01-January— au^a, IHfc PLUPLES RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UWAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN. VOLUMN XV. Huerta Writes to Wilson. To His Excellency, the President of the United States, Washington, D. C., United States of America. Castie of Chapnltepec, November 25, 1913. Sir-In accordance with the' duties of my exalted office and the dictates of my conscience, I am compelled, much to my regret, to inform your Excellency that it will hereafter be impossible for me and uiy government to recognize your idministration. I have instructed my representative, whom, for rea­ sons of your own, you have refused to receive, to demand your instant resignation as President of the Uuited States. I have no quarrel with you personally andT have the highest respect for your people, but I feel that the Kepublic ol sxico owes a duty to the demo- racy of the world. To my' mind cu are an usurper of' administra­ te power, even if, according to a oose interpretation of the Gonsti ntion, you hold your office accord- g to law. A GOVERNMENT OE MAJORITIES. Without quibbling over terms, e fundamental fact remains .that epnblican government is a govern ent by the majority of the people, f you will scan the election returns 11912 legally elected by a majoaity f the voters of your great country, y colleague, Senor Blanqaet. in forms me that the voters cast for President in the election to which you owe your alleged elevation to office were divided as folloys: Senor 3,369,221 General Koosevelt 4,057,429 Senor Debs 812,731 Senor Wilson^ 6,292,718 It is therefore Cleartiiatiroa' re­ present a minority of the American people which, by violating the great principles t h a t inspired George Washington and otir iin mortal Juarez, has arrogated to itself the government of your coun­ try. The vote against you exceed­ ed your vote by 2,000,000. L I t . u painful for me to state the facts so bluntly to your Excellency, but I do not see how you can remain in office against the clear and unmis­ takable verdict of the majority of the people. I owe it to myself, I owe it to my country, and to the traditional friendship existing be tween the Mexican Union and the United StateB of America, to inBist that you and your entire Cabinet instantly vacate the White House. I shall not be satisfied if your Excellency were to reBign merely as a matter oi form while continu­ ing to hold the reins of government by means of a dummy. I shall not permit Seuor Marshal to sncceed you, inasmuch as he is disqualified from office for the same seasons that render your election invalid from the point ot view of the Mexiern Gonstitutian. Nor shall I recognize Senor Bryan, Admiral Daniels or any member of your official family, as your successor. A MODEST DEMAND. I demand the immediate pro­ clamation of a new general election. Meanwhile, however—jor it is not JV intention to embarrass;; yonr ./vernment and the .noble people of t&e United States—I shall be perfectly content, if you will name Senclr Champ Clark as Provisional Preiiidcnt. ,If the Honorable Senot ceepts the designation, my govern­ ment will deal with him as the faoto Executive of your glorious re­ public. Meanwhile, in case any accident should befall Senor Champ Clark I shall hold your Excellency personally strictly responsible. I must insist, moreover, myself perfectly plain, that neither you, youreelf nor any one else con­ nected with your administration, shall be a candidate for election, I have r ■. objeetion to the candidacy ofGei al Roosevelt. Hisabsence from American soil, however, ren- I ders him ineligible to office accord- i ing to Mexioan law I suggest- a MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLHfA. WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 7 1914 NUMBER 27 quarantine of all American ports, in view of the ravages of malaria in the interior of Patagonia, if the General should indicate the defire to return to jour country before, election I should like to make plain that His Excellency, the Honorable William H. Taft, is the candidate whose election would be most ac­ ceptable to my government. Shortly before his departure my lamented predecessor called my at­ tention to another matter of graVe importance. It seems that your lower house likewise was not elect­ ed in accordance with the Mexican constitution. I will not insist on an immediate dissolution of Con­ gress, but I demand that every candidate who has not received a clear majority of the votes in his district, Bhall immediately enter another special election, running against the candidate, who received the largest numbered votes next to him. If this'request is not com­ plied with, I shall be forced to repudiate Congress and declare the election void. : AN UNFRIENDLY ACT. Any disagreement with my views will be construed by my govern­ ment as an unfriendly act. I realize that my position niay be regarded as academic, but I cannot deviate from the path laid out to me by' conscience, even at the expense Yoi my country and untold sacrificeis in blood and money. It your Excellency should fail to accede to my well meant sugges­ tions within forty eight honrs lrom. date, I shall place an immediate embargo on Chile pepper . In ease of your failure to recognize Senor Clark as your successor, I 'shall recognize the leader of one-of ybtjr rival factions in the Soverign States of New York and New jersey, as Provisional President of the United States. I am Btill wavering be­ tween Senor Nugent and Senor Murphyi, but I shall dispatch , a personal representative to negotiate with the two leaders. His clerical and journalistic experience—he is is' editor of the periodical which prints my speeches—vouch for his contaminate skill in the game of diplomacy and international poli­ tics. I trust that your Excellency will not misconstrue my gentle iu9iua- tions as an ultimatum, NothiBg could be further from my mind; it is not my intention to meddle with internal affairs of neighbering re publics. I am not even acting in the interest of my country. Ioffer my friendly advice merely because [ am a man of iron principle; actuated by high ideals. I believe firmly in the government of the majority when the majority-is right. I believe in the government of tbe.; people when the people agree with" me. Pray do not be alarmed by the dispatch of my entire fleet to Bdr Harber. It mercy, I assure your Excellency, for protection of Mexjr can citizens in the United States. Do not, I beg of you, misinterpret the call to arms of 300,000 men as a war like movement aimed against your glorious republic. Convey my compliments to Sesor Bryan .and believe me. With cordial regards, your ■in­ nate well-wisher. ; HUERTA, President.

