01-JanuaryhHERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNAWED BY INFLUENCE; AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN.” VOLUMN XII.MOCKSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4,1911.NUMBER 26. Looking for Opportunities. Corn at Four Cents a Bushel.Should Pay Their Debts.Some one has said that the yellow of an egg on a man’s whiskers was thevbadge of a true nabob. No edi tor in this section will be a nabob till the price of eggs drop. An old criminal was once asked what the first step was that led him to ruin, and he answered: “The first thing that led to my downfall was cheating an editor out of two years subscription. There are many things happen that are best left unpublished Because we don't publish all the bad things that happen, don’t get it into your head that we are afraid to print them. We cannot afford to print a paper reeking with filth and mis deeds, and therefore all such stuff lands in the waste basket. • One of the most monstrous crimes of the century was perpetrated in this village last Wednesday night when some miserable wretch visited ye editor’s woodshed and stole his bucksaw. We were nightly using that saw to saw up fence rails and old sidewalk planks for fuel, and un less returned to us, we must sit by a cold stove with a bed quilt wrapped around us. Bring it back. The editor is a political waif on the tempestuous sea of strife. It would have been money in his pock et if he had never been born. He has a devil part of the time and . devil of a time all the time. He would quit the business, bnt he can’t. The smallest thing about him is his pocket book; the largest thing his listof delinquent subscribers. We met Lige Henderson in the postoffice the other day and in talk ing about the weather and so forth, we asked Lige if he could pay us 25 or 50 cents on back subscription. Lige said he considered it an insult to have any one ask him for money that he owed. He said he would pay us whenever he got ready. This inade us hot under the collar so we kicked Lige. on the spot 25 cents worth and gave him credit on the book. A subscriber wants to know if it is good etiquette to kiss one’s girl cousin goodbye. Gan’t say for sure, but to us it looks mighty silly. Of course it all depends on the looks of the young lady. ‘ If she is pretty, let etiquette be hanged and kiss her at every opportunity. Never kiss your mother-in.law I I she think you a hypocrite, and never kiss your sister-in law lest your wife starts di vorce proceedings. The American hen, it is announc ed laid last year 17 dozen eggs for every man, women and child in the country. Get yours! -Philadelphia Press. No, we have a dozen good, fat hens, and have not gotton an egg in six months. A fortune awaits the man who can induce every American hen to do her duty.— Union Bepublican. Don’t Cnss Us. The newspaper man is blamed for a whole lot of things he can’t help, such as using partiality in mentioning visitors, giving news about some folks and leaving others out, etc. He simply prints all the news be can find. Some people in form him about such things and others do not. An editor should not be expected to know the names and residence of all your uncles, aunts and cousins, even if he should see thorn get on or off the train. Tell us about it. It s news that makes the newspaper, and every man, woman and child can be as sociate editor if they only will. Never apologize when you give this bit of information to an aditor, lor Jf there lives one so dead:, that he ‘haB lost his appreciation of such favors he is dead, indeed to every virture that imparts value to a pa per.—Lincoln News. It looks like the ground hog saw his shadow on Thanksgiving Day. .Colohel Bryan seems to run every year except the Democratic one. The Record and Progressive Farm er both one year for 75 cents. The Art of Being a good Parent. Dolly Madison. I am not going to try to tell the whole duty of fathers and mothers within the limitsof this short art icle! I simply want to outline and emphasize a few requirements of good parenthood. ’ I was Bhocked the other day when I heard a mother, before her chil dren complain of the faults of the father. Gossiping to a neighbor, she retailed certain family matters when her lips should have been si lent. She did not realize the effect of such gossup on the mind of the little girl who listened. To a child the father is a hero, ane it is well that it should be so. Maturity may reveal that he is not perfect, but until the young mind has a true sense of values it is just as well to let it worship as to criticise. The mother who wilfully opens a child’s eyes to the father’s faults, or who makes a bugbear of him by threatening to tell him when be comes home at night of the things which have gone wrong during the day, is extremely culpable. In the same way the father, who at the table speaks disrespectfully to his wife, or who fails in courtesy to her, is setting an example to his children which must end disas trously. Even if the parents pull apart in many ways they should try to hide the fact from their litlle folks. Each should draw the mantle of charity over the sins of the other. Even when the sharp eyes of the children begin to pierce the weak nesses of the parent, it is well for the father or mother to make ex cases. The man who drinks may have this said of him: “He is lov ing and kind” , or if that cannot be truthfully said, the defence may be: “He is not himself, so we must for give him.” The father, likewise, may defend the mother’s tempers on the ground of physical weariness: “She has to work so hard” or ‘She is not well.’ There will be much of truth in this for the woman who is rested and well is usually cheerful. Of course, there should be no de fense by one parent or ' the other when an injustice is committed. The mother has a right to stand up for her boy who is blamed of criti cised without cause. The father has a right to insist that his dau ghter shall not be judged unfairly. In many families, however, there is always warfare. Two campsare constantly contending against each other one headed by the father the other by the mother. The art of being a parent consists mainly in keeping the peace: all other qualities are second to this. The peaceful, united household will produce children who are worth while. It is the house divided against itself that falls. In these days of divorce and di vision, it is well to think of the children’s point of view. When a man and womau become “father” and “mother,” they forfeit their right to settle things selfishley. The lather’s relation to his children is of infinite importance, the mother’s influence over her sons and daugh ters will largely form their future. Isometimes wish that parents might go to somegreat school where their study would be boys and girls. Instinct teachers my white pussy cat how to take care of her black kitten. She is making a mighty hunter of him, and her pride in him is infinite. Though she caress es, she never fails to call him to account with her soft padded paw when he does not come up to her standard of manners,- Civilization seemsto have modi fied instinct in the case of many human fathers and mothers. Hence the need to look upon pa renthood as an art, something to be studied, learned and practiced. The Record is only 50 cents. Mountain Scout. A wise and honest man a man of ability and earnestness, isnottrou bled about looking for opportuni ties. Many and great opportuni ties everywhere are on a constant outlook for such men. It is the numb skull and the street loafer who is continually talking and com plaining about the lack of oppor tunities. As a rule his native town is too slow and small, and he feels compelled to leave his parental backyard for some hustling, bust ling matropolis in order to show the world the stuff he is made of. Mush. We have several such young fel lows standingaround the post-office with their hands in their pantaloon pockets up to the elbows, smoking cigarrettes, feeling confident that our home town has no opportunity for them. It is a sad fact, - but every village and town has such serious parents. Remember no vil lage is so small and quiet, but is large and active enough lor every honest man of pratical ability to be happy and do something noble and useful. Ic is all fol-de-rol to be everlast ing hankering to live in a large city because of large opportunities. Of course a man who has really out-grown bis native village has a moral right to seek a larger oppor tunity elsewhere, but that man is as rare as a pearl in oyster. Thous ands of onr youths,' however, are annually rushing to our larger ci ties believing themselves to be tal lented and capable to become fam ous and financially successful in the midst of the large and dazzling opportunities of the city. Alas! only to be compelled to turn the grindstone for sharpening the tools of others. If our young men are wise and truly have great ability, th >y will remain at home, at least for a season longer until their wis dom teeth are cut. It is more sat isfactory to be a prominent and re spected citizen of a village than to be an insigaificant stranger, jostled and ignored by the hurrying mass of humanity in a metropolis. We would rather be a dog on a farm than a caged lion in a menagerie. Now is the time when coal ope rators and dealers, believing in the divine right to fix prices to suit themselves, put the price of coal up and at the same time talk path etically of the hardships of the poor. “Bill Inside.” “Bill” Smith is a country store- kreper and last year he came to purchase his Btock of goods for the summer trade. The goods were shipped immediately and reached his store before he did. Among the lot of cases and packages was a box Bhaped something like a casket. When Bill’s wife saw this one she uttered a scream and: called f for a hammer. The drayman, hearing her shrill cries rushed in to see what the trouble was. The wife Itale and faint, pointed to the' fol lowing inscription on the box. “Bill inside.” The Quaker Maiden. A young Quaker had been for some time casting diffident glances at a maiden of the same persuasion, while she true to the tenets of her up bring ing, had given him mighty little en couragement. However, one day the opportunity of placing the matter up on a more stable footing presented itself to Seth, and he shyly inquired: “Martha, dost love me?” . “Why Seth, we are commanded to love one another,” quoth the maiden. “Ah, Martha, but dost thou feel what the world calls love?” “I hardly know what to tell thee, Seth. I have tried to bestow my love upon all, but I have sometimes thought that thou wast getting more than thy share.” Alwaysputoff till the tomorrow the bad things vou expect to do to day. Cooleemee Journal, Dec. 15tb. Mr. E ditor:—We notice in last week's issue of the Davie Record a short article taken from the States ville Landmark headed, “Sounds1 Fishy,” in which the editor of The Landmark takes the Stanley Enter prise editor to task for publishing an item in which he claimed that a Stanley county farmer had raised corn this year at a cost of 4 cents a bushel. We believe the statement of the Stanley Enterprise, and in support of this assertion we give an itemized statement below of the pre paration, cultivation, etc., of three acres of average land that has been in cultivation since “way befo’ de wah." This land is sandy loam most ly with o little chocolate soil across one comer. It contains three acres, and was measured and worked un der the supervision of the govern ment collaborator, Mr. M. J. Hen dricks, of Cana. The com weighed and counted by him, and in any mat ter pertaining to the yield of this crop, we respectfully refer any doubting Thomas to him. No com mercial fertilizer was used on this crop. We had some fresh land that made a much better yield than this piece of landand the cost of cultiva tion was much less, but as we have no disinterested witness to theyield, work, etc., on the fresh land, we will let that go and stick to the one on which we can give chapter, verse, etc., to the whole transaction: STATEMENT. To breaking 3 acres with two horses, I 1-2 days at $Z per day $ 3 OO To harrowing one time with drag harrow I OO To seed rye, three bushels 3 00 To sowing 45 To hauling out 45 loads manure, 4 days 12 00 Tobreakingandsubsoilinginspring 6 00 T-> harrowing twice with drag harrow 150 To cutting twice with disc harrow, I 1-2 days 4 00 To planting one-half day 75 To seed com I 00 To weeding four times, one day - I 50 To thinning 75 To plowing 4 times with cultivator 5 00 To cutting com 3 00 To hauling and shredding 8 00 To rent of three acres of land at $5 per acre 15 00 Total cost of production $67.95 Credit by pasturing rye $ 15 00 Credit by 6 ton stover at $8 48 00 $63 00 63 00 Credit by 185 bushels com that cost $4 95 or 2 25 37 cents per bushel. FURNEHURST STOCK FARM, Wm. K. & K. M Clement, Props. Tributes to Casey. A good-sized squad of newspaper men, citizens and merry villagers flanked the entrance to the Taft summer home, at Beverly, and kept their eyes on the road back of the Secret Service guard for the approach of the carriage contain ing Ool Roosevelt and Senator Lodge. The wait was more than two hours long and conversation flourished at times. One knot fell ro discussing Roosevelt. “The secret of his success,” said a villager, “is that he is a good man ” “That makes me think of the death of Oasey,” replied another. “ When Casey lay in his coffin a neighbor looked long at his face and then said to the widow, ‘He was a good man, Mrs. Casey.” “He-was that,’ she replied. ‘It always tuk more than two cops to handle him.”—Boston Traveler. Epigrams Recast. All the world loves a lover—except her father. An honest man’s the noblest work of God—but most of us are self- made. My kingdom for a horse—when the gasoline tank is empty ten miles away from town. ‘Tis better to have loved and lost than to have—eloped with-your ste nographer. Love laughs at locksmiths—whose locks are merely wedlock.—Judge. Somemen are like phonegraphs; every day they reel off exactly the same records. More and more we are convinced that what thiB country needs is a religion of training that will make a man pay his debts. Shouting doeB not settle accounts with God or man. Often we want to bounce a fellow right out of church be cause he went fishing on Sunday, but never say a word to the pious scamp who never pays his debts, and such people are doing the church more harm than any lot of Sunday desecrators, for there are more of them in the church. Read er. are we getting, close to you? Then lay down this paper and go and pay up and you can read at ease. And don’t yon stop paying because the “statute of limitation” excuses the open account which you made for bread and meat. You must pay in cash or God will make you pay it in fire and brimstone. God knows no such excuse for pay ing as “homestead exemption.” When you raise that excuse to keep from paying your debts you can stop singing. “When I can read my title clear to mansions in the skies.’’ You have got none up there.—Louisburg -Times. A Year For Girl Babies. It is a curious fact that the re cent arrivals in Asheville—the lit tle new comers that have chosen the city of the sky for their very first place of residence—are nearly all of the feminine gender. It is a great year for daughters and a meager year for sons. Now if all these little women should grow up to be suffragettes—but let us not pursue this painful inquiry further. The world isbeingfeminized any way.—Asheville Gazette-News. Theie will be four women in the next General Assembly of Colorado. Three of theBe are Democrats and one is a Republican. These were all chosen from the Denver districts except one. Another important victory for woman’s rights in the recent eleetion was the adoption of a constitutional amendment in the state of Washington, giving women the constitutional right to vote. The True Story of a Social Event That Occurred Somewhere. Statesville Landmark. The following true story of a so cial event will be of general interest to The Landmark’s readers and of especial interest to the society folks who give functions. Mrs. William De Normandy Smith entertained the Something or other club at her home on Long-Neck avenue, Thursday afternoon. The house looked just about as ugly as usual. Shehad a lot of faded greens and artificial flowers stuck around in corners, and it was all a perfect mess. Mrs. Smith and Rev. Brown’s wife received in the hall. TheBrownwomanhadon an old rag of a green frock that made her look like she’d been bnried and dug up, the little Smith wore that old red waist she’d had since the year I. The Jones girls and old man Goldsmith’s daughter handed out punch in the dining-room, only it was Mrs. Smith’s bedroom fixed up a little. That Goldsmith girl is so dead to let folks know her daddy’s got a little money that she was a whole show window. The Jones girls weren’t much worse than they always are, and the punch tasted like sour dish-water. Refreshments were handed round by the Johnson kids, the two worst young ones in thil-..-hole town. I do know if I couldn’t fix up something to eat any better than that I’d never have the audacity to ask anybody to eat it. The cake was as bad as so much raw dough, and the ice-cream was actual poison. But little Smith never was any honseheeper, and everybody knows it. Mrs. De Stael Grubb read an essay od the “True inwardness of the Essential Essence of Every thing.” Some people can’t help being fools, but it does seem like they conld help unloading their foolishness on folks that can’t help themselves. They all stayed till Mrs. ,Smith thougnt she’d die be fore she god rid of them, and then went away telling what a good time they all had, and began talk ing about what a measley affair it was before they got around the corner. v FOR THE BEST VALUES IN j J Men’s and Boy’s Clothing and Furnishingsrj 4» VISIT J % Mock-Bagby-Stockton Co.. j “Same Price to AIL” 418 JTrade Street Hj WINSTON-SALEM, N.

