MONEY IN RAILROADING.
A New York boulevard ear was
going north one day recently when,
with a sudden jar, the current was
thrown off, and the passengers were
bumped rudely together. The car
came to a standstill. The motor
man, says the New York Times,
threw open the front deor and ran
back to the conductor on the rear
platform.
They exchanged a few words; then
both ran through the car to the
front platform. Every passenger sat
mute with surprise. Suddenly the
car started and then backed. Then
it started again and once more back
ed. Then it stopped. Off jumped
motorman and conductor, and as
the astonished passengers looked out
of the windows they saw' the two
men down on their hands and knees,
trying to crawl under the ear. Pres
ently, with an exclamation of de
light, the motorman, covered with
mud ami grime, slowly emerged.
Entering the car and holding up for
inspection a ten dollar bill, he said:
“Excuse me, passengers, for jar
ring you and keeping you waiting,
but I came near running over this
ten dollar bill, and I hated to do it
ami leave it for the motorman on
the car behind me.”
A Naval Academy Joke.
At an amateur dramatic perform
ance in the Naval academy on April
1 one of the instructors played a
new April fool joke. The audience
had assembled, and everything was
in readiness for the curtain to be
rung up when one of the instructors
made his appearance, carrying in his
hand a telegram. “I wish to make
an announcement, a very sad uu
nouneement," he said in funereal
tones. “Under the circumstances it
scarcely seems fitting that the en
tertainment should proceed. Word
has just been received that one of
the navy's vessels has gone down
with all on board!” A hush of hor
ror followed this gravely delivered
speech, for most of those in the au
dience were connected by close fam
ily ties with the navy. “What was
the name of the vessel?” came a
voice from the rear of the hall.
“The submarine boat Holland,” re
plied the instructor as he dodged
and made a hasty exit.
THE BARNEBVILLE NEWS-GAZETTE THURSDAY MAY 14, 1903
Washington Letter.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Representatives Loud has come
to Washington, evidently to pro
tect his friend Mr. Machen, Super
intendent of the Division of Free
Delivery, from the results of the
current Postoffice Investigation.
Mr. Loud’s method of accomplish
ing this method is unique. He is
not attempting to minimize the
extravagance of Mr. Machen’b ad*
ministration but is endeavoring
to create the impression that this
has risen purely out of the impor
tunities of Congressmen and de
fects in the system which a reor
ganization of methods will rectify,
implying that Mr. Machen till be
allright in his present position if
the system is corrected. Senator
Lodge has urged updn the Post
master General the Expediency of
suspending Mr. Machen because
he fears the effect of the scandals
upon the political future of the
party, but Mr. Payne, who de
scribes himself as “no spring
chicken,” is determined to make
no more enemies than he is oblig
ed to and is as loath to suspend
or discharge Mr. Machen as he
was to call for Judge Tyner’s, or
Mr. Christiancy’s resignation.
Pike all men of his stamp, how
ever, Mr. Payne will be unable
to find words with which to ex
press his contempt for Mr. Machen
if, as a result of the discoveries of
Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Bristow, the President de
mands Machen’s dismissal. This
was the course which Payne pur
sued with Judge Tyner, and ex
pressing himself with regard to
Mr. Christiancy, wlibm a few days
before he had favored as a succes
sor to Mr. Tyner, he used terms
that would look very ugly in print.
Mr. Payne’s assumed indignation
is, of course, intended to impress
the President with his sincerity
and is aimed only at men whose
friendship the Postmaster General
regards as no longer of value.
The greatest interest has been
created in Washington by the re
ports received.from St. Louis re
garding the prominence and appa
rent popularity of ex-President!
Cleveland, who received quite an!
ovation. At the banquet given by
the Louisiana Exposition officials |
to the \Y ashington correspondents
at which our correspondent was j
present, Mr. Cleveland made a
speech in a strain entirely new to
him and which was variously in
terpeted. Many present believed
it was a bid for newspaper popu
larity and commented upon the
fact that Mr. Cleveland failed to
take advantage of what was an
auspicious opportunity to deny
his desire for the democratic nom
ination. Others, however, regard
ed Mr. Cleveland’s remarks as
merely an appeal for friendship
without any political significance
whatever and pointed to the ex-
President’s remarks on dedication
day, which were of a more reli
gious character than any he had
ever made before. This contin
gent argued that Mr. Cleveland
was getting old, that he desired to
be at peace with all men and to
obliterate a certain antagonism
which had long existed between
himself and members of the press.
