Jt is an impossible task. I t has 1)een 11 icd a thousand times and a thousand times has failed. ,Tust n0\v in our public affairs our repre senhttires are realizing the truth n.e are here trying to enforce. The public cannot be pleased because the public have various and sun dry opinions. One community wants one thing and auother wants something else. The same repre sentative of both is thus in a strait betwixt two and the only thing he can possible do is to please one of the fictions and let the other go. What is his duty in this m atter! He should not try to please either, but to do the thiug that w ill best serve both. H e should carefully examine into the business, and weigh the argument from - every standpoint; then shut bis eyes and follow his conscience. Tt is not an easy thing to do, but it is the right thing, and in the long run it w ill prove to be the popular thing. But the politicians are not the only ones to whom this admonition ap plies. V>'c have known preacher's who strove with all their m ight to please Uieir congregations, especial ly the leading and influeusial a~ rnong them, and we have never seen such a preacher hold his own yet. The very people he tried so hard to please became disgusted with him, and were as ready as the rest to try a new man at the first opportunity. The preacher of all men, must ‘‘hew to the line and let the chips fall where they m ay.” He must declare the whole counsel of God, and if that counsel cuts across his biggest official, he must let it cut aud turn neither to the right or to the left. I f the said big man has any sense he w ill ac knowledge his error and stand by the preacher; if he is a fool neither his favor or his blame should count for anything. The newspaper m at who is spending his tim e trying to find out the direction of the popular current is as near nobody as any body outside of an insane asylum gets to be in this w orld. H is p a per represents nothing in the world except a sheet of w hite paper. What he puts on it only spoils its whiteness. H e is as sure to go the wall as a rock, patched into the air, is to fall. I f he turns pale every time he gets a sharp letter ciiticising his course, he had better quit and hunt a job at something that requires no manhood. I t is the business of a clown to please the public, but he is paid to play the buffoon; it is a p ity for a man to play it without pay, for he w ill soon find that the public are grow ing weary of his monotonous drivelling, and his resignation w ill be called lor.— C harity and C h il dren. Do You Want Tbe Job? W illis L. Moore, the weather wan, has been ousted by President Wilson. It is not known who w ill succeed Moore but the weather w ill go on just the same -regardless^ of the political scrapping at W ashing ton over the weather office. Howi fortunate! You doubtless remem ber the old story about how the jackass got into office. The story goes something about lik e this: A certain king found th at a peasant had a jackass that brayed longer and lounder than-usual ju s t before a rain. Theking ordered tne ja c k ass taken to the royal stables and kept so that the king and his court would know when it was going to tain and that they m ight be warn ed of approaching bad weather and hot be caught out in a storm when they went on jaunts-across-- coun try. The jaekass was taken to the royal stables and took the position of weather forecaster. I t wspa_.the first time a jackass was put in office, and since that tim e many a jackass has tried to get an office.' P . S.— They want a weather man in W ash- jhgton. Do you want the job?— Monroe Enquirer. • - ■ A Sermon on Love. T E X T ;— -‘In the spring, the youug man’s tancy turns tc thoughts of Sally A n n .” Yes, children, that's whatTenny- son says, and I reckon Tennyson knows w hat he is talking about. I looked out toward the east this morning and. saw Spring coming over the h ill w ith a rose in her hair, and a smile on her face that would m elt a polar iceberg. A m tth a t reminded me that if I had anything to say to the tender hearted lads and lassies I had bet ter say it now— better take tiie young things by the hand in a. fatherly sort of way and give them some advice before, it is too late. Spring, w ith a ll her far-famed loveliness and beauty, is a danger ous proposition. She isth eq neen of a ll the sire us and the mammy of broken hearts. H er smile is a snare and a delusion, aud danger lurks in her song. W hen the fatal virus of Spring gets to galloping around in a young fellow’s blood-— better look out! There is going, to be the devil to pay pretty soon,- Ten times out of nine -the stuff w ill settle around the fellow’s heart and cause him to act worse than a love sick gander at a poultry show. Especially is this the case if there happens to be a pretty g irl some where in sight. Here is a reliable form ula for making a love sick fool: Take two parts gentle spring, one part gosling boy and one part pretty g irl; m ix, and set out in the moon lig h t. That's a ll. I t w ill make one fool certain, and often makes two. But I wouldn’t advise you young ’ uns to try the experim ent. I t ’s dangerous. -Love sickness is a ter rible disease, but there are three cures for it— time, death and m atri mony. Take your choice. I f you can’t get your choice, take some thing else. One thing is as good as another, and a blamed sight better. Love is sorter lik e the itch— more folks have it than are w illing to own up to it. B ut if you have never swallowed the love-germ and felt its toe nails digging holes in y o u r. gizzard, you’d better not want- it, A nd this is the tim e o f yffar, my dear goslings,, that you want to be careful. Spring tim e is already on us w ith both feet, and if you don’t want to get that aw ful disease call ed Love, you had better shut your eyes, plug up your ears, and hold your heart;w ith both, hands.— Fool K ille r. ' - A Great Truth. Most a ll taxes, except those col lected for.public improvements and public schools, come as a burden on the tax-payer, but all taxes spent for public roads and public schools are invested in a cause that pays handsome dividents to the people. Them oiieyspentforgood roads and good school should not be considered, but in the. light of an investment. The county that Tnvestsin good roads and good schools w ill soon be the most pros perous and w ill have less of. the burdensome taxes to pay, and w ill have more money to pay such taxes w ith, The farm er that spends more to im prove his farm becomes more prosperous than his'neighbor who fails to improve his farm .