The worst has come at last—the girls have gone to giving each other wash rags for Christmas presents. A good many of our boys stayed sober over Christmas. Some of ’em ordered too early, and the juice run out before the proper time came. With Congress and the North Car olina Legislatureboth in session at the same time, we would like to ask the Charlotte Observer what chance the poor man has, anyhow? Let every man in Mocksville get busy and help secure some new fac tories, a board of trade and a build ing and loan association for the town before another year rolls around. We have made two New Year re solutions, which we hope to keep. First. Never to take another chance at a two or five pound box of candv. Second. To never take another ad vertisement from any telegraph school or Nelson, Chesman Co., with out cash in advance. It has been going the rounds of the press that Mocksville is going to lose the Charlotte and Roanoketrain at an early date; that they will be placed on the Southbound. It is up to every town between Charlotte and Winston to raise a jffwl. and raise it at once. We want at leasi four passenger trains a day, and one of them should be a morning train from Winston to Charlotte, Let ev erybody get busy and help to get this much needed train.

Editor Record:—As a father, I wish to call the attention of our peo ple to a few things that occurred during the Christmas holidays in our "town. I do not object to allowing the boys the privilege of exploding harmless fire works for a limitea time, but I don’t think the bars Sho-Id be thrown down all day and all night for their fire works. I think there should be some regula tion of the exploding of cannon crackers by the knee pant gentry; especially should some effort be madt before another another Christmas to stop these young Americans from violating the laws of our. state in the retoiling of these fire works, and the carrying of concealed weapons, and the firing of loaded pistols on our streets. Lawlessness begets lawless ness, and if the parents of thefe boys cannot control them better, then the law should be invoked in order to protect those parents who are trying to raise their boys so that they will respect the laws of their country and not trample them und< r their feet. Loaded pistols were in evidence several nights, and there is no doubt of their being fired off. Let’s enforce the laws, and teach our children to obey and observe the laws. E. H. Morris.

