07-JulyISSUES MISSING “HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS1MAINTAlNi UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN.” VOLUMN XIU.:MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY, JULY 12. 1911 NUMBER I The Building And Loan Associi^jon. The following article is copied from The Lexi Dgton Dispatch for the benefit of the. citizens of Mocks- T ille and the Burrounding sections. Read the article carefully and see the great results that can and ate being obtained through these asso ciations. The town of Mocksville could double her population iu ten years if she had a Building and Loan Association. Let’s get busy, call a meet’ng of the citizens of the and organize an association and be gin work now. A gentleman living in % nearby town has offered to lend his assistance at any time in helping us to organize. Talk this matter up between yourselves. The Dispatch article follows: The Lexington Perpetual Build ing and LoanAssociatiou will issue its third series of stock July I. Capt. 0. M. Thompson, secretary and'treasurer of the association, now has the subscription books open at his office and is ready to at tend to all comers. The association is doing a great >u Lexington. It has enabled a number of men to build and own their own homes during the last six months, and others now hold ing stock are preparing to build. The association was never so full of enthusiasm as it is today and it is apparent that it is just entering upon the period of usefulness. ^Wisely managed, the association offers absolute safety to investors and home builders. One of the finest things in the world for the growing boy is to teach him to .sa v e m oney w b ile be IB young and teachable. The build ing and Loan association offers an ideal way. Any industrious boy can carry one share of stock, or more,-and on one share the dues are 25 cents per. week, or $1 per month. Acertificate of Btock is issued to him and when the slock matures it is worth exactly $ 1 0 0 to him. It is estimated that the stock if the installments are paid regul arly, pins accrued interest and earnings, will mature within 74 months from date of issue. In that time he will have paid iu $74 iu actual cash and the association will hand him $100. Teaeh the boy to save while he is yet a boy and when he is old he will keep it up. Tothem anw hois paying out rent every month the association offers an escape. Few of the houses - that are to rent In Lexington cost over $700 each. Many of these houses, perhaps the majority of them, rent for about $ 1 0 per month or $120 per year. The man who pays rent, therefore pays out month after month, with no prospect but to keep up the same old grind con tinually, more than enough money to make him a home-owuer. If he should take out seven shares of stock in the B. & L. association which would cost him $7 per month for his installments, the association would lend him $700 with which to build him a home. The interest on this $700, payable monthly, would be $3.50 making a total monthly payment of $10.50. In 7 4 months his stock matures and he owns his home in fee simple and he has paid for it with rent money, If he continues to pay rent for V '. months, at the end of the time he will have paid out for-a house no better thau he could build for $700 the sum of $740, and he will not have a thing to ahow for it. 'The B. & L. association is the poor man’s friend. It is also the best field for the small and large in? vestor. It offers absolute safety for any amount, jarge or small, that au investor wants to put away and the interest paid is slightly above the regular six per cent. Interest begins from the very first payment and, since every cent of it is secur ed by first mortgage on valuable real estate therex is no chance for any one to lose. Charlotte owes, its supremacy to day to the B. & L. associations that have built thousands of homes and is building hundreds more every jb ir. The enviable condition of the building and loan field in that eity is in a large measure due to the life of S. Wittkowsky, the pioneer of the building and loan work in that section. To his untiring energy, to his undying zeal, to his beautiful character and exalted sense of duty to his fellowmen, the city of Charl otte owes an everlasting debt of gratitude. . Not only in Charlotte but in many other towns in North and South Carolina is his name revered ever ready as he was to lend ahelp- ing haud to a fellow-laborer, to make suggestions, give advice, help organize or to answer any call that might be made upon him for the furtherance of this great work. Many are the building and loan as sociations that owe their conception their growth, their usefulness to the correct use of the methods and principles gained through his ad vice. Mr. Wittkowsky in his lectures, used to tell something of the way the building and loan associations were encouraged in Charlotte. The head of a business wonld induce each of bis clerks to take out a few shares. The man seeking employ mentfout d hiniBelf confronted with this question; “ Do yon carry Btock in the building and loanl” I f this question was announced in the af- firmaiive he was investigated and if the treasurer of the association reported that he paid up promptly he stood a good chance of landing the job. The man who carried no building and loan stock but relied on letters of recommendation, which nearly any one can get, was usually overlooked entirely. More Bibical !Matter. It is a well known fact, and has never been questioned, that when yon behold the starry heavens dur ing the night as they pretent them selves filled with beauty situated at an immense distance from the earth, many of them appearing very small, the cause of which is owing to the disfance from the earth, all of which is compelled to leave the greatest impression upon the minds of all the intelligence that there iB an Omnipotent Being whose existence has no beginning, existing in the universe, . possess ing unlimited power, and who reigns oyer hia subjects living up on every continent in all the worlds which are in existence in the uni verse. How foolish and unwise it is when you well know the require' ments from Him who rebuked Adam for disobedience, and which brought death and destruction up on the children of men, why you do not live nearer the requirements of Him who took Elijah and Enoch to heaven alive, when you are well informed what you are required to do in order that you can have sue cess to live with the angels and the purest of the pure, a life everlast ing, recognizing your relatives who have had success in the better world, yea how becoming it is to fear God and to worship Him who seated all other beings, and as you are told by Christ to lay up your treasure in heaven not on earth, when you well know that at a very early period of time that you will have to go the way of all the earth, and the Son of God tells you how hardly they that haye riches shall'enter into the kingdom of God. He tells you it is easier for a "~^el to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. He told the rich farmer, who said he would tear down his old buildings and put up new buildings in order to store up his produets so that he might live long and be happy, that this night thy soul shall be requir ed of thee, and then what will be, come of your riches. Yea, poor Lazarus begged for the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table; re fused, he died and unto Abraham’s bosom he went. The rich man also died and in hell he. lifted up his eyes. Yea, If the words within the lids of the new testament be true, what will be. the consequences of those that are vastly rich in this world after they have made their departure. J. R. W illia m s. Good Roaids Train Coming to . Mocksville. Washington, D. C„ June 27,—The Southern Railway’s special "Road Improvement Train’will enter North Carolina on July IOth and will spend practically a month in the state, the detailed schedule for North Carolina points having been arranged up to August 4th. . The Southern Railway is operating this train in co-operation with the United States Office of Pu blic Roads for the purpose of giving impetus to the good roads movement and/also to give practical information to county road officials and to farm ers as to the best and most economic al methods of constructing good roads and keeping them in repair with the materials to be found in the various communities. ’ The train’s first stop in North Ca rolina will be at Marshall. The train will be in Mocksville, on Thursday, July 20th. from 10:18 a. m., to 12: p. m. At each stop free lecturles and' de monstrations will be conducted by two road experts of the United States Department of Agriculture, Messrs. D, H. Winslow and W. N. Fairbanks assisted by a. representative of the Land and Industrial Department of the Southern Railway. • Two coaches of the train are filled with exhibits, pictures and working models. The Southern Railway is handling this train without charge to the govern ment in "order that the people along its lines may have the opportunity to receive the valuable information as to road building which it affords. Every farmer and business man in DaviecountyshOuld be present on July 20th, and hear the speeches and examine the exhibits and photo graphs. Don’t forget the date,Thurs day, July 20th. - AU Things Working Together For Good. How can all things work togeth er for good! By the guidance of infinite chance! Wheels within wheels, and wheels playing into wheels, iu the vaet system of hu man circumstances, and all permit ted to move according to their own sweet will; is this the way in which all things work together for good to God’s saints? We know it can not be so. There must be a Divine Superintendent directing all, and He can direct only as He knows all thiDgs from the beginning to the end. Here is a cause, and yonder, twenty years hence, ss an effect. Unless God sees the relation of the two, how can he touch the keyboard of causes with His finger today, so as to effect our highest good a score of years in the future! And God works at long range. He is no day laborer, planning only from sunrise to sunset. We believe that our pi ous grandmothers, praying and studying their Bibles in the lonely cottage among the hills, had much to do in shaping our Christian char acters, A nd when now we pray for success upon our labors we seem to hear the lord saying, ‘‘Before thou calleBt, I answered and before thou knewest me, I girded thee.” And I don’t believe that God can make all things work together for good to His people unless he begins very far back and looks very far ahead. —Spurgeon. The Appalachian Exposition. The Southern Railway will make an attractive exhibit showing the agricultural, forest and mineral re sources and manufactured products of the-Southeast at the Appalach ian Exposition to be held at Enox ville, Tenn,, September 11 to Oc tober 1,1911. This exhibit will contain handsome displays of cere- ais, cotton, tobacco, legumes, vege tables, and fruits and especial at tention will be given to forest pro ducts and manufactured specimens of woods. The exhibit will 'show in a comprehensive way the possi bilities and advantages of the Southeastern states and should prove a powerful advertisemet for the section as large uumbers of vis itors from points outside the South east are expected at the exposition. At the same time the exhibit will serve the very useful purpose of calling the attention of the people of the South to the great opportu nities which exhist in their own country. This is a feature which the management of the Southern Railwaveonsiders of the highest importance as nothing can have a more powerful effect in discourag ing emigration from the South to less favored sections than a thor ough knowledge of the South and the many reasons which make this the best section of the country in. which to live and prosper.