Tait Butler in ProgressiveFarmer. A letter just received contains the following! statements, which are similar in .effect to others fre quently made: “If we cannot make cotton profitable beeause of the ravages-of the bollweevi], what crop can you suggest to take its place? Corn is not a" profitable crop in the South, we are too far south rfor wheat, oats are more or less uncertain and on the whole no more profitable than corn and .pea nuts, which you suggested a few years ago, have proved unsatis­ factory.” . We never have and never expect to suggest one single crop to -‘take the place of cotton,” In the first place, we do not believe there it another farm crop the equal of cot, ton.or that can take its place, all things considered. In the second place, if any one crop were to take the place of cotton we would Btili suffer from what has been the chief objection to our cotton farming; namely, a'one-crop system of farm­ ing, which is always a failure and leads to poor soils and poor people sobner or later . But this is a serious question which our friend raises. It has been raised eften, Since the coming of the boll weevils, and while it has been answered often, the answer has not been satisfactory to many. Let us briefly review the state ments made in this.quotation: Is corn an undrofitable crop in the South? Itmost assuredly Isr as now grown. The average yield is less than 20 bushels per acre and if one-third to one-half of this crop is taken to pay the rent on the Ihpd on the equipment—mules and im­ plements—it needs no expert ini farm economics to ’ see that the grower of such a crop does not get sufficient compensation for his labor to Tinable him to live as an Ameri ; can citizen should live. Indeed, it: is apparent ehat such a crop is not sufficient to enable the producer to Uve and give the necessary aid to; the maintaining of schools, roads and other necessary adj Qncts to a desirable rural life. But there is another side to the question. Is there any need of growing only 20 bushels of corn to the acre?; Could we not, with no more expense, grow 40 bushels to the acre, if we used a few simple agricultural facts, which can .be learned by anybody, to increase our soil fertility? The writer believes that corn will soon become a profitable crop in the South when svery cornfield also grows a crop of cowpeas,^ vel­ vet beans or some other iIegume, and when every field to be planted in corn is sowed in crimson clover che preceding September or Octo bey. The second statement made in our quotation, that “we are too far Houth for wheat,” is also true as regards the Cotton Belt, and we see no means of overcoming this natural or climatic difficulty. But what about, the third statement, that “oats are more or less uncer­ tain and on the whole no more profitable than-corn?” s - Personally, we believe oats as certain a crop asany farm crop, in any section, if sowed early in the fall on land of sufficient fertility to be reasonably certain of-producing a fair yield of auy crops. That oats are na more profitable than <mrn is.probably true, and it is equally true that our yield of 25 bushels or less of oats per acre is not.m *p|§gp,le anywhere. But when every oat crop is followed by a crop of eowpeas, sow beans or peanuts, the same season, and these are plowed under, grazed or har­ vested and fed- to livestock, and the manure returned to the land, and then these crops are followed with a crop of crimson clover to be plowed under for-a crop, both corn sfnd oats will become profitable and as.certain as anything in farming, y^hich depends to the same extent op the weather and other conditions beyond the control of man. •yComing to the last statement in t|e quotation: have peanuts, which -ffi have often suggested a splendid c|op for the South, proved unsatis- ra|tory? \Ve have np hesitation in lotting, with much emphasis, that spch is not entirely a correet state­ ment. To those who have grown peanuts lor the first time and failed Ifltn d y the crop and cnltivate, harvest and inarket it as the ex perience Ot peanut growers proves ip net be done, it has proved un­ satisfactory. Butthose who have tried the peanut and given it the treatment which it requires, and -tfhich can easily be learned and carried out by any man who will peept the knowledge we already lfaye of the crop, there has been no ter crop than peanuts—not even ijpteepting cptton, vfNo one crop will take the place o'f cotton, and it is perhaps well for bjSe future of agriculture in the Sfjnth that such is true. What we Wpht is a combination of crops, to tfke the place of not all the cotton, hut at least one half the land on which cotton is now grown; because half the land now planted to cotton will produce as much as we are now growing. These erops, which our friend rejects', if used in con­ nection with all the legumes pos­ sible, will not only take the place Of arli the cottonland that should he given up by that crop, but such a cropping system will make all these crops profitable, and also cot­ ton, even in the presence. of the cropping will also mean perman­ ently increased soil fertility, ii we spend the money now' spent for nitrogen in commercial fertilizers in buying increased quantities of lime, phosphoric acid and potash Children Cry for FBetcher7S Coontry Boy’s Shrewd Deal. The News & Observer tells this amusing story: “ And he certainly got the best of me,” said the SodaipJvater stand clerk as he was relating his ex­ perience In buying eggs from a young man from the country. “Aigs is aigs” thege days, you know, for wiJLh prices fluctuating from 40 to 45 cents a dozen the buyer of a single egg has sometimt a to hand out a five cent piece l<r this hen fruit. And there is a never ceasing demand for them in drug stores. _ “ We were needing eggs,” said the soda water clerk, “and when a young fellow from the country canie in and said he had two dozen to sell I was quick to hand out SG cents for the two dozen. We counted the eggs and there were twenty five of them. The young fellew put the extra egg in his pocket and was ready to leave. “Hold on there, I said, I want that egg also. Let me have it and I will give you a milk shake for it.” He declined and I offered a limeade, but no good. Finally I said, to him that he conld first take his choice Of a drink and give me the egg. “He thought a minute or so, pulled the egg out of his pocket and handed it to me. “ What will you have,” I asked him. “ ‘Gimme an egg flip’ was his answer. And what hurt me worse as I broke the egg he had given me into the drink, was that he didn’t smile, A ndhehad beaten me to a frazze, played me for a green one; and had the laugh on me. I had bought the extra egg all right,.but he had it back, plus all the fixings in the egg flip. Eggs are certainly high.” While stuffing turkey today let it remind you to put something in the homes of the poor.

