One of the most horrible wrecks—a
pad-on collision, occurred Sunday
Veiling about dark on the Charlotte
ighwny near the residence of J. W.
(tames, when a truck headed east
vas rmi into by a Ford car going
rest. The car struck the loaded truck
vith such force that it was knocked
dear across the road and jammed
into the opposite bank. The car was
smashed info flinders. It was occu
pies by Mri and Mrs. Brady tjimpson
uad brothld. Lee Barbee and two
laughters of Mr. Tom Smith, of Brat
tain school section. At first it was
thought all were killed and so much
blood was on the ground that persons
remarked later “it looked like two or
three hogs have been killed there.”
A car going to Albemarle chanced to
phss nnd took the girls at once to the
hospital there, then one going in the
other direction picked up the men
when it was found they were still
alive, and was taking them to the
hpspital in Charlotte, but when out a
few .miles they remonstrated so much
that the man brought them back to
the place of the wreck. The next
nforning they were taken to theAlbe
[ ninrle hospital. The, latest report was
‘ to the effect that it was,feared Simp
' son and one of the. girls would not
■' live. We are informed that liquor
( was the cause of the
Simpson was drinking and 'his Wife
had her brother go and drive the ca>
| itfid just where , the wreck occurred
one caught Barbee's arms and
caused the car to swerve.
No blame is attached’’to the truck
_ driver as he was on his own side jof
! the road, although he offered himself
\ tb the sheriff. P.

BEGGARS AND THEIR SCHEMES
Monroe Enquirer.
I am getting up a list of beggars
who come to town and some day I
I shall various plans and
schemes these persons have for mnk‘
. ing an easy living off of a gullible
public.
Only recently a fat young woman,
stranger in these parts, came* in and
asked for the boss. I told her I was
the bossed, but go ahead. She opened
I up her cardboard vaiise and took
therefrom a handful of unartlstic arti
ficial roses. “Please buy these,” she
’ said, “to help my pore sick husband.”
The woman may have been worthy of
assistance but I had do way of know
t ing whether or not she was an im
( poster.
Another' beggar was an old para
, lytic, scarcely able to bd about. His
own county should take care of him.
Pretty girl, wh'o said her home was
in Charlotte, breezed in, inquiring:
“Mister, are you the manager?"
I told her I was the managed.
Whereupon she confidingly told me
that she was working for a prise—
had eight hundred subscribers to a
magazine and needed twoS thousand
by Saturday night when the contest
closed. She gave me the glassy eye
when I told her I didn’t need any
more magazines and those I am tak
ing were paid for another year in
advance. • : '
Another asker of alms was a com
mittee of ladies seeking donations for
the erection of a church building.
“We just know you’ll put down for
fifty dollars,” said the spokeswoman.
“Ladieß,” was *my reply, “this ain’t
Duke's Foundation headquarters, nor
yet is it one of Rockefeller’s filling
stations.” But they insisted that I
give at least 910, and I out-talked ’em
and got out by paying SOO.
Afterward though I did go to the
.trotible to find out why another
church? It appears in the commun
ity In which these good ladies live
there are already two churches of dif
ferent denominations, and serving in
a good way. Five families of the
neighborhood will not affiliate with
| these organisations because they are
of “another faith and order,” whidh
meaps the difference between tWeedle
dec and tweedle-dum. And it it pos
sible the devil himself is behind the
new church scheme to,keep the people
of a good community at variance be

There Are Dogs and Dogs.
N. 0. Christian Advocate.
The dog in the East is an outcast,
a scavenger of the streets, and still
held in abhorrence as he has been
from time immemorial. Unquestion
ably, this explains why in the Bible
there is no expression that tells of
the fidelity, love and watchful care of
dog. On the contrary we read, “Is
thy servant a dog, that he should do
this tiling?” “Beware dogs” and
in Revelations, “without are dogs.”
But in medieval art there is a differ
ent story. To symbolize fidelity a
dog is represented as lying at the feet
of St. Bernard, St. Benignus and
St. Wendelin, and as licking the
wounds of St. Rooh. The dog is
placed at the feet of women in monu
ments to symbolize affection and fidel
ity. As in western art so the dog
fares better in western literature than
in the literature of the East. Ulysses’
dog, Argos, recognized him after his
return from Troy, and died of joy.
