Editor Hornet:—Beg pardon, I !mean the pantless pen puaher of TJie Davie !Record. Dear Sir:—I am s^rry that yon |had so much trouble in getting my j other letter sobered up enough to !allow it to stalk through your print !shop. But really I couldn’t help Ithe darn thing getting on a jag, |for like many other Georgians’, it being somewhat patriotic could not Iceep from taking a “ pull,” as it passed through Atlanta. Helping so drain the State, don’t you know. Tea, sir, these patriotic^ Georgians oak the "Iikkerj like water soak ing into the sands of the 'Sahara. And pretty soon Georgia will be as iry as the- Mohave desert. W^ile I think about it, let Ae tell yon about something that hap pened the other day. A spotted eyed hound dog Irom somewhere in the neighborhood, after making a reconnbisance of our poultry yard stopped for a short coriTab with the English setter. The talk soon !drifted to things that seemed very strange and unreasonable to them'.. During tLe discussion the 'hound remarked that “the strangest thing and the one that troubles me most is the deplorable depravity of some men.” He stated that “of all created beings—dogs included— none are so debased as men, and some of them are so infernal low down ss to be dishonest. Some thing that is in itself a whole cata logue of cussedness.” Then he soughed an egg shell from his iihroat and said: “PardLer, it hain’t no use for us to' bother a- bodt it, for we aint responsible, as we have always by precept and example set ’em a good pattern, so I’m not gwine to be pesterkated about it.” Then he raised Mb tail to an angle that pointed out the time as being one hour after Bun- rise, and said, “So long, pardner, Merry Xmas/’ and trotted side ways down the road. Thereisagosh dinged heap of fuuny things happens down here. But T haven’t got time to tell you everything now. Possibly I will do so Bome time.* But if I did, you might not believe it. though mister, I’m not asking any one. to believe facts that are evident to all. Good luck to you and success to The Hornet, I mean TheBecord. ’O. R owe.

A well-known authority on Rheu matism gives the readers of a large New1York daily paper the following valuable, yet- simple and harmless prescription, which any one can eas ily prepare at home: j , , Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce Gompound Syrup SarsaparillajJhree ounces. Mixbyshsffing well in a bottle, and take a- teaspoonful ^fter each meal and at bedtime: . He states that the ingredients can be obtained from any good prescrip tion phaftnacy at small cost, asd, be- «ing of vegetable extraction, are harmless to take. ■ This pleasant mixture, if _ taken regularly for a few days, i^ said to ihrercome alfflost any case of Bheu matism... The pain and swelling, if ahy.fdiminishes with each dose> un til permanent results, are obtained, and withont injuring ^he stomach. While there are many so-called Rheu matism remedies, patent medicines, etc., some of which do give relief, few really give permanent results, and the above will, no dpubt, -be greatly appreciated by many suffer ers here at this time. Inquiry at Ihe drug stores of this neighborhood elicits the information that these drugs are harmless and can be bought separately, or the druggists here will mix the prescrip tion for our readers if asked to.

Since the 8 th day of July 18, 797 whiskey prescriptions have been filled by the Charlotte drug stores. Putting the average charge of the doctors for writing the pro scription at 40 centy each, this will show tnat the abolition of the bar rooms has added to their income during a period of less than six months just $7,518.60. or a yearly average, $15,037.60. Placing the amount purchased on each pre scription at 80 cents this will show that the drug stores have done a whisky business in -the same length of time of $15,037.00, or an annual trade of $30,075.20. Combining these amounts paid to the doctors and the drugi stores, it will show that $45,112.80 is spent annually for whisky in the drug stores alone. These fiures will shot that it pays to keep a drug store and be a doc tor in Charlotte.—News. The above is only a sample of the stuff we use. The whiskey re ceived here by orders from other states and what was brought here from Salisbury by legal purchase, and what was hauled by blind ti gers wonld amount to three gallons for every one the docters scripted, —People’s Paper. MocktviUe Pott Office Receipt*, etc. For the year 1906 the receipts for the Mocksville post office a- mounted to $2,874 93 and for 1907, $3,123.40, showing a gain of $248. 47 for year 1907 over 1906. This shows a healthy growth and that 1907 has been a good business year. December, 1907, receipts exceeded December, 1906, $69.39, and the Postmaster General informs us that the receipts for December were the largest in the history of the office. These figures don’t indicate much of a panic in Davie county. Average Wages in North Carolina. The Bummary of the chapter of the 1907 report of the commissioner of labor and printing devoted to the condition of the trades shows average wages for various trades to be as follows: Barbers, $2.15; blacksmiths, $2.00; brick-masons, $2.40; cabinet makers, $2.25; car penters, $2.01; clerks, $1.75; har ness makers, $1 .25; lumbermen, $1.30; mechanics, $3.20; painters, $2.40; plasterers, $4.50; printers, $2.43; textile workers, $1.27; to bacco rollers, $1.50; wheelwrights, $1.98. Beports from a great majority of the counties show some increase in wages for the past year. Beports show that forth-five per cent, of the tradesmen favor the ten-hour day and forty per cent, the eight- hour day. General improvement in education is shown. A Texas exchange prints an ar ticle headed, “When Men Stay A- from Church.” If it means to pub Iish a list of their excuses, it will have to print a serial story. The Eecord is very well pleased with the business of the office dur ing the past four months, and to each and every person who has rendered financial aid we extend our sincere thanks. : If there is any truth in the Hous ton Post’s raving about the great number of widows in Texas, it is evident that a man takes bis lifein his hands when he gets married in that State.—Exchange. ' Says the Arkansas Gazette: “Tfce best that each one of the Bepubli- can candidates for President could hope for would be to be as sure of the nomination as Mr. Bryan is of the Democratic nomination.’’ Pos sibly; and the worst they could look forward to is a finish like that Mr. Bryan will make. ' “Blessed are the'men to whom Christma&fisii’t a bother,” says the Toledo Blade. Tee, thrice blessed. And thecemeteries are full of them. CREDIT TO WHOM CREDIT IS DUE. The Statesville Landmark is gen erally fair, but in a recent issue it gives Mr. H. B. Varner, of Lex ington, credit for the suspension, until Apr. 1st, of the recent order of the Postmaster General with re ference to newspaper postage. Now as a fact, Mr. Varner had nothing to do with it, for the postmaster at this place showed us the order he received before Mr. Varner reach ed Washington, and it authorized Postmasters not to put it into ef fect until Apr. 1st, 1908, Mr. Varner may be a big man, but this is one of the stunts he never per formed, and the Landmark should not attempt to give him credit for something he never did.

