As a nuiion we have had reasons for arming ourselves For ihe man who carries a gun on his hip there is no excuse. Fie is a public menace, a poten tial murderer. His cowardice he conceals with his pistol in his pock et. Our homicidal record of the past few years, an ugly record written in blood, serves to empha size the necessity of applying dis armament to the individual. This can be our one guarantee of domestic peace. If we would be secure in our persons if human life, now held too cheaply, shall be appraised ai its proper value the pistol-toting habit must be broken up. Competitive armament among nations is unjustifiable. It breeds wars. The world is coming to demand an end of it. But of more immediate concern to us right here at home is individ ual disarmament. Pistol-toting breeds death. WHEN YOU ARE OLD. What will you be doing in your old age? Will you be sitting on the front porch, stroking your white hair? Or will you be active, powerful, and a leader? This lat ter you may doubt, for the most of us have the false notion that old age means inactivity. If you have an idea of retiring at 60, consider these great exploits by old men: Titian executed his most famous painting when he was 98. Von Moltke was in full uniform when he was 88. Cornelius Vanderbilt did not be come a great railroad king until he was 70. At 88 he was the most active railroad man of his day. Socrates began studying music when he was 80. Pasteur discovered his hydro phobia cure after he was 65. Columbus, between 50 and 60, made his first voyage of discovery. Voltaire, Newton, Spencer, Tal leyrand and Thomas Jefferson all were active and in their intel lectual prime long after they were 80. When Galleo discovered the monthly and daily vibration of the moon, he was 73. The Earl of Haldsbury, 99 years old, is today the leader of the con servative party in the British house of lords, and is supervising the writing of a twenty-volume ency clopoedia of British law. There are tens of thousands of instances of men who did their best work in old age. The world is full of such men today. In our youth we grope rather blindly. Experience comes slow ly. With age comes wisdom real knowledge of life. Youth is usually too impulsive. Old age, remembering scalded fin gers, is conservative. The two, working together, making the hap py medium, the ideal combination. Nature can make your joints stiffen and your arteries hard, your hair white and your face lined with wrinkles. But your brain your real self can defy old age. Train your brain. Learn to think straight, if you would make old age the most enjoyable and the most useful period of your life. REAL COURAQE. Covernor Edwin P. Morrow, of Kentucky, has pardoned a prison er, found that he had made a mis-tsr-.s, and frankly admitted it. "1 made a mistake and I tin sor ry," he announced in a statement to the people of Kentucky. "lam so sorry that the mistake will be to me a substantial and abiding les son." To err is human; to admit error is courageous, and for a public offi cial it is almost heroic. Hall's Catarrh Medicine Those who are in a "tun down" con dition will notice that Catarrh botheri them much more than when they are in good health. This fact proven that while tatarni is a local disease, it is greatly influenced by constitutional oonditiouH.

He said: "The greatest fact that we know anything about is li.'J. The next greatest fact is Man. Clod and Man are facts; they cannot be ; denied. And the relation of (iud to Man is the greatest problem that faces tlie human race today." ! This is a very simple creed and yet a very big one. It is so simple thai all of us Jews and Gentiles, I Catholics and Protestants alike ; may unite upon it And it is so big that it will require the best ef forts of any ot us to comprehend it and live un to it. X'e h ive different new points, we do not ill see tilings alike. The things hk h seem important to one may seem irivt il to another. But all ol its re.ni.c certain lunda menial lacis and know certain fun damental ll'Ulllv The mm who I'elieves in (iod and the man who viys lie does nut believe in (i id id's an untruth! must senle Ins account wnh ins (iod iii liis uwn way. No one else can senile for him. And the man who is honestly trying to syuare that account will have a great deal of love and sym pathy for other men who are try ing to do the same thing, even if their methods differ somewhat from his own. SOME OF THE BEST THINGS. A wriier in one of he current magazines enumerates some of the best things to be had. For in stance : The best law The golden rule. The best education Self-knowledge. The best philosophy A con tented mind. ; The best medicine Cheerful ness and temperance. The best music The laughter of a little child. The best war The fight against one's own weakness. The besi science Extracting sunshine from a cloudy day. .The best art Painting a smile upon the face of a child. The best telegraphy Flashing a ray of sunshine into a gloomy heart. The best biography The life that writes charity in the largest letters. The best mathematics Multiply ing the joys and dividing the sorrows of others. There are other best things, of course, but these are some of the best things of life and they are within the reach of all of us who want them. And how much bet ter off we would all be if we would strive for these things every day. Now that ihe tariff on fossils is to be removed, why not be happy? It would be well, too, if some screen stars were screened from the public. The British empire has Ireland, and the United States has West Virginia. Future wars, says a military ex pert, will be fought in the air. Well, peace is there now. It is very clear that somebody will have to eai crow before the dove of peace returns to Ireland. There will be more trouble, too, when the salaried people of this country organize and demand fair wages. We are no longer in a stale of war, nor are we in a state of peace. Our trouble seems to be a state of nerves. Cole Blease says he does not hanker after any more political jobs. Oh, let's make him take something. Children may become more popular if Congress give income tax payers an exemption of $400 apiece for them. Another difficulty about redu cing the number of federal employ ees is that most of them have po litical influence. Americanism is good doctrine but it doesn't always set well when preached by a man who talks with a foreign accent Mr. Harding seems to enjoy being president. At any rate he always smiles when he is having his picture taken. ROBERT QuiLLEN defines hard times as a season during which it is difficult to borrow money to buy things you don't need. Russia sowed the wind and has reaped the whiriwind. And has found out that whirlwind is a very poor substitute for food. Japan apparently decided to send delegates to the armament conference rather ran run the risk of being disarmed by force. i Lest You Forget Let ua remind you that Chamberlain's Tablets not only cause a gentle move ment of the bowels but improve the ap petite and strengthen the digestion.

