DOES MOUNTAINs INJUSTICE.
Macon County Publication Reflects a.
North Carolina History.

Some one has sent US a copy Of tha
Mountain school Herald, published by
the CoWee Mountain school at Leah
erman. Macon county. but bearing an
imprint that shows that it is printed in
Berrien Springs, Mich, says the News
and O~bcerver. Being printed in an
other State and probably edited by an
individual who has never visited North
Carolina and who is ignorant of its
history, the magazine is like most
others of its class in falling to reflect
conditions in this State faithfully. In
its original articles as well as the se-
lections which it publishes and evil
IDENTIFY approves the Mountain School
Herald is as unjust to this State al
might be expected of it in view of the
circumstances under which it is pub
lished and in fact is much more So
than would ordinarily be supposed
possible. -
Here is a specimen paragraph from
an article by George Fitch in the Jack
son Patriot, of jackson, Mich, and
quoted without comment in the Leath-
erman-Berrien periodical:
North Carolina was settled $50 years
ago n has remained calm and placid
ever since, % even getting into the
Civil War to any extent. It took q

eraly patriots, turning out Andrew
Jackson, Andrew Johnson and James
K. Polk. It's only feat in the last 100
years, however, has been the produc-
ton of Uncle Joe Cannon. 1t is q
peaceful hook-wormy State whose
only diversion is to send "a Republicans
to Congress every now and then and
watch Cornelius Vanderbilt try to
farm his little patch of ground at Bit
more with a gold-mounted pillow and
imported h~orsef1ies.'
The curious thing to us is that the
Northern people who interest them
selves in the people whom they choose
to designate the mountain whites"
should feel so plainly disposed to re-
fleet on the people of the State gener-
ally. It would be a breach of good
manners if they were to say the dis
agreeable things about the State that
tie ire (that there are some of these
all candid Carolinians will admitl.
But that these self-constituted men
tors of the State should write and
speak out of malice and ignorance IS
still mor difficult to understand.
Their ignorant and insolent comment
reveals the existence of narrow and
s~hriVelled souls such as we of the
are not accustomed to encoun-
ter and the existence of which we
should find it hard to credit did we not
come eros the unmistakable evil
dence as found in such articles as
those we have quoted from the jack
(Mich.) Patriot by way of the
Mountain School Herald. ~s

When Il murder is committed
there is invariably a motive.
Sometimes it is obvious; I'M
times its presence is masked be-
hind a compzesity of possibizi-
ties until it is we'll nigh impos-
sible to disentangze the slender
skein of fact from the warp and
woof ofprobabizity. But always
the motive is there. LOOK for
the woman" said Pere Tabaret,
the French detective, and in her
you will find the solution ofyour
mystery---D you find her." And
in the main he was right. Yet it
is not always the Obvious woman
nor the Obvious motive that is
responsible for a crime. Some
times the underlying cause rests
on deeper reasons than are op-
parent even to the closest OBJ
server. Then only an accident
can give q Glen to the real GRIM
inal. And so it is with 1.-The

Take Plenty of Time to Eat.

There is a saying that rapid eating is
slow suicide" If you have formed the
habit of eating too rapidly you are most
likely suffering from indigestion or con.
stipation, which will result eventually in
serious illness unless corrected
Digestion begins in the mouth. Food
should be thoroughly masticated and in.
salivated. Then when you have a full.
ness of the stomach or feel dull and
stupid after eating, take one of Cham.
berlain's Tablets. Many severe cases Of
stomach trouble and constipation have
been cured by the use of these tablets
They are easy to take and most agree.

Trinidad and Its Asphalt,

On the beautiful island of Trinidad,
chief source of the worlds supply of
pitch. the article has been put to ev-
cry possible use by the natives. For
merly the streets of the Port of Spain
were lighted by torches of pitch, but
the people objected to the odor. Moth
ing, however, was done to develop the
pitch and oil industry until recent
years. This Indifference to it's value
has been credited to the fact that tn
Trinidadians had so many other re
sources, such as their cocoa, coffee
and sugar, from which to gain an
abundant living that they were con
tent to leave Pitch lake alone. Amer
leans now control its output.

After they had shaken hands Bruce
gazed at the great crime expert curl
ously. He saw a man Of possibly forty
years. who looked younger. He was
shaved with scrupulous care, his hair
was brushed until each hair seemed to
fit into it's exact spot, his clothes fitted
him perfectly and he looked as if he
had been groomed for hours. His eyes
were either brown or black, but they
glowed or smoldered or sparkled so
constantly that no one could tell. His
nose was we'll formed. but not promi-
nent. and the same vas true Of the

ASCHE KAYTON.

Entering he found himself confront
ed by an oldish boy on the opposite
side Of the railing. Inside the railing
were the rugs, settles and chairs Of a
comfortable anteroom. 1t might have
been the publishing office of a religious
weekly.
The boy respectfully asked his name
and whom he wished to see. Argyle
handed him his card.
"Mr. Kayton.' be said. The boy
opened a gate in the railing and invit-
ed him to sit down. AS Argyle sank
on to a chair the boy disappeared. In

Adoors opening off the anteroom swung
back and a man entered holding the
card.
The room then looked more than ever
like the office Of a church newspaper.
The newcomer was bareheaded, also
bald headed, and wore a dark Office
coat over a black vest and trousers.
His face was round. his eyes round and
pleasant, his cheeks slightly pink and
his expression one of the utmost benev-
olence. But his mouth was thin Tipped
and opened very little when he spoke.
"Mr. Argyle?" he said, with a nod
and a smile.
Yes" replied Bruce, rising, some
what nonplused by this unexpected
parsonage. Mr. He paused.