Wouldn’t there be a roar when they went home to their meals if they had to climb up on a high stool in front of a table on which there was no cloth, and eat their meals in that fashion, Yet the majority of meiiwhen they go to a restaurant will pick out the high stool and the feed board with no cloth on it in preference to a comfortable chair with a cloth cov ered table.

Your creditor will come over to meet you. It is the saddest day in a man's life when he feels prompted-togain 9 dollar without working for it.

Our postmaster formulates the following rules for the benefit of his patrons and that yon may know what, yon may expect: No letters given out until after they have been received. If you don’t get a letter or a paper on the day; you expect it, have the postmaster look through all the boxes and down the cellas also. It ought' to be there somewhere and he likes to hunt for it just to pleese you. If your friend don't write rave at the postmaster. He is to blame. If he tells yon no, put on a grieved look and say there ought to Ie some. He is probably hiding your mail for the pleasure of having pou call for it. Ask him to look again.

THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN." VOLUMN JCII.MOCKSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. JANUARY U, 1911.NUMBER 27 Get Ready. Get ready to farm! This may seem like uncalled for advice to men who are supposed to be farm ing already. The truth is, how ever, that many men who have no other business than the growing oi crops are not really farming. They are laboring under a delusion. They think they are farming, and many other people entertain the Barae misapprehension. They are in re ality, however only making believe farm. They are doing a few things on farms and really believe that the result is farming, when it is really the merest apologj for farming. Scratching the land three inches deep with a baby plow just before planting time is not farming. Leav ing the soil bare of all vegetation and subject to heavy washing win ter raiuB is not farming. Bnrning oil dry vegetation to get it out of the way of pigmy plows in the spring is not farming; Plowing a- ound stumps year after year when a few hours’ work would get them out of the way forever is not farm ing. Letting from IO to 25 per cent of your land be occupied by stumps and fence hedges which a little effort and sense would convert into your best tillable land iB not farming. Working a 6-inch strip of soil toa “ through” for each man and team is not farming. All really good farmers will affirm the trnth of chese assertions. Even most of those actually doing these wasteful and futile things will hardly dispute the justice of criticism. Yet these very things, and others equally unfortunate, constitute the daily practice on thousands of Southern farms. True progress is being steadily made. In ten years’ time a re markable change has occurred. Improvement, however, is all too sh w. Eot only Southern farming bi - all Southern industry and bus- in ks is now facing a crisis. Dire disaster can only be prevented by an immediate and radical change in our general farm methods. Science and practical experience agree that the only protection a- gainst disaster from the bowl wee vil lies in good farming. The only hope is to make our soils so pro ductive—by better methods of farming—that cotton may be pro duced in spite of the weevil- We must make cotton enough to supply both the demands of commerce and the voracious appetites of this in sect pest. There is but one way— by better farming The better me thods indispensable to this new kind of farming cannot be pnt into practice in a day nor a single seas on. Eow is the time to get ready— to begin. Better methods, better cultivation—mean better imple ments. Two horse plows, sulky plows, gang plows, riding cultiva tors require smooth fields. The stumps must go—their removal is the first indispensable step toward good farming. If we are to make cotton enough to pay the grower a profit and also feed the weevils our best land can not be wasted by supplying stand ing room for stumps. If we are to support ourselves and the horde of coming weevils we cannot waste time plowing around stumps, waste implements by breakage on useless obstacles, nor waste time and mon ey on needless repairs made neces sary by stumps. Prudence—common sense—dic tates that it is better to do now in a business-like way, before the weevil forces us, what we shall be driven to do after the weevil com '' Let’e get ready!—Souther" ^ ralist.

Eveo in the cotton manufacturing busi ness there was a better feeling be fore the holidays. Everybody feels that when the holidays are over there will be a little further im provement. Eo one should expect a distinct revival in the form of a rushing demand; fora while yet cotton manufacturing will remain on close margins. In this one in stance there is a world overproduc tion at the present prices, and it is not possible, in the face of increas ed spindles and decreased cotton production, to sell goods any chea per. Indeed, there is more chance for goods to be further enhanced than for cotton to fall in price. La bor would not be available in this country to spin more cotton even though we had it. if cotton man ufacturing should get on a living basis, this would be enough to ex pect for the present. The best hope of trade revival is with the farmer. Cotton-growers were never better suited than now. Cotton is a money crop more than any other. It is less perishable than most crops and is therefore a better basis of stored values. The the cotton carried at farmers’ homes bear conclusive witness that these will have money throughout the year, making cash purchases. This crop is now in hand. It brings more money than it would have brought had the crop been bigger, A multitude of other crops have been good, not only in the South but all over the country. The spirit of better and more diversified farm ing is in the bones of the people. Large production of corn per acre has fairly become a fad. Polks who used to go fox-hunting for en tertainment now aim at the corn prizes for entertainment instead. This spirit is bound to tell during the comingyear. It will require steady and hard work yet a while to do much more than make ends meet in some pur suits, but relief is near and the water has become shallow. Eine- teen eleven is thus a year that will require continued exertions, but on the last night of IUlO we shall doff our hat and bid the panic of 1907• 08-09-10 a most iinregretful adieu. The Producers Share. Farmers and fruit growers are working the ‘‘iaside ballots” with great results. This ballot is a note put in the inside of the barrel or box.

Medden, one of the old-time horsemen at theKe v York show. He has given more pleasure under as many varied conditions than any painter singer or writer.” This statement is rather broad. The latter portion of it is true, we admit, but the first is too sweeping. The horse has outstripped the paint er, the singer and the writer, all right, but he has never been iu the same class with the Eorth Carolina bred mule. In Alexander county— Little Aleck the natives affection ately call it—the Tar Heel mule reaches perfection. There the roan mule thrives. In size the Eorth Carolina mule does not rank with the Missouria product of the family, nor with the Bitter Boot animal, but for cunning trickery and all-round mulehe has the world beaten. The Alexander mule! There is an entertainer for you! It is in that neck of the woods that Gentry Brothers the dog and pony show men get their mules. The Little Aleck people claim that a well-bred, properly-reared, roan-colored brushy mountain mule such as Congressman Tyre York used to campaign on, can kick the shortening out of bread without ever breaking the crust, or kill a dog without making him holler. That is entertaining some. On one occasion at Taylorsville the county seat of Little Aleck, a great contest was held. John Pegram, a Brnshy Mountain dweller, rode his roan mule, Mike, to town, and hitched with a ha’f hundred other nags in a stall, under the shed of a livery stable. Some time during the day a bunch or boys, led by the Tom Saw yer of the village chased a stray dog into the shed. As the canine disappeared behind the outer wall he was going at lively clip, and, apprently making for the other end when he could escape. But, the unique part of is was that he did not reappear, and on investigation the lads discovered his flattened body, as dead as a herring, lying near the wall back of Ban Mike. The boys were out for entertain^ ment. Some smart little fellow tossed a tin can down the open space and Mike let go one foot- and flat tened it against the wall. It was here that real fun began. Can after can started through but every one was stopped in the same way and exactly the same place. Mike was at the bat, and there wasn’t a boy in town that could strike him out. More than a hun dred cans, it is estimated, met the fate of the first one. Yet withal, Mikenever seemed to exert himself. It required a pretty keen eye to see him move. That afternoon while Pegram led him out, one of the boys asked: ••What’ll you take for him partner? “ Money wouldn’t buy him,” was the reply. “ He can kick a chew of tobacco out of yonr mouth with out touching you.” Evidence to back our claim could be piled miles high, but this will suffice. If there be any who do not believe the assertions here made let him call on policeman Carver, he is from Brushy mountains, and knows the mountain mule. Some BibUcaI Matter. The Bible informs us that King Solomon possessed more wisdom than any man who ever lived prior to his day. His fath er, KingDavid1 said that he had rather be a door-keeper in the house of his God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. He died when Solomon was quite a youth. Then it was Solomon who prayed to God for knowledge to guide and direct his peo ple, and the Lord said because he prayed for wisdom and not a long life and riches, that he woukTmake him wiser than any man who had ever lived, and would also add a long life and riches to him. Solo mon is the author of the Proverbs and the book of Ecclesiastes, the richest of writings. He tells you he had rather go to the house of mourning than to the house of feastiug. He tells you to fear God and keep his commandments, for He will bring every work into judgment with every se cret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil. He tells you that immediately after death the spirit returns to. Him who gave it, and there to be held in reserva tion until the day of judgment. He tells you to remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh when I shall say I have no pleasure in them. Solomon says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. He tells you to keep company with good people—he tells you the mouth of a strange woman is a deep pit and he that goeth astray shall fall therein. He says it is better to dwell in the comer of a house top than with a brawling wo man in a wide house. He tells you a de ceitful woman is a deep ditch, and one addicted to lewd habits is a narrow pit, lying in wait for whom she may devour, as she increases the transgressions of men, yea, she looks as fair as the moon, and as clear as the s»n, and words spoken by her fall like drops of honey, and who ever coyed therein never returns. He tells you it is better to dwell in the wilder ness than with a contentious and an an gry woman. The Bible informs us that King Solomon could impart unto us how easy the children of men can be led astray by the female race when properly decora ted and in possession of the beauty which cannot be excelled and laying in ambush seeking whom they may devour.

