r The Asheboro Coiuier PRICE ONE DOLLAR A YEAR Wm. C. HAMMER, Editor. NOTES AND COMMENTS. lit seeking a situation it is always best to hustle for a job. The latest is that sneezing by a oow is a sign of rain. Hear a cow sneeze; dot meaas rain. A good school is a good invest ment for your money. It i.s the wisest and best investment you can make. Fine raiment cannot be relied up on to cloak crookedness, but shabby habiliments never yet helped to laud a lucrative order. There is no room for disaeutiou or disagreement on the school question. We all want to work for the up building of eur town and State. The pistol and the pistol toter bus of recent years been getting in his work pretty 'well. The habit has resulted in many homicides and deadly assaults. Is it not a part of wisdom to erect a modern up-to-date school building for present use, and our children and children's children!'' It will stand for equality of opportunity fot every child, to have an equal chance to be somebody and get on in the world. The mistake of our people in the past has been a failure to fee that the only way to develop the resource of our State and our people war through the development of the intel lectual and moral resources in the minds and souls of the little child ren. The pistol and the pistol toter are the cause of much trouble. They have brought about a condition of affairs i.n some sections that is di plorable. The habit of going secret ly armed in violation vf the law is a habit which is productive of gn at evil. May the day hasten when men will be put above money. When the scale shall be removed from the eyes of our people and they can once s-e that the best trained and the most thoroughly dvc!oped mind will make money, and that money never lias and never can make the man. The right sort of education de velops your child into thinking: learning and training of the right sort develops your mechanics ftoui a mere machine transforming him into a thinking man who applies his thought and brain to improving condition and benefitting his family and his fellownian. So it is as to the farmer and every other class. In the settlement of taxes by Sheriff Page of Wake county the records shows that he collected '.'S per cent of the taxes levied and charged up to litn. The amount collected was IT"-!, 82 7.12. This is a spleidid record. There ought lo be law requiring the settlement of sheriff to be published. In some counties, there is poor business management on the part of the couety commis sioners and proper business methods are not in use. A wage earner's job never meant so much as it means today. A job means everything to him w ho has the burden, some times hard, but al ways glorious, of little mouths to feed. The feai that these little ones might suffer which he is helpless to prevent haunts the poor wage earner in the crowded settlements and this it is which causes many to take ex treme views and measures w hich re sults in misunderstandings between labor and capital. Some one has said that the best part of one's education does not come from books, nor does it come from formal lessons learned from books, but it is that which comes in to life nnconsciously from surround ing associations and environments. Taking this to be true then it is im portant that during the formative period of childhood, it is best to have children surrounded by environ ment which will unconsciously give them higher ideals of what the home should be. There is not a beautiful home in ur town that is not an expiession of the love of some man for some woman and some child. Just so as to the churches. They sought an expression of the faith and love that the builders hold for the Lord and Master. There is no where in our broad land beautiful school house that is not a beantiful expression of the faith and the love of childhood of the community in which it is located. The kind of school Louse our faith and love prompts ns to erect is a measure of the f:h and love we have ia onr children. f Valuable Residence Lots! In Asheboro, N.
