Last night was “Hallowe’en’’—Oc
tober 31st. This is doubtless some
thing new to our younger readers,
but it comes down to us from honor
ed tradition, having started in the
earliest days of superstition. It is
the night when all the mysterious
powers of tho air are loosed and
ghost i walk, and witches ride, anu
fairies dance. It was considered by
its devotees as the night when the
future might be foreseen and nuruei-
ous plans to that end were adopted
by gay youths and maidens. It was
the time for the fortune tellers to
reap a harvest from their deluded
victims. Get some old fortune telling
“hag” to tell you all about It. boys
and girls, and It will make the hair
rise on your heads and stand on its
ends. Such a one as old Aunt “Peg
gy Tledup’’ used to be, when she
could make the coffee pot boll In two
minutes on three small coals of fire,
or run the cows up on the side of
the house, dry up their milk and turn
up Jack generally. In the minds of the
ignorants and superstitious. She
could look a “nigger” in the eye and
tell wfiiose chickens he ate a month
after he did so. When you have made
your investigation you will be puz
zled to know what the fool killer was
doing when this work was going on.

ly wounded one away over yonder In
j "Tarheeldom.” Now, who would
: even have thought of that small a
charge hitting a man away over there
at Gastonia, N. C.? “The hit dog al
ways yelps.” We take It for granted
that our friend, “Sewing Machine
Agent,” Is a real Tarheel, because we
don’t believe that there Is any South
Carolinian who would be so disres
pectful to his own State, as to take
refuge in another State to evade the
paying of a license. Now we don’t
profess to know anything about the
dealings of sewing machine agents in
North Carolina, but we do know of
them In this section. So far as we
know, our friend over in the Tarheel
State may sell sewing machines at
the common price of them, which Is
from $2.50 to $20.
We are real glad to hear of one
honest sewing machine agent but our
Gastonia friend Is the first one that
we have ever heard of, but, we cail-
not help but wonder what the shape
of a man’s head would be, who had
engaged In a mercantile business for
the long term of five years without
ever knowing the price of hla wares.
We have a different type of sew
ing machine agents In this part of
the country. There was one in this
section a few weeks ago and sold a
machine to one of our neighbors, (a
simple confiding fellow), for sixty

class new machine, but Instead of
a new machine, we have been Inform
ed by those who know, that it was
an old second-hand machine and al
most worthless, not worth exceeding
five dollars. That’s the kind of sew

are always glad to hear from you.

admiration for the Baldwin Concert

Its beautiful tone.
It Is so fine that It Is possible for
me to express all the musical -o-
mantlcisms, all the deepest secrets
of my heart.
My expressions with the peq are
too feeble. I can do it much better
on tho piano.
With expressions of esteem for
you am, the artisans of Cincinnati,
who could make such a piano, so ca
pable of expressing all the poetry of
music, I am, mv dear sir.
Very truly yours,
