Along the road to Bethlehem
Three weary wise men slowly Jared,
And wondering shepherds gazed at them
And bowed the heads which they had
barred
Three wise men who had journeyed far =
Rode slowly DER the hills that night.
Still following their guiding star
Whose constant beams were broad and
bright.
At Christmas time they heard voice
That sweetly sounded far on high;
" Rejoice. ye sons OF men. rejoice
The words rsng clearly from the sky.
The trembling wise men paused to hear
The song that angels sang to them,
And ceased to doubt and turned from
fear.
That Christina, night in Bethlehem.

SECTION 1888.

Section 1888 of the Revisal of
1905 roads as follows;
If any persons shall be found
drunk or intoxicated on the public
highway, or at any public place, or
meeting, in the counties of Dare,
Graham, Buncombe, Henderson,
Jackson, Ashe, Stanley, Madison,
Mecklenburg, or Rutherford, as in
Poplar Branch and Fruitiville town.
ships, Currituck County, or at Pungo
in Beaufort County, he shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor and be
fined not exceeding fifty dollars, or.
imprisoned not exceeding thirty
days"
From this we see that it is not
necessary for a drunken man to
create a disturbance in this County
before he can arrested, as is gener-
ally supposed, but the fact of being
drunk at any public place is suffi-
Gent reason for indictment. Far.
thermore, the maximum penalty is
a heavy one.
The law is a most excellent one
and only requires enforcement tt
acquire the desired results.

WORDS OF COUNCIL.

When you see a man is busy,
doing sums or writing notes, don't
90 up and drive him dizzy with
your Whickered anecdotes; for the
man who's bored and worried, when
by business he is hurried, may rear
up, incensed and Hurried, and de-
prive you of your goats. When
you see a man is brooding over
troubles of his own, when you hear
his grief protruding from his system
in groan, don't put up a line of
wailings touching your own ills and
ailings; don't indulge in roars and
railings-let the weary man alone
We n you see a man is cheerful,
as he tries his way to make, don't
90 up with forecasts fearful that will
make his bosom ache: do not say
his course is folly in this world OF
melancholy; if he finds the old
world jolly. let him grin, for heavens
sake. If you see man is married
do not boast that you are not; fol-
the burden he has carried makes
his spirit sore and hot; bearing much
he'll never bear less; if you stir up
envy, careless, he may claw you till
you're hairless, with a sudden fury
fraught.

This, accor ding to the News and

as they exist today.
The question of the Australian
ballot is before the committee on
elections, of the North Carolina legis
aature Wednesday evening. 1t is
ZIP to the legislature to do something
and do it now to put North Caro-
dina in the list of the progressive
states who have adopted this ex-
~Eellent system of voting. The ad-
