Jan. 3, 1923. Although some of his enemies thought they had Ex-President Woodrow Wilson down and out two years ago, yet the cold hard fact remains that he is yet a great force in the political world, internationally, as well a>3 nation ally. The Wilson policies are founded upon ti-uth and must triumph in the end. The world must come to his ideals or suffer a set-back that will mean an ir reparable loss to modern civiliza tion. We are starting at the first of a New Year. If your subscrip tion to the Enterprise has expir ed, now is a good time to renew. If you are not already asubscrib- er, now is a good time to sub scribe. You cannot afford to live through 1923 without your home paper. Every parent owes it, not only to himself, but to his children, to place his home news paper within reach of every member of his family. The price is only a dollar and you get fifty two bright, newsy issues of the paper during the year, each of them fairly bristling with local news and articles of human in terest. Governor Morrison did the sen Bible thing when he stated that he thought the governors had better put their time to someth- . ing more vital than that of abus ing the Ku Klux Klan. Thj En- ■ teiprise holds no brier for this -teeded-orgamzHtion;l3uT\ve have seen evidences of very little wrong done by the order and we see no reason why the average citizen should be unduly excited. Frankly, all this newspaper talk is evidently being put forward by some organization or organiza tions which may be as dangerous to American liberty and Ameri can government, and far m^^re so, than the Ku Klux Klan. In the meantime the Ku Klux Klan con tinues to grow in numbers and every knock is a boost. Frankly, Ave were not much impressed with the proposed Church State Medical College which Governor Morrison pro posed until we • learned that the same is to be in the absolute con- of the state. I с looked to us like too much of a mixture of church and state affairs, but if the college is to be maintained and controled by a board of trus ■ tees selected by the General As sembly, we cannot see wherein the contribution of $8,000,000 by Trinity College would make it otherwise than purely a state in stitution. If the instituticn can be put in the hands of the state, exclusively, we see no reason why Trinity, Wake Forrest, Davidson and as many other denomination al colleges as would care to do so, should not contribute to the building and maintenance of the institution. That North Carolina needs a great stnte •medical col lege, no we'l inlormed person will deny, and if the Governor aays there is to be no mixUue of church and state interests, the Enterprise is with him whole ■oul.

We would like to say to the merchants of Mocksville, in making your plans for the fut ure don't fail to make an appro priation for advertising.

During the past year we have striven hard to make this paper juat what the people of this town and county want it to be. We have fallen short of our ideal,; of course, but during the coming y ear w e are going to strive still harder to reach this ideal. .It is pur purpose to make the Mocksville Enterprise a real mirror of Davie County, reflecting the hopes and aspirations of its psople, and recot ding all of the happenings worthy of mention. It takes not only a deal of human energy, mixed with an average supply of mental effort to make an ideal local newspaper, but it takes money aa well Therefore, we ask the heart.v co-operation of our friends f in a financial way. We believe and trust that if we deliver the i goods we shall reap adequate returns for our efforts in a material way. We think the people of thin county want just such a paper as we shall try to produce during the coming year, and it is our faith in the citizenship of Davie that permits us to go about our work and face the problems which may confront us during the com ing .vear with hope and enthus'asm. To Our Various News Correspondents over the county, we desire at this lime to express our thanks. We are thoroughly aware of the fact that it is the community corres pondents, who from week to week give us the local news of the various 'sections of the coiinty, who contribute in a large measure to the success of the paper. To every one of you, therefore, we ex^?nd greetings and best wishes of the season. We hops that during the coming year you will co-operate with us, that you will feel that you are each a member of the Enterprise Staff as much eo as the editor himself. The success which the paper attains will re flect credit upon every one who takes part towards making it what ^ t h e people want, and nothing will be a greater force in advancing [tiie rnaterial. moral 'and intellectual welfare of Davie County.

Winston-Salem, Dec. 29.—The wild arid'wooly western pictures at the moving picture houses yeaterday paled in to insigniñcance in the quiet village of Kerners- ville when the populace of that otherwise quiet community saw their chief of police, Charlie Dil lard, a giant weighing fully 225 pounds, marching down the street, headed for the town jail, with his hand pointed heaven ward and 10 paces behind him, directing -his-movements,. was a tiny lad with a huge revolver. While the surprised citizen stared^ the pair proceeded to the town lockup, But there the tables were turned. Dillard opened the door at the lad’s command, but before the boy could stop him the chief of police had secured'his own revolver and the boy Man uel Kendrick, 13-years-óld; was the prisoner. The whole thing came about like this: W. T. Kendrick, the lad's father a new-comer to Ker- nersville, having been reared in the fastnesses of Henry couiity, Virginia, had been arrested dur ing the morning on the charge of imbibing too much of the for bidden fluid. At the time of his arrest and incarceration the lad was-attending a moving picture, where pictures of the Wild West were being shown. There he saw men of great daring. accomplish ing great deeds with nothing more than a huge revolver to aid them. When the picture was over and he returned home he heard of what had befallen his sire. Ang ered,-he approached the chief of police and demanded his father’s freedom; When this was denied he returned^to'his own honie, got out his father’s pistol and started but'as a knight of old to rescue his father. He was almost suc cessful, but he failed and as a consequence h^ was lodged in his father’s cell. This morning he was tried in the juvenile court in this city. H¡e told the judge thathe thought that he had a perfect right to de- fand^hia^father4n^anyj¡cáy~that It seemed necessary. The court listened to his story carefully, and then upon the recommenda tion of the superintendent of public welfare, turned the lad loóse, placing him upon probation and requiring him to report to the mayor at least once a week.

Bellglous rites and ceremonies should not be hardened Into fetters to bind the wo^ shlper. I. Jeius Teaching on tha Sabbath Day (v. 10). ñ was tbe Lord’s custom, to go to tlie place of worship on the Sabbath day. His disciples will Imitate Him In this. At the place of worship there IB opportunity to bo nearest to God, to worship Him, and to show mercy and kindness to out fellow-man. II. Jesus Healing on' the Sabbath (w. 11-13). 1. A Woman In Need (v. 11). This poor woman’s back was bowed down with eighteen years of great- suffering. Though thus afflicted she found her way to the place of worship. Men and women are in great need today. Their bodies may not be bowed down'with physical suffering, but thero are many bowed down vTlth. the burden ot sin and sorrow. 2. Oalled to Jesus (v. 12). He la al ways quick to discern those who are burdened. He spoke a word of heal ing to her. How welcome must have been His words. He is calling’ today to the manj; who are weighed down with guilty ’ consciences to come to Him. 3. Laid His Hands Upon Her (v. 13). At His touch she was made stralglit und glorified God. It was not enough to tcacb. He showed His sym: patliy by coming Into touch witli the suflering woman. Christ's followers are . to Imitate Him In teaching, and also In coming Into direct touch with thé needy, sinful, and burdened world. ill. The Indlgnttlon of the Ruler of the Synagogue (v. 14). . . . tinder thè pious pretense of loyalty to God lie showed that ritual Is of more Importance than mercy and love Read our big offer on page six It comes to clothing the children c6fcjf6rtably and. at- ^|?;!;'itl^ctlvely, thefe.

Could anything look mure “grownup" lhan the brusli-wool cuffs and collar? Big sister, no doubt, had Just such a trimming of brush an gora' on her sweater which she wôre to the ball game a day or so ago. Perhaps sister Is not grownup at all, but verifies the flapper age, and in tliat case she will likely be wearing a sure enough sweater of tuxedo, type, same as Is Illustrated liere. This Is a very Iwudsonie model having an invisible all-over pattern In brown on a toast- colored background, the entire gar ment having the new fu^zy brush-wool surface wiilch Just now is so vorj> fashionnble. I t was not prtmarfly concern for ritual, but hatred for Jesus that moved him to Indignation. He was too cowardly to attack the Lord directly, so turned to the people and hit at Him over their backs. He pretended great concern for the healing of tlie people but ad vised that they come in the six days, and not thus have the Sabbath pro faned by such a Kucrlleglous act as the healing of this poor woman. This man la the type of the many hypo crites among ua today. IV. The Lord's Reply to the Ruler (vv. 15, 10). Jesus removes the mask of hypoc risy frotii the ruler as He points out their own custom as a condemnation of tiiclr pious pretense. Ho argues from the lesser to the greater.' If It was right to take mlmals wliich had only been tied for a few hours, to water on the Sabbath day, certainly it was, right to bring relief to this woman who-had been bowed for eight-- een years. - Human beings are of more value than animals. This wom an was a daughter of Abraham and not a sinner of low-down character. The principle which Jesus set forth restored the Sabbath to Its .true purpose. V. Shamed Adversaries and Re joicing People (v. 17). The tide was now turned. Their.e:;- posure was so great that their con sciences smote'them. The argument* against morals and tbe church are of the same type today. Tho grown-ups went about during the days before Xmas saying: “It doesn’t look as thougli there would be any snow for Xmas."

