Editorials From Union Republican. TJucle Sam remarks again that talk without experience is not trumps. The people rule and do it re peatedly in the same way if a repe tition is necessary. What the country now needs is Government regulation of peanut politicians. The latest in prohibition Ala bama is whiskey Sandwitches and they sell “like hot cakes.” Democratic candidates for office within the gift of the next Legisla ture are bobbiDg up on every side. The Raleigh News and Observer consols itself with the expression: “It is bad enough, but it mignt have been worse. A very important thanksgiving item this year is the promise of the national manufacturers of work for 50,000 men bef>re the New Year. “The future is ours,” says Mr. Gompers. Mr. Gompers has cer tainly proved that as a political operator he deals in nothing but futures. Every day or two the Raleigh News aud Observer reprints the Cox-Kitchin vote with an iucrease in the latter every time. However, the official vote of Taft and Bryan is slow in making its appearance in the Raleigh organ. In Catawba county, like in For syth county, a tie occured at the recent election. In Forsyth one commissioner and there coroner tied. In Catawba, John L. Isen- hour, Republican and Jacob L. Setzer,. Democrat, tied for Register of Deeds. Like in Forsyth county the County Board of Election cast the deciding vote, and being Dem ocratic, of course remember their own. - Editorial Comment Thank God, some of us have, and others have had, an old-fash ioned mother. Not a woman of the period, enameled and painted, with her great chiznon, her curls and bustle; whoso white jeweled hands never have felt the clasp of her baby’s lingers, but a dear old- fashioned, sweet- voiced mother, with eyes in which the love light shone and brown hair threaded with silver, lying smooth upon her faded cheek. Those dear hands worn with toil, gently guided our tottering steps to childhood and smoothed our pillow in sickness; even reaching out to us in yearning tenderness when her sweet spirit was baptized in the peary spray of the river. B1Cssed is the mem ory of an old-fashioned mother. It floats to us now, like a beautiful perfume of some woodland blos soms. The music of other voices may be lost but the entrancing memory of her’s will echo to our souls forever. Other places will fade away and be forgotten, but hers will shine on until the light from heaven’s portals suall glorify our own. When in fitful pauses of busy life our feet wander back to the old homestead, and crossing the well worn threshold, standing once more in the low, quaint room, as hallowed by her presence, how the feeling of childish innocence and dependence comes over us, and we kneel down in the niotton sunshine etreaming . through . the western window--just where, long years ago, we knealt by onr mother’s knee, lisping “Our Father.” How many times when temper lured us on has the memory of those sacred hours, that mothers words, her faith and prayers, saved us from sin. Years have filled great drif s over between her and us but (hex have not hidden from our sight the glory of her unselfish love.—For syth News. - MobHaugsThreeNegroes. Union City, Tenn., Nov. 24.— The little town of Tiptouville, bor dering on Reel Foot lake, which has been the scene of many stirring incidents the past month witness ed the lynching late this afternoon of three negroes who were arrested this morning for murdering Special Deputy Sheriff Richard Jurruss, and fatally wounding John Hall, a deputy sheriff. The negroes are-. Marshall Stiueback, Edwm Stine- back, Jim Stineback. These brothers created a disturb ance at a religious meeting near Tiptonville Saturday night, and when the two officers attempted to arrest them, a fight ensued, in which the negroes came out vic torious and made their escape. It was hardly daylight Sunday morning before a posse of citizens from Tiptouville and the surround ing country were in pursuit of the negroes, but they successfully eluded the white men until 8 this morning, when they were sur rounded aud captured in a little swamp near the village of Ridgely. A Barefooted and Bareheaded Gospel Messenger. High Point Dispatch, 18th. Early yesterday' morning there was an unusual scene on Main street. A man bareheaded . and barefooted stood at the corner of Main and Washington streets preaching. While other people stood around shivering in their wraps and overcoats he did not seem to mind the weather.' He said he was delivering a special message. The Lord had told him .to go barefooted into Birmingham, Ala., by next April, preaching tne word all the way. The “preacher” was not giving any word of warning specially, but the point he was trying to make was that baptism came be fore conversion. He talked fluent ly and held the attention of the people while he talked. He said that he had no home; that his par ents live at Ontario, Ganado, but he is a wanderer. He passed on down the street barefooted, with his shoes under his arm.

Never a Flirt TheSouthern girl of the anie helium period—the rose of the old regime—was a heart’s delight. She was never a flirt. There is a dif ference between a flirt and a co quette—the kind of difference there is between a bumming bird mak ing a dainty pretence of kissing a jassamine—and a cat playing with a mouse. Coquetry with the Southern girl of that by-gone day was the unconscious challenge of a feminine woman accustomed to homage. It never verged upon coarseness or cruelty, never lost her the .man’s esteem, which re mained to her after the hot whirl of the senses had subsided under the cool surprise of her look. No, the Southern girl was no flirt. She was -sentimental. It was her sweetest charm—the drop of dew in the heart of the rose, kieping it fresh forever. Her sentiment was not si, kly. The girl who cherished a dead flower her lovei had given her, would bind up his wounds on a bloody battlefiehl or ride through a storm of bullets to warn him of danger—or cook his dinner and iron his shirt when he was her yusband and bad lost his patrimony and beaten his sword into a plowshare. They were cipable of dying with broken hearts—those girls—but dying with unlowered colors.—Mary E. Bryan, in Uncle Remus’s. An Appeal. The election over times will get betier.

The Sunday schools of the vari ous churches of the county are al ready making preparations for the annual Christmas trees and enter tainments. Theyoung people of Bethel Baptist church, Falistown township, report that they will have a tree Christmas day. What is known as the McLelland school house, located near W. E. Morrison’s, three miles north of town, was totally destroyed by fire a few nights ago. The build ing and furnishings were valued at from $300 to $400. The fire is supposed to have been started by a tramp who was sleeping in the building. The scarlet fever continues to spread. The last case reported is Sarah Nooe, the little daughter oi Mrs. R. N. Nooe. It is feared that children with mikl cases, where a physician has not been called, go to the graded school and the dis ease in some instances is distribu ted from there. A girl hobo, dressed in men’s overalls, passed through Statesville .Monday in an empty box car of a west- bound freight train. The train remained here a few minutes and the young woman got out of the car and walked about the station. A man who conversed with her said she was a very pretty girl and that she stated that she and a male companion, who was secreted iu another car, were beating their way from Baltimore to Florida. She wore pants for convenience iu swinging trains and to disguise herself as a man. The freight train which was wrecked at the Conger crossing, five miles east of Statesville, Tues day morning at 3:55 o’clock, was west-bound No. 73, a double head er with Conductor H. L. Tomlin, if Asheville, in charge, Engineer R. L. James at the throttle of the -egular engine of the train and Elngineer Morris at the throttle oi the second engine. The wreck was caused by a broken rail and 15 cars left the track. The tender of the second engine turned over, the cars were piled iu a heap and most os them demolished beyond repair. Odell MiHs at Concord Sold. By a decree of the Federal Court the properties of the Odell Mann facturing Company, at Concord, wero sold at public auction Wed iiesday at 12 o’clock. Several in terested syndicates made bids on the property, but it was finally bought by Henry T. Deehert, ot Philadelphia, who represented the creditors, the purchase price oi the mills and realty being $166,- 000. Notes and stocks in other properties totalled the gross sum of $175,400.50. This sale will be submitted to Judge Boyd at GreeDSboro on De cember 7th, to be appsoved or re jected. Slayers to be Tried December 8th. The criminal court Wednesday fixed the trial of Co!. Duncan B.

