The government will find that it will have its hands full if it attempts to correct all the unwise things that those Western Stales do. The Creek Indian who is re ceiving $l2,000a month in royal ties from Oklahoma oil lands has become the Rockefeller of his race.

A Massachusetts judge has ruled that employees have a legal right to insist on their union being rec ognized by employers. And the legal right to recognition implies legal responsibilities. A French Countess has made the discovery that the conforma tion of an infant child's toes will tell whether it is going to grow up a criminal. This beats Bertillon and Lonibroso and all the rest. THE New Jersey bosses have defied Woodrow Wilson more than once before, as they are defying him on the jury reform issue, and every time they have been beaten by the forces of public opinion and decent government to which Mr. Wilson appealed. On his honor as a prophet, Rep resentative Panye predicts that if the Democrats pass the Under wood tariff bill the country wil drive them from power and re store Republican control. He speaks from painful experience and ought to know. It is barely four years since he was hard at work on the Payne tariff bill, and only six months ago the country drove the Republicans from power. Still, if Mr. Payne is so sure that the Underwood tariff will result in the country driving the Democrats from power in 1916, why waste his time in ayony and grief? When the bill coms up for passage, why not move 10 make it unanimous?

Why Use L. & M. Semi-Mixed Real Paint Because it's economical. Because it is pure White Lead, Zinc and Linseed Oil. Because it's the highest grade quality paint that can be made.

Green, receiver for the Roanoke Navigation and Water Power Company, last week closed a big deal in which he transferred all the rights, privileges and appur tenances of the aforesaid company to the Roanoke River Develop ment Company, which owns the water power at Thelma, near old Gaston. The Roanoke River Develop ment Company is a corporation with millions of dollars to back any enterprise they may undertake, and we are told that the sale of the old Roanoke Navigation and Water Power Company to the Roanoke River Development Company means much to Weldon and terri tory under the control of this com pany. Years ago Weldon people now gathered to their fathers dreamed of great things for Weldon on ac count of our splendid location, our magnificent water power, climate and railroad facilities. Some never i lived to see the beginning, others j passed away while the fruition of j their dreams appeared to be fulfill-; ing, and others lived to witness a i partial development of the water ; power here. They saw a large j corn mill go up, a big grain eleva-1 tor constructed, a cotton seed oil mill, two electric light plants, two cotton nuns ana otner improve ments, and the future appeared rosy. But later they saw the cot ton seed oil mill swept away by flames, they witnessed the closing of the corn mill, and finally the de struction of the canal by a great freshet in 1912. But the people still had faith. The property was placed in the hands of George C. Green, attor ney, as receiver, and with that splendid business tact for which he is noted, he has made a sale which means a renewal of hope for Wel don people, and great gain for the Roanok River Development Com pany. It places them in posses sion of a fine water power and we learn that they will spend quite a sum in developing it and making it a valuable asset for the owners. Here's hoping for progress and development all along the line. Advertised Letters. The bl owing is a list of letters remaining "uncalled for" in the Weldon post office: W. T. Cullum, Buddie Debrow, G. W. Hale, P. Himmelfart, David C. Joyner, Mrs. W. C. Mitchell, Miss Lenora Scott, Ruffin Saner white. T. B. Walker, Mamie Wil son, (colored.) Persons calling for above letters will please say "advertised," giv ing date of advertising. John 0. Burton, P. M., Weldon, N. C. May 12, 1913. Cut Out the Waste. The high fire insurance rate in this state is due to the large fire waste. Cut out the waste, the risk is reduced, the fire loss is reduced and conse quently the insurance rate can be reduced. The companies opera ting in North Carolina last year paid out $1,896,606 in fire losses and made 5 per cent, clear above losses and expenses. All business firms are compelled 10 carry fire insurance, and if the fire loss can be reduced, they will save much money. Allow no breeding places on your premises for flies and mosquitoes.

