The war showed convincingly tiow dependent ..the nation' is oh the full l^çÿdùctlvlty of the farms. Despite bwculean efforts, iigricuiturai. produc­tion kept only á few .weeks or months ahead of cnusumptioni and that only by Increasing the acreage, of certain «tapié crops at the «ist■ of rèdaclag -tliat of others.

Let uf, then, consider spme of. the farmer’s gricvanccs, and see how far they ore real. In doing-so, we should rememher that, while there have been; and still arcj instances of. purposeful abuse,'tlie subject-should not heap-, proached with ' any general 'imputation to existing distributive agencies of de­ liberately Intentional oppression, but rather with the conception that the marketing of farm producte baa not been modernized. An ancient evil, and persistent one. Is the ìindorgradlng of farm.prod; ucts, with the result that what tlie farmers sell as oV one quality la re­ sold as of a higher. That this sort of chlca'hery should persist on an'y Im­ portant scole in these days of busl- .ness_l_«5^Uy_jyoi^jseem.^ credible,^ but there. Is much evidence; tliat it does bo persist. Even as t write, the newspapers announce the suspension ot several Qrma from tlie New York- Produce ISschange for .ex­ porting to Oei-many as No. 2 wheat a whofe shipload of grossly inferior wheat ■ nilx«d with oats, cliaff and the like. ' Another evil-Is'tlmt of - Inaccurate weighing'of farnr products, whicii. It Is charged. Is sometimes a matter of dlsiionest intention and sometimes of protective' iiollcy, on-the part of the local buyer, who fears thot he may weigh out".'innre than he “weighs In." A greater grievance Is that at pres­ ent, the field fanner,has.little or mo control, over the time and conditions of marketing tils' prcducts, with the result that'he is ot,,eri 'underpaid for his products and usually overcharged for marketing service. The diCter- ence between what the farmer re­ ceives and what, the : consumer pays often cxcècds all possibility of justl- flcatlon. To cite a single Illustration. Last year, according to flgUres attest­ ed by the railways .and the growers, O.eorgla wntcrraelon-ralsers r'ucelved on tbe average 7.5 cents for a melon, the railroads got 12.7 cents for---carry­ing It to Oaltlinore and the.coruumer paid one dollar, leaving 70.8 cents, for ij, i uovu mm tne Deaer^Keae^o -the-aei%‘tca-Xifnnm'lratSTi8'%ud'TitgTis6sjr auilio^ized . tlie to'ed-ilS ni>nln»t OnO „„...A »-- — '■ that they are dem'nndlng, hnd.are-the 'recjpletlts' uf, special privileges.

If It be proper for men to form, by fusion 'of existing corporfitlons or otherwise; à corporation that controls the entire, production of a commodity, or . a large part of it, wl\y is it not proper for a group of farmers to unite for the marketing of their common products, either In- one or in several selling agencies? Why should It be ri«bt for a hunilred thousand corporate shareholders-to direct 25 or-SO or:40 per cent of fin industry, and'wrong for a, hundred ' thousand co-operative farmers;to control a no larger propor- tlou of the wheat crop, or cotton, or any other product?

It Is com'plalned that, whereas the law restricts Federal ñesAwe banks to three mouths' time for commercial paper; tlio 'fanner Is 'allowed six months on his riotcs. This Is not a' special privilege, but merely such- a recognition of business conditions-as makes It possible - for country banks to do business with country people.The crop farriier has only one turn­ over a year,‘while, the 'merchant and manufacturer have many.

