Lending and Selling.

The Supreme Court of North Car
olina refuses to give its sanction to
the dignilied performance of whip
ping the devil round the stump.
George Mitchell, Winston negro,
was charged with selling pint OF
whiskev to Jake Curry. Curry testi-
fled that he paid 50 cents for the IL
quor and owed 25 cents on it, while
Mitchell testified that he loaned the
pint of whiskey to Curry, who said
his whiskey would arrive next day
that the agreement was that Curry
was to cancel ihe loan by returning
a bottle of his whiskey.
The lower court found Mitchell
guilty under the statute. An appeal
was taken to the supreme court;
and now our highest court affirms
the decision, declaring that loan
of whiskey was a sa!e-and this
whether the offender be street cor
ner loafers of the colored persuasion
or a gentleman Of the upper ten
who belongs to clubs and things. -

COTTON PICKING MACHINE TESTED.
Spectators Who Watched 1t Operate
Declare Work Perfect.

The Charlotte IN. c. News says:
Here for the first time in the
worlds history is a thoroughly prac-
tical and successful mechanical cot
ton picker. 1t picks the cotton and
it picks it clean and in better condi-
ton than the hand picker.
The machine is almost human in
its selectiveness. Without injury to
the plant, the green boil or the few
scattering leaves the worms have
overlooked, the picking fingers Of
this truly wonderful machine take
the lint out Of the open burrs and
leave them bare. After the machine
has passed, the plant is there, erect,
uninjured and only the cotton has
disappeared. 1t is almost magic.
Think what this machine means to
the cotton belt-yes, and to the world
at large, far more than ever before
in the worlds history cotton is king.
To have a cotton picker that will
work six days in the week, every
week; that will not get drunk or
move over night TO the other fellow s
farm for 10 cents more a hundred,
and that will even pick at night if
you want to mount a searchlight in
front of the drivers seat! 1t is a
dream come true. 1t is marvellous,
but is very real.
The machine was stopped as the
crowd gathered around, and the cas-
ings of the picking mechanism oper-
ated. Within were tapering stee'
fingers hundreds of them-eack
with very small teeth or barbs cut
the full length of the fingers on one
of its sides, and all the fingers in
serted in revolving steel tubes or
castings. AS the machine travels for
ward astride a row Of cotton. these
little fingers are thurSt into the
plant from either side, and, revolv
ing rapidly, catcn the open lock
and wind it quickly with cotto1
cease to revolve as they are draw
out of the plant and pass through
the stationary stripping bars from
which the cotton drops to the car

machine ready to start on its jour
ney to the gin. And all this take

Cursed God and Has Been Helpless
Ever Since.

Mr.. Henry Sheriff., of the Iron
Station community, while on visit
to relatives here last week, told an
interesting story concerning one of
his neighbors, Abe Hester, a man of
so years and we'll to do farmer.
He said that in June Hester, who
had evidently worried about the
drouth and the loss Of crops until he
became unbalanced although up
to the moment he appeared sane en-
ough-got out in his yard one day
and cursed the Almighty to all the
variations of profanity he could
muster, because no rain fell to re-
lieve the crops. Following this says
Mr.. Sheriff., he got out his shotgun
and discharged it three times IN the
air as a token of his feelings toward
Deity. All at once he collapsed, and
from that day to this has lain help
less on his bed, unable to move or
speak, recognizing no one. Physl-
clans called in found him complete
| lly paralyzed.-Hlckory Democrat.

THANKSGIVING.

For the sunshine and the rain,
For the dew and for the shower,
For the yellow, ripened grain,
And the golden harvest hour,
We bless Thee, oh, our God!
For the heat and the shade,
For the gladness and the grief,
For the tender, sprouting blade,
And for the nodding sheaf,
We bless Thee, oh, our Godl
For the hope and for the fear,
For the storm and for the peace,
For the trembling and the cheer,
And for the glad increase,
We bless Thee, oh, our God!
Our hands have titled the sod,
And the torpid seed have sown;
But the quickening was of God,
And the praise be His alone.
We bless Thee, oh, our God.

Carolina 4, W. and l. 0.

Chapel Hill, Nov. 2O.-Saturday
afternoon, in a gale of wind at Nor
folk, Va, the football team of the
University Of North Carolina de-
feated the strong team of Washing
ton and Lee University by the score
of 4 to o..
During the first three quarters of
the game the ball was kept almost
wholly in Washington and Lees ter
ritory. In the last quarter, Wash
ington and Lee took on new strength
and threatened Cardinals goal.
Here a tumble by her opponents
gave Carolina the ball, which Tillett
bunted to safety.
The two scores of the game were
two ''safeties" made in the first
and second quarters. Each time a
w. and L. man with the ball was
tackled behind his own goal.
Carolina team showed strength
and used only the simplest plays OF
the season. Her whole strength will
be shown in the game with Virginia
on Thanksgiving Day. Washington
and Lees particular star was Miles
who played an excellent game.

BIRTH OF The EARTH.
Chicago Astronomer Says 1t Was Born
In a Solar Storm.

