Yet .they fail to supply their share of the patronage that \vould warrant these stores to keep such a stock .

'On i people can not expect to secure the kind of stores that this .commun ity is entitled to on the basis of its population and wealth if they are con stantly running or sending elsewhere to buy goods before giving, the home merchant a chance to supply them. Unless our people give the patronage to their home town stores, our mer chants can not serve them with maxi mum efficiency. Try to buy everything needed from your home merchant and our home merchants should buy everything they can resell from home manufac i hirers. |?. (1.

We notice that the postoffice de partment has ordered an examination to procure applicants for several post offices in the state. The postoffice de partment. as a branuh of the govern ! ment, seeks to* lead aspiring young | men and women to believe that effie } ie.nt help will be in demand and that j merit will he rewarded on these ex ! animations, when there is "no sich | animal." In order to ? carry on its j phU'dce and clistom of decyption the department will announce that it se lects one applicant from the three i making the highest mark on* the ex 1 am ination. Why not select the one ' making the highest mark? Politics ; and lying politics is the answer. : The postoffice department will do I its own grading and it will manage to I have its pet in the three highest at each examination, and the pet will be named for the office regardless of his merit.

His death was due to blood poisoning through the bite of an insect with tho later development of pneumonia. The death <(f the Karl of Carnar von conies soon after the culmination of the exploit that brought him chiefly irrto public notice ? the discovery of the rich tomb of the Pharaoh Tutan khamen in the Valley of the Kings in Kgypt by the urchaclogical expedi tion which he headed. While the press of the world wa-e still devoting no small amount of its space to the notable contributions to the world art and history which Lord Carnarvon and his fellow explorers had uncovered came the news that he. had been suddenly stricken down and was lying seriously ill in Cairo from the bite of an insect. By the public at large the misfor tune which the Karl had met was re garded as a lamentable incident of what might happen in a tropical clime such as that of Kgypt, but to the cred ulous students of Egyptian mysticism the news did n^>t come as a surprise, Kven before Lord Carnarvon was stricken with blood poisoning, an nounced aa due to an insect bite, there had been talk of the curses laid by the ancient Kgyptians, with mystic in cantations, on any who dare disturb the sleep of^a Pharaoh. After he was stricken the old. legends spread and ?hundreds were to be found, not before superstitious, who were ready to be^ lieve that the old Kgyptian curse had fallen <>n the rich and famous English-* man. There were some who even ques jtioned whether it was an insect that had dealt him the poisonous stroke. It was suggested that he might tyave touched some poisonous object in tbAY tomb itself, set thirty centuries ago to revenge the dead King on any who might 'disturb his rest. The Stone Mountain memorial, says an Atlanta dispatch is soon to bo a reality. The colossal (inures of Lee; 'Jackson, Cordon and other heroes of the Confederacy will, within a short time, begin to emerge from the stojie face of the mountain under th? chisel of (Jutson Horglum and march their deathless way along- the mountain side into the myriad years of the future. This much has now been practically assured with the announcement of the formation of the Stone Mountain Me morial Association, whose primary purpose is to be a raising of the funds necessary to complete the gigantic un dertaking. A campaign will begin at I once to raise $250,000 in Georgia. As j soon as Georgia has responded the 1 campaign will be carried to the rest of J the nation. Governors of thirteen j southern states, senators and repre ! sentatives from these states, the pros I idents of all universities and patriotic societies in the south have been in vited to be present at the launching of ; the campaign on April 10.

If you don't believe thin take a look at the Sunday schools. Twenty years ago the Sunday schools were at* a rule poor and struggling affair*. H*w men thought it worth while or oven good form to attend them. At the average Sunday school the only men attendants were the superintendent, one .or two teachers and ?ome old geezer whose lovb of handling money ma die him willing to act as treasurer. The Sunday schools were made up 01 women and children, mostly young children. -*V Today every church has an active Sunday school, and there are about as many adults as there are children. Kvery Sunday school has a ltyerivt Bible class, and it is made up of the leading men* of the community, the men who ryally count. There may be hypocrites among them, of course, but most of them are real, earnest Chris tians, and the fact that so many men now attend Sunday School shows that public sentiment now recognizes that it is the thing to do. This -change in spirit is not confined to any one denomination or to any one section. It covers the entire coun try. The world is getting betttr. ? Carolina Citizen # AN ORDINANCE.