When a merchant casts a vote a- gainst the bond issue for good roads, he is doing all in his power to get the farmer to go to some other town to do his trading. Encburagir.g reports are coming in from all sections of the county in regard to the bond issue. . It is_ now claimed that Galahaln township is going to do the handsome thing and give the bond issue a big majority. When you hear a fellow yejling that he is in favor of good roads, but wants to build them by special tax ation, you can place him in the column along with those who are opposed to good roads and the up building of the county. It the man who pays $500 a year taxes can afford to vote for the good roads bonds, it seems to us that the small taxpayer whose taxes will not amount to more than $5 or $10 per •year would be foolish to vote against jt. No man in the county who wants to see the town and county prosper, can affords to vote against the bond issue for good roads. To defeat this good roads bill, would be taking a step in the wrong direction, and would place our county back at least twenty years. Good roads bring good people to a county. they increase the value of property, they help you to keep your stock fat, they save you blacksmith bills, they assist you in getting your lumber, grain and cotton to market, and help you in a thousand other ways. This being tlie case, it doesn’t seem that you would vote against them. GOOD ROADS MEETING. A good roads meeting was held in the court house Monday at 2 o’eloek. The meeting was opened by President.

He loves little children too small to swat, ; And keeps constant vigil by their cradle or cot.. . Screen doors and screen windows he laughs at in glee.

W heii it comes to politics it JS simply impossible for him to leave any part of the bossing to j to others of his party.

W hen Joseph Benu & Sons close the doors of their big factories about 1,500 em ployes will be affected and one of the leading concerns of the State will caase operation. Harrison Benn, the actim e head of the big factory, said yesterday in reply to questions that the notice was not intended as a blind ot any sort. He said that it meant just what it said— that the firm could not afford to operate in this coun try under the provisions of the new Tariff bill. The firm owns and runs large factories in England. Harrison Benn feels tnat if the T a riff b ill passes with the proposed provisions as to woolen goods it w ill be advis able to ship goods made in England into this country rather than at tempt to manufacture them here, Mr. Benn said that already quite a number of the employees had been laid off. ‘ ‘I pay m y em ployees in England 98 cents a cut for the same work that I am pay ing $3 a cut for here,” he said. “You can see for yoursel how im possible it would be to manufacture here.” Particularly Pointed. Clinton News Dispatch, . The pie brigade is now camping around Washington. We know of nothing that w ill hurt the country aB much as a ful fillment of Democratic promises. If you don’t think times are get ting hard suppose you step out and try to borrow a little money and then report what luck you had. Democratic papers say th at - the Wilson administration is going to carry out the Baltim ore platform . —Well it looks that way to us, and that’s what frightens us so much. We have a question to subm it to any Democrat in the U nited States who will answer it, and that is “what is the cause of the present tightness of money? ’— Now don’t all answer at once. It will be observed th at the price of cotton has been gradually drop ping ever since Congress convened on the 7th of A p ril, but of course tariff Legislation has not had any thing to do with it, has it M r. Democrat? - t~ At any rate its starting off about like it did under Cleveland, money is getting awful tight, th at’s the first step in bringing about a panic. —But Josephus has got his’h and what does he care about the rest of UBl Since we have had such good times under a high protective tariff, it ig hard for us to believe that we will have still better times onder a low tariff.

T ie ta riff revision measure which Presi dent W ilson has inspired and his lieutenants have introduced in the national House of .Eepresentatives w ill do more in ju ry to Southern industries than w ill be suffered by the industries of any other section. N ot only is sugar, which is one of the principal products o f Louisi ana, and is also produced in Texas, threatened w ith destruction* but rice, a leading product of Louisi ana, Texas and Arkansas and an im portant industry in Georgia and South Carolina, is menaced w ith a reduction of fifty per cen t,-in the ta riff duty, which has hitherto pro tected it from the competition of the rice grown by the pauper labor o f A sia. The great iron industry of Alabam a and Tennessee is men aced w ith a m aterial cut in the ta riff duties, and lum ber, which is such an im portant Southern in terest, is also to be hard h it. Last, but .not least, the greatest of a ll the industries of the South, cotton, is threatened w ith in ju ry through the opening of Am erican markets to foreign cotton goods by a m aterial reduction in the tariff on manufactured cloths. Accord ing to the convention o f cotton manufacturers, which was recently in session in W ashington, the pro posed cuts in the duties on cotton manufactures w ill cause immense depression in the m anufacturing industry, ■ and perm it European manufactured cloths to complete activity in Am erican markets.