According to a Chicago dispatch
to a New York paper, Prof. F. R.
Moulton, associate professor Of as
tronomy in the University of Chica-
go, declares that the earth was born
IN solar storm. Storms so ter
rifle that the human mind is unable
to comprehend their force are CON-
mon on the sum- says Professor
Moulton. matter is sometimes
thrown out 275, 900 miles. The at
traction of the sun usually draws
this nebula back, but when the world
was formed another sun with
counter-pull of gravity drew the
material out into space, and this
mass solidified and formed the
earth.''
The Montgomery Advertiser thinks
Professor Moulton '.certainly has
good memory" but the chances are
that his memory is not so good as
his Imagination is vivid. We do not
envy those persons who are ready to
accept the Moulton theory of the
birth of the earth, for it is likely to
lead them into field of unsatisfac-
tory and Improbable speculation.
They may next want to know wheth-
er the moon and the stars were like
wise born Of the sun and how. in
fact the sun itself came to be.
The Biblical theory is slightly op-
posed to that of Professor Moulton.
1t holds that in the beginning God
created the heaven and the earth;
that the earth was without form
and void, but that He gave it form
and filled it with living things; that
darkness was upon the face of the
deep, but that He commanded light
and it came; that He divided the
light from the darkness, calling the
one day and the other night, and
that He made the greater light to
rule the day and the lesser light to
rule the night. That theory is good
enough for most Of US. The average
man likes to believe, in his saner
moments, that there is God Al
mighty; that He made the earth just
as the Bible says He did, and that in
His own good time lie viii destroy
it, but that He has prepared for
those of US who deserve it another
and better country in which to
dwell always-a country Of peace
and plenty, where nothing can en-
ter to give us pain or make us afraid;
where there will be no politics and
where the cost Of living is not so
high that any of US will have to work
over time.-Bristol Herald-Courier.

The States Best frieDd.

The great body Of North Carolin-
ians who love their state and its
good name, who believe in justice
and mercy, who are not satisfied
with careless administrator Of JUS
tice which looks only to the dollar
that is involved, have in Judge Allen
an exponent and leader of whom
they may well be proud. Coupled
with his great judicial mind and long
experience, he has within him a
great heart, combination that
makes him the man, the Mort Caro-
linian that he is. His charge to the
grand jury in this county recently,
in which he called for certain refor-
nations in convict camps and other
institutions in the state, shows the
love he has for the commonwealth,
and the sentiment expressed is SO
far above that which comes from
the sordid as we'll as cruel policy
that has been in vogue in some To-
calities, we may well pause to re-
joice in the helpful innovation. We
believe that the few words that
Judge Allen casually let fall from
his lips will be taken up and will re-
suit in great change in the system
that now prevails.
For SO years North Carolina has
arisen no higher than the "self-sus-
tanning" policy in dealing with Of

81 YEARS IN The rOOR house.
The Strange Life-StoFy Of Lynn An
deFSOD.

There is in the county home wo-
man who has been its inmate since
it's establishment aboet 67 years ago
Her name is Lynn Anderson. Lynn's
mother was the wife Of Jack Ander-
son, who had been in the days of his
youth sailor and was known in the
Grassy Creek neighborhood in the
northern part of the county where
he lived, as Sailor jack Anderson.
After the death of eSailor jack
his wife, being penniless and unable
to make living for herself and two
daughters, Margaret and Lynn, took
them and went to the county home,
which had just been built on what
is now Mr.. G.. S. Lees farm three
miles southeast Of Monroe, and they
were the first inmates of the "coun-
ty poor house." as it was then call
ed. The late Mrs. Lucinda Simpson,
mother Of Esquire c. N. Simpson,
said that she well remembered see
ing Mrs. Anderson and her two lit
tie daughters passing her house Oh
their way to the "poor house"
When Lynn entered the county home
she was four years old. Her mother
and sister died many years ago.
Lynn is now over 70 years old and
she knows no other home than the
one provided by the county and has
not in all the long years since she
entered it spent night from under
it's roof and she has never, in all
these years, been more than half
mile from it's walls, except when she
made the trip more than fifty years
ago from the site out in the country
to Monroe when the county home
was moved to town. Lynn is re-
markably strong woman and has
done an immense amount Of hard
work. She has drawn and carried
enough water from the we'll out III
the yard at the county home, before
water works was put IN, to float a
gunboat, and if all the wood she has
carried in her arms from woodpile
to house could be put in one stack
it would be higher than the court
house. Lynn has been during all
her life a very strong, ileaithy per-
son and has never had but one at
tack of illness and that was a slight
one. She is still able to do work and
! is willing worker. She is dull OF
iintellect-what is known as half
| witted person-and can do the rough
est kind Of work only. But the
drudgerv the hard, knotty hands OF
poor old Lynn have done! The
county has spent many dollar or
Lynn's keep, but if she had beer
given credit for the work she has
done the county would in all proba-
bility owe her something. The new
county home. two miles west OF
town, will be completed in a few
days, and Lynn will go out to it anc
make the second journey she ha:
made since as little four-year-olc
girl she trudged by her mother
side over the long road from the
humble cabin home on Grassy creek
to the poorhouse-an the last jour
ney she will ever make until she
goes into that undiscovered country
from which there is no returning
and then-well, the good God viii
take care of Lynn.-MonroeEnquire
