SURE VICTORY.
Greater is he that is in you than
he that is in the world.— l John 4:4.
WHO HAS THE PRIVILEGE.
Recently a sermon was preached in
Pittsboro on the observance of the
Sabbath day. Following this The Re
cord had an editorial on the matter
and cast a few remarks about the prop
osition. Both of these events have
caused a good deal of comment, some
adversely and many favorably.
We have a friend, however, who has
talked with us on the subject in an
entirely different light from that
in which we viewed it. This man is
a member of the Seventh Day Ad
ventists. They observe our Saturday
as their Sunday because it is the
seventh day. This denomination has
an abundant scripture to bear up their
doctrine and beliefs.
Well, then, if these folks are devout
on our Saturday, observing it as Su -
day—the Seventh Day—as stated in
the commandment, what are they to,
do on Sunday, our Sabbath ? If they i
deprive themselves of privileges on •
Saturday, worshipping God, remaining |
at home, studying the Bible and ob
serving to the letter the injunctions of
the Scriptures while we enjoy every
opportunity of forking, buying, sell
ing, trading and trafficing, traveling,
what is to be their portion when their
Sunday—their Seventh Day, has been
exhausted.
If, within their hearts, they have
devoutly served God on our Saturday,
thev fe°i disposed to some retention
and privileges on the day following,
on our Sundav. Suppose they ,
should want a tank of gasoline, or
JiLtle smoidng tooacco or other neces
sities. perhaps enjoyment that we had
the day before.
This is indeed worthy of thought
and the greatest force that had been
made upon our minds in regard to the
matter of the privilege of the liberty
that should be given to everyone,
more especially the religious liberty
to which anyone and everyone is en
titled to under the Constitution of the
United States. We cannot legislate
religion into anyone, but the preach
ers of every denomination should be
forceful in telling folks the manner
in which they should observe the laws
of God. The laws of man are small
in comparison and are not equal to
the commandments issued to us.
SWEARS FALSELY.
Lester Pell, a confessed thief, who
recently entered the Lon.soiiuatt.ci
Mills, in Greensboro, and robbed it,
v*as given a hearing last week in
Greensboro. He implicated Arthur
Shipton, a 45-year-oid man, saying
that he had helped him rob the bulin
ing. Snipton was a watchman, at the
Mills. .
Now Pell says that he has sworn
falsely against Shipton and that be
iiaa natiiiiig to do with the robbery.
He further asserts that William Lind
say, who is secretary oi the Mills;
had induced hirn to teil that Shipton
was in the thieving with him ana that
he would get oli tighter by by doing
so.
thus w r e have an example of swear
ing falsely and the incident came very
near costing Shipton a five-year term
on the roads of Guilford county. Not
only was the reprobate mean enough
to do this but he has gone rurther an.,
stated that Mr. Lildsay did do so and
the two of them are guilty of a very
violent breach against society.
It is not sale lor anyone now to
trust to the good fortunes of better
living even. Some unscrupulous re
probate is likely to encourage an igno
rant, worthless rogue to swear awa;*
your good name in a very few min
utes.
The judge presiding and the solicit
or have both e\pressed the belief that
Pell should be given an additional sen
twice for his vicious sin.
CONTINUITY IN ADVERTISING.
Some eastern railway executives are
publishing financial statistics over
their names as railroad presidents.
Public utilities advertise more intel
ligently and more continuously and
as a result people buy their securities
and the values of gas, electric light
power ci*id traction properties are be
coming prosperous.
There must be continuity in pub
licity. Keeping the public informed
Is a continuous job, as many move
away or die and new ones take their
places. In dealing with the public,
u«e language the public can under
stand.
Railroads and public utilities can
not expect to advertise in flush times
and live on the memory of it when
they are hard up. They can’t expect
to advertise when they are in trouble
or about to kick the bucket and expect
to get anything in that direction.
Look here! If the officers of Crav
en county keep on destroying stills,
where are the people going to get
their egg nog liquor Christmas?
The ministers in Wilson county
have found out that it pays to adver
tise. That’s nothnig. People in any
kind of business have long si ce
known that. |
PUBLIC ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
Friends, it is impossible to ac
knowledge every letter that we have
received within the past few days in
regard to giving us moral and finan
cial support in the attack made on us,
and w r e can’t print all of them. How
ever, we want to say that we highly
appreciate them and the verbal mes
sages that have been given us, as wqjl
as those who have communicated with
us otherwise. We thank you, one and
all, from the bottom of our heart.
Civil war is raging in Germany. It
looks as if those people would' get
enough of war some time.
Strange things happen to people. A
man driving a car near Mt. Airy came
near having a serious accident the
other day. His hat blew off and grab
bing for it he lost cortrol cf the wheel
and the car ran into a deep ditch.

FAIRS AND PRINCIPAL SPEAKER j
Raleigh Times. * 1
William Gibbs McAdoo, it appears, <
has refused the invitation of Kinston !
co “Kum Kum” to its Fair. J
Os course he wanted to come. They J
all do; but of the many who are called <
to grace a Fair few choose to report .
in person. Regrets, regards and best “
washes cost nothing; reporting for
duty requires some effort. $
But long after it has been pretty *
well established that the big gun re- |
quistioned will not report such part £
of the public as interested in speeches !|
—and there are far too many when J;
one considers the quality of the pro- )j
duct put out for their consumption— ]!
is still led to believe that Senator-So- j!
and So or General What’s His Name,
will lead the procession and hold forth ij
from the grand stand. !]
Very ordinary bunk, this. It isn’t J
honest; it isn’t decent. But really it ;
makes little difference because the av- <
erage speech at a Fair were better !
left to home or near-home talent, any- 1
how. !
- A Fair-going crowd is good-natured. J
Most of them aren’t going to hear a «
speech. Most of them are out for re- <
laxation pure and simple. But such as !
are seriously intent on the bull can \
go see an Ayrshire, Hereford or Polled J
Angus and receive greater benefit «
than from hearing a well-advertised ■
