Everybody knows, or ought to know by this time, all about "the crime of 1873." Hut the crime of ls7ii. in which year the first hioy-cles were brought to this country, i- only just beginning to lie under-stood. Yet, if the figures present-ed by a New York contemporary concerning the havoc that has been wrought by the bicycles in various heretofore nourishing trades and industries are to he accepted as even approximately correct, it is time to look for the formation of a new political party fur the purpose of rescuing the country from the fearful ravages of what may be called the wheeling conspiracy. We gave ■ few days ago a gen-eral view of the disastrous effect! of the bicycle "craze," which has "demonetised" a large number of other things. Evidence is cumula-tive on the subject, but none the less interesting. According to the New York Journal the wheel is in a fair way to bankrupt everybody except those who arc engaged in manufacturing it by the million. It has made a canvass of the dif-ferent trades that have suffered by the appreciation of the bicycle and the depreciation of all other com-modities, and presents a table of their louses. Thereby it appears that the horse and livery business - suffered to the extent of 920,- IIIIII.I a year in the reduction of its receipts. The manager of the Windsor Livery Stables, one of Gotham's largest establishments in thai line, i" quoted as saying thai its business fell off fully Bfty per cent, last year, entirely, as he thinks, because of the bicycle. He ■lays that many New York livery-men have disposed of all but a few of their horses and put bicycles in their stalls instead; that saddle horses and carriages are a drug in the market, and that fully two-thirds Of the livery horses of the metropolis have been thrown upon the market at any price they would bring. The trade in pleasure vehicles and in harnesses and saddlery are -aid. on the authority of represent-ative linns in these two trades, to have Buffered an annual loss be-tween them of |25, ,000 more. A leading linn of New York tailors is quoted aa saving that the bicy-cle furor has diminished the tail-oring business by fully ^."i percent.. and$10,000,000a year is the figure at which the loss of the tailors of the country is set down. The tail-ors assert thai "the Sunday suit" has been dropped by thousands of wheelmen as a superfluity, because they go riding on Sunday in a ready-made bicycle suit, and no longer reel the need of "best elothee" The editor of the Jew-elers' Weekly declares that the jewelry and watch trade is depress ed to the extent of 910,( ,000 « year by the bicycle fever, and would sillier more but for the fact that the watch manufacturers have many of them gone into the busi-ness of making bicycles instead. Th.y have also found some com-pensation in the making of cyclo-meter! and bicycle watches. The piano-makers of the metropolis, ac cording to a representative house, believe that the bicycle is respon sible for a loss of at least if 1 :;..">niI, 1100 a year to their trade. .They believe that instead of buying pianos, either for cash or on the in stallnient plan, the people are now buying bicycles. The i-iganuiikcrs ami dealers come next in the list of complaints. They say that the de-lirium "f the wheel has decreased the sale of cigars by 20 per cent., causing a loss to the tra 1c of $",- 000,000 a year. The dry goods trade is spoken for in this chapter of lamentations by the managing editor of the Dry Good! Economist, who says that the ladies of the wheel are econo-are, for the most part, consumers of soft drinks only, and very few of them can smoke, or care to do it, while enjoying their spins. At Hrcnton's a decline of at least 25 per cent, in the sale of light read-ing is reported, and this, too, is charged to the bicycle. Moreover, the wheeling hosts have invaded the lobbies of the State Legisla-tures, and in some states, notably in New York, have developed suf-ficient "pull" to beat the hereto fore powerful railroad influence and secure the passage of laws com-pelling the roads to take bicycles as baggage free of charge. Five years ago only (10,000 bicy-cles were made and sold in this country. Colonel l'ope, of Boston, the maker of one of the leading wheels, says there were 550,000 bi-cycles sold in 1895, and that this year 825,000 more will pass into the hands of purchasers. At an average cost of $N0 each this means that $(>l>,000,000 will be spent for wheels in 1896, and it is estimated that * 15,000,000 more will he paid for wheeling incidentals, such as lamps, bells, cyclometers, cVe. To these sinus