Now and then you wlil run a- ci-oss a Democrat who will solemn Iy declare to you that his paity-re presents the temperance interests ot the country. Poor fellow, he may not know any belter, because he never r. ad3. You might en- lignten bis mind just a little by explaining that in Ohio and Indi ana, this year, the liquor problem was a pronounced issue. The Re publican platform advocated pro hibiti m and the Democrats op posed it. He may not believe you but tell him if he can successfully refute thts Btateinent ‘ the Yeliow Jacket wijKallow> him to: give his John B. Moore. Little more than a year ago John Moore accepted a clerkship in the postoffice with me, aud in all my experience I have never seen a more painstaking, conscientious voung man than he wa3.. I trusted him with implicit confidence, and he never once disappointed me. If he had any bad habits I failed to discover them, and by his strict attention to his duties, etc., his manly, courteous demeanor, he left an impress on ail with whom he came in contact, and his untimely death is deplored by all who knew him. Nothing I can say or write will add to the splendid character he had builded and bequeathed to his little brother and sisters. The life he lead and the character he made should be an inspiration to them, a more enduring and last ing heritage than silver and gold. I visited him several times while he was sick, and eaw the devotion of the family, and in this hour of sadness, I wish to cheer and com fort them with a word of sympathy. It’s a Bad death, an untimely tak-. iag away, and I shall always think of Ray and the sisters as the broth er and sisters of John B. Moore, my faithful clerk and staunch friend. Icanonlyhope thateach of them may be inspired by the splendid example he set, to push onward and upward, and when the battle is ended, may they leave as rich a heritage as John bequeathed to them. Gone, but the splendid character he left is a Bhining light to guide the footsteps of his loved ones through the shadowy vale oi life. E. H. M o r r i s . Mocksville, Nov. 26th, 1908. Tbe Uneback Musical Comedy Co. It was our pleasure to attend this musical Tuesday night at Cool- eemee. A large audience were present and several members on the programme were repeatedly encored. The violin solo, “Old Folks at Home,” by Miss Johnson, was very good. The old-time music by the Tuckers held the audience spell bound, and the vocal duet by little Eddie and Edith Liueback was one of the best rendered selec tions on the programme. Mocking Bird, rendered by Lineback and Hill, caught the audience, so diil -the Coon Songs by Rufus. Rastus Jones. Sweet Violets, by \V. C.

Coughs that are tight, or distress ing tickling coughs, get quick and certain help from Dr. Shoop’s CoUgh Remedy. On this account Druggists everywhere are favoring Dr. Shoops'• Cough Remedy. And it is entirely free from Opium, Chloroform, or any other stupefying drug. The tender leaves of a harmless lung- healing mountainous shrub give to Dr. ‘!hoop’s Cough Remedy its cura tive properties. Those leaves have the power to calm the most distress ing Cough, and to soothe and heal the most sensitive bronchial mem brane. Mothers should, for safety’s alone, always demand Dr. Shoop’s. It can with perfect free dom be given to even the youngest babes. Test it once yourself and see. Sold by C. C. Sanford Sons Co. Our old friend, G. L. White, R. I. C. from Cana, was in town Thanks giving and came near scaring ten years growtn out of us. He not on ly paid two years subscription for himself, but gave us a new subscri ber. We like to be scared. Let others come forward. The old fashioned way of dosiiig a weak stomach, or stimulating the Heart or Kidneys is all wrong. Dr. Shoop firstpointed out this error. This is why his prescription—Dr. Shoop’s Restorative—is directed entirely to the cause of these ailments —the weak inside or controlling nerves. It isn’t so difficult, says Dr. Shoop, to strengthen a weak Stom ach, Heart or Kidneys, if one goes at it correctly. Each inside organ has its controlling or inside nerve. When these nerves fail, then those organs must surely falter. These vital truths are leading druggists everywhere to dispense and recom mend Dr. Shoop’s Restorative. Test it a few days and see! Improvement will promptly and surely follow. Sold by C. C. Sanford Sons’ Co. Augusta Items.

The editor sat in his office whence all but him had fled, and he wished that every last dead beat, was in his grave, stone dead.

Along about this season of the year, “when the frost am on the punkin’ and the fodder’s in the shock,” everybody has plenty of money except the editor. Now, we earnestly request all our friends in this broad land of freedom to hie themselves out into the highways and hedges and give the sons and daughters of liberty a chance to subscribe for this howling sheet, which goes after the rich as well as the poor, when they need it. And to the poor fellow who gets a sam ple copy of this paper, it means we want you to become enlightened and subscribe for a year’s treatment, The price is only half a dollar which will neither make or break the rich est man that ever stole his neigh bor’s money, or the poorest fellow that ever lived on potted mule. To our subscribers we want to say • a word. If you like our paper, tell your neighbors and friends abioutit, arid get them to subscribe. Don’t be like a knot on a log. Go out and get some exercise. Go for a drive if you have a horse and buggy—if not, take a hammer and some nails and drive anyhow. To our delin quent subscribers—that m&ns those who are broke, like us—we have a word of sympathy. If you need the money any worse than the editor, don’t send it in. If you do, you will be in danger of starvation. A UVELY TIME. Wrathful Passenger—“Thunder and Mars, conductor! What is the cause of this outrageous delay? Conductor—“Three train robbers boarded us half an hour ago. One of them had a long argument with a drummer who wanted to retain two per cent, of his money because it was a cash transaction, and when they finally got that settled, the drummer sold him a big bill of burg lar alarms, getting his money back and taking a chattel mortgage for the balance. Thenthesame robber discovered a long lost brother in the peanut boy, and they are now hold ing a little love feast. The second robber took a Waterbury watch from a passenger when he first boar ded the train, and has been working steadily ever since trying to wind it up to see if it is worth keeping. The third robber has stirred up a ter rible argument as to whether or not the tariff is a tax. If Providence smiles on us, we will probably pull out of here about Christmas.” Three old maids stopping at a summer resort, says an exchange, complained to the landlord of some men bathing in the surf without bathing suits. The men were asked to move further up the beach. In a few days the landlord asked the oln maids if the men still bothered them, when one exclaimed: “Not so bad; but we still see them throu the telescope.” We wish to announce - our candi dacy for President in 1912. If we are elected, we’ll create 50,000 new offices in North Carolina, and the Democrats who fail to get a job will be retired on a pension, with head quarters at Lexington. ~ ON ADVERTISING. And it came to pass af ter he had advertised his goods, there came un to him great multitudes from all the regions round about and did buy of him. And when his competitors saw it they marveled among them selves, saying: “How be it that this man is busy while we loaf idle about our doors?” And he spake unto them: “In this fast age of push and bustle it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a man to flourish without advertising.”—Ex. The wife of one of our gentlemen friends makes him wear tucks in his nignt gown, trimmed with pink rib bon, so that the baby won’t know the difference when he walks the floor with it at night. Good Cough Medicine for Children. The season for coughs and colds is now at hand and too much care can not be used to protect the children. A. child is much more likely to con tract dytheria or sca-tlet fever when he has a co|d. The quicker you cure his cold the less the risk. Chamber lain’s Cough Remedy is the sole re liance or many motqers, and few of those who have tried it are willing to usa ony osher. Mrs. P. F. Starcher, of Ripley, W Ya.. says: “I have never used any thieg other than Cham berlain’s Gough Kemedy for. my children and it has always given good satisfaction.” Thisremedy contains no opium or other norcotic and may be given as confidently to a child as to an adult.

