The sequel to this once popular little song runs as follows: Father's gone to work again. Since the town went dry. He comes home of evenings "Feelin' mighty spry;" Mother's down town shopping.

You occasionally see it stated that colds do not result from cold weather. That is rank foolishness. Were it true colds would be as prevalent in midsummer as in midwinter. The microbe that caus es colds flourishes in damp, cold weather. To get rid of a cold take Chamberlain's. Cough Remedy. It is effectual and is highly recommended by people who have used it for many years as occasion re quired, and know its real value. Obtain able everywhere. A GdodLaw. California now haa a law, just gone into effect, prohibiting girls under 18 years of age from selling articles oo the streets or io public placeB, and fioni being employed in any way that would cause them to come in contact with the general public. And tbe labor commission says it will be strictly enforced. That is a first class law. It is protection to the innocent girl who goes up against Beasts weasing breeehes.

We have the; greatest admiration and respect for Mr. Wilton's Bitel Iectual power mid for his ragged honesty and patriotism. Whmi it comes to coining his thought into happy and vigorous language ’ there are few men in this world who are his equals. But we have; not so much respect for his judgment; he changes his mind too ofteh. We hope he is mistaken in -the frantic fear uiIl seems to have seized him *h«t we are in a peril of an attack by one; of the crippled and bleeding nations of Europe. The picture he draws is gruesome indeed, and doubtless there are thousands of people under the spell of his eloquence who will change their minds also and take up the shout for an enlarged militaty tablisbment. We have not of late discussed the question of prepared ness because our people are to divid ed on it. but we may be pardoned for expressing the opinion that Mr. Bryanluw ratherthe better of the argument on the world situation; and his method dealing with this situation, while rather too credulous and peaceful for the most of us, has some good scripture to back it, and it is not taken from. the bode of Ezekiel, either. The thing that sur prises us most in Mr, Wilson’s atti tude is the passion that underlies his words. It is quite unlike the calm, judicious, unruffled statesman in the White House,(who, through all the turbulence and passion of this trying time, has stood serene and smiling, with his mind clear and bis courage undaunted. Germany’s insults and England’s insolence failed to move him, but hisSpeeches indicate a dread of the. future that he has not shown heretofore. He may be right, we do not jknow, but we are surprised fltthe.tondofbistalk and ean only hope that he is mwtakeh. TftEere is ground for Mt. Wilson's, fear the sooner we get ourselves, ready for the world conflict the better; but we hope and pray that although two thirds of the world is on fire, tbe flames may not reach across the At lantic to the western world. TLe President’s view of the situation may change the attitude of Congress on the question, but on the other hand che breatbren may refuse to be frightened. Kgn of Good Digestion. When you see a'eheerfal and happy old lady you may know that she has good di- gestion. - If your digestion is. impaired or if you do not relish your weals take a dose of Chamberlain's Tablets.

This Negro Talked Too Ibdj. “If I bad a gun I would shoot up de court!” That was the state ment of a colored youth in Neir Hanover County Superior Copri last Friday. His Dame is Jaick Thaw, and Judge Feeblee had just sentenced him to 20 - years in the State prison for housebreaking and highway robbery. Now Jack was feeling real mean and gave vent to his feelings by making the state ment above quoted. He .did not say it out real loud but Ioind enough for those near to bear it.; Judge Peebles added five years /to the twenty year sentence—In order that Jack might have time to think about the folly of his remark. BEVAREsf OINTMENTS fat CATAtM IBAT CONTAIN NEKCUKY. There iB more Catarrh in this sec tion of tbe country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years; doctors pronounced it a local dif- ease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science haH proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis ease and therefore requires consti tutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Sqipaw It HW Beea in the South. Ckarity and Children. On the Iastday of January, on the highway from Buffalo to Orchard Partc Newpfork, two persona, an aged mother and her son, were killed out right, -and a young girl was thought to’: he dying from wounds received by the brute who attacked the party. Ihe murderer is supposed to be a burly negro who when this was writtenhad not been captured. It was a tragedy that sickens the soul. What wili become of the- ne gro when heis captured remains to be seen. But we are making the prediction tbat he will be lodged in jail, tried, by the courts, convicted and slain in an orderly way by tbe law of the land. Justice will be sat isfied and lfew York State will not be dishonored. Allthenegroes can do is to pay the penalty of his life for his crimm whether it is taken by the State oe by' a mob who volun tarily become murderers. We have always contended that with vastly more peopiern the North, there are fewer lynehings than in this section. We have furthermore contended that the reason"is to be found, not in the delay and-uncertainty of our court system, but simply because so many Of our people are ignorant and thoughtless.; They do not stop to consider how trampling the law on der their fedt brutalizes and coarsens em. A ' tonsiderable element of our folks dq understand and deeply deplore every murder that stains the South. Georgia is a densely ignorant State, and more people are murder ed in that State by the mob than are executed by the law. Other south ern.states ire almost as bad. North Carolina has a little better record on this subjeet and we hoped the year 1916 would be unstained until Golds boro. dii£|ii>eed us all. But as our GovetnorAas well said, we need to raitivate-a mbre wholesome aenti ment, with respect to the wickedness of tbe lynching law. InNew York, and in most of the Northern States, they do surpass us here, and we would as well confess it. We have loo many wild, passionate unthinking, blood thirsty people—too many people who although they know the courts will deal justly with criminals, prefer to enjoy the luxory of a killing them selves. Letus pray that no other community this year will walk in the footsteps of Goldsboro. Wbca to take Cfcaaberiaias TaUeis When you feet doll and stupid after Nr. Doogldea Vielates His Plat form. Mr. H.

Mr. Bailey was also an honored officer in his church aud a most liberal supporter of its or phanage, ministerial, educational and mission work. Thejnodeaty and reserve of the man were such as to effectually conceal from all except his most intimate associates the extensivc- nees of his public service and the wide spread natnre ot his benefac tions. The Winston. Raleigh aud Statesville papers, however, bear eloquent testimony to bis liberality and State-wide usefulness. The Masonic Orphanage, at Oxford, gives public expression of its gratitude for bis fostering care of that institution; tbe Barium Springs Orphanage declares him one of its most liberal supporters; the relig ious press records its appreciation of his gifts to ministerial and mis sion funds, and a correspondent of Davidson College tells of his es tablishing a permanent scholarship there and of liberal cortributious made to the endowment tnnd. In one of the most trying ordeals this College has known, the fever epidemic of 1900, Mr. Railey lost bis two daughters, Sarah and Evelyn. As a memorial to these young livesj be builtand furnished the beautiful room so constantly ed by our Young Women’s Cbristian Association. Mr. Bailey also established a perm a n e n t scholarship, bearing tbe name of his daughters. The interest on this fond, supplemented by addit ional contributions, has met the expenses of one or mere students annually. Chiefly through bis effortB, too, the CoUegehas received a liberal part of the proceeds of the annual Masonic picnic at Mocksville. This has been devoted to defraying the expenses of orphan girls at this Institution: Onr Secretary reports that since 1903 we have received 81,715 from this source and that hy it sixteen yonng women la e >ee> aided. Our frieud and beneiacior thus lost two Oaoghiers io become the educational father of many. In bis labors as IMrector and as Chairman of our Execnuve Com mittee Mr. Bailey has been a source ot quiet strength to the President, to his Ieilow members of the Boaid, aud to all the larger interests of ti e College.

