It is time for the editors of the
two Observers-Charlotte and Fay-
etteville—to calla halt and quit
‘their controyersy. They have
traded compliments and called
each other liars, and have not

Perjury.
It ir noticed that in his charges
to the grand juries Judge Greene,
of the Superior Court, is paying
particular attention to the crime |
of perjury, which he says is
increasing. At Caldwell court
Jasi week -he committed one
offender to jail. It is time our
judges were addressing their
Special attention to this subject.
Not only judges and lawyers and
court officials, but ordinary citi-
~ gens, have often seen a witness
take the oath and swear falsely,
as everybody in the sound of his
voice knew, or might have known.
But perhaps the jurors did not
know it, and thus this false testi-
mony may haye influenced their
verdict. Such . testimony has,
often influenced verdicts. The
courts cannot, of course, always
protect themseives against per-
jurers, but they can punish them
and thus deter others. To make
even an occisional example
would haye a salutary effect, and
Judge Greene's course in charg-
ing spscially against this crime
and his action in particular in’
putting an offender in jail for it
deserve commendation. Justice
fails too often, even when the
truth is brought outin the court
house. Ifthe increasing evil of
bearing false witness is to go
unpunished, the whole system of
laws is a mockery, for it is upon
the hypothesis that the truth is
gotten in the court house that
the whole fabric rests.—Charlotte
Observer.

THERE ARE TONS OF GOLD.

=| Yes, there are-tons of gold im:
the Klondike gold fields, as is
told in the alluring headliness
over the news ofthe Alaska ad-
yentures- The idea that there
are tons of gold in the Klondike
fields inflames the hopes of the
unemployed and breadiess and
tempts them to make any sacri-
fice to woo the fickle goddess of
fortune.
Yes, there are tons, of gold in
Klondike region. But it shoulu
not be forgotten that there are
tons of gold annually produced in
California, Colorade, Montana,
Idaho, and in other States and
Territories of the Union, and the
fact is not disputed that trom the
time of the discovery of the gold
fields on the Pacific slope unti|
today, every .on of gold that bas
been prodvced has cost more than
its’vaine: and not only has itcost
more than its value, but there are
thousands and thousands of
unknown and nameless grayes of
those who gave their liyes to win
the tons of gold they dreamed of.
It seems to be a wise law of
nature that the production of
gold in any country since the
Christian civiization has cost
more than its yalue. Of course
there are a few who win fortune ;
there are others who are fairly
compensated ; but the untold
millions of capital invested in.
mining enterprises which are
entirely fruitless, added to the
actual cost of the production of
gcld where reasonablo profit or
fortune has been attained, make
the cost ofthe producing the
precious metal greatly outweigh
the profit, :
- With this history even in the
most favored civilization, what
must be the history of the many
thousands who crowd the Klon-
dike region? They are braving
the most inhospitabie climate of
the the Western worid, where
frost penetrates the earth to bed-
rock at all seasons of the year,
and where the necessaries of life
cannot be obtained except by
2,000 miles of uncertain water
route, or one-third the distance
by a yet more uncertain land
route.
Taking all the gold fields which
have tempted the people of any
section of the world durivg the
last century, there is no one that
promises so little and threatens
somuch as the Klondike region:
Not one ima thousand can win
tortune; some haye managed to
live for a period there and return
to their homes, but a large ma-
joritv of the people who go to the
Klondike gold fields this season
will never return unless their
bodies shall be brought back for
sepulchre.
Yes, there are tons of gold in
Alaska, and heie and there one
in a thousand or so may win for.
tune; but-the great mass of those
who are tempted by the stories of
tons of gold to be found in the
Klondike fields will be fortunste
if they ever get back to their
homes. even with utterly shatter-
ed health. Let none be tempted
by the display headlines in the
newspapers telling of tons of gold
in Alaska. There is gold here,
asitigsin many other States of
the Union, but all the gold fields
of the world, the most uninviting
for the adventurer is the Kion-
dike region.—Philadelphia Rec-
ord.