An owner of a machine for the past month has been spinning to the country every morning just about daylight, and an investigation was quietly made. He has thirty rab bit gums set within a radius of three or four miles of the city and he makes a trip to thani every morning, his average catch for the past week being fifteen a.day. He probably does not sell them; just salts them away and eats them; be is in a fair way to bankrupt the meat trust.—Greensboro Record. Better Use the Banks. During the absence of Mrs. Bet- tie Watson, near Kinston last week a tramp entered her home and stole ,600 which the good lady had sewed up in an old mattress, The banks would have kept her money safe and would have paid her $144 a year for the use of it. This is in deed a dear lesson that should teach other people to keep their money in the bank. But will they do it? —Salisbury Post. His Perfect Man. “There was one man whose life was perfect,” said the Sunday school teacher “ W hat one of you can tell me who he was?” Little Mary Jane’s hand went up and the teacher nodded to her. “ He was mama’s first husband” she said. It Was Soap. A E ew Jersey farmer came to the city the other day and, among other things, he visited a high class restaurant, says a PhilidelDhia pa per. His appetite ran to cheese, and, inquiring of the waiter what sort of cheese was listed, remarked that he desired “something new.” “ Why don’t you try a bit of Roqne- f o r t! ” suggested t h e waiter. “ W hat’s that?” asked the farmer. “ Hang it,” he added, “ bring me some. I like the name, aDj-way.” H eateo fitan d lik ed it. So he thought he would take some home to his wife. Arriving late, he laid the small cheese wrapped iu siiver paper on the sideboard. He for got to enquire about it till next night and then He asked his wife how she liked it. “ Oh, I s’pose it’s mighty stylish up to the city but I jes kinder couldn’t use it. I couldn’t get no foam out of it, and when I washed the children they smelled kinder funny, and I can’t say I like it.” —Prom Scraps.

You can stick to your old buzz wagons And hand out the biplane talk, It may give you a lot to’think of, As for me, by gum, I’ll walk. I can’t see the sense in speeding So fast that the trees whiz by And you just sit tight and hold your hat And miss all the birds and sky. Give me a stick that I can swing, No chance to’break or balk; My way is slow, but I’m content, So what’s the odds? I’ll walk. Those who persist in ordering goods instead of patronizing home merchants, often “gat it in the neck.’’ Recently a good lady or dered a cloak, sending cash with order, and alter suffering painful suspense for several weeks the garment came, but was not a fit. The cloak was then returned to the dealer and the lady has been forced during the cold weather of the past few weeks to go without the much desired article of apparel. She may not be able to get suited at all and there is a possibility of her los ing the money from which she sep- eratedi herself some weeks ago. It pays to buy from home dealers— the buyer can almost always get better suited and then it helps to develop and build up home indus tries and enterprises.—Ex. The liquor dealer from whom we have purchased most of our liquor this year, all of which we bought on a credit and none of which we have paid for has sent us a circular stating that in the future he will sell strictly for cash and requesting us to send either certified check, P.

Myers, postmaster at Bixby, next station above this place, was assulted by John Enoch Brock and iiis two sons yester day. Mr. Myers’ coat was cut into shreds by ons of the parties. How ever, he received only a cut on one of his fingers, as the knife did not go to the skin. Mr. Myers’ version of the affaires tnat Brock came into the postoffice and then he invited him to have a seat, and made apologies that he had no fire, as he was doing some carpen ter work in an adjoining room. Then Brock remarked with an oath that it was a poor business that could not afford fire. Mr. Myers says that he told him not to swear, that he was in the postoffice and that it was a- gainst the rules, whereupon Brock went outside and got his two sons. Returning, one of the boys collared Mr. Myers and the other did the cut ting. Mr. Myers said that if it had not been for the intervention of Thomas Roberson with a shot gun drawn on the parties, that they evidently would have treated him very roughly. After the difficulty two of the par ties boarded the vestibule for Win ston. Mr. Myerscameto Advance, swore out a warrent before ‘Squire H. T. Smithdeal and • telegraphed to the chief of police at Winston to arrest the parties on arrival there. He will also go before United States Com missioner Chaffin at Moeksville and swear out a warrent, as they have violated the federal laws also. It is supposed that the two sons are on their way to Iowa, and may slip by Winston Salem without arrest. From information obtained at po lice headquarters here, it seems that two young men answering the des cription given by Mr. Myers got off the train at Hanes Monday, but the police have been unable to find fur ther trace of them. John Brock was tried before H. T. Sraithdeal, at Advance Friday and fined $5 and costs. His sons .have net been captured. -J is much better.

But the hand tha'. steers the pritu- er i9 a very potential factor in the ruling also. Aud that hai d is wretchedly rewarded. Shameless sis the fact is, the teachers of today are outrageously underpaid, and there is very little, if any, tendency to wright the wrong,. What incentive for a young lady to spend hnndreds of dollars in equipping hersell to engage in teaching the rising generation, when only twenty live or thirty dollars per month is the princely reward offered? The aim of society should he to put children nuder the most* effic ient instructors. Every father should have more interest in the proper training of his child than to allow it to be placed under the tutelage of a novic, incapable of giving the best instruction. But how can it be expected to keep the standard of the profession up to tlie highest degree of proficiency when the remuneration offered is scarce ly sufficient to meet the demands of actual existence- In our own city school teachers are miserably underpaid. The same is true in other cities. And the same is true in the case of that worthy army of men and women engaged in the public schools of the State. Nor do conditions appear to be bet lei in other Southern Stales, although it may be said to the cre dit ot some of them that movements are underway to pay teachers bet ter salaries—salaries more commen surate with the value of services rendered. In Atlanta one of the most pro gressive of all the cities of theSouth school teachert are paid very small salaries, and realizing the injustice of existiug salary scales, there is a movement on foot there to pay more. Put Your Money in the Bank. The Waxhaw Enterprise tells of a farmer of the waxhaw section who had $300, and for some reason preferred to carry the cash in his pocket. Theusnal result happen ed. A thief entered the house by night and appropriated the cash. Time was when folks who had money had to hide it about the house or bury it, but that day is passed, There are banks in plenty safety deposit boxes, etc.; with these conveniences, wbich can be had by almost every citizen, the man who carries any considerable sum of money on his person, or keeps it about his house, not only stands to lose the money but he may account himself fortunate if that is the end of it. In addition to being robbed he may be maimed or killed, his family may suffer violence or be murdered, and his home may be burned. These are the things the citizen invites who carries his wealth o j his person or keeps it in his home, and if he’s the only sufferer he deserves little sympathy.—Landmark. No Wonder She Blushed. An elderly Bishop, a bachelor, who was very fastidious about his toilet, was especially fond of his bath, and requested particular care of his tub from the maid. W hea about to leave town one diy he gave strict orders to the honsemaid about his “ bathtub” and said that no one was to be al lowed the use of it.

The spirit of commercialism is a greater menace to Uorih Carolina than Pellagra or any other modern form of degeneracy.

One old fashioned Tar Heel, whose word was as good as his bond, and who cherished the virtures o< his ancestors, making Honesty, kindness and Helpfulness his cardinal virtures, was of more accouut than many hundreds of his degenerate descendants who vainly imagine that money is the main thing. The New South with its mills and countless other industries is a gieat thing but the Old South with its humanity and refinement and geutility and all the finer qual ities that go to make up the sum total ofthe highest form of civiliza tion was a far greater thing, and the pily of it is that we have ex changed or are exchanging, the bet ter tor the worse.—The Uplift When given as soonasthecroupy cough appears Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will ward off an attack of croup and prevent all danger and cause of anxiety.

