AI’THOR OF~HOME SWEET
HOME” LIVED IN SORROW
This Is the One Hundredth Anniver
sary of Payne’s Birth.
Atlanta. June 12.—C4*)—The deep
est sorrow and the greatest joy that
j usually comes into the life of any
man—jail and a sweetheart—-entered
the life of John Howard Payne, auth
or of “Home, Sweet Home,” daring
deys he spent in Georgia. Today
was the one fiundred and fourteenth
anniversary of Payne's birth.
From the former, he was soon re
leased, but in the gentle bondage of
the latter he remained a life-long
prisoner. As for the girl, she re
tained her maiden name, dying at 70
and carried to her grave in Ooconee
cemetery, Athens, Ga., an undiinmed
image of liHr poet-lover.
While in New York in 1832, Payne
became interested in the then pro
posed removal of the Cherokee In
dinbs of Georgia to trans-Mississippi
territory. To ascertain the real
facts in the ease, Payne came to
Georgia in 1830. He became the
guest of John Ross, leader of one
faction of the Cherokees which bitter
ly opposed the deportation. His visit
and its object was unknown and soon
be was arrested and placed in prison.
Payne remained a prlSbner until
liis release was procured by Gen. Ed
ward Harden, to whom he had brought
a letter of introduction. Insisting
that I’ayne became his guest, General
Harden took (he |>oet to the famous
old Harden home at Athens where
he fell deeply in love with Miss Mary
Harden, the general's daughters Af
ter his departure, lie wrote her a
fervid love letter, in which he related
his comparative poverty and asked
*ier to marry him. This is the only
letter lie wrote her op which trace
Fas been found. Just what was her
reply has never been known.
TIME EXTENDED
Recent Law Extended Veteran’s In
surance Time to .July 2, 1927
Charlotte, June 12.—J. 8. Pittman,
regional manager. I’nited States vet- 1
ernns’ bureau, Charlotte, announces
receipt of y communication from the
director of Hie bureau at Washington 1
to the effect that a recent amend
ment to existing Inw extends the
time to July 2, 11(27, during which
yearly renewable term insurance may j
be continued! and converted, and that!
bf”'thA-**t>urt‘im will "W
amended to provide for the reinstate
ment of lapsed yearly renewable term j
insurance up to and including the
date above mentioned, upon proof oi
i insurability and the payment of pre
! iniums.
The law also provides for the right
| to convert war risk (term) insurance
| to a new five-year level premium term
policy in addition to the six standard
j P-ans of life and endowment insur-
I a nee.
; Mr. Pittman calls attention to the
fact that while Hie term limit lias
been extended, all eligible veterans
who have allowed their insurance to
lapse should safeguard their insur
able interests by making application
for reinstatement without delav, in
view of the fact that in order to re
ceive- favorable consideration for re
instatement, one must furnish medical
evidence of good health.
While applications and requests for
general information upon the subject
may be addressed to the Insurance
Division, U. S. Veterans’ Bureau
Washington, D. C„ residents of tile
state of North Carolina would find it
i more convenient to communicate di
rect with the regional office of the
bureau at Charlotte. N. C., of to lo

Practical Sentiment.
“What's that ” asked the man/
excitedly glancing at the headlines
on the news stand, “Edinburgh ex
press wrecked near Iluiidee’’
“And my wife was on that train.”
said the Scotchman, as he turned to
walk away.
“Well, aren't you going to get a
pajier and read the details?”
“Oh. I’ll wait for the later edi
tion, and get the football news at
tHe same time.” replied the Scotch
man.
It costs between $15,000 and $20,-
000 to stage the English Henley
regatta each year, the most of which
sum is raised by priyutae subscrip
tion!.
Dinner Stories
, Broke the Record.
An old gentleman, watcb in hand,
stopped a passing Instructor at a
bathing pobl.
“Instructor,” he said, “what is
1 the longest time ever stayed
( under water?”
“•Why, about five minutes, I
guess,” said the instructor.
"Then,” said the old gentleman,
I “there’s a,' fat business man over*
there in the deep part of the pool
who has broken all the records. I’ve
been timing him. He’s been down over
nine minutes now, and you can see
r for youiwelf, that he shows no signs
of coming np yet.”
t'nnecessary Expense.
A' clergyman married a very old
couple—the bride was (58 arid the
bridegroom 70. The latter had buried
j two wives.
After the ceremony the bridegroom
• said, “Well, minister, 1 may tell ye
• she was my first love.”
' “Yes, sir, I was that,” said the
1 woman, “for when $ was a lassie o’
20 he used to trot me out ulong the
' road where your manse now stands.”
After a little the bridegroom got
’ more confidential still, and said,
■ "Yes, sir, she was my first love, amj
• it would have been better for i#' if
‘ I had married her first. It would
I have saved me two burials.”
, Little Man—This is my first, visit
. to a race meeting, and I feel thrilled.
Veteran—That’s the idea, Gover
nor. Had aiiy luck?
I Little Man—O, yes. I found a
, jolly piuce wKcfe on*e can get cof
fee and sandwiches quite reason
ably.

"Yes, mamma." he replied.

“You are charged with bringing

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIDUNE
Stingiest Person
New York Daily Mirror.
The stingiest person I know is a
girl that keeps her hat and coat on
so that she does not have to spend ten
cent*.
The stingiest person I know is my
neighbors who is always borrowing my
knives.
* The stingiest person I know is a
man who gives his • newspaper to a
blind man.
The stingiest person I know is a 1
man who wouldn’t buy his grand
mother enough lard to grease the
hinges on her specs.
The Smite of Satisfaction.
You can tell a man by his smile.
There is the man that smiles a
smirk of iusiheerity, showing his
terth in the hope of ingratiating him
self. There is the man Ikbo smiles
the grim of perfect vacuity. There
is the cold, cruel, selfish smile; there
is the sardonic smile of sarcastic dis
approval.
A smile may lurk on the face, of a
villain about to foreclose the mort
gage on the homestead ; it may play
on the youthful face of the sleeping
boy. A smile may be a formality, a
cbmpliinent, a threat, an insult. I
I poii the fate of the busy manager
sometimes there appears a golden
K-ni'e. True, he smiles often, in
greeting, in reflection, in comment,
Hi question, in approval. But this
is a rare and wonderful smile.
It comes on liis face, this smile of
greatest satisfaction, when one of liis
organization lias earned by industry,
application, intelligence, loyalty, and
uniisual service,’ unusual recognition
and advancement.
AboUl Advertising.
C. ,C. Wenningham.
There is nothing ipysterious about
advertising. It is just a part of
business. I; performs .only one func
tion. It cannot possibly make up
for limited need, unorganized mar
kets, lack pf capital and incompetent
management. No advertising cam
p(itan can be a success thrit is not
founded upon well balnnced. well or
ganized. well managed business.
Don't he deceived about the "pow
er" of advertising. It can and does
exert tremendous advantages in mar
keting. but its successful use and ap
plication depends upon experience.
Bear ill mind that advertising won't
accomplish the impossible, aiid that
the best tiling one can do when em
byakiilg upon advertising is to em
ploy 'experience. Records only count
what there is an all things.

Think!
Judge E, H. Gary, in Personal Ef
ficiency, May, 1925.
But study alone is not enough: the
ambitious man must think. If he is
not succeeding, he takes account of
himself and. by thinking, tries to find
out vVliflt he can do to become suc-
to get ahead. Hi’ analyzes
ins own situation : he tries to find out
whut is wrong: he seeks advice, but
he depends unon himself and his own
thinking. He can help himself in
away that no one else can help him.