How Editors Get R ick.; A fte r a great deal of w o rry: and study we have at last figured out how so many country editors get rich. -H ereisth esecret of their success. There is a child born in the neighborhood. The attending, physician gets $10. The editor gives the loud-lunged youngster ,a great send-off and gets $0. I t iS christened, and the m inister gets $5, and the editor gets $00.—^ lt grows and marries.

No wonder so many country editors get rich.v - i - . -.Wv — ft Injustice of tke Labor Tax on Roads Progressive Farmer. . Thei Progressive E arn er recently uttered A righteous protest; against the aneieht but not time-honored plan,—-for no length of tim e can honor Buch* a vicious ByBjtem— of confiscating a week’s work from poor men every year for the up keep of roadst whereas the only correct plon is to have each mail pay only-in proportion to What he owns. I t is an outrageous i system that takes a whole week’s lhbor or earnings annually from the poor man, who perhaps owns little • or nothing, and who needs the pro ceeds of his week’8 labor much more than does some business man earning $50 to $500 in a week’s tim e. I f the poor man earning $1 a day must give six days a year to the roads, then the righ man earn ing $25 a day should give $150 to the roads. W e a re glad to find that valiant good roads fighter, E ditor H . B . Y arner, of Southern Good Roads, speaking out on this subject as follows: “ There is nothing more Unjust than the labor tax. How long w ill our people submit to it? A n y law which taxes the poor man $9 per' year and the man w ith property, who is able to pay, the same, is absolutely unfair. There is noth ing tig h t about it. N ot far from where I live I have in mind now a man who owns horses, bugeies, and wagons and big farms, who does not even pay one cent towards the Upkeepjof the roads, because he is more than 45 years old. The chances are that he w ill continue to use the roads d aily for th irty years yet. Every tenant he has on fiis farms; w ith the exception of two or three, are Btall subject to the labor tax. They must work six days in the year on the roads. H e is worth many thousands of d ollars..

Would Feel Better. W e hear the impressions prevails that the present Underwood b ill is satisfactory to cotton-m anufactur ers,an d that few. protests- have been received by Congress from those interested. A canvass of the cotton manufacturers in and about Charlotte by no means reveals sat isfaction w ith the Underwood b ill. The manufacturers consider that the ta riff on cotton goods has been cut entirely too much tor the safety of the industry, which in turn re flects prosperity or adversity to the cotton farm er. T ake' away from the farm er the markets he gets in the U nited States from the mills as consumers of cotton, and also as consumers of perishable farm products, and- it w ill make the difference between hard times and prosperity. The cotton m ill people are hope fu l about the results of the tariff on the cotton trade, but most of them don’t seem to be very - san guine. They recognize th at the ta riff is o*ne of th e -items upon which the Democratic have pledg ed action ahd they have got to take it. But they would feel better if the cut was not bo deep.— Charlotte Observer. Ritise-ItA tH om e.

Will say that I stood up under the terrible strain fer about three days an’ didn’t git airy whack at the President or Joseefus Daniels fer a little private talk fer I knowed that the Presi dent had fallen a victim ov a bad case ov nervous transportating or somethin’, so I concluded, after slippin’ down to the Union depot an’ lookin’ at the thousands of offis-seekers who got off each train that I’d make another desperate effort to see the President or perish in the attempt. Someovthe fel Iers on the same business that I am give me the “distress sign” an’ we got to talkin’ on our fingers like them deaf an’ dumb children at the school fer deaf an’ dumb which iz located at Morganton, we havin’ become too hoarse to talk in the old way. I found that most ov them were havin’ jist sich experi ences az I wuz havin.’ Finally, az I wuz walkin’ along “0 ” street I- seed a man who owned an airahip, I got to talkin’ with him an’ he 'lowed that he could fix things up fer me. Sed he: “I hev an air ship here an’ fer ten dollars I’ll take you up in the air several hun dred feet an’ then we will sail a longuntil we git rite over the White House, inside-ov tho crowd collected arouud hit an’ then I’ll laud the airship an’ let you git out. an’ you kin make a quick ruBh fer the front door ov the White House.

If you hev the the proper cree- dentials, I will,” sed he. “ What air the proper credentials?” sed I. “A willin’ mind fer one thing,” Sel he. “ That machine won’t bust nor jump the track!” sed I.