Beware of Frequent Colds. A succession of colds or a protracted cold is almost certain to end in chronic catarrh, from which few persons ever wholly recover. Give every cold the attention it deserves and you may avoid this disagreeable disease. How can you cure a cold? Why not try Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy? It is highly recommended. Mrs. M. White, of Butler, Tenn., says: “Several years ago I was bothered with my throat and lungs. Someone told me ot Chamberlain’s Cpugh Remedy.

X.MOCKSVILLE. N. C.. TUESDAY. DECEMBER 8. 1908.No. 2 3 THE PAY OF WITNESSES. Our good state pays some of those who serve it well, but not the man who is called as a witness in court. A witness is called from his work to attend court and he in list attend or take the conse quence. The witness may or may not have the ready cash in hand to pay board bills while in attendance at court, but he roust attend just the same. When the witness is discharged from service he is given a tieket on which he will probably at some dale away in the future re alize its face value. For his ser- vii ei Mr. Witness gets barely e- nough to keep himself at the cheapest fried meat house if tie gets all his pay, but often he serves for nothing. There is but one job, yea two jobs in the state meaner than serviug the state as a witness aud those two jobs are working the public roadB and serv ing as a public committeeman when there is a little two by four neigh borhobd school row on.—Monroe Enquirer. The Landmarkhasoften thought of this injustice to witnesses, but so few men are elected to the legis lature who seem to give much thought to the general welfare, that the injustice stands. There are always, however, spec ial piivileges for a favored few be cause they have the influence to secure it. Doctors summoned as witnesses may be permitted, if the judge so rules, to qualify as experts and are allowed $10 a . day. Not satisfied with this, however, a few years ago a special act was passed for Iredell county giving all physi cians summoned as witnesses $5 per day. The business man, the farmer, the laborer may be ever so busy and attending court may mean a serious damage to their business, but they have to go and bike whatever is handed them. Eut this class legislation, which is indefensible, gives the doctors $3 a day.—Statesville Landmark. The Becord is and has always been opposed to class legislation If the doctor should get $5 per day witness fees, then the farmer the business man and the laborer should get the same. We believe that State witnesses should receive not less than $2.50 per day, and that their tickets shobld be cashed at the adjournment of the court. We know that this evil of long standingcould be corrected if the people of North Carolina would de maud it. The next legislature will have plenty of time to take this matter up, and the people of the State should rise up and demand that they do so. BETTER TIMES AHEAD. All signs point to a revival of business throughout the country. On every hand the unemployed are beibg restored to their posit ions and manufactories that have been idle are being re-opened. Of the situation The New Orleans Picayune says: ‘‘Now that the presidential elec tion with its uncertainties and ex citement, is disposed Of, the coun try at large, and the South in par ticular, should tnrn all attention towards business interests. There are abundant signs that the stag nation which followed in the wake of the financial panic of 1907 is rapidly passing away. Factories which were compelled to close or resorted to shot t time have not on ly resumed, but are running full time; the transportation companies which complained of uncommon iuactixity during the past spring and summer, are now taxed almost to their capacity in moving crops and accomodating the expanding business of the factories. With such conditions existing and with fine crops of all products being marketed the revival of prosperity must soon extend to all liues of business, iucluding distributive trade. As soon ,as the farmers have marketed their crops aud paid off their debts they will have a surplus to spend for all manner of supplies. Thisalone will stimu late general business. The banks will soon feel the effect of the re- repayment of loans due to crop- moving requirements and there will be money in abundance... to aid all sorts of business enter prises.” Salisbury News. Last Monday night some one tied a rope across the sidewalk near the Episcopal church, and when Mr. W. A.

BRliBgs on Rats. Bats originally cum from Nor way, and I wish they had origi nally staid thare. They are abont az uncalled for as a pain in the small ov the back. They can be domestikated died ful eazy; that iz, as far as gittirg in cupboards and eating chees and knawing pie iz concerned The best way to domestikate them that ever I saw is to sur round them gently with a steel trap; you can reason with them then tu great advantage. Bats are migratarious, they mi grate wherever they hav a mind to. Pizen iz also good for rats; it softens their whole moral naturs. Cats hate rats, and rats hate cats, and—who don’t?

This shows at a glance how menny waste rats thare is. Bats enhance in numbers faster than shoe pegs do by machinery. One pair ov healthy rats is awl that enny man wants to start the rat bizness with, and in ninety days without enny outlay, he will begin tew have ra«.s tu turn off.

BRYAN UP SALT RIVER. W. H. Corbin, in Yellow Jacket. (The following lines are not inten ded to mar the feelings of anyone who may differ with me politically.) At Fairview1 in Nebraska State, Lives William Jennings Brvan, Who tried to be our President, But now is deeply sighing! Way back in ninety-six, I guess You all have not forgotten, How he built a platform out of plank That people said was rotten. He promised all his party friends For President to run, And that he’d coin silver free, And make Sixteen to One! In nineteen four you recollect, He tried the same oln game, But when the vote was counted out, We beat him just the same! But when election day came on, He met with horrid luck, Because his platform busted in. And he went through ca-chuck! Then when the next campaign was on His party thought it best. To lay him off from work awhile, And let him take a I est! So when the big convention met They gave the Boy a corker, Because they left him out the race, And nominated .Parker! In nineteen-eight he stumped the State, And gosh, he made things quiver, But we decided ’twould be best, To send him up Salt River! So Tuesday last we cooked his goose, And pushed from shore his raft, Just as they counted out the votes And found the most for Taft! Three times been licked for President Thrice sailed the briny ocean, So now I guess he’ll still run on, And be perpetual motion! * 4* 4* 4» 4* & * -Sf -Sf 4* -Sf & 4* -Sf 4* ¥ 4? .4* -Sf 4* 4* 4?

Wedonotlike to take it upon ourselves to advise the farmer, but nevertheless we cannot refrain from believing and saying that those who are rushing their cotton on the mar ket now are making a mistake. The price of cotton will go up, but not until the farmer has sold his entire crop, without there is a let-up in the sales. The wise farmer will hang on to the remainder of his crop until his less shrewd brother sells out at 9 cents, and then the price will go up, and he will profit by his unwise brothers’ mistakes.