With the proclamation Governor Glenn issued a letter to the people of the State, in which he sets out the specific act to be presented to the Legislature, saying that the terms offered by him to the rail roads have been accepted by all but one and this road (the Atlan tic Coast Line) accepts all theterms except an arrangement for an intra- State rate, saying it has no power to do this, the Gpyernor adding “butf doubtleBscircumstahoa will regulate this rate as requested.” - He states that the Legislature will be asked to increase the 21 cent rate to 21 cents, with a charge of 15 cents extra for passengers who fail to buy tickets and to repeal the present law and the penalties., If this is done the railroads agree to the flat 21 cent intra-State rate, and also to issue 2,000 mile books, intra-State, interchangeable with solvent roads, good for heads of firms and employees not exceeding 5 at 2 cents a mile. - One thousand mile books intra- State limited, to one person ait 2 cents a mile.

Wedislikeverymuch to be con tinually after our subscribers, but after April 1st, we will not be al lowed to send our paper to any one who is as much as one year behind on subscription. If you do not set tle up we will have to cut your" name off our books, Wecannotafford to lose .what you are owing us, whetb . er you renew or not, and we shall collect the accounts due us, for they are honest. We are having a large number of bills sent out. If you re ceive one, do not get mad and cuss us out and stop the paper, but send the cash in like the honest man you aie. Whenamanbringsor sends in a bill against us, we don’t get mad and curse him and refuse to pay it. We don’t think we have but •• a few such people on our books, and we are sorry there are any. This , laterulihgis not of our making. The Postmaster General is the man behind the gun. But we believe it is a good ruling, not only for the papers, but for the subscribers as , well.. Will you help us to carry it . into effect, or must we drop your name? We await your answer. DEMOCRAT PAPER TELLS TRUTH. • Brother/Williams of - the Newton Enterprise, in a long editorial set- ing forth his reasons for endorsing Locke Craig for Governor, says a- mong other things: V Halfadozenor more states men have their stockings up for Governorship. All of them, ex- ■ cept Mr. Craig are office-hold ers of long standing and have had their heads Birough the crib-doors so long that they cannot bear the idea of turning loose one job unless they can get a hand-hoid on another. And in the face of ail. these facts, which were copied from a Demo cratic paper, the Democrats will howl themselves hoarse trying to ex plain to the dear people that it is the Republicans who are pie eaters and office seekers, and that a Demo crat has to be run down and forced to take an office,' Inconsistency, in deed thou art a jewel. We would not be surprised if the News and Disturber should read Editor Wil liams out of the Democratic party for telling the truth on some of the Democraticpie eaters. ANOTHER MISGUIDED PILGRIM. The editor of the Lenoir Topic, in his last week’s issue, tears his hair and howls: • If the panic of 1893 during Democratic administration eaus- ed a great many of our people to leave the Democratic ranks why shouldn’t the present panic m a Republican administration- cause them to come home? Brother Moore, that is easy. The Dems are being fed too well by the Republicans to ever want to go home. Theyhavenothad a good appetite for soup since G. Cleveland got bumped out of the White House , A panic has not struck this corn ltry ■ince Grover’s exit, and the editor of the Topic knows it, for w e give him credit for being an inte lligent man. None but the ignorani; claim that this country is grappling with a panic. But the funny part about ast week s Topic was t>iat one of Bie Topics eorrespon^ents had the following article in that panic sheet; w i S ^ ^ the Topic. here at ln the swim uP of ttie nf -don* We never heard nanera >nic except through the IS®8® . -.Rightin the midst of panic the First National j, uk bought fifty-six thousand .ollars worth of Panama bonds, and had fifty thousand dollars returned in gold and treasury nqljes. TBp editor of the Topic should Pblf have printed both of the: above art tides in the same issue of his paper. QiI and water will not mix,, and we judge from the above article that Elditor Moore is having some trouble in- convincing his own brethren that the American people are starving to death. If ignorance were ‘bliss, it would be folly to be blistered. AU Communications of NEWS With writer’* name attached will be gladly accepted. * Bixby Items. Elder W. M.

By the way, I want to inform you that TJncle Alex is the hon ored personage that made his boast that he would walk to Smith Grovb which is about 5 miles, on his head to vote for Grover Cleveland, and he is not fond of soup, either, but thinks it is good for the other fel low, for then’he conld hire men at 40 or 50 cents a day and pay them in meat, flour or corn at* about 25 per cent, above the market price, but now he cannot get them for less than a dollar a day, and they will accept nothing but cash, A Su b s o e ib e r..