B; • Hardaway Contracting company, contractors for building . a new double width steel and concrete bridge on the national highway over the Yadkin river at Spencer, is busy this week erecting camp houses for several hundred men to be employed on the big job. Twenty houses are under way and will be ready in a few days. The Hardaway company has oc cupied a new store building on the Rowan side of the Yadkin as an office and lodge rooms for the foremen. The whole job at Spen cer is in charge of R. E. Harda way, with a number of foremen, "experts in their respecttve^HnesT men with years of experience in structural steel and concrete work. Ground will be broken ina short time for the foundation of| the mammoth bridge which is to cost' $200,000 and it is expected that the pouring of concrete will begin about March 1. The erec tion of the huge gin poles with a 20-ton cat» crossing the river will be the first work done. The camp for the workmen, some 200 or more in number; is located near the double track rail road'bridge'and will make living quarters for them during year or more that will be required to com plete the highway birTdge span ning the river something like 200 feet above the main line of the Southern railway. "Besito several hundred nren- employed on the bridge conti act, about 200 are engaged on grade for larger railroad yards at Spen cer .while an equal number are employed on highway work near Spencèr, making upwards of 1,000 extra laborers at work in this vicinity for a greater part of 1923. Raleigh, Jan. 6. - Striking at thefoundation of taxation through its proposal to completely divorce the public school system from it and provide for distribution of the equalizing fund of each coun ty to be determined by the state board of education, the edacation al commission’s school measure now is receiving more serious con sidération than any other in the the North Carolina general as sembly. Advocates of the measure take the position that the new system of each county giving its valua tion of property and tax rates has been a failure in so far as providing sufficient funds for school purposes is concerned. When the ad valorem method of taxation was dropped at the - end of the Bickett administration; values in many counties immedia tely showed a large decline, there by causing a wide variance in the equalizing fund, it was stated. “It is very desirable, therefore since the state levies no ad valor em tax and since it is disposed to leave the determination of the values of property of the several counties to local officials,” accord ing to Dr. E. C. Brooks, state superintendent of public instruc tion.” that the equaling fund shall be apportioned on such a basis as to make it impossibiè for reductions in property values of a county, except in extraordinary cases, to affect the amount to be apportioned by the state.” The equalizing fund last year was approximately $900,000. ifext- yoar, tho superintendent What will the General Assembly which is now in session at Raleigh, do for the State of North Carolina remains to be seen. Like many other state legislatures, it may prove a miserable dis appointment to the citizens of the State, but somehow we have faith that it is going to keep up the forward march in progressive legislation. Of course, it will pull some “bone-head” stuff, as there are always those members present in every General Assembly who must make a hobby of this kind of legislation. Nevertheless, if the speech of Hon. John G. Dawson in accepting the speakership of thé House of Representatives, is to be construed as a barometer of the results of the work of the General Assembly, then we may look for big things to be done—things that will, not only keep the state’s progressive movement up to its past two years stand ard, but push it still further in the line of progressive states of the union. Speaker Dawson, in his address of acceptance, indicated that no-backward-steps-are-torbei;akenrthatrthe“stateTnuBt-contÌTn«rto: look after its unfortunates, the construction of more and better roads, the education of the children of the commonwealth—in other words, his attitude was that we should not put our hands to the plough and look backward. His attitude was that taxation that brings profitable returns to the tax payers, is not burdensome. He has led out with the theory that there is-a scattering which increatheth. We believe, therefore, that it is going to be the sentiment of the present General Assembly to make additional improvements and let the wealth pay. the additional taxation rath er than to go backward at this time. Two years ago when the General AssemWy_jpaMedJhe^^^ and educational biils appropriating millions of dollars for the building of our public schools, and higher state institutions of learning, even some of the most progressive and forward looking citizens were fairly staggering at the immensity of the expendi tures ordered. Yet, there were those who had faith that rather than become a burden these appropriations would be an advantage.

FALIRIVER CO; WiLl BUY MILL NEAR СН А Ш П Е Fall River, Mass., Jan. 4.—The Sagamore Manufacturing com pany is contemplating the pur chase of a southern mill as an ad junct to' the local plant, it was announced today by Treasurer William L. s. Brayton. He said the corporation already had thé, plans of two plants of 50,000 spindles each located with in; 30 miles of Charlotte, North Carolina, and it was assured that one of them would be purchase i in ^he near fiitiure. stated, approximately $1,250,000 will be needed if the tax rates stay where they are now. After making a state.-wide in vestigation of school and financial conditions, the educational com mision reached the decision that the equaling funds must be con tinued for the next several years to aid weak counties and that the fund to be drawn by each county should be determined by the state board of education, certified to the county boards of education on or before June 1 of each year, and that the commiaaionera then should levy a tax sufficient to pro duce the remainder necessary to maintain the schools for six months. ' Since the following provisions would affect each county in^ the state, observers tonight predicted a long and hotly contested' fight in the committee sessions on the floors of both houses. MAKE STUDY OF BlßLE COMPULSORY IN SCHOOLS Raleigh, Jan. 7.—James A. Hartness, of Statesville, is here seeking to arouse sentiment a- mong the legislators' in favor of a law making the study of the Biblo in the public schools com- pulaor.v. . A bill with thisi: provi sion will be introrluced in Ihe.gen ei-al assembly within the. next week or so. The veteran democratic leader of Iredell has been an advocate of Bible 8fU(J.v in the aclioois' for years. He has tulked with many many of th2 senators and rep'e- sentatives, and he believes sentir ment among, them is strongly in favor of his proposal. Exemption of children consci entiously objecting to the study or reading of the book would be. prodded for in the,measure, but: the Bible would be aregular study course from a non-soatarian standpoint, among all otherSi : even from a pecuniary standpoint. We have lived to see the time come when from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada, North Carolina is being talked of as the most progressive state in the union. As a result business men are looking this way. The man with great sums of money to spend is considering North Carolina as the best place to invest. This state has gotten more favorable advertising during the past twelve months than in any other decade in the past. Possibly one of the biggest things that will come up for con sideration by the present Général Assembly will be the State Shipping Bill. A special committee has been appointed to consider this matter, and as time passes it looks as though the state will be given the necessary machinery with which to equip and operate a line of steainships from the Atlantic Coast cities of this state to various ports of the country, and. Possibly, foreign countries. Now the average Davie County citizen might wonder how this steamship line would help him in the least. There.are many ways in which this would be an advantage to us here in this county. One of the biggest disadvantages to North Carolina business in the past has been-the, freight raté discrimination against this state ;practiced by the railroads. If freight comes high, then the consumer must pay the bill. : If freight for shipping our cotton out of the state is excessive, the cotton producer must lose this amburit. The same is true of tobacco—in fact, in the case of any thing shipped either in or; out of the state. If the state should equip and maintain its own private steamship line from its eastern cities to Néw York,‘Boston, Baltimore, and other northern centers of business, this should be á means whereby North Carolina busi ness could demand moré just freight rates. This is one .way in which the average fai-mer and business man, even of Davie and other counties not bordering on the Atlantic, would reap benefits from the, maintenance of a State line of steamships. We hope that a measure of this kind will pass, and we hope that the present session of the North Carolina GeneVfvl Assembly will continue to push forward progressive legislatiori, that old North Carolina may grow arid develop and become rich and po\yer- ful.as well as possess an intelligent and educated citizenship, It requires mpney, intelligence, and character to make a great state. If N6rth,Carblina has these she need have no fears for her future development: but we cannot have money..without intelligence, and it is hard^,to have cUara,cter without intelligence. MEASURE WOULD PUT STATE TO THE fRONT Senator MendenhalLWorking on Bill to Advertise State’s Opportunities Raleigh, Jan. 7. - Advertise ment of North Carolina's oppor tunities to the outside world is the object of a bill almost com pleted for introduction in the general assembly by senator 0. E. Mendenhal.l, oiE the. 17th dis trict. The establishinent of a state chamber of commerce, with a fund of $200,000 raised by pri vate donations of half the amount to supplement a legislative apprior priation of $100,500^ is proposed by the measure. At the suggestion of Governor Cameron Morrison, the bill is be ing withheld from introduction in order that it may be altered to conform with a plan that the exe- cutive-is-expected-to-incorporate in his message to the assembly, it was stated. The governor pro bably will recommend the crea tion of a state department of commerce, which would be ex pected to devote some of its op erations to the promotion of the state’s interests for which the Mendenhall measure is framed, according to information. "North Carolina can accomo date easily 10,000,000 inhabit ants,” said the senator, "instead of two and a half millions vte have and the state would be en riched by thè increased number. At présent there are only fifty persons to the square mile in the state, and a vast area of unde veloped agricultural land exists.

"Many northern, eastern and middle-western people who mig rate annually to Florida find by experience that they really pre fer North Carolina’s climate and conditions. A state chamber of commerce could help.promote this feeling and enable the state to read benefits of securing this of citizenship for temporary and perhaps permanent residents,” he said. IN CERTIFICATES TURNED IN Washington, Jan. 7.—Approxi mately one. third of the $625,000,- 000 in war savings certificates, maturing January 1 were turned nto the treasury for redemption or exchange into new treasury savings certificates during the first week after their maturity according to the treasury. Some thing like $100,000,000 worth of the stamps were offered for re demption or exchange in the first two days of the month, a state ment made public said but since then the off era of holders of the certificates to cash them in or take new treasiiry offerings in exchange have materially slowed. The treasury again called at tention that interest on the ,1918 issue of war savings certificates stopped January 1 and urged the holders bf such securities to pre sent them to postoffices or banks where they will be redeemed in cash or exchanged. The exchang es may tie made without loss of nterest to January 15. We often see a-man so lazy bis wife even has to go to.church for him. the report sent out front Raleigh and appearing in North Carolina papers on Thursday that .'the state would undertake to deal with the General Education board direct and not through Trinity college, through which the offer to the state has been made. He had asked the writer what w u said in the reports. "That’s, all hot air. I know nothing about it Nobody at the education board office here knows anything about it,” he replied to queries. 'Go to Dr. Chase and Dr. Pew to the people who are interested. We are not They are the only ones that know anything about i t ” he said.

Dr. Flex- ner answered indefinitely that he talks with thousands of people and that he has had requests b r more money than the board would ever have. Neither Dr. Chase nor Dr. Few has asked for a con* ference within the last few days, he said. Dr. Simon Flexner, head of the. Rockefeller foundation, oflices in the same building with those of the General Education board, at 61 Broadway, could not be locat ed tonight. ♦-------------- Starts New Year Right Mocksville Enterprise, ■ „ • Mocksville, N.