Cheshire which occurred last Tuesday night, Daviecounty lbses a good citizen, the church loses a^ faithful worker, the childrenlosesa kind and loving father. Bjfr. Gheshire was a native of Davie qounty, having been born pear Holman's X Roads on Oct. 29, 1838, makjng his age 79 at the time of his death. Mr. Cheshire had been 'ill but a few days, with pneumonia when the end came. The funeral and burial services were conducted by Rev. T A. Williams, of this city, Thursday inorning at. 11 o’clock, at Union Chapel. Deceasedleaves one son, W. H: Cheshire. with whom he lived; and one daughter, Mrs. C. B. Boger, of R. 2. A brother, A. T. Cheshire, of Taiban, New Mexico, also survives. Mr. Cheshire was a consecrated Christian, having been converted !when but 19 years of age. For sixty years he went about do ing his Master's work. Previous to the great War of. 1861, he spent a great deal of time working and praying aniong the slaves and hold ing prayeirmeetings among them. When the war came on he enlisted and made a brave soldier. In one of the battles he was wounded, hav ing one of his hands badly mutilated. After the f Ioee of the war he taught school for h number of years and then begad farming. Mr. Cheshire was a greajt singer, and took an ac tive interest in theUid Folks annual singing at Union Chapel Methodist Protestant church, of which he was a consistent member. The day of bis death be sung the old songs un til he became exhausted. In the death of Mr. Cheshire the editor of The Record loses one of his best friends—a friendship has been torn asunder that was prized highly. His friends are overshadowed with grief but not asithose without hope, for they can sky of the departed broth er as the apostle said of old: “I have fought a good fight, I have fin ished my bourse, I have kept the faith. Hesnceforth thereis laid up for me a brown , of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, bpt unto.all them also that love his appearing.” Aged Citizen Passes.

Replylo “A Friend.” In last weeks’ issue of the Record I saw an article written by “A Friend” concerning the tea books which had been Ieftout of the Bible. They are called tire Apocrypha and are principally an account of the wars between the Medo-Penians and other warlike nations the 'same as you will find chronicled in' any' ancient history.' It covers a period of four hundred years extending from the prophecies of Malachia to the' birth of christ A. D. I. - TheTmnple of Janus, history tells us which was. to left open in time of war Midclosed in time of peace, was closed at this time, the fint time in four hundred years. Grave doubtoareiHitertained as to whether they were written by inspiration and the general belief is that they were not. Christ jVouches for the authenticity of the Old Tes- tamintin expressions like “as Moses said” and “thussaith Mosra and the Prophets’’and in like manner the Apostals vouch for the authenticity of the New Testamint but nowhere between the. lids of the Biblecan you find “Thus saith Tobitor Mapcabees.

The question of better sohool buildings is, of course, dependent ,upon the views of those who have, charge of their erection as to their desirability as well as upon, the amount.of funds at their command tor use In ,their buildings. ' The statements In the pamphlet referred to show conclusively that it will be cheaper In the end to erect school buildings of a better class, to say nothing of their safety. The-difference in the cost will be overcome in. a few years by the smaller depreciation and less- call for repairs on the building; as well as the saying in insurance premiums, 2. The question of safer school buildings is of very great importance and one that cannot be overlooked,, if'our school authorities are to come UP .,to !-.the full m easured their duty'ln safeguarding the children committed to them. ' There a^e two divisions.of the work: ' (I) one the erection of safe buildings, and the pther (2) the making of such changes in the'biuldlngs already erjected and ln use,'-as yrtll tender them safe for occupancy/ The erection of safer buildings will, .of. course; only come up as new’buildings are proposed, but the making of' the present -building7 safe faces us each ,day and calls tor prompt . action in every city, town and school district of the State. ) 3. The use of Tower Stairways is practicable njot only in the erectton of new buildings but In making'our present buildings safe. In my opinion it is imperative that the school authorities throughout the | State shall immediately examine', their buildings and make them safe. Thig can be done at Imiall cost by 'cutting out all stairways-and openings between the different floors and the erection of Tower Stairways modeled after,the plan of the- Tower H re Escape. ( 4. It is worthy of consideration, and I desire to , bring it to the attention of-the school authorities that the Tower Stairways can be attached not, only to brick buildings and make them sate tor the children on the upper floors, but also to frame buildings and make them absolutely, safe for the children on the second floor. -The reason for this is they dotowisy with the “Smoke- Panic," as well as the “Rapidly Spreading Fire,” by cutting out all inside stairways'and openings between the different floogs. . 6. That the use of Tower Stairways does not add to ta t lessens the cost of school’buildings is an additional reason for their use. We will .take pleasure in furnishing any' further lhformation or details «>r examining any proposed plans as to safety from fire and also go over any buildings with a view to the changes necessary to make them safe. ‘ 4 Call on me in person or by letter, , q. . ,yj.«y JAMES R.

The stops were purchased because it was impossible to charter them, as to- done by England tad other ' countries having a well-developed merchant marina Therefore, from the standpoint of the navy—a standpoint which shouldnot be neglected—there is every reason for giving- encouragement to the upbuilding of our. merchant marine and to the increase of that part of our population engaged in sea-faring ltfe; Sb that we may develops naval reserve which will enable us to lay up a large part of our-fighting ships when we are at peace.

JusG receutly in this Stale a negro was appointed over a white applicant as a railway mail clerk in Eastern ■ arolina. It is fresh in memory how President Wilson and his in tended motored some 90 miles in tbe rain a few months before their marriage to eat supper at a negro restaurant at Harper’s Ferry, wbile on Feb, 3rd, a negro, James John son, by name, was promoted in tbe TJ.

Of course the court house is going to be rebuilt at once, but we are led to believe that the electric lights and the town clock will come up minus this time.. A few newspapers and a few indi viduals are pleading with Governor Craig to spare'the life of Ida Ball Warren, Who murdered her husband nearly two years ago in Winston. Therearefourteen thousand people in Davie county, and w? venture the assertion that 13,990 believe that the Governor should let the sentence re main as passed by the three courts We have yet to hear of a citizen of Davie county who favors commut ing her sentence. Againwe say to- use the electric chair this time, or tear it out and install a bath tub in the death chamber. It would not do to electrocute Christy and commute the woman’s sentence. " Nearly all of the State papers, In reporting the burning of the Davie county court house last week, stated that the building was insured. There was not a penny of insurance on the building and the loss will be at least $15,000. We believe the Commiss ioners made a mistake by not having it insured. Had the building been insured in 1910 for $20,000, it would have cost the taxpayers $1,800 for the six years, but we would have re ceived $20,000 now, almost enough to replace the burned building. If the building had been insured, some of the taxpayers would doubtless have raiseda.hpwl and declared that their money was being thrown away. It is hard to pleese all the people. No doubtthe Commissioners were under the impression that the couit house was fire-proof and couldn’t burn. ’There are no fire-proof build- ings. They will all burn. Colonel Rooseydt Is Not Willing.

