THE PEANUT MAN
Iwill tell you a story about
paenuts. As a boy, I was
thrown on my resources. I
had no relatives ? little educa
tion ? less money. Like all am
bitious American boys I longed
to be rich and successful. So I
earned a bit of money by hard
iwork. This I had the good
: sense to put in a bank. A safe
bank is the safest place in the
! world to keep your money.
| ' Then I got the bee in my
bonnet to be my own boss* 1
found my "Capital" would start
a yeanut stand. I started to
look for a location. I trampec
for days around the city I was
in. The good corners were all
taken up by others. Finall:
I saw a corner peanut man who
did little business. He was at
, the crossing of two streets.
The air circulated freely there
? sometimes a breeze ? at
other almost a gale. Yet hun
dreds pass him without buy
ing
? The reason why they did
not buy came to me. I had
found out something! I ar
ranged next day -with the own
er of a building about 50 feet
down the street for my little
stand. In a few days I was
there with my pushcart and
peanuts. By noon I had sold
every bag I had. The mer
chant at the crossing hadn't
sold to six people.
The peanut man never figur
ed out why I did a big business j
and kept it up day in and day
out, month in and month out.
Soon he "folded his tents like j
tiie Arabs, and as silently stole ;
away."
Why did he fail and I sue- j
ceed? Well, the wind blew i
FROM the corner merchant t r
my stand. The breezes car- |
l ied the delicious oder of roast- 4
ing peanuts. A man hurriedly |
turned the corner, passed the I
cross street merchant's stand j
without noticing him. Then, j
whiff ! He got a smell of del- j
icious roasted peanuts ! By j
the time he got to my stand he j
was hungry for peanuts ? anc! '
bought from me!
From an outside stand to an ;
inside store was a matter of a
little over a year. Today I am ,
a successful and prosperous I
man, blessed with the good j
things of life and hopeful wher I
my journey is over that I may |
not be found unworthy for
having used my small talent to !
the best advantage possible.
There are thousands of boye
and young men who have the j
opportunity to better them
selves in life ? if they will only !
keep their eyes open ? if the\ j
will only bank money and more
money and still more money
SO one ever arrives anywhere
without a Bank Account. ] j
opened one with my first few !
dollars. My Bank has been [
my best friend.
Use your Wits.
Bank your Money.
These two things are the
Foundation gtones to ALL Suc
cess.
Modern History records the
instance of no successful man
who had no Bank Account.
MRS. RHODES^MOVES HER
MILLINERY STOCK.
Mrs. E. Rhodes, who has for i
the past several years, conduct- ,
ed a millinery and dress mak- !
ing business up stairs in the
Wilkins building, this week ;
moved her stock of goods to the ;
first floor in the new store
building being completed by
Mr. W. Y. Wilkins on Trade
Street. This will make an ideal
place for her business, being !
much more convenient for the j
buying public.

THE SCHOOL LAW../
For the benefit of thosa who
do not know, I shall again
quote the School Law regard
ing compulsory attendance: 1
feel that a great many citizens
of the town and patrons of the
community, have either failed
to understand or certainly have
failed to comply with this law.
I believe that a kindly state
ment of law, and also a state
ment of what la required of me,
the Principal of the school, will
cause every body to feel differ
ently.
The State, in passing these
strict laws has shown the
greatest interest in the ediica-.
tion of her boys and girls. We,
the teachers, will make our
selves punishable for the vio
lation of this law if we do not
see that all children between
the ages of 8-15 in Try on school
district attend school.
Under Act. 47 General Com
pulsory Attendance Law, Sec
tion 5758;
"Every parent, guardian or
other person in the state hav
ing charge or control of a child
between the ages of 8 and 15
shall cause such child to at
tend school to the time which
the public school * shall be in
session".
The rules governing this
Compulsory Attendance JLaw
require that the Teacher or
Principal serve notice upon the
parent once a week, and unless
satisfactory excuse be ren
dered for the absence of the
child, the parent* guardian etc.
must be reported to the Court.
After being compelled to re
port two parents to tiie Court,
and its having nothing to do
out fine them, I think that all
will appreciate this Simple ex-?
planation. We do poi wish to^
r.ave any fined, but we are es
pecially anxious to ht.ve every
'joy and girl of school age, in
i'act of any age, cume to school
regularly.
Sincerelv yours,
D. W. SIMMONS..

Lets Live At Home This Year.
To help encourge Norh Caro
lina farm folks to live at home
this year, the Agriculture Ex
tension Service of the State
College and State Department
of Agriculture is cooperating
with Governor Cameron Mor
rison and the State Department
of Education to call this mat
ter to the attention of farmers
in every school district of
North Carolina on Washing
ton's birthday, Feb. 22 About
200,000 blank forms have been
printed and mailed to the coun
ty superintendents of public
instruction to be mailed by
them tb the school teachers in
each county asking that a meet
ing be called at the school house
on that date.
The extension service re
quests that after a discussion
of live-at-home policies, these
blanks be distributed to each
farm family repreeted at the
meeting and that the blanks be
signed and returned to Dir
ector Kilgore by February 20,
The farmer making a pass
mark of 70, that is if he will
agree to do seven things as re
quested on the blank form and
will live up to his agreement
iuring the year, will be award
ed a Certificate of Honor signed
by the Governor, Director Kil
gore and Supt. Brooks.
It is felt this is a great for
ward movement in North Caro
lina and if carried out faith
fully will result in much good
to the State. Dr. Clarence Poe
of the Progressive Farmer is a
hearty supporter of the ' plan
and feels that it will help in
winning the financial indepen
dence of the Tarheel farmer.
Therefore every farmer should
give this program serious con
sideration and should see that
either he personally gets one of
these blanks on Feb. 22 or that
one of his children brngs one
home from school. Lets really
begin to live at home this year
urge extension workers.
?
The man who lives for him
self alone certainly has very
little to live for.

Mr. McKaige, Manager of
The Tryon Hosiery Mill has ex
pressed himself as being very
desirous of seeing the little
church finished that has been
rso long looking like a Monu

this very commendable in Mr.
McKige and hope he may have
the proper fo-operation. All
pull ogether and hasten its
completion. I
What has become of the fire
warden for this section? For
est fires were discovered burn

fundsi are short for this school
year, especially for Lynn, and
the school will close in a few
days.
The Tryon Hosiery Mfg. Co.,
