J. 8 Bogbioo A Oo. He Didn't Choke. Toward Mecca the thoughts and as? pirations of all pious Moslems are turned, and at least once In his life? time the good Mohammedan Is expect? ed to make a pilgrimage to that city. One of the duties of the pilgrim im? mediately after his arrival is to make a journey seven times round a holy portico outside the mosque. "We went at a great pace," says an Englishman, who, disguised as a Mo? hammedan, paid a visit to Mecca at the risk of his life, "and the day was growing hot. When the procession was over, we came buck to the mosque and were each given a bowl of limpid water. 1 was so thirsty that I drank mine at a draft and asked for more, whlyh 1 noticed produced a very good Impression, for, as I afterward learned, this was the sacred water of Temzen, which an infidel cannot drink without being choked. "This was supposed to be tbe''water which was supplied to Hagar when she was perishing in the desert."? Christian Endeavor World. He Rode Down. Algernon Dougherty of the United* States diplomatic service has qualities of his owu to account for his success as well as being the son of the famous "Silver Tongued" Dougherty of Phila? delphia* Ooe of the rules of the aris? tocratic Parisian concierge is that while ouo may riile up in the elevator OOS must uot ride down. It was Mr. Doogberty who broke down this rule in a house in the Rue do Maturin. He started down, aud the concierge stopped the elevator. "It is forbidden." "By whom?" "The proprietor forbids It," said tbe concierge. Mr. Dougherty drew himself up aud said. "Tell your proprietor that 1 for? bid him to forbid me anything!" and rode on down. And now even the timid maiden ladies on the sixth floor play with that elevator as though It were a?tame cat.?San Francisco Argo? naut. ? ?? One Point of fteaemblnnee. "The elder Sot hern was a good story teller, and he particularly liked to dwell on his experiences at the outset of his stage life, when he was a minor mem? ber of the John McCullough company," snld the old time theater goer. "McCullough was playing in Texas, and in one town where ho was billed to play 'Ingomar,' through some accident on the railroad, the necessary costumes were delayed. "The manager was equal to the situ? ation, however. He went to every butcher's shop In town and hired all the sheep and cow hides he could to dress up his supers. "When McCullough came on the stage that night, he fell back appalled by the stench of the hastily Improvised cloth? ing worn by the barbarians. " 'What do you think of them?' Soth ern laughingly asked McCullough, pointing to the supers as the curtain rolled down. " 'They neither act like, look like nor talk like barbarians,' curtly growled the tragedian, 'but, by the gods, they smell like them.' "?Kansas City Inde? pendent. Slow Snlclrte. A source of great evil among all workers Is the widespread habit of eating a hearty men I hurriedly when the body is in a state of exhaustion. Too often, alas, the evil is enhanced by the fact that the food is innutri? tions, badly cooked and clogging In Itself. This is one species of slow sui? cide, causing a long train of evils width are usually attributed to over Work. Now, It were better to go with? out food than to take it under thess Conditions. Your dog knows better than to eat when he is tired, and if you will watch him you will notice that he Is always reluctant to be en? ticed Into play after eating. Left to himself he will take a nap, or at losst drop care for awhile and rest. Hu? manity might raise its standard of health by following the example set by the instincts of the brute crea? tures.? 1 lesltb Culture. The fir tree Is the commonest of all trees, being found In every part of the world. Win hearts aud you have all men's hands snd purses. Man and 111? Smoke. Every little while you read that a man 00 years old ani still hale and hearty has smoked all his life, but it Is nevertheless a fact that smoking is very Injurious. Men should be ashamed that they are unable to quit the habit. This Is not written by a man who has no desire to smoke, but by a man who smokes a great deal, has tried several times to quit and couldn't do It. When you find a boy who Is pale and slek from his first smoke, remember that his father and his grandfather are to blame. It will take thousands of years to reform the world If we be? gin now. A boy If as certain to look for a pipe as he is to look for a sweet? heart. His father was guilty of both offenses before him.?Atchlson Globe. - I Queer Cards of Shrewd Lawyers. Not all men of the legal profession are content with the severe inscrip? tion on their cards to which etiquette and custom usually confine them. An Ohio lawyer who makes a specialty of collections calls attention to this fact by a novel device printed on his cards and letter heads. On n great red splotch intended to represent a drop of blood are the words, "Claims collected in cold blood," the capital "C" for the three first letters of those words being of sufficient size to encircle the other words. In Maryville, Mo., a lawyer presents his portrait on his card, with the sug? gestive motto: "He that Is not with you is against you. See me early." ATLANTIC. COAST UNE North-Eastern R. R. of 8.