A bill providing for Federal aid in the construction . of improved public highways was introduced by Senator Simmons. The bill carries an apropriation of $1 0 0 ,0 0 0 to be expended under the direction of the Secretary of Agriculture in con junction with the Postmaster gene ral for the improvement of roads to be selected by them over which ru ral letter carriers travel. The improvements are to be made for the purpose of ascertaining the amount of improvement and eco nomj which may be brought about there by in the rural postal service. It is provided that the local govern ments in any territory which may be selected shal.l appropriate for good work in that community and amount equal to what is expended by the government. The Secretary of Agriculture, in his report oh how the money has been expended is directed to give his recommen dations as to a plan for Federal co operation with the various states in road improvement. He is also directed to report on the feasibility of a tax on automobiles engaged in interstate travel. Much Honey Dew in the Mountains Boone Democrat. During the dry weather just over here has been the most wonderful amount of, honey dew in the moun tains that has been seen here for many years—many of the leaves of the forest being literally coated with the sweet,,—honey-like sub stance. There are different theor ies about the formation of honey dew, one given by Webster being that it is deposited by an insect, but it seems to us if this 'were the case, the very atmosphere would have been-darkened.with them in Watauga'for the past few weeks. It has been claimed that bees gath er it and become very rich, but we have been unable-to. find a man who has ever seen them, gathering it. There is a heavy yield of hon ey here this season, but it is at tributed to the immense locust bloom which is.said to furnish a very rich harvest for the tireless little workers.

If Davie is such a 'bad county, as some would have us believe, why don’t the kickers get out. Four trains daily run through the county. Some people are natural born liars and it seems impossible for them to tell the truth when it would answer their purpose better. Davie is one of the best counties in North Carolina, notwithstanding the slurs cast on her fair name by emigrants who have landed here from other sec tions of the State. It is a sad fact, but true, neverthe less that some people cannot bear to see anyone prosper but themselves. The earth and its fulness thereof, doesn’t belong to any one man, party church or corporation, and every man should have a square deal. The Record is not the largest paper in the county—the Cooleemee Jour nal is twice its size, but when itcomes to county news, we are right on deck. The people realize this fact, which explains why we have double the cir culation of any other paper in the county. stump, knocking him to his knees. At this point, June ClaryhitSwisher with a pitchfork, one or both of the blows being sufficient to result in the death of Romus Swisher about 6 hours later. Zol Glary left imme diately after the fight and has not been apprehended up to this writing,, Sheriff Sprinkle went to the scene of the crime on Tuesday morning, and finding June Clary, artested and brought him to town and lodged him in jail. An inquest was held by Gor- oner Foster, over the body of the dead man, and the jury found that he came to his death by a blow or blows delivered by the two Clary boys. A preliminary hearing was given June Clary Thursday before E. E. Hunt and J. H. Coley, J. P’s., and Clary was bound over to court under a $3,000 bond. ‘ Attorneys A.' T. Grant, of this city, L. C. Caldwell and W. D. Turner, of Statesville, appeared for the plaintiff and Attor neys T. B. Bailey and E. L. Gaither appeared for the defendant. The Record reporter has heard so many reports that it seems almost impos sible to get the story right, and we shall not pass on the case until a Judge and jury has heard the case and passed on it. The killing is a deplorable affair and is to be regret ted by all good people. Clary is sail in jail, Sheriff Sprin kle having refused to recognize the bond. It is said a reward will be of fered for the arrest of Zol Clary. goods and notions. Sheffield Champions and RiverJIill Red Sox crossed bats on the former diamond last Saturday.