The Record works week in and week out for the upbuilding of the town and country, for the merchant, the farm er, the manufacturer and the labor er, and the editor for his unceasing work gets many thanks but prec ious few dollars, -It seems that the citizens of the town do not realize that it takes money for the editor to live on, as well as other people. The merchant does not give the editor any advertising, but he expects him to trade with him. How under high heaven they expect for the editor to pay for his provisions and clothes we have not discovered. The editor trusts everybody and many times goes hungry and shirtless as a re sult. Take the man who owes the editor, the merchant, the doctor and the lawyer. Suppose he only has enough money to pay three of the debts? Who has to do without? THE EDITOR. Suppose a man owes the four above named people, and he sells his crops or works in the shops and factories to get the cash to pay them. Who is the last man he pays? THE EDITOR. When an improvement is to be made in the town, a supper to be given, contri butions to be made to some worthy object, who does the committee go to see first out of the four above- named people? THE EDI? OR. If the business man has anything that the editor wants, does he expect the editor to send away t* another city or state to get it? Assuredly not. When the editor has the identical kind of stationery the business man wants, does the business man walk over and patronize his home print ing plant. Most assuredly not. He takes his pen in hank and sends his order out of the county. No wonder ■the editor is the best-dressed man in town; no wonder he feasts on quail- on-toast, lobsters, porterhouse steaks and drinks the best champagne at all hours in the day; no wonder he owns his own automobile and has a pile of winter wood as large as the rock Gibralter. Wouldn’t everyone of you dear readers enjoy holding down an editorship on a country newspaper, with all its alluring glo- ribs spread before you. We know ypu would, for who is it that doesn’t enjoy lounging around on a satrn- cbvered couch doing nothing all the day long but shovel in dollars, smoke Havana cigare and drink the best of wines. Isn’t this a picture for the gods to weep over. But thank the Lord, a.li the people are not alike, and the editor , a- Vriends-good and true—who stick by him through sun shine and rain, who realize that he, as well as themselves, must live, and who help hihi by giving him their advertising, job printing and sub scriptions, and to this class are due our heartfelt thanks. A UVELY WEDDING. Friday night three miles east of Goldsboro there were large things doing in a little church for colored people. A wedding was on hand, and as yon know, the colored broth er loves weddings most as well as he does funerals. The congrega tion had arrived and the church was packed with expectant guests. The parson marched in ' with sol emn dignity, as befit his office and the occasion and presently with ap propriate pomp in came the happy bridal party. Gathering about them, the older folks “shuck” hands “ wif ’em” and delivered congratulations. “Honey, you show does look Iak a bride,” said one old mammy. “Man, you is dressed to hill,” said a friend to the groom. “Dat’s de hansnmest couply Ise seed since de time Snake-bit Bill wuz married to dat yaller gal Man- dy on ole Marse John’s plantation ’fore de wah,” said another. Reaching the altar, the announ cement was made to the parson that all was in readiness for the fateful words that would forever bind two bouIb and two hearts. Adjusting his specs, clearing his throat and opening his Bible, the parson made ready to proceed when a shadow flitting across his range of vision, caused him to raise his head in time to see a nigger, who was sitting near the altar, and also near a window, go through the window like a shot, head first. The parson was naturally very much surprised. Just then a pierc ing scream quivered on the balmy air of night, and all looked to the front, where, upon their horrified eyeballs smote the image of a huge white bear, slowly lumbering in through the door. In less seconds than you can count the church was in an up roar. Men and women, their only means of exit cut off, went through windows like birds. Panes of glass were shivered to bits. Old rheu matic niggers wore window: sashes like garlands around their necks as they sped through the darkness. Biglatoneshit the ground and said “TTmph! I ’olare fo’ Gawd!” Bach one expected the white bear to be at bis heels and didn’t look back, but stretched his neck back wards till his chin was pointing to ward the stars, and ran like all the devils were right in behind him. Womeu crashed through the bushes screaming as they went. “O Gawd’’ they prayed, “O Gawd! keep that white varmint offen me!” The first nigger who saw the bear hasn’t been heard from since he dove through the window back of the organ. The bride and groom managed to keep up their lines of communication and crawled under the church. The parson shinned up a slim pine sapling in the tip- most top of which he waved like a jaybird. The congregation just simply melted away, and the white bear stood in deep wonderment, with the whole church to himself. It was bruin and cupid, and bruin won. The bear belonged to a wander ing foreigner who was asleep up the road, and he soon missed his source of revenue, came to the chnrcb, collected the bear and was off. One single nigger had nerve enough to hang around fearfully, and saw this last act in the com edy, Realizing it was all over, he sounded the call and soon from surrounding brush'came niggers ol all ages, kinds and sizes, peeping out like wild things and sniffing the air. The bride and groom were dragged out from under the church, the parson was lowered from his perilous perch, arid the scattered congregation gathered with - fearful glances toward the door, and watched with half an eye the conclnding of the happy event. One nigger was missing though, the one who saw bruin first. He is supposed to be running yet, and will doubtless reach the Gulf of Mexico some day this week. An other one says: ■ - “I ’clar’ to’ Gawd, nigger, I nuver, I nnv-ver wnz so skeered Bince I been bawn! Dat b’ar look ed like to me he wnz biggerin a hoss! an I des ruiut merself on dem winder panes.

Our attention has been called to the fact, by an Iredell county man, that the price paicl for cotton on the Statesville market is always lower than that of other markets in the same section of the State, and wants to know the reason. We have noticed for several weeks that when cotton is 9, 9 1-16, and 91 cents on the Charlotte and Salis bury market, it is only about 8i cents on the Statesville market. But tlie reason—well, we can’t say. Tennyson Items. Mrs. P. J. Thompson, is visiting her brother, Mr. Bill Thompson, at Elmwood. Mrs. S. A. Wood spent Sunday with Miss J, A. Caudell.

One Is local, one is constitu* tional, but both are important, both essential.Pr. Shoop’s Night Care is the Local.Dr. Shoop’s Restorative, the Constitutional.The former—Pr. Shoop’s Night Cure—is a topical mucous membrane suppository remedy, while Pr. Shoop’s Restorative is wholly an internal treat* ment. The Restorative reaches throughout the entire system, seeking the repair of all nerve* all tissue, and all blood ailments.The “Night Cure”, as its name Implies, does its work while you sleep. It soothes sore and ihflam* ed mucous surfaces, heals local weaknesses and discharges, while the Restorative, eases nervous excitement, gives renewed vigor and ambition, builds up w^ted tissues, bringing about renewed strength, vigor, and energy. Take Pr. Shoop’s Restorative-Tablets or Liquid—as a general tonio to the system. For positive local help, use as well D r. W hoop’s N ig 'h t C u re C. C. SANFORD SONS CO.

N. C.. TUESDAY. DECEMBER 15. 1908.No. 24 THINGS HAVE CHANGED. Just prior to the election the readers of the Lexington Dispatch will remember that that paper was the biggest panic howler in the State, and it even went so far as to try to prove by an old negro wood sawer that such a panic had never before been heard of since the discovery of America. But it seems that things have changed. Listen to what the DApatch had to say in a recent issue: The number of one dollar bills is so great that they are being packed up in bales like hay, in Lexington Kobody ever saw as many before. They clog up money drawers, choke cash registers, bulge in pockets. It it keeps up one will be forced to load bis money into a wheelbar row when he goes to market, as they do in China and other places. You may think this is overdrawn, but you are solemnly assured that the half has not been told. Dollar bills stick out of the roofs and win dows of the banks. Where did they all come from? Some fellow sa y s they alius follow an election. What! Nowt just listen to what out old friend, The Statesville Landmark has to say, in commenting on the above “truth,” Mr. Taft told the Lexingtonians last fall that they would have pros perity in proportion as they voted the Eepublican ticket. DavidBon county thereupon voted Republi can with a whoop and behold! the dollar bills fell like manna from heaven. Iredell voted Democratic as usual and the manna isn’t fall ing in this county. But what’s the matter with The Dispatch? Surely it isn’t quarreling with that kind of prosperity. With all this telling evidence submitted from the most truthful (?) paper in the State, it seems that hot only The Laudnfark but the eutiie county of Iredell would re pent and step out on the side of prosperity aud dollar bills. May be their failure to take this wise step is the reason the farmers can not get as much for their cotton in Iredell as they can in Davie and Davidson. Explanations• seem to be in order. Moses H. Cone Dead. Greensboro, Dee. 8 —Moses H. Cone, known throughout the com mercial world as a leader in the iudnstrial development of the South, died suddenly this after noon at 5 o’clock at Johns Hop kins Hosyital, in Baltimore, where he had gone for treatment five weeks ago. He had been in ill health since his returns from a trip around the world over a year ago, but few of his most intimate friends suspected that his condition was serious. The news of bis death came as a great shock to the peo pie of Greensboro, few of whom even knew that he had gone to a hospital for treatment. Mr. Cone was 51 years old, and was boru in Jonesboro, Tenn. Mr. Cddc took great delight in Flat Top Manor, his Watauga county estate, in the development of which he had ex pended a great deal of money and where he spent all the time he could spare from his business. Mr. Cone was mariied in 1888 to Miss Bertha M. Lindau, of Bal timore, who survives him. There are no children. Riot in Kansas City. Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 8 —In the shadow of the city hall a riot in which religions fanatics and po licemen were participants, and during which a hundred shots weie fired this afternoon, resulted in the death of one person and prob able fatal injuries to four others. The trouble occurred while the streets were crowded. WE THOUGHT SO. Charlotte News, 7th, While it ie early in the game to plau a campaign, aud while he is not saying anything except to his intimate lriends, it is nevertheless a fact that Mr. L. C. Caldwell, of Statesville, has -decided to enter the field two years from now a- gainst Oongrrssman-elect Cowles, ot the eighth district. In conver sation with friends in this city Mr. Caldwell has admitted this much and declared his iuceution of being a candidate for the nomination be fore the Democratic congressional convention. It is believed that he is one oi the strongtst men who could be put forward in the close eighth district, for he is a forceiul campaigner, ready (0 tackle aud hold his own against any opponent Wethoughtwhenwe saw that mau here during the campaign eu gaged in making a speech, that he looked like one having a longing after the flesh pots of Egypt. But he is after the wrong job. He stands no more chance of beiug elected to Congress than Bryan does of being President in 1912 AMEN! The Democrats should fix it so that a man could be a Democrat more than four years in succession without having to change all his opinions.—Durham Hemld. That’s right.

