A quaint or homely way of express
ing a truth Is often the most forceful.
A minister, possessing an irrepress-
ible sense of humor, has been lectur-
ing us as to the best way to get along
in the world. He said one need know
merely how to tickle the world" to
get from it a measure of what may be
wanted. These are his illustrations:
He tickled an old SOW with stick,
on one occasion, and she edged over
toward him to be tickled some more.
The tickling was repeated several
times, and soon she was fla on her
back enjoying the fiattery to the high
est. Tickle the ground, said he, and
it will yield in comparative abundance.
Some young men put up the wall that
tentions. These fellows are green on
the tickling process"
"Tickling the world" is another way
Of saying that success with the pub
lie depends principally on the way
people are approached-on me tact a
person shows in his daily dealings
with his fellows.
Carry a cheerful expression, smile
often, and people will smile back and
give you respectful hearing. 1t is
the hard-headed, close-cloaked person
going about with an air of 1know-
everything-you-know-nothing," who is
continually grumbling about this being
a hard old world
Get II into your head that you are
merely part of this great big piece
of world machinery; and that each
it as you are. Turn yourself aloose to
learn something from every one with
whom you come in contact. Try the
plan of tickling the world" and you
will experience better results in all
your affairs-Southern Life Magazine.
If we were called upon to name the
two worst enemies of the negro in
America we would not hesitate to an
swer, whisky and pistols" The bane
of the race is the reckless, irresponsi-
BILE young negro who fears neither
God nor man, and whose degradation
can be traced directly to the two evils.
whisky drinking and pistol ''toting. "
When an ignorant youth fills up on
mean whisky and has gun in his hip
pocket he at once becomes a menace
to the public peace. While others than
negroes are equally as guilty OF the
evils mentioned. we are concerned just
now in helping to lift our own burden.

Strange Rain Tree Of Peru.


The rain tree of Peru has the power
of collecting the dampness in the at
mosphere, and condensing it into a
continuous supply Of rian- The tree
grows very large, and is rich In
leaves. The Indians call it "tamacas-
pi." In the dry season, when with the
rivers low, the power Of condensation
seems at the highest with the tree

as to regulate the course of the water.
1t is estimated hat one of these trees
will yield nine gallons of water daily
Ten thousand trees can be grown IN
an area of one kilometer square Cthat
is, $3.50 feet each way), and this plan

of water. Allowing for evaporation

How Long Can a Bee Live

: Thomas Burgess, superintendent OF
Kensal Green cemetary, relates a
story of a bee which lived under
ground for rs years. He says:
while two of my men were Dig
ging a grave and when six ane one
half feet rown from the present sur
face they came on the original maiden
earth, which had been covered since
1886 with earth thrown out at that
date when excavating for the founda-
lions and catacombs under u church,
in throwing out a spadeful of the viz
gin mold under this mound it split
up and broke on the board and a large
bee Cknown as the humble bee) came
out of the soil. Considering that the
ground above was solid, loamy clay
and six and one h~alf-feet deep, 1t would
be impossible for a bee to- get down
this depth. It is possible, therefore,
that this insect was covered up in

Approximate increase. >. -.

The above figures show that, with
the exception of Grab Creek township
in which a decrease is shown, each
township made a considerable gain
in valuation of property. This speaks
well for each of the townships and,
shows clearly that they are easily
keeping pace with the increase noted
in nearly every county in the state.
The citizens of HendersOnvile town
ship may we'll take especial pride in
the excellent showing of the increase
of property values in this township.
A gain of almost $350,000 is not to be
lightly considered.
The method of determining the
value of property in Henderson coun-
ty this year was different from the
method heretofore in vogue. Instead
of making a rough guess as to the
value of any piece of property the as
SCISSOR, if there was any doubt in his
mind, looked the property over and
gave it a valuation from his WI
personal knowledge of it's worth if
placed on the market fer sale. In
this way, a very accurate estimate was
given each piece of property and the
figures given above are not inflated
values but the real inherent worth of
the property in question.
The additional revenue to the
ty treasury from this increase of val
uation will amount to about $4,000.
This gives a tidy sum to be expended
for the benefit of the county and is
of sufficient proportions to dc some
substantial good.
While some citizenss object to the
present rate of taxation and claim it
is exhorbitant the majority seem to
be very we'll satisfied with conditions
as they are. This extra amount from
the last assessment might be used to
lower the present rate or to assist in
building peter reads in some sections
of the county where some improve
ment seems to be most exigent.
The Daily Herald could handle some
of this money to excellent advantage
in keeping the "Pot, Boiling" or N
every day p~arlance, to add to the
Good Roads Fund.

Were Camels Smoke

A. curious fact i described in the
Strand Magazine regarding the tam
ing of wild camels by the natives Of
Morocco. A three-cornered piece of
wood, through which a hole is drilled,
Is placed in the mouth of the camel
and a lighted cigar, very large and
loosely rolled, Is then inserted in the
hcIe. AS soon as the animal starts
to draw it becomes very tame and
continues to inhale the smoke and to
emit it through its nose. AS soon as
the first cigar is finished a new one
must be put in its place. otherwise
the camel becomes furious and very
stubborn, fixes it's legs in the ground,
and cannot he made to move until
the cigar smokes again.

narrow and shrink your mind.
1t will drive away your friends; it

exciting only pity and contempt, face