I THE DAVlE RECORD. C. FRANK STROUD - - Editor. TELEPHONES SI AND 64. Entered at the Postoffice in Mocks- ville, N. C., as Second-class Mail matter. March 3,1903. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE - $ I 00 SIX MONTHS, IN ADVANCE - $ 50 THREE MONTHS, IN ADVANCE $ 25 WEDNESDAY, JAN. 7, 1914. The Record wishes for all its readers happy and prosperous New Year. Don’t forget about Mocksville’s big Trade Day that comes off three months hence—the first Monday in April. The new tariff law is in force now, but the Mocksville merchants are charging as much for their clothing, hats, shirts and socks as they did a year ago. The price of sugar also fails to come down. Dr. S. W. Little, of Clark sville township, this county, wh?died last fall, left to the Baptist Orphanage, at Thomasville about $25,000.. Charity and Children, the Or­ phanage paper, has the following to say in regard to the disposition of the money: "The appropriation of a part of the be­ quest of the late Dr. Little to the erection of a suitabie auditorinm for the Orphan­ age was wise and sensible on the part of the board of trustees. Itwill be known as the Little Memorial, and will be erect­ ed near the central building facing the avenue leading to the railroad. The blue prints show a very handsome building and orie^that'will be ample for the needs of the Orphanage for years to come.” Press dispatches last week announced that President Wilson attended preach­ ing on the Sunday previous. The dis­ patches could have also announced that quite a nnmber of Mocksville folks at­ tended services the same day. The Davie County Road Commissioners are in session today, Tuesday. Will try to get the proceedings for our next issue, and hope . that something worth while will be done. There is some money on hand now, and with the opening of spring it is hoped that everything will be in readiuess to go to work in earnest. The slit skirt has been with us for some time, but so far as we know the anklet and the kneelet have not yet arrived. This subject will be handled very care­ fully through The Record, as we noticed a few days ago that a North Carolina editor got a flogging on account of dis­ cussing this same subject. Friend Hammer, of Asheboro, seems to be having trouble in landing his job district attorney. Holton still hangs while Democrats continue to prefer v rious and sundry charges against Ham­ mer. Should Hammer fail to land Rob­ ert Page, Esq., will have another oppo­ nent for his seat in congress. One of our exchanges says that Hon. Robert Broadnax Glenn is in luck. He has landed a $7,500 per year job with no work attached to it. This is given him in exchange for services rendered during the last campaign. Robert spent much time and money running over the coun­ try yelling for Mr. Wilson. President Wilson and family spent the Christmas holidays in Mississippi; Theo­ dore Roosevelt spent the holidays in the wills of South America; William J. Bry an rusticated in Florida while the editor spent the happy season in Mocksville. We publish this merely as a matter of news and to keep history straight. The worst Christmas tragedy published to date occurred at Calumet, Mich., cn Christmas eve night. While hundreds of men, women and children were in a hall atrending a Christmas entertainment, a fool stuck his head in at the door and yelled fire. A stampede followed, and 72 children were crushed to death: Hanging is much too good for the scamp who did this awful deed. \ The Record wants a live correspondent at Advance, Fork Church, Jerusalem, Kappa, Calahaln, Sheffield, Cana, Farm­ ington, Smith Grove and Pino, and wants the CooIeemed and Reedy Creek boys to get on the job and furnish the news every week. Stationery, stamps and a copy of The Record will be furnished free to all correspondents. Write us at once for supplies, which will be sent you by i turn mail. The Recorfis now one dollar per year--if®*and believe it is worth that amount. Many of our friends tell us that we should have raised the price to a dollar long ago. A man who is too close-fisted to pay dollar a year for his county paper, should move to a county where no paper printed. W etrustthataIlour subscrib­ ers will continue with us, but if there are any who wish to have their paper dis­ continued, they will please send us the amount-due, and notify us. so that we can take their names off our books. The price is $1 per year to everybody. If we are to believe the United States Civil Service Commission, there will be some new postmasters in Davie county ere many moons have waned. The Re cord has been notified by the Commiss­ ion that an examination will be held at Moeksville on February 7tb. The posit- ion of postmaster at the following named offices in Davie is to be filled: Coolee- inee, Farmington, Bixby and Carta. It seems that the offices at Calahaln and Cornatzer are not worth scrapping over. Democrats. Republicans, BiiU Meese and Socialists will be allowed to contest for the plums. May every man who stsnds the examination get a slice of pie. The Record hopes that the year 1914 will be the best that Mocksville has ever experienced. The town is badly in need of more manufacturing enterprises, and we hope to see among other things a cot­ ton factory and a tobacco warehouse. Our town has not gone forward as fast as it should have' done, and if we don’t get a hustle on ourselves we wiU be lost in the shuffle. We need a few more live, hustling men who are not afraid to in­ vest their money at home, and we need fewer knockers. The citizens of the town are responsible for its growth and devel­ opment, and if the town is to grow, the citizens will have to pull together if any­ thing is accomplished. Someofour citi­ zens don’t want the town to grow, or at least it appears that way. - We must wel­ come the stranger to our midst instead of trying to discourage them. > We want ev­ ery man in Mocksville to :help us boost the town during the next twelve months.

I would have written you sooner, but I did not thipk I would:be here this long. I may not stay in Lakeland but a short time yet, but I can’t get along very well without The Re­ cord.

Had a little frost last Saturday morning—the first I had seen since I camehere. I wentdown to Bowling GreeniChristmas eve, and went out into the country from there prospect­ ing Christmas day. I was very favorably impressed with the country down there. It is almost a paradise. I think now that I shall make-my ^future home in “The Land of Flowers^* I think that I will come back to'Dayie next spring or sum­ mer on a,-visit, but l.expect to return to Florida. .If I' had plenty of money I woulfl rather inyest it here than any- where l have ever been. I saw a twenty acre orange grove in DeSoto county that recently sold fpr twenty thousand dollars There is one orange tree in the grove that is said to beihe oldest in the State—80 years old, and is seven feet in circum­ ference. A man’told me that it produced 55 boxes or bushels one year. I was of­ fered eighty acres of unimproved land ihat joins this-orchard. and is just as good land, for two thousand dollars. I am sure that it will be worth a hundred dollars an acre within three years, any­ way. It is only two miles'from town and on h good road. If youseeanyone that would like td buy in the garden spot of Florida; I tM’nk they would find it right through this section of the State. Land right near Lakeland is from one hundred dollars to one thousand dollars an acre. and-I had rather have one acre near Bowling Green than two acres the same distance from Lakeland. Town property is high in Lhkeland, as it is a great rail­ road center. The town celebrates its 30th birthday tomorrow. Send me a copy of The Record quick. — Yours in Florida, ________JPEG. FEREBEE.

Christmas passed oif very nicely in Mocksville. Not much drinking but the town was mighty wet Christ­ mas day. A good deal of fireworks was in evidence. A number of the business houses were closed during the day-and few people were on the streets. The rain eame down stead* ily most of the day, and it was very disagreeable, being the worst Christ­ mas day since 1904. C. S. Hutchens, of Gana, killed a hog one day recently which weighed 206 pounds. I he hog, when dressed, was found to contain nearly four pounds of rock, besides ten. eight- penny nails. No telling ho w much that hog would have weighed had he been able to get into the Mocks- ville Hardware store, or made a raid on the rock fence this side of Farm­ ington. Themerchnnts who advertise in Thie Record are the ones who get this majority of the trade. This facf was demonstrated before Christmas. The editor visited all the stores and found that those who carried ads in The Record much busier than those who are afraid to expend anything for advertising in the local paper. If you want business these days you have to Let the people know that you appreciate their trade. The Baraea Class of the Baptist church’ entertained the Philatheas and the juvenile classes of the Sun day school at the Commercial Hotel on Christmas eve night.

We WiU have a BARGAIN COUNTER that we will keep full of bargains of odds and ends that we have not enough of-each article to. list. t f BARGAIN HOUSE MOCKSVILLE, N. C. Must Marry in Two Years. Earl W, Anheuser, lawyer and city prosecutor of Omaha, Nebras ka, has had 800 proposals of mar­ riage in two weeks, and his office is fairly swamped with letters that have not yet been opened. Most of these offers are from blondes, as Anhenser is partial to that type Practically all are from Iowa, Kan sas, Nebraska, and Sonth Dakota, although Minnesota and Missouri are fairly well represented among the applicants. The rush is due to the fact that Anheuser’s nncle died about a month ago and Ielt him a legacy of $50,000, provided he married and settled down within the next two years. Immediately after tLe funeral the will was read and its provisions got into Omaha news papers. Also, the announcement that was made that unless he se cured the wife within the specified time he-would lose all claims to the $50,000. Further, Anheuser’s partiality for blondes Was enlarged upon. Fred’s first proposal came with iu less than twenty-four hours af ter the terms of the will were made known. The applicant was an Omaha girl, and in her letter she told Anheuser that she didn’t want the $50,000 but was willing to help him out by marrying him at once “I’m sure we will be happy to gether,” said the writer of the letter."' Before Anheuser had an oppor tnnity of answering the Omaha girl, letters began to come in from other towns, At first they were in lots of two and threes, but abont the'third day the mail carrier brought them in by the sack full. In the early days of his “court ship” Anheuser made a resolution to answer every one, but now the stenographer prepares them for a hasty reading by her employer The stenographer goes around all day with a broad grin on her face, and Anheuser is afraid to look her in the eye. A Herman, (Neb.) girl got in early with her bid for Anheuser— and the $50,000. She wants him to come to her and be a farmer. “ We can get such a nice farm and have enough left over for an auto mobile for that $50,000, she writes A girl from Kentucky, Neb , says her hair will stand every test, and that if she can help him gain that $50,000 she’s “there like a duck.” From Canistoga, S.