Pearson and Miss Maggie Hcrrin. Mr. J. H. Mills, superintendent of the Baptist orphanage, lectured in the Baptist church last week. Mr. J. J. Loekhart, of this place, who has been a tow student for the past year, stood an excellent exam ination before the Supreme court last week, and received license to practice as an attorney and coun selor ai law. ".ii On Monday Dr. C. J. (ice re ceived a telegram from Oxford asking if it were true that Dr. I. I:, (ireen had yellow fever There has been no symptom of yellow fe ver within 200 miles of Weldon. Dr. Green has been ill two months with malarial fever. Messrs. M. C. Spiers and C. L. Clark, two go-ahead young men have formed a mercantile co part nership and rented the store next door to the brick store in the bot tom. Rev. W. B. Morton returned home last week and was warmly welcomed by his numerous friends. I Miss Annie H. Cohen, of lin I Held, passed through here last week on her way to enter the Suf folk Female Institute. Last week two negroes on their way home from South Carolina sat down on the railroad to rest about one mile from Enfield and, as usual, went to sleep, and slept until the noise of a coming train awoke them. One escaped unin jured, ihe oilier whose name was Johnston, was knocked off and was badly bruised, his fool and ankle was so badly crushed that it had to be amputated. Mr. W. M. Cohen, of F.nfield, passed through here Monday on his way to Baltimore to complete his course in pharmacy. The grim monster death has again invaded this community and taken away from the scenes of earth the form of one of our most prominent citizens. Mr. R. W. Daniel was born in Northampton county on the 4th day of June, 1827, and died on the 22nd inst. , aged 61 years, three months and eighteen days. He came to Wel don to live in 1 853 at the age of 26 years and four years later he began business for himself. He was buried in the cemetery Sunday afternoon, from the Baptist church, the Rev. W. B Morton, officia ting. A OLOOMY PROSPECT. A town that never has anything to do in a public way is on the way to the cemetery. Any citizen who will not do something for a town is helping dig ihe grave. A man that "cusses" the town furnishes the coffin. The man who is so selfish as have no time from his business to give affairs is making the shroud. The man who will not advertise is driving the hearse. The man who is always pulling back from any public enterprise throws bouquets on the grave. I he stingy man who is always howling hard limes preaches the funeral and sings the doxology. And thus the town lies buried from all sorrow and care. L;x. A Qrateful Letter. It is in trying conditions like that re lated below by Mrs. (ieo. 1.. North, of Naoles, N. Y., that proves the worth of liamberlain s folic and Diarrhoea Hemedy. "Two yearsatro last summer' slie says "Our boy had dysentery. At that time we were living in the cuuutry eight miles from a doctor. Our son waM taken ill suddenly and wan about the sickest child 1 ever saw. He was in terrible pain all the tium ami passed trom one convulion into another. 1 sent my husband for the doctor, and after he was irone thought of a buttle orchamherlaio a Colic anil liiairlmea Hemedy in the cupboard. I gave him some of it and he began to improve at once. Hy the tiuie the doctor arrived he was out of danger. Somr people, instead of cursing Henry Ford, might do well to study his business methods more closely. Not long ago he bought a railroad 240 miles long, and now he is asking permission to reduce freight and passenger fares on il Our prediction is that first class postage will not be increased to three cents. There are some things that the public tun will not stand for.

