EDITORIAL PAGE W. BRODIE JONES Editor-in-Chief. HOWARD F. JONES . Associate Editor s N That Justice May Evqp Have A Champion; That Evil Shall Not Flourish Unchallenged. LET US THEREFORE COME BOLDLY UNTO THE THRONE OF GRACE, THAT WE IpAY OBTAIN MRCY AND FIND GRACE TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED. Heb. 4:16. ! . .5 The Text this week isfurnished by the Rev. J. T.Draper. The quotation for next week will be given by the Rev. M. Y. Self. CAN THE ILUE LAW. GIVE US FREEDOM! The blue law in Warrenton has few friends if the. complaint against this infringement of personal privilege can be judged at all. We favor its death as an active statute. We believe that the drug stores in town should not be kept open during church hours. We believe just as firmly that if one is open after church hours, if the druggist is there filling a pre scription or receiving a telegram, that he should be allowed to sell coco colas, cigars, candy, cigarettes. Any one familiar with the facts in any town where the blue law puts a premium on Sunday soft drink bootlegging-knows that if a patron of a drug store wants a soft drink that patron can get if an offier is iot around. We are not telling tales out of school but are giving facts as true in Warrenton as in Kalamazoo. Few men, not under an oath, are going to enforce a law which inspectedip one side and down; the other seems utterly unwise. A travelling man at The Hotel Warren can't buy a cigar on Sunday when to many a cigar is about the best part of the meal. Shades of Puritanism! Shadows of provincialism! And what good does the law do! .Has church attendance improved since its adoption? Have people been convinced of this law's worth? . j Rather have not all who wanted anything winked at the measure and obtained what they wished if Chief Green or Rob ertson could be sidetracked all except the sfranger who drives through on Sunday and stops for a cigar he can't get. Isn't that personal discrimination for the class who know how to dodge the law? Face the facts, Mr. Commissioner. As one delegated to repre sent the town of Warrenton and 110J; to interpret its morals, will vou vote to remove the law from the books? The morals won't suffer if you do. Honesty and respect for law do, if you don't. SUPPOSfl. If all thg we say In a single day, With never a word left cut, Were printed each night In clear black and whitx 'Twould prove queer reac'nijL;, no l,ubt. And then just suppost, Ere one's eyes he could close He must read the day's record through, Then . wouldn't one sigh. And wouldn't one try A great deal less talking to do? 1 And I more than half think That many a kink Would be smoothed in life's tangled thread If one-half that we say In a single day . Were left forever, unsaid. Grace W. Castle, in the Christian Century. WORDS. Words are mighty, words are living; Serpents with their venomous stings, Or bright angelsr crowding around vus With heaven's light upon their wings; Svery word has its own spirit, True or false, that ntwr dies; Hvery word man's aps have uttered Echoes in God's skies. Proctor. Do that Christmas shopping early We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done. Longfellow. Physical bravery is an animal instinct ; moral bravery is much higher and truer courage. Phillips. MR. TERRELL ON THE JOB SINCE 1872 We congratulate the Seaboard Airline Railway in the good fortune it has and the good judgment shown in keeping Mr. W. S Terrell on its pay roll. Mr. Terrell commenced work with the Seaboard then Ral eigh and Gaston Railroad the 15th of November, 1872, and is yet on the job. On the 50th anniversary of his service for the road he did the "biggest day's work" the road has ever done at War ren Plains. Throughout this fifty years of service Mr. Terrell has never had a complaint lodged against him, has never had a reprimand or a letter of censure. In all that time not a single night closed without finding his books balanced to a penny. Jn addition to the service for the Railroad Mr. Terrell has as consistently served his Master, and no man is held in higher es teem by his fellow citizens. conservative, sober, dependable and industrious I bucn an example his fellow men may well emulate. May his years to come be manv ! A Dutch scientist has discovered the existence in the heavens of a body twenty thousand million times larger than the sun. We understand that it is to be allowed to remain there for the time being. Passing Show (London). j The suggested solution of the vexing problem as to why men leave home is that they don't like to stay there alone. Cincin nati Enquirer. Do 'little things as though they were great things, and you will live to do great things as though they were little things East and West. Only eight more shopping days before Christmas. An early shopper has the best from which to choose. j ROOM DEDICATED TO MRS. PENDLETON. Our columns carried the story last week of the activities of the Philatheas of Warrenton, as written by Mrs. V. L. Pendleton. Modesjy is a crowning virtue, but history should be kept straight, and it is our purpose to complete the story in order that honor may be naid where due. The Philatheas have furnished a room and dedicated it to Mrs. V. L. Pendleton, as the "Mother of Philatheas of North Car olina." The door of this furnished and dedicated room bears a silver scroll of, dedication, and it is this part of the beautiful and interesting story that Mrs. Pendleton's modesty would not permit her to place before the public. All honor to "The Mother of North , Carolina Philatheas!" HOWDY By W. BRODIE JONES Earthquake shocks sent through Chile this week. shivers How many, oh, how many times this week, have you been asked, "Wanta buy some candy?"