DAD’S OLDEST GIRL. ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS. THAT ARE BEING ASKED REGARDING' THE BOND ISSUE; FOR GOOD ROADS IN DAVIE COUNTY. Edited by the Davie County Goodj Roads Association. . ' y QUESTION: What wiU $175,000 do for the roads of Davie county?ANSWER: Itwill build 175 miles of gravel, top soil and sand clay road of the best type.. QUESTION:; Willall of these bonds be issued at one time? v- - -ANSWER: No, $105,000 wiU be issued first and divided equally among the seven townships of the county, that is :$15,000 to go to each township and to be; expended there.. This means that 15 miles of sand clay road will be built in each and revery township in Dayiecountyout of the first issue of (105,0007. Afterthis is completed the remaining $70,000 in bonds will be issued and expended by the Board of Road Commissioners of Uavie county in- the several townships of the county where they deem best; in other words expended where it will do the most good to the greatest number.QUES riON: WhatwiUthisbondissue cost the county per year.ANSWER: It wifi cost $8,750 interest per year after all the bonds are issued, with an additional amount to create a sinking fund that will be sufficient to retire the bonds in 30 years.QUESTION: At the end of the thirty years will the county be in debt on account of the bond issue.ANSWEIR: No, the amonnt set aside eUch>year as a sinking fund, and loaned; at 5 per cent, interest; compounded an- nuaUy, wiU amount in 30 years . to the amount of the bonds and the ACT REQUIRES THAT THE COMMISSIONERS SHALL DO THIS.QUESTION: Will there beany labor tax?ANSWER: No, the passage of the bond issue abolishes the labor tax.QUESTION: Where will the improved roads tie built? ANSWER: In every township in the county. This is expressly, stated - in the bond issue’act. The GoOd Roads Com=' mission must distribute $15,000 to each township in the county out of the first $105,000 bond issue, and the remaining $70,000 will be divided among the- townships as the commission deems best— that is, expended where most needed to give the greatest goOd to the greatest1 number.QUESTION: Will the road tax raise sufficient money to pay the interest on ,the bonds, to'provide a sinking fund and keep up the roads?ANSWER-: On the basis of 1912 valuation the 33 1-3 cent property tax will raise $14,151.40, and the $i tax on the poll will raise $1,822, making a total of $15,973.40, a sufficient sum to pay the $8,750 interest, keep up all the roads in the county, and create a sinking' fund, which loaned at 6 per cent, and compounded annually will pay off every cent of bonded indebtedness in less than 20 years. QUESTION: WiU the building of good roads increase taxable values?; .ANSWER: If the experience of other counties counties count for anything, they certainly will. QUESTION: Can you give an example?ANSWER: Guilford county.- In 1904 Guilford county's total valuation ;of all property was $8,000,000. They voted ,a. $300,000 bond issue and built only 100 miles of macadam roads. Today the taxable values of Guilford county $26,000,000. Daviecounty will build 175 miles Of fine sand clay roads and her increase should be as rapid to say the least of it. 4QUESTION: Is this increase Of taxable ealues at the expense of the farmer?ANSWER: No, the Guilford county farmers' land is toddy assessed at. less than what land-in Davie county is assessed at, and Davie county has no good roads except what vnte buUt by private subscription. The Guilford county farmer has more property to payjtax on but his assessments have not been raised.QUESTION: What will it cost to keep up these roads after they are built? -ANSWER: The department of Good Roads of the U. S. Governmenthasstated that ths cost of keeping up good sand clay roads is $20 per mile per annum. Taking that ah a basis, and we tbinklbat amply sufficient, for the U. S. Government always makes liberal allowance for work done, Davie county's 175 miles of sand day roads would cost per annum to keep in first-class condition $3,500. Then ii our county never grew any richer, but remained at her present financial standing for all time to come, a tax on property of 10 cents to the $100 valuation, and a tax on each poll of 30 cents would raise $4,- ,590 per annum, a sum sufficient to keep the 175 mites of roads originally built In first ciass condition, and build one mile of new road every year.QUESTION: What will become of the dirt roads that are not surfaced with sand clay, gravel or top soil? ANSWER: Thedirtroads are to be kept in repair and given ihe agme close attentien that the surfaced roads are given. The bill expressly requires this,QUESTION: Do the members of the road commission draw big salaries? ANSWER: No, tbeir compensation is fixed in the bill at $2 per day and mileage, the same as the county commissioners receive, and the bill provides for five regular meetings per year, without there be urgent business and then a meeting may be called by giving 7 days public notice. QUEailON: Is there any politics it this bond isstiefor good roads? ' ANSWER: No The bill expressly provides that the Board of Road Commissioners shall be composed of seven members, fourof whom shall be appointed from the majority party and three from the minority party in Davie county.i And the man, be he Republican or Democrat, who would,make so gross a mistatement ai that on so important a matter as this, is not your friend, but an enemy to you and your children, world without end.QUESTION: What advantage is the bond issue to the farmer?ANSWER: It increases the income of his farm on account of-the good roads obtained by decreasing the cost of wear and' tear of harness, wagons and stock; by in- creaslngaheToad wqich he casfhtjul to arid from market; by decreasing the time it takes to haul this load thus making it possible for the farmer and his stock to give .more time to farm work and ht the same time keep the stock in better condition; by enabling the farmer to haul to town and market at any time during the year with a big load and thus enabling him to take advantage of - the highest prices for his produce; and by its being pyssible for the farmer to raise certain more profitable crops which can be mark eted over a good road and not over a bad road; by adding interest to the social life of the community, thereby making farm life attractive to the farmers growing boys and girls and girls and keeping them out of stores and factories; by making it possible for his children to attend school every day of the term without endanger ing their lives; bv adding much pleasure to' the life of his good wife, to whom good roads will be one of the greatest blessings, enabling her to visit her friends; regularly even in the dead of winter and smoothing her way to church, to neighborhood gatherings and to town.