As it is, pur repre- ’sentative has been placed on .some of the nlpst important com- mitte.iS of the lower house, he stands in with the leaders of. the democratic party and his influ ence for good will be very great ly enhanced by reason of this. : T-------------------------- The republican leaders were opposed to the League of Na tions two years ago because they said it would entangle us with Europe’s disagreeable aiTairs. They said we must stay at home and let Europe attend to its own troubles. A majority of the vot ers of the United States argeed with them two years ago, and the League of Nations was re pudiated. We refused to join it but stayed on the outside so that when trouble took place in Europe we would not have to be woi-rieci with it. That’s what we thought about the matter thnn, out, fav. will some republican please tel; us why westill have twelve hund red American troops in Germany, and will some republican please tell us why we sent all those big battleships to the Dardanelles only R few weeks ago? Will some one please explain to us why, if we are not already en tangled with Eurt pean aft’nirs, although we did not join the Lea gue of Nations? Do you think for yourself? If you do how do you harm mize developments of the past thirty days ia Europe and our implication in the troub les over there, with the argu ments put forward two years ago by the republican leaders. If the situation doesn’t speak for it self we should lik.e for some une to tell us why. Editor The Enterprise: Allow me to submit some com ments on your editorial last week in regard to the Ku Klux Klan, and those who believe that it has no proper place in this American Republic. In the first p!aee it furnishes a cloak • for all kinds of criminals and human cur.^ to car.-y on their evil work. Even though it cou!d be proved that no member of the Klan had been gailty of the many crimes laid to its do>r, which range all the way frjm waylay ing and whipping women' on the public roads of North' Cirolin'i to the kidnapping, torture and murder of veterans of the world war in Louisiana, yet the fact re.-nains that they were commit ted by persona wearing the re galia of the Klan. And in the .state of Texas the Klan has ad- miit=d the commission of acts of mob violence. No one ever heard of a criminal wejri;tir the rc>galia of the Masons, ( r 0>id Fel’ows, or Knights or, Pythias to cover up their crimes. Agam I never heard of a memb?r of one of these orders keeping his member- .ship secret as though ho wore ashamed of it. The Klan wears a costume which provides ac:m plele diisguise and it keeps its inemberahip secret so the public does not know wh'íther they are the boasti'd “best citizens” or not, and they carry on their acti vities under covfr of darkness. We have the word of our Blessed Lord that certain people love darkness raiher than light be cause their deeds are evil. In the second place it is organ ized to stir up and provoke race and leligious hatred under the gijise of Chrisliiinity and “100% Americftiii-sm”. L huve no great iUimiriUion fpA- the Jews nor for the R iman Catholic church, for I have lived in 'arge communities where they were strong and I know their sho.'tcomingj from personal experience. Still I know too that thT vast majority of them are as true and loyal citi zens as we have, 0ns of the finest fiihting outfits sent over seas was the old Sixty-Ninth New York National Guard regi- merit; an outfit almost 100 per C2nt Roman Catholic. To Say that these men, those who came back crippled and wound-d, anc those who sleep the long sleep in foreign soil because they follow- ed Old Glory; to^ay that thes e men are.not 100 per cent Ameri can because they do not hold the same religion as we do is to say that which is untrue. And the s ime holds true"of the thousands of Jews and the thousands o negroes who, woi’e the olive drab of Uncle Sam. Many of them proved by their deaths that thSy were bitter Americans th'an^me who today shout the loudest about their patriotism. And yet'the Klan preaches far and wide the Romanist, or the Jew, or thé; negro who died in the uniform' of the American army while disr charging the duty wh’ch the! na tion had given him, is not* 100 per cent American for the sim ple r>ason that his si\in is a dif ferent color or his re'igion is dif forent from ours. That is neith er the spirit of AmeKci norof our Blessed Lord. And third. The Klan teaohes a divided loyalty. It boasts opçnly and defiantly that it is an invisi ble empire to which many m?n who hold office under the Ameri can R-jpublic have sworn their allegiance No man who has sworn to uphold the bigotry and prejudice of this “empire”, whose citizens hide their identity behind hood and mask, is fit to hold any office under thé Republic which stands for freedom of the indivi dual and the equality of all men before the l iw. A judge on the bsnch -who belongs to the Klan must be untrue to one oath or the other every time any mem ber of the proijcribed class comes before him. He muat violate his oath taken as judge to administ er impartial justice between man and without regard to the Indivi dual or he must violate his oath to the Klan which requires him to regard certain classes as en titled t") less consideration than others. The ab^ve are some of the rea sons why there is so much op- P'sition to the Klan. There are thousands of us who have sworn allegiance only to God and the American government who s?e in the Klan a menace to all that either God or America stand tor; and who for this reason ofipose it now and will continue to op pose it until it comes out into the open where all may judge the character of its membership on the same basis that it judges the membership of the Masons or any o; her fraternal order, by person al knowledge of those .who be- 1 ing to it; and also until it takes off its mask and so ceases to furnish a clonk for evil doors.

If the system ia in good shape—the membrane of the air passages in ,a healthy condition—these gern-s do not breed.

On returning homo, melt a littla Vicks in n tin cup or a spoon and Inhale tho vapors. • ci Opposed to Bactcria Tho InirrodiBnts of Vicks are not only antiseptic, but rubefaciont—that is, they summon the blood to the tiESuea where applied and this free blood circulation is nature's best method of repelling germ in fection.

Acts Two Ways-At Once Vicks is of benefit in cold troubles in two w^ys. . 1st—It is absorbed thru and stimulates the skin, thus helping to re lieve the Boroness, loosen the phlegm and make the breathing less difficult. 2nd—At the same time the Ingredients,. roloased as vapors by the body heat, are taken with each breath directly into the congested, Inflamed air passages. A yapor Lamp in Salve Form Vicks is the discovery of Mr. L. Richardson,. a North Carolina druggist. He realized that cold troubles were affections of the respiratory organs and that the only way to get medication direct to these parts was in the form of vapors. Mr. Richardson finally worked out tho process for making Vicksi CO made that the body heat re- lonses tho volTtl'.o inprod'ents in the form of vapors. Vic!:s really, is "a vapor lamp in salve form."

Notice of Sale! z I “Slakers” in Citizenship Thè-'fòilowing is from an edi torial' in the Pittsburgh Dispatch : "W^iie Senator Pepper made particular reference to ‘the sons of privilege in America degener- atingfrito_little snobs, who think them£felv&s too good for politics,’ this mental attitude is not limited to that comparatively small class. If thè people who think them- selves tco good for politics w^ulii interest themselves in public af fairs politics would soon cease to be a reproach. But so long as they stariiJ aloof, fearful of being besmirched by contact with those who manage our public business, too often for personal gain and in disrégard of the public inter ests, the ‘little snobs’ will conti nue to have cause to complain of the brand of politics they consid er themselves too good to im prove.” Commenting on th’s tlie Twin- City Sentinel says: "AH of which is everlastingly true. Often people who take least in terest in politics are the ones who complain loudest when things seem to go wrong. They are willing to c’iticize, but they are not willing to take enouih interest at the right time in public affairs to prevent things from going wrong. They seem to imagine that they are too good to participate in po liti ' As a matter of fact, nobody is too good to take a pare in the hai dling of public questions. That is the first duty of an\ citizen, and if he falls down there he fails at a very vital puint. One of the greatest needs in this country today is the recogni tion to a greater extent of this obligation on the part of citizens to show an interest in public niat- teri. That kind of thing has been neglected long enough. Cerluinly the man who persist- in holding aloof trom politico would seem to. forfeit the right to criticize when things are not as they-should be.” In .Superior Court Noticeof Sale North Carolina, Davie County, V.

JUNIOR TOPIC—TcachlnB Courtesy.INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Otliers. YOUNO PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —The Spirit oi Christian' Service. I. Jesus Dines With.a Pharisee (v. 1). .Tesus entered freely Into tho common social customs of the day. Wo sec lllm at a wedding, a dinner party. In the home of slclmess, and at a funeral lie was truly a man among men. He was unlike John the Baptist hi this respect. Tho Christian's Influence Is best when mingling with his fellow- men In all right relations and positions In Ute, even tliOugU selflaU and evil- minded persona -are found among them. This does not. mean that he should ho a partaker .of their evil deeds. Jesus In thus moving In all circles of human society showed the divine sympathy. While Jesus was In society he was not of It. So should the Clirlstlan be. Jesus was In a com pany outwardly courteous but Inward ly hostile. Doubtless the motive of the invitation was to And an occasion against Him. This Is Implied In the ■statement, "they watched Him.” II. Jesus Healing a Dropsical Man (vv. 2-0). 1. AVhy This Mao-Was Present (v.2). There Is no way of absolutely de termining it, but likely It was part of a plot of the Pharisees to trap Jesus by getting Him to violate tlie Sabbath rules. 2. Jesus’ Question (v, 8). Jesus’ question was an answer to Uie thoughts of. the lawyers and. Pharisees who were watching Him, for they hod not spoken. Before healing this man He submitted the case to their Judgment. They were free on the Sabbath day to hold a feast where their seinsh pride and vanity could be displayed, but they were horrified that a fellow-man should be healed on the Sabbath. They were sUent because their consciences made them ashamed of their heartlessness. 8.; Healing the Sian (v. 4). While they were In a state of embarrassment Jesus healed the man and let him go, 4. Jesus Bebuke« Them (vv. 6, 0). He laid bare tlielr hypocrisy by show ing them tlmt their willingness to show mercy to a beast on tho Sabbath should Induce them to regard as not sinful to relieve a human being of distress on the Sabbath. They were again silent, for they perceived tlielr Inconsistency and Inbumanlty. III. Jesus Rebukes Selfish Ambi tion (vv. 7-10). 1. The Occasion (V.-.7): He obsen’ed that the guests while taking their places at the table chose the best scats for tlicmselves. This Is still tru( of men and women. In the railway cars, hotels, street cars, etc., tliey scramble for the best places. In the homes even members of.the same fam ily win try to get the best food, etc. 2. Instnictloa-r Given, (vv. 8-11). When bidden to a feast, take the low est placo lest you suffer the humilia tion of being asked to take a lower seat. This Is more than a lesson on courtesy or table manners; It Is a severe rebuke of that selflshness which lllls tho Uimiun heart, causing It to seek to be ministered to Instead of minister ing to others. Unselfishness, will ex press Itself In humbly taking the low est place, esteeming others better than ourselves. The fundamental principle of tho philosophy governing the moral world, Jesus declare.4 to be: "Whoso ever exaltetli himself shall be abased, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted." IV. The True Motive In Deeds of Charity (vv. 12-14). Jesus takes advantage of this social occasion to teach a great principle. Tho Jews, like many of the rich todoy, made social dinner occasions for dis play. They Invited only those whose wealth would enable them to recom pense them by Inviting them In return. Jesus took note of the selfishness thus displayed and set forth to them the right principle, namely, that they should e.’itond their hospitality to the poor and aflllctod. All charitable deeds should be done with unselfish motives. Jesus assured them that compensation would be mode at tho resurrection of the Just. This does not mean that friends and neighbors of certain rank should never exchange pleasant hos pitalities. Wealth should be, used to confer blessings ufton tho poor and needy Instead of ministering to the pride and vanity o# the possessor. How Churches Grow. Once tlipro was a Chinese laundry.

