Crier, of Stat c-sv illc, which occurred at Williamston Monday, was received by Wataugans as. a distinct shock. Ho was known, respected and loved by a larger part of our citizens-hip. It was the groat pleasure of this sciibe to have known Mr. Grier in several important capacities, and he never knew him to deviate in the least from the path of rectitude, whether in legislative halls, on the hustings in behalf of himself or some friend asking for political preferment; before a jury pleading for a client, nonrintr but the very best ef-i for* . h,- nhss- ?se.d for hi-; interested friend, or in his home town fighting as only Harry drier couid fight for every move agitated for the betterment of his Beloved city. Statesman, patriot, lawyer of great ability; one of the strong pillars of. his church and leader of civic affairs I in his Beloved city was Mr. Greer. In] his death the State, Iredell County! and Statcsville in particular, has suf- j feied an almost irreparable loss. To the heart-broken family?wife and two sons?The Democrat extend* its deepest sympathy. o RESTORING A LANDMARK The authorities at the Appalachian State Teachers College are befng complimented by the citizenry for their action In keeping the old academy building, }? first >.- the campus, in good repair. This season the build j ing has been treated to a hew coat I of paint both inside and out, heat has boon nrovi.h'd frum ;h?? cs-nrr*?l nlant. p.ttd von :: new nn'i:ii >nir. was idac.e/1 Vilatu??i the grrat bell. A- th.r Twentieth Century vro? ^lL *-'?ght men seated themselves in the pine needles on what is now the campus, discussed the needs of the community along- educational lines, and out of their scheming and subsequent solicitations and subscriptions, was buildcd the large framed academy, fhe nucleus around which the Dougherty brothers caused to be fashioned a million-dollar plant. Few of those men who helped in the early educational struggles in the mountain village are left, but those who are. feel proud that Dr. Dougherty has kept the old building "dressed up," so that, it won't appear I shabby in the midst of its; imposing j fellows. The original hall o: learning provides a shining memorial to pioneer| courage and vision, anil particular)?-] to the genins wnich enabled the Doughertys 10 carry on to a glorious FACE TO FACE (Robert Quillen in Fountain Inn Tribune) Some days ago Senator Ed Smith was in The village and stopped in front of the Tribune office to win my vote. That was my first glimpse of him and the shock was so great that 1 could scarcely believe him real. He seemed to have stepped out of some novel by Opie Reed. He did most of the talking, but it] wasn't conversation and he seemed very personal about it. Ha just made speeches at mc. With his eyes closed or gazing at imaginary crows over my head, he orated and harrangued and made the welkin ring. Never have I heard so much gorgeous languag ] wasted on one man. He never used less than thro:1 figures of speech, two quotations from the classics and forty big words to express the most simple three-word idea. Hp must he a curly wolf on the stump if he can gflgg? I IT'S NOT FOR US TO TALK (Statesville Landmark) Some of the North Carolina newspapers seem to be much disturbed of the age of 12 to drive cars. The objection is well taken, but since we vlciv'o tcarrioe r\f nnw a't" Carolinians will have to settle their | own probiems for aii of us. North: Carolir forbids children under! the age of 16 to drive cars. But it will be generally agreed that children under the age of 16 do drive cars, without let or hindrance. It is rarely that action is taken to enforce the law and if the parents or other fear owners permit youngsters of the age of 10 or 12 or 14-15, to take the steering wheel they do, and the same ^ lflfwmientlv wrmitted TTntil we can enforce our own regulations we should worry about what the neighbor " -. - ciuiuici' arts uoiug.

CHARLES E. 1HJNX THE HOME AND COMING GENERATION I Lesson tor Uctober 16?Mark 10:13-16. Golden Text: Proverbs 22:6 i j Al Cum'"iiiiigTiVoi His ropuiaHt: 'people came to Jesus In targe nun ibers for help, comfort, and inspin tion. Some brought their sick to b healed. Others, as our lesson tells us presented their children for His grr I cioiis rottrh Tilts almif-aigliteu disciples objec! ed, glaringly, failing to appreciat their Master's mind, e r i How receptive are* chw. E. Dnrj ! children! Simple, and confiding they possess to the fu God's Kingdom in their hearts. The arc- the meek who inherit the eartl They live in great realities. No wor der Jesus blessed them, anhouncin jthat only those may enter the lieaii :of the Eternal who cultivate the uf ward-looking, open-hearted, childlik spirit. Now this atmosphere of psrfcc sympathy and trust the Master brea ji-nea upon cnnaren is one we chei ish for the Christian home. Unfortu (nately the modern family too of to I reveals a disturbing innnsr conflic and strain. Furthermore, modern man is s fashioned that parents are largely separated from their offspring. Th< tendency is to farm them out to th school, the Church, the camp, or th. Scout troop. A real divorce betweo the interests of the older and younge: generations is thereby encouraged. There is great need for a reviva of the family circle, with parents am children creatively working togeth er in education, the fine arts, poli tics, and religion. Let m= sugges definite religious practices. Consider daily prayer. There is n* reason why the members of the fam ily, young and old, should not joii in prayer together every day, evei if tiitiy uul repeat the Lord's \frayei Grace should always be said at th table. Again, Bible 3tories can b read to the children in the home Above all, every parent should striv m nccji me aimo3pnere ot the famil; group true to the light of the Chris tian ideal.