Gounting six days work on the public roads each year from this number of men at $1 per day for the six days, we have $10,932. Addingone dollar on each man’s poll tax, and relieving him of the six days work, which is equal to per year, we save each man ? Subtracting $1,822 from $10,932, we have left $9,110. If we multiply this amount by 30 years, the length the bonds are to run, we find that we have a total of $273,300. Now let ussubtractfrom this sum. the $175,000 we are going to issue for bonds to build the roads, and we have left over and above the amount needed $98,000. Brethern, had you thought about the matter in this light. Do some figuring for your self, and you will find that it means money to every, man in the countjr to vote for this bond issue.'

Cures a Cold in One Day. 25c Can’t Get ’Em Together. Mr. Gardner, of Massachusetts, in a speech in-the Senate one day re cently, said: “Clumsy as it is. mis leading to the farmer as it is, incon sistent and unjust as are many of its provisions, this bill nevertheless is ah attempt to carry out the promises which you Democrats made to the people. There lies the difficulty— your promises conflict with each other. You cannot by one and the same tariff keep up the price which the farmer receives and yet reduce the price which his customer pays. You cannot fairly impose free trade on the fisherman and the shoemaker and the wool grower while you force them to buy supplies protected by a duty.” __________________ Heahh a Factor in Success.

Bryan, Jr.’s Milwaukee father-in-law, Alexander Berger, announces that his large milling com pany will quit business because it cannot undertake to produce flour from protected grain while outside flour comes in free.. Thus one fea ture of a loosely-framed, politically- motived tariff bill is hitting close-to home.—Charlotte Observer.' IYhooping up Collection Methods— An Old Story. State Journal. These whooping up collections that the preachers sometimes take were.thought by the writer to be of very late origin, but this seems to be a mistake, for the story of an old-time Methodist who objected to them has come up. This' old brother had sat for some time and listened to the preacher call out “ Who’ll be the next to give?” ui - til he had gotten tired, and he took a hand. “Look here, brother,’* he said,- “if you will hush and sit down I’ll pay the balance myself.” It seems that the old-time formula ^as this: “How much will you give to the Lord!’? and when the answer came, the preacher would ask, “and brother, will you send it by me?” In a meeting of this kinb on one occasion a well: known lawyer was present and a little in his cups. When the preacher asked how much he would give to the Lord, he replied promptly that he would give $25. “Will you" send it to the Lord by me?” asked the preacher. “Oh, no,” said the lawyer, “I’ll take it myself.- I’ll see him first.” To Cure a Cold In One Day Take IfAXATlVB BROMO Quinine.