must be added a large expenditure for repairs, clothing and outing expenses. Altogether it is calculated that not less than $100,000,000 will he paid out by the wheeling fraternity for the gratification of their much loved pastime. Various trade papers are loud and emphatic in their com-plaining, but it does not appear what they can do about it, except to "wait till the clouds roll by" and people grow weary of their wheels. It will be seen at a glance that it will not do, in view of these start-ling statistics, to attribute all the woes of the country either to "the crime of l)S7:l" or tho lowering of the McKinlcy tariff. The demone-tization of the livery team anil the depreciation of the Sunday suit of our fathers cannot be fairly charg-ed up either to the gold bugs of Wall street or the foreign bond-holders. If tho liquor trade is de-pressed because of the preference of the cyclist for lemonade and ginger pop, not even the election of McKinley on the highest kind of protection platform will bring any relief. And if a brave and free people will insist upon neglecting pianos for the sako of making cen-tury runs it is not easy to see how I the free coinage of silver half dol-lars for dollarswill restore pianos to a parity with pedals. It is, on the whole, gratifying to find that at least 9100,000,000 worth a year of the existing business de-pression is being charged up to something else than the new tariff, the bond issues and the sad failure of Mr. Cleveland to annex Hawaii end Cuba. The Republican breth-ren, who congregated in St. Louis for the purpose of setting every-thing right and nominating "the advance agent of prosperity," should have given this little matter of the bicycle fever and its alleged ruinous results to so many leading trades their most earnest ronsider-ation. It is their duty to protect everybody and see that the goose hangs high, and we shall look to them for heroic measures for the defense of the various "home mar-kets" threatened by the devastating wheel.—Exchange. WHEN WERE YOU BORN1 The Seasons of the Year When the Stars Are Lucky and Unluckly. Kvery person may become a suc-cessful fortune teller. Take the month of birth as a basis, and by the aid of astrology the mysteries of the future may be revealed. Astrology explains why members of the same family are so diversifi-ed in character and disposition. The sun passes successively through each of the 12 signs of the Zodiac during a year. The sign the sun was in at the time of birth char-acterizes the person. Those born within a day of a fol-lowing sign partake somewhat of the nature of the bordering sign. A sign lasts about 30 days, but the change takes place about the 20th instead of the 30th of each month. Heie are the characteristics of persons born under the different signs of the Zodiac : Gemni; May 21 to June 21 in-clusive— These people belong to the realm of education, art and me-chanics. They are always restless, anxious and never satisfied. Many successful speakers and lecturers come from this sign. They are apt to lack continuity. They are liable to be inconstaiiltand are in danger of extremes in everything they do unless this is modified by planetary conditions. Liable to nervous dis-turbances and ought always to as-sociate with persons who are quiet, easy and restful. Jay Gould, born May 27, was a line example of the mental ability and restless aspira-tions of this sign. Cancer—June 22 to July 22, in-clusive— These persons embody the principles of the home and family. They are very kind, loving and sympathetic. Their love nature is their weakness. They make loving husbands and wives, fathers and mothers. As such their whole life is apt to be devoted to their chil-dren. I'ersons born in this time are exceedingly sensitive to the physicial and mental conditions of others. Their minds arc very me-chanical. They usually belong to the manufacturing and trading spheres of life. In some instances they incline to literature. They are very persistent, but it is diffi-cult for them to work under otheis. They want to be at the head in their own department of service. Henry Ward Iteeeher was a strik inp type of the power, earnestness and pathos of this sign. Leo—July 23 to August 21, In-clusive— Leo represents the heart, the love and the emotions. These persons possess a great variety ol inclinations, and are also greatly affected by the mental and physical conditions'of people to whom they stand related. They can readily adapt themselves to almost any condition of life. They arc natur-ally active and aspiring, energetic and subject to great extremis. Their