And tiien he became a bigger boy— for <lve years he had llv(!d In tho world with his mother and father and his sis ter, Elaine. She had only Joined the family a lit tle while ago. I^lalne was the baby sis ter. And Mlalnc had been named after a beautiful poem—such a lovely name It was, Danny thought, though It was a bit hard for him to say. Ho callcd her "Sister.” Now, Danny was not afraid of any thing. lie wanted to be friends with everyone and with every animal, too. His mother was afraid he might pet some cross animal at .some time, so she thought It was best to tell him he mustn’t touch any strange animal. "Can’t I stroke a strange dog, moth er?” he asked. "No,” his motlier saldj "It Is wiser not.” "Can’t I stroke a strange cat, moth er?” "Safer not, Danny,” his mother an- 8^vered. "Whnt nhont a hnr.so, mother?” "Not unless you’re told the horse Is known not to be one to bite. You SCO, many animals have had people The Earnest of the Spirit. Now ho tlmt hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto UB tho earnest Of tlie Spirit, —U CorlnthlauB , "A Special Good-By.” who have been mean to them and who have teased them, and they get Into the way of being cross. Most times you really can’t blame the animal— they have had to put op with so much. "But 1 think It Is better for you not to stroke nny animal,” she added. "Only you, mother,” Danny had said, and his mother had laughed. Then there had been tho first time Danny had ever gone to the country. There was swimming nearby, and how Danny did love getting Into his bathing suit and paddling about and climbing over the rocks and throwing sticks out Into the water. But, best of all, he liked the chick ens. There was quite n little walk out to the chicken coop from tlie house, and when Danny wanted to go there a second time he found he had forgot ten Just which path led tliere. Danny, though, was u city child, and he knew that people always spoke of living on this or that block. So, when he started for the chicken coop, he said: "Mother, Just which block do-the clilckens live on? I’ve forgotten which block It was where their house Is.” And Danny didn’t quite see why they lauphcd and why they used the Word path when In the country and speaking of the chicken coop. Now, when Christmas time came, Danny’s motlier took him to a big store, whore It was said Santa Claus would appear. And sure enough, there was Santa Claus. And he dressed Just the way Danny had always Imagined ho \vould dress. Santa Claus asked every one of the children who had come, to tell him their names and what they wanted for Christmas, and also he wanted to know where they lived. And all the children did as Santa Claus said, and they talked to him and had such a good itioe hearing of days up North and of ¿11 tho news of his reindeer. Then, when It was time for Danny to leave, ho said a special good-by to Santa, and told him once more that Elaine was with them now. And Santa said: "Good-by, Danny, and Santa won't forget to come down your chimney on Christmas eve.” But Danny thought a moment, and then he .said; "Isn’t tlmt word chimney, Santa?” And every one laughed and smiled, for here was a little boy being so very, very careful of his words. But, as Danny said afterward, lib wanted to let Santa know that he knew every word that had anything to do with Christmas, while Santa knew everything so well ahuut Ohrlatmaa ' and had known fur su lung a time everytlhng about Cliri.stiaa8 that sume- tlmus now lie used speulal words llxed all up by lilumelfl And that, after all, was very ulcu, .ÆagePiW Built in America and Carries Six FOR THE LONG EVENINGS we have a good line of books, also niosl of the popular magaTines.

EXILED KING DIES OF OROKEN HEART DO IT NOW Palermo, Jan, 11.—Former King Constantine of Greece, who died suddenly here today had never held up his head since his second abdication. His health had been poor and his spirits at low ebb since his arrival here from Greece after he left the throne. Often he was seen walking with his daughter but he always seemed weak and had an air of depres sion. *. Apparently the end was sud den and painless. It is said there was scai'cely tioie to call his fam ily around the death bed before {he former monarch passed away. When the physician declared that life was extinct. Princess Helen, Constantines eldest daughter, ex claimed: “Poor father, he died of abroken heart!” Constantine’s youngest daughter, Catherine, who was his favorite child, was overwhelmed with grief.

A total appropriation of $7,- 215,990.64 for the operations of the state were approved and re commended by the chief. Of this $3,433,133.83 is for the public schools and colleges, an increase of more than $1,300,000 over last year. The recommenditation for the general expenses of the state shows a deci ease. Speaking of the education ap propriation, the governor told the leeislatiors that he had no apolo gies to offer for “from one end of the state to the other that the people are demanding that this money be provided at a sacrifice and the amount proposed is suffi cient only to meet urgent needs.” To meet the increase he recom mends sales and luxuries taxes, taxes on corporations and Hydro electric power and increased in come and inheritance taxes. , Other recommendations made by the executive were: Elimination of the direct pro perty tax by stages; creation of a pardon board, with real powers; binnial sessions of the legislature; a marriage license heaItT bill; in creasing powers of prohibition of ficers; reforestration laws; abol ishment of the county fee system; and aporopriation of $1,000 for the Confederate monument in Vicksburg National Park. SELLS COFFINS AND STEALS THEM BACK Quite a sensation was stirred up among the negroes of Atlanta a few days ago by the discovery that a negro undertaker named L. F. Ware, had been engaged in the business of digging up and stealing back the caskets he was selling to his customers. Suspi cion had been aroused in various ways and detectives caught the grave robbers in the act. The practice was to go to the ceme tery the night of the burial, dr the next night, take up the cas ket, remove the body and put it fca''k in the box and then take the c::clc2t back to the undertak ing establishment. Investigation of ^the undertaking establishment disclosed several caskets that had been sold at from $100 to $5O0 each, with earth stains still on them, showing that they had been previously used. Ware and two negroes, he had been using to dig UD coffins were arrested and committed to jail. Ware denies any knowledge of the af fair; but his alleged employes cinfisaed. Every man may hav'e his price, | but you can’t always return him and get yop mon^y b^9k. We Must Light Our Streets—One Hun dred New Paid-In-Advance SubiBcri- bers In One Week Is Going Some The example of North Carolina as a progressive state should serve as a great lesson to Mocksville people. Capital wants to go where there are things being done and capital is going to go where things are being done. No prospective investor has hardly ever been known to go to a dead town or community. The man with money to invest in factories and other industries never asks what rate are the taxes, but he does make inquiry as to public improvement and other advantages such as roads, streets, schools, water works, sanitation and churches. Now then, size up Mocks ville. With all of our natural advantages, have we done anything in the way of making municipal improvements that would be calculated to appeal to the man of wealth who might be looking out for a new home and a new town in which to invest his thous ands? Do you think that a man who has been reared in a New England town, enjoying all of the advantages of modern street improvements, electric lights, etc., would be very seriously im pressed With Mocksville?, this great big old over-grown town that has not a piece of paved sidewalk as long as a yardstick and that slumbers in the dark, where one cannot get out a f night after six o’clock save under the most unfavorable conditions. We think the time has come when we should let no more time pass without taking steps to secure some paved sidewalks and certaTnly^lectrlc lights for our streets. We aré criticising ho one especially for present conditions. We are all to blame more or less. However, we are appealing to every one to join in this movement for streets and electric lights without further delay. Other towns this size have these improvements and Davie County has just as much money and just as many educated and cultured people and just as shrewd a lot of business men as any other town this size on the face of the earth. Then why can we not have some of the things that indicate progress, comfort and convenience. There is no use saying we can’t have these things, for we can. Guv trouble is we don’t want them bad enough* Lets get busy now as time Is passing and the world is looking itb North Carolina as the best place to invest. If we don’t come across with the necessary im provements to impress our town upon the outsider then those who have money to invest in factories will go to the towns where they can get these advantages. Folks, this is straight goods, and there is no use for us to shut our eyes to the fact that we must get busy if we expect to grow into a town of any consequence in the near future. Speaking of attracting Inveì tors to Mocksville, reminds us that this town ought to have a ¿owd bakery. Of course, to begin with, a small plant would be able to do sufficient baking to take care of the present demands, but a bakery started now would develop into a real big thing within the next two or three years, and we believe could be made a paying proposition from the be ginning. It certainly is a great convenience to the people of a town to have a local bakery where they can get cakes, pies, hot rolls, buns, and fresh loaves at any time. Another thing that we believe some enterprising business man would do woll to con&ider seriously is à laundry. We do not think that a laundry rèprésenting an outlay of fifteen or twenty thousand dollairs would hardly be a paying business just as pres ent, but a laundry süfilciéht to take Care of the heeds of Mocks ville at this time coul^ easily be equipped for an expenditure of around two or three thousand dollars. Then as the town grows the ownei: could add new ‘machinery so as to be able to take care of the demands from year to year. We think a little investigation would satisfy any prudent busi ness man that a good steam laundry in a good live town is a pay ing investment. Something else that we believe ought to have the attention of every citizen, is the iinprovement of the hotel facilities for Mocksville. There is no use talking, a town must have good hotel accohimodations or suffer the consequences. Nothing adds more to a town than a good hotel. Of course, the proprietors of the hotel hiere are doing well considering their conveniences and equipment. At any rate lets give this hotel question considera tion. .