MAY 28. 1913.NUMBER 47 A Big Attraction. C0I. Win. P. Cody, the pioneer pou.C express aider, buffalo hunter, trail maker, U. S. Army scout, Indian lighter, Civil War veteran, historian, friend of royalty, organ izer aud builder of American's proudest educational institution enlightening worlds permanent a- musements, a universal popular hero aud the original, only Buffalo uni, announces the fullcompletion ol Iiis ambition as the principal, active participant in the famous Bnlialo Bill Wild West and Pawnee HiU Far East arenic exhibitions. Tbia is not in any manner in tended to mean that the grand old scout has gone off into some seclud ed place to round out his long eventful career among friends in prosioc retirement, no indeed,. so long as the Colonel’s apparent ex cellent health—as indicated by his vigMOiis activities with the big ag gregation this season—will preserve him to us; and judging from the undimed light of his invincible eyes, his brilliant and inimitable address of greeting, the iesonauce of his magnetic voice, the almost youthful appearance of his splendid physique with it’s dignified and easy bearing, the actual date of such a sincere public regret is a long time hence. The facts of his present tour and the nature of his eocial, active con nection wiih the organization, as obtained by the writer in a recent interview with Col. Cody are in aceordanco with a plan outlined at the outset of the continental tonr which began with the season of li>10 and covered the entire U. S., to every city, small and large,, where the show had ever, in former years visitoff. The great extent of this most cpmprehensive trip re quired three travelling seasons to encompass. During all the pro gress of this long journey, it was the aim to visit but once any single city and salute his friends ‘‘from the saddle”, as he now does from his private box or carriage. The determination of Col. Cody in this irrevocable action was prompted by the realization of his advancing years, and the wisdom of conserving as far as possible the wondrous vitality with which na ture had so generously endowed him, thereby prolonging the re maining usefulness of his lite, by devoting himself entirely to the immense detail attendant to the management of the famous exhibi lions he created and has fathered to iheir present gigantic propor tions, In taking up the executive reins, directing, addressing and greeting the public from his private box or carriage, Col. Cody begs to assare the people that the best interests of the exhibitions demanded the advent in the arena of his more youthful partner, Pawnee Bill, and says of him, “he is the very per sonification of tireless enthusiasm aud ambitious courage, his energy spreads itself over the vast arena and ignites that spark of instant' aneous and simultaneous response so essential to the vivid and con fusing action of the ponderous spectacles. Buffalo Bill’s only appearance in the arena, which of course his audiences virtually insist upon will be confined to his address of wel come or holding a reception for a lew friends, and this should prove an interesting partof the.program at every performance. Personally I consider it an evi dence of good citizenship and ■ the duty of every parent to enable their children to say, “I haveseen Buffalo Bill, grasped hia hand and listened to his sonoroni voiee at least once in his life time.’ ’ Long live Buffalo Bill, the grand old scout. This big show will exhibit in Winston-Salem on May 30tb. Lnke McLuke Says. Woman isn’t as much of a mya? tery as she used to be. Tou can see most of her in any department store window. If a man has a pain and a hun dred dollars he gets an operation lor appendicitis. If he has a pain and a dollar he gets a dose of castor oil. The Legislatures are butting in to every ehing and they might as- well revise the marriage ceremony by compelling the bride to promise' not to shoot her husband. The new corset that rnns from the waist to the knees will never become popular because it deprives a girl of that sassy swing when she walks. Women have more sense than men. As soon as the child gets big enough to walk, father wants to give away the baby buggy. But mother takes it and stows it away in the eeller. When there are three children in the family and another one comes along, the neighbor women treat father as though he had been caught setting fire to an orphan asylum. Talk' isn’t always cheap. Every now and then it costs a man the price of a woman’s board for the rest of her life. The goodsmissingin the holes in the peek-a boo waists is probab ly made up into the petticoats that they don’t wear. A girl would just as soon have red hair as any other kind if it wasn’t for the color. Aproudmotherof a day old baby will gaze at the little red iaced, stub nosed, bald headed bundle of flesh and tell you that it is the perfect image of its father. A woman may hang on to the world and the devil bnt she is al ways willing to renounce the flesh after she losses her waist line. When a woman buys a dog she wants his pedigree, but she isn’t that careful when she takes a hus band.—Ex. ShoiJd Hare a More Modem Sys tem of Collecting Taxes. Lenoir News. I Many of the eounty papers in all parts of the State are advertising long lists of delinquent taxpayers, which does not speak well fot the people in these times of prosperity. Mostpersonsjustnaturallydo not want to part with thieir- money -for taxes until they are absolutely compelled. Nearly all persons en gaged in any kind of business are using every dollar they can com mand in their business, and to those who have idle money our antiquated system of collecting taxes offers no inducements for them to pay taxes until the verj> last minute permitted by law. Most modern communities and StateB offer a discount of about one per cent per month for the payment of taxes just as soon as the books~are made out. Then th'ose"who pay say during the ftsrt month after tne books are ready get 2 per cent dis count, those who pay the second month get one per cent off, those pay the third month get their re ceipts at face value and those pay the fourth month pay one per cent interest additional and so on to the end of the sixth months, when pro* perty is advertised if the taxes are not paid. The sheriff or tax col lector is not required to go out in the county or district to collect the taxes but the taxpayer must take or send his money to - the ‘ office We think this method a vast .im provement over the present pres? ent system used in this part of the country and would work a (big sav ing in many ways.

Engine Frightened the Convict and He Never Came Back. Monroe Enquirer. Crow Brothers hire a number of convicts from the chain gang to run their fertilizr mixer during the rush season aud on last Tuesday morning while all hands were busy the fertilizer works, rear the cotton platform, the gasoline en gine “went to the bad” and'’when the rapid fire of the exhaust sound ed like the rattleof musketry and scrap iron began to fly the convicts and everybody else about the place m2de a break for a place of safety. One convict, Will Mayfield, color ed, who was sent up for 45 days for beating his way on a train, was so badly scared that he is running yet. Policemen, guards and others mounted horses and tried to catch up with the fleeing convict and tell him that the danger was all over and that it would be perfectly sate for him to return-to his work, but they could not overtake him. We do not blame that convict forgoing ‘your way” when a gasoline engine began to tear. its ‘‘innards” out. The Enquirer man was right near an engine once that ran wild , and tore itself apart and hurled pieces of its anatomy about like they were shot out of a gun, and he ran, he did, and the only reason he ran was that he could not fly. We never could see that there is any bravery in standing and letting a fool gasoline engine throw scraps of itself at you. The Parcel Post Stamps. Theparcelpoststamps do not bear the pictures of statesmen -or .warriors like, the ordinary letter imps, but the, new stamps have pictures of men at work. The one cent parcel post stamp has the pic ture of an office mail clerk, busy before a frame holding a large number of mail bags. The two- cent stamp has on it a city mail carrier delivering mail at a door. The four cent stamp represents a rural letter carrier with.his wagon out on the road. The five-cent stamp bears the cut of a mail train under full steam. The ten cent Btamp shriws a mail steamship ten der out at sea. The 15 cent stamp has on it the picture of a carrier delivering mail by automobile. The 20 cent stamp shows the most up to-date way of delivering mail; a flyingmachine in mid-air. The 25-cent Btamp shows an American manufacturing plant with all hands busy and trains with steam up ready to transport the output. Everythingshown on the parcel post.stajpps takes you away from the picture of men who are dead long ago and brings you face to face with men at work.—Monroe Enquirer. Getting Up Early. “!.reckon,” said the first farmer, “that I get up earlier than anybody in the neighborhood.' I am always up before 3 o’clock in the morning.” The second-farmer said he was al ways up before then and had part of the chores done. The first farmer thought he was a liar and decided to find out, A few mornings after he got at 2 o’clock and went to the neighbor’s house. He rapped on the ’back door and the woman of the house opened it. “Where is your husband?” asked the farmer, expecting to find his neighbor in bed. “He was around here early in the morning ” answered the wife, “but I don’t know where he is now/’ The Air Line Via Harmony.