The booming gups were heard on every side, From early mom till evening passed away Thefrightened coveysscattered far and wide. No spot on earth could hide him from his foes, For keen of scent the eager pointer came, And flushed him from the ground, and as he rose He fell before the hunter's deadly aim. But when the day ,was done and all was still, And twilight’s purple shades began ■ to fall, ; ' From off the summit of yon leafy ' hill -7 lV- I heard the echo of a lonely call. 11 It called into the night, but all in ‘ vain; Fornonebfall his feathered mates were there 11I To send the call responsive back, again, And come to meet him through the chill night air. They say this wanton slaughter is: not.sin-- ... ; > , J That birds and beasts were made for man’s delight, v w But oh; there is. such lonely sadness in The plaintive calling of the last Bob White. The above article appeared recent ly in a Texas paper, and we were impressed with the sad and pathetic little poem. While it is true that nine-tenths of our subscribers think, it is all rightand fine sport'to ■ kill Ihe birds, yet we think it is wrong. If man will not speak for those who cannot speak ,,for themselves,, who else can. God created ,the birds and even a sparrow does not fall to ihe ground without His knowledge. It may not be a sin to kill the poor Bob Whites,' but it seems to us that their lives are as dear and Sweet to them as oiir lives are to us. God did not create them for the purpose of making sport for the hunter and the dog. The quail does no harm to the human race—and why should man, the highest being ever created, by God, wantonly take, ,the life of. ese little creatures, whose sole de light is to make merry and . glad den the hearts of the farmers by pro claiming to them the time of har vest, and to enjoy the freedom and sunshine of the fields and woods. It may be all right to shoot them, but to us it Will always appear wrong, What has become of our Court ney, Cooleemee, County Line and Rowan correspondents? We do not think it possible that they are all dead. It may be that some of them are married, or want to be, but that should not keep them from sending us the news. Now, we hope to hear from each one of these lively correspondent before, the next issue of our paper.: We wish to thank all those who have so faithfully sent us the news since. \ve assumed the management of.

Mrs. Sarah C. Baity, of Coolee- mee, was bom Nov. 22, 1841, and died Jan. 3,1908. She had passed the sixty-sixth mile post on life’s journey. She had been in failing health for several years, but not un til last August did she completely give way to her afflictions. From then until her death she was a very patient sufferer, and fell asleep with out much complaining. Mrs. Baity was the mother of eleven children, eight of whom survive her to mourn their loss: Mrs. W. C. Jones and Mrs. W. A. Hendrix, of this county, Mrs. A. F. Cocke, of Randolph coun ty, Mrs. W. W. Goley, of Dallas, Tex., Mr. J. F. C. Baity, of Greens boro, and Misses Katie, Ida and Ar- lenia Baity, of Cooleemee. Before marriage, Mrs. Baity was a Sossa- man, and was born and partially reared in a few hundred yards of where she died. This was long be fore Emy one ever thought of Such a thing as a big cotton mill standing here by what was then called the shoals. Mrs. Bsuty had been a mem ber of the Methodist church in ear lier life, but at her death held no church relation, but gave great reas ons to. believe that she had faith in God Eind hope of heaven.

Au Observer reporter attended a session of the “Ananias Club,” at the police headquarters in Char lotte the other day aud took notes on some of the nature-fakirs among the policemen. The row started about a wyandotte rooster that treed squirrels. One man said-that sounded strange to him. Another hooted at it's being strange, and told about what “old Beck,” a mule did. “She set a covey of birds, that’s what she did,” he said, “and I can prove it. It was this way: We had been netting birds for several years on Eeck and sue was the best thing you ever saw. I would ride along-the hedge rows, hunting for the birds and when I found them, touch the ryius and X'eck would wheel a- roni'd &!!<! go away until I could get the trap set. Well, sir, one wet morning I was riding along and old Beck threw her ears for ward, squatted and stopped stock still. For some time I had no idea wbat she was about, but soon I saw a covey of birds huddled to gether in a brier patch. After that Beck found more birds than I did. Bhe could smell them like a setter.” “That’s nothing to what Lize, one of iiiy Uncle Tom’s mules did,” said another policeman, “She treed a ’possum. You may not believe wbat I tell you, but it is true. Uncle Tomrhad a small mule, about the size of a donkey, and they were the best of friends. 1Wherever you saw the one you were more than apt to see the oth er. Lize was her name. This was in the fall—some time in October, I think, and TJncle Tom was on his 'way home from town when 'Lize threw her nose down and dropped on bended knees. Uncle gave her the reins for he knew she had sense enough to take care of herself. Well, sir, just as sure as I am living that mule went into the woods and treed the biggest grey ’possum ever caught in that part of Goose Creek township. Shetrailedlike a dog until she got to the tree and then looked up, and there sat the ’pos sum on the first limb.” Thereupon another copper put in. fiUp in Lincoln o.ounty, where I was born, an interesting thing oscurred. Jim Snider, a Dutch man, who was brought up in that section left early in life and went west, but after spending some time in Tennessee he came back to his old borne and settled down for the remainder of his life. Snider was a good fellow in many ways. He loved all sorts of pets and we boys used k> go to his home to see queer beasts. Well, when he ca/roe back from the West he brought with him a pet cat fish.” “A pet cat fish?” “Yea. a pet cat fish.’r “Why, where did he keep .him?” f Ls a -UJke tub of water I Mick of the imtee.