This Is peculiarly an age of flux and change and new deals. Because a tbiDg always has been so no longer ..piean* that It U righteous, or always shall be so. More, perhaps, than ever before,, there is a widespread feeling that ail human relations can be Im­proved by taking thought, and that It ,1s not,, becoming for the reasoning anl- ,mai to leave his destiny largely to chance and natural Incidence. Prudent and orderly adjustment of production and distribution In accord­ance with consumption Is recognized as wise management la every business but that of farming. Xet,-I venture to gay, thera la no other Industry in which it 1« so important to the. pub­ lic—to the blty-dweller—that produc­ tion should be sure, steady, and In­creasing, and that distribution shoulil be in proportion to the need,. The un­ organized .'farmers nnturully act blind­ly and impulsively and, in conse­ quence, surfeit and dearth, accompa- nied by disconcerting price-varlatlons. liarass the consumer. One year pota­ toes rot In the'fields because ot excess production, and there Is a scarcity of the things that liuve been displaced to make way'for the esponslon-of the potato acreage: next year the punish- :6d farmers mass, their fields on spme other crop, and potmoes enter the class ot lux;iries; and so on. Agriculture 1» the greatest and fun- liamentally the must liaportant of our Aroericau Industries. The cities art- but the branches ot the tree of i»a- rtonal life; the r.oots-of which go deep, ly Into the land.. W'e 'all flourish or dscVln* with the farmer. So, when we of the cities read of the present uni rarial distreis ot tJi of pres- •lump of six billiou dollars in the farm Й .t^elr CT^e in, li *И'1в year. us against 20.2 ceutsrfor growilng and transporting. The hprd annals of farm-life are replete with sucli com­mentaries on the crudeness ent practices. Nature prescribes that tha farmer’s "goods" must be tlnlshed within two or throe months of the year, while iinanclal and storage limitations gen­erally compel him.,to sell them at the same time. As a rule, other jndustrie.s are in a continuous process of ilnlsh- Ing goods for tlie iimrkets', they dis-) tribute as they produce, and they can curtail production without too great Injury to'themselves or thè coriimii- nity ; but if the funner restricts his output. It Is ivith disastrous conse­quences, both to hluiself and to the community. , r - The average farmer Is busy with production for the major part of the year, and has nothing to sell. J The bulk of bis output comes ori tlie mar­ ket at once; Because of lack of stor­ age facilities and of financial support, 'the farmer cannot carry ; hig gopds through the year anti dispose of theiii as they are currently needed. In the great' majority of cased, farmers liav« ■to entrust storage—In warehouses and elevators—and the tlnnnclal -carrying of their products to others. '• , Pàrin products are generally mnr- ueted at a'time when there Is a con­gestion of both trunsportntlon and finance—when cars and -money are scar-:é. The oiitepmo, in many In ataiiccs, is that the fui'mei's not only sell under pressure, and therefore ai a disadvantage, but are,compelled to take further reductions in net retunis,In order to meet the charges for the , service of storing, transporting, flncnc- Ing, and ultlumt« inai'Ueting—which charges they claim, aro . often e.\cus. flive, boar heavily on both.'consiiiiiei, and prouucer, and are under the eontrot of thri«;p HPl-fmimlno tbo omA liW It Is true that they are relieved. ofthe.. rUka - of, a chunglng luavkot byseUIng -'at once j but ihey are (julte wllh .. . .................... .. eral Riserve banks to discount export paper for a-period of six months, to' conform to tlie nature of the busi­ness. . . ■' Tlie.

All, this is generally conced­ed to be to the advantage of the con­ sumer. Nòr does the steel corporation inconsiderately dump its products on the market. ' On the contrary, It so acts that it is frequently a stabilizing Influence, as is often tiie case with oth­ er large organizations. It is master of its distribution as well as of its’ pro­duction. If prices are not satisfactory the pródnets are held back or protluc- tlon Is reduced òr suspended. It is not compelled to send a year’s work to the market at one time and take whateyei' It can get under such clrcumstnrices. It lias one selling policy and Its own export department. Neither aro the grades and qualities of steel determin­ed at the caprice of the buyer, aor does the latter hold the scales. In this sln- I gle Integration of the steel corporation I Is represented about 40 per cent of the steel production of Ameiicai The rest Is mostly In the hands of a few large companies. In ordinary times the steel corporation, by example, stabilizes all steel prices. If this Is pérmisslble (It Is even desirable, because stable and fair prices are essential to solid and continued prosperity), why would It'bo wroug for the farmers to utilize central agencies that would have simi­lar, effecto on agricultural products? Soioethliifi like that Is what they’ are aiming at. Some farmers favored by regional compactness and contlgiilty, such as thé cltrus-fnilt-raisërs of Oiillfornia, al­ready have found a way-legally merge and sell .their products Inte- grally:and-ln accorduuce with seasbraland local demand, thus Improving their position and rendering the coii sumer a reUable service ot ensured quality, certain supply, and reasonable and relatively steady prices. * They have not found It necessary to resort to any special privilege, or tp claim any exemption under the anti-trust legislation of the state, or nation. With­ out removing local control, they have built up a .very efBclent marketing agency,- The grain, cotton, arid to­ bacco, farmers,, and tho producers of hides and wool, becaiisé of their num­ bers and the vastness of their regions, an® for other reasons, imve found Integration a more difflcult task; though there are now., some thousands of farmer’s co-operative elevators warehouses, creameries, and other en­ terprises of one sort and another, with a turn-over of a blllloo dollors a year They _are giving the farmers business e.xporlence and training, and, so far as they go, tliey meet the need of honest weighing and fair grading; but they dfl not meet the, requirements of rationally adjusted marketing in any large and fundamental way, ■The next step, which will be a pat­tern for other group», Is now being prepared by the grain:ralsers through the estabUahment of sales media which shall handle gi'ain separately or col- lactively, as the individual farmer may elect. It is this step—thft plan of the ~C-ûmrnUtoe-o;^-SaV6r.ieûii-ivi.-:tiï-iia»-icrsatcd so much opposition aud is thouglit by soma to be in conflict with tho anti-trust laws. Though there is now before congress a measure de­ signed to clear up doubt on this point, the graln-producors are not relyinc on any immunity from anti-trust leglsla- ' Î are en­titled. to co-ordinate their efforts Just as effectively as tho large business In- tei-eats of the country have done. In connection with thè selling organiza­tions the United States Grain Growers Incorporated Is drafting a scheme of flnanclng Instrumentalities and auxili- ary agencies which are Indispensable to the successful utilization of modem business methods. It is essential that tlie farmers should proceed gradually with these plans, and aim to avoid the error of scrapping the existing maritetlng ma ch nery, which has been so laboriously built up by long experience, before they have a tried ond proved substl tute or •uppiemontary meclmrilsm Ihey must be careful not to become enmeshed in their own reforms and lose tbe-perspective of their place in the oaUonal system.

