THINGS MONEY CAN NOT But.

Beware lest thou. in any sense. in
any respect. despise the poor man be-
cause Of his poverty. Ever since the
blessed Saviour lived in a poor mans
home and worked a. the carpenters
trade the poor mans house has been
sacred place. and the laboring mans
vocation sacred thing.
The earthly life Of the Son OF Man
has illuminated the plain and homely
things Of life. A mans house may
be very humble one; there may be
no carpet on the foo; the furniture
may be plain; the fare may be simple
and scanty; but there may dwell a
glory there which shall cause the
plainesi and poorest things to shine
with a radiance as from heaven.
Things may be ,he-e more precious
than any that can be purchased al
the furniture dealers or al the
cloihier's. Peace. contentmen,. kind
ness. affection may be there--ihings
which no money can buy.

A SUDDEN CALL.

The entire state was shocked this
morning with the keenest pang Of sor-
row when II became known tina, Col.
ISeiIl Archibald Mclean. Of Robson
county, had died last night at the
Marlborough house In Raleigh, where
he was on bsiness. The summons
was a sudden and unexpected one. He
was In apparently good health Tues
day. and only complained Of not feel
Ing well Wednesday.
Col Mclean was of Scotch descent
and the traditions Of Scotland were
a passion with him. He was a
learned lawyer. q brilliant advocate
a resourceful practitioner and had
won place as the head Of the bar in
his county and section. Handsome

Of very gathering. and knit his

RoiD BUILDING.

The condition OF the roads % an,
section affects every interest Ever,
citizen. whether in active business OF
retired. should favor evc~y move fol
better roads. Not only does the
farmer lose his crop, or part OF it
or reach the market too late, and con-
sequently is mourning over an all
around loss in value Of the crop, but,
as a unit among thousands of other
farmers located on bad roads, the fall
|ure in getting these commodities TO
the consumers proportionately re-
duces the supply and causes a rise
|of prices at the points OF consumption.
Here is a direct influence over the
cost OF living, exacting additional toll
from the toiling wage-earner. This,
In turn, affects the business Of savings
banks and OF merchants and others
using farm products in canneries and
other food preserves.
The building of good roads is not
necessarily an expensive matter. II
is true that good roads cost money.
but If road-builders will follow the
suggestion OF Prof. NJ. Goode Homes.
Of the department of civil engineering
in the University of South Carolina,
every township can have good sand
clay roads at practically very small
expense.
Writing of this system of road
recently. Prof. Homes said:
The sand-clay road is elastic and
esilient and thus will not stiffen UP
he teams as In the case Of the harder
surface: our climate Is not cold
enough for them TO be injured by
rost; and for years to come they win |
,e strong enough TO bear our average !
rafiic. Again. when traffic becomes
% heavy as TO require a more en-
Turing surface. the old sand-clay road
will be found to be the finest possible |
iub-grade for this improved surface. /
thus We see that a sand-clay road, |
properly constructed, will never out
i've It's usefulness"

A CHILD STUDY.

Spare the rod and spoil the child
is an axiom that is responsible TO
many a grieYous error in the up
bringing of children. The old idei
was that some childr are natural.
lazy and some are not, and that il i
incumbent upon the parents AM
teachers OF the former class to drive
out the laziness by a liberal applica
ton of hickory oil, or by such othei
punishments as have been found tc
be effective, though milder. Closer
study of the young human animal has
resulted in the discovery that lazy
children are to be sharply differenti-
ated into two very distinct types, and
that special handling is required for
each. A child may be active and
eady enough to play ball but slow
and Indifferent when It comes to split
ting kindling. Such an one is not
lazy physically, but is deficient in
moral training. He needs to be shown
the advisability of undergoing the
WEAKNESS OF doing occasionally what
he prefers not to do, and of leaving
undone, what he would be very much
pleased to do. The method of the
demonstration must be left for cir
cumstances to determine. and IL
milder measures are Intellectual a
kindly but thorough application of the
switch is oftentimes of inestimable
value
But there is another kind of child
who. while showing greater eagerness
for play than for work. exhibits moth
ing approaching normal aptitude for
either. Their interest is hard TO
arouse and soon flags. Such children
used to be the bane of teachers. They
we're termed stupid il not vlciously
Indifferent. Modern child-lovers have
discovered that the large majority of
such cases are due either to INSULT |
.ient food or 10 bodily defects. The
yes. ears. nose, throat and teeth, II
examined by a physician. would be |
likely TO reveal facts which would |
make the teacher weep In contrition
or any harshness she may have
hown. Sick children differ from sick
Idults in this important particular.
hat the latter generally realize what
he trouble is or. at any rate. that
rouble Of a physical kind exists while
he former as a rule do not. To sub
ect this type OF child to the terror OF
is TO risk serious damage
o development aside from the un-
'earable cruelty Of the proceeding.
The next time you, parent, or you.
eacher. decide TO infict a sound
hrashing upon an irritating charge.
will be quite worth while to reflect
whether that charge is going to de-
i've benefit therefrom. Very possibly
he belongs TO the first class de-
cribed he will Very certainly II to
be latter class he will not.

MILL SETTLEMENT WORK.

In Saturdays issue OF the Durham
Sun there was an item OF news that
should be given more than passing
notice. The Durham Hosiery mill,
ever progressive. has inaugurated a
system Of welfare work among its
employees that is perhaps the first of
lis kind undertaken In the south.
The company has secured the services
Of trained nurse TO look after the
sick employees and render the proper
medical attention.
For generations employees have
given the best part OF their lives
laboring for others and ofttimes barely
securing living wages. Oficials ex-
pected only servitude. and never gave
a moments consideration to the moral
or physical condition Of their laborers.
During the last decade mill men and
factory owners have been endeapring
TO bring sunshine and happiness TO
the men. women and children whom
they employ.
That one Of the largest concerns In
the south, with headquarters in this
city. Is leading In the betterment work
for the employees should be a source
Of much satisfaction to every optimist
and add a convincing argument 10
all who seem to believe that the world
is not becoming better. II Is also
with pride that Durham claims this
mill and the leaders are DurhamItes.