In reply to what has been put in the papers by the Board of Education, through its superintendent and the school teachers at the instigation of the superintendent of Davie coun ty, we will say that we, as County Commissioners, have done what we thought and we were advised to do by our former council, Mr. T. B. Bailey, esq., our duty to the tax payers of Davie county, and we did not desire to be drawn into court litigation or newspaper controversy, at the costs of the taxpayers rela tive to the school fund which is to be. raised at the tax-payers expense. We think tbe said Board of Education was extravagant in their estimates and demands. We will refer to only a few items; viz: Mr. E. P. Bradley starts out by giving himself a salary of $800, and by the way we call attention to the fact that his salary depends upon the size of the school fund raised at the tax-payers expense, that is the larger the fund larger the salary, as we understand the matter; $100 for fuel and stati onery, when the coal is furnished by the county, and stationery by the State; he sent out his near relative, his nephew,1 we are informed, who resides with him, but whose home is in another county, to take the school census in the county at an expense of about $100. We think this could have been done by a tax payer, teacher or citizen of of Davie connty, certainly we'have a sufficient num ber competent; they are paying the teachers a salary of from $40 to $90 per month for teaching; they are paying as much as $150 for house rent. The above being only a few items we have had called to our-at tention.They received a special tax of 6 cts on the $100 valuation in 1914, which gave them $13,51155, which, together with the amount received from the State, they reported that the schools were run for five months at least for the school year 1914. The Board of Education asked the Com missioners of Davie county, for the year 1915, to make a special levy of 10 cts on the property and 30 cts on the poll. This large increase was declined, but the Board of Commis sioners did make a special levy of 7 13 cts on the property for 1915, whicn was an increase of I 1-3 cts more than they had in 1914 and which gave or gives them $14.54413, an increase of $1032 50 over 1914; they will receive as much or more from the State this year than they received fordhie vear 1914. 'From the above facts you are at liberty to draw your own conclusions. They claim that they are raising the standard: x Weiuiow the standard of "prices are being' raised.-' : * We doYiot censure the teachers for signing tbe article which has heretofore appeared in the papers We don’t think the teachertare going to teach any time without pay, if they do or are requested to, we think the tax-payers will desire to know what is going or what has gone with their money.We trust this will end the newspaper controversy relative to the schools of Davie county, and we think the Supreme Gourt wiH settle , the poll-tax question, but be that as it mav, for or against the contention of the County Commissioners or the Board of Education, the tax payers will have the bill to pay, and the question of whether or not the Connty Commissioners have the right to levy a tax on tbe poll in excess of $2 will be for all time settled so far as Davie county is concerned. Politics should not bp injected into the schools, but we fear this trouble and controversy is Lrmght about for political purposes. M.

No Court Proceedings. The Reeord is not carrying tbe court proceedings this week- -for several reasons, the main ones be ing that only two or three cases were disposed of before, the 'court house burned, and also that it was a hard matter to locate the few proceedings.

They have had the reins here so long they have become almost tyranical. Debts and taxation seem to be written indellibly on. their foreheads. Ruin and destruction must be some of the first planks in their platform. Even at this time it seems that Wopdrow is the worst enemy the U. S. has. He is constantly fussing with Germany while ;he is doing his own people muckmore harm than Germany is. TheSouth has lost much on cotton on his account; hence he is fighting us instead of for us.. We understand he is facing a revolt from his own partv; in Congress.

If he is all right morally and receives the nomination he may expect one million votes from the Gmman element besides a great raa jority of our Ameririm citizens.We have never been more anxious for a return of a Republican Government and have never seen the pros pects brighter.

Each of the GeneraPs enormous mills is advantageously located to serve the ends of efficient manufacture and quick distribution. Each is-equipped with the most up-to-date machinery. Raw materials are purchased in enormous quantities and for ahead of the -needs of manufacturing, thus guarding against increased cost due to idle machinery. This also insures favorable buying, and the pick of the market. Expert chemists at each mill are. employed to select ana blend die asphalts, and every roll of CERTAIN-TEED is made imder their watchful care. * CERTAlN-TEED resists the drying-out process so destructive to ordinary roofing, because, the felt is thoroughly saturated with a blend of soft asphalts, prepared:under the formflla of the GeneraTs board of expertchemists. It is then coated with a blend of harder asphalts,: which keeps the inner saturation soft. This makes a roofing more pliable, and more impervious to the elemmt, Am the harder, drier kind.

' - Pleaaepermit m etpgetin a line or two in the way of a suggestion to the Honorable Board of good roads in regard to the upkeep of roads al readyboi]^', and also to finish grading and draining balance of roads that have ndt-been worked up yet. My plan is to keep six of the best mulea and employ two good young experienced men to continue to grade and drag aathe case demanded, and by so/doing our roads will be gradu ally-improved year by year without any more bond issues and at a mini mum cost of $600 to.feed the mules a year, $900 to pay toe two men a year add $150 -to pay for repairs. Some say they could round, up three miles per day while some say only I mile per day. This outfit will keep crowned up the entire public roads of Davie county twice a year and al so do a good deal of dragging on same when its needed. Let me say the. $175,000 bond issue is about spentand toe cost to build a mile of road i3 doee around $2,000 when it is averaged, up: Itwili be remembered that I stood opposed to toe bond issue, but I would not be grouchy and sour but would be kind and sweet to all people, although we may differ in our opinions.J.

You say yon "already carry all you can pay for”—you "don't want to cramp yourself’—you "don't want to keep yourself poor paying premiums."Really, you are covering only a part of the ground. It isn't simply a . question of how mugt you'can Iiffi on or how much you can lay by each year. There is the more' important question of how much your family could Hve upon if you. the bread-winner, were suddenly taken away. They will get along all right while you live. They would man age to subsist somehow, even if your income were cut in two. Would they have as much as that if you were taken away? Would they have anything at all?Here is the question for every true man to consider: "How much must my wife and children have to enable them to live in simple comfort when I am no longer here to provide, for them? Have I taken the necessary steps to secure them as much as that? The Mntoal Life Insorance Company of New Y ork See E. E. Hunt9 Jr., Local Agent. 4 4 Q S .

The boy of today will be the man of to morrow. Tbe Overage parent »t guardian fails to realize this fact. Too often the boy is neglected in the early years when be needs the utost careful' attention. The training of a child, especially 'Ot boy, be gins not at twelve months or two years, but at birth. Even an infant forma habits. The mother, therefore, is largely respon aible for the habits of her child. Train the boy early to form the habit of know ing good, being'good and doing good. Obedience is ■ the first law of God and Pian. An obedient child is a pleasure not only to its parents, but to the Community in which it lives. The fulfilment of this law is the rock on Vthich the ship of_ mo dern motherhood gods to destruction. To day the law seems to be, “Mother, obey your child.” Do not spoil your child. A spoiled child ia seldom happy and has few friends. Do not sow seeds that will grow to be a whir- wind harvest. Your child is given tb you intrust, and you are responsible for it until the age age of discretion.: Who is wise enough to saywben that age begins? Itisindeed a problem. Train your boy to be truthful and honest in all things. Truth is the basis of a noble life. An untruth is a lie, and a lie is-a sin. There is no such thing as a fib. or story. Do not cloak Oin for your boy.: Tt does not pay. Above all. be trothffil with him. Honesty is the twin brotberof troth A boy who has formed the habit of being obedient, truthful and honest will never disappoint his parents or friends. . The keynote of the trouble with the boy is that the average home has no place for him. The daughter of the house has her private room, her friends and. her amuse ments under the chaperonage of her mother, but that same mother has not even a speaking acquaintance" with' her son's companions. Give your’boy a place in bis own home—It is bis right. Seek to know his companions, and do not be. too critical Be careful. Reriaemberthattbe boy who is forced to seek companionship at the comer grocery store or the' drug store is on the road to rpip. It is a well known-fppt Jthaube nvan«a boy is sadly neglected.;. Takie time, father, to get acquainted with ybar son. Take time, mother, to understand your boy. The father who realizes bis dutv in regard to his son and performs that duty Js of more service to his country than a regiment of soldiers. Your boy's companionship will help you and your good example will have au undeniable effect on him. Require certain duties of your boy. An idle boy will develop into an idle man, Get him interested. Encourage him to work. Employ him at a reasonable wage when you need help. Teach him the value of a dollar. Our modern extravagance is a sin. Let the boy choose his own voca tion. Do not let your aspirations strive to make a preacher out of a good farmer, or a lawyer out of a natural born machinist! Trsia and educate him along the lines for which he is talented. Teach him the value of self-control and •rain him to withstand temptation. The mother who prays and sits and waits for Uncle Sam to remove temptations from the path of her boy has .missed her great est opportunity. Do not'try to lay the burden of duty, which God lias placed upon you in motherhood, upon the shoulders.of another. In your search for social pleas ures. wealth and intellectuality, remember the responsibility of ypurfcoy. Thesonof a‘ business-blind” father and a “bridge' mother has no chance ro become a law abiding citizen or an honor to his country. Giveyour boy at least a fighting, chance •n the world.