It was the most peculiar thf sng that ever happened in my count y. “You know, Snider Iiv^ .,j’ on a creek that empties into the Cataw ba river. He and the fish were crossing the cr^ek on a log one day and the fish fell off and was drown ed before Snider could rescuehim.” —Charlotte Observer. FATE ACCELERATE.

JANUARY 23, 1 9 0 8 .No. 2 9 The State East and West. Some odd conditions Ixist In North Carolino. For instance, the eastern part, which has a heavy negro population , is solidly Demo cratic. The larger the negro pop illation of a county, the larger its Democratic majority. The western part, where there-is no negro pop ulation at all to speak of, is where Eepublicaiiism flourishes.. In some of the western counties, notably Mitchell and Watauga, no negro is allowed to locate. He has thepriv ilege of the public roads, but he must move on—he must not Btop. These counties are settled by the most uncompromising Republicans ever born. Another thing—there is no le galized liquor traffic in the wes tern counties and less moonshining than in the eastern cennties. It would be supposed that the moun tain coves and the traditional “mountain fastnesses” would afford the ideal condition for moonshining, and they do, but the illicit.liquor business has been very nearly weed ed out. It droops there while it flourishes in the east. The nearest saloons to the west are in Salisbury, Wiuston and Reidsville. These towns are classed as western, but properly speaking, they are central, being very nearly on a line divid ing the east from the west. With these three exceptions, the saloon in this State is Unknown outside ol the east, and the dispensaries are also confined to that section. For a long .time the west bore the unfair and Democratic burden of county government for the east, and the east has never said, “than kee.” Its politicians try to rule the state and in a measure they do rule it. The east always>has its candidates first in the field and its convention. manipulators are the smartest in tlieland, though their hold to a certain extent was broken when Raleigh was abandoned as the convention town. The east is great on growing truck, but its greatest produce is the politician. He will grow with whatever sort of wind may blow, and he flourishes In either a droughty Community or a wet one. He is already matured and ready for the political market of the season of 1908.—Charlotte Chronicle. - - Number of Victims Is 167.—Fire .Raged All Night.—Railroad Comesito the Res cue with Two Carloads of Laborers. ' Boyertown, Pa., Jan. 14,—When Tiightfallpnt a stop to the work of recovering the dead from the rains of the Rhoades opera house,.where last night’s holocaust occurred, the official' roll of victims numbered 167. Whether any more bodies were buried beneath the ruins can not be-positively stated, but it is believed that the total list ofvic - tims_will not go above 170. The ratio of women aud^girls to men and boys is about 9 to I. -The work of identification will Lot be begun until .to-morrow, as most of the bodies are still lying in a con fused state at the four improvised morgues. The inhabitants of the little bor ough in the Berks county hills are to.night steeped in grief. Iamity has paralyzed the little town of 2,500 people. ^sThe inhabitants scarcely realized what has happen ed. Everybody in the place lost one or more of their relatives, or was—intimately acquainted with those who died in the fire. In §gv eral cases whole families have been wiped out. Hidden Treasure at High Point. A tin-can full of gold and silver, supposed to have been buried dur- iug ihe Civil war, was unearthed here Jan. 13th, by "a negro barber by the name of George Rouss. While walking down the railroad track in front of the Globe Home furniture factory his coat was caught by an iron rod driven down in the ground. This excited his curiosity and upon exanihing the stick and pulling at it the dirt caved in around it, exposing to view a tin can. which proved to be filled with gold and silver to the a- mount of over three hundred dol lars. The tin-can was so rusty that a good portion of it had rotted away. Whether it was hidden during the war or later by thieves, it is not probable that any one will claim it, and the negro is overjoyed at his find, It is knotrri for a certainity that big sums of money were hid during the Civil war, and at differ ent times people from other states have come here to look it up, but to no avail. Twelve wagon-loads of copper were hauled from the de-< pot hpre in the earlymorning hours of February, 1864, and buried three hundred north of the de pot. Some time ago two gentle men who helped bury the copper were here, but could not locate it. It is worth at least ten lhouaand dollars to-day if it could be found. —High Point Dispatch. The C. M.

CALAMITY HAS PARALYZED TOWN **** * * * * % . 4■m & %r * !• It w® be toi jSmr interest to see the enormous stock 6f furniture carried ^ Heroism of the Farmers. - Have you stopped to think what would have happened to the South and to the country at large, had the farmers lost couragewheii the banks did! Suppose every old hayseed had turned pale under the gills, when the panic struck us, and had rush ed his cotton to market—what would have been the consequeneef Prices would !have slumped to eight cents. Possibly to six. Who knows? Nothingin the world has kept up the price of the staple excepting the resolute determination of the farmers to hold. Every man who did sell got the benefit of the heroism of those who would not sell. Had cotton gone down to six or eight cents, the hav oc would have been immense. Tens of thousands would have been ruined. I glory in the spunk of the farm ers! They deserve the thanks of the whole country. Let those silk hat rascals of Few York who brought on the panic, squeal for cotton 'and talk about the “repre hensible conduct” of th&farmers in not sending their cotton to Eu rope after gold. Let those, wol ves -of ■ Wall street howl. Most of them deserve a gib bet. ~_ Do yoa hold on to that cotton. Things will be coming your way, pretty soon. — Watson’s Jefferso nian. A Floating Island. Among the many wonderful things that the great west can boast of, is a floating island firm-enough to build a house on. It is in Hen ry’s lake, Idaho, a picturesque bo dy bf water in Targee’s Pass, on the Rocky mountains. The lake' has an area of about forty square miles, and is surroun ded by snow-capped peaks, some of them the highest in the Rocky mountains range. The island is a- bout three hundred feet in diameter, and has a_ base of matted roots so deb&e and firm that it supports hea vy growing trees and a great deal of underbash. Over the roots is a lay er of soil several feet in thickness. Some parts of the island are firm enough to build a bouse on, and ev ery ■ part of it is strong enough to support a horse.-r^Bxchanee, * by THE BIG FURNITURE STORE.

