January 23 1913 AN OUTRAGE. The Union News Company who seem to own the exclusive lijiht to sell things on the trains when it ! license pawn shops, and others ! to sell pistols to irresponsaole white men, and vicious negroes to commit crimes for honest hard working men to pay the cost for. A power that works above my will Still leads me onward, upward still; And then my heart attains to this— To lhank Thee for the things I miss. The South Eastern tariff including fruits, and confection, | ^^^ggciation is collecting heavy newspapers, magazines etc, people of North The World Wants. ' “The world wants men—true men. Who can not be bought, or sold; Men who scorn to violate trust; Men of genuine gold.” have evidently come into a rich thing since the railroads have ordered that all drinking glasses and cups be removed from the water ccolers. They have for sale on the train cullapsable luminum cuds for 25cts that can be purchased in most stores that sell them for lOcts. We con sulted the news boy about these cups, and learned he was getting a commission of four cents a piece each for the sale of these CJps, while the News Company is realizing more than one hundred ])er cent on them above what the store charges after paying a meague commission for their sale. Did the Union News Company engineer the thing to take the glasses and cups from the j coolors through some sanitary fanatic in order to fleece the public? The News Union is a trust, and a grinding monopoly, and like a lot of financial harpies who prey upon the women, and thirsty starving children, who ride upon the trains, and are compelled to buy their stuff. It was an outrage upon the traveling public to withdraw all the glasses and cups from the coolers on the train, without providing some way to accomo date this public necessity, with out extorting upon people. While no inteligent person argues other than that the old system was unsanitary, and that there was objectionoble features to it, but the American people had lived, prospered, and died fo/ three quarters of a century without any serious charge against the glass on the train to quench a childs thirst, and no serious harm had been attributed to the glass but that which grew largely out of sentiment. In the name of suffering child hood, and womanhood we ask the present general assembly that this imposition be corrected. Carolina to pay for what the fire bugs burn in Chicago and New York. A man in a small town pajing five per cent for fire protection, its doing him some. The Legislature ought to break up the work of the South Eastern Association in North Carolina. First Efforts Should Not Be Drect#d to Subjects That Would Test Genius. Far, far Is It from our wish or in tention to burt anybody’s feelings, but we do wish to state, very, very gently, that one of the most difficult tasks a real poet, experienced and skilled In the practice of his art, could under take, would be to write an adequate and fitting poem on the loes of th« Ti tanic. For anyone else to attempt It Is to Invite Inevitable failure, and fail ure of a kind that—well, of a kind that it would be unkind, in the circum- Btances, to characterize. To be deeply and sincerely moved is one of the requisites for writing noble verse about a tragic episode In human history, bnt It Is far from be ing the only requisite, and, with all respect for their emotions and Inten tions, we would suggest that thos® who have only a desire to express what they feel In regard to this calamr itous event should do It otherwise tbaa In verse. At least they should not try to get the verse printed, for by bo doing they place upon the winnowers of metrical offerings the always pain ful duty to be cruelly kind. Surely, surely, surely, a first effort to write poetry should not be on a subject that would test all the powers of a long-tested genius. fc. ♦ — Candor is the seal of a noble mind, the ornament and pride of man, the sweetest charm of woman, the scorn of rascals, and the rarest virtue of sociability. —Bentzel-Sternau. Judge Boyds connection with the Old Nick Williams whiskey company has not acted as a bleaching powder for his Judicial ermine. In trying to maintain for others that high standard of social excelence there is some times a posibihty of getting soiled. Made a Good Guess. A gentleman was watching a mili tary funeral passing down the street, [t was a very pretentious affair, and he walked to the edge of the curb to get a better view of the spectacle. Just then the flag-draped cannon pass ed, bearing the flower-laden coffin. His curiosity was all the more aroused, so tie stei^>ed up to a newsboy, who was (ratchlng the procession, and asked: “Who’s dead, sonny?” The newsie looked at his ques tioner and then at the passing troops ind finally said: “J don’t know, boss; but I guess It must be the feller under all dem Bowers!” Cheerfulness is a thing to be more profoundly grateful for than all that genius or talent ever accomplished.— Helen Hunt Jackson. Those That Live Down In the Deep Are Grotesque and Chim erical. Cuba ends to the south In a huge hammer of mountains 8,000 feet high and steeping sheer into the sea. 