Salisbury Lady Shoots at Burglar. Salisbury, Dec. 8.—A burglar, who attempted to rob the residence of Mrs. J. K. Link, of this city, last night, received a welcome in the shape of two pistol shots. He had climbed a tree and leaped into second-story window of Mrs. Link’s home, in his attempt to rob the house- Twoshots were fired at the robber as he fled aud made his escape. Hearing the report of Mrs. Link’s revolver, Mrs. iJ. M. Maupiu, a neighbor, rushed to the scene with pistol in hand and firtd twice at the fleeing burglar. Is Rockefeller a Christian. That controversy between Bro. Archibald Johnson, of Charityand Children, and Judge Clark, of Tbe Statesville Landmark, as to wbeth er. John D. Rockefeller is a Chris tian, is becoming serious. The former protests against mere man sitting in judgment ou the case, and “ prefers to leave the old man jn the bands of the Lord.” Judge Clark, however, will not have it so, and he dnsts off his Biliie and quotes the widow and her mite, and awakeuing of the conscience of Zaccbteus. the publican. Both of the learned theologians and philosophers who are parties to this controversy are frieuds ot The Chronicle, and we had hoped to see the issue a dogfall, but as it is. we fear we will have to pull the judge “off’u” Brother Johnson, for the ringing in of Zaccbmus as an an opposite to John ; D., as a type of the Christian, is fatal to the contentious of those who would give a pass to the oil king. For, as the grim old- judge bauds it down from the sanctum of The Landmark, the publican ot old, convinced of bis iniquities, “pro posed to give half of his goods to the poor and to return fourfold to those from whom be had unjustly taken anything” Whereupon, salvation came to the house of Zacchasus. Now, until Brother Johnson can show that bis man has done like The Landmark’s cnampion did, we fear he will have to turn to other subjects tor'editor, ial material. When Rockefeller gives half ot his goods to the poor and returns tour-fold to the differ ent peoples of the globe that he has robbed, theu Brother Johnson can safely turn him over to the consideration Of the- Lord.—Char lotte Chronicle. 4 7 * & * *I When in town, call around and see our line of jewelry.«I* C.

LARGEST CIRCULATION OF ANY PAPER EVER PUBLISHED IN DAVIE COUNTY. MOCKSVILLE, N. C., DEC. 15, 1908. The people of Mocksville should all aull together for the upbuilding of the town. Give the public enter prises your hearty support and al ways spt'tik a good word for the town, A SLIGHT MISTAKE. Mr C FrankStroud has bought the Mocksville Record from Mr. E. H Morris and will continue the pa per, with Mr. Morris as editor.— Union Republican. We are just wondering where the Republican got its news. Mr. Mor r i s has not been editor of The Re c o r d since July, 1907. Thepresent owner will continue to edit the pa per as he has done since taking charge as lessee a year and a half ago, and The Republican will take note of this fact. _______ OUR TOWN. The town of Mocksville is located in the Piedmont section of North Carolina, about nineteen miles north of Salisbury and twenty-six miles south-west of Winston. The popu lation of our town is about 1,300. We have a furniture factory, a chair factory, a good flouring mill, good graded school, a good hotel, two livery stables, fourteen general re tail stores and one wholesale gro cery stores, a bank and four church es, Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian and Episcopal; two printing offices, good railroad facilities and telephone exchange. The elevation is about 900 feet, and the climate is similar to that of Southern Italy—our wint ers are mild and the breeze off the Blue Ridge makes the mid-summer season delightfnlly cool and pleas ant. In our town are to be found many beautiful and palatial resi dences, and our .,people^ age,.noted; for their hospitality to .the stranger, who always finds a hearty welcome in our midst. Our county, while small, has a population of about 14,000, composed mostly of pros perous and well-to-do-farmers, who raise large crops of cotton, tobacco, corn and wheat, which brings a good price on the local and nearby mark ets; our neighboring town of Win ston being the second largest leaf to bacco market in the world. Alfalfa is also being grown successfully by a number of our farmers. The coun ty is well timbered, and is dotted with numberless sawmills. Much of the hardwood timber is shipped di rect from this town to England and Canada. But what our town and county needs is more good farmers and more factories. A good hosiery mill, a cotton factory, a sash and blind factory and a woolen mill would be paying enterprises for our town. Land can be purchased at a reasonable price, and many suitable locations lying near the railroad can be had. Labor can be had in our town cheaper than in larger towns and cities because rents, taxes and hrovisions can be had at exceedingly low figures. If our people will be stir themselves, we feel sure that Mocksville can secure at least two of the above enterprises; We un derstand that plans are already un der way to organize and establish a factory in this city. Our business men should get together at once and organize a Board of Trade or Pub licity Bureau, and do their part to ward the upbuilding of the town. There is plenty of Southern and Northerncapital lying idle, which the owners would invest in factories in our town if they were only given a little encouragement. Our town cannot remain standing still. She must either go backward or for ward. Shall we remain still and let our neighboring towns secure all the factories and shops, or shall we rouse ourselves and go after what partly belongs to us. The. Record promises to do all in its* power for the upbuilding of the town and coun ty, and we believe that if all our people would unite with heart aind hand in this great work, it would hot be many months until our town would put on new life and in ten years we would have, a population numbering between five and seven thousand. Thecolumnsof our pa per are open to any one who will say a word for the upbuilding of his county and town. Let’s wake up and begin the New Year right by speaking a good- word for our town; LOCAL AND PERSONAL NEWS. 0. C. Wall, of Cooleemee, was in town yesterday. A lot of men’s suits to go at cost. C C.

This is why his prescription—Dr. Shoop’s Restorative—is directed en tirely to the cause of these ailments —the weak inside or controlling nerves. It isn’t so difficult, says Dr, Shoop, to strengthen a-weak Stom ach, HeaiiSpr Kidneys, if one goes at it correctly.' Each inside organ has its controlling or inside nerve. When these nerves fail, then those organs must surely falter. These vital truths are leading druggists -everywhere to dispense and recom mend Dr. Shoop’s Restorative. Test it a' few days and see!