I have no apprehensUna on this point - In the flfst place, a loose orgrinlza- tlori,; such as any union of farmers must be at best, cannot be so arbl-, trarlly and promptly controlled as a great corpprallon.

CANA, RT. 11 'Щ ш BY BROCK BARKLEY, Raleigh, Feb. 4,—A new county Kovernment law fox' the 'state, providing for the complete reorganization of thé form ,of govern- méntin thé counties and the auditing systems in operaiion in them, is wantedi by Governor Morrison, and machinery soon will be sét in motion which is expected to bring about this change. Thé governor will appoint a commisawn of distinguised and able men of jthe'state to investigate and consider thé drafting for sub, mission to the next general assembly of a new county , government law.- ■ While declining to make any definite announcement’just now as tcfiiis plan, Governor Morrison said he was selecting h commission which he would ask to serve for the purpose of taking the whole matter into considération and aid him in drafting a new law for the putpose^of submitinig it when the législature convenes twelve mon­ ths lience, iand askmg for their consideration of the whole subject, - The governor is satisfied that great improvemeni can be made in the county governments of the state. He thinks the present, law under which the counties are governed is out of date.-“ Thè main / body of.it has been handed down from the first county government act adopted after the war. , ~ Were it not for the honesty of cpunty officials, county govérn- ments would be absolutely-worthless to the people under the èxist- ing systems,, the governor thinks. He believes that d careful study of thé subject by a body of capable men,’ with the resultant passage by the next legislature of wise and comprehensive legislation cover ing a fo^p of county government that would be efficient and mod­ ern, would be a progressive and beneficial movément. The commission will be appoiiited within a few weeks and asked to bégin work at once in order that a thorough investigation might <be made and every consideration given the subject, so that when the general assembly meets a law can be enacted that will insure : for the people a more satisfactory form of county government.

The jnerchants irho read Üie publie mind most accuiatdy get the buslneaa. When one finds thaï he needs wihe- thing, the question comes up Kfhere that article should be bought. From some source back In the mind the suggestion comes that such and such a place would be a good store to visit for that purpose. Whence comes that suggestion^. In the majority of cases, it is cre­ ated by the store that lias made the most effort to impress its reputation on the public mind. People ¡remem­ ber the things they hear about con stahtly, and they forget other things that ore rarely called to tihoir atten­ tion, The advertised conforms to the laws of phychologyi by con­ stantly calling public attention to its entorprises, its good. Its methods, its prlcesvand the ¿avantages orxrading with it. Consequently the inner con­ sciousness, when asked what or where a person should buy is apt to reapond by suggesting ' certain advertised goods. It is of course true that while a store by advertising can always draw in a lot of new trade, it can’t' keep it unless it,really does .give good val­ ues. But advertising helps a storo do that notably in these two ways: 1. Advertising encourages mer­ chants to handle big lots when such aro offered them at low figures. They known that by appealing to the public by advertising they canawing these biff lots and turn them into money in a short time. Thus buying In a large way and taking advantage of spécial opportunities they are able to offer spécial values. 2. Advertising Increase? volume of trade thus reducing the operating and ovarhead/expense per article, making it possible to cut prices to the public. The advertised store can thug make low prices. 1 ,-A----’ ♦ -- ■AÎRTIFICIAL p r o s p e r it y ClftvelandStar;_____|______________ Shaking of protection, the tariff bill 1« tc ieserv« th» “home market” for Americans.

