It Really Doe* Relieve Rheumatism.
Everybody who is afflicted with
Rheumatism in any form should
by means keep a bottle of
Sloan'* Liniment on hand. The
minute you feel pain or soreness
in a joint ot muscle, bathe it with
Sloan's Liniment. Do not rub it.
Sloan's penetrates almost immedi
ately right to the seat of pain, re
lieving the hot. tender, swollen
fuelling and making the part easy
and comfortable. Get a bottle of
Sloan's Liniment for 25c. of any
druggist and have it in the house
?against Golds, Sore and Swollen
Joints. Lumbago. Sciatica and
like ailments. Your money back
if not satisfied, but it does give
almost instant relief. Buy a bot
tle to-day. Adv. y/C
Some Do&L's For Tilt New Year.
Don't forget that the smallest
act that will add to mother's hap
piness and commend your Saviour
to those who know him not is well
worth while. ?
Today is a golden opportunity
for hoping someone to make life
brighter. Don't fail to seize it.
. ^_X>on't forget you weield an in
fluence. Is your influence whole
some! If not, make it so.
Kind words cost but little, but
may mean much to a sorrowing
heart. Don't forget to scatter
them freely.
.Don't forget to utilize every
moment of spare time in reading
and study and you cau easily be
come an accomplished entertainer.
Don't forget thgt papers and
magagzines are a valuable acqusi
tion to any home. Culture and re
finement come from broad read
ing.
Don't forget that your faults,
when viewed by the other fellow,
look quite as conspicious as theirs
do to you.
Don't be an immitator. Have
your own individuality. Be your
self.
Don't be pessimistic. There is
too much pessimism abroad with
out your adding to the stock.
Don't forget to be sympathetic.
The world ueeds sympathy and co
operation.
D<>n,t forget that high ideals
and noble aspirations are a pre
requisite to success.
.. Don't forget that the busier
you are the more need for your
turning aside and spending a
while with Christ who is the
source of our strength.
Don't forget, to spend more
time daily in prayer and in the
study of God's word than you did
in 1914, and you will be the hap
pier and better fur it.

, LEGISLATION THAT FARMERS
V: UNION WANTS.
"
The state council of the North
Carolina Farmers' Union has out
lined the legislation that the union
demands of this Uenral Assembly.
The council is in favor of the Tor
rens system, already law, but
wants the maximum charge for re
gistration to average about S2S.
The council will a^k the General
Assembly to petition Congress for
rural credits legislation. Race
segregation is another matter that
the council will urge.?Raleigh

Respect.
Whereas?It has seemed good
ihto our Heavenly Father to take
from the infirmaties and perplexi
liea of earth to the eternal joya of
Heaven our beloved friend and

pastor and member* of Har
rellsviile Baptiat Church, in con
ference assembled to hereby.
Resolve?That in the death of
Bro. Copeland, pastor and church

tained a great loss.
That recognition be given to the
unwavering consecration and
cheerful response of the disoeased
to every need and every good
work of his church, during the
whole of bis devoted and useful
Christian life.
That in his universal acknowled
gement of the aid of other's
lifes struggles and successes, in
the gentle graciousness of his man
ner; and in his cheerfulness, even
amidst afflictions; he set an exam
ple which should strengthen and
sweet the characters of us all.
That the smiles and resignation
of his last days here pn earth were
a benidiction to all who came un

That feeling our loss to be
Heaven's gain, and mo.eover that
it is only temporary, we bow to
the will of our Heavenly Father
and felicitate our brother on hav
ing fully won his crown.
That we tender to the bereaved

HK DOSENT KNUCKLE TO COTTON.
Dunn Dispatch.
Mr. H. V. Moulton, of Duke,
was here Saturday and was still
determined not to knuckle down
to King Cotton's truculence. He
dosen't take much to the tobacco
idea, but when it comes to trying
small grain he is out there with the
foremost. Already he has large
areas sowed to wheat and oats, and
is now preparing land for spring
grain. He is thinking of giving
peanuts a trial, also* and will
probably plant more corn than
ever before. He believes that
Harnett's farmers can get along
very well without cotton and is go
<ng to reduce cotton production to
a minimum upon his land this
year.

