A girl in Virginia walked three

Hector D . Lane, president of the
American Cotton Growers Protect
ive Association, continues to im
press upon southern farmers the
importance of reducing the cotton
acreage. Mr. Lane is right, but
whether his advice will be heeded
is quite another matter.
Some Minnesota sportsmen
were told by a small boy that if
they would take a piece of rubber
hose, thrust it into a rabbit’s bur
row and blow through it that it
‘ would frighten Ber rabbit half to
death, and that he would evacuate
his quarters in great haste. The
scheme worked beautifully until
they struck a hole containing a
skunk, and well—they haven’t ap
plied for a patent on that rubber
hose trick.
We cannot help thinking every day
of the school children as they gleefully
trudge by. Our thoughts are not mor
bid, To them it seems that every day
the world is bright, the fields, the hills
the streams that water the vale are
laughing in their glee with them, and
over all hangs the color of th a rose.
One day they will look back upon the
pathway that has been trodden, the
leaves will be tinged as the glories of
autumn come on apace and then "they
will realize that “sorrow’s crown of
sorrow is remembering things.”—Mon

An enterprising merchant in
south Georgia worked a neat ad
vertisement and at the same time
showed a very charitable spirit re
cently when he refused to prose
cute a negro whom he caught in
the act of stealing a coat and a
pair of pants. He said, through
the columns of the weekly p*per
in his town, that the most remark
able feature of the case was that
any one should steal from his store
when goods were sold so cheap
that stealing was a pure w r asto of
time.
Recent reports from those west
ern states where the elective fran
chise has been extended to women
J
and where the field of activity for
the fair sex has been opened al
most to the widest limit, indicate
that the experiment has not been
satisfactory, that the causes lead
ing up to the aggravated discon
tent that has prevailed in those
states so long is still an unsolved
problem, and that unrest and dis
satisfaction are just as great and
unreasonable now as before the
ballot was given to women. Great
doubt is expressed, too, us to wheth
er active participation in political
affairs has added to either the
sanctity or happiness of the do
mestic circles. —Chattanooga

Prohibition work is an absolute
necessity, but if prohibition is over

total abstinence principles. The

have been educated to voluntary
abstinenc from intoxicants, as the
best and wisest curse for them
selves. —Motive.

CHELSEA ITEMS.
News scarce in this community. We
have had quite a rain fall during the
past week and it has put the farmers
behind with their work and they are
waiting for the warm sun to shine

can begin to plant their crops.
Chelsea is on quite a boom. We
have two stores in our village and they

Prof. J. M. Lowry has a fine schooj

seems to be growing in this commun

more interested in the education of

The Sunday schools at this place are
moving along nicely considering the
inclemency of the weather. When
the beautiful spring comes the pros
pects bid fair for a good attendance at
the Baptist and Methodist churches.
The Rev. M. L. Troutman preached

Harvey Dodd was in town last
Friday and when he started home
in the afternoon, found that the
river was running through the Hin
ton lane. He was well fortified
against moccasin bites how'ever,
and waded through all right. It
was neck deep in places, and occa
sionally Dodd would go out of
sight under the water, but always
managed to come up again*
Those who saw it said it was better
than a ten cent circus.
Mr. E. W. Ponder, of Haywood,
lost a valuable mare last week un
der rather peculiar circumstances.
Returning from Summerville he
spent the night with Capt. Dill, at
Gore. Going to the stable next
morning to get his animal he
found a small piece of plank ad
hering to her thigh by a nail. It
seems that during the night the
animal had lain down on the
plank, in which was the sharp
pointed nail sticking upward. At
first the injury did not seem se
rious, but later blood poison set in,
and death speedily followed.
We publish elsewhere in this is
sue a brief synopsis of the ordi
nances of the Town Council in
reference to matters of most com
mon interest to the citizens of the
town, and also of the country.
The new council is determined, as
far as possible, to enforce to the
letter, the ordinances set forth, and
to maintain good order, and to pro
tect all classes of people from the
misconduct of those w r ho some
times seem to think that a bar
room in a town is an excuse, if not
justification, for drunkenness and
disorderly conduct generally.
The city fathers are certainly on
the right line, and ought to have
the active support of all the peo
ple of the town. In the meantime
those who don’t want to pay the
fiddler had best not dance.

Gore is very much submerged
just at present; but we are not
complaining, for “God is in the
Heavens yet,” and all is well.
The many friends of Capt- M. P-
Dill are glad to see his genial face

has been badly missed.

Can Serve Out Terms.
Washington, March 15. —Post-
master General Gary made the de
finite announcement to the Asso
ciated Press today that the admin
istration, after deliberation, has
decided to adhere to the four-year
tenure of office for all postmasters.
He stated that except in all
cases where removal for cause was
required on account of delinquency,
incompetency or other instances
of unsatisfactory conduct or ad
ministration of offices, all post
masters of the fourth class, as well
as those of presidential appoint
ment, would be allowed to serve
out a term of four years.
This official statement of policy,
one of the most important so far
determined upon, has been await
ed with great interest by the en
tire corps of assistant postmasters
and by the patrons of the 70,650
postoffices throughout the coun
try.

Rev. Mr. Milner.
With more than unusual sadness,
we mention the departure of our
beloved pastor, who was so sudden
ly called away; for nearly a quar
ter of a century he had labored
with us.
He was one whose heart was
much in his work, abundant in la
bor for the good of precious souls.
He had the high esteem, and great
love, of his people. He was em
inent and renowned, for his gifts
and graces, so he was blesred with
the conversion of many souls. He
preached the true gospel, regardless
of what the world might say, with
the Bible for his anchor, he was 8
aithful worker for his M aster.
While we bow in bumble suf -
mission to the will of our Master,
deeply feel our loss, but mourn not
as those who have no hope; for we
have the assurance that he has en
tered into the rest which is pre
pared for the children of God.
We tender our sympathies to
the bereaved family in their sore
affliction. A. C. A.