He seems to have opened his eyes to the fact that^bur system of county govern- meat is antiguated and needs'im* mediate reforming.

In fact there iire few farmers who care to have the birds disturbed, yet few are aware of the increase in the number of birds that may be bi’o’ught by giving a. little attention to nesting peaces.' The estipiation is that birds save agricultiire ..four\hundi¿d...miUiq^ dollars anually in this country, while there are only .two birds to the acre. 'VVe might safely add fifty to the acre, and then have corn weevins, cotton boll weevil, cut-wonms, caterpillars, and potato'^biigs in abundance, to say , nothing of the arhny worm, grass hopper and chinch -bug, all of which have scores of enemies in the bird faihily. Any farm boy can toll you how carefully a bluebird will folloNv the plgw in the early Spring, and with what deftness of si^htand caution he will pick a cut-worm almost from under the singletree. Then toó, there are-Very few birds that really do any harm worth, mentioning.Of course, the hawk often takes to the poultry yard, when the chickens are young and his ■supply of food scarce, but give him a scare or'lwo, and hold hiin off-till grass-hoppers are plentiful and he will amply repay the theft. The i^'ow, once to destructive to.young cprn, and mêlions, has leárñed to be gooiJ most of the time, and rarely ever attacks the ci'ops Any more, and- even the once hated English sparrow, has .been.found io.be an insect'destroyer, and only a grain- thiéf when necessity pushes^hian to .the extreme measures.for a livlihood. Treat: th^ birds well and they will amply I'epay you. Set the boys to find out their habits, and prepare nesting places suited to éách. and .y.òu will sOon find a mutual understanding grow- ing. 'between boy _and''bird that .,is far from the proverbal sus­ picion on the part ;of the the nest-i'obihg, .stone-throw- ing'habit on the part of the boy, . , , ,, V Yes, as the. great‘scientist p it, the old ëàrth j ust will wabble on it's poles a little sometimes, iind cause a shock iwhen it wabbles back, ^nd often the shock deals out more or less destruction of life and iproperty; Wet seasons and idry seasons -will conle along, and often a hope we have.ch^ished for thè better part,of.,.a life time is shattered at a single blow of the powerfuL workings of proviijénce; but if we suin all up and .balance the loss and gain, we/cah. but. decide; that the old earth is a pretty good .place to live in after ail,her antics. A very conservative democçai *re- The following statement which we clipped from some newspaper a few days ago should be of cona- fort to many country newspaper publishers-that ie, those who have rich uncles: A country editor, says the Hibr ernia Rabbit, published by the Hibernia Bank and Trust Com-* pany, of New Orleans who start­ ed life poor twenty years ago, has retired with a fortune of $50,000. This money was acquired through industry, economy, conscientious efforts to give full value, indom­itable perseverance, and the deatli of an uncle ifrho left the editor *49.999.50. *'Mocksville is taking on-new life during the past fewmonths,” remarked a gentleman to us sev­ eral days ago. This man travels all over the state, and he recent­ ly spent some time in Mocksville, and, close observer that he is, is convinced that the near future bolds something big in store for this town, if the people here will only stand together and work for the development -of the town. Had you stopped to think how much better it is for a visitor to get this kind of impression than for him to be impressed in the opposite way and go' off .arid re­ mark that Mocksville is "dead.. Lets keep them talking this way and we shall soon see things hap­ pening here which will astonish the most sanguine among us. The Salisbury Evening Post in its. issue of February 6, has the following editorial: , As we read it there is some talk in the town of Mocksville of building a half mile of concrete sidewalk' “down,Salisbury St,”, which is pretty fine talk if they will stop talk and pour concrete. Quite a good deal of progressive talk is under way in the Davie capital and from so much в good deal ot progreM'may,be exacted.

