Governor Cameron Morrison on Monday formally called ihe General Assembly of Nonh Caro lina to convene in special session at eleven o'clock December 6, 10 make provision for a deficit of $700,000 in the school funds of the State and 10 correct an error in the Municipal Finance Act by rea son of which it was declared un constitutional by the North Caro lina Supreme Court, handicapping virtually all the cities of the State in their financial policies. IP THAT'S ANY COMFORT. If 1 had been young and pretty the jury wouldn't have done this," wailed Mrs. Dora Waterman, of Chicago, 41 years old, when she was sentenced to prison for seven teen years for killing her husband. The story goes that Mrs. Waier man lost her temper when her husband came home drunk and proceedod to chope him to death with an axe. The man who marries a plain featured woman may not be any safer than one who marries a pret ty one, as a New York editor puis it, but he stands a betier chance of having his death avenged if she kills him. Which is someihing to think about at any rate. SOME WAR FIGURES David F. Houston, former sec retary of the treasury, is authori ty for the statement that since the foundation of our government we have spent in round numbers sixty-seven billion dollars, and of this fifty-eight billions went for wars that is, for the army and navyland their auxiliaries and for pensions and on the public debt.1 And yet we claim to be an en lightened, a civilized, a peaceful and Christian naiion. The figures indicate that we have been a nation of hypocrites We have not been living up to our profession. Maybe, though if we of this gen eration give the figures the thoughi (hat we ought to give them, we will begin to do better. It has not been necessary in the past to spend so much money on war purposes, and it will not be necessary in the future. OUR EX-SOLDIERS. The Bible tells us that God loves the man who though to his loss has sworn, will not break his plighted word. Men respect such a man when they find him. All men do not speak the truth, but all men respect the man who who does speak the truth, and while it is not uncommon for men to tol erate a man who does not speak the truth, such a man never enjoys the real confidence even of his friends. The promises that the people of the country made to the soldiers of the World War are still fresh in the minds ol the soldiers and of ihe people who made the promises. One of the most important of these promises was to the effect that the soldier should have pret ence over the man who was not a soldier. There are people who sincerely try to live up to this promise and there are thousands who have for gotten all about it. Nobody sees or understands (his thing more clearly than the ex-soldier himself, and while as a rule he does not ask any special con sideration on account of service rendered, he cannot help taking note of the difference between promise and performance. People who were so earnest in their promises of undying grati tude to the soldiers could make no better invesimem than to try to live up (o (heir promises. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER S OASTORIA VOTES AND ALIMONY. There are penalties as well as privileges attached to the ballot. A man in Minnesota is su ing his wife for support and ali mony. Ii is the first lime ihe is sue has been raised in ihjt Slate. The judge is thinking it over. In English and American law, alimony is taken to mean payment by the husband to the wife on the assumption that the husband is ihe earner. But it does happen ihat a wo man, lired of a man for any one of a wide variety of reasons, is willing to pay him to take himself off. The price of the blessed relief may come highly but she feels that to be rul of the worthless fellow is wonh the price. Ii is nm dear to ihe lay mind why ii wi Mian, because she vote, has tqu.il right's anil is .1 citizen, is bound lo assume the obligations tif a bre.nl winner fur her husband, The l.i y initnl h is nut been accus tomed to the woman being all these things. The decision of the Miiinesiiia judge may shed lighi on ihe prob lem. THE QUEST FOR GOLD. Canadian Indians recently brought word from ihe far north of a river of gold, with the inevitable result that a rush of prospectors has started northward. Nut all of those who joined the California gold rush in '49 struck ii rich, and many of those who wer.t to Alaska on the same quest suffered privation and want only to come back einpiy handed and broken hearted. Noi a few died without seeing the glitter of gold. Men have been hunting gold since the dawn of history, yet only a few thousand tons of ihe precious metal ire on the earth's surface to day. Not one in a hundred of the seekers ever find the gold board. The truth is thai real gold mines are not in far off places, but right here at home, where are opportu nities by far ihan those to be en countered in passing streams in strange lands