Mr. Editor:—I will give you and The ca-f the public a faint hint of some of the pleasures of a rual cartier, or, in fact a little description of some of the roads. First, the gullies above Will Howard's. There we are thrown from one side of the buggy to the other till we are sore. Next, is cUmbing up over the rock pile in front of Preacher White’s door. Oldi Bob is sometimes on his feet -and sometimes on his knees. JThen comes the big mud hole in front of John Wellborn’s door. We just shut our eyes and trust to Bob to carry us over. - In going down over the rock pile in front of John Wells’ our breakfast. is always settled, down. When we hit th6 Honeyv cutt hill, we have to climb over a rock as big as a mill hopper and tnen-into:£ Jiole as big as the rock Here we cross the mountain to M. Redding’s. How we get there we hardly know, but we get there j ust the same. It is then up hill and -down, ' under and over till we strike the mountain at As- bery Somers*. Wlien .we go down by Ham Saners to S. A. Mitchell’s our buggy has a severe chill. Let •me tell you we used to have rheu matic pains, bdt traveling'this road has shaken all the rheumatics out of our bones. Going up the hill by G. F, Gregory’s it is again over stumps, rocks and gullies. Every few feet our buggy axle rests on the ground while the wheels Iack from three to six feet of touching the bottom. There was a big log in the ford near Dave Mathis’ till Providence sent a big rain and placed it across the branch for a foot-log. Fi,om Dicy Mayberry’s, Dick Goforth’s on *o C. F. Hedder- son’s we dance a continuous jig all over ; the buggy; here Bobjumps over a moui tain which the road bauds have made across the road. The single tree usually breaks aiul we re left on theotder side. Thence via L. W. Lonsford’s to Billie May berry’s we get another severe shak iug up. At Dr. Somecrs1 we areal most sure to see the flag up and when his box is opened it looks like the inside of a first-class ,drug store J. Robertson, the invalid, always has to have a fire m ade, water brought and enough wood cut and put in the dry to last until ,tomor row. ! We then have to cross Piney mountain to Dry Branch. Old Bob. has never been, able to tellmehow he gets through the pipe d ay at Preacher Myer‘s. Near Van Jen nings’ is a cut so deep and narrow that when two horse back riders meet, One' must always bacfcout a hundred yards. Iwillnotatfempt to~explain how w agons pass when they- meet there, but^will leave jliat for some- one ' else .to.-figure, ont. Bat Ohy the pleasures of a E.

Judging from the nmtterings we I -t sonie are trying to put it on hear, the interviews in.the newspa- legislature and the -legislature pers, the circular letteis flying ev- £g afraj^ take hold of it for fear ery where calling upon folks to go 0 f g ^ ju jjjg its so-called spotless to Raleigh or to write their Repre- coiorg This was one of their hob sentativea to do this or to do_ that, Jl0rse8j anjfnow when it comes we take it that the General Assem- a, reality they seem to be afraid bly will be asked to attend to oth- j^ er matters than the one for which new comphny has begun th e Governor specially called this I ork at Whitney at the river, and extra session. it, is thought that work will soon It seems to be generally accepted begm at the quarry> that people can be made'good and stork came through this way moral by legislation and by pass- j 0Q tlie jngt> and jeft a girl at in g laws to fit the case. Follow ing this idea a committee has call ed upon the people to petition the Legislature to make the State “dry” by legislation, without sub mitting the matter to a vote. They do it upon the ground that the "“handwriting is cn the wall;” that the time is ripe, and that the morals of the State demand it. If we are to depend upon the General Assembly to legislate our folks nyral, make them good * in spite of themselves, why not carry the legislation a little further and make it more practical? It is not enough to just simply take whisk ey out of reach of folks, but wis dom and brotherly love would de mand that you turn those folks in' to channels least suggestive of evil. Take charge of the poor children and help them get on their feet. Therefore, would it not be a mas terstroke to submit an amendment to our constitution making it a cause for disfranchisement, after the year 1910, if any voter or any .member of the family of said voter I ayj0Uj has not joined some church and does not hold family prayer. The law carrying out the provisions of the constitutional amendment should provide that each voter, be fore he is allowed to vote, shall ex hibit to the election'officers a cer tificate from some minister that he and his family have attended church at least twice a month fof each month during the year pre vious to the -time he wishes to vote.

On the 20th of tjhis month the golden wedding of Mr. Rufus Fish er and wife is to be celebrated at Crescent. Quite a time is expected. On the second day of this month was a-gay time at'MrV OMyin1KeS' ler’s. A birthday dinner and wed-; ding, all in the same day! Mr Kesler’s daughter. Miss Mollie, was to be married to Mri John Ar. Koon, and the family took this oc casion to surprise him with a birth day dinner* It was a grand suc cess. He was very much surprsed, had a fine dinner and received ma ny gifts. Rev R. L. Brown was present, enjoyed the feast, deliv ered the presents and performed the ceremony. We forgot all about the raising, all about pumpkin pie and came very near forgetting all our poor editor. But we hope he may enjoy many such tic casions, partake of many such feasts and realize many such haps; Rev. R. L. Brown had another unfortunate fall on the 16th and broke his leg again; broke the little bone in the same leg that was bro ken last winter. He is not suffer ing from it as from the'other break, and he hopes it will not be so bade He has it well braced, and is able to be up with it. ^ The' Record has become a Very Letter From Thomasville. Will you allow me to say a word or two in the good old Record in reference to the girl that was prac ticicg for the wedding kiss. I guess she meant wedding, kiss in stead of engagement kiss, but let me say this much. It is,good time now for young people to live on love if they can, for money iy be ing kept very close now.

