kandleman news SUS-
SPENDS
We regret to note that the Randle-
man News has suspended. Iiack of
fifiancial support was the cause. It is
like saying of a man when he dies,
heart failure is the cause. There are
hundreds of people who receive great
benefit from their home paper in mnny
ways but who do not so much as pay
their subscription bills. It, in the
estimation of many ought to live upon
air, and hot air at that. They ex
pect the home paper to furnish the
news, promote the community, to
be the advertising medium, to advocate
the cause of righteousness and good
morals, and to live upon promises.—
The Burlington News.
If it was with the Randleman
paper as it is with so many,
there were a number of mislead
ing promises made to the Editor
to induce him to spend his time,
and money to establishing and
maintain a paper for the interest
and benefit of Randleman and its
people, but as soon as he was
tied dc'wn, and it was thought
he could not help him self, if
they followed the usual custom,
they forgot, or neglected their
promises of support and began
handing out to him biled snake
for a diet, in other words began a
crusade of lies and slanders a-
gainst him and his paper dispara
ging his every effort, and doing
all they could to cripple him, they
succeeded after a while, and
destroyed his business, and now
the people of Randleman will
have ample time to reflect upon
doing without a paper, and
Randleman will get a set back
for ten years, for it will be quite
that long before they succeed in
foolinglan other man into believe-
ing the “leading citizens rot”
Of course in every community
there are good men loyal
citizens, who contribute their
share in the support and suste
nance of every public enterprise,
and but for them none could
exist and while this is true, and
full credit should be accorded,
these progressive serviceable
ciiizens, how often is it you find
some gutter snipe, some mental
degenerate, going around critici
sing and abusing the Editor,
and disparaging his paper, doing
their level to create a false,
and unfair opinion of both. It
is these insufferable worthies,
men, and women, who have not
the brains, or decency to
aprpeciate a newspaper. They
think the efforts of a newspaper
is to be appreciated much like a
certain animal does jewelry.
vriven a show at the till.
Gaynor, in his letter to the
investigating committee seeks
to divert attention from the vit
al question of police graft, by
complaining that a few news
stand may have goten license in
an irregular manner. Poor
contemptable excuse. Gaynor
wont do, and the sooner his
term expires the better for law
an^ order in the city of New
York.
STOP THE HAZING AT ANY
COST
The hazing of young I W Rand
at Chapel Hill by which he lost
his life should be handled by
State aathorites with gloves off.
Because University boys was
responsiable for it is no reason
for mitigating the crime.
If a half a dozen boys had had
their brutal necks broken in
former hazing it would have
long since ceased. Some Colleges
have been a place where the
toughest of American youth
have hid behind the professors
robe, and because they were
college bo>s with a wealthy
father usualy went unwhiped of
justice for crimes they commited
Admiting that the killing of
young Rand was purely acci
dently, and unforeseen tragedy
does not excuse it. When a boy
as he is compelled do, to en
tirely surrender all phisical
resistace when he is being hazed
by a lot of irresponsable toughs,
who is it that is to guard him
against the dangers that thickly
strew his pathway? It is not to
avail them that his tormentors
are interested, but that the
keenest delight is felt when the
gravest danger is most apparent.
The Return
A nttle hand is knocking at my heart.
And I have closed the door;
I pray thee, for the love of God, de
part;
Thou shall, come in no more."
“Open, for I am weary of th^ way.
The night is very black.
I have been wandering many a night
and day.
Open, I have come back.”
The little hand is knocking patiently;
I listen, dumb with pain.
“Wilt thou not open any more lo me?
I have come back again.”
I “I will not open any more. Depart.
{ I, once that lived, am dead.”
The hand that had been knocking at
my heart
Was still. “And I?” she said.
There is no sound, save in the winter
air.
The sound of wind and rain.
All that I lived in all the world stands
there.
And w ’1 not knock again.
—Arthur Symons.
GAYNOR WONT DO
Mayor Gaynor of New York
may be as straight as a black
snakes track, he may even be
straighter, but some how he has
succeeded in impressing us with
the idea that he was entirely
too crooked to even be mayor
of New York. His expression,
and his general attitude all go
to strengthen that belief.
If the people of New York had
depended upon Gaynor to probe
the police department after the
murder of Rosenthal, then it
would never have been done.
If Gaynor has not profited by
the graft in the public depai*t-
ment, then he should get from
under. Gaynor says:
“I do not see how I can ex
pect the police to be honest when
they see on every hand that even
the aldermen of the city are
taking p-raft personally or en
abling corrupt go-betweens to
do so,” "Mayor Gaynor declared.
And he seems to be a man
that thinks as long as others
steal, his subordidate should be
An article that has real merit should
in time become popular. That such is
the case with Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy has been attested by many
dealers. Here is one of them. H. W.
Hendrickson, Ohio Falls, Ind., writes,

Kidney Troubles
Can be Avoided
You cannot afford to neglect the
slightest kidney ailment—it’s hazard
ous to do so.
The poisonous waste material mutt
be separated from the blood and if the
kidneys become weakened this is im
possible.
That means a poisoned system.
That's why neglect means trouble —
the ailment becomes chronic and re
sults in Rheumatism or Bright’s Dis
ease.
