C, April 8, 113 The walking habit shouU ceine in fashion again, but walking just to bo walking is of IktL- value as a:i ni'i' cise. One should walk with an object in view, for the mind has as much to do with exercise as the body. Walk ing to ami from your work, especially if eng:;geel in indoor occupation, is a most healthful exorcise. n. nv e . ei eniy sevnia net only iioj.e ful but conf.dent that the next few months will bring to us all a larger volume of ba.-iiu ss than we have en joyed for many months."

He came from Atlanta to Charlotte. With 'J inches of snow in Phila delphia and practically the same amount in Ha'timore and Washington, from Cape Hatteras to Capo Cod, a .snow of unprecedented tlcpth for April was that which fell last Friday night and Saturday. It was a record tlofyitijr April blizzard. Earlier in the week, a two and a half inch snow fell ami so still was the atmosphere that it covered the trees ami foliage and made a beautiful picture in woods and lawn. In Asheboro at no time until Friday d'.iving last week, did the thermometer fall so low as the freez ing point. On Friday night, the wind blew a gale from the northeast at a terrilie speed, and before te n o'clock the freeing- point had been re.nhrd. By Saturday morning, the snow was more than shoe top deep, and all day Saturday the snow fell. !t extorted north ;""! !o i!,e co:sst. but after piss ing tr.e la.iK'.n river as i:'.r seutih a the polr.t v here the Xovfo!k-Seiuher crosses, the snow melted prae ticai! as rapidly as it fell.

Vet !:. I'oe does r.nt believe in the extreme measures to ryrht these wrongs that are advocated bv tuie. He thinks there is danger of making the remedy as had n the disease. It was further contended that robbery by cunning, as in the case of big trusts, is just as groat a crime as robliery by force as in the case of the highwayman. The speaker declared that it is no less a crime for a corporation to rob one million people ot a dollar eacn than it would be to reib one man of a million dollars, anel that it is the duty of poli tics ami government to break up such robbe-ry as fast as possible. That poor people in this country haven't the same advantages of hos pitals ami .surgeons, as the rich, was eharac terterizil as a barbarous fact, it was shown in many European coun tries, health insurance laws obviate this deplorable condition. The speak er, also, referred to the old age pen sion laws of European countries, v.hich ho thinks are highly commenda ble. He told an interesting st- rv of seeing in Penmark a long line of people all more than seventy years of rig-1, going up to get their montlvy pe.i.-don, which made- them indepen dent of v 'r.l ives. who might feel it a burden to -::re for thee need ones, and so not niake their lives ns com fertnblo as they shou'd bo.

On the contrary articles were printed showing that United Stutcs manufacturers now had a chance to capture some of the best markets of the world. They saw thous ands of business men going ahead as though nothing had happened. People were in no haste to draw their money from the banks an.l there were few failures.

Tbe Wood Gash Clothing Company PRAISES SOUTHERN HEROES Sir John French, Field Marshal in France, in a recent conversation with a representative of the Associated. Press, discussed Lee and Jacskon, the two great Southern generals of the War between the States, showing that he has made a thorough study of them, and has drawn lessons from them which have been helpful in France. "To me, General Jackson, was more lifte Cromwell than any other leader of history," said the British comman der. "A heroic, martial figure whose wonderful career came to the happy close a soldier desires in the hour of victory. I have followed all his marches and battles with unflagging admiration. He had the religious ex altation of Cromwell, his dash and determination and his ready strategy and the genuis of inspiring his troops with his own indomitable spirit cf energy. "But of all your commanders Rob ert E. Lee, in his patience, his re source, his pose, his soundness of judgment, and his possession of the qualities of high command in all emergencies is foremost, in my opin ion."