It is not known haw the fire originated. John F. Ward, ‘of Farmington, Route 2, killed _a hog Iast-Wednesday that Weighed 1024 pounds. If any iiiiaii in North Carolina or the United States can beat that, let him come forth now or forever hold his peace. Since Oct, 24th, 1899, when the form of .money order was adopted, there have, been issued nearly four teen thousand orders at the Mocks- ville postoffice, an average of nearly two thousand a year. — P. R. Kimprough, of Smith Grove, passed through town Friday on his way home. He had been in States ville and Salisbury consulting with and having his eyes examined by specialists. Several correct answers have been received in the egg. problem, but Rev. J. F. Kirk, of this city, was the first to hand in the correct an swer, and he receives The Record free for one year. Why go to Winston or Salisbury to buy a ring, fountain pen, watch, bracelet, harp or other jewelry, when you can buy them in your own town and save money. Call at The call at[ Record office and see our line. Mr. Charles Smoot, of Salisbury, son of Mr. S. J. Smoot, of near Kap pa, was united in marriage on Jan.

There is a great deal of gambling carried on in this State, and it is not. all poker playing either. Only last week a big chicken fight took. place riot a hundred miles from here. - and a; good deal of money changed hands. Suchvtiiings should be looked after. The people of Mocksville and the other towns along the railroad be tween Mooresville and' Winston are anxious for a change' of schedule on the passenger trains. Instead of two trains going to Winston at 9:30 a. m., and I p. m., and two trains going to’Charlotte at 3:38 and 6:04 p. m., they, want a morning train to Charlotteand a morning train to Winston, and also an evenirig train to both of these cities. It would not cost the Southern one penny more to operate these trains than it does to operate the present system, and traffic over this line would in crease at least one-third. The way trains are now run, it takes a man part of three days to go to Charliptte and return. And besides this, when No. 36 between Memphis and Salis bury is late, all the passengers and mail and express is dumped off at Barber Jlinctioii and held there un til the day following. This service is not giving satisfaction. Mail and passengers are both unnecessarily delayed. The matter rests with the people who live on this road. - They can get better service by demanding it. We earnestly request the Cour ier, the Cooleemee Journal, Moores- ville Enterprise, Charlotte Observer, News, Evening Chronicle and Peo ple’s Paper, to put this matter be fore their readers and keep ham mering away at it until we get bet ter passenger and mail service. This means much to every town between Winston and Charlotte. When the Stomach, Heart, or Kid-: ney nerves set weak, then these or gans always fail.