Sir Walter Scott called his jet black
greyhound Hamlet. Mrs. Browning's
pet dog, was named Flush and about
him she wrote a poem. Charles Lamb
had a dog named Dash. Pope’s dog
, was named Bouncel, all or which
serves to bring these names in liter
ature with the familiar names of tfieir
dogs close home to the heart of the
small boy of the present day. Alex
ander Pope gave the Prince of Wales
a dog on whose collar was inscribed :
“I am his Highness' dog at Kew :
Pray; tell me. sir, whose dog are you?”
In view of the record that the dog
■ has made, why should we find fault
with one who insists upon having a
i ’possum or rabbit dog, a foxhound, a
setter, or pointer or collie or a poodle?
But we do insist that the bark of n
i dog should be kept on the owner’s
i side of the fence and the bite should
i be confined to hoipe consumption.
Many women in England, especial
ly those 'with large families, <re
! learning to repair boots and shoes,
i as-they know, it will save them a .lot
of money.
THE FLORIDA BUBBLE.
Union Republican.
A Winston-Hn’.em business man
who returned the past week from a
month's stay in Florida, is not very
enthusiastic over the Bubble State.
He visited practically every section
of the State while away but did not
invest.
He says that lots nre selling from
two to five miles from the smallest
towns at a higher price than one
can buy a lot in Item.a Vista, one of
Winston-Salem’s growing residential
sections which already has paved
streets and other improvements.
The Winston-Salem man is about
ready to agree with Congressman
G-reen. of lowa, who while making a
speech in congress sometime ago at
tacking Florida for abolishing the
inheritance tax by constitutional
amendment said that she "can never
make a really big State through
colonies of tax dodgers and money
grabbers, parasites and coupon cut
ters. jazz trippers and booze hunt
ers,*’ All of tfuse things and more
are there opines the Winston-Salem
man.
Raymond Hitchcock, the actor,
who spent awhile in Florida this
winter tells of a man from his home
town who wanted to sell him some
Florida land. "Where is it?" Hitch
cock asked him. And he got out a
map. There where those two fellows
are drowning,’ he said, 'will be the
hotel and Where that man is fishing
will be this p’ot here.’ Fish this
long,” he indicated, “jumped right
out of where the pubic, building will
be erected. He wanted 964,000 for
the two and a half acres of this
land that was not even made and I
told him I would take three gallons
of lots.”
“A lady took me to ride nnd some
thing went wrong with the car; the
car ran out of gas. I volunteered to
go for the gas. For some time I
wandered about in the rain. Rain.
O boy, you don't know what rain in
unless you see a Vain in the tropics;
it seems to spank you. By this time
I was wading in the gu’f. I met a
man who said he wanted to sell me
some land. He had 24 acres, near or
adjoining the 9t2.5.000 an acre land
not yet made. I asked him how much
he wanted for it, expecting him to
say $492,000. but lie said , $24,000
and I took it. Surrounded by real
estate dealers he had been over
looked,”
Tile Winston-Salem man was not
prepared to say when the bubble
would be punctured but is satisfied
that it is on the way.
A Father in Israel Gone.
X. 0. Christian Advocate.
Jacob Rufus Barnhardt, the
father of Rev. J. H- Barnhardt,
presiding elder of the Winston-Salem
district, and of the late Rev. Z. E.
Barnhardt, died at his home near
Mount Pleasant January 28 and
was buried Saturday afternoon, Jan
uary 30, at Cold Spring church. He
never fully Recovered from the hurt
he sustained when he fell from a
wagon almost three months ago.
However, he seemed to be improving
and had begun to walk about the
house when he developed pneumonia
and died almost suddenly. The fun
eral was conducted by his pastor,
Rev. L. Scott, assisted by Rev.
X'. H. Richardson, a former jtastor.
“Uncle Jake,” as he was lovingly
known throughout the entire country
surrounding his home, was a strong,
influential man. He was the father of
eleven children, all of whom became
loyal Christian citizens.and two of
whom, as above mentioned, became
mini-stero of distinction, filling the
highest appointments within the
gift of the W- N. C. conference. He
served as a steward in the Methodist
church for almost three score years
ami ten and was a pillar in the
progress of Methodism in Cabarrus
county..