It has the reputation of being the best range money can buy. 2nd. It.not only has the reputation but IS the best range made, and we will prove this to you if you will let us. 3d. It is constructed of malleable iron, material you can’t beat, and ■ of Charcoal iron, material that resists rust 300 per cent greater than steel, is riveted together air tight., No heat escapes or eold air alters ‘ "the range, thus uses very little fuel to do perfect work. 4th. The reservoir alone is worth the price of range over .any other re servoir made. Itboils 15 gallons of water; is heated like a tea kettle, with pocket against left hand lining, and is movable and sets on a frame hence cannot wear out. When water gets too hot it can be moved away, * from fire. Majestic ranges use less fuel; heat more water—and heat it hotter; ' costs practically nothing for repairs; lasts three times as long: bakes better; easier to keep clean and gives better satisfaction than any other range on the'market. If you know positively that the above statements are true, wouldn’t you buy a Majestic at onco? . Come in Demonstration Week and -.We’ll Prove it to You...

Inveighing Against High-Heeled Shoes. Richmond Times-Dispatch. Many really nice girls wear high- heeled shoes in ignorance of how awfully bad such shoes are. Justice Howard, of the New York Supreme Court, told of the wickedness of such shoes in his court the other day. “High-heeled shoes are as heathenish as rings in the nose, or tattooing,” he said. “Such shoes are as barborons, as torturing and as destructive of health as the Chi nese wooden shoes, Both make un gainly and deformed feet. China is proud of one kind of deformed feet and we are proud of the other.’’ The judge did not send any one to jail for wearing high-heeled shoes, but he said that he was sorry in deed that he could not do it. He probably likewise regrets that be cannot incarcerate women who load up their heads with coils and moun tains of hair taken from the dead bodies of Chinamen. . Parson’s Poem a Gem. From Rev. H.

NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 19. 1911 NUMBER 2 Some Reflections. Whittier, in Lincoln Times. Now, If you all will hold your breath aod don’t take spasms, I’ll whittle you a few off-hand re flections. This is a fast age. It’s called the “commercial age.” We brag ou it as if that was the stuff. In fact, it’s the raoBt dangerous age in the world’s history. Es pecially, eince Noah entered the Ark. It’s true, there are more pro fessedly good people in the world than ever before. But it’s more true that there are three times more heathen and sinners in the world thau ever before in any half century. This is what the church says when it wants missions. But when it wants new and larger buildings, finer furnishings and abler pastors, they say, “the world is getting better.” But are the Church a'nr Christiaus better—is the Christian religion getting bet ter! No! Not it measured by the Bible standard. Earth and heaven are suffering for the lack of more serious, home and office reflections. AU Borne folks think of is money, fame, politics and easy jobs. They think the world owes them a living, That1B not true. They are indebt ed to the world. They owe it a life. Folks can’t think of death and hereafter and how to get bet ter and do good. Not got time. They roust be worldly and have good time. Church going is to much a habit for some, preachers as well as the people. Sohe puts in his time, he thinkB he’s done his duty. Some, however, try to “feed the flock” on the pure word. But they dare to condemn sin. In a town once, when Wed nesday night came, I was feeling “too hot Wiand tired to go to church,” Iwas at Ktsing on the porch in the cool, -r -jVVfagsJhe^iwMgirfreBs aU. began to ring, such “confusion” of sount& I never heard before. I wondered if it indicated “confusion of relig ious tongues,” confusion ot religi ons. Many attended, some to sing in the choir, sojne to show their new dress, Borne to see sweethearts some to catch sweethearts and some for one thing and some for another. I wondered what good would come of it. Next morning, I went among these people. Not a one said any thing about what was read, said, felt and done at his respective church. Nobody was converted, nobody got happy. All you could hear was the dry weather, cropB and more money for the town. If all these preachers had plead for some politician, that would have bean the talk next day. If the fire beU had rung and someone’s house had burned, everybody would be telling it. If some one would get burned it would be awful; business would almost close up shops in sad ness- But at church, if a dozen were saved from tbe fires of hell, nobody would be rejoicing—at least only a lew of them. which plays all day and all night, grinding out the same tunes' until in desperation holy men eurse un der their breath, or seek solaee in some distant spot where the mad dening strains of • ‘AU That I Ask Is Wve, ’’ “Love Me and the World Is Mine” and kindred rot eanuot enter. Now come we to the auto, the night riding species which speedB through the streets at a perilous pace, unbridled and nnmuffled. Added to the shrieking of a raucous horn, the loud whirr of tbe engines causes men to start from their beds as though pursued by a nightmare. This list of unnecessary noises wouldn’t be complete without that ancient plague of night, the “bar bershop quartette,” rendering the lates ballards of the day with that soulful interpretation which can be born only of soapsuds. But a- gainst such as these suffering hu manity can defend itself, for with out violating any law it can end the enforced concert with a pitcher ot water or a well directed bootjack. Other night noises there are too numerous to mention, but all inex cusable and uncalled for. We might give the final word, however to the night-crowing rooster, although his standing in the community and his inalienable right to crow when and where he pleases have been clearly defined by a duly constituted court of law. All of these annoyances exist, as we have said, because we have so little consideration for other people’s leelings and comfort, and until the end Of time it will ever be true that “man’s inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn.”—Forsyth News. he, “and started out to give out some tracts which my good friend, John Pulliah, of Baleigh, sent me. offered one to a man who prompt ly told mo that he had no use for such stuff except to light his pipe. I told him that he needed John Pullian’s tracts more than he need ed that dirty pipe he was smoking. Then he gave me a sounding cuss ing. “Then I came up here to the capitol where I found men taking ice out of a wagon and carrying it into a barroom, and again I was cuBsed out. Then I went back up the street to the IJnion Mission and as I was going in I found a boy turning three drunken men out of the side door of a hotel. A little further down I saw a policeman take another drunk from a hotel and cart him oft to the police sta tion. “In the Union Mission I found four or five drunken sots. Then I went out to the Industrial School and asked tbe superintendent to al low me to address the school, but instead he allowed a prieast to talk to those cbi'dren.” Unnecssary Noises. The world wouid indeed be brighter and better, and we would be nearing the dawn of that mille nium which looks so universal brotherhood, could we but free hu manity from the babel of unneces sary noises. In this one particular we are less considerate of others than we are along any other line. Take, first, the howling dog whose nightly concerts make good men irreljgious and wish that they had never been born. The owner of-such a dog has no consideration for his neighbors who vainly seek \ the slumber which is rightly theirs. Under such circumstances are men _ tempted to ttJ'e the lives of the of fending dogs, and while the slayer may perhaps be punished in this - world, we see a crown awaiting him -iu the next. Then there iB the •phonograph ,the cheap phonograph A Kentucky Example. Charlotte Observer. We take off our hat to the town of Henderson, Ky. The authorities there have considered the dog situ ation carefully and in consequence &tjve passed a city ordinance which makes. us in North Carolina envious “In the first place,” reports The Louisville Couvier-Journal, “ the ordinance makes it unlawful to keep a dog within the city limits with out paying a license fee of $1. As evidence that the fee has been paid the dog must wear a substantial collar with the license tag attached One section provides that it shall be unlawful to keep any dog which by barking annoys the neighbors or the police. Another prohibits dogs trom running's!; large. The mayor declares that dog killers will be appointed with instructions to kill all dogs running at largewith out a license tag and ’all that howl or bark or run after teams on the streets or that are in any way nusiance to, the public, whether with or without a tag.” It is this last clause which we desire particularly to commend.The rest of the ordinance may be dnpli caled—to a greater or less extent— in many cities iu which the dog is still a problem. Butifdogkillers —not dog-catchers be it noted— perform their office upon all curs which habitually make day as well a* night hideous with their noise, not only will the community enjoy a needed season of quiet but there is every reason to believe that the Pasteurinstitutes will become much less busy—a consummation which few will deny is devoutly to be wished. Didc Morse Finds Washington a Bad Place—He is “Cussed Ont.” Washington Correspondence Charlotte Chronicle. Bev. Dick Morse, well known in Oharlotte and throughout the State is In Washington. The Kev. Mr. Morse thinks Washington is the worst place, morally, that he Has .ever seen. He says that the men smoke and drink all day Sunday and that when he tells these erring Washingtonians about theirsins he is cussed out-, “I got up here-yesterday,” said A Good Motto. In a window of a Columbus store is this motto, “Come' in without knocking, and remain on the same terms.” That is good enough for every body to follow in all places. It is a good slogan for a city to adopt, and every man who follows ic will make a good-citizen. The man who moves into a towu with the determination to see nothing good in it, needs to take that slogan to heart and ponder it well. Knock ing a town barms everybody and does more to retard progress than any other one tbi'dj*. It is a good slogan for the home. The man ot the house may have had cares throughout the day; business may have been disappoint ing; customers may have been irritating, and he has perhaps been in the habit of taking out his ill humor on the family, In that case, he can remember the slogan: “Come iu without knocking, and remain on the same terms.” Come to think of it, there does not seen to be any place where the slogan may not be used to advantage, so let’s all adopt it. Largest Baby in tbe World. Mt. Airy, Ga., Dispatch, 26th. In James Adolph Cody two years and three months old. Mt. Airy boasts the biggest baby in the world. James'Adolph now weighs 122 pounds, and is growing every day. With the first indication of the abnormal growth, his parents con sulted a physician, and James Adolph was put under his care. AU efforts to keep the baby on a diet suitable for one of his age proved nnsuceessful to keep him normal. Baby sleeps well and is perfectly healthy and strong. His appetite is like that of a grown person. For breakfast he will eat three and four large biscuits, with bacon gravy, butter and syrup; two glass es of buttermilk and two cups of coffee. Between breakfast and dinner he will eat two more biscuits with butler and syrup. For dinner he can eat a large plate of greens or any kind of ve getables, with boiled bacon, corn bread biscuit and a whole pie, if he can get it, with two glasses of buttermilk. Baby eats again between dinner and supper, and his supper is in keeping with breakfast and dinner! Shame on ’Em. The whole fabric of society is honey-combed with corruption and reeking with rottenness. Scandal and scads, rascality and riches, go hand in hand, and they are the on ly things that can open the gilded doors of society to a man or woman. If you waut to stand in with the 400 foolish fops of garrulons Goth am or any other center of snobdom you have got to be financially sound and morally rotton. Society never enquires how you got your dough or how you lost your decency, so long as your pocket book sags hea- -vily and you are willing to go the gaits. Maudling matrimony, pro- miscous paramours and doodlebug divorces constitute the sum of life in swelldom. Oh for a law that would compel tbe kid-glove kangaroos to get out of their gilded dens and follow i burly Bnckeye Binder in the blis tering sun! And, oh, for another law that would lift tbe be-jeweled and be-alimonied female fops out of their sealskin slippers and put them to plying a pair of greasy overalls across tbe corrugated bos om of a washboard!—Fool Killer. Listen Young Men. Boys, when you speak of your father don’t call him “tbe old man.” Of course you are older now than when you were taught to call him father. You ' are much smarter-than you were then, you are much more manly looking, your clothes fit you better, your hat has a modern shape and your hair is combed differently in short “flyer” than you were then. Your father has a year’s coat, a two-year-old hat and a vest of still older pattern. He can’t write such an elegant note as you can and all that but don’t call him “ the old man,” Call him father. For years he' has been rustling around to get things to gether, he has been held to the thorny path of uphill industry, and the brightest half of life has gone from him forever. But he loves you though he goes along without say ing much about it, therefore be not so ungrateful.—Ex. Not Sincere. If the democratic party does not believe in tariff for protection but simply for revenue.will some demo crat tell us why they propose to put a 20 percent tariff on raw wool and a higher tariff on woolen clothes and at the same time put food stuffs on the free list. Why not levy a uniform tariff on all articles of a like nature if the idea is simply to create revenue! The truth is every Democratic congressman fights low tariff on the products of his own district but is for a low tariff on the products of the other fellow’s products—they are protectionists in spots, but try to fool the people by saying tariff is robbery. Every tariff levied is protective according as the rate is high or low. Bepublicans say all industries should be protected in all sections ol the country.—Lincoln Times.