BRYAN GRIMES VICTIM OF PNEUMONIA Diners, On Verge of Tears, Tell Funny Stories and Sing Ragtime While Dying Sol dier Cries to Musicians: “Play Me Some Rag” (By Hugh O’Concr mNew York World) A young man named Evans died dramatically at East Orange N. J., and was buried with cere mony a few days ago. He made the sort of flourish many a man might wish to make if notified of death in time, and notified so convincingly that there was nothing further to do about it but to meditate on the impor tance of what was about to hap pen to him. George Percy Evans of East Orange had almost a year to me ditate on it. He had been gassed at Chateau-Thierry, and after he By the way, did you notice our honor roll in our last issue. One hundred paid-in-advance new Subscriptions were secured for the Enterprise during Christmas week, to say nothing about the rienewals. We don’t know what you think of this, but we believe that most of our advertisers will agree with us that any weekly newspaper that can secure a hundred new, paid-in-advance, sub scribers in one week, without any special effort in the way of putting out canvassers, as was the case with us, is well on the road tovvarda success as a weekly publication. >Right here let us again say that the management of the Enterprise is exceedingly optimistic by reason of the wholehearted support which we are receiving'from the good people of Davie County, both as sub scribers and as advertisers.

W^y ijsn’t Davie Coun ty entitled tQ th^ beat vi^ekly newspaper in the state, anyway ? came home he developed tuber culosis. The stage was set favorably for him, and he was naturally well cast for thè role of Death Host that he eventually selected. He was one of the sort that makes a friend of everybody. As he grew up everybody in the Or anges knew him and he liked to have them call him Percy. His family name was something with a German sound, but he changed it to Evans when war was declar ed. It was not because he was afraid to wear a German name any longer that , he changed it— he was among the first dozen to volunteer from the Oranges. He felt simply that it was a draw back and that it interfered with people’s esteem. He asked his friends to forget it. After the war, when his tuber culosis developed, he was sent to Essex Mountain Sanltoriiim at Verona, N. J, And there he found that the invalids had se parated practically into those who are getting well, who boasted constantly to each other of their improvement—and those who were getting worse, who boasted of their decline. He was so ill then that he could not compete with the health boasters. And after a while, exchanging gloom with the others, he felt death ap proaching rapidly—at a place where death such as he was a- bout to die was a commonplace. The occasional letter he had from Buddy in East Orange were all that supported his individuality. Eventually he came to a con clusion. He had a small income that would provide for him while he lived out his days in East Or ange, so he moved back to his home on Main street. His friends came to visit him and he entertained them with comic stories. He did not conccal his firm belief that he was dying, but he always spoke casually of it. And instead of inviting com miseration he insisted upon know ing all about the dances and par ties his friends were attending. Now and then he spoke lightly of the stream of social enjoyment that flowed right along, heedless of any one’s death. And at last one day he said: “When I know I have only another week I’ll give a party of my own to all of my friends.” Sometime after that, when his boyhood friend, Joe Pinneran, was sitting beaidQ his bed, he said, “Joe, I want you to pick out a piece of real estate for me.” Joe is and undertaker and he guessed what Evans had in mind It embarassed him and he tried to drag in another subject bat General Assembly to Pay Tribute to His Name by Adjouring Raleigh, Jan. 11.—Colonel J.

The conference met on Dec. 23rd and was a “Christ mas Conference.” Three of the schools under the control of this conference then were the school at Clemmons, Greensboro Female College and Mocksville Academy. Among the preachers who at tended this conference were Peter Doub, Moses Brock, D. B. Nicholson, W. E. Pell, S. D. Bumpas, John E. Edwards, John W. Lewis, Bennet T. Blake and others. It is noted that at this session of the North Carolina Conference, John T. Brame, John Tillett, Gaston E. Brown, W. S. Chaffin, and John Rich were sev erely examined before being re ceived into the conference and elected-deacona FEW BARGAINS IN USED CARS $75.00 up See us before you buy.

FARMINGTON NEWS I Mocksville Team Overwhel- mes Cooleemee Quint In the first contest of the coun ty series of championship basket ball games, Mocksville complete ly buried the Cooleemee q jintet on the former’s coin't Friday af ternoon. Altho completely out played, the Cooleemee team fought gallantly for the whole 40 minutes of play, During the last half, with the score standing 39 and 11 in Mocksville’s favor, the Mocksville coach substituted the entire second team. For the re mainder of the game the scrubs scored 8 points and Cooleemee 8 points. The shooting of Wood ruff, Moore and Lanier were the features for Mocksville, as was also the guarding of Click and Waters’ the latter not allowing his man, to make a point. The Cooleemee quint showed flashes \eal classy passing, but were > to keep the pace long jjj^^to score .regularly.

Next Sunday at eleven o’clock is our regular preaching hour at the Methodist Church, hope the day will be such that we c.in have a good congregation. News seems to he scarce, but perhaps there will be more next week. The Enterprise is certainly growing in subscriptions. We If Andrew Yeargan could come to these scenes now with high ways stretching over the very same territory and in many cases over the very trail he took with his horse and saddlebags in his visitations what would he think. It has been 83 years since that memorable session at Mocksville and now the day when “the Lords cavalry” came over poor dirt roads to attend the meeting. This denomination has grown from a membership of 22.000 to over 125.000 and other sorts of growth have keep with this evi dence of progress. Some Thoughts F or The N ew Y ear. New Year resolves may be getting out of date but New Year thoughts, the uplifting, heat-di recting kind—that sort need never grow stale or unworthy of notice. Here are a few which I have gleaned from the Youths Companion which I have read for forty years and never wasted minute at that sort of reading: Both Minds and Fountain Pen will work when willed; But Minds like Fountain Pens must first be filled. Hero ia one for you if you have a habit of wasting time: “A man employs the time you make him wait, in summing up your Faults; so don’t be late.” Dan Beard’s Outdoor School It was in New York at a meet ing of the Camp Fjre Club that Wfl met this great old Chief Scout of the U. From The Cooleemee Journal We notice that the Mocksville Enterprise of last week, publish ed a weekly “honor roll” of new and renewal subscriptions for Christmas week. The list was 30, and 100 of the number were new subscribers which were tak en in in two days of Christmas week. That is a record of which any weekly or simi-weekly news paper in the country might, with pride, boast.

But, like a great many other worth while things, W'e must know how before we can do it Raising chickens is a delight ful pastime if you understand it.

But a dovll on- torcd it and stirred up discontent in ilie heart of tlie yoiingor son. Ilo be- canie tired oC the restraints of home. His desire for freedom moved him to wilfully choose to leave homo—throw off the (•nnstraliits of his father’s rule. Sin Is the doslro to he tree from the re straints of rightful authority and for' selllsh Indulgence. It starts out with' wrong tboHghls about Cod. At the re-' nuest of the son, tlie father "divided unto them bis living.” II. The Son’s Departure (v. i.l). Ilnving made the llnal decision he got his goods In portable shape. Having thrown off the restraints ot his father’s rule ho eagerly withdrew’ from Ills fa- Uier’s presence. This Is always the way sin works. He "gatliered all to- getlier.” W'hen the sinner casts off bis allegiance to God ho lakes all that ho has with him. He not only wastes his moire.vrbTit lilff cliafiicler Is sacrfilcoiK III. The Son's Degeneration (vv. 18- M). I Ие had a good time while his money lasted, but thu end camo quickly. Tho indications are that his course was soon run. From plenty in his father's Ikaiso to destitution In the far coun try was a short Journey. Tho sinner Is soon mado to realize the famliio wlien his very powers which minis tered to bis pleasure are burned out. IV. The Son's Degradation (vv. 15, 10). , He had no friends to help him when his money was all gone, so he was driven to lilro out to a citizen to feed swine. It was (jtllte a change from a sonship In his father’s house to feed ing hogs in tbe far country. So it Is; those who w-111 not serve God are mado slaves to iho devil to do his bidding (Uom. 0:10). In his .shame and dis grace the prodigal could not oven got the necessary food. Tho coarse food of the hogs was denied him. V. The Son's Restoration (vv. 17-2-1). 1. He Came to Illmself (v. 17). When ho rellected a hit ho was mado conscious that, though bo had wronged his father and ruined himself, .vet ho was a son of his I'litber. In the ilays of his slnnbig he was beside himself. Tho world calls tho sinner wlio leaves off his evil ways crazy, but In reality lie just becomes sane. If we could but got sinners to think seriously of their condition It would be more easy to get them to turn from their sins. 2. His Itesolution (v. IS). His re flection ripened Into resolution. The plcturo of his home, whore even tbe hired servants bad a superabundance, moved him to make a decision to leave tho far country anO go home. 3. Ills Confession (vv. 18, 19). Ho acknowledged that his sin Avas against heaven und his fathei^that ho had forfeited his right to be called a son, and begged to bo given a place as a hired servant. The sinner not only should make a resolution; he should confess bis sin; for with the.heart man belleveth'unto righteousness, and w’lth the mouth confession Is made unto salvation. 4. ills .Vctlon (v. 20). Action was needed. Itesolution will not avail un- le.ss accompanied with action. 6. His Ueceptlon by His Father (vv. 20-2-J). Tho father had not for gotten his son. During tho years ho longed for bis return. Ho must often have looked for him, for be saw him when ho was a great way off. So anx ious was ho for . him that he ran to meet him nnd fell upon his nock nnd kissed him.