TAKING A GOOD STAND.
Our representative, Stanley
Winborne Esq., is taking a good
stand in the legislature. Hiscom

is chairman of the committee on
Federal Relations and has been ap
pointed on the following other
committers: Judiciary, ranking
second, Courts and Judicial Dis
tricts, Election Laws, Journal,
Penal Institutions, Fish and
Fisheries and on a committee to
select trustees for the University

. Not a Failure.
And now two learned prbfessors
in leading universities solemnly
assert that the United States ia
until for self-government. One of
them in led to that conclusion be
cause lie bad invested his savings
New Haven stock and lost it in
the businessjugglery that marked
that road. That professor's views
are excusable under the circum
stances, for if anything can make
people lose faith in the political
and other stability of the country,
it is the way the New Haven and
several other lilies have been
fraudulently mismanaged, and the
leniency, and even favor that
courts, commissions and politicians
have shown them.
All the same the learned profes
sors are wrong. That representa
tive government is far from per
feet in this land few will deny,
and all will regret, but that does
not necessarily mean failure. As
a matter of fact, in spite of short
cotiiings, this country stands in
the front rank for the excellency
of its institutions and their opera
tion, and in the intelligent faith of
ivts people that all the problems
that may arise or that are existent ,
will be solved on just and righte
ous lines.
just as mere are folks that pre- (
diet all manner of things concern
ing the war, so there are folks
who see in it the fulfillment of
?
many Bible prophecies. Their
favorite books are Daniel and Re- 1
velation and passages which to 1
the average mortal are mysterious '
in the extreme are to them, in
iheir estimation, ad plain as day
light. They know, or think they
know, "all about the "Beak," ]
"Scarlet Woman," and other my
sterious characters, and the "little
honrt" "ten horns," "seventy |
weeks" and other dark passages of ;
Daniel, and the dragons, horses
and stars of Revelation present no j
difficulties whatsoever, for this
war is to reveal it all. No doubt (
such speculations are very inter ,
eating to those that delight in them
but most students of the Bible and
people generally reverentially re
frain from such curiosity while
tbey give themselves to the fur
therance of those practical ques- .
tions that are of positive value to
mankind and which so beautifully
marked the teaching and life of i
the Man of Nazareth. I

It is a curious fact that The I
Hague conferences and the com- i
pletion of the Peace Palace at The
Hague were followed by war. |
This was something neither anti
cipated nor desired by the monar- i
ch who -first suggested the holding i
of such conferences, nor by any
one else *
The first conference met in 1899
and was immediately followed by
the Boar war. The next was held
in 1907 and very soon after began
the disturbances in the Near Bast,
followed by the great war between
the Balkan States and Turkey. A
few months ago the Peace Palace
was completed, after years of
building and then came tbe great
est war in all the history.
The immediate out come of all
the conferences heralded by such
a flouish of trumpets is both dis
appointing and disconcerning to
all who pinned faith on the ability
of peace conferences to prevent
war.
Still, that does not necessarily
mean that the meetings were val
ueless or that tbe Peace Palace is
a mockery. Influences, making
for the promotion of peace and for 1
better understanding between the ;
nations, have doubtless been set
in motion by the conference held
even if they have not yet risen to
the surface, and it is not unlikely
that when the powers get wearied
of fighting the peace negotiations
may be held in the beautiful a"nd
historic Dutch city. /

Largest in Hiitory of School
Last Sunday eclipsed all records
in attendance ut the Ahoskie Bap
tist Sunday >School. The attend
ance was estimated at 300.
The swelling of the attendance
was due to the efforts of Dr. C.
0. Powell, teacher of the Baraca .
Ulass, who offered a fish to every
one who was present last Sunday.
We understand his supply of I
fishes had exhausted before all
were supplied. No such attend
ence has been reported in any
school in the county before.