God’s plans and purposes for carrying on the work of his kingdom on earth is minimised while those of the world are substituted and preferred, regardless of the fact that God hath said, "The people shall be a peculiar people," “a light unto the world," “a city that is set upon a wu” . . „4th. It is a compromise with the world God's cause on the one hand, the ways of the world in the other; an effort to hold on to God with one hand and to the world with the other, which is an abomination unto God. Hewillnot have a divided heart, but says, “I would have you cold or hot," In fact, his plan as revealed from Genesis to revelation, is that his people are to be seperate and distinct from the world.5th. It proses the Lord as a beggar, begging for that that is his own. “Are not the earth on a thousand hills his." The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness there of.” “Freely ye have received, freely give," “God loveth a cheerful giver,” says Paul and which truth we can not fail to see in every instance from Abraham to the pres ent time. "Provide things honest in the sight of the Lord.” As Jesus sat over a- gainst the treasury watching the worshippers as they made their offering for tem ple expenses, he said the widow who sim ply gave her mite had given more than they all. The lesson in the parable of the leaves and fishes is thatthe littles in God’s hands is sufficient. He said, “bring them to me” and like as he break and multiplied till all the multitude was fed and each disciple *ook up a basket full of the fragments. So, one consecrated gift, in his hands, will be blessed and multiplied till his cause shall be satisfied and the giver have an abundant added unto himself. Simply give in faith, leaving the retults with god. The breaking and multiplying is to be done in his hands and not in ours. The fifty-cents, cost of the cake, is more precious in God’s sight, than the fifty-cents gained by the sale in the breaking in our hands. .6th. Every instance in the old Testa old Testament plans for building the Tab' emacle, Solomon’s temple, also when the Temple was repaired by Joash1 Hezekiah and Josiah, when-rebuilt after the return from captivity, together with all the teachings of the New Testament and if we find that barter forthechurch is right,lets have more of them, if not, then lets sweep them out of the back-door and bury them for ever; for we are repeatedly warned from Genesis to Revelations that God is displeased with wrong doing and will not bless his people unless they serve him with a whole heart and keep themselves unspotted from the world.

It has the reputation of being the best range money can buy. 2nd. It not only has the reputation but IS the best range made, and we will prove this to you if you will let us. 3d. It is constructed of malleable iron, material you can’t beat, and of Charcoal iron, material, that resists rust 300 per cent greater than steel, is riveted together air tight. No heat escapes or cold air enters the range, thus uses very little fuel to do perfect work. 4th. The reservoir alone is worth the price of range over any other re servoirmade. Itboils 15 gallons of water; is heated like a tea kettle, with pocket against left hand lining, and is movable and sets on a frame hence cannot wear out. When.water gets too hot i c can be moved away from fire. Majestic ranges use less fuel; heatmore Water—and heat it hotter; costs practically nothing for repairs; lasts three times as long; bakes better; easier to keep clean and gives better satisfaction than any other range on the market. Ifyouknowpositivelythat the above statements are true, wouldn’t you buy a Majestic at once? Come in Demonstration Week and We’ll Prove it to You.

Aaron Walker, of Newport, N. H., claims to be the unluckiest- man in the.world and supports his con tention with the following facts: When he was eighteen months old boiling tea scalded him severe ly. At the age of two he fell on a .hot stove and was terriblj burned. At eight he coasted into a stone wall and fractured his skull. At eleven a heavy fork was Btuck through his leg. At fourteen a scythe went through-, hia arm When twenty one he broke both his legs and an arm. The next- year a buzz saw got him then he fell from a horse and injur ed his spine. He fell off a roof at twenty-four and broke nearly every bone in one side of his body. At thirty, when cutting lumber, he drove an axe into his left foot, and two years later he fell from a load of hay and fractured his hip. The following year a man with whom he was digging, in a clay mine drove a pick axe into his head; then a freight train broke his leg at the hip. Next a stone Iif i ng apparatus collapsed and crushed him, a mowing machine cut his legs badly, and a fall from a hay loft caused him to buy a pair of crutches. On his sixtieth birthday he put a penny in a weighiug machine and the front of the machine fell and fractured his nose. Black Snake Man's Friend.' On a recent trip through the country in Clarendon county the writer was grieved to encounter along the roadway two kingsnakes and one black-anake dead. The killin^ftf those snakes was a small crime against mankind, for those two species of snakes are among the very best friends and benefactors that man has in nature about him. Their function and delight is to de stroy other snakes. A nice juicy rattler is “pie” to a blacksnake, and a rattle snake never gets by one of them if the black-snake can devise a way to prevent it—and he generally does. He is never so happy as when engaged in chewing the tail of a live water moccasin. It is alleged by some that the black snake spends part of his time trail ing or stalking other snakeB. If any reader of this has seen an encoun ter between either of the two above, species and another soit of snake they may well understand why it is highly desirable to protect them against destruction. They are sure and swift death to all other snakes. —News and Courier. Parson’s Poem a Gem. From Rev. H.

Those 1Id scientific, are held at SGtSTRAR, Raleigh, N. C, • ;vv Editors and Good Roads. A resolution adopted at the press convention in Lenoir should be printed iu every editorial page of the state, and become the keynote to the coming year’s campaign for progress The resolution was in troduced by the Editor of Southern Good Boadsl received a chorus of seconds and was adopted by a un animous vote. It reads as follows: Kesolved, That it is the sense of this association that the best use that can be made of the state’s con victs is in the construction and maintaining of public roads, pro vided their use does not interfere with the present system of working county convicts on the public roads. Resolved, That we, appreciating the need of engineering assistance to counties in the construction of their public roads, do most thor oughly endorse the furnishing of Buch engineering assistance to the counties. "Resolved, That we most heartily endorse federal aid to the states in pnblic road construction and do herewith urge our senators and members of congress to give their earnest and serious .consideration to legislation, such as the Simmons bill, looking toward federa' aid to states in the construction and main tenance of the pnblic highways. Resolved, That it is the sense of this .association that the state should appropriate out of the gene ral treasury for the construction and maintenance of the public Iiighwaysofthestate the sum of $1,000,000 annually. The foregoing contains the germ of genuine reform. The people will have to speak in loud tones before the legislators can hear them. VVe believe a vast majority of those who have studied the situation will favor putting the Btate’s convicts on the public roads instead of work ing them on farms in competition with honest labor; and we believe the returns would be far greater to the state in the end. The politician and most of the office seekers will tell you that the state penitentiary should not be molested in its farming operations —that it is a paying proposition, making a neat balance every year that goes into the treasury and that to that extent, the taxpayers are relieved. But we believe that, if the state convicts were put to work constructing pnblic highways through the counties, the results in actual cash would soon be far great er than the net, or gross, earnings from the state farms... There is nothing that creates and stimulates property values equal to good roads. Then the value and importance of having competent engineering assistance in laying out roads in their construction is too apparent to admit of argnment among men who have had experience in build ing roads. The question of federal aid is be ginning to loom quite large, but it is in the future. It can not be ex pected until the state is doing something substantial in .the way of helping itself. Wfe heartily favor the appropri ation of as large a Bnm as is pos sible, by the state, for the construc tion of good roads, and the levying of a special tax for the purpose, believing that no other investment can bring as large and quick re turns.