Kaleigh, Jan. 5.—Beading oi thebieunial message of Governor Kitchin in the Senate and House and the passage by the house of a bill by Kay of Macon prohibiting the sale of near-beer, malt and beerine and of any drink that con tains any alcohol whatever, were the features of the General Assmb Iy today. The bill knocking out near-beer saloons was introduced early and later called up and by general con sent put on its final passage. There were quite a number of “ noes’’ on the final vote, but the bill was clearly passed receiving a big ma jority Bnpport. It was ordered sent to the Senate withont engross ment. The Governor’s message was listened to with closest attention in both houses aud evidently created quite a fovorable impression. In the House, Ewart of Hender- s o n offered resolutions asking North Carolina Congressmen to support the parcels post bill and endorsing New Orleansastheplace for holding the Panama celebration, also a resolution adopting the Fede ral constitutional amendment for income tax. Officers of both Houses are urg ing members to introduce their lo cal bills early in the session so State wide legislation may have free course during the last weeks of the session. Saves Two lives.

The Man Who Marries for Money, Dolly Madison in Philadelphia Press. “Poor girls don’t have any chance to marry,” I was told, bit terly, the other day. “Men are looking for money. All the beauty and charm in the world won’t get a poor woman a husband.” Her words were somewhat con- fiirmed by the statement of a young man, who, discussing the merits of two young women, said: “They are both equally charming and the blonde has the money; therefore, it’s me for the blonde.” He may have been joking, but I knew there was something of truth in what he said. The modern world is money mad, and many young men feel that their easiest road to the acquirement of riches is by way of matrimony. In foreign lands it is an establish ed custom that a women must bring her husband a dowery. In our own country we have been proud to think that our young men ask nothing of the girls they love except their own sweet selves. Is the old order changing? Are men becoming mercenay? Is marriage looked upon merely as a get-rich- quick scheme? I like to think that love still holds sway in the hearts of tne American men, yet at times I doubt especially when I see an unattract ive heiress surrounded by a dozen men, while some beautiful Cinder ella sits alone. I do not beileve it will be out of place in the face of the temptation that comes to young men to-day to select a wife of wide possessions, to sound a note of warning. The wiie with money is not al ways an unmixed blessing. The attitude which makes for happiness is that in which the nusband bes tows upon his bride all his worldly goods. Independence, especially in money matters, has always been a masculine prerogative. The man who must go to his wife or to her father for money; who must eat always the bread of char ity and who knows that it is not his house, but his wife’s; not his automobile; not his horses and car riages and lands, is going to feel bitterly and heavily some day that in his worship of the golden calf, he has lost the best thing that life could give him—his sturdy inde pendence. Many wives do not hesitate to make their husbands feel the sting of dependence.. I knew one bride who, after the firat honeymoon, be- gau to assert herself. Every sug gestion, every bit of advice of her young husband was rejected. Her attitude was one of “I do as I please.” Shegavehim to under stand with some firmness that from the silver to the Bervants she was the owner, the director, the head of the heuse. Other men, looking on, would ask, “ Why don’t he as sert himself?” / But assertion is not easy under such circumstances; the man who knows that a qnerrel may mean separation, and that separa tion means the stoppage of income, finds that conciliation is the only course, and it is not an easy one. Of course. I am not advising that any lover should give up the girl for whom he cares simply because she has money; I ant'simply assert ing that he should not marry mer ely for the sake of what she has Stnrdiness of spirit, independence of action, the right to be the head of his own house are possessions too valuable to forfeit. In comparison riches are worthless. The man who marries for money may some' day have a fortune, .'but he is not likely to find happiness. A Much-Courted Girl. Statesville Landmark. “ The d—I you say!” was the ex clamation which fell from the lips of a certain young man of the coun try when he called at the register of deed’s office at the court house Friday and was told by Begister Boyd that license had just been is sued for the marriage of the young woman for whom he deBired to get official permit to wed, and thereby hangs a story, It came about in this way: Friday morning a certain young widower of Statesville—his wife has been dead about six months— called at the register’s office and secured lieense to wed a young girl who came to Statesville from the country some time ago. The wid ower bad hardly gotten out of sight with his permit in hand, when a young fellow from the country— from the girl’s old neighborhood— appeared in the office and asked for license to wed the same girl. Mr. Boyd politely told him of the papers he had just issued, where upon the young man let go the ex clamation quoted above. Admit ting that he was “ up against it,” the dissappoiLted suitor stated to those in the register’s office that he was sure that if he could see the girl before the ceremony was per formed that he could keep her from marrying the widower, and he left the office in haste. Nothing more was beard from the two rivals until late in the afternoon when both appeared at the register’s office and told Depu ty Begister Morrow--Begister Boyd was out at the time—that they had both had a talk with the prospect ive bride and that she had decided she would prefer passing'the wid ower for the yonug man, and it had been agreed by all three that license should be changed accord ingly. The widower offered to surrender the license he had, but not desiring to have a hand in the mix up” Mr. Morrow told the callers they would have to see Mr. Boyd, who would not be in until night. It was then agreed that the two should meet Mr. Boyd at the office Saturday at 12 o’clock and make the change, the widower re taining posession of his license un til that time. But when noon ar rived Saturday neither of the pros pective grooms put in appearance at Mr. Boyd’s office. Later in the afternoon, however, the young man from the country called and Want ed to know if the widower had been in to surrender the license at noon, and on receiving a negative answer he declared that the agreement had been broken; that the widower had promised to come in and surrender his rights. On investigation his worst fears were confirmed—the girl had married the widower after all. Making the above Btory all the more interesting is the fact that the girl’s father called on register Boyd some time ago and gave his consent in writing for the marriage of his daughter to a young man who had no connection with the incident re lated above, and who never made application for the license which the girl’s father expected him to secure. North Carolina for Taft. Washington Post Dec 30th, Prompt response in the affirmative is made t< the intimation that Presi dent Taft would stand for a renomi nation if the people want him. The Kepublicans of North Carolina lead off with an indorsement that stops nothing short of having the peal of a national note. While voicing the sentiment of the party in the Old North State singly, the resolutions have a reaching quality which makes them everywhere applicable to the vital question. North Carolina will instruct her delegates to support President Taft on the strength of the solid perform ances of his adminstration and the wisdom of his policies as a national and not a sectional President, The words are few, but they comprehend what is known of all men—that the Taft adminstration, in spite of party differences which divided its suppor ters in Congress, has given force and effect to the national voice in fuller sense and larger volume than any of its predecessors. Who but a Presi dent highly endowed for the place could have stood between the war? ring extremes of party conviction and come off so well as Taft? . As further evidence of their true, sense of appreciation, the North Car olina Kepublicans bid their party brethren in other Southern States to reconfze President Taft’s attitude to ward that section both as the head of the nation and as the head of his party. Especially pertinent and op portune is the resolution directing Southern attention to the wisdom and justice of his course with respect to the doing away with the referee system of Making Federal appoint ments and the emancipation of the party from other conditions and pol icies which retarded its growth. The North Carolina Republicans have stated the case of President Taft and 1912 so clearly and con vincingly that there is no negative side to the picture.

Farmes’s Demand State Dog Tax. Wc note with satisfaction that the question of a state dog tax has beeu debated favorably in’ the North Carolina’s Farmers’ Union and is now under official advise ment- In reality no pne has so much to gain from the elimination of worthless and superfiqon.s- doga the farmer. He gains directly in becoming enabled to raise sheep, as well as through the increased funds for educctional purposes thereby provided. Heretofore our legislators have shied away from this matter because of a fear that the farmers were not sufficiently enlightened regarding it. Once convinced that there is no resent ment in store, they would come in to line quickly enough. There are also evidences that the farmers have begun considering, along with the Torrens system— which all their organs of opinion heartly favor—the question wheth er the state's large homestead and personal property exemptions migh not with advantage be reduc ed. At present these excessively large exemptions bring it about that nobody trusts the average man for any lump debt without a mort gage or its equivalent, inasmuch as the law has invited him to repu- date all his unsecured obligations. This, with much the same result in the end as if there were moderate exemptions or none produces a great deal of needless inconvenien ce and expense. It is among the many good signs of the times that the farmers are considering such things.—Charlotte Observer. Solves a Deep Mystery. ‘I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart,” wrote C. B.

