DR.. Crane on Going to Sleep"
"A man should make his toilet
as carefully for going to bed as for
the business of the day.
Certain physical things are con
Gucive to sleep, such as plenty Of
sweet. outdoor air, the absence Of
noises, of lights and Of bad odors,
and above all a feeling of tired
ness.
There are also certain mental
and spiritual preparations.
To be intensely interested in
anything is fatal to sleep; so also
are the memory of a ranking
failure, plan-making, problem
solving, apprehension. shame and
remOrSe.
The soul must take off it's inter
estedness as the body must re-
move it's vestmentS.
Passions Of any kind, cravings
and all heats are against sleep.
One is very fortunate who has a
habit of prayer, for there is moth
ing can still the soul like purging
the conscience before God; and
cares, pricking annoyapces, breads
and all mental tensions can be
remedied in no way more satisfac-
torily than by letting the con-
sciOusness of God wash the soul.
A sense of friendliness. and
peace toward the Infinite is the
surest medicine for sleep.-Dr.

TALKS GOOD SENSE.
President Finley, of the Southern
Railway, on Boys Corn Clubs.

$SCA "0y OA DOV0 NO1I N4uOSs
The boys corn clubs has been
one Of the greatest factors in
checking the flow of the country
boys to the town. In a recent adj
dress Of Mr., W. w. Finley, he
said:
"When the late DR.. Seaman
Knapp instituted the organization
OF these clubs he created What l
believe will be a most effective
ipstrumentality for checking the
movement of the boys from the
farm. As / have said on a pre-
vious occasion, the most import
ant work being done by these
clubs is not the growing of corn
but the raising of farmers. The
boy who goes into one OF these
clubs and follows the methods
which are advised by the demon
stator, and who succeeds in grow
ing as much corn on a single acre
as his father grows on from two
to four or even five acres, is a
convert to scientific farming. He
has learned that farming can be
made profitable. He will want to
apply the same methods to larger
acres and to other crops. He be-
comes an optimist and, especially
if he is permitted to have a fair
interest in what he helps to pro-,
duce, | believe that the lure of
the city will seldom be strong
enough to draw him from the
farm.

NEEDS OF THE SOUTH.
Great Industrial Journal Interest
ed in Coming. Section of The

Great Industrial Journal Interest
ed in Coming. Section of The
Country.
The Manufacturers Record
says hat what the south needs is
not so much immigration as it is
fewer lOafers. This journal says
that we really need some high
class foreign immigration but if
we could get the 1oafing whites
and negroes of the south to work,
the labor situation would be great
ly relieved. The Record says:
There ought to be a campaign
of education in every village, town
and city in the south, in every
country district and wherever men
loaf, to teach people that the idle,
loafing boy or man, white or black,
hanging around street corners,
sitting ON store boxes, or loafng
around the depots, is a disgrace
TO the community and is one Of the
community s heaviest liabilities.
Several years ago a railroad
contractor in North Georgia had
as body-serVant a faithful old an
te-bellum negro known as Uncle
Jake. One day there came a sud
den emergency in which a large
number Of extra hands were need
ed. The boss sent Uncle Jake to
town to get some extra men. In
an hour or two he retrned APP
parently very much disguised
with himself and the world in gen
eral, and when the boss asked him
what was the matter, he said:
Deed, Marse William, / couldn't
get any hands. The idle loafng
niggers won't work." And then,
as though a bright idea had struck
him, he added: "Marse William,
God Almighty has lost money on
every niger He has raised sense
de war"
The old darkey had the idea
that the negro who would not
work was worthless to man and
to God; but he could have made a
broader application Of the
thought. The loafing, drinking
white man or boy is about as
worthless as the idle negro. It is
teur that our whole country is
cursed with many idle, loafing
people, white and black, living
on what others are doing, sapping
the vitality Of the community and
becoming an ever-increasing bur
den. But it is with the south that
We are especially concerned.

WEED NOT AFFECT WATTS.
Secretary McAdoo's View as to
Internal Revenue Collectors.


Secretary McAdoo Of the Treas
ury is serving notice on senators
and Representatives who have can
didates for internal revenue col
lectorships that, in view of the
fact that there will soon be an in
come tax law, unusual care will
be exercised in the appointment of
internal revenue collectors. The
department., he is telling the Con
gressmen, will insist on obtaining
the services of high-grade men.
The secretary says that it is Of the
highest Importance that men who
might be swayed by personal or
political influences shall not be
put in charge Of the collection Of
the new tax. AS a result Of the
rule that had been laid down by
the secretary, some senators and
representatives are ,havingAto re
wise their recommendations.
The Civil Service Commission
has ruled that deputy collectors
Of internal revenue will go out of
office with their chiefs in spite of
the fact that they are under the
civil service law. 1t is asserted
by the commission that deputy
collectors occupy a semi-confiden-
tial relationship to collectors and
for this reason are not permanent
officials of the government. New
deputy collectors will be appoint
ed where vacancies occur from the
civil service eligible list. The
ruling of the commission means
that Is rapidly as internal reve.
nue. collectors are appointed civi
service examinations for deputies
will have to be held. Storekeep
ers and gaugers do not come I'm
der this rule and will continue tt
serve under the new collectors

VETERANS PASSING.
Large Falling OF IN Confederate
Ranks Since Reunion of 1912.

