O = The Foundation of Happiness Neglected (The Monroe Journal) Mr. Tom Bost, the Raleigh corres pondent of »the Greensboro News, who is an ordained minister, does most of his preaching in the shape of a Sunday sermon in the paper each week. In his last Sunday’s sermon he says that one may look out upon the vast starry firmament and feel himself sink into insignificance, while another may so look and find con tentment. It is a matter of tempera ment. \ And so it is, not only in this, but in all matters. That is why the foun dation for happiness is so little devel ed in our preaching, in our schools, and in our manner of life. We have so far abandoned the contemplative and the philosophical attitude that transient pleasure is substituted for happiness. We are becoming to de pend wholly upon the objective, whereas the finest satisfaction in life has always been found in the proper correlation of the objective with the subjective. Is temperament, then, to be ac quired? Not altogether, but certainly our educational and determining in fluences should be expected to take note of the fact that as a man think eth in his heart so is he. If succeed ing generations are taught that hap piness comes through having and moving rather than through being and feeling, we are bound finally to lose all semblance of happiness and be given over to a childhood grasping at baubles. ' -Temperament may not be acquired ! but temper can be, and that is exact ly what is lacking in the present scheme of things. Ease, not temper, ' is the modern goal. Were there any- ’ thing in our attitude today calculated to impart temper and to develop fiber 1 in our youth,- lack of an equitable temperament in the’ individual would tend to be remedied. Not only is a man what he thinketh in his heart, but to him all the outer world is what he thinks it is. If, therefore, one would see a beautiful world he must ‘hold up a mirror which : reflects beauty. $ Accused Slayers Are Not Admitted Bail (Monroe Enquirer) Fred Beal, who is charged with in citing the murder of Gastonia offi cers, was taken from the Monroe jail last Friday to Charlotte where he and other prisoners had a hearing. Following a hard-fought contest which began at 10 a. m., and ended about 1:20 p. m., Judge W. F. Hold ing, in Mecklenburg Superior Court, in a habeas corpus proceeding brought by Tom P. Jimison to secure the release of strikers held on charges of assault with deadly weapons with intent to kill and with murder, this afternoon admitted six to bail in the sum of $2,Q00 ' each. These were J. R. Pittman, Mrs. Clarence Miller, Horace Lloyd, Carolina Drew, Bertha Crawford and Clarence Miller. States attorneys had asked for bail in the sum of $2,500 and the attorney for the strikers had asked thfat it be made $250. •.Ten others, including Beal, all charged with murder, were ordered held without bail until the resump tion of the habeas corpus hearing which was set by Judge Harding for X 2. p’clock Tuesday morning. This continuance was granted by Judge Harding in order that state’s attor neys might have ample time in which to assemble and present their evi dence to show -that these ten should not be admitted to bail. These ten, held without bail, are Fred Erwin Beat, Vera Bush, George W. Carter, Joseph Harrison, Lewis McLouglin, Sophie Melvin, K. O. Byers, K. Y. Hendricks, W. M. Mc- Ginnas, Russell Knight and Amy Schechter. : <s> — Lightning struck: the chimney of the J. R. Blair residence in Pittsboro Monday afternoon, but did no dam age except to the chimney. —e ASBURY NEWS Miss Estelle Johnson left Sunday for Cullowhee, N* C., to attend sum mer school. Mrs. J. W. Johnson has been quite sick but is now improving. Mr. L. D; Johnson and family motored over to Goldston Sunday afternoon to see Mrs. Sam Moffitt who is very sick. Miss Virginia Johnson is quite sick since having tonsils removed last Tuesday. Rev. Chapin preached a fine ser mon at Asbury church last Sunday. There was a children’s day pro gram at Farmville last Sunday night. *************** * * ’“Brown’s Chapel News* *************** The quarterly conference of this charge was to be held at Brown s last Saturday. Presiding Elder Cade drove from Durham despite the ram, but so few were present that the conference could not be held. It was decided to hold the business ses sion at Pittsboro Wednesday after noon when Brother Cade should reach that town on his way home from Durham, where he has been attending the pastors’ training school. Since having him with us at Sun day school and hearing fine sermon Sunday morning, we readily see why the conference should appoint him presiding elder despite his being so young in the ministry. He graduated from Trinity in the spring of 1913. We feel that his visit and his sermon and talk to the Sunday school should do us all much good. He made a wonderful impression upon us all. One man recently came like a real man and cleared himself (which was no trouble) of having anything to do with the mischief wrought at some vacant houses, mentioned in last week’s > news letter. He expressed himself as willing in all ways to help protect such property and would not uphold his own blood in such mean ness. Such mischief has been going on for some time in vacant houses on highway 93. We were glad to have Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Lindsay out last Sunday with their new son. Who knows but one day be may be a preacher, or even a presiding elder. Mr. O. D. Bane of Greensboro spent part of last week with his sister Mrs. Z. L. Dark. Many visits are made between neighbors, but only visits from those at a distance or to some distant points are mentioned in these news letters. Mr. R. F. Henderson had a fine cow killed by lightning last Saturday evening. His house was also set on fire, but it was soon put out, and ' without serious damage to the build ing. Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Sturdivant of Cary spent a short time with the latter’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Mann, last week. Little Milton Perry, son of Mr. J. J. Perry, who has been attending the institution for the blind in Ral eigh, is at home and was an appreci ative attendant at church last Sun day. Milton is a member of Brown’s Chapel, of which fact we are all proud. A goodly number from this section are availing themselves of the ty phoid vaccinaiton being given by Drs. Chapin and Mcßane. Mrs. J. W. Dark lost about a hun dred broiler-size chickens last week, supposedly from some bad food. We regret that our whole mem bership was not out to hear our elder last Sunday. When we all get what he preaches, our pastor will not have to go up with a bad report at conference. e Mrs. Eugenia Hearne Passes at Age of 81 1,1 ■ $“ ” ■ One of the oldest and most re spected ladies of Chatham has gone with the passing of Mrs. Eugenia Hearne, who died Friday evening at her home near Bynum, at the age of eighty-one. She was before marriage Miss Eugenia Haithcock, one of the six Haithcock sisters reared in the old home near the Pittsboro Presbyter ian church. The only surviving sister is Mrs. Alice Hatch of Charlotte. Mrs. Hearne’s husband was the late William Hearne. To them were born sixteen children, the following of whom survive: W. H. and T. J. of Bynum, G. A. of Chapel Hill, J. M. :f Macon, Ga., Miss Clara, notable eacher of Roanoke, N. C., Miss Mar tha at home, Mrs. Annie Ferguson of Burlington, Mrs. W. S. Andrews, of West Durham, Mrs. K. H. Hackney, of Bynum, Mrs. W. L. Smith, Bynum, Mrs. Lloyd Riggsbee of Bynum. Five daughters are dead. - 'The burial was at Hank’s Chapel Saturday afternoon, the funeral ser vices being conducted by Revs. J. A. Dailey, J. Fulton Johnson, and A. E. Brown. She was laid to rest by the side of her husband, who was a mem ber of the Hanks Chapel congrega tion. Mrs. Hearne herself was a mem ber of the Pittsboro Methodist church. All the living children were pre sent for the funeral, and a host of friends-and relatives. A group of Miss Clara Hearne’s Roanoke Rapid friends came with her for the obse quies. A good woman has gone. —® 100 OPERATIONS <£■— 1 One hundred children, underwent operations for adenoid and tonsil troubles at the clinic held here last week. N Many of them received op erations without cost, while those who paid were charged only $12.50 per child. That is the way to give all the people a chance in the world. The state can do some things better than can individuals. —® SEEKING A PARDON < FOR W. H. LAWRENCE News from Durham is to the effect that petitions for the pardon of W. H. Lawrence for the killing of Mrs. Terry are being circulated and freely signed in Durham. €> THANKS $ I want to thank the health com mittee of the Parent-Teacher Associ j ation and also the members of the P.-T.

