THE OLD BLUE BACK SPELLER
' By Frank L. Stanton.
I.
I see here, in the paper, that the legis
lative crowd
Have hit the "Hallelujah lick" that
does the old state proud!
No idle, endless argument to make the
weary groan,
It's just the Blue Back Speller that
once more claims its own I
II.
Plain with no fancy trimmings
the old, but ever new,
It's mighty good to meet it in the
same, loved dress of blue!
Friendly, familiar pages we thumbed
in boyhood when
The schoolbvs kissed the Mothers
whose life-love made the men!
III.
The state lawgiver turns aside from
each perplexing plan;
(Why, that old . Blue Back Speller
would wake a Congressman!)
Visions of youth, and meadows greeny
a-glimmer with the rain;
The hills that flashed the message of
. the Morning to the plain.
IV.
The law books are forgotten great
Learning's golden store; i
The Judge becomes a dreamer and
goes to school once more;
Walks with a President-to-be path
ways by singing brooks; '
With dew-splashed feet, in homely;
jeans boys of the Blue Back
Books!
V. I
The old field school is yonder where !
Memory invites;
The rude log cabins that have given '
a gleam to Learning s heights;
They whose voices wakened a world.
their worth has swayed;
(How firm a foundation that Blue
Speller laid!)
VI.
All in a dream to school again!
Brush the pink blooms apart,
Wet with spring dew, they'll kiss the
curls of heryour first sweetheart
As, all forgetful of the way, cheeks
close as cheeks may be,
You scan the picture of the boy high
in the apple tree.
VII.
The Blue Back 'Speller, halved with
her with all the pictures plain--The
Travelers and the Bear; the Sun
and Wind contend again;
Familiar scenes! Still brightening
through all life's devious ways,
With the unforgotten sweetheart of
the Blue Back Speller days!
VIII.
Welcome unto a "chum" of old of i
many a joyous year!
To friend McGuffey, in whose books
we read our titles clnr!
The Blue Back Speller wakes a chord
that still responsive thrills,
For the schoolboy of the valley is the
Statesman of the Hills!
MY FIRST CHEW
I remember the first chew of tobac
co I ever took, and today I wish it
had been the last. I was a kid, and
like many other kids, not exactly on
the square. I lied about the tobacco.
I went to a man named Aus Buffum
and told him my uncle wanted a
dime's worth of fine-cut. They used
to twist it up in tissue paper in those
days, buying it in big wooden pails
like they now use for shipping candy.
I got the tobacco, and walked all alone
about a quarter of a mile to a school
house and there all alone, so far as
this world was concerned, I took the
chew. It tasted salty but I chewed
it with a vengeance. Suddenly I was
taken seasick. No sicker boy was ever
on this earth and I felt sure I should
die and wanted to. I was sick for
several hours; weak and deathly pale
The next day, determined to be mean,
I went to Aus Buffum and told him
that fine cut was not what my uncle
wanted, he wanted Cherry. In those
days there was a vile brand on the
market known as Cherry tobacco. I
bought that. Aus Buffum knew I
was lying. I knew it. I chewed it,
and have chewed tobacco ever since.
Why did I want ti chew tobacco?
What demon tempted me? I didn't
need it. I was not a slave to it, and
old Nature rebelled and made me
doathly sick but I defied the Fates
and became a victim ofnicotinp. I
cannot in my philosophy understand
why I wantonly and with premedita
tion, running and falsehood wont into
the di'ty habit. I cannot understand
vlirit is in a boy who will do such
things. When I see a kid today smok
ing a cigarette, porhaps Ins lirst one,
I wonder v.hv he deliberately makes
such a fool of himself. I wonder why
boys are not given the pood sense
that a dog is given aye that a hog is
given. You can't make a dog chew
tobacco and a hop: Will drink beer or
whiskey but one time.

Save Your Hair! .Get a 25-cent Bottle
of Danderine Right Now Also
Stops Itching Scalp.
Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair
of its lustre, its strength and its very
life; eventually producing a feverish
ness and itching of the scalp, which
if not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die the the
falls out fast. A little Danderine to
night now any time will surely
save your hair.
Get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter, and after the first ap
plication your hair will take on that
life, lustre ana luxuriance wmcn is so
beautiful. It will become wavy and
fluffy and have the appearance of
abundance; an incomparable gloss and
softness.but what will please you most
will be after just a few weeks' use,
when you will actually see a lot of
fine, downy hair new hair growing
all over the scalp.

FIRE AT SILER CITY ;
BUT FOR THE HEROIC WORK OF
THE CITIZENS THE TOWN j
WOULD HAVE BURNED LOSS '
IS CONSIDERABLE. . j
At two o'clock Tuesday morning fire
was discovered in the small grocery
store of Henry Wright, at Siler City.
The alarm was given and soon a nuin-1
ber of men were on the scene with
buckets and began to fight to save the 1
business section of the town. The
building in which the fire started was j
a one-story frame structure and burn-!
ed very rapidly. The flames quickly1
spread to two adjoining wooden
buildings, one of which stood within
ten feet of a two-story brick building
in which there are three wkidows in
the second story and next to the burn
ing building. For a time the entire
business section of the city was
threatened and it was only the heroic
work of the citizens that saved the
large two-story brick building of
Wrenn & Edwards which is located in
the very heart of the business section
of the town. If this building had burn
ed there would have been no way to
have saved the other business blocks.
The following is an estimate of the
loss: ..
Stocks of groceries belonging to
Henry Wright, $1,100, with $800 in
surance; building belonging to L. L.
Wrenn, worth $250, no insurance; mar
ble works of J. M. Ray, loss $600 no
insurance; house belonging to L. L.
Wrenn worth $200, no insurance; har
ness and repair shops of C. R. Elkins,
loss $800, no insurance; building be
longing to R. H. Dixon and H. S. Fox,
worth $.'100 with $200 insurance; dam
age to Wrenn and Edwards building
$100, covered by insurance;; damage
to K. of P. and I. O. O. F. hall fur
niture $25; damage to plate glass
front in Grcgson and Dorsett whole
sale grocery building belonging to L.
L. Wrenn, $100, fully covered by inn
surance; damage to glass in Chatham
hotel, $25, no insurance. During the
fire a ladder upon which four men
were standing broke throwing them
to the pavement and W. A. Brooks
received an ugly gash upon the head.
The origin of the fire is unknown, but
it is supposed that it was started by
rats or from the electric wires.