EDITOR: You may have had us in mind when referring in a recent issue of your paper to the peculiarity of merchants in regard to advertising, in which you quoted them as saying that "in good times it was not necessary to advertise, and in hard times it did not pay." While we have always found that advertising paid us, we must confess that for the past sixty days any in? crease of business that we might secure by that means, could not have been satisfactorily waited on, as our clerical force has been taxed to its utmost capacity. Now that the rush of cotton is over and we have an opportunity to say a few words to our friends in the country, we desire to acknowledge, through the columns of the Watch? man and Southron, our grateful thanks to them for the liberal patronage bestowed upon us, for which we can offer nothing in, return except our promise that their interests will be as care? fully guarded by us in the future as they have been in the past. It is particularly gratifying to us to acknowledge a very liberal trade during the months of September and October from our farming friends, to whom it was our pleasure to extend a credit during the summer. It proves to us that they appreciate our endeavor to be just and reasonable with them, when they need assistance, as we have always tried to be?our motto being LIVE AND LET LIVE Although we tried to anticipate this season's wants by buying a heavier stock than ever before, our trade has so far x exceeded our expectations, that we have been obliged to re? plenish frequently and freely every department of our store. In Dry Goods We bought a very heavy stock of staples, a fair percentage of which we still have on hand and are selling at old prices, Those Tar Heel Blankets Which you have been waiting for so long have come at last. It was not our fault that they were not here sooner as our contracts were made in May for September delivery, but the mill has been so crowded with orders it was impossible to deliver them sooner. These goods are made in A Southern Mill From Southern Wool, By Southern Men and there \re none better. They are improving on the finish every year. We are selling at the same price as last year: but if we have to duplicate we will be obliged to charge an advance. We only have about FIFTY PAIRS, so don't put off buying, or you may get left. SHOES. Why the advance in cotton should have affected the price pf shoes, but strange to say they too have gone up. We don't know whether it was judgment or luck, but our purchases for Fall were nearly double our usual contracts. We are buying now for Spring and paying 10 to 15 per cent more for the same class of goods, but those 03 hand will go at the old prices while they last. In our write-up about Shoes last Fall we had something spe? cial to say about The X 0. Godman Line for Women and Children. Our increased sales for these goods prove that we told the truth. Bear in mind we are still the Sole Agents for them and Guarantee every Pair THE L. M. REYNOLDS LINE OF MEN'S SHOES, sold exclusively by us, are trade-winners. The prices range from $1.75 to $3.50, and every pair warranted. If you want the best $3.00 shoe buy a Reynolds. CLOTHING. This has certainly been our banner season in the clothing business, and if there are any of the men or boys in the county who have not bought a suit, it has not been our fault; but fear? ing there still may be a few unprovided, we are keeping up our stock by telegraphing orders for shipment by express. If you need an overcoat see us before buying, as we have some great values. In our Hat and Furnishing Goods De? partment will be found some values that compare favora? bly with the balance of our stock. This announcement would not be complete without a word about our GROCERY STOCK. This department is up to the usual standard, and that is saying about all that is necessary for it. Our M1LLRURNE FLOUR, of which we believe there is more sold in this county hau other brand, is pronounced by those who use it, unsur? passed. O'Donnell & Co.
