But Not For the Enlightened Present.
'l'bere always has been since the
Very earhest Listory of man in
his venighted pilgrimage along
tne bunks of the Nile and up to
the present time, to a Certain ex
tout, w streak of credulity aud sa-
perstition in the human family.
S.soding to-day as we are the
_reatest aud wost mighty race of
} suple since the earliest history
uf tue world, having attained the
highest degree of intelligence and
enlightenment of any of our pred-
jceasors, it 1s easy to draw upon
the imagination and gaze far
down the vistas of ages and by
ie sid of cuvntemplation soon
Dring Ourselves to a fuil realiza-
tion of the many, many ridiculous
iurms and customs engaged in by
vur early forefathers. Our en
lightened civilization of modern
times wou.d not think of counte-
nancing,and our higher and more
acute sense of retinement and cul-
tare would rebel at,the gladiatorial
performances of an ancient Ko-
wan amphitheatre. Tue high de-
gree of enlightenment of this age
shines with such dazzliny brilli-
~uce in Comparison with past ages,
su far as progress in science, lit
erature and high moral culture is
concerned, that we lose sight of
the fact that vach one vf us is
carryiog some of those same old
qraits of human nature that were
~prevalent 81x thousand years ago.
There is actually to-dxy a be-
lief in spiritualism amoog some
of our people who have had op-"
ployed would have elevated them
far above this channel of super-
stitious credulity. There is some-
thing connected with this . so-
called spiritualism (if this writer
were called upon to name it he
woula call it a human, not super-
magnetic electrical current) which
appeals not tothe higher senses
bat to the very lowest facuity of
superstition, and if the higher
sense of practical reason does not
come to the rescue there is no
telling where this idea will lead.
If any sensible man will seriously
enquire of his practical reasoniag
and listen to the - dictates of his
sober judgment the question will
not long be a puzzling one.
Now this writer does not want
to offend any citizen of the U:i-
ted States that claims protection
under ics constitution in a@ com-
munity where the people of course
do not know that every American
citizen (unless he be a crank or a
lunati -) 18 entitled to protection,
but if this epistle should miss its
mark and trample upon any oneTs
toes all we have to say in the
wibd up is we are véry sorry that
the United States has a citizen
naturalized that.is here, while the
slowly sinking sun of nineteen
centuries of civilization is reflect-
ing its golden brilliance across
the unclouded sky of a nationTs
greatest greatness in science,liter-
ature and art, trying to force
down the mental channels of an
enlightened and civilized peop!e
ths belief in a human device called
spiritaalisua. JUNIOR, Sr.
WORE TOBACCO NOW.
If there ever was a time when
young tobacco demanaed extreme
attention it is now. The hard and
constant rains have run the soil
together and unless it is loosened
up tobacco will begin to run up
aud batton very early-
A few evenings ago we rode out
in the country, the second fair
and surshiny day that we have
had in many, ead along the road"
side we saw u field of tobacco that
been set during the wet
weather. The plants § looked
healthy and vigorous and so did
the grass. Down in the field on
an old sand hill that had been
planted in corn we found the
owner of the tobacco patch. He
was zealously at work replanting
his corn, which under ordinary
circumstances could not have
produced more than two
portunities and advantages which
to the acre, was looking fairly
if they had been properly em- well under thecircumstances. We

asked him why it was that he
seemed so eager to work out his
corn which was not suffering at
all when his tobacco needed his

At length they stopped. BarkaT
was white with foam und Lux cov-

feel the cold, for the awful thought
in his mind kept his whole body
warm and tingliog.
oIt is yonder,� he said to himself
in a deep-voiced growl, ~~it is there

At this point the road made a sud-

continued in a steep, terrible slope.
On the right was a dark, mysterious

The Gulf of Death, as it was called,

He tied Barka toa tree stem on

How a Young Lover Obeyed | the Ore
der of His: Colonel.
A young English officer in India
left his regiment on a sick leave and
went to a hotel, where, it happened,
a lovely girl was staying, says
YouthTs Companion. They became
engaged, and the wedding was set.
The colonel, however, disapproved of
the sub-lieutenan tTsgetting married;
and particularly of the ~~sub� in
question As he happened to be a
friend of the youny manTs. father, he
thought he might prevent the. mar-
riage by sending a peremptory tele-
gram couched in these words: ~Join
at once!� The lover was in despair.
| He presented himself before his fian-
cee with the fatal missive in bis
hand and anything but a look of
pleasure on his countenance; but the
hay was equal to the occasion: With
a blush of maiden simplicity she
she cast her eyes upon the ground
and said:
oDoar me, Tam glad your eolonel
approves of the match! But whata
hurry he isin! FIdonTt think I car
set ready so soon; but PH do my
best; because, of course, his com-
mand must be obeyed.�
The young warrior was puzzled.
~DonTt you see,� he said, ~~that this
message puts a stopper on our plans?
You donTt seem: to understand the
teleyram. He says, peremptorily:
~Join at once!T �
The ladyTs blushes. redoubled; but
with a look of simplicity she raised
her lovely eyes to his face and re-
plied:
~It is you, my aera who donTt
seem. to understand. Your colonel
says plainly: ~Join, at oncelT . by
which, of course, he means get mar-
ried immediately. What elseT ~can
he mean?� A look of intelligence
replaced the air of bewilderment on
the young. manTs face. He accepted
the explanation and-was enabled to
suswer the colonelTs telegram forty-
eight hours afterward in these
words ~~Your orders were obeyed. |
We were joined at once!�

fault of bail he war committed to

Sunday School Excursion.
Two extra coaches were attach.
ed to the north bound train this
morning for the use of the Meth-
dist Sunday School, of Grifton,
which was having an excarsion to
Rocky Mount. titseems the
railroad people missed it in their
calculation as to how the people
of Grifton would turn out on an
excursion, forthe crowd was s0
large that not only the extra
coaches were filled, bat the regu-
lar*passenger coaches were crow
ed and mauy had to standin the
aisles and on the platforms. The
crowd seemed bent on having a
Kinston/£004 dayTs pleasure and we are
have done so. The
eatther was all that could be ask-
ache ye
ed for an excursion.
