Teachers
. Ifffe may bo permitted a w ord
we would like to magnify the
profession of the teacher.
One reason why the schools
are not better than they are that
teaching is not considered as i
profession. Boys and girls go in
to teaching as a stepping stone
to something else to make money
in order to prepare for some
thine else. If we take the most
successful teachers and those
who have attained any preemi
nence as teachers we find that
they have made it a profession
and have studied it just as a doc
tor does medicine or a lawyer
does law teaching should be put
on the same level and really is
better. Lawyers and doctors
are to cure abnormal conditions,
A teacher is to train a normal
conditioned person to develope
themselves. Doctors and lawyers
only have the few rare occasions
the teacher has the child for a
long time, and still they do their
work half trained and in a slip
ahod way saying often times.
Oh I am doing this only for a
little while; soon I will do some
thing elie. If you want to do
mankind a benefit be a teacher,
but do it with the thought of
making it your life work and go
in to make a success of it and
you go into it with this idea you
will attain eminence.
SPRINQ CREEK ITEMS.
vjuiteasaa airair occured on
Little Pine creek last Monday
afternoon when Mr. Geo. Red
mon tcok his own life. Domestic
trouble led him to say in the
presence of his wife that he was
going to end his life and picking
p his gun he sat down and
placing the barrell against his
stomach he fired, dying instant
ly. The only person present
was his wife. She said he told
her he was going to kill himself
but she did not believe him and
even when he placed the gan as
be did she did not still acredit
his threat. Mr. Kedmon lived
about Paynes Chapel. His body
was brought to Dry Pond for
burial on Tuesday. It is sad to
chronicle such happenings.
Last Tuesday was quite a ser
ous day on the railroad near
Marshall. Monday evening a
rock slipped down near.the'track
and scraped the "special," a car
load of rara hnrses wcro nn th
train and one of - the jockeys
jumpod out and was somewhat
hurt. A short time afterwards
the dirt moved down andp02
was delayed seven hours, hardly
had it passed when a larger slide
came down and it was impossible
to cjean away the track, so a
track was built around and 86,
28 and 12 came through after
two o'clock. The work of clean
lngftbe track was quite a job
and is finished after a couple of
days work.
The farmers aie making rapid
progress preparing for the com
ing crops, and it is predicted by
many that the yield of the com
ing season will be much greater
than that of the previous year,
The feed supply is almost ex
hausted in our community and
the stock raisers are glad to
welcome every ray of sunshine,
Knowing mat it will onng grass
and foliage which is so soon to
be needed.
Glad to note that the people
of our community are not dis
cussing the farming business a
lone. but are taking up the great
and important questions in re
gard to better ' roads, better
schools, better social life, better
churches and various other sub
jects, which if rightly developed
and carried out will prove a
great blessing to all and bring
about higher planes of life in
every respect.
Our high school which proved
to be a great success has just
closed. We bid God-speed to
the worthy instructors, trusting
that future lields of labor which
they enter, may receive a great
portion of the vast instruction
imparted to us. We wish to
thank each and every teacheV
for the gallant and heroic ser
vice rendered in our community.
We as a people are glad to pres
ent you to the public as our wor
thy teachers, the names of which
are as follows: iJrof. G. C.
Brown, principal, Prof. S. J.
Peek, Miss Flora Lusk, assist
ants.
Sunday schools and prayer
meetings are being organized
and carried on with great suc
cess. May all be benefitted by
their existence.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday
last; the Fifth Sunday meeting
of the Newfound Baptist Asso
ciation met with the Baptist
church at the Flats of Spring
Creek. The meeting was well
attended and all present seemed
to enjoy the exercises, Rev:
Wellons, pastor of M. E. Church,
delivered the introductory ser
mon giving a very able discourse.
The question as to the needs
of the association and how they
should be met, was very interest
ingly discussed by the following
speakers: Jno. D. Balding, Rev
Wellona, Rev. R. H. Hipps
Hon. T. L. Plemmons.
Another interesting feature of
the meeting was the denuncia
tion of Russellism by Hon. T. L
Plemmons, Rev. Rob Cogdill
who declared, that Russellism
should be eradicated, and never
again be permitted to poison the
christian atmosphere of our fair
land.