Perhaps a^ose of castor oil, might have left that gentleman in a position to realize some brightness in the world, even with the republican party'in powerj we don’t know, as we are^not posing as any phy­ sician.

There is pretty generally enough good mixed along with any e.vil, anyway, to minimize the effects of the ¿vil, if we liave the balance of nerve to allow us to see clearly, and have the \vill for extracting the good.

Parks, was a pulpit orator of notable abiliiy and power. About 1840 Rev. Baxter Clegg was appointed principal of Mock- sville Academy and for probably fifteen years confiucted this high school with signal success. He was a useful man and exercised • a fine influence over the, student body and many of the promment ment men of; that section got their training under this inspir­ ing instructor. Among these were Dr. S. MiUon Frost, Dr. L. L. Hendren, Dr. H. T. Hudson and:; W. C. Wilson, Methodist scholarship and had the gift of imparting what he knew so as to inspire students wilh confidence in the teacher and in themselves as well.Finally broken in health he had to lay down his task and then his daughter, Miss.Mattie M. Eaton, who “fel'f called to foreign mission work, gave up her life plans in order tj remain ,with heraiilicted father and continue the work he iàd so well e.stablislied. She was a wonian ÓÍ deep piety^and supe­ rior mental gifts. When but six­ teen years old she took charge of ler father’s school and was able to instruct the advanced students n higher mathematiclpand Gi'eek After 'her father died she With ler aunt. Miss Laura Clement, ler equal in mental and religious equipment, established Sunny- side. Aca^demy in -Mbcksyille, a school for thoroughness of work and'fo^ moral and reliigious influ­ ence was a bles^ing/pf untold value, to the whole county. The religious side of education was magnified as of róost importance, Ì3òth of these elect ladies were well grounded theologians with e, clear grasp of the great truth a of the Bible, and knew the foun­ dation doctrines of the church as well >as the average préachers did; Wesley, Clarice and Fletch­ er v/ere to them\old friend;, so familiár were they with the im­ portant ; doctfiñés they taught. The student body^was réquired on each Friday to, Team th^ Sun­ day school lesson for the follow­ ing Sabbath andlihose-students knew- their lessras when they recited at Sunday school. Miss' Eaton when but sixteen years old could repeat ; from' memory the four gospels and all the • Psalms.

While wé have this; opportunity let's everyone do our best to ac­ cept what they have to offer us . and put nothing in the way of the line’s being built. In one instance I know of a party that bought a piece of pro­ perty, it seemed, in order to pull the^ Southern Power Company.

'■Young Son—Father, what is ^the difference between a taxider; iiiBt and-a4axicab-?- Our Streets No Worse Than Others. There is complaint about the streets, but the streets of Mocka- ville are no worse than the un­ paved streets of other towns of the State, and other states. Go to any town and you will find the unpaved streets in bad condition just now. Why? Because there is more traffic on the town streets than on the country roads. The snows and the continued' rains have made these streets soft, and that, with the extra traffic, has has put them in bad condition. Take North Main Street, that runs for a mile or so thru the town. Is anybody foolish enough to expect the town comrhissioners to spend hundred, or thousands of dollars, on this street when it is to be hard surfaced pretty^ soon? The town commissioners are, no doubt, just as anxious to see the streets in good ccjndition as is any one else. Thei^'streets are dragged every week', or as soon after a rain as they are dry enough. Depot street from thp public, square to the depot has been paved and the knt^ckera and kickers can make no complaint of that. Just be patient for a few weeks and the March winds will dry out-the streets so that they can be got in better condition with the drag. • # Compulsory School Attend-,. : ance Law Enforced. One of the , most successful pieces of work in enforcing the compulsory attendance law comes from Cumberland County. At the request of the County Super­ intendent of Schools, Mr. John A. Martin, Supt. of Public Wel­ fare, visited a school community and found only 73 children in school. Upon investigation he found. 100 names on, the school census. He knew there were more children in the cnmmunity that, should be in chool and decid ed to look'for them. » On an island in the district he discovered 15 families that did not know there was a compulsory achool attendance law and the 40 children belonging to these fami­ lies* were riot in school. 183 child- ren were in school at the end of Mr. Martin’s three day’s investi­ gation and the next week when he returned for a visit he found that 217 had been enrolled. The school officials had to hustle to Hon shares 'o'fr**’^ teachers to take care of the unexpected 144. , More than 75 per cent o£ the children walked to school and many of them come as far as 3 miles., Last year the building was burned and ijow the teachers are uaing^ small rooms in' four sepa­ rate 'buildingf3—an^ old barber sliop; the,!l\all, oyer a drug'.'store and rooms ovet'.'th'e- Masonic Tem ■pie. Ill spite of these ;handicaps not a Biiig|e unlawful absence has' been rei|6rted since Mr. Martin’s visit to the community. News To Her The Davie Laundry Co. Will Open Soon.