love nature is their weakness. Easily misled by those professing friendship. Cannot he easily kept down. In selecting a husband or wife great care should be had. Virgo. August 22 to September 22. inclusive—Virgo people are US-Six Convicts Escape. ness schemes, and are natural heads of the business of life. They are proud, independent and high minded. They have a fine deep in-terior nature and have much of the prophetic in them. They frequent-ly have a broad elaborate brain, and being natural organizers, they adhere closely to the support of so-ciety as it is. They are not re-formers. Thomas C. 1'latt was born under the dominion of Capri-corn. Aquarian, January 20 to Febru-ary 18, inclusive—These persons belong mainly to the mercantile interests of life, and are remarka bly good judges of character. Their minds are very active in the direction of public good, and they are frequently found aa politicians. They are faithful to their duties in whatever sphere of service they are placed, being earnest and proficient therein. This sign gives a fine, de-voted love nature. Some ol the most faithful and devoted wives are born in this period. Pisces, February 19 to march 20, inclusive—These persons are usu-ally upright, honorable and just in their dealings. They are very anx-ious about money matters.and pro-vision for the future. We often find men of this sign who are walk-ing encyclopedias of knowledge. As a rule they succeed in life be-cause of a feeling that they have obstacles to overcome. Hence their persistency and fidelity to the trust confided to them. A wrong start in life is more serious to them than to most others, for once em-barked they are apt to stick for life. Therefore, in entering a call-ing consideration should he ha 1 as t> the chances of their promotion. President Cleveland, born March IS, is a splendid example of the persistency and conscientiousness of the I'isces people. Aries, March 21 to April 10, in-clusive— All those born between these dates belong to that portion of the grand body of humanity— the head. They are natural rea soners and thinkers ; their brain is especially active. They are dis-tinguished for reasoning, philoso-phy and educational pursuits. While not rejecting accepted standards of morals, they prefer their own conception of right and wrong. They prefer to do every-thing in their own way. Harmony is the dominant feature of their nature. They love order, elegance and beauty. They possess a deal of the electrical fire nature. Near-ly every disease that attacks them goes to the head. Taurus. April 20 to may 20, in-clusive— Those born between these dates are very unyielding and are natural cont|iierers. While they love literary pursuits and are often studious, they are imitators rather than originators of thought. They are governed by their sensations and their decisions are controlled by their feelings, appetites and passions. Are sensitve to psychic influences. While young are apt to bo misled by their associates. Ileing zealous and sanguine in every cause they become interested in, they are liable to extremes. A DAY WITH THE TEACHERS. AHHBBOBO, June 17.—Six con-victs engaged in grading the Ashe-boro ,v .Montgomery Railroad have made their escape this week. On Monday two white men and three negroes made their escape, but two of the negroes were captured Mon-day night. It happened in this way: Mr. Will Hamlin, who lives four miles north of Asheboro, saw two negroes wearing the stripes in a piece of woods near his house, lie took them an old file to loose the clasp from their legs with, and told them if they would wait till dark he would bring them some citizens' clothing and put them across the river. They agreed to wait, and -Mr. llamlin made haste to inform (apt. MeMurry, who has charge of the convicts, and they were surrounded and captured. Another negro made his escape this morning. He IIHB not been heard of yet. The Pythians Elect Officers. nally cool, calm and confident and usually excel in everything they undertake.

They are well adapted for the dramatic pro-fession, if not too diffident. When angry they proceed to great lengths. Being students rather than origina-tors, they frequently devote their lives to study and research for knowledge, examining every new thing that comes up. Scorpio, October 23 to November 21. inclusive—These persons have strong appetitiei and strong pas-sions, and when angry are very high tempered. They have besides a great deal of jealousy in their na-tures. They are specially disin-clined to work with their hands. They set too much value on exter-nal appearances.