'The wall does not end there, but con tinues its precipitous descent into the 700-mlle-long abyss called Bartlett’s deep. This gigantic submarine valley is nearly four miles deep and 80 miles wide. At a mile and a half, the pressure of the water is nearly two tons to the square inch; the ooze that comes up from such a depth, though the equator nins overhead, is cold as hoar frost; it is ten times certain that no vegetar tion can grow there. As in our world none but the vege table i are able to make food, it ought to follow that in the depths of the sea there should be no animal life. As a matter of fact, these glooms are In habited by the most grotesque and chimerical of all fishes. It would seem | as though in the darkness life had | taken every Imaginable license to be ugly and bizarre. Cannibalism Is evl- I dently the only method of life, and its | equipment runs to every kind of cx- travaganoe. I *Shere are fish with teeth so long that they cannot close their mouths, fish that draw their stomach over prey larger than themselves, fish with no more mouth than a leech, and get- \ ting their living as leeches, fish with i huge, myopic eyes, and fish frankly ^ blind. Probably none of them comes \ from depths quite beyond the region of I light, though a great many of them go I poking about their ghoulish business I furnished with lanterns of th* glow* I worm type. | It 2s bpst to love wiselyt no doubt; but to love foolishly is better ^han not to be able to love at all. —Thackeray. Brief Wills. Probably the briefest document ever probated as a will was a signed and dated memorandum, “Everything is , • . i Liou’s,” written by decedent In a rail*! called cures for years, without benefit way train record book kept by him; j atd they also improved my sight. A Hero Tn A Lighthouse. For years J, S. I.onahue, So. Haven, Mich., a civil war captain, as a light house keeper, averted awful wrecks, but a queer fact is, he might have been a wreck, himself, if Electric Bitters had not prevented “I’hey cured me of kidney trouble and chills," he writes, “after I had taken other to After Awhile. (Maud Reber Layton in the Corner stone.) After awhile, when Life’s noon-tide we reach. And all our follies troop before our eyes Like furies, to condemn our acts and speech. Why is it that we can not then be wise? feet CAN NOT COMMIT MURDER. It IS hoped that Senator Victor Bryants bills before the present State Legislature respecting the selection of a jury may become a law, also the one for securing jurors from other counties, in stead of removing a case to other counties. Mr. Bryant in defense of his bill says that the defen dants may practicaly select a jury to suit themselves, when acquitals are made absolute under the present system. Now if Mr. Bryant shall incorporate and educational qualification in order to fit a man for jury duty, he will have gone a long way towards securing some needful electrocutions. A recent murder case in Greensboro shows how the law may be spit upon, and justice insulted. It’s an outrage, we might say that the man who is able to pay for learned council cannot commit murder, his money renders him immune from punishment. There are lawyers in North Carolina that never would have been known beyond their immediate section, but for the States infamous jury system that enables them 10 set free rich clients who wero able to pay large fees, and to day those lawyers are burdened with blood money. Why, with the lamps before our to guide Us into paths of everlasting light. Do we still grope and push them all aside, Preferring self-indulgence to the Right. Why is it, from the cradle to the grave. Along life’s journey, every single mile, A man’s best efforts he will always save To deck the jeweled crown “After Awhile?” After awhile the pleasures that we sought will cease to please, and everyone will know How dearly all life’s vanities are bought And what small seeds will make a folly erow. After awhile the soul that scorned to taste The poisoned chalice of deceit and sin. Will swing the door with bold and eager haste, And, open-armed, will take stranger in. After awhile the golden rays of light Will change to light’ning shadows chill and dark; After awhile the path that’s straight and right Will, sinuous, lose the last remaining spark. After awhile the flowers that bloom will fade. The young grow old, the old wil’ pass away; After awhile all beauty ever made Will show the crumbling curse of Rad decay. But far beyond the destinies of fate We see a glimmer nothing can be guile; Hope's light is shining through the golden gate And angels beckon onward “After Awhile.” Road Tax For 1913 Due. Notice—The special road poll tax for the year 1913 is now due, and payable until the first day of April. Under the old law the treasurer was paid a small commission for collecting and handling this fund. And heretofore I haye given that commission to those who looked after it in the different Townships. But now under the Salary law there is no provission made for any one to be paid any thing out of this fund. Therefore, unless some one will volunteer to collect without charge, in the townships, I cannot put the bocks out as has been my custom. According by instruction from tfie County Com- mers., the books will be ac my office in the court house in Graham, and all persons desiring to pay will pay to me unless they find bome one else with the books.

One of our naval officers tells of an Incident that occurred when an Ameri can war vessel was lying at anchor In a European port, on which occa sion It was visited by a monarch and his suite. One of tbe members of this suite, resplendent In gold lace and decora tions, with a big F "ord at his side and sporting a huge lache, was explor ing the ship, and, being ignorant of things nautical, had leaned' against the tnaln-hatch windsall, mistaking It for a mast. Of what ensued the officer of the deck was informed by the boat swain’s mate, who had seen the catas trophe and who broke the news of it thus: I “You will excuse me, sir, but I think the ' one of them kings has fell down the main, hatch, sir.”—Harper’s Magazine. Best Cough Medicine lor Children. “I am glad to say a few words in praise of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy” writes Mrs. Lida Dewey, Milwaukee, Wis. “I have used it for years both for my children and myself and it never fails to relieve and cure a cough or cold. No family with children should 1 be without it as it gives almost imme diate relief in cases of croup.” Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is pleasant and safe to take, which is of great importance when a medicine must be given to young ceildren.