Mr. Cannon has his good points and points -not so good; traits that are admirable and some that are neither admirable* nor com-: mciidable. Those who knew him personally and admire him will say that his virtues'jfar exceeded his faullts. There is no occasion tc debate about that. ' This paper has never been consumed with admiration for the veteran legis­ lator, while his ability ana sturdy honesty are cheerfully admitted. We hope for him years of peace­ ful enjpy ment in his retirement. Mention of the. fact that Mr. Can­ non was born in North Carolina is oniitted for the reason that the old nian, whil? • much flattered and fawned . on by some North Carolinians, never exhibited any speiiial interest in or consideration for the land of his birth.-. He ad­ mitted tliat he was . boirh inNorth Carolina, but it was a confession, not a boast. Undei the circum­ stances this paper has nsver pointed with pride to the fact that the Old North State gave him birth. .

' The time is here once more when the farmer girds up his lions and goes forth to the great battle with nature, nor does he" stop to re/lect that the*fate of the'workl depends upon his vvisdom and upon his brawn, never the less it is so. Never has .>?o much depended on the outcome ^of a battle, and never has a more trust worthy soldier fought it, yet for unnsuming modesty he is a wonder. Under-paid, discouraged, ho strives long hours through blistering heat and blighting cold,, with a courage and fortitude that might well' make a Spai'tari doubt tho quality of his own stamina, yet he seems never to care for these things, but pushes ahead, fully contented-with his loi!^.

Judge B. p. . Long whose salary paid to him by the tax-payers of North Carolina, aniounts to $5,- OOOi with the amount of $1,250 allowed hinx for. expenses, has raised a protest against paying his state income tax on the grounds that under thé constitu­ tion the salary of a judge shall not be lowered while in office. Most of the. state officers, we un­ derstand, have expressed them­ selves as willing to pay an in­ come tax, even though, under the constitution, they may be exempt from such, and the friends of JudgeLongwillbe,disappoint­ ed to note that he has allowed |.this small amoünt of taxtò causç him tp openl,yi test the question in the Supreme Couit. The News and Observer^ which, as we un­ derstand, Ï has always .supported Judge Long, expresses itself con­ cerning the judge’s conduct in the following rather strong lang: uage: If there is any one thing Am­ ericans abhor it is the idea of a privileged class in America. This republic was ^ born in revolt against privilege; This is peculi arly true of North Carolina.; This ingrained principle must; Ije le- spected,"even~by;~th(s~judiciary7 Even if, depending .upon an anci­ ent technical precedent.

Perhaps there"^ are''some who have very few real'dangerous shortcomings, but generally it is, the fel­ low who thinks he has fewest, who has the most as well as the most dangerous, for his inability to take unbiased stock of himself is among thé worst. Self confidence may be a good asset on some occasions, but the commander who ignores, or even under rates the strength bf ,.the eneniy, or ovër rates his own ability, is sure of a rude awakening. ■ A chain may not be stronger than it’s weakest link,: yét if we know where the weak link is,, we may shield it from the sti’ain. But with character it is still better because character will grow with the right care and the weak ink may in time become the strongest of all in the entire chain.

Too oftén it is the far away, the strange, the mysterious, that aré really worth Avhile, and in the fond dream of these guilded things, we overlook the common things that lie right at hand, just what we would seek in the far away, the guild­ ed and mysterious; But this seems to be a fatal defect in human ability to distinguish the différence, between the real and, the unreal. The wisdom of all ages has exerted its self in the quest of a cure for some »TO-fuI disease,- as leprosy, pelagra and tuberculosis, to find at least .what they have been seeking high and low, in all the mysterious places and ways of the universe; is to be h^d in the simplest forms imaginable.