At a meeting held here Satur day for the purpose of deciding on the permanent route of the road from Fairmount church to the Yadkin county line, the board of directors of the Statesville Air Line Bailroad Companyvoted in favor of what is known as the Harmony route.

Ten directors were present and five ballots were taken before the majority of one for the Harmony route resulted, the final vote being six/or Harmony and four for Wil liamsburg. 3 Townships in McDowell Vote Bonds for Good Roads. Marion, May 34.—The three larg est townships, in McDowell county de^grmined at the polls yesterday to have better roads. Marion town ship voted bonds of the amount of $50,000. This township has supports ed a chaingang for eight years and has 45 miles of graded roads, of which only six miles are hard sur faced. It is proposed that the great est amount of the bond issue shall be spent in hard surfacing the roads already graded. Theact providing for the bond .issue abolishes the' ehaing&ng upon the issuance of the bonds and the roads built by con tract. Nebo township, which joins Burke county, voted $10,000. Fivethousand of this amount will likely be spent to complete the eastern link of the central highway in -McDowell, the balance on the outlying roads in the township.

The man who is afraid to hear the truth preached in this world does not stand much chance of rising very far above his present plane in this world or the world to come. _ The blackberry or some other kind of a rain visited this section last week, which makes us safe in saying that the blackberry crop will not be so short as some of our enemies had hoped for. working for the bond issue, and five I of them are Democrats, which does, not sound much like it is a Republi can measure. The President of the Gooleemee Gotton Mill is not . figh.t- ing this issue, and we know many ^f the best people in the county are for it. Thereisaniggerin the wood pile somewhere, and if the readers of the Journal will keep their ear to the ground they may be.able to dis cover the nigger. Davie county is going to carry this bond issue by from 200 to 500 majority, provided the people do their duty. They are not afraid to trust this money.ih the hands of seven men, let them be Democrats, Republicans or Bull Moosers. . Honest men will be ap pointed to fill these positions, as the Journal will see by waiting a short time. We are disappointed in the editor of The Journal. No other paper in the State, so far as we know, has ever fought a public ne cessity, and used space to set a couh ty back for 25 or 50 years. What this country needs today is more preachers who are not afraid to preach Christ and Him crucified. The truth is mightier than the sword, and there are a lot of people wtio are afraid to hear it. Can any man who has had to travel the roads of Davie county in the winter months go to the polls Satur day and cast a ballot reading: “A- gainst Good Roads.” It does not seem possible. We are reliably informed that the Cooleemee Journal has changed edi tors, and that the editorial editor lives at Jerusalem. We knew Editor Sell wasn’t the daddy of the articles that appeared in his sheet last week Thereis but three days left in which to work for the bond issue, It. is conceded by these who are well posted that the bonds will carry by a.good majority, but over-confidence has lost many a battle. Keep busy during the remaining few days. The speakers who have been canvassing the county in the interest of good roads, tell us that they have been greeted by large and enthusi astic crowds, and that the best peo ple in' the county are in hearty sym pathy with them. or_ Whether the bond issue wins looses. The Record feels that it has fought a good fight, it has done what it could and has nothing to take back. The campaign has been car ried on a high plane, and while some of our friends have differed with us. yet we have no ill feelings against any one. In his speech here Saturday after noon, on the bond issue, Editor Var ner said he knew, of but two papers in North Carolina that were against good roads. One of them a Republi can paper, the other a Democratic paper, the latter being the Goolee- mee Journal. He said these two pa- pess should consolidate. He said he was ashamed of both of them. The Good Roads' bill for Davie county says that the tax rate on pro perty cannot be raised to more than 335 cents on the hundred • dollars, and thatthe'poll tax cannot be raised more than $1. The Gooleemee Jour nal misrepresents the facts in its issue of last week, and even a way faring man, though a fool, will know tflat The Journal don’t know what it is talking about. We met a man the other day and asked him how he stood on the Road Issue? He answered: “CM I am in favor of good roads, but I am op posed to bonds.” Whereupon we replied, “We differ entirely, we are in favor of a bond issue, but are op posed to good roads.” He said, “The Devil you say. What sense* is there in that position?” We replied, Exactly the same sense in our posi tion that there is in yours, but there is no?sense in either position.” HOW LONG, 0 LORD! The Gooleemee Journal comes out against the bond issue. We are sur prised at Editor Sell. The editorials iti.his last issue against this great issue do not sound like his produc tions, and we cannot but believe that some one has sneaked into his sanc tum while he slept and - perpetrated this foul deed. Ithas been but a eUo^t time since we talked with her Sjell, and he apppeared to f heartily in favor of the good ^roads bill at that time as any one in thecounty. Why this sudden change? Editor Sell in his editorials has tried to ring petty politics into this meas ure, when every man in the county who has sense enough to vote knows that there is no politics in it. There are six speakers out on the sturrip . . I-' V ' Speaking at Davie Academy. There will be a good roads meeting at Davie Academy Friday night. May. 30th. Prominent speakers from Iredell county, will be present to address the voters. Everybody invited. The Southern Railway Company. .For Good Roads. : The Southern Railway Company is one of the two largest taxpayers in Davie county, and still it is not a resident of the county and on that account cannot be benefited to the same extent that a citizen of the county will be benefited. This is what President W. W Finley, of th£ Southern Railway Company, has to say concerning good roads in speech recently delivered before the Chamber of Commerce, of New Haven, Conn. • He says: “The county highway as, the road over which farm products move in the first stage of their movement to the consumer and over which merchandise is distributed in rural communities, is an important factor-in our national life in which residents of cities and twons as w.ell as farmers are interested. Hereto fore, in many parts of the United States, these roads have been poorly built and inadequately maintained, In later years there has been an a- wakening to the great economic, im portance of good roads * which has given effective vitality to a nation wide movement for the improvement of the country highway.” When one of our biggest taxpayers and a non-resident at thaU thinks and talks like that we think ifcis high time for we little taxpayers here at home to get our “think boxes” to worklhg and work them double time until we work out this problem cor rectly. • Smith Grove News.