Not Dead Yet. Hon Swift Galloway, a distin guished citizen of Greene county, known vejy well all over the State, has had the pleasure of reading some very fine obituaries of hiui- selt. He has been very feeble for some time, and last week it was re ported that he was dead and sev eral papers whose editors highly esteemed him, wrote very warm articles of praise. It turns out that he is not yet dead, but will not recover. Capt, Galloway has been a notable figure in North Carolina for years. He was a very bright man, and being an anti- prohibitionist pften turned his wits against that cause. He is the one who said in Kaleigh four years ago that if he lived in a county that had as tyranical a liquor law as Union, he would want an occas ional furlough to hell in order to get a little freedom.—Mouroe Journal.

Why do some people never marry? Because they do not believe in divorce. What a man thinks seriously of marriage, what happens? He remains single. Does a girl ever think of any thing but marriage? Only that, and how to get mar ried. Bhould a man marry a girl for her money I No. But he should not let her become an old maid just because she’s rich. Isan engagement as. good as marriage? It’s better. How may we tell when a court ship has progiessed! When a man takes to yawning In the girl’s presence. When two thin people become engaged, what happens? Theyimmediately become very thick. .■ t W hen a man has popped the question, hgg^ie Hjj^ghedFj No; he has yet io quemen When asking.papa; how t-hould a young man act?

He'll wh'ff the Bceut of bacon bought at 30 cents a pound, and plp.in potatoes by the boq with tissue wrapped around; and every time we chase him off and bid him to his den, the trusts will pump his stomach out and sic hidi ou again. The water pipes will all explode Aud give the house a jar; The plumbers chauffeur will get out The throbbing raciug car; But while relief is on the way To plug the gushing spout, The car will have a hemorrhage And blow its innards out. The unemancipated wife will quit her cozp bed and build the tire the while her lord pretends he is dead. She’ll wrap herself up in her hair and shiver in?, the dawn and chop the kindling, hustle coal and turn the damper on; and while she freezes till she turns the hue of a persimmon, the scientists will wonder why the men outlive the women. Milady’s winter suit will cost A fifty-dollar note, But man will face the blizzard in The same old overcoat. The cook will gasoline the fire, And the choir, in sweet accord, Will sing on Sundayat the house, “0, I am coming, Lord!” On the 21st the sun will enter Capricorn, and the winter solstice will occur. This will cause trusts to spawn, and the yuletide will come in. Solsticeisfromsol (the sun) and sistere (to stand). Thus, having touched its turning point- south of the equator, the sun tem porarily stands still. This was when Joshua- held it up, from which we have our word josh. Anybody can do it. At any rate, the 21st will be the shortest day of the year, and we shall pass under the influence of Capricorn, the Goat. This is the tenth sign of the zodiac. It was represented on the ancient monu ineuts as an old man with the body ol a goat, which signifies that dur iug the Cnristmas season lather is the goat. The Christmas shoppers’ Marathon Will happen as of yore, The little savings bank will chase The present round the store. The unleashed dollar will pursue The frightened Teddy Bear, The crowd’ll trample on the clerks Aud pull each others hair. The oouQg and old will pull and push, And mill around and butt. And Santa Claus in terror will Take to the tall uncut. And when the fateful Christmas Eve will come with wintry weath er, and Morgan will hang up his Bhirt with both tails pinned togeth er; and anything by way of luck that manages to miss its yawning neck we’re welcome to, O, joy and double bliss! Ihe nappy kids will rise at morn With rapture at the bat And get down twenty-seven steps With turn in nothing flat, The tickled heart of youth’ll dance And sing its wondrous luck, The cautious boy will climb the flue To see if any stuck, The house will oscillate with joy, The breakfast will be late, And old John D. will get the earth For twenty winters straight. Mr. Koosevelt will give a big game dinner at the White House on Christmas day. AU the big lion hunters of the world will at tend, and thore will be a roaring contest, with favois.

The birthstone for December is the onyx. This is because child ren are onyxpected at a time when the stork has to make his deliver ies in a fireless cooker.