No otheir course is consistent. Let us take the case of Judge Long, who has invoked the ancl ent technicality. He became, a Judge in January 1903. The following changes in salary apply to his several terms of of­ fice: 1901—Salary fixed at !$2,500 per year. , 1905—Salary raised from $2,500 to ij'3,000. Paid own exprnses. 1907—Salary raised from |3, 006 to 3,250. 1909—Spseial compensation of $1U0 per week for extra terms; iOli-Salary raised from ,$3. 250 to i?4,000, addition for ex penses. 1919-Salary raised to .$4,000 flat, with ?1,500 for expenses. 1921—Salary raised to $5,000 with ¡fl,250 for oxpensas. Judge Long has just completed 19 years' on the b.'nch, and wil be 70 years old and,eligible for can then retire upon u pension for life of $3,750.

It is far easier to ^it in an easy chair, under comfortable conditions, and surrounded virith eyei'y luxury that modern pros­ perity can afford, and speak lightly of the achievements of our ancestry, than it iá to duplicate their accomplishment. One of our favorite hobbies seems»to be making a joke of the queer cus- tomes and'queer ideas of our Pilgrim fathers, and the favorite morsel of this rare diet" seems to be their superstition and in- tolei’ant religious ibeliefs; yet we should pause to ask ourselves the question as tp whether or not our schools, churches and gov- erninent.are delivering the goods as tellingly as theirs did, and if, facing such a stupenduous task in accordance to our strength, as carrying out a nation form an unknown wilderness was to them, would be clearer headed than they were?

But summing all up, we suppose this^'-is real Americanism, pure and '' simple. George Canpentet came over from France tj contest the heavy weight pugilistic championship with'-Dempsy, and often mentioned it as a scientific game, but he went back calling it a . fight,_and then some, '^ell perhaps this spii’it of fight may be a-.valuable asset to our disposition, if properly held in check, but we arp playing with fire when we arouse it, as the war has already proven. .This spirit of contest is in every walk of life from the pulpit to the work house, and the teacher , or employer who promotes it should think twice. salary was increased $500. Two years later it was increased $250 more. In 1909 it v.'as increased by $100 for every special term of court held. In 1911 it was in­ creased from $3,250, to .$4,000. In 1919 it \vas increased to $4,500. in 1921it was increased to $5,000 with $1,200 allowance for ex­ penses. And now, because the Legisla­ ture in order to secure money to pay the salaries of judges and the other expenses of state ad­ ministration, imposeg an income tax not exceeding $60 a year on all judges and all others \yho re­ ceive a like income. Judge L<mg makes the mistake of asking the Supreme Court to revive an ab­ surd and indefensible construci- tion of the constitution to exempt Mat ell 17, '-ltZZ~and I'gtl j udiuiar-dficers-' -iriTnr-tll^ fair share of .the o.xpenses of supporting the State goybrnment. We [should like to add to the above thè statement that we can see no .just reason why a man who - has secured his living since 1903 off of the tax-payers of the great skate of North Carolina should at this time be little enough to protest the .payment of a sniall income, tax to help sup-: port the government that has suppor tedhim for the past twenty years.' We; suppose he thinks it is all right.to tax the old farmer who 4igs his living out of the ground, but that he is a privileg­ ed charncter, and entitled to special privileges. If he do'.*s,as the News & .Observer says, he should certainly have shown ra- sppct enough to his constit wncy to forego his rights,' even if he has any exemptions from incomq faxes. ,We are alj equal—when we are Percales * Silks Lawns Nainsooks ; and all kinds of dress goods and we want to tell you the PRICES ÁRE RIGHT.

TEMPERANCE.*' ' ' Methodism has always been a . foe of the liquor traffic, for in the early days when the drink evil, ■ had strong defenders in reapeçt- ■ able circles our leaders ocfcupied the front line of oppression. The ■ • advanced position taken by them , ' was not popular,' but it was right : and they stood,for the right, un-, til if wâs.so popular .that the* A ; merican nation gave its approval . by writing into the organic’ law ■ - rôf the land:prohibition in all te'rr V ritory over which floats the Stars V and’Stripes.. . ' ; 'The'followirtg resolutions were pMsed by a Salisbury circuit quair ! 4 terly '.conference held by Peter ' ■ Doub ninety^two years ago . andjj . ; r : interesting reading now: ' , • "Resolved that inasmuch au. it : : ‘ is the duty of those who labor a- V : among ÙS in the ministry, wheth- : > er traveling orlocal,lo warn their ,. congregations against t ^ debasj ' ing and sinful practìce óf intoxi- : ; v’cation; therefore we, the mem- i ;':bers'of this quarterly conference • pledge’ -to use our influenceïto ' ■ : banish the use of distilled spirits, ■ except in case of necessity or " N .when prescribed by a physician of skill and probity; We deeni it r also highly proper and’ therefore recommended to our ^^brethreri . that they should ^^a/.a/Uody, pne • and all, refusa'to partake of any treat givBH by candidates tor the ■ : , Generai Assembly, for Congress- . iir i^or; any other appointment^ .'