And yetevenw e are not free from many of the vagaries that beset human nature, and especially.is this the case determining the relative- value of the penny and the dollar. Notlongagoa warm personal friend dropped a penny in a puddle of soft mud. It was only a penny, worth but one cent, yet our friend promptly dived into the ooze and rescued that penny andrestored it to the safety of his pocket, i He TeIt betterafter the ordeal. In the backyard of the same friend was a lawn mower of expensive make rusting Jts life away in the tain when j t might just as well have been oiled up and put away in a dry place to aw ait the comingof the green grass of summer. Theexpensivelawn mower represented only the expenditure of dollars, Whiiaithe peqny was cash in the puddle of mud. Another admirable friend, noted for his acute business acumen, will walk from one end of town to the otber in order to save a penny in the price of a twenty five cent article. It is good business.

We fish around in the slimy ooze in search of the dropped penny, consuming out time and energy for a paltry cent, when by a little effort and foretboqght we should be prolonging the life and useftd- ness of articles that cost many dollars. The value of a dollar is a hundree times that of a penny, and yet there are times in the lives of us all when' we: give more heed to the penny that we see than we do to the dollar, that we feel But then these are just a few of the vagaries of human nature, and we Ore all intensely human—Ex. - Another Combustion Coming.

Mr. Sml Mrs. Clifford were born and reared near Mocks- ville. N. G. : They grew up together from ieaiiy childhood; attending: the same^ church and-. Sunday school, uniting with the Baptist church, bb- ing baptized the same’!-time. ; While they were quite young their lifetime friendship grew into love and they were thus pledged to one another before Mr. Clifford enlisted in the army. A few months after his re- turn from the civil war, they were united in-the holy bonds of matri-: mbny which has bound them togeth er through these fifty years of • wedded Iife.^ To this union .were born eleven children, eight of whom are now living.' They have bad seven teen grandchildren, thirteen which are now living. Mr, and Mrs.. Cliff ord resided in the, same state in which they were born and in which all their children were bom, until the year 1894, ;when they moved to Browucounty, Kansas. They resided there until 1902,; at that time moving to Kmr county. Oklahoma; where they have since lived. Few people live to celebrate this rare occasion and very few people who have reached their three score years and ten have been blessed with such good health as this old couple.

Yet the Oliserver,. -it seems, bad the Landmark goiog when it called for information with regard lo the remark of the. old Scotchwoman in “The Bonnie Brier Bush” that ‘ the Lord takes no pleasure iu the legs of a man.” -The Landmark re ferred the query to Charity and Children, which Chnie to the jcon- elusion that there is no such pas sage in the Bible, and so announced. Literally, that is true. But we imagine that the old lady had iu mind the tenth verse of Psalms 147. which read8,j“He delighteth not in the etrengtk of a horse; he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man,” The Bevite^Version, we believe, reads “tak& h^ pleasure,” which 'closely approximates the quotation.

Page, of the Seventh' Congressional District, sharply surprised bis colleagues and friends , tonight when be announced that he would hot be a candidate forrenomination in the approaching primary. His action was the result of the recent demand by Presi dent Wilson that Congress vote upon the resolution of warhing to Americans. Mr. Page calls attention Io the fact that he presented to the committee a resolution expressing confidence in the President, and that the President is not satisfied with pn unreserved expression' of confidence “This shifts to the consciences and con victions of members of Congress a respon sibility that the Constitution imposed upon the Executive. Having the responsibility thrust upon me. I claim the right to exer cise my own judgment- and convictions and not have them dictated by some one else," said Mr. Page. His letter, which is addressed to the De mocratic voters of this district, is filled with striking expressions and.is frank to a startling decree. “I cannot gain the consent of my con science. much as I would like .to gratify the President, and meet what seems to be the demands of my - constituents, regard less of my conscientious convictions, to-in ’ every matter vote as. the President re quests, therefore assuming responsibility for the loss of a single American’s life, or even indirectly.stain my. hand with his blood; In this instance I am sure that I am in possession of facts which a partial press has. kept the pdople I represent' in ignorancd.” Continuing, Mr. Pagemakesa quotation from Christ. “Where your treasure is there will your heart be also.” •■••'... • He declared ihatthe Ioanof $500,000,000 to England by American capitalists, to s.ay nothing Of the profits of the munition manufacturers, “has destroyed the sen.' Olanceevenof neutrality in the United States; and will probably lead us into war. ['have no pro-German or pro-anything sentiment, or inclination other than pro-' .American"'; Mr. Page says-further “I will not stultify my conscience or stain my hands with the blood of my countrymen; neither will I do violence to my conscientious convic tions of duty; thereby-forfeiting my self- respect.” .'

Editor Record:—I hear that this court house is to be rebuilt right a- way. and I presume under contract: I would , suggest that the Connty Gbfhihimiiohers before awarding the contract make an-effort to find out whether any of the contractors have offered any of the county officials or anyone else a money consideration for their influence in getting them the contract, and if so. to publish the name or names of such contrac torsi so that the people will know who it is that thus. attempts to get contracts by paying for them at the taxpayers’ expense. Any contract, ing firm. who will attempt to . buy contracts Of this kind will include the price in their bid as a part of the expense and cannot be trusted to carry out honestly any contract they might make, aind the chances are that it would wind up witn another lawsuit on the county’s hands, and thus saddle more expenses on the taxpayers.

CRAWFORD'S DRUG STORETHE REXALL STORE SHOULD INTEREST YOU Caitipaign Is Being Carried on to Rem edy Faulty Construetlpn and Elim inate Hazards from Fire. . The campaign of education and pub licity which is being carried on by the department is Intended to teach the property owners to remedy faulty construction and the occupants to elimi nate hazardous conditions, and also to instill into the minds of aU people, the insurance-buying portion especially, the fundamental fact that the'insur ance companies do not pay the fire losses; the payment Is made by those of us- who buy fire insurance through agents of the insurance companies. Along this line of fire prevention, bul letins have been distributed with the purpose of calling attention to the careless acts that cause so- many fires —the sins of omission and commission. Its purpose, is to reach not only the parents, but their children, and to en courage more carefulness In ■ the homes. -• 5 Flre Prevention Is a live subject. It is practical enough to interest .the most practical and it admits of enough scientific study to delight the most earnest student. Its economic side has to do directly with the conserva tion and preservation of our natural resources. It furnishes a wide field fot research. It deals with, common everyday matters and should interest; those in all walks of life.The people - must listen and under stand before they, will act In matters of' fire prevention.