For two or three years we have been trying to impress upon the people of this town the necessity of organizing a build ing and loan association. We know of nothing that would help the town more. Why not get busy and organize now. No newspaper will ever be found advo eating that which is detrimental to the town and community, its. people and its industries. The newspaper fights for the right and condemns the wrong, and yet the public cuss them from year to year. We would suggest that our preachers set aside a certain day to preach about the evils of opening up too many hotels in small town. Also to preach a special ser mon on the evils of drinking “dope,” some times called Coca-Cola, a drink that should . be handled more carefully than whiskey. The Greensboro papers have been very silent since the census returns for that village have been made public. About two years ago they claimed 42,000 popu- 1 (tion, while Uncle Sam gives them but little over 15,000. If you want to hear a howl, just wait until the population of MocksviIle and Statesville is given out. Among other new year's resolutions in The Davie RecGrd we find the following: “To never take another advertisement from any telegraph school or Nelson, Ches- man Co., without cash in advance." Now if the editor of The Record will step over to The Ripple office he will find the same resolution recorded here, with the Inter national Advertising Agency included.— Yadkin Ripple. If the merchants and business men of Salisbury, Cooieemee, Mocksviile and the surrounding section would get busy, it seems to us that an electric railway could be built from Salisbury to this city, and on to Courtney and Yadkinville. Such a line would open up a fine territory, and be a paying investment from the start. It would mean great things for Salisbury as well as the other points it would touch. No other paper in Davie county has so many wide-awake correspondents as has The Record. No other paper gives one- half so much county and town news.

The Record tries to be fair in all mat ters, and advocates nothing that is wrong if it knows it. In almost every town of any size in North Carolina tnere is to be found a skating rink—a place where both .boys and girls, young ladies, old ladies and gentlemen of ail ages go for recrea tion and exercise. Since we can first re member we have heard but one sermon preached on the evils of skating rinks, and the preacher never quoted a single passage out of the Bible condemning it. He told what some few great preachers had said about it, and whac he himself thought of it We have been in many skating rinks throughout the country, and always found that the best people of the town patronized them, ministers’ fami lies among the number. We have talked to many people about skating rinks, in cluding a number of ministers, and have only found two ministers and one or two others who opposed it Of course, harm can be made out of any kind of amuse-' ment, but we claim that a lady is a lady, and a gentleman a gentleman, let them be where they may. We can’t believe that there is any harm in innocent a- musement or healthful exercise. Those who have never been in a skating rink may be under the impression that skating is similar to round dancing, which is far I from correct. If one should happen to ■ step into a skating rink down on the Bow ery in New York, or Chicago, St. Louis or other large cities, they would doubtless see some revolting sights. Even church suppers and church societies in large cit ies are run on a mighty low plane, and would not be tolerated in some of our Southem cities. Iu some sections of the country, and possibly in England, China and Africa, far distant countries, where the people have not reached as high mark of civilization as the American citi zen, it might not be well to have skating rinks, but in this section, where every body knows everybody, and nothing but gentlemen are permitted to participate in these pleasures, we can see no harm. Our columns are open to anyone who cares to discuss this question either pro or con. We are opposed to any form of evil, and our paper stands ready to fight against it in any manner, but with the lights before us, as we view this skatingrink matter at the present time, we are heartily in favor of it The young people of the town need some place of recreation and amusement. There is no finer exercise than skating. Let them skate. Reedy Creek News. I Here are the names of the good boys that renewed their subscriptions -to The Record last week.

He can no longer hug to bis breast the peculiar dis tinction which has beeu his so long. His star is sinking and his old- time reputation of being the Cham pion Liar of the world has been knocked into Bplitbereene by the reeeut deliverances of a certain Miss Holman, a self-appointed Yankee “ missionary” to the mountain peo pie or Veslern North Carolina. It has jui-t come to onr knowledge that this Northern woman has been hitdiug forth in the mountain sec tion of our State for about ten years. • Every now and then she makes a trip North and “ lectures” on the . awful squalor and destitution of this section, and the uncivilized heathenism ot our people. One of her most recent spasms occurred in Baltimore, and from her spasmodic spoutings on that occasion we beg . leave to quote the following gems of thought Remember, now, that the speaker is talking about Wes tern North Carolina, a section of country that has produced some of the giandest characters and brain iest men that ever went forth into the world. Read: •‘A cow in the mountain districts i* a precious Possessionr but a wife couDtis for very little. When the cow falls ill the man of the house is beside himself with fear, least he . lose her, but the illness of his wife is received with comparative indif fereuce. If she dies, she it buried as soon as possible, and within a week or so be is married again. He and his second wife then go to chnrch and hear the fuueral sermon of his first wife. Thepeoplethere wear their clothes until they wear out, never taking them off W'en they retire. They have the most primitive ideas of mediciue. The only cure for tuberculosis 16 a pan of water to prevent the night Bweats, and as they rarely have basins, the frying pan is usually pressed into service for this occa sion.” Where in the divil is thetnrpen- tiuet Ugh! But don’t that juBt all-over-be-grsh lay it across any thing you ever saw? Now what chance is thert for Sapphira’s old man? He might just as well deliver up his credentials to Miss Holman and say no more about it. Talk about iuiiginatioii! Why, th a t woman has got it to throw at the birds, as a plain liar she’s head of Ananias: as a romancer she’s ahead of Cervantes; as an iuventor she’s ahead of Edison. In fact, she just simply beads anything that ever came snorting down the missionary pike. If the Legislature of North Carolina has got even a faint smoll of decency on its clothes it will pass a law making it a hanging crime for such cattle as this Holman thing to run at large in our mountains and then go back North and tell such ungodly, uncalled-for and un reasonable infernal lies about our country and our people.

We are informed bv reading tbe Bible that God caused Samson to Be a man in possession of more strength than any oth er man, because his people, the Israelites, did great evil in the sight of the Lord, and by so doing, the Lord caused the Philistens to obtain a victory over the Israelites, and it was retained by them until Samson's day. Then ,and not until then did the Lord suffer the Israelites to obtain a victory over the Philistines, and that, too, by the Lord causing Samson to be a man of more strength than any oth er man, as recorded in the Bible, and in order for Samson to become successful he had to marry a woman of the Philistines, for which his father and mother rebuked him, yet tbe Lord had a hand in the mat ter and Samson's riddle caused him to kill 30 Philistines, and Samson’s foxes ran in all directions, causing the property of the Philistines to be burned, and from which Samson’s wife and! her father's burned to death, and from which Samson said he would reap vengeance off 'of the Philistines, and so he did when he took the jaw-bone of an ass and slew heaps upon heaps, and those he did not kill he put to flight, and soon thereafter he pray ed for water, and his prayer was granted and he received water from the jawbone. Later, when he was beguiled by a woman not his wife, and after telling her wherein his great strength lay, which was in the 7 locks of hair grown out on his head, and which when shaved off he would become weak like other men; she got him to sleep upon her lap, then motioned the Philis tines, who were laying in wait to appear, and the 7 locks of his hair were shaved off and he became weak. Theytook his eyes from him and put him in a pi ison house to grind. Later his hair grew out, strength returned and the Philistines gath ered themselves together in a large house to worsnip.an idol, and they had Samson brought into the house to make them sport. He prayed to his Father for assistance, which was granted, and he bowed him self, threw the house which killed thous ands, himself among them. J. R. WILLIAMS.

No man can be strong who is suffering Irom weak stomach with its consequent indigestion, or Iroxn some other disease ol the stomach and its associated organs, which im* pairs digestion and nutrition. For when the stomach is weak or diseased there is a loss ol the nutrition contained in food, which is the source ol all physical strength.