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH Sends Dentist to Halifax County (or Three Months to Do Dental Work (or White School Chil dren. Dr. J. 1). Muse, a well known and experienced dentist employed by ihe North Carolina State Board of Health, will begin work in Hal ifax county for ihe school children between the ages of 6 and 12 in clusive, for three months, begin ning October 3rd.

All children of the above ages can t be reached in the limned time ihe dentist has in the county is it would be impossible. The main feature of this work is edu cational and the good that will be accomplished in bringing ihe im portance of this work before the people that they may realize the need and importance of having them cared for, and defective teeth attended to during developing age. ood health and bright minds are necessary for children while they are grow ing for them to be suc cesses in life, and they must be free from defects of which teeth play such an important part. EMERY SCORES '2 PER CENTERS' ON IQNORINO FLAQ. After reviewing a parade in Cleveland, Ohio, recently in which the United States flag was carried, John G. Emery, national comman der of the American Legion, made staiemeni in which he scored the iwo-per cent. Americans" who fail to remove their hats when the colors are passing. ( EN URAL I'ERSHINO LAUDS LEOION. In an address formally opening the new quarters of the Holyoke, Mass., post of the American Le gion last week Gen. John J. Per shing complimented the Legion for not participating in politics. STRANtiE. IF TRUE. The following is from Mount Olive and is strange, indeed if true: A picture of an elderly man, with Hi ay hair and long gray beard, has recently appeared on a mirror in the home of Koscoe Garner, a Du plin fanner living near here, and cannot be erased. News of the stiange apparition has spread rap idly and has caused no end of spec ulation as to cause of its appear ance there. Hundreds from far and near have journeyed to the Garner home to satisfy their own curiosity about it. But the like ness remains. HOME BUILT FOR GOLD STAR MOTHER. The citizens of Evansville, Ind., have built a home and presented it to the mother of James B. Gresh am, one of ihe first three Ameri cans to die in the world war. Gre- sham was killed November 3, 1917, during the raid of a German patrol. i ne nero s body was brought to the United States re cently and the reburial took place last week under the auspices of the tvansville post of the American Legion.

M. for the ben efit of a needy family which lives in South Weldon. The father in this family has been paralyzed and is an epileptic. He is unfit men ially and physically to do any work. There are five children the oldest a slender little girl of eleven years. She is capable and bright and very domestic, two boys 9 and 8, an other girl and the baby three years old. The mother is industrious, neat and willing to work and does work ai picking cotton or in the mills when she can leave home. But how can a woman cook, wash and keep a home for seven people nurse an invalid husband and ihen find time to work for bread. The ladies have been helping her. Mr. Jenkins, the county officer has been appealed to, Mrs. Clarence Johnson, Commissioner of Public Welfare, has been written to, but all that can be obtained is an ap propriation of $10 per month from the county treasury. This pays her rem with a small surplus but we feel that with an approaching winter we must have ouiside help and lake this meihod of appealing to the public at large. Any "do nation will be acceptable from a bar of soap or spool of thread to a check or money in any amount. The contributions will be carefully given out lo ihe family and a com mittee will see that ihey are not wasted. Mrs. Johnson advises that ihe children be kept in school as a safeguard for the future hui to do this they must have clothing. Lei all who remember the words 'In as much as ye have done il to Ihe least of these" come or send a donation to this party. Mrs. S. B. Pierce, Mrs. D. R. Anderson, Mrs. Lee Johnson, Committee. YOUR POWER. Much has been said about ihe power of little things. Throw a bucket of water on a man's head and it won't hurt him. Bui let that water drop on his forehead, drop by drop, and he will go crazy. In olden times men were tortured to death in this manner. Many drops of water, running over rock or through a valley.have dug out the gully near your home or the deep channel of the grand canyon in Colorado. You can easily lift ten buckets of water, one by one. But pour these ten buckets of water into a barrel, and then try to lift the bar reland you may ruin your back for life. There is a lesson in this, about not burdening yourself with a peak load of work. You can do only so much at a time without straining yourself. t ne sensible thing to do is to distribute the load. You can carry the whole load with ease by di viding up but you must keep plugging away at it. Don't forget that. ' Notice Publication Of Summons, North Carolina, llalifux C'ouutv.
