Renteredattlie Postoffloe at Graham, N. C., an second cl matter. GRAHAM, N. C., Oct. 2, 1913. Governor Craig and the Corpo ration Commission have advised the acceptance of the offer by the railroads reducing freight rates. It is stated that the offer will reduce the freights about two millions, of dollars paid by the shippers of the State as the rates now stand. This appears to be quite a substantial reduction, but it is,claimed that this State pays ' about twelve million dollars more under the present rates than does our neighbor, Virginia. If that be true, there is something wrong, very wrong, with the raites, and our State is entitled to relief. The Just Freight Rate Association is opposed to the offer and there is also strong opposition from our eastern cities which have water outlets upon the ground of dis crimination. Governor Craig has issued a proclamation which we publish in in full in this issue, setting apart November 51 h and (ith as "Good lloads Days'" for North Carolina. II is something for the real mate rial. benefit of the good old State, and if the people will heed the in junction and apply themselves to work of road improvement on the days set apart by the Gover nor, road improvement in North Carolina will receive a forward movement that will be notable in her history. Let the people fake hold of the matter in real earnest and something will be done. The Legislature has had a flood of local bills to deal with, but yes terday was fixed as the last day on which any local bill should be introduced in- the House, The remainder of the time will be taken up with those already intro duced and with the constitutional amendments proposed.

Koosevelt announces that he will go to South America thin Winter on a hunting trip under the auspices of the American Mu xeuni of Natural History, If the Col. would wait awhile and make a longer stay, he could drop in about the right time to give the Bull Moose a chase in 1916.

Joy the opportunities which they bring. I call upon all patriotic people 1 throughout the State to work up on the public roads, and retrain ! from all other occupations on j these appointed days; and, I call upon every able-bodied man to J shoulder his shovel and march out and strike a blow for progress. Let the farmer, the merchant, the lawyer, the doctor, the minister of the Gospel, the rich and the poor, l and the men of all the walks of life enlist as volunteers in this mighty army for grand accom plishment. Let no man be above this work, i nor forget his duty to himself and to his neighbors. It will be an honor to every man on those days to Inbor with his fellow-man to banish from the country the curse 1 of bad roads and the evils which 1 accompany them.

NORTH CAROLINA COUNTIES - ARE PROGRESSIVE. Only One of the (>■• Hundred Out af MJme In Health Work. Last Monday at the regular ses ' lion of the Board of County Com missioners, Orange county mstde an appropriation of $250 for the pur , pose of co-operating with the State Board of Health in estblish ing a public health and hook worm campaign in that county. Kandilph and Davidson counties recently made similar appropria priations for the same purpose. This makes 99 of the one hundred counties in North Carolina that have shown a sincere interest in the welfare of their people. Hu man lives and human, suffering hav appealed to the commission er* of theae counties above dollars and cents. The value of good cit izenship has been rated above live stock, in contradistinction to the custom existing in North Car olina in the days gone by. This is a most remarkable situation in the health work of this State. But for the faiiue of the Ashe county Board to take favorable action it could have been reported that every county in North Carolina is interested in its health conditions, and had co-operated with the State Board of Health, and provid ed funds to better the health and sanitary conditions of its people. No other State in the Union has reported such a marvelous awak ening of its peope, and it ia to be hoped at the next meeting of the [ Board of Commissioners of Ashe county they will reconsider their decision and thusmake the coun ties of North Carolina unanimous in their action and attention to health and sanitary matters. Dr. C. I. Pridgen of the Hook worm Commission of the State Board of Health is hoping to re port before long that and active campaign has been conducted in every county in the State. This will give North Carolina her usual place as the first of all the States of the Union to accomplish this. Children rulining Aims-Houses. Ever think of what it cost* a county to run its county home? It is no small task tor society to provide for itself and then chip in enough on the side to support thoss who do not supprt them selves. Hangers-on, those una ble or unwilling to support them selves, whether they rob, Bteal or beg for a living, are a burden on the rest of us. Now, there' are other kinds of burdens and hangers-on, besides people who don't supprt them selves. and you, Mr. Reader, are probably not the one that pays the bills, either. Did you ever think that your own little boy or girl, or some of your neighbors' boys and girls, are paying out more to support hangers-on and sapsuck ers than you are 1 Did yon ever think of their supprting an alms house on such a large scale that it takes from 6 or 10 per cent, to 50 or 75 per cent, of their strength and energy to pay the bills ? Well, that is just what is happening In the case of about one-third or one-fourth of our boys and girls. They are support ing hookworms, aapsucking, ha lg ers-on, and don't know it. You probably don't know it either, or you would no£ stand for it. When these boys and girls are running Just a small almshouse, ■ay paying only 5 or 10 per cent, of their income ofr the hookworms no one notices the difference. They weigh perhaps six or eight pounds leas than they otherwise would, and catch three colds where other boys and girla catch one. They go along getting 85 to 90 in school work instead of 95 to 100, as they deeerve. You, however, Mr. Taxpayer, contribute your mite here in supporting schools that do not give you 100 cents on the dol lar. That la how our boys and girla run almshouses. Shall we stand for it much longer T ••• • • Naturally everyone wanta to see preventable misery and life waste eliminated. However expressions of sympathy and regrett, however sincere, will not do it. *««U Matht Cvagb Medicines If you want to contribute direct ly to the occurrence of capillary bronchitis and pneumonia, use cough medicines that contain co dine, morphine, heroin and other sedative* when you have a cough or cole). An expectorant like Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is what is needed. That cleans oat out the culture beds or breeding places for the germs of pneumo nia and other germ diseases.