Tho postmaster general notified Inspector In-Charge Sal-mon to investigate, and he did. He found that the postollice was in a grocery store. The postmaster was the storekeeper, and in ^ reply to the detective said: "Yes, I smoke and my son smokes. And let me tell you' something. Smok-ing iB a necessity with me and the postollice is not, so the sooner you take your office away the better I'll like it.'' The office paid about $5 a year, and nobody else would take it, so the postmaster was informed that lie might smoke all he wanted to so long as he did not blow it in people's faces.—Postal Becord. A Puzzle to Scientists. President Joyner's Tribute to the Private in the Ranks. AsiiEvii.i.E, June IS.—President Joyner, in his forcible annual ad-dress to the Teachers' Assembly, paid the following tribute to the humble, modest, unknown school teachers: "They have given their lives in building, and verily has a structure risen upon the stepping-stones of their dead selves to its present height and grandeur. It is the best type I know of the si-lent, potent work of hundreds and thousands of unheralded heroes and heroines that, far from sight of men and the din of the noisy world, are pouring their lives into the lives of Carolina's little chil-dren, literally lifting these on step-ping- stones of their dead selves. By and by men will see more clear ly the wall of protection they have been building about our beloved state, a magnificent wall of beating hearts and imperishable minds, that shall have power in it to hurl harmlessly asunder the fiercest storm driven billow of passion and prejudice and hate and ignorance. All honor to this noble band of faithful toilers. Let the future historian, would he b« truthful, in-scribe with burning pen of immor-tal lire upon the loftiest pinnacle of the educational monument that he erecte: 'to the memory of the high private in the educational ranks.'" The session today was extremely interesting and the college chapel was filled to overflowing. The committee, composed of C. I). Me- Iver, L L. Hobbs, S M. Finger, J. C. Scarborough, F. I*. Hobgood, C. K Butler, G. W. Connor, A.I. Con-nor and W. I.. 1'oteat, appointed to report resolutions hearing on school supervision and local taxation, submitted the following through Chairman Mclver: "1st, That it is the sense of the North Carolina Teachers' Assembly, that in order to secure successful public schools an efficient system of supervision is essential; 2d, That while we be-lieve an efficient system of county supervision, employing professional teachers as county superintendents for all their time, would be prefer-able, it appears that the county public school fund at present would not justify the necessary expense for the employment of such me*. We therefore recommend that the state be divided into educational divisions of from two to six conn ties each, and that a superinilent of each division he selected and paid for the salary I per cent, of the public school fund of each county, this being the amount al-lowed under the old law for super-vision by county superintendents; 3rd, That we believe our system of education would bo better managed by a special board of education for each county." The discussion following the res-olutions was lively and intelligent. Among those speaking were Messrs. White, David Blair, Thompson, Ferrcll, and Dr. Martin, of David son College. The resolutions were adopted and a motion unanimously adopted to appoint a committee of nine to work out the details of the matter and present it before the next Legislatnre. A sketch was given by Superin-tendent K. McK. Goodwin, of the North Carolina School for the Deaf at Morganton, followed by a most interesting talk by Mrs. L. A.

The patient grasps the handles, the dentist simultane-ously applies his forceps to the tooth. The instant the tooth is touched it, as well as the surround ing parts, becomes insensible to pain. A jerk and it is out. Forget your past circumstances, whether they he sorrows or joys. The one is not without remedy, the other not perfect. Both are past; why remember them?—Mae-laren.

Everybody knows, or ought to
know by this time, all about "the
crime of 1873." Hut the crime of
ls7ii. in which year the first hioy-cles
were brought to this country,
i- only just beginning to lie under-stood.
Yet, if the figures present-ed
by a New York contemporary
concerning the havoc that has been
wrought by the bicycles in various
heretofore nourishing trades and
industries are to he accepted as
even approximately correct, it is
time to look for the formation of a
new political party fur the purpose
of rescuing the country from the
fearful ravages of what may be
called the wheeling conspiracy.
