One boaster is worth mote to a
town or conmuunky than legions of
knockers. To which data do you
hdcr«?
The death of General Villa, the
raced Mexican Lendrr leader, came
about in the manner that might
have been expected. He met the
same fate thsU he had meted out to
m many others.
The Atlantic Coast Lint is tak
ing its own good lime in repairing
the platform on North Lucknow
square. As it now sands it pre
sents an ugly appearance, and de
tracts from the town's good looks.
Met as bow the auditors* re
port of the financial standing of the
State proved satisfactorvto all con
tented, it urn thavc been another
case of aiucfc-a-dn a boot noshing.

The Robeson county Xu Kluxer*,
or their imitator*, whichever the
case may be. created a sensation
that has not been surpassed since
the, days of Henry Berry Lowry
and His band of outlaw*. It might
be added that the outlaw* iwercl
never known to take the advantage
of a defenseless woman.
Let's Find Oat
Ikt aman* eat boll weevils ? Some
farmer* who Eve in the Dunn dis
trict heUeve duu they da It is s
known fact that the martin will
eat honey bees, and that being true,
we do not doubt that they would
also find the bull weevil a palatable
and savory food. Martins in Urge
shoe* flit cotton field* of latt^and
dose abearvtp of thar activities
"T- to.ha true, no
is not far distant
will be
martin gourds."
This is indeed a season of big
. business failures. Daring the past
abr months several of Wall street’s
millionaire concerns have " gone
under." The latest of the failures
in which nwKoo* were involved nc
enrred Thursday night when Bar
ret It Company, of Augusta, Ga.
repute*! to have bcciv the world's
largest cotton factors, went broke.
In former days is was nothing un
usa.il for the "fry-siaes"of the finan
cial world to get caught, but of late
thr tide he* changed so as to include
the " bosses " of the game. In this
day even die wisest msn cannot
see far into the future, which ia
farther evidence that w* have not
yet reached " normalcy."
One of the chief ambitions of
every mdividnal who dlls the soil
for a livelihood should be to grow
tbs crops which will famish a cash
income that vriB enable him to pay
hath for what he has to buy. Yet
very few of the farmer* have at
tained dpi* atandard. Too many of
them winfidar cotton aa the only
crop to fandah dw finance* for

it, a bad habit, with many of the
farmer*. Occasionally yon will
find a farmer who baa broken away
from the habit, and it i* that farm

The al enttoo fanner ha* found
I a difficult task to ~kmp on top"
financially in (hi part, and with the
Ml nrrvfl m contend with, ho wiS
fidd I a much mom dUkuk under
• truth that aon crone* have been
committed in tome section* where
the Klan have been active during
tiae past ycar than had been com
mitted ia several years before.
While members of the Klan may
not have bean responsible for all
the crimes committed, we hold dial:
mhuy of them resulted from the
fact that such an organist ion ia in
existence.
U would seem that those who
joined the Klan with good and
noble intentions hare now seen
enough of its work to learn tliat it
is a fake remedy, and one that has
failed entirely to do the thii*
which it promised to do. It has
been weighed in th< balance and
found unequal to the task. It has
opened a channel for crime that be
fore it was organised was seldom
used—that of doing mischief under
mask. It may be true that good
men were fooled into joining the
Kbit, but in our opinion the major
portion of those who joiikd the
urganiration with the hope oT doing
good now belong to the "were
members" class.
When a remedy proves after a
thorough testing that it is worth
less for that which it is prescribed,
it U then time to discard it. The
Kit Klux Klan has been tried out
and has only aggravated the case.

The Sunday morning sermon was

that they were Chriadan by attend
ing church erevicae regularly and pay

The Scripture reading war Second
Corinthiani 8:1-4. Tbs text Second
Chronicles 17:16: "And next him waa
Amadlah ths eon of Zichri, who wil
lingly offered himself ante tea Lord;
end with him two bandied thousand
mighty man of valor.'* The theme,
"De the First Thing First" He
pointed out that a Christian la not a
Christian until he consecrates hhn
mlf wholly, life, energies, property,
everything, to the bnalnom of serv
ing and glorifying God. Also that a
church whose members arc aot eon
■wiswo ip no ruriaar rrom oeu wan
outsiders are. That when Christ call
ed Us d lari pic* ha called them to the
hardest, meet thankleea sad physical
ly dangerous service possible. Hist
the Christian*i task is net a kid-glove,
palm leaf fan job. That paying a lit
tle hash-money to the Lord is tot a
sufficient evidence of the Indwellb*
ef His Spirit. Tis lapoarible to re
produce the sermon, verbatim, from
memory but theta who would like to
beer Just aa good aanaona can come
