THOUGHT! —FOR TODAY—J i ml Bible Thoughts memorized, will prove • [II I K ' Priceless heritage in after years. j§|| I CONTENTMENT WITH GOOD: I —Better is a little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith —Proverbs 15 :16. 1 THE PEOPLE TO BLAME AFTER ALL. The Washington Post publishes, for the enlightenment of its readers, the following clause from the Revised Statutes of the United States * .. The secretary of the Senate and sergeant-at-arms of the House, re spectively. shall deduct from the .monthly payments of each member or ‘delegate the amount of his salary for each day that he has been absent from the Senate or House, respect ively. unless such member or delegate asigns as the reason for such absence the sickness of himself or some mem ber of his family. The Washington Tost also, decry ing Congressional absenteeism, makes this charge: “Os the New York dele gation in the Sixty-ninth Congress no fewer than seven have been absent from the city a greater number of days than they have been here during the twenty half-days that the House has actually been in session since the 7th of December.” and it adds: “There are many of the representa tives of the people who appear to labor under the impression that so long as they are on hand to take the oath of office at the beginning of Con gress aud are able to sign the pay vouchers with unfaltering regularity each month they are immune from attendance upon the sessions.” The Asheville Citizen things “a Congressman who does not earn his pay by staying on the job in Washing ton when Congress is in session, is recreant to his trust,” and adds, “but the private citizen who takes no in terest in politics is also recreant to his trust. The standard of govern ment is set by the attitude of the man in the street. When his interest lags, the standard sags.” There is no denying The Citizens' statement. The man in the street run get thinga right in Washington if he will demand them. The Con gressman will loaf on the job in many instances unless there is some one to check him up. Why doesn't the man who makes out the checks have some system by which he can tell when a Senator or Congressman has been op the job? The law specifies that a member of Congress shall be paid for the time he works, and if this law is complied with the Congress members will stay on the job more. MORE SCHOOL FACTS. State School Facts in recent is sues has’ given valuable information , concerning' the kinds of elementary schools there are in the State. In a recent issue it gives the following summary of the rural schools liaviug -- seven teachers or more : i 1. I- That there were 2at there wese '#.003, teachers employW -in schools of Hristype, of ’which number onlyyjHW,: or 4.2 per .’c£at„ held inm-sjlindanl certificates. (J .3 That the' average teacher jn v these schools had an index of schol arship of 566.4, or an average seholas- I tic training equivalent to over a year and a half in college. 4. That there were 101,523 pupils enrolled in. these sehools. or 28.7 per cent, of the total rural elementary • en rollment. 5. That there were 76.730 pupils attending school daily representing 75.6 per cent, of the enrollment. 6. That there wire 39 pupils en rolled and 29.5 pupils in average dai ly attendance for each teacher em ployed in these schools. 7. That the average length of term was 162.8 days. 8. That the average teacher re ceived a salary of $97.76 per month. 9. That the daily cost per pupil was 12.5 cents on the basis of enroll ment and 16.6 cents on the basis of attendance. 10. That the factors that determin ed the cost of instruction were: Pu pils per teacher, salaries paid. en rollment and attendance, training of teaechers, of school attendance and school term. 11. That all. or a combination of all, of these factors determined the high or low cost as the case might be. Tlie State Fair seems to have per ished. Those in charge of the affairs of the fair organization have suggest ed that the grounds be sold for as much as possible, which means that the fair in all probability will not be held in 1926 or ever again. Certainly if it is organized again new grounds will have "to be purchased. Officials of the Cabarrus County Fair Asso ciation offered last year to move the fair to this city. Os course the sug gestion! was not seriously entertained but it might well have been, for the State Fair at its best lias never been better than the Cabaerus Fair insofar as management is concerned. There have been bigger crowds in Raleigh for the State Fair but not better sat isfied crowds than pressed into the grounds here. After all, you must satisfy the patrons and officials of the Cabarrus Fair know how to do that. Persons accustomed to attending the State Fair eau make Concord head quarters in October and they will find the exchange a profitable one, we be lieve. A SMART HISTORIAN Charity and Children. Frank Lawrence Owsley, associate professor of history in Vanderbilt Un iversity. has broken out in a new place. He ascribes the defeat of the Confederacy to "gross incompetence and file lack of national spirit at home.” He thinks the Confederacy collapsed beenuse the Confederate states distrusted one another and be cause all of them distrusted the cen tral government. He lambaste Gov. Joseph E. Brown, of Georgia. “He withheld supplies.” says the histori an, “as well as men and so did most of his brother governors.” He makes special mention of Gov. Vance, who ‘ ? '!md 22,000 uniforms in iiis ware-. liouse at the close of the war and large quantities of blankets, shoes and tents" though I.ce's soldiers were in rags and bare feet. We do not know a thing in the world about what the war governors of other southern states did. but North Carolinians gen erally will resent this gross reflection upon their great leader and statesman. It is unthinkable that Zeb Vance would withhold anything he had from the suffering soldiers of his state. He loved his people and was loved by them. There may have been 22.0000 uniforms in his warehouses, but if so there was a reason beyond the gover nor’s control that they were not given out. We have no doubt that the matter will be cleared up and that Vance will be exonerated from all blame. If he had a weakness it was that his sympathy for his suffering people sometimes overbalanced his judgment. There was no cruelty in his nature. He is considered the most provident war governor of the Confederacy. Nothing that he could ever do was left undone for the com fort of the soldiers in the field. Mr. Owsley has undertaken an impossible contract to convince the people of North Carolina and Virginia that Zeb Vance was either incompetent or thoughtless of the boys on the battle field. There arc some things we know, and that Zeb Vance was the best friend that Southern soldiers had, ts one of them. "Start Work on World’s Tallest Structure. New York.