Last week marked the passing ol a mighty milestone in the home­ ward bound march'oh the Bepnb lican party. The party organiza­ tion of the nation met in response to the sentiment of (the Eepublican States, and deliberately and in the open did those things which the spirit of the time said should be done. They did them honestly and sincerely. The members, put aside all questions of personal ad vantage and ot local pride, and met together to take counsel and action for the good of the whole party. At the same time there was held in Illinois, the birthplace of the third party, a gathering of the Progressives of that ' State, and, judging from the platform adopted the recall of judicial decisions has been dropped from the public creed of that organization. In this they tollowed the example' of their brethren in Massachusetts, who were silent as to this issuo in the recent Scate campaign. The significence of this and its importance are great. The great protest, of the third party, their constant subject of disersr on and denunciation, was against the rules of procedure governing national conventions, and the number of delegates from States where the existence of the BepubIican party was something more academic than real. In orderly fashion and with real unanimity, hoth of these sore spots have been eliminated by the Republicans. The greatest of all objections which the Bepublicans have made to the Progressive declaration of principle has been the proposal ol the recall of Judges and the recall of judicial decisions. In the two States where the Progressives are the most powerful Massachusetts, and Tllinois, the advocacy of these has been suspended, if not aban­ don'd Ths steat boBe of conten­ tion v. remove^ by the Pro" gresstvsi themselves. No oni; parry and no one set "ol men have either copyright or pat­ ent right to the term progressive, any more than to the use of the American Hag as an emblem of belief. Bnt the Republican party is one of real process. What it has achieved is an earnest of a full­ er future. It is devoted to those ideals which have made the nations great. It is not content to rest npon past achievements, nor to: substi­ tute reminiscence for determination4 and action. It belieyea, with Ba­ con, t^at “what man does not alter for the better, time alters for the worse.” " The Republican party, however, does not believe in always being on the move, no matter in what direc­ tion or with what velocity, merely because it is motion. It does not believe in radical and sweeping changes, merely for the sake of change. It believes in modification and improvement wherever and whenever such are possible, not in an entire casting away of existing institutions. It believes in the onward march, ever forward, but not necessarily always at a quick step, ft prefers evolution to re­ volution. The Republican party of today is unchained to the past, free from mental shackles that bind. It be­ lieves that government to be effec­ tive mast have three great qu »li- ties, it must be representative, responsive and responsible. It believes in legislation that will build up, notin that which can only tear down. It'has no sympa­ thy with a.somewhai; popular oreed that evpry man and every company of men are guilty 'until proven innocent. It stands for progress, orderly progress, upon well consid­ ered lines. It does not favor a Sherman * mirch to the sea” through the business life of the nation, which would leave behind its trail of loss and desolation. In such a party there is a place for every progressive man. In it he can best do his work in the uprooting of she outgrown and archaic, and without disturbing the life and th.e growth of that which is proper and legitimate, A merger of the forces that oppose Demegratic principles andsapolmy is inevitable. The gOTherinl place for the fight to come must be - the Republican patty. And such t it will be. v ' MOCKSV1LLE. ,NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY.

He was not con­ vincing in his attempt to show that the figures of former Post­ master General ^Hitchcock w§ie wrong in what they actually shew­ ed—a material betterment. Bur­ leson, in his own first report of poBtal conditions, the annual re port of the department, asserts “ that the postal service is now for the first timo since 1883 self sus­ taining.” However, if the service were managed as a private corpo­ ration would be, it could not be termed self sustaining now, and by the same rule it was not under Hitchcock. There was an un­ doubted surplus above expendi­ tures in the last administration, so that as matters are “book keeped’ ’ in the department and had been Mr. Hitchcock was entitled to make the claim. There is a surplus above expenditures in the present year, with the same book keeping, and Mr. Burleson also is entitled to say that the department is more than self-sustaining. But in mak­ ing such claims no account is taken of investment in postoffice build­ ings. These have been supplied, not from the postal revenues, bht from taxation wholly aside from them, - i Ii the Postoffice Department were compelled to provide its' buildings from its own revenues no stretch of imagination could place it in the. self supporting category. For ex/ ample, the postoffice site in S hr own city, which has been a sort of football and which will be sold at the first good opportunity end an­ other secured, was not purchased from an accumulation of postal re­ venues, but with funds of the nat­ ional treasury derived from cus­ toms and internal revenues. The present federal building on Smith- field street was similarly provided. Sb, also, the postoffice on the North Side and postal buildings in ad­ joining towns everywhere. It is hardly a businesslike method of procedure. When all the factB are considered they dispose of claims that the department is self- sustaining, Instead it is deeply in debt. The fact that the debt is owed to the American people them­ selves does not alter the fact. It is also at the present time profiting at the expense ot the railroads, which are carrying a large tonnage of mail for nothing merely because they cannot help themselves. ^ Doubtless were the nation to acquire the telegraph and telephone lines as Mr. Burleson advises, the same methods would be applied to them that have prevailed in the Postoffice Department from the beginning. It would be an easy matter to demonstrate the new branch as great a business success as the Postoffice Department with the other revenues of the govern­ ment available for all supplies of capital and cure of annual deficits and with no rentals or iateiest payments exacted or return ofI: . _; J am Avrui/tfar)funds required or expected.