ROOSEVELT APPROVED OF RE
CIPROCITY WITH CANADA.
In case anyone is Inclined to
favor the nomination of Roose

of the latter's effort to have' re
ciprocity with Canada the fol

will show Roosovelts ideas on
the subject:

rrom a speecii delivered in
New York on Feb. 13, 1011
And in addition to what has
been suiil about reciprocity with
Canada, I would like to make
this point: It should always be
a cardinal point in our foreign
policy to establish the closest and
most friendly relations of equal

it represents an effort to bring

Senator Bob Taylor died last
Sunday and was buried at Knox

tor Taylor was onto of the best
known men in the coantry as
governor, representative and
senttor, he has been -in politics
for many year. He was,, also
known as a lecturer far and wide

No matter how loudly we talk
about principle, right and wrong
and all that, most if not all of us
like to be on the winning side.
The following letter written
by a friend of mine to the New
York Sun just after Roosevelt's
defeat in the primaries in New
York last month shows ; that he
is by no means always winner:
"New York, Mar. 25, 1912.
"Editor New York Sun.
"My first remembrance of T.
uooseveu was wnen he made a
speech at Leonard and Church
ClL A - 11
streets, , wnen ne was running
for Mayor of: New York City.
As we all know, he was "licked."
The next time I met him was at
the Chicago Convention which
nominated Blaine; and you , will
remember, he and Curtis bitterly
opposed Blaine's nomination. He
was "licked" again. Everyone
knows that at the recent election
ha was beaten to a frazzle." In
fact, I think yoa will agiee with
me, that every time he has
"thrown his bat in the ring and
stripped to the buff he has been
licked" and the only time he
has been successful' has been
when he has gone with the tide."
- "Taft Republican."
Now is a good time to get on
the winning .side and climb on
the "Taft Band Wagon" as it is
already crowded with delegates
to the National Convention and
more are getting on at every
primary and state convention.

had such a dreadful couch." he writes
"that all our family thought he was
going into consumption, but he began
to use Dr. JClng'a New Discovery, and
was completely cured by ten bottles.
Now he is sound and well and weighs

Indian Gap, North State,
February 24, 1912.
To the folks on the farmr
I notice that my Republican
friends down at the "county
site" are pulling off a newspaper
controversy warm and wordy in
regard to Republican presidential
timber.
One politician, who is a lawyer
of ability, arraigns Mr. Taft for
many mistakes and makes a
strong presentation of tte claims
of Theodore Roosevelt to the
presidency.
Ho says that Taft has not
proven to be what he considers
a good Republican and that he
insulted some Republicans some
way; and he went ou to say: I
believe he said 114,000, but I'm
not sure he said that many; you
see that woud be pretty big insult.
And he claims that Taft got
mixed up some way in appoint
ing a judge and selected a man
that wasn't politically qualified
for the place.
Then this correspondent says
he don't like Taft's way of doing
business with Canada. But if I
remember aright about that
Canada matter there was noth
ing doing."
A wealthy manufacturer who
has recently immigrated hither
replies to the above charges and
that the question as to which is
the best Republican, Taft or
Roosevelt, is unimportant a s
compared with t h e question,
which has made the best Presi
dent? And that looks like sound
doctrine, but my friend might as
well undertake to preach sin un
to salvation as to preach that
doctrine in this vicinity or the
suburbs hereof.
And he quotes a Massachusetts
man who says that the difference
between Taft and Roosevelt in
dealing with the trusts is that
Taft uses the law and Roosevelt
uses harsh language. Now the
man quoted didn't say what he
meant by "harsh language" but
I presume he either meant wind
and gas or profanity; possibly
the latter; because 'it's known
that Roosevelt sometimes applies
that remedy to aggravate cases
emember distinctly that that's
the remeiy he applied in 1903
when some Republicans objected
to Taft on the ground that his
religious belief was not scrip
turial."
A prominent county official
comes to Mr. Taft s. relief and
makes a strong defense of his
policies and condemns the Roose
velt policies, tie gives various
reasons why Madison should not
help put the- "'rough rider'' in
the saddle, ;
He seems to think that Mr
Taft had some grounds for hi3
attitude towards Republican pol
itics in North Carolina, and
speaks of the gnashing of teeth
and other troubles between the
"outs"-and "ins." ; ;
He says that if the pie counter
were eliminated from politics
both parties would be more pa
triotic. : And he is right about
that.. But I fear that if there
were no pie-counter there would
bo no politics. Pie-counter"
an! "politics" are s o nearly
identical that if you were to e
liunfnate one there would be none
of the other left. It would be
like eliminating the darkies from
the Degroes.
A farmer , politician who re
sides near , the "county site"
comes out in a strong i article in
which he don't take the- last
named correspondent's position;
but I believe he would take it if
it's satisfactory all round. And
I notice that another gentleman
announced specifically that he is
desirous of taking the same posi
tion. '' ' Vt