We gave ■ few days ago a gen-eral
view of the disastrous effect!
of the bicycle "craze," which has
"demonetised" a large number of
other things. Evidence is cumula-tive
on the subject, but none the
less interesting. According to the
New York Journal the wheel is in
a fair way to bankrupt everybody
except those who arc engaged in
manufacturing it by the million.
It has made a canvass of the dif-ferent
trades that have suffered by
the appreciation of the bicycle and
the depreciation of all other com-modities,
and presents a table of
their louses. Thereby it appears
that the horse and livery business
- suffered to the extent of 920,-
IIIIII.I a year in the reduction of
its receipts. The manager of the
Windsor Livery Stables, one of
Gotham's largest establishments in
thai line, i" quoted as saying thai
its business fell off fully Bfty per
cent, last year, entirely, as he
thinks, because of the bicycle. He
■lays that many New York livery-men
have disposed of all but a few
of their horses and put bicycles in
their stalls instead; that saddle
horses and carriages are a drug in
the market, and that fully two-thirds
Of the livery horses of the
metropolis have been thrown upon
the market at any price they would
bring.
The trade in pleasure vehicles
and in harnesses and saddlery are
-aid. on the authority of represent-ative
linns in these two trades, to
have Buffered an annual loss be-tween
them of |25, ,000 more.
A leading linn of New York tailors
is quoted aa saving that the bicy-cle
furor has diminished the tail-oring
business by fully ^."i percent..
and$10,000,000a year is the figure
at which the loss of the tailors of
the country is set down. The tail-ors
assert thai "the Sunday suit"
has been dropped by thousands of
wheelmen as a superfluity, because
they go riding on Sunday in a
ready-made bicycle suit, and no
longer reel the need of "best
elothee" The editor of the Jew-elers'
Weekly declares that the
jewelry and watch trade is depress
ed to the extent of 910,( ,000 «
year by the bicycle fever, and
would sillier more but for the fact
that the watch manufacturers have
many of them gone into the busi-ness
of making bicycles instead.
Th.y have also found some com-pensation
in the making of cyclo-meter!
and bicycle watches. The
piano-makers of the metropolis, ac
cording to a representative house,
believe that the bicycle is respon
sible for a loss of at least if 1 :;..">niI,
1100 a year to their trade. .They
believe that instead of buying
pianos, either for cash or on the in
stallnient plan, the people are now
buying bicycles. The i-iganuiikcrs
ami dealers come next in the list of
complaints. They say that the de-lirium
"f the wheel has decreased
the sale of cigars by 20 per cent.,
causing a loss to the tra 1c of $",-
000,000 a year.
The dry goods trade is spoken
for in this chapter of lamentations
by the managing editor of the Dry
Good! Economist, who says that
the ladies of the wheel are econo-are,
for the most part, consumers
of soft drinks only, and very few
of them can smoke, or care to do
it, while enjoying their spins. At
Hrcnton's a decline of at least 25
per cent, in the sale of light read-ing
is reported, and this, too, is
charged to the bicycle. Moreover,
the wheeling hosts have invaded
the lobbies of the State Legisla-tures,
and in some states, notably
in New York, have developed suf-ficient
"pull" to beat the hereto
fore powerful railroad influence and
secure the passage of laws com-pelling
the roads to take bicycles
as baggage free of charge.
Five years ago only (10,000 bicy-cles
were made and sold in this
country. Colonel l'ope, of Boston,
the maker of one of the leading
wheels, says there were 550,000 bi-cycles
sold in 1895, and that this
year 825,000 more will pass into
the hands of purchasers. At an
average cost of $N0 each this means
that $(>l>,000,000 will be spent for
wheels in 1896, and it is estimated
that * 15,000,000 more will he paid
for wheeling incidentals, such as
lamps, bells, cyclometers, cVe. To
these sinus must be added a large
expenditure for repairs, clothing
and outing expenses. Altogether
it is calculated that not less than
$100,000,000 will he paid out by
the wheeling fraternity for the
gratification of their much loved
pastime. Various trade papers are
loud and emphatic in their com-plaining,
but it does not appear
what they can do about it, except
to "wait till the clouds roll by" and
people grow weary of their wheels.