He looks upon the tender of the appointment as a high honor and his close friends anticipated he would make known his willingness to assume the of fice, delaying, however, actual acceptance until the legislat ire aijourna, A boom for Mr. Everett was started today, by members of the general assembly and at the same time movements in behalf of .’James A. Hartness, clerk of court of Iredell county, and Alfred M. McLean, of Lillington, secretary to Senator Overman, launched. It was understood the governor had not been approached concern ing the candidacy of either of the three, and the'tender tonight of thi> appriintirient-ta was entirely voluntary on his part. Mr. Everett, despite an active business life, has been interestec in public affairs for years. He served aa mayor of Rockingham three terms, served as charman of the boai-d of education of Rich mond county and lield offices 0 trust in the county. He was a member of the state senate in 1917 and in 1921 he became member of the house. He is one of the ^ leaders of the present house and an outspoken champion of Governor Morrison’s program. He also has been a member 0: the board of trustees of the Uni- vei-sity of North Carolina for some years. Both the governor and Mr, Everett are anxious that the re presentative keep his seat in the house for the remainder of the session- For that reason actua acceptance of the appointment may be delayed until then. Secre tary Grimes’ ofRce force is an ef ficient one and it can carry on the work capably for the next two months. Mr. Everett said tonight he was intensely interested in seeing numerous measures go through the assembly and in Governor Morrison’s program and that if he should accept the appointment he would want to continue in the house to fight for the proposals he is supporting. By delaying acceptance he may remain on the floor. The tender of the appointment to Mr. Everett was a matter of great satisfaction here tonight. The general assembly was practi cally a unit for him. In fact, the move to procurt his appointment was started in the assembly and members were expecting to poin in a petition to the governor next week in behalf ot the Richmond man. He has farming interests in Richmond and adjoining counties and is interested in one of the largest mercan'ile establishments in his section of the state. Both . he and Airs. Everett are well known in Raltigh society and have many friends here who are delighted with the prospects of having them join the state’s official circle. flower that re.semb'ed a poppy— it was at Chateau Thierry that he was gassed. He smiled wanly and sank into the armchair that had been set at the head of the t ible. Ai his friends propped him up with pil'ows, some one struck up, ‘‘For he’s a Jolly Goog,Fellow’ and everyone sang it. As it fin ish.d, Percy Evans raised his hand for silence. “You can go the limit tonight,’ he said. "Nothing is barred. ■! only ask you not to wreck the pluc?.

And all the time no one coult keep from thinking that the man at the head of the table is dying but we must say none of the us ual sorrowful things. The more convival they grew, thq more fanatically they respected the ta boo. It made them une'^sy, Ihere- fo.-e, and a few even felt inclined to fight about it as bad taste, when Joe Finneran, who is a pro fessional ball player as well as an undertaker, told how he used to play with Percy when they were boys and on the sand lots of East Orange and spoke of “other times” with a trace of sadness in his voice. Later in the evening, Thomas Cudire presented a silver loving cup and a cane to Evans and he stood up to reply. He leaned weakly forward, resting both of his hands spread out on the table cloth. ‘ ‘I'll try not to be sentimental, ” he said, ‘‘but I know I have only a few more days left. I’m like all the others who have what I’ve got inside here” —he tapped his chest—‘‘we go along getting worse and then someday it comes on us suddenly and it’s all over. I know it won’t be much longer. That's why I wanted to have you here. The old bell in the church down on the corner will be ding- donging for me like I’ve heard it ding-donging for a lot of other fellows—although most of them were older than I. Come to think of it, there iin’t anything I wanted to say to you tonight except that 1 appre ciate your coming to see ms when I was flat on my back. I simply wanted to have you with me and hear you s—ing and Jaugii again b°fore the old bell” — He sat back suddenly in the itrmchair as If hi.s strength had failed him and waved his hand toward the orchestra leader: “Play some jazz, please.” Five weeks passed after the dinner although Evans had ex pected it would be only a week. A few nights ago some friends visiied him in his furnished room cn Main street. “I guess the scrap’s about over now.” he told them. “Stay a little while, won’t you, fellows” ? „ They d’d. At 11 o’clock the church bells sounded the hour and Evans oijsned his eyes and ap- ;ieared to listen carefully. At the ,ast stroke, he smiled helplessly nnd closed his oyes.

What Does This Mean? This volume of deliveries to actual owners is entire- ©f-t-he-year--------^— It has taxed the manufacturing ability of the Ford plants working at full capacity— It indicates a volume of business during the rapidly approaching months of “heavy demand” which will be far beyond the maximum production schedule which the Ford Motor Company has set—• And that means a Ford shortage even more acute than the one which existed last Spring and Summer. Dealers’ stocks all over the country are low—there are no reserves to draw upon to meet the demands for delivery— There is no way in which dealer reserves can be built up, as deliveries have been made to customers as fast as Cars could be manufactured since last April. The only way you can protect your desire to obtain prompt delivery of a Ford even at this time is to place your order immediately. This emphasizes more strongly than anything we could possibly say the necessity of your making prompt arrangements with a Ford Dealer for the listing of your order, particularly if you are con templating the purchase of a Ford Car or Truck for use this Spring or Summer. We believe you are entitled to know these facts as they actually exist.

The extent and variety of these posse.s8ions only began to draw upon them during their hurried preparations for the . homeward voyage. Some are expressing the fear that their menagerie will have to be left on the Rhine. The men have acquired many strange creatures, ranging from monkeys to Rhine fish. The exact number of German police dogs in the outfit is unknown, but there are multitudes, and in addition there are numerous dashhounds, turtles, monkeys and song birds. Of the intimate objects, there are queer little music boxes fixed in the bottom of beer steins that, when properly worked, make noises like birds; there are weird collections of post cards, antique pictures and all varieties of carv ed pipes, the great supplies of carpets and civilian clothes, the latter including queer shaped hats and silk underwear bought at riduculously low prices in Colo gne, together with furs and other odds and ends. Getting all this duffle aboard the St. Michiel has become a great problem, but all in all, it is certain the St. Mihiel will be fully load ed. But it is to take that counts as what officers and men are leav ing behind. The majority are pulling up by the roots the life they learned to love; it not so much what the soldiers want is not a refinient, but a coloqy that . j§ being movpdi There will remain for a time fifty officers and men to straigh ten out the records, dispose of property and settle claims. Major General Allen and Colonel Wil liam W. Hart, chief of staff of the army of occupation, probably will head this rear guard. They will close down the model farm where cattle, hogs. chickens,rab- bits, fruits and vegetables have been raised. and which was at tached a large dairy. One place which officers and men will abandon with great re gret is Carnival Island, the scene of many horse shows and base ball and football matches. Iia diamond is regarded as the finest in Europe, and the games there not only excited the wonder o the Germans, but placed allied soldiers in close contact with A- merican sports. Washington, Jan, 18. — The south is too busy going forward to worry about “coming back,” according to F. Roger Miller, of Macon, Ga., president of the Southern Commercial Secretaries association, who is in Washing ton attending a meeting of the advisory board of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States ‘From the earliest days of the pioneers down to the present, the south’s record has been one of continúes progress, all of the greatly exaggerated reports of drouth, famine boll weevil inva sion, panic, and night riders to the contrary notwithstanding. "Any comparison of statistics will convince the most skeptical 10,000 Pieces On Quilt >eveiopment In Prospect For Future Is Staggering, Says Roger Miller. that the south has been growing steadily, is now developing a phenomenal rate, and will conti nue to progress in greater pro portion than any other section of ike area in the United States. "The difficult thing for the peo ple of the north and east to re alize and understand is that the south, the birthplace and cradle of the republic is comparatively new country and that its im mense resources have barely been touched by the remarkable econo mic development of the past century. “The development in prospect for the future is almost stagger ing in its stupendous possibilities. Unlimited resources are as yet untouched.

Not only is it a matter of regret on our part that Mrs. Critz is leaving the Enterprise, but it will be a source of great disappointment to the many readers of this paper. The present owner and publisher took hold of thi.s paper about a year and a half ago when it was considerably run down, and when its paid in advance circulation was negligable. Shortly after we took over the EnteiT)rise we .secured the services of Mrs. Critz, and it is mainly through her interest, ability and unceasing efiiorts that the paper has been built up, and that it is today recognized as one of the best weekly papers in the state, having a paid in advance cii’culation larger than any Davie County newspaper has now, or ever had in the past. We realize, therefore, that we shall have to put extra push into the publication in order to hold it as par. When Mrs. Critz came to the Enterprise her newspaper experience was limited, but within a very short while she developed into a wonderfully efficient editor. She knows most every one in Davio County, is acquainted with the wants and needs of the people of this section in a newspaper, and being a native of Mocksville, took a peculiar pride in making the paper take its proper place in the list of week ly publications in the state. Raaliaing-fuUyjKbat^heuJLeaving-shalLmeaiy-we-are-dexfeEmin-^ ed to keep the paper not only up to its present standai’d, but we assure our readei’s and the people of this county generally, that we shall in the future, get out even a better paper, if possible, than in the past. We have been convinced of the fact that the people of this county appreciate a good, live, home newspaper, and we mean to continue to furnish such a publication. In our efforts to do this, we appeal to the people of this town and county to co operate with us in every way. We want it known now that the Enterprise is here to stay, to grow and to serve. We shall suc ceed in this more or less in proportion to the co-operation which we receive at the hands of the people of this town and county. The next few issues may fall a little below the standard set by Mrs. Critz, but, within a few weeks, we promise to have a week ly paper, if possible, more interesting and more readable than the Enterprose has been in the past. We ask the kind indulgence of. our readers while we are making plans for future grojv-.h and development of the paper, and assure every subscriber and every prospective subscriber that he or she will have no cause to regret subscribing or renewing to the Enterprise, In this connection we wish to again thank our various news correspondents of the county and urge upon them to make their tlement and development.

