THE OLDEST NEWSPAPERS fThat newspapers compare favorably with other enterprises In stability Is- Indicated by the fact that there are now 108 weeklies and 84 dailies in the United Stales which have been published for more than 100 years.

The oldest dally Is the Hardford Courant, pub llshed since 17*5. -Naturally enough, moat of the papers which are more than a century old are In the East, but three are published west of the Mississippi river. These are the Arkansas Gazette at Little Ilock, a daily dating front 1819; the wdekly Herald-States matt at Columbip. Mo.. 1821; and the dully Haw key e at Burllnglflb, la., 1830. New York State leads In the nuin ber of century-Old newspapers, wttli 16 dailies and 26 weeklies, although only one of these, the Evening Post, - is published in New York City. Penn sylvanla stands second and Ohit third on the list. . It us unfortunate that few files ol our oldest newspapers have been pre served. They contained a wealth oi historical material much of which is now forever lost.?News Herald. WORD* It is our responsibility to choose the words we use. A word once apok en U gne forever on whaiewr alon it Is sent. It cannot be recalled, H cannot be destroyed. Just think ol the words that we have spoken in anger, jealously, suspicion or hatred There Is but one thing that cau counter balance thsee; words thai are spoken in kindness, in love, in faith, words of encouragement where they are needed along a lone hard way.' . How words travel through the air! How easily they are picked up, only to be sent out again. They cannot be tJestroyed. Yet we speak them so lightly, so thoughtlessly, so harm fully. No wonder we are told the sins of the tongue are many. We should watch our wni-H? (-i<waIv When we find cruel, hard, unkind words about to be spoken. let ua wait a while and reconsider; then I am sure these words will not be said. iLet us not be stingy with words of encouragement. Let a harmful story drop When it conies to us. and In Its place send out a kindly thought. Kind thoughts are needed more than repetition of the tale that has already done enough harm. There never as yet has been anyone so bad that some good could not be said! about him. Let us find the good, and tell it. Many, a thoughtless word has ruined a person's whole life and many a good word has brought happiness. Such is the power of words to discourage or inspire we should be careful of those we chose.?Selected.

Tuesday afternoon we were watting when the papers came in. The postal clerk hollered! thru the wlndew that we-would have to wait an AnniP mlstnlra hnH Hoah maHd bundle of papers was so large that the wrong package must have been put off. But upon examination the bundle was Intended for Kings Mown tain subscribers. It wbb the 50th anniversary edition. The slie and weight compared with Webster's unabriged dictionary. And the Information contained In Its numerous pnges. would compare with the World Almanac. - . it la truly a handsome edition trod every standpoint. There Is a greet deal of satlafaltlon knowing one has done a good Job. This Golden Juh'lce inaster-ilece pf newronperlrvg is a Job well done.

Lynch Eph Rhodes Is getting in the "sheik" class. He Is sprouting a moustache. Will Mauney was one of the Organizer! of the original football team at t-enojr-Rhyne College in 1907. In a lecent issue of the college publication a picture of the first team was printed on the front page. I asked several to identify the local man, but :hey could not find him, he was so much better looking then than he is now. Finally Mr. W. K. oeme by the office and pointed himself out. Preacher Hamm Is such a busy jnan, and runs around so much, a friend if his stopped him the other day and took him home and Introduced him to Mrs. Hamm. The friend was afraid Mrs. Hamm would forget what her husband looked like. I went up to Forest City last week to the football game with Postmaster Blakely, Preacher Boyce, Salesman Keeter, and Sodajarker Houston or maybe I should have said Foun* tainser Houston. Anyway we saw the game. It was a good game even touchdown, in the last half minute was hard to oose, but such Is life. I If one team wins the other must lose. That old friendly spirit still prevails in Kings Mountain. O. W. Myers was busy getting ready to open nit new store, uyron rveeier was in ' New York City on a buying trip for hit store. Myers wired Keeter to buy him some price tickets. Keeter glad1 ly bought the tickets and rushed 1 them to Myers In time for the opening. Charlie Thomasson certainly . > known his football. He called in adJ vance the play the Forest City boys , pulled, on Kings Mountain to score the f.rst touchdown. i I can't understand it.