The older democratic correspon
dents were all pleased, however,
with the enthusiasm with which
Mr. Cleveland was greeted main
taining that it should be viewed
from its broad side as an indica
tion of growing democratic en
thusiasm and was far more par
tisan than personal.
It appears than in his recently
published report Goneral Miles
presented one subject with which
the large majority of army and
naval officers agree, viz., the ne
cessity of fortifying Manilla har
bor. It is agreed that if the
Spaniards had taken the precau
tion to properly fortify this ex
cellent, land locked harbor and
emplace a few batteries with mod
ern and effective guns, the his
tory of Admiral Dewey’s attack
upon the Spanish fleet might have
been very different, a view sus
tained by the Admiral himself,
and it is practically assured that
Congress will be strongly urged to
provide funds for the proper pro
tection of Manila bay.
The Joy of Working.
Think not, Sir Man-of-Leisure,
as you peep lazily through your
heavily-curtained window at the
scurrying seven o’clock crowd on
the way to its daily toil, that you
have the best of it because you
can snuggle back beneath your
luxurious covering and sleep until
Jeems or Meadows brings your
morning coffee and paper and ask
if you prefer the Yellow Dragon
or the Green Devil for your fore
noon spin.
Do not lay the flattering unction
to your soul that yours is the hap
pier lot.
Yonder youth with swinging
step, with fists dug deep into the
pockets of his thread-bare coat
and a cold luncheon
paper tucked beneath his arm,
tastes a finer, sweeter joy than all
your luxury can bring.
His is the pleasure of incentive—
the glory of work.
For there is a zest to it all. The
quick spring from bed at the alarm
clock’s summons, the hastily
swallowed breakfast, then out into
the wine-like air of early morning.
To work —vigorous work of brain
or brawn, w'hether it be pegging
away at a desk or directing the
eternal grind of clanking machin
ery.
It is occupation—accomplish
ment !
Do not pity these work-a-day
folks. Save your sympathy for
the hapless and hopeless idle fel
low's—the unfortunates or unwil
linga; alike commiserable.
Joy goes with the working
masses. There is joy in the noon
day luncheon, whether in a gilded
cafe or a cold snack hastily de
voured “before the whistle blows.”
The evening meal is a feast to
the weary man, and his well-earned
rest is the greatest joy of all.
Hard work is the best of all
111
cures for insomnia.
Thank God you can work!
Though your office labor strains
your nerves and racks your brain,
though the “shop” takes the best
of your strength and vitality—be
glad to be living, an active part
of the working world.
You must earn your amusements
before you can enjoy them. Ennui
has no part in the stremyms life.
Be glad, for conscince sake,
that you are not one of those most
miserable of all men. a tellow
without a job—a human machine
standing idle, rusting and losing
its value from disuse.
Thank God you can work 1
When sorrow and grief come,
when you seek to forget, to crush

out cruel thoughts, thank God you
can absorb yourself in your occu
pation, plunge deep into the details
of your duty.
Thank God that you can work—
that you can grasp'your pay en
velope and say, “This is mine,
the rightful pay for the labor of
my brain, the just earnings of my
strong right arm.”
Be thankful, employer as well
as employe, for the joy of work
ing.
Do you know the pleasure of it.
Do not deceive yourself by the
promise (nine times in ten a
pleasant little fiction) that by
and-by you will retire, ease up,
end your life in idle luxury.
The business game is not alone
for the pleasure of the spoils, but
for the joy of playing it.
What the world may call greed
and avarice you know to be the
fascination af accomplishment;
and it will keep you untiringly at
it—on your mettle in the battle —
till the end of life.
For life is work.
And work is life.

& Thomas’ Judicious Advertising.
When a horse picks up a nail in
his foot what does the driver do?
Does he whip the limping, lagging
animal and force him along? Not
unless he wants to ruin the horse.