Sajem, Ind., Jan. 17.—Quilts generally are thought to belong to the days of many years ago but seldom has a person done such work as exhibited recently by Mrs. James B. Brown, of this city. She completed a quilt that is 72 by 90 inches and that con tains more than 10,ООО tiny blocks each block hexagonal in shape. It is intricate in design and the work is without a flaw. Mrs, Brown began her \york ^■)any iponths ago. Here is the amazing, experi ence of Robert T, Lincoln, son of President Lincoln, and now in his eightieth year. He related it recently to a friend and so far as know it has never before been published: Young Lincoln was in the army and stationed in Vir ginia when he received an order to report at Washington. He got i;i to the theater just in time to see his father receive his fatal wound. Young Lincoln was secretary of war under Garfield. He was asked by the President to meel him at the station and he reach ed there just as Garfield was as sassinated. Mr. Lincoln received aoinvita- ti..n to attend the formal opaning of the Pan-American Exposition at Bufiialo, and accompanied by his family, got there just in time to see President McKinley shot by Czolgosz. • A friend happened to be with Mr. Lincoln when he received an invitation to attend a presidential function at Washington a few years ago. He then remarked to the effect that, “if they only knev.' they wouldn’t want me there.” And he recited his ex- pei’ience as hero revealed.—For bes’ Magazine. —--------------«-------------------- We believe that the people of Mocksville have all been con vinced of the fact that a live, wide awake, newspaper is one of the most powerful agencies in any town’s development. It is simply wonderful what a newspaper can do to help build up a community, especially so when it has a wide circulation and when it has the sympathy and good will of the people of the community in which it is published. We believe that our feeble efforts in the past have convinced the skeptical, if any there were, in Davie County, of this fact. We have tried to foster the spirit of co-operation, community pride and county loyalty and we believe that we have succeeded in some measure in doing this. We have tried and we shall continue to try to promote the welfare of our educational system and to stimulate our good roads development, create re newed interest in church and community life generally. Wo en courage thrift, industry, and progress. It is our purpose to try to hold up high ideals before our readers and to stimulate them to efforts towards greater things along all lines. We are sure that we can be of still greater service in the future if those interested in seeing Mocksville a better town and Davie a greater county will stand by us as we feel they should. We want to see the time come when Mocksville will grow as a trade center and develop into a town tbcroughly modern in every way and one that will attract outside capital and citizens of the better class to com.e in and help us build up our town. If you are interested in the growth and welfare of Mocksville and Davie County, therefofe, doii’t you think it will pay you to join with us in this great work which we are attempting to do?

It seems that the car driven by Pipkin stuck in the mud a short" distance from the river on the Anson county side, and the ne gro ferryman and another negro man who had just driven up with Statesville, Jan. 17, -Fire, be lieved to have originated in a pressing club here early today, threatened a large part of the city, but after destroying one block was brought under control, A strong wind made the fire fight ng both dangerous and difficult. The burned section was confin ed chiefly to one block between Center and Meeting streets. Sev eral negro residences and the re sidences of three white families, as well as several negro business establishments, were destroyed. The Powell tobacco factory, the Wallace Brothers warehouse, for merly a tobacco warehouse, and the Henry House, a hotel, were in the path of the flames and suf fered great damage. Firemen for awhile fought a losing battle against the stiff south wind, which fanned the flames and blew the burning erh- bers to nearby buildings, but at 2;45 a. m., more than an hour after the fire started, it was an nounced that the i\ve was under control, lionsea opposite or near the burned buildings wera scor ched and in some cases actually caught fire. It was a t’one time thought that the flames could" not be confined to not less than three blocks. his wife and child in a horse and buggy came to his assistance and helped him to extricate the car. The man who had driven-up with the horse and buggy asked him to allow his wife and child to ride across the river to a neigh bor’s house some distance away. This he consented to do, and they had crossed the river on the flat. When they reached the Richmond county side of the river the chain which fastens the flat to the riv er bank broke, the flat kicked back and plunged the car and its occupants into 20 feet of water. Pipkin swam to the bank, and quickly plunged back into the river to save the negro woman and child; rescuing the woman at the peril of his life, and recover* ing the body of the child. According to the report, the ferryman rendered no assistance, except to make a fire for them when they had been dragged from the rivei. The negro wo man was very large, weighing about 250 pounds and the rescuer must have had difficulty in draw ing her out of the river. He him self says that he.does not know how he managed to do so with out assistance. Having accomplished his heroic and difficult feat, he walked to a house-some distance away, se cured another car and went on to Troy as if no incident of extraor dinary interest had happened, ar riving in Troy, where he was married. Canned Beef Found 3,350 Years Old. Luxor, Egypt, Jan. 19. —(By The Associated Press)—What is believed to be the oldest speci men of canned beef in the world have been discovered by excava tors in the tomb of King Tuthen- hamun. While it was not wholly palatable, being 8,350 years; old, the meat is in an excellent state of preservation. The meat has heen embalmed and was contained in eyptical re- ceptacks resembling huge Easter eggs, forty of which were re moved from the tomb amid the deep interest of the crowd gath ered. There were haunchfl of venison and joints of other game. These were packed in wooded boxes, shaped according to the nature of the contents. Notice able among this discovery .wai'ii*'f giant duck.

It is known now that Henry Ford is the richest man that has ever been known. Wonder what he will drive his Ford over next? It looks now like we stand more in need of a strong L?ague of Nations than we ever supposed. The small powers of Europe seem to be as willful as spoiled child ren, and as reckless concerning -th“ir-own-atrength-as-iv-barnyard rooster who has not yet been licked. There la only one hope for peace and that hope lies in power big enough, and w ■authority, to whip them in line like spoiled kids. Don't be too quick to fall out with the editor because he sets forth an idea different from you own. He ia only human like yourself, and can set things on . from a human standpoint, and ttiink in human terms. He may be able to find out something what public opinion is and let be known, thereby prompting team work for any desired meas ure, but you must let him know how you think if you expcct him to know what you want. Strange, a man will pay twent, five cents to cross on a danger ous ferry, and cross perhaps once a week or oftener, and then kick at a tax I'aise of perhaps fifty cents for building a substanti bridge. His fifty cents wou _ pay the bill for a whole year, and enable hilii to cross at will and in a safe way, where the queatio ble ferry would cost several do. lars, while exposing him to gi e^tt danger. Yet this seems to be the ways of human nature. We may call a spade a shovel if we like, but, “A jaded ass is jaded ass”. Our children will be true to whatever spirit we deve lupe in them. We may give the boy a course of training and sura ly he will think, feel and act generally in accord with theepir it of that training. Our litera ture, our environment and asso ciation make us largely what we are. No one will dispute this> Then when the child knows noth ing but to contest everything with his fellow, can we expect less than selfish, diacourteoup dispoSitioiis?

The Hill Mystery “Hey, John, what is the mean ing of the hills painted on these planks?” asked Joe Fry to John Brown early Tuesday morning as he went to work. “Just couldn’t tell you Joe”re- plied John, “I hadn’t noticed them before, but I must say they are funny looking signs. Why here’s a red one, there’s a ereon one and up yonder is a brown one. Let’s go look at them all. So John and Joe went back to where the “hills” began, They were painted on boards stuck up beside the sidewalks. On each one a little arrow pointed to the next one. Finally Joe said, “I heard there was a maniac in town just escaped from Morganton, might be some of his work.” No, said John, couldn’t be that because some policeman took him off yesterday morning, no it couldn’t be that, ‘ ‘just can’t think what it could be, but we had bet ter go on to work.” As they went on to work they followed the line of hills to Clem ent & LeGrand’s but found that the “hills went on around the corner.

It will be erected on a lot owned by the bank on the corner of Frank- vance. When time was called at the end of the last half, the score as announced was 29 to 28 in fav or of Advance. It was a real game. Woodruff for Mocksville, although in bed Thursday,played a good game carrying the pill for 6 points. Moore for Mocksville, also played a good game tossing in 6 field goals. Talbert, at guard for Advance did beautiful work, although characterized by many fouls. The game was free from quibbling except on the part of a few spectators who did not un derstand the rules. The box score tells the tale: Woodruff 3, Lanier 1. Moore 6, Waters Click 8 fouls, Markland 5, Ratledge 4, s. Talbert 1, Faircloth F.

Let us do YOUR job work NOW. Mocksville, N, C., Jan, 20, ’23 Editor Mocksville Enterprise: In your iosuse of Jan. 18th, I noticed an article with a promin ent heading as follows: “Says Prohibition Is Tottering To A Fall.” I respectifully ask for space enough to challenge the statement. Prohibition is proving a won derful success and benefit to this country, and.it will not fall. A- gain your writer says “every day in every way prospects for modi fication of Dry Laws are becom ing better and better.” If this sentence means anything. It means the wets think the dry or prohibition laws have made things drier than before. And so he ad mits that prohibition is a success to that extent. In other words, he contridicts himself. He does the same thing again when he says “so called prohibi tion, &c,” meaning that prohibi tion does not prohibit. Now if it really does not, then why does the writer and the wets want a change? Also he says “there are encour aging evidences of a change in sentimerit.” Sure he is wrong. Davie county went for prohibi tion 450 majority years ago. To day if a vote were taken the ma jority would be twice as large, r ; p . Anderson.

Rileig’’, Jan. 19.—The house committee on good roads this af ternoon reported favorably the Doughton-Conner - Bowie - Moore highway bill, providing for the Issuance of an additional bond issue of fifteen million dollars for tho continuance of the state’s good roads program. The 3d com mitteemen present voted unani mously for the bill. When tho measure gets on the floor of the house it is considerec likely to precipitate an inquiry into the conduct of road building affairs by the organization of ths state highway commission. That the bill will go thv lugh both the house and the sen \te is consider ed certain, but complaints from tlae folks back home as to alleged discourlsous or inconsiderate treatment by the highway organ ization may bs given an airing. Representative . Martin, of Washington county, and Senator J. R. Baggett, of Harnett, have been mentioned as liitely leaders in the fight on prevailing policies of the highway commission. The m-jve apparently will get about as far as have inquiries at past .sessions into the affairs of the department of public instruction, lot of complaints and allega tions, but a final 0.