Washingten with them to down this.man in order to land that one,* Oommunities are divided into hos­ tile factions and bitterness is en­ gendered that is sometimes never1 healed. If there was the least principle involved there might be more excuse for the sacrifice; but there is none whatever. It is all a question of “pie.” For the sake of a little government office that takes a man out of his business and unfits him for anything else in all his after life, all'this eonfnsion and strife ia created. “The horse that pulls the plow deserves the fod­ der” sounds nice but it is seldom true. The fodder rarely falls to the horse that pulls the plow but to the politician that pulls the wires. Occasionally a deserving man is favored with a place, but- the rule is that government favors go to the man who can beat his ^neighbor playing tne game. (Noth­ ing truer to life has been written in many ’a day than a series ol articles in the Saturday Evening Post of a few monthB ago entitled “The Price of Place,” by Samuel G. Blythe. In that remarkable story the meanness of polities is clearly revealed, and the motive behind a. majority of our public men is shown to be the passionate attempt to play the game; . The: The Lacking of Confidence, FittsbUrgGazette Times. In no respect has tariff revision accomplished the beneficial results that were claimed for it. This is+- Iactically admitted by Democrats, and with a wry face." A tthe same time they protest that operations of the new customs.law sue in no sense responsible for increasing un­ employment in the United States. Their organs declare that neither that act nor the contemplated cur­ rency legislation ean be held to account for depressed' industrial Cdhditions.' The whole trouble in the.situation, they contend, is due to “ senseless lack of confidence.” Lack of confidence is what? Un­ doubtedly this feeling exists, and, ‘to be just, it may be attributed to a number of causes, for some of which nothing that has been doue at Washington is to blame. Mean­ time the fault that legitimately is to be found with the administra tion and Democratic party is. that they have not so adjusted their attitude as to inspire confidence With regard, to the government’s influence on and part in prosper ity. Instead of adopting policies •a? to legislation and administration that would tend to allay ■ distrust and eliminate uncertainties the course of events at the capital' has been Steadily and persistently in the direction of new and more vex- atious complications.

Developbg a Backbone. Thereis a great multitude of contradictions in life. You see them every day and at every turn you make in every day. And there are many things that look like contradictions, but are not. It is a fine'thing for you to get into the way of helping other people, to develop yourself into a regular booster. But it isn’t a good thing for you to get into the habit of having to be helped too much your­ self. In faot, it is very bad to get into that condition that you can scarcely get into anything without being boosted into it. It is all right to give a stogy, fat boy a Shove up into an apple tree, but for yourself, if you are a hoy, it is far better to be alert and active and able to climb up_anything without thanks to anyone. That is the worst with this helping busi­ ness, it sometimes goes to seed or works too much the wroDg way.

Where the Southern States and the tamons Southern somsr derived the title “ Dixie” is told in the history of the old “Citizens Bank of New Orleans, which the London Financial Times gives.

' The flO billa were engraved in French, with the word “Dix,” (ten) pro­ minently featured -on the back.

You Need a Tonic There are times in every woman’s life when she needs a tonic to help her over the hard places. When that time comes to you, you know what tonic to take—Cardui, the woman’s tonic. Cardui is com­ posed of- purely vegetable ingredients, which act gently, yet surely, on the weakened womanly organs, and helps build them back to strength and health. It has benefited thousands and thousands of weak, ailing Women in its past half century of wonderful success, and it will do the same for you. You-can’t make a mistake in takiijg CARDUI The Woman9S Tonic Miss Amelia Wilson, R. F. D. No. 4, Alma, Ark., says: “I think Cardui is the greatest medicine on earth, for women.

Good Roads-Meeting. " The Davie County Good Roads Commissioners met Tuesday, as ad vertised,* but we are sorry that no business was transacted to amount to anything. The biggest thing done was to pay the road contractors who built the Shady Grove road about $3,500, the balance due on the 2\ miles of road from Ellis’ home to a point just east of Advance. This contract was done without consult­ ing the Board, and many there were who thought the Road Commission­ ers bad no right to pay it. The cash will soon be gone, and nothing mufch to show for it, if all the roads are to cost as much as this little pjece. This road, cost between $4,000 "and $5,000. whtn it should have been built at a cost of about $1]000 per mile. But it is not our funeral. It was decided to do nothing in the way of road building until some time in March or later. The questionias to which way the S'ate HighwUy should go, was again deferred, and the people know no more now than they did before the meeting : A good many people were in town; for the road meeting, as it was under­ stood that the route would be seject- ed at this meeting from Hall’s Ferry to the Iredell line. A big delega­ tion was present from Smith Grove, and a number here from Farming­ ton in the interest of1 ,their respect ive sections. The boys Are pulling for the highway to go by Farming ton or hy Smith Grove, half one way. half the other; We don’t know which is the logical route. Reedy Creek News. 1 J. W.

Last JVednesdayv night some un­ known person or persons bored throught the, depot and one of the barrels and succeeded in making way with 2-5 or 30 gallons. It is supposed that a pipe was/placed through, the holes and the booze thus drawn out. The whiskey was shipped from Rich­ mond last fall, and addressed to J. D. Hairston.

In payment for his services, the groom gave the. parson a check for $5 payable by a national bank in another -,county. Everything went well for a while,', but.not long afterward the check came back, and the parson had to hustle-around and get up a five spot to ®|&y theJocal bank. It happen, dd I f e the groom’s check was no good—in fact, his signature was not even recognized at the bank on which the check was drawn. In our opinion this was a mean trick, and the fellow don’t deserve much hap piness. * The names of all concerned are with held fdir ..fe(ar. that ' might'be a funeral and «—there RORD The Universal Gar BUY IT BECAUSE IT’S A BETTER CAR ModeI T Touring Car ' f.o.b.

Pure white backgrounds gleamed through smiling clusters of green. Everything seemed rejoicing with­ out a .discordant note. Even mother na­ ture added to the beauty of the occasion by. Wrapping hill and dale in a mantle of white.. As the organ pealed forth a beautiful march from the skillful fingers of Miss Esther Richie, the bridal party entered.

When the pie is opened the birds begin to sing, whether they are Democratieor Republican birds; and it is the same old song. The words are different but the music is the same. The scramble jfchat ha9 been going on about Washing­ ton and the Bcrapping that ‘has filled the sir at home for the past six months, are familiar but dis­ gusting. The President, great and strong as he is, has yielded to the pressure from with out and has violated his purpose not to remove any office holder For political rea­ sons. Wc think it would have been a great deal more seemly ; not to. say prudent, for the administra­ tion to have allowed Messrs Logan, Seawell and Dockery to have served out their terms. They had held their offiees and discharged their duties under this administration for nine months and only about 60 days remained to them, But little time has been saved to the Demo­ crats and a great deal of just criti­ cism has been passed; nor is this the last of this matter. Tbe peo­ ple of the United States are not particularly interested in providing places for politioans; what they are interested in is efficient and capable service on the part of office holders. Mr. Wilson is too big and broad a man to allow a few partisans to discredit the great work of his administration by involving a . lot of hungry wire pullers in a row over the distribution of the offices. ItwasGleyeland who made the wise remark that ’’public office is a public trust.” It seems to be commonly regarded around Wash­ ington as a private snap. The wonderful thin* a^ut. Jhe , whol^ business is the strange fascination there id about a public office for the average man. Some people will abandon a good business that furnishes an ample income for a precarious period of office holding that does not yield a competency top the present and promises noth­ ing for the future.

