COURTESY.
And all bare witness, and wondered at
the gracious words which proceeded out OF
His mouth. And they said, Is not this
.Ioscpb.s SOM st. Luke fv. %.

There is need Of more courtesy in the
world. We are thinking TOO much Of the
material things of life in this day and gen
Grafton and neglecting the matters OF the
regard which man should have for man IN
the rush of busy life. We should endeavor
to reconstruct our lives SO as to make them
better fit that spirit of graciousness which
marked the life of the Saviour. He is the
model not alone for our religious life, but
for our every day life, if indeed there are
those who can disassociate these con1po-
nent yet correlated parts Of our existence.
That graciousness which was exhibited by
Jesus may be put in present day words as
courtesy. Do We not fail at times, many
times, to show that courtesy in dealing with
those with whom we are thrown in contact
which we should exhibit? Undoubtedly so.
There are rebuffs administered to people
which we would recall, when in saner mo-
ments we think over what We have said or
done. And the pity Of it is that our dis
courtesy is oft-times to those whom we con-
slider to be beneath us in power, or infu-
ence, or dignity, or position, or wealth. 1t
is those in the position of the under dog
who get the worst of it from those who are
time-servers.
This is a condition from which we should
emerge. Our constant thought should be
TO treat all mankind with consideration,
with graciousness, with courtesy. If we
fail in this we fail in a quality which is
Have a thought for the other
in every transaction and let that thought
be that we should treat others as we would
be treated. Let US take to heart the lesson
that "The rank is but the guineas stamp,
the mans the man for aye that" and that
will teach us the lesson Of courtesy. And
that lesson will make us the happier as we
practice what it has taught us.

1t is always we'll enough to keep in view the
main point and to get your bearings and keep
them.
In our editorial Of Saturday, January 23rd,
discussing the bill Of Hon. M. H. Allen calling
for a repeal Of certain acts Of the Legislature
of past years, relating to the consolidation OF
the Atlantic Coast Lines various branch lines
into one giant corporation, and having in mind
also the bill Of Hon. Henry A. Gillian, we gave a
short statement Of those bills. They are in the
public laws of this State. It will not be denied by
Mr.. ]. r. Kenly or any one in the employment of
the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company that
the privilege to combine and unite the various
divisions of that company's holding was one Of
vital Importance to the road and of great dan
ger to the State. The merger and consolidation
of common carriers is not looked upon with
much favor. 1t gives an enormous and danger
Gus power. AT the particular time When these
acts were passed there was an exceedinly tense
situation in North Carolina with regard to the
mergers and consultations Of corporations, and
they were not looked upon with much favor.
At the session of 1899 the Coast Line wanted
the merger bills passed. They were willing to
make concessions to get them passed. The
various bills all show that. 1t is a little re-
markable that it took so many bills to accom-
plish this purpose. Can it be they went in one
at the time SO as to raise as little opposition as
possible. At any rate there were several Coast
Line bills at that session. But that is another
story. Mr.. j. r. kenly in his letter in Fridays
paper says that if you or any one else will
establish as a fact that such a promise was made
even by one having apparent authority to repre-
sent this company and that the Legislature
acted in the matter on the faith Of that promise.
this company will live up to it and carry it out
to the fullest extent"
Generally a good way to find out whether O.
person was a party to an agreement is TO ex-
anime his conduct both before and after rho
agreement was made. Prior to the passage Of
this act or these acts the removal Of suits hv-
the Coast Line was the rule rather than the ex-
ception. We are not in possession Of the figures.
but we ask Mr.. kenly to supply them and let
us inform the public how long it was after the
passage Of that act before the Atlantic Coast
| Line moved a cause to the United States Court.
We repeat that we do not know; but we venture
! the statement that some ten years or more had

wish it luck, but my experience
teaches me that it will not fulfil the
expectations of the promoters IN any
way.
NO officer OF the American Kennel
Club could be engaged to conduct any
dog show whatever. It would be the
same as asking a general or colonel to
do guard duty in camp. The only way
to gain an official rating for a dog
show. no matter who the promoters
may be or how much money they have
TO spend, is to yield obedience to the
American Kennel Club rules. They are
framed to protect the dog breeders Of
the country not for day or for any

So many young racing swimmers fail
to realize the Importance Of correct
and regular breathing in competition
that there is urgent need Of saying a
few words on the subject
The idea appears TO prevail that in
using the crawl stroke one may breathe
how and when he pleases. Such is far
from the case. Frequent oXygenatlon
of the blood through the lungs is in
dispensable to success in swimming,
and the method so often advocated Of
breathing every second. third or fourth
stroke is fundamentally wrong.
Not only does the long wait between
inspirations soon exhaust, but the want
Of air becomes so imperative that the
swimmer invariably raises his head
with a jerk to relieve his distress and
thus breaks the balance of the body,
suffering a sudden check.
Inc proper way 10 breathe IS 10 IN

Of the top-arm by merely twisting mot

NO. the Panama fair dog show will
not be under the American Kennel
Club rules" said a. p. Nredenburgh,
secretary of the American Kennel Club,
when asked the question yesterday.
Exposition dog shows seldom are, for
the managers of such affairs regard
themselves as superior TO all other
boards of authority and always desire
10 frame their own laws. They think
themselves too big to be governed by
the rules that apply TO ordinary dog
shows, and so march with pomp and
bands playing in at the large end Of
the horn, TO emerge sadder and wiser
men from the small end, shorn Of their
glory.
"Do ! mind being quoted as saying
so?" Here Secretary Nredenburgh
squared his chin with bulldog-like
snap Of the jaws. Not at all; | am
speaking the truth from experience
and you may print what you like.
"All the exposition dog shows in
my recollection Chicago, in 1898; st.
Louis and all that | can recall, except
the Pan-American at Buffalo have
proved to be utter failures. The Buff
falo show was success because the
late T.. VI. Oldham organized the Of
ficials Of the different departments into

under an American Kennel Club
license. This is still continued as the