for money making. Only, too many of us cast aside as worthless the real fortunes at hand, or to be made ai home, to follow the lure that turns out to be but a mirage. THE NEW WHEAT. Seager X heeler, Canada's wheal wizard, gets $30 a bushel for Ear ly Triumph, his new variety of seed wheat Ii ripens ten duys earlier than any other wheal and yields eight to ten more bushels to the acre. This helps all farmers, by in creasing their possible profits. It also moves the wheat belt 100 miles farther north and puis mil lions of new acres under cultiva tion. Wheeler, on his Sashkatchewan farm, has a wheat production rec ord of 82 bushels per acre. In in ternational expositions he has won the world's championship five times. Men like Wheeler and Luther Burbank will be the ouistanding figures of our lime when a really civilized posterity rewrites history and puts wars, kaisers and Faity Arbuckles where they belong on a back seal. The dinner pail will be the really important thing when the United States becomes as thickly settled as China or some pans of Europe. SPEAKINO OF CHILDREN. Last week a mother in Tacoma, Wash., gave birth to her sixteenth child. Her husband works in a shipyard She said Ihat having sixteen children carried no conse quences to be feared. The other children helped with the younger ones. Children, in other words, if you have enough of them, get so num erous ihat i lie y can lake care of iheniselves. This is Emerson's philosophy applied to the home. For every action, Emerson said, (here is a corresponding reaction. Lite moves in circles. In ihe case of Mrs. Sehaeffer, of Tacoma, (he compensating thing about a large number of children is that they could be used. This modern instance of the large family explains, of course, why our grandmothers could bear seven and our greaigrandmoihers fourteen children. The thing takes care of itself and isn't such a stunt, after all. Still, (hose who hasten to emu late Mrs. Shaeffer will probably be few in number. There may be compensations in making a small village of one's family, but most modern women will prefer two or three children to sixteen, even with compensations. How strange is human nature. Some men will not only buy liquor from a blind tiger but they will brag about it afterward. There is plenty of work. The trouble is that too many men are demanding eight dollars a day to fill four-dollar jobs. OLD WELDON. Things That Happened 33 Years Ago in Town and Vicinity. Oct. 25, 1 888. -We were glad to see Brother Foote, of the War renion Gazette, in our office last week. Miss Kate Taylor Prescott, who has been visiting relatives and friends in Lynchburg and Wash ington, returned home Saturday last. Mr. A.

R. fell dead on the engine Wednesday between Whitakers and Enfield. Ashe fell dipt. Lawther, the engi neer, caught him in his arms. November 8, 1888. A letter came to the posioffke the other day addressed io "Dear Cousin Martha Johnson." Miss Sallie Price and Miss Annie Thomas, who have been visiting Rev. B. B. Culbreth's family, has returned to their home in Toisnot. Celie Hawkins, an old colored woman was found dead in the wood, near Mr. Piitards, in this county, on Monday of last week. She was supposed to have been dead four or five days when found. On Thursday morning last Jen kie Clements, colored, attempted to jump on the train after it had moved from the shed for the fair grounds. His foot caught in a frog and threw him down, his arm falling on the rail in front of a wheel, which passed over it and crushed it so that t he arm had to be taken off a little below the elbow and the operation was performed by Drs. A. R. and D. B. Zollicof fer and A. B. Pierce. The mail train from Portsmouih ran over and instantly killed a well known white man named Alph Harding, of Northampton county, last Thursday. The train was about five miles this side of Sea board, running at a rapid rate of speed, when the man was seen to step upon the track and crouch down with his head down toward the engine, before the train could be stopped the engine had rushed upon him and ground him into a thousand fragments. When the (rain was stopped scarcely a mem ber of his body could be found. He was well known in Weldon. MARSHALL FOR PRESIDENT. Former United States Senator J. Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois, who attended the Democratic national committee meeting at Washington last week, said the fight between the McAdoo and Cox contingents for chairmanship was as profitless as a "mutiny in an army preparing for war over ihe selection of a drill sergeant for dress parade." He said the conflict between the McAdoo and Cox forces over the organization would make former Vice Presideni Thonm R. Mar shall (he nominee for President in 1924. There are a whole lot of people alasl who think we never have good goverment unless they are elected to office. V vj; V NMMMtml tun i SOUTHERN AGRICULTURIST, NASHVILLE, TENN.