EVERY TOWN'8HOUtD PROVIDE NECESSARY'PROTECTION FOR LIFE AND,PROPERTY. However Nearly Eyery Flre Ie Caused by Lack of Precaution Against Clean Buildings and Premises. We frequently see comments In the press upon the. fact; that fires bring out the fact that the cities and towns are often provided; With inadequate fire departments. ' This, is a proper com ment and a m atter that should, be brought very .forcibly , to the attention of those whom the people have charged with providing proper protection against fires. The* great dangers to which our property' is subjected calls forcibly for an. adequate water supply and well-equipped fire department, and there ie no excuse In our present con ditions; for any holdup In making these and other necessary; provisions for protection o f life .and' property. There is, however, a'm atter that the press'would do well to bring forcibly to the attention of. the municipal of ficers, and that is that the^ starting of a fire In nearly/every case shows a lack of proper' precaution. If our cities and towns were alive to the great advantages-to be gained by using even ordinary’ / precautions against fires, such as proper buildings, clean premises and regular inspections, then so many fires would not be started and there would not’be. so many occasions t o the use of fire departments, and a great reduction would be made In the immense loss bothrof IivOs and prop erty.

Xbe average farmer insists that a Httle fact or practice is Superior to much theory. Wo propose to present a few facts concerning the crop with which Southern farmers 8re most familiar—the orpp of far greatest importance to them. A- gainst these facts we ask them to or iider, weigh and then discard certain theories. THE PACTS-During the past month the market price of cotton has steadily fallen. In four weeks tbe March optiou in New York has declined from 12.59 to 11 32 cents. During this interval spot cotton in ^ew Orleans has dropped from 12.19 to 11.37 cents. Futures have gone off 1.27 cents and spot cotton brings 0.82 cents per pound, or 94.40 per bale less than four weeks ago. The planting season for another crop is about to begin. With pre paration for a new crop in full swing there remain over 7,000,000 bales surplus from -previous CropB still on hand on farms or in Amer ican warehouses. The crop about to be planted must compete with this surplus on band and the price must inevitably be controlled by this total supply. Tbe buying world, which fixes the price of our great commodity, not only fully realizes these facte, but is already acting in accordance with them. The market has al ready responded to this influence. Present declining prices are tbe ieiult. The Economic World for February 12, in its review of the cotton market, remarks: “The growing feeling is that it; will not do to count upon a restricted acre age, the price is too higlf fbT thaf .l* Again on February 19 the same authority rays: ‘ There is a grow ing impression, not too much com bated from the South, that in the wind-up an acreage from 10 to 15 per cent, larger than this year’s will be found to have been planted to cotton in this country.” This journal is probably the most relia ble sod conservative authority up on cotton market conditions. Cotton buyers and speculators expect a large acreage to be plant ed—cause. The price steadily de. dines—effect. The reverse pro* cess IB equally logical and certain. Plant a small acreage and higher prices are inevitable. We will not theorize oo this point, but depend .-upon actual facts for positive demonstration. Letuscompare two . crops grown under norm al‘conditions—a small one against a large one: • 1910 1911 Acreage 32,403.000 36,045,000 Production 11,624,777 15,603,850 Av1 price per bale69.76 47.50 Total $810,826,195.75 $745,964.030 00 The smaller crop by three and one-half million acres - actually brought the producer approximate Iy sixty-five millions of dollars more money. The increased acre- Ugol therefore, cost tbe. producer the extra labor, fertilizer, interest, 'axes, equipment and stock requir od to cultivate three, and one-half million acres of cotton, beside a further cash loss of Sikty-five mil lions of dollars. Let us make an individual and personal application of the general I acta. A crop of 10 .bales at wnts brings $350. A crop of six bales at 12 cents briugs $360. The one plowman—or other growers in Ibe same proportion — actually make 8Jo more per plow on a total email crop than on a-total large flroP- In addition, he saves the labor and expense cf ,growing the laKerAcreiW*. fO-XE THEOBI depute these facts, fret tWfe are People who hold theorjeg^b tllf? urge! should infli Present action of ootl^^_ VVe are told that tbe u®Rflj4ud l1eOly end.

ISIS war cease or war conditions be so pheaomenally chauged as to open European markets, tbe less cotton we have to sell the higher tbe price must rise, and the, greater our profit. vlt is urged that fertilizer condit ions will reduce yields more than enough to offset auy possible in creased acreage. Againsttbis ar* gument arc place the greatest skill used in fertilizer practice and tbe improved methods everywhere -in evidence. More important yet is tbe faci that it is the tour million bale crop of Texas, grown without fertilizers, that controls and hurts. It is a pet theory or belief with cotton growers that speculators force high option prices flnring the planting season as an incentive to increased acreage and consequent cheap cotton at harvest time. This year, at least, the theory is ex ploded. The lowest prices for months come while acreage plans are being made. One theory has gone wrong. Others are equally unreliable. Stick to tbe facts. Southern -Boralist. upcan 0L at We Forget” Let qp loud-mouthed demagogue, no. self-proclaiming leader of tbe common people, take to himself tbe glory of whatever prosperity In cer tain lines of war order activity now prevails. Nor let him claim the credit of tbe bumper crops. Whatever ot prosperity this country enjoys to day is in spite of these intruders and not because of them. It grows out of tbe terrible con flict, crimsoning the battlefields of all the rest ot the world. It comes from Gbda- boio^TtfirictittBgN^^ our golden harvest. It comes not because of, bnt in spite of, tbe destructive legislation that has driven our flag from the seas, that has put one sixth of ,our railroads in bankruptcy, that has terrorized capital so that it no lon ger seeks investment, that b u out lawed our captains of industry aud discredited our elder statesmen.

There is .and has: been for sometime, air fobt work ifnr better farmiog' unsthods, especially rfor better soil conservation, tor bptter seed selection and for bettex Inir- ketitig methods. Theworkfortbe improvement of. farm homes and their surroundings, for making the life of farm women easier and more pleasant, and*that {for adding to the farm districts: the advantages of improved and more practical schools, of better facilities for com munication and for better social conditions have; not been - over looked. Oneof the noteworthy features of all tbe efforts to make farm life more profitable and ail farm con ditions,better is that work is not confined to farmers and farm edu cators alone, but is participated in and supported by tbe good citizens of all classes, in country and iu town. In the towns and cities the pro fessional men, the merchants and manufacturers, the bankers and •he business clubs and associations are taking part iu-tbe good work, are contributing money and time and brain to advance the better term movement. The people of the South are not behind in inaugurating, aiding and taking part in this splendid move ment. In many ways the South has been a leader in it. Many of tha plans now followed in other birth In the South; One of- these was the school garden, another tbe district agricultural school, others are tbe pig and canning dubs. The conditions in the Sonth have led to special attention there to the diversification of crops and to the building up of live stock and dairy farming. It is along this special movement, as well as in' the support-of the term demo nets a- tion work, the boys’ corn clubs, the girls’ canning, clubs and tbe boys’ aud girls’ pig dubs, tbe bus iness men of the towns and rities have so splendidly, cooperated with tbe men from the terms. Very much of the money for all this work, outside ot that raised by taxation or contributed by tbe gen eral government, has been given by bankers, merchants and manu facturers. The work the bankers _ of tbe Soutti are doing today iu the way of giving prizes for crop and live stock raising, in introduc ing pore bred stock and in giving spedal aid so farmers who, will take up the improvement of their stock or the proper diversification of tbrir crops is widespread. And the South is responding to all tbis work. 'Farm conditions are better there than ever before, farming is in the most prosperous state, the advantages of Southern lands were never before shown to be so great as. has become evident under the farm, betterment cam paigns. the attractions for tbe man stoking a new farm home in tbe South are greater than ever.