ATTENTION, FOLK It is desired by the town council that drivers keep off the middle of the streets recently soiled in prep paration for hardsurfacing. It is necessary to have the sides of the streets packed before the stone and tar is laid. Driving in the center of the street is wearing the crown down and leaving the sides unpacked. By "every driver heeding this suggestion the shape of the street can be better preserved and the surfacing put down at an earlier date. <g> BIDS FOR STREET WORK Sealed proposals will be received by the Board of Town Commissioners of the Town of Pittsboro, N.

At that time, under the city’s ruler, Duchess Maria, arrangements were made to put a golden crown studded with jewels on the head of a statue of the Blessed Virgin, under whose protection Mantua had officially been placed. But because of disturbed times the ceremony did not take place. A second attempt was made a couple of centuries later and every thing was ready when Napoleon’s army overran the town and his sold iers carried off the crown. Finally another subscription was taken up for the crown, and it has at last been placed on the head of the statue, which waited nearly 300 years. —The Pathfinder. <S> Some people are like a boy’s rock ing horse; full of motion and tio progress.

PROTECT HOM'E MARKETS WITH FOREIGN PATENTS “In the strategic bag of tricks to meet foreign competition,” writes H. A. Toulmin, Jr., in Forbes Magazine, “ the shrewd executive will find foreign patent protection a most powerful trade weapon. Not only in the strategy of foreign competition must such a weapon be employed, but it must also be relied upon, strange to say, in protecting home markets. “Foreign cartels; cheap foreign labor; co-operative foreign trade agreements; the favorable move ments of foreign exchanges; the in flexibility of our own tariff; the best laboratory work of foreign schools and technologists constantly develop ing substitute synthetics; these are only a few of the factors in the war for our domestic as well as foreign trade. “With such advantages capably handled by competition from abroad or fabricated products may be sold at ruinous prices in our markets. “Alert foreign manufacturers mo nopolize United States markets by using United States patents laws. They secure United States patents ufider protection of our government.” Foreign patents, according ; to the Writer, have these advantages as a competitive weapon: '< • v 1. To monopolize foreign competition at itsv source. 2. To form the basis for inter locking commercial agreements for the division of territory on the basis of the patents owned. 3. To pool foreign patents with foreign competitors and exchang ing licenses. 4. To pool foreign patents for mutual defense and offense against com mon competition. 5. To prevent dumping of cheap goods in the United States from foreign sources. 6. To act as a substitute for trade protection instead of an inflexible tariff. 7. To insure freedom of export so that goods may be shipped freely into any country in the world without being tied up by patent litigation unexpectedly in foreign countries. 8. To secure profitable sources of income from abroad by extending licenses to foreign concerns, thereby' deriving an income with out the expense of foreign trade development. $ The missionary approaches the can nibal chief. “This is 'a nice day, isn’t it,” he said, smiling: “Yes,” said the chief, yawning, “but- it gets rather monotonous hav ing a preacher every day for dinner. —The Pathfinder.

Norwood, on Bear Creek, route 2, after an extended illness with kidney trouble. He came very near dying about 3 months ago, but survived this attack, though a re-occuring attack was too severe for his weakened condition.