I I 1 New races Ai Washington By RAYMOND PITCAIKN I .As a result of the recent elections, many new faces will appear when Congress next meets In Washington. And. as another result, a somewhat different concept of the legislator's responsibility to his constituents may aisp be evident. For again the people have spoken? expressing by their ballots approval of the pledges, the promises and the appeals hurled at them by the successful candidates in the course of campaign oratory. Bnt to neither the candidate nor the voter should the end of the election campaign mean the end of responsibility for the welfare of the nation and its people. Their responsibility grows instead, as the time comes to make those pledges good. In every state citizens have been promised faithful representation and a sincere regard for their Interests by the candidates In whom they have voted confidence. This should mean just what it says. It should mean that the elected officeholder thinks of his constituent* first, and of his political aspirations second. It should mean that he considers hlmstlf the servant of the people, rather vn?n uie puppei or a pariy leaner, waning only for the tug of political (trior* It (hould mean that he reatixee the money he rotes for reekleos expenditure by politicians modi bureaucrats la the oeople's money earned and supplied by them throuyh their labors, their sacrifices and their saving*. These are things which every public ervant knows. But sometimes, after Election Day, he forgets his constituents. Sometimes the urgent orders of political overlords seem to drown out the Just expectations of the men and women he was chosen to represent. That Is why 1 frequent reminders of his campaign promises to the folks back home are so important. For the office-holder to remember and fulfill his pledges Is, In the long run, , good politico. And for constituents to bold him to that responsibility Is not only good > Citlienshlp?under our system of Gov;f eminent by the Feopie, it la sownd i Americanism. . . * . . f *' '. s ' I HE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD RELIGION Many into the Temple bring Qifts of stiver and gold And with bare knees kneel; To appease the wrath of their God, Hoping a blessing tor the gift* Prom a God who hast no feel.

Gaby returns Miguel's love but refuses to divorce her husband because she cannot hurt Peter, who depends c: '.pletely on her. While Miguel is in America Peter becomes ill and Gaby nurses him devotedly. The doctor tells her to givo him a sleeping draught ? but never more than twenty drops. Miguel returns and phones Gaby, but she refuses to leave Peter's stde. Deeply troubled, she tries to sleep, but hears Miguel calling her. Chapter Six "Gaby, I need you. Come to me. Gaby," she heard Michael's deep, troubled voice. "Tea. dear," -whispered Oahy. Then Peter spoke. "Gaby, wherq are you? Tour place Is here." "Yes, darling," murmured Gaby. They kept calling her from either aide ? first one, then the other. Michael's strong, insistent coll: "Gaby, Gaby, I am waiting; when are you coming, Gaby?"

And now she Is pouring out the j little drops Into the glass ? ten | drops, eleven drops, twelve drops, | fourteen, sixteen, eighteen, twenty. And she gives the glass to Peter, who drinks deep, and lies back c his bed. "Gaby," he gasps, "why have you poisoned me? "Because I didn't want to leave you, Peeps." "That was kind of you, wasn't It?" "Are you dead now, Peeps?" sho breathes. . "Yea" "GJd It hurt? May I go away now; No. Not yet." "How much longer muat I stay*. "Twenty years, thirty years, forty years." "AU right, Peeps," she sighs. "A11 right." Oaby awoke, sobbing wildly, hysterically. It had been a dream! A dream? No ? a horrible, gruesome nightmare. Could this be what her subconscious desires, released In sleep, pointed to? No ? no ? this . was not what she wanted; she loved her husband; he needed her; she would be loyal to him. Oaby clung to Peter, erying brokenly ? unnerved by her dream, still half believing It to be true. She sobbed and sobbed and would not be consoled, "It's another of her nightmares," sold Christine. "She must have some fresh air. She hasn't been out of the house for weeks." find Oaby, finally composing herf, agreed to go Out for a walk. "Tog must go away and never come ,baek.

"Do you think I'm going to let you go now?" he Insisted. "After all those weeks of agony? You are mine!" She pleaded that she did not love him any longer; that she loved Peter only. He would not listen, would not believe. "I know what's in your mind," he declared finally. You're trying to threw away your life to help Peter. I wont let you go." "No. no. X love Peter. I must go to Peter." , "You are mine ... you are mine," he whispered, as his arms went around her ? tighter and tighter, relentlessly.

She finished writing, folded the paper fumbllngly and put it in her purse; then wandered out of tbo shop and down toward the Thames, followed by the Interested gaze of some costers sitting at the other tables. The water was Icy In midwinter, but no matter; a little pill thrust between her Hps at the last moment made certain that she would not even feel the chllL A youth on the bank saw her go ' under.

You have always been so fond of me, and now I aim going to make you dreadfully unhappy; but if I stayed With you 1 would make you even more unhappy.