A R^IytoBfrjjw afc*- '-V In reply to an article In The Da* vie -Becord by Mr. M .’C. IjameSj Ghaiirnian oftheBoard of County Commiaaioners oi Dayie County, ! wish' to toy in the firsjti: jiiaee: that the attack on me is uhcAlled foi1 and unwarranted. I have made no attack on him or his board and I have in cited no one else to make such at tack. .Ia regard.' to ., the article published by the board of Mudi Cion and the teachers the facts are these: ••• ■ . At the meeting of the Board of Education the. first Monday in Jan u a ry 'to appropriate the funds to the Schools of the county it was- found from Mr. J. S. 'DahieUa re* poit to the Board that there, were fnn.ds enough to’ run., the schools only three and one-balf months. ASi it was necessary to run the schools four months in order to get the equalising- fund from the state, % advised the Board to-borrow, -the jncney needed and" pay it back af ter the suit penditig in the Supreme Court was decided', but aftereon- Sultation %itfr tbeir attorney in re gard tothe legality of the proposed action it was decided to appropri ate only the money ..in band and throw the responsibility fo* . tbe loss of the equalizing Iund wh«f6 it belonged oil the1 County Coin- missfonera. -I then said that i be people had a-right to kpow, why there was,-not enough money to ran tbe schools .four months and’ why the equalizing Tund was to be lost to'the'cdunty.- The Board of Education agreed !with me and is sued the statement v published iu The Record.. In regard to the ar CfeIe published by the teachers the facts are these:! Some tiineafter the above meet ing of the Board of . Ediication I spoke .of the school situation to a friend of mine and a friend.of tbe schools. He suggested the idea of getting the teachers to teach the two weeks in order to make out tne fonr. mouths and: thus: secure the State fnnd: and wait till the. suit pending in the Supreme Court could be'decided, and if said suit was debided against the Board of Education-to give these two- weeks to the canse of education.. I agreed to make tbeeffort and-he wrote the petition and gave it to me to get the teachers to signJ At tbe meet ing of the teachers it ' was voted uniininliiBBlywithoutanysugges- tiou on my parfrtbat. the.petition bis published.,, -. - V .- Ou the^e two articles Mr. Ijames has seen fit to rnak.e a pei-soual at tack on me. I have done Mr'. Ijames no harm ah’d he knows it. Mr. Ijamesreal malice, is against the schools of the county,: and it is not Very hard to Bee why he hates the schools, He was once a teacher himself but he has not taught in a number of years and the reason he bas not tanght as he remarked: to. me once Jp, conversation was be cause he could not pass the exami nation. I believe the children of this county deserve a better teach er than a man' who cannot get'even a second. grade certificate would make. In regard to the statement that I gave myself a salary of $800 and that I sent my' nephew out to take tbe census I will simply quote the Iawand remiiHl the reader that the Board of Education and the committeetqen of this county are in the habit of keeping the law. Sec. 4144 of the Bchooi law says: liTue saIary of the superintendent of schools shall be fixed by the Board of Education,’’ In regard to taking the census, Sec. 3148, directs the committee to take the census or appoint some one else to take it. Five townships united and employed one man to take tbe census. In ther other two town ships the committee took the cen sus. I understandthe,committees of tboce townships which . unifed are very much pleased with ther way the census was taken. :A committeeman .said the other day that this was the first time the census taker , had gone to every home in taking. the' census. The cost of taking the . census is the same hor matter who takes it.. The price is fixed by law at so much per name.-. -v ■ - In regard to the statement of Mr. Ijames that the teachers; are paid from $40.to 990 permonth, I will say that tha -highest salary paid by. the connty is $60 per month. Some teachers receive more bnt the. amount .above $50 is paid either by, private donations or. by a special tax on the district. The principal of Advance school is. getting $100: per month , but : the good people of that commnnity are paying $$0a| it ont of their: own ipockc^t;^ H e principal of 'tile ttejia^whooi is getting $90 per month but- $40 per month is paid out<tftherBpecial tax of thedistrict.

KewiUIering and astounding are the changes uiade almost daily by Preiitleut Wilson. Today he is for o,ie thing and tomorrow for an other. Never iu the Presidential chair was there such a man. A school teacher in politico. Without esperiencp, without train ing iu the greatest art of the world, he became ambitious for a second term aud like a drowning man he throws his hands in the air and •■rasps at every straw he sees. He Iiaa his followers non plussed— they are asking to vote for some thing to save bim and they vote aud the nest day he asks them to rote the other way. Some of the best Democrats in Korth Carolina are wondering, as they are wondering over all the Natiou. On the coast at the west aud on the coast at the east those who have followed Wilson do not know what to say or what to do. They have wearied of the phrase “Our president, right or wrong”— they are wondering it be knows his own inind. Of course all of this is nuts to craek by the republicans. If Wil- soD is not nominated, unless, by insisting ou not warning Ameri caus, and allowiing some adven turous hobo or some selfexploiter like Hubbard was to be killed on an armed merchantman, be goes to war with Germany, which seems to be his desire just now, he will be the worst beaten man ever ,run Ling for President. He is a two iniliion minority president. Taft and Roosevelt handed- it .*o- him. They divided their apple in half— but not this year. Roosevelt has given it out anything to beat WiI- soQ aud the republican party will be together. It will come back with those two million voteB cast for one man—and not criminal prac tice”. When Cleveland was elect ed it was becanse Blaine split his j party. It was because Conklingj could not support him because asj he said he “wished not criminal | practice”—and when Wilson ran j Taltand Roosevel; simply divided tiie Republican vote. Buttodaygood democrats here iu Greensboro publicly announce (hat they cauuot vote for Wilson. He hasn’t the following he had six months ago. H4* is losing strength every day Iwcause of bis unstable position. He seems to be iiound- eriug. He is a drowning man, and be doesn’t know what to do. He proves conclusively that the School . iuasler iu Polities is in the wrong pew. The man who reads the note of Lansing of January 18, this year, and then reads the subsequent ut terance of Wilson must perforce coocliule that the man is either desperate or incompetent. sin' Free Trade. Everything. California citrus fruit growers go to Washington'to insist that the United StateB put a tariff on citrus lraits because Italy and Scicily were dumping in their products^at such low figures that the home growers were losing money. It is also observed that the ultimate con' siinier gets his fruit do cheaper— but because of lack of tariff to keep Ibe foreign product out of the com • try the home man is losing money But free trade is the motto ol de* mocracy—and what difference does it make it the citrus growers of this country are put out of busi ness?

