A Financial Formally That Puzzled
Both Clay and Webster. =
The men in official Washington seem
to have less of halo about them than
in the. good old days. when the tower
ing form of Webster or Henry Clay
would attract more attention on Penn
sylvania avenue than a brass band or
q tango dancer in 1914. In bank the
other day l saw note Endorsed joint
~ by Henry Clay and Daniel Webster.
The story is told that Clay asked Web
ster to indorse note with him for
$500.
'All right" said the studious and
thoughtful Webster. I'll do so. Clay.
If you'll make it $1,000 and give me
half" Clay agreed to the compact.
and the two set out for Banker Riggs,
signed the note with due solemnity and
secured the proceeds. AS they swung
across the threshold out again on the
avenue and divided the money Web
ster in his ponderous voice remarked
to Clay, Henry, why do you suppose
Mr.. Riggs wanted our names ON that
noteF'
at battles me, Daniel" responded
Clay. Perhaps he desired some me-
mento to hand down to pOsterity, for
i cannot at this moment conceive how
1T is going to be paid for the present

PROF. GALE IN CHARGE.
(Bryson City Times.l

The, institute for the teachers OF
Swain county opened Monday morn
ing with Prof. w. H. Gale of Hender-
sonville, and Miss Hattie Aiken of
Brevard, in charge. The first session
was held in the court house, but owing
to the fact that arrangements had been
made by the State Department of Edu-
cation for the teachers to be divided
into two groups, primary and inter-
mediate, It was thought best to hold
sessions in the school building.
Despite the weather. there was a
good enrolment for the opening SEES
sion there being sixty-four present
at the morning session.

Scandal.

How, is it that the evil which men
say spreads so widely and lasts SO
long, while our good. kind words, don't
seem somehow to take root and bear
blossom Is It that In the stony
hearts OF mankind these pretty flowers
can't find place TO grow9 Certain It
is that scandal Is good brisk talk,
whereas praise Of ones neighbor is by
no means lively hearing. An acqaaint-
ance grilled. scored, deyiled and serv-
ed with mustard and cayenne pepper
excites the appetite. whereas slice Of
cold friend with currant jelly is but q
sickly, unrelishing meat.-Thackeray

that time has called here for bunker

Capt. Harley was on the vessel when

of life was not known definitely from

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2. 1875.


Today throughout the state OF Flor
ida there is sorrow for the untimely
death of Frank l.. Mayes.
He who has so well served his coun-
try, his state and the home of his
adoption has drawn about him tho
drapery of his couch and lain down
to pleasant dreams" And surely, in
that last and sacred silence, the Mes
ssnger Who summoned him. paused
first to write him down in the Book
Of IAfe as one who served his fell
iowxnen.v
It was given to those who worked
with him and for him, to know him
best. and most to honor him.
The indomitable nature, sure and
stable. had united with its strength a
wonderful kindness that reached out
not only to his own but TO those others
of his feiiowmen who had need of
him.
The keynote OF his character was
loyalty. He was loyal to his friends,
his state and his country. His prin-
ciples were rooted in loyalty to an
ideal. Eor he was an idealist.
Practical. able. aggressive, he had
withal the vision Of higher social
order. builded ON a foundation OF fra
ternity and integrity-of the people,
by the people and for the people.
For he was peoples man in its
highest and its noblest sense Never
their tool. Always their champion
A lover Of the masters of verse, and
conversant with all good literature,
ne loved also the simple, homely poets,
and one that he loved and often quoted,
Sam walter Toss, expressed in some
wise his own nobility and kindness.
Lot me sit in my house by the side
OF the road.
While the race of men go by;
They are rich, they are poor. they
are bad. they are good,
Wise, foolish--and so am /.
would not sit In the scorners seat.
Nor hurl the cynics ban,
Let me sit in my house by the. side
OF the road,
And be a friend to man"