Heiiutiful Tribute to This Ureal Southern tieiierul Uy a North ern Newspaper The New York World, always fair and ever ready to recognize trt:e worth, be it norih, south, east or west, Monday, May 5th, paid the following beautiful editorial tribute to Stonewall Jackson: "Fifty years ago Friday, May 2, ISti.l, there fell mortally wounded at Chaneellorsville one of the great captains of the English speaking races. Lee, who called Stonewall Jack son his strong right arm, once said he would have won Gettysburg if Jackson had been there. Be that as it may, the almost uninterrupted victories of the Army of Northern Virginia ended when Jackson pass ed away. Chaneellorsville marked the flooditde of the Confederate arms. Two months later came Gettysburg, and from thence on to Appomattox Lee's forces, despite all their marvelous courage and tenacity, were never again invinci ble. Jackson's place in military his tory is unique. Most great repu tations were made by long years of service. His career was compress ed into a scanty twenty-two months from that day in July, I8fil, when Lee pointed out to him "standing like a stone wall" at Bull Run, to the early May day ir, 1863 when he marched his corps around the from of Hooker's army, smashed in its right flank and gave the Con federacy its most brilliant victory, only to fall under the fire of his own men. A terrible partnership was that between the Cavalier and the Pur itan; between Lee, who embodied the chivalry of Virginia, and Jack son, who was a direct spiritual de scendant of the men that fought with Cromwell at Naseby. In all crises the two men seemed to light with a single brain and a single purpose, destitute alike of the jeal ousy and intrigue that all but wrecked the Army of the Potomac. Jackson presents a strange, ap pealing figure on the pages of his tory. He was as gentle and gra cious as Lee, as silent and tactiturn as Grant, as daring and audacious as Stuart or Sheridan, as relentless as Sherman, and with it all there was an intensity of religious fervor that belonged to the seventeenth century rather than the nineteenth. The war to him was a holy war. He went to battle with a prayer on his lips, and he went from battle to give thanks to God who had crown ed his army with victory Appealing from his native sod In forma pauperis to God, "Lay bare thine arm stretch forth thy rod, Amen !" That's Stonewall's way. Fven the bullets that struck him down he regarded as providentially directed by a definite, Divine pur pose. There is no more menda cious phrase than that of a "born soldier," but here was a man who was beyond question a born sol dier who hated war, who was daz zled neither by ambition nor glory, who fought for principle alone and whose military genius was elemen tal. Peace to his ashes. A united nation can be proud that he was numbered among her sons."

(Tune I Love to Tell the Story of Jesus and His Love.) I love to think of Mother, her voice so low and sweet, As she prayed that God would keep me, would guide my wandering feet Along life's rugged pathway, with its pitfalls and its snares I know that God is guiding, in an swer to her prayers. Chorus. I love to think of Mother And oh how much I love her. Though I roam the wide world over Her love will follow me. I love to think of Mother.the hymns she used to sing, I hear them now in fancy, in mem ory they still cling. Though years have swiftly glided, and now she's old and gray, Her love for me I'll cherish, keep green on Mother's Day. I love to think of Mother, her ten der love for me, When I, a wayward child, was thoughtless as could be; In sickness and in sorrow, she was so meek and mild, She's prayed the Lord to spare me, spare me, a wayward child. ENDORSED AT HOME. Such Prool as This Should Con vince Any Weldon Citizen. The public endorsement of a lo cal citizen is the best proof that can be produced. None better, none stronger can be produced. When a man comes forward and testifies to his fellow citizens, addresses his friends and neighbors, you may be sure he is thoroughly convinced or he would not do so. Telling one's experience when it is for the public good is an act of kindness that should be appreciated. The following statement given by a res ident of Weldon adds one more to the many cases of Home Endorse ment which are being published about Doan's Kidney Pills. Read it: J. T. D. Rawlings, Second St., Weldon, N. C, says: "You are welcome to use my name as a ref erence for the merits of Doan's Kidney Pills as I have tested this remedy and have found that it is reliable. I had backaches and pains through my kidneys and was bothered by irregular passages of the kidney secretions. I finally got Doan's Kidney Pills at Cohen's Drug Store and it was not long be fore they gave me entire relief." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