Thou shall not send thy good money away to Bears, Saw- buck & Co., for goods, thou nor thy wite, thy son nor his wife, for. verily the money is needed at home to. make things boom ; and every “ boom” addeth $10 per acre to all thy holdings. ; 2- Thou shalt patronize, the merchants of Mocksviile, every one of them who advertise in The Record, and also give The Davie Beeord thy advertising and job work; Nor verily the- merchants have the goods, and this office not only needs the money, but can now turn out the work while you Wait. 3. Thou sbalt give employmep to thine owh mechanics and labor* ing men, that they be not driven from home in seareh of bread for their little ones. i . Thon shalt pay thy bills promptly, that thy credit may be good in the IaBd where thou dwell est; for it is neither good to dun nor be dunned. Yea, verily, the man who payeth the. cash causeth the hearts of our business men to leap, for-joy, aud his praises are sung from the housetop. 5l Tboa shait not beaknocker,, for the knocker/ in manyTn&tanees, gets knocked at a time when he least expects it, and in a way he is not aware of. But thou shalt do whatsoever lieth in thy power to promote every business industry, that thou inayest rejoice with oth­ ers, and have a share in the pros­ perity. 6. Tbou Bhalt spend thy dol­ lars at home, for a portion of them will surely return unto thee not many days hence and will help to give nourishment to such as. come after thee. 7. Thoa shalt not bear false witness against the city of Mocks ville, but Bhall speak well of every industry in the ears of all men, for it is a dirty bird that befouletk its own nest. They that doeth such things shalt be., cast into outer darkness, an d . shalt make their beds with'the pole-cats. 8. Thou shalt not covet their neighbor’s seed potatoes, his corn nor his broad and fertile acres, for verily if thou wantest to have as mnoh of this world’s goods as he, tbon Shalt hustle for the same. 9. Thou Shalt Strictly adhere to all these commandments, and Iihiltteaclitlieiii to thy children, that they may flourish and wax fat after thy toes have been turned up to the daisies. 10.

The features of thejaw are given in the News and Hbjmyer in connection with its tegort of the Cary transaction and are |o the effect that when pur- ChaCing a traet of land the buyer ean have special proceedings insti­ tuted, this being the form by which State guarantee can be secured, audit will then be the duty of the clerk of court where the action is started to appoint a Bpecial agent, whose duty is to look up the title.

I A Cruel Joke. * A high-spirited girl played a cruel joke on her mother, and this is how it happened: She foundalove let­ ter that her father had actually writ­ ten to her mother in the halycon days of their courtship. She read the letter to her mother, substituting her own name and that of her lover. The mother raved with anger and stamped her foot in disgust, forbid­ ding her daughter to.have anything to do with a man who would write such nonsenscial stuff to a girl. The girl then gave the letter to her mother to read, and the house be­ came so suddenly: quiet that they could hear the cat winking in the back yark.—Exchange. But She Didn't "Lay On."

If prompt atten­ tion is given the roads can be kept in repair at comparatively small cost. If we wait until they are so bad travel is hindered, the repair work will almost ; amount to re­ building. Keep npthe campaign for prompt and systematic repair. Under a proper system the work can be done at small coat.—Statea- ville Landmark. ' What is Ultimatum? . .

Pigeon Lit on Minister’s Head.' Mooresville Enterprise, It is customary for a certain se­ cret order, to liberate a pigeon at the funeral of one of its deceased members, but recently-. a-.-pigeon entered New Bethpage church, -in Cabarrus county, when the funeral of. a very estimable lady was in progress, and created more or; Ieto confusion. Rev. Mr. Graub tef Marshville was called there to con­ duct the funeral of^ Mrs. BbbOrt Holbrooks. The ministet had be­ gun tne sorvice when the beantiful bird was noticed circultog inside the church. It made several rounds and finally alighted on the head of the preacher. He was not disturb­ ed in the least and gently pushed the pigeon off. The bird made a second flight around' the church and again perched upon the minis­ ter’shead. He again brushed the bird from his pate and continued uninterrupted. The pigeon shot downward to the floor and : made Beveral circles around the corpse, after which it arose and making a flight over the choir, alighted on the open Bible on the pulpit in front of the minister. The preaeh- er took the bird in his hand and passed it to some member of tbe congregation, who pat it oil the outBide of thecharch. The pigeon was evident a tame one anfl had lost its bourse. There is' more , or less superstition among Bome peo­ ple, but it will be rather a difficult matter to determine oa the .merits of this incident as to. whether the antics of the pigeon shall be deemed a good or evil.

He also find bjjr visiting the other stores in our town that the one who advertises is the one who does the business, only one business house in our town failed last year and that was on account of not advertising—Cooleemee Journal. The Record favors putting; all the county officers oh a salary. : We be­ lieve the county would save money by doing so. It is true that the Clerk’s office does not pay enough, but most of the other offices pay too much The Sheriff’s'office will pay between three and four thousand dollars per year, so we are informed, and we suppose the register’s office pays about $2,000 at least. We would be glad to hear from our readers on this question. Our col­ umns are open to all who wish to ex­ press their views along this line. . During the last campaign several; of the county officers said that if; they were elected then, they would; not run again, which means that new men will have to be looked up to fill their places. Some of the other officers have been holding of­ fice from ten to fifteen years, and we suppose that tBey will be willing to come down this time, which means that the Republican party will have a ticket composed of all new men this fall. The Record believes- that the time has come for a complete change of men. We don’t believe in the same men holding office all thdr lives. "Such a course hurts the party. IS IT COMING. ., Mr. Burbank, owner of the Daily and Western Sentinel, this citv, writ­ ing to his papers here from his home on the Pacific slope, under date of Dec. 7th, says: Businessisso badin Los Angeles Uiat the time for paying city taxes has been extended six weeks so as to delay delinquency.

Every paper has corked up in it bitter burning Wrongat W hich it never airs. -Some day, when the time comes, we, propose, to get out a special edition and for once in a long and useful career tell the truth a bout grafting church workers, who think thatihe advertising of their entertain­ ment to steal and cheat and graft for the Lord is a pious act; in that edition ..we propose to tell how many .dollars the vari­ ous busted fair associations dwe us for adverising which never was paid for; how nuny men the Gazette has supported for office who went around declaring that the Gazette did them more harm than good; how many times we have got behind the town booming propositions, wasted oar time and space and good black ink and white paper and in the end had a lot of ivory-headed chumps hold a lodge of sor­ row ovfer a typographical error, and moan about the fact that the Gazette never does get anything right.—Emporia (Kans.) Gazette. ." * HAVE NOT DONE THEIR DUTY. The Davie County Commissioners seem to have failed to do their duty, as laid down by the “Davie County Good Roads Bill,” which became a law last May. The bill calls for a statement to be published in a coun­ ty paper every December, showing what has been done with the people’s money. Section I of the law ,reads as follows: “The Clerk of the Board of County Commissioners shall with­ in six days before the first Monday in December of each year make out and certify and cause to be published in some newspaper published in Davie county a statement of the preceding year showing the amount of taxes collected in the several town­ ships of Davie for road purposes, and the amount expended in each township, the amount for opening new roads, the amount of road ma­ chinery purchased, the amount of permanent road work done, if any, and the cost thereof, and' all other expenses connected with the road work in the several townships.” The people of Davie county would like to know how much of the good roads money has been spent and what for, and how much taxes 'have been collected for this purpose. The bill says plainly that a statement; to this effect shall b e' published each year. So far as we have been able to learni no such statement has !ap­ peared in any Davie county paper, most assuredly not in The Record, thesj^l? jiaper printed in the county. CoL Henry C.