If there 1« m, quarrel or fight on the street how quickly a crowd will gather, but if there is a good deed done or'a kind' word - spoken no one ever sees it or hears it. A little incident happened Friday, which the writer could not help bat see and take notice. Ao aged woman was standing on the corner at the National B*ufr, she seemed to be coufused about something and not know just which way to go, j ust then a traveling man approach ed from the hotel cirrying a grip and an armful of samples. Theold lady, not knowing whk-h way to go approached him acd aaked where the telegraph office was lo, cated. He tried to direct her, but seeing she did not understand he put his grip down on the Bide walk and accompauied her there. When inside he learned that she did not have enough change to pay for her message, so he rau his hand down ia his pocket and produced the re quired change. This man was a stranger, he went back down the street, got his grip and went on about his business whistliug a live ly tune. This is the kind of man it takes to sell the gcois. Although a stranger in the town he will long be remembered by one whom he has shown a little ^eed of kindness. —Concord Chronicle. Cooleemee Baptist Philathea.

See ing that something utust be don* we began to go to work. • The fire» thing we di«l was to haul afew pin* loips to fill up the small gullies that had washed oat. When this job was done we went to a patch of .old field pined and raked op all. the needles-and hauled them , to oar Btablea to make part of oar fertiii zer. We would repeat this about once a mouth until spring, when' we found ourselves with aboat ball of our : fertilizer ready for use. As it was so rainy daring the foil and winter that we did not get to break our land until early-Bpringt we plowed onr land about twelve inches deep. Wbenthto waa doue we had oar terraces laid off. Aftei this was done we took a two-horee tarn plow and threw them up the best we could for the first time. We let a big settling rain fall on this, then we fastened a twelve inch board on onr torn plow, got ap on top of our terraces, and began to. throw them up. After this was- done we took a tongue plow and broke our land again; it was now thoroughly pulverized. Tbe next thing we did. was to haut out our manure, piling; np in email piles over the field. Next we took a large shovel plow end laid off our rows, fnll depth. The manure was then strewn in tbia furrow. Weeame along next-In- the same furrow with a ighario spreader, putting aboat 400 pounds of guaop per acre, Tiding -otf thi» at the same time.

Tbe year following we sowed to wheat anil oat», tbe yield of whieb was enormous. We are now mak ing from one to two bales of cottou per acre, and. from fifty to seventy- five bushels of corn.

IJie Statesville Sentinel, a leading Democratic paper, in speaking of the! Republican county convention recently held in Statesville, among other things, submits the following remhrks: A . “The Republicans of this countv ire getting busy and they are going intb the coming campaign organized. determined and enthusiastic. Itte Democrats had best get busy too* Two things were strongly impressed by the convention held here Satprday: First, the determination to harmonize all factions and the othirto makean active campaign this year. This condition is also manifest all over the state and if the 'Democrats think they will have a walkover without effort, they should take another think.” The Sentinel is right. The Repub licans all over the state are getting together as never before. The Re publican county convention held at Salivary recently, was one of the Iargfstand most enthusiastic Re publican conventions ever held in the |tete, and similar reports have beet^received from all over the couQtry. The Repnblicans have got their eyes open and have learned a number of things since 1912, the mmlj/ “principalest” of which is. thatit don’t pay to fall out and fighiamong themselves while the eneniy Bteps in and gets all the am munition.

One framed along a new line is a measute that ha* been in trod need iu tbe Uouse by ltepie tentative Stephens,. of California, entitled “ A bill to acquire, con struct and maintain a national de fense highway; to provide employ mi ut Ior citizens of tbe United States and to physically and men tally edutate them for defence.” Mr. Stephens, in advocating the adoptiou of the bill, says be has 110 doubt the States thru wLich the highway would run* will gladly give to tbe Uiiited States all ne cessary rights of way—perhaps hundreds of miles of practically completed high* ays—provided tbe United States maintains them. Cjnstructiou and maintenance, un der bis plan, would commence and continue under tbe supreme au thority of the president by U. S. army engineer officers. The bill, if adopted, says the California representativer will pro vide tbe following: A national highway circling the United States within its borders aud running Btrategieally near the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts, as well as our northern and sontb era boundary lines. A national highway, to e nsed in times of peace by automobiles, auto IruckB and other vehicles for commercial and healthful purposes. A national highway extraordi- naiily useiul, ia Mr. Stephens’ opi Qiour Wheawar th reateus or wjs are attacked. Over it men In greatest numbers and munitions and supplies can be transported quickly to any point North, South, East or West. A national highway 10,000 miles long, that will give work at good wages for many years to at least 100,000 American citizens ia good times and to several times that number in “bard times.” The employment of uew men period! cally would add greatly to our trained res.rves. A national highway providing physical anfl mental drill for all manual and clerical employees— thus fitting hundreds of thousands of young men for national defense and to be better heads of fami lies, in tbe view of the author of the measure.—Winston Seutinel.

Coble, of Mocks- ville. writes to President Graham suggesting that -he call together Jlb J people of Oraiige county' in a ten days’ conference at Chapel Hill to consider the question of community bettenuentj ynd especially tbestren gthening of; the country church which ought-to be the centre of ihe community progress. Why not en large the idea and let representa tives attend from any county in the Btate to participate in this meeting, and help to start the ball rolling. Go where you will in North Carolina and wherever you Iind a strong and active country church, with a capa ble and progressive pastor, you will find good farms, happy homes "and intelligent and thrifty citizens. For years and years the religious papers have been hammering away at this business of the development of the country church problem, but tbev need to be re inforced by a strong public sentiment, and this institute, in our judgment is the proper and sensible way to begin the movement in favor of a better public sentiment on this question. Mr. Coble well says: “We need to strike hands with all our brothers in the field, and go out in the fervor and zeal of a co operative Chrbtian fellowship movement to make conditions ideal in every home, our whole country over; to the end that every citizen of our ^tate shall be a citizen of the KingdomofGodlookingfor a new heaven and a new earth, hut deter mined by the grace of God to make the new earth first.” That is a high purpose well expressed; and the place of all places to begin the mak ing of anew earth is in the country church. Here is where the bulk i f oue citisens.liye.;- Jlgre t$*>: is- the greatest field ISr Ifevefcplnent be cause it is fallow ground not so in fested with the weeds of evil as the soil of our cities. Here we find the children of nature and in their bright minds unstained by the per nicious influences that abound in urban life, the seeds of truth will germinate and grow. Besides, tha country church is in greater need because it has been so long neglect ed. Theholdingof institute? with this as the central theme aroi?pd which the whole discussion revolves, by men of influence and power, will do the work. We are delighted t» see that Dr. G (ward K. Graham the President of the University gives the movement his hearty endorse ment, acd we hope he will issue the call for the Institute in May, and that there will be a large attendance of men and women who are interest ed in this vital matter. Save the country church and you will save the state—Charity and Children. Tie BqraB Way. When Bryan got a belly full he walked out.