CRIT DICKENS. 1 In ihe 48ih year of herage.Mrs. E" Crii Dickens passed away at her home near Darlington School, Halifax county, on October 27, 1921 She w as the eldest daughter of the late Junius H. Barham, a brave Confederate soldier, and his wife, Laura R. Barham, nee Collier. She is survived by her grief-strick en nusnano, Mr. r.. t.,ru uiCKens, two Nisiers, Mrs. T. E. Radcliff, of Raleigh, Mrs. W. D. Dickens, Halifax, and two brothers, Jos. W. Barham, Portsmouth, Va., and John A Barham, of Lynch burg. A number of oilier relatives and friends in Virginia and North Car olina mourn the death of this good woman, who was laid to rest in Cedarwood cemetery, in Weldon, surrounded by a large number of sorrowing friends and near rela tives. The floral offerings were many and beautiful, attesting the love and esteem of ihose who knew her best for, truly, "to know her was to love her." For thirty years the writer has known this beautiful Christian character, and this tribute is gladly and lovingly given: That she was one of the lew observed in all those years who lived the golden rule every day. Quiet and unassuming no needy person ever sought her aid in vain her greatest concern being the comfort and pleasure of others. A thoroughly consecrated Chris tian, she was always in her place at church, when her health permitted, and although a great sufferer no word of complaint escaped her lips. She "fought the good fighi and kept the faith" and has gone home to be with God. We who are left have a goodly heritage in the sweet memories of her Godly life, and may we, too, be led to Him. "Tltou liat trune tQ the irrave Hiit we will nut deplore thee. Though darkueHs and ahadowa encircle thy tomb, The Saviour lias paHaed through the portals before thee And the lamp of hia love ia thy guide through the gloom." A Friend. Some of these infant republics in Europe have not yet cut their wisdom teeth. WEAK BLOOD IS A REAL BARRIER Growing Children Often Need Gude's Pepto Mangan. Some children grow too quick ly it sups their strength. They lapsn into careless, desultory habits, or develop a shrinking attitude. Their faces look pinched. The Mood beconiss overtaxed by too rapid growth; and pois ons from the system take the place of Htrangth-giving red corpuscles in the blood. Red corpuscles are thoae little red particles that swim in the blood and give it its color. Gradual ly that child loses interest in its play. Poor Mood needs the building that the iron in Uude's 1'cpto Mangan gives to weakened blood, '(tide's Pejto-Mn!ij;r!n enriches the lilood by increas ing the manlier of red corpus cles, and restores tUo blood by driving out the poisons. When tho revived blood gets to work, the appetite becomes what a growing child's should be. Your druggist has Gude's Pep-to-Mangan in liquid or tablet form. The name "Gude's Pep to Mangan" is on every paek. age. Adv. CASCm$ QUININE 1H aafTMM vMltwt lttrn Na tmi atar HI art. Haft mi tifnMh Dtmtmj ni jn hwrtaa.

"It is well for us at limes, to turn away from thoughts of war, of fields of carnage, of blood-flecked seas, to the calmer scenes and ac tivities of life. "Little kindnesses" we have as the text of our three minutes stray ing from the beaten path of belig erent editorializing. How it is the little things of life which make it worth the living the kind word in the home, the shoulder at the wheel when the horse stalls, the timely hand-clasp when the world goes dark, the cup of cold water in a thirsty land! What would existence be without ihem? We wonder at limes if it is not often, or generally the failure io realize the prime importance of the little things of life, the little courtesies, the little ameniiies in the home, which make shipwreck of so many careers, breaks the golden circle of the fireside, and sends husband or wife, boy or girl beyond the reach of restraining in fluence, We cannot then, too strongly stress the importance of the "little kindnesses", acts so small in them selves, that they are hardly remem bered from day to day, but which have eternal influence in the shap ing of some life." What need to look at little things, When objects all around, Enlist the eye at every turn With those much more profound?" Yet mites 'lis said compose the world As little grains of sand, United make a mountain strong That through all times will stand. A tiny word of slight import Sometimes more trouble brings, A maiden hides her grief of heart "Is saddest when she sings." Oh! could we know just how to act What means we'd best employ To comfort those we meet in life And give them greatest joy. This truth we know is all too sad We pass no more this way, Oh! may we then more thoughtful be Of all we do and say. Let little words our tongues employ Of fondest love and cheer, A deed of kindness ever give Dispel arising tear. Then always heed the little things The sweet that joys impart, Affections' word of lender love That wells up from the heart. Of all the gifts we can bestow The little acts of love, Worth more by far, than gifts of earth They reach to Heaven above. Weldon, N. C. Feb. 24, 1917. J. B. T.

CALOMEL SALIVATES EVEN WHEN CAREFUL Treacherous Drug can not be Truated and Next Dose May Start Trouble. Calomel is dangerous. It may salivate you and make you suffer fearfully from soreness of gums, tenderness of jaws and teeih, swol len tongue, and excessive saliva dribbling from the mouth. Don't trust calomel. It is mercury; quick silver. If you feel bilious, headachy, constipated and all knocked out just go lo your druggist and get a bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cents which is a harmless vegetable substiiute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't siart your liver and straight en you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without making you sick, you just go back and get your money. If you take calomel today you'll be sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides, it may salivate you, while if you take Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great. No salts necessary. Give it io the chil dren because ii is perfectly harm less and can not salivate. WELDON METHODIST CHURCH "Watch Methodism Grow in Weldon." Sunday, November 13, 1921 9:45 A. M.