The sender must be an old maid about (10 years old who is try ing to pass for 22. Dear Deacon:— Every time I think of you, my heart jumps up aud down like a churn-dasher, Sensations of un utterable joy vaijC- over it like young goats over a stable iuof, and thrill through it line a hundred, needles through a pair of linen trousers. As a gosliu swimraetju a mud puddle so swim I in a sea of glory. Visions of ecatatic rapture thicker than the hairs on a black ing brush, aud bnghtei thaua new coat of varnish, visit- me in my slumbers, and borne on their invis ible wings. Your Image stands before me; I reach out to grasp it, like a dog snapping at a bluebottle fly. When I first became aware of your angel ic perfections, I was bewildered, aud my brain whirling around like a bumble-bee under a glass tum bler, My eyes stood open like cel- Ier doors in a country town, and I lifted up my ears to catch the fool ish accent of your voice. My tongue refused to speak, and in si lent adoration, I drank in the sweet inflection of love, as a thirsty man drains a glass of hot whiskey. Since £ discovered the beautiful light of your face, I sometimes feel as if I could lift myself up to the top of the ‘‘court house” and ring the bell for Sunday school. Day and night you are in my thoughts. When the jay-bird chimes his tune ful lay in the apple treea/when the chanciliers shrill clarion heralds the coming morn, I think of thee. Your forehead is smoother than the elbows of an old coat. Your eyes are glorious to contemplate in their liquid depths I behold legions of little cupids. bathing like choat of ants In an old soda crack er. And the fire oi your eyes pen. etrate me as a load of bird shot go ing through an old rotten apple. Your nose is as perfect as if carved from tU chunk of marble, and your mouth is puckered with meanness, your laugh rings in my ears like the bleat of' a stray lamb. The dimples in your cheeks are like the scallops in home-made cakes of su gar. I am dying to fly to thy pres ence. Away from you I am as sad as a sick chicken. Sometimes I can hear the Juue-bug of despon dency buzzing iu rn-; -r.rs, and the cold lizzards of dispair creeping over me. Uncalled for fears, like a thousand minnows nibble at my spirit, and my soul is pierced with doubts, like an old cheese "board with skippers. My love for you is stronger than the smell of patent butter. You are sweeter than a doughnut fried in sorgum molasses. And -if these few lines will not en able you to see the inside of my heart, and assist me in winning pour affection, I shall pine away and fall from the flourishing,vine of life. —■ And in the coming years when the shadows grow from the hills and 'the philosophical frcg sings his cheerful evening hymn, you, happy in another’s love, can come and shed a tear and catch a cold upoD the^last resting place of one who loved you. Ever yours, ' Kittie-Clover- The Answer. The following, submitted by Rev. J. F. 'Kirk; is the analysis, by alge bra, of the example which appeared in last week’s Record: Let X equal number selling for 24 cents. 24 ‘ — = price for each egg.X 288 -— = price per dozen. ■ X X plus 2 = number if 2 more were selling for 24 cents. 24 = new price for each egg.Xplus2 288 288 - 2. 24 A school teacher trying to ex plain to his class the meaning of the word “conceited,” said:, “Suppose I would go around raying: ‘Look how good I am to my class,’ or bragging about how much Iknowor howgood looking I am—what would you say I was?” “A liar,” instantly responded his class. X plus 2 X 288 X = 288 X plus 576 — 2 Xs — 4 X. 2 X* plus 4 X = 576. X* plus 2 X = 288. Xs plus 2 X plus I = 289. X plus I — X 17. X = 16. Therefore for 24 cents the custom er received 16 eggs. PROOF. If 16 eggs.= 24'cents, I egg = 3-2 cents, 12 eggs (I dozen) = 18 cents. But. if 2 . more, or 18 eggs cents, I egg = 4-3 cents, 12 eggs (I dozen)'= 16 cents, or 2 cents less than now. January 14, 1908. Red Haired Comforts. Why not be proud of red hair! Socaates, the father of philoso phy, was red haired St. Paul was red haired, freckled and ugly, Julius Caesar was red haired, and that he was of the redheaded sort there is none to deny, ' He was ev er. ready for a fight and wasn’t a fraid to meet all comers, and he would have won against all hadn’t Brutus and a few other jealous of ficeholders done him Jo death af ter a most contemptible fashion. Queen Bess had red hair and lots of it, and it made the royal ladies angry that they eouldn’t imitate her style, which was so much ad mired by courtiers and gentlemen of. every land.—17ew York World. Lauguaaa of Umbrella*, There is a languge of umbrellas as of flowers. For instance, place your umbrella in a raekand it will often indicate that it will change owners. To open it quickly in the street means that somebody’s eye is grow ing to be in danger. To shut it quickly signifies-a hat or two will probably be knocked off. An umbrella carried over a wo man, the man getting nothing but the drippings oi the rain, signifies courtship. To swing your umbrella over your shoulder signifies “I am making a nuisance of myself.” ~ To putan alpaca umbrella by the side of a silk one signifies “Ex change is no robbery.” To lend an umbrella indicates “I am a fool.” To return an umbrella meanB— well, never mind what it means.

D. carriers, the postmaster finds it impracticable to keep the general delivery; window; open, and from now until it is -pos- sible to do so, the general delivery window will be closed at 5:30 p. m., until the mail is separated distribu ted and dispatched. We regret very much to enforce this regulation, but to keep open the window means leav ing over a large part.of the mail urn til the day following. We hope con ditions wiirbe such in the near fu ture, that we can re-open the win dow and deliver the mails to all who call. We are doing our best with the facilities at hand ,-and we would say to the laborers in- the factories who call at the office on their Way home, to coutinue to call, and if we ean~possibly wait on them without delaying the dispatch of-the mails, we, will do so.

On their way to Raleigh the law makers that were interviewed were not agreed. Some wanted to accept the compromise. Others wanted it to stay as it is.

And now a report is printed in the Greensboro papers that Jim Smith, of Smithtown, Stokes coun ty fame, was in High Point, Jan. 11, driving two big grey horses to a wagon, was heading South and was armed with two Winchesters and four revolvers. Such stories sound fishy and are only printed to show what wonderful reports sometimes get afloat and gain cur rency. Anarchist Plot to Destroy Aoaerican Fleet. A report comes from Rio Janeiro that the Brazillian police have dis covered an anarchistic plot having as it object the destruction of a part of the Americau fleet now ly ing in the harbor at Rio Janeiro. The conspiracy, while centering in Rio Janeiro and Petropolis, has ramifications in Sao Paulo and Mi nas Geraes. An individual named Jean Fedher, - who resided in Pe tropolis, was the chief conspirator there, although it is understood that foreign anarchists arp deeply involved m the plot. The police, it is said, are on the track of the plotters and they may be arrested, A Cure For Misery. “I have found a cure for the mis ery malaria poison produces,” says R- M. James, of Louellen, S.

