A SUMNER JOY

The summers here in joyful mood with birds and
flowers too.
The trees are out in blossom now the fields are rich
to view;
One joy there is above them all that drives away
my dread,
I do not have to fix the fire before go to bed
I like to go in swimming now-the waters nice
and warm
like to take an outing far away from citys harm;
I may come home exhausted but to cheer I'm al
most led,
I do not have to fix the fire before go to bed
I like to go for picnics in the ctys incest parks,
like to stay and romp and play until it's nearly
dark:
One joy there is that swells my heart, as above
have said,
I do not have to fix the fire before 60 to bed
For seven months I stocked the blaze, throughout
the winter drear
And soon, the joys of summer past I'll stoke again.
I fear,
Soon shall hear my wife call as up the stairs
tread:
BE sure and fix the furnace dear, before you come
to bed"
And now another thought has come to fill me full
of fear,
q wish it would stay mmer-tme throughout the
lve-long year;)
But this new thought is awful fills my heart with
horrid dread
I wonder will I have to fix the furnace when I'm
dead.

Everyday Living
CAT AND DOG
By JOSEPH FORT NEWTON
downright 1887. by United Feoture Syndicate. Inc

"It seems to me-" writes reader, thai
Won are doing lot of good just talking
over with us problems of everyday living,
But one thing | wish you would explain, If
you can.
in a home where | visit occasionally, all
the members of the family are very religious,
parents and children alike. They are very
careful to keep what seems to them to be
the law.
"They say grace before meals and have
family worship. Yet no sooner than prayer
is over. they begin to bite each others heads
off, using some of the most cutting words
doing it.
"Thev would think it sin to dance, or
to go to a show; but they seem unable to
keep the peace in the family, even for an
hour. The influence of such a home is bad,
yet they never miss church,.
Some time ago" writes another reader,
I'VE had a couple for dinner, and the way
the wife gave her husband away in front
of other people beat anything | have ever
seen or heard of.
"Of course, he laughed it off as best he
could to avoid any unplcasantncss; but |
caught them looking at each other when no
one was noticing, and have never seen such
hatred!
''As they left they thanked us for an en-
joyable evcning-not enjoyable for us, in
fact-but if they carry on like that i'll pub
lie. what must it be like when they are by
themselves?
Every family, | know, has It's ups and
downs, its spits and spats, but those two
made me turn hot and cold all over They
have two children, and one wonders what
it means to them"
Yes, such cat and dog living is hidious,
and the memory of such a home will be
horrible in after years. How strange that
people torment and torture each other, and
enjoy doing it.
To judge from my letters, there is a lot
of such dog-eat-dog living, which makes life
mean and religion mockcry. If the air of
the home is bad, or bitter nothing else can
be very good.

State Gasoline Taxes

According to the data recently
released by the U. S. Bureau of
Public Roads North Carolinians
in 1886 paid a total state gaso-
line tax of $20,961, 900, or an
amount approximately equal to
the entire state expenditure on
public education. Only eight
states paid larger total amounts
OF taxes on gasoline. The total
consumption of gasoline taxed for
highway use was slightly more
than 335 million gallons. Only
fourteen states consumed more
gasoline than North Carolina.
Since we ranked twelfth in popu-
lation it is evident that the per
capita consumption of gasoline is
almost up to the national aver
age.
The high rank of North Caro-
lima in the total gasoline tax paid
is due largely to the relatively
high state gasoline tax rate of
six cents per gallon. Only four
states impose higher taxes on
gasoline use for highway pur-
poses. The state rate is seven

The story of the New York Of

A GAMBLERS
CROP


CROP duce, is gamblers crop.
The farmer who goes in
heavily for early Irish potatoes stands to
lose four wears out of five, or, at the best,
break even in most years.
But so keen is the sportive instinct in hui
man nature that thousands of farmers up
and down the South Atlantic seaboard and
elsewhere in America gamble on early po-
tatocS year after year
All business in potato growing sections IS
dcmoralized in the off years. The failure OF
this seasons crop to bring satisfactory re-
turns probably means the loss of half mil
lion dollars business to Elizabeth City mer-
chants and autOmOtive dealers.
But these farmers will not go broke.
Other farm crops are doing nicely; corn, SOY
beans, cotton, hogs, cattle, poultry and eggs
are in demand at high prices. And a bumper
crop of corn or beans can be made on the
potato land after the crop is harvested with
Out he application of additional fertilizer,
And so the best thing we can do about
the potato business is to act like good sports
and forget it, This year, 1887, is going to be
good year for our farmers spite of their
losses on garden peas and early potatoes