HOW MUCH LIFE INSURANCE SHOULD YOU CARRY? You say you "already carry all you can pay for’’—you “don’t want to cramp yourself—you "don't want to keep yourself poor paying premiums.” ; . , , ,Really, yoa are covering only a part of the ground. It isn t simply a question of how much you can live on or how much you can lay by each year. There is the mote important question, of how much your family could live upon if you. the bread-winner, were suddenly taken away. They will get along all right while you live. They would man age to subsist somehow, even if your income were cut in two. Would they have as much as that if you were taken awayt Would they have anything at all?Here is the question for every true man to consider: How much must my wife and children have to enable them to live in simple comfort when I am no longer here to provide.for them?

Grant, Jr;, Atty. I :lj ■ *■ BETTER AND SAFER SCHOOL BUILDINGS Shall' Gur .School Buildings Be Made Safe For Our Children? ' The law of North Carolina requires the Insurance Commissioner, who to ex-officlo Fire Marshal, to see that school, buildings, as well M o tto ImiMr tags In which the people assemble, shall-be provided with sufficient exits to render them safe in case of fire. This is a most important and nece8S“ T ditty and means very much espeslally for the safety of the children ini our schools. Children are the most helpless ones In case of fires and their attence ant panics, and yet, less attention is paid to the safety of school buildings than any other ctass of buildings In this state and throughout the whole country. Some one has said “They are built to bum.”Burnings . From time:tfli;time, alas too frequently, the people are startled and horri fied at the destruction of some school building and the awful death of many- of lts inmates. Sb far these horrors have occurred In other states but the appeal to our people IS .to arouse them before a like disaster occurs In our ; ' m idst We boast of having erected a; school building a day for the last twelve years in North Carolina, and yet, our best buildings are of the class, the burning of which has caused the most frequent and greatest loss of lives.Better Buildings. It will pay us In the end to erect a better class of school buildings. The S i «J tr 2 o j ! e I a I i ItfII0 Cf 2 • a I . . frame building over one and at most two stories' should go. The brick metal roof construction school build ing though the type most largely built as our better class of school buildings should go. The' building Should be of mill construction and where possible fitted up with automatic sprinklers, or else made of concrete reinforced. The difference in the cost of repairs, in surance, etc., will make up the extra cost of building In a few years. - Safe Buildings. Our school committeemen and offi cials may persuade themselves that they cannot erect buildings of the bet ter type but- can they refuse or fail to make them safe? It can be done and in the erection of new: buildings at no additional cost and for buildings already erected, certainly at no greater » 2. ® • I l l l f« P I | g NATIONAL SLOGAN SUG GESTED BY PROMINENT MEMPHIS .

S "f&2 ? ? s i expenditure thian is more than justified by the safety 'Afforded, the guarding against the awtul loss of life to <the children of the estate by school fires. Dangers.. The two great dangers in school and many other fires are the rapidly spreading fire and the “smoke panic.1 Cut out the smoke filling the building and provide for ^conditions that will prevent the fire from spreading rapidly ... and'every child can be saved without loss of life or even damage, Of course the better class of building the slower It will burn; but som eplan is need ed to bring about these -eonditions where the better . class off buildings cannot be erected-or where the-more'dangerous class is already erected and in use. ’i. Remedy. I This can be done by closing all openings between the different floors and where the building is of hollow construction putting 'stops In the walls at each floor and at least once betweeh- floors. The place ;of stalrws'-ys or means of -communication from one-fiobr to another can be supplied by “Double Tower StairwaysV outside the main walls of the building. They are cut off from the building but enclosed and furnished: two partitions, one for the platform . and the other, for . the steps or. stairways. No - smoke lean reach from one ."floor to another -and under this plan even fill the stairways or cause the - smoke panic, the horror , of all school fires and the rosin cause of tht • casualties.1 < , Your attention is called to the cuts showing the IKrst floor and second - floor plans, and the double tower stairways. The size «f this tower and its cost depends of course upon the size of the building, bud in alt cases it can be built practically for the cost of the Inside stairway, ngade possible by the saving of space In the building and its cost. f LIFE INSURANCE GIVES PRACTI- ' CAL RELIEF.

Ac- curring in the afternoon of September. 27, the explosion shook down many buildings and threw burning gasoline In every direction. By 6:30 p. m. the fires were under control. The prop erty damage is estimated at $500,000. It was necessary to .place the city un der martial law, owing to the excite ment caused, A spark from a, hammer is said to have caused the explosion, as two workmen were repairing the leaking tank car.

It will run in a stream along the ground, fol low down a stairway, seek out'ja crack In a floor at a considerable distance, and finding the fire flash it back until it reaches the point where the Inixture of air and vapor is explosive (that point always exists somewhere) and Ignite the vapor upon the surface (the equivalent of Igniting the ..material). Instances are very numerous of this occurring at 'distances exceding 50 feet, in many cases approximiating 300 feet, and as concerns those under 50 feet, almost innumerable." | Owing to the characteristic of gaso line vapor just mentioned, It Umy be that the Ardmore explosion was-caus ed by the striking of a match, er by a flame from some other caused so l . distance from the tank car.

Coleman du Pont- was born in Ken tucky and started his working life in the mines of the Blue Grass State. He stands today as one of the few suc cessful men who have acquired their positions ;by methods that will stand scrutiny. I He has been a producer— not a stock jobber. He has never an-' tagonized: any class of people. Capital and Labor alike admire him. Without, self-advertisement he does more charity than do most men. He is an ardent advocate of good roads and believes Uiat a-really perfect system of highways will enhance the farmer’s income and reduce-the cost of living to the cities. He has built roads and given them to his state, always with a sound business scheme to perpetuate them and save/them from being a burden tci the taxpayers. - He conies from a family more Amer ican than most—a family identified with the jbuildlng of the naUon since the Revolution. His grandfather was Thomas Jefferson’s most valued per sonal friend- and advisor in the time of great Jheed during the dark days of the Republic: The great Powder Company with which hejwas formerly identified has -supplied 'pur government with all its powder fit a price always named by our government officials themselves and neves: by the. company. Because oFhls. great executive abil ity and high Standing in the business world, some of the shrewdest po litical minds In the country consider him as being one of the most'likely “dark horses” for the RepubUcan nomination. They point to the fact that his success in life would elimin ate any need for a friendly Colonel House, or any other financial Inflnan,,? standing ever behind the presidential Ohair. Nor would he be' compelled to take orders from any man or group oi Another factor that the supporters oi General du Pont are pointing to is his knowledge of military affairs. For sixteen years he has been identified with the siddiery of bis state and is thoroughly alive to the necessity for preparedness. He has also had practical, training in politics, hav- tag Jieen a delegate to a number of State and National conventions, and serving as a member of the Republican National committee for many years. It is the splendid business training Of Generfil du Pont that is pointing toe way; for him to the nom- tnjtion.

A recent article on the value of Gie continuous installment poUcy was en titled “Monthly Income Insurance.” It was designed for distribution as an advertising medium to create a favor able atmosphere for the agent when he .called to present his proposition. Tucked away in one corner of the rather lengthy explanation of the ad vantages of this form of insurance were the words “As long as. she'shall live.” How much more effective as a title these words would have been! What wonderful suggestive power Ues In this simple phrase! W hat an ap peal it carries to any right-minded man with'loved ones! These words are the foundation of the whole struc ture of life insurance, but, unfortu nately, until the installment provisions were incorporated in the life insurance contract the foundation was often laid .in quicksand and the structure so la boriously reared by the husband or father at a cost of selfdenial and sac rifice to shelter his dependents was toppled over in some cases before the grass grew on his grave.
