That PoIeCat Was A Skunk

The story has just leaked out, or
rather a scent of it, that was easily
traced, dealing with the two Rogers
Young men who recently eSSayed a
trip to the Nellette ranch to spend
the evening with guests there.
Mounted on horses, they were pre-
pared to give chase when they saw
a rabbit along the side of the road
They chased it to a hollow log and
the braver of the boys climbed
down and reached in to pull the
rabbit out Right then and there a
vivid flash of lightning revealed the
fact that the rabbit" had black and
white stripes on its vest. There
was also other conclusive evidence
confirming the fact. Moral-When
you chase a rabbit, be sure it's a
bunny.-Rogers Post.

SOME MARKS OF
THE CHOSEN PEOPLE
The Elect, The Real Upper
Class, Understands The
Vulgarity Of Luxury.
(BY DR.. FRANK CRANE.

These are some of the marks OF
the Elect, the Chosen People, the
true Aristocracy, the real Upper
Class.
They are clean. They keep their
bodies clean of dirt, their minds
clean of prejudice, and their spirits
clean of superstition.
They have strong passions, strict
ly disciplined.
Their mind is clearest and their
courage highest in the presence OF
danger.
While they may not always think
correctly, they think clearly.
They do right because it is a
pleasure, and have passed the ap-
premiership Of struggle.
Their opinion or belief cannot be
coerced by authority or seduced by
desire. Their intellect is as ethical
as their conduct.
Love is the greatest thing in the
world; but to them there is a greater
thing-loyalty.
They are efficient. They made
good; they do not explain why they
could not.
To their enjoyed they are just
and reasonable; to their employer
they are intelligently obedient.
They regulate themselves strictly;
they have no wish at all to regulate
others.
They love people, learn something
from everyone they meet, and de-
spise no human being.
They are characterized by sim
plicity in dress, in speech, in house,
and at table. They understand the
vulgarity Of luxury.
They seek justice as the true
charity, paying fair wages rather
than giving aims, changing evil eco.
nomic conditions rather than doline
bread.
They bear no erudges and never
seek revenge.
Their superiority is never exclu'
sive; t h e greater, stronger, and
better they become, t h e more
warmly human they grow.
These are the Elect.

About M. Bryan

This talk about Bryan being a
"quitter" sounds rather shallow to
us. The twenty years that he has
spent in public life and the battles
he has fought for progressive re-
forms, many of which at first
seemed visionary, but most Of
which have been adopted by the
country in one form or another, is
the very best evidence to us that
he is far from being a "quitter,

BOYS CORN CLUBS SHOULD
BUILD UP INNER II

Chapel Hill, July 1.-THE real pur-
pose of a boys corn club, of any ruraI
club, is not to raise a more thorough
bred pig, a larger ear of corn or in
crease material wealth, but to develop
the spirit of the child and to build up
the inner life"
These words formed the keynote OF
a speech by T. e. Browne, director of
rural clubs, before the Rural Life Con-
ference in session ere this week. Con
tinuing, Mr.. Browne said that the part
of the rural school teacher in the de-
velopment of this great idea consisted
in being able to train the boys and
girls to see the great possibilities of
American country life. The organiz-
ing of rural clubs, said he, are worth
while not only because they instill a
love of home, stimulate the magma
ton and develop initiative. but because
they furnish the extraordinary oppor-
tunity of being able to reach "a whole
community in any work for the i'm
provement of conditions.

mitted to probate. s snort and
leaves everything to his w1re. In -
ne makes a final plea to the peopIe OF
North Carolina that they press the
education of their children for beyond
anything heretofore attempted. His
estate will foot up less than ten thou
sand dollars, consisting of two insur-
ances policies of two thousand dollars
each, which with accumulations will
make near five thousand dollars. Both
policies are old, having been taken out
in 1873 and 1880. His other personal
estate consists of solvent credits and
his library, both hardly reaching five
thousand dollars. His wife is named
as sole executor and without bond.
The will was dated October 3rd, 1912.
The will is as follows:
L. Thomas Jordan Jarvis, of the
state of North Carolina, do make, de-
clare and public, this, my last Will
and Testament, in matter, name and
form as follows, hereby revoking all
others heretofore made by me, that is
to say
Item l.. Trusting in the merits and
blood of a crucified and risen Saviour

Father, believing all will be well.
Item 2. l have lived a plain and

ing of any people in state and nation
and would therefore urge the people
to press the education of their children
far beyond anything heretofore at
tempted.
Item 4. While 1 love my relatives
with a sincere love, my lear wife with
whom I have lived in perfect happi-
ness since our marriage, and who mas
been my constant companion, is the
chief object of my affection, and it is

queath to my beloved wife, Mary

payment of my just and lawful debts.
Item 5. And finally, I wish to say
to relatives and friends, they can not
remember me in any way half so
pleasing to me as to be good to my
dear wife.
Item 6. I hereby nominate and ap-
point. my dear wife, Mary W. JARVIS,
my sole executor to carry out this my
last Will and Testament, and I re-
quest that she shall be allowed to
qualify as my executor and admins
ter my estate without giving bond.

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
weil-hncwn local druggist says every
BODY is using old-tine recipe OF
Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lustre.
or when it fades. turns gray, dull and
lifeIess, is caused by a lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made up
a mixture Of Sage Tea and Sulphur to
keep her locks dark and beautiful, and
thousands OF women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so attrac-
tive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for
50-cent bottle Of 'sWyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" which darkens
the hair so naturally, so evenly, that
nobody can possibly tell it has been
applied. Besides, it takes off dandrEff
stops scalp itching and falling hair.
You just dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time BY morning the gray hair dis
appears: but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is
that, besides beautifully darkening
the hair after a few applications. it
also brings back the gloss and lustre
and gives it an appearance Of album
dance. (Adv)
