Why Not aSpeak Out?.

Booker T. Washington, who is about
to travel through Texas with a party
of friends on a lecture tour has char
teredia special Pullman a because
it is said, he was unbale to engage
b. his or sections on account of his
color. Therefore, the New York EVEN.
ing Post is moved to complain against
what it calls gross discrimination
AGAINST his race and to remark that
if 'he would speak out, we believe
that he could impress the country
deeply by telling what he knows
about the feeling for the c0lored peo-
pie in regard to the jim Crow stigma
daily placed upon them"
Meanwhile, before Booker Washing
ton begins Ito speak out we wish
The Evening Post would espeak N
also and tell a wondering world why
a white man is permitted to chase
Booker Washington through the
stress of New York. beat and despite
fully use him, without suffering any
severe penalty if the law. The disting
.uished coIofed educator may be sub
iected to someehardship in the mat
ter of travelling in the South, but
never in a Southern city ha she found
travel through the streets, day ar
night, attended with peril
The opinion of The Evening Post
on the relative polgnancy of the Jim
Crew stigmas" and assault and bat

The Bargain Hunter.

Every community has its bargain
hunter. Among the retail merchants
also bargain hunters are to be found
These may be defined as those who
are constantly seeking to own things
below their real value Are such peo-
pie an advantage to the community or
to themselves?
Any thing sold below the cost of pro
duction means to that extent ruin to
the producer. The demand Of the bar
gain hunter induces the manufactures
to produce the cheapest thing possible
with little regard to service. In the
end such merchandise is the most
costly of all. Hence the bargain hun
ter demoralizes the manufactures, and
induces the merchant to handle goods
which he knows are not worth the
price,, but to satisfy his trade he rakeS
the markets with a fine tooth comb to
find things to sell cheap.
The man or woman who spends the
time hunting for bargains is apt to lose
in time what is made in the imagf-
4lary saving. Take the consumer
who wants to live and to compare him
with the one who is never so happy
Jas when Boosting Of having found
something real cheap and below cost,
and note the difference. The lastnam-
ed has really paid more counting the
loss of time in the search. Then there
is that Cheap" feeling which the par
gain hunter must always have; and
we are constrained to conclude that he
or she is wisest who is willing to- pay
a reasonable profit and who gets the
best goods.-Ex.

Sugarless Ewes

+ The thrifty intrepid danes CT Town
send, Del, have registered a vow to
boycott sugar until the price comes
down. They will drink their tea un-
sweetened, or wit hglucose. They will
renounce their beloved art of Gus
tard-making and in all the land about,
there will be no more fudge. They
will buy nc candy and bake no cakes
but lead an absolutely sugarless exis-
tence until the trust comes to terms.
Where in all history is there to be
found such another example of wom-
ankind's sacrifc?, Heroines of old
may have cut off their tresses for
bow-strings or have gone smilingly
to their fate as martyrs, but never
before, so far as we recall, have
the daughters of Eve torn themselves
away from chocolate drops and sug-
ar.
An iron-blooded band those Town
send housewives must bek This is
the season for preserving fruit in
Delaware and every normal woman's
mind is looking forward to row upon
row of peaches and p1ums in jars,
to all manner of jellies and jams,
cordials, wines and what-not. Yet, in
a truly Spartan spirit of independence
they put by all these temptations and
now they will use no more sugar until
it returns to a reasonable price.
More than this they have address
ed a petition tc congress asking that
sugar be put on the free list and this
document is now being circulated
throughout the state for signatures.
A politician may eyade the ladies
when they ask the right to vote but
he can never escape them on such
an issue as this. The monopolies
may defy ths government but they
can never Withstand the united deter
mination OF housewives who prove
their mettle by f~orswearing sugar

Keeping Promises

o. Henry, beloved by every editor
in the country, sometimes was the
bane CT their lives. One of the stories
of his whimsical sayings which has
just come to light will help to ex-
plain why no one could harbor wrath
against him. The humorist had
promised to write. a story for enc of
the big magazines, but it failed to
arrive after many requests. Finally
the editor went to %. Henry's apart
ment and sent up a curt note: If
I don't have that story within twenty
four hours T will come up and kick
you down stairs, / always keep my
promises O. Henry promptly sent
back this note:
Dear Bill: If / did all my work
with my feet I'd keep my promises,
too.

Teaching Respect For Editors
Landmark.