EEZ+= - ErsxHSE>
Natural and unavoidable con-
.ditions have during the past year
depleted to an unusual degree the
ranks of the United Confederate
veterans, causing a proportlonate
decrease in revenue, according to
the. annual report of Maj. Gen.
William E. Mickle, Of New Or
leans, adjutant general and chief
Of staff, submitted at the organl-
cation S annual reunion at Chat
tanooga last week.
The report was, in part, as fol-
lows:
"I have not been inclined In my
annual report to take a very
cheerful view Of the future Of this
association. | have predicted,
year after year, a speedy decline
in the income, based on natural
and unavoidable conditions. In
1912, [ regret to say, a most de-
cided falling off in receipts from
both officers (Which | do not IN
derstand) and from camps, must
be noted. The amount realized
rom these two sources IN 1911 was
So, 627 and for 1912, $4,930.
at is a source of pleasure that
I am able to sa ythat at no perlod
IN the history of the association
has such a large percentage of
camps paid their dues as In 1913.
The amounts, Of course, r small
or, but the number paying is far In
excess Of any preceding year. "
/ cannot think that those hold
ing commissions do not realize
the burden Of responsibility rest
ing on their shoulders. For some
cause, however, their responses
for the past year have not been SO
numerou as formerly. Holding
all the honors the association can
ibestow, they should manifest
their affection and patriotism IL
a way more beneficial to. the or
ganization.

he read law and practiced his pro-
fession successfully for several
years. He then secured a position
In, the patent office through the in
huence Of Hon. Robert V. Vance,
member of congress Of this dis
trict. This position he held until
1896. at which time he was trans
ferred to the pension office, where
he remained until he was stricken
with the disease which resulted IN
his death. He usually visited this
section once a year and his old
comrades and friends we're always
delighted to see him. Mr.. Graves
was perhaps as well and favora-
bly, known as any man in this sec
ton. He was one Of the most con
scientious men 1 ever knew. No
one from western Carolina ever
went to Washington without re
ceiving a. warm and cordial greet
ing at his hands. / knew him IN
timately fof twenty-five years,
during that time | never heard
him say an unkind word about
any one. He was a good man In
every sense of the word, and In
his death the state loses a partiot-

a faithful and devoted husband.

VOW TO TAKE HIS LIFE.
Assassin is Disgruntled Soldier
Turkeys War Chest Empty and
Country Must End War.

Constan:inople, Feb. 17-Enver
Bey, the Young Turk who made such
g fasco out of his Gallipoli eXpedi-
ton, was fatally wounded by an as
sassin last night, according to a semi
official report today. Enver Bey was
attempting to leave the Sultan's harem
by secert passage when attacked.
He had taken refuge in the harem by
reason of his marriage into the Sui
tan's family.
Enver Bey, leader of the Young Turk
revolution that overturned the Kiamil
Pasha cabinet, and who was credited
with the assassination of N.azim Pas
ha, is today the most discredited man
in Turkey. The starving soldiers
whom he led on wild goose chase to
Gallipoli and then abandoned to the
mercies Of the Bulgars vowed they
would take his life. Enver fed to
Constantinople and concealed himself
in the sultan's harem, the privileges Of
which he had, because of his relation
ship.
Enver few days ago, took 10000
men on secret mission. He promised
them that they would deliver crush
ing blow to the Bulgarians and would
be covered with glory. They set out
in boats for the north shore Of the Sea
of Marmora. and the boats were so
old and unseawortiy that two of them
capsized on the way. Enver forgot
to equip mis- force with water and food,
and before the survivors of the expedi-
ton could land they were nearly star
we'd. As they were trying to land, Bull
gars surprised them and killed many
Of the Turks. The rest fled into CALI
poll, where they were forced TO walk
the streets, hungry and cold in fierce
storm, because all of the houses were
filed with wounded.
According to the reports, Enver last
night was attempting to leave the
harem when one of the disgruntled
soldiers stabbed him. 1t was said that
his wound was serious and that he
might die
Mahmud Shevket Pasha, grand
vizier, according to the best informa-
ton obtainab!e has been convinced
that Turkey must end the war, even
en- humiiating terms. The strong box
is empty of funds and the army is de-
pleted and discouraged.

for by bo.h sides today. Madero, be-
lieving he could wipe out Diaz's forces
anXiously awaited formal assurance
from President Taft that the United

had been burned yesterday to prevent
