Dear As your business is to get people into out of trouble, , suppose you consider their paint; it makes almost as much as money, except of course They buy poor a good deal; they mean to; they I know any better; they buy without thinking. Bad isn't good. I It looks good-enough a year; to get rusty; but changes so slowly, one notice it. all. The business of paint is to keep a house dry in- side, the wood iron of it; keep it from rot ting rusting. Takes good to do it. Good bad are sold at or about that. One can't go by the price at all; as with law- yen, the price has nothing to do with goodness or badness, are worse yet, the painter land come-in share. But the is that a man, who will come- out top.

ALL FAIR IN BUSINESS t Nut long ago we met a prosperous looking man on a river steamer who laid down the rule that all is fair in business, as in love and war. The conversation turned upon a mutual acquaintance, in for severe denunciation from our fellow pas- who said that our mutual acquaintance was dishonest, as he knew of an instance where he had virtually robbed his employer. I would never do said the other party. I could get the of a man in a business I could sell him something he had never seen at three thuds its value or cost to me, I would do it, but I would not take money out his drawer. All is fair in There is a great deal of this honesty in the business world today. It is essentially a product of commercial civilization. It is practiced every day in the year right here in Greenville, in North Carolina and Union. The man who would not steal your chickens would sell you is lie knew were likely to die, and call it a shrewd stroke of business on his part. Maybe he would not lie to you concerning a business but he will neglect to speak; a truth which might injure his interests. It is but a new plication of the old law of every j man for himself, softened a little in appearance perhaps, but in reality as brutally as in the prim- twilight. RURAL LIBRARIES. There is no more important relating to education, and, in- deed, the future greatness of the state, that of rural libraries. We who were in the country can appreciate the joy of having all the books one wants to read. years ago we used to walk miles and miles to borrow a dilapidated or and in our hearts there was ever some regret , that we could not have the works the best of a man in a business our souls craved. We led a narrow life, we country boys and girls. We didn't know much about railroads . . T ,, , . I and theaters. We longed but I would not take money out of I i for knowledge of the world that lay beyond our farms. We dreamed of the day when we should be man and how we should kiss the mother good- and briskly down the lane, out to the white road, past the or- chard and hay on to the city. Hut it seemed like the age of a patriarch from to and we wanted to know wanted to know all about Walter Scott and his days of chivalry. The few pages we had found of Cooper's fired our hearts and souls with de- sire to know more about the world as it had been end it is. Well, the scenes we longed to lived in the joy of a dream come true, but we never forgot the country boy and the longing of his heart. These rural libraries will mean Bulgaria must be the country with the largest population in the world. Since the fracas began about seven hundred thousand in- have been killed by the Turks and newspaper dents. The Chicago federation of labor has sent the president a letter of advice containing words. Even his worst enemies would not inflict such cruel and unusual punishment upon Ins Virginia physicians have decided that it is not contrary to the ethics of their profession to advertise their business in the newspapers and otherwise. As a discovery this beats the efforts of the late C. Columbus. Snow Hill voted to subscribe to the Raleigh rail- road. The company can now take its choice of routes, but are sorry for their judgment if they cut Greenville out. The unloaded gun has given way to the loaded gun in the hands of a mighty hunter who sees a bush move and shoots into it, with the re- that a man or woman falls out of the bush. The hunter should not shoot into a bush for no other reason than that it moves, or folks should not contract the habit of residing in bushes even temporarily.

Evidently the farmers and tobacco men of this county do not hate tobacco trust sufficiently to go into business In opposition to it. The courthouse bell rang tho requiem to the independent factory movement in this county Saturday. Greenville hereby puts in a bid for the democratic state convention. We know we won't get it, but we have no hard feelings against the state executive committee. Not having been able to find a Richard j de Lion or a Sir Godfrey de Bulgaria will postpone its 20th century crusade against the heathen. Governor Aycock hat set down on the A.

No doubt all of the gentlemen think they will make a better gov- and the coming race, let no one than the present lift a hand to oppose rural libraries. Buffalo has been quiet so long that we thought it was about time for another tragedy to be reported from that city. It has come in the shoot- of his son-in-law by an old man, who completed the tragedy by blow- out his own brains. President Roosevelt refuses to dismiss Miller, the non-union employee of the government print- office, but he will make a grand effort to square himself with the labor unions before election day, and will probably succeed. SB i I The United States are said to be arranging for a treaty with If King can take our race question over there with aim a while, we will be mash obliged to the assistance the newspapers. Senator Gorman believes the office should seek the man, but that it is not necessary for the man to keep conspicuously out of the way. Congressman Small's inland waterway from Norfolk to Beaufort will cost ten millions. How much of this will be stolen we cannot say but John H. will not get a cent of it, though he is the man who has labor- ed for years to bring it about. The dispensary sold over worth of liquor from January to June of this year. Three per cent, of the gross receipts, amounting to about was paid into the state treasury. There are more saloons in New York city than in the entire South. We ought to send some missionaries up there. William of Germany recently arrived in Vienna on a visit to Emperor Francis of Austria. Their highnesses exchanged kisses at the depot. If Mr. Hearst intends starting a daily organ in this state he may as well come prepared to blow in all tho money in his family. It is announced that the last escape from the penitentiary did not happen, but it will be gated. It takes the self-made man a long time to see where the job could have been improved. If we could hear of a Turkish defeat occasionally the war in the East would not scorn so hopeless.