North Carolina Health Bulletin We are just now reaching the sea son when' pneumonia is beginning to take its most terrific (toll of human life. During January. February and March more people died from this I disease than during the remaining nine months of the year. During these three months of 1925 pneumonia killed, in North Carolina, at the rate of over five hundred per month. If you live in a village of five hun dred people, think of an entire village the size of yours, men, women and children, being completely wiped off the map in this state each month dur ing January, February and March. Remember that is just what this one disease, pneumonia, is doing. The to tal is approximately 3,000 deaths per year. ' Pneumonia can much more easily be prevented than cured and preven tion is a personal matter depending on each individual. The dhetor will do all he possibly can to relieve a pa tient that is sick, but preventing the disease is a matter entirely In the hands of the individual. The doctor cannot do tfiat for him any more than he could eat his food for him or sleep for him. In one series of 1,408 pneumonia’ patients, taking them as they came, 852 gave a history of having been ill with a common cold for several days previous to the development of pneu monia. Some important measures in pre venting pneumonia which every one should know are: 1. Consider seriously and treat ad equately all “common colds.” 2. Dress to suit the weather, re membering that clothing ia for pro tection, rather than alone for adorn ment. ** 3. Avoid sudden chilling, wet feet and wet clothing. 4. Vitality, or resistance to infec tion. is greatly lowered by lack of exercise, excessive fatigue, loss of sleep, excesses of any kind, and poor food. During dangerous seasons be espe cially qareful to maintain vitality at its very highest. 5. Avoid all unnecessary contact with persons sick with pneumonia, influenza or colds. They are con tagious. fl. Keep hands clean. 7. Do not let fingers nr anything j else except proper food and drink en ter the mouth or touch the lips. 1 8. Avoid overheating of living rooms and be assured that there is ample ventilation to keep the air fresh. None of the Wage Commission's Busi ness. ltnleigh Times. Three departments of the State government, according to reports made by Pardon Commisioner Sink, who canvassed them, had determined to take Lee-Jackson day, a legal holiday, off. We hope they lived up to their convictions. Indeed, it would have been just as satisfactory had every department giv en holiday. Lee-Jackson day has been celebrated for many years by North Carolina officialdom, and vie have never heard of any untoward're sults. The fact that the salary and wage commission has not included this holiday in its list of days off pre sented to the departments for their guidance is of slight concern. A le gal holiday, as we understand it, is one fixed by the legislature. AS such it could not possibly be the business t'of the salary and wage commission until that body had sec a red authoriza tion for the general assembly to re vise the list of holidays. This authorization has not been given, and the legislature, while it may have consented had it been ap prised of the commission’s desire, never -dreamed that it was providing the governor with an agency which would attempt to fix hours of labor and the like for the officers of the state and their departments. We trust Pardon Commissioner j Sink, who is secretary of the salary | and wage commission, will pardon us for suggesting that nothing could -he i less of his business than whether thc| other responsible members qf the j state government observe or do not I observe the holidays as fixed by law .