DeRness is caused by au.inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im perfect hearing, and when it is en­ tirely closed, Deafness is the result- and unless the inflammation eau be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine ea° ses out of teu are caused by Catarrh which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

It is considered bad luck to meet afuueral procession. I have known darkies .to turn around and go 'a mile oat of their way rather than meet and pass one. ' The negroes have a peculiar superstition that when a person is buried the tools used in digging the grave must not be carried from the cemetery until the day after the burying. They tell you some one in the community will die soon unless the tools are left all night in thecemetery. A negro will never, burn the wood of a tree that has been struck by lightning; to do this is thought to bring the worst kind of luck, The old darkies are strong be­ lievers in “conjuring,” as they call it. A negro woman living near my home came over one day in great distress to tell me that Bhe was being “conjured.” She said that every morning when she arose she found something white like flour sprinkled around her house. She had an enemy, she said, who was trying to bring her under an evil spell. So firmly was she con vinced of this that she left a good place and moved to another part of the country. I have seen old darkieB whose limbs were drawn witn rheumatism, who would tell me with the utmost sincerity that they had snakes, frogs and lizards in their limbs and body—placed there by the “con­ jurer.” A few years ago there lived; on my unele’s~ pianiafion a stout,' healthy negro girl of about seven­ teen yeais of age. Coming in from the field one day and, being warm and tired, she lay down on some planks in the yard and fell asleep. While she was sleeping a negro boy came by and, in a spirit of mischief, cut off a lock of her hair and ran out of sight before she was sufficiently aroused to see who it was. Plaoing her hand upon her head and finding'the lock of hair gone, she made a great lamentation and would not be comforted, say­ ing that some one had taken her hair away to “conjure” her. From this time she grew sad and melan­ choly, lost her appetite, and finally grew sick Of fever. Inherdelirinm she would start up wildly and beg some one to bring her hair , back to her. One day, in acoGBcious interval, she ealled her mother and said: “ Mammy, I ’m dying, bnt if you will jes’ git me back that lock of hair I will get well.” But her mother did not know who had the the hair, so in a few days the poor girl died, a victim of her delusion.’ Poor Uncle Solomon Johnson for a number of years had been crip­ pled with rheumatism, and, as he was not able to work, the good things oflife were very slow about coming his. way. At last he died, and, as is usuallyithe case when a negro dies, all his friends and kindred gathered from near find f a r to enjoy the“ settin’ up” and the funeral. UncleSol having suffered with rheumatism for so long his kfiees were drawn up, and when he was dressed they found it impossible to straighten them; but, at night, after he was laid out and they were waiting for the coffin, the watchers in that little hillside cabin witness­ ed a strange sight. Unde Sol’s knees suddenly staaightened out and his feet slipped to their proper places. Immediately the supersti­ tion in the darkey nature asserted itself. : . . .< D id you'see dat!” was asked “ My Lord, what’s dat!” No one waited to answer qncs tions. Therewasarush for the door and the Httlo cotton patch around the cabin g a v i f evidence of the haste with which the panic- sticken darkies fled, for the white, fleecy locks were scattered over the field. The preacher, being a good run ner, wae a little in advance of the others, but. taking a short cut through the branch, he became pn tangled in some bamboo vines, and, being in a hurry, he could not extricate himself. Having a dread of being left alone so near the fear­ ful cabin, he endeavored to' Btay the fleeing darkies. ‘.‘What you niggers runuin’ for!” he asked “ Dere ain’t nuffin to be feared of. You all is just de biggest fools I eber seen in my life.” It was in vain he called to them. They left him to his fate and tarried not un­ til the doors of their own homes closed upon them. Superstition is dying out to some, extent. It is not so common as it was a few years ago. Education is doing much to relieve the' negro mind of those old foolish supersti­ tions. Will Grow 'Possums For Market. Asheville Citizen. Believing that there is always a market for a well fed, fat ’possum, Thomas Israel, of Henderson coun­ ty, has conceived and put into execution the novel idea of raising possums to order, and to carry out his idea, has enclosed a large plof of ground on his place near Hen­ dersonville, stoeked it 'with ’pos­ sums and is sitting back waiting for his profits to materialize, Membersofthe opossum tribe, made famous by former President-: Taft, multiply very rapidly, Mr. Israel says! and he also thinks that ttre presence of * the domesticated animals will attract large numbers of their brethren from the nearby hills and vales. Figuring all these factors into the proposition, he.ex- pects to have about 2,000 ’possums of marketable age at the end of two years. ’Possums now bringing from four to six bits (fifty to seventy five cents} apiece, and their skins, when properly prepared, bring an equal amount. Figuring every !.possible catastrophe into the account, Mr. Israel thinks he can raise the savory delicacy at a cost of about twenty-five cents a head. Based on his ocher figures, this would give a net profit of from a dollar to a dollar a quarter on every animal. Mr. Israel has not decided to at­ tempt to corner the ’poBBum mar­ ket as yet, but he is in deadly earnest about raising the animals for sale, and declares that he will make money at it. . He is showing his faith in the venture by spend­ ing bis money for supplies to start the farm. The Spread of Pellagra Alarming. Washington Dispatch, Pellagra, unknown In the United States seven years ago but now pronouced a greater menace than leprosy, which it closely resembles, has proven such abaffling problem to the public health service that Secretary of the Treasury McAdod will probably ask the present Con­ gress to appropriate a sum to es­ tablish a hospital for the study of thiB new menace. This was announced by Assistant Secretary-of the Treasury Newton. He said there are-now 600 cases In a single county of South Carolina* and if a research hospital is estab­ lished it will probably be located in that part otthe country. Since the first caseB of pellagra in this country were discovered in A IabamW ip^l917, there have been 5#60(f persons stricken, 35 per cent of whom have died and many of whom fiave gone insane. Though confined jargjly to the South, eases have been reported in 44 States and the District of Co To Cure a Cold jn One Day Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine.

