
better is hard and not spectac-
ular, and the neighbors are not
usually eager TO lend a hand. 1t
il not a matter OF a week or q
year either. Solomon Jones wor-
ked fifty years, and probably was
laughed at and criticised for
twenty-five. But he was O pa
triot-a true patriot-the kind
of patriot that every neighbor-
hood needs, if America is to I've
greater every year. Who will
follow Solomon Jones example?
