No man ever helped himself
knocking other people down in
character and business.
Il is the boy who attends strict
ly to business and makes his em
ployer's interests his own, who
will make his mark as a business
man.
The woman who has a home
and keeps it well, has no narrow
sphere in life. In the home is
the hope of the nation and the
church.
^ Don't grumble. The moftun
fortunate class of people living
upon this green earth are the
grumblers. They rob home of
its joy, society of its dues, and
themselves of the be& things of
life.
Our town is one of the cleaned
in the &ate, yet we want to beat
the record and there is Aill room
for improvements. Get busy, peo
ple and clean up any little rub
bish that may be around your
home.
Would it not be well lor par
ents who have children attend
ing school in the town to take
in tercel enough in the schools
and their children to visit the
schools at lea& one time during
the term.
At this time of ihe year peo
p'e are naturally discussing in
their minds the question, where
shall we buy our goods? As our
answer to this important prob
lem we refer them to tbe adver
tising columns of this issue.
There is many a young man
proud of his mother, who would
Arike into the du& any man who
would insult her, yet who, by his
own evil doings and h&d habits
is sharpening a dagger to plunge
through that mother's heart
You can begin to teach a child
to take pride in his or her home
town very early in life. Explain
to them bow it detratfs from the
beauty and value" of a town to
disfigure its sidewalks by piling
cirt on them or marking them up
with crayon. ? ? - ? ,.J

The days, weeks and years
slip away like water in A runn
ing stream. Time'* great clock
never loses a moment Relent
lessly, surely the moments pass,
and our eager hands are notable
to detain them. We cannot keep
back the flying y<3trs, but we
can and should keep the bless
ings they bring. Hold fa& to the
lessons they have taught Keep
the memory of iheir joys. En

garnered wealth of tbe days be

out that he has been going all

as a dangerous and suspicious

Make Cotton and Tobacco.
The experience of years has
taught those who have tried it
the folly of putting all their eggs
in one basket, of placing full de
pendence upon any one thing
which is susceptib'.e of change,
for when the smash comes and
the change comes to pas3 they
are undone.
At a meeting lad week of the
Sand Hills Farmers Association
held at Wc& End, in Moore
County, Mr. Bradford Knapp, of
the United States larm demon
oration work, was one of the
speakers. The subjed of tobac
co as a crop was under discus
sion and in his address to the
farmers Mr. Knapp gave them
the sound advice that the mem
bers of the association should
not depends <00 much upon to
bacco or any crop, and empha
sized that the principal business
of the farmer is the improve
ment of the soil, diversity of
crops, cultivation of men and in
stitutions, and attention to anni
mal husbandry.
Tharfarmer who depends up
on one crop is not a wise farmer.
He should consider what has
happened to the farmer who de
pended solely upon cotton, sole
ly upon tobacco. When price3
went down there wis smash for
these baskets of eggs. That
farmer is wise who keeps his
land in fine condition and who
diversifies his crops. Tobacco
is bringing good prices now, but
who cad tell what may happen?
Mr. Knapp is doing a real service
when he warns the farmers
azainft depending upon one crop

Font's Experiment.
The event of interest in the in
dustrial-world the pafi week was
tbe-wuwHiued revolution in the
bushwas methods of the Ford
Motor Company. This eoastti
ed in raising the minhnum rates
of waxes from $2.34 a day to $5
a day, in dividing a gift of $10,
000.000 among its employes, the
taking on of a large number of
e. tra workmen .and the division
of its work hours each, making
a continous run of the fa<5tory.
Of course Ford gets a tremen
dous amount of advertising out
of this, and in the final analysis
he is expe&ed to make $45,090,
000 in profits where he has been
making $20,000,000. This he
witl be able to do by the never
shut-down plan through ' the
eight-hour shift and the increase,
in ?Ke number of workmen. The
extraordinary success of Henry
Ford in the manundun c f auto
mobiles has been brought visi
bly to the front by this recent de
parture. It develops that this
company manufadhires one half
of the total of 400,000 machines
turned out in this cpuntry, the
output of the Ford fo&ory have
jumped from 75,000 to that figure
in a little less than a single year.
This success has been attributed
entirely to type of motor? 8>is
and the territory covered by the
salesmen and capacity of pco
dutftion. What the industrial
and manufacturing world will
be mainly intereAed in, however,
is the trial of the eight-hoar shift
The net remit, it is expeded,
will be the amassing of a profit
that will more than ju&ily the
increase in wages and the distri
bution cf the prize money. He
will be able to make $190 oo
each machine where IphisbMO
making $100.-Charlotte Obaer.

Two men on a train were appa*
ently old acquaintances, and they
were in a jovial mood. Both were
gray, but each had a luxuriant head
of hair. Near them aat a (tout party
with a shining dome that waa almost
destitute of hirsute covering.
The two friends exchanged face
tious ranarka about silver lscks, then
indulged in some pleasantries about
the "thinning of the thatch," with
casual references to doorknobs and
billiard balls, much to the amuse

evident discomfiture of the bald
The talk finally developed into aa
argument of the cause of baMims,