It will be seen at a glance that it
will not do, in view of these start-ling
statistics, to attribute all the
woes of the country either to "the
crime of l)S7:l" or tho lowering of
the McKinlcy tariff. The demone-tization
of the livery team anil the
depreciation of the Sunday suit of
our fathers cannot be fairly charg-ed
up either to the gold bugs of
Wall street or the foreign bond-holders.
If tho liquor trade is de-pressed
because of the preference
of the cyclist for lemonade and
ginger pop, not even the election of
McKinley on the highest kind of
protection platform will bring any
relief. And if a brave and free
people will insist upon neglecting
pianos for the sako of making cen-tury
runs it is not easy to see how I
the free coinage of silver half dol-lars
for dollarswill restore pianos
to a parity with pedals.
It is, on the whole, gratifying to
find that at least 9100,000,000 worth
a year of the existing business de-pression
is being charged up to
something else than the new tariff,
the bond issues and the sad failure
of Mr. Cleveland to annex Hawaii
end Cuba. The Republican breth-ren,
who congregated in St. Louis
for the purpose of setting every-thing
right and nominating "the
advance agent of prosperity,"
should have given this little matter
of the bicycle fever and its alleged
ruinous results to so many leading
trades their most earnest ronsider-ation.
It is their duty to protect
everybody and see that the goose
hangs high, and we shall look to
them for heroic measures for the
defense of the various "home mar-kets"
threatened by the devastating
wheel.—Exchange.
WHEN WERE YOU BORN1
The Seasons of the Year When the
Stars Are Lucky and Unluckly.
Kvery person may become a suc-cessful
fortune teller. Take the
month of birth as a basis, and by
the aid of astrology the mysteries
of the future may be revealed.
Astrology explains why members
of the same family are so diversifi-ed
in character and disposition.
The sun passes successively through
each of the 12 signs of the Zodiac
during a year. The sign the sun
was in at the time of birth char-acterizes
the person.
Those born within a day of a fol-lowing
sign partake somewhat of
the nature of the bordering sign.
A sign lasts about 30 days, but the
change takes place about the 20th
instead of the 30th of each month.
Heie are the characteristics of
persons born under the different
signs of the Zodiac :
Gemni; May 21 to June 21 in-clusive—
These people belong to
the realm of education, art and me-chanics.
They are always restless,
anxious and never satisfied. Many
successful speakers and lecturers
come from this sign. They are apt
to lack continuity. They are liable
to be inconstaiiltand are in danger
of extremes in everything they do
unless this is modified by planetary
conditions. Liable to nervous dis-turbances
and ought always to as-sociate
with persons who are quiet,
easy and restful. Jay Gould, born
May 27, was a line example of the
mental ability and restless aspira-tions
of this sign.
Cancer—June 22 to July 22, in-clusive—
These persons embody the
principles of the home and family.
They are very kind, loving and
sympathetic. Their love nature is
their weakness. They make loving
husbands and wives, fathers and
mothers. As such their whole life
is apt to be devoted to their chil-dren.
I'ersons born in this time
are exceedingly sensitive to the
physicial and mental conditions of
others. Their minds arc very me-chanical.
They usually belong to
the manufacturing and trading
spheres of life. In some instances
they incline to literature. They
are very persistent, but it is diffi-cult
for them to work under otheis.
They want to be at the head in
their own department of service.
Henry Ward Iteeeher was a strik
inp type of the power, earnestness
and pathos of this sign.
Leo—July 23 to August 21, In-clusive—
Leo represents the heart,
the love and the emotions. These
persons possess a great variety ol
inclinations, and are also greatly
affected by the mental and physical
conditions'of people to whom they
stand related. They can readily
adapt themselves to almost any
condition of life. They arc natur-ally
active and aspiring, energetic
and subject to great extremis.
Their love nature is their weakness.
