Dick says he didn’t know he had so many friends till he got sick. He is especially grateful to the ladies who have furnished him with delica cies during his illness, and desires to say to the colored readers of The Record that politeness and obedience does not hurt any one, but. on the contrary, may do any one much good when he needs a friend. - The granddaddy has received an nouncement of the birth of Mr. and Mrs. F.

Hoover Prosperity The following letter from Mr. S P. Teague, the father of three of the state’s educators, should interest i all readers. The editor’s remi -1 niscences last week, cn the occasion of the 85th anniversary of his mar . riage, set Mr. Teague to thinking. ■ His contrast between the “Cleve land panic” and “Hoover prosperity” will tickle the ribs of those who * have heard Republicans harp on the ■ former. The letter follows: , “Editor Record: . i “I see you tell how things were when you began to keep house 35 i years ago. I used to hear a lot (about the Cleveland panic. During , j that period my wife went to the ■ Alliance store and bought 100 yards j of cloth for $4.00 and made clothes ; for our large family of children. . j “I got four yards of Salem jeans ; for $2.40 to make my first overcoat. Now, I want some of my readers to tell me how much of the same ■ kind of cloth they can buy for $4.00 during Hoover prosperity. “I should like to be in the legis lature with 99 farmers, one lawyer, and twenty women. My first act would be to cut our own salary from ten dollars a day to six. They usually get pay for 70 days; they get pay for Sundays, which ought not to be. “My next move would be to cut the salaries of every teacher in the State $lO a month. I don’t know how many teachers there are in the State, but Guilford has 300 and j that would be a cut of $3,000 a • month, or $24,000 for eight months. I have some sons who are getting S3OO a month, and they ain’t worth that much. That would buy 300 1 bushels of corn. Nor is it worth J 700 bushels of corn to go to the | legislature for a Jittle over two {months in the winter time, j “The president gets $75,000 sal ary and $25,000 for expenses, and $117,000 for clerk hire and upkeep of the white house—s2l7,ooo in all. Or $6,000 a day. I wish some poor widow with a houseful of children could get $6,000 a dav for a month. S. P. TEAGUE. Siler City, Jan. 20, 1930. HIGH SUGAR TARIFF DEFEATED IN SENATE —<s> — After weeks of debate and wire pulling the United State senate last Thursday reached a vote on the sugar tariff and by a Substantial majority adopted the amendment offered by Senator Harrison, Demo crat, of Mississippi which retains the present schedule on sugar. This defeated the old guard Republican prgram which would almost have doubled the present rate. Both Senators Overman and Simmons helped in the fight and voted for the low tariff on sugar. Shellfish Long Food In northern Africa, shell heaps have been found dating back 25,0(H) years; in Denmark, 10,000 years, and in Great Britain, over 5,000 years. All the way up the Atlantic coast from Florida, traces of shell heaps have been found in great numbers, and those engaged in research work have ascertained i that these heaps exist along the coast to Greenland, and in Iceland, as well as Britain and Hie north of France. The Chinese coast is also rich in these j mounds. Daily Thought There are certain fastnesses with in our soul that lie buried so deep that love alone dare venture down; and it returns laden with undreamed of jewels, whose luster can only he seen as they pass from our open hand to the hand of one we love. —Maurice Maeterlinck. Money Highly Rated Money is held in very high opinion by most of us. In fact, we usually think more of it than we do ourselves. We count it the greater asset. When we send it out to work for us we ex pect it to earn more than we do.— Grit. $ NOT TRUE GOLD Eyes of glass, * Teeth of clay— Peroxide blonde— —Ohio State Sun Dial.

Some of the most wonderful book*, on oil rih are in the monastery founded by St. Benedict ap-Rome 1400 years figo During the dark Middle aues when harhiirians were saoking libraries the Benedictine monks of Montecas sino p;itionti\ copied immortal wetl and thus preserved for tuda.v priceless books that would otherwise have been lost forevet Aiimm* them ate ‘‘Tin Golden Ass’ and the •‘.Metamorphoses’ of Apuleius; the history and Annals o! Tacitus; Ciceros oration “pro Cltien tio” and his essays. “Ilepuldica” and “About the Laws. I he Nature of the Gods” and Ovid's “Fasti.’’ The oldest grammar in history uns also preserved intact by the Benedictines. This was Varrone’s “Latin-•'Language.” Monte Cassino kept unharmed the only oris inal copy. Upon this all grammars down to the English grammar taught' in schools, have in part been based The work of the Benedictine monks in preserving priceless books of the church has been even more remark able. Original works of St. Jerome. St. Augustine, St. Cyprian and St. Am brose; the most ancient papa! decree, that of John VIII; the oldest text of a decree by Gratian. famous codifier of laws, have a!! been saved from the depredations of time by the Benedic tine brethren. Early Substitutes for the Modern Toothbrush Toothbrushes are quite a modern invention. In the Vernel Memoirs we are told that in 1649, Sir Ralph Ver ney was asked ny a friend to inquire in Paris “for the little brushes lot making cleane of theMeeth, most cov end with sylver, and some few with gold and s.vlver Twiste, togethei witii some Pettits Bouettes (? Unites) to put them in.” There is another ref- . erence to these, in a later volume ol the Mehoirs, as “teeth brushes.” “TurKish toothbrush” occurs in a list of “utensils’’ in the Musaeurn Trade scantianum in 1056. This was proh ably a stick of dragon root, which, in common with other roots, was used for that purpose down to the Seven tenth cenwry or even later. Not only the Romans. 2.(K)0 years ago, but also our own Queen Elizabeth, used a rough cloth, wrapped round a stick or a finger for her teeth. —Weekly Scots man. . Eridge Had Long Life Old London bridge, begun in 1170. was completed in 1209. It carried a row of timber bouses, which were fre quently burned down, hut the main structure existed until the beginning of the Nineteenth century. The old bridge was the center for booksellers and other tradesmen. On it stood the chapel of St. Thomas Canterbury and a tower on which the heads j1 traitors were exposed to view. The present London bridge was begun in 1824 and completed in 1831. It is borne on live granite arches, is 928 feet long, 65 feet wide and 56 feet above the river. Afraid to Fish Along the headwaters of the Ori noco river in Ver , '""ola, a — * - • tie known to white people, dwell a race of Indians whose religious beliefs make them fear to fish or eat the flesh of any animal. Believing that the souls of men enter beasts after death they are careful not to harm any lower creature superior in the biological scale to bugs, worms and ants. These they eat freely. These strange Indi nns were discovered by Dr. Herbert Dickey of New York while trying to find the sources of the Orinoco. —Ex change. Belgic Races The Inhabitants of Belgium belong to two different races, known as the Flemings and the Walloons, speaking two different languages. The Flem ings of the North are of Teutonic orig in and speak Flemish, which is similar to Dutch. The Walloons of the South are largely of Celtic origin and speak a dialect of French. The name of the country is derived from that of the Celtic group, the Belgae, whom Julius Caesar mentioned in his book on the Gallic war. ••. * 9 Even a deaf man seldom overlooks an invitation to take something.

My roof cost me a little more because it’s worth more. I could have put on a substitute for a few dollars less. It would have kept the weather out for a few 7 years. Instead, I spent a little more and got a roof that I’ll never have to replace and that is completely fireproof. Besides, my roof has beauty and a solid substantial look that fllimsy materials just can’t give. Altogether I made a mighty good buy.” ~ ■ Any home owner can profitably follow this advice.