Cotton was 12.60 on the States ville market last week. The in crease in price is largely due to the operations of Mr. Sully, the gen tleman who broke himself boosting cotton to 15 cents a few years ago. Mr. .Sully has recouped his fortunes and is again in the ring. Here’s hoping he’ll shove the price right alocg and that he won’t go broke this time. The advanced price is bringing some cotton to market but some farmers are holding for 15 cents__ Landmark. WhenYouYisit , H C . , It will be to your interest} to see the j| 4 4 4 I I Flags. AU flags of any size have to be made separately, for with the ex ceptions of very small ones they are not printed. The army and navy have to use a great many flags and to make these IJncIe Sam has over fifty men and women at work all the time. They are, of course, skilled sewers. This flag- making department alone costs the government over $60,000 a year. Each ship in the navy must carry in the neighborhood of 250 flags. This includes the flags of foreign countries, and every three years these become worn out and must de renewed. Each setis valued at $2,500.—Exchange.. Keep on Sawing. The principle of saying nothing and sawing wood has won many victories. Ho daubt of it. The only trouble with some of these say- nothing fellows is that they forget to saw. They imagine that Bilence is wisdom, and they keep on being num until they day up and blow away. There is a good deaf of. non Sence ,^ahout thjs keeping still and sawing wood- busiuess^Sfriib The active part is allrigltpDut a man who is sawing wootjfoasgol to make sawdust; he has to stir up more or less discussion as to his a- bility as a sawyer. - Hejust can’t keep still and properly advertise his business, and the man who is really at heart interested in his avocation just doesn’t know how to keep still about it. Keeping still and lying low may be all right for some politicians who hesitate to open their mouths for. fear of get- ting mixed up and compromising themselves,' but for a business man with goods to sell and trade to build up, we would suggest that a much better motto would be, Toot your own horn, and never stop sawing wood.—Merchant’s Journal. Bad Debt Agency Doing Business. Hotwithstanding the indictment in the Federal Gourt of the presi dent of the Bad Debt Collection Agency, the1 SlatesviIle friends and enemies of that institution will Ie interested to know that the con cern has not been denied the use of the mails and that it Is doing -business in Charlotte as if- nothing had happened. The^Observer said a few days ago that ic had issued a bulletin containing the names of a dozen or so people who had failed to ‘'come across” when-called. It was some time after the in dictment was found before -Mr. F, A. Hampton, the president of. the agency, was even asked to . give bond, and altogether the indica tions to date are that the indict ment is of small moment. Thedeadbeatswill take notice, therefore, that their arch enemy is still capable of giving them some ttouble.—Statesville Landmark. Rank Foolishness.

Another cut has, been made at the Southern’s Spencer shops and the dailyearnings of the employes in all departments are now reduced to the lowest figure that has ob tained at these thops. A bulletin was posted yesterday announcing that until farther notice services of the forces in all departments would be required but 8 hours a day and five daysa.week. This last cut re duces. the daily earnings of the skilled mechanics, as compared with their errnings before the first reduction, something like $1.

While the mimrods of this sec tion are boasting over the fact that they killed a deer for which they are awaiting the action of the game warden, it is now almost anassured fact that the deer was not a wild one but somebody’s pet, which had wandered from its; home. During the two days chasejfie little buck always ran in:, close proximity to farm-houses and on one night slept at the back door of a'cabin occu pied by a negro family. It was ev idently, a "tame deer, but the boys killed one all^ihe'same—Mount AiryPeadei--.'^; " r SHAKE IN. A BOTTLE.

He and the darky returned to the pullman about the, same time, and then Mr. Hardwick went to the conductor and asked that the negro be put out of the car. “We can't do that, sir,” the conductor answered. “We, if that fresh negro gets near me I’m going to wipe up the car with him,” declared the georgian. “I won’t have him around me JWho is that black rascal?” “That’s Joe Gains, champion lightweight pugilist,” answered the conductor, and Mr. Hardswick concluded not to “wipe up the car” with this quiet-looking fellow passenger.— Exchange.

There has arrived on the scene wsth the advent of the year 190S a condition that wi 11 bear considering, says the Pentiac (Ills,) Sectinel. The coming year is a leap year. There are 29 days in February. February comes in on Saturday !and also goes out on Satnrday. Therefore there are fiveSaturdays— five pay days—in February, 1908 * This is a satisfactory condition but to the investigating mind there arises the question—who knows when this will happen again? The next time that there are five Saturdays in February it must be that the month come in and go out on the same day, and i,t must be in a leap year. Therefore a little ref erence to figures is necessary to fix the time at which there will be a recurrence of the existing February conditions. The man who tries to see bow many words he can write on a pos tal card might change work and figure on this problem a while. Advice tp Young Men. Bemember, my son, you have to work. Whether you handle a pick or a pen, a wheelbarrow or a set of books, dig ditches or edit a paper, ring an auction bell or write funny things, you must work. If you look around, you will see the men who are the most able to live the rest of their days without word are the: men who work the hardest Don’t be afraid of kill^jg yourself with overwork. It is beyond your power to do that on the sunny side of 30. They die sometimes, but it is because they quit work at 6 p. m and didn’t get home till 2 a. m It’s the interval that kills, my son. The work gives an appetite for your meals; it lends solidity tayour slumbers; it gives you a perfect and grateful appreciation'of a holiday. There are young men who do not work, but- the worid.is not proud of them. It does not know their names even; it simply speaks of them as “old So-and So’a boys.” Nobody likes them, the great; busy world dosen’t know that they are there. So find out what you want to be an do, and take off your coat and make a dust in the'world. The busier you are the less harm you will be apt to get into, the sweeter will be your sleep, the hjrightar and happier your holidays^ and the better satisfied the world will be with you.—Bob Bardette. Wise Sayings from the Merchant’s Jonr- j nal. ’ J Heavenhelpsthemanwhohelps the other fellow. One wisie counsel is better than the strength of man$. Most of us never applaud until some one'else begins to clap. ' The man who does his best is not compelled to waste time telling a- boutit. It takes brain and pluck more than money and luck to get busi ness nowadays. - It is the struggle to keep up ap pearances that keeps a great many people down. The man who has the courage to Ltell the truth usually has the bra very to "defend it. It is the man who wants to sleep that camplains of people blowiog their own horn. Ability to make excuses rarely goes with an aptness to make mon ey, friends or character. The man who can say '^Yes” and “No” at the right time has the greatest command'df the language, Nothing is more fatal to a busi ness man’s success than discourage ment because of the success of ri vals. The man who never makes' mis takes likewise never accomplishes anything. The fellow who does things always makes errors but grofits by them.