Easily misled by those professing
friendship. Cannot he easily kept
down. In selecting a husband or
wife great care should be had.

22. inclusive—Virgo people are US-Six

ness schemes, and are natural
heads of the business of life. They
are proud, independent and high
minded. They have a fine deep in-terior
nature and have much of the
prophetic in them. They frequent-ly
have a broad elaborate brain,
and being natural organizers, they
adhere closely to the support of so-ciety
as it is. They are not re-formers.
Thomas C. 1'latt was
born under the dominion of Capri-corn.
Aquarian, January 20 to Febru-ary
18, inclusive—These persons
belong mainly to the mercantile
interests of life, and are remarka
bly good judges of character.
Their minds are very active in the
direction of public good, and they
are frequently found aa politicians.
They are faithful to their duties in
whatever sphere of service they are
placed, being earnest and proficient
therein. This sign gives a fine, de-voted
love nature. Some ol the
most faithful and devoted wives
are born in this period.
Pisces, February 19 to march 20,
inclusive—These persons are usu-ally
upright, honorable and just in
their dealings. They are very anx-ious
about money matters.and pro-vision
for the future. We often
find men of this sign who are walk-ing
encyclopedias of knowledge.
As a rule they succeed in life be-cause
of a feeling that they have
obstacles to overcome. Hence
their persistency and fidelity to the
trust confided to them. A wrong
start in life is more serious to them
than to most others, for once em-barked
they are apt to stick for
life. Therefore, in entering a call-ing
consideration should he ha 1 as
t> the chances of their promotion.
President Cleveland, born March
IS, is a splendid example of the
persistency and conscientiousness
of the I'isces people.
Aries, March 21 to April 10, in-clusive—
All those born between
these dates belong to that portion
of the grand body of humanity—
the head. They are natural rea
soners and thinkers ; their brain is
especially active. They are dis-tinguished
for reasoning, philoso-phy
and educational pursuits.
While not rejecting accepted
standards of morals, they prefer
their own conception of right and
wrong. They prefer to do every-thing
in their own way. Harmony
is the dominant feature of their
nature. They love order, elegance
and beauty. They possess a deal
of the electrical fire nature. Near-ly
every disease that attacks them
goes to the head.
Taurus. April 20 to may 20, in-clusive—
Those born between these
dates are very unyielding and are
natural cont|iierers. While they
love literary pursuits and are often
studious, they are imitators rather
than originators of thought. They
are governed by their sensations
and their decisions are controlled
by their feelings, appetites and
passions. Are sensitve to psychic
influences. While young are apt
to bo misled by their associates.
Ileing zealous and sanguine in
every cause they become interested
in, they are liable to extremes.
A DAY WITH THE TEACHERS.
AHHBBOBO, June 17.—Six con-victs
engaged in grading the Ashe-boro
,v .Montgomery Railroad have
made their escape this week. On
Monday two white men and three
negroes made their escape, but two
of the negroes were captured Mon-day
night. It happened in this
way: Mr. Will Hamlin, who lives
four miles north of Asheboro, saw
two negroes wearing the stripes in
a piece of woods near his house,
lie took them an old file to loose
the clasp from their legs with, and
told them if they would wait till
dark he would bring them some
citizens' clothing and put them
across the river. They agreed to
wait, and -Mr. llamlin made haste
to inform (apt. MeMurry, who has
charge of the convicts, and they
were surrounded and captured.
Another negro made his escape this
morning. He IIHB not been heard

of the laws of health and have
great aptitude in the acquisition of
an education. Wherever a keen
and discriminating eye is needed
they excel. Are great lovers of
music and harmonious combina-tion.
Have extremely strong love
nature, but because of their domi-nant
will are disposed to control.
They arc natural chemists. They
possess physical prowess. Senator
Hill was born August 29. The
pugilist, Corliett, was also born
during this period.

in their foresight. They are very
positive in everything they do,

matters they undertake. They are
well adapted for the dramatic pro-fession,
if not too diffident. When
angry they proceed to great lengths.