When primitive man first found It | necessary to use weapon* there must have been some men among the clan who had a greater "knack" or ability In forming them than other men, Just a* some men hare the ability to paint 1 or to chisel atatuea today. And it naturally followed that theae men aoon found all their time occupied In mak ing weapon* for the othel- men who could use them skillfully enough, but could not make them. Aa civilization advanced, meagre aa waa the advance, (here seems no 1 doubt that the cavea or huta of these weapon makers became veritable shops. later, to indicate which of the huta contained weapon makers, some i weapons were hung outside the en-1 trance. In this manner waa Intro-: duced the first ahop sign. It would have been Impossible to engrave on a slab of soft atone or burn In a a lab of wood "John Broken tooth, Maker of Spears," and atlck this over the "ahop," for the very simple reason that there waa no alphabet, no knowledge of writing or reading and no written language whatever. But the Idea of hanging up some weapons Indicated Just as clearly to primitive man that there was a man inside who made those things aa would a big algn over a store today Indicate that guns and knives and revolvers were aold Inside. Even aa recent as when London was ' quite a village very few men had 1 names. The man who made pottery! hung up some earthen pots. Later he | was called "Potter," and so the name of Potter came about. But shop signs were used thousands of years before there was any writing, and consisted of the articles themselves or some thing that stood for them, such aa the bush over the wine shop door. No doubt, when characters were first used, these were used as signs. The first character writing waa de cidedly crude, being rough deslgna of articles themselves, pictures of men and of animals and weapons and dishes. Then, Instead of hanging out the artlclea themselves, pictures grav en In stone or painted on stone of the articles made and sold were placed in ( front of these shops. From that to the characters that were without pictures, but which were in reality a crude alphabet and told ] In actual reading a story, were used j as signs. A sort of combination of a picture of a sword, perhaps, and a ! ' few characters whloh stated that fine ' swords were made there. Then came the days when men had f names and so they put their names j' on their signs, together with letter ' c ing and pictures, such as "John's Bon,' ( Sandals," together with either a san- , dal carved In wood or a crudely paint-,, ed sandal on the sign. Today we seel j such signs as "John Smith, Butcher," | r on a sign, and above It a large head ' of a bull carved and painted or gilded. | Tags That Advertise.
