with an address Of welcome by Editor
w. c. Hammer, president Of the North
Carolina association, and responded to
most pleasantly by E. H. DeCamp, Joe
Sparks and August Kohn. The prin-
cipal business Of the afternoon, so far
as the joint session was concerned,
was the unanimous adoption Of
strong set of resolutions, proposed by
Wade Harris, editor of the Charlotte
Observer, endorsing the entire course
Of President Wilson in his conduct Of
the difficult problems and situations
arising out Of the European war, and
expressing confidence in the ability Of
the president to properly meet any
evcntuality.
On Friday a party Of more than a
hundred ladies and gentlemen made
the trip to Mount Mitchell, the high
est peak east Of the Rocky Mountains
and rising over 5000 feet above sea
level. The trip Is made over a rail-
road that was constructed for logging
purposes, and which runs along the
high mountain range for a distance
of about twenty-seven miles, begin
ming at Black Mountain and passing
through the Montreal grounds. The
railroad Is reached by climb of
mile and quarter from the front door
of the hotel and in that distance the
climber ascends very nearly 1000
feet. Then there Is a run Of about
seventeen miles, during which the
cars mount by means of .'switchbacks"
and steep grades to up near the top
Of the range, at points looking down
on the Western North Carolina rail-
road track more than 1000 feet be-
low. At Mt. Mitchell station the pas
sengers get off the train, eat lunch
and then make another climb Of lit
tie more than 900 feet, over a distance
of mile and an eighth. The climb
Is no joke to those who are accustom-
ed to 1t, and to those who are unac-
customed to 1t, 1t is heartbreaking;
but everybody in the party, all except
those who failed to get to the railroad
from the hotel, reached the top. At
the top Of the mountain Is the grave
of DR.. Mitchell, who established for
this peak its distinction for altitude,
and who lost his life by falling into a
pool somewhat lower down. There Is
weather station on top Of the noun
tain, and also flag pole on which
Old Glory floats in the strong breeze
that Is always blowing.
The temperature on the summit Of
the mountain last Friday was quite
their coats in the ascent, were glad to
have them on again. Some really
seemed to suffer from the cold. and
were glad to pay 10 cents a cup for
the hot coffee that was served by the
man in charge Of the weather station.
Several hats were blown off, but all
were recovered.
The descent Of the mountain though
not nearly so trying as the ascent, was
quite trying.
Everybody slept we'll Friday night,
and on Saturday morning most Of the
party left for their homes, few re-
naming over for a Fourth Of July
barbecue at Black Mountain.

BIather and Bother.-A certain lady
in Paris gives periodical dinners at
which assemble most Of the best known
wits and litterateurs Of the day. The
rule Of the mansion is that while one
person discourses no interruption
whatever can be permitted. 1t is said
that M. Renan once attended one of
these dinners, and being In excellent
vein, talked without break during
the whole repast. Toward the end OF
the dinner a guest was heard to begin
a sentence, but he was instantly
silenced by the hostess. After they had
left the table, however, she at once in
formed the extinguished individual,
that, as M. Renan had now finished
his conversation, she would gladly
hear what he had to say. The guest
modestly declined; the hostess in
sisted.

consequence" she said.
ALAS, madam" he answered, 1T
was, indeed; but now it is too late.

Dyspepsia is the mother Of many a
disagreeable disposition.
1t doesn't pay to own things you

An excellent way to fiatter a woman
Is to keep still and listen.
The worse a reputation the harder
it is to lose.
A grouchy man thinks he laughs
best who laughs last.
A wonder lasts nine days-but a
woman's curiosity goes on forever.
When a man has his leg pulled he
ought to be glad he isn't centipede.
And often a girl who married for a
home doesn't stay there half the time.
There's more power in a woman's
tears than there Is in a mans argu-
ment.
Every time two women go to a
movie together they call it a theatre
party.
Most old bachelors are hard to
please; they don't think girl baby
is fit to kiss until she is sweet sixteen.
For early chrysanthemums an ideal
compost is three parts good garden
loam to one part we'll rotted manure,
with a sprinkling Of bone meal.

There Is this difference between a
wise man and fool, the wise man ex-
poets future things, but does not de-
pend upon them, and in the meantime
enjoys the present, remembering the
past with delight; but the life Of the
fool is wholly carried on in the fu-
ture.-Epicurus.
Fans are put to all sorts Of curious
uses in Japan. At wrestling and fenc-
ing matches the umpire always uses
large fan, and the various motions
of this fan constitute language which
the contestants understand perfectly,
and to which they pay prompt atten-
ton, says the New York Evening
Journal. The servant girl has a fiat
fan made Of rough paper to blow the
charcoal fires with or uses as a dust
pan; the farmer has a stout fan to
winnow his grain. Another variety is
made Of waterproof paper which can
be dipped in water, and creates a
great GOODNESS by evaporation.
The telephone line from New York
to San Francisco is overhead through
out its entire length except for a few
short stretches of cable in cities and
under rivers. Notwithstanding the
Improvements which have been made
in underground cables, 1t Is still nee
essary in such long lines as this to
exclude as far as practicable all
lengths Of cable, however short. Even
with the very best cable and appara-
tus known to the art the distance
through which speech may be clearly
and distinctly transmitted is greatly
restricted when the wires are placed
underground.

His Own Fault.-There had been an
accident on the worst railroad in the
United States. You know the name
Of the road as well as L do, so what's
the use Of risking a libel suit by

sitting up in his hospital cot swathed
in bandages. Il suppose you're going
to sue the company for damages, /"
said the friend at his bedside.
NO." said the damaged one, Il

To keep a skirt from sagging when
two bias pieces come together, sew
the seam by the machine, then stretch
1t with your fingers as much as the
material will permit, allowing the
thread to break. Then sew the seam
again, keeping 1t well stretched all the
time. This method may be applied to
any fabric, but it is especially good
for wash materials. and a cotton or a
linen skirt carefully sewed in this
way will not sag at the sides or back
Before finishing the lower edge Of a
skirt-and let this be the last thing
you do to it-try 1t on and mark all