It has always been our custom to miss the Christmas issue of The Re cord, but owing to the fact that we ____________________________ are running a number of legal ad- ~ “ ” , I vertisements and that the County u S PUBUSH£™N DAVlEiCOUNTT Exhibit has to appear next week, we ————— — —I : are forced te issue a paper on the MOCKSVILLE, N. C.. DEC. 22, 1908. I |We wish all our readers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. The columns of The Record are open to the public for the discussion of any question or questions that are of interest to the people, and the editor would appreciate any news letters sent in from different sec tions of the country. We believe the price of cotton will advance as soon as the holidays are over and the mills resume oper ation. We are glad to know that a goodly number of our farmers are holding their cotton for a higher price, for we feel sure they will get it. We understand that one of our liberal-hearted men offered to give one hundred acres of land to get an orphanage located here. It would be a grand thirg if some of our landed men would donate a tract of land for a factory site. What we need is more factories. Theattention of our readers is called to the “Free Trip to Wash ington,” which appears in this issue. Any any desiring this delightful trip can easily secure the required num ber of subscriptions in a few days’ time by going out among their neighbors and friends. The price of The Record is in reach of all—only 50 cents a yea". Read the big ad on fourth page for particulars and go to work at once. There are enough monied men in Mocksville to establish any kind of a factory. Why not get together and organize a company and erect a hosiery mill. Such an enterprise would help the town and would pay big dividends to the investors. We must have more factories. Other towns are getting them every day. Mustwe remain idle with hands folded and eyes sast heavenward and watch our town slide downward while our neighboring towns con tinue to grow? There is one little country post- office in Iredell county that The Re cord is interested in especially. Not many moons ago, we had only a few subscribers there, but now we have a nice little bunch. The people in that community like our paper, and we like them, for no better people are to be found than those around that little village. The majority of them are poor so far as this world’s goods are concerned, but they are as honest as the day is long, and they live, in peace with themselves and their fellowmen. Since the price of tobacco has been steadily increasing for the past few years, the farmers of this county have began cultivating the weed on a small scale again. Fifteen or twen ty years ago tobacco was extensive ly grown in this county—in fact, it was the farmers’ main dependence. But overproduction or little demand got the price so low that the farmer drupped tobacco and turned his eye on cotton. But now that the price has gone up to an average of over . ten cents a pound, our farmers would do well to overhaul their old bams and try a few patches so that when cotton slumps they will still have their tobacco money to fail back on. .The Record belongs to no ring, combine or corporation, and its edi tor shall take delight in saying what he pleases, regardless of what any man or set of men say to the con trary. The Record has three things for which it shall strive to accom plish, namely: The upbuilding of our town and county, the privilege of exercising an independent spirit in all matters and giving each indi vidual the right to vote and pray as he wishes, and exposing the wrong and upholding the right,- wherever it may be found—in the church or state. With these three great ob jects before our eyes, we shall work our way onward and. upward, hew ing to the line, letting the chips fall where they may. We ask the sup port of the citizens of the town, .^nd county who believe ip M$ie§e -fprinci- pies, and we be&eve thdjtrwill stanc by us in our efforts to give Davie: * 29th Buttheeditor does not pro pose to be buncoed out of his week of rest that he figures on from one year to the next, and he here and now makes affidavit to the fact that The Record will come up minus on January 5th, 1909. In this office the editor acts as office boy, devil, print er and quill-driver, and he deserves a week’s rest as well as his subscri bers. We will be in our office every day next week ready and waiting to write receipts, and would be glad for those owing us to call around and pay up and start the New Year right. We want to draw off new books the first of the year and it would do us good all over if our friends would all pay up and renew before Jan. 1st. When you pay us we are thus enabled to pay our own debts, which keeps the world mov ing along smoothly.______ WHAT WE WANT SANTA CUUS TO BRING US. Thomas E. Watson. v Shall the tots have all the fun, and all the good things, when Christ mas comes? Shall they, and none others, hang up the stockings, and pray for remembrance, telling Santa Claus what they want? Is there no Kriss Kringle for us older folks, no bringer of gifts who shall remember us, and fit his gift to our needs? Go to! children—you shall have all that you want. Not an empty stock ing should hang pitifully on any hearth, if we could have our way. If we could take each needy one of you into our arms and hearts, and made you happy, we would do it— Gcd knows we would. But we older folk want Santa Clausto bring us something, too. Christmascomesbut once a year, you know—and here is our prayer to the bringer of gifts: . — Bring us tender recollections of all whom we have loved and who have loved us, and forgetfulness for old pains and disappointments. Bring us a larger Charity for our fellow-man, and a constant remem brance of the truth that, if we knew what his burden is and what his troubles and his limitations are, we would perhaps give him the warm hand of encouragement instead of the mailed list of condemnation. Bring us the strength to keep in the middle of the road, to speak the right word, to do the right thing, regardless of earthlv reward—heed less of everything save the voice from within. Bring us Peace—peace with our neighbor, peace with our foe, peace of mind and peace of soul. And, Santa Claus, do bring us, if you can, the feeling that we have not lived in vain, have not fought and toiled in vain, have not suffered and sacrificed in vain, but that, af ter all, we have done some little good in the world, have sent some ray of light, some crumb of comfort, some inspiration into the lives of others. WHY NOT HERE? Referringto the recent danger from flood destruction at PineBluff Ark , the Charlotte Observer says We have never been able to un derstand why people will continue Io live in localities where their lives and property are liable at any time to be menaced by Jloods or cyclones when they could Iiv in Charlotte. After which the Statesville Land mark rolls its eyes heavenward and communes thusiy: Sure. And we have never been able to understand why people will live in Charlotte when they could live in Statesville. And why under the; sun people will live in either of- the above named places when there is plenty of room in Mocksville for them all, puzzles a wiser head than ours to know. MERRY YULETIDE. This is the merry Ynletide seas on, when all the joys of life center round the fireside. The members oi the family, if all convenient, gat her at this time under the pa, rental roof. ^To enhance good feel- mg, are bestowed and greetings sent to absent ones? The -tv,.-* one are longingly turned, and from which all happiness radiates. The proud boast of the old Eng lish common law that “a man’s home is his castle.” The four winds of heaven might blow throu its chinks aud crannies, but king himself might not cross its thresh old unbidden. Only the law’s stern necessity in pursuit of crime could authorize an unwelcome in trusion. The sanctity of former times still scrupulously surrounds it, and the sacredness of its portal ha3 been but enhanced by the advancement of civilization. The modern home needs neither towers, battlements, nor bastions to protect ii from the assaults of the powerful. The humblest citizen to defend his low ly shack can invoke the protecting arm of the whole nation. The governments of all the world foster the love of home. Liberal laws are enacted with this end in view. The public domain is gen erously bestowed upon bouafide settlers. The various states, with out, we believe, a siugle exception, have exempted the homes from seizure for even a just debt. In short, the protection and sacred ness of the home goes side b/ side with that of the person.. It is the commendable desire of every wor thy citizen to be the owner of his own home in fee simple, and to en all these beneficieut laws been enacttd. But God must be in all to insure the full measure of happiness that may herein be produced, In our early Sunday school lessons we were taught that God was every where, and, spiritually considered, this is true. Yet it is not in this sense that the expression is used. Nor in the sense that God shall be present in the embroidered mottoes on the wall; but that the spirit of Christ—which is peace, justice, love, forbearance, temperauce, pa tience— shall fill the bosoms of those herein dwelling?" For where the spirit of Christ abides not, the spirit of evil is sure to intrude. In the spiritual and moral life there are no empty homes.—Harriman Observer.

Daniel Safriet and Marsh Keller, of Route I, two of our old reliable subscribers, were in to see us last j week and renewed. The old fashioned way of dosing a weak stomach, or stimulating the Heart or Kidneys is all wrong. Dr. Shoop firstpointed out this error. This is why his prescription—Dr. Shoop’s Restorative—is directed en tirely to the cause of these ailments —the weak inside or controlling nerves. It isn’t so difficult, says Dr. Shoop, to strengthen a weak Stom ach, Heart or Kidneys, if one goes at it correctly. Each inside organ has its controlling or inside nerve. When these nerves fail, then those organs must surely falter. These vital truths are leading druggists everywhere to dispense and recom mend Dr. Shoop’s Restorative. Test it a few days and see! Improvement will promptly and surely follow. Sold by C. C. Sanford Sons’ Co. (Planters’ Warehouse. Tobacco is still selling well with O us, and we appreciate the pat- g ronage given us.

The people and newspapers who are advising'the members of the Legislature that no new legislation is needed and that the body should adjourn after a brief session, had as well save their breath and uewspaper space. The legislators will remain in session as long as the pay lasts, which is to say the full 60 days. Thetrnth is, they can spend the whole 60 days profit ably and to the public interest if they will revise the criminal law so as to give opportunity to con vict in a case of homicide instead of allowing the defendant to pick his own jury as now: revise the tax laws so that property may be justly and equitably assessed and all property made to bear its full portion of the burdens of taxation. If these and other similar reforms so badly needed, are undertaken, The Landmark would be willing to vote the legislators 90 days’ pay instead of 60. We are frank t » say, however, tnat we expect Po legislation of this character, not withstanding the pressing need and almost universal demand for it. But the legislators will stay 60 days.