Union Republican. Frank Orr, of Charlotte, who is ro’ling a wheelbarrow from Atlan ta to New York, on a big wager, spent a night in the city, the past week, stopping at the 2 inzendorf. Up to this time he has averaged a little more than 20 miles per day. With fair weather he hopes to in crease his speedto 25 or 30. miles per day. If he reaches New York within the time limit he is to re ceive a bunch of money and the Atlanta man who put up the wager is also to roll the wheelbarrow back to Atlanta. Mr. Orr is traveling over the National Highway, He left here for Madison, N. C. Speaking of Mr. Orr and his journey, the Monroe Enquirer thus soliloquises and with a good deal of truth. “Mr. Frank Orr, of Charlotte, is pushing a wheelbarrow. That’s a news item in the Charlotte Chron icle. Thousands of other men all over the land are pushing wheel barrows, some of them steady on the job and others now and then. To get your name in the papers in connection with wheelbarrow push ing yon must not take one of them out in the barn and use it, haul dirt in it Or do any of those ordi nary useful stunts with it. But if you will do like Mr, F. Orr, of Charlotte, is doing you will get your name in the papers for he left Charlotte for New York City last Monday afternoon pushing a wheel barrow and he is under contract to push it all the way. By doing that stunt Mr. Orr will get his name in the papers all along the route. Somehow or other we have a more friendly feeling for the fellow who is between the handles of a wheel barrow pushing it in and out of the barn or rolling ,dirt in it chan we have for the cross country wheel barrow pusher. Perhaps it is be cause we have played the part of the home barrow pusher so much that makes us have that fellow-feel ing for the plain, stay-at-home ma nipulator of the unfrilled farm wheel barrow.” Good Roads. Notwithstandingthenew inter est manifested in good roads there are comparatively few people who realize what a tremendous advan tage a system of good roads gives over bad roadB. Director Page of the United States Public Roads Office calculates that if every state would improve its main highways to the highest point of efficiency it would result in the saving of be tween $500,000,000 and $1,000,000- 000 annually in the United States. It is estimated that this enormous saving could be affected if only twenty percentof the existing roads were thoroughly improved. There are noT about 2,150,000 miles of road. Two hundred thousand, or about nine per cent are improved in some manner. To bring the number of miles up to twenty per cent it will be necessary to improve about 250,000 more miles. While this task may seem stupendous it is estimated that it can be accom plished by a probable average ex penditure of §7,COO a mile, or $1,- 750,000,000 for a fairly complete system. Whenitcomes to the improve ment of roads, there should not be neglected the importance of main - taining the roads iu good order, and in this matter attention should be given to the regulation of -the tires of vehicles. Narrow ties cut up a .road and for thi better pro tection of roads it would be well to do with the wheels as with the roadbed.

Now, who is in control of Dem ocracy? Bryan has shown his teeth and Kern has shown his whiskers. The Raleigh Evening Times is trying to boost the Harmon boom in this State. But the boom won’t boost. It might prove interesting read ing if the Democratic politicians would explain why all the Democ ratic counties are in debt. An exchange is advertising for a Democrat who has never been known to kick. Our contemporary is waiting some valuable advertis ing space. One of the editors of the Cataw ba County News claims to have eat en eighteen slices of pie at one sit ting. But it will be remembered that the aforesaid editor is a Dem ocrat. William J. Bryan says the De mocratic House is giving the people only a half a loaf. If the Demo crats should get control of the Sen ate also, many of the people would not get any bread at all. TheDemocraHc politicians are trying to hit the farmer “going and coming.” Tbey would pass laws that would reduce the pri<8T he would receive for hia products, and at the same time are raising his taxes to take from him still more of his money.

Back to the South. Nothing illustrates the enterprise of the South more than that activi ty of its boards of trade, its railway industrial bureaus and other such organizations created to show the enormous business advantages that are open in that part of the Union. It is well known that no other part of civilization has made greater progress in the last 20 years than that which in a generally way call ed the South. The revelation of its wealth and resources, the experience of its us ual delightful climate, the variety of soil, the treasures of iron and coal as well as of other minerals, have become known, to the effect that by the coldest of figures, the South has made greater gain than any other eqnal area of territory in the range of civilization. The special points made by many of the articles sent out is that Sou thern people who have been else where are coming back South be cause they find there attractions which long lay unnoticed and they are also bringing back with" them many others from all parts of the country ,introducing a greatly need ed capital and labor to develop the measureless resources of that splen did land .—Buffalo (N.

Gaither, of the Harmony community, was totally destroyed by fire Saturday night and abont 350 bushels of grain stored in the barn was burn ed along with it. The lossis about $800 with no insurance. The fire was discovered about 9 o’clock by Mrs. Gaither, who immediately gave the alarm and the men about the place reached the bnilding in time to save the live stock and ve hicles. The fire is supposed to have been caused by spontaneous com* bustipn. The teamsters had just finished' hauling the wheat -and oats from the fields and at the point where the fire started wheat had; been stored in a stable from - the grppnd to the roof of the building. -Landmajrkl 11th.