Butit was along - and bitter struggle in which men who possessed the martyr spirit; ¿. men of the type of Peter Doub, ; Moses Brock and John Tillett by courage and faith when the, way was , dark, folight on until,the breaking of the day,;;and vyhile ., they did not live to see the ifinal triurhph, itwas because they and ; men liKe them lived and preached and helped to, arouse a public con science, which at last, repudiated the whole business. ■ ^ Su n da y schools ; Many parents in these times " are afraid the,.children will turn ; against the church if they arere- qijired to'spend more than forty niinutes a week in the sanctuaiy. They used to keep them at it all 'day Sunday and at quarterly con­ ference held in 1843 the brethren protested against such long ses­ sions of the Sunday School on the ground thatitwas really too wear­ isome to thè children. The con* ference delivered itself in the fol lowing words: ;‘On .ordinary , occasions the Sunday School shall , not remain in session above three hours, for iyo a're iuJly convinced th»t whore weariness commences, ii|struction ceases and many of on^r schools have been injured by beipg kept jn session from morniiig uiitil evening. We are ^so satisfied Lno that the most successful way of communicating religious instruc­ tion is catechetically; and that the time specified, three hour.^, is amply sufficient for that pur- poise.’'- , In these days the Sunday School children must have been g‘ad when preaching, d ay came, because of the variety it gave to their worship, for you may be sure their sfern parents .ma,dp them stay for church. But aids it if difTei’ent now, when two million Methodist adults on theii* waj^ to, church meet two million Methodist children on the way home from Sunday School. ■ii-. QUARTERAGE / . Those : who. have rendered the greatest service to ipan luhd have been least appreciated in their day. Preach* rs and teachers have generally been forced to struggle- against poverty while those profit by their service often enjoy great material prosperity. We preachers sometimes think we have a hard time when : sup­ port is meagre,; but the., poorest paid missionary in the conference today . enjoys comforts that,the early - circuit riders would have countéd it a great privilege to possess. As )ats ‘ as-1840 there w_ere but two parsonages; in ,,the old North Carolina Conference; The early preachers • received hardly no cash; most of their pay; iwas in kind: soclts, bacon, corn, molases, jeans, etc. ■ ,: Think ot Clias.

What has been collected,to defray thè ex­ penses of the circuit and how. dis tributed? and the. answer was: 111-2 bushels!corn; i’l l bushels wheat, 7 J.-2 bushels rye, 109 lbs. bacon, 65 pounds, flour, one gal­ lon molasses, paid to the preach­ er in. charge.. / But that was at a time when the South was^prostrated : just af­ ter the conclusion ’ of the war. The péople were poor and dis­ couraged without money and With liinited, : food which they man. ever endured niore of hardship for the good of his fel­ lows than did ITráncis Asbury. But in preaching the doctrine of poor pay for the preacheis he strangled the benevolent spirit among the people, and the church has ever since been forced to magnify, the call for money , for missions, for schools, for churches and a better paid^iriistry. This task would have been easier if Asbury (conscientious saint that he was) had not he used his in­ fluence' for. too rigid.ecoriomy.. But the people have grown won- derfully in ability to pay since his time and grown likewise in the grace of liberality. , Great changes have.come since those early ’ days.

' The time has come when the boy or the girl who does not receive an education is looked ^w ii upon. It was not so fifty years ago, because our fath­ ers and mothers did not have the opportunity that we have today,, Now ^ the question arises, how are we to educate our -children better than their fathers and mothers? Г say, by establishing better schools; Well how are \ve to get these schools t I can ans­ wer this question with one word, /'Consolidation.''- ; . ' What.does'this word mean? It means the joining together of all our ' schools, irt'the township iiito cine central school. How are we to get this central 'school,?.

The greater part of tiie population iiro Orientals, and to teach tliem'that ganie must be protected will prove á laborious task, lie, says. . The Chinese dove, Mongolian pheas­ ant and California quail are the most coiñmon .upland'guiue birds, although formerjy peacocks, .tiirkeya and wild chickens • were plentiful.
