As one writes a letter so that
may be read, cultivate the art ot
writing clearly, Itgibly and without
undue flourishes. Black ink should
be used for social correspondence.
The stub pen aud its consequent
broad lines remain fashionable. The
thin lines of the pointed nib are
out of date.
Be careful that your letters contain
no abbreviations, erasures,
blots, misspelled words, grammatical
errors or numerals. The date
must written out in full as follows:
The third of March,'' or "March
third." Each word must be separate
and distinct aud a margin of a
half an inch should be left at the
beginning of each line. The beginning
of a letter should be two inches
from the top of the sheet. Do uot
forget to paragraph. A letter written
crosswise is extremely hard to
decipher and for that very reason is
apt to be left unread.? The March

Incisive Drollery of Senator Burton
As an indication of the drollery of
Senator Burton, a story is told of
how he finished a conference with
the remark:
"Geutlemen, there is no use in
askiug; you cannot get the appropriation/'
"Don't you tuiuk that is pretty
hard on us,Mr Burton?" inquired one
of the spokesmen,
"You remind me," replied Mr
Burton, "of the story of how Solomon
Levi borrowed a thousand dollars
from his friend Einstein, Next
day the latter was shocked to hear
that Solomon had become bankrupt.
His annoyance at the ingratitude of
Solomon increased when he read the
list of creditors uext day his own
name did not appear. He hastened to
hud his erstwhile friend and reproached
him:
& "
' 'Do you call yourself my friend,
and you do not even include my
name iu your list of creditors what
about that thousand dollars I gave
you on Monday?'
" 'Nevertheless, I am yourfiiend."
" How is that?'
'"Why, don't you see those men
on that preferred list think they
will get some money but you know
you won't and have no uncertainty
to worry you!'
'That, gentlemen," said Mr Burton,
"is precisely mv position in this
matter. You might as well know
that you won't get anythiug; there
is some consolation in certainty, and
I know you will agree witli me mat
there is a limit eveu to the capacious
pockets of Uncle Sam."'?"Affairk

Words To Freeze The Soul.
"Your son has Consumption.
His case is hopeless," These appalling
words were spoaeu to Geo
E Blevens, a leading merchant of
Springfield, N C, by two expert
doctors?one lung specialist. Then
was shown the wonderful power of
Dr King's New Discovery. "After
three weeks use," writes Mr Blevens,
"he was as well as ever. I
would not take all the money in the
world for what it did for my boy."

Race Suicide as Viewed by a Woman.
Woman is charged with having
"lost the God-given desire to become
a wife and mother. Various reasons
are assigned for this, but I have seen
- . I
no mention ot what l believe to oe
the greatest cause of this loss. Is it
uot because our nation lias refused
to protect the home that the American
woman refuses to become a wife
and mother? She has wept, prayed
and petitioned our state and national
governments to throw around the
homes of this country some protection
from the greatest curse this
world has ever known. But instead
of granting her request "this laud
of the free aud tne (home of the
brave" has gone into partnership
- - * .1 i
i with the Home-destroyer, so tne oniy 1
reply weeping, petitioning woman-1
hood receives is: "Go make homes,
be patien4 children, and each
abont 100,000 of
.ds' graves, and we
w many of them we
. place iu almshouses, county
jails, penitentiaries and insane asylums."
It is not because a woman loves a
poodle dog more than a baby that
she chooses the dog, but if she pays
the tax and puts a collar on her dog
she is protected by the law from the
dog slayer; but tell me, if you can,
how a mother can protect her boy?
She went down to the gates of death
to give him birth. She counts this
I as naught for the joy that a man
! -'--11 : - 1 C'U . n;m
Ciliiu is uuiu. one ?aii/uc3 uici uiui,
sleeping and waking, warns him of
the dangers of the intoxicating cup,
but it availeth not. Ere the blush of
youth has left his cheek she sees him
offered a sacrifice on the altar of his
nation's greed.
What wouder that woman buys a
ranch,goes into sheep raising instead j
of raising boys? Wool-growers are 1
protected, and if the wolves should ,
abound our government would pay
so much per head for their destruction.
Eutthe destroyer of our sons
is protected by law; his business is
legalized. When the voters of the
country make the raising of children
a safe business, then will our daughters
become wives and joyful mothers

city shall tx',full of ' oys and girls
playing iu 1 street! thereof."

EXCESSIVE APPROPRIATIONS.
Check Should Be Put ou Those Who
Loot Public Crib.
We publish today a clipping from
the Evening Record in which Senator
Muuldin of Greenville expresses J
himself on the finances of the State,!
' |
appropriations, assessments, etc.
In our opinion this is the most I
sensible thing that we have seen in j
many a day. We hare been more
than disgusted over the vaporings of
assessments returning property at
its full value, and all this pull and
tug at the people by certain gentlemen
who seem to feel that thev know
it all.
Senator Maulditi is right. It is
not higher returns of property that
is needed, but equalization, and some
way to keep dowu these eternally increasing
appropriations. If some
people in this country had their way
they would confiscate the property
of our people and squander it in appropriations.