THE NEWS FROM OUR COUNTRY CORRESPONDENTS What the People all Over the County are Doing There are no better people in North Carolina than the Davie county peo ple. When they wake up and secure good roads, this will be the garden spot of the State. Simmons. Aycock, Kitchin, 'and Clark are all scrambling- for a seat, in the United States Senate. Three or four of them are going to get left. Davie county has harvested a fine wheat crop this year, and corn and cotton are looking fine, despite the dry weather. The only crop that will be short is tobacco The farmers are going to live for another year and have sime cash to jingle in their pockets besides. Good Roads Train Here. TheSonthern Railway good roads train arrived in Mocksville about 10:20 Thursday morniug. Owing to the busy season in the country, only a small number ol farmers were present, together with a few of the townspeople. The train con sisted of three cars, one for the gen tlemen in charge of the train, one for the lectures and one filled with models of good roads and road working machinery in operation. Many photographs, showing both good and bad roads, adorned this car. Sections of roads under con struction, including clay roads, saud clay roads and the best bitu minous macadam roads were also attown. The split log drag was al so in evidence, showing what can be accomplished with them wheu used persistently. There were al so models of rock crushers and screens in operation and a road- roller rolling it road, which was op erated by electricity. A free il lustrated lecture was given, show ing the importance of good roads aud the best methods of building ihern. The lecturer stated that Georgia was bui’ding ten miles of good roads every day, and coming closer home, he said that the peo ple in this State were becoming en thusiastic over good roads, citing the wise step that' Iredell county has just taken in issuing §400,000 in bonds for good roads, He re ferred also to the enthusiastic re ception tendered the good roads train at Taylorsville Wednesday, where more than two thousand, people were present to see and hear the plans and methods of better mails discussed. A representative of the Land and Industrial Depart ment of the Southern Railway- ac companies the train, in connection with D. N. WinBlow and W. N. Fairbanks, superintendents of road construction of the United States Department of Agriculture.

The train left here at 12:30. ,Thursday or Winston--Salem. Politics and Religion. Colonel Bryan and Governor enn seem to run pretty much in he same groove. At Chester, "S. I., yesterday afternoon, Colonel 'ryan addressed a prayer-meeting ervice in the Presbyterian church, peaking on the Bible. It would :e shameful to question his good intentions, but the idea of a poli tician preaching from the Bible never did set well with us, and never will.

Shooting Affray at Clemmons. Union Republican, 20th. An unfortunate shooting affair occurred at Clemmons, this county, as the result of a dispute over a piece of land which the contracting parties wished to buy and as a sequel Mr. R. S. Craver was shot in the back by Joe Tise and the latter has been committed to jail until Mr. Craver is able to attend a preliminary hearing. It is re ported that Mr. Craver had phoned to Winston-Salem to some one about the land, which Mr. Tise also wanted. Mr. Craver started to this city early Monday momihg and as he was passing Mr. Tise’s residence, Mr Tise, it is alleged, started across the road toward him with a piece of wood in his hand. Mr. Tise claims that Mr. Craver drew a pistol. At any rate, Mr. Tise turned, harried into his house, got his shot gun, and as Mr. Craver was walking back toward his own home, it is .said Mr. Tise shot him. Thegnn was loaded with shot and the wound .Inilicted is not considered serious. How Davie Got Its Name. Editor Record :—It miaht be of interest to many people to knowhow Davie county got its name, and for whom it was named. I may be wrong, but Ibeiieve it was named in honor of Wm. R. Davie. He was born in Egremont, Eng land, and came to this country in 1763, graduated from Princeton, N. J., in 1776, In 1779 he raised a troop of dragoons, of which he was lieu tenant. He was promoted to bri gade major, and afterwards to Col onel Commandant N. C. State Cay- alry, and was in charge of the com missary department under General Greene. He served several terms in the Legislature, was a member from North Carolina to the Constitutional Convention, and was instrumental in founding the University of North Carolina. In 1799 he was elected Governor of North Carolina, and soon after was one of the embassy to the French government, which got the convention of 1800. He was ap pointed by President Jefferson to make treaty with the Tuscarora In dians. If Davie was named for the one mentioned above, then ail of us can be proud we were born in Davie county, I send it for publication in The Record, feeling; assured your readers will appreciate it. I have simply quoted history. J. F. Click . [We are glad to have the above article from Mr. Click, and trust that he will furnish us more articles in the near future. Mr. Click . is a native of Davie county, having lived here until about 1883, when he loca ted in Hickory. There is one error in his article above which states that Wm. R. Davie was governor of N. G. ,'in 1799. Davie was never gover nor of this State. Benjamin Wil liams was elected governor by the General Assembly in 1799. Editor .] Miss Pearl Cornett, of California who visited in tnis city last summer, the guest of Miss Margaret Bell, writing to friends here, says thst while she and a party of friends were horseback riding through the Yose- mite Valley last week, nine out of the f jurteeh horses were struck by light ning and killed, while none of the riders were injured in the. least. The many friends of Miss CornettwilI be glad tp learn of her meraculous es cape. Natioaal Highway Throagk Davie. Statesville Landmark. Speaking of national highways, Slate highways, ctc., Statesville people who have looked into the matter fiiKi that if a road were bnilt direct from Winston to States ville via Mocksville, travelers on the national highway from New York to Atlanta, could save a dis tance of 28 miles by coming direct from Winstiu to Statesville and going from here to Charlotte. The distance from Winston to Statesville is 50 miles and travel ers over the national highway from the North, who desired to go to Asheville, would save 56 miles by coming direct from Winston to Statesville instead ’ of going via Gieeusboro and Salisbury. 1 At Statesville they could go via New ton and Hickory to Asheville; or, if the line from Lenoir to Taylors ville aud Statesville; now being ag itated, is built, they could have ehoice of routes, and could go via Taylorsville, Lenoir and Blowing Rock to Asheville. If Davie couuty people will get busy aud build a line across that county, it is almost certain that the route from Winaton to States ville could be built; and if Cald well aiid Alexander people will get the line from Lenoir to the Irfedell line the route from Statesville to Lenoir will be bnilt. [We would be mighty glad to have the national and State high way pass through our county, and we believe the people of Davie will do all they can to secure it. The hands of the County Commissioners are tied, so far as good roads go, until the next legislature meets, for we have a crazy law for this county, which prohibits the Com missioners spending more than 1500 per year on building or im proving roads. We don’t know what it would cost to build a good road from Hall’s ferry to County Tone, a distance of about 20 miles, but with the roads as they are now it would take several years under the present law. But. the roads of Daviecountyare no worse than parts of Davidson and Itowan coun ty roads. We would gladly wel come the highways through oar couuty. Editor .] TherRecord is but 50 cents a year.