"The old log schoolhouaes and the small frame buildings hereto fore used are rapidly disappear ing and the people of the country have enthiisiasm for education that even the towns and cities did not have ten years iigo. In the place of poorly lighted, poor ly equipped schoolhouaes may bs found today, eight, twelve or six teen-room Ijrick buildings with auditoriums,- located on the great highways that are now spanning thestate. “The report shows that during the past generation, the entire school plant has been built and then rebuilt a second time. “It is necessary, therefore, in order to avoid waste lo build per manently, and this is the idea that the people seem to have in mind. Committeemen and boards of education are showing bettor judgement than ever before in the selection of sites for their new school buildings. They are securing sufficient grounds to pro vide recreation and playground centers for the children, and one -tlie-most-noticealile—eviden ee The Enterprise and Progres sive Farmer both for the small some of $1.2S, of progress is the care with which buildings are being located. “The new building erected at Cooleemee, Davie county, is pre sented in the report as a type or model for interested citizens to study, -It is very clear that the chief purpose of a school building is to provide class-room space for pupils, and all other parts of a building are necessarily related to the classroom. “Therefore, if one building is so constructed that only 50 per cent of the floor space can be us ed for classroom purposes while another dèvoted 75 per cent to classroom purposes, the cost of the building per class'term will be 50 per cent more in the former than in the latter. “It is very clear that from 25 to 50 per cent of the cost of ; building may be saved to the tax payers when the people under stand that the floor area may be so arranged as to provide a larger per cent of it for classroom uses rather than to have it cut up into unnecessary hall'.vays, stairways and rooms ti'.at cannot be used successfully as classrooms. “Of course, provisions must be made for cloak rooms and the like. But the Cooleemee building devotes 76 • per cent of the floor space to classroom uses and pro vidbs for the necessary features of a good school building, A few buildings have been erected in • which thé floor space used for classrotim instruction is less than per cejjt of the entire floor No Reason For A Lot of Our Winter —Our Superstitious Ancestorss—- Other Thoughts Of The Week Some one passed Salisbury with a handful of $20 federal reserve notes and distributed them among business men, which was com mendable, except that the notes iave proven to be counterfeit. Seven of the bogus notes have 3een exhibited to Sheriff Krider by Salisbury and Spencer victims, who got them from strangers during Wednesday and Wednes day night. In each instance the stranger would make a small purchase, us ually from a drug store or filling station, and tender the $20 bill, receiving $19 in perfectly good change. . The latest report was about lOo’clock Wednesday night when-Mx.—Yfli’bnrougli,—keeper of the Yadkin river toll bridge, got one of the notes from three men who were going north in an automobile. The counterfeit is a federal re serve note bearing I lie impi'intof the federal reserve bank of New York, with the letter and figure 2-B scattered about on the face of the note, the serial number is B117371C. The picture of Grover Cleveland and the printing on the bill has a blurred appearance, tlie entire bill booking as though t had been treated in oil, A dia sected bill shows that it is com posed of two sheets of paper past ed together, and between them is a layer of lint which shows through and given the appear ance of loose threads, such as are woven into the genuine bills. The bogus is a fraction shorter than the genuine bill. These counterfeits are similar to one described in a warning bulletin sent out by the postofflce department under date of Janu ary 6. This bulletin also descri bes a $10 bogus note that is in circulation. There is no earthly reason why the gener.'tl health in this climate should not be as good, or even better, during winter thuii any other season of the year, yet, we hear of much sickness and many deaths from respiratory troubles. This is unquestionably the result of wrong living. We think too much of our personal comfort, or we go wrong because of fear of that old time honored story of catching one’s “death of cold.” If we would live out doors enough to “toughen ourselves,” as the saying goes, we would then find very little weather in this latitude sufficiently cold to be really uncomfortable. A fine illustration of this is found in the rural mail-carrier who goes his round every day, and rarely ever has the least trouble with colds. A warm room is far more dan- geous than the open, even tho we may think we have it perfect ly ventilated. No one ever catches cold by being in the open. Our various respiratory troubles are the result of germs, which of course, can not live in the open, yet we simply will not take this for what it is worth and live accordingly. What is bred in the bone, sure is hard to eliminate. $600,000 PRÔGHAM IS ADOPTED BY TRUSTEES $300,000 Will Be Used For New Buildings at Elon Col lege, $300,000 For En- downment Trustees of Eton college, meet- in,^ at the college Wednesday,ag reed on a $600,000 program to be started immediately, $300,000 of this sum to go for new buildings made necessary by the burning of the administration building, and $300,000 to be added to the permanent endownment. Sixteen of the 24 trustees were present and agreed with enthusi asm to the.biggest financial pro gram tlie institution has ever un dertaken. Details of the pro gram were left in the hands of the executive committee of the trustees. It is understood that probablyIt is amusing to study tho various superstitions that have come down to us as a heritage from the remote ages. In fact, when . some taint along this line. It is little wonder our grand father.^ were pretty well stocked up with this commodity. Their environ- ment was such as to foster it, and going back a generation fur ther, when our iincestry lived in isolation, with all the talei of Salem witchcraft, along with all the blood-curdling stories of “hoo-doo” and ghosts that had come with the negroes from th«.- jungles being used as a household entertainment on the long win ter evening, we can well see how easily the simple minded child of the woods grew up with these strange and unreasonable ideas stamped as truth on his brain. The writer remembers well few old" ladies of the rural sections who really considered it a most dreadful form of sacriledge to even dare express any doubt as to the truth of the most degraded form of superstition. The fellow who dared do this was a sort of cold blooded unbeliever, or infidel, untrue to his ancestry, overly wise in his own conceit, and subjecting himself to the vengence of all the terrible spirits, the why and the what for of which, they’dared not even question. But whether or not they are all gone, we can’t say. However, while we remember them with some amusement, we might also find some amusement in sounding ourselves and making a test as to just how deep the taint flows in our own nature.

Tho library, which was completely destroyed in tlie fii-e of January 18, will probably be housed in one of the other buildings. Reports made at the meeting left no doubt, said the trustees, that the $600,000 could bo raised, ince the fire Elon college has 1 cceived scores of messages from friends promising help.

This is such an unwise expenditure that every citizen shoulc) study the beat plans in or der that the greatest advantages may be derived from a f lir ex penditure.” Many a man is trafficking intoxicants; who would never give them a thought if they were perfectly legitimate. What is wrong? A desire to disobey fhelaW? or is irjust the spice of atlventure? It seems to be American nature to want a chance game or a hair breadth escape. The example of Greene County, Ohio, referred to in a recent editorial in the Gastonia Gazette should serve as a source of in spiration as well as information to the farmers and business men of this county. Referring to the dairy busine.ss in this Ohio county, the Gaz ette says: Six cream marketing points in this county are handling a monthly total of 26,000 pounds of butterfat, worth, under pres ent conditions, $13,000, and are saving the patrons about four cents per pound, or $1,000 per month. These six stations are handling approximately forty per cent of the butterfat sold in the county and have also increased the price of all butterfat in Greene county about three cents per pound making a total net saving to patrons and outsiders of-appro-xi- mately $2,500 per month or $30,000 per year. This reads like a fairy tale but is an actual statement of what Co-operative cream marketing.has done for Greene county farmers. K.

High Point, Jan. 26, —Orders have been placed here during the’ Southern Furniture - exposition for approximately $5,000,000 worth of furniture, according to an estimate made today by a pro minent furniture manufacturer who has made a close study of conditions at the show since it got under way a week ago last Monday. Several manufacturers are re ported to have sold as many as 200 car loads of furniture duringr the exposition. Another exhibí- tor is said to have received orders for 150 carloads of hiis products, while numerous orders for 50, 75 and 100 carloads were placed dur ing the great winter exposition, bably erected more cotton mills in North and South Carolina than any other contractor, benides scores of churches and other buildings. From the erection of churches he is said to have de rived no profit, especially in view of his benefactions, which were directed to many worthy causes without respect to race or creed. Davidson county perliaps had no more widely known and beloved citizen. The widow and six children survive, R. E. Cecil, of Spartan burg; Mrs. Fred 0. Sink, Mrs. Chas. Younil, David R., Joseph K., and Miss Sadie Cecil, all of Lexington, besides three sisters and many other relatives^ members will complete thsir deliveries be fore that time. More than 130,000 bales of cot ton have been classed by expert graders, and it is believed that the association will get at least ten thousand bales more before the season closes. With the ex ception of the Mississippi long staple association, this will be the largest number of bales handled by any South Stite association this season. Checks totaling.$2,756,ООО have been sent to members for the second advance of $25 per bale oa all cotton delivered prior to December l^tr-aeeot eral Manager U. B. Blalock, who states the first distribution has been practically completed. Mem bers receive an advance of fifty dollars per bale when cotton is delivered. Preparatory to beginning an active campaign of organization of community locals in every cot ton growing county in the State, county meetings are being held at county seats. Selection of im proved seed and meth'jda of com i)atting the boll weevil are among the important subjects to receive attention. it is said. \ Of course, it would be impossi ble to obtain any official figures concerning the amount of money involved in the sales made during the exposition, the manufacturers being rather reluctant to give out figures for publication, biit it is a known fact that they have transacted more business at the present show than has been trans acted at any previous exposition since completion of the mamoth lO-story building here. More than 700 buyers have at tended the . exposition since it opened and practically all of them have made purchases before leav ing the city. Some of the largest furniture retail establishments in the United States have sent buy ers here to purchase furnitui’e, and they have bought it in large quantities. Fifty-one buyers arrived here today to attend the exposition, and that is something unusual, the attendance during the, last few days of previous expositions having been small. Tomorrow, the last day of the show, also is ■expected to witness"a“Iai'gé at= tendance, and no doubt much furniture will be purchased . be fore the doors of the exposition building are closed. TO RAISE PO 'O O O TO AID [LON COLLEGE The citizens of Alamance coun ty are doing a fine thing for Elon College, whose Administration building was destroyed by fire on January 18, by undertalcing to raise $100,000 to aid the college in rebuilding. A mass meeting was held in Burlington the day following the fire and a commit tee appointed to undertake the work at once, Alamance citizens, regardless of chtirch affiliations, are enthusiastic over the move ment and invite any person in terested in aiding the college to join them. C. B. Riddle, Burl ington, N. C.. is secretary of .the committee, to whom any dona tion may be sent. PUT cow AND PIGlfi ZOO. “What is life without honor? Degradation is worse than death. VVe mu.st think of the living and of those who are to come after us, and see that by God’s blessings we transmit to them the freedom we have enjoyed.” —Stonewall Jackson. St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 26.—Fol lowing suggestions that a cow and a pig be placed in the muni cipal 300, because many St, Louis children have never seen either. Superintendent of Instruction Maddox instituted a poll of sixth grade pupils. Outof 5,376 child ren questioned, 40 per cent had never seen a sheep, and 17 per cent had never looked upon a pig. Twelve children out of every hundred had never se^n a cow. "u:\ ...........К"