Oy Hoskins, or,e of our most re- speckted aud prosperous citizens, assisted by his most estimable wife, Saphrooia Hoskins, on last Thurs day celebrated the 40th anniver sary of their marriage, and what was meant 10 be a glad occashiou, turned out to be a public scandal. Forty years agone Cyrus and Sa- phronia stood up side by side be fore the parson, having two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that thumped as one, and was immutably united in the holy bonds of ^edloek. Of course they have had their spats and their ups and downs, and on more than one occashion Cyrus has felt the: force of a broomstick or a floor mop, and jet as partners in each other’s joys and soireis. they decided to cele brate their anniversary and invite their nabors to participate, which they done. The guests begin to arrive as* early as 10 a. m., and at 12 o'clock noon to tbe sprains of a wedding inarch, played by Miss Sally Hos kins, Cyrns and Saphronia march ed into the parlor, aud before the assembled guests, Btood up ia the same wedding clothes which they wore, to, these 40 years ago, and was married all over again by Rev. Sam’l Moore, our beluved pastor olthe Corrieville church. Afttr the ceremony was over, and the guests present had congratulated Cyrus and Saphronia on being able to live with each other 40 years, all present set down to a great din ner which Mrs. Hoskins had pre pared with her own hauds, at which feast all done noble, eating vntil they nearly busted their- selves. After the dinner was over, Cy he went out among the men folks, all except Kev. Moore, and whis pered a word in their ear, after that Cy left the room and they be gin to foller him out, ones and twos to the out-kitchin which is used only in tbe summer time, and here Cy had built up a good fire in the stove, making it snug and warm. When Cy’s male guests assembled in the out-kitchin, their eyes bulg ed out with anticipation when they beheld a barl of hard cider already tapped, with numerous tin cups provided to drink from. Cy told the men to help theirselves, and it is needless Co add that they did. After they had had three or four rounds of the hard cider, which was made two years ago last fall and has been bunged up tight ever since, their whereabouts become manifest to the ladies in the other part of the house, also to Bev. Moore. Laud talking and singing interspersed by a occaBhional oath eminated from tbe out kitchin to the horrified ears of the wives and daughters, who was assembled in hearing. Led by Kev. Moore, the women folks preceded to the out kitchin, and the scene that met their gaze aint scaircely fit to print. When Rev. Moore opened the door and stepped in follered by the good women of Corrieville Deacon Butterworth, a piller of the Corrieville church, and Amzi Goodkins, was laying on the floor struggling with each other and trying to punch each others faces owing to some little disagreement they had bad. The others pres ent stood around and ch »ered them on. Hank Dewberry,, when he looked around bleery-eyed, and seen Rev. Moore, drew a tin dip perful of cider and offered it to the pastor, who, with righteous indignasbion dashed it to the floor, whereupon Hank invited Rev. Moore to step outside and receive adrubbiu. Surrounded by the wives of these erstwhile respeckted citizens of Corrieville, who hod so far forgot their honor as to compromise with the demon Rum—surrounded by these weeping wives, Rev, Moore dim upon a cbair and preached them sich another sermon as they never heard before and probably never will again. He denounced them all in sich strong termR that it nearly sobered them all up and they become quiet as lambs. A f- ter Rev. Moore had said his say, lie pulled the spigot from the hard cider bad and stood beside it in defiance until every drop of it had went to waste on the floor. Then he went home in deep disgust, fol lered shortly by tbe inibriates and their wives, who lectured them all the way home on the evils of strong drink. Cy Hoskins, who was one of the most influential members of the Corrieville church says he don’t know btit he ought to take his name from the church roll to pay Rev, Moore back for letting all that hard cider go to waste, and that he will unless Rev. Moore apologises. Personally ConductedTour Jan. 11 1909 to Havana, Cuba and Return.

They educate the masses, by ming ling with them .The idea with some is, that apa- per is simply to uphold some party, or to boost some individual. Tom Wfttson’s, Billy Bryan's, Hearst’s papers may be far these, but most local papers spend their time in boosting their town, county and the religion and. business of their people. The dailies can not reach the masses, at least directly. The «fay they do it, is through the local papers that quote from.them. No—paper, local or otherwise, can afford to take the immoral side of any. great public question, local Or general. Some professedly good men think they can and should.

Pain !,congestion, pain is blood pressure—nothing else usually. At least, so says Dr. Shoop, and toSrove it he has created a little pink tablet. That kblet—called Dr. Shoop’s Headadie Tablet— coaxes blood pressure away from pain centers. Its effect is charming, pleasingly delightful. Gently though safely, it surely equalizes the blood circulation.It you have a headache, it's blood pressure.If it's painful periods with women, same cause.If you are sleepless, restless, nervous, it's blood congestion—blood pressure. Tbat surely is a certainty, for Dr. Shoop's Headache Tablets stop it in 20 minutes, and the tablets simply distribute' the unnatural blood pressure.Bruise your finger, and doesn’t it get red, and swell, and pain you? Of course it does. It’s con- gestion, blood pressure. You’ll find it where pain is—always. It’s simply Common Sense. We seU at 25 cents, and cheerfully recommend D r.

The Christmas edition of the Char lotte Observer, which was published Dec. 20th. was so large that we have not yet finished it. To say the least, it was not only a credit to the State, but to the South. The Christmas edition of the Un ion Republican was a thing of beauty and a joy forever. It consisted of 28 pages of good live matter with a number of Christinas stories and a history of the town of Salem. There vni;' be no Iiecord next week, for ye editor wants to rest a few days before starting out on the long journey of 1909. But we wil be in our office every day this and next week for the purpose of meet ing our old friends who will doubt less call around to renew or sub scribe. Come In and see us. The attention of those who are in terested in the county finances is called to the County Exhibit, which appears in this issue. To those who are not interested we extend deep sympathy and commend them to our issue of January 12th for conso lation. We had to work every day during Christmas on that report, which is not near , so hard, to read as it was to set. So read it carefully. War Or An Exhausted Treasury. Mr. Editor:—I noticed about two weeks ago that the Federal grand jury at Charlotte indicted two De mocratic registrars and two elec tion judges, and we in these parts have been listening for Gov. Bob Glenn to declare open war, and if he fails in raising a grand army, to send a message to the next legisla ture with instructions to exhaust every dollar in the State to save these officers. It may come yet. It is well enough to give these men who are empowered to arbitrarily deny to any citizen of the State” his rights without recourse. It seems that a class of men are. selected for these positions who will do the bid ding of the bosses, and from whom you cannot recover a cent in dama ges, and the law of the State pro tects them from criminal prosecu tion. Jdstaswellstartinnow and give these men to understand that the election laws are to be ■ honestly interpreted and enforced, for if they are not punished thousands of vo ters will be deprived of their rights in the future. Let’s stand up for the right, regardless of politics, and let’s see that all violators of the law are pufiished. t.ry NOTICE. Byvirtueofthe authority given J wiJ1 Mar£aret I.

WKcn BuirougKs Beat tKe RecorJ * BY NELUE SARGENT “Then that Is your final answer?" demanded , Bob Burroughs, as he stood with uncovered head at the foot, of the Pullman steps. “It Is final—so far as New York Is concerned," declared Nellie Prescott with a laugh as She tripped up the steps. "You are at liberty to repeat the question In San Francisco, and perhaps I may give a different an swer there.” Bob followed her up the steps and presently he was standing beside the section In which she waB to make the journey from New York to Chicago —the first of her transcontinental trip. Now, as soon as the porter had gone, he faced her eagerly. “Tell me," he pleaded, “why might there be a different answer In San Fran cisco?" Nellie’s face grew suddenly grave. "There was perhaps no need of such mystery, Mr. Burroughs,” she said, “but before I came east I promised my . mother that I would not accept any proposal seriously until she had opportunity to pass judgment." “I will see you," he said, “In - San Francisco." Four days later he presented him self at the Prescott home In Vanness Avenue. Mrs. Prescott, stately but clearly puzzled, presented herself before the agitated young man. "What is it?" she demanded breathlessly. "Is Nellie ill or dead, and have they sent you to tell me?" “Then you know me?" he com mented joyously. “I know the name from Nellie’s letters,” she said, “but that does not answer the question.” “Miss Prescott is all right so far as I know," he answered. “I left her In New, York In the best of health, and for all I know, nothing has hap pened, please Godt I just wanted to find out if you liked me.” . Mrs. Prescott sank into a chair. “I am afraid that I cannot follow your conversation. Why should I like you, and why should you come to San Francisco to find out?" Burroughs laughed a hearty Infec tious laugh. ' “You are not expected to under stand," he explained, “until I tell you that I want to marry your daughter, and she .told me that I should have to’ gain your consent first. I imagine from the way she said it that I may. hope, If you ap prove,’and I- thought I would get out here first so that I mlght nsk her as soon as she arrived.” “She said you had to pass judg ment personally,” he exclaimed mod-, estjy, "and I was In a hurry."

But In all the crowd there was not a familiar face, and her heart grew more heavy as she passed the different family parties happy in their reunion. Then suddenly she stood still. There, on the edge of the, crowd, was Burroughs. She shook herself. Sure ly this was some trick of her tear- dimmed eyes, some hallucination of a tired brain.. But there was no deception In the hearty voice at her elbow. “Your mother approves, dear!" She did not stop to ask how he had come to be there. She only, raised a mute,-questioning face to his.