In the death of William A .Cart- ner, of Kappa, which occurred Monday evening of last week, men tion of which was made in opr pa per last Tuesday, the county looses Oiie of her best and most inflnental citizens, the church one of her best workers and the community a kind and generous neighbor. The death of Mr. Cartner was sudden and un expected. He had been- in appa rently good health, and after eat ing supper he went outon the porch and sat down on a chair to rest. Iu a few minutes his daughter, hear ing a strange noise, stepped over to his chair and discovered that Iile was extinct. The funeral ser vices v. ere held at Salem church Tuesday afternoon at 4 o’clock, his pastor, Rev. A, J. Burrus, preach ing the funeral. Rev. W. B. Ket- chie, a longtime friend and neigh bor of Mr. Cartner also spoke on the noble traits of character, and goodness of the deceased. Mr. Car:* ner was 74 years, 10 months and 7 days old. Formany years he has been a member of Salem chnrch, acting for j.ears as Superintendent of theSunday school. Twodaugh« ters, Mrs. R. M. Ijames, of this city and Miss Mattie Cartner, who lived with her father,, and three sons, Messrs. J. F. and P. M. Cartner, of E. I, and A. A. Carti ner, of Iredell county, are left to mourn their loss. Many relatives and friends attended the fuue*. ra' and burial services, showing the high esteem in -which Mr. Cartner was held. A good man has indeed been taken from earth-, and transplanted to ' heaven. He will be missed in the church, the h me and the community in whii h he lived.

Swabe, a Confederate soldier and a good man. He is known through out that entire section .rs “Charlie Swabe, the printer’s friend.” He never came to town without bring ing the editor and the printer boys something good to eat from his gar den, orchard or nursery, and he al ways hod a kind word for every one with-whom he came in contact. He was always a welcome visitor. In the last issue of the Sevier County. Republican, we were pained to see these lines: “Mrs. C. A. Swabe, the highly esteemed wife of Gharles A. Swabe, the printer’s friend, died July 16th, aged 68 years.” The Record sympathizes with its old friend in the IossoFhis wife and helpmate. The editor knew Charlie S vabe, and will always remember him with the kindest feelings. It has been a pleas ure for us to send him a copy of The Record every week for the past four years. Would that Davie county were filled with such men as Charlie SwAbe1 “the printer’s friend.” The chair factory is closed down this week to give the boys a rest.

Two Kind of Robbers. A. few weeks ago Chicago had a •‘hot wave,” whereupon the ice kings raised the price of ice 33 per cent. Poor people couldn’t 'stand the raise and their • babies began dying a ta greater, rate than ever. The ice kings hadn’t leas ice than usual, but in fact, were stocked up fojjsa long hot season. No, they xaisod the price simply because peo ple had to have more ice or see their children die. Ice wasn’t real. Jy worth any more, only there a as a better chance to get more for it through unusual popular distiess. .The fellow who puts a pistol to your nose and in legitimate robber fashion gets your money or your life is a gentleman, and the icllow who steals pennies from yoni eye lids when you’re in your coffin, is a saint—comparatively.

Eeviewing the weather and the crops, the New Orleans Picayune says that during the past week weather conditions have been gene rally favorable in the south, as a whole, although there have been complaints of insufficient moisture in Texas and Oklahoma. The Tex as rainfall has beeu light for some time past, and,although practically all parts of the state have received showers, the rain has been far from general, and as a rule insufficient, although the cotton crop has not as yet suffered any important in j ury owing to the fine rains had during April, which have enabled cotton, proverbially a dry weather plant, to continue to develop satisfactori ly. Outside of the western section of the cotton belt the rainfall has been ample, .and the cotton crop. has progressed finely. At the pres ent time the crop is probably in the best condition known in years, and with average conditions from now on there is every reason to ex pect a record crop, as acreage is much larger than ever before and there has been no abandonment of acreage owing to weeds or other causes.—Charlotte Cbroniqe.

A Chicago lawyer tells us of a newly elected squire in Minnesota who was mveh elated by his- hon ors, but not quite sure that he could sustain them gracefully. So for some time previous to his as sumption of the office he.hung about the courts to get a tip now and then as to legal procedure. One phase struck him particularly, and it was not long before he had an oppor tunity to utlize it. W hen Bitting in judgement on his first case, the testimony was all in and the arguments made, his honor cleared his throat and deliv ered himself of the following: _ “The court takes this case under advisement until r.ext Thursday morning, when it will render a ver diet in favor of the defendant,”— Lippincott’s. The OLly honest and honorable way to stop a newspaper is to step into the office and pay up arrear ages, get a receipt and have your name marked off the list. To fire yopr .paper back at the publisher, marked “ refused” when you owe six months or six years and never go near the office, is not only dis reputable but superlatively dishon est as well, says one of our exchan- Purpose of Newspaper. It is the purpose of newspapers to build up and not tair down; to pass unnoticed many things that would hurt citizens and the coun try.

A few days ago Mr. J. H. Yatts the young white man of Ghadbourn who was bitten by a water rattier some four weeks ago, came to Whiteville. He is still suffering from the effects of the poison and not able to wear a shoe on the foot where the snake had bitten him, In conversation with the Star’s cor respondent, Mr. Yatej Stated that it is a mistaken idea that .a snake cannot strike you while in water, for he was bitten on the toe while s doing in water nearly waist deep. When the snake struck him it felt like a kitten had scratched his toe but the thought occurred to him that he bad been bitten by a snake. Wading to the land, he found cling ing to bis toe a spotted snake as big around as a man’s arm, and its fang had sank so deep into Iiis toe thatthe reptile had to be torn loose. In a few moments he lost conscious ness, and it was fonr days before he knew anything. He then suf fered untold agony.— Wilmington Star. No man has a right to expect his wife to be a good cook unless he is that kind of a provider. We owe it to the community in which we live to do everything we can in every way possible that will be to its advantage. Our neigh bor’s prosperity means a great deal more to us than someone’s who lives elsewhere. We should bear this in mind in buying our goods. We can afford to pay our home man a firm price for his wares rather than send our money away, knowing as we do that every dollar expended with our owu citizens will help in sustaining our schools, chnrches and public inseitntions* It pays richly to patronize home industry. —The Editor’s Friend. “The SiBy Season.” Columbia State: “How any sen sible man can spoon over the tele phone is more than we can compre hend.” In many cases, “distance lendsenchautment.” Thereis many a homely girl with a sweet -voice. —Montgomery Advertiser.