During the holidays The Observ- saw in a New Yorkpaper an appeal frojn a Northern school teacher for contributions to make glad the hearts of a lot of Children ‘‘who hd|e never known Christmas.?’ This latest discovery of objects for Northern charity is located on “ tfie ridges around Mount Airy,” the abiding place of the desolate tplk more, commonly knows as “Gborgia Crackers.” Mount Airy, be i.t known, is a well advertised resort on the Southern !Railway anfiisihthe heart- Of one of the moeit civilized sections of the be­ nighted South.

The intelligent poroion of the North years since happily came into a better knowledge of conditions among the mountain people of the South. This soggy- minded variety of Bentimentalism now arouses disgust where once it aroused resentment. Is there no way In which to stop it! Eeems almost hopeless when we reflect that Ochs, in whose paper the “appeal” was made, is not only a Southern man and publisher of an influential Southern paper, but got his education in a mountain school.

NUMBER 30 Can't Be “Intellectually Honest” in Congress. In announcing that he'wonld not be a candidate for re election, Con­ gressman J. J. Whitacre, of the eighteeth Ohio district, declared that “no man who wants to be intellectually honest has any busi­ ness in Congress.” “ AU I’ve done since i ’ve been down in Washington,” said Wbit- acre, “has been to sit around and try to look wise, and that’s wliat any man has to do who isn’t will­ ing to barter his convictions -for political expediency. “Today I got a letter from a fraternal'organization asking un­ to vote for the pending immigration bill. I voted against the bill once, but if I played the Washington game I would write my correspond­ ent that I would carefully consider the matter, then I would keep bluffing until it came to a show­ down. After I had voted against the bill I Avould hurry around and explain that matters arising at the last minute had made my act necessary. “ I can’t stand that sort of busi­ ness. I had thought there might be a chance for an honest, wide­ awake, frank business man in Con­ gress, but I was quickly disillusion­ ed.” Whitacre is serving his second term. He was elected as a.

We noticed the other day that a farmer dropped dead in Gabarrus county just as he was making pre­ parations to split some wood. And yet wives will persist in having their husbands split wood. The encouraging-news has been spread throughout the land that the prioe of shoes may go to $10 per pair, as the result of a law to have shoes made under the pure food and drug act. It is to be hoped that warm weather will arrivt before the price gets to $10. It is now thought that W. C. Ham­ mer will land the District Attorney ship within a very short time. Wil­ liam deserves something at the hands of the Democratic party, for he has done much faithful work and has so far received nothing more than a Solicitor’s job for the past ten or fifteen years.

WhichmeamthatRobertis to get his cash back which he spent during the last campaign running around over the West whooping it up for Wilson. The article in last week’s paper, stating that the Register’s office paid about §2,000 per year, seems to have been a mistake.

In all the ways you can, Toallthepeopleyou can, Just as long as you can. Editor Record:—With the above four lines as a subject, I am going to make a suggestion to ' you thug early in the year 1914, I have been reading a paper in which those four lines have appeared at the head of a column weekly fer several years and I have not missed a week in reading those lines, and the subject matter following for a long while. To me they contain a sermon that should be preached every day-in the week, and if lived up to, would produce results for good beyond; estimation. Thinkofwhat a change it would make in this old world if a majority of :the people in it would decide to do all the. good they could, to all the naAwilA tnow imc+aaH ivf rlstinrr than In any other way, and that makes it necessary and important that ,our press should. carry pure,-, clean and wholesome reading to its patrons, condemning that which is wrong, and upholding at all times that which is right and calculated to promote good morals and prpduce good citizens. There never was a time in the world’s history when as much could be done if we were all imbued with the spirit that perme­ ates the four lines at the head of this article. To do good and not evil, to push up and not pull down, to build and not destroy, to lead and not attempt to drive, to help and not discourage, are means and meth­ ods that if put into operation will make the world better and brighter, and -every one happier for having a part in bringing it about. Mocksville, Jan. 26,1914. Boys Suspected of Father’s Death. Mt. Airy, N. C.. Jan. 17— Charles and Samuel Lawson, aged 20 and 17 years, today were placed under ar­ rest here following a coroner’s in­ quiry into the death of their father, William Lawson, a farmer whose body was discovered yesterday in a shallow grave in a field near bis home. It developed at the inquest that Lawson disappeared from his residence near here shortly before Christmas. Examination of his ex­ humed body showed that he had been shot through the heart. County of­ ficials claim that Lawson’s sons have confessed to killing their father, alleging that they acted in a defense of their mother, whom Lawson was abusing. Hillard Jessfip, a relative of the Lawsons, also is held in con­ nection with Lawson’s death. ElbavilIe News. We are having some fine weather along now. J '- Mrs. M.

County ..Commiss­ ioners and the* Cleik of the Baiad for not. publishing a statement of taxes collected ' for Road purposes, and the ;amount ex-, pended, etc., I desire to state for the benefit of the'general public that the road;, tax was not levied until 1st Monday 'i n r August 1913, and very little of it . was . collected by Dec. 1,1913. So>ou see; it1' is impossiblerto levy a tax in August and, show by report by Dec. L of the ' same" year, how and In what way it was paid out—it not yet being collected. «: . j The Roadjreports will.be published,"ah required by law, in-^ie year 1914 and; not in the year J913. So it is an error of, thb Editor of The Davie Record, and not!' a failure of the Board to do its duty: - ' 1 : ^ J. F. MOORE, Clerk of Board. The Record -gives space to the above; ,statement, as we wish to be fair with ev­ erybody, and 'we would be glad if Regisi ter Moore would tell The. Record readers what has become of the fifteen or twenty thousand dollars that has been disbursed by the Board.. The Record printed the- Road Bill, and, under the said bill, we. still contend that we were right in our, article last week, regardless of what Mr. Moore says to the contrary. The taxpay­ ers have a right to know what the Board has and is doing with, their money. (Pur readers can take the case. TAX NOTICE!

Harry Thaw to Locate Near Ashe­ ville. Asheville Gazette-News, " Reports were current on the streets Saturday afternoon and Snndiiy that Harry Thaw had planned to bny an estate near Asheville "and make this city his future home. The reports stated that his attorneys had written to G. R. Moore, a local real estate man, to locate for them a suitable estate, near this city and that when such lands were located that they would come down, with members of the family, and look over the tracts, with a view of baying a large estate. When seen by a Gazette-News reporter and asked if this report was true, Mr. Moore would neither deuy nor confirm the report, say­ ing that at present he preferred to make no statement in regard to the matter. It is generally believed here that the report is true. It is also un­ derstood from the reports, none of which can be confirmed, that Mrs. Alice Thaw, mother of Harry E . of gallons—of beating down the Thaw, will come here with him if j doors °f th® hovel of crime while he decides to locate, and make this the gates of its palaces are closed Biliousness and Constipation Cured If you are ever troubledwithbiliousness or constipation you will be - interested in the statement of R.