Brskin, an English lord; Ninon, a fashionable dtmi-monde, and Annand, a ma»-ahout-tou>n, are among the wastrels helping to make Michaels gay life gayer. Ninon make* Brskin jealous, where upon he punishes the whole crowd by singing. CHAPTER I—Continued Rendered in cloying tones, feebly assisted by the orchestra, which vainly tried to follow hie erratic tempo, Freddy’s singing made a strange impression on hit victims. GHrls pretended to be overcome by sentimentality and emotion, strong men affected to weep, and Ninon theatrically engaged in convulsive sobbing on Armand’s Shoulder. Nothing daunted, Freddy com menced the second verse. "Moi, pour ces deux mots, ees mots d’amour — “One moment, Freddy,” inter rupted Michael holding up his !iand, “for some unaccountable rea son the people outside beem to be objecting to your singing. Lis ten —” "Hola, hola, good people, and who is dying up there?" a girl’s dear voice floated through the window on the crest of a Wave of .aughter. Michael and his guests walked to he balcony and looked out upon a Mind of revellers who had evident y stepped aside from the main lam and lingered to enjoy the itrocity of Freddy’s vocal effort. A itrange sight they presented. “Pray let Me remove your mask,” urged Michael. tressed in every conceivable cos tume and armed with balloons tied to sticks. From out their midst a girl in the fostume of Columbine suddenly broke into a mad dance accompa nied by the handclapping of the others. Slim and petite, with a tainty little figure well set off by aer abbreviated costume, she seem ed the very essence of youth and laughter as she pirouetted there in Ihe moonlight. At the height of ier dance she stopped to blow a Ciss to Michael and his friends, who were watching her with gen aine interest and admiration. “Voila, we have a distinguished audience with us! Ladies and gen tlemen, I beg of you to show us the poop fellow who sounded as one in the throes of death? Was It you. M’sieu?” The girl saucily pointed to Michael. “No, I am sorry I cannot cjslm ihe distinction. But pray continue yeur dance —K is entrancing.” “The cobblestones hurt my poor (set, M’sieu,” the girl' pretested, hopping about op one foot while gingerly nursing the other. "Then allow me to offer the floor of par humble salon,” said Michael on an impulse of sheer whimsy. Turning to a servant he gave in structions to sdmit the detached proup of reveller In they rushed pell mell, knock ing over chair*, toselcg the heavy draperies aside in wild eagerness. Led by Columbine, they marched round and round the room singing and mercilessly chastising the orig inal guests with toy balloons. Final ly they rußljed tp the banquet table and ravenouslydievoured every edi ble thing they could find. Columbine was plainly the life of that little crowd; her vivacity and freshneas interested Michael. A mass of coal black hair was care lessly done up high on her head and a determined little chin re vealed Itself from beneath her mash. Her laugh was infectious and her svelte, trim, tight little body gave her a boyish appearance la spite of her scanty and revealing Urhlte costume.

I suppose that next you will be begging for a kiss. Ugh, these men disgust me. A kiss, a kiss, that is what thoy always ask', young or old, short or tall, strong or feeble.

"But it is not fair to keep the j sight of so pretty a sac pret ty I aip Bure it must be! —from us," and Michael, in a spirit of deviltry, reached over to unao her mask. Colette laughing, evaded him.. Her eyes Suddenly rested on the watch fob hanging from his pocket, a gold affair set with a magnificent emergld. “Wfcal a beautiful Jewel! Is |t ! an heirloom, M’sieu t”/ “It has been In our family for many generations and we call It the Yervedoff emerald.” There was ! prfdeful concession in Michael’s manner as he took the fob out of his pocket and handed it to her. fl Colette examined and fondled it with admiration. “The ghosts of many a story, both of happiness and tragedy, clus ter hauntingly, around that little Stone," Michael commented softly. . “I bops that your association with it will only be one of happi ness, M’sieu,” Colette said with an earnest smile as she bhnded the fob back to him. A'servant approached him: “A lady to- see you, Monsieur," i he whispered apologetically. "1 don’t know how she got la. 1 found her in the library and told I her you were very busy. But she Insisted that she would wait all evening If necessary." A slight frown diluted the good nature in Michael’s face, excus ing himself, he left the rsoqt and entered the library. “Dolores!” he cried as a stately, beautiful girl arose and walked anxiously toward him. "May I ask how you got in here and why it |j> ’ that I am honored with a visit from you?*’ Cynicism colored bis voice; his face was hard, cruel. “I came in with thorn, Michael,” the girl replied, with ft wave iff the direction of the noisy crowd ia tbg ! other room. “I must talk with , you, alone." Her voice trembled and tears— whether of grief or of pique W*» 1 not cloar—misted her eyes. In her black gown and blue mood she con - traated somberly with the other people In Michael’s hdffso that evening. "It pains n* to be compelled to refuse but It Is quite impossible’ because, as you see, I have guests." Michael was frigidly decisive. “Last year I was the guest of ; honor and your one toast of the evening was for me!