At the first sign of lameness he
jumps down, examines the foot
and carefully removes the cause
of the lameness. What is called
“weak stomach” is like the lame
ness of the horse, only to be cured
by removing the cause of the
trouble. If you stimulate the
stomach with “whiskey medi
cines” you keep it going, but
every day the condition is grow
ing worse. A few doses °ometimes
of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery will put the disordered
stomach and its allied organs of
digestion and nutrition in perfect
condition. Ninety-eight times in
every hundred “Golden Medical
Discovery” will cure the worse
ailments originating in diseases of
the stomach. It always helps. It
almost always cures. To cure
constipation use Dr. Pierce’s
Pleasant Pellets. They’re sure.
Have Begun Work.
The Southern Bell Telephone
and Telegraph Company have had
for the past week a force of hands
here at work on the new telephone
system which they are installing.
They have been putting in the
new poles, large and durable, pre
paratory to stringing the wires.
They are rushing the work ahead
very fast and will complete it in
a few weeks.
A complete outfit of new poles,
wires, phones and a central sta
tion will be put in, the station
is to be located in the room over
Suggs’ bakery and resturant. The
system will be as complete as can
be found anywhere and the service
as good as can be made.

CUTICURA
OINTMENT
Purest of Emollients and
Greatest of Skin Cures.
The Most Wonderful Curative
of All Time
For Torturing, Disfiguring
Humours.
Cuticura Ointment is beyond question
the most successful curative for tortur
ing, disfiguring humours of the skin and
scalp, Including loss of hair, ever com
pounded, in proof of which a single
anointing with it, preceded by a hot
bath with Cuticura Soap, and followed
in the severer cases by a dose of Cuti
cura Resolvent Pills, is often sufficient
to afford immediate relief in the most
distressing forms of itching, burning
and scaly humours, permits rest and
sleep, and points to a speedy cure when
all other remedies fail. It is especially
so in the treatment of infants and chil
dren, cleansing, soothing and healing
the most distressing of infantile hu
mours, and preserving, purifying and
beautifying the skin, scalp and hair.
Cuticura Ointment possesses, at the
same time, the charm of satisfying the
simple wants of the toilet, in caring for
the skin, scalp, hair and hands from in
fancy to age, far more effectually,
agreeably and economically than the
most expensive of toilet emollients.
Its “Instant relief for skin-tortured
babies,” or “ Sanative, antiseptic cleans
ing,” or “One-night treatment of the
hands,” or “Single treatment of the
hair,” or “ Use after athletics,” cycling,
golf, tennis, riding, sparring, or any
sport, each in connection with the use
of Cuticura Soap, is sufficient evidence
of this.
Millions now rely on Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for pre
serving, purifying and beautifying the
skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts,
scales and dandruff, and the stopping
of falling hair, for softening, whitening
and soothing red, rough and sore
hands, for baby rashes, itchings and
chafings, as well as for all purposes of
the toilet, bath and nursery.
PIEDMONT.
Things are on a “boom” in our
town. Business is good and the
farmers are beginning to be more
hopeful.
The negroes seem to be on a
“boom” of some sort. On Sun
day night the 3rd inst. one Smith
Bankston, a negro, shot one Jane
Kendal. The wound w r as thought
to be fatal, but she is recovering.
Smith was arrested and commit
ted to jail, but made his escape
before the officers could get him to
jail. He is a desperate character
and should be behind the bars.
Our community is infested with
a gang of professional “thieves and
gamblers,” and some body fur
nishes them w'hiskey and then
they are ready for their dirty
work. When a white man gets his
consent to violate the law by sell
ing whiskey to negroes to disturb
the peace of a community, he
should not only be prosecuted but
he should be scorned by every good
citizen.
Mr. I. C. Collier has been lame
for sometime with his sick foot
but he is getting much better and
w'e trust he will soon be at him
self again.
Dr. Harp has been on the sick
list but is much better.
Our people are looking forward
to the singing at the Baptist church
next Sunday. Rev. N. W. Hurst
will preach at eleven a. m. A
large crowd is expected artd they
will have the opportunity to hear
a good sermon.
A large crowd of the old and
middle-aged people in this com
munity met at the home of Mr.
R. L. Allen last Sunday afternoon
and engaged in a Sacred Harp
singing. All seemed to enjoy the
occasion very much. Such occa
sions carry one back to the good
days of the past, and the old
seem to get young again. Such
gatherings are an inspiration to
the young and are commendable.
The trustees of the Vega High
School met Monday evening and