He is survived by his wife and
seven children, 47 grandchildren and
six great-grandchildren, besides a
host of relatives and friends who
honor his name. He lived a little
more than 80 years in the service of
God and of his church and he re
mained active, rarely ever missing a
service. His seat in the church is
strangely vacant and his presence
sorely missed, but the principles for
which he stood and his godly in
fluence still live and count for right
cousnesat in this world.
Little Bessie in town with her
mother; efcw a bald-headed man, and
said: V
"Ob, mother, just see that man. He
hasn’t any hair on his head. Isn’t it

"Hush,” replied her mother, “ he
might hear you.”
“Oh," replied Bessie, “doesn't he
know it,"
UNIQUE.
Winston-Salem Sentinel.
In announcing his candidacy for the
■Democratic nomination for the gen
eral assembly W. O. Saunders, of
Elizabeth City, recently made a state
ment that was characteristic and]
unique.
It was unique both because of the I
things that it said and the things
I'.iat it failed to say.
Some of the stereotyped remarks
that candidates for < ffice generally
make were conspicuous by the ab-j
sence.
And Mr. Saunders made certain re
marks that candidates often refrain
from making.
In his formal announcement he
says:
“I shall be a candidate for the gen
eral assembly 'because I want to sit in
on the next oession of that legislative
body. No one has asked me to run
and I am not making a great sacrifice
in the interest of the people.
"I 'have no legislative program to
offer; there is no proposed local legis
lation in which I have the slightest
personal interest. As a matter of
fact I thing we have too many laws
already and the country would be
bnfer, the life of the people happier
and more prosperous if n lot of the
laws we have were repealed.
“Before announcing my candidacy
I went personally to my friend and
fellow citizen, Shelton G. Scott, who
ha« been urged to be a candidate for
the office. I told Mr. Scott that
if he would run I would not be a
candidate but would pledge him my
support. Mr. Scott assured me that
he did not want the office and could
not sacrifice the time necessary to
wage a campaign.
“I have no intention of campaign
ing extensively for myself. I shall
certainly refrain from making a hand
shaking campaign. I shall buy no
cigars, kiss no babies and make no
specious promise to anybody.”
Just think of a candidate for a leg- j
islative position who admits that no
body has asked him to run and who J
further admits that he is not making i
n sacrifice by running.
And think of the nerve of a fel
low who is willing to go further and
state that he has no legislative pro
gram and that he does not propose ,
to kiss any babies during the cam- I
paign.
Whether or not Mr. Saunders wins i
the nomination (and he has served 1
one term in the general assembly) he
can have the satisfaction of know-;
ing that bis announcement of biscan-!
didacy is decidedly “different.”
But why shouldn’t it be?
Mr. Saunders is “different" him !
self. i
And he is original, which cannot 1
be said of every aspirant for legisla
tive office. :
LATE REPENTANCE.
Charity and Children. |
Morris Hilquit, once Socialist can- i
didate for governor of New York and 1
a leader of the party in that state. j
has announced that the Socialists i
have abandoned their bitter criticism 1
of the League of Nations and swung
around to the other side. They are ,
about six years late in seeing the -
light, but better late than never. One
of the most curious phases of the
fight against President Wilson was
the “coalition of Bllfil and Black
George” that arrayed itself against i
him. Politics make strange bed-fel- j
lows, but it never made stranger than
when it put Jim Reed, of Missouri,
and La Follette, of Wisconsin, under
the same counterpane. The curious
spectacle of the Chicago Tribune and
the New Republican, Lodge and
Borah, the Old Guard Republicans
and the Sooialists fighting shoulder
to shoulder was not stranger. Yet \
these were the things we witnessed i
in those bitter days. The vitupera
tion that Wilson received from the
Tories was excelled for venom only
; by the vituperation that he received
from the Socialists. The radicals
who at firet had supported him warm
ly could and did say meaner things
about him than even Reed could lay
tongup to. It was a convincing dem
onstration^ —bad any been needed—
the government of the country
cannot be entrusted to extremists of
any type, no more to extreme liberals
than to extreme conservatives. Wil
son is dead and jfone now, and the
Socialists are realizing that, after all,
there was quite a difference between
him And the man who have followed
him, and the difference is not to the
advantage of the radicals. So they
are swinging back towhrd Wilsonism
at the yery moment when their sup
port of Wilsonian is likely to do it
more hgrm than good. But that is
the way of the world.