Statesville Landmark.
Mr.. Mr.. T.. f. Click, of Hickory,
newspaper man who has many friends
and acquaintances in Irede1l was, for
a short time, editor. Of The Lncolnton
Times, he got into a controversy with
G. T. Heafner, superintendent of Lin
coin county schools, about the admin
istration of the school fund. The
school man thought the editor was
charging him with misrepresentation
of the funds, and meeting thel news
paper man on the street he fell upon
him and belabored him full ore
The editor is not as young as he once
was and was outclassed in the scrap.
~whereupon he sought relief in dam
age suit in the courts. The first hear
ing resulted in a mistrial and before
the case was called a second time a
compromise was arranged, the de-
Hfendant paying the plaintiff 5000 and
all costs of the action. Newspaper
man generally are beholden to Mr..
Click for making it clear that it ~
dangerous business to jump on an cdr
tor. It is by no means always u
in the first place, that the editor is go
ing to be second best in the scrap, but
even if he is licking him may prove
to be an expensive luxury, as it was
in this case.

Seer Rules

DR.. D. &. P~earsona, Of Chicago,
is both a wise and generous man. He
has given away hundreds of thou-
sands Of dollars to colleges and school
and has spent his long life Of ninety
years in helping young people towards
making the best of themselves. In
a Chicago paper, recently. he gave
this advice to young men who de-
sire to achieve success IN life:
Keep the Ten Commandments.
go to bed early and sleep eight
hours.
Don't worry.
Eat moderately of Whosesome food.
Sleep with your window open.
Avoid ill-temper and all extremes
Of emotion.
are the essentials of a successful
career"
None of these things demand money
or a college education. DR.. Pear
sons aimed at advice that would fit
everyone, and that anyone could fol-
low. Nevertheless, it is net cheap,
IduE1C6 dAu dny yOuAS HAL TAXING II
will be just that much nearer PROS
pefity. When a man has lived to
be ninety, and knows large affairs,
he can pick out the essentials, and
can tell real success from its coun-
terfeit. Seven simple ruIes-so sim
pie as to seem commonplace to
many aspiring young minds-are ap
DR.. Pearson gives. But, if any young
man will try keeping them all he
will find that the longer he lives, the
more he will think Of each short rule
as a path of progress.
At twent years of age, ambition may
think carelessly of the Ten Command
ments. At ninety years, a man
knows they are the foundation stones
of life, and that to be honest, chaste
and sober is to avoid the most fatal
dangers hat menace young souls.
He who follows these Seven rules is
safe-and Wise-The Uplift.

Paper Dollar Won't De
New York SUM

How in this world New York babies
can ever get decent teeth with no
silver dollar to cut them on is more
than I can understand" said a West
ern woman. why, in Nevada, and
all those western states a baby who
doesn't cut his teeth on a silver dol.
lar is a pariah from the date of his
first tooth. The minute his little
gums begin to swell the newest, Shin
lest dollar the minis can produce is
obtained for him to chew on. No
other silver coin will answer. Dimes,
quarters, and half dollars may be
just as new and shiny, but a baby
with a big mouth can push them down
his throat. But a dollar is big enough
to resist absorption"

Its Scenic Beauties Described.
TO the Editor of The Observer:
Col. Fred A. Olds' interesting arti-
Gle. IN North Carolina's High Places,
appearing in The Observer of septem
Der IL, is incorrect in n particular,
as follows:
'eThe Asheville end Of this remark
able road is being looked after by
DR.. e. w. Groye. of st. Louis. who is
doing some remarkable development

tain Improvement, hotel, ETC., includ-
ing an incline railway from his park
to the top Of Sunset mountain. a dis
lance of 5000 feet, the incline being
35 degrees. This incline railway is
to be the first in the North Carolina
mountain region and is to be COM
pleted next spring"
In Laurel park, a private estate of
$50 acres of wonderful natural beau
ty, owned by Mr.. w. A. Smith. and
reached by the Laurel park street
railway, there is an incline railway
which has been in successful opera
ton for two years past During that
time it has carried many thousands
of passengers from the present ter
minus of the street railway to the
summit of Mount Echo, in the park,
from whose tower is upfolded a pan
Drama of mountain scenery almost
startling in it's magni6cence.
The road leads straight up and
through the heavily timbered noun
tain side, a great wide sWath cut
through the dense growth of silver
pine and twisted ~rhoddendronl AS
the a mounts higher and higher,
the wide-sprawled town of Hender-
sonville, then the plains beyond, and
finally the giants circle of tremen-
dous mountains, some of them the
highest peaks this side of the Rock
les, become visible.
This, the first incline railway built
in western North Carolina, is approx
imately one thousand feet in length,
The incline is forty-fve per- cent.
When the passenger finally lands in
the tower on the top of Mount Echo
he is 1850 feet above the waters OF
the Atlantic. There are two commo-
dious cars used, one counterbalancing
the other. While a powerful electric
motor in the power station at the
top of the mountain, but very little
current is actually used to operate
the cars, they, as stated conterbal-
ancing each other. 1t takes three
minutes to make the trip each way,
and while thousands of passengers
have been transported over the line
during the two years it has been in
operation, the first accident of any
kind is yet to be recorded.
Within three hundred feet of this,
"the first inclined railway built in
the North Carolina, mountain region