Being students rather than origina-tors,
they frequently devote their
lives to study and research for
knowledge, examining every new
thing that comes up.
Scorpio, October 23 to November
21. inclusive—These persons have
strong appetitiei and strong pas-sions,
and when angry are very
high tempered. They have besides
a great deal of jealousy in their na-tures.
They are specially disin-clined
to work with their hands.
They set too much value on exter-nal
appearances. In everything
they are inclined to think of self
first. Generally their friendship is
not to be relied'on. As a rule this
nature is cold, unfeeling and ex-acting.
As husbands and wives
they expect to rule.
Sagittarius, November 22 to De-cember
21, inclusive—Sagittarius
people are fearless and determined.
They are apt to be too quick to de-cide,
act and speak. They are often
mistaken through the activity of
their minds and are apt to get the
name of fabricating when such is
not their intention. They are apt
to express the first thing that comes
into their minds no matter what
the consequences arc. Tbey are
physically the strongest persons of
the whole twelve signs. They have
a vein of humor. General luster
and Mark Twain were born during
this period.

postmaster general that there was
smoking in tho postolfice at ,

Tho postmaster general
notified Inspector In-Charge Sal-mon
to investigate, and he did. He
found that the postollice was in
a grocery store. The postmaster
was the storekeeper, and in ^ reply
to the detective said: "Yes, I
smoke and my son smokes. And
let me tell you' something. Smok-ing

postollice is not, so the sooner you
take your office away the better I'll
like it.'' The office paid about $5
a year, and nobody else would take
it, so the postmaster was informed
that lie might smoke all he wanted
to so long as he did not blow it in
people's faces.—Postal Becord.

President Joyner's Tribute to the
Private in the Ranks.
AsiiEvii.i.E, June IS.—President
Joyner, in his forcible annual ad-dress
to the Teachers' Assembly,
paid the following tribute to the
humble, modest, unknown school
teachers: "They have given their
lives in building, and verily has a
structure risen upon the stepping-stones
of their dead selves to its
present height and grandeur. It
is the best type I know of the si-lent,
potent work of hundreds and
thousands of unheralded heroes
and heroines that, far from sight
of men and the din of the noisy
world, are pouring their lives into
the lives of Carolina's little chil-dren,
literally lifting these on step-ping-
stones of their dead selves.
By and by men will see more clear
ly the wall of protection they have
been building about our beloved
state, a magnificent wall of beating
hearts and imperishable minds,
that shall have power in it to hurl
harmlessly asunder the fiercest
storm driven billow of passion and
prejudice and hate and ignorance.
All honor to this noble band of
faithful toilers. Let the future
historian, would he b« truthful, in-scribe
with burning pen of immor-tal
lire upon the loftiest pinnacle
of the educational monument that
he erecte: 'to the memory of the
high private in the educational
ranks.'"
The session today was extremely
interesting and the college chapel
was filled to overflowing. The
committee, composed of C. I). Me-
Iver, L L. Hobbs, S M. Finger, J.
C. Scarborough, F. I*. Hobgood, C.
K Butler, G. W. Connor, A.I. Con-nor
and W. I.. 1'oteat, appointed to
report resolutions hearing on school
supervision and local taxation,
submitted the following through
Chairman Mclver: "1st, That it is
the sense of the North Carolina
Teachers' Assembly, that in order
to secure successful public schools
an efficient system of supervision
is essential; 2d, That while we be-lieve
an efficient system of county
supervision, employing professional
teachers as county superintendents
for all their time, would be prefer-able,
it appears that the county
public school fund at present would
not justify the necessary expense
for the employment of such me*.
We therefore recommend that the
state be divided into educational
divisions of from two to six conn
ties each, and that a superinilent
of each division he selected and
paid for the salary I per cent, of
the public school fund of each
county, this being the amount al-lowed
under the old law for super-vision
by county superintendents;