Q f y t l k t i i i c M t m t h Even The Heathen Are Beating Us. Editor Clarence Poe, of The Pro gressive Farmer, who is making a tour through Asia furnishes some astonishing figures in the last is sue of his paper as to Japan's edu cational progress. Although Ja pan's war taxes alone (on account of her struggles with China and Russia, aud her present enormous military expenditure) amount to ten times the average tax rate in the South, Mr. Poe points out that the people gladly tax themselves enough to provide ior nearly every boy and girl in the Empire, even those on the farms Mr.- Poe says:. These brown Mongolian farm children, whose land we opened to civilization but fifty years ago, and whom we thought of but yesterday as backward heathen—they are getting, as a general proposition, just twice as much schooling as is furnished in - our Southern rural districts; their parents are provid ing, in their zeal for their child- dren’s welfare, just twice as good educational facilities as we are giv ing onr Southern farm boys and girls who bear in their veins the blood of a race which has carried the flag of human progress for a thousand years, and whom we are expecting to contisue to be leaders in civilization and enlightenment. In other words, so Dr. Matsui told me (aLd I went today to the Japanese National Department of Education to verify the faet), the Japanese farm boys and girls are getting ten months’ schooling a year, while the Southern farm boy or girl is getting only five or six months—and when I was in a Southern country school fifteen years ago not nearly so much as that! Do you wonder that I avoid ed telling the Japanese educational officer just how our provision for farm boys and girls compares with Japan’s and that I also neglected to tell him how we compare in the matter of utilizing school advan tages, when he showed me that of all the children between 6 and 14 in ail the Empire of Japan the school attendance is 98 per cent— 98 out of every 100 children of “ school age” attending school, and in several provinces 99 out of ev ery 100. Thirty-five years ’ago the average school attendance in Ja pan was only 28, and in 1893 only 59, but by the time of the war with Russia it had passed 90, and since then has been climbing straight and steadily toward the amazing maximum itself, the offi cial figures showing a gain of .1 per cent a year—94 per cent, then 95, then 96, then 97, and now 98, and the leaders are now ambitious •. for 99 or 100, as they told me today. And then in the matter of com pulsory attendance: when this: offi cer of an “inferior race” showed me that Japan is so intent upon edu cating every boy and girl in her borders that she .compels 'attend ance on the public schools, for eight years, I didn’t tell him tbiat in ci vilized America, the great, enlight ened nation so long held up to him as a model demagogues and others on one pretext or another, have de feated almost every effort for ef fective compulsoey education laws in the South at least, rmd if a boy’s parents are indifferent to his future the State does not c ompel^them to give him a fightia g chance in life— for its own sake/and for the boy’s. W ith these Siacts before me, as I have said, I ^Jid not make any vainglorious)/boasts of the great educational! progress of our South ern States tb ese last twenty years: all the. prottd reports I have heard at educational rallies and confer ence’s seemed somehow to collapse like punctured gas-bags. Howev er much progress we have made, these brown Japanese “brethren” have b eaten us. Menand crops are alike—neither -can do their bast1 without thorough cultivation. Republicans Should Look South. Washington Post. It will help the Redublican party to win the national election in 1912, if a Southern man is placed on the ticket as a candidate for Vice-Presi dent. according to Zeb Vance Wal- ser, former Attorney General of North Carolina. I don’t know what the Democrats will do in the way of having a South ern man on the national ticket, said Mr. Walser, “but it occurs to me that, if the Republicans will naine a man from the South as running mate for President Taft, it will give us a better chance of victory. There is plenty of good material to be had. North Carolina has a number of Re publicans who would add strength to the ticket. For instance there is Judge Pritchard. He would make a strong candidate for Vice President. Then there is Representative More- head, who overturned a Democratic majority of 5,000. If we should go to another State, we might select General Luke. Wright, of Tennessee. “The result of the election in North Carolina does not signify that the Tar Heel State has gone back ward in its fight for Republicanism. North Carolinahasalwaysbeenmore or less volcanic in its elections. Mr. Taft is more popular today in North Carolina and throughout the South than he has ever been, and this is due in a large measure to the inde pendence he has shown in his ap pointments. He has convinced the people that he is not a partisan Pres ident, but a President of all the peo ple. I do not know how his appoint ments of Democrats niay appeal to people of the North, but we Repub licans in the South admire him for his'non-partisanship. His declara tion that the South will never give a Republican majority until the ques tion of office holding is eliminated is accepted as a correct interpreta tion of the situation. SH“There will be a pretty fight a- mong the Democrats, when it comes to electing United States Senators two years hence,” added Mr. Wal ser; “Senator Simmons will have formidable opposition from Gover nor Kitchin, who is an avowed' can didate.” A Profitable Mountain Industry. Boone Democrat. Gathering evergreens for market is quite an industry In the moun tains of western North Carolina, especially a hardy perennial plant called galax or colt’s foot. It is a hardy growth and seems to flour ish and: grow to the greatest per fection in tne coldest places, high up on the mountain sides. Where the snow lies the longest the best and finest specimens are to be found;- Like the eidleweiss of the Alps, it loves the snow and the cold, and the northern blasts of winter. During the early fall the leaves are a thick, glossy green, bi:t as the weather grows colder they chaDge to a rich bronze and conse quently bring a better-price. The leaves are in great demand by the people of the North who use them for decorative purposes. It is much used by them in their cemeteries and at Christmas, and the demand at Easter is great. At the proper season the moun tains are made almost vocal with the happy voices of men, women and children all intent on seeing how many thousand they can gath er per day. Away off in the fast ness of the eternal hills they hie, aud return laden with the beauti- iul product of the forest. Those who gather them get from 25 to 30 cents per thousand for them, and one person can gather from four to five thousand per day, and when a whole family goes, as is often the case, you see that quite a neat sum is added to the family income. Much care must be taken in getting the leaves ready for sale, They must be tied up evenly in bunches of 25, care being taken not to use an imperfect leaf, for when they are culled by the merchants, the whole bunch will be thrown away. They get sale for them at the neighborhood store, and secure their pay in money or merchan dise. .This writer once spent some time in a neighborhood in which the people gathered much galax and was impressed with the way the people of all classes gathered it—seemed to enjoy the work. One happy faced little woman—the mother of eight bright-eyed boys and girls, told me that in one year she and one little boy ' sold $75 worth. Il impresses one as beau tiful work as well as renumerative. W omen and children can gather only part of the day, as they soon get more than they can earry home. It makes strong limbs, bright eyes and rosy cheeks and they enjoy it, as much as do the hog-gatherers of New Tork, or those who make a frolic of grape-gathering in sunny France. From Shelby to Hickory. Shelby, Jan. 15.—The latest de velopment in the interurban rail way system is a proposed line to be built by the North Carolina In- teruban Traction Company from Shelby to Hickory. Recently the boai d of directors met at Cherry- ville and determined upon 'this route, Several years ago the right- of-way was secured for a railway line from Shelby back into the mountains, in the direction of Mor gan ton, and the road was graded from Sbelby to Fallston.- a distance of 10 miles. The country is level and a fine roadbed was made, but for some reason the proposition failed to materialize after the coun ty had spent $8,000 in bonds. It is thought the traction company will revive these land grauts and follow the old roadbed to the edge of Catawba county. It will open up % splendid farming section and fine timber lands. Other branch lines are contemplated and there i3 much speculation in the minds of many as to what will be the out come. A short time ago the name of the Isothermal Traction Company, which is promoting a trolly line from Gastonia to Asheville via Shelby, had its name changed to the North Carolina Interurban Traction Company and a new char ter is to be provided. This is the company that proposes the branch line from Shelby to Hickory. Mr, Kenneth Finch of Charlotte is pre sident of the company, and Mr. McKay, the hustling financial agent, has been hard at work mak ing arrangements for the beginning of the work on the Gastonia-Ashe ville line. He says actual construction will probably start in the early spring and summer. That the proposed line through this section connect ing Asheville and Gastonia* will be built is now almost a certainty. There are many preliminaries and details to be carefully worked out and arrangements made for the fin ancingof the projected lines. It has been rumored that the Southern Power Company, which is making extensive interurban de velopments throughout the pied- monk section of the tw o. Carolinas is back of the North Carolina In terurban Company: Howe v e r, nothing has been given out as to the truth of this statement. The line has-alreadybeen surveyed from Gastonia to Rutherfordton.. - Three Negroes Lynched.

At the Coroner’s inquest it was clearly shown that the accident was onavoidable'and that’the owner of the automobile, who was driving it, was in no wise to blame. The owner, is a !banker, “ well off” ‘but not rich. Rather than to have killed t*e child he’would havegiv en all his”,worldly! posessionB—he would have given up his silver and gold to the last coin. But the ac cident occurred, seemingly by the hand of fate, and all the money in the world could not restore the life, that bad been extinguished. We have read of occurrences of the sort in New York, when the auto- mobilist would speed on in the hope of avoiding detection and in some instances succeeding'in ',doing so. But this Wilmington automo- bilist had a heart in him. He and his wife and his friends ministered to the family of the child and through this gave the family a sen se of their own grief, and then in finality, the automobile driver left with the mother a check for $1,000. Having been acquitted of blame by thejeoroner’s jury)he]had no'.call to pay damages. He might have re sisted a suit and in all probability would have won for the evidence was on his side, and he might have left the family to pay the funeral expenses, which he did not do. Of course, the thousandidollar check did not pay for the life of the child but it stamped the signer of it as a man of warm human impulses and with a soul of the kind over which angels smile.—Charlotte Chronicle.

