C. ^ Congressman Pou lalks to Teachers. The teachers of the county, to gether with a large number of our citizens, had t lie pleasure of hear ing Congressman Edward \V. Pou deliver an address on "The True Aristocrat of the Twentieth Cen tury" in the court house here Wednesday evening. It was a masterly address, filled with rich thought and eloquently delivered The large audience was pleased and all went away feeling that they had learned something of worth, feeling that money-getting is not all of life. A mere synopsis of the address would not do it justice. It was tilled with terse and epigrammatic sentences, Borne of which follow: "Money alone never made no bility of persons. Both alone never made anybody any better than anybody else." "Wealth makes a mistake when it seeks only wealth for its asso ciates. It needs contact with poverty. In seclusion it may render the atmosphere around it thick and poisonous. It may breed germs which bring death to a human soul." "The man the world remembers' longest is he who loves his fellow man more than hedoes a dollar." "No man has the right, mor ally, to pile up unused riches, so long as thecryof hunger is heard, or the form of naked poverty is j present amongst us." "Ignorance is slavery; educa tion is freedom. Ignorance is darkness; education is light." "Life itself is a trust, which can only be used lawfully in the up building of those things which; are good." In defining the true aristocrat of the 20th Century, Mr. Pou j said: "Who then shall be the true: aristocrat? Not he who can trace j his ancestry furtherestback. Not he who happens to be descended from some English lord. Not he whom fortune has made rich Not the most accomplished per son in the social world. These things surely will not disqualify, but the crown of true aristocracy may be worn by anybody, it mat ters not how poor he may be or how humtde his parentage. If - be conceives lofty ideals and strives to attam to them, if he - loves truth, if he strives to build | a beautiful character, if he is will ing to serve for the good of oth ers, he shall be enrolled amongst the nobility of the land if he hasn't a dollar in the world." Teachers' Association Heels. The Johnston County Teach ers' Association held a meeting in the court house Tuesduy night and re-elected officers as follows: President?Mr. J. P. Canaday, of Benson. Secretary?Mr.George B.Strick land, of Smithfleld. Treasurer?Miss Mvrtie Har per, of Smithfield. Short talks were made by Mr. J. P. Canaday, Prof. Turlington and Prof. Foust. Masonic Notice.