The case of aged Thomas L. Henry,
ot Pine Station, Pa., is puzzling the
ductors. Last Saturday Mr. Henry
apparently died, and notice to that ef-
fect was sent to the friends. Two hours
lat-r, however, life returned, and when
his relatives arrived the supposed
corpse smiled and aked them the time
of day. ;
But to'Get It Costs More’ Than Its
Novel Reading not Improving.
“Jt ig very easy for one) who
reads & great many amosing
bogke t@ ‘ake the whole matter
too seriously,” writes “Droch” in
the November Ladies’ Journal.
“Reading novels is neither ‘im-
proving your mind’ nor ‘being
literary.” No doubt froiw the best
fiction one may pick up a great
deal of valuable observation of
life which tends to general cul-
ture, and, moreover, there is
among them some of the. stuff
that is called fiterature. But
knowledge comes high, and the
price of it can seldom be paid in
coin of the imagination. ‘lhe
person ‘who takes fiction seriously
is apt tc teke life frivolously-’ If
we can only get out ot a book
something to put ua in a better
attitude towaru the various kinds
of people we meet we cannot
complain of its influence. A
novel, is not, and cannot be ex-
pected to be, a ‘great moral agent’;
morality is made of sterner stuff.
Bat it does have an insidious
influence on one’s ideals of man-
ners and conduct. The whole
tone of the man who writes it is
impressed on his work.”
%
The Same Result.
Ask any old man who has
realized his pet object in life ifhe
is satisfied, and he will probably
answer “no.” The man whose
dream was to accumulate wealth
is worried to death when he gets
it. He fears he will lose it or that
his famiiy will squander it.
The ambitious politician who
finally reaches the high office
which he has sought all his life
is made wretched by his foes and
false friends. Every man who
wants to be famous, powerful,
rich or successful in any way will
admit in his old age that the
game was not worth the candle.
What is fame—what is wealth ?
Since Adam there have been
millions of rich men and great
men, but only a few of their
names handea down. Their dust
now mingles with the common
clay or other mortals, and they
are forgotten. The poor toiler
who has serenly accepted his lot,
loving his God and his fellow
man, is far happier when his race
is run than the so-called great
ones of earth.

United Kingdom Aroused Over the
Deaths of Children Unattended
by Physicians—Parents Held for
Manslaughter.
(By Anglo-American Press.)
LONDON, Ocx. 14.—Town and county
authorities all over the United King-
dom are exercised over the doings of
the “Peculiar People,” a sect of faith
curists. Many scandals have arisen re-
cently over the deaths of children
whose parents, being members of this
denomination, dispensed with medical
attendance. Physicians in several in-
stances have sworn that the lives of
the children could have been saved by
proper treatment, whereupon the par-
ents of the little ones have invariably
been arrested for manslaughter,
At a recent coroner’s inquest at West
Ham the mother admitted that a doctor
had not been summoned to attend the
child, but said the elders of the church
were appealed to and that they sought
to cure the suffering infant by laying
on of hands. This same woman con-
fessed that she had lost five other chil-
dren, none of whom had been attended
by a physician.
Public feeling is growing against
these practices and a general demand
has been made for the discipline of the
sect by the medical authorities. The
general sentiment is that the faith cur-
ists may try mind healing on them-
selves, if they choose, but that they
must not be allowed to sacrifice the
lives of their innocent children.
WELSH HONOR IRVING,
“Sir Harry” Greeted with Wierd
“Penillion” in English Words.
At the enthusiastic Cymric entertain-
ment given at Cardiff on the recent oc-
casion of their first professional visit
to Wales, Sir Henry Irving and Miss
Ellen Terry heard probably for the first
time what ancient Welsh penillion sing-
ing was like. “Eos Dar” (“The Night-
ingale of the Dare’) delivered himself
of all the accumulated Welsh hwyl he
ever bore in rendering the following
pernillion or verses in English, to the
evident delight of the great actor and
the great actress:
Strike, strike the harps of dear old Wales
And let her vales be merry,
Rise, ancient bard, and hoary ’vate
In all your native glory,
To welcome with a cordial ring
Our charming Ellen Terry.
Hail, hail, great actor to the land of poesy and
story, ;
And though secluded aS We are,
’Tween mountains rare and dreary,
That the Welshman’s heart goes with his
hand,
You'll always find, Sir Harry.

Candles for Her Complexion,
(By Anglo-American Press.)
MANCHESTER, Eng., Oct. 4.—Alice
Weaver, a girl who had been in serv-
ice with Mrs. Underhill, in Sidbury,
Worcester, died on Tuesday under pe-
culiar circumstances. A constable
found her lying insensible in Vincent