New York newspapers are having great sport with TheodoreRoosevelt and they are entitled to some of it because Theodore Roosevelt has had his fun with the New York news papers. But, after all, it will occur to a great many thoughtful men that these newspapers might devote some of their attention toward a serious effort to prevent the special interest wrecking the democratic party even as they have wrecked Mr. Roosevelt’s party. Mr. Rooseveltis an interesting character and he has his faults to be sure- but there is more serions work at hand for the American Press than dissertations on Roosevelt.

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: One Year, in Advance.........................50c Six Months, in Advance......................25c WEDNESDAY JANUARY 25, 1911 No spring poetry wanted at this office. Is’s wood we need, instead of poetry. Some of the easiest things to get are often the hardest to get rid of, the itch, for instance. Up to this writing that North Carolina legislature hasn't done much to show for the amount of cash it has taken to run it. That fellow who predicted so many snows this winter, should have his neck stretched without even a preliminary hearing. Some time ago they found seven true bills against a fellow for selling liquor and would have found more if they hadn’t run out of bill heads. We saw a man walking around on the streets the other morning with a lighted lantern. Guess he was looking for an honest man. A lady wants to know whether it is true that kissing will cure freckles. Can’t say, but a cheap remedy likethat is worth trying. Office hours from seven to six. Yadkin county seems to want good roads, and is going to make a try for them. Same of these days Davie county will wake up end look around at her roads and do something. The fellow who promised to bring us a load of wood the other day may not suf fer from heat in this world, but we be lieve his chances for keeping cool in the n *xt will be meager. The very latest advices are that the blackberry crop for 1911 will be even a better one than that of 1910. Good. The only thing to worry about is, it’s five months off. The North Carolina legislature can do the people a great service and make it self famous at the same time by passing a law prohibiting the ground hog return ing to his den on Feb. 2nd. An exchange says a man who is afraid to invest or who is too stingy to turn his money loose is no account to a commun ity. This article don’t touch us. We keep every cent we can rake up in circulation —or at least our creditors do. A Kansas paper recently remarked that “although every woman could not vote, every woman can have a voter.” But an exchange quickly picks it up and replies that it knows of several hundred old maids who are looking for their theirs. In fact, we know of several in Mocksville who have not yet been supplied. If you received a “love letter” from us, we would be glad to hearfrom you. Don’t wait, but come quickly. We have not yet finished mailing to our route and town subscribers. Cal1 and settle and save us the expense and worry of mailing you a statement If men could only get it into their head that they do not spite anybody much by stopping their paper, but that the great est harm comes to themselves, it would be a great deal better for them and their families. Theonly editors with whom everybody agrees are those who are of no account in the world. Any man with opinions of his own is bound to find op poses, and granting that he is wrong,1 that is no reason why one should refi.se to accept the good he may do by bringing light and knowledge through his columns. We have heard of the nose being cut off to spite the face; and some people slop their paper for reasons just as silly. If Ignorance Were Bliss. Dear Readers Qf The i Record:—Ip last week’s issue of The Record,' the editor said the columns were open for discussion on Jhe skating_>rink. He also declared himself to be "hear tily in favor of its,” giving as his reason “that the young peopleof the town needed some place of recrea tion and amusement, and .that there was no finer exercise than skating.” I- want to put in a plea for the young people and especially the boyspf our town, yea, of all the land. He says “there is no finer exercise.” How1. about the boy who, tomes home from school, puts on his ovefalls.arid with axe in hand goes merrily whistling to the woodpile in the back yard, or likewise, when the proper season comes, with hoe in hand,: he goes bounding off to the garden, and . as he sees the mellow sod dissolve, the seeds germinate and grow into the fruitful plant that yields large re wards for his muscle, brain and time expended, his mind and soul is fed on the lofty thoughts Of nature and of nature’s God. He is encouraged by the large yield and learns his les son there. He hears the song of the early bird, the whispering breeze and sees the sparkling dew drops and flowers growing everywhere for the hand that will pluck them. ' How far superior this exercise to that of the noise and din, debasing thoughts and broken limbs, late hours and dulled intellect of the skating rink. It surely is a worldly amusement that is not at all necessary, and certainly condemned by God throughout the whole teaching of His word, as is all worldliness. With God there is no middle ground. Weare either for Him or against Him. “He that gath- ereth not with mescattered abroad.” On which side would we place the skating rink? Is it a place where we would expect to find God, or up on which we would invoke His bles sings, or can we truly say that the end and aim in view is His glory? Jesus “increased in wisdom and stat ure, and in favor with God and man.” It is also said of Him, “Is not this the carpenter’s son,” and again, “He went down with them and was sub ject unto them.” There is much in struction in even this much informa tion concerning the chiid Jesus, for parent and child, if we would only take time to consider. Recreation is doing what one loves to do. Then why not bring will power to bear and learn to love .to do that which is useful. The destiny of. our nation depends largely upon the boys of to day. Then should we not be anxious as to how they spend their time, the habits they are forming, the thoughts aims and ambitions of their lives. Oh, men of this town, and every town in the land, I plead for the young people—the bovs—my boy and every mother’s’’boy. Remove temptation as far Os possible, and guide them in ways of righteousness. Take'down all ,“high places” and erect “altars” to the true and living God ” Mr s. W. C. Martin. The poor old goose quill used by ye editor cannot soar beyond the clouds in oratorical splendor, and no such ascension shall be tried. ' In commenting very briefly on the ar ticle above, we wish to venture the assertion that the lady who wrote the article has never been in ia skat ing rink, and therefore knows noth ing about it, and is not competent to judge. In tbeseeond place, there are few boys in Mocksville who grab their overalls and make a dash for the wood pile or the garden. Would that there were.- Instead of doing that they loaf around in the offices, stores, depot and other places, which is much worse than going to a skat ing rink and taking-a little harmless exercise. Whena boy or girl has studied hard in a school room for six or seven hours, or in the- office, store or factory for ten or twelve hours, they feel but little like shoul dering an axe or hoe and doing hard labor. God forbid that we should ever be so cruel as to treat our boy.- that way. We were a boy once, and it hasn’t been so long ago, and we have heard the expression since our earliest recollection, "that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” The lady uses over a half column of space, and doesn’t quote a single verse out of the Bible condemning skating. Should she take a journey through Holland, the home of our t'orefathers, she would find'that all the people were skaters, even the preachers and their wives. The best skater we ever met was a minister >f the gospel, and a resident of this State. Far more harm c,in be done in one afternoon’s meeting of a “La dies’ Gossiping Society” than in a month’s attendance at a skating rink. All doctors will admit that boys and girls need exercise, and that skating is the best exercise that one can take. Go to any town, or city in North Carolina and pick out the brightest, most intelligent boys and girls to be found, and we will guarantee that two-thirds of them skate. Our paper pleads for the old as well as the young, both in and out of season, and will continue to do so, “but we are heartily in favor of the boys and girls skating.” Go’ out and learn what a skating rink is, and if you see any evil about it, then condemn, and not till then. Don’t condemn a thing you know nothing about. . ■ Harmony, Route One News.

Furthermore, Mr. McElwee will ask that the importation of foxes in to Iredell be prohibited.

There has been much complaint of the depredations of these foxes and outside of a few who follow the hounds Mr. McEl wee’s idea of the elimination of the fox importations will doubtless have solid backing.—Statesville Land mark.

The Asbevilie Gazette News stiilM what, is known to be a <le plorahle truth when it says that there are barrels of Oregon apples shipper here of average size which sell for five cents each. There are wagon loads and wagon loads brought in from the furrouuding country that are not of average size, or quality, according to rec ognized standards, which sell foi ten cents a dozen. The Oregonhap- .pJes are too expensive lor the ave rage man and the native apples as a rnle, are not as good as he wants. The Oregou apples ai e no better than e«n be raised here, if as good, but they are better than most ap ples that are raised here. The Ga- zette-News argues that apples of the Sanii1 qnaiity as the Oregon a; - pie raised in this sectiou, “could and would be sold lor two and a half cents, which would be to the advantage of both consumer and grower. At the horticultural in stitutes, held in this sectiou last spring, il was impressed on the growers that all that, was required to grow good apples here were the. processes of pruning and spraying —both easily and amply done and that is what the Oregon apple gro wer does, regularly and systemat ically. It is possible that good ap ples grown here might retail for five cents, but the money would be kept at home.” Our farmers need to give more attention to their ap ple trees. estern !forth Carolina could easily beat Oregon on apples if it would only try.—Charlotte Chronicle.