He has a number of appointments in the county, lasting until Friday night, when he speaks in the court house here. This seetion was visited by copious showers nearly everv day last week, and the ground is thoroughly wet for the first time in two or three months. The rains have enabled farmers to get their tobacco plants out. and has-belped growing crops very much, especially blackberries. Editor H. B. Varner, of Lexing ton, addressed the citizens of Mocks ville tqwnship Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock on the subject of good roads. Thespeakinghad not been advertised, nevertheless a good sized audience heard the speaker. His speech was one of the best that has been delivered in the county, and was full of facts and figures.

Dulin had died after an illness of several weeks. I. Starling was born in Davie county in 186S, where she spent most of the happy days of childhood and young woman hood. In 1886 she was married to Mr. B.P. Starling, of Lone Oak, Va., where she has spent all of her married life. When very young shg joined the M E. church at this place and has ever since lived the consistent and noble life of a truly good woman and her death leaves, a gap hard to fill in the ranks of Christian soldiers and an unhealing wound in the heart andhome of her bereaved family, Mrs, Starl- ,ing is survived by her husband and five i visited Wheeler Stroud Suuaay. children, Mrs. Jacob Stewart of this c>ty Mrs. Lousis Smith visited Mrs. Ceuith Verner Sunday. L P. Casey Dead. E. P.

Graduating Exercises. OnWednesday night, Mav 14th, the Graded School building was a scene of much interest. The. class of 1913 was giving its last exercises, and who can imagine a scene more beautiful than eight lovely girls arrayed in white, having successfully completed the course in the school of their home town paying their last respects to their loved Alma Mater, After the opening prayer by Mr. Fox, Mt. J. H. Clement in.a most fitting and ap propriate manner introduced the speaker of the evening, Mr. Howard Rondthaler, of Salem College. In a most interesting way Mr. Rondthaler impressed it upon the minds of not only the graduating class but of the large audiance present that education meant service, that not the exercises of that night, but their life after that night would prone the value of their education. Education means service* more complete and thorough living. Then followed the exercises by the class. The Salutatory address by Miss Kopelia Hunt, the History read by Miss Edna Steward, Class States- tics by Miss MargaretMeroney, Class Poem by Miss Martha Call, Prophecy by Miss Ruth Rollins, Class Will by Miss Bernice Wilson, Song by Miss Ella Meroney. All a credit both to themselves and the institution from which they were graduating. The exercises closed with a most beautiful farewell address by Miss GeIene Ijames. The rostrum was a'scene of beauty decorated with cut fiowers and potted plants. Extending across the entire stage was a semi-circle of chairs occupied on one side by members of graduating class and on the other by members of the Board of Trustees, the speakers’ of the evening, the honored principal of the school occupying the central hair. It was a scene long to be remembered and all joined in extending congratulations and hoping that every member of the class may act as well their part on the stage of life as they did on the stage that night.
