Over the hills the daisies white Where the birds sing low and sweet, Where falls the shadows of the night And blue skies with the waters meet. Over the hills the stars are shining. To light the earth below And far away in the distance The fairy-winds blow. Over the hills in dreamland roam And all the world is mine, Where in the silent gleaming I worship at Nature's shrine. North Carolina and the Railroads The North Carolina business men do not simply want to know North Carolina is against in freight rates, but they want a stop put to it. It is results and not talk they are after. When goods are hauled through the State to a point be- for less than the rate would have been to stop them in the State, there is good ground for a kick North Carolina wants her rights. She needs every cent of money, f r education, for ion and for industrial advance- and it is but right that our people should seek to get justice for the old North State in the matter of freight rates.

The fireman of the lumber plant went to the boiler room to replenish the fires In readiness for the work of the day- He had thrown one load of shavings into the furnace, and while gone out to get another load some of the the burning shavings fell out and set fire to things around the boil- In a few moments the room was enveloped in flames. At such an hour the town deep slumber, and not people in other sec- of the were awakened when the factory whistle sound- ed an alarm. In fact there is so much blowing of whistles here in the early morning hours that people are less liable to observe a whistle alarm at such an hour. The fire alarm gone at the mar house was also rung, but even this did not awaken people far from it Still fire- men and citizens heard the alarm to hurry to the scene and do effective work. A line of hose was quickly run from the nearest and the fire was confined to the boiler house. The main body of the factory caught fire several times but by good worK was put out and the valuable plant saved. The damage to the boiler house is estimated at about which is covered by insurance The effectiveness of system of water works was practically demonstrated at this fire. But for the abundant and convenient water supply, only a heap of ruins and ashes would now mark the site of a factory. In this one in- stance more than was saved.

Fact, isn't it We hadn't thought of it before, but one's own experience confirms it. The average man who attains a little prominence or accumulates a little property likes to boast of his success. It is to his credit that he has accumulated some- thing and he the most of it. In fact it takes a very little rise to set some men boasting and the best of them will sometimes magnify their difficulties and their success.
